After Liu Yu finished his breakfast, he went to the market.
There were more people in the market than yesterday. Many people walked out of the house, looking at the faint blue sun, their faces were either blank or cursing, but most of the time they still did what they should do—she went to the stone statue of herself Turned around.
"God..."
Many people gathered around the stone statue, knelt down and worshiped, chanting words.
The prayers that often linger in my ears make the world noisy.
Liu Yu looked at the prostrate crowd and thought, even if she declared that she does not need to believe in God, the world does not seem to have changed much.
It's just that the golden sun has turned into a blue sun.
The statue of light became her—
Even so, she's not like a god.
Liu Yu had no interest in answering prayers.
A passerby murmured past her:
"God, please bless me to save a thousand rusos, my second daughter is fat and short, I'm afraid I won't be able to marry without a thousand rusos... You are a goddess, please bless my eldest daughter, she will give birth to a lovely and lively girl child… "
Liu Yu: ...
So, she is not only responsible for marriage, but also for having children
"Hello." She stopped the passerby, "I remember the new god announced that you don't have to believe in her."
Passers-by heard it.
Seeing that it was a young girl who stopped him, he ignored it and sighed: "... Oh, without God's blessing, this is simply unimaginable."
"Aren't you afraid of offending the New God?"
"Offensive? Oh, no, child, no one will refuse others' admiration and respect." The smile on the girl's face was very kind, and he was willing to say more, "It's better to believe than not... Ah, if my second daughter Just be as skinny as you are…”
He is a pity.
Liu Yu: ...
"thanks."
She thanked her with a smile, and the passers-by waved their hands and walked back in their patched clothes.
"Madara..."
[Why did it become so fast? ] The gray freckles on the shoulders are limp, [They used to believe in God so much, oh, you human beings really have a heart made of stone, not as good as us birds! ]
"A little uncomfortable?" Liu Yu touched the soft bird's head, and Ban Ban suddenly became quiet. She looked into the distance, "It's all for survival."
You can make me better, I believe in you.
But once you're gone...
In order to live, I must also abandon you.
It's that simple.
[If God knows, he must be very sad. ]
Scabbers flattened his mouth, and his black bean eyes became even smaller.
"No, he won't." Liu Yu looked into the distance, and his voice was very soft, "He doesn't care about these things... Whether he has it or not, it doesn't matter to him."
The side face of the girl under the sun was so white that it was almost transparent.
She is engulfed in the faint blue light of dreams, like fragile and fragile glass, but Ban Ban knows...she is not.
She is stone.
The world is destroyed, the planet is destroyed, and a stone that can wander alone.
[Then... where are you going now? ]
Scabbers flapped his wings.
"Go shopping." Shitou smiled brightly, "I have to prepare a present for my mother, her birthday is coming soon."
[Oh, presents? What are you going to prepare? ]
Banban's interest suddenly rose.
"I haven't figured it out yet, do you have any ideas?"
[insect! Take a bite of the worm that can emit juice! ]
"To shut up!"
Finally, buy back a cart of flowers.
People in Nathaniel like to use strong spices to cover up body odor, but the scent is too pungent, and people's noses don't work when they are in public... After a long time, it will be mixed with the smell of sweat, and it will ferment into a strange smell. And bad smell.
But the nobles are proud of light fragrance, they have enough conditions to take a bath every day—
Liu Yu wanted to make a perfume for Mrs. Fergus himself: It's not difficult, but it's a bit time-consuming.
She was in the library of the shrine, and when she got tired of reading magic spells, she would find some idle books to pass the time, and one of them mentioned the ratio of flower extracts.
[Oh Baby, you're biased! I haven't done it to God and Banban... ]
"No, I've made arnault, I've made cakes... and I've woven a blanket for you."
Liu Yu said.
Banban stopped talking.
For some reason, at this moment, she actually saw a trace of loneliness from its chubby body.
The loneliness was completely different from the usual one, it seemed like a lingering fragrance left behind after the flower bloomed and failed. It sniffed desperately, but could no longer find the original flower.
"time to go."
————
Time passed slowly and quickly.
In the past few days, many aristocrats or people from the temple who wanted to visit have come one after another. Liu Yu refused all of them, but this could not stop the changes in the surrounding environment.
People often wander around, and then pay respects from a distance—
What was even more unexpected was that all the houses near this street were bought with generous sums of money. In order to get closer to her, the big nobles who bought the property looked like they were black-eyed, as if they were getting closer to her. It's like being able to get a little airy.
But Mrs. Fergus was always happy, she came in and out, busy with the arrival of the birthday party.
Liu Yu only saw her at three meals.
Fortunately, the day before the birthday party, she finished the perfume.
Mrs. Fergus is suitable for a more feminine scent. She mixed a little bit of rose, bergamot, sage, petitgrain, etc., and finally formulated a more layered bitter rose scent. Like a woman full of stories and styles walking towards you slowly—
Compared with the thin and strong smell nowadays, it is lighter, more flattering, layered and advanced.
What's even more rare is that even in pungent perfumes, this smell will not be swallowed at all.
It's like a curling beauty, no one can ignore it—
Liu Yu put a lot of thought into it, and even went to other worlds to collect materials when preparing them. Some special materials were not available in Nathaniel.
She also pinched a matching ampoule for it. The gilt bottle body conforms to the current aesthetics. The cap is "pinched" into the shape of a rose. The bottle is inlaid with red agate. The whole bottle is very delicate and lovely.
Liu Yu never imagined that he would do something so meticulously for another person:
In the previous life, this was simply impossible.
The only one who can make her do her best is the client, and only Party A.
But in this world, it happened more than once.
"All right."
Liu Yu put away the perfume bottle, and Mrs. Fergus called from downstairs. Even after becoming the mother of "God", her demeanor and temper have not improved much. throaty woman.
"Come on!"
Liu Yu said without turning his head.
Today, Mrs. Fergus cooks for herself, and she wants to spend a birthday party with her exclusively for the mother and daughter—tomorrow is a party where many people are invited.
The attendants have all left, and the entire first floor has been completely refreshed.
From the stairs, it was tied with a beautiful ribbon. Mrs. Fergus was wearing a bright and gorgeous silk skirt and a high wig. Look carefully, and there was a thin layer of pearl powder on her face.
She was sitting upright at the round table in the dining room, which was covered with a rose-purple tablecloth.
On the table was a newly picked rose, and the gold-plated candlestick was lit, illuminating a pot of well-cooked vegetable soup, a piece of fried steak, a cheese snack, and a vegetable platter.
The aroma of food fills the tip of the nose, Mrs. Fergus is wearing red lipstick, sitting at the table and smiling at her—
She is as beautiful as an oil painting.
Just like what she saw in her dream.
Arrogant like a queen, gentle like a mother.
"Belia, come here!"
As soon as she waved at her, Liu Yu couldn't help laughing:
"Mother!"
The girl's footsteps are so light, and the skirt is slightly blooming, like a flower—
Banban squinted with black bean eyes, then turned his head with a "hum".
It squatted at the stairs like a sculpture, scratched its back with its wings from time to time, and glanced lazily at the entrance of the dining room.
Mrs. Fergus in the dining room laughed too.
She stood up, opened the chair for Liu Yu, and asked, "Today...how about some wine?"
"OK."
Of course Liu Yu would not refuse her.
"What would you like to drink, mother?"
"You wait."
Mrs. Fergus got up mysteriously, and went to the kitchen to get a porcelain pot. The porcelain pot was obviously old, and the dark paint was worn away.
"Do you remember? When your father passed away, apart from leaving us this house, this jar of wine was the only one left. This is the wine he has kept for many years. He said that before you get married, he must have a good time with you here. Have a drink...you are his most precious daughter, if he hadn't been sick...your father was the most refined and handsome nobleman in the entire city-state of Solo before he got sick. I can play the harmonica with leaves, weave cute grasshoppers... and I can even braid your hair."
Mrs. Fergus spoke of the late Mr. Fergus like a shy maiden.
Those blue eyes were so shiny, with a little bit of moist water.
Facing such a pair of eyes, Liu Yu dodged his eyes in embarrassment:
There has never been a moment like this, which makes her feel strongly that she is a despicable thief, enjoying the affection that does not belong to her...
"However, you are a god now. Even if you want to get married, I'm afraid my mother won't be able to wait for this day. And this wine... should have been opened before. Guess what your father planned to say?"
Mrs. Fergus poured them both glasses of wine.
"... what did he want to say?"
"Your father wanted to say," said Mrs. Fergus, looking at her tenderly, as if to touch her soul, "'Thank you, Belle, for being born, and for your existence, to him the best thing in the world. '."
Liu Yu's eyes suddenly became wet.
"Mother, I..."
An impulse forced her to open her mouth, wanting to tell the other party everything...
But when she saw the gentle eyes of Mrs. Fergus, she retreated again.
Let's wait a while.
After a while, let her be greedy for such family affection for a while...
"Come on, drink."
She raised the glass in her hand.
The beautiful enamel cups touched together and made a crisp sound.
"drink wine!"
Mrs. Fergus drank it down.
The two drank silently, and she served her soup. The mixture of borscht leaves, shiitake mushrooms and milk gave off a charming aroma.
She drank two big bowls.
I also ate some steak, which was a bit old, but Liu Yu still ate it all.
The two chatted a lot, and Liu Yu also talked about Leslie, God, and everything in the Jingu.
"you love him."
Mrs. Fergus said with absolute certainty.
Liu Yu smiled, she drank too much, her eyes were as bright as stars in the sky, and added:
"once."
"Why once? Such a man, if my mother was twenty years younger, she would also be infatuated with it."
Mrs. Fergus still remembered how handsome and powerful the young man was when they met for the first time—this is a charm that no woman can resist.
"He killed me." Liu Yu giggled, "He imprisoned me, watched me escape, and tried to kill me..."
With a hint of stubbornness, the girl told me seriously:
"For people outside, I don't care what they do..."
She put on a nonchalant look, "But the person I love, he must, must, must put me first."
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Mrs. Fergus said sadly, "Even when your father was most obsessed with me... If I did something that would insult the reputation of the Fergus family, he would mercilessly drive me out of the house .”
"I know, I know, it's hard..."
The girl propped her chin, and kept nodding her head, her cheeks were rosy pink from the drunkenness, and she was charmingly naive.
She waved her hand:
"So, I don't love him anymore."
She clutched her heart: "Love is too bitter... I, I don't want to love."
"... Your father used to like dramas very much. When he was still able to stand up, he often took me to watch... One of them, he watched it more than a dozen times, and every time he watched it, he would cry... My mother didn't understand it before, but later Got it, I still remember the name of the play, it's called "The Lonely Traveler"... There is a line in it," Mrs. Fergus sang in a frustrating tone, "...the long night swallows everything. I'm just a blind man, I walked on the lonely road for a long time, but one day, I saw the dawn, and I was ecstatic. But the dawn was gone in a flash, and the darkness took over everything... "
"I am a blind man, I wish I were a blind man... I walk on a lonely road, I wish I never saw the light, let the darkness be just darkness, let the barrenness be barren forever... But now, I have seen the light... I will never Can't go back... I'm blind, but I'm full of poetry, I've seen the colors of the sky, I've smelled the wind..."
"Belle," she called softly, "you've seen and had love."
"Then you are no longer blind."
I don't know why, but with a very flat tone, the tears that Liu Yu didn't shed just now fell down.
Really useless.
she said.
"Don't resist love anymore, love the next person."
said Mrs. Fergus.
Liu Yu covered his face:
"me… "
She felt that she was getting better little by little.
In those barren places, green grass began to grow and fresh flowers bloomed.
