Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen Guanghan

The outside of the restaurant is covered with snow.Under the eaves hung with icicles, the little girl crouched on the wooden wall with her head tilted, silently.Only occasionally when the cold wind blows, her thin body trembles slightly, and the night walkers passing by know that it is not a little wild cat that freezes to death. "Red beans?" Someone said softly. A chubby little hand stretched out, stroking the little girl's tangled hair awkwardly.Sprite doesn't know if this kind of petting can make a human believe him, he used to just pet the head of a monkey or a squirrel.

After a long time, Hongdou opened her blank eyes and looked around aimlessly, although she couldn't see anything. "Master...you can do me a favor, I've been hungry for days." Hongdou said. "I'm not the young master," the ghost scratched his little head, "I'm a friend of Gonggong...but I'm a goblin." He wondered if he should hide his identity from Hongdou, and most people in the city found out With his green hair and small fangs, his bell-like eyes would widen, and he would pass out or run away with a shriek, his expression more monster than monster.

"Can you fly?" Hongdou asked. "You can fly by summoning a strong wind, but it's different from the flying of a god-man," said the sprite, "Aren't you afraid of me?" "Not afraid." Hongdou smiled weakly, "I heard that monsters can fly, with red or green hair, some are beautiful, and some are very imposing. But monsters can eat people." "Aren't you afraid that I'll eat you?" "I'm a little wild cat with no meat, and monsters won't eat me." Hongdou said, "If monsters eat me, they won't talk to me."

"Where's the lunatic? Didn't the lunatic come to see you?" "The lunatic went to get me something to eat, I'm very hungry," Hong Dou pressed his stomach, "It's hard." "Oh, I wanted to ask you something, so I'll wait until you're full." "Young master, tell me, it's okay, I'm often hungry and I'm used to it." "I want to exchange a secret with you." Spooky scratched his head, "Don't you want a moon?" Hongdou suddenly raised her head and was stunned for a while, then those dull eyes suddenly lit up, and a blush appeared on her yellow and thin face, "Yeah, I just want to touch the moon... are you Monster, you are capable, right?" She was silent for a while, "But what secrets can I exchange with you? I don't know anything."

"I heard from people in the city that you are very accurate in fortune-telling. I want to ask if I can be with someone in the future." The ghost rubbed the snow on the ground with his toes. Get you the moon." Hong Dou stretched out her hand to grope, touched Yaoyao's hand, and slowly stroked his palm. After a moment, her expression sank, "If I tell you the bad result, will you stop making a moon for me? I used to tell fortunes to people, and if I got a bad result, I would be beaten." "Ghosts always keep their word." Sprite said: "Is it a bad result? That's okay, tell me what my future is!"

The moment Hongdou opened his mouth, the little monster blocked his ears with two fingers, watched the beggar witch's lips move, and completed the prophecy of the future. "It's over, won't you be unhappy?" Hong Dou asked timidly. "No," said the sprite, "I'm not unhappy, now it's my turn." He put his hand on Hongdou's forehead, and as he closed his eyes and began to meditate, the sound of the wind around him quietly stopped.There was a faint light between the sprite's brows, he opened his eyes, drew a circle in the air with his fingers, and pulled Xu.He took hold of the circle, and a radiant moon was already in his hands.The bright and clean light illuminated the area around the wine shop like daytime, and the crystal snow shone brightly.

He and Hongdou stood in the Guanghan Palace of Yushu Qiongzhi. "Here you are, Moon." The sprite said, "Touch carefully, I want to pay it back." When he handed the moon into Hongdou's arms, Hongdou opened his eyes for the first time in his life.Spooky looked at those clear eyes, and smiled with the moonlight reflected in them.She just kept looking at the bright moon in her hand, seeing it floating in the palm of her hand like an illusion, and when she touched it lightly, it was like a transparent bubble, but it would not burst. "Why do you want to touch the moon?" Ghost crouched beside her.

"I heard that there is a Guanghan Palace on the moon. It is full of sweet-scented osmanthus trees. There are beautiful sisters and handsome brothers living there. There are white jade toads and rabbits. It is the best place in the world. People who live there will be happy, but it's a bit cold." "It's not a little bit, it's very cold, and there's only one sweet-scented osmanthus tree. The handsome elder brother is very twisted and keeps cutting it. The beautiful older sister is very boring, with an expression of 'I'm lonely and depressed' all over her face, and she never Ignoring that elder brother, walking around with the rabbit in his arms. That toad doesn’t know who to play with, and he croaks by himself, and the whole Guanghan Palace is full of its voice, which is very annoying.” The sprite said: “My master said She went."

