Chapter 206: Chrysanthemum Wine
I just remembered that this river, when had I ever seen it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Thinking about it like this, I feel very sure that in the spring, I once walked here with Liqing. At that time, I also saw the wheel of the river god whizzing by, and for the first time in my heart I evoked an indescribable sense of awe.
But now, whether this scene is real or dreamy, I have an inexplicable conviction in my heart that the river god is no longer here.
The river gods no longer guard these streams of water, and no longer guard this world dominated by humans.
The river still flows incessantly, and at this time of year, many fish can be seen congregating at the shallow waters of the great river, and their shadows can even be seen with the naked eye.
During the cold season, the weather gets colder, the sunlight in the deep water cannot penetrate, and the water temperature is too low, so the fish will gather at the warm water's edge. At this time, many people will fish in the shallow waters, and the scene is quite lively, and people call it "autumn fishing".
But this year, no one will be in such a mood.
The rules of the four seasons are still like an invisible hand, ruling the changes and ups and downs of all things in nature, but what is the difference? The Protoss gave up the protection of humanity, perhaps starting from the loss of the most basic respect for the laws of nature.
The delicate balance between all things has been quietly broken unconsciously.
I woke up suddenly, opened my eyes, and found myself sitting in the bathroom, halfway off my clothes.
I probably shouldn't have woken up at this time.
I was wearing a suit I had never seen before, and my clothes were almost soaked with blood. In fact, to be able to tell that this is blood, you need some special perception, because some of these "blood stains" are not even red.
"Hey, is it really good for a person to sneak this around?"
I accidentally took control of my body, so now I'm left to remove the disgusting garment myself.
We haven't had this kind of communication for a while. He is silent in me and speaks only when necessary.
"I'm sorry Shining," said the white dragon, "you've been in an unconscious state lately, always wandering around in my consciousness, and it's become a little difficult to control you. ”
I thought, I should have woken up quietly in my own bed after everything was done, right? But, for some reason, I broke his grip on my body and woke up early to become what I am now.
"If you go on like this, you're going to have some ...... in no time It's not a good change...... "I voiced my worries.
"Perhaps." "But I have something I have to do." ”
I understood what he was referring to. Perhaps, this is the last Protoss willing to make a great sacrifice for the survival of the human world.
"All this...... Is it all because of us? ”
I hesitated for a moment, but I still asked about the concepts and conjectures that I had gradually formed in my dreams over the past few days.
In fact, I have already felt this way for a long time, but I have always been reluctant to admit it in my heart.
The huge disaster that happened in the world this time, the blood-colored moon that appeared in a row, was not because of anything else, it was the punishment of us human beings by the rules of the world, right?
The Demon God, that is to say, said that a long, long time ago, there was a blood moon disaster in the world. That time, it was mainly the punishment of the Demon God Dao by the rules of the world. It seems that anything that upsets the balance and is not recognized by the rules of the world has the potential to bring about a profound disaster. So, this time, there must be something that caused all of this to happen, and I think it could only be us.
What else can turn the world we live in into what I dreamed it was, but humans?
Today's human beings no longer follow the true meaning of the laws of nature that they observe with their own eyes as time changes. Now that we have many weapons, we have equipped ourselves with sharp teeth of steel, and we regard ourselves as the controllers of the laws of nature.
Although there have always been worries about whether the current human world will develop too fast, and many people have shouted that the goal of development cannot be achieved by destructive means, species are still extinction at an incredibly high rate, and many corners of the world have appeared in a terrifying scene.
It's always a fluke -- it can't be that fast.
The end of science fiction films is often set a hundred years later, and the human world is in ruins because of nuclear war. But humanity still overestimates its own power, because beyond the human world, there is an invisible hand waving an invisible baton.
Turning the earth into a lifeless ruin or something, the invisible hand will not allow it to happen.
So now, human beings, a race that has lost the most basic reverence for nature, may have been recognized as a harmful "cancer" by nature itself.
If we are abandoned by nature, what will become of our race?
The white dragon was silent inside me, and I thought that meant he affirmed my reasoning.
If that's the case, it doesn't seem like we're going to be able to change it on our own.
Will we be able to go back in time one day? When I think about it, I feel that I don't have much confidence, so those seemingly ordinary memories in my life have become extra worth cherishing.
I don't know what I can do at this juncture of change, and I don't know what I should do to get back to the peaceful life I used to have. But at such moments, I am not as confused as I was at the beginning, and I no longer have the feeling of the walking dead that I used to have.
At least, there are battles I can go to. My power is small, but I can do something positive even if I am small. If each small individual can give their best to the same goal, then the power will be enormous.
Overcoming smallness with the strength of a group and creating miracles is the greatest characteristic of human beings, right?
On the day of the cold dew, I took out a small jar of chrysanthemum wine, tied it with red silk, and sent it to Bai Hehuan as a gift to thank her for helping me steam flower cakes on the eve of the Double Festival.
This girl seems very reserved and quiet, in fact, when she comes to our bar, she often asks for a few drinks, so I don't think she will refuse such an alcoholic drink.
On the contrary, you might like it even more.
The chrysanthemum wine I took out at this time was actually brewed a month ago.
At this time, only the ritual of drinking chrysanthemum wine and praying for blessings and avoiding disasters can be roughly considered complete.
In addition to chrysanthemum, koji and glutinous rice, some herbs such as wolfberry, angelica and rehmannia are also added, which not only has an auspicious meaning, but also has the effect of strengthening the body. I tasted the brewed sake, and it tasted a little sweet and refreshing.
At least, even today, when there is peace for the time being, pray hopefully to the world and tell it that there are still people who are willing to believe in and protect what it has to offer.
