The lion walked up and down the open land, singing songs that no one had ever heard.The song was softer and softer than the previous song that evoked the stars and the sun, like a piece of music as warm as a trickle of water.As the lion walked and sang, green grass grew in the valley, spread like water around it, and climbed up the hill like waves.In a short time, the slopes of the mountains in the distance were covered with grass.The young world is getting more beautiful every moment, and the breeze gently blows the grass.In addition to the meadow, soon something else appeared.Dull heather grows on the high slopes, and patches of shaggy uneven green appear in the valleys.It was a small, long, pointed thing with dozens of branches growing out of its body, covered in green objects, and growing in size at a rate of one inch every two seconds.Now, he has something like this all around him.At first Dugray didn't know what it was, until one of them grew close to him, and grew to a height similar to his, that he suddenly cried out, "Ah, it's a tree," but, disappointingly, as Polly said later, you can't enjoy it all quietly at this point.At the same time that Diggray said "tree", Uncle Andrew sneaked up to him and tried to steal his ring, which forced him to run to the other side.However, even if Uncle Andrew stole it, it would not be of much use, because he always thought that it was the Green Ring who was responsible for the return, so he aimed at the right pocket.Of course, Dugray didn't want him to get his wish."
Stop," cried the witch, "go back, and if anyone walks ten paces away from any of these two children, I will smash his head." ”She wielded the iron rod that had been twisted from the lamppost, intending to throw it at any moment.Either way, everyone believed that she would throw it accurately."
Well, you want to leave me here and sneak back to your world with this boy," she yelled at Uncle Andrew, angrily.Uncle Andrew finally stopped being afraid of her, and he couldn't help but start a fire."
Yes, ma'am," he said, "needless to ask, I just want to do it."
It is my right because you have brought me great humiliation and made me to be treated in the lowest possible way.I have done my best to honor you and please you, but what have I received that you have robbed, yes, I will repeat these two words, robbed the venerable jeweler.You still have to ask me to entertain you with the most expensive lunch, needless to say, the most extravagant.And so I have to take away my watch and bracelet to tell you, ma'am, no one in our family has the habit of frequenting the pawnshop except my cousin Edward, who has joined the Volunteers just for that indigestible lunch.Thinking about it now, I feel even more uncomfortable.Your words and actions harassed everyone present.I felt so humiliated in public that I would never have the face to go to that restaurant again.In addition, you attacked the police and stole "Sir, don't say it, please don't say it again."
Listen and see what's happening before you, and stop talking. ”The coachman said.There are so many things to see and hear.The tree that Dugray had just seen had now grown into a beech with a thick trunk whose branches stretched gracefully above his head.The crisp green meadow where they stood was already dotted with plants such as daisies and buttercups.In the distance, willow trees grow along the river.On the other side of the river, there are many tea leaves, lilacs, wild roses and rhododendrons.And the horse was munching on fresh grass.The lion has been singing all this time, solemnly moving back and forth, left and right.Surprisingly, it gets closer to them every time it turns.At this point, Polly found the singing more and more interesting, because by this time she felt that she had seen the connection between the music and what was happening in front of her.When a row of dark green fir trees appeared on the ridge about a hundred meters away, she felt that it was closely related to the low, long sound that the lion had sung a second before.Similarly, when the lion sings a cheerful set of melodies, she sees primroses growing in all directions.In a burst of excitement that cannot be described in words, she affirmed that everything came out of the lion's head, in her words.When you listen to its songs, you hear what it has created, and when you look around, you can see them.It was so exciting, she didn't have time to be scared.But every time the lion turned and drew closer and closer to them, Dugray and the coachman could not help but be a little nervous, while Uncle Andrew had his teeth trembling and his legs shaking, and he could not run away at all.Suddenly, the witch boldly rushed towards the lion.The lion was still walking calmly and singing.When she was only a dozen paces away from the lion, she raised her arm and threw the iron rod straight at its head.At such a close distance, no ordinary person would miss, let alone Janetis.The iron rod landed right between the lion's eyes, and then, out of nowhere, it swept past and landed on the grass with a thud.The lion's pace neither slowed nor accelerated, and it is difficult to say whether it knew that it had been hit.Even though its soft claws don't make a sound, you can feel the ground tremble beneath its feet.The witch screamed and fled, and soon disappeared into the woods.Uncle Andrew also tried to follow, but when he turned around, he tripped over a stump and fell face down in a stream that flowed into a large river.Children are overwhelmed, and they are not even sure if they want to run.And the lion did not notice them at all.It didn't roar, it just sang with its blood-red mouth wide open.They could even touch its fur as it walked past them.The two children were terrified that it would turn around and look at itself.But strangely, at the same time, they want it to turn around.At the moment, they seemed to be something it couldn't see or smell, and it didn't attract its attention at all.It took a few steps past them, then turned back and turned east, brushing them by for the second time.Uncle Andrew got up, coughed and spat and said, "We've finally gotten rid of the woman, and the lion is gone, Dugray, reach over and put on the ring and get out of here." ”Dugray said and took a few steps back away from him, "Polly, come to me and stay away from him."
