On the shore of Lanshui, the sun's rays shine brightly, shining on the clear and translucent water.

The two men reached the gap in the guardrail, and Tythia smiled at Tosas, then raised his hands and walked cautiously down the stone staircase. Underneath the stone staircase is a stone platform that is one meter wide and two meters long, and the blue water is just below it, and it is within reach.

Tythia came to the table, crouched down, and scooped a glass of water into the water with her cup, and the droplets tumbled down the walls of the cup like full, transparent pearls.

"Take a sip first. Tithia crouched down on the table and smiled back at Lotosas.

The long blue water lined with the smile of Tythia's sun, this smile deeply infected Lotosas, and he stood straight, a little overwhelmed.

"No, I'm not very thirsty, you can drink first. He tilted his head and looked at the end of Lan Shui and said.

Titia stood up, walked over with a long glass of water, straightened her arm, handed it to Lotosas, and said with a smile: "Look at the way you look, you know that you are thirsty." ”

Lothasas looked at the glass of water dangling in front of him, glanced at Tythia who was smiling at him, panicked, lifted the glass, and poured it into his throat, his mouth could not hold the water, and could only flow from the placket of his clothes, which made Tythia laugh secretly.

Lotosas wiped the placket of his shirt with his sleeve with a glass of water, and said with a thoughtful pause, "I'll go and scoop a cup for you!" He spoke quickly, ran down the stone stairs to the stone platform, scooped up a cup, and handed it to Tythia stiffly.

Tithia drank it down with a smile, walked slowly to the stone platform, sat down on it, looked at the long water in front of her, and said with a smile, "Do you know? ”

"What?" said Lotusas, standing by the break in the guardrail, whispered.

"Do you know that on the other side of this river is Cangshan, and what is behind Cangshan?" Tithia whispered.

"What is it?" asked Lotosas.

"It's another world. Titia looked back at Lotosas and said, "That's what Grandpa and Grandpa said. ”

"Really?" asked Lotosas, "what kind of world is that?"

"Maybe it's beautiful, maybe it's evil. Tithia looked at the long Lanshui and continued, "There are seven Lanshui and Cangshan in the Heavenly Kingdom, but this one Lanshui is not allowed anyone to cross, and the Cangshan here is even more unattainable. When I was very young, the older generation used to say, 'Behind the heavenly waters and mountains of Ceras lies an ancient evil world, which is very different from the world we live in, where it is as dark as hell and people live a bloodthirsty and carnivorous life. We were never allowed to set foot in that place, and until now it has been a forbidden place, and the ferry on the Arashi water is subject to legal sanctions. ”

"But," continued Thethias, "I have always thought it to be a place of great beauty, for there is such a legend in the kingdom of heaven. ”

"What legend?" asked Lotosas.

"About two hundred years ago, a princess of the Kingdom of Heaven, now the Virgin Mary Fafyu, fled from the Holy Creation Heavenly City in Beizhong due to foreign invasion and came to live and hide in Serias. During this period, she met a blue butterfly on the shore of this Lanshui, that is, where we are, that butterfly is not an ordinary butterfly, it has spirituality, and legend has it that it can make all the withered petals bloom again with just a flap of its wings, so that the fragrance of flowers overflows the entire waterfront, and the princess met the butterfly because of this, and the two of them became good friends. ”

"And then?" asked Lotusas.

Then, early one morning, the butterfly suddenly spoke. "It talks about the end of its life, and it wants to return to its homeland and see its long-lost love." The kind-hearted princess was curious, and asked, 'Where is your hometown?' But the butterfly's answer was that the princess could not reach at all—on the other side of the blue water, on the side of the mountains, and the butterfly called that place the green underworld, which was called the forbidden land by generations of heavenly people, and in the eyes of every heavenly person, there were terrible demons, bloodthirsty beasts, and every heavenly person had received such an education in the arms of his white-haired grandmother when he was a child, and the green underworld in the butterfly's mouth was defined by us heavenly people as a terrifying demon realm. ”

"That beautiful butterfly came from that horrible place? Lotosas commented.

"Yes, but legend has it that it came from that place, and eventually it returned there on its own. Tythia and Lotosus laughed, "I thought, how can a place where beautiful butterflies fly be such a terrifying place?"

