"I hope I never get better so I can be with you all the time," five-year-old Alexandra told Roy.
Roy sighed helplessly. He had been in the hospital for several days. Earlier, he was acting as a stand-in for a movie star and was injured while shooting a scene of horse jumping off a bridge, resulting in complete paralysis of his lower body. Meanwhile, his girlfriend abandoned him at this time.
But the five-year-old child in front of him naively said that he was willing to accompany him.
All of this made him despair and pain like fate. What made him desperate was not only the loss of his legs and the loss of his girlfriend, but the fighting spirit that no longer ignited deep in his heart. How is it different from dying? But what's even sadder is that he doesn't even have the ability to commit suicide.
So, he wanted to use the little girl Alexandra to steal the drug morphine and end his life.
The first time Alexandra successfully stole morphine , but Alexandra poured the medicine down the toilet and only left three pills. He angrily asked her why, Alexandra said what you asked me to steal is: morphin3 , doesn't it mean to steal only three grains?
The second time Roy asked Alexandra to steal the medicine from Walt's cabinet, the patient opposite the bed. He finished a bottle of medicine and thought he could die, but woke up the next day. It turned out that Walt was not sick at all, and the doctor gave Walt just a bottle of candy.
The desperate Roy finally couldn't restrain the despair in his heart. He screamed and screamed, frightening Alexandra who was beside him. But Alexandra did not resent Roy, she always believed that a mysterious messenger would come out of the tree to help Roy.
This is the character mentioned in the story Roy told him. There will be a mysterious messenger. He is omnipotent in Roy's story. He can take the masked man in the story to defeat the evil Odias. .
How could the young and ignorant Alexandra know that Roy was using her curiosity about the story to use her to steal medicine. He said to Alexandra: "I don't want you to spend your whole life guessing how it will end. The hesitant Alexandra agreed to Roy's request. She wanted to be a good robber, and she also hoped that Roy could have medicine to help him sleep.
More importantly, she likes to listen to Roy's stories, she hopes that the masked man can destroy Odias, she hopes that the masked man can fall in love with Evelyn, and she wants to be by Roy's side all the time.
The story is just a story after all, a character that Roy can easily pick up, but in Alexandra, she imagined it so real and profound. She was so fascinated by this story that she even mapped the real characters to Roy's story one by one.
The slave Ota Banga in the story, because his brother died in hard labor for Odias, hated him so much that he vowed to kill Odias. The prototype of this slave is exactly what Alexandra encounters every morning, the black man who delivers ice.
The Indian in the story, whose wife was kidnapped by Odias, committed suicide because of his unwilling wife. The angry Indian vowed to never give another woman a single glance, and vowed to kill Odias with his own hands. The prototype of this Indian is an Indian friend in Alexandra's orange orchard, and she understands Roy's words as an Indian.
Luigi, the bomb expert in the story, was captured in public by the evil Odias. When the released Luigi returned home, he found that Odias had forbidden his fellow villagers to talk to him, and even the priest had abandoned him. , so he vowed to kill Odias with his own hands. The prototype of this bomb expert is the lame man Alexandra saw who came to visit Roy.
Darwin, the animal scientist in the story, loves all creatures and has a smart and shy monkey. Darwin is looking for a very rare "New American Butterfly", but the hateful thing is that Odias sent Darwin a Only a specimen of the "New American Butterfly", Odias killed the butterfly, Darwin was so angry that he vowed to kill Odias himself. Darwin's prototype is the pharmacist who dispenses medicine in a pharmacy.
The mysterious man in the story, the lush forest surrounding his original home, and the flock of birds, but was destroyed by Odias, he is willing to fight together with the governor of Odias and the Spanish henchmen. The prototype of this mysterious man is the old man Alexandra met in the hospital. Roy told him that the old man's dentures contained all his energy.
The princess Evelyn in the story is the fiancee of Odias. Her prototype is the nurse who takes care of Alexandra in the hospital.
The ghost-faced soldier who barked like a dog in the story was, in reality, a staff member in an X-ray chamber protective suit that Alexandra saw in the hospital.
And the bravest masked red man in the story, he is looking for Odias to save his brother, masked blue man, who was captured by him. In reality, the prototype of the masked man was Alexandra's father at first, and later, Alexandra gradually regarded the masked man as Roy.
Children's imaginations are always so colorful, so the pictures we see in the stories are so beautiful and dreamy.
But in Roy's eyes, a story is just a story, it's just a tool used to deceive Alexandra's favor. When Alexandra went to steal medicine for Roy for the last time and accidentally fell and hurt her head, Roy didn't know whether to be moved or ridiculous. He cried to Alexandra and said: Those stories are fake, just to get you to help me.
Alexandra still wanted to hear Roy finish the story. Under Alexandra's begging, Roy cried bitterly. He said that his story, like his own, had no happy ending.
Sad Alexandra tells Roy a secret: Evelyn, the nurse at the hospital, has an affair with someone else, and she just pretends to love you, just like your ex-girlfriend.
At this time, can Roy not despair in his heart? His painful expression could not hide his broken heart, and the passionate music sounded. He wanted to kill all the characters in the story, but none of them would survive! Darwin, Mysterious Man, Slave Ota Banga, Bomb Expert Luigi, Indians, they all have to die!
Alexandra cried even more, she begged Roy not to let them die, she said: This is your story, it is my story, this is our story.
Roy's heart melted. He never imagined that he who wanted to end his life was redeemed by a five-year-old girl. Finally he said to Alexandra calmly: We are a strange couple, aren't we?
Roy fell, he fell from the bridge, he fell after losing his girlfriend, he felt that life lost its meaning, and the setbacks he experienced made his will also fall.
Alexandra also fell. She climbed the orange tree and fell, and fell again after stealing medicine. The adults took advantage of the psychological fall, but she did not give up at all.
It turns out that the glass heart of an adult is no stronger than the heart of a five-year-old child.
- Are you here to save my soul?
- What is the soul?
- That's something like power.
Thank you for saving my festering soul.
Thank you for giving me the strength to live.
