The lazy and somewhat cool dusk of late autumn fell from the eaves between the houses.

In the distance, under a golden autumn sun, ripe and tender pears hang on the branches, and the crimson and yellow pear petals fall down and land on the stone roadside.

After a winter, these petals that have turned into spring mud will welcome the arrival of a new round of pear blossoms.

Back and forth, the cycle continues.

"The Guiliji under the sunset is still so beautiful,"

After bidding farewell to the immortals, He Li did not return to Guiliyuan immediately, but found a small mound to sit down and quietly appreciate the scenery at the moment.

He had watched this scene for thousands of years and tens of thousands of days.

Whether standing on the top of Mount Aozang, drinking with Zhong Li, or walking home hand in hand with someone on the street...

But more often, it is still the sudden rise of the slanting sunset when it breaks through the window sill and reaches the desk during the return.

Oh - it's almost dark, time flies by so fast...

“Time flies by so fast…”

Is he lamenting that a thousand years have passed in a flash, or is he lamenting that "the story must have an end,

Maybe there is no difference between the two anymore.

He suddenly took out the Homa staff and gently wiped it in the sunset.

The scarlet spear tip emitted a faint humming sound under the afterglow and gentle touch, and the gem inlaid in the middle of it emitted a faint red light.

"There will be a time when you will sharpen your blade,"

he whispered.

...

The autumn wind suddenly changed its appearance, turning into a refreshing fragrance.

He felt his heart beating, stood up skillfully, and opened his arms towards a certain place.

The next moment, the fragrance of pear fills my heart.

"My husband, why are you sitting here?"

He Li looked down at the pear blossoms blooming in his arms.

That is the only pear blossom blooming in autumn.

It belongs to autumn, and even more to him.

He felt the fragrance of flowers lingering around him and smiled:

"Sit here and enjoy the fresh air. Why are you here?"

"After I lead the people to see the Qianyan Army off, of course I have to come find you."

The pear flower spirit raised her chin as if it was a matter of course.

Ever since she gave her heart to him, or married him, she has become more attached to him than ever before.

"Why, you're not welcome?"

She raised her head and wrinkled her nose at him.

"How can it be,"

He Li tightened his arms, smiled and shook his head.

Holding her in his arms, he sat on the stone again.

"Since you are here, watch the sunset with me."

Watch the sunset?

Gui finally twisted his neck and looked at the round sun behind him.

Then I turned around again and looked at his profile in the sunset.

She suddenly laughed foolishly:

"hey-hey."

"what happened?"

He glanced over curiously.

"I've watched it for so many years and I still can't get enough of it,"

She giggled.

"Of course I can't get enough of it,"

He Li smiled and shook his head.

The pear blossom fairy leaned forward, her gray hair spread out over his shoulders as the setting sun shone, and her fragrant breath blew on his neck and ears:

“I can’t get enough of it.”

The sun is getting brighter, the sunset glows all over the sky, the years are long, the trees are covered with moss, I don't know when, the time is short, the sunset is also fleeting, countless flowers and green leaves will die in the coming winter,

But at this moment, we are still deeply engraved in each other's memory.

...

"When will we start?"

Hua Hua Hua——

Waves beat against the shore one after another, and the dark sea water blurred the night and day. Standing on tiptoe, I saw a green plain in the distance, deeply sunken in the land, prosperous and warm.

At the intersection of night and day, waves rise up, and tentacles with deep blue light can be vaguely seen underneath.

Deep voices came from the bottom of the sea:

"That place is just a depression after all. If the flood comes from three sides, even Morax will be powerless to save the situation."

"Oh, Osel, you should have a chance to show your skills."

On the shore not far from the sound from the seabed, there was also a dark shadow standing.

The dragon-like and snake-like body of the black shadow looked even more ferocious and slender under the moonlight.

He is neither a dragon nor a snake, to be precise, he is a Chi.

As the sound of Osel from the seabed rang out, the waves of the sea also became bigger.

Seeing this, Chi showed some disgust on his face, swung his tail and moved towards the shore again.

While avoiding the smell of the sea, he glanced at the bottom of the sea:

"Wait. Once the people in front of us have restrained Morax, it will be our chance to act."

If this guy didn't know some underwater skills and could use floods to destroy buildings and forests with ease, how could he be worthy of working with me?

He is a dragon, a spiritual being of heaven and earth.

And by then, as long as Morax is not there, no matter who is stationed in Guiliji, he will die at his claws.

Hualalalal—the tide is still rising.

...

Tonight's Guiliji seems particularly quiet.

After Zhong Li decided to lead the Qianyan Army and the immortals to attack first, He Li, who was in the rear, implemented a "curfew" in Guiliji.

The bustling night markets and busy streets have now become cold and empty shops. The countless smiles and lights that bloomed at night have returned to thousands of households.

