-46 A legend

The black forest under the rain curtain is like being washed away by the water, gradually revealing some green, with the increase of rain, the lost vitality quietly returns to the leaves, and after a while, the whole black forest is covered with a layer of fresh green color.

The red bird that flew away flew back with a 'chirp' and stopped above the grass, and the glass bead in its beak, like a soap bubble that slowly grew larger, gradually enveloped the bird. The yellow light flickered, and the bird stood still, turning into a palm-sized piece of amber and falling on the grass, and when the wind blew, it hid under the blades of grass.

Three men in field uniforms walked into the woods to hide from the rain, probably not long after entering the abyss, except for some mud splashes on their bodies, they were full of energy.

"I don't know when it's going to rain." A baby-faced boy in his twenties, shaking off the rain from his body, said to the other two.

The other man with glasses smiled and took the words: "Hehe, wait, our mission is estimated to be incomplete for a while." ”

"Why?" Babyface asked curiously.

"The first time you came down, I don't know, the rain in the abyss has no end when it comes, you are lucky, and wait."

"Lucky? How do you say that? ”

The man with glasses wiped his glasses with the corner of his clothes and said: "The beasts here are afraid of rain, and they all hide when it rains, as long as you don't encounter a few powerful dark creatures, and the upper three floors are unimpeded, do you think you are very lucky?" ”

"Are we just going to do it?"

"Or else?" The man with glasses spread his hands, showing a helpless expression.

Babyface looked at the outline of the mountain outside the woods that was blurred by the rain and mist, and did not speak again.

Except for the sound of rain, the whole forest was silent for a while.

I don't know how long it took, but the middle-aged man who had a long beard and never spoke, suddenly sighed, looked at the rain curtain and muttered to himself.

"Hey, they all say that the rain in the abyss is a girl's tears, and I think this girl can cry too."

The baby-faced and glasses man looked at him at the same time, both of them were very curious, especially the glasses man, who asked with a gossip on his face, "Girl's tears?" Brother, how do you say this? ”

The beard lit a cigarette, sat down on the spot, and said, "I've heard the older generation talk about it before, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

The man with glasses suddenly became interested and leaned over to the beard's side: "Anyway, it's okay, let's hear it." ”

"Let's start with this...... I don't know how long ago it was, but that's basically the story......"

The beard took two puffs of his cigarette and told a legend that had been passed down in the abyss for a long time.

There was a girl who did not cry from the day she was born, she had no tears, and the people believed that she was favored by the gods, worshipped her as a holy woman, and built a palace for her.

The girl was very happy and felt that she was really the lucky one chosen by the gods, and she fell asleep with a smile every day and woke up with a smile. Although the boring and lengthy prayers always tormented her knees, her people were protected by the gods from plague and beast tides.

Later, when she grew up, she met a boy, and the two fell in love, and after stealing the forbidden fruit, the girl became pregnant, and after that, her prayers could no longer bring protection to her people, and countless people died in the disaster, and the fire destroyed their homes.

Enraged, the tribesmen imprisoned her, secretly drowned her child, and sacrificed the boy to the gods.

"When the girl found out, she finally shed tears for the first time, and it was rumored that it was raining heavily that day, but the fire was not extinguished."

"And then?" Babyface asked.

"Later...... The girl died. ”

"How did you die?"

"I committed suicide by throwing myself into the fire." With a flick of his fingers, he flicked the cigarette butt into the rain, "It is said that he also put a curse before committing suicide." ”

"What curse?" The man with glasses said curiously.

"The rain that curses the abyss will never quench the fire here, unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless it rains in the sky again, hehe, how can the rain be hot, it's just a bloody love story, don't talk about it, I'll squint for a while."

The beard patted his ass and stood up, found a dry shade, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Babyface reached out and tested the temperature of the rain, it was very cold, and asked the man with glasses on the side: "This rain really can't put out fire?" ”

"Are you really serious? It's a legend, if you don't put out the fire, the abyss would have burned bald a long time ago, where did you get so many flowers and plants. ”

"Yes."

Babyface took his hand back, shook off the rain on it, and cursed himself for his ignorance.

……

In the cave, Lu Banxin looked at the four people by the bonfire, and his open mouth was not closed for a long time.

"It's too ...... story It's fantasy. ”

She wasn't too embarrassed to put it too bluntly.

But when it comes to the stories of the gods, most of them are really just stories, and if the gods really exist, they must be busy every day, how can they have time to listen to the nagging of these mortals. Besides, the hot rain can be felt by yourself, maybe your senses have changed, and it doesn't match the legend at all.

"Originally, I didn't believe it, but since you can feel the temperature of the rain, this story is not necessarily false." Qi Xue propped her head and suggested to Lu Banxin: "If you don't wait to go back and ask Kang Lao, he may be able to know." ”

"It's fine." Lu Banxin nodded, and suddenly saw Tu Jiang on the opposite side with a look of wanting to speak and stopped, and asked, "Tu Jiang, do you have something to say?" ”

Tu Jiang heard Lu Banxin call him, and hurriedly glanced at Cong Hai, who was farthest away from him, and saw that he didn't pay attention to himself, so he laughed twice and said, "Hehe, in fact, the story you told is not complete. ”

Lu Banxin became interested and asked, "Is it?" Then tell me about it. ”

"When I was a child, I heard my grandmother say that the girl actually gave birth to a pair of twins, and the one who drowned was the son, and the daughter was sent away by her in advance, as for where it was sent, the story didn't say, and there is another point, about the curse before the girl died, what you said is different from what I heard."

Tu Jiang glanced at Lu Banxin, and saw that she was waiting for the next with an expectant expression, and without waiting for her to speak, he continued: "What the girl said is that in the future, there will be another girl who will completely burn this land with a hot rain, and everyone who forces her to death and their descendants will be cursed forever from the demons. Well...... That's pretty much it. ”

After he finished speaking, the eyes of the other three people fell on Lu Banxin at the same time.

Lu Banxin's expression froze, pointed to his nose, and said with a smile: "Me? Another girl? No kidding. ”

"Hmm." Qi Xue nodded approvingly, "I can't do such a thing as arson." ”

Feng Xinran said: "It's probably a coincidence, don't worry." ”

Tu Jiang didn't speak, but kept staring at Cong Hai in the distance.

Cong Hai smiled, his eyes were still very gentle, but there seemed to be something strange in the depths of his eyes that others couldn't detect.
