Chapter 1 Beginning to become a mayfly
Liu An's "Huainanzi·Shu Lin Xun":
The crane lives for thousands of years and travels very much; the mayfly is born in the morning and dies in the evening, and enjoys the joy.
Su Shi's "Red Cliff Fu":
Sent to the mayflies in the world, and the vast ocean is like a drop in the water.
The Book of Songs:
The feathers of the mayfly have a good dress. The worry of the heart is at my place of return. The wings of the mayfly have a good dress...
I can only live for a few hours, and I am sent to poetry by the ancients. I feel that I should appreciate all the beauty in my limited life.
The glory of life and the splendor of death.
Regarding this, Lin Yiwen just wants to say one thing: hetui!
You know what an egg!
If a son is not a fish, how can he know the joy of a fish? If a son is not a canfly, how can he know what a canfly is thinking?
Lin Yiwen knew that because he became a mayfly.
I was originally an ordinary graduate student in my twenties and was doing experiments with my tutor in the laboratory. My eyes went dark and I knew nothing.
When I woke up, my whole body...the whole insect was in a state of confusion.
In the distance are green green mountains, birds pass by in the blue sky, and in the near distance are gurgling streams, and a small shallow, and the red and yellow flowers sway gently when the breeze blows.
Lin Yiwen was still intoxicated by the beautiful scenery and suddenly realized something was wrong. He stood on the water. Not only that, he was surrounded by insects similar to dragonflies, some were flying in the air, some were standing on the water, and some were mate.
The angle of direct contact between each other was shaking, and then a conversation flashed in my mind.
"Wow, look at that mayfly, its tail is so long and sexy."
"Follower, that's only a male."
"Miss, do I have the honor to mate with you?"
"Get out! Sister, I'm not interested in you."
"Marriage, marriage, the newborn brother has seven hours of life, and is strong and strong, better than those old men who only have two hours left!"
“…”
Lin Yiwen was very confused. He was a graduate student in biology, so he naturally recognized what the creature was in front of him.
The mayfly, the most primitive winged insect, has a body length of about 3-27mm and a pair of long tail whiskers at the end of the abdomen, which is very similar to a dragonfly that has shrunk countless times. After two or three years of hatching, it becomes an adult, does not eat, and has a short lifespan. It takes a few hours or days to use almost all experiences for mating, which is inherently the saying of "life and death in the morning".
Something even more terrifying happened. Why do small insects with only a few millimeters look so clear in their eyes?
Lin Yiwen had an unknown premonition. He lowered his head and saw the reflection through the water:
Tentacles, compound eyes, yellow all over, raised their hands, are long tentacles...
"ah!!!"
He yelled, "I'm so floating!"
No wonder the tiny ephemerals are as big as themselves, no wonder they can understand the dialogue between them, no wonder they can float on the water, no wonder they can see the picture behind their heads at 360 degrees without blind spots.
His screams shocked several of the same people on the side and took a few steps back.
“What’s wrong with it?”
"I don't know, maybe my head is broken."
"Then we stay away from him, it will be bad if we are infected."
Lin Yiwen wants to complain, mmp, I am a human being, not a canfly. Do you understand the sadness in my heart? Oh, how can I understand their words?
As a graduate student in biology, he has always been distrustful of ghosts and gods, materialism, and all events can be explained by science.
But, what is the situation now?
Why did he suddenly turn from a human to a mayfly? Is he already dead? Is there really a saying that he is reincarnated?
Then why do you have to be a canfly?
"Amitabha Buddha, bless the Buddha beads, Guanyin Bodhisattva, God, Jesus..."
Lin Yiwen closed his eyes and sincerely recited the names of gods and Buddhas all over the sky. Even the Kitchen God did not fall. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was still a small golden insect.
There are several ephemerals next to it "tick your head and pose".
"Little brother, look at me and I was only half an hour old and I will definitely be able to give birth to healthy offspring."
"Don't be fooled by her. She is an old girl. Her wings are useless and she can't fly anymore. Look at me."
"These are both liars, one has problems with its wings, and the other is a cripple."
"Who do you think is the cripple?" Mother Eagle was furious.
"You are talking about you. If you don't accept it, take two steps, go!"
One of them flew over boldly and hit him: "Brother, are you mate?"
Lin Yiwen was collapsed. The sun hanging in the air made him feel a little drowsy. So when he was fighting with his competitors who wanted to mate, his wings shook, his body flew up, and he hid under a leaf.
"Damn, why do I fly?" Lin Yiwen lay on the leaves, feeling very sad. In fact, he knew that this was instinct, but there was no surprise at all.
So what if I can fly, I'm going to die.
Looking at the sun above my head, it shone straight down, it was probably twelve o'clock noon, and the season should be summer.
I don’t know how many of my fellow people are around me, and there are erotic palaces everywhere, either mating or on the way to mating.
Lin Yiwen was unmoved by this. It took him about half an hour to try pinching himself, but found that he couldn't do it, so he soaked his abdomen in the water and almost got suffocated to death.
I'm sure I'm not dreaming.
What a luxury, he spent one tenth of his life and came up with an answer that made him give up.
He, Lin Yiwen, became a canfly!
A breeze blew, and Lin Yiwen turned around a little, and found that the three "girls" who wanted to mate with him were still arguing. He didn't seem to notice that he had left. The one who had already left was already gone, mixed in the swarm, unable to tell who was who.
At this time, a black shadow approached quickly at the bottom of the water, and the target was the three mayflies who were fighting in a ball on the water.
It's a fish.
Lin Yiwen was very anxious and shouted: "Run, run!"
However, his voice was too small and he was blown away before he could pass it over, watching the three little insects swallowed in one bite.
Lin Yiwen felt a little sad. Even if he was not eaten by the fish, thousands or tens of thousands of similar people in front of him would die in a few hours. Now, he had already fallen on the water surface a little, and then shaking his legs a few times, and was rushed into the distance by the water flow, ending his life.
But these three are his fans.
It's funny to say that I have been reading for so many years and devoted myself to research, but I haven't even had a relationship. The only thing I met when I saw a girl who took the initiative to show goodwill was to sell him Amway.
As a result, three of them came this time, and they were very lucky.
Although the body is an insect, Lin Yiwen has no way to substitute it. He still has thoughts and thinks that he should be an individual.
Science cannot solve doubts, and prayer is ineffective.
Lin Yiwen decided not to go anywhere and enjoy the last few hours of his life.
While he was in a daze, a weak voice sounded around him.
"Why are you lying here?"
Lin Yiwen turned around and was also a golden ephemeral: "I'm thinking."
"What is thinking?" The ephemera looked in a bad mood.
"Just think about things."
"Oh, you seem to be different from us."
"Haha." Lin Yiwen quit: "Why are you here too?"
"Because I feel so tired, I want to have a sleep." Xiaoye's voice became much weaker.
"May I have your name?"
"What is a name?"
"It's just that I can call the other party, for example, my name is Lin Yiwen."
"I...I don't know, I want to have a name." The other party cheered up and cheered up
"Then your name is Lin Xiaoxiao."
