Chapter Ninety-Six: Awareness
At the end of the snow festival, adults who have leisure go to the ice castle to do the final work, such as finishing the unfinished ice sculpture building, or adjusting the layout of the ice castle to perfection, and finally closing the entrance to the entire ice castle to prevent children from breaking into the empty ice castle and getting injured.
In the end, the entire ice city has become a magnificent spectacle that can only be viewed from a distance.
In addition to these tasks, in view of the unexpected events that occurred yesterday, and even the loss of lives for them, it is very likely that the adults will be called for a meeting, and it is not known what will be discussed.
My parents obviously had all of these obligations, so they had already gone out early this morning, which gave me a temporary relief from my worries - they must have known what had happened yesterday, and I had met my father's friend during the process of searching for Jing with Sa, and he would certainly not hide it for me. Not only the parents will know, but the entire town, including the Board of Education, will know about it.
Doing something extraordinary at such an extraordinary time, I think I'd be on the Board of Education's blacklist—if there was such a thing, my name might be on the top of the list.
In other words, the Omen of Death shines overhead.
When I think of these things, I can't help but have a headache, the ideal peaceful life has been broken in just a few days in such a short period of time, and even a lot of trouble has accumulated.
"Fold, your face is wrinkled, what are you thinking?"
Wearing a pure white coat of snow fur, he walked to his side, and Raff, who was curled up on the wool mat by the stove, suddenly stood up energetically, and dragged his fat body to the feet of the yarn and swirled around it, making a soft cry full of joy.
"Hoo ......"
I let out a sigh of relief, gathered my thoughts, looked up at the veil sitting down in a demure posture in front of me, her side face still hung with the slightly too large dragon mask, while showing an innocent and pure smile, I reached out to pick up the squatting Raff on the ground, and when I stroked its soft back, I gazed at me with night-like eyes, and the watery atmosphere made the troubles in my heart dissipate.
Suddenly, my eyes flashed back to her unbridled cold face from last night, and her scarlet-stained smile was as frightening as a flame. The overlap of the two faces at this moment made me subconsciously reach out and caress the face that was close in front of me, but seemed to be far away, and rubbed the beautiful lip flap with my fingertips—incredible, even in this winter when it was dry enough to make the skin on the palm of my hand chapped, the lips touched by my fingertips were still moist and full, glowing with a crystal clear bright red color, and slid lightly, but there was no trace of ointment.
My eyes were drawn to the bright red, and I felt more and more as if it was smeared with blood, but strangely, instead of the slightest fear or rejection, there was a joy in my heart that made my whole body tremble, like the emotion of seeing a gorgeous beauty that is rare in the world.
"Beautiful" ......"
Murmuring unconsciously, I couldn't help but immerse myself in the crimson world like a dream bubble, my breathing became rapid, and the scene in my eyes was the scene when I fell from the sky last night and looked at the "yarn", the ribbon-like air flow wrapped around her, like the streamers on the gorgeous clothes of the goddess.
I seemed to see the yarn incarnated as the "Heavenly Maiden" grow into an adult in an instant, and grow into the same appearance as Miss Liuzhi, she looked down on everything on the earth in the sky coldly, and her otherworldly beauty was like the only bright moon left in the dense dark night, gathering all the brilliance of the world.
I couldn't help it, I wanted to get closer to her, but at this time, the violent blur from my left eye shattered the sudden strong desire in my heart, and the vision in my eyes regained clarity after a short period of disorder, and what was reflected in my eyes was no longer the beautiful face of Miss Liuzhi, but the petite figure of Sha's green and overwhelmed.
I gazed deeply at the figure in front of me, caressing the cat's back, and the fragments washed out of the tide of thought were clearly presented; In the petite body in front of him, there is a real "Heavenly Maiden", a life consciousness that is by no means human - this is neither yarn nor just Miss Liuzhi.
It's a monster that should be called a dragon, and at the same time a celestial maiden, or is it ...... God.
(PS: In the legend, the dragon is the heir of the untimely death, and the dragon is one of the mythical emperors, so the dragon is also a god, and it is also said that it is the god of the plague (ghost, the ancient ghost and god are one, and the word ghost and god are generally mentioned together). In ancient times, there was a saying that the epidemic was the lodge of evil cult in the body, so the spirit lived in the hearts of the people, possessed the body and made trouble, and even seized the body to make people change their appearance.
