Translator: 549690339
With the end of the story, everyone thought that the series was coming to an end. After all, there seemed to be no better ending than this cat. However, they didn’t expect that the series was still not over.
Everyone had already guessed that this story was definitely different from the original. It was probably just the original name and beginning, but the content of the story was not much worse than the original. Hearing that the story was not over yet, everyone was both relieved and worried. They were relieved because they could hear more stories, and worried because they were worried about Zhang Zian’s ability to make up stories. They hoped that he would not make up a story that could have ended here with a dog’s tail and a ferret’s tail.
However, this series of stories was not entirely made up by Zhang Zian. He did not have such quick wisdom. He just processed the stories according to the elves ‘stories, keeping the original taste of the stories and making them more suitable for everyone’s taste.
Little celery blinked and asked in confusion,””Physics? What was physics? And what is a physicist?”
As a primary school student, she had never come into contact with this strange word.
“Physics, simply put, is the most basic existence and operating principle of matter. Physicists are scientists who specialize in physics.” Zhang Zian explained.
“Are you going to experiment on this cat like the zoologists?” Little celery asked again.
Zhang Zian shook his head,”yes and no.” To be precise, this cat can be said to exist, but it can also be said to not exist. It lives in a sealed black box, sometimes it exists, sometimes it doesn ‘t. Even this physicist has never seen it with his own eyes. ”
“That’s amazing ...” Little celery’s eyes widened.
Cai meiwen and the staff all guessed who the physicist was, but they were more curious about how he was going to make up the story.
“This time, it has a very magical ability. As long as it stays in the black box, it will never truly die. Even if it dies, it will immediately resurrect in the box, far more than a million times. However, once he left the black box, this ability would lose its effect. Little celery, if it was your cat, what would you want it to do? leave the box or stay in the box forever?” Zhang Zian threw the question to her.
Everyone was so addicted to the story that they had forgotten the original purpose of his story, but he didn’t forget that his purpose of telling this series of stories was to guide little celery to establish a correct view of life and death.
Little celery followed his gaze and looked at Galaxy. She remembered very clearly that this black-and-white kitten was the first special member of the Pet Shop. When it first came, it was very afraid of people. Even if she waved to it, it would be so afraid that it would hide behind a small sandalwood flower pot. Unconsciously, it seemed to be less afraid of people. Although it would still hide far away when customers came, when there were only acquaintances present like now, it would bravely walk a few steps away and look at them. It was so obedient that it made one’s heart ache.
......
If it was his cat ...
Little celery tried to imagine it. She saw the dead stray cat and heard that her mother’s dead dog had developed a resistance to death. If it was her cat, she hoped that it would stay in the black box forever, so that it would not die.
She told him the answer.
“It’s true that you won’t die if you stay in the black box, but what’s the point of this long life? Just to live? You can’t see the bright sunlight, you can’t smell the fragrance of grass and flowers, you can’t hear the laughter of your friends, you can’t taste delicious food, you can’t feel the warm embrace of your family ... Life is not just about living, it’s more important to do some meaningful things. ” Zhang Zian said.
Little celery thought hard.
“This cat died countless times in the black box and lived countless times. It finally understood this truth, so it tried to escape from the black box.”
Zhang Zian looked at Galaxy. He had heard famous talk about its strange experience. When it first appeared in the waxwork museum, it was inexplicably drawn into another seemingly real and illusory mental world. It spent a long time with the seemingly real and illusory Galaxy in the black box.
This experience might not be completely real, but according to famous’s experience of entering and exiting the imagined world many times, the result was real and would not change. Galaxy escaped from the black box at a certain time and then appeared in the world.
What was the reason for Galaxy to escape from the black box?
For the sake of freedom?
No, if a person was born in a room isolated from the world and had no contact with any books or media, he would not understand what freedom was, let alone pursue it.
But at least he would feel lonely.
“Because it was lonely, it escaped from the black box. Even though it only had one life outside, it still left without looking back, because there was sunlight, flowers, laughter, food, friends, and people who loved it ... All of these were more meaningful than eternal life. If you had all of these and lived a happy life, you would not feel regret even in the face of death.”
