He and It

Xie Ning's mouth was dry and her body was covered in sweat. Her heart almost flew out of her throat because she laughed so loudly that her throat hurt. He fell on Echidna's chest, still laughing uncontrollably.

"Okay, you win!" He panted and said cheerfully, "I give up."

Echidna stared at him expectantly, and couldn't help flicking the tip of his tail: "Then what is the surprise you are talking about? Just tell me, and don't ask me to guess hard."

Xie Ning glanced at him and said with a smile: "I'll tell you after I finish taking a shower!"

There was no other way, so Echidna had no choice but to take his human to bathe in the hot spring. Along the way, he struggled with her like a sticky candy, but couldn't get any words out of Dolos' mouth. He felt like his body was crawling with ants, and his heart was itching unbearably.

No one had ever prepared any "surprises" for him. Because this was something he had never received before, the Demon God was doubly curious and wanted to find out.

Xie Ning didn't care about him. He cheered and jumped into the hot water to wash away all the sweat stains on his body.

Echidna was still thinking outside when he heard the sound of water in the hot spring gradually subsided. Doros's voice came to his ears through the mist and tiny water droplets: "Echidna, come in. one time!"

The snake demon got in without hesitation, but found no trace of the boy on the water. He asked helplessly: "What's the matter? Dolos, don't go under the water to play. You don't have the gills of a fish or the scales of a sea snake." , you won’t be able to hold your breath.”

A pair of moist, soft arms suddenly broke through the scorching spring water, hooked his neck, and tried to drag him down.

Echidna was not wary of human beings' every move, and since this was what he wanted, the demon followed his wishes and jumped into the spring together, pushing the water level up a lot.

Through the twists and turns of the light, Xie Ning kissed his lips tenderly and blew a few words into it vaguely.

"This is the surprise."

They kissed underwater, and the bubbles rolled upwards. Echidna's snake tail wrapped around Xie Ning in circles, not forgetting to bring him to the surface.

After floating up, Xie Ning took a long breath. His cheeks were red, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were also red, and his eyes seemed to be lit with two stars, looking at Echidna brightly.

Being looked at by him like this, Echidena's soul almost flew out of the Tianling Cap. Xie Ning pushed him and asked him to sit on the stone platform next to the spring. She followed the waves up and down and got close to the snake demon's long tail.

He raised his face and smiled at Echidna.

·

An hour and a half later, they changed to another pool to soak in. Xie Ning had just washed herself and had to wash her again now.

"The surprise is over!" He used a dry cloth to absorb the water from his body and said carelessly, "There will be no more surprises in the future, don't have any illusions!"

Echidna didn't speak for a while. After a long time, he pestered Xie Ning and said stumblingly: "Dolos, you... you are so good to me, I love you so much..."

Perhaps this "surprise" was a bit too strong. Although Xie Ning lost, Echidna not only gave him the reward he deserved, but also gave it twice as hard. Soon, the five large rooms of the underground palace were filled with parchment scrolls and clay tablets brought from the human kingdom. If Xie Ning hadn't shouted to stop, Echidna himself would not have stopped.

Standing in the temporary study room, Xie Ning flipped through the parchment and looked over it. She looked up at her lover and smiled sheepishly: "Hey, I can't understand."

Echidena did not think that he was illiterate, but felt happily that he had got a good job. He picked up the scroll and said to Xie Ning, "Then I will read it to you."

So, Xie Ning lay in the tail of the snake he had enclosed, and heard the demon reciting the story in the book to him in a soothing voice.

In this era, people had already developed the concept of drama from the wine pressing day and the sacrificial ceremony of the Dionysus Festival. Using the great heroic stories of the present and even previous generations, playwrights created various complex scripts, most of which took tragedies as the theme, and comedies were relatively rare.

From frivolous luxury to simple and powerful severity, drama completed its staged transformation at this time. The hero with a sad fate became a spiritual leader in a universal sense. People secretly recite the absolute dominance of fate. Whether it is a fictional text or a real life, everyone in the world firmly believes that fate is like a choppy sea, and life is a small boat that rises and falls in it.

But on the other hand, heroes are not role models for everyone to follow. In a sense, the hero's ending is an ominous warning - there are few great people in the world who die with their children and grandchildren around their knees. Their noble and unyielding virtues often put them in irreconcilable conflicts, and they are forced to make choices that hurt both sides and have no good way to go. Even if the heroes are a little despicable, a little cowardly, or even a little indecisive, they can live intact until the moment of old age and death, but they suffer and die resolutely at the pinnacle of life, in a glory that is unprecedented and unprecedented. , just because they are ideal people, and ideal people cannot be reconciled with mediocrity.

"Everyone says that there are two jars in front of Zeus's door. One is gold, filled with happiness and joy, and the other is iron, filled with misery and misfortune. For a person, Zeus often chooses from two jars. He only grabs some of each in a jar to share his destiny, but joy and happiness are as light as feathers, and they often fly away from the hands of the gods; while suffering and misfortune are as heavy as rocks, so they are heavy and have not been reduced by one point." Eka Dana said, "This is the rhetoric used by human beings to comfort themselves, a pale and futile explanation for why their lives are so rough and difficult and cannot be forgiven by fate."

Xie Ning was fascinated by what she heard, and asked: "Is this statement true?"

"It's fake, it can't be fake anymore." Echidna sneered, "Human beings are unfortunate because gods control their past and future, because there are more powerful things that are above their heads and dominate their lives. . But just as human life is controlled by gods, the will of gods is also secretly affected by the goddess of fate. It is this final outcome that leads humans to write more tragedies and less comedies. After all, joy is rare, and sorrow is the essence of life. normal."
