Ju Mang said a few more words, and his figure disappeared.

Fuso and Wakaki, who were not far away, were stunned for a few seconds, then threw down the things in their hands and ran over, staring blankly at the empty tea case, no need for me to say more, they also understood what was happening.

"Jumang-sama, I've already gone to the youkai," Wakaki whispered.

I nodded.

"It's like this every time," Fuso crouched down, and the tall man cried like a child, "every time he left us, every time he only cared about the humans and youkai who didn't care about his good or bad, and every time he deliberately arranged us to a distant place, is it so difficult to see him." ”

Wakaki was on the side, silent.

"He knew many years ago that he would disappear one day. I squatted down and looked at Fuso with a handful of snot and tears, "That's why I hope you will be strong." ”

But what is the use of him wasting his energy? People pray to him, but what does it have to do with Jumang-sama whether or not the wish will be fulfilled? Everyone only regards him as a spiritual sustenance, and misfortunes that should happen will always happen, and wishes that will not be fulfilled will never be fulfilled. Fuso said.

"That's God. I tried my best to say to Fusang in a gentle tone, "God is not omnipotent, everyone should understand this, but the reason why everyone still relies on God is because God has a heart that all-encompassing." ”

Fuso did not speak.

He can accept all the good, all the ugly, all the joy, all the pain, there are thousands of lives in the world, and the person who can carry such a huge emotion is the existence that people call God. I don't know what God means to others, at least to me, God is.

"But he did so much that humanity abandoned him. Fuso's mood seems to have stabilized, "We are his family, but he never thinks about our feelings." ”

"You and Wakaki are of course his closest family, but God does not exist for a certain individual, he is the god of all life, and it is because of this that he will stay away from you again and again, and he hopes that you can live well even without him. I said, "Moreover, human beings may be forgetful occasionally, but they will not forget completely, they just ignore some things on the way forward, and perhaps in your eyes, human beings are arrogant and arrogant, but one day, they will remember, and they will regain their reverence for nature, and at that time, you will see the words of awakening again." ”

"Really... ? "Fuso didn't believe me very much, but I saw the surprise in the eyes of Wakaki, who was speechless, and couldn't hide it.

"Well, don't you see that now, the human race has resumed the spring festival again? I recall the daytime spring festival, "Many children join the spring festival, and these children will inherit the reverence for nature from their parents. ”

"He actually wants us to be okay. Wakaki finally spoke, "I saw the two of us looking for you, but I didn't move. ”

He did say it, I hope you two don't quarrel because of him anymore, Fusang Ruomu is one, life is connected, emotions are connected, once you are separated, it will be difficult for both of you to survive for a long time. I said, "'You have to be like an adult, don't follow in my footsteps anymore, don't be emotional, don't secretly miss, don't look back, be obedient, go and live another life, even if you become an ordinary tree, you have to live well.'" That's what he wants to tell you. “

The green grass around me trembled slightly, and the warm breeze was blowing, which was really the breath of spring.

"An ordinary tree," Wakaki shook his head, a smile on his face, "Jumang-sama said it so easily, if we really sleep as an ordinary tree, when he wakes up, there will be no one to make him tea." ”

Fuso didn't seem to understand what his brother was trying to say.

"Please keep this. Wakaki handed me the hibiscus and Wakaki branches on the tea table, "My brother and I still need your help until Jumang-sama is fully awake, and I ask you to bring us here every year on the day of the beginning of spring, where a part of our souls will sleep in these flowers and branches, and we can come to you through the flowers and branches as long as you call." ”

"It's not the day of the beginning of spring, what are you two going to do?"

"Do what we both have to do," said Wakaki, "and there is still a lot to do when Juman-sama is asleep, where is there time to become an ordinary tree." He bowed his head slightly, "Lord Yeke, thank you for everything you have done, you are and will do in the future, and I look forward to meeting you next time." ”

I didn't ask any more, but I felt that the scene in front of me was getting more and more blurred, and the voices of Guan Qing and Tsubaki sounded in my ears. When I opened my eyes, it was already dawn, and the people who were still freezing on the top of the mountain were shivering, whether it was the spring god, the rabbit priest, or the youkai, it was as if they had never appeared.

"You can really sleep. Guan Qing said, "I slept directly through the whole process of the Spring God Festival." ”

I didn't understand what Guan Qing meant.

"Let's come together next year," Tsubaki's face was full of excitement, "Harujin is so generous, there is so much food and wine, and you can meet a lot of big monsters and hear a lot of interesting things." ”

"Food and wine?" I didn't understand anymore.

"You fell to the ground at the beginning of the festival," Guan Qing said, "The rabbit priest said that you just fell asleep, who knew you would sleep for so long, it's a shame that you didn't make it to the Spring God Festival." ”

"Have you seen the god of Simu?" I asked.

Guan Qing and Tsubaki both shook their heads.

"The god of Simu only received a few youkai, but we heard his voice, and it was really warm as spring. Tsubaki said, "Then again, you've been sleeping until now, haven't we come for nothing?"

"Look at the way he looks..."Guan Qing said, "You've seen Lord Jumang, haven't you?"

"It's not just that I've seen it," I smiled, "I guess it'll be common in the future." ”

"Ah, why are you the only one who can see it!" Tsubaki shouted dissatisfiedly, "People are obviously here for the god of Simu..."

said that I would drink tea, and I guess I would have to wait until the next meeting.

......

Half a month later, the weather began to show signs of warmth, and on the day I returned from Jumangdian, I slept soundly and peacefully.

"Ye Ke, it's time for your flowers to change the water. The old man exclaimed, "You are a peculiar aesthetic to put a flower and a branch in a vase." "He turned on the radio as usual and stared at me cleaning.

"Recently, an ancient tree suddenly appeared on the mountain near City A, and the ancient tree in City S, the ancient tree in City A only blooms at night, the flowers are as white as snow, and the buds are pressed all over the branches, and the citizens have gone to worship, thinking that this ancient tree will bring good luck to themselves..."

"That's what kind of Wakaki you're talking about?" the old man pouted, "why are these two trees so high-profile, at first glance, they are the things that only young people do." ”

I smiled and didn't speak.,Not long ago, a mountain in S City suddenly bloomed all over the mountain overnight.,The hibiscus tree on the top of the mountain is tall and dense.,The fiery red hibiscus flowers continue to bloom as if they want to prove something.,It is estimated that Fuso wants to help Jumang watch the world when Ju Mang is sleeping.,And Ruomu,I hope to awaken people's instinctive awe of nature through myself.。

"How about the Spring Festival?" Fu Bai's message was displayed on his phone.

I typed countless words densely, wanting to describe this trip in detail, but in the end, I deleted it line by line, and finally only replied with four words, which should represent everything I wanted to say.

"Dead wood in spring. ”
