All living beings in hell

Chapter 153 - Mr. Nut

The lotus lantern at the entrance was lit up, and the office welcomed the one hundred and seventh guest.

The door was opened a thin crack, and a small figure flashed past behind the door.The figure rushed into the office and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Please sit down and talk."

A pair of eyes on the top of the bookshelf in front of the wall glowed dimly, as if some unknown creature was cautiously observing in the shadows.

"It's okay, please come to the chair and talk."

A mature male voice sounded hoarse, like a regular smoker: "I want to talk here."

"You're there, I can't see you, it's not good for my work." I explained.

"I'm a little scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

"You look horrible."

"I won't take the initiative to hurt you, I promise."

A small head poked out from the shadows and looked at me, with a suspicious voice: "You promise?"

"I promise."

The small figure fell down from the bookshelf, and appeared on the wooden chair in the blink of an eye.I took a closer look and saw that it was a little squirrel with gray fur and big tail.The squirrel's two paws trembled slightly on its chest, and it still looked very nervous.

"What should I call you?" I tried to keep my tone soft and gentle, not wanting to scare the little animal in front of me.

"Mr. Nut, that's what the girls who fed me in the park called me. They called me Mr. Nut. There was also an old man who called me 'Ahui'."

I wrote down on the paper: Mr. Nut, also known as Ash.

"Then what would you like me to call you?"

"Mr. Nut, Mr. Nut sounds good."

"Alright Mr. Nut, why did you come to see me today?"

"I'm so hungry, I want to eat hazelnuts."

I gently rested the end of the quill on my temple: "Hazelnuts, I don't have any hazelnuts here, and I don't have any nuts."

Mr. Nut's small ears with white hair drooped down, and his eyes were full of disappointment.

"I have... tea."

"I don't eat tea."

"Then I don't have anything here, I'm really sorry."

Mr. Nut twitched his nose, and suddenly burst into tears: "I want to go back to the garden in the middle of the street. There is nothing to eat here. Everyone looks terrible. They all want to eat me."

Little tears flowed down his bulging cheeks, and the little paws wiped their tears while crying.

"How did you get here?" I asked.

"I, I was run over by a car. When I woke up, I was on the big tree in front of your door. There was a number plate on the trunk, so I took it. Later I learned that if you have a number plate, you can come to the tree house to find someone Play, I want to find someone, because someone will give me something to eat."

"Apart from this big tree, have you ever been to any other place in hell?"

"I didn't dare to go far. The furthest I ran up was just as soon as I got off the tree. It's scary under the tree. There are many strange-looking animals circling around the tree. They all look so fierce."

"Oh, you should be talking about ghosts."

"I want to go back to Jiexin Garden, can I go back to Jiexin Garden?"

"This is not something I can do. I am not an official in charge of this matter."

"Then, who should I go to?"

"Do you know Granny Meng?"

"do not know."

The little squirrel continued to cry, and I watched it suffer.Want to comfort, but do not know how to comfort.I want to take him to find Granny Meng, but I always feel that it is inappropriate to disturb my colleagues with this kind of thing.

"If you can't go back to Jiexin Garden, where do you want to go?" I asked.

Mr. Nut looked at me, stunned for three seconds, and then cried even harder: "Wow, can't you go back! Can't you go back forever! Woooo!"

"Your life experience in that life is over. To be precise, you can't go back. Even if you go back, there is no way to go back with your previous body."

"Wooooow, I've only lived for less than three years, and I'm still very young..."

"No way, the end is the end. Do you want to think about where you plan to go and what to do?"

"But, but, I don't know of any place other than the Gardens. I haven't been out of the Gardens, and I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Wild cats, dogs, weasels, owls, even seagulls, will eat me."

"If you are in hell, you don't have a physical body anymore, so you don't have to worry about being hunted... because there is no concept of death here, and likewise, there is no concept of life."

"What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, you are invincible. Even if you are eaten, you will not die."

"Why not die?"

"Because you have died to the point where you can no longer die, and now you are in the state of a soul, and the soul is immortal."

"That is to say, even if a wild cat comes to pounce on me now, I will not be killed?"

"Yes. Your habit of fearing wild cats has continued until now, but in fact, wild cats can't pose any threat to you now, so you don't have to be afraid."

