[APH Mega Bu Ying Lu Zhong] Fools' Carnival

"On the first day, God said, 'Let there be light. "

The next day, God said: "There must be air between the waters."

On the third day, God said, "Let the earth produce green grass, and plants bearing seeds, and trees bearing fruit, each according to its kind, with seeds in them."

On the fourth day, God said: "Let there be lights in the sky to divide day and night, to serve as signs, to determine festivals, days, and years, and to shine in the sky and shine on the earth."

On the fifth day, God said: "Let the water multiply and grow living things, and let birds fly above the ground and in the sky."

On the sixth day, God said: "Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds; livestock, reptiles, and wild animals, each according to its kind. Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and make them Rule over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the livestock, and the whole earth, and everything that crawls on it.”

On the seventh day, God's work of creation had been completed, so he rested from all his work on the seventh day. "--"Genesis"

"God spent seven days creating the world, and then took a year to destroy it." Alfred declared solemnly, "It doesn't make sense, it's obviously harder to create than destroy." Matthew handed him a kitchen knife: "Yes, yes, now please go and destroy that plate of tomatoes." Alfred was pushed to the chopping board to cut vegetables, the freshly picked tomatoes, green and organic vegetables, looked different from those in the supermarket before , first of all, the color is not completely red, some are still yellow and green when they are ripe, and secondly, the size is different. The giant tomato has a small cherry tomato on its head. Is this really grown on the same tree?Plus, they smelled so good it made Alfred salivate.He raised the kitchen knife and made a cross on each tomato.

Gilbert organized everyone to help him prepare winter food reserves, and the first thing to do was tomato sauce.Tomatoes are indispensable for three meals a day. They are used in soups, salads, side dishes, condiments, etc., and their sales in the market are also very good.Matthew boiled a pot of hot water, and Gilbert put the chopped tomatoes down to scald them and quickly scooped them up to cool, so they were easy to peel.The peeled and bare tomatoes lay hopelessly on the bottom of the pot and were smashed to pieces by a spoon. They merged with the hot water. Gilbert divided them into several pots according to their sweetness, and added different proportions of sugar to each pot.

Honda Chrysanthemum helped them watch the pot. Although Gilbert said that it was okay to leave it alone, he was worried about observing the situation in the pot, but Gilbert said that the lid of the pot should not be opened all the time, otherwise the tomatoes would not be in the shape of sauce.By the time the water has evaporated by half, the ketchup is almost done and they can make burgers for lunch today.Francis was milking goats in the backyard. Although Gilbert taught him the essentials, he still said to Arthur in a horrible way: "Brother, this is the first time I have touched a sheep's udder..." Arthur kicked him: "You talk a lot!"

Feliciano, the son of an Italian restaurant, was clumsily peeling potatoes. Honda Kiku was taken aback by his movements and the sharpness of the blade.Ludwig piled the garbage outside the gate and burned it. Gilbert said with a smile: "It's good to have Axi here, and there is no need to waste fuel." Ivan was chopping firewood in the warehouse, and his painting hands held There is no sense of disobedience when it comes to an axe.

After a while, Antonio came to them with a truckload of organic fertilizers: "Keir, come to move the fertilizers! Come and see who this is!" Following Antonio was actually Wang Yao in casual clothes.Wang Yao took off his hat and greeted them: "Good morning, I didn't disturb you, did I?"

Wang Yao came to ask to join the "Fool's Carnival", and the team members approved it unanimously.He gave everyone a high-five: "Meet the partners again." In this way, there are six people in the team, and there is no room for one car, but Wang Yao said that he can find a way to get another one, By then they would have two cars, and the youth cheered.Wang Yao stayed and ate their carefully prepared lunch. In the afternoon when he was slightly drunk, Gilbert took Ludwig to move a recliner and take a nap under the eaves. He advised everyone not to be too busy—"You should relax once in a while." ".Feliciano raised his hands in favor.Honda Chrysanthemum stacked up a dozen cans of ketchup they had made and watched with joy.

Unexpectedly, Gilbert actually treasured a small TV that can play videotapes here. Alfred lowered the curtains, Arthur and Francis sat cross-legged on the sofa, and Ivan moved a stool for Wang Yao. Several young people watched Disney's "Cinderella" and "Mermaid" with relish all afternoon.When the deep sea witch appeared on the stage, Alfred was so frightened that he bit his finger.

Alfred lay down, closed his eyes and said: "I am Snow White, who will kiss me awake?" Someone pushed Matthew, who fell on Alfred's stomach and almost hit Alfred. Have to vomit blood.Everyone laughed.

A pleasant day off.

