Just as the two girls were crouching in the bushes and crying sadly, the witch's cry came: "Okay, now, all the people are with me, we are going to clean up the rest of the fellows, since this stupid fellow in front of us, this pathetic big cat is dead, then we can quickly defeat those waste and traitors" Next, the two sisters went through a dangerous time, and they could hear a series of crazy shouts, and the shrill bagpipes and horns mingled, The ferocious mob swarmed down from the top of the hill, and just past where they were hiding, and they felt the ghost pass by like a gust of wind, and the ground trembled with the sound of the trooping hooves of the minotaur, and the fierce birds above their heads waved their wings to carry a gust of fishy wind, and the whole black area was filled with vultures and huge bats.If this had happened at any other time, they would have panicked and trembled, but now, Aslan had died suddenly, and their minds were filled with indescribable sorrow, anger, and terror, and they did not feel fear at all.As soon as the woods became quiet, Susan and Lucy hurried to the top of the hill, which was already empty.Although the moon was about to set at this time, and it was still hidden by clouds, they could still see the lion king's body tightly tied to the stone table.The two of them knelt down on the wet grass, kissed its cold face, stroked its beautiful mane, and wept bitterly until it could no longer cry.When they looked at each other, they both felt a sense of desolation, so they couldn't help but hold hands and cry again, crying and crying, and then they were quiet again.Finally Lucy said, "I can't stand that horrible muzzle anymore, can we take it off its head," and they began to try to remove the muzzle.Their fingers were cold and stiff after a long time, and now it was the darkest time of the night, so they finally removed it.When the girls saw that it no longer had a muzzle on its face, they couldn't help but cry again, hugged it in pain and kissed and stroked, and tried their best to wipe the blood off its face, this miserable, desperate, heartbroken scene is indescribable."
I don't know if we can untie the rope from it."
After a while, Susan said.However, out of fear and hatred, the enemy tied the rope so tightly that the two girls could not untie the dead knots.I hope that all of you who have read this book will not be as sad as Lucy and Susan that night, but if you have ever been sad like this, if you have stayed up all night and cried until you can no longer shed a single tear, you will know that later on, your mood will be very calm, and you will suddenly feel that nothing worse will happen again.Anyway, that's how the two girls felt at the time.They seemed to spend hours in this near-numbing calm, not noticing that their bodies were getting colder, but then, Lucy finally noticed two things.The first thing is that the sky on the east side of Xiaoshan is slowly starting to lighten; The second thing was that there seemed to be some slight movement on the grass at her feet.At first, she didn't bother to pay attention to this, so what's the big deal, now it doesn't matter how she feels.But then she realized that something she didn't know what it was was starting to crawl down the straight legs onto the stone table, and that it was starting to crawl around Aslan's body.She leaned forward to take a closer look, and it turned out to be some gray little mice."
Hey," Susan said, standing across from the stone table, dissatisfied, "I hate that these little mice have crawled on top of it."
Get out of here, you pesky little brutes" she raised her hand to chase them away."
Wait a minute," Lucy was still watching them closely, "can't you see what they're doing" Both girls bent down and stared at them intently."
It's true, I believe it," said Susan, "it's strange that they're biting through the ropes." ”"I think so," said Lucy, "I think they're very friendly little mice."
These poor little things, they didn't know Aslan was dead, they thought they would get back on their feet when they untied the rope. ”At this time, the sky slowly began to brighten, and the two girls realized that each other's faces were so pale, and they saw not only dozens, but maybe even hundreds, of the little mice, all biting the ropes one by one, and finally, all the ropes were bitten by them.At this moment, the eastern sky had turned white, the stars were slowly disappearing, only one large star was still twinkling on the horizon, and the little mice had crawled away, and they began to feel that it was colder than the night.The sisters cleaned up everything like the bitten rope.With the ropes gone, Aslan is just as good as he was yesterday.As the sky grew brighter and they saw more clearly, its lifeless face looked more noble.In the woods behind them, a bird chirped and startled them, for there had been no movement for hours.Immediately after, another bird followed suit, and soon the whole forest was filled with the crisp call of birds.It's early morning instead of night."
I'm so cold."
Lucy said."
Me too."
Susan said, "Let's just go for a walk." ”They walked to the east side of the hill, stood on the top of the hill and looked down, the bright star was blurred, and the whole field looked dark gray, except for the outside of the field, where the sea on the edge of the sky was gray.The eastern sky began to turn red.They walked back and forth between the dead lion king and the ridge to the east for an unknown number of times, and their poor legs could barely lift themselves to get warmer.So, they stopped and stood for a while, looking out at the sea and the castle of Kelpalavill in the distance, and only then did they see the outline of the castle, and on the horizon where the sea and the sky met, the red sky was slowly turning golden yellow, and the sun was rising in the east.At this moment, they suddenly heard a loud noise behind them, and it was so loud that it was almost deafening, as if a giant had cracked the armor on his body."
What's that sound," Lucy grabbed Susan's arm nervously."
I don't dare look back."
Susan was also terrified, "Something terrible must have happened." ”"They've done something bad to it," Lucy shouted, "hurry," she pulled Susan around.When the sun rose, the scenery looked very different from the night, and all the colors, shadows, and so on became very different, so for a moment they did not see anything extraordinary.Later, they realized that the stone table had broken in two with a loud bang, and Aslan had disappeared "Oh, oh" Susan and Lucy cried and ran towards the stone table."
