Too Reckless - Vol 17 Chapter 8

In the early morning, the dawn of a thousand feet was sprinkled on the top of the sea of ​​​​clouds, and the window facing the east was opened in the spring breeze, revealing a fresh and elegant beauty.

Compared with the past, the beauty’s brows were filled with a touch of spring, just like the pink on the lotus.

Recalling the unbearable experience last night, even the beauty herself felt that she was a mad critic.

Miss Scholar, who has not yet left the cabinet, is the first to meet Yulu. She even dares to see the blood droplets of the foxtail.

If this experience is passed on home, I don’t know how many little girls will stare wide-eyed, full of incredible.

But is she Mei Jinshui? Just like the plum blossom she loves, plum blossoms are born before a hundred flowers bloom, and they are born to be different. On such important occasions, it is natural to ‘not mix with the peaches and plums’, even if they are free, they must Bai gave the most powerful posture, showing his own uniqueness…

Facing the spring breeze, Mei Jinshui waited for a long time before she found many excuses to comfort herself, suppressed the shame in her heart, and returned to her usual calm.

Mei Jinshui looked down at the handkerchief folded in her hand, quietly put it in the small wooden box that kept the token of love in Zuo Lingquan’s Linglong Pavilion, and put it in front of all the girls, then turned around and looked towards bed.

Cui Yingying was wearing a black tulle nightdress, lying on her side on the bed. She didn’t know whether she was dizzy or pretending to be asleep. Anyway, she covered her head with a thin blanket and didn’t make a sound.

After Zuo Lingquan experienced the big waves, the mood that he was about to float to the sky has not yet been suppressed. He lay on the pillow and looked at the top of the curtain. The afterglow of ‘Sai Shenxian’.

Mei Jinshui picked up her long hair, draped it behind her back, walked slowly to the front, and glanced at it with a slightly teasing look:

“Young Master Zuo, can’t you get up now?”

? !

Zuo Lingquan came back to his senses, hurriedly sat up, and said with a smile:

“Why can’t I get up, I just lie down and relax. Um… I’m still called Master Zuo? Didn’t I change my name last night to call me Xianggong?”

Mei Jinshui sat down on the edge of the bed, covered her head with a thin quilt, and said calmly, ignoring Yingying.

“You are so flirtatious, in order not to disappoint you, naturally I have to satisfy you. Now that everything is over, it’s not that easy for me to change my words, there are not a dozen poems…”

Zuo Lingquan leaned forward and tapped on his rosy lips:

“Okay, I promise you. I’ll think about it slowly, and I’ll definitely honor it. Good lady, let the minister open his mind first.”

Mei Jinshui licked her lips lightly, and after a little consideration, she still fulfilled the little thief’s wish:

“Good husband, it’s time to get up, and let Yingying wait for you to get dressed.”

Zuo Lingquan suddenly laughed, a little silly, but he was overjoyed immediately, and his waist was twisted.

Sister Yingying, who was pretending to be asleep, pulled away the thin blanket to reveal the remaining flushed cheeks, and said angrily:

“I’m not a maid, you won’t wait for him to get dressed? And let me come…”

Mei Jinshui raised her hand and hit behind Sister Yingying:

“It’s neither big nor small, right? Yesterday, it wasn’t for the teacher to protect you from disasters. You don’t know what to cry for, so heartless?”

When Cui Yingying heard this, she felt a little ashamed. After all, as a past person, she couldn’t bear to ‘open a new way’ last night, and even pulled the master who had just been devastated to block the gun, forcibly tossing the master to beg for mercy.

Out of gratitude, Cui Yingying was still more filial at this time. She didn’t talk back to her master. She sat up and threw her robe in Zuo Lingquan’s arms: “Wear it by myself”, then picked up the wooden comb and helped Mei Jinshui comb her hair. .

Zuo Lingquan didn’t float to the point where Yilai reached out and opened his mouth, he sat up with a smile and put on his robe:

“Are you tired last night? Do you want something to eat or drink? I’ll get it for you? If you want to drink Dongzhou’s wine, I’ll go and buy it for you now.”

Mei Jinshui held the bronze mirror, looked at Yingying combing her hair, smiled and said:

“I feel that my skin is not moist enough, so I want to eat tortoise ointment for nourishment. The biggest mysterious turtle in the back is old enough, so go and boil it.”

ah?

