Le Xianghui recalled those days. Although he didn't have the idea of ??committing suicide at that time, he had the idea of ??giving up and drifting with the flow.
Without Lin Yao, it would be impossible for him to cheer up like he is now.
Le Xianghui glanced at the little woman sitting in the passenger seat, and his heart was full of happiness.
"Xiao Yao, you are really my lucky little wife."
Lin Yao's face became hot when he was provoked by the man's cloyingly sweet confession. He didn't know where to look, so he could only turn his head and look out the window, pretending not to care.
Le Xianghui easily saw Lin Yao's bright red face from the car window, smiled to himself, stopped teasing her, and concentrated on driving.
**
The advantage of traveling by car is that you can enjoy the scenery along the way. Le Xianghui is not familiar with the roads in h, so he follows the route indicated by the navigation.
If there are any novel or quiet places on the road, Lin Yao will ask to stop and take pictures, and Le Xianghui naturally obeys all her arrangements without complaint.
So, when the two passed by a small temple full of incense, they also stopped to join in the fun.
When I looked at the three gold-plated characters "Kirin Temple" written on the plaque in front of the temple, I realized that what was worshiped in this small temple was not gods and Buddhas, but spirit beasts.
Lin invited Miaozhu to ask about it. There are not too many rules in this small temple. As long as the flash is not turned on, it is allowed to take pictures.
So Lin Yao took out his digital camera and took pictures of some murals and stone statues in the temple.
Among them, Lin Yao found some strange things. For example, the people who come to the temple to offer incense and worship are all pairs of men and women. All the unicorns in the book have only one horn on the right.
Lin Yao was taking pictures, while Le Xianghui was looking at some auspicious pendants sold in the temple.
When he was in country m, Lin Yao had given him a divine bird amulet, and he wanted to give her one in return.
The stalls are filled with various auspicious ornaments related to unicorns, such as unicorn locks, unicorn jade pendants, unicorn ornaments, unicorn jade plaques and so on.
Seeing that Le Xianghui was picking out accessories, Lin You was a little curious, so he also stepped forward to check. The dazzling array of unicorn accessories is overwhelming.
Ah Xiang is also interested in these things?
Lin Yao was surprised, and hoped that this straight man would not just buy a bunch of unicorns and carve them back.
Just at this moment, the old woman who set up the stall saw Lin Yao and Le Xianghui, handsome men and beautiful women, and they were discussing something about the unicorn jewelry from time to time, and they suddenly smiled.
"Are you two seeking a child or praying for the child?"
When Lin Yao heard it, he was at a loss and quickly denied it: "No, we are not"
Seeing that Lin Yao blushed, and seeing that the two of them had no children with them, the old woman realized, "That's to ask for a child. Don't be shy, the couples who come to this Qilin Temple are all here to ask for a child." Yes. You two might as well buy this unicorn lock and take it back. It has the meaning of begging the unicorn to send a child, and when the child is born, wear it on the child, and it can also bless the child with a long life."
It was only then that Lin Yao came to his senses. No wonder the people who came here were all couples, and they all came to ask for a child. He was so ashamed that he wanted to shrink behind Le Xianghui.
When Le Xianghui heard the words, he also put back the unicorn jade carving in his hand with some embarrassment.
He promised Lin Yao that he would not marry and have children, so he gave her the unicorn at this time, fearing that the little woman would misunderstand his intentions.
He patted Lin Yao's shoulder lightly, and explained in a low voice: "I don't know, don't think too much"
Seeing that he was more nervous than himself, Lin Yao ignored the embarrassment, took a pair of unicorn jade pendants, and signaled to Le Xianghui: "Ah Xiang, I want this, pay for it."
Giving a gift is just a good wish, it doesn't mean it will come true, Lin Yao thought that he still couldn't deny the man's chance to perform.
Le Xianghui blinked at the little woman, and Lin Yao replied with a blink of an eye. In the end, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Le Xianghui happily took out the money.
While receiving the cash, the old lady said auspicious words of blessing, most of which were words such as early birth of a precious son and full of children and grandchildren, which made the two young people blush again.
Seeing the shyness of the two, the old lady guessed that they were probably new couples, so she didn't joke too much, and gave them a pair of auspicious ropes.
