The sun, the moon and the king, life and death4
There is actually nothing fun in the town, Bai Wanwan followed Chaosheng to watch a few plays in front of people's temples, and then went to the Wangjiang Pavilion to bask in the sun for a while.
The real two salted fish, walking and stopping all the way, carelessly and without any goal.
She began to be lazy when she followed Chaosheng, humming and chirping along the way to hug, but she was too lazy to walk by herself.
"In the evening, the streets will be lively."
There is a custom in the town called the night market, which is crowded and bustling at night, when all the families come out to sell all kinds of different knick-knacks.
Bai Wanwan looked forward to it, Chao Sheng frowned when he heard it, the word night, for him...... Too strange.
"Brother Chaosheng, why do you say that I am the most unpleasant child in the village."
Bai Wanwan sat on the railing of the river, chewing pastries, swaying her legs, and the water of the canal passed under her feet, holding a river of broken light and flowing into the distance.
Chao Sheng sat beside her, with a thin rope hanging between his slender fingers, and the snack she bought was tied to the string: "When there were children going up the mountain before, I heard them say that there was a nasty little poor in the village. β
Bai Wanwan frowned and retorted fiercely: "I'm not!" β
Chao Sheng reached out to pinch her face: "Yes, I don't think you are pitiful at all." β
The little girl is obviously very fierce.
"Then you used to live in that spring?"
Strange, shouldn't the gods all live in the clouds, why does he stay underwater?
Chao Sheng was stunned, and his blue pupils shrank: "No, I'm not there." β
To be precise, he was born at dawn today, but the rest of his memories recorded everything.
Looking at the sun wheel in the west, Chaosheng closed his eyes slightly, and his thoughts began to drift away. Theoretically, once the sun was setting, he would have to go back to the spring.
"Let's go back early." As he spoke, he stood up and stretched out his slender hand at Bai Wanwan.
Bai Wanwan shook her head: "No, I heard that the night market is very lively, and there will be fireworks." Brother Chaosheng, let's go back after watching the fireworks. β
Chao Sheng didn't want to, but he really couldn't, his eyes darkened, and his tone was a little jerky: "Then leave you here alone to watch." β
Bai Wanwan looked up at him puzzled, her eyes full of loss: "Isn't Brother Chaosheng with me?" β
Actually, she just wants to watch the fireworks with him, it must be a very warm memory.
Chao Sheng was stunned, and the steps that wanted to turn around stopped, he bent his eyes, and there was more helplessness in his eyes than Qingming: "I can't stay until night." β
The world says: The crane is a thousand years old, with extremely swimming, the mayfly is born and dies at dusk, as much as it is fun, and the twilight of the cover is for a period of time, far from three days.
The mayfly is a thing that dies in the twilight of life, born in the first light and falls in the night. Even if he is a god, he can't escape the laws and regulations of heaven.
Obviously, Bai Wanwan also thought of this.
She lowered her eyes and asked cautiously as if she was afraid of something, "Then you will be there tomorrow?" How about I'll look for you tomorrow...... If you can't see the night market, you can't see it, and you have fun during the day. I'll go to the spring at night to squat on you, okay? β
Chao Sheng stretched out his hand and stroked her face, pursed the corners of his lips but announced that he was not happy: "See you next time, I'm afraid it's next year." β
Death in the twilight of life, one period and one year.
Bai Wanwan's eyes widened in a daze, for him, it was only a year, but she knew it...... I can't stay in this world for a year.
In other words, maybe today, it's the last one.
The snack in her mouth was instantly unsweet, and the bitterness that surged from the bottom of her heart made her seem to be out of breath, but they had only been playing together for a long time, and they hadn't done anything to leave good memories.
Even if it's one more fireworks, one more show, and one more street, it's fine...
But now, such a simple wish has become a luxury, and even the gods cannot realize it.
Bai Wanwan stood up, patted the ash on his body, recognized the direction, took Chaosheng's hand, and ran west.
Chao Sheng was afraid that she would stumble and fall, so he picked her up with his backhand and reached out to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead: "What's wrong?" β
"Let's go to the top of the mountain, where the sun sets the latest!"
Even if it was just to stay a little longer, she was reluctant to let him go, reluctant to separate. She asked him anxiously with her eyebrows and eyes, "Are you going?" β
He couldn't understand why she looked so panicked, maybe a year was just a blink of an eye in a deep sleep for the gods.
Chaosheng felt that she was innocent, and curled the corners of his mouth with a wry smile: "Even if it is so, it is useless......"
She didn't wait for him to finish speaking before she interrupted, the little girl's face was full of solemn seriousness, she reached out and grabbed his shirt tightly, afraid that he would suddenly disappear: "Brother Chaosheng, how can you become a god?" If I become a fairy, will I be able to play with you forever? β
The arrogant and noble god shook his head disapprovingly: "That's not good, it takes a lot of tests to become a god, and it will take a long time, and you are still so ......young."
