Chapter 189: Happiness here, long life without end
The setting sun is setting, surrounded by a white lake. The golden afterglow falls on the large temple on the mountain, casting a magnificent and magnificent shadow of the lake. The devout prayers converge into a low hum that echoes throughout the white stone capital. And in
In the Prince's house in the lake, the shadow of the setting sun is also setting on the lake, and the loud eagle cry is also heard, as melodious as the distant mountains.
"Yo! Yo yo!"
A flying golden eagle fluttered down from the high sky, then suddenly stopped and proudly dropped a half-meter-long fish. Then, it folded its wingspan of nearly three meters and stood proudly.
At first, it was waiting for the praises of its owners. However, it waited for a long time, but did not get the caress and exclamations it wanted.
"Chirp? Chirp?..."
The big golden eagle tilted its head strangely, and with its round eyes that could see the smallest detail, it saw two overlapping owners. And the hateful male owner actually grabbed the female owner's hand and blocked her mouth.
It’s simply “bad”!…
"Choo Choo Choo!"
The large golden eagle flapped its wings dissatisfiedly, creating bursts of strong wind. The rose bushes blooming by the lake were also swept by the powerful wings, causing bright red and lavender petals to fly.
"Ah! Little Avelot! Those are my favorites, the red rose and the blue rose!...Ah!...Xulot, wait a moment, wait a moment...um! You!..."
Seeing the flying petals, Alyssa's eyes widened. She pushed Hulot hard and was about to sit up from the large cloth blanket. But as soon as she stood up, she was caught by a big hand again.
When she went back, her voice stopped, leaving only an inaudible nasal sound. After a while, she blushed and pushed her husband away fiercely. Then she breathed "poof" several times and cursed angrily.
.
"Hoo, ho!...Xulot, you bad monkey! It's not even dark yet! Why are you anxious? There's so much bad water...Little Avelot, listen to me, go pounce on that bad guy!!..."
"Ugh!...Little Avelot! It's me!..."
"Choo Choo Choo!"
Shulot was panting heavily, and before he could sit still, he was thrown to the carpet by the majestic golden eagle Avelot.
I haven’t seen him for many years. Avelot is already ten years old. He is a large raptor in his prime. With a wingspan of nearly three meters and a weight of nearly twenty kilograms, he is stronger than the average male golden eagle.
.In its diet, it even includes coyotes and jaguars in the jungle, and the sky over the entire lake city is its territory.
"Uh!...Little Avelot! Stop rushing, let me get up..."
"Yo yo! yo!"
At this moment, among the orders of the two masters, the golden eagle Avelot did not hesitate and chose the female master who always took care of him, rather than the male master who just left him alone. However, it has the appearance of a five-year-old child.
IQ, I know the male master's appearance, so I put away my sharp claws and just kept flapping my wings to prevent Shulot from getting up.
"Haha! Bad monkey, let you bully me! Hehe! Let you try it too, how it feels to be knocked down... Okay, okay! Avelot, stop jumping, let him get up... Well, good boy
, come here! Come to my side..."
"YoYo!"
After hearing the order from the hostess, Avelot folded its wings happily, raised its head proudly, and landed next to Alyssa. Alyssa stretched out her hand lovingly and rubbed its round little head.
, hugged and kissed her again.
“Yo!…chirp?…”
Avelot happily shook its little head and turned 360 degrees. But its eyes soon widened, and it came to Alyssa's face with some confusion, and sniffed carefully with its insensitive nose. Obviously
It was held in the arms of the mistress and kissed, so how could it smell the scent of the man?
"Ahem!...Little Avelot, you actually have so much strength..."
Shulot stood up awkwardly. He dusted off the eagle feathers on his body and put on a protective robe. Then, he walked to Alyssa, touched his wife's swollen cheek, and smiled apologetically.
, and rubbed the little golden eagle’s head.
"Little Avelot, you were so close to me when you were a child, and now you are like this. It makes me so sad...Eh!...Xiaoqing?!..."
“Hiss!…”
“Tweet!…”
Little Avelot's hair suddenly exploded, his head turned 270 degrees, and he stared at the flowers by the lake. A water snake more than two meters long and as thick as an arm slowly crawled out of the lake.
It first raised its cold eyes and stared at the majestic golden eagle. Then it turned its head and slid closer. It shook its half-suspended snake head, explored its forked tongue, and smelled Shulot carefully.
The smell of his body suddenly bounced up from the grass and entangled the owner's legs.
"Lord God! Xiaoqing, you are already so big!..."
Shulot stretched out his hand and felt the cold and smooth touch on his body. He let the green snake crawl from his legs to his arms, and finally wrapped it around his shoulders, making a happy "▽". Unknowingly, Ten
Years have passed, and Xiao Qing has grown from a small one to a big snake in the lake. However, compared with the rapidly growing little golden eagle, its current size is actually a bit inferior.
"Haha! Since little Avelot has brought fish, let us eat fish tonight!...Alyssa, let me do it myself and grill you two delicious grilled fish!..."
