1. Moon City

I was on the train bound for Moon City at 6:50 in the morning. This is not my first trip to Moon City, but every time I go to Moon City is like a brand new experience and adventure. The timetable for the train to Moon City will never be shown, and you never know which platform it is. Even before boarding the train, you will never know whether the train is bound for Moon City. Only you are at the right time. Board the right train on the platform. At a certain moment, you will feel certain that this is the right time, this is the right platform, and I am going to the right destination, my Moon City.

At this moment, I felt this way. The train passed through a period of fog and everything became unreal. The jackdaws on the poles beside the railroad tracks outside the window stood in a row and stared at the inside of the car strangely, and some of their kind Hovering over the distant wheat field. Although the train was moving slowly, I felt that time was passing fast. I still couldn't see their faces, only the noise from their throats.

The fog became thicker and darker, and the sky became deeper and deeper. When everything seemed to freeze, the train suddenly arrived, and a shining city appeared in front of you. I came back to this city again, shining the brightest light in the deepest night, whether because of this, the people who came here will always be so fascinated and overwhelmed, wandering around without knowing where to go.

This time I don’t know why I set foot on this train. In the bright morning of others, I set foot on such a night train. In fact, Moon City is not always dark at night, but no one in the city knows the direction. , And no one cares about the time, sometimes the city suddenly becomes lively for unknown reasons, surrounded by crowds, noisy beer glasses, as if people here are always drinking forever, sometimes inadvertently turning back and finding that there is nothing left The streets and roadsides of China were soaked in the rain, and the cats huddled together, as if no one had ever passed by. But you know for sure what happened here, those bar signs still wagging in the air, the faint smell in the air, the fuzzy footprints of the bluestone slabs on the street, and the flickering candlelight. Everything is so familiar, but it seems to be separated from each other. Memories are filled with mountains and rivers, and the moon above the head is the eternity of this city.

"You are here," someone said suddenly behind him. He was a teenager, with bright eyes under a felt hat, a wet poncho, and fresh dirt on his dew-stained shoes. It seemed that he had walked a lot. "Come with me, it's coming," the boy said hurriedly.
"Who?"
"You still don't remember anything?" The boy anxiously asked, and he couldn't help but drag me into a tavern next to him.

The lively atmosphere in the tavern suddenly quieted down, and everyone seemed to have noticed our arrival. The bartender stared at the boy "Are you here again?" The boy said nothing.
Obviously the volume of the bartender at this moment was enough to make everyone in this tavern hear clearly, and it was noisy.
At the same time, an unknown sound came from a distance on the street outside, and the door flaps slapped, seeming far and not near, like wind and rain, mixed with clang of gold and stones, accompanied by the fragrance of plants and flowers. Immediately, passers-by screamed, cats and dogs disturbed, the people in the tavern looked solemn and did not say a word, the bartender checked the doors and windows again, and simply turned off the lights with a snap.

The street fell silent outside, and something came. Suddenly the inner door of the tavern slammed open behind him, and a figure flashed, covered in blue hair, with exposed horns and blue-faced fangs. It was terrible. He violently grabbed one of them, opened his chest, and swallowed the man’s heart in one bite. I looked at everyone in the room again in the darkness, and when I met my eyes, there was a scream, and another whistling away, my chest became stuffy for some reason, and then I lost consciousness.


Second, the blue monster

"Who is it?" After an unknown period of time, I opened my eyes and asked the boy next to him.

"A blue monster," the boy said.

"Of course I know that it is not a green hairy water monster, where am I now?" I asked again, dissatisfied with this answer.

"Moon wall." The boy replied.

Only then did he discover a strange atmosphere around him, the moss on the stone steps below his feet had withered, and the blue hair scattered all over the city gate.

"Where did it come from?" I continued to ask.

"No one knows," the boy said. "It comes suddenly and suddenly, and no one notices it when it goes. I only know that it is hidden in a door, and it can reach any corner of the world through any door in the world, as long as you leave a door for it. It will talk to people.

Just kidding, if it's a joke." "What's a joke?" I don't understand.

"When it came, it often teased a pair of lovers and gave time to one, but this time was taken away from the other. One person lost his life span while the other lost the same life span, laughter became bitter, and life was not the same. life, death can not be dead, only more frightening is the rest of his life distress, it stole the memory of the young person, if he love another change of heart, it will catch his life and heart to swallow. "
my chest Feeling violently empty.

"Come with me," the boy motioned to me, "Let's take a look at the moon city wall. The trappers in the city are also coming."

At this time, the narrow streets below the city have become lively again, and the dizzy yellow lights are re-embellished. Facing the street, there was a soft night, as if nothing had happened, and the sea outside the city had also returned to calm, reappearing with sparkling waves. No wonder, for a city, a person's grief and joy are too common every day. Even if the individual's inland sea is set off by huge waves, this city can't feel the shaking of the earth.