"But I'm still scared..."

I thought for a while, and stretched out my hand to Mr. Nut: "I'll take you to hell for a walk, and see what the world looks like except for gardens and big trees in the middle of the street."

"I don't want it, it's terrible."

"You can't live in this big tree forever, can you? And there are no nuts on the big tree. Maybe we can find nuts as we walk around."

The little squirrel's eyes lit up: "Can we really find nuts?"

"Maybe there is? Come on, go for a walk."

Mr. Nut jumped onto my palm, climbed along my forearm all the way to my shoulder, buckled his four claws on the clothes, and lay there.I sorted out my official uniform and put the quill pen in the drawer.Get up and walk out of the office.

The outside wind blows, Mr. Nut's little paws gripped a little tighter.His little furry head was hidden in my long hair, carefully observing the surroundings through the gap between the hair strands.

"Get ready, we're going down the tree."

Green energy overflowed from the bracelet, wrapped around my body, and I fell gently from the branch to the ground.Mr. Nut has shrunk into a small ball, and the sound of a rodent squeak is coming out of his mouth.

"Should we continue to move forward!" Mr. Nut asked tremblingly.

"There is a sea of ​​blood ahead, do you want to see it?"

"What is a sea of ​​blood?"

"It's the red sea."

"What is the sea?"

"It's just a lot of water, and the water has tides, and it will wash the earth back and forth."

"I don't like water."

"Then do you want to go to the market?"

"What is a market?"

"It's just that there are many ghosts, monsters, and snakes, and there are also humans. Everyone sells weird things there, which is quite fun."

"I don't like crowded places."

While talking, I walked in the opposite direction to the big tree.The farther away from the big tree, the more nervous Mr. Nut is.His fluffy body was shaking so badly, I put my hands on his body to comfort him gently, I was really afraid that he would faint like this.

"I...I...let's go back..."

"You haven't seen anything yet, so you're going back?"

"I don't want to see it anymore, let's go back."

"OK then."

This time, I was a little depressed, and felt disappointed that my travel plan had been canceled for no reason.I took three steps and two steps, and returned to the office.

The moment I stepped into the office, Mr. Nut jumped off my shoulder and rushed to the corner under the wooden table, completely hiding himself in the shadows.

I squatted down and tilted my head to look at him: "Scared?"

"It's...it's scary..."

"Then why don't you stay in the big tree first? Is there a hole in the big tree where you can hide?"

"Yes, there are tree holes."

"But there are no nuts to eat, what shall we do?"

"No...it doesn't matter..."

"Okay, do you want to go back to the big tree now?"

"Now, not now, I can't move."

I recall that some rodents do go into convulsions when violently frightened.I put some cold water in a small pottery dish and put it beside it: "Drink some water?"

"I, I can't move."

I held the pottery plate in one hand and picked up Mr. Nut with the other, so that his nose and mouth were as close to the water surface as possible.Mr. Nut stuck out his little tongue and quickly licked it.

As he gulped down the water, Mr. Nut's stiff body gradually softened.First, the five-fingered paws on the chest opened and closed, as if slowly regaining consciousness.The hind legs also kicked up quickly, and the blasted back hair calmed down.

"Feeling better?"

"I, I want to sleep."

"Then go to sleep in the big tree?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Mr. Nut had already closed his eyes and fell asleep.He looked exhausted, breathing evenly with his chest rising and falling.The small mouth was slightly opened, revealing sharp die teeth.

I held him in my hand, opened the door of the office, and walked into the canopy.Today's wind is very cool, hell has recently begun to cool down, and the previous heat has eased a lot.

The branches and leaves are layered on top of each other. Looking from the inside to the outside, for a moment I mistakenly think that I am in a national reserve.I scanned back and forth between the branches, trying to find a suitable tree hole for Mr. Nut.

At this time, the little squirrel in his hand shook twice.Mr. Nut yawned big and stretched.

"Where are we?"

"We're in the big tree."

"Why are we in the big tree?"

"I want to take you back to the tree hole."

Mr. Nut stood up from my palm and looked around.Suddenly, I kicked my hind legs hard and flew directly from my hand into the big tree.

It didn't stay for a moment, and before I said goodbye, it disappeared into the canopy.
