banquet
On a hot night, even the wind blowing in is a little hot.
In the middle of a grove of golden sand, a large house surrounded by bluestone sits here.
With the help of some guests, this spacious and exquisite home rises from the ground in just a few minutes. Approaching the wall, you can see several buildings in the style of the Star and Moon Hall in a circle, surrounding the domed Qiong Tower in the middle. The main body of these houses is a combination of trees and huge bluestone, and the bluestone is also engraved with complex patterns, which looks mysterious and elegant.
Overall, it looks like a miniature version of retro palace architecture.
The dome is a small lookout.
A few blue-gold bells tied with bows hung in a string in front of the lookout, and they swayed with the night breeze, and from time to time they sounded pleasantly and softly, like a low song at night, quiet and light.
In the middle of the day, many people came here one after another.
The fox of Qingqiu, the star language of the small building in the middle of the lake, and some other inhabitants of the netherworld, a soft carpet was spread out in the large courtyard, and more than thirty people sat on it.
Dressed in a robe of stars, Xingyu with an elegant appearance leaned against a tree, and several little foxes around her chased each other. On the other side of the carpet was a woman with a pair of jade dragon horns and a gold-rimmed robe on a white background. She was carrying a jar the size of a large water tank with the word 'wine' on it, and she was pouring wine for people.
In the distance, there were two ethereal spirits.
There were a few white ghosts around them, not to roll up some little monsters, throw them high and catch them.
"God, I'm busy, let's drink together!" September Long Ji pulled up a royal sister wearing a black tights and full of sci-fi sense to persuade him to drink. The woman who was located in the quaint atmosphere around her was holding the 'Holographic Environment Scanner' to record this new beauty, and was disturbed, and pouted a little unhappily: "Don't worry, you have to wait for a while in September! โ
"It's boring~!" September complained and didn't persuade again.
Some of them are familiar and some are strange, but they don't stop them from communicating at all. Sensing the appearance of the 'Eternal Night Realm', these idlers came to visit the door.
There is no doubt that the existence of the underworld is so boring.
It's too boring for a person not to find something to do in the endless years.
A little farther away, Xiao Rin half leaned against a strange fruit tree, and hugged Wangshu with both hands. She squinted and listened to the melodious ringtone.
"Wangshu, do you like the bell made by your mother?"
"I like it~ I like it the most!" Xiao Rin was in her arms, and Wangshu said in her ear.
Looking at the swaying bells, Xiao Rin turned to stare at Wangshu: "In the future...... Would you like to let them accompany you when your mother is away?"
"What? What did mom say? Aren't they together?"
"Wangshu knows, right?"
Wangshu stopped talking, she lay in Rin's arms, not saying a word.
.........
Banquets are never troublesome, and they don't even need to be prepared by the masters of the Eternal Night Realm. When they came to visit, these guys brought their treasures with them. On the delicate carpet, a variety of foods are laid out, and the fragrance is enticing.
"It's a great place to spend the summer. โ
"Well, there's never sun, and summer won't be hot! โ
Several of them exchanged in low voices.
"There is another very nice view in the underworld~"
"yes, there's finally a new view, do you remember when it was last time?"
โ...... About 3,800 years ago, I remember that June Ryuhime established the realm of no return in the Ming Heart Sea. โ
"Yes, this is the first time in a thousand years that this landscape has been established, and I really miss it......"
"Do you remember who June Ryuji was before?"
"I think it's the Three Spirits Hall, and in the end they don't seem to go out very much. โ
"No, no, it's not a small building in the middle of the lake that should be in the middle of the star!"
"No! You're all wrong! The Little Castle in the Heart of the Lake of the Star Language has existed a long, long time ago, but I've heard that it was born before this era. Of course, at that time, the small building in the middle of the lake was not a small building in the middle of the lake. โ
A group of idlers fell into a heated discussion about this, as the person mentioned in the topic, Xingyu smiled silently, this time she didn't bring Xiaoyin here, because her homework was too tight to spare time.
While the guests were discussing fiercely, the girl born from the twelve stars looked restless, pinching her fingers and neither answering nor speaking. These guys have extremely distinct personalities, some are shy and some are atmospheric, some are bold and some are low-key...... But it was clear that the twelve were not good at this kind of greeting guests.
'At this time, I really need that guy to come forward~' These guys whispered in their hearts, looking at their noses and noses one by one, sitting quietly on their chairs, and glancing at the heart of the sea from time to time.
'Sold!' noticed the performance of these guys, and the word suddenly came out of the heart of the sea!
Although she was a little annoyed, in order not to give the bad impression that the Eternal Night Realm was unreasonable to the guests, she clenched her fists, pulled a proper smile on her face, and raised her glass to those attending the banquet to ask for some common sense of the netherworld.
Actually, don't look at her so calmly, she is also very nervous, but out of politeness. Out of the feeling that she couldn't be rude, when the twelve guys were collectively pretending to be ostriches, she could only endure the discomfort of standing up.
Fortunately, everything went well! When she was nervous, Xiao Li, an over-energetic guy, quickly raised the atmosphere of this banquet to a very happy point.
"Cheers!" Xiaoli raised his glass and gulped down.
"Cheers~~"
Led by September Ryuhime, the guests responded one after another.
During the banquet, September Dragon Ji came to the side of the god and said to the people of the Eternal Night Realm: "Now let's talk about some common sense and remember it, otherwise there will be some trouble at that time!"
"There is one place in the north that you must not enter, and that is the Biran Forest, where the owner is not hospitable at all!!!
"It's best not to go near the Dark Sky Mountain, there are often some strange sinkholes, and if you accidentally fall into them, it's terrible, and very few people can climb out of the sinkholes, even if the few people who come out, they don't keep their mouths. Not necessarily dead, though...... But it must be terrifying!" Thinking of her powerful sister's angry face, gritting her teeth and roaring at the sinkhole, September Longji felt a relative.
Xingyu took a sip of light wine, and then said: "The danger of a million burials is extremely high, so it's best not to go in June and July." Those buried millions of races will be resurrected because of the summer apocalypse of the netherworld, and a parade will be held around the millions of burials. If you were not careful, you would be buried there. โ
"And ......"
The rest of the people nodded in agreement, making the people of the Eternal Night Realm serious.
"Well, we'll be careful. After listening to the admonitions of these guests, the heart of the sea nodded seriously.
Netherworld...... It seems more dangerous than expected.
As if knowing their worries, one of the spirit-state guests laughed: "Don't worry, the netherworld is still very peaceful! If you don't go out by yourself, you may not see an outsider for decades." The places mentioned in September are just a few very small places in the netherworld. You must know that because of the years, although the people here are not necessarily very guests, they will never snub the guests. โ
"Sometimes I come to play with the spirit. "Another ghost invitation that looks like a real person.
"If you have time, come to Qingqiu as a guest, my home is in the Misty Forest, and I think those little foxes will welcome you too. โ
"Yes. โ
Seeing that these neighbors naturally accepted them, the people of the Eternal Night Realm let out a long sigh.
"It's good that I didn't make a fool of myself. โ
โโโ
Looking at the lively crowd, Xiao Rin took Wangshu's little hand and left the room.
Beach, golden sand sparkles under a pale glow.
......A wave crashes on the beach, and when the tide recedes, it leaves behind a few beautiful shellfish that are still wet and sparkling in the moonlight. A few sand crabs quickly skim through the sand and into a small hole with huge pincers.
The deep blue of the lake reflects the pale golden moon, under a coconut tree by the lake.
"This is our last night together......" Leaning against the coconut tree, Xiao Rin will look at the little moon.
After a long time, she turned her head and asked in a low voice: "Wangshu, Mom asked you something, it's very important!"
"Huh?"
"If there is a sad memory that hides your precious memories, would you like to remember it?" Rin said this, covering the mouth of Wangshu, who wanted to speak, and continued: "Wangshu, don't say it first, let's listen to my mother's opinion first, okay?"
After Wangshu nodded obediently, Rin whispered in her ear, "To be honest, Mom doesn't like to give you back that memory. I don't want to give it back to you for at least ten years...... Because if you give it back now, you will carry this sorrow!"
Hearing Rin's words, Wangshu's eyes widened.
She was also faintly aware of some problems with her memory, often with pain in her heart for no reason, and often said the word "little ......" for no reason, but she couldn't remember anything.