"yes, it must be beautiful there, it's just misunderstood. "Where I haven't been, people are always commenting on what they don't hear. ”

"Jasra. At this time, Titias suddenly stood up and turned to Lotosus and said, "For you, even if I understand it with my heart, I can't get an answer, why do you have a cold expression when you speak? Why don't you smile and face life with sunshine? Even if your country has been invaded by the terrible demons, it is all in the past, why do you linger and torture yourself?"

"You must be hiding something from me, the first time I saw you, why did you say that you wanted to be free, that you wanted to kill an enemy, that you said that you were a devil who never cries?

"Do you remember?" said Lotusas, "but I have long forgotten that it was all nonsense. ”

"Then you are not talking nonsense!" said Tithia, "your eyes are so cold, why do you not show the slightest smile no matter what, this coldness can only be condensed in the deepest pain, why are you like this, please tell me, we are now a family, what can you say to me? Why should you use coldness to escape everything?

"Tythia, you are too kind. "I really don't have anything, I'm born like that, I'm used to it. ”

"Yes, you're used to it......" Titia said as she looked into his eyes, knowing that Lotosas was still hiding her, at least by name, but she didn't continue.

The sun was shining and the waterfront was silent, and she sat on the bench by the port with a smile, her eyes sparkling.

"Jesla, you ......," she paused for a moment and said quickly, "do you have someone you like?"

"Someone you like?" said Lothasas, staring at Tythia, "Tythia, if I tear that secret letter apart, I can embrace you in my arms and say to you ten thousand words, 'How I like you,' but with my conscience I can't die so rebellious, and destroy the light of the sky for the sake of my own pleasure, and even though I have many words, many, many things to say to you, but I can only be silent, my heart is naturally baptized, calm and full of life, and it is the invisible shackles that make me unable to express the truth of sincerity." ”

At this moment, the footsteps of the White soldiers were suddenly heard in the distance, and there were even loud shouts and curses, and the voices were getting closer and closer, and they were going to the fields.

"What happened? weren't they supposed to be on the long street?" asked Lotosas.

"I don't know. Tithia shook her head, "They're here today, I'm afraid it's not just for the Syrsa people to sign up. She felt an inexplicable danger approaching him, so she picked up her glass of water and hurried back down the stone path, with Lotosas following him.

The field path was filled with soldiers of the White Army of Heaven and scattered civilians of Sirsa, who carried shovels and pickaxes and poked at the fields crookedly.

"Don't come here to work again!" Grandpa was collecting weeds in the field, when the White soldiers on the path suddenly called out the two, and then shouted to the Syrsas, "See? This vast land is the place where you want to build." ”

The two old men finally understood what the soldiers meant, and it turned out that the palaces and temples they had been shouting about were to be built on their land.

"We live on this land, and how can we survive without it?" the two old men asked.

"This is the emperor's order, we just have to carry it out. The soldiers shouted, and then shouted to the crowd, "Tonight there will be a great deal of timber and gravel from Ciprolos, and it is your task to carry them here, and tomorrow the builder of Adona will come and show you how to do it." ”

At this moment, Titia returned with a glass of water, and she quickly made her way through the crowd to the two old men.

"Grandpa, what's going on?" she asked, looking around, and Lotosas followed.

"Nothing, let's go. Grandma smiled and said that she was afraid that there would be another incident because of this, so she turned around and left, followed by Tythia and Lotosas.

Back at home, the two old men were on the balcony on the second floor, as usual, watering the flowers and basking in the sun to pass the time, and the streets were full of people and hurried steps, and Titia did not know what was happening, and her heart was full of doubts.

"They have taken our land, how will we live in the future? At this time, the complaints of local Serias civilians were suddenly heard on the street.

"I'm sorry. Hearing the voice, Tithia hurried out of the house, and asked before the Celians who had just spoken in the street, "You said that the land was occupied, what is the matter?"

"Don't you know, little girl?" said the Celian man, "didn't the white army say a few days ago that they were going to build a palace here, and today they claim that the palace they are going to build is on our land, isn't it not that people will not live?"

"How so?" said Tythias, worried, and thanked the passer-by before running into the house.

"Titiah. Lotosas overheard their conversation and came up to him and said, "Don't worry, there will always be a solution, and I will go to them at once to sign up for some money." ”

"Thank you," said Tythia, her eyes full of gratitude, as she bowed her head, "I'm sorry that we don't have land, and we really don't know what we can rely on to survive." (To be continued.) )