Zuo Lingquan’s expression froze, and he secretly said: The biggest turtle is Aunt Xie’s spiritual pet. If he uses it to boil the tortoise ointment, I’m afraid he will have nothing to do with Taotao…

Fortunately, Sister Yingying is still fond of her husband. Knowing that the master is teasing him, she quickly helped out:

“You’re not moisturizing enough? ZaibuXiao, like Ling Ye, became the Dragon King.”

“What dragon king?”

“that is……”

Cui Yingying wanted to get close to Master’s ear to explain, but Zuo Lingquan listened in front of her and was a little embarrassed.

Seeing Zuo Lingquan’s strange smile, Mei Jinshui frowned and said:

“Women say private words, do you want to listen too?”

Zuo Lingquan nodded quickly: “Okay, I won’t eavesdrop, you guys talk, I’ll go out first.”

After Cui Yingying watched Zuo Lingquan go out, she approached Master’s ear and talked about the little private matter of Ling Ye being bullied into a water-spraying dragon king…

—-

The journey of three days and two nights was fulfilling and happy for Zuo Lingquan. After coaxing A Shui and Sister Yingying, he went to coax Qiutao and Gugua. Before he had tasted enough addiction, Beishouzhou came to the front.

The suspended attic and the ferry boat full of spiritual turtles stopped at Xuanwutai by the sea. The vast land behind the high platform for offering sacrifices to the sea had already broken the ground and began to lay the foundation. Many monks of the Kunji Sect were busy working in it.

Zuo Lingquan and Qiu Tao together sent Aunt Xie and his wife to the small farm yard on the cliff, and then went to Houshan to pay homage to the ancestors of the Xie family. After visiting the construction site for a while, they continued their journey and rushed back to Xiangyang. Mountain.

After returning from the Land of Eternal Night, he has been busy with his work so far. The heavy official duties are coming to an end. Shangguan Yutang is still holding a meeting in the main hall, while the girls who serve as staff members are more leisurely. They have already started to pack their things and buy souvenirs, ready to return to their hometowns.

Zuo Lingquan went to Kui Bingzhou on a business trip. After setting up the Huangliang Blessed Land and returning, he first came to the main hall of Xiangyang Mountain and returned to Lord Tangtang.

The outside of Xiangyang Mountain is still full of people, and all the people standing on the square in front of the hall are the ancestors of the Xian family, and Lao Lu is among them as the ancestor of “Zhenyang Mountain”.

In the majestic hall, all the acquaintances were seated. The Sword Emperor of Dongzhou Zun, Guchen Zhang Zhilu of the Demon Sword, Taoist Headmaster, etc., were all giants of the Xian family who could influence the situation of a continent.

Zuo Lingquan entered the hall from the rear of the hall, but did not appear, but stood behind the mural of the rising sun; the dignified empress in a long dress with dragon scales sat in front of the mural, standing alone among the ten thousand people.

Seeing his daughter-in-law being so domineering, Zuo Lingquan only found it pleasing to the eyes, and naturally he wouldn’t go out to steal his daughter-in-law’s limelight, nor did he dare.

Zuo Lingquan glanced over the wall, and saw that Wu Zunyi, his second uncle, Qiu Boyue, Guagua’s uncle Huang Yuhe, and others were all among them.

And Guagua’s identity as ‘the second generation of Dingliuxian’ can also be reflected; because the old swordsman has a wide network of people, and the incense is also prosperous. There are five or six relatives in the hall, such as uncles and uncles, and There are more elders in the Huang family who have friendship, and they are almost everywhere.

By the way, Cultivation Dao attaches great importance to ‘the elder and the younger’. The monks who are not strong enough will never dare to sit in front of the bosses. Even if the bosses don’t care, they will feel guilty, so the order in the hall is orderly. Small, who is stronger and who is weak, can be seen from the seating position, except for Qiu Boyue.

Miss Qiu’s ancestor Qiu Boyue, according to Taoism and age, had to sit at the door; according to the size of the sect, it was reluctant to enter the hall, but at this time, many Taoist friends forcibly pushed him to sit in the first row. Taoist headmasters and other behemoths stand side by side.

The reason for this is because Qiu Boyue’s seniority is too exaggerated.

