[JOJO] Alice in the wild and the lost rabbit

As the tide changes, the sea water moves away from the beach a little bit, exposing wet sand and a coast full of various shells and coral fragments, and there are also garbage and other things mixed in during the period. After all, this is not a managed and protected beach. It is inevitable. Relatively messy.But to a child, trash can be ignored, and shells on the shore are enough.The little Xu Lun flicked his sandals swiftly, and swayed his white and tender feet to step on the soft wet sand. Although the sea water in April was still a bit cool, under the dazzling sunlight, so The little bit of coldness was quickly evaporated along with the remaining seawater.

There are long strings of small footprints on the beach, and the warm sand mixed with salt grains.

In fact, the deserted beach is very boring. There are no kids of the same age running around, no vendors selling cold drinks and snacks, and no girls walking around in cool clothes, but Xu Lun just plays on the beach. Very happy, she has long been used to this kind of thing.

My father is not at home all year round, and my mother has to be busy with work. If I can’t learn to play with myself, how unbearable it would be to stay at home alone. So this is her who is only five years old. Reasons to learn the technique of sneaking out.Of course, Mom would be worried, but as long as she got home before the sun went down, she even got herself lunch in a little toy basket with two loaves of bread on a rock far away.

Obviously this beach is far away from Xu Lun's apartment, but the little girl just learned how to take the bus by herself, and then rushed here all the way under the escort of various kind-hearted passers-by.Step on the sand, catch a few hermit crabs, or find one or two beautiful shells, and put them in the basket carefully.

Dad likes the sea very much.

Xu Lun didn't know what the reason was, anyway, he was always at sea, and he couldn't go home because he was going to the sea.

So, he must really like the sea, right?

The young Xu Lun couldn't go to the sea, but at least she could play at the seaside. She always felt that if she did this, she would be closer to her father.She put the shells she collected every day into empty glass jars that were cleaned, and put them away when they were full. My mother said that there were about five cans, and my father went home.

When the time comes, treat it as a gift and give it all to him, because Dad likes the sea.

Xu Lun really wanted to find a few more shells, so that the cans could be filled faster, but the beach is so big, and there are not many good-looking and beautiful shells. She ran many times a day, and she could only find two or three shells. , the first jar didn't even arrive halfway.

If that's the case, when will Dad be able to come home?

Carefully holding up a large conch, after seeing the hermit crab waving its claws ferociously from inside, Xiao Xulun snorted depressingly, and threw it back on the beach.This happens every time I try to find a bigger one. If it's bigger, it won't fit in the can at all, which is really annoying.The little girl raised her head majestically, and swung the beach once more like a king patrolling her own territory, convinced that there were no new shells that could satisfy her.

Are you going to leave empty-handed today?

how to do it!Without hesitation, Xu Lun lifted up her skirt, stepped on the waves and ran towards the beach she had never been to before, as if she were opening up a territory.The child who was looking down seriously, walked and walked, and kicked a big one with a click.

Branches again?The little girl who raised her head stared blankly at the man lying there for a while.

It appears to be a person, a man, asleep.

The child who didn't know the so-called 'death' didn't have the slightest fear, she looked left and right, quickly ran to the side, picked up a branch, stretched it out and poked her face down, almost half of her body was submerged in the sea water Because he was worried that the other party would sleep too soundly, Xu Lun even poked his face.

"Wake up! Wake up! Sloth is up!"

When he was woken up by the glare of the sun, the cold sea water and the stinging pain on his face from time to time, the weather was going to make a few thunderballs around him, but the childish voice that kept calling from the side stopped him.

"Get up!! Big~~ slob!"

It's a child, what if I get hurt.

Although he has been unscrupulous in the past few years when he was wandering around, and it is definitely not one or two people who are unlucky in his hands, but the weather thinks that it is not cruel enough to attack innocent children.So he just let a circle of hot air evaporate the sea water on his body, although it was full of salt grains, sticky and uncomfortable, but it was better than wet.

He hates the cold touch.

Especially the coldness after each failed suicide attempt.

Weather slowly got up from the beach, turned over and sat back on the sand, staring at the ocean, river, and lake in front of him with a gloomy face. It was useless, so he finally tried the sea, and sat halfway in a boat, jumped off deep sea.