Oh, that's too bad," said Lucy, crying, "they should have left the corpses behind." ”"Who did this," exclaimed Susan, "what the hell does this mean, is it some kind of magic?"
”A loud voice sounded behind them, "This is indeed another magic. ”Following the voice, they turned their heads, and it was standing in front of them that it looked taller and more majestic in the Aslan sun, its mane shaking in the wind, and it was evident that those manes had grown again."
Oh, Aslan," both girls cried out excitedly.The sisters stared at it without blinking, happy and scared at the same time."
So you're not dead, dear Aslan," Lucy asked."
Not dead yet," Aslan joked."
So, you're not one," Susan's voice trembled, she didn't have the courage to say the word "ghost."
Aslan leaned down and touched her forehead with its golden head, its mouth exhaling hot, and a thick fragrance seemed to emanate from its mane, enveloping them."
Do you think I look like," it said."
Oh, you're alive, you're alive, dear Aslan," Lucy cried out cheerfully.The sisters immediately rushed forward to hug it and kissed it all over the body."
But what the hell is going on with all this," Susan asked with concern when everyone's mood calmed down a little."
That's right," Aslan said, "though the witch knows the higher levels of magic, she doesn't know that there is a higher level of magic.The one she knew was only from ancient times, but if she could see a little deeper, into the silent depths of the primeval past, she knew there was a different kind of spell.She would understand that if a willing victim was killed as a traitor without any betrayal of his own, the stone table would shatter and death would have the opposite effect.So now" "Oh yes, so what do we do now" Lucy clapped her hands and jumped."
Oh, dear children," said the Lion King, "I perceive that my strength has been fully restored, try to see if you can still hold me" It stood there for a moment without moving, its eyes shining and its tail flicking vigorously.Then, it leaped over their heads and landed directly across the stone table.Lucy laughed out loud, though she didn't know what she was laughing at.She scrambled over the stone table to grab it, and Aslan jumped out of the way again.A fierce chase began, and it led them around the hill, one moment untouchable, one moment so that they almost caught its tail, the next it jumped between the two of them, and then it lifted them up with its large, soft paws and threw them into the air and caught them steadily, and then stopped coldly, causing the three of them to crash together.In a burst of giggling laughter, I saw only a bunch of manes, arms, and legs rolled into a ball.At this point, Lucy couldn't figure out whether she was playing with a lion or a kitten.The best part is that at the end when the three of them are all panting and resting together in the sun, the two girls don't feel tired, hungry or thirsty at all."
Alright."
It wasn't long before Aslan said, "Let's get down to business."
I think I need to yell at you, you two better plug your ears. ”They did what it said.Aslan stood up, and when it opened its mouth to roar, its face became so terrible that they didn't even dare to look at it.As it roared, they saw that all the trees in front of it had bent down and the grass had curled up into a meadow.Then it said, "We have a long way to go, and you must ride on me." ”So it lay down, and the two sisters quickly climbed onto its warm golden back.Susan sat in front, her gripping its mane tightly, and Lucy sat behind Susan, holding Susan tightly by the waist, and then she rose to her feet and galloped forward, faster than any of the horses, and they rushed straight down the hill into the forest.Riding a lion was probably the most wonderful experience they had since they arrived in Narnia.Have you ever ridden a horse, then imagine it, stripped of the heavy clatter of the horse's hooves, and the clanging of the saddle, and only think of the four great soft paws that were almost silent when they landed; Imagine a black, gray, or maroon horseback with a soft golden mane fluttering in the air; Imagine that you're twice as fast as the fastest racehorse, and that you don't need to be guided or tired on this ride.Aslan kept running forward, neither stumbling nor hesitating, and it slid neatly between the trunks.It jumped over the thorns, over the bushes, over the streams, over the creeks, across the rivers, and not on the roads, nor in the parks, nor even on the grasslands, they were all over the kingdom of Narnia.In this spring, I walked through one dark beech tree-lined avenue after another, through the sun-drenched clearing between the oak trees, through the wild orchards with snow-white cherry blossoms, past the cascading waterfalls, the moss-covered rocks, the caves with echoing sounds, the breezy slopes of the gorse, the shoulders of the lush heather trees, and the dizzying ridges, until the open valley again, Run into a large mountain area full of orchids.Towards noon, they found themselves on a steep hillside, and they looked down just enough to look down on a castle that looked like a toy castle from where they were, for it seemed to be made up entirely of spiky towers.As the lion king unfolded and rushed towards the castle at full speed, the castle became bigger and bigger, and they were already facing the castle before they could ask what it was.At this point, it no longer looked like a toy castle, and it stood eeriely in front of them.There was no one on the city walls, and the gates of the castle were tightly closed, so Aslan didn't stop at all, and rushed straight towards the castle."
This is the witch's lair.""
All right, boys, hurry up," cried out, "and the lion king took a leap of action, this time higher than ever, not so much over the castle walls.In an instant, the sisters only felt that the world was spinning, and their internal organs were about to turn out, and they were even out of breath.Before they knew it, they had tumbled off the lion's back and landed in a wide stone courtyard full of stone statues, but they were not hurt in the slightest.t1706231537:
