Life and death. What if you know that after death, you will be reborn again. You don't know who you will be in your next life, but you are sure you can live from the beginning.
What will be your actions in this life? You can do whatever you want, you can do whatever you want, because in fact the actions that can affect your future life are not important.
The people around you are also not important, because in fact they are just fellow travelers. After death, you will not meet with them again, which means that their feelings are not important. Many times dying and being reborn again, it is easy to lose the taste for life. Everything that you eat, you have already eaten once, everything that you experience you experienced once.
It's lonely. You have no one to share your emotions and memories with. If there is no one who is important to you, then what is the point of being reborn? It's like if you are from the same room with strangers, you go into another room. Different faces, but the same content. You go on and on, room after room. How great it would be if someone called you, someone you know, who remembers and knows you. Isn't it great to be with someone close? When there is someone close to your heart, then you want to live, right? Who in the end remembers the time spent without a loved one? We only remember the time we were together, even if it was a bad time at times. Even if that person wasn't always there, as long as they were in your heart, you weren't truly alone.
Therefore, they have a special relationship to death, a special relationship to the world around them and, of course, a special relationship to each other.
Every time after death, they strive to find each other, obviously not realizing it, if they cannot find or find out, they will lead a normal life and then start all over again, not remembering anything about their past life. If they can meet and get to know each other, then the memory of past lives will return to them and they will be able to gain new experience and spend time together. These are their sincere desires. Their sincere promises.
“Husband… husband.. are you sleeping?” Xiaoxiao slapped the sleeping Ling Fang's face.
“No Xiaoxiao, I haven’t slept in a long time,” I muttered when I woke up.
“That's how. That's good, it's almost 5 am, you should go for a run,” she whispered.
“Did you wake up so early to see me off? Xiaoxiao… you are so kind.” I wanted to reach out my hand to her.
“No, I want to go with you…” she shook her head.
"Want to go with me? But I run 10 kilometers every day… it will be hard for you around me.”
“It's okay, I'm ready for such sacrifices, I'm your wife,” she smiled.
“Okay, go get dressed, I’ll wash my face and go downstairs.”
Turning off the alarm clock on my phone in advance, I yawned and went to get ready.
Xiaoxiao confidently stood in front of the door and warmed up. I took her hand and walked to the gate.
We ran, I ran slowly so that Xiaoxiao would not fall behind, after about 500 meters, she was exhausted.
“My husband, I'm tired, I can't run anymore,” she said plaintively.
"Let's take a break and run further."
“No, you have to keep running, you can’t rest, otherwise it won’t be training.”
“But, I can't leave you here,” I said.
"I know. Therefore, you will carry me.” Xiaoxiao lit up. “Come on, sit down, I'll climb on your back. Don’t worry, I’m not heavy, I keep my figure.”
I sat down and she climbed on my back. There is no point in arguing, the training still needs to be completed.
She grabbed my neck and I supported her legs and ran.
“Husband, you must run, be careful not to shake me. You have to run as if sneaking on a chick into the bedroom of a sleeping wife. Husband supporting me with your arms, you can't help yourself with them while running, and this kind of running will strengthen your legs and make you stronger in the future… Hehehe,” she laughed.
“Husband, the lazy fox did not want to run with you in the morning. She said that if she gets up early, her skin will deteriorate, and her ass will become smaller from physical exertion.”
Thinking of Lee Bo Na's butt, I thought of peaches.
Having reached the finish line, I stopped in the park and continued my training, push-ups on the fingers, swinging the press, and after practicing punches. Xiaoxiao sat on a bench and drank water. Seeing that I was finishing training, she called me: “My husband, I was cold, let's go home.” Along the Way, she would point her finger at the various foods to be bought.
“Husband, I want white peaches, otherwise I won't grow up,” she said looking into my eyes.
"Lies! She grows well without them,” I thought to myself.
“Good,” I nodded.
This is not the first time she has asked for them, especially since we have two days off and do not have to go to school.
When I got home, I went to take a shower. When I came down, Xiaoxiao and Li Bo Na were already eating.
“Oppa good morning”
"Did you wake up yet."
“Yes, I smelled food and came to eat together,” she smiled.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
“Xiaoxiao wants white peaches, let's go get them,” I said while eating.
She looked at Xiaoxiao and nodded her head, “Okay, it’s still boring here. I'll call a car."
Once in the car, we went first to buy things for the trip. Tent, sleeping bags and some food and camping utensils. We were sitting together in the back seat. Me, Xiaoxiao, and Li Bo Na, the driver sat in front silently.
Passing by a shop selling alcohol, I asked to be stopped, quickly leaving, I took a bottle of Scotch whiskey. We got into the car and drove out of town.
They knew that I liked wine more and realized that this bottle was not for me.
We drove for 4 hours and stopped in some village. In principle, the place is not important, we just needed horses. We rented three horses, I rode with Xiaoxiao, the other one was Li Bo Na, and the third one was loaded with backpacks.
The driver stayed to wait for us, he was warned that we would not be there for a day or two.
Xiaoxiao sat sideways in front of me, snuggling up to me, “Husband, I haven't ridden a horse in a long time,” she said happily.
“Lucky bird…” - said the fox looking ahead.
We slowly rode horses, only the sound of horseshoes was heard on the gravel, I carefully looked at the road, we turned over the hill and the gravel changed to a yellow brick road. A few small trees grew along the road. We silently drove forward, around the next turn the brick road turned into stone tiles. Ahead was a small town. Approaching the city, our city clothes changed to a leather camisole, over which was put on a cape with a high fur collar on the belt, a leather belt and long leather boots were fastened. Li Bo Na and I were dressed the same, Xiaoxiao was wearing a small fur coat and small fur boots. Stopping near the tavern, I tied the horses and we went inside. Once inside, we were immersed in the smell of food, tobacco and sweat. Seeing a free table at the end of the room, we sat down and ordered. Two mugs of wine, one milk, two stews with potatoes, one with fish. I tore the bread in which there were pieces of fruit.
