Dedicated to Nicholas Hardy 1 It was a very gloomy autumn day behind the gymnasium, and Gilpole hid behind the gymnasium and wept.She cried because she was being bullied by them.Since this story isn't about school life, I won't go into too much detail about Jill's time at school, not to mention that it's not a pleasant topic.Her school is a co-educational school, commonly known as a "co-ed" school.Some people think that the brains of school administrators are more chaotic than the schools themselves.These people have the idea that boys and girls in school should be allowed to do whatever they like.Unfortunately, however, there are ten to fifteen older boys and girls who like to bully other classmates the most, and they do countless kinds of bad things, and if in an ordinary school, within half a semester, these terrible things will be found out and stopped, but in this school, they are ignored.Or it can be said that even if someone finds out about these bad things, the bad guys who do these things are not fired or punished.Because they were interesting cases of psychology in the headmaster's mind, he would send someone to find them and talk to them for hours with great interest.If you are a clever child who knows how to say things to the principal that is in line with his heart, then you will become his darling.At the end of the day, that's why Gilpole cried on that wet path behind the gymnasium and among the bushes on that gloomy autumn day.While she was still sobbing, a boy with his hands in his pockets came up whistling.He went around the corner of the gymnasium and almost hit her headbutt."
Can't you look carefully when you walk," Gilpole said."
All right," said the boy, "don't scare me," and only then did he notice the tear stains on her face."
Hey, Jill," he asked, "what's going on" Jill didn't say anything, just made a few weird expressions, the weird ones that make you cry when you want to say something."
If you want me to say, it's a good thing they did again," the boy looked serious, and his hands were deeper in his pockets.Jill nodded.Even if she could say it neatly, there was no need to say anything more at this point.Both of them knew it in their hearts."
Well, you see," said the boy, "it's useless for us to do this," and though the intention was good, what he said was as infuriating as the rambling truths.Jill suddenly loses his temper and is interrupted when you hide and cry sadly."
Really, you don't need to be nosy when you go away," she said, "and no one asks you to come and give your opinion."
You're a nice guy to teach us what we should do, I guess you mean that we should spend all our time trying to please them, just like you, to flatter them. ”"My God," said the boy, sat down on the grassy slope by the bushes, but immediately got up again, for the grass was soaking wet.Unfortunately, his name is Eustace Scrobe1, and in fact, he is not bad."
Oh my God, Pol," he said, "isn't it fair for you to say that, I've never done anything like that this semester."
Didn't I talk to Carter for the sake of the rabbit, and Spiving's secret, didn't I keep it tight, and I was tortured for it, and I didn't" "I don't know, and I don't care. ”Jill said as she sobbed.Eustace, seeing that she was in a bad mood, obediently took out a piece of mint candy and handed it to her.He ate a piece himself.After a while, Jill calmed down and cleared her mind a little."
I'm sorry, Eustace," said Jill, "and it's not fair for me to say that.In fact, you've done quite a few good things this semester. ”"If you want to forget, forget about last semester.""
At that time, I was a different guy.Me, how bad, how nasty I was" "Well, to be honest, you were really bad at the time. ”Jill said."
Do you see I've changed now," Eustace said."
It's not just me who found out," Jill said, "and everybody found out, and they've noticed."
Yesterday in the locker room, Eleanor Blackkiston heard Adela Penniface talking about you.She said: Is there anyone behind the scenes, Eustace, that kid, this semester he is quite disobedient.It seems that you have to take care of him. ”Hearing this, Eustace couldn't help but shudder.Everyone in the experimental school understands what it means to be "taken care of" by them.Both children were silent.Droplets of water fall down the laurel leaves."
Why is last semester so different from now?"
asked Jill after a while."
I had a lot of strange things happen during the holidays."
Eustace said mysteriously."
What's the matter?"
asked Jill.After a long time, Eustace was silent.Later he said, "Bol, listen to me, we both hate this place, hate it as much as we want, don't we?"
”Jill said."
Well, I think I can trust you completely.""
You're a good man."
Jill said."
Yes, but it's a big secret.Pol, I say, would you believe anything about the gods, I mean, if the people here heard about it, they would make a lot of fun of it. ”"I never had a chance to hear anything like that.""
Still, I think I'll believe it." ”"Well, would you believe me if I said, just last vacation, I used to walk out of this world, out of this world" "I don't understand what you mean. ”"Ahem, then don't care what the world is or not.If I told you, I once went to a place where the animals talked, and well, there was magic and dragons, and everything you could read in a fairy tale. ”When he said this, Scrobe felt very embarrassed, and his face turned red."
How did you get there," Jill said.She also felt a little embarrassed."
There's only one way, and that's magic," Eustace whispered, "and I'm going with my two cousins."
We just walked away all at once.They have been there before. ”The two of them whispered, and for some reason, Jill found it very believable.But then, another thought came to her, and suddenly she became suspicious, and she said menacingly, "Listen, if I find out that you are playing tricks on me, I will never speak to you again, never," said Eustace, "I swear I did not play a trick on you."