As for the name of the Heavenly Maiden, the most well-known Heavenly Maiden is the Weaver Girl, she is the granddaughter of the Emperor of Heaven, so the Heavenly Maiden is another name for the heirs of the Emperor of Heaven. However, after Buddhism was introduced to China, the goddess accompanied the goddess to scatter flowers at every turn, and the word goddess was also overflowing. In fact, those who are called Buddha women in Buddhism at most do not use the title of heavenly maiden at all, because the heavenly maiden is the daughter of heaven in other words, and in ancient times, the concept of heaven was very high, and not everything could wear this prefix. )
I finally understood something, and realized something that I had previously overlooked, and the answer came to me.
"Fold ......"
As the yarn kneaded the white jade bud buttons on my chest, and my cheeks were stained with cherry blossoms, I retracted my once-irrational hand, and was horrified by the demonic temptation that bordered on psychological suggestion. If I hadn't looked closely at my heart at this moment, I wouldn't have noticed how deeply impressed the "Heavenly Maiden" had left in my heart last night, bordering on a mental disorder, or...... Mental pollution is more appropriate.
"I'm sorry, I'm scared."
After vaguely perceiving the answer, I felt a lot of love and pity for the girl in front of me.
"Well, there used to be some, but not the kind I thought."
The yarn caressed Raff lightly, revealing a faint smile, which looked as thin as white paper and seemed to be about to drift away in the wind: "Before I met the fold, I thought it was strange, but I wasn't scared at all, because nothing belonged to me except my mother, so just listen to my mother, even if it's just a prop (note: here it refers specifically to the tools used for cultivation), it doesn't matter." ”
As she spoke, she raised her head and looked directly at me, her eyes shining: "It's different now, I have something of my own, and as long as I think of losing this kind of thing, or even being snatched away, I feel very sad, sad, and scared, and then I feel that I am starting to become less like myself, which I didn't like this before." ”
"At this time, I don't even know what I'm thinking, I obviously want to rely more on the fold, but I don't have the courage to be honest with all the truth...... Even if he is so hypocritical, he will still want to get more, so occasionally he will have some very bad thoughts, become very greedy, and become even a little terrible himself, completely different from before - but ......"
She put Raff on her knees, pressed one hand on her heart, slowly stroked it, and finally stayed on her cheeks, gently caressing her lower lip with her slender white index finger, and at the same time her pretty face bloomed with a charming smile without evil spirit, like the weeping cherry blossoms in full bloom in spring, the color is gorgeous like a dream, obviously gorgeous to the extent of moving, but it looks plain and elegant: "I don't hate this feeling, and I don't think it's wrong to be like this, this ...... It's who I am. ”
I looked at the yarn that was a little different from my usual and opened my mouth, not knowing what to say. If it had been placed in the past, I would have thought that her overly mature thoughts needed psychological counseling and correction, but now, I take it for granted, at least it is normal compared to when she was possessed by the "Heavenly Maiden".
At least, everything she thinks now comes from her heart, and it is her true self.
"I ......"
After hesitating for a moment, I was about to say something, but the words were blocked by the yarn that suddenly approached me with my index finger, her delicate face was close to my eyes, and her cherry lips outlined the arc of Yanran: "It's Fold that made me what I am now, and it's Fold that agrees with me like this, so please take responsibility." ”
The soft cotton, jasmine-scented taste passed from my lips to my brain, and I held my breath and let the sensation spread - it seemed, there was nothing bad about it, right? If you want to choose someone to accompany you through the journey of your life, isn't the girl in front of you the best choice?
As such thoughts came to mind, a quiet face vaguely appeared in my mind, and her face, which was as calm as stagnant water, gradually solidified into a snow-white white fox mask, which slipped down her face, revealing a sad face full of tear stains, which stretched out from the corners of her eyes and eventually covered the entire face, like a shocking deep scar, cutting the face.
I felt as if I heard a crisp sound of "ding", and that sad face turned into countless fragments and disappeared without a trace.
