Now, a question that is becoming more and more vague to me is: is it a dog named Tully who is lost, or a man named Gu Licheng who is lost. Was it me who was looking for a dog named Tully, or was a dog named Tully who was looking for me? I pushed the old car away a little, squatted down, opened my arms and hugged the wall, just like I hugged Tully, and pressed my face against a stone. I thought I heard Tully whine. When I turned back to look for Tully, I suddenly remembered that when we stood here and looked at the scene on the street, the bright sunlight came over and shone on Tully and me. Those sunlight would definitely print our shadows on the wall. The shadow of Tully's head is often printed on the stone facing my face. Her eyes would follow the movement of pedestrians or vehicles on the street, and the shadows printed on the wall would move accordingly.

Sun Mantang pointed to the water and said, "Teach me how I jumped into the water to catch ducks." What I'm saying is, if you're afraid of the cold, forget it. The water in early spring was still chilly to the bone. After Li Manqiang took off his clothes, he tested the water with his feet. He quickly took his feet back. Sun Mantang behind him returned to his relaxed demeanor. He smiled and said, "It's cold, so don't go down." Li Manqiang moved his arms. The surface of the water now looked nothing like a mirror, but more like a bottomless abyss. He had to jump into the abyss, and jumped in willingly. As he moved, he said to himself, "It's not cold, not cold at all. Let me take a breath." Unable to hesitate any longer, he took a deep breath and jumped into the water. The water was not as cold as he thought. When the water reached his shoulders, he even felt a warm current flowing under his feet. He heard Sun Mantang laughing loudly behind him. The laughter was not harsh at all. He felt that people should laugh like this.
