Grandpa Wenliu in the yard.

The aroma of osmanthus wine slowly gathers in the air and lingers for a long time, and with the increase of chat time, the aroma of wine becomes more intense.

The butterfly that left before seems to be unable to fly at the moment.

He was perched next to a small puddle of dampness, flapping his wings slowly, his body swaying in the breeze.

"Why did Big Fish follow Li Qiqi?"

Chen Beibei looked at Grandpa Wenliu and asked him.

Although the dishes on the table are a little light, there is a plate of peanuts, so there is no problem with the sake.

Grandpa Wenliu was eating peanuts and drinking wine.

There was a very satisfied expression on his face.

Every time he came to Grandpa Wenliu's house, Chen Beibei had an illusion, as if the passage of time had slowed down when he was at Grandpa Wenliu's house.

There is no rush feeling of being out there at all.

This probably has a little to do with the fact that Wen Liu and his wife are too old and slow to move, but there may be other reasons.

Feelings are generated by the human heart.

Chen Beibei would think like that, naturally because he had that feeling in his heart.

"The big fish went to Li Qiqi's house that night, and it seems that when Li Qiqi crossed the bridge, the big fish followed Li Qiqi to her house."

Grandpa Wen Liu looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

At this time, the Zashiki boy sat alone on the threshold of Grandpa Wenliu's house, and the threshold was of that kind of stone.

It's a rectangular stone.

Over the course of several decades, the stone has been polished to a sladimacious smoothness.

In the past, many people liked to sit on the threshold to eat, and that feeling would be very leisurely.

Especially in the summer, when it comes to dinner.

Sitting on the stone threshold with a bowl of rice and vegetables in your hand, the whole person will be in a very low state.

Whether the legs are bowed up or straightened, it is a very relaxed posture.

It's just that the legs are in a state of no force.

The midsummer sunset turns the sky red, and the clouds that were originally white turn red under the sunset.

The whole world is a serene and peaceful scene.

When you sit on the stone threshold, there will be a slight coolness, and with the evening breeze, the heat will slowly fade.

Eating will also become more appetizing.

If you meet someone passing by the door, ask, "Have you eaten?" ”

No matter how the other person answers.

Both sides smiled kindly and then joked. Then the pedestrian leaves, leaving behind a figure with his back to the setting sun.

The shadow is infinitely elongated by the sun's rising westward.

"Sister Zashiki Boy, let's play a game together."

The bride looked at the boy and said to her.

"Hmm."

Zashiki boy nodded, although he didn't know what game Xiaoluo bride wanted to play, but Zashiki boy still agreed without thinking.

After all, the things that the bride plays with are generally childish.

"Sister Zashiki Boy, guess the butterfly is in that hand."

The bride clenched her hands into fists and stretched out to the boy, the bride's hands were very small, and the butterflies were a little big compared to her hands.

Although the bride had tried her best to hide the butterfly, the butterfly's wings still showed a horn from the bride's hand.

Zashiki looked at the small puddle on the ground, and the butterfly next to the puddle was gone.

"In this hand."

Zashiki pointed to the hand of the bride who showed the corner of the butterfly's wings and said to her.

……

"What did Big Fish do when he went to Li Qiqi's house?"

Chen Beibei looked at Grandpa Wenliu and asked him.

"It seems that I have a good impression of Li Qiqi. There was another man who went to Li Qiqi's house that night.

It's the man who peeps with a telescope by the river.

The man sneaked into Li Qiqi's room, took a white cloth soaked in the drug, and walked slowly towards Li Qiqi, who was sleeping......

Just when the man was about to cover Li Qiqi's mouth and nose with a white cloth.

A monk dressed in a navy blue monk's robe appeared in Li Qiqi's room, and the monk held a cane in his hand.

The monk stood quietly behind the man, silently looking at the man.

Because the monk didn't make a sound, the man's attention was all on Li Qiqi's body, so he didn't notice that there was someone behind him.

Just when the man was about to cover Li Qiqi's mouth and nose with a white cloth.

The body suddenly came to a standstill.

The top of the cane in the monk's hand was inlaid with something like a blue gemstone, which was emitting a faint glimmer at the moment.

The monk walked up to the man, glanced at Li Qiqi, and carried the man away......"

"Why would he do that?"

Chen Beibei looked at Grandpa Wenliu and asked him.

……

The boy and the bride sat on the stone threshold.

The two of them were playing a game of guessing which hand the object was in, and the butterfly's wings had leaked a horn out of the left hand of the little bride.

So Zashiki boy guessed the left without a doubt.

"Sister Zashiki Boy, you guessed wrong!"

The bride happily opened her hand, and there was only one wing of the butterfly on her left hand, and the butterfly was in the other hand......

"Bride Xiaoluo, you ......"

Zashiki was a little angry, but immediately realized that his tone was a little bad, so he immediately stopped and continued.

The bride was still happy.

After all, this time the game is won by yourself.

"Little bride, did you get the wings of this butterfly?"

Zashiki looked at the bride and asked her, her tone was very calm, and there were no great mood swings.

"Well, then I can win Sister Zashiki."

The bride threw the butterfly on the ground, and the butterfly that lost one of its wings crawled slowly on the ground, and without wings, the butterfly's life lost its meaning.

Zashiki stretched out his feet and trampled to death the butterfly that was slowly crawling on the ground: "Xiaoluo, all living things are the same, they can feel the pain we can feel, if it is you who are trampled to death, you will definitely be in pain." ”

Zashiki Tongzi's tone was a little cold, his expression was also very serious, and when he spoke, he stepped on the butterfly's foot and gently crushed it a few times to ensure that the butterfly really died.

