a man who appears once a year

The rainy season didn't last long, at least on the eve of Xiafushui's birthday, the sky cleared completely.

Ruan Qiuping's family is poor, and they have birthdays every year, so they keep everything simple for their birthdays.

Ruan Qiuping and Ruan Shengfeng's birthdays are the simplest, and eating longevity noodles at noon counts as passing.

Ruan Dongdong is the youngest and has the most grand birthday.Birthday dresses, birthday presents, birthday cakes, and birthday parties are indispensable—although there are only four of them in the birthday party.

As for Xia Fushui's birthday standard, it was lower than Ruan Dongdong's and higher than Ruan Qiuping and Ruan Shengfeng's.

For example, on Xia Fushui's birthday a few years ago, they had four dishes and one soup at noon, Ruan Shengfeng gave Xia Fushui a bouquet of flowers, and Ruan Qiuping gave Xia Fushui a pill, simple and not lacking in ritual.

Ruan Qiuping thought this year would be the same, but he didn't expect Xia Fushui to call him to clean up just after dawn.

"Dad... what is this for?" Ruan Qiuping asked Ruan Shengfeng quietly when he swept the floor in front of him.

Ruan Shengfeng squatted on the ground repairing the tables and chairs, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that your mother wants to have a light meal with Yu's family on this birthday."

Ruan Qiuping: "..."

Xia Fushui is already hanging in the air and started to paint the wall. Is this just a light meal?

"Ruan Shengfeng!" Xia Fushui fell from the sky and said with a frown, "Is the table you repaired still usable?"

"Yes!" Ruan Shengfeng turned the table over and put it on the ground, shaking it, and said happily, "Look, after I sawed the other three legs, the surface of the table will be flat, and the soup will not stick to it even if it is placed on it." Sarah! I think it will last another 100 years!"

Xia Fushui glanced at the table with disgust, and said, "Go to Trading Forest and buy another table! This broken table is a shame!"

With that said, she threw a money bag to Ruan Shengfeng.

Ruan Shengfeng scratched his head and said, "Then I'm going to buy the most popular European-style palace-style dining table in the human world?"

The European-style palace-style luxury dining table sounds good, but it doesn't match the dilapidated Chinese-style pastoral style of his house at all.

Xia Fushui took a deep breath and decided not to get angry on her birthday.

"Qiuping, go buy it!"

When Ruan Shengfeng handed the money bag to Ruan Qiuping, he secretly gave Ruan Qiuping some broken silver, and said in a low voice, "I heard that the elixir shop in Trading Forest just launched a new color spirit pill today, go buy some One, it will definitely increase your spiritual power, and you will be closer to the Conferred God."

"Okay, thank you Dad!"

Ruan Qiuping smiled and took the broken silver into his hands.

After Ruan Qiuping came down from the snow mountain a few days ago, he did not know which meridian was opened up, and his cultivation level increased a little for no reason, but Ruan Shengfeng was so excited that he made pills for Ruan Qiuping from everywhere in the past two days. .

Ruan Qiuping searched through the medicine books yesterday morning, trying to find out if there were any pills that could deplete his spiritual power. After the rain stopped last night, he looked at the apple tree and suddenly figured it out.

The last moldy god committed suicide after his family members passed away.

But he, Ruan Qiuping, was a little luckier than the previous Misty God, because he knew what kind of calamity the Misty God would go through.

He can live a normal life. When he feels that his spiritual power has peaked and he is about to become a god, he will kill himself in advance.

Ruan Qiuping calculated carefully, and based on the current progress of his spiritual power soaring from time to time, he would still be two or three hundred years away from conferred godhood.

The human lifespan is only a hundred years and can live a wonderful life, but Ruan Qiuping can live for two to three hundred years, what are you afraid of?

The trading forest is a trading place that has only appeared in recent years.

The reason why the trading forest is a forest, not a street, is because there are often some things that are not allowed to be sold, such as gadgets brought by the immortals from the mortal world, or things that make the immortals blush but have nothing to do with the human world. Compared with the scale of the storybook, it is not worth mentioning.

Therefore, this forest is very hidden, and even many immortals wear masks when they buy things.

This is also the reason why Ruan Qiuping likes to trade Lin very much, and comes here to search for things every now and then.

