13. The dwarfs refuse to be deceived


Tillian had thought, or if he had had had time to think about it, he might have thought that they were all in that little stable, about twelve feet long and six feet wide.But they were now standing on a green meadow, with the blue sky above them, and the gentle breeze blowing softly on their faces, it was early summer, and it was a good day with light clouds and light wind and bright sunshine.Not far from them was a grove of fruits, full of foliage, and under each leaf there were fruits of various colors, golden yellow, pale yellow, purple and bright red, which no one in our world had ever seen.Looking at the fruits, Tillian thought it must be autumn, but it felt like something in the air told him that the season was only June at the latest.The group of them all walked towards the fruit tree.Everyone reached out to pick their favorite fruit, and then everyone hesitated.Because the fruit is so beautiful that everybody thinks, "This can't be something you can enjoy, and surely we won't be allowed to pick it." ”"No problem," said Peter, "I know what everybody is thinking.But I'm sure, very sure, that we don't have to worry about that.I can feel that we are in a country where we are allowed to do anything. ”"Well, then, let's eat to our heart's content," Eustace said.So, everybody started to feast.What kind of fruit is it, but unfortunately no one can describe its taste.All I can tell is that the freshest grapefruit you've ever eaten is too tasteless compared to the fruits, the softest pears are too hard and dry, the sweetest wild strawberries are too sour, they have no seeds, no pits, and no annoying wasps.Once you've eaten this fruit, the world's most delicious thing will taste like it was after taking medicine.But I can't describe it, you can't tell what it tastes like until you go to that country and taste it yourself.When they had eaten their fill, Eustace asked Peter, "You haven't told us how you got here, and you were just about to say it when King Tillian appeared here." ”"There's nothing to say, Edmund and I were all standing on the platform and we saw the train you were on coming in.I remember thinking that the train was going too fast when it turned, and I remember the thought that crossed my mind: maybe we were all on the same train.Lucy had no idea about it, and it was funny," "Supreme King, your people," King Tillian asked."

I'm referring to my father and mother, who are me, Edmund, and Lucy's parents."

Peter replied."

Why them," Jill asked, "You don't mean they know Narnia, too?"

"Oh, no.It had nothing to do with Narnia, they were on their way to Bristol.I had just heard that morning that they were going there.Edmund said they would definitely take that train, though. ”Edmund is the kind of person who knows quite a bit about how trains run."

So, what happened next?"

asked Jill."

Well, that's not easy to describe, is it, Edmund," asked Peter the Highest."

It's hard to say," Edmund said, "that last time magic forcibly pulled us out of our world, this time it's completely different.There was a terrible roar, followed by a thud of something hitting me, but I wasn't hurt.I didn't feel that scared at the time, well, it made me a little excited.Oh, that's a weird thing.I've always had pain in my knee, which I hurt while playing rugby.I noticed that it suddenly stopped hurting, and I felt very light.And then, here we are. ”"It's similar to what happened when we were sitting in the car."

Lord Diggray said, wiping the fruit stains off his golden beard, "but I think that you and I, and Polly, are mainly feeling that our bodies have become less stiff, and you young people don't know that.You see, we've stopped aging now. ”"What a young man, really," said Jill, "I don't believe you two can be any older than us here. ”"Even if we don't look old now, then we used to be old."

Mrs.

Polly said with a smile."

And what happened to you when you got here," Eustace asked curiously."

Well," said Peter the Highest, "for a long time, at least I think for a long time, nothing happened.Then the door opened," King Tillian asked."

Yes," said Peter, "that is, the door in which you entered, or the door at which you came out, by the way, do you not remember?"

asked Tillian."

Look, there it is," Peter said, gesturing.Tillian looked over there and saw the weirdest, funniest thing you could imagine, only a few yards away from him, and it could be seen clearly in the sunlight.There stood a rough wooden door, surrounded by the frame of the door, and nothing else, no walls, no roof.He walked towards the wooden door, confused, his mind in confusion.The others followed him, wanting to see what he would do.He went around to the other side of the door, but it was the same thing he looked like on the other side, he was still in the open air, on a summer morning.The door stood there like a tree."

Your Excellency," said Tillian to the Supreme King, "it is a great miracle. ”"This is the door you and the Calemon man walked in five minutes ago."

Peter said with a smile."

But I didn't enter the stables through the woods outside, and yet this door seemed to be a door that led from nowhere.""

It sounds like you're going around it."

Peter said, "Put your eyes in the gap between the two planks and look through there." ”Tillian pressed his eyes closer to the gap.At first he saw nothing but darkness, but then, his eyes began to adjust, and he saw that the dark red bonfire was about to go out, and above it, in the dark sky, the stars twinkled.He could then see some black figures between him and the campfire, either walking or standing.He could hear them talking, and they spoke like the Calemon soldiers.Then he understood that what he looked out through the door of the stable was the place where he had fought his last battle, the dark lamppost field.The soldiers were debating whether to enter the stables in search of Tykantashli, but none of them were willing to do so, or set fire to the stables.He looked around again, unable to believe that his eyes were above him with a clear blue sky, and the green earth stretched in all directions as far as the eye could see, and his new friends were laughing around him."

