Chapter 207: Persimmons
The weather is getting colder day by day, and at night it is so cold that I exhale a thick white air. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Outside the yard, there are two persimmon trees planted in the beginning of winter, which have long been full of fruits. At this time, the color of the persimmon becomes particularly red by the frost of the night, and from a distance, it looks like a string of red lanterns.
After the frost, the persimmons really become delicious.
Frost itself has the custom of eating persimmons, and as for the origin of the custom, there are different opinions. Some say that if you eat persimmons in frost, you won't have a runny nose, and some say that you will eat persimmons in frost to prevent your ears from freezing.
In short, no matter what kind of statement it is, it is the kind of small, trivial, "good thing" in life.
It's the word "little luck" that the ancients didn't use.
Lichun said that in previous years, at this time, there would always be children who quietly climbed the trees and stole the persimmons planted in Lidong to eat. I haven't experienced any of this before, because this is only my first year in the boring fast, and I don't have any "history" in my memory.
But it's also interesting to think about that scenario. The children are naughty, thinking that the owner of this side does not know, but who would have thought that the owner of this house is not an ordinary person, and what is the wind and grass that they can't detect?
It's just that they are all loving beings for human beings, and they will only be quietly spectators, and will never come out to stop them.
The two persimmon trees in front of the door are extremely thick, and I don't know how many years they have lived. Speaking of which, I've never seen such a large persimmon tree, and as a fruit tree, the persimmon tree has always been thin and weak.
Since this tree was planted in the beginning of winter, then, even in this place, they must have lived for many, many years.
It's a pity that this year, I didn't see children running to steal persimmons, and they were all locked up at home by adults and protected. So this year, I climbed the tree myself to pick persimmons to eat.
In fact, in order to pick persimmons, human beings have already made very scientific long-handled pliers in life. As long as you clamp the persimmon and twist it gently, you can pick it intact. If the stem is long enough, you can pick persimmons from any high place.
However, I still feel more comfortable climbing up the tree to pick and eat, and the persimmons that are already sweet seem to become sweeter, and I feel very happy when I spit out the persimmon seeds under the tree while eating.
On the day of frost, how can you not eat persimmons?
Unexpectedly, these days, ordinary people around have begun to come over and ask for a few persimmons to eat.
It seems that a tradition that has been gradually forgotten by modern people for a long time is beginning to be cherished again.
Probably human beings are always like this, if they are not facing loss, they will never realize what they once had.
For several months, there were no natural disasters, and in a state where normal life had almost come to a standstill, time naturally passed very slowly. So people have had plenty of time to think, and now our world is gradually becoming lively again, almost to the point of restoring order.
In addition to the basic municipal supply, people are now trying to start some activities in areas they are familiar with. For example, television programs and radio broadcasts have begun to speak again, and there are traces of people in the fields and fields, and the streets and alleys are once again alive.
However, this time the people I met, even those I had known before, seemed different from what they used to be.
On television, on the radio, on the Internet, everywhere a voice can be heard, there are people who are enthusiastically discussing all the drastic changes that have taken place in the past six months, and many people have begun to reflect on the rapid and desperate development of mankind in recent decades.
I was surprised to find that some people's speculations about the causes of the current situation are almost true.
There are also people who stand up and call loudly, hoping that from now on, we can seriously protect the world we live in, and stop harming the world that has nurtured mankind for generations because of our greed.
Among them, including Qu Chunhua, the boss of "Qu's Paper", who I visited before and has been preparing for the arrival of the "Demon God Age".
He was the one who brought me very precious news of my father from another world, and even gave me a chance to meet my father who I missed the most in another world, which is extremely important to me, so he is kind to me, and I have been following his news.
It's hard not to pay attention because his image is often seen on TV and online.
Although he has personally experienced the coming of the end times, he does not believe that the future is immutable, so he has been shouting loudly and urging people to cherish the land under their feet.
In fact, since five years ago, when he was given a chance to be reborn, he has been investing in research to reduce the level of pollution in the polluting paper industry, regardless of the cost.
I've always had a lot of admiration for him. Because in my imagination, if I knew in advance that the future was likely to be a time of eternal darkness and despair, the most likely state for people to fall into should actually be complete depression.
Another person who is determined to make an effort is our bar regular, the fragile girl - Acacia.
But I'm no longer surprised by her. Through the time of acquaintance, I have already discovered that she seems to be weak, but she is very tough inside, and she seems to be getting stronger and stronger.
Speaking of which, everything seems to be moving in a good direction. When human beings know how to introspect, I believe that our race is a race that can work miracles.
But this good change did not alleviate my inner worries.
That's because, although they are thinking and reflecting, their eyes are blinded, after all, they can't see everything in this world that is shrouded in a veil of mystery.
In the long history, the most serious disaster occurred, the blood-colored moon appeared four times in a year, which is known as the "chain of four blood moons". And the gods who dwell in me have said that the calamity we face today will never be easier than any trial we have ever experienced in the past.
Therefore, I expect that this year's blood moon will occur at least four or more.
As for what the world will be like then, it's hard to imagine.
According to a simple calculation of the days of the first two blood moons, the blood moon should appear almost once every season, and the time of the first two occurrences happens to be on the day of the solar term. Now, it's been almost three months since the last Blood Moon appeared, and it's the last solar term of autumn, so the chance of a Blood Moon appearing on the day of frost is probably quite high.