In the past, the old swordsman married his daughter to Qiu Fengqing, and Qiu Boyue can already call the old swordsman ‘Xiaohuang’; now the great-granddaughter is married to Zuo Lingquan, who ranks among the Immortal Emperors, and the Valkyrie is also Zuo Lingquan. The Taoist Companion, the two Immortal Emperors are four generations shorter than Qiu Boyue.

Who would dare to argue with Qiu Boyue about seniority in the entire Jiuzhou? Calling Qiu Boyue ‘grandfather’ in front of him is arrogant and arrogant, daring to surpass the Immortal Emperor, which is still a hammer.

That’s why Qiu Boyue’s current name is very special. All the cultivators are called ‘Chou Xianzhang’, which means ‘guozhang’.

Qiu Boyue is a pure swordsman. He has been around for a lifetime. He has not made a big name in kendo, but has become the ‘strongest relative of Jiuzhou’. It can be said that his mood is very complicated.

Zuo Lingquan watched from the back of the main hall, as if he was accompanying Yutang. After about half a day, Yutang finished the closing speech admonishing the heroes of Jiuzhou, got up and retreated, and came after the mural.

Shangguan Yutang disappeared in front of the people, and the aura of the sun subsided, he walked slowly to the back, and heaved a sigh of relief:

“Finally done, let’s go home.”

After more than ten days of the conference, Rao was Yutang, who had a strong ability to withstand pressure. When he came to the man, he also showed a bit of fatigue.

Zuo Lingquan walked in front of him, hugged Yutang’s shoulder, raised his hand and stretched out to the heavy place:

“Are you tired? I’ll let you relax…”

As always, Shangguan Yutang’s eyes were slightly heavy, and he glanced at Zuo Lingquan, looking like he had been holding back for too long, and wanted to find something to beat him to relax his body and mind.

Zuo Lingquan sensed something was wrong, and quickly pulled his hand away, changing to the appearance of a serious boy, interlocking with Yutang’s ten fingers.

Only then did Shangguan Yutang put his eyes away, and Zuo Lingquan held his hand to walk, and said solemnly:

“Last time in the Land of Eternal Night, you published my relationship with you without the permission of the deity…”

Zuo Lingquan laughed and said, “Isn’t this very good? Anyone else dare to laugh at Lord Tangtang? I’ll take care of him.”

“That’s not true. The person who dares to laugh at me hasn’t been born yet.”

Shangguan Yutang originally wanted to make a majestic appearance and cheer up his wife, but after the battle, he was busy with work until now, and he couldn’t get enough of it, so he turned and said:

“I see Mei Jinshui, after living in the land of eternity with you, her attitude towards you has changed, and it seems that she still wants to enter…”

Zuo Lingquan was very frank, took Yutang’s hand and said seriously:

“I was helpless and desperate to protect Jinshui. She must have been moved. Well…Aren’t you afraid that outsiders will laugh at you? Mei Jinshui is a generation older than you, so I let her in, so that it won’t be you in the future. Standing alone on the cusp of the storm…”

?

Shangguan Yutang paused in footsteps and turned his head:

“You already let her in? Just go out for a few days?”

“Well, a man must act vigorously and resolutely when doing things, hiss…”

Before Zuo Lingquan could finish speaking, Tangtang grabbed his old waist and hurriedly raised his hand to beg for mercy.

Shangguan Yutang stared at Zuo Lingquan, fell silent for a while, and asked:

“Aren’t you afraid that Yingying will stab you to death?”

“Sister Yingying agreed.”

“…”

Shangguan Yutangrao expected that the counsellors could not beat Mei Jinshui, and was surprised at the speed at which counselors surrendered. Judging from this situation, there was no tentative resistance, which was far worse than Lingye.

The apprentice Cui Yingying accepted it, so Shangguan Yutang naturally didn’t say much, put away his hand, and said with a light snort:

“Alright. She used to be an elder, so she wasn’t rude, but now that she is under the deity’s hands, if she dares to be reckless and break the rules, I will let Ling Ye toss her to death.”

“Uh……”

“Uh what?”