Zhang Zian turned his head to look at Cai meiwen.”Just like your mother’s dog. At least when it was alive, it was very happy. It loved its owner and spent a happy time with its owner. Although it died, you can say that it didn’t die, because it has been living in your mother’s memory and is still protecting her.”
Vladimir chanted excitedly,””Some people are alive, but they are already dead. Some people die, but he’s still alive!”
“It’s not just mottled hair, and it’s not just this cat that pursues happiness. There’s also the high and mighty cat, the cat that vanquishes violence and protects the good, the selfless cat, the cat that exquisitely works on acting, the cat that can sink fish and Wild Geese, the intelligent cat, the cat that devotedly practices, the cat that lives in luxury, the cat that writes quickly, and the cat that loves to dream that is not mentioned in detail in the story, the cat that thinks it is a dog, and millions of other cats, although they all died in the end. However, their stories have been left behind and spread by people. Every time more people know their stories, they live in more people’s hearts. ”
Zhang Zian squatted down and stroked the back of the lop-eared rabbit.”This rabbit will die one day, but if it can create beautiful memories with the person who loves it, I think it will feel that its life is full of sunshine.”
He glanced at the elves ‘faces and said firmly,””Happy life, no regrets in death?”
Cai meiwen’s throat choked up. Just as Zhang Zian had said, the image of mottled hair had always been in her memory. Even though she had forgotten the looks of her high school classmates, its image was still fresh.
“Mother!”
Little celery held Cai meiwen’s hand and looked up at her, begging,””Actually, I’ve been meaning to say this for a long time ... The next time we have a long vacation, let’s go back to our hometown together, okay? My grandparents are getting old, and they always come to Coast City to visit me. I want to visit them too ... I also want to see where my mother lived when she was young, see the school my mother went to ... I also want to see photos of me ...”
“Good! Mom promises you that we’ll go back to our hometown together during the Golden Week of November!”
Cai meiwen squatted down and hugged little celery tightly, her eyes hazy with tears.
She was no longer the little girl who would be scared helplessly by strange and suspicious men, and she was no longer afraid of him.
In her vision that was blurred by her tears, she seemed to see the mottled hair running out of the corridor to welcome them when she and little celery reached the downstairs of their old home. He ran in front of them and behind them, rubbing against the corner of their pants.
It was time to stop running away and face his inner demons.
The Elfins were also deep in thought. Except for Vladimir, they had never considered the meaning of life before. After listening to Zhang Zian’s words today, they couldn’t help but feel enlightened.
Their lives were full of unimaginable wonders, and they could summon the wind and rain in their era. But in retrospect, the deepest impression they had was not their own extraordinariness, but ... The person who had once brought them unforgettable memories.
They had regretted many things, but they never regretted the course of their lives, just like a white python that they had never met. It would rather suffer the pain of being cut in half at the waist to complete its fate, just to meet someone in its destiny.
As the saying goes,”happy life, no regrets in death!”
Little celery tried to turn her head away from her mother’s arms and asked,””Is the story of that cat over?”
Zhang Zian shook his head.”No, it is creating a new story with them, and there will be new cats to continue their story.”
“That’s great ...” Little celery said longingly.
Unknowingly, the sound of raindrops hitting the curtain Door stopped, and it was quiet outside.
The staff pulled open the blinds and looked out, then shouted in surprise,””Manager! The rain had stopped! The typhoon seems to have passed!”
“That’s great. ” Zhang Zian also let out a sigh of relief.
The passing of the typhoon was only the beginning. There was still heavy disaster relief and reconstruction work to be done, but at least it was a good start.
The lop-eared rabbit jumped to little celery’s feet, and its three-petal mouth kept wriggling, as if it was hungry.
Cai meiwen wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and stood up. She looked down at the lop-eared rabbit and said,””Thank you for telling me so much, but I still won’t agree to keep a pet.”