At this moment, I suddenly found a figure on the reef by the sea that seemed very familiar. I climbed down the city wall with the boy and approached that figure.

There are a bunch of blue hairs scattered around, so it's her? How could it be her?

At this time, her face was still as clean as the old, with a familiar taste, but it was a little different. She seemed completely strange in front of her, but there was no familiar luster in her eyes. She was a little girl who didn't know me at all. .

Three, is it her?

My memory gradually became clear. We don’t know how many times we passed by that stone street. The cat we fed was still napping under the dampness after the rain, and the tavern, how many men and women we experienced together there. , How many wine glasses have been counted. She disappeared by accident, leaving me in despair, my heart seemed to be held by a rope, and on the other end of the rope was her smile.
Everything came back, and I totally thought of her.

But later, why did she leave me and come here? I haven't figured it out yet.
When is it that we are slowly alienating, quarreling more and more, feeling more and more tired, and burdened with too much weight, so that we can hardly see the sea in the distance.

"The land outside the city is so big, there are so many beautiful things, beautiful singing, beautiful people, why do you want to be so obsessed with these ugly places?

I want to take your hand and run towards the unknown future, Find the lamp that can light up my life and complete a new self."

The girl was not moved. "Don't come here, I can't go." She replied.

I sat down slumped, and these unpleasant memories also flooded up. Something fell out of my mouth, and it turned out to be a few teeth when I picked it up. My appearance was reflected on the sea, wrinkled and gray, looking blank, I was aging fast, and it became difficult to breathe soon. , The heart felt quickly failing, and blue hair began to grow on her body.

I am not afraid of dying like this, even if I have been jokes with that nasty curse. I know she is not that monster. If my black hair can exchange her happiness, I would rather change into a blue banished self in this land of atonement. The night is approaching, I will no longer know myself, and I will not let others know me again, I will be a blue monster exiled on the other side of the world.

Suddenly, there was a pain in my body. It was the steel fork, and the shadow was in the distance. The trappers are here. They are here to kill my monster.

A different color flashed in the girl’s eyes, and she walked towards me with difficulty. Every step I got closer, I shed a ray of blue and gave me a bit more strength, but the girl gained a bit of blue, and my consciousness began to sink. The muscles began to fill, and the memory became blurred again. The girl became taller and taller, and gradually became ferocious. She was covered in blue. She opened her chest with sharp claws, grabbed a bloody heart, and then opened my chest and stuffed it in.

The trappers arrived, "Kill this monster!" Several spears fired together, and she slammed in front of me, and the spear easily pierced her chest.

She fell into the sea, and I could only hold her hand tightly. Her face slowly blurred and was gradually covered by a layer of light blue fluff. Those fluffs grew and grew faster and longer than they were heartbreaking. I tried desperately to remove that layer of fluff, but the terrible blue grew too fast, she became more and more blurred, I could no longer take care of that layer of fluff, I didn’t know her at first, and I began to miss the past. The past. Oh my god, don't let her go! Don't take away my memory! This is the only thing I have! She broke away from my hand little by little, grabbed a few in vain, she disappeared into a piece of dark water, and I can't remember her appearance anymore.

Without a trace of ripple on the water, the boy walked over.

"Where is this?" I asked.

"This sea will be called Don't Return to the Sea in the future. You won't come back to this city in the future."

"Why?"

"That heart originally belonged to you, just because you forgot her, she swallowed your heart. Let you become an empty body. Why did she return it to you in the end, I don’t understand, maybe you don’t belong here anymore, go to the next city. This can be regarded as the return of the

thing to the original owner." "What are you talking about? ? " "

I said what is not important, you should go. "juvenile point distance, golden mast shining in the moonlight bright and clean, white sheets already full sail, waves goddess hair bow slightly also dressed in bright moonlight .

"Who are you?"

"Look at the mirror. Everyone has a monster in his heart."

Fourth

, I woke up the next morning. I seemed to have a tired dream, but I couldn't remember the plot. My chest is a little bit painful, take a closer look at Youdao's faint scar. Forget it, it's important to go to work. Board the train that you have to take every day and look at the direction. Yes, the direction of Moon City at the terminal is correct. Sitting across from me was a teenager, with bright eyes under a felt hat looking at me, draped in a wet poncho, and fresh mud on his dew-stained shoes.

"Next stop, don't return to the sea." The electronic newspaper station rang.

A girl at the door felt inexplicably familiar. I suddenly wanted to take her hand and rush towards the unknown future, to find the lamp that could light up my life and complete a new self. But in the end I only said "Hello" and watched her walk out of the subway car.