Doesn't that work in the end?

When the young man's thinking was about to fall into a deeper darkness, the clear voice of a child rang in his ears, pulling him out of his own world mercilessly.

"are you uncomfortable?"

It was not a pleasant experience to turn around and see a small face enlarged in front of him, but Tiantian just frowned, "...go away." He didn't do anything, just scolded in a low voice, and occasionally did this kind of thing , during breaks, naive kids try to say hello to him or something.Often youths just need to put on a straight face and whisper something to scare them away, and it always works.

until today.

Little Xu Lun threw away the branch with a guilty conscience, "Did it hurt you just now? But I just want to wake you up, because sleeping here will catch a cold." Feeling that it was indeed her fault, she lowered her head guiltily, "I apologize to you, please don't be angry, okay?"

What a brazen brat.

The last guy who dared to touch his face casually, maybe the grass on the grave was as tall as her?But even if he wanted to get angry, he still felt that it was too stupid to be serious with children, so he just twitched his mouth in the end, "...Go and play."

He didn't have the heart to deal with a kid who wasn't even ten years old, and he didn't even bother to use his ability for it. As a stand-in messenger, Weather thought he wasn't that out of place.

"It doesn't hurt anymore?" The little girl squatted down and looked at the man who was much taller than her only in the upper body. "It doesn't look like it. Your complexion is very bad."

How to deal with a little devil who is neither afraid of frightening nor driving away?In the weather where I had a headache due to soaking in water and lack of sleep, I feel that my head is getting heavier. After my patience is exhausted, maybe I will shoot regardless?He had lost the interest in controlling himself.When a person loses even the will to live, he doesn't pay much attention to the so-called laws and rules. The axioms and justice that he once believed in in the past have left no trace in the hollow chest of the weather.

Cleaning everything around is just troublesome.

If the other party comes to retaliate, he will welcome it very much, because the man who has failed to commit suicide many times thinks that if it is homicide, it may be effective for him.It's a pity that Weather's ability is too powerful. Even if ordinary people have weapons, it is almost impossible to defeat him.

He was aimless, only relying on the instinctive support of living beings to survive, and walked all the way here.Lacking money, he robbed some blind idiots, and sent the excess back to his hometown in the south, that 'Weiss' mother's house. If he didn't find something to do for himself, the weather thought maybe he would go completely crazy. maybe.In the extra blank time, he tried to commit suicide, and the conflict between the two different memories did not weaken with the passage of time. Every day, the memories of 'Older Weiss' continued to increase, but they were suppressed. Validation is often full of fallacies and distortions, and 'Young Weiss' is slowly being replaced.

This is a matter of course, because his 21-year-old life came to an end the moment the 'weather' woke up.

To this day, the weather has not been able to tell which one it is.

He was fed up, the world in his memory and the world he lived in were intertwined, and he couldn't distinguish the illusory from the real life, but it was impossible not to think when people existed, so Weather thought of death, but the ability of substitute made Weather Neither can really die.

As now.

And that annoying little girl was still staring at him helplessly, and the weather didn't make her flinch after staring for a long time.

"Go away." He decided to be tougher, "or I will beat you."

Xu Lun tilted his head and continued to stare at the gloomy uncle in front of him for a while. He seemed to really not want others to get close to him. Her mother said that she could not force others to accept kindness, so she stood up and patted the hem of her skirt very clearly. Without changing his face, he walked around the man lying on the beach and continued to look for her shells.Although he succeeded in driving away the annoying little devil, Xu Lun's excessive courage still left a deep impression on the weather, not to mention that she still stayed by the side, continuing to pick and choose in the sand, completely ignoring the person who just threatened to beat her up. adults.

The weather told himself not to ask too much, anyway, he also got the quietness he wanted, after all, the beach does not belong to him.

The aftereffects of falling into the sea and drifting with the waves all night are actually very serious, such as dehydration, hunger, lack of physical strength, and low-grade fever. These injuries directly affect the body, and the double cannot isolate the owner from the outside, but these alone are uncomfortable at best. It will not be fatal in any way.I just want to die, instead of throwing my body back to the beach because of the bad weather. The sun made him dizzy, and his body was sore from the constant waves. This beach is not far away from the city. The young man who was poor and white after buying the ticket planned to stay here to rest first, and then think about other issues after recovering some physical strength. With this thought in mind, Tiantian slowly closed his eyes and wanted to take a nap first.

