Chapter 1021 The Demon Seed is Natural (55)
The end of the year is approaching, everything is quiet, and Qishan looks increasingly lonely and desolate. At the foot of the bare mountain, there is no trace of green.
The land is still dry and cracked, but once the first snowfall of winter falls, the earth will regain its vitality.
Zhou Ye, wearing new clothes made more than ten years ago, was sitting on the old tree at the head of the village, looking up at the sky above his head.
There was a vast expanse of blue, seemingly out of reach and endless.
"Xiao Tao, tell me, can people living up there see down below?"
Xiao Tao sat next to Zhou Ye, Ting Yan also looked at the vast sky, and then nodded.
"Yes."
"I don't like this sky."
Zhou Ye looked at the sky and said this silently.
Xiaotao looked sideways at her and continued.
"I don't like people standing on top of my head. You said that if you leak this day, I can see things beyond the sky, right?"
Xiao Tao looked at her quietly, her eyes calm.
"What if there is another level of heaven beyond this level?"
Zhou Ye frowned.
“Where did so many layers of heaven come from?”
"Who knows, isn't there a saying that there is a sky outside the sky, and there is someone outside the world? What you see is always what you can see. Where you can't see, even the sky is endless. Want to To stand at a higher place, you have to practice hard..."
Zhou Ye snorted.
"You know a lot."
Xiaotao's eyes darkened slightly, and she said slowly.
"It's not that I know too much, it's that you know too little. Do you want to go out and have a look?"
"Where to go?"
"Go to the outer sky and see another kind of scenery."
"I won't go." The little girl refused simply.
"Why?"
"I want to stay with grandpa."
"Xiaoye, everything has a limited lifespan. You have to think about it. Grandpa can't stay with you forever."
Zhou Ye was no longer interested in the next topic. He jumped down lightly and walked directly to the village after landing.
Xiaotao jumped down and followed her.
Looking at the back figure in front of him, the young man sighed helplessly.
This girl is dependent and paranoid about the people or things she likes.
She was so well protected by this village that the little girl still retained a bit of innocence. If she liked her, she would stay with her forever, but if she didn't, she would show a hint of cruelty and disdain.
Such children are indeed not suitable for life outside.
"What are you thinking about? Come on, the rice is getting cold."
Zhou Ye looked back and urged, seeing the deep thought that had not faded from Xiao Tao's face, he did not hesitate and continued walking forward.
The weather was extremely cold now. When he returned home, Zhou Ye immediately saw the figure waiting at the door. He was so hunched that he seemed to have been bent by the cold wind.
"Where have you been playing again? Running around with Xiao Tao all day long... Come in quickly, is it cold?"
As my grandfather gets older, he always talks about a lot of things. Saying it once is not enough, and he has to repeat it two or three times.
Zhou Ye listened silently, stuffing a mouthful of rice in his mouth, and would stop when the old man said enough.
——
Winters have been very cold in the past, but this year it has been extremely cold. No matter how many clothes you wear, you can't resist the cold wind that seeps in from outside.
Grandpa made a set of cotton-padded jackets for each of the two children. They were made of old materials and cotton. They were indeed very warm when worn.
He himself still wore the same old dark blue vest, and the cuffs had already been torn because it had not been washed several times over the years, so the color was still dark.
The old man always talks about the first snow in winter and counts the time every day.
