Chapter 16: The Kingdom of Clear Springs
Liu Xiaoxiao looked into the distance, as if she was recalling something. "Xiaoxiao?" Yan Tong called Liu Xiaoxiao in a low voice. Liu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and smiled: "Little Hitomi, do you know why Yama calls me the daughter of the forest?" Yan Tong shook his head: "I don't know." Liu Xiaoxiao said seriously: "Because I am a child born in this forest." Yan Tong couldn't believe it: "The child born in the forest? Liu Xiaoxiao nodded, and there seemed to be a brilliant spark blooming in the deep and charming green pupils: "This forest is my parents." Yan Tong was curious: "How did you know about what happened when you were a child?" ”
"When I grew up, I knew where I came from through the memories in the forest. I was conceived under the 10,000-year-old mulberry tree in the forest, when I was born, I was also a baby, the animals in the forest, which one of the small animals had milk, which one took me, I grew faster than the average child, only a year, I was already as old as a five-year-old child outside. At that time, my spiritual power slowly appeared, and I found that I could connect with everything in this world and get the news I wanted. It was also because I got too much information that I knew how wonderful the world outside the forest was, so I wanted to go to the outside world to see, but when I came to the border of the forest, I realized that there was an enchantment that I couldn't see or touch, blocking me from the outside world. I felt like a child in a cage, I wanted to be free, I wanted to get out, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break that barrier. So, I had no choice but to resign myself to staying in this forest.
That day, guided by a little bird, I came to the cave, the one where I live now. The cave was full of books about spiritual practice, and I was illiterate, but when I picked up a random book and opened it, I found that I knew every word in it. No matter what kind of text it is, as long as I open the book, I can recognize it. Since that day, I have been practicing all kinds of spells in the cave seriously, and I have found the spell that suits me most and studied it diligently. Finally, I also found a way out of the forest. ”
"Did you finally get out?" Yan Tong asked seriously. "Yes, at that time, it was my greatest wish to get out of this forest." Liu Xiaoxiao looked at the starry sky and lay on the other side of the tree trunk. "And then?" Yan Tong also lay down, looked at the night sky, and asked curiously.
"At that time, the human world was very chaotic, there were wars everywhere, and when I first arrived in the human world, I didn't understand anything, and I didn't know what they were fighting for. That day, I was wandering outside and saw a child, skinny and sallow-faced, lying in her mother's arms, dying. 'Mother, I want to drink water. The little girl murmured. I looked at the boy and felt very pitiful, so I took a jug of spring water from the forest and gave it to the boy to drink, and the boy drank it, and after a long time he regained his strength, did not eat, and did not feel hungry. When the refugees saw that the boy was well, they came to me and asked for water, and I brought a spring from the forest to the foot of the mountain. At that time, I was very happy to see the refugees being saved because of my spring water. The refugees also worship me as a god and have great respect for me. I took the refugees to rebuild their homes and establish a paradise, and the refugees also took the name Qingquan Village.
Because of the war, more and more people came to Qingquan Village, and the village became bigger and bigger, and then gradually, it became a small country, called Qingquan Country. I also don't know how to govern the country, and I don't understand humanistic politics, so under the election of the people, the first king was elected. He is a man who is both civil and military, brave and resourceful. According to his own words, he used to be the prince of a country, and it was only because of the turmoil in the world and the collapse of the country that he became a refugee. He governed the country very well, the people liked him very much, he was also very responsible, and he did everything himself. Speaking of this, Liu Xiaoxiao stopped, and there seemed to be crystals flickering in the clear green pupils.
"That man, is that your first love?" Yan Tong looked at Liu Xiaoxiao, who was distracted, and asked half-jokingly. Liu Xiaoxiao nodded, a little shy: "Yes." This touch of girlish shyness made Yan Tong feel Liu Xiaoxiao's beautiful emotions at that time. Wait, you said kings and people, that was thousands of years ago, right? Isn't that man already? Yan Tong reacted and did not continue. Can I ask him what his name is? Yan Tong diverted the topic. Qin Zhe. When Liu Xiaoxiao said this name, his face was full of happiness, and under the moonlight, this happiness rippled in the air with the moonlight.
"Qin Zhe is really a very good man, in the society at that time, a king like him is rare." Liu Xiaoxiao continued. Yan Tong shook his head: "I don't want to hear how a man governs the country, I want to hear how he conquered this beautiful girl in front of me." Liu Xiaoxiao smiled: "At the beginning of love, how can you talk about conquering or not conquering." "So, you're after him?" Yan Tong asked curiously. Liu Xiaoxiao shook his head: "I don't know what to do, I go deep." Yan Tong's face wrinkled unconsciously, and in the good night, he was pricked by this sudden handful of dog food. What you said is too literary, to be specific, you can't let go of the details. What I have is time anyway. Yan Tong still decided to dry this bowl of dog food.
"At that time, Qingquan Kingdom had just been established, and many systems needed to be improved. I was named the mother of the country of Qingquan, and my power was higher than that of the king, but I didn't know anything, I just played everywhere every day, and caused trouble everywhere. Qin Zhe has to deal with a lot of things every day, and when he rarely has time, he has to deal with the troubles that I have caused. At that time, although I was an adult, I was actually a child. When Liu Xiaoxiao said this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved.
Yan Tong sat up and looked at Liu Xiaoxiao, who was happy at the moment, and inexplicably felt a little warm in his heart. When I first saw Liu Xiaoxiao, I thought she was a fairy sister who didn't eat fireworks in the world. After getting along for a short time, I found that she was a gentle and kind woman. And today, under this moonlight, Liu Xiaoxiao seems to be a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who is in love again. I don't know what kind of man and what kind of story makes such a woman fall in love. And such a beautiful relationship seems to be beyond Yan Tong's reach. Not only that, the heart-piercing feeling just now is gone, Yan Tong just wants to listen to that beautiful love story seriously at this moment.
"What's wrong?" Liu Xiaoxiao saw Yan Tong looking at her with a serious face, and asked curiously. Yan Tong shook his head: "It's okay, you continue, I'll listen carefully." After saying that, Yan Tong lay on the trunk of the tree again, looking at the moonlight, looking forward to the next story.
