Chapter 46
[one]
The breeze is blowing, and the sun seems not so glaring in the early spring afternoon.

The wind blew across the lawn, making a soft noise.

A young man in brocade clothes lay on the lawn, quietly enjoying the leisure time.

The willow buds swayed in the wind, seeming to be as happy as he was.

"Lord River God? Are you resting here again?" On the edge of the embankment, a farmer was carrying a hoe. He seemed to have great respect for this young man, with enthusiasm in his eyes.

"Well, it's good to be idle." The young man didn't get up, but just replied casually. The air by the river is very humid, and it's very comfortable to lie here.

"The little people will not bother you." The old man squeezed a smile on his wrinkled face, and then walked towards his own land.

It was quiet, and so was the wind, it stopped.

The young man closed his eyes, feeling the comfort of this moment.

Is he a god?Yes and no?He has been guarding this river for many years, protecting the residents along this river, and making the world here have good weather and good weather.

For these people, he is a god, even if he knows that he is just the weakest existence.

On the country road, among the green mountains and green waters, the whole picture seems to be covered by a layer of hazy mist.

The field is emerald green, and a touch of light red suddenly comes from afar.

The fluttering girl in red walked briskly on the black land and along the river bank, looking for something.

"I finally found you, Chen Xinian!" The girl finally stopped behind the boy.

"Huh?" He hadn't heard anyone call him that in a long time.

Chen Xinian sat up, patted his clothes, and looked at the girl in front of him. Her eyes were bright and bright, and those vivid eyes were very beautiful.

"Which one?" Chen Xinian never recalled such a woman raised by a noble family.

"Huh? You can't even recognize me, it's too much!" The girl pouted, with a displeased face, and gently raised her right hand. The red thread tied with sapphire was very conspicuous on her wrist.

"Hmm..." Chen Xinian was silent for a while, but he didn't remember.

"Bastard, I'm Liu Ruxia. You still chose this name. Why did you pick me up under the willow tree in summer..." The girl's voice became weaker and weaker, as if she had been wronged.

Chen Xinian raised his eyebrows, "Oh, I remember you were chubby when you were young, not so good-looking."

After he finished speaking, he was stared at, um, he is a little god, he has little contact with the world, so he is not good at talking.

On that day, the little baby who was picked up and left here for eight years came back again.

It added a little bit of fun to Chen Xinian's life, but it was only a little bit.

The little baby has learned a lot of things, but he is still a mortal after all, and he can't reach the level of immortality, nor can he be worthy for a long time.

Chen Xinian didn't think too much about it, after all, a hundred years later, she would be nothing but a pile of loess.

It's June, and at this time, it is the critical period for farming. Chen Xinian wants to follow the long river that flows into the East China Sea to see how the people's livelihood is.

By the way, accompany the school of fish heading east.

This is the road he has to walk every year, but this year, it seems to be different, there is an extra young girl on the road alone.

Of course, with a companion, Chen Xinian's itinerary also changed a little. Along the way, he tried to slant his feet in the village as much as possible. Unlike the past, it didn't matter if he walked in wind and rain.

"Chen Xinian, what are you? I heard from Master that you can't be a god." Liu Ruxia was very happy all day long, and seemed to have endless energy.

"Me? I'm just a little fish that can't jump the dragon's gate." Chen Xinian didn't shy away from his identity.

Liu Ruxia walked along the river bank, not taking it seriously: "Hey~ Can the little fish live as chicly as you? They are also working hard!"

Chen Xinian was expressionless: "Tell the truth, forget it if you don't believe me, I have raised you for ten years, I count you as your elder, how do you talk to your elder!"

"Hey, it's because you look about the same age as me! Blame me, the young Lord River God—" Liu Ruxia drew a long tone, a little unconvinced.

Chen Xinian smiled helplessly, what an interesting human cub.

[two]
The journey was long, and for a whole month, the two of them were on their way non-stop. Everyone knew Chen Xinian's identity, and they treated him respectfully, which made him a little uncomfortable.

However, the girl is still full of vitality. Most people should not have such a good spirit after traveling for so long.

She said that she was a fairy descended from the earth, she was amazing, and she was not comparable to ordinary people at all.

Chen Xinian didn't mind about it: It's okay, you take your time, when I took you with me, among the eight children, you were the most restless and always peed on me.

When Liu Ruxia heard this, she could only blush and couldn't refute, she could only answer weakly: "Then there were so many little friends back then, didn't it just me, the youngest, who came back to look for you?"

Chen Xinian always smiled and didn't speak... How many of the children who left him are still alive these days?Struggling in this world.

Girl, if you don't enjoy your glory and wealth, why come back to me, a fake river god?
After staying in a lonely life for a long time, suddenly there is such a girl who talks so much, I still feel a little uncomfortable.

However, Chen Xinian still thinks it is good, it is a rare experience, after all, not everyone is willing to approach him as a "god".

In his long life, this girl was just a passer-by, accompanying him for a short distance.

[three]
When resting in a big city near the sea, I finally have a comfortable place to live. The people here have only heard about his reputation, and they don't kowtow when they see him, so they relax a lot.

He never stayed in these places for a long time, but this time, a girl took him to see the lanterns.

It's beautiful, these short-lived creatures have creativity that other monsters don't have, and imagination that even gods and demons don't have.

They have endless possibilities.