Unfortunately, the silence lasted only half an hour.

The sound of the feet stepping on the beach moved closer and further away, wandered around for a while, and finally settled on the right side, the plastic paper rattled and shook, and the small airflow blown by the paper scraped the weather's hair , The unbearable young man frowned and opened his eyes.

"what are you doing?"

Just to his right, the little girl sitting upright on the plastic picnic cloth she prepared happily grinned at him, "Tea time! You are a guest!"

Weather swears it's the most ridiculous afternoon tea he's ever seen, whether it's cold tea in a mineral water bottle or a ham sandwich refreshment.

But he accepted it anyway.

Maybe it was because I was hungry, maybe I just hoped not to be bothered by this little girl anymore, maybe it was her fearless, pure smile.

What does it matter, a child who just met by chance, why must she cry and be afraid.

"Is it delicious?" He kept a small one and gave most of the sandwiches to the 'guests' opposite. Xu Lun asked enthusiastically about his impressions, "I made it myself!" The weather glanced at it calmly. She glanced at it, and silently swallowed the very badly cut vegetables and slices of bread into her stomach. Some of the pieces were very large, and some were almost mushy. The taste was simply terrible. As for the cold black tea in the water bottle, after drinking the first After one sip he gave up on the evaluation.

Probably for a long time, he will not want to drink any tea drinks.

Although there was no praise, but the 'guest' finished the sandwich, so as a chef, Xiao Xu Lun was very satisfied. After filling her stomach, she spread her legs like the weather, and sat in an unladylike manner. On the picnic cloth, I sipped the sweet tea with a lot of sugar in it.

"Is Uncle coming to work at the beach?" After a short silence, the little girl who couldn't hold back her words tried to talk to the weather. As the 'master', it is not good to let the tea party be cold.

"No." Looking at the plastic bottle in his hand a little troubled, the weather is hesitating whether to continue to test his stomach and tongue.

"Is that for fun?"

"No."

"That's just passing by." Answered with a child's thinking, even if the other party's attitude was cold, Xu Lun didn't mean to give up at all, "Is uncle going to sea?" Shaking her head for her perseverance and helpless weather, He unscrewed the plastic bottle cap desperately, "I just came back from the sea."

What he didn't mention was the way to get back.

"Oh, no wonder he was so tired that he fell asleep." The little guy nodded half-understanding, "Every time Dad comes back from the sea, he is also so tired that he sleeps on the sofa every day, and refuses to get up no matter how much he pushes."

"Where are you going, uncle? Is it far from the beach?"

What a great question.After taking a big mouthful of black tea that he didn't want to recall, the weather looked at the distant sea level and sneered, "...I don't know." He has nothing to do now except try to verify his memory, but his mind There are too many bits and pieces in it, and I don’t know where to find them. Every verification is completely by luck. For example, the state prison named Green Dolphin, he searched for a while before he knew it was in florida.

But there was never a man named 'Weiss Brumall' imprisoned there, nor was 'Dominique Pucci'.

In fact, this result has been vaguely expected by the weather. If he is 'Weiss Brumaler' himself, it is normal for him not to be in the prison, but the clues to verify the existence of 'Older Wess' have been cut off at this point. one.

Most ordinary people would be at a loss when they heard the answer from the weather, but children have their own wonderful logic to understand others, so Xu Lun just put on a serious face, then nodded and said her judgment, "It turns out that uncle You're lost!" No wonder you stayed on the beach and didn't go anywhere. "Don't worry, I know Lu Xulun here. I can take you to the town later, and then uncle can ask Mr. Police for help."

Knowing that it is a child's concept, it is normal even if there are incredible places, but the weather still can't help but be amused by her.

Even if he was looking for the biggest underworld boss in the area, the young man would never go to the police. Members of the judiciary would immediately pull out their guns when they saw him, because his arrest warrant had repeatedly stated that he was nicknamed 'weather' The man in question is a heinous criminal who must be shot dead immediately upon discovery.

