Chapter 33: Joy of Life
When Afa returned to the weedy field with a bunch of berries in his arms, he found that there was no one, only Xiaofa himself rested on the big stone that Alpha usually leaned on when he slept.
"Squeak." When Xiaofa saw Alpha coming back, he immediately waved his wings and flew down on Alpha's shoulder.
"Where's she?" Alpha asked aloud.
Xiaofa just lowered his head and his wings drooped, and Afa didn't know if he didn't know or didn't want to say it.
"Okay, I've only been gone for a few minutes, and she's gone again." Ah Fa picked up a red and translucent firethorn fruit and fed it to Xiaofa, but Xiaofa didn't open his mouth to accept it.
"What's wrong?" Alpha was surprised.
Xiaofa shook his head, flapped his wings and flew back to the stone.
"You've been with her for so long, and you've become like her...... Rebellious, willful, and unwilling to accept my kindness...... I don't learn well. "It's obviously an angry complaint, but it's not that kind of taste, what comes out of Afa's mouth is another extremely delicate and deep, indescribable emotion.
Actually, he likes this kind of rebellion, right?
Xiaofa tilted his head and looked at Afa, it understood that feeling, it could see Afa's heart, not just because it was a king fog bird - born with the light of eyes that saw the essence of all things, but because it had experienced, or more precisely, it had obtained, that kind of rebellion had been the supreme and warmest thing in the world, giving it and infecting it; Then, with the baptism and precipitation of a short time, it gradually blended into each of its gorgeous and brilliant feathers, annihilating all the sharp edges from the outside world, and finally turning into instinct.
That's right, this is an acquired instinct, it is not contradictory, because it is so harmoniously existing, so, although it can't speak, there is no way to communicate with Alpha and Gu Xiaoxiao, but it can see that the most dazzling thing in this world is flowing in Alpha's body at this moment.
And in the little body, it has also witnessed.
The sound of slow footsteps came, and Alpha followed the sound and looked up, it was Gu Xiaoxiao who came out of the birch forest.
"Where have you been?" Afa's tone was cold, but he was worried in his heart, could Xiaoxiao have heard the conversation between himself and Xu Xinyang just now?
"Oh? I didn't go anywhere. "Xiao Xiao looked preoccupied.
"What's the answer?" Alpha was even more worried when he saw the small appearance.
"I just feel a little dizzy, go for a walk to breathe." A little explained out loud.
"Really?"
"Why should I lie to you!"
"Did you go to find Xu Xinyang?"
"You...... That's right! Isn't it possible? Xiao Xiao shouted at the top of her voice.
Afa's eyes narrowed, this little girl was lying, why?
Since when did the two of us no longer be so close and honest with each other, and we no longer give each other all of our ......
Although it is just out of the desire to keep you away from harm, there is still a sense of loss in my heart.
Alpha stopped asking, and both of them fell silent.
Xiao Fa on the side suddenly screamed at this delicate moment, and the two looked over at the same time, only to see that Xiao Fa flew down to a birch tree at some point, fluttering his huge wings to signal Ah Fa and Xiao Xiao to go over.
Ah Fa and Gu Xiaoxiao realized that the wine they had brewed together was buried under the tree, and they were stunned at the same time.
"Alpha." Xiaoxiao was the first to speak, perhaps touched by Xiaofa.
"What?"
"Didn't you say that the wine can be opened? Let's try it together! ”
"Okay." Alpha got up and walked under the birch tree, a blue light flashed in the palm of his hand, and the dirt on the ground loosened of its own, and then the dark brown vessel shaped like a ceramic jar emerged from the earth on its own.
Ah Fa walked back to Xiaoxiao's side, lit a bonfire to warm up the cold around him, he sat on the ground, but he was not very close to Gu Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao knew that Alpha intended to keep his distance, but he deliberately moved his body and took the initiative to lean closer to Alpha's side.
Afa froze, his complicated eyes looked at Xiao Xiao beside him, and he forgot what he should do.
"What's wrong? Open it up! Xiaoxiao ignored Afa's questions about herself, pretending to be very natural, with an excited look on her face, as if the dispute just now and the closeness at this moment had not happened.
"Uh-huh." Alpha stretched out his left hand and opened the tightly sealed lid, and the two of them looked into the jar together, only to see two sunflower petals floating quietly on the glowing liquid, missing the color, completely transparent, Xiaoxiao had never seen such a colorless thin petal, full of surprise.
"Wow! It's beautiful! Xiao Xiao looked at Afa, his pale eyes were shining, dotted with sparse purple, and he was extraordinarily rejuvenated.
Alpha forgot to breathe for a moment, staring at the petite person beside him, and there was a burst of warmth coming from the snuggled body, which was also mixed with the fresh smell of flowers, which was the fragrance of blue roses on the little neck.