Watered down wine, paired very well with the meat and genuinely enjoyed the meal. After a while, the innkeeper came up, rubbing his hands on his apron, he asked us in a foreign language if everything was fine.
“Yes,” I nodded. - “Why do you have so many people today?”
“Today is the carnival, it has been a little over 1000 years since the death of the Demon Lord, and we celebrate this day of victory over evil every year.”
“That's how! Then we should definitely embrace the celebration in this event!” I said happily.
“And I, I want too!” Xiaoxiao's face beamed.
Li Bo Na silently continued to finish her fish as if it was a special ritual for her.
Don't get me wrong, fish is not her favorite food. She says that she likes to eat whole food, she can eat fish, small hare or chicken. She has such a habit, the victim must be eaten completely, so she does not like to eat the meat of large animals. Although this rule does not apply to meat buns, burgers, pizza, bacon. These are complex rules, and if you start thinking hard, you can get confused, I quickly drove these thoughts out of my head.
“Husband, husband we must go!!!” Xiaoxiao's emotions overflowed and she almost jumped for joy.
“Husband, I want to be in the same form, I will dance! Husband, husband, let's go soon,” she pulled me by the hand.
Walking up to the bar, I paid the innkeeper with some local currency notes. He asked if we needed a room for the night, I shook my head. I have sleeping bags, I don't want to sleep in this city, I want to sleep at home.
Leaving the doors of the tavern, the street was already beginning to get dark, but the city was brightly lit, oil lanterns on poles. I hugged Xiaoxiao to me, covered him with a cloak, and put it away again. Instead of Xiaoxiao, there was a girl in her 20s with thick white hair in a thick braid and big blue eyes. Under a white cloak with a fox collar, one could see a white camisole tightly fitting a feminine figure.
“Long time no see my Lord!” she said happily, bowing.
“Stop it,” I tugged on her arm.
“Today we will dance joyfully?” Xiaoxiao asked.
“Yes, this holiday is in honor of us, how can we not take part?” I nodded smiling.
From under the raincoat, I took out three masks that would cover my face halfway. A fox mask, an owl mask, and a black mask for me, which was decorated with a pair of black horns. Wearing masks, we moved along the road along the streets.
I bought fried meat on sticks and wine, today I was thirsty, I drank with Li Bo Na. Xiaoxiao doesn't need alcohol, because of her hormones and environment, she laughed happily all the time.
We reached the center of the city, where a large fire was burning from neatly stacked logs. There were food and snacks on the tables, people sang cheerfully and music played. Funny melodies were coming out of pipes and flutes, several men were holding instruments resembling a guitar, only more like a barrel, the sound was somewhat reminiscent of a bass guitar. Parents fed their children, old people sat on the sidelines, young people danced merrily around the fire.
I took the two girls by the arms and led them to dance. This dance is quite simple, the girls clasping their hands with their elbows are circling around me, first in one direction, then in the other, towards the hands of the clock, at this time I seem to be running in place, turning with them. After unhooking hands, clap in hands, turn to one hand clap turn to another hand clap. Because of the fast dance, alcohol broke out in the blood. The fox made a couple of turns and pressed her back tightly against me, in an instant I felt all the curves of her body, the smell of her hair clouded my mind, my breath was taken away from the wave of excitement, the rapid beating of the heart drowned out the sounds of music. I put my hands on her stomach and looked into her eyes.
"Heh," she chuckled.
“Damn fox demon,” I thought to myself, turning away, I saw how a performance was playing somewhere nearby.
Having dragged the girls behind us, we took empty seats and began to watch the performance. The performance was dedicated to the battle with the Demon Lord.
“The demon lord cowardly fled with his army, the brave knight Menhold pursued him for several days, at the end defeating the entire demonic army, he cut off the head of the cowardly Lord and so good defeated evil.” the narrator spoke proudly from the stage as the crowd listened in rapt attention.
“Pffff… Pffff… Hahaha!!! Hahahaha!!!” I laughed.
"Hahahaha" - I laughed out loud, my breath was taken away from laughter, my stomach muscles began to hurt.
The actors on the stage stopped their performance and the crowd of spectators turned in my direction.
“Hahahahaha,” I was really laughing at that moment.
“Wow… I haven’t laughed like this in a long time… and then…. and then good conquered evil… haha,” I giggled a couple more times, wiping tears from the corners of my eyes.
Taking a deep breath, I shouted, “What nonsense! The Lord never wanted war! She wanted the demon race to peacefully coexist with humans! They weren't evil! They differed from you in appearance, but they were a peaceful settlement, they also had children, wives and mothers. You... you just destroyed a separate race, because of your prejudices. I raise this glass for you obedient sheep, this is not a day of victory, this is a day of shame,” after drinking wine, I threw the glass into the crowd.
Anger rolled over me, I wanted to drive the truth into their stupid heads so that they would understand how everything really was. Looking at children clinging to their parents. I exhaled, “Haaa, it doesn’t matter now.” Looking around the crowd, I shouted, “Get me out of here. Do you hear? Shadow demon, get me out of here! Live!”
A demon emerged from the shadows, as if the shadows were intertwined together, becoming so thick that they resembled black water. Standing on one knee, he respectfully bowed his head, "My Lord."
Send me to the tavern, I need my horses. The demon opened a portal, we stepped into it and ended up at the tavern.
“We'll talk tomorrow,” I said looking at him.
The three of us mounted horses at night and drove away from the city.
