Chapter 398 [The world is me](2/2)
At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded beside me: "Hey, what are you watching in a daze?"
Xia Ya didn't look back and said casually: "What?"
The old voice behind me was smiling: "It's been two quarters of an hour since I stood here, and everyone else has been exposed, just watching you still here in a daze and staring at the roots of the tree... What are you looking at? What's the good looking at in this tree root?"
Xia Ya took a breath, wiped her nose with a snot flowing out of her nose casually, and muttered, "Ants...the roots... are very beautiful."
The old voice behind him seemed to smile, and then Xia Ya saw a tall and thin old man with gray hair squatting beside him, shoulder to shoulder with him, even his posture was similar, usually supporting his chin with both hands. The old man squatting beside him turned his head and smiled at Xia Ya: "Is it really good? I'll watch with you for a while. Boy, how about you, what good view?"
Xia Ya glanced at this guy... The old man looked quite extraordinary. I think he should be the kind of handsome man who could fascinate him when he was young. But... no matter how handsome a man was, he had already become a scumbag when he was in his seventies and eighties. The old man's eyes were full of wrinkles, layer by layer, a little pointed chin, and his skin seemed to be a little unhealthy and dark.
But those eyes were surprisingly bright.
Xia Ya just glanced at him, then lazily withdrew her gaze and continued to look at the wriggling ant on the tree trunk: "It's good to look good, what else should I explain? If you can understand it, you will naturally think it's good to look good. If you can't understand it, it's a waste of saliva even if I explain it."
The old man was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled and said, "It's not bad! You guy's words make some sense! If you understand, you understand. If you don't understand, you still don't understand it. Yes, that's the truth."
Then he stopped talking, but just lowered his head and stared at the tree root with Xia Ya. The two of them sat on the stone and the other squatted on the ground, shoulder to shoulder, and kept watching.
Until the sun set and night fell, there was no more pedestrian in the square, only the old and the young were left, as if they were a little weird and still staring at the tree roots.
Finally, Xia Ya *** looked at her eyes and stood up first.
The old man also stood up and looked at Xia Ya: "Don't you look?"
"The sun is setting, it's so dark, how can I think?" Xia Ya curled her lips, as if she was still unsatisfied: "It's a pity... If I could live a little longer, maybe I could figure it out a little more."
The old man smiled and said, "Are you pretending to be a ghost or do you really understand something?"
Xia Ya glanced at the other party disdainfully, and her expression seemed to be very disdainful of the other party asking such an idiotic question.
"What did you see just now?" the old man suddenly said seriously.
"See... ourselves." Xia Ya answered seriously.
"I?" The old man laughed: "Nonsense, we both looked at the big trees and ants for an afternoon. How could we see ourselves?"
Xia Ya shook her head: "It's yourself."
The old man narrowed his eyes, as if there was a strange light flashing in his eyes: "Oh? Let's listen carefully?"
"I... don't know what to say, I only understand a little, and haven't figured it out all." Xia Ya sighed, he thought hard for a while, and slowly said: "Ants live on big trees, we live in this world. So, we are ants, and this world is a big tree."
"Hmph... I only think of this? That's nothing strange." The old man said lightly.
Xia Ya *** gagged her nose, thought for a while, and continued: "There are ants on the big tree, and we have hair on our bodies. Ants will live and die, and their hair will grow and fall off... So, we are also big trees ourselves."
As he said that, Xia Ya raised his hand and pointed to the surroundings: "Look, all the trees, all the grass, all the flowers here...the moss, vines, and the wild dog...the rats in the garbage dump in the corner, bed bugs...even the woods, mountains, rivers outside the city...everything...we are all this, all this is ourselves. In fact, it is the same. Well, it is all the same, everything is the same. So...the big trees are me, and the ants are also me, everything is ‘me’. Alas... I almost thought of so much."
Xia Ya looked at the old man in front of her and said slowly with a calm expression.
The old man suddenly had his eyes lit up, his face changed drastically, and he suddenly laughed wildly: "Okay! Well said! You really understand! Haha! I thought you were a little crazy, just a little crazy with you... Hahaha! Very good! God bless you! I actually found a little genius like you in such a place!"
The old man suddenly came up viciously and grabbed Xia Ya's shoulder: "How old are you? What's your name? Have you learned martial arts? Is there any master? Who is your master? Tell me quickly... Ah no! I don't need to ask anymore! Because even if you have a master, you can kick him directly! From today on, you are my apprentice! I am your teacher! Hahaha! Luck! Really luck! I actually met a little freak like you here! Hahahahaha!!!"
Seeing the old man suddenly excited and happy, Xia Ya was grabbed by the other party and couldn't break free. She could only smile bitterly and *** her eyes, and then smiled calmly: "That... Now it's my turn to ask you if you have any questions..."
He stared at the old man and asked seriously: "May I ask... are you wrong?"
Old man: “…………”
The two guys just stared at each other, staring at each other for a long time, and then the old man suddenly laughed: "Forget it, I'm so happy that I can ignore the words you contradict me. Boy... I like you, even if you want to run away... Well, do you live in this city? Just so happens that I'm here to do some boring and bad things, and it will take a few days to leave..."
When the old man said this, he suddenly seemed to suddenly wake up. He looked up at the dark sky and patted his head hard: "Oh no! It's so late!! Hell! I'm so tranced, and I've delayed everything! Oh no... Oh..."
He pulled one of Xia's arm and walked up the street: "I came here from thousands of miles to meet an old friend... My old friend is a crazy woman with a very strange temper, but she is very capable... She is comparable to me! This time I heard that she took over some godson, and her son was going to get married again. After years of love, she actually sent me an invitation. Although we have never been very close, we have to give her face after many years of knowing each other. Alas, it is a boring and bad thing to say. If it weren't for the sake of old friends for many years, I wouldn't have been lazy to travel like this, but I have to thank her. If I didn't come here, I wouldn't have met you, a little genius! Hahahaha!"
Xia Ya was originally pulled away by him, but when she heard the old guy's words, her expression became more and more strange as she heard it. She suddenly stopped and stopped and pointed at the old guy: "You... the 'boring bad things' you said is that your old friend's son is going to hold a wedding? Your old friend is a crazy woman with a bad temper but very good skills?"
The old man glared at him: "Not bad...what are you asking for this?"
Xia Ya sighed, then pointed at her nose: "That's a coincidence. The 'boring bad thing' you said was my wedding. And I, unfortunately, was the son of your crazy woman friend..."
