《迪斯尼渡口的冰封山梁、復活的黝黑鯉魚與錯過的班船》

2023年5月：

乘渡船過了一條不寬的河，說是去迪斯尼。隨著人流往前走，途中有幾家涼亭棚子搭成的小吃鋪，裡面有人在講故事。

右方有一個比較陡峭的高坡，大約有一兩層樓高。我也走過去跟著爬。腳下並沒有路，泥地已經開始結凍，泥土呈現的不是黑色而是白雪，但並不蓬鬆。我高一腳低一腳地爬上斜坡，發現上面原來是一道窄窄的山梁，放眼望去是一片銀乾坤、玉世界。

這時，有幾條似乎是剛剛被凍住了的魚從下面蹦了上來，其中一條魚還艱難地動了動嘴巴。我伸手把那條魚抓了過來，放進口袋裡，接著又順手抓了一個凍疙瘩放進另一個口袋。

我立馬轉身下來朝著渡口走去。沒過多久，口袋裡的那兩個小傢伙在體溫下漸漸暖了過來。我掏出來一看，原來一隻是烏龜，身子比一般的烏龜要稍長一點兒；另一條是鯉魚。牠們此時的鱗甲都變得黝黑滑亮。

我開始到處找水，心裡害怕牠們會渴死。在一家小食店的後廚裡，我找到幾個杯子，裡面剩有小半杯水。我把牠們放進去喝水。

隨後我匆匆趕到碼頭，此時一班渡船剛好啟航離開。我在碼頭等了下一班船，這才過了河。

The Frozen Ridge at the Disney Ferry, the Revived Black Carp, and the Missed Boat

I took a ferry across a narrow river, bound for Disney. Moving forward with the crowd, I passed several snack stalls set up under pavilion sheds, where people were telling stories inside.

To the right rose a fairly steep slope, about one or two stories high. I walked over and began to climb it. There was no path underfoot; the muddy ground had begun to freeze, and the soil appeared not black but filled with white snow, though it was not powdery. Trudging unevenly up the slope, I discovered that the top was a narrow mountain ridge—a vast, panoramic world of silver and jade.

Just then, several fish that seemed to have just been frozen leaped up onto the ridge; one of them was still feebly moving its mouth. I reached out, caught the fish, and slipped it into my pocket, then casually grabbed a frozen clod of earth and put it in my other pocket.

I turned around immediately, heading back down toward the ferry. Before long, the two little creatures in my pockets began to warm up against my body. When I pulled them out, I discovered that one was a turtle, its shell slightly longer than usual, and the other was a carp. Their scales and armor were now a glossy, polished pitch-black.

I began searching everywhere for water, terrified that they would perish of thirst. In the back kitchen of a small eatery, I found a few cups containing a fraction of a cup of water. I placed them inside to drink.

Afterward, I hurried to the pier, but a ferry had just unmoored and departed. I waited for the next scheduled boat before finally crossing the river.
