【Lotus Root Cake】Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy, Salty

After returning to Chentangguan, Nezha and Sang Rou lived in a nearby fishing village. Although the fishing village no longer fished, it was still possible to live there.

I heard from the old people in the village that there used to be a sea near the fishing village.It's just that the third son of Li Jing, the former general soldier of Chentangguan, angered the Dragon King of the East China Sea. The Dragon King brought a huge wave to flood Chentangguan. The flood was a hundred miles away, and this completely changed the current life of the fishing village.

"Grandpa, do you hate the third prince of the Li family?"

Sitting on the stool and listening to the story boringly, Nezha actually doesn't quite understand what a feat it is to retreat a hundred miles to the sea. In his opinion, that is all in the past.

"My father had seen him before." Stroking his beard, the old man lowered his head and sighed: "At that time, Chentangguan was much more prosperous than this society. Li Zongbing and his wife were very good people. Under their governance, There are no monsters or villains here, everyone is harmonious and beautiful, except for the third prince of the Li family, who was not born because he was pregnant for three years, and everyone said he was a monster, so my father hated him since he was a child."

"and after?"

"Later, I don't know later. After all, the vicissitudes of life have changed in a hundred years. At that time, Li Zongbing became Gongyang Zongbing. Now there is no tide outside Chentang Pass. Although those monsters appear from time to time, they are no longer there. It will hurt people a lot.”

In this world, human beings are just a drop in the ocean, a mayfly shaking a pillar, so what can there be after?

Nezha and Sangrou lived in the fishing village for ten years. Because Sangrou's appearance did not change, they moved out of the fishing village after ten years. In Sang Rou's view, the way the other party looks at the East China Sea with a thatch in his mouth every day still has the beauty of a handsome boy, but it's a pity that Nezha opens his mouth, and this feeling is defeated.

Before leaving, Nezha used another piece of lotus flower. When Ao Bing came, his body was still stained with blood. Nezha stood in front of him and stared at him for a long time, until Ao Bing raised his sleeve to cover his cough. The boy who was about the same height as the other party spoke.

"I'm leaving."

"where to?"

"Go south into the Han River."

"Be careful on the road."

Blinking and wandering for a moment, Nezha scratched his head and grinned after Ao Bing raised his eyes and looked at him strangely.

"Can I hug you?"

"Why?"

"Because my parents abandoned me before I was sensible, so I don't remember my birth or my name. Today is the day I got my name. I regard it as my birthday. A name has a meaning, just like you saved me and left me this life."

Looking at Nezha who had grown up in front of him with cold eyes, Ao Bing opened his mouth several times to cry out, but finally endured it. He squeezed his palms to force down the fishy sweetness in his throat, then raised his lips and spread his hands.

Seeing this, Nezha stepped forward excitedly, and then hugged him cautiously.

That ray of cold fragrance passed through his nose and went straight into his heart. He thought that he might not be able to smell anything else in his life.

"I'm leaving, Ao Bing."

There is a spirit in people's words, and everything is in spring. The moment Nezha called out his name, Ao Bing hugged him back with his arms tightly. His drooping forehead rested on Nezha's shoulder. He opened his mouth and gasped a few times. , but couldn't speak.

- Don't go, don't go, don't go...

- Don't leave me alone...

——The East China Sea is too cold, too cold, Nezha...

"Immortal, what's wrong with you?"

Being hugged by the other party, Nezha blushed, even a little shy, but when he spoke again, Ao Bing woke up instantly, backed away, and fled in a panic It was a place where he was in a state of turmoil.
