"People always come alone, and they have to go alone. ”

This sentence was what Yan Che's mother, Zhao Lingniang, had said to him. There is a second half of this sentence, saying that the process of life must not be lonely. But in Yan Che's opinion, he has experienced a whole hundred years, and in a hundred years, he feels lonely all the time. I thought that I had a lot of friends, a new family in the new world, and I could achieve a happy life that my parents couldn't do at the beginning, and not let my relatives and friends be separated. But his longing was already in vain, and Fu Qinggu, who was pregnant, chose to return to his hometown alone without saying hello to him, unwilling to be with him.

Although they are still there one by one, by their side or far away from them, at least they are still there, and they can only comfort themselves with "at least".

There is still a month to go until the New Year, and that is the time when humans use specific festivals to distinguish a period of time. There are three hundred and sixty-five days in the year, and at the end of the three hundred and sixty-five days is the new year. And at the last moment of the new year, people will put down all the work and things at hand, stay with their families, and quietly wait for the arrival of the new year. But the family chose to go away alone, and could only go alone to welcome the New Year. This kind of New Year's flavor is heart-wrenching.

There are no festivals in the lives of the demons, and time has no specific meaning to them. Just like the birds and animals on the earth, they will not stop hunting because it is the Spring Festival in a few days. The goal of these animals, created by the water gods, is only to survive and find a mate, and to perpetuate their genes. Human beings, on the other hand, use their own whimsy to light up various rituals that can add color to their lives in the midst of their dull and boring lives.

For example, marriage, which is a unique ritual for human beings, is used to prove that a man and a woman become a couple. In the animal world, as long as one party nods, followed by androgyny, there is no ceremony or way of celebration. Human beings will be happy because a man and a woman are married, which is something that they can't get along, but they will share their happiness and experience the sadness of others.

Speaking of getting married, Yan Che recalled that he and Fu Qinggu got married only four or five months ago. At that time, he had not yet experienced the joy of getting married, and he was just curious about why everyone who came to the wedding had a smile on their face. He also asked his uncle Yan Tiege if he was as happy for his parents as he was when his parents got married.

At that time, Yan Tiege was actually lying, and he was not happy at the time, but extremely disappointed. But his answer to Yan Che was as happy as a human. There are so many things about human life that are different from the demons, and it takes time to get used to them, but Yan Che always felt that he was pressed for time. Perhaps it was this sense of oppression that forced Fu Qinggu to leave him, although it may be temporary.

That night, Yan Che slept alone. He recalled that during the day, he was not like his usual self at all, it was his hidden self in the deepest part of his heart, the state that did not exist, and the experience in the world was forced out bit by bit. When he used the hidden black shadow to create a sword qi to pierce Mrs. Yan Qinghou's heart, even though he knew that it was fake, it was as if he had really killed an innocent person. It's no wonder that after seeing these pictures, even though Fu Qinggu knew that these were all performed, he still couldn't bear this pressure in his heart. Yan Che thought that night that if he didn't have the mercy left by Nuwa, then he would now be a truly sinful and lawless demon. And after a demon like him continues to destroy the gods who exist in the world, who else will be able to stop him?

It's no wonder that the more people look forward to the hero's appearance, the more they wonder if the hero will become the next demon.

I've been used to sleeping alone, and I've been repeating it for 99 years, but when I came to the world this year, after sharing a bed with others, sleeping will be particularly difficult. The picture in the dream will always be like a rooster announcing the dawn of the morning, waking him up from his sleep. When he woke up, Yin stood up from the side of the bed and asked how he was. He covered his forehead and suddenly said that he was very confused, whether everything was his own arbitrariness, so that no one understood him now. Although he knows that there will be people who don't understand him, it's really uncomfortable not to be understood, even if the other party is just a human with fragile life.

comforted him, and actually used the saying of the world to say that it would be a new day when he woke up, and yesterday's unsatisfactory would pass. also let Yan Che try to experience human life, after all, although human beings only have a lifespan of a few decades, everyone seems to live to the fullest.

Yan Che nodded, he didn't expect that his friend who was with him would persuade him like a mentor. When he woke up the next day, he wanted to stop the pace of rectifying the world and experience the various states of life first.

The next day, Yan Che came to take Fu Qinggu outside the door of the room, and as soon as Fu Qinggu opened the door, he saw Yan Che, who seemed to be flattered, and hurriedly said that he was too reckless, and actually let the demon king wait outside the door. Yan Che never cared about this kind of cliché etiquette, he only thought that he was doing something above board, and he was at ease.

Yan Che wanted to know how Jiang Mengsheng managed this new world, or he wanted to know how the current human race lived under his rule.

Jiang Mengsheng understood what Yan Che meant, so he suspended today's government affairs and let the officials of the court handle the official documents by themselves.

"Let them handle the official documents themselves, aren't they afraid that someone will make a hindrance and falsely report the truth?" Yan Che asked.

Jiang Mengsheng said with a smile: "People's hearts are indeed like this, there will always be people who want to steal some leisure in their busy lives." But that was when there was a dictatorship in the past, when the king had a monopoly on power. I'm very grateful to the Demon King for reorganizing the world, and for letting me come up with a way to make the country's clarity as flowing water, and that is public opinion. Nothing can be decided by one person, but by everyone. But even if ninety-nine people think it's a good thing, there will still be one person who finds a bad flaw. Therefore, everything will have two sides, and it also needs to be directed by public opinion. Every official has the right to choose whether a policy is good or bad, and whether it can be implemented. As long as more than seventy percent of people agree to implement it, then the policy is good. ”

"But isn't it true that 30 percent of people will not enjoy the policy because of this?"