In this regard, Chen Xinian was deeply convinced.

That day, the girl took him to the best restaurant in the city, went to the best private room, ate the most sumptuous dishes, and drank the strongest wine.

She is so rich!Chen Xinian said with emotion, it's different to be valued by adults, unlike him, a loner.

Although he doesn't care.

"Haha, my son, you are lucky to have such a young lady who likes you!" When the statement was made, the showcase looked at him somewhat teasingly, and laughed loudly. The relationship has been misunderstood a lot.

That’s right, it’s easy to misunderstand anyone.

"Chen Xinian, listen, what he said makes sense." Liu Ruxia also had a happy smile, and followed Chen Xinian bouncing around.

Chen Xinian gave her a blank look, she didn't look like a lady from a family at all, "It's not big or small, pay attention to your wording."

His tone of speech was very flat, and he couldn't hear the meaning of punishment. After all, he really didn't care about these things, and he didn't take these etiquette seriously. Strictly speaking, he was just a young man.

It's just pretending.

Liu Ruxia paused for a while, but it was only after a long time, when she saw that there were few bright lights in the city, and the Kongming lanterns flew into the distance, did she say something. At that time, Liu Ruxia was standing under the sky of lights, watching It's beautiful.

Chen Xinian couldn't remember the general content, but only one sentence.

"From now on, every year, I will accompany you to watch the lights here, okay?"

Did he agree at the time, or did he not?

Well, I guess I couldn't refuse, the girl's pupils were very clear, just staring at him so straightly, Chen Xinian felt that he probably didn't refuse.

He is not a true god, nor is he ruthless.

[Four]
Thanks to Chen Xinian's blessing, the place where this long river flows is still enjoying good weather and good harvests.

The girl went back to a place that Chen Xinian didn't know, to enjoy the glory and wealth.

A person's life, on the contrary, is somewhat uncomfortable.

Chen Xinian felt that his heart was a little restless, but fortunately, this is a good thing, stones are always quiet, he doesn't want to be a stone forever.

But, loneliness is suddenly a bit difficult.

Another spring, the girl came back with brisk steps.

Still so agile, so lively.

Chen Xinian felt that he picked up a treasure and made a very wise decision.

"Chen Xinian, Chen Xinian! Are you happy to see me!" The girl's silver bell-like voice echoed in her ears.

Chen Xinian just nodded with a smile, Liu Ruxia ran to his side in a bouncing manner, and gave him a hug, perhaps too hard.

When he fell on the grass, he hadn't realized it yet. It seemed that this girl was much happier than him.

……

For the next few years, every year, Liu Ruxia would come to him.

Every time, they were on the top floor of the restaurant watching the lights in the city drive away the night and reflect the day.

It was a beautiful sight, and the people who were with him were even more beautiful.

"Chen Xinian, I like you so much." That day, Liu Ruxia seemed to be drunk. In the past, he was the only one drinking alone.

"Well, why?" Chen Xinian just asked the reason lightly, he would not be drunk.

Liu Ruxia was lying on the table, delirious: "Cut, do you still need a reason? You are a hero, admired by thousands of people, just right, and supported my childhood..."

"Is that good? I just do things according to my heart." Chen Xinian smiled and looked up at the moon.

There is a bright moon from time to time, but today it is extraordinarily bright.

Liu Ruxia blushed badly, "Anyway, it's like that anyway, it's just... that's why..."

Chen Xinian shook his head, "Wait for me to jump over the dragon gate."

The meaning of this sentence can only be understood by him. Only when he crosses the dragon gate can he become a real river god and...

In the following years, he did not stay in the usual lakeside town full of lotus flowers, but traveled far away.

In the same year, Liu Ruxia did not return to this small town either.

Yes, Chen Xinian is just a small fish, but he has too much, he is an existence that has been blessed thousands of times.

How can a mortal get too close?How can a small fish be admired by thousands of people?

……

Chen Xinian came back, and when he returned, he had two white dragon horns growing on his forehead.

He succeeded. This time, he took the initiative to find the girl, the girl who accompanied him.

But not found.

The residence she mentioned has long since changed, and a restaurant has been built.

Chen Xinian was scared, this was the first time since he opened his spirit.

Following the few clues left, I only found out a new legend.

The old river god has immeasurable merits and has been transferred to a more prosperous place, where the scorching spirit demon is doing evil here, but the girl who accompanied him has become a new hero.

Her body sank under this great river, and she was regarded as the new river god.

Now, it is she who is admired by all the people here.

During that time, Chen Xinian didn't know how he lived, he just wandered around, as if he had lost his soul.

A year apart is a farewell forever.

Chen Xinian knew that it was because she was too close that she attracted those guys. He was at fault.

Still in the same restaurant, Chen Xinian was drunk for the first time, he seemed to be unable to hear or see clearly.

When closing the bill, the shopkeeper still greeted him with a smile.

"Where's the lady who's been with you all this time? Is she here today? I've always thought you're both talented and beautiful."

Very harsh.

Chen Xinian just lowered his head, shopkeeper, you don't know, the girl you mentioned is admired by you, the new river god!
Will not come again, she is now lying somewhere in that long river, with fish and shrimp as company.

In the following time, Chen Xinian never showed up in front of people again. He hoped that she would be remembered by more people.

And Chen Xinian himself is just a small fish.