“Ling Ye doesn’t necessarily have to fight too close to the water…”

Shangguan Yutang naturally knew that Lingye was single-handed and not a match for Mei Jinshui, so she said plainly:

“Isn’t there still me? As long as you don’t turn your elbows over there, even if she has a wrist, she has to be honest with me when she gets home, and the same goes for everyone else…”

Shangguan Yutang upholds his own style and puts his rhetoric seriously. The meaning is roughly – I don’t want to be the boss, but no one in the family can treat me as the second child, so they have to listen to me…

With Yutang’s aura, he could indeed sway most of the girls in the house, but Mei Jinshui was suspicious, and another was completely disobedient.

Before Shangguan Yutang could finish his sentence, a figure appeared in the back veranda of the main hall, and spoke from a distance:

“Mother-in-law, you’re a little crazy. You really think of yourself as the boss? We’ve been helping you these days. You’re here to cross the river and demolish the bridge right after you’re done, isn’t it appropriate?”

Zuo Lingquan looked up, but saw Jingxu trotting towards him, followed by the well-behaved group behind him.

Shangguan Yutang quietly loosened his clasped hands and regained his boss’s aura:

“You have slept for half a month, and the deity is busy with two purposes. What can you help?”

Tang Jingxuan quickly came to the front, hugged Zuo Lingquan’s arm directly, and touched him to see if the injury from the last battle was healed, and responded at the same time:

“I lent you my body, not to help? Did you give me money?”

“Did the deity borrow your body to use it?”

“Can that be the same? You lent me sex, and you are secretly comfortable; I lent you for office work, and I am still haggard…”

……

Zuo Lingquan walked between the two, without interrupting, but set his eyes on the dumplings.

As soon as Tuanzi changed his arrogance of “mother is not at home” when he was away, he followed behind with eight-character steps, and he didn’t dare to mess around. His peaceful appearance was similar to Zuo Lingquan who was in front of Yutang.

The three walked together for a while, but after a while, they saw the plum blossom forest by the lake. The girls were walking back and forth on the Huamei ferry, packing their things and preparing to return home.

When Shangguan Yutang saw this scene from a distance, he stopped talking, and a daze flashed in his eyes.

This time, when I went back, the real new daughter-in-law entered the door, and she completely became a Zuo family member.

She can be considered to have completely put down the burden that she had carried on her shoulders for three thousand years, returned to the village, and became a carefree little woman again, with a family, business, parents, mother, husband, and brothers and sisters.

About to embark on the journey of returning home, Shangguan Yutang can’t help but think of when he was four years old, when he lost everything about his ‘home’, and when he embarked on this long journey alone, he recalled the ambiguity and helplessness when he first walked out of the mountains. .

She never took a step back in her life, not because she was not afraid, but wanted to turn back several times, but behind her there was nothing but despair and sadness.

And now, behind it, there is another harbor.

He used to grit his teeth and scrambling to find his way around the world, trying to find a way to ‘home’, but he frequently hit a wall, until he reached the top of Jiuzhou and looked away, but found nothing.

But now the ‘homecoming’ came so suddenly, as if everything lost in childhood had come back naturally.

Shangguan Yutang looked at the ferry that was about to return home. After a long silence, he pulled Zuo Lingquan and turned to the south:

“Come out with me to relax.”

“Where to go to relax?”

Shangguan Yutang didn’t say a word, he rose up in the wind and floated toward the southern sky.

Tang Jingxuan and the ancestor were in a good mood, and felt the complicated emotions in Yutang’s heart, so they also flew up, and followed the dumplings with them.

When the Immortal Emperor went out to relax, the entire Jiuzhou could be said to be a back garden.

Zuo Lingquan was pulled by Yutang, soaring in the sky, and the light and shadow below could be seen changing. …

Shangguan Yutang stayed in the sky above the Eight Arms Xuanmen for a moment, and looked at the old ancestor’s grave below. After all, the surname of ‘Shangguan’ came from there, and then continued to fly south, like Yan returning home, once again came to the vast South Sea.

Zuo Lingquan had never been to this sea area, but he only felt that it was slightly warmer than the north. It was only in the spring of February, and the island he saw was already lined with green trees.

Three people and one bird, silently watching the beauty of the vast world, when the continent reappeared, they had come to a barren continent.

Half of the continent is arid desert, only on the front line of the sea, with mountains and green fields, animals and plants are very sparse, a few villages are scattered in the deep mountains and old forests, and small-scale cities can only be seen from a long distance.

Shangguan Yutang, who was flying in front, lowered his head to look carefully at the grass and trees below. He flew at a slower speed. He might be recalling every step he took carefully when he was young wearing straw sandals and carrying an iron rod.