Well, it seems," said Tillian, smiling, "that the stable looks like two completely different places from the inside." ”"Yes," said Lord Dugray, "the inside of the stable is much larger than the outside. ”"Yes," said Queen Lucy, "it is the same in our world, and once there is something in a stable, it is much bigger than my whole world. ”It was the first time she had spoken, and a tremor of excitement or excitement could be heard in her voice.Tillian knew why, because she knew everything better than anyone else.She felt so happy, so happy that she could barely speak.But he wanted to hear her again, so he said, "Ma'am, go on, and tell me the whole story of your adventure." ”"After all that loud shaking and commotion," Lucy continued, "we found ourselves here.We, just like you, are amazed at this door.Then the door opened for the first time, and when it was opened, we saw darkness through it, and in came a tall man with an unsheathed scimitar in his hand, and we knew from his armament that he was a Calemin.He stood by the door, raised his knife over his shoulder, ready to slash anyone who entered the door.We went up to him and talked to him, but we didn't think he could see us or hear what we were saying.He didn't even look around at the blue sky, the sun, and the green grass, and I don't think he could see any of that.So we just waited there for a long time.Later, we heard the latch on the other side of the door being pulled off, but the tall man was not ready to swing his knife and cut it down before he could see who it was.So we assume that he must have been ordered by others to kill some people and spare others.But at this critical moment when the door was opening, the god Tash suddenly appeared there, on this side of the door.None of us saw where it came from.At this time, a big cat came in from the other side of the door, and as soon as it saw the god Tash, it immediately ran for its life, because when the god Tash pounced on it, the closed door happened to touch the beak of the god Tash.The tall soldier could see the god Tash, and his whole face immediately turned pale, and then he leaned down before the devil, and the god Tash disappeared. ”"We waited a long time again.Finally, the door was finally opened for the third time, this time by a young Kalemen soldier.I like him a lot.The soldier at the door jumped to his feet, and when he saw the young man, he had a rather surprised expression on his face.I think what he had been expecting was something completely different from this man" "Now I understand what was going on," Eustace said, who had a bad habit of interrupting other people's stories, "The cat was scheduled to be the first to come in, and the sentry must have been ordered not to hurt it."

Then the cat had planned to go out again and tell everyone that it had seen the murderous god Tash, and pretended to be frightened to scare the other animals.But Treacherous never imagined that the real god Tash would appear, so Ginger was really frightened and fled.After that, Treachery will send another subject it is hell-bent on getting rid of into the stables, at which point the Sentinels will kill them.And "friend," said Tillian softly, "you are hindering Mademoiselle from telling her story." ”"Okay, I'll go on."

Lucy said, "The sentinel was taken aback, just enough time for the other to defend himself.The two of them had a fight, and the young soldier killed the sentry and threw his body out the door.Then, slowly, he walked in our direction.He can see us and other things.We tried to talk to him, but he looked like a trance-like person.He kept saying: God Tash, God Tash, where is God Tash I'm going to find God Tash.So we gave up on communicating with him.Then I don't know where he went, and he went that way.I like him.Ah, after that," Lucy grimaced."

After that," Edmund continued, "someone threw an ape in through that door.At this time, the god Tash reappeared.My sister is too soft-hearted to tell you that the god Tash pecked lightly, and the ape was gone and it was eaten. ”"It's self-inflicted," Eustace said, "and likewise, I had hoped it was at odds with the god Tash. ”"And after that," continued Edmund, "came in more than a dozen dwarfs, and then Jill and Eustace, and the last of you, you, came in. ”"I want the god Tash to eat these dwarfs too," Eustace said, "a bunch of little villains" "No, it doesn't do that," said Lucy, "and don't say things like that and make people turn away at you."

The dwarfs are still here, in fact, you can see them from here.Despite my repeated attempts to make friends with them, to no avail. ”"You still want to be friends with them," Eustace cried angrily, "if you knew what bad things those dwarfs had done, you wouldn't think so." ”"Oh, forget it, Eustace," said Lucy, "come and see them.King Tilian, maybe you can do something for them. ”"I don't have any great love for dwarfs today.""

But, miss," said Tillian, "since you have made your request, I will do something a little greater than that." ”Led by Lucy, they soon see the dwarfs.They look weird.They were not walking or relaxing, though the ropes were gone, and they were not lying down to rest, but they sat in a small circle facing each other, without looking around at all, and noticing any human beings.It wasn't until Lucy and Tillian were so close that they were almost about to run into them that the dwarfs looked up.But it was as if they couldn't see anyone at all, and they were all desperately trying to concentrate and listen, trying to guess what was going on by the sound."

Beware," said one of the dwarfs rudely, "where you are going, watch yourselves, and don't come up in our faces" "No problem," said Eustace indignantly, "we are not blind, we have eyes on our heads," and "if your eyes can see people here, they are good enough." ”The dwarf named Diggle said again."

Where are you referring here," Edmund asked."

You brainless fellow," said Diggle, "the dark, cramped, smelly place of the stables, of course," "Are you blind?"

asked Tillian."