"No, it's not like that," Hongdou said softly, "it's a very good place, I know it, my brother and sister are sitting under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, drinking sugar water and eating white flour buns, the sweet-scented osmanthus is falling on my sister's long clothes, and the rabbit is sleeping on the bed. Next to my sister, the toad can sing. I really want to go there..." "Like a lunatic going to Kunlun?" Xie Yao understood. Hong Dou smiled and said, "My Guanghan Palace is better than his Kunlun. There is only an old lady in Kunlun Mountain, the Queen Mother."

"Well, yours is better than his." Ghost stroked her hair lightly. The moon in Hongdou's hand suddenly shattered and turned into countless small bright moons, which slipped from her fingers like water droplets and rolled against her feet. The moonlight was like an ocean, slowly dimming. "The time is up, this spell can't last long." Yao Yao said, "I'll get it for you next time when I accumulate some demon power." "Hmm! I saw Chang'e just now, and it's exactly what I thought." Hongdou whispered, "Chang'e is so beautiful."

At first he wanted to say, "I just borrowed some moonlight, but I didn't dare to borrow Chang'e." But he nodded and said, "Yes, yes." "My fortune is not accurate, young master, don't mind, let me tell you a joke, about a pig who also wants to go to the moon to find Chang'e," Hongdou said: "It has a magical wheat seed... Later, The Emperor of Heaven sent Xuannv to tell the pig, if you don’t eat wheat for fifty years, then your wheat will pile up to the sky, and you can climb up the wheat mountain to see Chang’e. Pig’s greatest hope is to go to the moon I saw Chang'e, so it strangled its stomach, and planned not to eat for fifty years, just watching the wheat grow more and more day by day..." Sprites listened to the story silently, watching the smile on Hongdou's little face.He suddenly felt a great sadness, his nose was sour, and his tears were dripping down, which was hundreds or thousands of times stronger than the sadness he felt when he saw the monkey die in the woods. "Fifty years have passed, and the pig finally saw the wheat piled up on the Moon Palace. Although it was very hungry, it still tried its best to climb up the wheat mountain. When it heard the sound of the Guanghan Palace, the pig couldn't move anymore. Then it fell down and died of starvation. At that time, with the death of the pig, its wheat seeds also disappeared. Therefore, the Emperor of Heaven was no longer afraid that someone would climb up to the Heavenly Palace. The Emperor of Heaven smiled and said to Xuannv, You see, if it wasn't so greedy for the moon...it wouldn't...starve to death..." "Pigs are so stupid..." Hongdou's little muddy face twisted, showing an ugly smile, "Do you think it's funny? I'm that silly pig." Her voice became smaller and smaller, and was finally swallowed by the cold wind. "Red beans! Red beans! I brought you something to eat!" Gong Gong turned around the corner with a steamed bun in one hand, and stopped in a daze. Spooky squatted in front of Hongdou, wiped her face with snow water on her sleeve, the mud was wiped off, that small face was thin and beautiful, and the smile left behind was also very beautiful. On the street in the morning, two masters and servants who had just escaped from prison were walking. Chi You is now seven feet tall, quite heroic, walking more and more like Xing Tian, ​​rampant like a crab, completely in line with their status as the master of Zhuolu with a knife handle.But today's Chi You's eyes are shining brightly, and his walking posture can be called "swaying", which even Xing Tian thinks is too exaggerated. "Young Master, your posture...is very heroic." Xing Tian probed. "of course?" "I just want to know what kind of happy event Shaojun has met. You are so proud. We just got out of the prison now. After eating the last meal, you can be so happy?" "Hey, don't try to trick me." "Because Princess Yunjin kissed you last night? Do you think you have sustenance for the rest of your life?" Chi You staggered suddenly, and stopped walking immediately. Turning around, his face was flushed, "Don't you say you will die? What's the matter with a kiss? I'm seventeen years old, and I can get married in my hometown! Seventeen years old First kiss, it's very late, it can't be too late! And it's a teenager's private matter, very secret and very personal! You should just say that the snowflakes last night were so beautiful and walk away as if nothing happened!" "You guys are fighting without combat uniforms, what's there to be shy about? Well, well, actually, I didn't see anything, I just heard this voice in the snow," Xing Tian kissed loudly twice on the back of his hand , "Any two people are possible, maybe you and the princess, maybe you and the goblin, maybe the princess and the goblin, maybe the two bosses of your Knife Hilt