At this time, a sturdy girl also emerged from Shangguan Yutang’s side, looked down at the familiar land, and said:

“Oh, hey! I’ve arrived at Shenxianling. There used to be a Taoist temple in this place. There lived a Taoist priest who pretended to be a **** to cheat money for incense. The Taoist priest got embarrassed, explained that he was not a god, and asked her to look elsewhere, but she also felt that the old **** felt that she had bad roots and had to help others to chop firewood and carry water…”

When the little mother dragon showed up, she began to babble and criticize Yutang’s dark history when he was a child.

And Shangguan Yutang rarely beat the little mother dragon. After all, it was too long ago, and she couldn’t remember some things. Every word the little mother dragon said represented a period of hardship and unyielding.

Tuanzi hated the little female dragon very much, and when she saw it, she started to fry and turned into a red ball.

Tang Jingxuan knew that Yutang was very hard when he was a child, and asked with the dumplings in his arms:

“What about the last?”

The little female dragon was very skinny, so she lay directly on Yutang’s back, hugged her neck and let it be carried on her back, and continued:

“In the end, the old Taoist Ao was moved, and he taught her a bunch of tricks and tricks, and asked her to go to the beach to find them; Tangtang relied on the tricks she learned to make money by setting up a stall and performing arts, but she couldn’t shout when she was bored, and few people watched it. In the end, it was she who played the flute and Benlong danced before eating. Benlong told you, she played the flute to death, and Benlong only twisted for more than two thousand miles because of her hunger. Until now, when I hear the flute, I want to shake my head…”

The story is very interesting.

But Zuo Lingquan couldn’t laugh, because he knew that Yutang was less than ten years old at that time, he was illiterate and had never been out of the mountains, how much hardship it took on the road and how much perseverance it took to survive, ordinary people can’t imagine at all. .

Shangguan Yutang never said a word, but quietly listened to the little female dragon recounting the ups and downs of the past. After flying along the coastline for a long time, he finally stopped in the middle of a mountain.

Three thousand years of vicissitudes, the villages that used to live on hunting have long been buried under the dust, and the mountains and fields have been covered with dead trees and vines.

But on the side of a hill, you can see a small farmyard, surrounded by vegetable fields and fences, and behind the yard there is an old tomb with a wordless monument in front of the tomb.

The little female dragon followed Yutang to the small courtyard and pointed to a hillside a few miles away:

“That’s where Benlong was caught by Tangtang. Good guy, I kept Benlong for a few hours…”

Zuo Lingquan landed in the small farmyard. It can be seen that no one has come here for a long time. He just arranged a formation to keep the yard clean and tidy; but from the traces, it was built later.

Shangguan Yutang landed in the courtyard, took out the incense, went to the wordless monument at the back, put on three sticks of incense, then returned to the main house, took three wooden benches, sat on it, and looked at the mountains in the distance .

Shangguan Yutang is very tall, sitting on the small bench in his childhood memory. His posture is not much different from sitting on the ground, but his eyes are very serious. A scene of what’s behind Fantasy Mountain.

Zuo Lingquan and Jingxun sat in front of them without disturbing Yutang.

Tuanzi was also quite good, but he couldn’t take it easy. After waiting for a while, he found the chicken coop in the yard, so he trotted over, got inside and tilted his head to look at it, probably recalling the chicken coop at Jingshen’s house.

As a result, the little female dragon ran over and closed the cage!

“Gee?!”

“Liuuuuuuu~ Little fat chick, can’t you come out?”

……

When Shangguan Yutang saw this scene, he smiled and said softly:

“This place was prepared by the deity to retire for the elderly after someone took over. I thought that I would be lonely and old for the rest of my life. I would be able to return to its roots in the twilight years. The merit has already been completed. I didn’t expect to walk and walk, and I will come to this day.”

Tang Jingxuan ignored Tuanzi’s cry for help, and responded with a smile: “I will grow up in my life, if I fall, I will rise, if there is bitterness, there will be ups and downs. There is no reason to be bitter all the time. Keep this place well, in case you will in the future. I was bullied and cried at home, but at least I have my parents back home.”

Shangguan Yutang didn’t think anyone could bully her and cry, but this place must be kept.

She looked left and right, got up and went back to the bedroom prepared for herself.

