I put on my down jacket and walked out the door. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The info river flows through our house and under our feet like an illusory being.

I bent down and put my hand into the water, the cold touch, the water literally lapping against my skin and flowing.

It's the real river.

As I approached, there was real snow that had fallen yesterday, which is why the river was so cold. But looking into the distance, the river seems to be getting greener and thicker, and spring seems to be close at hand.

I unconsciously walked along the river, and sure enough, the air gradually became warmer. After walking for a while, the down jacket on my body was already making me sweat slightly, so I took it off and held it in my arms, leaving only a sweater on my body.

After walking for a while, the greenery in my eyes became more and more intense. The river in front of him suddenly made a small turn, and at the bend of the river, an antique pavilion was built on the shore.

In the gazebo sat a lonely woman, gently leaning against the railing, looking into the distance in the direction of the river. I could see her delicate side face, and a cinnabar mole on her cheek really looked like a tear hanging down under her slightly frowning willow eyebrows.

The bright white river is flowing and meandering, like a vivid dragon.

"Sister Liqing......" I couldn't help but blurt out.

Hu Liqing turned her head, saw that it was me, and slowly stood up. She was wearing a costume gauze skirt like when they first met, but this time it was pure white, and her hairstyle was more plain than the last time.

Her temperament is also different from usual. Usually, she has curly hair with big waves, and her face is lazy and gorgeous. Although I learned that her real body was a "nine-tailed white fox", I had not carefully observed the fox, I had only raised a cat, and she usually looked like a wayward cat.

So now, her long black hair like clear soup noodles, her fresh and elegant classical appearance, and a touch of melancholy in her eyes are not used to me. However, inexplicably it seemed to be more suitable for her, which was what I was looking forward to seeing, and even when I looked at her like this, I could hear my own heartbeat slightly. I found that when I first met, she seemed to be seared in my mind.

Inexplicably a little happy.

"It turned out to be Shining." Hu Liqing straightened her clothes and strolled out of the pavilion, "There is no celebration today, or, let's take a walk here." ”

She didn't explain anything, as if everything was as it should be, as if I, a mortal, shouldn't have any doubts about this incredible thing. But I really didn't ask, after a dream last night, I already felt that there was nothing in the world that was unacceptable.

I followed her quietly and walked slowly along the creek with her.

Liqing usually talks a lot. She has probably been living in the fireworks of the world for a long time, so she is very aware of the changes in human society and can integrate well into the times. Communicating with her is no different from talking to a normal human woman.

But she was very silent today, we walked quietly, she didn't mean to talk, and I didn't dare to disturb her. I just remembered what Lichun said, saying that this kind of custom based on the feelings of relatives will always be lonely on anniversaries Liqing. Demons have gone through more than a thousand years of cultivation, and their relatives may not have become demons like them, perhaps a long, long time ago, before the shelf life of memory has passed, relatives have passed away in accordance with the laws of nature. They may not even remember who their loved ones are.

Lichun doesn't remember what kind of relatives he once had, but they weren't human and didn't care too much about it. But Liqing is different, she inexplicably likes humans and desperately wants to understand everything about humans, so she will be affected sadly.

I thought that even if I couldn't do anything, it would be good to accompany her like this.

I walked slowly behind her, simply admiring the scenery around me. As the distance from boredom grows farther and farther away, the seasons seem to change gradually, and the smell of spring becomes more and more intense.

On the banks of the river at your feet, more and more dead fish appeared.

At first, I didn't think it was just a normal natural phenomenon. Later, the number of dead fish was so alarming that they were even piled up in strange shapes, hindering our walking.

In my eyes, the rivers connected by Boredom are rivers belonging to the fantasy world, and there can never be such unenvironmentally friendly behaviors as "poisonous fish" and "fried fish".

I really felt strange, and I couldn't help but want to ask Liqing next to me. But Liqing suddenly reached out and grabbed me, pulling me back a few steps.

"Humility." Li Qing's slightly magnetic voice spit out two words in a low voice.

I saw her caress her heart with her hands, bowed her head, and made a shallow gesture similar to bowing and saluting, and hurriedly followed her example, bowing her head slightly.

But I couldn't help but sneak my eyes up to see what was going on.

A beautiful car that I have never seen in my life, with the sound of the wind and the roar of the river, roaring in front of my eyes.

The car is pale gold, and the body is decorated with countless flowering orchid herbs, and the fragrant smell seeps into the nose, which is refreshing.

It wasn't as simple as an ancient carriage, because it wasn't a horse at all, but a huge creature I'd never seen before, with a head and a fishtail, that looked a little like ...... Sea horse?

And the car, but it is driving on the river properly!

The "seahorses" and the wheels crushed the river, which seemed to the car to be a wide and flat asphalt road.

The windows are carved with ancient craftsmanship and are exquisite. There are no curtains hanging in the windows, and a middle-aged man in ancient costume and high bun can be seen sitting in the car, exuding a noble and pure temperament all over his body, which is unconsciously reminiscent of the waves of a great river.

As the car drove past us, the noble man suddenly turned his head and looked at me with a look of surprise. Under his gaze, I suddenly felt my own insignificance from the inside out, and I could not bear his gaze at all. So, I pressed my right hand against the pounding heart and lowered my head deeper.

"Alright, he's gone." When I heard Liqing's voice, my heart was still immersed in deep awe, and I couldn't get out of it at all.

"It's ......," I took a long time to speak.

"It's the river god." Liqing said, "For them, you still have to have respect." ”

Is this the Protoss? The grim gaze, the great power and the sense of oppression, really give people a feeling of no emotion - the guardian of order.

Hu Liqing pointed to the dead fish piled up on the ground and said: "The otter sacrifice fish, waiting for the wild goose north, the grass and trees sprout, this is originally the three waits for rain." Be careful not to step on it, just go around it. ”

"Otter sacrifice fish"? I thought about it carefully, and then I remembered that there was such a thing.

Legend has it that during the rains, otters often throw their catch onto the riverbank, which is said to be used to worship the river gods. When I was a child, I also heard from the nanny who helped at home that her home was in the countryside along the river, and she had seen the otter sacrifice fish during the rain.

I was young at the time, but I didn't believe what she was saying anymore, and I thought she was exaggerating and babbling. But today, I have seen it with my own eyes, and I finally understand that all these things summarized by the ancients are in accordance with the laws of nature, and not groundless.

"Animals still know the fear of God, but today's human beings no longer have gods in their hearts." Li Qing didn't know what she remembered, and said to herself.
