The Spirit World

Chapter 256 The bonfire is connected to the stars.

Twelve years ago, black flames burned the earth and destroyed the desire for life of thousands of households in [Moose Village]. An "ominous child" from Mousse Village came into being.

As the only remaining member of the Mousse Village, Chang Yufeng was held in the arms of a short rabbit man.

Amidst the roaring flames, the rabbit man [Dada] was standing on the ruins, gasping heavily. He was exhausted and could only stare at the enemy in front of him with one drooping eye.

Wind and snow intertwined to form fog, cold and death were pouring down tragically, the great snowstorm enveloped the whole body of the owner of the strange sword, the pale scene burned the black flames out one after another!

"We're here!" Bachi opened the car door, and Crescent Moon Lake, a clear spring stream covered by the moon, appeared in front of everyone. Crescent Moon Lake, as the name suggests, is the part of the stream surrounded by high ground. It is about two people wide, but the depth is bottomless.

There were caravans sitting quietly all around, with only a very small number of ronin sitting alone by the clear spring. Most of them looked at the newcomers, and from time to time some of them talked about why they came here - the big scorpion on the small stove was scary.

Chang Yufeng saw Bachi going to knock on the door of the second car and immediately followed him. Xun Huangying sat on Chang Yufeng's shoulder, leaning against Chang Yufeng's neck in an extremely lazy state.

"Please get out of the car, Ms. Karen. And Ms. Chen Lin." Bachi knocked on the door gently. As the commander of the entire team, he was very concerned about this commission. Karen had a total of 12 subordinates, and he had no way to give them orders. Therefore, many things needed to be asked to Karen. For example, they needed to take turns patrolling and settling the team during the collective rest. It would definitely not be possible to let the Wolf Fang Guild do it alone.

He saw Chang Yufeng and glanced over his shoulder. Xun Huangying scratched his head and accidentally opened one of his braids. The night wind was blowing hard, so Xun Huangying simply adjusted his hairstyle.

"Ms. Kallen!"

Butch was puzzled for a moment, then knocked twice on the carriage door, and this time there was movement.

The door of the carriage opened slowly, and a pair of small red shoes stepped out of the steps. Lin'er was carrying her sword on her back, and her purple dress swayed in the white wind. She had a slightly gloomy face, with the corners of her mouth turned down. She stood there for a second as if she was upset, and then she saw Chang Yufeng and jumped down by holding the wall of the carriage.

Only then did Bach see Kallen sitting in the car. Kallen was fanning herself gently and putting on her veil again, revealing her elf-like green eyes.

She tilted her head slightly, stopped fanning herself, and replied lazily, "I understand, Mr. Bachi."

Bucky was originally watching Lin'er get off the car, but only looked at Karen after Karen called him.

"Okay, Ms. Kallen, we're going to set up a ladies' bathroom now. If you have any other questions, you can talk to me."

Seeing that Karen had no intention of getting out of the car, Bachi gave a few simple instructions and closed the door.

"Are you crying?" Lin'er looked at Chang Yufeng and quickly glanced at Xun Huangying. Xun Huangying squinted one eye and looked at her with interest.

"What?" Chang Yufeng shook his head hurriedly: "No."

"But I heard you crying..."

Lin'er patted her skirt. There was no dust on it, but no one knew what she was patting.

"I'm not crying, it's just... do you have super hearing ears..."

Chang Yufeng neither answered nor concealed anything. Crying was not a trivial matter, especially in front of Lin'er. It was not okay to cry in front of a familiar girl.

"Ha, my ears are really sharp." Lin'er was a little proud. She closed her hands together, making a slight snapping sound, then stretched and squinted her eyes lazily: "I knew you were crying. Who of them bullied you? Why did you, a grown man, cry?"

"What? No!" Chang Yufeng was about to explain, and Shirley and Mami Tomoe came here and looked at Chang Yufeng and Lin'er with a very amused look.

They didn't say anything either, just looked at the two of them and smiled at each other.

This strange feeling made Chang Yufeng blush. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "How can anyone bully me... Who am I... Right?"

Lin Er pursed her lips and smiled evilly, standing straight with joy: "Of course I know you won't cry. Really."

She placed her hand on Chang Yufeng's other shoulder, looked at Tomoe Mami and Shirley, and said to them with a smile: "This guy is like this, you have to take good care of him."

As soon as these words were spoken, Shirley and Mami both laughed, and their laughter attracted the attention of the crowd.

