【Ghost White】Floating Lantern on the Other Shore

Foreword:

※The extra episode of "Floating Lantern on the Other Shore" is a bit of a prequel.It is somewhat connected with the previous short "Cause and Effect", which does not affect reading.

※This is the first time that I have officially written a letter.But because I don't think Ding is cute at all, it should be said that in the context of a mountain village where living sacrifices are held, the words Ding and Meng cannot be related.So the Ding I wrote is not a cute route, and it might not be cute at all, please pay attention to this point.

※In fact, the place names and some appellations should be more rigorously used in ancient names, but for the sake of legibility, I have omitted this part as much as possible.

※The three views are not correct, there are private design and past fabrications.

※As for the view of the gods, due to the different perspectives, it may be contrary to the description of "Floating Lantern on the Other Side". Please note this.

That day, a beautiful man came to the village.Compared with most of the villagers whose complexion was dull due to malnutrition, that person had fair and smooth skin, which glistened under the sunlight, looking spotlessly clean.Even though the village was covered with loess, he still sat on the porch without paying attention, helping the villagers make a diagnosis.

Even though the environment was so dirty, there seemed to be a membrane around him, separating him from the flying dust.

He wears two big flowers on his head, but it is unknown whether they are real flowers or just fake flowers made of cloth of unknown material, because Ding has no chance to get close to that person, so naturally he has no way confirm.The red earrings on the ears and the decorations on the shoulders and necks were beautiful patterns that had never been seen before, and they swayed slightly with his gestures.

The complicated costumes are also gorgeous that Ding has never seen before and cannot be described in words, which is quite different from the residents wrapped in coarse cloth.

Ding just watched from afar, as if he has always stood by and stared at others enjoying the "natural" family and friendship, quietly standing aside and watching the villagers praise that person's medical skills with flattering expressions clever.

Ah, I laughed.

No, to be precise, that person had a smile on his face.It's just that the radians of blooming are different, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.There is a unique temperament in that person's body, which can change the surrounding atmosphere and bring a gentle and quiet atmosphere.

Ding doesn't know what happiness is, but if so-called happiness really exists in this world, maybe it's just a feeling that this person will have when he stares at him and smiles.

and many more.

Ding suddenly discovered a blind spot, yes, why did that person look at him?Obviously standing so far away, still hiding in the shadows.No, maybe he wasn't looking at himself, but just looking in his direction.

Thinking of being seen by that person, Ding suddenly panicked.I always feel that being watched by such a beautiful person, I will be exposed to the scorching sun with such a dirty appearance.But he didn't want to leave just like that, and wanted to see him a few more times.

Because this village is surrounded by mountains, it does not communicate frequently with other villages, so it can be said that it is very closed.Why would a person like this come here on purpose?Ding retracted himself beside the fallen mound, leaving only one-third of his face exposed and continued to peek at that person.

It's a pity that he couldn't continue watching. Just as he retreated to the side of the mound, the villagers followed the man's line of sight, and happened to see Ding poking his head out to look at them.

The atmosphere changed in an instant, that person didn't know what happened, he only knew that the harmonious atmosphere had changed drastically because of that child.Somebody started throwing stones, and more and more stones rained down on the mound.

He was still pinching a child with a high fever, Pulse, and it was too late to stop them.He anxiously put the child lying on his lap into his mother's hands, and was about to stop him, but a resistance pressed his shoulders. He turned his head and saw that it was the village chief who had just led him into the village.

The village chief, whose eyes were covered by white eyebrows, leaned on a cane, twirled his white beard and said, "That's our village's business and has nothing to do with you. It's better to just look at it like this to avoid public anger. Anyway, it's an outsider or a Orphan that no one cares about, don’t meddle in other people’s business and make you messy.”

This was not uncommon in closed tribes, and it was not the first time he had seen such a thing with his own eyes.It's just that this bloody scene was staged in front of me, no matter how many times I watched it, I still couldn't get used to it.

The kid seemed used to being treated like this, and when the first stone was thrown at him, he got away like a cunning rabbit.He is really a clever kid, but his steps seem to be a little bumpy and his body is thin. Judging from the situation of this village, he probably hasn't had a good meal for a long time.