"Yes, so all policies can only take care of the majority of people. And most of the people in the world are poor. Policies are not perfect, just as the laws of each country are different. Policies are dead, and it is difficult to vary from person to person, so we need the people's will to guide the way, so that future officials can continue to improve the policy, so that the policy that originally only 70 percent of the people will benefit will become more than 90 percent. ”

"At the end of the day, it's not 10 percent. ”

"yes, maybe it's because there's no such thing as perfect. ”

When Jiang Mengsheng and Yan Che were chatting, they had already brought him into the street market of Pei'an City. Pei On City used to be the most economically powerful country among countries, as can be seen from the bustling nature of the market. The street, which could accommodate two horse-drawn carriages running side by side, is now blocked by vendors on both sides to allow only one carriage to pass, and pedestrians have to crowd in the middle. Trading is also invented by humans, and they will know how to exchange what they have created with what others have created. Money is a substitute for their exchange, and the people who invented it are enough to see the wisdom of labor.

Many people are buying what they need from shops and vendors, the roads are full of traffic, everyone is immersed in their own world, and no one has yet discovered a single demon in this street.

Yan Che asked Jiang Mengsheng: "Was this the same here in the past?

"Not every day. There is still a month to go before the New Year, because the Lord Demon King drove away the wind and snow, and this year's winter is short, people come out to buy and prepare for a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve. That night will be the most prosperous time for every country. ”

"New Year's ...... Does it matter what it means to be human?"

Jiang Mengsheng thought about it carefully and said: "It should be, after all, people's lives come and go for only a few decades, and knowing how to cherish every day is the most distinctive thing about human beings." Loved ones, lovers, and ideals will all be pinned on that day. If you don't finish something this year, then wait for next year to bring it and redouble your efforts to complete it. In fact, the people don't need too many resources, unlike the people in the royal family in the past, who could deceive and intrigue for a throne. This kind of life has always been what I have always longed for. I actually...... I don't really like to stay in the palace. I also want to have a house of my own, and it's best to have a family to enjoy. ”

"The family is happy...... Yan Che muttered in a low voice, this wish will be a luxury for him, and he also dreams of experiencing a New Year with his parents and lover in the world, but people go to the empty building, and people go to tea and cool. Now that only his uncle and a few friends are left to rely on each other, it always makes people feel lonely.

Seeing that Yan Che didn't speak, Jiang Mengsheng suddenly thought of an idea and said to Yan Che: "Will the Demon King celebrate the New Year with us this year?

Yan Che thought that this was a good idea, but suddenly it occurred to him that the impression he wanted to leave on the human race must not be a good impression, otherwise the efforts of yesterday and the past would be in vain. He rejected Jiang Mengsheng at once, and just when he refused, the crowded street finally looked up and saw Yan Che's face. A pair of slender horns on his forehead immediately reminded the people on the street that there were demons standing here. And the one who stands is the king who rules here.

Then came the bustling street, and suddenly quieted down. People held their breath and did not dare to speak. But even if they didn't speak, Yan Che could see their inner thoughts through the eyes of their hearts, but they were all afraid of themselves. This fear is absolutely necessary, and without fear no one will overcome it. Jiang Mengsheng wanted to introduce Yan Che to the people, but Yan Che flicked her sleeves and walked away before she could speak. It was only after Yan Che had left for a long time that people broke free from their fear and returned to their busy pace.

In the royal city, the demons all looked bored, and they had just learned that Yan Che had returned from a walk around the market. When Yan Che returned, he said something unexpected to the demons.

"I want to spend a New Year on earth. ”

This sentence shocked everyone, after all, for the people of the demon race, this kind of human spontaneous practice of treating one day of the year as a day of longing is really boring. And in addition to setting off fireworks and hanging lanterns, the Chinese New Year is just a family meal, and they really can't figure out where these actions are interesting, so that everyone will be happy on this day. Yan Che naturally didn't know, so he wanted to experience it once.

He remembered that Jiang Mengsheng said that any decision needs the will of the people, that is, the crowd vote. In the future, his decisions will no longer be arbitrary, and he will listen to everyone's opinions, so he also asks everyone what they think. Some of these people want to try it, and some of them are bored. said that he wanted to celebrate the New Year, but most of them were because Yan Che wanted to celebrate the New Year and went with the flow. Yan Che then asked everyone to say what they really thought.

The green wolf was the first to speak, and he said that instead of celebrating the New Year, he wanted to be with the white wolf who was far away in the extremely cold land and had not yet married. Yan Che thought of letting the green wolf marry the white wolf first and become a family, so that he would be able to experience the taste of the New Year even more. So he first asked the green wolf to prepare to go to Beiliang Snow Mountain and marry the woman he had been waiting for for a long time.

Similarly, the married shark can also bring Ao Ji from the Hidden Dragon Country. But Yan Che thought about it, if he brought those people with him, they would also leave their original relatives. That's a bit inappropriate. So, he decided to let the green wolf go to the snow mountain and celebrate the New Year with the white wolf in the snow mountain, let the shark break the evil back to the deep sea, and celebrate the New Year with Ao Ji's family, and he even let the ghost Shili return to the underworld to celebrate the New Year with the ghosts and ghosts of the underworld, which really made the ghost Shili laugh off his big teeth.

But in the end, when it was his turn, he suddenly didn't know where he was supposed to spend the New Year.

I thought I had entered this world, but I didn't expect that this world didn't have a place to stand on my own.

Yan Tiege patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are the same, go and be with your lover." We've been with you for almost a hundred years, and to be honest, it's a little annoying. Go ahead and explain it to her. According to the human world, a husband and wife who do not quarrel are not loving couples. Everything we will start over next year and again. ”

Yan Che sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that a definition of time in the world could produce so many novel feelings in the hearts of the people of the demon race.

Yan Che is looking forward to the New Year and wants to be with the people closest to him.