After these words were spoken, Chang Yufeng felt even more shy. Sweat began to break out on his forehead, and he hurriedly pulled Lin'er to run into the crowd.

Although it was just to avoid the "topic", Chang Yufeng obviously didn't know where to run with Lin'er.

"Don't run around!" Bachi had just stood behind Mami when he saw this scene and shouted loudly, "Don't forget to gather!"

Chang Yufeng turned back while running, and laughed loudly with Lin'er: "I know——"

They held hands and ran faster. Although Chang Yufeng was pulling Lin'er, Lin'er was leaning forward and it was hard to tell whether she was pulling Chang Yufeng or Chang Yufeng was pulling her.

They walked through a group of extremely strong orcs, passed by the fluttering long skirts of the elves, bypassed the newly set up tents under the watchful eyes of the Chinese merchants and guards, and shuttled through the swaying jellyfish. Horses panted, butterflies fluttered, and noisy vendors and entangled buyers all passed by them.

This place is small, but it gathers all kinds of lives. Chang Yufeng only knows to run away from those "chatters" - a boy crying - he slowly stopped, not knowing where to go, just want to stay away from Mami and Shirley who know about this.

This is really embarrassing for boys.

"Look! There's a bonfire! People are dancing! Singing!"

Lin'er immediately saw a place where she could take Chang Yufeng to, even if it was this small Crescent Moon Pond.

There was indeed a bonfire burning in the direction of her finger. Looking over there, people of all kinds of tribes gathered there, sitting around it in layers, swaying gently.

Look, in front of the bright bonfire, a girl in a white dress is shining like the bright moon. A wisp of light wind happens to dance and lifts up her left foot slowly to the top of her head. The toe of her right foot is also touched by the wind and touches the small platform illuminated by the flames.

It seemed as if there was a playful breeze lifting her arms up, and suddenly, her long skirt began to spin, and her toes began to jump on the small stage. Her left foot and right foot were as straight as willows, alternating again and again, like a dragonfly skimming the water, causing ripples on the water.

A beautiful lotus flower blooming beside the bonfire scattered its petals in the air, flickering one by one, competing with the wind and shining with the moon.

Spin!

jump!

Every step is a success!

Whistles, shouts, cheers, and exclamations broke out at the same time; before the dance stopped, more and more people came forward.

Lin'er pulled Chang Yufeng through the crowded crowd one by one, and amid their cheers, relying on her small size, they finally arrived in front of the bonfire.

The white lotus petals fluttered against their faces and turned into a cool breeze that passed by.

For a moment, Chang Yufeng truly felt a sense of physical and mental comfort that penetrated his heart and reached his face.

He looked pleased and relaxed as he peeked at Lin'er's reaction, but Lin'er had already been looking at him and told him to sit down with a smirk on her face.

Everyone sat down. Chang Yufeng thought that Lin'er must have met this kind of travelers who could dance by the campfire during her journey. They wandered around the spirit world, they were born with beautiful red hair, and they had a resounding name.

【Giorgios people】

Chang Yufeng suddenly realized that Xun Huangying had disappeared at some point. He was no longer on his shoulder, and he was completely unaware of it as he was busy running to the campfire with Lin'er.

"Lin'er...where is this..." Chang Yufeng was about to ask, but Lin'er touched his lips with her slender hand.

"Hush..." Lin'er's smirk turned into a different kind of joy: "Listen..." Okay...

Chang Yufeng looked around and everyone was quiet for a moment. They closed their eyes and melodious singing slowly came.

[The wind blows, the moon is bright, and the beauty of the mountains and rivers captivates my heart]

[The way home is right before my eyes ~ I am intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds. ]

A tune sung by someone unknown slowly rose amid the sound of sparks from the bonfire.

[Stars in the sky are shining into my mortal world~]

There are shocking drum beats.

【Transform mountains, rivers, and my heart～】

Xiao Di echoed this.

[Wandering here ~ I am a homeless and rootless bird ~]

There are strings and harps.

[How can it be hard for a guest who is in a foreign land to leave with deep feelings?]

[The wind is rustling, the rain is rustling, disturbing my desire to go home~]

The petals are floating in the air, and people can seem to see the petals lingering around their chests with their eyes closed, lingering for a long time.

[The wind is rustling, the rain is rustling, disturbing my desire to go home~]

The song was as continuous as the mountains, resounding from the woman's chest, and the elegy fell to the ground as lightly as a song of joy.