After all, once he wears a mask, no one can recognize him as a mold god, and he can also buy things, chat or bargain with people like a normal person.

Ruan Qiuping was haggling with the stall owner for the simple and elegant mahogany table, when suddenly there was a commotion beside him, and a familiar name came to Ruan Qiuping's ears one after another.

"I'm going! Auspicious God is here!"

"Aren't you invisible? Didn't you wear a mask?!"

"I heard that Jishen sealed his luck, is it true?"

"No! I don't believe it! I finally met him, and I'm going to get lucky!"

"I want it too! I want it too! If you rub it, you will earn it!!!"

Ruan Qiuping turned his head to look blankly, and sure enough, he saw Yu Huan's figure in the crowd.

There are mixed fish and dragons in the trading forest, and the immortals wear strange shapes, and the masks on their faces are even more varied, including bull heads and ghost faces, which looks chaotic and noisy.

But Yu Huan was still dressed in a white robe, with picturesque eyebrows and a jade-like face, and even the swing of his sleeves was tinged with a fairy air that was different from others.

There seems to be such a person in the world.

Wherever he stood, everything in front of him and behind him became his background.

If he is silent, there will be chaos behind him.

If he is heavy, he will appear dull behind him.

Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment.

Ruan Qiuping hasn't seen Yu Huan for two days.

That day after he poured the Reminiscence Soup, he finished crying in front of the apple tree, and brought Yu Huan the Cold Repelling Soup again as promised.

That day, Yu Huan took advantage of his weakness, so he made many requests.

After he personally fed Yu Huan the cold-dispelling soup spoon by spoon, he lit the stove for Yu Huan, tucked up the quilt, and coaxed him to sleep quickly.

But Yu Huan reached out and grabbed his wrist, his eyes sparkled under the reflection of the stove: "It's getting late, Ruan Ruan don't leave tonight, okay?"

At that time, Ruan Qiuping was still dizzy because of Yiqingtang, so he pulled Yuhuan's wrist and said, "Go to bed earlier."

After speaking, he left.

When he walked out of the cave, Yu Huan seemed to call his name.

But Ruan Qiuping didn't stop.

Ruan Qiuping has always been a person who recovers quickly.

This aspect of recovery is not just about injuries, but also about psychology.

When Ruan Qiuping was six years old, he accidentally heard his mother say that he wanted to get rid of him. Although his mother apologized to him, he still knew that he was a drag on the whole family.He ran away from home the next night.

Six-year-old Ruan Qiuping walked for three days and three nights, and finally fainted on the ground because he couldn't find anything to eat.

When he woke up, he was already lying on the bed at home.

His mother looked at him haggardly and said, "Qiuping, can you forget what your mother said that day?"

Ruan Qiuping nodded, and smiled innocently at his mother: "Mom, I forgot all about it!"

When Ruan Qiuping was [-] years old, he accidentally learned the price of being a god of mold. After crying for three hours, he decided to become a useless god who no longer practiced kung fu.

In the afternoon of the second day, he was able to accept the spiritual power fruit given by his father with a smile, and lied without blushing and heartbeat, saying that he was going to practice in the back mountain.

Ruan Qiuping learned two days ago that he could no longer control the rapid development of his spiritual power.

After thinking about it seriously for a long time, he decided to use early suicide to save the lives of his family members, and prepared to happily spend every day before becoming a god.

In fact, Ruan Qiuping has never understood whether he has a better ability to manage and control emotions, or the ability to close emotions.

Regardless, it's a useful ability.

So after Ruan Qiuping poured out the Reminiscence Soup, he was really sad, and wept bitterly in front of the mortal Yu Huan's grave.

But the next afternoon, he figured it out again.

In fact, if Yu Huan does not recover his memory, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

First of all, unlike Jishen, Ruan Qiuping firmly believes that Jishen and Mortal Yuhuan are the same person.

Even if he cried in front of Yu Huan's grave that day, he was just mourning for that forgotten memory, rather than seeing Yu Huan and Jishen as two completely different individuals.

When Yu Huan was in the mortal world, he always knew that Yu Huan was a god of auspiciousness.

When Yu Huan died of old age, he comforted himself that Yu Huan just returned to heaven.