As the sun sets over the lake, a bonfire rises in the courtyard, wafting the aroma of grilled fish. The Texcoco lake breeze blows from the east, bringing a faint salty smell, just like the wind from the sea.
These salty and moist winds come not only from the salt lake on the east side divided by the long dike, but also from the natural salt ponds in the southeast of the lake area. Lake salt and well salt are both important outputs of the Texcoco Lake District and an important product of the Mexica Union.
One of the trade items. Tonight's grilled fish was naturally made with Texcoco Lake salt that has been improved and filtered by Xiulote to become white and delicate.
“Hiss!…”
“Tweet!…”
The golden eagle and the green snake were on the left and the right, each eating their own share of raw fish, and they got together in a rare quiet time. And Shulot and Alyssa were sitting between the golden eagle and the green snake, leaning against the pale
Under the fragrant metasequoia tree. They cuddled up against each other, each taking a bite, sharing the crispy and slightly spicy grilled fish, and smelling the familiar and reassuring smell of each other.

At this moment, they leaned on their shoulders and watched the last ray of sunset, which was gradually dyed by the black night sky. They also leaned on their cheeks and listened to the evening breeze.
The chirping of cicadas is like an audible heartbeat. Their heartbeats beat very fast when they are close to each other, and become longer and longer when they are close to each other, as if they are flowing with different melodies, but they fit together so perfectly.
Together.
"Xulot, do you know?...I have always missed you over the years...I really want to stay with you like this, until..."
"ah?!…"
Listening to Alyssa's whisper, Shulot's usually hard heart suddenly began to throb softly. He turned sideways, held his soft and mature wife tightly in his arms. Then, he looked at Alyssa.
Lisa asked seriously with her eyes.
"Until...what?..."
"Well...until...the sun sets and the sky becomes very dark. And we...are like our ancestors, turning into stars in the sky and clinging to each other forever!..."
"Huh? Become a star in the sky?..."
Shulot blinked his eyes, looking past the ends of Alyssa's pulled-up hair, and looking at the stars in the Central American night sky. Those stars were so gorgeous, so densely packed, and stuck together tightly for thousands of years.
until today.
"Alyssa, the stars in the sky look very close, but they are actually very far away..."
"Ah? Are the stars far away from each other?... Then are our ancestors also far away from each other?..."
"Um…"
Shulot just stared at the starry sky for a moment, and then he discovered a brilliance that was more charming than the starry sky, and that was his wife's eyes that were very close at hand. Those eyes seemed to contain a river of stars, looking at him with such light. And
In that bright river, only his shadow was reflected, making him deeply fascinated by it, longing for endless exploration...
"Alyssa, my wife, I also want to accompany you... Just like the most sacred twin temples on the towering Great Pyramid... They stand side by side at the highest point in the world!... Until..."
"Ah! The highest one, the Twin Temples?...Hmm...until what?..."
"Until the sea dries up and turns into fields. The mountains split open and turn into rivers. Heaven and earth join together..."
"stop!…"
Alyssa fluttered her eyes, feeling her husband's heartbeat, and looking into his deep eyes. She wanted to see through the sea-like fog, all the way to the depths of Shulot's heart, to see the man who had been engraved in her
In my heart, my soul is extremely clear.
"The Lord God witnesses! Shulot, I listen to your heart! Don't talk empty words!..."
"Well…"
Hearing this, Shulot pursed his lips and thought for a while before speaking again. This time, he was extremely serious and frank. And in this world, who can make him so frank now... maybe
, Alyssa is the only one left...
"Witness the Lord God! I will stay with you until we die, until we are buried together... buried in the Moon Pyramid of the Holy City..."
"Ah? After death, will he be buried in the Pyramid of the Moon? Well, won't he be buried in the royal temple?..."
"Yes... the Pyramid of the Moon, that is the place where I was born, and it is also where I will return..."
Under the brilliant stars, Shulot nodded sincerely. He held his wife's hand firmly and whispered his promise of eternal death.
"Alyssa, after I die, I will definitely be buried in the Pyramid of the Moon. And if you die, you will definitely be buried with me, buried there... Do you remember?..."
"Ah! Let us die and be buried together in the Pyramid of the Moon... Okay! Shulot, I remember it!..."
Hearing Shulot's words, Alyssa was stunned for a moment, and nodded heavily. She repeated her lover's words, her body became inexplicably warm, and her eyes became foggy. Then, she raised her wet eyes and came closer.
Shulote gently licked his ear and whispered.
"Xulot, it's getting dark..."
"Ah? It's dark?..."
"Well...it's getting dark...Moon, it's time to go home...Stars, I want to be bullied..."
"ah!…"
A bright full moon rose from the east and slowly fell into the deep night sky. The stars in the night sky blinked and were lost in the vast galaxy.
"YoYo!"
The golden eagle Avelot made a sweet cry and flew into the sky. The sky is its territory and the place it desires to conquer.
"Hiss!"
The green snake Xiaoqing slid its long snake body and slowly sank into the deep lake bottom. The bottom of the lake is its home and the place where it is accustomed to sleeping.
The night is long and home is far away. On the long road home, my lover is by my side...