I swear by everything. ”When I was studying, people would say, "I swear by the Bible," but in the experimental school, reading the Bible was not allowed."
Well," said Jill, "I believe in you. ”"Totally trust, don't tell anyone" "What do you think of me for" When these words were said, both of them were excited.But when they had finished, Jill looked around, saw the still gloomy autumn sky, heard the constant dripping of water on the leaves, and felt that they had thirteen weeks in a semester and eleven weeks to go in the experimental school, and so far eleven weeks to go, and she said, "But so what, we are not there, we are still here, and we cannot go there.""
I've been thinking about it," said Eustace, "and the last time we came back from that place, someone said that the two children of the Pevenseys, my two cousins, would never go there again, because it was the third time they had been there.I think they've had enough.But no one said I couldn't go again.If I couldn't go back, it must have told me a long time ago, so I wondered, can we do it" "You mean find a way to get us there" Eustace nodded."
You mean we can draw a circle on the ground, and then draw some strange and mysterious symbols and so on in the circle, and then stand in the circle and recite a few more incantations that no one understands" "Well," Eustace said after a moment of deep thought, "I was thinking about such a thing, but I had never tried it.Now that we're talking about this, I'm going to talk about what I think, and I think it's ridiculous to draw circles and recite mantras and all that, and I don't think it's going to like it, because to do that would be as if we thought we could call it.Seriously, though, we can only ask about it. ”"Who the hell are you talking about it?"
"In that place, everyone calls it Aslan." ”Eustace said."
That's a weird name.""
It's not at all its fault," Eustace said solemnly, "but let's get back to what we've just said."
It's okay to ask.Let's just stand side by side, arms outstretched, palms down, just like they did on the island of La Mandou" "What island" About this, I'll tell you next time.Well, I guess it might like us standing facing east.Which side is the East" "I don't know. ”Jill said."
That's how special girls are, they don't know where the compass is."
Eustace said."
I'm afraid you don't know either."
Jill said indignantly."
I know, as long as you don't interrupt me all the time.Now I recognize that the direction facing the laurel is the east.Hey, would you like to read a few words along with me?"
asked Jill."
Of course it's the spell I'm about to utter."

Eustace replied, "Come, let's get started." ”Then he began to read: "Aslan, Aslan, Aslan" Jill followed him: "Aslan, Aslan, Aslan" "Please let the two of us in" Just then, a shout came from the other side of the gymnasium: "You look for Pol, I know where she is."
She's crying at the back of the gymnasium, do you want me to pull her out for you," Jill and Eustace looked at each other for a moment, and immediately rushed under the laurel tree, and began to climb the steep mud slope behind the bushes with an incredible speed.Due to the strange teaching methods of the experimental school, the students did not learn much about French, mathematics, Latin, etc., but they learned a lot of good ways to get out quickly.After crawling for about a minute, they stopped to listen.Judging from the various voices, they are being targeted.They continued to climb up, "Just open that door," Eustace said, and Jill nodded.There was a high stone wall above the bushes, and a door in the wall through which one could lead to the open wilderness.But the door was always locked, and it only opened occasionally, maybe only once.But you should know that even once is enough to give hope and try to open that door.If that door happens to be open, you can escape from the campus without noticing.Jill and Eustace were bent over under the laurel tree, covered in water and mud.Panting, they crawled to the wall and found the door locked tightly, as usual."
Well, it definitely doesn't work," Eustace said, pulling the doorknob, "oh oh God" The doorknob turned and the door opened.Just now, the two of them thought to themselves, if the door was not locked, they would rush out as fast as possible.But as soon as the door was opened, they both froze, not moving.Because what was presented to them was completely unexpected.I thought that what would appear in front of me would be a bare wasteland and a heather-covered hillside that led to the sky, but I didn't expect to be greeted by a strong sun.The sun is shining in, as if you slam open the garage door and the June sun shines in.The drops of water on the grass glistened like pearls in the sunlight, and they also set off Gil's tear-stained face.As far as they could tell, this intense sunlight must have come from a different world.The meadow in front of them was much softer and brighter than what Jill had ever seen before.And the dazzlingly blue sky, and the shiny thing flying around in the air could probably be a jewel or a rare butterfly.As much as Jill had always longed to see these magical things, she was horrified when they did appear in front of her.She turned her head to look at Eustace, and saw that he was also alarmed."
Let's go, Pol."
Eustace seemed to be out of breath when he spoke."
But can we come back, is it safe over there?"
asked Jill.Just then, they heard a mean, vicious little voice behind them chirping, "Pol, everybody knows you're hiding there, come down" was Edith Jackel's voice, she was a hench, nasty guy who loved to talk about right and wrong, but she wasn't in their league yet."
