148 Chapter 148
The sparse trees look like giants standing in the vast fields, the outstretched branches and leaves are like big umbrellas sheltering the scattered houses around them, the golden thatch reflects the dazzling light in the sunlight, the earthy yellow brick walls are not so clean, from a distance, it looks like a raised earthen bag, and it is not a very neat building.
The fence made of wooden stakes was very rough, and the parts that had been in contact with the soil for a long time stubbornly poked out the roots, and some young shoots appeared at the top again, so that the breath of spring also blew on the fence, and even the cry of sheep seemed to become sweet.
From a distance, the sheep look like white clouds, but up close, they are not so white, and the slightly yellowish fur is stained with some other colors, the green ones may be the branches and leaves of some kind of plant, and the black ones below may be muddy water or other dirt.
Even the pale yellow on the coat color did not seem to be very uniform, but no one cared about this, and from time to time people walking barefoot on the grass would step on the excrement of some animals, not just sheep, maybe people, but they didn't mind, all of them were dressed in linen clothes, their thick arms were blackened by the sun for a long time, and their faces were rough like the gravel road leading to the city, but their smiles were bright, just like the warm sun.
"Xie Qian, your name is really strange, why do you have such a strange name. โ
The strong man with his upper body โกโก wiped the sweat from his forehead as he spoke, and a sheep passed by him, and he slapped the sheep's buttocks, causing a burst of bleating, "Look at these sheep, how good, the people in the city like mutton the most, they will definitely like it." โ
"Oh, what did I just say, well, why are you telling the truth to Peach? Isn't it good to pretend to be her brother?
Peach is a girl's name, her eyes were taken back by the gods because they were too beautiful, as a blind girl, a blind girl in an ordinary village, her life is not easy, fortunately she has a good brother, Honey's brother Kai is a strong man, all along, he is raising his sister, not long ago, he went to the deep forest, and then the news of death came.
The people in the same village couldn't bear to let Mi lose hope, so they didn't tell her the news, and when they were hesitating, Xie Qian came to the village in embarrassment.
Peach couldn't see it, thinking that this was her brother coming back, so she pounced on it and called the name "Kai", and the anxiety on her face turned into joy, regardless of the tears that flowed down the corners of her eyes.
"How can one person pretend to be another? Do I look alike that Kai? Or do we all speak in the same voice?" Xie Qian said unhurriedly, these days, he has become accustomed to being questioned like this, this is not an accusation, more like a complaint, a sigh after disappointment.
The strong man didn't speak again, in fact, even though Xie Qian was also strong, he and Kai were still different, and the different looks didn't matter to Honey, because she couldn't see, but the voice, no one could deceive a blind person's hearing.
They all knew the truth, but when the young man pointed it out and told the truth, they were all a little angry, or angry.
What a lovely girl Peach was, how could he bear to see her so sad?
That clever and lovely girl, who was so sad, still spoke for him, and left this stranger, who might have just come to ask for directions, and still takes him in to this day.
"It's always your reasoning, what else will you do besides these reasoning!" said the strong man, kicking the sheep beside him.
These captive sheep do not know how to be afraid of people at all, and often walk past people, and even if they are kicked, they only bleat twice, speeding up their walking.
Children often like to run after the sheepdogs, rush over them, pounce on one of them, and then pounce on the other one after the other person is scared and run away.
As time goes by, children grow into adults, and sheep from generation to generation seem to be accustomed to these pursuits, and do not resist for this, but meekly change directions, and they are used to this kind of management.
"Perhaps, sheep herding?"
Xie Qian had never done such a thing before, and when he was at his lowest, he had never lived in this kind of place that was not much different from a toilet - forgive him for being so rude, it was really those low houses, no better than toilets, they never went to the outside of the house to make it convenient, and any place in the house, maybe they could sprinkle a little dirt?
All kinds of casual life, completely regardless of the hygienic environment, and the habit of mixed living between men and women, maybe everything is normal in their opinion, even including those chaotic relationships between men and women, but Xie Qian doesn't like it, if he can, of course he will choose to leave, but life in the city is said to be not wonderful.
