Delicious Delicacy of the Demon Spirit

In the past few days, Li Ku'er has been having a strange dream.There was an old man in the dream, the old man had a snow-white beard and beard, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, a white aura shrouded his body, and there seemed to be a fairy spirit surging in his sleeves.She has never seen it before, but Li Kuer feels it is very familiar, as if it came from some distant...so far away that she has forgotten.

Every night, they shuttled through the streets and alleys, never speaking, the old man did not speak, and Li Kuer could not speak.

Starting in front of their own house, step by step, they walked slowly to every corner of Qingshui Town, witnessing the last struggle of the town with their eyes.Then, they went back home.The house was empty, and Li Kuer stood blankly in the yard, alone, as if she had already gotten used to this kind of loneliness, and always felt that this place should not be like this, there should be some people, some things, and more emotional ties it's here.She couldn't remember, as if she was recalling the old people in another dream, she only knew their existence, but it was hard to be real.

Li Kuer woke up and clearly remembered everything in the dream.It was always night there, a night of death.There are people dying of disease, and people whose hearts are dead even though they are alive.Day after day, more and more people fell down, and Qingshui Town became less and less human.

Fang Hancai died of illness, in Xiaoqu's crying, in Li Kuer's first dream.After some time, Xiao Qu also fell ill, under the scolding and sighing of Xiao Qu's parents.It was another night, and Li Kuer came to the corner of the street again, looking around, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the gates and walls.She witnessed Xiao Qu dying on the bed with a smile on her face, as if she was eager to follow her lost love.She cherished it in her heart, inexplicably, she would think of a vague shadow, and there was a spontaneous involvement in her heart.

In the dream, she is still confused, who am I worried about?When she woke up from the dream, she was annoyed again: "How could I forget Sister He?"

Another night, Li Ku'er went out with the old man, only took one step, and saw Aunt Liu next door doing the funeral, without crying or crying.She told Uncle Liu to go away, don't worry about it anymore.When you get down there, you must find your son, and don't let him go on the road alone.

For some reason, the tip of Li Ku'er's nose became sour, and her heart, which had been tired from seeing too much life and death parting, couldn't help trembling again.From now on, how will Aunt Liu live alone?

She sighed that after the disaster, those who really suffer will be those who survived alone.

The old man continued to walk forward, but Li Kuer couldn't take a step forward, his feet were heavy, as if they had taken root.She looked at the strong back of Aunt Liu under the eaves, tears filled her eyes and blurred the world.

The old man turned around and said the first sentence in a long time: "Can't walk anymore?"

Li Kuer opened his mouth and tried to speak: "Hey." He was able to speak.She asked again: "Who are you? Why are you showing me this?"

"Oh, I am your master, but I have completely forgotten about it, and I don't even recognize me as a teacher." The old man smiled, but did not answer her second question.

Li Kuer looked at him suspiciously, and couldn't remember when he had such a master.He looked at the old man carefully, and he must have been very capable, so he simply tried to ask: "Then you...can you save the people in Qingshui Town?"

The old man shook his head: "The reincarnation of the heavens is like this, how can we save or not?"

Li Kuer frowned, unconsciously taking on a questioning tone: "What did they do wrong? They have to suffer like this."

The old man still looked benevolent: "You can be a teacher, why should you save them?"

Li Kuer was choked by these words, and after a long time, he found a blunt reason: "You have the ability to save them, but you don't do it, how can you bear it?"

The old man turned around and didn't look at her anymore, only said: "Whoever can't bear it, let him save it."

Now Li Kuer doesn't believe that this person is his master: "I think you must have been transformed by a monster. No, monsters have kind hearts, but you don't."

The old man turned his head, squinted his eyes and asked, "You can save them too, why don't you save them yourself?"

Li Kuer didn't understand why, so he just listened to the old man continue: "Sacrifice. Use your life to exchange the lives of the people in the town. Are you willing?"

Li Kuer clenched the hem of her skirt, pondered for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said firmly, "I'm all alone and have nothing to worry about. What can I be reluctant to do? If I can really save them, then take my life."

The old man raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were quite playful: "I took not your life, but Li Kuer's life. If I take my life, it will end Li Kuer's past, and also the life of Li Kuer." If you don't enter reincarnation, you will also lose your next life. Everything that Li Kuer has, cherished, and yearned for now will end his fate with you. So, are you still willing?"

Li Ku'er didn't quite understand what the old man was referring to, but just in a fit of anger, if he asked these questions in detail, he seemed to have no confidence, so he still stuck his neck and said: "I'm willing, as long as I can save Qingshui Town!"

The old man still didn't agree immediately, and said with a smile: "Go back and think about it, it won't be too late to give me the answer tomorrow. If you still make such a decision, you really have to entrust your life here." After speaking, there was a puff of green smoke Flying by, the old man disappeared.

Li Kuer rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already on the bed.She looked at He Weiran beside her, recalled the dream just now, couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and thought to herself: Fortunately, the old man didn't take it seriously, otherwise, maybe he really wouldn't be able to wake up.

She stretched out her hand, stroked He Weiran's cheek, and whispered: "If I die, you will be sad. If I die, you will be alone again. If I die, you will still Looking for another Li Kuer?"

He Weiran's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.She grabbed Li Kuer's soft hand on her cheek and asked her, "What nonsense are you talking about? Did you have a nightmare?"

Li Ku'er was inexplicably afraid to tell the truth, she said to He Weiran: "I dreamed that I was also sick and dying."

"How could it be? I won't let you get sick." He Weiran seemed to assure her.

Li Kuer pursed her lips and said, "But... one day I will grow old, die, or leave you."

He Weiran frowned, puzzled by Li Kuer's sudden sentimentality: "I said, I will look for your next life, the next life, and eternal life. I will let you remember me, you will always be Li Kuer , I will always be your He Weiran."

Li Ku'er lowered her lips and said sadly, "But what if... I don't have a next life?"

With a flick of his eyes, He Weiran suddenly sat up from the bed.She held Li Kuer's face and stared at it, wondering what she was thinking.After a long while, she said earnestly: "Then you promise me, Kuer, come to me, and I will wait for you forever."

Li Kuer felt that He Weiran seemed to know something, but she was not sure.As for He Weiran's request, she didn't have the confidence to agree to it.

"Sister He, I'm talking nonsense." She smiled far-fetchedly: "How can I not have a next life? When people die, they will go down, they will be reincarnated, and there will always be... reincarnation."

"No, you are different, I know." He Weiran shook his head, and said earnestly: "You want to promise me, promise me? If there is a day, come to me. I will open a small restaurant called Bafang Restaurant Every time you go to a place, look for the restaurant with the most delicious food in the local area, and I will wait for you there."

"Bafang Pavilion..." Li Kuer repeated in a murmur, wishing to engrave these three words into his soul together with He Weiran.She nodded, Quan Zuo agreed.However, do you really want to sacrifice yourself as Li Kuer, the past memories and future possibilities with He Weiran for Qingshui Town?She still can't make this decision.

In the morning, He Weiran and Li Kuer went out to relax together.Aunt Liu Shuliu was still busy with her son's illness. It was rumored that there were some medicinal herbs on the west mountain, which could be cured if they were dug up and made into a decoction. So I went up the mountain to find it.

Can it really be caught?Refined herbs.He Weiran shook his head: "Where is such an easy thing?"

The streets and alleys have stopped making a living, and naturally, there is nowhere to go shopping.They held hands and entered the dusty prince's mansion together.The flowers, plants and trees showed some signs of decadence due to no one taking care of them.

They sat in the Yingyue Pavilion all day, leaning on each other, talking a few words occasionally, and more, listening to each other's heartbeat and breathing.

If separation is the inevitable outcome, is there any meaning to the short-term lust?

Li Kuer recalled He Weiran's previous request, and asked himself, if he embarked on an unknown path, would he still be able to achieve what he promised at that moment?She vaguely knew that the old man in the dream might really be her master, and she had also inquired that the real boy came from the sky, and one day, sooner or later, he would return to the sky.

If separation is the inevitable outcome, the short-term lust will be a cage that binds He Weiyan's emotions.Li Kuer really can't imagine how much pain it would cause He Weiran to live alone in the world with hopeless expectations if she forgot everything and failed everything.If that's the case, it's better not to let this love take root, and it's better to... forget each other in the rivers and lakes early.

Li Ku'er was struggling in her own world, He Weiran hugged her silently, lowered her eyes, and actually gave birth to long-lost tears.

Before you know it, it's already night.I haven't eaten for a day, and I don't feel hungry.Li Kuer was sleepy and yawned.

He Weiran asked her to rest her head on her lap, and said softly, "Go to sleep, everything... will be according to your wishes."

Li Kuer couldn't resist the sleepiness, she fixed her gaze on He Weiran's face, and slowly closed her eyelids.The warm moisture dripping on her face was her last feeling.