Chang Yufeng didn't quite understand the meaning of this song. It was probably sung by someone who was homesick, but the sadness was sung with a cheerful feeling.

He opened his eyes and looked at Lin'er surrounded by flower petals, only to see Lin'er shedding tears of emotion.

Does she understand this song?

Seeing Lin'er crying secretly, Chang Yufeng closed his eyes again.

Listen to the clear song of the weeping stranger.

【When you come, you are accompanied by the wind; when you leave, you are bid farewell to me. 】

[The yellow flowers and red face in my youth are like a tomb, how can I think of a pile of withered graves, tomorrow I will have white hair and sing today. ]

With this tune, another female voice started to sing, responding slowly.

Only then could Chang Yufeng hear the sadness in the song, but only a little. He was born and raised in Wenti County, and the Crescent Lake where he was now was nothing more than an open space by a stream in Wenti County.

He is not a stranger.

This inevitably made it impossible for him to empathize with other people, but he could still understand. Looking around, he saw that everyone here was a stranger, the Chinese, the people of the Principality, the people of the Beast Country, the elves, and some other races whose specific names he didn't know. How could they have so much sense of belonging to Wenti County where Chang Yufeng was?

After all, their home is not in Wenti County. The Arc Forest and the Crescent Lake in Wenti County are just scenery that Chang Yufeng has seen since he was a child.

Just like the strange trees on the street, I take a look at them every time I pass by, but I can’t say that I have any special feelings for them.

These outsiders were completely different. They gathered together spontaneously, lit a bonfire, danced around it, and sang songs they had never heard of before along with people from different ethnic groups. They must have recognized the common point that they were all homeless.

But there were also people without empathy shouting about food and goods outside the bonfire. They were enthusiastic about the crowd and were real businessmen.

But there is no need to worry too much about others. Chang Yufeng is not that empathetic, and it is not sincere to blame yourself too much and cry.

Chang Yufeng just looked at Lin'er. He felt that Lin'er's beauty was too dazzling. Her tears were like crystal rain falling on beautiful flowers, making the beauty of the flowers even more shining.

Lin'er is such a shining person.

"It's great." Lin Er wiped away her tears and praised: "It sounds great."

"Yeah, very good."

"Brother Yufeng, do you think it sounds good too?"

"Of course, it sounds good."

Lin'er laughed happily after hearing this. Instead of crying, she laughed generously and her giggles were even more hearty.

“The travel culture of the Giorgos people is still admirable.”

Bachi took advantage of the two people's inattention and sat next to Chang Yufeng: "It is said that they make a living by doing this wherever they go."

Bachi threw a gold coin into the top hat beside the campfire. Chang Yufeng and Lin'er then saw that the beautiful dancer was blowing a kiss to Bachi.

This is their way of thanking the strange man.

Baqi waved and smiled as he was kissed by the beauty. "That dance was really beautiful."

Mami Tomoe and Shirley also sat next to Lin'er. Behind them stood the people from the Wolf Fang Guild. Chang Yufeng noticed that Kaili had also returned.

Xun Huangying was holding a whole chicken and standing on the shoulders of the big guy Tilong, gnawing on it happily. Chang Yufeng looked at him and shook his head, but Xun Huangying felt that he was shaking his head inexplicably, and his original big bites turned into doubtful big bites.

"The Giorgos people, I never thought they could do business in a place like Yueya Lake. They are really amazing."

Li Xiangyi supported her waist and looked at the dancer. Her beautiful red hair was revealed between the jumping of the bonfire. Chang Yufeng then realized that it was the fiery red hair color, not the color reflected by the bonfire.

"Giorgios."

Mami Tomoe was munching on a small piece of bread. She seemed to know, but didn't say anything.

"Yes, the Giorgios people. Almost a hundred years ago, the war destroyed their only home, and they had to wander outside." Bachi threw another gold coin into the air, and the gold coin fell into the dancer's top hat in a beautiful arc over everyone's head.

The beautiful red-haired dancer cast a joyful look over here and bowed happily.

This time, everyone looked at her and nodded slightly in greeting.

"Then where did they originally live?" Shirley also slowly ate some biscuits and stuffed them into Lin'er's hands.

"[Tamocha]!" Li Xiangyi touched Shirley's head and looked seriously at the Giorgios people around the campfire. There were four of them running among the onlookers. "However, children only need to know that it is dangerous there. Adults with special skills will not be able to escape death if they go there."
