Chapter 171: Dry
The aura of slaughter gradually rises, but the human body does not calm down because of this, but becomes more unstable in this season. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Around the time of the heat, due to the dry climate in early autumn, people often have a series of inexplicable symptoms such as body heat, chapped lips, chest tightness and headache. When I wake up in the morning, I always feel that my throat is dry and my throat is swollen and sore, and even if I drink a large glass of water, I can't quench my thirst at all. Such symptoms are like a cold, but it is not a cold, and taking cold medicine indiscriminately will not help at all. The ancients have already discovered this phenomenon that belongs to autumn and called it "autumn dryness".
In fact, this kind of problem, as long as you pay attention to your diet and eat less spicy food, with the passage of time, the autumn rain will soon be alleviated. Moreover, modern people live in a room with a suitable temperature in all seasons, with a dehumidifier when wet and a humidifier when dry, and this kind of physical change due to the changes of the four seasons has become less and less obvious.
However, there are no such devices in our dwelling in the boring fast, and I am happy to use my body to feel the changes of the seasons again, as if I have returned to the childhood days of human beings.
So now, my purely human body had to figure out a way to deal with the dry cough that came every morning.
"Sister Liqing, is there a way to take me to pick some autumn pears?" I took a chance to ask her.
Autumn pear is only something in the north, it is a good thing to go to autumn dryness, originally with the current level of logistics, the market will be sold everywhere, but unfortunately it is a very moment, the materials in the market have become scarce, and only local agricultural products can be bought.
No one is producing, no one is transporting, and it is still a small number of people who come out to move. However, nature itself does not cower into returning home out of fear, and there are many such things as autumn pears in the mountains of the north.
I didn't look for the Lichun who responded to my requests, nor did I look for the resolute Lixia, which was purely selfish. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to go out for a walk with a beautiful woman for a while?
I'm not as cringed as I used to be.
Life is short for decades, and it is like a white horse, and many things only need to be hesitated for a moment, and they may miss it and never come back.
So, no matter which path you choose, why not live a little more to the fullest?
"Autumn pear, do you want to pick it in the mountains?"
"Hmm."
"What are you doing with that? It's not delicious. ”
"I want to make some autumn pear cream, but I've been coughing a little lately."
"Hmm......"
She thought about it, then stood up and said, "Let's go." ”
"Let's go?"
I'm still wearing an apron, and I'm actually getting ready to make dinner.
"You don't need to pick too much, it's not like a while!"
For a demon like Liqing, distance is not a matter at all. Demon hunters can sometimes achieve long-distance spatial transfer through rune tools, but that costs a lot of money, and using them for such a small thing is definitely not worth the cost.
I followed Liqing into the backyard of the bar, which changed shape and became open as we stepped in.
The path in the backyard zigzags into the unknown distance, a sight that only appears during the solar terms.
We walked along the trail and soon the trail turned into a winding mountain road. Looking around, the surrounding area is full of rolling hills, and the trees are tall, quite different from the trees in the city we live in now. So, it's probably really in the mountains of the north.
As for the wild autumn pears, they are easy to identify, so I brought a shopping bag and picked a full bag in a few moments.
When I was picking pears, Liqing somehow sat on top of a thin branch, looking into the distance in a daze, as if thinking about something. The skirt of her long skirt hung down and fluttered gently in the breeze, almost touching my hair, and my heart itched too.
She seems to love to sit on the tree, and I remember the scene in my dream. In her dream, she sat on top of the branch and looked down at the man in white under the tree.
What does Liqing want in her heart? What can I do to make her happier?
I think that after such a long time, thousands of years of time that humans can't understand at all, she should actually be very lonely.
"Alright, come, come down!" I held out a hand to Liqing in the tree.
Hu Liqing looked at me in surprise, and her eyes seemed to say: Won't I be able to get down?
"Come on." I insist.
Li Qing hesitated, but still bowed down and gently placed a delicate and delicate wattle in my palm.
I held her hand and supported her, and she jumped down from the tree with the light light of a normal human.
A normal human male should have such a gentlemanly demeanor at such a time, right?
Although this was a joke and a joke to tease her, the delicate touch and faint temperature of that hand still made my heart beat faster, and it lingered in my consciousness for a long time.
I don't have a long life, and I don't have a lot of time to care for her. Even if I don't know how to please a woman, I want to try to do more to not make her feel lonely.
"Autumn pear paste seems to be a recipe handed down from the Tang Dynasty, does Sister Liqing know what the recipe of the Tang Dynasty is?"
"I don't know." She took her hand away from my palm, "There are so many things about human beings, where can I know everything?" And I'm not interested in making food or something, it's very troublesome! ”
That's why you need someone like me who is willing to run around in the kitchen, right?
Although I couldn't inquire about the ancient formula, I affirmed my own value in a certain way.
Demons who are willing to get close to humans and live with humans are rare, so they can be regarded as a valuable asset after spending a long time with humans. It's a pity that I'm not interested in literature and history, otherwise the stories and information I get from them would be enough to write a long treatise.
The sky was slightly darker, and the pale outline of the moon appeared faintly in the east.
"Hey, it's going to be a full moon, and it looks like tomorrow will be fifteen!" Li Qing looked at the east and suddenly said, "July 15 is the Midyear Festival, do you want to go to the river lanterns together?" ”
It dawned on me that the meaning of this full moon in the summer season is different.
July 15 is the Midyear Festival, also known as the Ghost Festival. It is said that the birthday of the heavenly official is on the fifteenth day of the first month, called the Shangyuan Festival, and the main duty is to bless the world; The birthday of the magistrate is on July 15, called the Midyear Festival, and his main duty is to forgive sins in the world; The birthday of the water official is on October 15, which is called the Xia Yuan Festival, and his main duty is to relieve the misfortune of the world. Therefore, the mid-year festival is the legendary day of forgiveness of sins, and there are often large-scale spontaneous sacrificial activities among the people.
Because the local officials are in charge of the gates of hell, the heaven and earth officials open the gates of hell on the Midyear Festival, and the deceased ancestors can go home for reunion, so the people want to set up a dojo and put steamed buns for the lonely souls and wild ghosts to eat. On this day, it is necessary to pay homage to ancestors, go to the grave, and put river lanterns to light the way home for the deceased. The Taoist temple will hold a grand puja and pray for auspicious blessings, and the content is to transcend the soul of the deceased.
I don't know what these legends about the afterlife world are in the eyes of the demon, and whether they are correct or not, but I feel that the reason why Liqing asked me to put the river lantern must be related to the still strong sorrow in my heart.
I couldn't help but be very moved, and I was about to nod my head in agreement, but suddenly I realized that tomorrow, if it was July 15, I would not be able to go at all.