Quick," said Eustace, "take my hand, don't let go" Before Jill could react, he grabbed her hand tightly and took her and rushed out of the door with her, and they rushed out of the schoolyard, out of England, out of our world, and came to that place.Suddenly, Edith Jackel's voice disappeared, as if the noisy radio had been abruptly turned off and the sound inside had suddenly disappeared.Instead, a completely different voice suddenly sounded around them.The sounds came from the shiny things that flew above their heads, and they immediately recognized them as birds.They are hovering in the air, making frolicking calls, and they sound more like music than the songs of birds in our world, and they are very advanced music, and you may not be able to grasp them coldly.Despite the sound of singing coming from the air, the whole background was extremely silent.This ethereal silence, combined with the fresh air, made Jill think that they must have come to a very high mountain.Scrob still held her hand tightly, and the two of them continued to walk forward as they looked around.Jill noticed that it was surrounded by towering trees that resembled cedars, but taller than cedars.These trees don't grow very densely, and there are no bushes under them, so you can see them from a distance.Jill looked into the distance, and saw the endless meadows in the distance almost as far as the one around them, and colorful birds flying in the air, yellow, blue, and colorful, and as far as the eye could see, it was empty.The air was very cool and fresh, there was not a hint of wind, and it looked like a quiet and deserted forest.There were no trees directly in front of them, only a sky that was boundless blue.Neither of them spoke, just walked straight forward, all the way on.Suddenly, Jill heard Scrobe shout: "Be careful" and then felt herself be pulled violently, reflexively restraining her steps, oh my God, they were standing on the edge of the cliff, and it just so happened that Jill was a girl who was not afraid of heights, and she didn't care about standing on the edge of the cliff.And she was very annoyed that Eustace was pulling her hard, "like I was a little child," she said.Then, unexpectedly, she jerked free of his grasp.Seeing that his face had become very pale and bloodless, she couldn't help but look down on him."
What's the matter," she said deliberately unconcerned.Then, in order to show that she was not afraid, she actually walked to a place very close to the edge of the cliff and stopped.In fact, it was much closer than where she wanted to stand.Then, she looked down at the bottom of the cliff.It was then that she realized that Eustace's pale face was justified, because there was no cliff in our world that could compare to this one.Imagine yourself standing on the top of the highest cliff, and imagine you looking down at the bottom of the cliff, and imagine that the cliff is unfathomable.Your gaze goes on and on, ten times as much, twenty times as much, and when you look so deep, the first little white spot that comes into your eye is a flock of sheep, which you might mistake for a flock of sheep, but soon you find that it is not a small cloud of mist, but a thick, white, fluffy cloud, a large patch, like a mountain.Through these clouds, you finally see for the first time the real bottom of the cliff, which is so far away, so far away, that you can't tell whether it is a field or a forest, land or water.You are standing on the top of a cliff, not too far above the clouds, and the bottom of the cliff is even farther below the clouds.Jill's eyes looked straight down, and then it occurred to her that she should take a step or two back away from the edge of this terrible cliff, but she was afraid that Eustace thought she was a coward, and would not take a step back.Then she made up her mind that, no matter what he thought, she would have to hurry away from the terrible cliff anyway, and never make fun of anyone who feared the heights again.But then she found that she could no longer move, her legs seemed to be tied, she could not move at all, and everything in front of her began to rotate incessantly."
What are you doing, Jill, come back quickly, you idiot" Eustace shouted anxiously.But to Jill's ears, his voice seemed so far away, as if it came from far away.She felt him pulling her hard, but by this time she was completely unable to control herself, let alone command her own hands and feet.In this way, the two of them struggled on the edge of the cliff for a while, and Jill was so frightened and dizzy that he couldn't remember what he had done.However, there were two things that she could never forget in her life, and she often dreamed of them until now: the first was that she tried her best to break free from Scrob's hands; The second thing was that as she broke free of Eustace, she heard Eustace let out a frightened scream, and then the whole person lost her balance and fell headlong into the unfathomable abyss.It was happening so fast that she didn't have time to figure out what she had done.At this moment, a beast with bright coat and a huge body had rushed to the edge of the cliff.It lay down, leaned out, and blew slowly from its mouth, oh my God, what a strange thing, the beast didn't roar or snort, but opened its mouth wide and blew slowly, leisurely, like a vacuum cleaner.Jill lay on the ground, so close to the animal, she felt the breath vibrating steadily in its body, and she lay there motionless because she almost fainted, and couldn't get up at all.In fact, she wished she could really faint, but it wasn't so easy to faint.Later, she finally saw it.Far below her, a small black dot was floating below the cliff, and it was moving up little by little.But as the black dot rose upward, it was farther away from her.So when the black dot rose to about the height of the cliff, it was already drifting far, far away, and she couldn't see it at all, obviously, the black dot had drifted away from them.This made Jill think that it was the giant beast beside her that blew the black dot away.So she turned her head to take a closer look at the animal, which turned out to be a lion.t1706231537:
