Ju Caoye raised her head and glanced at the sky. Although the sky was still leaden gray, she could feel that it was almost nightfall.
The closer it gets to night, the colder the wind blows, which makes Jucao Ye's body tremble all the time.
She gritted her teeth and carried a cloth bag on her back. The rattan whip maintained the balance of the bag, shivered, and continued to move forward.
Shortly after Luther and Mai left, Jucaoye finally completed his fruit picking work.
Ju Caoye has seen many travelers passing through the woods where she lives. She can only shrink back, stick her head out, observe carefully, and wait for them to leave.
Sometimes she had to abandon her tree hole and find a safe nest to live in for a few days. However, when she returned to her tree hole, there was only a mess waiting for her.
The chrysanthemum leaves sorted out the fruits that had been torn to pieces many times.
"There is always something left for me to eat." She always comforted herself.
Her aspirations were not high, it was enough for her to have a full stomach and a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Yesterday was probably the most dangerous day. Two trainers followed her footsteps and blocked her at the entrance of the cave. Their blue spherical elf also snatched her fruit. She was prepared for the worst, but everything
None of it happened.
They gave themselves delicious food and rare green berries, but asked for nothing.
Two weirdos…
She discarded all the ones that were about to go bad and threw out the ones that didn't taste good. Those fresh, beautiful and especially delicious tree fruits were put into the cloth bag she found by chrysanthemum leaves.
Carrying the bag, she chased Luther and Mai in the direction they left. She originally thought that she would be able to see them soon as long as she ran with all her strength. However, except for some busy elves walking through the woods along the way, she didn't see anyone.
.
She hesitated for a long time outside the canyon, circling anxiously, wondering if she was not looking in the right direction.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and rushed into the canyon.
It's not that she never thought about why she took her best fruit and went all the way to find those two people. She wanted to find a reasonable reason, but in the end she found that she had found it, but she didn't know how to describe that feeling.
Probably because he felt that the juice the young man gave him was delicious and he felt very comfortable when he touched him.
The blanket that the girl covered herself with was very warm and smelled good.
So of course she wanted to give them her best things to try. These treasured tree fruits were collected since the chrysanthemum leaves came into autumn. In her opinion, these are the best things in the world.
But how to describe this feeling... She is very distressed, she has never been very smart.
The body can understand this emotion better than the brain. She lowered her head due to the cold wind, but her steps did not stop.
After walking out of the canyon, the lights on the plain shone brightly in the eyes of the chrysanthemum leaves. She opened her eyes so wide that she even forgot about the bag at this moment and just dropped it to the ground.
She had never seen such a view.
In the dark wilderness, there are continuous lights and sharp-edged buildings, and fireworks shoot out from above those buildings from time to time.
A streak of orange-red fireworks bloomed in the air, like a huge flower blooming in the night sky. The colorful petals shone in the eyes of the chrysanthemum leaves. She stretched out her hand forward, subconsciously wanting to touch this wonderful flower.
view.
She has lived in the woods since she was born, and has only heard descriptions of the outside world from some other elves.
"It's very, very big, more than ten times bigger than our forest."
At that time, the snake tail bear waved its paws and gestured to tell the chrysanthemum grass leaf.
Is this the view of a world ten times larger than a forest?
The stunned Ju Caoye came back to his senses, shook his head fiercely, and picked up the bag again.
No, no, you have to keep walking.
The ground was no longer the rugged mountain road that Ju Caoye had seen, nor was it a deep path filled with the smell of earth. Stepping on the cement floor, Ju Caoye stamped his feet vigorously, with a confused look on his face.
The further she walked, the more Jucaoye felt something was wrong. As she looked around, she felt as if she was being stared at by something in the darkness.
Pretending not to care, she walked cautiously toward the light not far away.
The sound of flapping wings made Jucaoye fall to the ground, quickly turning the leaves on his head, and waving the vine whip randomly to protect himself.
The Owls and Cuckoos, Pidgeots and Pidgeots, the Toucan and the Spearow who were eating in the dark looked blankly at the chrysanthemum leaves beating the air, not even the elven food prepared by the townspeople.
have eaten.
The bird looked at the owl, and the owl looked at the toucan. The toucan didn't know who it was looking at, so it could only stare at the spear next to it.
Spearow is sweating profusely. Wasn't it the boss who was just flapping his wings and stretching his muscles...
Seeing that there was no movement around, Jucaoye opened her eyes carefully, and found that the fruits were scattered on the ground. She frantically looked for the fruits everywhere.
After working for a while, Chrysanthemum Leaf, with a fruit in its mouth, put its head into the bag, only to find that the quantity was still small.
Anxiously, she lowered her head and searched in the darkness.
Several vague oval outlines appeared in front of them. Jucaoye rushed over happily and put the fruit into his bag with a smile.
"Bah chi", "croak", "kaka".
Jucaoye broke into a cold sweat and raised her head.
The owl, the eagle, and the toucan looked at the chrysanthemum leaves with interest while swallowing their food.
Jucaoye trembled and wanted to turn around and run away, but stepped on a corner of the bag and fell to the ground.
The three flying elves were stunned, looked at each other, and said they had done nothing. Then they all looked at the Spearow closest to the chrysanthemum leaf.
Spearow shook his head desperately in fear, and then buried himself in the elf food like an ostrich.
The owl couldn't stand it anymore and came to Jucaoye and patted her with its wings.
Ju Caoye, who was still sobbing, cried loudly, and the sound made the owl's whole body become alert.
The eagle and the big-billed bird looked at the owl with disdain, fully expressing their meanings, such as bullying children is shameless, can you do it, you are a loser, and so on.
The owl helplessly coaxed Chrysanthemum Leaf, assuring her that they meant absolutely no harm, and asked Gugu to help pick up the scattered fruits on the ground.
To put it bluntly, even the eagle and the big-billed bird came to put down the food in their mouths to coax the chrysanthemum leaves. When they saw the owl pushing themselves in front of the large pot of fairy food, they looked at the eagle and the big-billed bird to signal.
After eating together, Jucaoye finally felt relieved, turned his tears into a smile, and swallowed the elf food with big mouthfuls.
She has never eaten anything like this. In her life, the most delicious thing in the world is probably tree fruit, and the most delicious thing is the glass of juice that the young man sent last night.
It is obviously the taste that flying elves prefer to eat, and the chrysanthemum leaves are eaten very happily.
After Jucaoye finished eating, the owl asked her where she planned to go with the fruit. According to their experience, Jucaoye was clearly a wild elf who had never been tamed, but her route was to Luoyu Town.
.
Ju Caoye opened the bag, took out the fruits she had collected, and explained with a smile that she was looking for two people to give them fruits.
The three flying elves looked at each other.
The chrysanthemum leaf in front of her was obviously not given any knowledge of this world by anyone, nor did she know how it grew up to this point.
"Do you like those two people very much?" Big Mouth asked.
"Like..." Ju Caoye thought about the word for a moment, "Is this what I like?"
Bi Diao sighed: "Just like we will come to this town at this time every year to enjoy a big meal and protect this town, we are deeply attached to the people and things here, so we are willing to stay here forever.
here."
"We are old and can hardly fly anymore. Even so, we are still here. In the future, Bobo and the others will inherit our will and fly in the sky and continue to protect this town. For us, this is love.
Humans seem to call this love..."
"What about you, what is the reason why you like them? Is that reason worth your willingness to stay with those two people? I mean, forever."
Bi Diao's words made Ju Caoye sweat profusely. She was not smart and thought for a long time before he hesitated and said: "That young man is very gentle, that girl is very gentle... I like that cup of sweet juice with a little sour taste."
, and that plush blanket, very warm.”
The three elves were silent for a while, and then the owl stood up.
"Come on, I'll take you into the town."
The Bidiao and the Toucan chewed the elf food and watched the chrysanthemum leaves leave. After a while, the Toucan took out the Spearow that had buried its head in the food.
The eagle and the toucan took a few feathers from their bodies, let the sparrow pick them up, and flew to the chrysanthemum leaves.
"People in this town always say that the feathers we leave have the power to bless them with success in everything they do. The feathers grow on me. How come I didn't know it has this effect?"
"I don't know, maybe they have that kind of magic power. Let us be willing to shed feathers for them and guard this land until we grow old."
"I would rather believe it, after all, the feathers come from us."
"Then...may Luo Yu's magic power help this ignorant child find the right person."
"May Luo Yu's magic power help this ignorant child find the right person," Bi Diao immediately responded.