Xiao Fa took a few birch leaves in his mouth and flew down to the mouth of the jar that Alpha was holding.
"Hey...... What's wrong? "Alpha is about to awaken his intoxicated mind.
Gu Xiaoxiao tilted her head and speculated, "Are you letting us use this leaf to serve wine?" ”
"Yes, yes, I forgot." Alpha's sudden awakening made Xiao Xiao unbelievable, this is the first time that Alpha has admitted that he has made a mistake!
Afa put the leaf in the palm of his hand, and Xiaofa flew to the side to look at the two.
Xiaoxiao took the leaf of Alpha's wine, and looked down at the glowing liquid, which turned out to be empty!
The small mouth leaned up and took a sip slightly, and then a slight fragrance slowly drifted into the entire respiratory organ of the small one, and then stayed in the entire sensory nerves, rippling and sublimating.
The taste in her mouth is sweet, she can clearly feel the intertwined sunflower nectar and birch sap, followed by the winter breath contained in the snow bloom and the summer breath lingering by the fireflies, the two opposing breaths are endless, together by the strangeness of the winged fruit, this qiē presents the agility of life.
Gu Xiaoxiao was completely drunk.
The warm liquid slid down his throat, and a fragment flashed in his little mind, was it the memory awakened by this wine?
"Xiaoxiao, what is the good name you said before?" Alpha was also immersed in the wine, and it was evident that the barkeeper's remy Martin Louis XIII could not compare with it, and the so-called favorite brandy was eclipsed at the moment of the drink.
"Name...... Is it? Xiaoxiao filled a little more for herself, and held up the leaf, her eyes were confused.
The name, the name of this wine......
An imperceptible aroma that can only be smelled up close.
It's like someone who looks cold on the outside, and only when he is really close can he see his fiery gentleness......
"If it hurts, you should shout out, why force yourself, suppress yourself and endure it?!"
Yes, when I wake up for the first time after death, I habitually endure nightmares and entanglements, suppress myself, and do not allow myself to be angry, not even crying out in pain, but there is a voice in my ear that tells me that I also have the right to express my pain. She knew that although she had fainted again, she knew that the person was Alpha.
"You think, you can fly."
It was an accident to be patient and gentle, and I was stupid enough to learn not to fly, but you hugged me and didn't let me fall to the ground. It turned out that my first hug was given to you, and although you wrapped your arms around my waist from behind, it really made me feel what it means to be shy.
Every unprovoked fall, will always be embraced by you, if the fate of my life is to hover between the nightmare of falling, then it is you who wake me up!
Although I always do a lot of stupid things, recklessly, without thinking about the brain, and there is always a large list of reprimands from you afterwards, I like it very much, I like it very much, I like the frown you frown when you are angry, and the crazy yelling "Gu Xiaoxiao", ending with this is my preference, or it is exactly what I want!
Blue round berries, fragrant roasted rabbits, snowmen that won't melt, dreamy Halloween balls, magicians who come in the night, immortal blue roses, dreamy fireflies fountains...... This qiē and qiē merge into a long-flowing river, which is the joy of life.
"Happy." Just when Alpha thought Xiaoxiao was asleep, a voice sounded.
"What?"
"The name of the wine is Shenghuan." Xiao Xiao closed his eyes and didn't let the crystal liquid flow out.
"Happy...... Is it? Alpha muttered, rubbing his voice.
A small change, a change that he is happy to see.
After a long time, Alpha found that Xiaoxiao was asleep because of drunkenness, and her head was pressed against his lap, and his face couldn't help but curl into a gentle smile.
It's early in the morning, but it makes people feel like they're in the night.
Leaning over slightly, looking at the little cheeks, Alpha couldn't help but reach out to ruffle the broken hair on the little cheeks, wanting to see this fascinating face more clearly and imprint it in the bottom of his heart.
"Hmm, Xu Xinyang ......" Xiaoxiao suddenly murmured.
Alpha stiffened when he touched her hand and took it back.
He stiffened himself, laid the little flat on the ground, and a blue light surrounded her between his hands, and then added some dead wood branches to the campfire, and then turned and walked into the depths of the birch forest, and the lonely figure faded away, disappearing into a gray patch.
Gu Xiaoxiao, who was lying on the ground, slowly opened her eyes, she didn't move, but her little hand grabbed the feather quilt that Afa had just conjured to protect herself from the cold.
His eyes stared straight at the gray sky, and the accumulated tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, leaving traces of different shades on the feather pillow.
I have not heard of the return date, and this is the meaning of parting, from then on I only have two paths, either to rise and fall with the world, or to go against the sky.