The staff and Zhang Zian were all stunned, and they looked at each other.
Logically speaking, even if one’s heart was made of stone, one should be able to break metal and stone with one’s sincerity. Why did she ...
Little celery also lowered her head in disappointment.
“Little celery, if you like, you can come to the store to visit them every day when you go to school. You can also play with them for a while, but you can’t take them home.” Cai meiwen gently stroked her daughter’s hair.”Because during the Golden Week and the winter and summer holidays, we went back to our hometown and no one took care of them.”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they understood her good intentions. If little celery brought the lop-eared rabbit and the hamster home, she probably wouldn’t have a reason to come to the Pet Shop again. But if she left the lop-eared rabbit and the hamster in the shop, she would have a legitimate reason to visit them every day.
Maybe she had finally realized that the people in the store were not bad people. Maybe she had figured out that she could not satisfy all of little celery’s emotional needs by herself. Little celery would also be lonely and need friends.
It was just that she was too embarrassed to say it directly, so she expressed her meaning in such a roundabout way with a cold face.
She probably had a tsundere personality when she was young.
Little celery didn’t think too much about it. What she was most worried about was that her mother would forbid her from coming to the Pet Shop again because she had kept it a secret for so long. But now her mother seemed to have allowed her to come to the Pet Shop every day to play. Although she still couldn’t bring the lop-eared rabbit and hamster home, it was good to visit them every day.
In terms of results, nothing seemed to have changed, but it also seemed to have changed a lot.
“Thank you, Mom!” She smiled through her tears.
She already knew that the hamster and the lop-eared rabbit would die one day, just like the stray cats and mottled fur, but she was no longer afraid. Instead, she felt a sense of urgency. She had to care and love them more. Before that day came, she had to work hard to create better memories with them.
It was already evening, and the sky was getting darker and darker. Soon, they would have to face the problem of how to spend the night.
With so many people, the Pet Shop definitely couldn’t accommodate them. There were also many inconveniences, and eating was also a big problem.
Cai meiwen didn’t say it out loud, but she was anxiously trying to come up with a plan. She wanted to take her daughter home, but she didn’t think it was possible. At least, she wouldn’t be able to leave the Pet Shop tonight. The water outside Yingluo was too deep. It would be fine if she was alone, but she couldn’t drag little celery home with her, right?
“Now that the typhoon is over, you guys want to go home too, don’t you?” Zhang Zian saw through her thoughts and waved his hand,””Follow me. Wang Qian and Li Kun, follow me too.”
Cai meiwen thought that he was going to open the curtain Door. The water outside was so deep, wouldn’t it all pour in once he opened the door?
To their surprise, Zhang Zian took them to the storage room on the second floor.
“Wang Qian, Li Kun, you two jump onto the roof of the car first, then into the water. Open the trunk and take out the assault boat.” He commanded.
The staff suddenly realized that they had almost forgotten about the assault boat.
Binhai city had already become a swamp. Was there any more convenient means of transportation than an assault boat?
Wang Qian and Li Kun were both wearing sports shorts, so they weren’t afraid of the dirty water. They jumped from the second floor to the top of the Wuling Hong Guang MPV, and then into the water. The water was already over their waists.
They used the key to open the trunk, took out the assault boat, put it on the roof, and then climbed up to inflate the assault boat.
After it was charged, Zhang Zian handed the fully charged battery to them from the house, and they installed it with ease.
Cai meiwen was dumbfounded. Which pet shop would have an assault boat? However, this was also good. With the assault boat, the road would definitely be smooth.
The assault boat could fit four people. She and little celery climbed out of the window, jumped on the roof, and sat in the assault boat.
Zhang Zian asked Wang Qian and Li Kun to take the mother and daughter home, then come back to take Lu Yiyun and Jiang Feifei back to the rental house. Finally, he asked them to drive the assault boat back to their home.
Wang Qian and Li Kun rubbed their hands together. The experience of sailing a boat in the city was not something that could be encountered every day. This journey must have been very cool.