"This lunch prepared for you, please enjoy it while it's hot."

The village chief handed over the leaves with two hand-made rice balls, even with a little salt sprinkled on them.For rural villages, this is already extremely delicious. After all, it is in the deep mountains. What a precious thing salt is.

"I'm sorry because the weather has been dry for a long time, and the fields in the village are almost deserted. I can only serve you some unseemly things. Thank you for healing the villagers and expressing your heart. If you didn't come, the newborn baby in the family The baby may not be safe."

It turned out that the baby with fever just now was a newborn child of the village chief's family.He suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the woman's clothes were ordinary but not ragged.

In fact, even if he doesn't eat the food enshrined in the world, he can live in this world well by drinking the wind and drinking the dew.Just now, he wanted to refuse, but the thin figure with loess on his face suddenly flashed in his mind, so he changed his words and said thank you, then took the two rice balls and put them in his arms.

"Thank you, that's enough. But I'm not hungry yet, I'll eat later."

In other words, this is actually not considered an offering, after all, they don't know his status as a god.Even if he reported his wealth, as citizens of Yamatai, they would naturally not know the names of the Divine Beasts of Shenzhou.What's more, if you don't show your real body, you can't tell who is human and who is god based on his appearance that is almost the same as that of human beings.

"Really? Mr. Bai Ze." The village head raised his white eyebrows stained with a little sand, and glanced at him: "Then, please pay more attention these few days. Seeing that your clothes are not ordinary, please pay attention to your words and deeds , so as not to get into trouble."

"Please don't worry about this, any troubles in such a small village will probably not escape your sight."

Not only the village chief, from the moment he entered the village, his eyes, full of probing and distrust like a needle, were projected on Bai Ze uninterruptedly.The gorgeous clothes are incompatible with this dilapidated mountain village, and they are also wary of strangers.

"No matter how narrow a place is, there are blind spots." The village chief grinned, showing his yellow teeth, and said, "If you get involved with people and things that shouldn't be involved, and you are dragged into a dark corner Here, I may not be able to take care of you."

"I see... Thank you for your advice, I will keep it in mind."

Weird.

"Ah, about your accommodation tonight... Although the humble house is very narrow and crowded, there is still room for one person to stay overnight. There may be poisonous snakes and beasts in this barren mountain at night. If you don't mind, you can stay in our house .”

"It doesn't matter, the world is home, I can find a tree trunk to rest at random, and I can make do with it for a night."

"Really? Sorry for the poor hospitality. I wonder how long you plan to stay?"

Bai Ze raised the corner of his eyes and glanced at the village head, knowing it clearly.Asking this is not hospitable, it is simply because the disease in the village needs someone to take care of it, and it is necessary to keep the "guest" until the care is over.

"In about three days, the patients in the village can be healed."

"That's it, then I'll trouble you." The village head rubbed his hands together, showing a flattering smile: "As you can see, our village is located in a very remote mountain, and if there is any disease, it is impossible to seek help immediately. I don’t know why someone like you would pass by here, but it was a great help.”

"I won the prize, it's not a big deal."

Bai Ze stood up and straightened his clothes, standing on the stone steps in the corridor, his flower-like sleeves swaying with the breeze brought by him.

"It's getting late too. Well, let's say goodbye today."

It was an era of mixed people and gods——

Can't square things

Ah, bad luck.

But who is unlucky?Is it the self who is searching for the child in the scorching sun and braving the flying dust, or is it the weak child who cannot eat three meals a day?

It's hard to open your eyes with such a big dust.

Although more than half of this situation is due to myself, the reason why I came here, this dilapidated small village, is entirely the result of divination.Along the way, he used bird hexagrams, rice hexagrams, shell divinations, tortoise shell divinations, etc., as long as he wanted to use them all.

And the hexagrams did not disappoint him, as long as wherever he went was not drought and famine, continuous torrential rain, plague ravaging, or war and chaos.

