Chapter 53 Big Tree
Chapter 53 Big Tree
White birds are fluttering, green water is surging, new buds are blooming, and flowers are sending fragrance.That smile is like a spring flower blooming, gently shining into people's hearts.
Chu Zhou felt his heart skip a beat, and his eyes were a little erratic.
How can someone smile so softly?
He paused, then slowly walked over, facing Yimulian, and said with some guilt: "I'm late."
Yimulian led him inside, shook his head slightly, and said softly, "It's okay."
Chu Zhou saw that he paused, and looked back, his eyes stopped at the door.Only the place where the opponent had just stood was empty, and a little further outside was covered with fallen leaves.
He turned his head to look at Yimulian, his voice became softer, and said, "Did you wait for a long time?"
The lines of Yimulian's profile softened, his eyes were full of gentleness, and he denied it in a gentle voice: "No."
"Really." Chu Zhou smiled, thought for a while, and stretched out his hand to hold the other's hand, feeling a little cold.With a little effort, he followed the other person into the shrine and said, "It's fine if you don't have one."
The two sat down side by side, very close to each other.
Yimulian asked worriedly, "What happened these two days?"
"Well," Chu Zhou nodded, and said, "Some villagers saw kappa two days ago, and the villagers all went to the river, and many kappa appeared later."
"Then, don't they believe it's a monster?"
Yimulian remembered what Chu Zhou said last time to find a way to let the villagers know the true face of the river god, but judging from the other party's current expression, it must have been unsuccessful.
Chu Zhou let out a long sigh, with a troubled face on his face, and said, "Obviously they all know that the river is a Kappa, and they know that it is a monster, but they must say that it is a river god..."
"Is that so..." Yimulian lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Don't you want to believe it?"
Chu Zhou was still a little puzzled, and said: "That's a monster, and it has captured so many human women. If they don't believe it, what good is there?"
From the perspective of the villagers, they will continue to worship the "river god".They just believe that a group of kappa bless them, and will they continue to bless them?
Yimulian already figured it out, he whispered: "Maybe, it's because they don't want to admit they were wrong."
Human beings have sacrificed for so long, and so many women have been sent into the river, if it is admitted that the river is just monsters, the gods they have worshiped for many years are just a group of monsters, then it means that they have been doing wrong ?
They can only deceive themselves and others, unwilling to admit their stupidity, and if there is no river god in the river, then how can they live with peace of mind after using so many women as sacrifices?
Chu Zhou was reminded by him, and gradually thought of this.
It's just human inferiority.In other words, they don't care about the truth and are unwilling to change.
It's just that other people can fool themselves, but what about the parents of the sacrificial woman?They were obviously very sad.
Hearing Chu Zhou's question, Yimulian smiled slightly, but there was helplessness in his eyes.He has been a god for so long, and has seen so many human beings. In the past few hundred years, human beings have never changed.
He said softly: "Of course they won't admit it, after all, they sacrificed their daughter with their own hands."
They did such a thing, of course, they could only offer sacrifices to the river god, and they could only make sacrifices for the sake of the whole village.If it is dedicated to monsters, then what is their cruelty?
The sun was shining, but Chu Zhou felt cold.
He couldn't understand the thoughts of these villagers at all.Generally, shouldn't it be to hate monsters, stop losses in time, and turn to be grateful to the gods who really protect them?Why do these people choose to do this?
He closed his eyes and let out a breath.
Forget it, if you don’t understand it, you don’t understand it, just think about it again.
He turned to look at Yimulian and asked, "Where do you sleep at night?"
Yimulian was a little dazed by the sudden change of topic, and didn't answer for a long time.
Chu Zhou squinted his eyes, stared at the other party, and said slowly: "Don't you usually sleep?"
"Sleep," Yimulian shook his head, then suddenly realized that he hadn't slept in the past two days, nodded again, and said, "Well, no need."
Chu Zhou let out a long "Mmm—" and didn't know whether he believed it or not. After pondering for a while, he said, "Then let's sleep together tonight."
Yimulian's face turned red quickly, his golden pupils became brighter, and his gentle voice sounded a little nervous: "One, together?"
"Yes," Chu Zhou chuckled, and turned his head to look at him, "I don't need to go back."
Then, the other party will always be with him?
Yimulian's eyes lit up, and the corners of his already soft mouth couldn't help but curl up, his tone was a little brisk, and his gentleness could drown people.
"Okay, let's sleep together."
When Chu Zhou saw this, his heart moved slightly.
The two were already very close to each other. Sitting close together like this, Chu Zhou could feel a bit of coolness coming from each other.
——The weather is so hot, the other party must be very cool.
His thoughts suddenly turned a corner. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but move a little to his side.
He turned his head and looked over.
Chu Zhou was looking ahead with an extremely serious face, probably thinking about something important.
He secretly looked at the other side's face.
If the other party smiled at him, it would be full of tenderness, as if looking at the most important person.But now with such a serious face, the brows and eyes on that side look a little cold, as if stained with frost.