Rin quietly looked at Wangshu's gradually widening eyes, let go of the hand covering her small mouth, and said, "But what...... After all, this is Wangshu's business, and your mother will respect your choice. "Everyone has the right to make their own choices about their own affairs, whether good or bad, right or wrong, and this right should not be denied......
"I want to know!!"
"Mom, I want to know. I don't know why, but I'm here to tell me that this memory is very important to me, and it's my most precious treasure......" Xiao Wangshu, who was covering his heart, raised his head and spoke to Rin in a more excited tone for the first time.
"Are you sure!"
"Yes. โ
Rin stared at her for a moment, put her finger on Wangshu's forehead, and said heavily, "Okay......"
She wants to unravel the memories that she has sealed...... Although the consequence of this is the sadness of Wangshu for ten years...... But she still had to push this sadness to Wangshu with her own hands.
At that time, she used the 'memory lock' to lock some of Wangshu's memories, and if she didn't take the initiative to unlock it, even if Wangshu recovered all her memories, the memories that she blocked would not be unlocked.
That sadness is over, and I should have greeted the smiling faces of my friends happily.
But......
The scenes of getting along with each other regained Wangshu's memory.
A bunch of people surrounded her, and she was there.
There's no one around, she's there.
On the swing under the tree, two girls hold a book and share it in the afternoon sun.
The silent defense was frozen in the moment when she pushed the boy down.
"Xiao Rou......" Wangshu lowered his head and whispered: "It's not a person, it's not a person." You did it on the swing under the tree, on the desks and chairs in the classroom, and you still remember that we are not alone...... You did it, but I forgot...... I forgot. The voice became lower and lower, and Wangshu didn't dare to raise his head.
Because at this moment, Wangshu felt very clearly that in her heart, she was complaining about the person in front of her who loved her the most!
Complaining about my mother...... No!
I know no, but I still complain......
She was afraid, her shoulders trembled, her crying was suppressed, and she did not dare to look up.
'Yes, Mommy!'
She knows what she knows, but she ...... Still complaining.
"If you want to cry, cry out, it's okay......" Looking at Wangshu, who was already in tears, Rin gently took her into his arms: "Wangshu, are you complaining about your mother?" Under the faint light of the stars and moon, Rin had a deep, parental love on his face.
"Mom's love I know, but... But I don't want to forget!"
"I'm sorry, Wangshu...... But I don't regret that decision at that time, even if Wangshu complains about me, I don't regret it. Rin reached out and rubbed her head and said, "It's hard to be a parent, it's really hard!"
looked at Wangshu's head down, trembling shoulders. Rin lifted her head, "You know, Wangshu's resentful mother will accept it all, because you are my Wangshu!" She looked at Wangshu tenderly, kissed her lightly on the cheek, and kissed away her tears.
"Woo woo woo ......" moonlight beach, the water is afraid of hitting the sand, and a low whimper in the gentle majesty is getting louder and louder, and finally turns into a howl.
Wangshu has always been quiet, even if she cries, she is silent, but at this time, she threw herself into Rin's arms and cried bitterly.
After a long time, Wangshu stopped crying.
She raised her head, looked at Rin with tear-stained eyes, and whispered, "Mom, ten years?"
"Yes, ten years. โ
"It will take ten years for you to fit into the netherworld, and after ten years, you can go to her. โ
Wangshu grabbed the corner of Rin's clothes and hesitated: "Mom... Is it okay to sleep with me at night? just like at home. โ
"yes, yes. โ
......
The next day, when the moon set
"Rin, let's go. Xiao Li shouted outside the door.
"It will take ten years for the Eternal Night Realm and the Netherworld to fully fit, and only after this short period of time can the Eternal Night Realm truly belong to the Eternal Night Realm of the Netherworld. Wangshu ...... Sleep well. Covering the quilt for the sleeping Wangshu, Rin turned to leave.
- It is not possible for a world to completely merge into the netherworld in a short period of time. There will always be differences in subtle things that are not visible to the naked eye, just like living things eat, and it takes time for food to become its own nutrients.
The banquet is still the same, Xiao Rin and Xiao Li left the eternal night realm together.