Of course, it wasn't that he made a mistake as the Seal of Good Omen, because he was indeed following the "Great Bad Omen".No matter what kind of auspicious direction the divination gave, he did not go in that direction, but followed the most ominous direction in the hexagram.

On the one hand, it might be an idea to neutralize the evil hexagrams in the direction of the great evil by following the evil one if he is an auspicious seal.

But the main reason is that the Heavenly Emperor told him that the Heavenly Tribulation that belongs to him is in the east.But the east is so vast, if you follow the premonition of the seal of auspicious omens, it must be some good directions, but it will deviate further and further from his destined "Heavenly Tribulation", which violates his original intention of taking risks (continuously dying) up.

He was very curious about what the so-called "Heavenly Tribulation" was.

I, who have lived for nearly a hundred million years, have not encountered any "heavenly catastrophe".Every time I listen to the gossip of the Kunlun goddesses about which gods encountered "heavenly calamity" and disappeared, or found true love, the talk is full of hype, but I have never seen it with my own eyes.

As a divine beast who knows everything, he is extremely curious about the "Heavenly Tribulation" that he does not know and has never seen.Even if this curiosity is not allowed, it is the "knowledge" that was severely warned by the Emperor of Heaven that he will die in the world, it still cannot shake his idea of ​​​​seeking "Heavenly Tribulation".

The so-called the more prohibited, the more I want to do it, maybe it means this kind of mood.

And the reason why Bai Ze stayed in this village was mainly because after arriving near this mountain village, no matter how he divination, the content was still unclear.There is no best or worst position, which makes him lose the basis for judgment.When he was hesitating whether to enter the village or not, he saw the child.

Stepping on the huge tree roots with bare feet, it seems to be gazing at the sunlight reflected in the gaps in the yellow leaves, and it seems to be watching the old birds standing by the nest on the trunk to feed their young.Just when he was about to call out to him, he saw the child flashing into the forest.

In just a moment, his figure disappeared in the woods.Looking back, I saw the village chief leading some villagers to look at him defensively, so he had to put aside the matter of the child just now and concentrate on dealing with these adults who seemed difficult to get along with.

Most of the gods are not nosy, and they have never heard of prayers in the world.Playing puzzles through the ages for a hundred years, contemplating the movement of the heavens, reading wordless books to understand the past events of the world, preparing all kinds of panaceas that the gods can't use, and arranging endless feasts of fine wine and wine. Changed life.

Originally born in the world, they were not entrusted with the mission of protecting human beings. To put it bluntly, they were just the shackles that human beings arbitrarily imposed on them.Born in such a wild and uninhabited moment, how could it have a heart to protect mankind since the prehistoric period.

The divinity of each god is different, even the gods with softer divinity, such as the auspicious omen of "compassion", does not mean that they have to respond to requests.

On the contrary, if they do favors to human beings on a whim, they don't ask for anything in return. Beings like them want to take everything at their fingertips. For them, it is better to send a bunch of vegetarian fruits that they don't necessarily eat. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

At first, they didn't even know what "compassion" looked like. Rather than saying that they didn't know, it was because this word was not covered in their behavior patterns. They just had this word, but it was not recognized use.

Only then did I understand what "compassion" is. Since the emergence of human beings, some gods have mixed into the world because of their interest in human behavior. They bestow favors on human beings on a whim.

In those distant years, they were more arbitrary than most folks imagined about gods, and they were unrestrained in the world.

Some gods even wondered why human beings are always struggling to survive, and always meditate and pray for their protection when encountering suffering.The world is impermanent, and those who live must perish.In the past, the sea can be turned into fields under time, and it can also be destroyed by floods in an instant and return to the sea.

Only by disregarding life and death can one achieve Taoism and become a fairy.

But only gods like them who stare at nothingness for a long time can have such leeway to look at the principles of nature at a height beyond the reach of current human beings.

Bai Ze has naturally thought about this problem, but for him, it is an instinct for all things to struggle for survival. This is something that the gods who are free from disease, pain, age, and death can't understand, but they can't use their own Opinion is judgmental.