Aren't we all blind in the darkness?"

Digger asked rhetorically."

But it's not dark here, you poor, stupid dwarfs," said Lucy, "can't you see, look up and look around you, can't you see the blue sky, the green trees, and the blooming flowers, can't you see me?"

The dwarf said stubbornly."

But I can see you," Lucy continued, "and I can prove that I can see you.You've got a pipe in your mouth. ”"Everybody who can smell tobacco will say that."

Diggle scoffed."

Oh, these poor little things, how stupid and stubborn they are."

Lucy sighed, and then she thought of an idea, she stopped arguing, and bent down to pluck a wild violet, "Listen, dwarfs," said Lucy, "if you have problems with your eyes and can't see, then your nose can't go wrong, can you smell it?"

she leaned over and put the fresh, slightly wet flower in front of Diggle's ugly nose.However, she had to quickly jump back to avoid the sudden blow from the dwarf's small hard fist."

There's nothing," cried the dwarf angrily, "how dare you be so presumptuous, what do you mean by throwing that filthy and filthy pile of garbage in the stables in my face, and there is a thistle in it, you are too reckless and rude, and besides, who are you?"

”"She's Queen Lucy, sent here from time immemorial by Aslan.And it is because of her, I, your rightful king, did not cut off your heads from your shoulders.It turns out that you are all traitors who have done treacherous things again and again. ”"It's unreasonable," exclaimed the dwarf, "how can you continue to tell that rotten, moldy lie, that your world-shaking lion king, Aslan, has not come to your aid, do you think about it?"

And now, even now, when you're defeated and thrown into this dark room, in the same situation as the rest of us, you're playing your old trick and starting to make up a new lie to convince us that none of us are being imprisoned, that it's not dark, and that only God knows. ”"There's no darkness here, fool, save your fantasies," cried Tilian, "get out of it." ”Immediately, he leaned forward, grabbed Diggle's belt and turban, and pulled him out of the circle of the dwarves.But as soon as Tillian put him on the ground, Diggle immediately ran back to his place among the dwarfs, rubbing his nose and wailing, "Oh, why did you do such a thing to slam my face against the wall, you almost broke the bridge of my nose." ”"Oh my God," Lucy said helplessly, "what the hell can we do for them?"

”Eustace said.As he said this, the whole earth shook, and the fragrant air suddenly became more fragrant, and a bright light flashed behind them.Everyone looked back.Tillian was the last to turn back, because he was afraid.Standing there was the huge, real, glittering golden Lion King Aslan himself that he longed for.The others were already kneeling in a circle around its front paws.As it leaned down on its massive head and licked its tongue at their foreheads, everyone buried their hands and heads in its golden mane.Its eyes were firmly fixed on Tillian.Trembling, Tillian stepped forward and fell at Aslan's feet.Aslan kissed him and said, "Well done, the last king of Narnia is still resilient and mighty in the darkest of times. ”"Aslan," said Lucy with tears streaming down her face, "will you do something for these poor dwarfs" "My dearest," Aslan said softly, "I will show you what I can do and what I can't." ”It approached the dwarfs and let out a low roar, low, but the whole air vibrated with it.But the dwarfs discussed with each other, "Do you hear that the other gang in the stable is trying to frighten us?"

They must have used some kind of machine to make that sound, don't care.Hmph, they don't want to fool us again" Aslan looked up and shook his mane.An extraordinarily sumptuous feast immediately appeared on the dwarfs' laps: pies, duck tongues, pigeon meat, creamy muffins, and ice cream.Each dwarf held a goblet full of wine in his right hand, but that apparently didn't do much.They began to eat and drink voraciously, but it was clear that they had no taste at all.They thought they were eating and drinking nothing more than something that could be found everywhere in the stables.One dwarf said it was eating hay, another said he was eating a small piece of aged turnips, and the third said he had found raw cabbage leaves.They raised the solid gold goblet filled with red wine to their lips, and after drinking it, they said, "Bah, I can't imagine that we drank the dirty water from the trough that the donkey had drunk, and we never thought we would be in such a situation." ”Soon, however, each of the dwarfs began to suspect that the other dwarfs had found something better than what they had in their hands, and they began to fight over each other.Within minutes, they were in a scuffle, with all the fine food getting on their faces or clothes, or being trampled under their feet.Finally, when they sat down to clean up their dark eyes and bleeding noses, all the dwarfs said, "Well, at least there are no liars here."

We must not allow anyone to deceive us and lead us into it.The dwarfs fight only for the dwarfs themselves. ”"Look," said Aslan, "they don't let us help them at all, they prefer treachery and cunning to trust, their cage is their own idea, they are still in that cage, because they are afraid of being deceived, so they refuse to accept that they will be brought out."

Now, come here, kids.I have other things to do. ”Aslan walked towards the door, and everyone followed behind it, and it raised its head and shouted, "Now the time is up" Then, the voice became louder: "The time is up" Immediately after, there was a roar that resounded through the heavenly valley and shocked even the shining stars: "The time is up" In the roar, the door opened.t1706231537:
