Shigeru and Aoi become friends with each other. Mao has many partners, but Qing doesn't have any. Therefore, when Shigeru said, "We exchanged names and we are friends", she thought about it for a while, thought about it and thought it was very novel, so she readily agreed.

"Qingyao, where do you live? It's getting dark, I'll send you back. After delivering the day's goods, Shigeru looked up at the sky, it was gray, and the summer rainstorm was always unexpected.

"I live in Yuyiquan, just outside Lianhua City. ”

"Poof... Hahaha..."

"Why is the little boy laughing?"

"It's so ghostly, I've been there once and I've never dared to go near that neighborhood again, you're a little girl of half age, do you really live there?" Amao came down and leaned down, staring at her emerald eyes.

"I'm not going to lie to the little boy. ”

Yuyi Spring is a mysterious place outside the city of Xuanqiu Guolianhua, in the depths of the dense bamboo forest that meets the sky as far as the eye can see, the spring gushes out red water day and night, forming a spring. People say that the place has been spelled by strange things, and it is easy to not enter, even if you enter, most of them will become half-crazy, half-demon, not human and ghost.

When Amao was a child, he was curious to go there once, but he didn't think there was anything strange, but the forest wind that blew through the red spring was cold and cold, hovering in the forest without stopping, and the whimpering sound made people's hearts furious.

But when he stood on the banks of the red spring again, everything seemed different.

The sky was blue, the clouds were low, the sun was shining through the cracks in the clouds, the wind was blowing through the fields, and the bamboo tips were stirring with perseverance, and in the depths, the spring water gently rippled and filled with a faint mist.

"Little boy, the bottom of the spring is my home. Qing Yao pointed to the bottomless Yuren Spring and said.

Shigeru looked around, there was no sign of inhabitation nearby, and wondered, "Where is the house you live in?

Qing Yao seemed to have heard something unbelievable, his eyes widened and he shook his head: "Daddy, Mom, what's that?" She put her little hands behind her back and thoughtfully said: "What I know about the house is that I climbed ashore today and went to look for the little boy, and I haven't had time to build a house yet." It's been a long time since Massanori and Lingyi have come to see me, and the last time Lingyi saw that I was about to repair my human form, he was very happy, and said that next time he came to teach me how to build a house. ”

Mao had seen and experienced the fairy art of the little girl in front of him, and no matter how ridiculous he felt at the moment, he had to tell himself to believe her words.

"All right," he said, spreading his hands, "I'll help you build the house." ”

Qing Yao said: "Actually, you don't have to bother so much, I'll just change one." ”

"A conjured house is not a home. ”

"What is home? Why not? Aren't the immortals in the Nine Heavens all transformed into houses by themselves? The Chongmao Palace, where the little prince used to live in the sky, was also conjured up by Mrs. Youhuang. ”

"I can't tell what home is. But I know that Uncle Ai's home is his home, but not mine. The house you conjure up is just a house, but it's not your home. Maybe you will change one by the Nurture Fountain today, and tomorrow you will go to another more interesting place to change again, but that will not be considered a writer. In the eyes of us mortals, what is built with our own hands, whether big or small, whether gorgeous or simple, is our own. Shigeru said solemnly.

He was glad that this was the first time he had talked about so-called truths, and the first time that someone had listened to him with full attention.

Qing Yao didn't seem to understand, but he only felt that what Ah Mao said sounded novel, so he said: "The little boy said it very well, but I don't know how to build a house." ”

"I'll teach you. ”

To put it this way, it is still a man-made man-made person.

Mao took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, the jujube paste cake and butter pastry in it were slightly broken, he put the oiled paper bag in Qingyao's hand, and said, "Eat more, grow taller." ”

Qing wanted to sit down by the Yuyi Spring, swaying her feet, she pinched a small piece of jujube paste cake and said, "Little boy, this is delicious." ”

"You've eaten much better in heaven than this. ”

"I have nothing but water in heaven. Well, I only drink water from the spring here. ”

"Don't the gods have to eat?"

"Of course I want to eat, I see that Lord Lingyi has been eating all the time, and there is no time to stop. ”

"The Lord Lingyi you heard was very kind to you, why didn't you ask him for something delicious?"

"That's all specially prepared for Lord Lingyi, not to mention a little elf like me, which adult in the Nine Heavens dares to touch Lord Lingyi's dim sum for half a cent?" she suddenly looked sad and said, "Speaking of Lord Lingyi, I really miss him." However, we little elves can't easily go to the sky, we have to find the Jianmu Heavenly Ladder, and from the Heavenly Ladder we can go up to the Nine Heavens. ”

"It's only the first day, don't worry, you'll find it. In a short time, Shigeru set up the foundation of bamboo and wood, and took out a smoky blue sweat towel from his waist, which was one of the few bright colors on his body.

When he was born, it was a rare snowfall in the autumn in the capital of Lianhua. A boy in red and a boy in blue met to enjoy the snow at night on this day, and when they passed by the window of Ah Mao's house, they heard a new child crying inside, so they casually gave this square handkerchief as a gift.

Even though it wasn't a valuable thing, he carried it with him for so many years.

Ah Mao held the sweat towel and suddenly asked, "Qingyao, you said that you saw me in the sky, what were you like at that time? What was I like at that time?"

As he spoke, Qing Yao finished eating a full bag of dim sum, patted his bulging belly with satisfaction, wrapped up the crumbs and put them aside, and then stood up and walked towards Ah Mao step by step.

It was only then that Mao realized that Qing was limping when he was walking.

A strong stinging pain suddenly appeared in his heart, it turned out that Fang Caiqing had to keep walking up and down, just because she was lame. He also laughed at her for refusing to walk well, and she was too lively.

At this moment, he fell into infinite self-blame and remorse.

A big bright smile bloomed on Qing Yao's face, and he said warmly: "My real body is an aquatic chrysanthemum, which has grown in the Qingling River of the Demon Domain for generations, due to a turmoil in the Demon Realm four thousand years ago, my kind has become extinct, and I am the only one who has survived, thanks to the mother of the little boy!" At that time, Mrs. Youhuang found me from the bottom of the Qingling River and took me to the Yao Pond in the Heavenly Realm to raise me, but I was originally a spirit in the Demon Realm, and I was not accustomed to the water and soil in the Heavenly Realm. It's nothing, it's excellent to survive and cultivate into a human form, mortals often say that there are gains and losses, this is my destiny, no matter how much, I can't bear it. ”

Mao said: "Don't be sad, if you don't like to walk, I'll carry you." ”

Qing wanted to open her hands around Shigeru's neck and rub it, this was her way of expressing closeness. She let go of her hand, tilted her head, and said, "The little boy doesn't remember the things in the sky, so it doesn't matter." Whether the little boy remembers it or not, he is such a good person, and he has always been very good to Qingyao, very good. ”

Ah Mao said: "I have always thought that whether it is a god or a living creature living in the sky, they are all equal and benevolent, who knew that those carps would bully a weak one." They look down on the spirits of the demon realm because they are proud of their immortal products, but in fact, what is the difference between gods and demons?"

"Hahaha, what's the difference between a god and a demon!"

An unfamiliar and clear voice sounded, and Amao was startled and hurriedly turned back. I saw that there were two more brocade boys behind him, one was still red and the other was blue.

The man in red shook the folding fan painted by the clouds of gold thread, the god was as amiable as jade, and a pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to be smiling, and the man in blue beside him was full of sword eyebrows and starry eyes, the only fly in the ointment was that his cold face was like a 10,000-year-old glacier, just looking at him, it was immediately like falling into an ice cave.

Ling Yi knocked on Zheng's big head, and said with reproach in his eyes: "Laugh one, don't scare the children." ”

Hearing this, Zhengzheng immediately showed a sincere smile without thinking.

Ah Mao and Qing Yao were not frightened much, but this time they were so stunned that they froze in place.

Ling Yi nodded with satisfaction, turned to Ah Mao and Qing Yao again, half-leaned over, and beckoned gently: "Qing Yao, do you remember the big brother?"

"Lingyi-sama is well!"

Qing Yaohuan jumped over and rubbed affectionately in front of his shirt, and as soon as he turned his head and met the fiery gaze of Zhengzheng, he immediately bounced back to the place.

"Nori-sama is well. ”

She hurriedly saluted like the little fairy she had seen in the sky.

"Qing Yao, did you catch a little laborer and come back to help you build a house?"

Zheng made a rare joke, but it was just to make fun of her and her Yixiao Langjun, of course, this was just what he thought. In Qingyao's ears, this frozen tone was tantamount to interrogation.

"No, I'm here to build a home for Qing Yao!"

Without waiting for the trembling Qing to come back to his senses, Mao took a big step forward, raised his chin, and said clearly.

Ling Yi's eyes crooked with a smile, and she praised again and again: "Good boy, go down to earth, it's really good!"

Ah Mao didn't know why, he just felt that the boy in blue was as hateful as those carps who bullied Qing and caused her lameness, and he was so polite to speak as a great immortal.

"Shigeru, do you remember what you asked me before?" Ling Yi said.

"Please forgive the immortals for being rude, I really don't remember the story that the immortals and Qing want to tell, and I have never seen the two immortals in the past. He raised his head, a pair of amber eyes sparkled, he took out the smoky blue handkerchief, solemnly held it in front of his chest with both hands, bowed and said, "My father and mother said that on the day I was born, two sons gave me this brocade handkerchief, which is a very important heart. Amao has been with him all these years, and today he saw the two immortals, and he was finally able to thank him in person. ”

Zhengzhi said: "Although it is not a valuable thing, but you don't lose it, whether it is a sweat towel or something else, it is always useful." ”

After he finished speaking, he thought about it again and asked, "Lingyi, is my tone bad?"

Ling Yi said: "Look at the faces of these two children, I'm afraid it's not very good." ”

He said, "Oh. ”

He quickly pondered in his heart, if it's not good, it's not good, anyway, his intentions are good, from this level, he can't care what others think, he himself thinks that Xing and Lingyi don't think there's anything wrong, then everything will be fine.

Ling Yi touched Ah Mao's head with a smile and said, "Ah Mao, are you happy in the world?"

"Of course it's happy. ”

"Aren't you worried?"

"Yes, yes, but everybody has troubles. ”

"Okay, our Amao has grown up, and the eldest brother is very happy, can you buy you the most famous sugar-fried chestnuts in Lianhua City?"

"Not good!" a strong man shouted angrily.

Ling Yi turned his head and saw Zhengzheng grinding his knife against the entire bamboo forest, grinning, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, this time I won't let you peel the chestnut shell." ”