Club!" "What a disgusting imagination." "Anyway, I didn't see it clearly. Anyone who asked me said I didn't see it clearly. Isn't the most important thing in walking the rivers and lakes is loyalty and loyalty? Young Master, do you think I have enough loyalty?" "You really didn't see clearly?" Chi You grabbed Xing Tian's arm. "Really! Why did you lie to you? I was winking at the time. When I heard the voice of 'Bobo', I caught Master Yu Feng and left. I don't know how the goblins left." Xing Tian was very serious. "How can it be as exaggerated as 'Bobo'?" Chi You blushed with anger, and was a little disappointed, "Actually, I didn't sleep last night, I kept thinking about it, and I still can't remember if Yunjin kissed me... You said I'll see you today When it comes to Yunjin, how should I talk to her?" "If it were me, I would say beauty, your lips are so soft." "Get out! Go to hell!" "Then say go home with me to meet your parents and let's discuss marriage. I'm a very traditional man. Once I kiss a woman, I will be with her for the rest of my life!" "You're making fun of me!" Chi You aimed his fist at Xing Tian's back and smashed it. Xing Tian screamed and jumped up and ran. The two of them finally stopped in front of the wine shop, and Chi You didn't have to think about talking to Yun Jin anymore, he didn't need to be shy or whisper, what he saw was Yun Jin silently shedding tears and piled firewood on Hongdou, Uncle Yu Shifeng They were all surrounded by firewood piles, and Qi Mei blew a lighted firewood against the wall of the wine shop. Chi You was stiff all over, watching the firewood slowly bury the red beans, the red beans sat in the firewood, with a clean and beautiful smile on his face. Qi Mei threw the thin firewood out, and the fire was lit, burning blazingly, engulfing Hongdou's smile and body.She was so thin that she turned to ashes before the firewood burned out.No one spoke, Feng Bo raised his long sleeves and gave it away. The tornado roared and rushed to the sky, bringing firewood, flames and dust to the distant Zhuolu Plain. Yun Jin said, "Red Dou died last night, from starvation." Gonggong played a sanxian, and sat on the threshold of the wine shop to sing, hoarse and high-pitched, like a broken gong, a broken bell, and a broken flute: His voice was sad and mournful, frivolous and sincere. "Hahahaha, I rushed up to the clouds with a big knife in my hand, and kicked Dahong away. Unexpectedly, the sword of the Yellow Emperor shone brightly, and I lost my chance. After the wind blows..." In the restaurant, Gonggong laughed and told a story by himself, spitting and splashing, and no one around was listening. Chi You stared blankly at Gong Gong, then suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Gong Gong who was a head taller than him, and slapped him on the face, "Are you really crazy? Hongdou is dead!" Gonggong touched his cheek, "Yes, Hongdou is dead." Chi You couldn't believe it, Gong Gong was so peaceful, at first it was Gong Gong who cared the most about the little girl's life and found food for her every day. "Shaojun, you haven't seen dead people, right? Many beggars die every day in Zhuolu City," Gong Gong grinned, "Their families are ruined, why don't they die? It's lucky to live a day. Dead people Too much, does it make me sad every day? Why should I be sad, who has the mood to be sad, and who has so much free time?" "But I will avenge Hongdou!" He became serious again. "revenge?" "I put the blame on Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. If he hadn't locked us up, we wouldn't have run out of red beans, and we wouldn't have starved to death. Therefore, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor is the culprit!" Gonggong said loudly. Say, "So I'm going to kill him a hundred times in my story! A hundred times!" Chi You let go of this unreasonable person and backed away step by step. "Hahahaha," Gonggong jumped onto the wine table with all his teeth and claws, "I turned over and shouted: 'Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor! Come! I will fight you to the death!'" "Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor! Come on! Let us fight to the death!" He roared up to the sky. Chi You leaned against the pillar at the entrance of the restaurant, staring at the empty eaves. "Chi You, don't be too sad," Yun Jin sat beside him, stroking his hair, "Xiaoyao said that the red bean touched the moon, very satisfied." "I'm not sad, I'm just thinking of the question I asked you." "what?" "I don't think why people have to die is actually not important, the key is why people have to live? Just like Hongdou, I thought that there is a good place in the world called Guanghan Palace, but there is no Guanghan Palace." Chi You grabbed Rubbing his hair, shaking his head. "But what do you have to believe!" Yun Jin hugged him, "For example, believe that I will hug you when you feel cold."