In the evening, Wang Yao cleared the table, laid out a map of the United States and asked others where they wanted to go.Alfred pointed to Seattle in the northwest: "We plan to settle here." Wang Yao thought: "Seattle is also good, I heard that there is a big project going on there, they seem to want to repair the railway. If it is true It would be great if it can be opened to traffic. If you start from Los Angeles, after crossing the United States, you will cross this continent and approach Canada. Do Chinese people have a burning soul of the road?" He half-jokingly said, and the others looked proud.Matthew suddenly remembered: "By the way, teacher, do you know where there is a plane?"

"Airplanes? There should be ones in the garrison area. But military planes are definitely not something that can be borrowed. Why do you still want to cross the Pacific Ocean?" "Well, does the Alien Association have them? If someone needs to use the plane anyway..."" The Alien Association is not good either. Our US branch has no more than ten planes, each of which plays an indispensable role. If you must use a plane, you can only find a private one. It’s one thing not to borrow, but it’s another thing to be able to reach the destination smoothly. Today’s pilots are more dangerous than before, and the ground command is not as precise as in the past, and one mistake may not be able to return.”

"That's it..." Perhaps Matthew's disappointment was too obvious, and Wang Yao added: "Although I don't know why you ask this, there are several cities by the sea that keep abandoned planes, and maybe they can be used if they are repaired." ” Matthew nodded, and Francis involuntarily glanced at Honda Chrysanthemum who was peeling beans outside the window.Ivan explained aloud: "In fact, there is a Japanese here. He is trapped in the United States. He wants to go back by plane."

Wang Yao followed Francis' eyes calmly, and for some reason revealed a sense of sadness: "I understand, I will talk to him."

Later, Matthew couldn't help thinking that Wang Yao was originally a Chinese. He put in so much effort and enthusiasm to get Honda Ju to return to China. Why didn't he go back by himself?In the end, Wang Yao gave the answer that he has lived in the United States for half a century. For his soul, his hometown has been lost with the flood of time. Unless he is turned into ashes, he can no longer set foot on that land.He had dedicated all his blood to her as early as the last century.

The time for departure was set very tight, and in the afternoon of tomorrow, everyone would move to pack their things.At this time, Gilbert looked like a mother-in-law. He kept asking Ludwig if he wanted to bring this and that, and frantically stuffed things into their trunks until the useless things were taken away by Ludwig. Clean it up in one go.Honda Kiku tied up her apron, tied a white turban on her head, commanded with perseverance, and determined to help Gilbert clean up before leaving.Alfred sneaked in and took a maiden photo of every corner of the Beshmeek farm. The chicks were scared by the flash and ran around.

Matthew said that he wanted to go back to the city alone and have a good time sightseeing, so Wang Yao agreed to take him on a motorcycle——Antonio also brought his motorcycle to the farm, which was supposed to be given to Gilbert.Alfred was very dissatisfied with being left alone, but Matthew said that he would rub his back when he came back, so Matthew put on his helmet and left with Wang Yao.Wang Yao also had to go back to say goodbye to his acquaintances one by one, and then he would definitely receive a bunch of outrageous farewell gifts, such as a car.

Speaking of riding a motorcycle, Matthew never thought it was a Harley motorcycle.After driving at extreme speed for half an hour, he let go of the hand holding Wang Yao, rolled out of the car and vomited.Wang Yao took off his helmet and showed a smiling face: "Are you okay? Don't become transparent. I've tried my best to slow down. This car won't move if it slows down." Matthew thought while vomiting: Is this man a devil... …

After saying goodbye to Wang Yao, Matthew started walking with Alfred's camera in his hand.The area of ​​New Los Angeles has shrunk significantly compared to that of Old Los Angeles. If you want to walk, you can still walk the entire area.Street graffiti with the theme of disaster and redemption, disabled people sitting at the entrance of the hospital drying their stumps, children chasing and playing in the ruins of reinforced concrete, skinny women feeding wild cats, statues of Christ with dazzling lamps and statues of Buddha with incense The shrines were put together, and he took pictures of all the scenery that inspired him, as well as the most intoxicating night in the city.He walked all the way touching the broken walls with pictures of the Passion of Christ, as if walking through the corridor leading to heaven.

There was an observation deck on the hill, and Matthew climbed to the top with anticipation, and he had a panoramic view of Los Angeles.The cold wind blew up his unbuttoned light yellow woolen sweater. At [-] o'clock, Los Angeles was instantly lit up. The lights were like waking stars. The black buildings shone with mysterious light from time to time. The backs of running in the light are extremely vivid, and the flying white birds are like boats stationed in the sea of ​​stars.Matthew turned on the recording function and directly recorded the scene of Los Angeles in the dark night.

As a result of being so focused on shooting, Matthew didn't notice someone coming behind him at all.A somewhat familiar female voice suddenly sounded: "Matthew? No, sorry, did I disturb you?"

