After the trip to the River Styx, I successfully recovered the White Dragon, but suddenly there was a long-lost gap in my life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At one time, he was busy every day, in addition to working in a bar, he had to quietly go out to hunt demons and absorb their spirits. Now, there is no need to do this for the time being, so it seems that I have suddenly been given a short "vacation".

As if echoing my "holiday", some inexplicable changes have taken place in the daily life around me.

First of all, the bar suddenly became lively, and many customers came to drink and chat, venting their long-suppressed uneasiness. It has been several months since the last great natural disaster, and the calm of the months has calmed people's panicked hearts to a certain extent, and they have begun to think about how they should live if the peace continues.

So, many people have started to come out again, but what most people choose to do is very different from before.

For modern human beings, the pace of life is always so fast, sometimes a day passes, and you can't remember what happened on that day. I've had the feeling of being so caught up in tasks on my to-do list that I'll never finish, and I'm so confused that I don't even have time to think about it.

However, when a person has been threatened with death, his thoughts often take a 180-degree turn, and many things that were once important can be meaningless in an instant. For example, if you encounter a terminal illness and misdiagnosis in the hospital, you will often choose a completely different life path after the death notice is revoked.

There is an old saying that we age too fast and become smart too late. For everyone, it takes time and experience to become smart, but the total time of human life is actually very small.

It is rare for such a large number of people to face the threat of death at the same time. In fact, in my heart, I feel that this is not necessarily a bad thing for human beings.

Because it makes the whole of humanity start thinking.

So now, I'm happily serving the guests in the bar.

Many of the people who came were regular customers, and I was glad to see that they had survived many of the previous crises safely. The bar was filled with soothing music and the lights were turned up a little brighter than usual, effectively soothing people's nerves.

There was a lot of laughter and laughter in the bar again, and I was a little confused for a moment, as if I had returned to the time when I had just arrived and was just beginning to get acquainted with the environment.

I remember that it was still spring, and it was also the best time of spring, the temperature was comfortable, the climate was pleasant, and it was indeed a little similar to now.

Hehuan has always been a regular here, and even when the bar is at its quietest, she sometimes stops by for a glass of flavored wine and a chat. I was amazed to learn from the conversation with her that she hadn't even stopped working. In fact, it is because of these courageous people that our modern life can function normally.

It was she who told me in this lively bar that the world seemed to have changed a lot.

"People seem to be reflecting on their own behavior, on whether they have lost something over the years by focusing on rapid development. Anyway, the cause of many strange things in the past cannot be found, so people have to look at themselves. ”

She showed me some information on the Internet, and I thought that no matter what people are guessing is right or wrong, the only thing that is certain is that as long as you start to reflect, it will always be a good start.

It's almost the autumn equinox, and it's been a long time since I've been able to spend a solar term with all of you who are bored, and this has always been my great regret.

I love the celebration of every solar term and don't want to miss it, even if it's a big mess in the world.

Moreover, the autumn equinox is one of the most important of the 24 solar terms.

In ancient times, the autumn equinox was also known as the moon festival, and there was a custom of worshipping the moon. However, this custom has slowly changed, because the time of the autumn equinox is almost fixed every year, and the day of the full moon is not fixed. Therefore, later, people changed the simple moon festival from the autumn equinox to the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, which is called the Mid-Autumn Festival.

However, this also means that around the autumn equinox, the moon is still bright and picturesque.

Therefore, on this autumnal equinox, we are going to organize a banquet and once again invite those non-human friends to enjoy the moon and have fun together.

I'm looking forward to this event, and I'm sorry that I've been so sick for a while that I haven't been able to contribute to the bar. So this time, I volunteered to prepare food for the moon festival dinner at the bar.

In this regard, I am indeed much stronger than them, so my proposal was unanimously welcomed by all. However, this time, there were more people who were going to be called to the party, and there was a lot of food that needed to be prepared, so I couldn't be busy alone, so I finally decided that Liqiu and I would prepare the food together.

Liqiu is not good at cooking, but he is good at analysis, so he is much more reliable than others, and it is precisely because of him that everything can appear to be organized and smoothly integrate into the human world.

"What are you going to do today?"

I felt a little worried. It's not that the ingredients are hard to prepare, but with them, it's not difficult to get any ingredients. I'm worried that the autumn equinox is too similar to the spring equinox, and even the things that are used to eating are very similar.

Liqiu lifted his black-rimmed glasses and replied seriously:

"In my opinion, what you eat is not that important. It's all well and good to follow custom, but as long as you understand the meaning of the day and spend it with gratitude, ritual things take a back seat. ”

I nodded convincingly.

Sometimes, people are like this, starting from one place, desperately moving forward, constantly accepting new ideas along the way, discarding everything in the past, but often after a few changes, they find that they finally return to the original point.

Just like now, from stepping into the boring fast, participating in the drinking feast of the beginning of spring with them, and spending every solar term with them, I was pleasantly surprised to find that life can still be lived like this. But now that I have experienced a lot, I feel that I don't need too much ritual to strengthen my understanding of life, because the weight of life in my heart is not the same as before.

went around in a circle, and returned to the original point, but had a different state of mind. Be more conscious, know what you want, and become a determined person.

Maybe that's what growth itself looks like.

"In that case, let's either cook Western food!" I proposed, "I haven't done it all this time, so can I add a little freshness?" ”

"It's a good proposition, and I think the guests will be happy too." Liqiu seemed to ponder for a moment, "We also lived in the West for a long time, but in the end, we were the most comfortable here, so we decided to stay here. ”

"Everybody...... Have you ever lived in the West? ”

I didn't expect it for a while, and I was very surprised. But when I think about it, I think it's normal, after all, they have all lived for tens of thousands of years, and they will definitely get tired of being in the same place all the time. Even we human beings, with such a short lifespan, still yearn for a trip that can be said to go?