He looked at it, and then involuntarily moved closer, with his hands behind the opponent's back, so close that he could touch the opponent's cheek with a single movement.
There was a little sweat in his palms, and his heart was beating a little chaotically.
Chu Zhou was stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he felt that there was something around him.
He turned his lower body slightly, and turned his gaze.
Yimulian didn't know when he was so close to him, the wind blew the other's long hair, and it seemed that strands of hair floated to his face.
The other party's light golden eyes were full of tenderness, and he didn't know if it was too hot, and his face was a little red.Some thin lips are tightly pressed, red, and they should look soft.
It should be soft to bite on...
At the same moment, Yimulian, who was staring at Chu Zhou, thought so in his heart.
His gaze was fixed on the other's lips, inexplicably attracted, and he couldn't move away at all.
He quickly glanced at Chu Zhou, and saw that the other party seemed to be in a daze, so he slowly moved towards him.
When you get close, you seem to feel the tenderness of the other party.
"Flickering—"
There was a sudden noise around him, and Yimulian sat up straight suddenly, his face flushed instantly, his heart was beating "poundingly", he took a deep breath, and turned to look at the source of the sound.
Just a flock of startled birds.
Not only should he be grateful, but he should also be disappointed. After being silent for a while, he stood up and said, "I'll go find something to eat." Then he hurried out of the shrine.
Chu Zhou sat where he was, and couldn't help but smile when he saw the other party walking away in a hurry.
Yimulian has always been gentle and steady, but now he looks so young and shy, which is really cute.
Well, I'm looking forward to the night.
Yimulian came back not long after he went out, and brought back some fruits.It was exactly the one that Chu Zhou gave him at the beginning.
Seeing that Yimulian had returned to a gentle look, Chu Zhou stopped teasing him and just picked up the fruit and ate it.
Although the fruit is very sweet, after Chu Zhou ate a few, he couldn't eat any more.Moreover, he has been eating at the village chief's house, and now he still wants to eat meat, and fruit is not enough.
He opened his mouth, saw Yimulian ate the leftover fruit, paused, but still didn't say anything.
I always feel that the other party is so beautiful and immortal, and it has nothing to do with lighting a fire and cooking.
Yimu took two bites of the fruit, noticed that Chu Zhou was looking at him all the time, turned his head, and asked with some doubts, "What's wrong?"
"No." Chu Zhou shook his head, looked away, and walked to the corner.
There is a pile of thin branches, which are arranged in a mess, and there are a few villains who have not made it up.This is the work he practiced when he asked Yimulian to teach him before, but he didn't expect the other party to throw it away.
He had nothing to do, so he took out a few branches and weaved them up with great interest.
It's just possible that he really has no talent at all, and he forgot what to do after making up less than half of it, racking his brains and thinking hard.
Chu Zhou thought about it for a long time but couldn't recall it, so he had to take out the villains that he had given away at a glance, and was going to study it before trying to continue editing.
Before he could take it out, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out beside him, holding his hand and guiding the movement.
Chu Zhou felt a little awkward, this position was a little uncomfortable, and it was inconvenient to knit with his hands. He called out "Lian" softly, and wanted to pull his hands out.
"En," but Yimulian just replied in a low voice, but held his hand tightly and didn't let go.
After the villain finished weaving, Yimulian left his side and looked at him tenderly.
Chu Zhou's uneasy mood was defeated by the other party's eyes, and he only gave the other party a casual look, then put the villain away, "Okay, let's rest."
Yimu Lian smiled, with clear eyebrows and a gentle tone, "Okay."
Actually, it's still early.
It's just that what Chu Zhou said subconsciously just now, in fact, there is still some time before he goes to sleep.
When they walked into the shrine, Chu Zhou looked at the empty room, groaned, then turned his head and asked, "How do we sleep?"
Why did he forget to bring something to spread on the ground when he came?There is no such thing as a bed here, so I should only be able to sleep on the ground...
Yimulian frowned and said, "There is a big tree behind the shrine."
"Ah?" Chu Zhou was a little puzzled. Although he never went behind the shrine every time he came to the shrine, what did sleeping have to do with the big tree?
Yimulian just smiled and didn't explain.He gently took Chu Zhou's hand and led him towards the back of the shrine.
Chu Zhou followed him curiously, looking forward to it.
"Here we are." Yimulian stopped and said softly.
Chu Zhou also stopped and looked up.
It was a huge tree with a thick body, and it might take several people to surround it.I don't know how tall the trees are, but looking up like this, I always feel that I can touch the clouds.The branches and leaves are luxuriant, swinging with the wind, making "squeaky" sounds, as if welcoming them.
Chu Zhou was a little puzzled. Such a tall tree should not be invisible from a distance.
"There is an enchantment here," Yimulian explained softly, "I set up an enchantment hundreds of years ago, and others will never see it."
He looked at Chu Zhou, smiled slightly and said, "I usually rest here."