Transcending from life to death is a painful process, most human beings can't bear it, and some don't even think that they are dead, and they will linger in their hometown forever.

There must be a reason for human beings tossing and turning between birth, old age, sickness, death, love and parting, meeting hatred and hatred, not being able to get what they want, and suffering from the five aggregates.

If you want to talk about why you pursue "Heavenly Tribulation", perhaps this is the reason.If "Heavenly Tribulation" is really as described by the goddess and the ancient books, whether such a twists and turns can allow him to taste the so-called four sufferings and eight sufferings in the world, what kind of taste it is.

Even so, he did not intend to interfere with life, aging, sickness and death in the world. The villages he passed along the way were treated for common diseases, and the patients who showed their faces were given medicines to reduce their pain, rather than acting against the sky.But just like that, he got a lot of good reputation.

For Bai Ze, human beings are very cute, especially girls who are soft and sensual.

Giving small favors and favors is just a matter of raising your hands, and you can often feel the gratitude from the other party's heart.Of course, there are also people who don't know good and bad, but he is so forgetful, and he will give priority to eliminating unpleasant things from his body.

It is unprecedented to be interested in a human child.He doesn't particularly like child gods, but doesn't hate them either.It should be said that compared to the importance of girls, the rest are secondary.

Prior to this, Bai Ze was only interested in goddesses who exuded fragrance, imitating the courtship behavior among primitive humans, making the goddesses tremble with laughter, but no one was serious with him, and usually pinched his dick Face or touch his hair, just sobbing.

Occasionally, I will meet a girl in the world, but it is a pity that it is always fleeting.The last second is still bright like a flower, and the next second is about to die. To him, human time is like a fleeting moment.

In the face of endless knowledge, whether it is a goddess or a human being, only girls can bring him various emotions, or he himself just reflects the emotions of girls and makes corresponding responses, while he I don't have those emotions myself.

Different from the feeling of pursuing knowledge, the ever-changing emotions like real spring, only a girl can bring him such a delicate feeling.Even if it's just touching the hair or touching the face, every girl's softness and inner feelings are different, and a thousand girls will have a thousand changes.

Ah, in fact, he just subconsciously ignored the option of men. As long as he was talking to men, even the summoning by the Emperor of Heaven failed to arouse his interest, except for the conversation in "Heavenly Tribulation".

But that's also because the topic of "Heavenly Tribulation" was first brought up by a girl, it was a topic that the goddess chatted about while tasting flat peaches in a pleasant afternoon, so she became interested.

Obviously just thinking that maybe it can be the topic of chatting with the goddess next time, and accidentally fell into the world of pursuing "truth".After talking with the Emperor of Heaven, I really had the idea of ​​exploring the matter of "Heavenly Tribulation".

It can be said that the two things "knowledge" and "girls" can be equated with him.It's just that, in this way, he only took one look as if he was being sucked into a whirlpool, and became interested in an ordinary child no matter how he looked.

Is this a whim?Or was the skinny child actually a girl, just malnourished and unrecognizable?For the first time, Bai Ze doubted his good eyesight. He wasn't bragging. Even if the girl was wrapped up tightly, he could still see through the disguise and detect the real gender of the girl.

He lowered his body and walked into the gradually withered and yellowing woods, and the dust was finally no longer covered by the trees.Although the sickly trees were constantly falling dry leaves to tell him that they were on the way to death, there were also many dead trees that fell to the ground after being felled along the way.

It's already like this, I'm afraid the water source will be completely exhausted sooner or later.I don't know if the owner of this mountain abandoned this land, or if it was caused by other reasons.

He jumped onto an old tree and stood still, closed his eyes, and then opened his nine eyes.

After searching for a while, I couldn't help laughing, the child was actually standing outside the old tree hole near him, digging something intently.It's really hard to find a place to go through iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.

"Hey, hello, what are you doing here?"

Ding heard a call from his head, so he raised his head and looked at the person coming. The reason why he didn't run away was mainly because he recognized the voice, which was the man who had just helped the villagers see a doctor.