"Well, Xiao Luo is afraid of death......"

The bride looked at the boy and said slowly. The disappearance on his face also gradually disappeared, replaced by a somewhat aggrieved expression.

Zashiki plucks a leaf.

Pick up the dead butterflies on the ground, put them in the leaves, and wrap them.

A few patrolling ants saw the butterfly corpse picked up by the Zashiki boy, and went back with a disappointed face.

Zashiki dug a pit in the vegetable patch and buried the butterfly carcass.

"A butterfly that has lost its wings is not far from death, and it is impossible to avoid death compared to lingering for a long time. If it withers in an instant, it will look even better. Aren't butterflies just that? ”

……

The wine in the bottle, I have already drunk a small half.

Although Chen Beibei drank very little, he was already a little drunk, but his consciousness was still very clear.

Grandpa Wenliu continued to tell the story of Big Fish and Li Qiqi.

The monk in a navy blue monk's robe carried the man away from Li Qiqi's room and went straight to the riverside in Qinghe Town.

The monk placed the man on the ground.

Then I sat down on the ground, in the same posture as I would in zazen.

The monk closed his eyes and read the scriptures in his mouth.

This lasted for about an hour, and after the monk got up again, the man still couldn't move.

'He who harbors sin in his heart should disappear instead of living in the world to harm others......

The monk said this, and threw the man into the river.

The man couldn't move, so he didn't have the slightest struggle, and sank straight to the bottom of the river, and when the man died, his body would resurface.

However, this opportunity is no longer available.

After the monk threw the man into the river, he jumped into the river himself, and after the monk entered the river, he directly turned into a big black fish.

The big black fish swam towards the bottom of the water, and soon, a bright red liquid rose from the bottom of the river.

The bright red liquid grew more and more, staining every area of the river red.

Soon, however, the red liquid flowed downstream with the river, and as it flowed, it became lighter and lighter until it disappeared completely. ”

When Grandpa Wen Liu said this, he paused, picked up his wine glass, and drank the wine in one gulp.

……

After burying the butterfly, the boy sat down on the stone threshold again.

Regarding the matter of Xiaoluo bride killing and getting off the butterfly wings, Zashiki boy did not directly complain about her, after all, the current Xiaoluo bride is still young.

It's a very simple age.

This simplicity can be good or bad.

It's simple to believe in everyone, and it's also simple to do whatever you want to do.

Feelings for other things, because they are not communicated to one's own body.

I can't deeply understand it.

So it is completely imperceptible.

It was only when others told her that she could slowly learn about these things.

Therefore, even if the bride really took off the butterfly's wings, it did not stem from the evil in the heart of the bride.

Zashiki boy has figured out these things.

will talk to the bride in a relatively peaceful way.

"Bride Xiaoluo, don't abuse other things casually in the future, because they will feel pain just like us, you know?"

Zashiki looked at the bride and said to her.

"But...... We're still going to eat them, fish, rabbits, chickens, ducks, and so on......"

Xiaoluo bride said with some doubts.

"Well, we eat them because of our own needs. And when he killed them, he didn't deliberately abuse or mutilate them. This is allowed. Just as a wolf eats a rabbit, a big fish eats a small fish, and a bird eats a firefly. ”

Zashiki explained.

Eating will eat them because they need to.

In this case, other animals are used as food.

When using them as ingredients, they do not use cruel means to deliberately make them feel unbearable pain.

This practice is allowed by all.

"Well, Sister Zashiki Boy, I see."

The bride looked at the boy and said to her.

Mistreat.

Persecute.

Whether it's for humans or animals, it's some kind of bad practice.

Of course, there will be a lot of people who will indulge in it.

For such things, Zashiki boy has seen too much. even experienced it personally, and the kindness of the past made that man continue to get worse.

After stabbing the blind Zashiki boy in the eye, he then cut off her hands and feet.

But, even so.

- Suffering unfair treatment, but still believing that the world is beautiful. And hopefully, everyone else can have a happy life!

This is the Zashiki boy.

Animals are, in a sense, not very different from humans.

Of course, this only refers to the feeling of pain in the body, but also the feeling of comfort.

Humanity at the time of harm.

The pain that animals feel when they are hurt is actually similar.

At least, for the most part.

After a broken leg, the leg will not grow back, and from then on, it will become inconvenient to move.

If you lose your eyes, you won't be able to see the world as it is.

So it is for animals.

The same goes for humans!

This pain, along with the inconvenience, is universal.

"Sister Zashiki Boy, let's continue to play the game."

The bride looked at the boy and said to her.

"Hmm."

This time, the bride used stones......

……

Chen Beibei and Grandpa Wen Liu were still drinking.

The fragrance of osmanthus wine filled the entire courtyard, and at this time, the two of them were already a little drunk.

"That big fish ate the man?"

Chen Beibei looked at Grandpa Wenliu and asked him.

"Hmm."

Grandpa Wenliu replied.

The man was eaten by a big fish, and in that case, the big fish must be a youkai.

After leaving the river.

The big fish will take on the form of a monk.

Probably a youkai related to monks.

"That big fish is still in the river in Qinghe Town, right?"

Chen Beibei continued to ask.

After all, when Chen Beibei was at night, he still planned to look for the big fish, so it was more convenient to inquire clearly at this time.

"It should still be there."

Grandpa Wenliu said while drinking wine.

"Well, in that case, then tonight, I'll look for it, and hopefully I can find it."

Chen Beibei looked at Grandpa Wenliu and said slowly.

Since that big fish is a monster, it can also directly control that man and eat it.

So it must be a youkai with a little spiritual power......

Can you guess who this big fish is? Clue: Monster in the water, monk!
