"What kind of world is outside the giant wall?" The girl curiously looked at Dean: "Is there the boundless sea and the endless forest that the bards talked about?"
Dean turned back to the pavilion and found a chair to sit down. He shrugged his shoulders: "I have just been appointed as a scavenger. I haven't been outside the giant wall. But there is definitely the sea and the forest."
"How do you know?" Jenny followed him to the pavilion and sat on the chair opposite the white lacquer round table. She wondered: "Didn't you say that you haven't been outside the giant wall?"
Hearing her words, Dean's heart suddenly thought of the earth, the blue sea and the forest that he had seen. There were many beautiful scenery. All of this was gone after the global nuclear explosion. He felt sad and murmured: "I have seen it. Of course, I know."
"You have seen it?" Jenny was surprised: "Where did you see it?"
Dean came back to his senses. He knew that he had spilled the beans. "I saw it in the bards' poems. But I believe that they certainly exist. Otherwise, how could the bards know about it? It can't be fantasy, right?"
"Do you think so too?" Jenny was surprised: "I think so. But my father always said that those are fabricated by the bards. It doesn't exist in reality. Even if it exists, it will never be outside the giant wall. He also said that it is very dangerous outside the giant wall. Is that so?"
Dean thought that her father was afraid that she would be too curious and would secretly run to the giant wall to peep at the scene outside. He said: "Danger does exist."
"Is it really dangerous?" Jenny's eyes showed a bit of disappointment.
Dean saw her sad eyes. He suddenly felt that he had personally extinguished a good hope. He couldn't bear to say: "However, although there is danger, it doesn't mean that there is no sea and forest. I believe that one day the danger outside the giant wall will disappear. We will be able to go out and see the mountains and the sea. We can go wherever we want."
Jenny's face suddenly glowed: "Really?"
"Really!" Dean said in a serious tone.
Jenny's face showed a happy smile: "I think so too. I have told my father before, but he always dispelled such ideas. He said that the outside of the giant wall is an ominous place. Except for special personnel like you, other people are forbidden to enter."
Dean smiled and didn't say anything.
"I really want to go outside the giant wall!" Jenny's face was full of longing. Suddenly, she thought of something. She looked at Dean and said: "Since it is so dangerous outside the giant wall, why do you want to be a scavenger and go outside the giant wall?"
Dean thought that he would have to ask the nobles about this. However, seeing that she was still young and obviously not involved in these aristocratic politics, he said: "There is no why, perhaps like you, I want to go outside the giant wall."
Jenny looked at him with a hint of admiration on her face. "You're really amazing. We're obviously the same age, but you're much braver than me."
Dean smiled: "Because I am a boy."
Hearing this, Jenny couldn't help but blush. She secretly looked at Dean and saw that he didn't notice her shy appearance. Her heart was slightly relieved, but her heartbeat was slightly faster. She thought, how can I be alone with a boy in the garden? If my father knew about it, he would teach me a lesson.
Thinking of this, she was ready to get up and say goodbye to Dean.
Dean saw that she didn't speak for a long time. He thought he said something wrong: "Don't get me wrong. I don't mean to discriminate against women. There are many girls among us scavengers. However, I think you should listen to your father. It is really dangerous outside the giant wall. Sooner or later, you will be able to see the outside world. I believe that day won't be too late! "
With the faint moonlight, Jenny looked at the boy's serious and confident face. She couldn't help but be startled. She subconsciously said: "Really?"
"Yes!" Dean nodded affirmatively.
Jenny heard his determined words and seemed to be infected. She said: "I believe in you!"
Dean smiled and said: "I also believe in myself."
Jenny laughed. She was ready to get up and leave. After laughing, she said: "You know, my dream is to become a 'magistrate'. Although the magistrate can't go outside the giant wall, but at least I can judge all the bad people inside the giant wall. I believe that when there are no bad people in the world, we can work together and soon we can sweep away the dangers outside the giant wall."
Dean smiled and said: "Did you study the law?"
"Of course." Jenny grinned, revealing a proud expression.
Dudian laughed: "I have also studied the law."
Jenny was surprised: "You also studied the law?"
"Self-taught," Dudian added.
"Do you want to be a magistrate?"
"Well, the goal is as great as you!"
"Great? Hahaha … Yes, our goals are great! "
"How old are you this year?"
"Just reached eleven."
"I'm almost twelve."
As the night deepened, in the garden, in the pavilion, the two became more and more engrossed in their conversation. They didn't even realize that time was flying. It was as if they had endless things to talk about, from their hobbies to their age, to their views on things. They had something in common, as if they had found a confidant.
"One has no ears, the other has no tail, hahaha …" Jenny covered her stomach and laughed. She completely forgot to pay attention to her aristocratic image: "What kind of strange song is this? Such a strange tune. It's so interesting, haha …"
Dean spread out his hands: "It's a children's song."
Jenny burst into laughter again. How could there be such a weird children's song? It would scare the children. However, there seemed to be no other explanation for the strange lyrics and simple tone other than a children's song.
Dean was about to say a few more children's songs when he felt a mosquito bite on his wrist. He killed it with his backhand. He could not help but look back at the direction of the banquet hall.
Jenny saw his action and reacted. She quickly got up and said to Dean: "I have to go back. Father will be very angry if he can't find me."
Dean was also ready to go back: "You go first. I'll go back later so that we won't be seen."
Hearing this, Jenny couldn't help blushing. She turned around and ran out of the pavilion. Suddenly, she thought of something and turned back. "You just said that you've heard a lot of good poems. I also like poems. Can you give me one?"
Dudian was surprised. There was no shelter from the pavilion. The moonlight fell on the girl's cheeks. She was as beautiful as a fairy. His heart jumped and subconsciously said: "No problem." He immediately regretted it. He had heard Tang poetry. It was the classical poetry of the East. It was completely different from the poetry of this world.
Suddenly, he thought of the modern poem that his sister often read. He could only bite the bullet and softly read:
How to let you meet me
In my most beautiful moment, for this
I have been in front of God for five hundred years
Begged him to let us have an earthly relationship
Then God turned me into a tree
Growing on the side of the road that you must pass
…
Dean remembered that the poem was called "A Flowering Tree". The word "Buddha" was changed to "God". After all, the belief of the world was the Holy Church and the Father. There was no Buddhism.
