On the contrary, the bullying, all kinds of mutant creatures in this world, show the original lowest animal nature On the one hand, the ogre brought a man to one of their group camps, "Not only flowers, even humans are not immune, I am an example, this is the consequence of human folly, the nature we love is gone forever. , the birds, animals, and fish are all gone..." When talking about their population, he said: "Their virtues may be better than death. This is purgatory, which is worse than death. They beg for death. No, this is the punishment they must accept, immortality, tortured by their own sins, and eternal life." For two minutes of continuous footage, the ogres gathered together and suffered from the flesh and the soul. Painful torment, reminiscent of what only hell can appear.
A series of short and frightening dreams, one can't help but wonder, in the last dream, what kind of nightmare will be exquisite?

The calm and beautiful harmony between man and nature is reflected everywhere in the village. "We try to live according to the old ways, because that's the most natural thing. Modern people forget that they are only part of nature, but they destroy nature on which we live. They always think they can improve The world, especially those scholars, who may be brilliant, but mostly do not understand the true meaning of nature. They only invent things that will make people unhappy in the end, and they are complacent. Worse, most people , and also regard these inventions as miracles and regard them as gods. What they don't know is that they have gradually lost nature, and they don't know that they are going to perish. For human beings, the most important thing is to be clean The air and water sources, and those trees and plants that we depend on for a living, are all dirty and permanently polluted, and dirty air, dirty water, and polluted human hearts." A village chief so said.
It was a funeral, and from there came people's joyous music and dance like a celebration. This is the "happy funeral" of this village. "This is very good. I worked hard when I was alive, and my life is over. Thanks to the villagers, relatives and friends, there are no temples, no monks, all the villagers carry their bodies to the cemetery on the mountain... The villagers all live a life in accordance with nature, and when they get older, they will die naturally." After that, the elder changed into bright clothes, held a joyful bell and a bunch of wildflowers representing tranquility, and joined the farewell team. Before leaving, he left a passage: "Some people say that life is hard, but they have no intentions. In fact, it is good to live, and life is wonderful."
This is love, nature, and peace.
