send flowers to god

four

It was a perfect morning, the sky was blue and the sun was soft.

Chu Heng stood outside the inn door, watching the mist gradually dissipate in the morning light.

Not far away, the elders of the Holy Cult were kneeling on their knees, praying devoutly in the direction of the holy mountain.

Great Moses, reveal my prayerful heart, touch me with your merciful hands, and make me strong and courageous in all things.

Great Moses, please accept my praise, you are my God, my direction, you will surely lead us to the world of eternal life.

This was an extremely solemn prayer, and Chu Heng inexplicably felt a power called faith.

"Having faith is also a happy thing, at least you won't lose your way." Someone walked up to Chu Heng.

"However, once fanatical beliefs are combined with fallacies, he will be stubborn to the end." Chu Heng said solemnly.

"I hope there is still a clear sky behind the dark clouds." Yan Wuhui sincerely hoped.

It was rare for the two of them to have such a serious discussion, and Chu Heng was a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Brother Chu, Brother Yan, good morning." Someone behind greeted the two happily.

Chu Heng and Yan Wuhui turned their heads at the same time - it was Zhou Yan.Then, Su Wan and Chen Jianming also came out.

Chen Jianming stretched his waist and said, "A new day is about to start again."

There is a wind blowing, with the fragrance of sunshine and the fragrance of green vegetation.Elder Liu finished his last prayer under the sunny mountains.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go. Today we need to arrive at our second site - Cass before dark." Elder Liu announced today's itinerary to several people.

"Let's go, let's go."

Under Chen Jianming's yelling, the six pilgrims started to set off slowly.

On the straight road, Elder Liu took the lead and walked at the front of the team.

Chen Jianming, who failed in business, followed Elder Liu closely.

Then came the only woman in the team—Su Wan, a taciturn woman.

Then Chu Heng and Yan Wuhui.

Finally, Zhou Yan.Zhou Yan's role as a team leader was not because of his ability, but because he always stopped to dig some dirt.

The six of them walked forward quietly, occasionally encountering a few local residents on the road.The residents here work when they wake up in the morning and rest at sunset, and spend their whole lives guarding the clear mountains and bright moon.Chu Heng suddenly envied the life here.

"Little brother."

Suddenly, someone interrupted Chu Heng's thoughts. The visitor had a flattering face, and he must have asked for something.

"Tell me." Chu Heng smiled slightly to signal the other party.

"Little brother, since you are leaving this world, just give me the rest of the money." Chen Jianming did not beat around the bush, and stated his request very straightforwardly.

"What do you want money for?" Chu Heng paused, looking at the other party in confusion.

Is it time to spend the city?

"I want to feel rich again." The other party replied.

……

"You know, Wuhui is terminally ill, and I have spent all my savings. Unfortunately, I can't fulfill your wish." Chu Heng said very apologetically.

"Oh, it's okay." Chen Jianming shrugged, pretending not to care.

"Maybe you can ask Elder Liu." Chu Heng suggested.

"I have already asked, Elder Liu has already dedicated all his money to Moses."

……

The sun gradually rose, and a few people stopped and went, and finally arrived at the Lake of Death at noon.

Xiangsheng Lake, the surface of the lake is emerald green, the breeze blows, and the blue waves are rippling.

At this moment, Yan Wuhui was sitting quietly beside the Lake of Rebirth, looking at the emerald green water in a trance.

"What are you looking at?" Chu Heng looked down, but there was nothing but their reflections.

"Look at a handsome boy." The other party replied.

……

Sure enough, a person's nature is deeply ingrained.

Chu Heng looked around: one is praying every day, one is thinking about money every day, one is meditating every day, and the other is digging mud every day. Now they will soon have another person who looks in the mirror every day.

Chu Heng looked at the sky speechlessly, and finally walked to Zhou Yan who was digging the mud. Just now, he thought of a story that he needed to share with others.

"Zhou Yan, have you heard the story of the daffodil?"

"No." Zhou Yan stopped digging in the mud, raised his head and looked at Chu Heng curiously.

"It is said that there was a handsome young man who went to the lake every day to appreciate his beauty. He was so infatuated with his appearance that he fell into the lake one day and drowned. Then, at the place where he fell into the water, a long A flower came out, and people called it a narcissus."

"And then?" Zhou Yan looked forward to it.

"And then I thought there would be a daffodil growing in the lake in front of us soon."

Zhou Yan followed the other party's gaze.

"Oh~~ I see. Are you worried that Big Brother Yan fell into the lake?" Zhou Yan realized instantly, "It's okay, I'll remind him for you." After speaking, Zhou Yan carried the mud-filled The glass bottle quickly rushed to the lake.

By the lake, Yan Wuhui lowered his eyes, looking at the lake intently.

What is in the lake?

Why does he always want to go and have a look.

Yan Wuhui stretched out his hand involuntarily.

"Brother Yan, Brother Chu asked me to remind you to be careful about falling into the lake." Suddenly, someone interrupted his movements.

fell into the lake?

Yan Wuhui shot back, and looked back at Chu Heng for some unknown reason.

As soon as their eyes met, Chu Heng turned his head away in embarrassment.

……

By the lake, the boy was carefully washing glass bottles.

As the black soil fell, Yan Wu looked back to see all the patterns on the bottle.The pattern on the bottle body is a tree of life growing on the bright galaxy.Although there are only a few strokes, Yan Wuhui is very sure that this is a tree of life.It seems that this was painted by someone who knows the city of time very well.

Yan Wuhui thought for a moment, and then his eyes returned to the lake.At this time, the surface of the lake in front of him became a little cloudy under the shaking of the young man.

"Zhou Yan, why do you keep changing the mud?" Yan Wuhui found that Zhou Yan was changing the mud every day.

"Because I found that I can meet beautiful flowers every day, but I only have this bottle." Zhou Yan said with some distress, pointing to the glass bottle the size of his palm.

"Then why don't you choose to put a little bit of each kind of mud into the bottle, so that you can have countless kinds of mud, and you can grow countless kinds of flowers in the future."

"Why didn't I think of that!" Zhou Yan suddenly realized.

"It's okay, there's still time." Yan Wuhui reassured.

"Clean up, everyone, we're going to the next location soon." In the distance, Elder Liu's sonorous and mellow voice sounded.The scattered people heard the sound and rushed to the assembly point one after another.

"From now on, each of us will pray three times a day to show our devotion to Moses." After Elder Liu finished speaking, he began to read the prayer, "Great Moses, please reveal my prayer heart, please use Thy gracious hands have touched me and made me strong in all things."

The afternoon sun was shining brightly on the bodies of the six praying people. Everyone knew in their hearts that they would have to go through a long and arduous walking journey to reach the Holy Land.

There are continuous mountains, and there is no end to the mountain road. This is the first time Chu Heng has felt the hardships brought by hiking.

Su Wan, the only woman in the front line, walked with some difficulty. Seeing this, Chu Heng took a step forward and walked to the side of the other party.

"Let me help you carry the bag." Chu Heng smiled friendly.

"Thank you." Su Wan hesitated for a moment before accepting the other party's kindness.

After getting along for a few days, Chu Heng found that the other party seemed to be a taciturn person, and each of the pilgrims had their own unique reasons, and he didn't know what the other party was.

"Well, may I take the liberty to ask, why do you want to go to the Gate of Eternal Life?" Chu Heng finally asked.

After about a minute, Chu Heng heard the other party's answer.

"I no longer have love for this world, just like this world has for me." Su Wan's calm tone was mixed with a trace of sadness, "You know, at my age, I always long for a perfect love."

It turned out that he was hurt by love, and it was not light.

"You are still young, you still have countless opportunities to fall in love, and you will always meet the right one." Chu Heng looked at the other party's sad eyes and said in relief.

"I can't meet you anymore, I don't have any love anymore." Su Wan's long sigh fell into the wind.

Chu Heng couldn't find words of comfort for a while, so he had to walk quietly beside the other party.

"By the way, how long have you two been together?" Su Wan suddenly changed the subject.

Chu Heng was stunned for a moment, and then began to pretend to count, "Four, seven, seven years."

"Then you must have deep feelings." Su Wan cast an envious look at Chu Heng.Zeng Jin also had a beautiful love, but she lost to time and quarrel in the end.

"Well, he would send me flowers every birthday." Chu Heng's eyes became softer as if falling into memories.

Su Wan looked back at Yan Wuhui, it was difficult for her to connect the person in front of her with the person who sent flowers to Chu Heng. "I didn't expect him to have an extremely warm heart under his indifferent appearance."

"He is such a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside." Chu Heng bowed his head a little guilty after speaking.

Yan Wu, who was walking behind the two, looked at Chu Heng and couldn't help laughing, the little liar was cheating again.

However, what Yan Wuhui probably didn't know was that some of Chu Heng's words were true.

The pilgrimage team is still moving forward slowly.

About an hour later, the sky suddenly changed color.Soon, an unprepared torrential rain made the pilgrimage road muddy and long.

"Damn it, what's the bad weather, why don't people make a pilgrimage!" Chen Jianming cursed and kicked the gravel on the side of the road.The gravel mixed with muddy water fell to Elder Liu.

Elder Liu turned his head and showed a cruel look: "This is Moses' test for us, you must accept it."

Chen Jianming immediately fell silent.

The rain was falling, and the misty water vapor gradually blurred the road ahead.

Chu Heng turned his head inadvertently and found that Su Wan's face was pale, so he asked with concern: "Are you okay, do you want to stop and have a rest?"

"It's okay, maybe it's cold." Su Wan shook her head and replied.

Looking at the other party who was a bit aggressive, Chu Heng sighed.

The cold wind and drizzle kept attacking them, gradually, Su Wan fell behind the crowd, and they had no choice but to slow down their pace to cooperate with each other.

In the wet weather and the darkening sky, Chen Jianming gave Su Wan a few complaining glances.In the end, several people still failed to reach the inn before dark.

"We need to camp here tonight." Elder Liu found an open space sheltered from the wind and announced helplessly.

Since among the six people on the pilgrimage, only Elder Liu, Chu Heng, and Yan Wuhui brought tents, they needed to allocate the tents.

In the end, Chu Heng gave up the tent to Su Wan, and Chen Jianming followed Elder Liu to live in the other's tent, while Chu Heng didn't return to the banquet, and Zhou Yan squeezed into the same tent.

Outside the tent, the sound of the rain gradually died down.

"Brother Chu, do you think it might be a monster in the lake, jealous of the boy's beauty, dragged him into the lake and drowned him." Zhou Yan asked a question that had troubled him all afternoon.

……

"Maybe."

The night has come, the surroundings have become quieter, and the screaming concert of the arboreal animals has gradually come to an end.

cough!cough! !cough! ! !Suddenly, in the silent air, someone coughed violently.

Chen Jianming got up impatiently and got out of the tent, then kicked Su Wan's tent hard a few times. "It's a big night! Let no one sleep!" Chen Jianming said cursingly, full of evil spirits, "If it wasn't for you alone, would we all suffer here!"

Inside the tent, Su Wan coughed worse.

"Cough again! Forget about coughing to death! It will save everyone a drag!!" Chen Jianming shook the tent vigorously in confusion.

Chu Heng heard the noise outside, and rushed out of the tent angrily.

"Are you ashamed to bully a girl! When anyone is not sick, you have not coughed when you are sick!"

Chen Jianming was startled by the sudden sound, and it took half a minute to recover.

"Don't think I don't know you two have an affair." Chen Jianming said sarcastically.

"A dog can't spit out ivory!" Chu Heng punched the opponent after he finished speaking.

In an instant, the two wrestled on the wet lawn.Although Chen Jianming was small, his body was quite nimble, and Chu Heng couldn't subdue him with two or three moves.

Suddenly, someone got up and got out of the tent.

Chen Jianming was strangled from behind and fell to the ground.

Yan Wuhui pulled Chu Heng up and stepped on Chen Jianming's chest.

"Try to curse again! I will let you lie here tonight!"

In the dark night, Chen Jianming seemed to see a pair of sharp eyes like blades.In an instant, an emotion called fear flooded his heart. "Big brother, spare your life! Big brother, spare your life!" Chen Jianming begged for mercy tremblingly.

"roll!"

Chen Jianming immediately scrambled and ran back to Elder Liu's tent.

After Chen Jianming left, Chu Heng squatted down and said to the people in the tent, "Su Wan, are you okay?

"Thank you." The other party's voice was choked with sobs, "I just took the medicine and it's much better."

"Then you rest, and call me anytime you need anything."

"Ah."

After hearing the other party's answer, Chu Heng sighed.

Back in the tent, Zhou Yan also woke up.

"It's okay, go to sleep!" Chu Heng showed a tired smile.

The surroundings regained their tranquility.

At this time, just above the heads of several people, a private plane flew by.There was a white-haired old man with dignified clothes and a peaceful expression sitting in the plane.

"Master, we are going to Omo Village soon." Someone gently woke up the white-haired old man who was sleeping with his eyes closed.