At this moment, Guili Ji is like a dormant hedgehog with its edge hidden.

"Hiss—it's a bit quiet today."

The gray-haired girl crossed her arms, pulled down the window, and completely turned off the lights in the house.

The loneliness unique to late autumn seems to appear only at this moment.

"Of course. As the saying goes, it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality."

He Li smiled and walked forward to put a piece of clothing on the girl. He rubbed her head:

"In the past, Liuyun, Aping Ping'er, Xiao Ganyu and sometimes Sister Zhongli would get together and have fun.

Suddenly everyone left, so of course it became much quieter."

"Well, that's right."

The girl tightened her clothes, looked up at He Li and said with a smile:

"It's a good thing you didn't leave,"

She took the big hand off her head and rubbed it in her arms, as if trying to extract some warmth from it.

She bared her little fangs and threatened like a kitten:

"You are not allowed to leave."

"..."

He Li was silent for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Okay."

"Hehe——Since there are only two of us..."

The pear flower fairy suddenly took a step back, put her hands behind her back, and showed a mysterious smile on her face:

"Then let's..."

"Forehead..."

He Li was about to speak.

Guizhong took the first step.

"Qiangqiang-"

She took out a jar from somewhere, held it high in front of her chest and said:

"Pear blossom wine!"

At this point, she even winked at He Li:

"The one from a thousand years ago."

...

boo——

The wooden lid was pried open, and the amber wine surged, along with the aroma of a thousand years of brewing, and the memories of that winter as thick as honey.

He Li looked at the girl holding the jar in front of him, and a trance flashed in his eyes, as if he had returned to that winter day.

It turns out that so much time has passed, it turns out that I have been with her for so long, it turns out that -

Our tune has been sung for so long.

"Hey, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and help me. It's really... you still don't care about your wife after all this time."

A call from nearby pulled him out of his memories.

"Oh oh oh, here it comes,"

He Li patted his head and hurriedly took the wine jar, while Gui Zhong trotted briskly to get two wooden bowls.

They were two identical yet unique wooden bowls, each with its own unique mark engraved on it.

He Li looked at Gui Zhong's busy back and forth, and couldn't help but smile, thoughtful...

...

"What a pity, it's not winter..."

After arranging everything, the two sat opposite each other at the small table. Looking at the hot pot on the table, Gui Zhong was still a little dissatisfied. She looked out the window.

"It's okay. No matter what we do, it won't be the same as before."

He Li smiled and comforted,

Time always leaves its own mark.

"If you had said so earlier, you wouldn't have opened the wine so early. It would have been more interesting to open it when it snowed for more than ten days."

Gui Zhong said with a smile, but there was still some regret in his words.

"Wait till winter..."

He Li smiled, paused, lowered his eyes and said softly:

"It doesn't matter now. As long as you are here and I am here, that's enough."

"Right,"

Gui Zhong stood up, picked up the jar and poured a bowl of wine for each of them.

The yellow wine reflected the lights of thousands of houses in the sky.

She handed He Li a bowl of wine and looked at He Li with a particularly bright smile:

“Just like a song, you are here and I am here, the main theme of the song is here, and our story is here.”

"..."

Jade face under the lamp, reflection in the wine, beauty in the eyes,

He Li was stunned for a moment.

"Hehe, it's been so long, and I still can't see enough. There's still a lot of time to come."

The girl under the lamp said with a sweet smile.

after...

In just a moment, He Li came back to his senses.

He took the bowl, and the yellow wine swayed under the light.

"cheers,"

he said.

...

Although Gui Zhong has the body of a demon, her alcohol tolerance is actually not very good.

In the past, I would often start talking nonsense with a slurred tongue after drinking less than half a jar of liquor.

After that, I have to wipe her hands and feet myself, and after marriage, I have to help her wipe her body and change her clothes...

She always showed her greatest clinginess in front of him——

Like a little kid.

But now, this little kid drank bowl after bowl of wine that had been brewed for who knows how long and had a certain alcohol content.

"Come, husband, have another bowl,"

The pear flower spirit held the bowl in both hands. The alcohol had dyed her face completely red. Under the light, her eyes were full of circles.

And around her, there were several empty wine jars - how could she drink so much?

He Li looked at her, frowning.

at last,

boom--

He pressed the wine bowl on the table, and the amber wine splashed on the table, emitting waves of alcoholic smell.

He stood up and stretched out his hand to Gui Zhong:

"Don't drink anymore. Come on, wife, let's take a shower and go to sleep. You can't drink anymore."

Snapped--

His outstretched hand was slapped away.

Gui finally raised his already red face and slightly opened his blurred eyes.

She was particularly stubborn when she was drunk:

"don't want,"