Matthew turned his head in disbelief, and saw her shining under the streetlight.Meg, with treacle-coloured curly hair hanging down, stood in nothing but a white petticoat and flip-flops, looking at Matthew sheepishly with a bag in her hand.Matthew suddenly panicked for some reason: "What's the matter? You are Meg, I remember you. Why are you here? I'm just here to take pictures..." Meg seemed to be amused by Matthew's panic, Suddenly he relaxed: "Yes, I am Meg. This is my secret base, and I will come here to relax every time I am troubled."

Matthew was really not good at getting along with girls, so he had nothing to say immediately, but it was Meg who broke the deadlock first: "Can I see your photo?" She pointed to the camera that Matthew set aside, and Ma Xiu then gave it to her.Meg was just looking at it casually, but she didn't expect to be addicted to it soon. She was amazed while watching: "My God, you took such a beautiful picture. Is this really the Los Angeles I know?" Matthew felt his tongue I couldn't straighten it out: "I used to work in the photography department."

"You went to college?" Alfred took a profile photo of Matthew in the car that day, and Matthew explained: "It was taken by my brother."

"Well, there are some other photos. I can more or less feel that they are not photos of the same person." Matthew took a long breath, and couldn't help thinking that Francis was right. Women's compliments make men excited, and he What a fool.Meg raised the bag in her hand and asked Matthew: "Do you want to eat this? I made it myself." When I opened it, it turned out to be a syrup muffin that had been cut. It looked quite delicious, but it was actually delicious. .Meg watched Matthew eat a muffin and squinted her eyes with a smile: "I thought boys didn't like desserts."

"Maybe, but I like it," Matthew said.Meg's face was flushed, her eyes were very bright, and the petticoat and slippers made her ashamed, for she was not dressed up to-night.Matthew felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange: "...Meg?" Meg smoothed the goosebumps on her arms and shook her head vigorously: "I'm fine, just a little... cold."

Matthew immediately took off his woolen sweater to put on Meg, but Meg stood up and escaped like a fire.Matthew and Meg looked at each other, Meg looked like she was going to cry, Matthew was stunned, and a voice scolded him in his head: idiot.You are a fool!Matthew thought it was absurd at first, but then Meg's gaze forced him to become serious.What, in the end he was just like Alfred, not caring at all.Clothes are dropped on the ground and no one picks them up, like a relationship that has been put on hold forever.

Just as Matthew was about to speak, Meg interrupted: "Does Matthew have someone he likes?" Matthew shook his head.Meg smiled beautifully: "Thank you." In my life.Matthew is ashamed because he is not such a nice person: "I'm sorry, I said before that I'm not from Los Angeles, I'm leaving tomorrow..." Meg crossed her arms: "It's okay, I know, but the result is the same Yes, nothing to regret."

How did things become like this?Matthew had a terrible headache.Meg forced a smile: "Love at first sight is such a silly thing, I hope Matthew can find someone like that." She boldly took a step forward and hugged Matthew, who froze and remained motionless .She said in Matthew's ear, "Would you like to kiss me?" She let go of Matthew, stood there and closed her eyes shyly.

Matthew's palms were sweaty, and he knew he had to act.He had no time to think why things had come to this, and he took Meg's face in his hands, and kissed her on the cheek.Meg laughed on the spot, and wept tears of joy covering her kissed face.She hugged Matthew again: "Thank you, I like you. You have a safe journey." Matthew gently hugged her back, smelling the fragrance of her hair: "Thank you, I will."

Under the watchful eyes of "City of Angels", the lights made the shadows of the two people very long.

The children in the orphanage went to bed early, and when Wang Yao returned to the clinic, they were all sound asleep.Wang Yao walked from one end to the other with a smile, and observed their sleeping faces one by one. Some were motionless, some were drooling and snoring, some were rolling around, and some were talking in sleep, but they were all cute. , full of exuberant vitality, their next life should also be like the sun, illuminating the gloomy end times.Wang Yao's breath inadvertently awakened a sensitive child. It was a Chinese child from Hong Kong named Wang Jialong. Yao is the only yellow race.

Wang Jialong sat up from the bed, Wang Yao walked over and hugged him in his arms, carried him out of the room and sat on the chair outside.Wang Jialong narrowed his eyes for a while, then climbed down maturely and sat on the chair next to him. He asked, "Is the teacher leaving?"

"I'm leaving." Wang Yao didn't lie to the child, "Do you want to talk to me?" He treats the child in a serious way as an adult, because it makes the child feel respected, and eventually he can learn to look at problems rationally.Wang Jialong's two legs were dangling in mid-air: "You will all go, no one will stay together forever." The voice of a child and the tone of an adult made Wang Yao sad.