I don't know what kind of standard the one who exists secretly gives him the appearance of a standard beautiful man, and in this era, he also has a physique that looks very strong, and in fact is very strong, but since he is not idle enough to compete with bison, and he does not want to be a bed guest of a certain noblewoman, then why should he go to the city?
After learning about the city from the chatter of the villagers, Xie Qian was not going to go to the stone city to have a look, because the identity of the commoners was like the sheep they raised, but they were just meat in the mouths of the nobles, and they could just be dragged out when they wanted to eat it.
Nothing is guaranteed except bloodline, except for the surname.
Perhaps, and faith.
Yes, how can there be no faith in the world of angels and demons? People are willing to spend years, even decades, and hundreds of years building temples, just for the miracle of some god in their mouths, and they are willing to kneel before those stone statues and pray for everything, just to get spiritual comfort.
When you are happy and need to be grateful, when you are sad you need to pray, when you are in pain, you need to pray, and when you really need help, maybe there is such a god, who is idle and bored and just happens to help?
Based on Xie Qian's personal experience, this is not impossible, and he is obviously not a special case.
"It would be nice if he could get the love of the god of wine, and because of the love of the god of wine, the boy Ge Fei was able to make the most beautiful wine, and now he has become the most famous wine master in the palace. โ
"So what, I believe in the God of Light, and one day, he will hear my heart and make me the driver of the Flying Carriage, and at that time, I will fly over your heads, but I will never be like that fool like Luthor, who let go of the reins out of joy and deserved to be a falling fireball!"
"I have always felt that Peach should go to the temple of the god of beauty as a maidservant, and sincerely serve the god of love and beauty, and maybe she will receive divine grace and become more beautiful, and then she will be able to go to the city and find a noble child, who likes beautiful little girls the most, just like Aisha last year, she did that. โ
Divine grace, all of which is a gift from God.
To be precise, all the good things are God's gifts, and the bad ones are God's tests, and if they really die unfortunately, they are only guided by the devil.
On the land, in the land where the sun shines, no one believes in demons, they despise, spit on, and reject the existence of even one word, however, how can there be no shadow in the world that the sun cannot shine?
The nobles at the top of the pyramid are willing to trade power with demons.
In the plot, the winged angel met such a person, and it was because of that person that he met the entangled demon, and finally achieved the love story of the angel and the demon, accompanied by the complete withdrawal of the two races from human history.
The incomplete plot does not explain why the angel lost his wings, and he also did not deliberately start from a certain point of view, Xie Qian has his own guess about this different point from the past, perhaps this is because his appearance at the beginning broke the arrangement of the system and became a character outside the plot, so that he can see this story from the perspective of a third party.
The whole story, Xie Qian has read it many times, the name of that city is also the reason why he stayed in this village, that city, just in front of the gravel road, is only more than an hour away from here, such a distance, not far or close, the news is quite well-informed.
From becoming a human being and finding yourself in the deep forest, from walking out of the deep forest to discovering this village, to discovering that the nearest city is the one mentioned in the plot, everything seems to have been arranged a long time ago, so that people can't find a description other than "coincidence".
Xie Qian sometimes wondered if that powerful being, since he was able to attack the system to take away the angel's heart and remove the demonic qi that confused him, then, if that person could also know some or all of these plots, and then place himself in such a place in a planned way, as if he had placed a chess piece, and then quietly watched what kind of chess path this chess piece would take, and whether it was in line with his expectations.
Or, there is no expectation at all, what he wants to see is a play, whether sad or happy.
Such thoughts often make Xie Qian feel negative again, why did he work so hard to show others?
Because of this thought, he didn't want to do anything, he didn't want to follow them to farm, even if the level of that kind of field seemed to him to be the same as relying on the sky to eat, and he didn't want to pray with them, believe in some god, and then be played with by him, and become the object of envy in the eyes of others.
Lazily spent his days lazily until his stomach roared on this day, and then when he was faced with the black bread that was hard enough as a stone again, Xie Qian bent down and walked out of the thatched hut, turned to say goodbye to the peach, and began to walk towards the city step by step. 166 Reading Network