……
There are three hospitals in Kamisu 66 Town, one is located in Kogan Township near the Huanchuan River, one is located in the center of the town, Chiwa Township, and the other is located at the junction of Matsufu Township near Miharu Township.
The functions of the three hospitals are different, among which the third hospital is at the junction of Songfeng Township and Jianqing Township, which is responsible for manufacturing medicines and collecting medicinal herbs, and Yu Waicai is responsible for dealing with some minor injuries and illnesses of nearby residents.
The First Hospital of Chilun Township is similar to the CDC thousands of years ago, and it is said that it is responsible for the research of various diseases, the development of medicines, and the management of the sanitary environment in the town.
The No. 2 Hospital in the Golden Village is the only hospital in the town with beds, and the only hospital that has a doctor on duty every day to treat any illness, and its function is the same as that of ordinary hospitals thousands of years ago.
Yarn and I are aiming for this second hospital known as the maternity hospital, and Miss Rokuchi will live in the hospital after giving birth to recuperate - for the people in the town, having mana is equivalent to eradicating the possibility of a major illness, and the possibility of accidental injury is almost zero, even if you have some pain, as long as the mana level is slightly better, you can deal with the injury yourself. If the mana level reaches the level of the Dysprosium Wood Star, I am afraid that even the organ lesions or cancer in my body can be easily repaired, and there is no need for medical treatment at all.
In this case, the role of the hospital is more for pregnant women and children without magical powers, so it is only natural that the second hospital is called a maternity hospital.
Due to the sweep of "Sha" last night in order to eliminate interference, when Sha and I stepped out of the house, we saw a layer of clear blue sky, and the golden sun hung in the sky where no clouds could be seen, spreading the warmth of summer in what should have been a cold winter, and the snow on the ground that was not swept away by the magic last night dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving a muddy water trail mixed with thin ice.
"This year looks like it's going to be a warm winter."
I took off my orchid-patterned gloves with a hot breath, and my fingers were slightly chilled when exposed to the air, but not unbearable.
"Yes, but I prefer it when it's snowing...... No, if it snows lightly, if it snows heavily, you won't see anything. If...... If the world is snowing all the time, thin, light, and a little cold, it should be beautiful. ”
The shawl veil buried her neck in soft and fluffy replied softly, and she hugged Raff with brisk steps, not realizing that this scene was caused by herself, or perhaps she was aware of it, but she didn't care.
"That's too monotonous. A scenery is endless, no matter how beautiful it is, in the end it will only be sad and desolate, and it will definitely be boring. ”
After Sasha confessed to me, I couldn't see her as a young child, a minor, as before, and looked at her with a sense of mental age overlook, so I subconsciously began to think about whether there was a connotation in her words, and even unconsciously with a hidden meaning when I answered.
"No, it won't."
Sasha stopped, tilted her head and looked at me with extraordinarily serious eyes: "If it were me, it would never." Because my vision has always been narrow, so narrow that I can only see one thing. Kindness...... Anytime, as long as I can have this kind of thing, I will never feel sad, let alone broken. ”
I felt like I was about to be checkmated while playing chess, and there was no way back but to raise my hand in surrender. But before I could change the subject, Sha held the cat in one hand, lifted the simple gray-white cotton skirt in the other hand and ran to the front, and the crisp and pleasant laughter like a bell mixed with the whirring wind came far away: "Fold, if we want to build our own home in the future, we must choose Songfeng Township, build a tree-shaped hanging garden in the woods where there is no one else, and use magic to cover the snow clouds in the sky that will not disperse, so that the snow will continue to fall." ”
"We lived in a high garden, covered with glass, full of grass, flowers, fruit trees, and told Raff to give birth to many, many kittens, and then we stayed in it and never came out – it was easy for my mother, and I could do it later."
"Hanging Garden...... Snow-strewn Evergarden ......"
The words that were so innocent as if she were describing a fairy tale struck my heart like ripples, making me think involuntarily, to imagine, and finally to agree, and when I closed my eyelids, I suddenly appeared such a real scene, so I nodded: "This seems to be good." ”
……
If I write Happy End in the future, then I must call it the Eternal Garden of Ice and Snow Love, and I feel that I am really a hopeless romantic, and what I pursue is often this kind of illusory beauty like a castle in the sky.
