Chapter 125: Summer Solstice

Rixia was startled and almost threw the tray in his hand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"What the hell!" Seeing that it was me, he roared angrily.

I've never grabbed him so suddenly, so he reacted a little strongly. It just so happened that there were no guests in the place where I was standing, so he was relieved to yell at me.

How familiar I am with him, he never treats people gently, and it is difficult to get a compliment from him. However, from his fierce tone, there was no real malice.

In the same way, he is not as empathetic as Lichun when he treats guests, nor is he as noble and elegant as Liqiu, he is very casual and straightforward, but he is very quick and precise in doing things. At first, I was very curious, wouldn't such a grinning and unsweet waiter be complained? But I didn't expect that Lixia's fans were no less than Lichun and Liqiu.

Moreover, he is especially easy to circle fans among young girls, and even some underage girls who try to sneak into the bar are all coming for Lixia.

Before I knew it, after spending half a year in the bar, I understood all of this, so at this moment, when Lixia turned around and glared at me with raised eyebrows, I suddenly couldn't tell him the news that Gen had asked me to bring him.

I loosened his sleeve and whispered, "It's fine." โ€

Rixia glared at me for a moment and muttered lowly, probably scolding me. Then he turned away and went about his own business.

I kind of hated myself for being indecisive. This had to be told to him, and not just because it was my promise to Gen. It was precisely because this matter should be very important to Lixia that Gen came to tell him that I thought so too. But it was precisely because of the importance of this matter that I suddenly couldn't say it at this momentโ€”it was a matter of life and death, after all.

When Rixia turned his head and looked at me with a pair of amber eyes, I suddenly thought of myself the moment I heard the news of my parents' death. At that moment, my whole mind went blank and my body felt the pain first than my consciousness.

What does the death of the demon clan look like? After all, their lives are so long, so, as a human being, I can't imagine at all, will they see through life and death and overcome sorrow because of the length of life, or will they turn their emotions into something deeper and more worthy of attachment because of the length of their lives?

Anyway, I couldn't have looked him in the eye and passed the news to him like this.

After thinking about it, I took a pen and paper from the bar, and wrote down the message that Gen had asked me to bring to Lixia, and wrote it down into a note, and wrote Gen's name.

After thinking about it, I added another sentence below.

"I believe that one day, I will meet the people I love the most in another unknown world and reunite. At that moment, I wanted to be able to say to them that I was doing well and that my life was not wasted. โ€

I wrote them, looked at them, and suddenly felt very childish, so I erased them again.

I folded the note and quietly tucked it into the pocket of my cargo pants hanging on the hanger in the locker room.

Humans tend to complicate things, maybe not as complicated as I think?

However, when I look at their clothes hanging in the dressing room, I always have a feeling that I have to be careful. They are demons, and they can use all kinds of spells that humans can't imagine, that is, clothes or something, you can have them by changing them, and you don't need to change them so hard by hand. But the clothes in front of them were all bought by them in the mall, not by magic, but by genuine human beings.

They are also different from ordinary demon clans, and after listening to Gen's story, I feel even more so.

After that night, Lixia suddenly disappeared for a few days, leaving no information and no trace.

But none of the people in the bar showed any concern.

I quietly went to ask Liqiu, and knew that Lixia had indeed disappeared quietly, and did not explain to the boss or them where to go or how long he was going. However, Liqiu said in an indifferent tone as usual: "Don't worry about him, I'll be back in a few days." โ€

I think Ritsu must have made some kind of decision because of the note I left. So is he going to meet the "old man" now? If he sees someone who is hostile to him, what danger will happen? Will Gen be there? Will the two of them meet there?

I was a little relieved to see that everyone else in the bar was indifferent. They have been together for at least three thousand years, and they must know each other more deeply than me, who has only known Lixia for half a year.

And it seems that if any of them want to leave, they don't need to go through any instructions and approvals. This also shows that they are all free, and they are not forced to stay here because of any restraints.

When Lixia returned, it was the day of the summer solstice.

In the early morning of this day, I was still wondering if Lixia would come back. Because today, there is a celebration in the bar, right?

The solar terms that Lixia is absent haven't passed after all, haven't they?

In fact, since the rain in the valley, on the day of every solar term, I have some trepidation, because there is always a premonition that if there is a next catastrophe in the world, it should happen on such a day. But so far, at least in the place where I live, nothing out of the ordinary.

I don't know what kind of method Liqing will use to commemorate the day of the summer solstice, but the saying "winter solstice dumplings and summer solstice noodles", even if I haven't deliberately learned about the solar terms before, I still know it.

For some reason, the summer solstice is nothing special, but it is easier to remember than other solar terms. The custom of eating noodles on this day is also observed by more people with an indifferent attitude.

"Today is the summer solstice, you should eat noodles!"

"Really? Then eat noodles! โ€

It's probably such an attitude, and when you remember it, it doesn't hurt to eat it, but there is a sense of auspicious ritual.

As for why you want to eat noodles on the summer solstice, there are many opinions, and some even say that eating noodles on the summer solstice can protect against lightning. I think this statement is the most unreliable, because as far as I know, it seems that the dragon god clan specializes in thunder and lightning, and the white dragon god, who has the most lethal thunder and lightning power among the forces of nature, is a guy who likes humans very much, and will never use thunder and lightning to split humans for no reason. As for eating some noodles to protect against lightning or something, then there is no reason.

Therefore, I think it is more logical to say that the summer solstice is the time of the new wheat harvest, and you can eat the first bite of new noodles of the year. Eating noodles at this time has the meaning of "trying something new" in it. It is more likely that this custom started in the north and was passed down from generation to generation.

So I decided to make a bowl of noodles and eat it for everyone's breakfast. (To be continued.) )