He didn't dare to continue, and when the little girl in front of him heard the first sentence, she covered her eyes with her hands, and shrunk into a ball of extreme sadness.
He was at a loss, so he didn't know how to coax her like this, so he tentatively said softly: "I know which families have buried money in the mountains, let me tell you, can you use it to buy sugar gourds?" It's enough for you to eat for a whole year, and when the money runs out next year, I'll be back. β
Although this matter is not quite in line with the moral bottom line of the gods, Chaosheng can't care so much for the time being.
Didn't she say that the little girl had to rely on sugar gourds to survive? Then as long as he buys her enough sugar gourds, she will always be by his side.
Bai Wanwan covered her eyes with her hands, afraid that the sunset would be dazzling, and tears flowed out, and the inexplicable grievances in her heart were overflowing, forcing her to almost can't say a complete sentence.
Even in this kind of quiet world, can't you be with him? She reached out and hammered his shoulder in anger: "You said that you want me to grow up eating, and then I can swim in the water, but you are leaving now, you lie." β
Chaosheng frowned in embarrassment and explained: "When I come back next year, you will have grown up, haven't you?" β
But I ...... Where did it come from next year.
She was so aggrieved that she couldn't speak, so she simply lay on his shoulder and choked.
Chao Sheng's fingers trembled, wanting to touch her face, but he retracted it cowardly: "You wait for me? I have said yes, and I will return, and God will not deceive children. β
The little ball lying on his shoulder, even if he was carefully beaten, he was afraid of making her cry. Chaosheng suddenly felt that he was at a loss, and he didn't even know where to look.
The two of them stood in the pavilion, one did not speak, the other did not dare to speak, and the residual red sunset poured out the afterglow, and the hair of the two of them was also plated with crimson.
Chao Sheng thought she was asleep, and only moved slightly, and there was a whispered accusation from the little girl in his ears: "Why should I wait for you, we are not familiar with each other, and you can't accompany me to watch the fireworks, what do you think you are?" β
"I like your god."
Chaosheng replied bluntly.
Bai Wanwan's nose became more sore, and she let go of the hand that was tightly gripping the hem of his clothes, and she slid down the crook of Chaosheng's arm and stood on the chair in the pavilion.
"When you're gone, I'll be an orphan again, and the children in the village will bully me! Then I didn't have enough to eat every day and had nowhere to sleep. Bai Wanwan said loudly aggrieved.
The more Chao Sheng listened, the more solemn his expression became, and he only opened his lips tentatively: "If they bully you, you will come to the spring in the back mountain and tell me?" Although I am not here, I will remember it when I come back next year, and I will take you to avenge when the time comes. β
The more gentle he was, the more sad Bai Wanwan became, and he didn't know what he wanted to be angry about. Obviously, he is fine in every world, why can't he be together well, why can't she accompany him for a long time, why can't he watch him grow up.
After running to different worlds again and again, and pulling him out of the quagmire, he didn't even have a chance to see each other.
Isn't that sad?
Bai Wanwan was afraid that she would be embarrassed if she couldn't hold back her tears, so she hurriedly turned around and carried him. It's clear that I'm not a child anymore, so I can't be so naΓ―ve, and I can't stand even a little grievance, right?
When I raised my eyes, I saw that the sun wheel in the distance was almost hidden under the top of the mountain, and even the canopy of the sky had turned from crimson to dark blue.
Bai Wanwan looked back in panic, but saw Chao Sheng still standing in place with a smile on his eyebrows.
"Look, fireworks."
In the direction of his finger, a large field of brilliant fireworks bloomed, blooming in the prosperous era, and then drifting into ashes in the wind.
Bai Wanwan wiped her eyes and barely bent her eyes, and when she turned back, the pavilion was empty.
The dim sum was placed alone on the table, and the river breeze blew the subtle fragrance of gardenias, and she opened her mouth, but she couldn't call the person's name.
The water of the river sparkled like the broken light in the corner of the god's eyes when he laughed.
β¦β¦
By the river, passers-by who looked up at the fireworks whispered softly.
"On weekdays, the fireworks at night are only lit at midnight, why did they start to set off as soon as it was dark today?"
"Oh, Lao Zhao, you're confused, it's time now."
ββ¦ Is it? β¦ Odd... Why is it so late in the dark? β
The proud and gentle god used his subtle divine power to change the day and night, and accompanied her to watch a fireworks that lasted forever and for a short time.
A moment of splendor, a moment of eternity.
And since he left, even the whole world began to collapse, and the alternating sun and moon, a pool of rivers, and the fireworks in the sky all turned into light and dispersed into nothingness in an instant.
You said I'll see you next time, I'm afraid it's next year.
The next time we meet, we will be in the next life.
She stood in the shattered darkness, staring blankly in the direction the man had left, unable to wait for the next reunion.
The sun and moon in this world, and the king, are all born and died.