Uncle Andrew, I warn you now, don't come too close, or we'll get out of here at once. ”"Son, do as I say.You're a very bad kid, you're so naughty. ”Uncle Andrew said."
No," said Diggray, "we're going to stay here and see what happens."
Originally, I thought you wanted to learn about other worlds.Now that we're here, don't you like this place?"
"Yes," exclaimed Uncle Andrew, "Look at what I've been reduced to, this is my best coat and vest," and of course, he did look very embarrassed now.If you're dressed up at first, but after getting out of a crashed wagon and falling into a stream, it won't look good."
I'm not saying this place isn't interesting."
He continued, "If I had been younger, I might have found an energetic young man to come here now, and found a hunter who specializes in big animals."
There are some good aspects of this place to take advantage of.I've never felt such pleasant air before.If the conditions are more favorable, if we have a gun, I believe it will be beneficial to me. ”"The gun is useless," said the coachman, "and I think I'll have to go and see if it's time to groom the strawberries."
That horse is more spiritual than some. ”With the kind of boo characteristic of the coachman, he walked over to "Strawberry"."
That lion doesn't care about that iron rod at all, do you think a gun can kill it," said Diggray."
It's all her fault," said Uncle Andrew, "the reckless woman, she's so rude, my child." ”He clenched his knuckles, as if he had forgotten how scared he had been around the witch."
It's so disgusting that she did this, and the lion hurt her," Polly said."
Look what it is," said Diggray, and went to inspect something a few paces away from him."
I said, Polly, come and have a look."
He shouted backwards.Uncle Andrew followed, not out of curiosity, but because he had to follow the children closely if he wanted to steal the ring.But when he saw what Degree was looking at, he also began to become interested.It was a delicate and perfect model of a lamppost.While they're looking, it's getting taller and bigger in proportional harmony.In fact, it is like a tree that survives and grows."
It's alive.I mean, it's on. ”Diggray said.Unless you cover it out, though, the faint light from the lamp is barely visible in the sun."
It's incredible," muttered Uncle Andrew, "I would never have dreamed of such magic.Everything in this world, even a lamppost, is living and can grow.But what makes me wonder is what the seed of this lamppost is" "You haven't reacted yet," said Diggray, "and this is where the witch fell from the iron rod that she twisted from the lamppost in front of our house."
When it fell into the dirt, it grew into a small lamppost. ”But it wasn't small at the moment, and by the time Dugray said this, the lamppost was as tall as he was."
Yes, it's incredible," Uncle Andrew pinched his fingers harder than he had just done, "oh oh my foolish sister thinks I'm a madman, and they laugh at my magic.Let's see what else they can say this time.I discovered a world where anything could grow.What are they talking about now about Columbus and the Americas, how can they compare to here, the commercial value of this world is immeasurable.Take some old steel bars and bury them here, and you'll have a brand new locomotive or a warship, or anything you want, and it won't cost anything.So I can sell them for a high price in the UK and I'll be a millionaire.And the weather here I suddenly felt as if I was twenty years younger, and I could open a health resort here, and if the business was good, I could make twenty thousand pounds a year.But I'm only going to let a very small number of people know the secret.But we have to kill the beast first. ”"You're like a witch, your mind is full of killing."
Polly said.However, Uncle Andrew still had his sweet dreams: "Then, talk about myself.If I can settle here, who knows how long I will live, for a man in his sixties, this is a top priority to consider.I'm never going to grow old here."
Oh, young land Uncle Andrew, do you think that's really the case here," Dugray shouted.Of course, he remembered the conversation between Aunt Letty and the woman who gave the wine.A good wish flashed through his mind."
