Chapter 285: No Trace, No Trace, No Dependence

Spring comes and embraces the flowers,

Summer is scorching and flying in the clouds.

The autumn moon is gloomy,

The winter snow is dancing for a long time.

The years pass like water in a stream, slowly but without stopping. Xiao Yiran sometimes plays in the arms of the poplars, sometimes admires the beauty of Qingwen and the musk moon, ripples in the clear water in the stream, and waves in the green grass in the valley. Watching the mountain scenery leads to infinite reverie, and looking at the white clouds is full of melancholy.

As for time, Xiao Yiran has no concept in his heart. I never cared about how long I was brought here by Nuwa. What she can reverie in her mind is nothing more than the outside, the world that she is not familiar with. The reason why I feel a little melancholy is because I feel more and more that a feeling is growing in my heart. Xiao Yiran didn't know that the love she was breeding now was a deep sense of loneliness from the depths of her heart.

One day, Xiao Yiran stayed on a green pine on the top of the mountain by the valley, quietly looked into the distance, and turned around for a long time, looking at the poplars, Qingwen and musk moon at the bottom of the valley, and many questions suddenly popped up in his heart:

"Why am I different from Topol? They are rooted in the earth, and I am helpless. ”

"Who am I?"

"Where am I from?"

"Who is that self-proclaimed Nuwa? Why is my form different from that of Nuwa? ”

Xiao Yiran remembered that he once asked Nuwa once:

"Why are you different from me?"

"Because you are the wind, and I am the man."

"What is the wind? What is a human being? ”

"The wind is a wisp of love between heaven and earth, formless and substantial, colorless and tasteless, sassy when it comes, and silent when it goes. As for what a human being is, you can look at what I look like, and I am a human being like this. ”

"Why can you be a human being and I can only be a wisp of wind?"

"Everything in heaven and earth cannot determine its origin, and this qiē is caused by natural changes. If you like me, you can be like me in the future. ”

"Why do you have to be human?"

"Once you're human, you can walk around."

"Why can't I walk around now?"

"Because once you leave here, there are countless dangers and traps waiting for you in heaven and earth."

"What is a danger? What is Trap? ”

Xiao Yiran remembered that Nuwa didn't tell herself the answer in the end, but just smiled and said:

"You're still young, and when you grow up, you'll understand."

"When will I grow up?"

"When I look like me."

Xiao Yiran also discussed it with Poplar. It's just that Poplar is a little wooden, Xiao Yiran asked three sentences, Poplar couldn't answer a sentence, and Poplar's answer was very simple, he could only say those four words:

"That's how it should be."

As for Qingwen and Musk Yue, Xiao Yiran didn't even bother to ask, because the two of them were not fluent in speaking, so they could only say one or two words, one or two words, and couldn't even say a complete sentence. Of course, Xiao Yiran also knew that their current communication with each other was not talking, it was what Nuwa said:

"You have not yet taken on human form, you have no ears, eyes, mouth, nose, and nose, so you cannot speak. Your communication now is only transmitted by the mind. ”

Xiao Yiran could see that when he communicated with Baiyang, it was indeed different from when he communicated with Nuwa, because Nuwa could make a sound when she spoke, but the four of herself couldn't.

"What is an idea?"

"Your thoughts are what you think."

"You seem to be able to see my mind, but I can't see yours, why?"

"Hehe, you'll know when you grow up."

Whenever he asked a question at the end, he was always blocked back by Nuwa with this sentence, and Xiao Yiran didn't ask Nuwa a question for a long time. Even, in order not to bore himself, Xiao Yiran forced himself not to think about those things that he couldn't understand. It's just that there are too many things that I can't figure out, and if I don't pay attention, the problem will drill into my heart.

Heart? I don't want to have a heart.

Xiao Yiran has been observing his body a lot recently, if it weren't for the fact that he could feel the existence of his body, Xiao Yiran would even have to doubt whether he was saving or not. However, Xiao Yiran can not feel the storage of his body at all times. For example, when walking through the empty air, Xiao Yiran can't feel his body, he can only feel his own thoughts. Only when you wander among the grass and trees, on the water of the stream, can you really feel the existence of the body. Of course, Xiao Yiran likes to lie in the huge canopy of poplar trees and play, and then go to the high sky and play with the white clouds.

"This should be what Nuwa said, formless and substantial, colorless and tasteless."

"Hiding here and thinking about things again?"

Xiao Yiran was puzzled for a long time when Nuwa could always appear silently beside her, and couldn't help but turn around and ask:

"How did you do that?"

"It's a skill."

"Can I learn?"

