"Little squirrel, I'm here to bring you something delicious."
The little squirrel poked his head out and saw that there was only one mouse, Xiaozhi, under the tree, so he ran down excitedly.
Xiaozhi broke off a piece of corn cake and gave it to the little squirrel.
The two mice sat under the tree, shoulder to shoulder.
Xiao Zhi asked cautiously, "Did the human who came in just now give you anything to eat?"
The little squirrel held the corn cake in its front paws, nibbled on it, and nodded.
Xiao Zhi asked nervously: "Have you eaten?"
The little squirrel shook his head.
Xiao Zhi heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and said to the little squirrel sincerely, "Child, you have escaped a disaster! Remember, you must not eat anything that person gives you. She likes to eat squirrel meat. If you eat anything she gives you, you will die.
Not only will she eat your flesh, she will also peel off your skin to make a scarf.
Because we are both rats and relatives, I can't bear to see you end up like this!"
The little squirrel rubbed Xiaozhi with his elbow gratefully to show that he understood.
When the little squirrel returned to the tree, Xiao Zhi proudly strolled out of the canopy of the red pine with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, the eldest prince Duanduan emerged from a rat hole underground and stopped Xiao Zhi.
"Father, why did you speak ill of the Queen Mother in front of that new squirrel?"
Xiao Zhi didn't expect that his eldest son heard him stirring up trouble behind his back. He looked around nervously and asked, "Why are you here? Are there other mice around here?"
Duanduan shook her head.
Xiao Zhi pulled his eldest son aside and began to teach him the ways of being an emperor.
"Son, if we want to maintain our position in this space, we must eliminate dissidents and suppress those species that may replace us."
Duanduan was puzzled. "The space is so big, and there are only eleven rats in our family. We can't consume many survival supplies at all. Is it necessary to do this?"
Xiao Zhi looked at his open-minded eldest son with a sad look and sighed, "You are still too young. This has nothing to do with the abundance of space resources. The key is the eldest son's love.
Why can you live in this space?
It's because your father, the Emperor, has caught the boss's eye, otherwise what's the difference between you and those country bumpkins out there?"
Duanduan felt that this sounded right, but also a bit awkward.
Xiao Zhi squatted dejectedly on a dirt slope, wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes with some sadness, and said: "Father has grown old, and the Queen Mother has not been so fond of him recently.
Now a squirrel has been brought in. Who knows if the Queen Mother wants to train a new family of squirrels to replace ours?
My son, you have to shoulder the responsibility of bringing honor to the family.
You can't wait for your father to die, and then you and your brothers will be squeezed out of your space and have to compete for food with those rats outside, right?"
Duanduan was full of doubts and couldn't believe it: "Will the Queen Mother really chase us away?"
Xiao Zhi patted Duanduan on the shoulder and said, "My child, remember, your position is only stable when your role is irreplaceable.
In the human world, there is nothing that cannot be abandoned. We are just a nest of rats. "
…
The eldest prince, who had been brainwashed by Xiao Zhi for an hour, fell into confusion...
What my father said seems to make sense.
But, doesn’t this count as betrayal of the Queen Mother?
In the end, the eldest prince did not report Xiaozhi's extraordinary behavior.
Xie Wan arrived at the venue. Several diesel generators were working hard and the wide playground was brightly lit.
There were two tents set up behind the stage, which were the areas for the performers to rest and wait. Xie Wan and Qin Muye walked over and attracted a lot of attention.
"Xiao Xie, here!" Li Yufeng waved at her.
"Wait a moment." Xie Wan turned around and found that Li Yufeng had reserved the middle seat for her in the second row.
In fact, there is no need to come so early to reserve seats. The seating area for military dependents is in the front, and there are already companies lined up at the rear at the edge of the playground. The soldiers march in uniform steps, holding small stools in their hands, and sit down in their own squares.
Political Commissar Zhang was talking to the leader of the art troupe. Qin Muye said hello to Xie Wan and went over to say hello.
Xie Wan stood outside the tent and glanced inside. This was not quite the same as the backstage she had imagined. Performances nowadays did not have the complicated costumes and props of later generations. Actors performed on stage in military uniforms, with at most a little rouge and lipstick on their faces.
Mother Xu was talking to a few actresses, and Xie Wan didn't want to disturb them, so he took two steps back.
"Comrade, this is the backstage area. Please go to the auditorium to watch the performance."
A clear voice sounded behind Xie Wan.
Xie Wan turned around and their eyes met.
"Thank you, Wan!"
"Liu Shiqi?"
Liu Shiqi grabbed Xie Wan's hand and said excitedly, "I didn't expect to meet my old comrade in southern Tibet!"
Xie Wan was in a trance for a moment. Was her relationship with Liu Shiqi so good?
The two were comrades in the boot camp and seemed to have had some grudges with each other.
Later, Xu's mother wanted to introduce Liu Shiqi to Xie Yuanchao, but the blind date was ruined because of Shi Yun's appearance.
Xie Yuanchao felt that Liu Shiqi could not distinguish right from wrong and had absolutely no desire to associate with her.
Maybe it was because I met an old acquaintance in a foreign land, or maybe time is the best key to unlock the knot in my heart. When they met again three years later, the grudges of the past seemed to be less offensive.
Xie Wan was infected by Liu Shiqi's enthusiasm and said with a smile: "I am a military doctor here. Why, you should be the mainstay of the art troupe now, right?"
