She said to her sister, "The fire is out, do you smell it?" This fire was so big, it burned for a day and a night. All the trees died, and Kubuqi turned into a desert again. They used to be as thick as my thighs, but now they're thinner than a child's neck. The tree lay on the ground, densely packed, and there was no end in sight. The desert is burning hot, do you feel it? I know why you don't want to go out, my heart is bleeding. Why are you still crying? Like people and trees, there is a certain amount of water, and when your tears dry up, you will be blind. I don't want to go into town again.
She said to her sister, when will such a day be a head? I don't dare to believe you anymore. You said we would be able to defeat the desert, and I had been planting trees behind your ass for the past ten years, only to realize that it was more scary than the desert. Is your heart made of iron? How can Kubuzi be turned into a forest?
She said to her sister, "I have dreamed of the sacred tree you dreamed of, and it grows so tall that its top can reach up to the sky." The foliage is so dense that the sun can't penetrate it. Sitting under the sacred tree, I dreamed of the path you dreamed of, and it stretched out from my eyes to the end of the desert. I have never seen such a clean and wide road, like a blue hada paved on the ground. I finally understand what you're thinking, as long as the tree survives, people will have a way. With a road, people won't be trapped here.
Her sister told her that this was not originally a desert. In the early days, it was an ocean, and all kinds of strange and large fish roamed in the depths of the sea, some with wings, some as thin as paper, and some as nearly transparent. She said, "Where did all the water go?" My sister said that in the earliest days, the land was all connected. Then the earth was torn apart, and became piece by piece, and scattered in all directions. And the water leaked out, under their feet, on the other side of the earth.
Her sister told her that when it became land, it was full of fields with abundant water and grass and swamps surrounded by towering trees. The strange fish also came ashore and grew limbs, fur and claws, and became the rare birds and beasts of the ancient books, such as the flying tiger, the elephant with the mane, and the gray monkey that breathed fire. Later, when they came to Kubuqi, they cut down the forests and planted crops. They round up wild beasts and make them into jerky. Most of the animals are extinct.
The elder sister told her that as the people became stronger and more people came to Kubuqi, they also brought war. At first they fought with iron weapons, then with firearms, and the people fought over and over again, as if they could never finish fighting. They tossed back and forth in Kubuqi, the forest became extinct, and the river dried up. It's a desert.
Like the desert where they grew up, the elder sister is silent in dealing with all kinds of pain, nightmares and farces, but she is also the most respectable opponent of the desert. Over and over again, he watched the saplings he had planted with his own hands die, and over and over again digging new tree pits. Although they look exactly the same, Kubuqi's parents and fellow villagers all say that they can tell who is the elder sister and who is the younger sister by looking at the eyes of the two. She is also curious about the outside, looking at new people and things, listening to songs, and thinking about what love is. My sister is different, when I rest, my sister always looks at the sky. Whoever spoke to her, she squinted her eyes and smiled softly in approval, as if planting trees was all she had on mind. Even though she was in tears, her sister hid in a place where others couldn't see her. Like the early morning after a light rain, the trees shake with the wind and shake off the rain that falls on the branches.
In the first few years, people thought the two little girls were crazy. How many ancestors have not done what they have not done for thousands of years, can they do it? Whenever the saplings they planted dried up and died, people said that there was always only sand to press people, and no one had driven sand since ancient times. She heard her sister say to them, "I'd rather die of sand than scare me to death."
One day, my sister woke her up from her sleep and said that a sandstorm was coming. She put on her clothes, stumbled out of the house with her sister, rushed into the sand, and saw dozens of acres of sand willow saplings lying crookedly on the ground, all crushed to death by the dust storm. She turned around to comfort her sister, but found that only billowing sand and dust obscured the sky behind her. She shouted loudly, but as soon as the voice burst out of her mouth, it was torn to pieces by the wind. The storm tugged at her body like a big hand, pushing her farther away from home. She fell off the dune, stood up to find her forehead broken, and completely disoriented.
The storm had subsided, but she had reached the heart of the desert. It was late at night, and she looked up at the starry sky, and the stars were as bright as the wind blew away all the dust of the world. Crying and running drained all her strength, the cold left her alone, and at some point, she fell to the ground and passed out. In the dream, she dreamed that her sister was sleeping under a huge tree, with the same tear stains hanging from the corners of her eyes. The tree was tall and stout, each leaf glittering, and the branches crisscrossed the air like a dome. She dreamed of the call in her sister's heart, where are you? Where are you? She answered her sister's call in this wonderful dream, I am here, I am here. She said you walked through three sand gullies, climbed over three sand dunes, and under the three brightest stars, I lay there and fell asleep. She dreamed that her sister stood up and followed her instructions, walking through three ravines and over three dunes. She dreamed that her sister said to her, "The stars in the sky are bright, and I can't find the three brightest you said." She began to sing in a dream:
Take advantage of the two iron green horses to get fat
Comfort them before leaving
The fate of the shepherd in this life
It's just wandering on the prairie
Nursed in the middle of the rocks
The chick of a goshawk
What kind of power is it, exactly
Let them linger on the grasslands
She said, "Do you hear my singing?" My sister nodded and said I taught you this song. She dreamed that her sister began to sing the next stanza of the song:
Grown in swamps
Beautiful lotus
What kind of power is it, exactly
Let them sway from side to side
The voices of the two maidens were intertwined, and even the vast desert and the merciless north wind could not stop the song. The singing of the two people is getting closer and closer, and the heartbeats of the two people are getting louder and louder. She opened her eyes and saw her sister standing in front of her, with undried tears in the corners of her eyes......