"Of course you can, but not yet."

Xiao Yiran didn't ask why again as usual, she knew that if she continued to ask, it would inevitably be the same sentence "I have to wait until you grow up", so she chose to be silent.

"Want to go out and have a look?"

"Yes."

"Then come to me, and I'll take you out for a walk."

"Really?!"

Xiao Yiran was a little happy, but also a little skeptical.

"Come on."

Xiao Yiran's body moved, attached to Nuwa's skirt, only to feel that the scene in front of him was changing rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, he couldn't see the valley where he had always been. When Nuwa stopped, Xiao Yiran saw something strange.

"This is the village where humans live, do you want to go down and see it?"

"Yes."

"Then go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Xiao Yiran got down from Nuwa's skirt and floated to a forest on the ground. Hiding in the canopy of a tree in the woods, he secretly looked at the strange qiē in front of him. I saw some so-called "people" who looked the same as Nuwa, coming and going, and constantly talking.

"See, that's people. The place where people live in a concentrated place is called a village, and the place where people rest and sleep is called a house. See those people coming in and out of the house? ”

Nuwa's voice suddenly appeared in Xiao Yiran's consciousness, making Xiao Yiran puzzled again.

"How did she send the voice from so far away?"

"There's no danger to you here, you can go to the village and have a look."

Xiao Yiran tentatively left the canopy where he was hiding, clinging to the ground, walking through the grass on the ground, and cautiously came to the village, patrolling the people's feet. After that, he gradually became bold and floated in the crowd. Suddenly, Xiao Yiran heard:

"It's so hot, it's finally windy."

"yes, it's going to be hot. It's just that the wind seems to come a little abruptly, and you can see that the leaves in the distance don't move at all. ”

In the village, wandering through the crowd for a while, Xiao Yiran slipped through a gap in a fence wall into the family's yard, and then through the open window, into the house.

"Mother, it's so cool."

"yes, it's finally windy."

Xiao Yiran saw that some of the tables, chairs and benches in the house that Nuwa said were similar to those in Nuwa's cave mansion, but what Nuwa had there was made of stone, while what she saw here was made of wood. There was a bed on which sat a person who looked similar to Nuwa, and next to it sat a very small person.

"Mother? What is a mother? ”

Xiao Yiran asked secretly in his heart. Although he didn't understand what the "mother" in the villain's mouth meant, Xiao Yiran felt a trace of envy for the first time in his heart for the relationship between adults and villains that is difficult to describe in words. It's just that Xiao Yiran doesn't know what this feeling in his heart is called.

Xiao Yiran, who walked around the village, not only did not feel happy, but had many problems. In addition to the two people who came into the village, one big and one small, Xiao Yiran also saw a lot of other people. And the things in the yard that I hardly know except for people. I had to go back to Nuwa in the air, and I couldn't wait to ask:

"There seem to be a lot of other things that move besides people."

"That's the poultry that people raise."

"Why raise poultry?"

"People live to eat and drink, or they will starve to death. Raising poultry is just to eat meat. ”

"Why don't we eat and drink?"

"We are not like those ordinary people. Ordinary people have to live on food, and we only need the aura of heaven and earth. ”

"Why can't I feel that there is an aura between heaven and earth?"

"Your current body can actively absorb the aura of heaven and earth, so you can't feel it yourself."

"What do you absorb?"

"See if I'm breathing? I just rely on my breath to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and of course, I can also absorb it by the skin on my body. ”

Nuwa Niangniang's explanation not only did not make Xiao Yiran understand, but brought out more questions. Xiao Yiran decided not to ask this question anymore, so he changed the topic and asked directly:

"What is Mother?"

"Have you ever seen in the valley that when a seed sprouts and takes root, it grows new branches and leaves, and then it blossoms and bears fruit? Then, that seed is the mother of the new fruit. ”

"You mean that the little man in the house grew out of that adult?"

"Ran'er is very smart, that's pretty much what it means."

Although he didn't quite understand the meaning of "smart", Xiao Yiran could still feel that this was Nuwa praising herself.

"I felt a very strange feeling in those two people. It always makes me feel as if I'm very comfortable. ”

"That's family affection."

"What is affection?"

"Affection between loved ones."

Xiao Yiran didn't continue to ask, she vaguely understood that the relationship between the villain who grew up from the adult and the adult should be the closest person in Nuwa's mouth.

"Is there a mother in everything in the world?"

"Yes."

When Nuwa Niangniang heard this question, she knew what Xiao Yiran would ask next. Sure enough, Xiao Yiran immediately asked:

"Then who is my mother and where is it?"