He lacks experience in communicating with people all the year round, so he is always a man of few words. His weak laughter is as low and dull as his usual voice, and he has an old man who is probably even worse at expressing emotions than the strange uncle in front of him. Xu Lun is much more sensitive than ordinary children in detecting the attitudes of others.The little girl who heard the laughter put down the water bottle and puffed up her soft cheeks angrily, "What's so funny?"

She was serious about helping.

"Probably because... I just found out that I was lost."

"Is it strange to get lost? Everyone will have this kind of time." It turned out that this person was not kidding himself. After understanding this, Xu Lun soon stopped being angry and was able to continue chatting with the weather calmly.

"As long as they have someone to help them, they can find the way immediately, but I can only find my way by myself." Maybe it was the long-lost interest in talking, the weather did not reject the little girl's approach as much as before, and even he When speaking, I was worried that the child would not be able to hear my voice which was vaguer than ordinary people, so I specially leaned close to her cheek and let the words pass gently with my nose.

"Is no one willing to help you?" Xu Lun raised his face and looked at the stranger above in surprise. He obviously doesn't look like a bad guy?

"No one can help me." It doesn't matter whether it's all the memory of the fan, or the secret about the substitute, it's just a matter of 'weather', and no one can join him on the path of finding himself.

"Why, can I show you the way? Is it that difficult to get to the town?" The little girl wrinkled her nose without knowing why.

"Because I'm not going to the town."

"Where is that?"

"A place I don't know where I am." Weather replied softly, and he was even surprised by his too soft tone. Every time in the past, as long as he thought of those memories, those failed searches time and time again, those people who didn't know where they were Weird names, those unfamiliar faces that he has never seen before, he is always decadent and depressed, wishing to destroy everything in front of him with lightning.

His answer surprised Xu Lun for the first time, "How do you find your way?"

"...by luck, although my luck is always bad."

"That's hard work, isn't it?"

"Ah, a little bit."

"But you will definitely find it." The little girl looked at the uncle in front of her and cheered him up seriously, "Because you know that place exists."

"?"

"It doesn't matter if there is no road, and it doesn't matter if you go in the wrong direction, as long as you keep walking, you will definitely find it someday." The little child looked at the weather that was many years older than her and almost the same as his father, with a look on his face. With a solemn and serious expression, "Grandpa's grandpa told me the secret, as long as you don't give up and keep on, you will definitely reach the place you want to reach one day."

"In this world, there is no place that cannot be reached." Xu Lun's dark green eyes were wide open as if he was speaking some very remarkable truth, without blinking.

Weather unconsciously relaxed his rigid face, with a smile that he hadn't noticed, "You're right."

He shouldn't give up so quickly, maybe one day, the people, things, and things he is looking for will appear in front of him.

Humans can live for at most a hundred years, and the rest of the time will be death, so there is really no need for him to die in such a hurry.

Breaking free from the despair, the weather no longer looks as burnt out as before, and Xu Lun, who feels that he has done a good deed and helped his new uncle, is also very satisfied with his ability, so a big The two of them spent the afternoon happily on the beach, until the little girl finally remembered that she had to go home before her mother got off work.

"Well, I really have to go, Uncle, do you want to come together? Although I may not be able to help you find the way, at least I can take you to the town." After running on the beach for an afternoon, my feet were covered Silt, the little rascal whose clean little face was covered with a layer of dust, insisted on pretending to be "I am very sensible", which made the weather very eager to laugh again, but Xu Lunchao's little hand stretched out, a little There is no intention of taking it back.

So he couldn't help holding it, "Then please." Weather leaned down and whispered to the little girl.

"Leave it to me!" She replied with a smile, and she suddenly remembered that the two of them hadn't exchanged names yet, "Well, it's not easy to tell if they've only been called uncles, but there are many uncles in my family. Do you know your name?"

Although there is the existence of 'Weather', I don't know whether it is a nickname or a name, but the young man hesitates because it is also written on his arrest warrant. If an adult asks about it afterwards, it may scare her, and Weather doesn't want to What a bad memory for this lovely little girl. The name 'Weiss Brumaler' could not be used, and the name 'Dominique Pucci' did not want to be admitted, so in the end, the weather could only sigh, and put the obviously tired little girl on her own shoulder, while giving such a reply, "...I don't have a name."

