Ye Duhong and Su Yu had a residence on the island, which the island owner arranged for them.
These are two ordinary rooms. They are very ordinary. There is no valuable thing worth mentioning.
Take Ye Duhong's room as a simple illustration. This room is very small. It only contains a single bed and a small two-foot-square table. The bed legs are red, and the bed is lined with light blue sheet. Between the light blue colors are the white stars and the moon, as well as the sun. The whole sheet gives a fresh and elegant feeling, like a cool summer night. There is a folded pink quilt on the bed. There are some flower patterns on the quilt cover. Ye Duhong doesn't know what kind of flowers they are. There is also a pillow, pillow is light blue, covered with a grape pattern pillow towel, pillow towel gives people the feeling is fresh and elegant, a pastoral flavor. Next to the table is a black backpack, there are many dark blue blocks on the backpack, this blue block makes the whole backpack alive.Next to the backpack against the wall is a dark green box, the surface of the box has a snakeskin-like texture, the whole box gives a quiet feeling.
The dark blue shirt that Ye Duhong wore folded up on the box, and he sat on the bed. Ye Duhong, who was facing the two-foot-square table, was hitting the table with his hands, which made a series of nice sounds. This is simple music. He plays music by himself and appreciates it by himself.
The door of Ye Duhong's left rear direction is white. This kind of door which is whiter than snow gives a clean and pure feeling. Ye Duhong likes this door. There is a pipe whiter than the door in the house, which is a water pipe. Water flows down from the pipe from time to time, and there is a"clatter"sound. There is a black clothes rack on the white pipe, a white washed pillow towel on the clothes rack, two pairs of black socks and a pair of white socks on the white pipe, and a yellow white square towel next to the black socks. There is a green single-layer bath towel on top of the towel, and next to the towel is a transparent plastic bag with rubbish in it.
Ye Duhong got up at 08:00 this morning, the moment he got up, he was thinking about what to do in these four hours from 08:00 to 12:00. After he had finished cleaning work such as washing his face and brushing his teeth, he went to have breakfast. For breakfast, he had tofu pudding, fritters and pastry. Ye Duhong thought the pastry was salty, but he didn't know it was sweet until he ate it. It's 09:00 after breakfast. It takes three hours to 12:00. Ye Duhong is sitting on the bed reading a magic book. This magic book is so long that Ye Duhong reads it every day. He didn't know if he could read it for a year. This magic book is a good book. Ye Duhong plans to finish reading it, no matter how long it takes.
Ye Duhong didn't stop reading until 12:30. He had planned to skip lunch and wait until 05:00 in the afternoon with dinner, but by 12:30 he was hungry, so he went out to eat a bowl of egg noodles. The amount of egg noodles was very large. He ate half a bowl of noodles, but he couldn't eat the rest because it was too spicy. Ye Duhong wanted to eat sugarcane after eating noodles, but failed to eat it. He walked to his residence with a jin of melon seeds, and was still eating melon seeds in the process of walking. Ye Duhong is going to eat the melon seeds slowly, just like reading the magic book slowly.
Today, Ye Duhong doesn't know what to do. When people are bored, they always feel as good as dead. Ye Duhong was sitting on the bed and beating the table. This action caught the attention of the island owner. The island owner was outside the door. He slowly walked into Ye Duhong's room and asked what Ye Duhong was doing. Ye Duhong said he was knocking on the table. The island owner asked why he knocked on the table. Ye Duhong said that there was really nothing to do. The island owner said,"You are very talented in music, and the tunes you knocked are very pleasant."Ye Duhong was encouraged by the island owner and was very comfortable. This Ye Duhong is really capable. He can knock out a tune by tapping his hand on the table.
Ye Duhong asked the island owner if he knew the outside world, and the island owner asked Ye Duhong what was the outside world. Ye Duhong told the island owner the war between the Red Army and the Free Army. After listening, the island owner felt that the outside world was exciting. The island owner never leaves the island. The island is his kingdom. He is the king. When the island owner heard Ye Duhong talk about how people suffered because of the war, he felt unbelievable. He could not imagine that one person could eat people, one person could eat shit and urine, one person could kill another person, and one person could beat another person. On the island where the island owner lives, no one beats or scolds others, and there is harmony and sweetness everywhere.
Ye Duhong came to the island, observed the life of the people on the island, and deeply realized this.
Although Ye Duhong lives in a small room, Ye Duhong does not feel aggrieved. Such a small space is good. In Ye Duhong's words, it can gather gas. The island owner sat on the bench. Ye Duhong poured a cup of tea for the island owner. The tea was light yellow and bright in color.
The island owner looked at Ye Duhong and suddenly smiled. The island owner said, "I'll give you a toy." Ye Duhong was very surprised and asked what toys he had. The owner of the island handed Ye Duhong a red fish, which was very beautiful. As soon as Ye Duhong received the red fish, the fish said hello to Ye Duhong. He can't believe this fish can speak human language. How many words will it say? Ye Duhong tried to talk to the red fish, and the fish answered fluently. This fish is so eloquent. Ye Duhong told the island owner that the fish was really fun and that the fish was so good. The owner of the island said, "There is even better. This fish can help people find the location they want to find. This is a fish that knows geography, that is, everywhere. " If a person gets lost and doesn't know east, south, west or north, he can ask the fish. The fish will tell the person the direction and tell the person how to get to where he wants to go as soon as possible.
Ye Duhong accepted the gift from the owner of the island. He thought, sitting on the stone and not knowing where to fly, just ask the red fish, and the fish can take me to the place I want to go. Ye Duhong has always wanted to go to the mainland of"Shadow in the Dream". With this fish, he can listen to the guidance of the fish to go to"Shadow in the Dream".
Ye Duhong liked it, so he took out the stone worn around his neck and showed it to the island owner. When the island owner saw the metal cover outside the stone and the red rope, his eyes lit up. This ornament cover was lost by the island owner and is a very precious object. Since Ye Duhong picked it up and Ye Duhong liked it, give it to him. Ye Duhong is very grateful for the generosity of the island owner, who is such a warm-hearted person.
Ye Duhong asked the island owner why he could live so peacefully without seeking immortality or becoming an immortal. Why does he enjoy life so step by step? The island owner's answer to Ye Duhong is,"People should have a broad heart. If people's hearts are small, then people's world is small. If people's hearts are cold, then people's world is cold. If people's hearts are broad, then people's world must be vast."
Ye Duhong suddenly enlightened that he no longer knocked on the table, even though his music was wonderful. He wants to change the sticky and boring state of mind, to be positive and enterprising, to broaden his mind and his life.