On the other end, Bai Ze, who finally saw the child's face, suddenly discovered the reason why Ding had always felt a sense of disobedience.Yes, this child is still so young, but his face is dead.

He fell from the tree, walked forward to look at it carefully, and took the opponent's wrist to feel the pulse.

Well, although it's a little weak, it's just because of malnutrition, it's not a big deal.Therefore, the child's cause of death can only be external force.Whether it's an accident or the ruthless hands of those villagers, the fastest is a few days, and the slowest is no more than a month.

"Um...what's the matter?"

Bai Ze patted his head, and asked softly, "Doesn't it hurt to be thrown by a stone?"

The child shook his head, as if he was not used to being stroked on his head like this, he raised his little hand as if he wanted to push away the big hand raging on his head, showing a somewhat confused expression.The gentleness of the adults on the spur of the moment usually has a purpose and can be guarded against, but they are a little at a loss for such pure kindness.

"I got out of the way and they missed me."

"Is that so..."

Is this kid a beast?Bai Ze was secretly surprised.It seems that he has been hungry for a long time and hasn't eaten well, and those situations that can be said to be flying with rocks just now have not been thrown at him. What a wild intuition and flexible skill it is to be able to do it.

If the bull-nosed people in Kunlun saw this, they would fly to the sky for joy, and they would probably kidnap people back to practice in the mountains while muttering "good martial arts masters".

"Want to eat?" Bai Ze sat by the tree root, and took out the two rice balls given by the village head just now from his arms: "If you want to eat, I will give you all?"

Ding swallowed his saliva, shook his head and said "No." But his eyes drifted to look in other directions, and he didn't look at the two rice balls again.

Bai Ze was amused, took his little hand and stuffed the leaves holding the two rice balls into his palm.

"Take it and eat it, it was originally here for you."

The child didn't refuse any more, and took a big bite right away, stuffing his mouth so that his cheeks were bulging like a little mouse. After chewing for a long time, he refused to swallow it, as if he was chewing the taste of every grain of rice.It's a blessing to eat face. If it wasn't for face... I don't know if it's because I'm too hungry.

Bai Ze resisted not reaching out to rub the child's lovely bulging soft cheeks, bent his body and propped his elbows on his knees, holding his chin with a smile and watching the little animal-like boy's every move.

To be honest, this was his first contact with a little boy like this.When I looked closely, I thought it was cute, but it was indeed a boy.This feeling is very fresh, Kunlun's peaceful life has not given him such a sense of freshness for a long time.

"Want something nice to drink?" Bai Ze took out the gourd from his waist, and the moment he uncorked the bottle, a burst of aroma came to his nostrils. It was a fragrance that Ding had never smelled in his life: "Don't drink too much, you will feel dizzy." oh."

Ding took the big gourd, held it in his hands and sniffed it close to the tip of his nose, then lightly licked the mouth of the bottle, took a sip and found it delicious, and unconsciously took a few more sips.Seeing that his face was completely red, Bai Ze screamed inwardly, and quickly pulled him from the back of the neck to stop the child from continuing to drink.

"Stop drinking, if you get drunk again, I have to take care of you."

"what?"

Unexpectedly, the kid raised his head, his eyes were clear as if he hadn't had a drink.If it wasn't for his reddened face and the smell of alcohol that betrayed him, no one would have noticed that what he had just drank was alcohol.It's terrible, he drank the wine for three meals a day like this, and he would get drunk if he drank a few more sips. This kid can actually drink a dozen or so sips.

"It's really delicious."

"That's right! This is my masterpiece, and I can't usually drink it."

When Bai Ze heard others praise the wine, he couldn't help smiling.After discussing with the Queen Mother of the West, this is brewed with Qiong berry and flat peach as the base, mixed with fairy fruit and nectar, and supplemented with water from Kunlun fairy spring.

"Ah, by the way, what's your name?"

"Man."

After getting some wine, the unfamiliar children were like lit firecrackers, and began to clatter and grab Bai Ze's cuff and ask questions.

"What about you? Where are you from? Where do you want to go? Why did you pass by such a remote village? Your clothes are so beautiful, and they look light and fluffy, just like a god."

Several questions were lost like a cannonball, and it was really hard to know where to start.

"Ah, although I haven't seen the gods, I heard adults discussing that many gods look similar to humans during the village sacrifices, and some of them live together, so it's hard to tell them apart."

Bai Ze smiled and said, "You little devil knows a lot."

"I'm Ding!"

Ding looked reluctant, and the anger of the child who had been stern since we met could be expressed smoothly on his face.

"Although I hate this name, people in the village told me that it means a servant. I don't hate being a servant, but they use this as a reason to laugh at me, and they use my status as an orphan to exclude me."

Do you hate being treated unfairly more than being lonely...?

"Indeed, it's impolite to be called by your name carefully. It's because I didn't pay attention, so I'm sorry."

Bai Ze laughed out loud, making one wonder how serious his words were.

He thought that in his hometown there was a legend that calling people's names would take the lives of monsters. Many monsters fled away when they saw him, and he felt quite funny.He does know a lot about casting spells and taking the lives and souls of people and demons, but it's just "knowledge" and has no practical plans.

"You haven't told me where you came from."

The little devil is very difficult to deal with.

"Well, I come from the far, far east, where there is endless knowledge, magnificent rivers and mountains that stretch as far as the eye can see, and many beautiful girls."

"Knowledge? Magnificent rivers and mountains? What is that?"

"Hmm...knowledge is, many things that you don't understand, you understand what you remember in your head. Magnificent rivers and mountains are endless mountains and endless rivers, and your heart will be filled with endless thoughts like this. Touched by the beauty.”

"Is that so... then when I grow up, can I see magnificent mountains and rivers and pursue endless knowledge when I leave here?"

Bai Ze froze for a moment, suddenly he didn't know how to answer this child whose life span was less than one month.For him, the reincarnation of life and death is a matter of course, but it is not the case for human beings, especially this tenacious child.

A human being tortured by illness once held his hand and said that it would be better to die than to live for the future. This kind of thinking may be negative, but it is not a kind of relief in this age, so it is difficult for him to judge that there is only one person left. Whether Yue Xingming's child is lucky or unlucky.

To put it bluntly, apart from Phoenix, no god has really experienced the pain of rebirth from Nirvana.Regarding the emptiness of "death", even if he has a thorough understanding of the wordless scriptures that comprehend the way of heaven, he still cannot empathize with it.

"Well... is Ding not interested in girls?"

Although it's too early to ask this, let's change the subject first!

"Girls?" Ding thought for a while, then shook his head, and replied with an uneasy expression, "If you're talking about the girls in the village...they often stab me with bone needles or hit me with wooden dolls, they don't like it very much. Woolen cloth."

"Maybe they are trying to get your attention, maybe some girls express their liking in a distorted way."

Moreover, this child is not ugly at all. Although he has a disheveled face, his face is often wrinkled together and looks very serious.But the flaws do not conceal the advantages, and he is still much more handsome than ordinary little boys.Not to mention that Ding also has favorable internal conditions such as articulate speech and agility.

If it wasn't for being an orphan and being an outsider, maybe he wouldn't be reduced to this point.

The reason why they are hostile is probably that the biggest problem is that the adults in the village deliberately exclude them. Children's behavior and opinions are easily influenced by adults.

"I don't think it's what you said. You can tell if you really hate me. You can't hide the hostility in your eyes." Ding shook his head, and immediately pierced his comforting words: "But thank you anyway."

Are today's children so precocious?Bai Ze looked down at the child, tilted his head and grinned.

"Will Ding hate them?" Bai Ze narrowed his eyes and stared at him with a scrutinizing gaze: "Just now you also said that I hate when they say you are an orphan and an outsider, they are hostile to you and even throw stones at you. "

In fact, he probably knew the answer without Ding's reply.

"I don't hate... It's not that I don't hate, I just think that instead of wasting time thinking about hating, it's better to dig more roots and fruits to satisfy our hunger."

"That's right, I think so. Compared with unrealistic things like "hate", food and clothing are the most important thing."

Bai Ze nodded with an appreciative smile, but even if Ding replied "I hate them so much, I wish I could kill them." Waiting for his unexpected answer, Bai Ze would probably have the same reaction.No matter what kind of emotion is new to him, because he has never had it himself.

Only by talking to others in this way can the emotional fluctuations transmitted from them allow the "feelings" that the gods seem to be deprived of by nature and never possessed to return to themselves temporarily.

At best, it is just curiosity about "knowledge".The "false" that is passed on and does not belong to itself will soon return to nothingness.

"Then Ding, for the sake of our fate..."

"What is 'fate'?"

Regarding this question, Bai Ze did not reply positively, but instead asked a more difficult question.

"Well...does Ding know what 'karma' is?"

This man... knows a lot of things that he has never heard of!Ding's eyes widened because of overflowing curiosity, shining brightly in the setting sun.

""cause and effect"?"

"Well, there is a so-called cause and effect in everything, and some people call it karma in our place. Karma is like a net, which is connected by causal lines one after another. It seems too difficult to explain. Let me give you an example."

Bai Ze opened his arms, hugged Ding into his arms and ruffled his hair wantonly.

"For example, I met you here is a kind of fate. So I met you here, it is absolutely not by chance, but there is a line called cause and effect that connects us."

"That...clothes...will get dirty."

"Why do you worry about things for me that I don't worry about at all? You're such a serious brat, just smile and come~嘿~~!"

Bai Ze used two fingers to hold the corner of Ding's mouth, and pulled it left and right twice. Unfortunately, after he let go, the kid returned to his original appearance, with an old-fashioned face that didn't match his age.

"Ah, by the way, it's not getting too early." The sun had sunk to the west before he knew it, and the coolness began to spread from the dark place: "Where does Ding Ping usually sleep?"

"There's a hidden little cave near here, where I usually sleep."

In that era, due to climate change, most tribes have left the semi-cave dwelling and chose to build some simple wooden buildings to live.Ding had no shelter in the village, so he looked for a cave nearby as a shelter.

"Is not It Cold?"

"It won't be cold if you light a fire. I have picked up some dry wood, not to mention there is hay on the ground. If you have no place to sleep today, would you like to sleep in my place?"

This man not only has a gorgeous appearance, but also knows a lot of things he doesn't know, far beyond the imagination of Ding who lives in this remote mountain village.Although the content is a bit difficult, the topic of cause and effect and fate just now is a bit beyond the scope of understanding.

But if possible, I would like to chat with him for a while longer.

I deeply remember what this person said and what he looked like, and one day I will leave here, like him, to explore the unsolved things in the world and seek the unknown mysteries.

"Okay, I also want to see what Ding's place looks like."

"Uh... it's cramped, and it's damp and dark without a fire... I don't think you'll like it."

"Is that so? But I haven't even gone yet, how does Ding know if I will like it or not?"

Ding bowed his head and walked quickly in front alone, and suddenly regretted why he was invited to stay overnight.He bit his lower lip, and the small M-shaped mouth was slightly distorted by the bite.He is used to sleeping on such a hard stone surface, but this luxuriously dressed person does not look like an existence that can sleep in a cave.

Humans really like to worry about things that others don't really care about.

Bai Ze unhurriedly followed Ding who was walking briskly behind him, he probably knew what the child was thinking, from worrying that their contact would stain the clothes when he hugged just now, even though he was born with a piece of wood Face, Dante probably belongs to the kind of "intimate" human being.

Such human beings are not bad, but they are usually a little too serious.

"Here we are, it's not far ahead." After walking for a while, Ding stopped not far away, turned to him and said, "I'll go in and tidy up first, you just wait outside."

"Don't you need help tidying up?"

"No, I'll fix it."

Didn't you say "no" but "no"?

What a serious child, and his attitude is much tougher than expected.If it were in the Kunlun Heaven Realm, such a rigorous and careful boy would definitely be promoted to a ritual officer or something, or a part of Luo Zhi's "rules of heaven"... Well, it is quite in line with the preferences of the Emperor of Heaven.
