In the cycle of reincarnation.

Qingshui River is winding, turning left and right, not knowing where it comes from, and it leads to all directions. Perhaps this river is called other names elsewhere, but in short, everything is a mystery.

But for the people living here, it is Qingshui River.

One place of water and land nourishes the other people, a river, a mountain, and a temple, at some point, carries all the culture of a place. Through the traces of this thing, we can go back to the long history.

When a person is born, he will inevitably make a mark on this place. Perhaps he may feel inferior because of his youth and ignorance, because he is behind the scenes where he takes action. However, after reaching a certain age, he will dream back to the original place every night.

Qingshui Village is named after it is built by the Qingshui River. Among these ten miles and eight villages, it is just an ordinary small village.

There are very few people in the village. Because a few capable people came out in the village a few years ago, they took out many of the villages, saying that they were going to a big city a hundred miles away.

Most of the people who stayed in the village were elderly people who were unwilling to leave their hometowns. Or there were various reasons. Jiujiu and Xiaomeng did not go out because they had to take care of their elderly people.

However, those who go out are still nostalgic and respect the elderly. They come back every Qingming Festival, one is to worship ancestors, and the other is to bring back some money and materials to those who stay in their hometown.

"Oh, Jiuer, are you talking about the city where Xiaohu and the others are going to be fun? Last time they came back, I heard from him that there are not only all kinds of delicious food and fun, but also fairies in the sky!" Zhang Meng, fifteen-year-old, said to Jiujiu beside him while washing clothes by the river, with her big eyes shining and an expression of extreme yearning on her face.

"You said, what exactly do immortals look like? Do they have wings like birds? Well...that's like this?"

Zhang Meng, wearing a light pink dress, put down the blue clothes she was washing in her hand, stood up, opened her hands, and then ran back and forth like a simulated bird.

"How do I know what an immortal looks like? I have never seen it before, but..." Jiujiu said with a smile as she looked at the energetic look of her best friend in front of her.

"But what?" Mengmeng asked curiously when she saw Jiujiu stopping her words.

"But the immortal will not be like you."

"Why?"

"Because... you are too stupid!"

"You are just stunned! Where am I? " Zhang Meng protested loudly.

"This is what I said by myself, it is what your grandfather said." Jiujiu laughed a few times, then coughed gently, and looked like an old man: "Oh, my cute family is really stupid and stupid. I don't know if I can get married in the future. Xiaolong, can you see if I can..."

"Ah, stop talking!"

Xiaomeng's face was flushed and she shouted loudly, making a sharp voice unique to the girl, forcibly interrupting Jiujiu.

Jiujiu is imitating now. The scene when Brother Zhang Long came back and drank with Xiao Meng's grandfather and his grandfather, Zhang Meng's grandfather promoted his granddaughter to Brother Zhang Long.

"Mengmeng, where are you going? Haven't you finished washing yet?"

Seeing the girl bulging her mouth and leaving angrily, Jiujiu asked quickly.

"I'm angry, I won't wash it anymore!"

Looking at Zhang Meng's back, "I'm very angry, the kind that can't be coaxed well", he could only shake his head helplessly.

Well, anyway, there are only three left for the two of them, so let’s wash it yourself. Who told me to pick up any pot without opening any pot? I know Mengmeng is interested in Brother Zhang Long and still says that.

Deserve it!

"But, is the immortal? What is that?"

While washing, Jiujiu was thinking about it. She also became very interested in the problems left by Mengmeng.

She had heard her grandfather and the others say that immortals are all handsome and beautiful. They step on a flying and glowing sword when they go out, and are surrounded by lightning or several big fireballs... It is very cool.

Jiujiu shook her head violently. In her mind, what appeared now was Zhang Meng wearing a black Taoist robe and a wooden sword. She was surrounded by several big fireballs. She laughed to the sky and went out. As a result, she was not only burned by the fireballs to her clothes and hair, but also looked stupid when she fell from the sword.

"No, no...I'm thinking too much."

Jiujiu cut off the unlucky thoughts in her heart and continued to wash clothes. It is better to be a down-to-earth person. She is not allowed to help her wash clothes and will not give her food to her.

"Besides, this village is so remote that no dead people are seen, where does the immortal come from?"

I have to say that sometimes I can't say anything randomly. Just as Jiujiu finished speaking, a black figure suddenly floated over from the upper reaches of the river. At first, Jiujiu thought it was just a piece of black wood and didn't care too much, but as it slowly approached, Jiujiu found something was wrong.

The black shadow was getting closer and Jiujiu finally saw clearly what it was.

It doesn't matter if you don't think it's right, you're shocked when you see it.

That black thing turned out to be a...person!

"Ah!" Jiujiu, who had never seen a dead person and lived in peace since childhood, was immediately frightened and panicked. She sat on the ground, then turned around and rolled and ran away.

"It's dead! It's dead!"

Halfway through the run, Mengmeng, who had left angry before, hurriedly ran over, holding a curved wooden stick in her hand.

"Jiujiu, what's going on!"

Seeing Jiujiu's panic, she became nervous, but she did not escape, but ran to Jiujiu and acted on alert.

"I, I'm fine, then, over there..." Jiujiu pointed to the direction of the river and couldn't help but get angry.

"Over there? In the river?"

"Well, a dead person suddenly floated down from the river."

"There are dead people in the river? There are no villages upstream for hundreds of miles, so how can there be dead people?" Zhang Meng breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was not someone who wanted to hurt Jiujiu, and at the same time she was thinking about why there were dead people in the river.

Because from this river, there are endless mountains within hundreds of miles, with only wild animals and monsters inside, and there are no human villages at all.

Could it be the one who went into the mountains to hunt?

"Let's go and have a look." This girl named Zhang Meng was obviously bolder and proposed the decision to go and have a look.

"But, but..."

"It's nothing. If you are afraid, then go and find grandpa and the others. I'll go and take a look first."

After Zhang Meng finished speaking, she took a big step to the shooting star without waiting for Jiujiu to answer.

Jiujiu looked at her back as she was leaving, then at her house not far away, closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet.

Just run home.

"Grandpa, grandpa, there are dead people."

...

Less than a stick of incense, a group of people gathered by the river.

"This guy is quite handsome, what a pity!" An old woman sighed at the boy lying flat on the shore.

For them who have been buried in half, they have never seen anything in their lives. It is just a dead person, so how can they be afraid?

Maybe in the near future, I will do this too.

"Yes, it's too young." An old man echoed: "What's the matter with this? Ying Nian."

"die young."

"Yes, I just died young. What a pity. Depending on my age, I should be seventy-eight years old, and I am about the same age as my grandson."

"But we have to report to the official immediately." Someone suggested what we should do most at this moment. After all, the court has a strict legal system for the dead.

"Let a few people go to the city and go to find Zhang Yi and the others first. They will work as employees in the yamen..."

...

Plop, plop...

Just as these people were discussing how to solve the corpse, a heartbeat suddenly came from the corpse.
