Hua Ying's old dream

It was already late at night when Qiongtian came back, and Jinhu hid everything very well, without revealing any flaws.Konoha was so hungry that her stomach ached, but she was no longer in the mood to overeat.Afraid that Qiongtian would notice his downcast expression, Jinhu winked at him twice or three times, but Konoha vaguely felt that Qiongtian was so smart, she should have taken everything into consideration, although she didn't ask anything.She dragged him to tell various interesting stories about the life of the goddess, and dragged him to try various small games, but cleverly avoided some topics.

What kind of past does Konoha have?What kind of future will Qiongtian have?Why is Konoha still left in the illusion of the shrine? When will the time of parting come?Konoha didn't dare to think about it, and Qiongtian didn't mention it, and the inside and outside of the shrine were full of playful laughter.For some moments, Konoha felt that Qiongtian was no different from ordinary girls. Apart from her extraordinary beauty and special identity, she was also greedy for food and play, with real happiness and unbearable sadness, especially when she lost the game. Acting coquettishly, like Konoha's female classmates in the real world.

Is it just such a girl who is facing the fate of disappearing soon?Will she turn into a morning mist in the forest, or a cherry blossom under a tree?

Konoha lay on the hard plank bed tossing and turning, and finally fell asleep under the even breathing of Qiongtian and Jinhu.In the dream, the memory gates are opened, and the past rushes forward.

The fact that the four of Suzuko went to the shrine secretly to pray was discovered by everyone, and the parents were about to beat and scold them, but they still sighed and let it go.A year has passed since then, time has dilute the pain, and the life of every household in the town is back on track. Even Konoha's parents no longer wash their faces with tears every day, but try to clean up their mood and prepare to start a new life. Life.At this moment, rumors began to spread in the small town——Konoha is not dead, he is still alive.

This statement was spread from the mouth of an old lady. She swore that she saw Konoha at the fence in the backyard, and described the scene vividly: she went to boil water in the morning and found that the water tank was empty. Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I walked to the well in the backyard, and suddenly saw a child jumping over the fence!When the aunt walked a few steps forward to look, the child had disappeared into the forest.While fetching water, the aunt subconsciously recalled that scene. Her mind was a little confused when she just woke up, but she immediately matched the child's face with her own memory.

It was as if a thunderbolt had struck into my mind, and my limbs and bones woke up with a jerk. Isn't that child Konoha?How could he be Konoha?That's a dead man!The aunt's legs shook, and she almost fell into the well with the bucket. She ran out trembling, and told the neighbors who had gone out early in the morning to tell the story.Unexpectedly, there were not many people who believed this. Everyone felt that the aunt was dazzled when she was half asleep, and the fog was very heavy in the early morning, so there were some mistakes.

But the aunt insisted that she was right. No matter how old and dim-witted she is, can she still see animals as people?But under everyone's persuasion, the aunt still swallowed the matter back to her stomach - Konoha's parents must not hear the news, the dead rest in peace, the dead rest in peace.

However, it didn't take long before news of Konoha came from all over the town.Someone saw him picking fruit in the mountains, someone saw him fishing by the river, someone even opened a breakfast shop early in the morning, and sold two buns to a kind-hearted little boy. He and everyone disappeared, leaving the two stones in his hand that were used as coins.Everyone usually has no time to think about it. When the sun goes down, they gather together in twos and threes to gossip, and they piece together all kinds of evidence.The aunt who fetched the water at first was finally proud. She patted her thigh and always said "I said I read it right" when she met everyone.

But is Konoha really alive?After wandering around for a year, not only did his voice and appearance remain unchanged, but why did he still wear the same clothes as before?In the past year, where did he live and what did he eat?Why not come back to town and meet family and friends?Every time this matter is mentioned, people are silent, maybe the fact is something they don't want to admit but they have to face - the real Konoha died in that river a long time ago, and now "he" has become a mountain ghost , the mountain ghost who approached the town again a year later with unknown purposes.

As soon as this remark came out, people panicked.Someone with good intentions collected information from various sources and found that most of the townspeople who saw Konoha lived near the mountains, and they all lived in the early morning when the morning fog was thick. With this evidence, more and more people believed that Konoha was already a mountain ghost. .In the blink of an eye, the rainy season has passed, and it is August again. While busy preparing for the summer festival, more people feel nervous. What will happen in the lively and crowded national celebration?

Even so, no one is willing to reveal the slightest bit to Konoha's parents, no matter how much speculation they have in their hearts, they don't want to disturb their finally calmed down mood.But Konoha's parents are still aware of it sensitively. After all, no matter how tight-lipped they are, those dodging anxious eyes and hesitant sighs still make them very concerned.Finally, at the dusk of the festival full of delicious and delicious fragrances, they saw with their own eyes a child who looked like a Konoha slipped through the crowd, caught up with a girl in a beautiful dress not far away, and after taking the apple candy from the girl bent over, he pulled her The corner of his clothes went away.

Konoha's mother frowned, and followed up with doubts.Konoha's father followed behind him.The children and girls in front didn't realize the existence of the stalker at all. She gently took his hand and walked through the stalls, just like every pair of siblings participating in the festival. Suddenly, a large firework bloomed in the night behind her. The firework festival started, the boy turned around, smiled and pointed to the sky for the girl to see——

It's clearly Konoha's face, she will never admit it!Konoha's mother didn't care anymore, she rushed forward to grab the child to see what happened.Unexpectedly, a few people suddenly emerged from the crowd and chased after "Konoha". Like Konoha's mother, they followed Konoha all night, just to find the right time to catch him like a monster.

Hearing his mother's scream, Konoha met her eyes, and stood there in a daze, motionless, until the girl gave him a hand, then he came back to his senses, and ran after the girl.It was supposed to be very close, but they slipped in and out of the crowd like fish swimming in water, and no one could catch up.Finally, hearing the cries of his mother behind him, Konoha turned his head with red eyes. At the same time, he stumbled and fell on the messy wooden barrels piled up on the corner of the street, and the candy apple in his hand fell far away.

If Konoha's tears just now were just inexplicable feelings, at this time he was really crying, his body was covered with mud, and his sleeves were covered with tears and snot.A few talisman papers for catching monsters flew over, but they had no effect when pasted on him.Seeing that the comer was approaching, the girl in Chinese clothes who had been running in front of him turned her head and pulled Konoha up, and the two of them disappeared in plain sight.

The exquisite and elegant bathrobe, the glamorous and coquettish beauty... The moment everyone looked back, everyone could see clearly, there had never been such a girl in the town.Everyone is talking about it, this is probably a monster transformed from the mountain, right?If the talisman paper doesn't work, it means that Konoha is still a good boy, but he was just bewitched by monsters, right?

Without Konoha's parents pleading, the townspeople spontaneously formed a team and went back into the mountain to search for Konoha's whereabouts.Unexpectedly, within a long time, Qinggang found Konoha unconscious by the river where Suzuko fell into the water. Back then, the search and rescue team almost turned the mountain over, why didn't they find it at all?In short, Konoha was sent back to her parents, Aoka and Etsuko finally relieved their guilt, and the farce came to an end.

But the good times didn’t last long. When Konoha woke up after being in a coma for two weeks, the first thing she called out was the name of the goddess in the shrine.Gradually, under the care and care of relatives and friends, Konoha barely recognized her parents, and she no longer mentioned the word Qiongtian, but only talked about the past. An embarrassing end.Under the strange eyes of everyone, Konoha's parents finally made up their mind to take Konoha out of the small town and head to the big city to start a new life.