When Yu Huan became Jishen and lost his memory, he began to try his best to make Remembrance Soup to restore Yu Huan's memory.

From the beginning to the end, he never regarded Yu Huan and Ji Shen as two people.

Yu Huan doesn't want to recover his memory.

Yu Huan said that it is okay to feel that he is very strange in the mortal world.

Yu Huan can do it because his experience in the mortal world is all a dream.

But Yu Huan said that the Yu Huan in the mortal world is not himself, that's not allowed.

The mortal Yu Huan and Jishen obviously have the same appearance, the same voice and the same soul, so why are they not the same person?

Could it be that the change of personality and the feeling that the original self is strange, does it mean that these are two people?

Ruan Qiuping still feels that when he was bullied by others in his childhood, he kept silent and foolishly resisted speaking, which is very strange to him. Does this mean that he was completely different when he was a child and now?

how is this possible.

Yu Huan also used the phrase "Oranges born in Huainan are tangerines, and those born in Huaibei are oranges" as a metaphor for himself.

But Ruan Qiuping checked the book, and what Yan Zi said was wrong.

Tangerine belongs to the genus Citrus in the Rutaceae family, while Hovenia trifoliate belongs to the genus Hovenia in the family Rutaceae. Orange and Hovenia trifoliate are not the same species, how can they be the same?

But Yu Huan in the mortal world and Yu Huan in the sky belong to the same soul.

After thinking about this level, Ruan Qiuping immediately felt at ease.

Doesn't Yu Huan just don't want to drink Reminiscence Soup?

Doesn't Yu Huan just think that ordinary things should be ordinary?

Ruan Qiuping listened to him.

In fact, this is also good.

Ordinary Yu Huan fell in love with him, so he indulged and indulged Yu Huan all the time in a daze, and finally became lovers with Yu Huan.

Now Yu Huan doesn't remember the things in the mortal world, he doesn't have the temperament of mortal world that is easy to be emotional, and he doesn't have much affection for him, so he can start anew with Yu Huan.

This time, they might make a more correct choice.

Ruan Qiuping took a deep breath, and continued to look up at the man in the center of his line of sight.

——His former lover, future best friend.

"By the way, have you heard that Jishen No.15 is going to marry Meishen next month!"

"Stop talking, I'm about to cry, did someone form a group to smash the wedding stone?!"

Hearing these two words, Ruan Qiuping also slowly frowned.

Oh yes.

He almost forgot that there was still a marriage contract between him and his future best friend.

……How to do?

Friendship options are again at stake.

"Brother Chigui, it's okay, it's okay, don't cut it with me, I'll sell it to you at the cheap price you said, take it away quickly, I have to close the stall to see the god of good fortune!" the furniture stall owner shouted. It broke Ruan Qiuping's thinking.

"Oh, okay, thank you boss!" Ruan Qiuping hurriedly lowered his head to take the money from the purse.

Ruan Qiuping spent a long time digging out the broken silver in the purse and handing it to the stall owner.But the stall owner froze on the spot, looking straight behind Ruan Qiuping.

Only then did Ruan Qiuping realize that the surroundings had become quieter.

The familiar feeling hit like a wave, Ruan Qiuping turned around slowly, and sure enough, he saw Yu Huan who was getting closer and closer to him.

The little fairies in the trading forest are also strange. When Jishen is far away, they all clamor to get closer, so that they can make money.

But now that Yu Huan came over, they took two steps back one by one, consciously giving way to Jishen.

In this way, Yu Huan walked towards Ruan Qiuping step by step from the crowd.

Beside Yu Huan is a group of little fairies wearing various masks. Most of the masks are grotesquely shaped with teeth and claws. At first glance, they seem to be full of all kinds of ghosts and monsters. Yu Huan is the only one, like the breeze and the moon, as if hiding in the shadows. The fairy king among ghosts.

Ruan Qiuping subconsciously touched the red ghost mask on his face, feeling that he was also one of these monsters.

But Yu Huan found him among countless monsters.

Under the gaze of the crowd, he stopped in front of Ruan Qiuping, stretched out his hand, and took off the mask of red face and fangs on Ruan Qiuping's face.

The moment the mask was lifted, a gentle smile like ripples in Chunhu appeared in his eyes:

"Ruan Ruan, I found you."