"By the way, grandma, do you know why all the unicorns in this temple have only one horn?"
Another question that troubled Lin Yao finally had the hope of being answered. Seeing that the two young men were kind, the old woman opened up the chatterbox.
"I also learned from the stories handed down by the older generation. It is said that??In the age of mythology, the Creator created many powerful and mysterious creatures, including a unicorn with three horns. "
"The age of mythology ended, the sky fell apart, the triangular unicorn and other powerful creatures were cursed to save the world, their bodies were torn apart, and finally turned into three unicorns each with a left horn, a right horn and a front horn. They inherited the symbolic unicorn respectively. The three powers of rebirth, new birth, and regeneration of divine power."
"And what is enshrined in this temple is the right-horned unicorn with the ability to regenerate. As long as you sincerely pray to the right-horned unicorn, you will be able to have a successful child. That's how it came about."
After listening to the fairy tale of the old woman, Lin Yao found it novel. He guessed that it might be because Yun province deviated from the mainland of country H, so it is not impossible that different myths spread.
She kept this story in her heart, and thought about including it in her manuscript if possible.
She has recorded foreign folk culture for several years, but she knows little about some local folk customs of the motherland, so she can take this opportunity to add more knowledge.
Seeing the seriousness of the little woman, Le Xianghui knew that she had an occupational disease, so he didn't bother her and asked her to take good records.
After Lin Yao finished talking with the old woman, the two walked around the Qilin Temple for a while.
Lin Yao noticed a mural depicting people playing with children in their arms, while the unicorn beside him had tears in his eyes.
"Strange, is someone graffiti as a prank?"
Lin Yao was a little depressed, and did not expect to encounter such a scene of cultural relics being destroyed.
"It's not a prank. The name of this painting is originally called "The Tears of the Kirin."
Lin Yao was taken aback when a stranger's voice suddenly came from beside him.
Looking up, I saw that the place where Le Xianghui was standing is now a young man wearing a white fleece iron gray hooded trench coat and a newsboy cap of the same color.
The brim of his hat was pulled down so low that Lin Yao couldn't see his face clearly.
His voice is neutral. If it weren't for the fact that he had a flat chest on his chest and an Adam's apple on his neck, Lin Yaozhen wouldn't be able to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
"Kirin's tears?"
This person seemed to know what the painting wanted to express, so Lin Yao naturally would not miss this opportunity to ask.
"People think that Qilin's tears are tears of relief from seeing the happiness of human families, which is really wrong."
"Kirin is a benevolent and auspicious beast that responds to human requests. Whether human beings can produce children and continue their offspring is only a matter of time and probability, but if people who are destined to have no children want children, how do you think Kirin will help them?"
The young man turned his head to look at Lin Yao, only then did Lin Yao realize that the pupils of this man were light blue.
It is obvious that the facial features look like people from H country, could it be that they are of mixed race?
The appearance of the young man is as male and female as his voice, and his skin is very fair. This is the first time Lin Yao has seen a person from H country who is whiter than Le Xianghui.
"How can I help?" Lin Yao blinked his eyes wide, waiting for the young man to reveal the answer. Those who are destined to have no children are those infertile couples, "I can't cast a magic spell to let them have children, right?"
The young man took a meaningful look at Lin Yao, and turned his gaze back to the mural: "It is indeed a magic, but it is to send Qilin's own child into the womb of a woman who cannot conceive, and then conceive and give birth."
Lin Yao was horrified when he heard this, and expressed that he could not accept it.
"Do you think that the children of unicorns are all dragon scales, lion heads, antlers and slender bodies? They will be born in the womb of humans like normal children, grow up, live, grow old, get sick and die just like ordinary people. Many of them have outstanding talents , otherwise, how could there be such a saying as 'Kirin'?"
"Then, can such a child still be regarded as the continuation of the blood of the couple?" Lin Yao frowned, feeling that this was absurd.
"It's just a legend after all." The young man shrugged, "If it's true, I think Qilin's tears should be the tears of sorrow when he sees other people's family happy, but he is alone after all, right?"
For some reason, after hearing the young man's words, Lin Yao suddenly thought of Lin Cixian and her tear-filled eyes that day. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
