"It's mushy!"

The figure of the boss just blocked my vision, and the voice came all the way, he was still the same as I first recognized, spotless, unchanged.

When I couldn't see him, I liked his voice, which was a slightly low accent that didn't make people feel dull.

He was saying thank you, and then there was the sound of several copper plates colliding with each other and landing on the palm of the boss's hand.

The paste was boiled from ginger grass leaves, with a little salt and less flour, and the spoons and bowls were worn out with notches.

Scoop up a spoonful of paste, which is as light as water, without a trace of sticky paste, and put the vegetable leaves into the bowl together.

"Taste it, you will never see it again."

I didn't need to eat much along the way, and when he was with me, I could go without eating for seven or eight days in a row, and the elders told me that as long as the demon practiced enough, it was very common for him not to eat for decades.

However, I was afraid that he would be hungry every time.

I think of when he turned into a little milk wolf, he would go to the tent on time every day, eat the milk tea cooked by Ah Niang, the fine chopped meat of Ah Da, eat until his stomach is round, and eat until his tail and legs are cocked.

In my memory, he was no different, he needed to eat just like me.

If you don't eat, you'll starve to death.

He also followed me all the way, accompanied me, we were always in one place, and if the elders' lessons made me feel sad, he was always the first to find out, and then accompanied me.

I don't know why, but as long as he's with me, I feel at ease.

"Good!"

In the same way, if he told me that I would remember the mushy taste, I would not hesitate to swallow a bowl.

Paste is not tasty, the worst thing I have ever tasted.

Along the way, when we enter the palace at night, we will enter another world of drunkenness, where everything will dazzle people, and will make people happy and forget their original intentions.

Although the paste is unpalatable, it is for me to remember in my heart that outside the imperial city, there is famine and war, ruin and depression.

I didn't have any rebuttal, I ate the paste, he said that he wanted to write his wish on the lantern, which was a beautiful sustenance, not to reach the gods, just to let himself have a belief.

If people want to live, they need a belief, faith is not extinguished, you can survive the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and if the faith is extinguished, you will die here.

I bit my fingertips to peek at what he was writing, but he was able to guess my thoughts and turned to another table.

"Anning, don't peek at me!"

When he turned his back to me all the way, I always felt that he also had eyes behind him, and he could see my every move, and he was discovered as soon as he stood up.

Well, I'll write my own.

I had no choice but to sit down, pick up the pen and look at the lantern, think for a moment, I raised the pen and left a sentence:

Find peace all the way, and return peacefully.

It's a lame word, not even a word, but I just like it.

All the way, it is the road that accompanies me, peace is me, and it is what I want to pursue for the rest of my life.

When Ah Niang and Ah Da named me, the reason why they chose Anning was that they hoped that my life would be smooth and peaceful.

Contrary to my wishes, I am here now, deep into the wolf's den, if I really need a belief, it is only this one:

I hope that one day I will be able to go through thousands of sails and taste the vicissitudes of life, but I can still return to my original self.

When I come, when I come, when I come, when I accompany me all the way, when I return, it is still me and all the way, we will be together, always together.

That's good, if you see it all the way and ask, then I also have two explanations, one is with him and the other is without him.

With his words, I hid them in my heart, and without his explanation, I could tell him without hesitation.

"Is it written?"

Still in that position all the way, he turned around and came back to ask me.

"What about you?"

I nodded, and with some weakness I held the lantern in my arms and covered the words on it.

"It's time to put on the lights."

Nodding all the way, getting up, waiting for me in the two steps ahead, I got up, took a step closer to him, he took a step forward, I ran forward, he ran forward.

There has always been some two-step distance between us, I am fast and he is fast, I am slow and he is slow, and after chasing a few times, I gave up.

It's boring, since he is determined to avoid me, no matter how much I chase him, he can't catch up.

Holding the lantern, I silently lowered my head and walked behind, feeling a little depressed in my heart, but this depression had no reason.

The street doesn't go far before the moat, where there is a bridge with steps under the bridge that extends to the river.

Along the way, I was told that in the past, the steps here were used by nearby residents to fetch water, wash clothes and vegetables.

Nowadays, here, only those who ask for immortals will put lamps here to pray for blessings.

There are steps on both sides of the bridge, and further on, not far apart, there is one more step, and back, at the same distance, there are steps on both sides of the river that extend down.

I was not on the same steps as the whole road, but on both sides of the bridge, one by one.

I know that he does not want me to see what he writes, and that he can hide from it, so that it is better to fulfill him, so as not to make myself angry.

I waited for the person in front of me to come up from below, glanced all the way, on his side, there were still people praying below, and looked back at the people waiting behind me, I didn't hesitate, so I went down first.

The lamp was lit in the palm of my hand, and I gently placed it in the water, and with just a slight push, it swung into the middle of the water.

My lamp, although it doesn't look very good, is really good in the water, and it doesn't go out as soon as it gets wet, but goes forward with the water.

I folded my hands, followed the example of those people, and muttered a pretended mutter, and then patted the dirt off my body and prepared to go back.

Suddenly, the water in front of me shook, and when I looked down, I didn't know where a water lantern floated in, and it looked the same as the one I put on, and the words on it just happened to come into view.

I recognize that word, it's all the way.

"I'm sorry you can help me push it, it's a little crooked!"

All the way up another staircase, winked at me.

He did it on purpose, how could he be downstream, and he could still push the Krathong upstream?

"Okay!"

As for me, I didn't say anything, I just followed his words, and I went to push the lamp again.

The lights fluttered, and they even caught up with my one, two lights, one in front of the other, accompanied each other, and went forward.

"Let's go, it's getting late, it's time to go back!"

I didn't put my hands together all the way, let alone kneel down, but just stood there with my hands behind my back, silently looking at the two lamps for a long time before I spoke.

"Okay!"

I nodded, and since I had pushed the lamp, I had followed him, and stood silently like this, watching the lamp go downstream.

Follow me all the way, and we will do the same in the future, accompany each other, warm each other, and we will be like this for a lifetime, for a long time.
