Richard was special, even among the elfins. What was special about it was that its original owner was still alive, and it was the person it had once loved and depended on for survival. Therefore, it was faced with a huge dilemma — should it go back? Should it go back to its original owner?
When it was captured by Zhang Zian and brought back to the pet shop, it tried to escape and go back to its original owner. When it found that it was unsuccessful, it temporarily put the idea aside — put it aside, not give up. This was the modern society that it was familiar with, and there were too many ways to send messages, such as making phone calls. As long as it found a way to make a phone call, she would definitely come all the way to find it.
But how to explain it? Its death had been recognized by modern society, so how to explain the miracle of its resurrection?
It was not Jesus, and it did not want to be the Jesus of birds. That might bring it unparalleled power of faith, and it might even reach the sky in one step, but it would also bring it as much trouble. The more time it spent with Zhang Zian, the more it fell into a dilemma.
"Richard, your future is here!"
Hearing this sentence, there was a huge roar in Richard's head, and the surging waves of emotions hit its heart.
It used to think that it was at the bottom of the food chain in this pet shop, and that it was the target of bullying. Even if it did not consider the special abilities of the cat elfins, just the fact that they were cats itself made it have a natural fear. It desperately tried to show itself, even if it was like a clown, because it did not want to be looked down upon, because it represented birds here, a unique bird. It was the boss in the laboratory, and it wanted to be the boss here.
However, it seemed that it was thinking too much. Neither Zhang Zian nor the other cat elfins looked down on it because it was the lowest level. If it was not for this serious illness, it might still be living in the illusion of self-pity.
After saying this sentence, Xinghai walked away with light steps.
"Richard, it's cold here, let's go back to the house," Sun Xiaomeng said.
They left the storage room, passed by Zhang Zian's parents' bedroom, and then Zhang Zian's bedroom. It knew that behind these closed doors, there were people who cared about it. It was not alone.
Back in the living room, it jumped down from Sun Xiaomeng's arm.
“Doctor。”
"Yes, what's wrong?" she asked.
"I want to take medicine. Give me medicine. It doesn't matter if it's very bitter," it said in a hoarse voice.
She smiled encouragingly. "Richard is so brave. The medicine will be ready soon."
"Will I be fine?"
"I will, I promise."
Sun Xiaomeng left the living room and went to the kitchen to get the medicine.
Richard lay on the table, exhausted. His mind was clear.
It had already let go of its competitive obsession. Why did it have to compete with its companions?
Some of the things that he couldn't figure out and couldn't let go of because of his obsession in the past were now dispelled like water flowing into a canal. Looking back on the past, it was actually so laughable.
There are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, illness, death, travel, separation from love, unattainable, resentment and hatred. The same goes for the life of a bird.
It had been born, grown old, sick, died, traveled, loved, begged, complained … It had experienced everything that a human and a bird could experience. Since that was the case, what else could it not let go of?
What it still couldn't let go of was probably her beautiful figure. However, it knew that it couldn't appear in front of her again, disturb her peaceful life, and cause her to fall into the controversy of academic hype. Not everyone would believe in the miracle of resurrection. Some people would question whether it was not dead at all. She hid it and carried out the first wave of hype first. After everything calmed down, she would carry out the second wave of hype. After all, the life expectancy of a grey parrot was very long. Her bumpy academic career would fall into a huge crisis.
Therefore, even for her, it couldn't appear in the past anymore.
Because it loved her, it had to leave her.
It had to let go of everything in the past. It was no longer Alex, but Richard!
All love will meet, and impermanence will not last long.
Life is full of fear, and life is at stake.
Love gives birth to worry, and love gives birth to fear.
If you leave your lover, there is no worry or fear …
Sun Xiaomeng walked to the kitchen and saw that Zhang Zian was still napping with his arms. His saliva was dripping down, and a small piece of the floor was wet. She canceled the alarm, quietly bypassed Zhang Zian, and turned off the gas stove. She used a rag as a cushion to open the pot lid, poured the black medicine into a small bowl that she had prepared in advance, and left the kitchen with the bowl.
"Richard, come and drink the medicine."
Sun Xiaomeng walked into the living room. She didn't notice the strange look on Richard's face. She put the medicine bowl in front of it.
Richard poked his head into the bowl of medicine and gulped down the sticky and bitter liquid.
Sun Xiaomeng picked up the medicine bowl and was about to leave when she heard Richard call her from behind, "Doctor."
"Yes, what's up?" She turned around and looked at it.
"Will you be here tomorrow?" It asked meaningfully. This was also the last question it had asked before it died. At that time, Irene's answer was "Yes, I will be here tomorrow." The next day, they were separated forever.
Sun Xiaomeng smiled, "No, Richard, I won't leave today."
She raised the bowl in her hand to show it, "I'll be back soon. I'm just going to wash the dishes. Have a good sleep, Richard. When you open your eyes again, I will be here. "
Richard closed his eyes peacefully and fell asleep.
When it woke up the next morning, the pain had subsided. The first thing it saw was Sun Xiaomeng, who was resting on the table. She was sleeping soundly, with a blanket covering her body. A few strands of messy hair on the edge of her forehead were moving with her even breathing.
Zhang Zian was also in the living room, lying on the sofa in his clothes, with his arms under his head. An upside-down book was lying on his stomach, and the express delivery bag was thrown on the ground. There was a woman and a grey parrot printed on the cover of the book.
"It turns out that you are not that stupid after all," Richard murmured.
The screen of Zhang Zian's mobile phone on the coffee table suddenly lit up automatically.
