The black clouds in the sky gathered together, and the roaring sound was endless.

Han Qiu carried a stack of dead wood and firewood tied to a bundle of dead grass stalks.

As soon as he picked up the dead wood branches and was about to leave, several black-purple rays of light shot from his side, and when he turned his head, he saw that the grass and trees around him were rapidly withering and decaying. But you can't see anything.

At that moment, the autumn equinox knew that tonight, after he stepped out of Guobei County, he encountered ghosts and gods alone for the first time.

The last time I saw such a weirdness was ten years ago......

Han was only five years old that year.

Five-year-old Han Qiufen was sensible very early, he knew that he was abandoned, and the person who took care of him growing up was Mr. Wei, Han Qiufen respected and loved his adoptive father, but he also expected that his parents would come to the abandoned land temple to find him.

During the day, he went to the surrounding people to help, and they left him to eat, and when he went home at night, Mr. Wei cooked for him. Occasionally, a person goes back to the Land Temple for one night.

Until that night, a man in white came to this temple and became the first person from outside Guobei County that Xiao Qiu Equinox knew.

Mr. Wei was afraid that the autumn equinox would be hurt, so he went to the dilapidated land temple to meet him in the middle of the night.

That night, the night breeze was gentle, and the stars and moon were shining.

Mr. Wei held a lantern in one hand and carried it behind him with the other, watching the man in white approach him step by step, and said a word to himself with a smile.

"People who like me,

People who don't like me

They all call me,

Dazai.

Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Mr. Wei looked at him and smiled but didn't feel the warmth, because there was no emotion in his eyes, some were just dead silence, like cold ice that would not melt.

Since then, Mr. Wei has never gone to see his big friend at the Land Temple on the autumn equinox.

Because what this person is going to do, there is no one in the people he knows who can stop it, so it is better to go with the flow.

In the days that followed, Dazai appeared in Han Qiu's childhood life.

He meditates or does strange movements for several hours every day, during which the autumnal equinox can only be boredom rocking around, doing nothing.

Until he was too bored, Han Qiufen began to learn from him, imitate his movements, and spend several silent hours with him.

Dazai lived in this abandoned land temple in Guobei County for about a year, and he slowly fell in love with this child with a rough background.

Play with him, take him to eat chicken legs, eat mutton pot.

Bullied him, took off the pants of the autumnal equinox in front of the girl and everyone, and deliberately knocked him down when he was meditating on the autumnal equinox. Then join the rest of the crowd laughing at the autumnal equinox and laugh along with them.

This year was significant for the autumnal equinox, because it was that year that he learned that there were things in this world that were invisible to mortals.

It was an autumn day, and beneath the mottled walls outside the Temple of the Land was a ring of cracked masonry and bare earth.

The terrain of the Land Temple is high, with several layers of broken stone steps connecting the Land Temple to the dirt land below.

Daylight shone on Dazai's face, and he lazily squinted his eyes, his hands propped behind his back, enjoying the autumn light on his back.

Little Autumn Equinox sat beside him with his little head propped up, looking at the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.

Dazai glanced at the child beside him, a smile on his lips, and shook his head, the hair behind him was as black as ink, loosely tied with a leaf of dead grass, and swayed from side to side at this time.

Autumn is followed by winter, and the autumn equinox is watching a group of ants on the ground carrying food towards the nest.

He watched intently, until a pair of large, warm hands appeared on his head.

"Huh?"

"Autumn equinox, let me ask you, do you know what an immortal is?"

Han Qiufen shook his head, he only knew that the statue in the temple was the Lord of the Land, which seemed to be the god in the mouths of the people of Guobei County.

"People, with the power of the mountains, they are immortals. ”

Han Qiufen thought about this sentence for a while, and nodded as if he didn't understand.

Dazai couldn't help but rub his head vigorously as he watched the child's reaction.

"I don't know how to ask, I've told you a long time ago. ”

The autumnal equinox is not annoyed, just smiles.

"Also, if you don't bother to ask, then go through all the questions and let the answers reveal themselves, I also said this, right?"

"Hmm. ”

At some point, a cloud floated over the heads of the two people sitting on the steps outside the temple, creating a shadow for them and blocking out the sunlight.

"Now! The autumnal equinox asks you one more question. ”

With his five fingers pressed against his face and his white palms facing the sky, as if blocking the sun, Dazai asked with a smile as if he was shielding his face from the sun.

"If one day, you,

Do you want to be an immortal?

Or people?"

Autumn Equinox was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth slightly, and was about to reply.

The white palm suddenly clenched violently at that moment, and then let go again, and Dazai shook his shoulders and put his hand behind him again, propping himself on the ground.

At the same time, the sky dispersed, and the bright sunlight returned to the two of them again.

"Don't rush yet,

At that point,

You're looking,

How to choose. ”
