Chapter 87: Stories and Wine
As the tortoise said, after bringing the tortoise shell, Niuyang Mountain seems to have become another mountain.
The silence I felt before disappeared, and countless sounds collectively filled the body, as if countless worlds were unfolding in front of you, just a Niuyang Mountain, I could hear the echoes from different spaces, just by relying on my ears, I could hear the rustling of the seasons and time, and no one told me where these sounds came from, but I don't know why, I can be extremely sure of the source of each sound.
The soft moss is moving slowly, the seemingly shining stars are fighting over who is more beautiful, there is the sound of white crane feathers rubbing against the air in the space adjacent to me, those transparent bubbles have already sung songs and walked to a winter space, I closed my eyes, discerned the direction through the sound, switched the scene in front of me through the sound, stood in place, and kept shuttling through the chaotic space of Niuyang Mountain.
But there is a sound that is clearly interspersed with no matter which space I turn my attention to, and this voice is sometimes far and near, like someone singing.
"It's you, Lushu. I whispered, "I'll find you with a tortoiseshell, because of your singing, right?"
As soon as the words fell, the intertwined sounds disappeared, and only the sound of the wind caressing his hair was left in his ears.
"Hello, ghostwriter, Lu Shu has been waiting for a long time. ”
When I opened my eyes, the deer Shu on Niuyang Mountain, the monster grazing life, was not far from me.
It has a white head, a red tail, and tiger markings all over its body, like a horse, but not like an ordinary horse.
I stood with it on a horizontally protruding mountain rock, the night stars just illuminated this rock, behind Lu Shu was the end of the mountain rock, looking down was pitch black, I don't know what is under the mountain.
"You know I'm coming?" I asked.
"Well, I've always known that. ”
"Do you also know about the town under the mountain of Niuyang?"
"Hmm. ”
"I also know about my encounter with the Tortoise. ”
"That's right, I know everything that happened before you came, and I have the answers you want. Lu Shu said, "Since you're here, let's have some drinks." With that, it came towards me, and by the time it came to me, it had become a human being.
And, it's a girl. White clothes and red shoes, duck egg face, short ear-length hair.
"I only like two kinds of people," the girl-like Lu Shu sat on the ground and beckoned me to sit down too, "the scheming person, and the storyteller, you are the second kind." ”
"I'm a letter writer. I said, "But there are a few stories to tell." ”
"Tell me about it," Lu Shu said, "you tell a story, and I'll answer you a question." "It doesn't know where to conjure a jug of wine," and in my case, if you answer a question, the person who asks it has to drink a glass of wine. ”
"Wouldn't I be both storyteller and drinker?" I said.
"Well, that's it, otherwise you won't be able to leave Newyang Mountain. It never smiled, and its eyes were calm and could not see the waves, "You've already asked a question, let's drink first, and then tell a story." ”
It wasn't supposed to be a joke, and I didn't dare to talk nonsense, "That's... Let's start with a story about aquatic plants. ”
Lu Shu handed me the wine glass, "Drink the wine first." ”
I was a little embarrassed, "I'm a bad drinker..."
"It's okay, I'll drink with you," it poured itself a full drink, and drank it all without saying a word, "although I'm also prone to getting drunk." ”
I knew that it was a monster in front of me, but this girlish appearance made me embarrassed not to drink it, so I poured the wine down my throat.
Strange? It was wine, but it didn't smell like wine, but it was a little sweet, and I was relieved that I wouldn't be too drunk today.
"There is a monster named Fuyu, which usually grows in the rice fields and looks like aquatic plants," I shook the cup and recalled a little bit, "The Fuyu has a hobby, like humans with beautiful eyes, it hides in the water every day and waits, every rice planting season will have a lot of people into the rice field, as long as the beautiful eyes of the Fuyu will quietly lie on this person, disguised as human hair, and connect their nerves with the human optic nerve." ”
Lu Shu listened attentively.
"Humans don't notice it, but this monster is not just lying on a person, its eyesight is very poor, its ability to move is also weak, and it is curious about everything, so it sees the world through human eyes, and at the same time feels the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of this person. I said, "After a long time, I still won't be satisfied, because people have to sleep every day, and when they fall asleep, they can't see anything." ”
"It's a greedy little guy. ”
"That's right, so it will do everything it can to keep this man from sleeping, and every night it will play a prank, sticking hair in his nostrils, screaming in his ear, scratching his feet, and even opening his eyelids. ”
"Then the man died of depression. ”
"Ordinary people can't see monsters, so naturally they can't figure out what's going on with themselves, and they can't see why they go to the doctor. I said, "However, chronic sleep deprivation is very troublesome for human beings, and the person will suffer from insomnia, nervous breakdown, distraught, malaise, and the world in his eyes will become less and less interesting." ”
"It's hard to rely on others for a long time. ”
"That's it, at this time, the Fu will start to look for the next target again, once it leaves, the original parasitic person can quickly return to sleep, this little monster will change hosts one after another, and after a long time, it will also become a knowledgeable and experienced monster, until it meets a person. ”
Lu Shu poured two more glasses full of wine, and there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"The last target person was a photographer," I gestured with my hand to pose for the photo, "There are too many beautiful scenery in the photographer's eyes that are not easy for ordinary people to perceive, and Fu Yu has never met such a satisfied person, but what it didn't expect was that this photographer found me." ”
"You can see youkai. ”
"The photographer explained to me what he meant, he had been suffering from lack of sleep for a long time, coupled with excessive use of his eyes, the doctor said that his vision was seriously impaired, but he could not find a good treatment plan, I don't know where he heard my name, so he came to me to ask if there was something invisible to humans causing trouble. ”
Lu Shu looked at me silently.
As soon as the photographer entered the door, I saw the green cocos in his hair, and after explaining the habits of this monster to the photographer, I asked him if he needed me to take this little monster off his body and send it back to where this guy should be, and the photographer was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed. ”
"What did he say?" asked Lu Shu.
"Shouldn't you have a drink?" I laughed, "just drink when you ask, you and I should follow." ”
Lu Shu had an expression of being tricked by me, but he still drank the wine he should drink happily.
He said that he was just an ordinary photographer, but suddenly one day, he felt that the world had become more colorful after he woke up, and since then he has been going all the way, winning awards, becoming famous, holding exhibitions, and he feels that all his success is given to him by this little guy. ”
"This photographer didn't ask you to exorcise the cocoon?"
I nodded, looked at Lu Shu with a smile, and after it reacted, it shook its head helplessly, and drank another glass of wine by itself.
"You're always panting for a storyteller. It said.
"Otherwise, I'd soon drink too much," I said, "I didn't expect that this photographer not only didn't blame it for affecting his body, but thanked him very much, and was even willing to continue to take it in, and then the two of them have been with each other, and the photographer no longer has insomnia, and Fu Yu has also seen a more beautiful world as he wished, and that person is now a very famous photographer, but it is rumored that he will always talk to the unseen, and it will take a long time to talk about it." ”
"It's so good," Lu Shu sighed, "I have a confidant with you, and I won't feel lonely even if I can't see it." ”
"It's your turn to answer me," I consciously drank a glass of wine, "What's going on with Niuyang Mountain, which can transfer space through sound?"
"If the cycle of life is compared to a long journey," Lu Shu said, "the resting place in the journey is Niuyang Mountain." ”