"That's right. Everyone is born alone, and finally leaves alone. When growing up and getting old, everyone separates and reunites. There are happy things and sad things. But no matter what they are, they Will stay in our minds, this may be a good thing or it may bring pain, but if you once liked someone or something, you can't forget him, because like this kind of feeling is indispensable. If you want to never Love is the same as the choice of light, love is more worthy of choice, after all, as long as there is love, light will follow."

"Even if that love makes me feel very painful?" Little Wang Jialong choked up.This little child, crossing the ocean and leaving his hometown, lost everything before he got it, and lost his courage before he grew up. He needs light, just like a moth blindly catching a fire, and he might blind himself a little bit.Wang Yao hugged him with one hand: "It's not love that hurts but separation. When a tree is cut down, the ax is separation, and the new shoots that grow on the stump are love."

"Isn't love companionship?" "That's just a part of love. Love is missing after giving up companionship, love is forgiven after being betrayed, love is able to live well after separation, love has many appearances, but Its final result is always redemption." "Redemption?" Wang Jialong repeated this remote word bluntly.

"Salvation is a very special thing. It may not make people happy, but it is the meaning of life. Without it, people live like drowning, sinking at the bottom of the pond, feeling nothing." "Teacher now , Do you feel redeemed?" Wang Jialong said ramblingly, probably he didn't understand what question he asked.Wang Yao answered very seriously: "Helping you is my salvation, the meaning of my life."

Wang Jialong twisted his waist and hugged Wang Yao: "Teacher, I love you." Wang Yao hugged him back: "I love you too, Jialong, so you should be well when I'm not around. If you want to grow up, you have to Like the tree stump that has sprouted. When it is time to go, we will all walk on the same road to the same end, where we will all meet." Wang Jialong sobbed softly.

However, Wang Yao knew that what he just said was actually unfair to himself.Having the memory of the previous life means that in this life, he is many people at the same time, and at the same time maintains the love for many people. The boundary of the memory is blurred. Sometimes he forgets who he is now, and sometimes he feels sorry for the person a hundred years ago. Sad that he won't be on that road to return, that his soul will one day be resurrected in another innocent, like the dozen or so who lodged in him.He cannot live for himself, because he is too much of an individual, and the only ones who can lead him are the lost lambs who need to be led.

Wang Yao hugged Wang Jialong again, tightly.While patting the child's back, he felt the flow of hot tears.

The consequence of re-boarding the journey was that he couldn't take a shower for a long time. Taking advantage of the last chance, everyone took a good shower. Alfred stayed until the end, and waited for Matthew to come back to help him rub his back.The bathroom that Gilbert remodeled from a workshop was very simple, just a bucket of cold water, a bench and a basin, and at most two towels.But the floor here is very clean, not even a trace of moss, the frosted glass on the wall has strange patterns, and the floor tiles are like the bottom of a swimming pool, and the sparkling blue is pleasing to the eye.

Both Alfred and Matthew were not afraid of the cold, and poured cold water directly on their bodies. Alfred turned his back to Matthew, and his "wings" stretched out in front of Matthew's eyes.The redness has receded, and the black wings are more vivid. No matter how many times he looks at it, Matthew finds it so beautiful that he can't help reaching out to touch it.

"My wings are going to be bald." Alfred joked, but Matthew put his hands away seriously and began to rub his back seriously.He said: "It would be great if I could really fly, but even if I am a foreigner, I have never heard of the real Icarus." Alfred shrugged: "Who knows, I think our abilities are quite honest Yes, how can there be such a powerful force? If there is, then there is nothing wrong with Marvel." Matthew smiled, noncommittal.

"Did you take any good photos this time?" "Of course, I'll show you later." "Fortunately, you took good care of it, otherwise it will be with your Polaroid." Matthew Middle School During the period, I saved up money to buy a Polaroid to join the photography club, but lost it during the outdoor training camp.Matthew got a little angry, and brushed Alfred's back with a brush, and he let out a "wow".

When it comes to photos, Matthew can't stop thinking of Meg. I have to say that today is amazing. For the first time in his life, he was confessed and refused. He is not only a fool, but also a bastard. After all, Meg Where did Greg see him?Matthew's eyes were blurred, his cheeks were hot, and he noticed that Alfred waved his hands in displeasure in front of his eyes when he was distracted: "Hey, what are you thinking about?"

"It's not that... Alfred, why do you think girls liked you before?" "Because I'm handsome?" Alfred thought about it seriously.Matthew pushed him: "You better shut up."

"What's wrong with being so angry?" Matthew was really angry, and even wanted to pull Alfred's face: "I'm fine, don't ask."

"You don't look like you're okay." Alfred persisted, "Did you meet someone?" Matthew stopped rubbing his back, and Alfred opened and closed his mouth, as if to say something He didn't hear the words clearly, because his eyes suddenly went dark, and then he couldn't remember anything.