He was taken aback when he was first lifted up, but he has always been very courageous and adaptable. Little Xu Lun quickly got used to the feeling of being high above him. Half hair, "So uncle, you not only lost your way, but also accidentally forgot your name?" It sounded very bad, but it really was bad luck. "Ah, that's right." After sitting on the beach for an afternoon and eating something, the weather finally regained his strength, and the child was riding on his shoulders, walking steadily across the long sandy beach. On the edge of the road, I haven't even forgotten to bring the little girl her basket.

As for her groping on the top of her head, Tian Da Da thinks that she shouldn't care about it with a child.

"Hee hee hee, it's so soft and fun!" Xu Lun probably sensed the young man's connivance, and became more unscrupulous, and even reached out and pinched her two horns that were so strange before, "Well, uncle, you are fluffy!" The one with two erect ears, I will call you Uncle Rabbit!"

"... Those aren't ears..." Tian Tian protested weakly, but the little girl who was having fun had no intention of obeying at all.

In fact, if you insist on describing it, it is probably closer to a sheep, right?However, Xu Lun, who lived in the city since she was a child, has never seen the so-called sheep, but she has seen rabbits in kindergarten, and she likes them very much.However, her mother told her that there is no way to keep rabbits at home. Little Xu Lun, who has always been thinking about this, finally met an adult who seemed not to be strict with her, so it was rare to show the domineering and rote Give the weather such a title.

She happily opened her arms and rubbed against Weather's head, "Rabbit! Rabbit! Soft Mr. Rabbit! Hehe!!"

The young man with black lines decided to give up arguing.

He didn't seem to notice it at all. From the moment they met, he acted like Xu Lun had nothing to do.

"Is it okay to wait here?" After walking along the road by the beach for about 5 minutes, the weather saw the station that Xu Lun told him. "Well, it's over there. At three o'clock, the car home will come. If Mr. Rabbit wants to enter the town, he can go with me." The sandals fell out of the cracks.

It's a pity that the weather saw the arrest warrant posted next to the duty room of the station at a glance, so he had to put Xu Lun down, and the miniature clouds formed by the water vapor gathered around the young man, and then wrapped Xu Lun up and rotated, and waited for them to disperse , Her body became clean, and the child who witnessed all this stared round, staring at the clouds floating back to the sky in a daze.

"Sorry, I can't go with you." Rubbing the little girl's thin hair, the weather wryly smiled and left such a sentence in her ear, "Goodbye..." At first he wanted to call the little guy by his name, but the young man Only then did I realize that the child hadn't told me her name from beginning to end.

She looks bold and reckless, but in fact she has been very careful to protect herself.

So the weather just stood up and walked towards the opposite direction of the station. After walking for a while, the young man turned his head and found that the little girl was still in place.

He smiled and waved to her from a distance.

It's just the first time we meet, so I don't know whether it's a good guy or a bad guy.And my father said that if she sees a magician-like person with incredible abilities, she should stay away immediately. Obviously, this 'Mr. Rabbit' is the existence she must avoid.But when she heard him say goodbye to herself, and saw him say goodbye to herself, the little girl still couldn't help but her eyes were red.

At least, at least tell him his name.

Because, if it's friends, how can you not exchange names with each other?

So Xu Lun shouted his final farewell to the weather in the distance, "Goodbye, Mr. Rabbit!! My...my name is Xu Lun! Kongtiao Xu Lun!! Next time, let's play together!!!" Then, he sniffled The little girl looked at the young man who was still standing in the distance for the last time, tried to hold back her tears, turned her head and ran towards the slowly approaching bus.

She didn't notice that the young man who was about to turn and leave turned back with a disbelieving face.

Xu Lun.

Xu Lun is empty.

With a resolute face, the girl who insisted on bringing a lifeline to her dying father even though she was bruised and bruised all over her body, was the one who brought the imprisoned 'Wes Brumaler' out of the Green Dolphin Prison, and gave him Freedom, given to the girl he fought for, the girl who was his goal.

In his fragmented memory, women occupy a huge place.

The solitary beast that wandered alone on the land of the United States for several years finally found the signpost leading to that distant land today, a young child named Kongjo Xulun.

The author has something to say:
