autumn leaves fall

Outside the attic, crackling firecrackers exploded, and the children ran around, shouting: The coming-of-age ceremony has begun!

The drums sounded gradually, and people walked to the attic quickly, and the children ran even faster, wanting to pick a good place to watch this once-a-year gift.Adults with children who want to attend the coming-of-age ceremony are not so relaxed. Basically everyone has worries written on their faces, and from time to time there are a few exhortations to "come back safely and be careful of human beings".

In the middle of the round building, Pei wore a Dragon King mask and danced a sacrificial dance.Under the sound of rhythmic drums, Pei skillfully chanted an obscure incantation.

Just listen to Houtu's strong and inspiring voice:

Clearly go up to the sky, and come down to the earth under the light,

Listen to God, Jieer Jingfu.You will go to the world for seven days to observe the laws of nature that we govern, and you must never have any contact with humans. The rules of heaven are above, and you will never violate them.

As soon as the words fell, Pei's hoarse voice spread throughout the attic: "The Gate of Sea and Sky, open!

A dragon-shaped jet of water rises and falls with Pei's voice, and rises into the sky with amazing momentum. After flying around the attic, it immediately breaks through the sky. The children playfully touched the dragon's water jet with their hands and laughed happily.At this time, the sky was dark, several lightning bolts were ready to go, and the water dragon took advantage of the momentum and flew into the sea of ​​clouds, which seemed to be the key to the two worlds, and a huge vortex fell from the sky by the way.

Pei held the scepter with difficulty, keeping the door open.

A monster with the hexagram "Kan" drawn on its head offers a glass of water to every child participating in the coming-of-age ceremony.

Kan Zhongman, anyone who knows something about the Book of Changes knows that this hexagram symbolizes the ups and downs of the future, and also symbolizes the danger hidden under the plain appearance of the coming-of-age ceremony.

The children who drank the soup turned into red dolphins one by one, and slowly entered the human world along with the whirlpool.

From time to time, I could hear family members crying reluctantly, dolphins reluctant to part, and Pei shouted again: "Time is running out, let's get on the road!"

The outside world was noisy and chaotic, but it didn't seem to disturb the two people in Pei's room.

Luo did not know where to conjure a bamboo recliner and put it next to Qiu's cradle, and leaned on it carelessly.Grandma Pei is a very clean person, and the things in the house are kept in an orderly manner. After having Qiu, Pei spread several layers of wool on the floor of the house, so that Qiu would accidentally fall to the ground and hurt herself.

Luo shook the cradle twice from time to time with his right hand, and held a jug of jade wine in his left hand.Luo did the math, and it was almost 7 or 8 months since he left last time. The little thing in front of him has grown up a lot, but he is still a little one. Thinking of this, Luo, who was a little drunk, poked Qiu in his sleep. face, and smiled sweetly.

I don't know if the strength was too strong, but Qiu in the cradle quickly left her sleep.As soon as her big eyes opened, she stared at Luo, and with a small babbling sound, she struggled to stand up while holding on to the side of the cradle.

"Don't make trouble." Luo Wei squinted his eyes, and pushed the little guy back, "You're only so old, just lie down." Qiu suddenly became unhappy. Stretching his hand back, he began to move again.

Seeing that he was having fun, and that Grandma Pei's safety measures were really good, Luo simply ignored him and drank some wine with peace of mind.But she seemed to have underestimated the bear child's ability to kill, and the cradle was so stable that she turned it over as soon as she said it, and if she didn't pay attention, Qiu fell down.Before Luo could react, Qiu had already fallen to the ground.

As soon as he landed, Qiu subconsciously started to cry.

Luo hurriedly set up a new time and space next to Qiu, as if worried that Qiu's crying would attract other people.

With a wave of Luo's hand, the original jade jug and rattan chair disappeared.Luo squatted down and picked up Qiu who was crying.When he wanted to put him back in the cradle, he realized that the little ancestor had firmly grasped his clothes with his hands, rubbed his saliva on it twice more, he couldn't laugh or cry.

When being hugged by Luo, Qiu stopped crying, his eyes rolled and turned, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hey, Luo sighed, "You are really different from the children in the world." She had to accept her fate and hug her.

A white light flashed in Luo's hand, and a small red rattle appeared in his hand.He took the rattle and shook it in front of Qiu, and the sound of the rattle completely attracted Qiu's attention.

Luo took advantage of Qiu's opportunity to loosen his clothes by reaching out to snatch the rattle, and sent the little thing back to the cradle.

Qiu, who is not yet one year old, is very different from ordinary children. Now he can make grasping and holding movements, and he is still very stable.Qiu picked up the rattle and shook it, as if he had discovered some new continent.

Seeing Qiu playing engrossedly, Luo laughed, thinking to himself that this time the world is really not in vain, Qiu is much easier to coax than ordinary children, but he is a bit clingy.

The "adult ceremony" in the attic outside was in full swing, Luo took out a small longevity lock from his bosom, and put it on Qiu's neck.The material used for the longevity lock is the same as that of the bell on Luo's body. The front of the longevity lock is engraved with the scene of "cloud, rain and dragon soaring", and the lower right corner of the back of the longevity lock is engraved with a small word "Qiu".

After Luo put it on for Qiu, he admired it with satisfaction and nodded.

When the door was pushed open, Luo disappeared into the room.Qiu babbled along with the sound of crying.

"Qiu?" Grandma Pei hurriedly took off the Dragon King mask from her face, and made a fuss about Qiu. "Why are you crying? Are you hungry?" Under the magical voice of Grandma Pei, Qiu slowly calmed down.Still holding the red rattle tightly in his hand.

"When did you come here?" Grandma Pei looked at the toy in Qiu's hand with some doubts, "The children in the underwater world play with the same things as the children in the world, and the toys are big monsters with ingenuity. Made it. So suddenly this new toy appeared, Pei’s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down, and if she didn’t think in that direction, she wouldn’t realize that this rattle was a human thing.

Grandma Pei, who had just completed the completion ceremony, was still a little tired, so she fed Qiu some goat milk, and after coaxing him to sleep, she went back to her room to rest.

A faint figure appeared where Luo had disappeared, and he carefully touched Qiu's face with his hand, whispering: "You have to grow up quickly... It is said in the world that as long as a child is locked, he will be safe and sound. Grow up safely. I made one for you too, I don’t know if you like it or not.”

"I'm leaving again. I can't stay in the same place for too long, but I will come to see you next year. Don't forget me."

As soon as Luo disappeared, Qiu, who had been sleeping before, opened his eyes in a daze, as if he was looking for something, but soon, sleepiness pulled Qiu back to his consciousness.

The author has something to say: I never expected to meet such a beautiful you here!
