"Great! There must be a lot of fish! Let Klee use the bouncing bombs to blow them out!"
After saying that, Klee took out her bouncing bomb and threw it into the river.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang and a splash of water nearly 10 meters high.
Xavier, who was arguing with Hu Tao and Furina, was frightened and quickly pulled Keli back.
"Keli, Brother Xavier has already said that frying fish is not allowed on Blue Star."
Xavier sighed. Children really have no memory.
"But Brother Xavier, there's no one else here, and there's such a big river!"
Klee was confused and didn't understand why she was not allowed to fry the fish.
"Look, are there any fish here?"
Klee looked around and found that she hadn't caught any fish, feeling a little disappointed.
"Hmm~"
Her little ears drooped and she shook her head.
Xavier has fundamentally solved the problem of frying fish. Since there is no fish, of course there is no need to fry it.
"Klee, your bouncing bombs are awesome!"
At first, Xiaoman was also shocked, but after she came to her senses, she was not afraid. Instead, she praised Keli.
"Sister Xiaoman also likes Klee's bouncing. Klee has a lot more!"
Keli took out another bouncing bomb from her backpack and handed it to Xiaoman.
"Sister Xiaoman, this bouncing bomb was just designed by Klee. It hasn't been loaded with explosives yet, so it won't explode."
"Thank you, Klee."
Xiaoman happily took the bomb, which looked very delicate.
As time passed, the sun gradually set in the west.
A red sunset appeared on the horizon, like a burning flame.
"Wow, the sunset is so beautiful today!"
When Hu Tao saw such a beautiful scenery, she jumped up and down and called for everyone to enjoy it together.
Perhaps because she had been playing for a whole day, Xiaoman, who was already weak, felt worse and worse.
She and Hu Tao sat by the river, letting the water splash against the rocks.
The setting sun is reflected on the Yangtze River, like another sky.
As the ship passed by, the fiery-colored river water rippled to both sides.
"How beautiful…"
Looking at this scene, Xiaoman murmured softly.
"It's really beautiful, and the scenery is completely different from Liyue." Hu Tao swung her feet.
Xiaoman turned around and asked, "Master, is the scenery in Liyue more beautiful than here? Is the sunset different too?"
"Well~" Hu Tao said after thinking for a moment, "Actually, each has its own merits. Although Liyue's scenery is also very beautiful, this place is not bad either."
As if noting the discrepancy between her answer and Xiaoman's thoughts, Hu Tao asked, "Ah, I know you must think Liyue's scenery is more beautiful, right?"
Xiaoman nodded.
"In fact, I understood one thing a long time ago. Hehe, guess what it is?"
Hu Tao blinked her beautiful plum blossom eyes and looked at Xiaoman.
Xiaoman had no idea and could only shake her head.
"That is, there is no most beautiful scenery, only more beautiful scenery."
"But people are always greedy, always wanting to see the most beautiful scenery in the world."
"But they don't realize that life is short, the roads we can travel are limited, and the scenery we can see is endless."
At this time, the setting sun was about to fall into the river, making the river surface even more fiery red.
Xiaoman was a little surprised. She didn't expect the hall master to ask such a thought-provoking question.
Before Xiaoman could explain what Hu Tao meant, Hu Tao spoke again.
"I sometimes feel unhappy and worried about not being able to find customers."
"And that guy Zhongli, he always sends me bills for no reason, so annoying!"
"But you see, I am always happy every day, because I will forget bad things very quickly, hehe!"
Xiaoman's eyes were filled with envy and admiration.
If someone else said these words, she would just think they were bragging.
But Hu Tao is different. Behind every cheerful word she says, there is a painful past.
Just imagine, a little girl lost all her relatives in her childhood, and on top of that she had to support the entire Hall of Rebirth.
And because of the special nature of Wangsheng Hall, Hu Tao's incomplete childhood will definitely become even worse.
She deals with the dead and ghosts all year round, so it is impossible for ordinary children to be friends with her.
It is precisely because Xiaoman is plagued by illness that she understands how rare it is for Hu Tao to have such a character.
She may not be a phoenix reborn from the ashes, but she is a butterfly that floats freely among the flames.
While Xiaoman was stunned, Hu Tao stood up.
She stretched herself and spoke calmly about her feelings.
"As human beings, we will always encounter some troubles, but it is enough for good things to happen."
"Just like this hall master, every time I see the sunset, I feel it is so magical. Why is there such a beautiful scenery in the world?"
For some reason, although Xiaoman was very weak, she felt an inexplicable force spreading within her body.
Maybe the body cannot recover, but the spiritual world is more fulfilled and rich than ever before.
"Of course, the most important thing is the people around you."
"Xiangling, who loves to try food with me, Xingqiu and Chongyun, who love to whisper, and oh, Qiqi, who talks so slowly!"
"Later, I met Zhongli and the traveler, and heard many amazing stories from them."
Hu Tao turned around and said, "Isn't it amazing that Xavier came to Blue Star and became your friend?"
"Um..."
Xiaoman nodded and cried, but her face was filled with an extremely happy smile.
"So, in my opinion, the most beautiful scenery is always right in front of you, with the company of your family and friends!"
After Hu Tao finished speaking, she sat back down next to Xiaoman, and the sunset completely disappeared into the river.
Xiaoman leaned weakly on Hu Tao's shoulder, waiting for the night to fall.
Hall Master, so this is the true meaning of life.
But why are my eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and why did it suddenly get dark?
When Xiaoman regained consciousness, she felt the familiar atmosphere of the hospital.
"The patient's values are decreasing, take emergency measures!"
The doctor's hurried voice was in her ears.
Am I going to leave this world after all?
But Master, I am no longer afraid of death.
Thank you, Hu Tao.
"beep..."
As the electrocardiogram turned into a straight line, Xiaoman faced death in the true sense of life.
The doctors and nurses stopped what they were doing and bowed their heads in silence.
…
But will it really end here?
In the emergency room, a green light that was invisible to the naked eye passed by and finally landed on Xiaoman.
In the corner of the hospital, Xavier smiled faintly and said, "Fortunately, the fever has just reached the standard, so we caught up."
At the same time, the system prompt sounded.