There is a bookshelf in the bedroom, and it is full of hot-blooded texts such as “Xiongba Valkyrie”, which is a collector’s edition for the future retirement, and she has never read it.

Shangguan Yutang raised his hand and waved, putting these private collections into his sleeves, and then turned around and said:

“Zuo Lingquan, come in.”

Zuo Lingquan got up and came into the house, glanced at the simple and tidy room, and asked:

“What’s the matter? Do you want to help?”

Shangguan Yutang showed a rare girlish air, spread out his arms, straightened his head in all directions, and fell on the bed, his eyes indicating:

“This place is clean, and Jiuzhou’s grievances and grievances can be thrown aside. No one will hear you no matter how loud you are. Come and help the deity to relax and vent.”

? !

Zuo Lingquan was taken aback for a moment, his deep and solemn expression suddenly became a little weird.

Tang Jingxuan was originally silent in the mood of returning home, but when she heard this, her eyes were wrong, so she quickly got up and ran into the house:

“Sao Granny, I thought you really came out to relax, but it turned out to be the idea behind Ling Ye and the others. With your physique, you are so mad to let Xiao Zuo help you vent? I will cry and cry later. , don’t beg for mercy.”

Shangguan Yutang leaned on the pillow. At this time, she was just a woman who had completely forgotten everything and her identity. She smiled and said:

“I’ve been busy for three thousand years, and I have to enjoy it. Zuo Lingquan, Lingye promises me a big reward. Today, I’m here to let you go. No matter how I cry, I don’t need to pay attention to me. As long as I’m not dead, go to the Fuck it.”

Tang Jingxuan kicked off her shoes consciously and lay down in front of Yutang:

“You can regret it later. Don’t worry, my sister is measured. When you really regret it, I will help you block two swords.”

“No, this deity wants to kill himself today. Zuo Lingquan, if I stand up by myself after I’m done, you will definitely be beaten and won’t be able to stand up. You can do it yourself.”

Zuo Lingquan’s eyes are very strange, and he feels that with the sensitive physique of the dignified adults, he is really wasting all his strength, and he may be in a coma for several days and nights.

But that’s all said, Yutang wanted to vent once and for all, and put an end to the repressed past. As a man, he naturally couldn’t refuse.

Zuo Lingquan closed the door, came to the sisters who were lying together, stretched his muscles and bones:

“Then I’m welcome.”

Shangguan Yutang hooked his fingers.

Tang Jingxuan also shyly waited.

Zuo Lingquan shook his head and smiled, then leaned in front of him in a hurry, leaned closer to Yutang’s cheek, and didn’t forget to squeeze twice at the same time…

The warm spring sun shone among the lush mountains.

The farmyard was silent at first, but slowly, affectionate words and murmurs rang out.

The voice was very relaxed, and he was alone and focused, just immersed in the warmest thoughts of love.

Lang’s love and concubine, laughter and laughter, but in an instant ~www.mtlnovel.com~ turned the deep mountains and forests that buried suffering and desolation into a peach blossom garden full of spring.

The scene is very beautiful, it is fascinating, and it also makes people confused, mysterious and fascinated.

But the only fly in the ointment is a sturdy girl who sneakily lies at the window and listens to the wall.

Fortunately, the people in the house were very alert, but after a short while, the sturdy girl collapsed on the opposite hill with one finger.

“Gee! Gee! Gee!…”

On top of the chicken coop, there was a big fluffy white ball. Seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but “jiji!” He held his belly and laughed.

In the end, he was also reprimanded in shame and shoved to the opposite hill.

“Gee…”

“I’ll make you laugh, have you been kicked out? Benlong is an immortal soldier, he’s not hungry, what do you do…”

“jijiji…”

“Let’s go, Benlong will take you to find fruit to eat, remember that there is a snake letter fruit in front of you, it’s sour and sweet, it’s especially delicious…”

“Gee~”

……

In the spring breeze, the sturdy girl carried a small wooden stick and walked towards the mountains where the grass grows and the warbler with the big white bird jumping.

This situation is exactly the same as the scene where the four-year-old girl brought a little female snake into the mountain to pick fruits.

It was also at this moment that the little girl, who was standing against the sky with her shoulders and feet on the ground, gritted her teeth and walked alone for thousands of years, really returned home and ushered in her own spring…