Do you think there's anything here that can cure your mother's illness, Uncle Andrew," he said."
I don't know what you're talking about, this is not a pharmacy.But like I said," said Uncle Andrew."
You didn't care about her at all, I thought you would.She is, after all, my mother, your sister.But that's okay, I'll ask the lion and see if it can help me. ”Digray angrily said this, then turned around and walked away without looking back.Polly hesitated and followed."
Hey, it's crazy to come back and stop this kid."
Uncle Andrew said.He followed the children, carefully keeping a distance from them.Because he didn't want to be near either the lion or the green ring.A few minutes later, Digray stopped at the edge of the woods.The lion was still singing, but the song had changed again.This time, the singing is more similar to what we call "pitch", but still wild and uninhibited, making you want to jump, want to run, want to climb, want to shout, want to rush up and hug people or fight them.Digray's face turned red as he listened.Uncle Andrew also seems to have been influenced by this singing, for Dugray heard him say, "A lively girl, dude."
Her temper is regrettable, but overall, she is a beautiful woman. ”But the impact of singing on these two men is simply not comparable to the impact it has had on the land.Can you imagine a meadow boiling like water in a jug, and this is the best way to describe what is happening at the moment.The surrounding meadows swelled into a number of small hills of various sizes, some the size of a mole, others the size of a wheelbarrow, and two of them the size of a small shack.The hills moved and swelled until the dirt splattered and broke, and an animal emerged from each hill.The mole looks exactly like what you see in England.The dog struggled as if it had slipped through the narrow slit of the fence, and as soon as it stuck its head out, it began to bark.The bucks are the most interesting because their horns come out before the others, so at first Digray thought it was a tree.When the frog came out of the riverbank, it croaked and jumped into the river.Animals such as leopards and panthers immediately sit down, shake off the loose dirt on their hind legs, and then stand up and grind their front paws on the trees.Bursts of birdsong could be heard in the forest.The bees didn't want to delay for even a second and began to work on the flowers.But the most spectacular moment was when the largest round mound cracked like a mild earthquake, and from inside rose a sloping elephant's back, a large intelligent head, and four elephant legs that looked like they were wearing baggy trousers.At this moment, you can barely hear the lion's song, all around you are cows barking, horses neighing, dogs barking, birdsong Dugray can't hear the lion's song, but he can still see it.Its tall, bright body caught his gaze tightly.It seems that other animals are not afraid of it either.At this moment he heard the sound of horses' hoofs, and it was the old horse pulling the cart, trotting past him, and standing with the other animals, and the air here was suitable not only for Uncle Andrew, but also for the old horse, who no longer looked like the poor old slave in the streets of London, and was now raising its legs and holding its head high.The lion fell silent for the first time.It walks back and forth among the animals, and from time to time it walks up to two of them, always two at a time, touching their noses with its nose: two leopards from the leopard herd, a male and a female from the deer, and the other animals aside.For some kinds of animals, it is just passing by; But the animals it touched followed it in pairs, leaving their group.Finally, the lion stopped, and the animal it had picked out came over and enclosed it in a circle.The animals it hadn't touched began to roar and scatter in all directions, and the cries faded into the sky.The animals it had chosen stood silently, their eyes fixed on the lions.Occasionally, the feline animal will wag its tail, and the rest of the animals will all stand honestly and unmoving.That day, for the first time, there was such silence, and all I could hear was the sound of running water.Degree's heart was beating violently, and he knew that something sacred was about to happen.By this time, he had forgotten about his mother.But he also knew very well that even if it was for her, he couldn't disturb the big things happening at this time.The lion, who never blinked, looked at the animals with his piercing gaze.Slowly, the animals changed.Rabbits, dormice, and similar critters are much larger.Huge animals, such as elephants, are smaller, as can be seen from it.Many animals sit on their hind legs, most of them with their heads down, as if trying to understand something.The lion's mouth was open, and he didn't make a sound.At this point, its long, warm breath can sweep all the animals away, like the wind blowing a row of trees.In the distant sky, the stars hidden behind the blue sky began to sing again.It was pure, cold, and incomprehensible music.Then, a ray of light shines from the sky or from the lion.Every drop of blood boiled in the children's bodies, and a low, rugged voice that had never been heard before said, "Narnia, Narnia, wake up."
To love, to think, to speak.Let the trees walk, let the animals talk, and the sacred water. ”t1706231537:
