Autumn is getting stronger, and the flowers on the other side are blooming.
Its beauty is breathtaking and mysterious; its posture is warm and public, light and graceful.
The setting sun is like a flame, making it even more brilliant and bright red. The evening wind suddenly picked up, and it swayed and bloomed leisurely, just like a beautiful firework.
"Hey, sister, don't run too far!" Liao Qinghuan was worried that Liao Mansha would stray into the depths of the flower field, so he took a few steps forward to hold him back.
"Sister, tell me, if all things have animism, then if this flower becomes a spirit, will it turn into a beautiful woman in red clothes like fire?" Liao Mansha asked as he touched the petals with his fingertips.
Liao Qing smiled happily but said nothing. If your faith is sincere, it may really have repercussions. However, looking at the world, how many people are favored by gods?
"Sister, there's something I've been curious about for a long time. Is my name... related to the flower of the other side?"
"Well, as you think." Liao Qinghuan stretched out his hand and gently took off the petals stuck between the silk threads of Liao Mansha. "My parents originally wanted to name you Qingyu. However, on the day I went to apply for the birth certificate, I also passed by Such a flower field on the other side. For some reason, you had to take away a Manzhushahua before you left. I looked at it and kept chanting 'Mansha' in my mouth, so..."
"What about yours? It's taken from 'The taste of the world is pure joy', right?"
Liao Qinghuan was silent. Qinghuan, that is, quiet and happy, is an attitude towards life. To be quiet but not lose joy, to be light but not lose color, this is her consistent pursuit in life.
Experience the taste of the world in pure joy, find the taste of pure joy in the world, and you will have a quiet and happy soul. No matter where you are, the joy will always be there - if the accident never happens.
"You two little sisters, are there any Taoist temples nearby?"
Hearing this, the Liao sisters turned back together.
I saw a heroic man standing in the wind on the path outside the flower field. Wearing a jazz hat and a windbreaker, the figure is even more flattering.
"Mom and dad said, don't talk to strangers casually!" Liao Mansha reacted first and tugged at the corner of his sister's clothes.
Liao Qinghuan smiled at her and greeted her, then faced the man: "I heard that your accent doesn't sound like Guangdong's plastic Mandarin at all. Are you not a local?"
"I'm Yin, a Hunan native from Xiangxi." He took off his hat and wanted to salute but suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, so he gave up. "I heard that Taoism was emerging in the Chaoshan area of Guangdong, so I came here to look for something. I don't want the mountains and ravines to overlap. , and got lost for a moment.”
"Can't you speak more plainly and understandably?!" Liao Mansha pouted dissatisfied.
"...This mountain is too deep. The signal is not good and the navigation fails. I am lost."
"So are you going to pay homage to me?"
Seeing that the man was confused, Liao Qinghuan quickly explained: "She is a local saying, which means to offer sacrifices to gods. But the objects of worship are not only Taoist gods, but also folk gods such as gods of heaven and earth. From the perspective of outsiders, , we are engaging in feudal superstition... Actually, it is not. It is more about piety and spiritual sustenance. As for the place you are looking for..." At the end, point out the direction.
"The vast world is vast and vast, and chance encounters arise due to fate. In this case, I will do a divination for you two for free."
"Brother, I see that you look very talented, but I didn't expect that you are actually a charlatan sorcerer?!" Liao Mansha exclaimed.
"It's not good to judge people by their appearance, little girl. However, intrigues are prevalent in today's world, and it's normal not to be understood." The man placed two blank red talismans in the palms of the two sisters respectively, "Just meditate on your birth date."
After hearing this, Sister Liao did as she was told. After a moment, a line of writing appeared on each of the two symbols.
Upon seeing this, the man performed a magic trick, and a porcelain cup filled with more than half of the tea appeared out of thin air in his hand. He took back the two red talismans, and the talismans spontaneously ignited with a flick of his hand. Sprinkle the embers evenly into the tea, and when they meet the water, they will dissolve and gradually form a picture.
Taking a closer look, they turned out to be... twin flowers of the other side.
The other side of spring and the other side of autumn are twins, dependent on each other but competing with each other. When one flower blooms, another will wither; when one flower dies, another will rot.
However, he also noticed that one flower was penetrated by a feather-like sharp arrow, and the connection between the twin flowers was severed, and the other remaining flower survived.
"Time spent together is precious, so cherish the moment." The man only revealed a few words, poured the tea and left for a long trip.
…
Soon, due to the needs of his parents' business, the family moved to Zhengzhou, Henan.
Taking this opportunity, Liao Mansha went to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengda University for a detailed body examination.
"After examination, the patient suffered from latent mental illness, which was severe." The doctor talked privately with the Liao parents. "Because it was discovered too late, it is difficult to cure...and these patients often cannot accept the reality of the disease. My suggestion is to control it with medication. , try not to irritate her."
In the next few years, Liao Mansha still fell ill from time to time. Her parents were worried about her and changed schools many times, but in the end she could not escape the fate of being treated as an alien, isolated and bullied.
The formation of an individual's personality is destined to be closely related to the social environment in which he or she lives.
The endless hurt and indifference around her finally distorted her psychology.
The care and warmth given by her relatives could not save her after all.
I still remember when I was a child, I also thought about pursuing a law major as my future ideal like my sister. It's a pity that fate has tricked people and made her experience all the evil in the world, so now she has gone in the opposite direction and even resigned herself to depravity.
She was so disgusted with campus life that she bravely became a hero with a blank paper during the high school entrance examination, thinking that she was extremely glorious.
After that, he ate and drank at home and waited for death for nearly a year. Occasionally, he heard his parents mention the mental hospital behind their back. It seemed that they had been plotting for a long time.
Home is a warm haven, but now it no longer has a place of its own? !
Her mental breakdown was instantaneous, this time more serious than before but calmer.
While my parents were asleep late at night, I quietly turned on the gas...
Two living lives were lost forever overnight, but she was saved by her sister when she was about to die, and she survived by luck.
…
At the end of the dream, Liao Mansha saw a woman in the sea of flowers on the other side of the sky.
The red clothes are dancing, and the long skirt is dragging to the ground. Her long hair is as red as fire, and is pulled into a ponytail reaching her waist by a Bianhua flower headdress. Its wings are as red as flames, and the edge feathers are as pure white as snow.
The woman looked back and saw a familiar face. Although she has a pair of red eyes, her eyes are as gentle as her sister Liao Qinghuan's.
"Sister, I have been looking for you for a long time... Why do you hide yourself so much that you don't want to see you?"
"I don't need you anymore, sister...or should I say, Yun?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...it's my fault that I couldn't protect you." There are times when the gods are beyond their power. Once the world's faith is lost, its miracles will be completely unable to perform.
"I don't want to hear anything more from you, that's it. Goodbye, useless god...or never again."
Liao Mansha turned around, abandoned all his faith, and threw himself into the embrace of the abyss.
She had extended her hand to Liao Mansha countless times, but this time the offer of salvation was cruelly rejected.
The sea of flowers on the other side withered in an instant, and the beauty ended with it.
The twin flowers are obsessed with each other forever.
One thought is difficult to achieve, two thoughts arise on their own, emotions are self-reliant, and hatred is difficult to achieve.
