A'Du looked at Xiao Yin who spread his wings and hugged his feet to prevent him from moving forward and shook his head helplessly.
"You, what did you learn from Luther this time? Tell me how you can let me go."
Xiaoyin dragged a small white basket buried in the snow not far away, pointed inside, and then pointed at himself, not wanting to make his meaning more obvious.
A'Du had no choice but to find a gift from Kuailong and stuff it into the small white basket.
When Xiao Yin saw that the gift was in hand, he immediately let go of his hand. No matter what happened to A'Du, he happily walked back holding the small basket.
After handing the small basket to Manafei, who was gathering with a group of water elves, Xiao Yin returned to the place where he had just ambushed A'Du.
This is next to the cobblestone path leading to the residential area. The snow is very deep. Not long after Wind Speed Dog and the others finished melting the snow, a thick layer accumulated here again.
Xiao Yin skillfully lay down on the snow and waved his wings to throw the surrounding snow onto himself.
The mental power was used very cleverly, so the snow could cover half of Xiao Yin's body, leaving only his slender neck exposed.
The vast expanse of white is Xiao Yin's best disguise. Even if you look carefully, you won't be able to see him crouching there.
In fact, what Xiaoyin wants is not a beautifully packaged gift box, but a red envelope-like thing.
She discovered last year that the Lutheran Church prepared many such envelopes in advance.
The envelopes given to Mai and Mira were stuffed with money and something like letter paper.
This year, this trick has been upgraded. Luther not only prepared such red envelopes for Mai and the others, but also prepared them for the elves.
Xiaoyin and Luther, who were responsible for helping fold the red paper, worked all night and completed this big project while others were not paying attention.
She couldn't understand the words written on it, which made Xiaoyin very distressed. She pestered Lutheran to read by herself, and finally let her join the reading and newspaper class of Darkrai and the Night Demon.
Luther said that these things called lucky money, also known as red envelopes, could not be distributed to other people until New Year's Day. He hoped that Xiaoyin could control his mouth.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yin immediately flapped his wings on his chest, expressing that he would definitely do it.
And she did.
From one week before the New Year, Shuttlecock Mian will not be able to find anyone if he wants to play with Xiao Yin.
Ju Caoye wanted to introduce her new playmate to Xiao Yin, but when Xiao Yin saw the other party, she would only nod and shake her head, making her say a word as if she wanted to kill her.
Within two days, everyone knew that Xiao Yin had become mute and disappeared.
After Darkrai told Luther, he could only shake his head with a smile.
Xiao Yin remembered clearly that Luther said that as long as he paid New Year greetings, he would get this thing.
As long as I stop the people from Kurusu Island...
There was one day left before the Chinese New Year. Xiao Yin, who was itchy and very resourceful, decided to "robbery on the road" to enjoy the feeling of getting a red envelope in advance.
It's just that A'Du, who was the first to arrive, obviously didn't play according to Luther's routine.
Red envelope?
The big gift package will be given directly to you, so good little Yin can open it and play with it by yourself.
A'Du came to pay New Year's greetings with extra New Year's gifts, and he was always afraid that there would not be enough, or that he would suddenly have to give more.
Luther said that his trouble is called insufficient gift syndrome, which is a variant of underfire phobia.
A'Du, who was used to Luther saying weird things, silently wrote down the fear of lack of firepower. He always felt that there would be a lot of room for this word to be used in the future.
Last year, because he was late for the annual meeting, Adu arrived early this year to express his sincerity.
But when he and Kuailong, who was dressed in festive red clothes, came to Qidao, only Luther greeted him.
"Mai will be here tonight."
"Huo Yan and Mira are busy decorating Sirona's villa."
"Greystone gave the new recruits of Interpol an annual leave, and is now working with Shijana and Acerola to clean the temporary camp where they lived before, and distribute gifts to the wild elves around them who were disturbed by them."
"Akui is still the same as before, worrying about the fruit trees. I told her that it depends on God's will, and I will buy a new one at worst, but she just doesn't listen."
"Since Dawu discovered Dianxi's ruins on the island, he has only come back twice. Usually, the meals are prepared by Big Mouth Baby and Fat Keding, and then Metagross comes back to take them there."
"As for Yuzi...she is also very busy. There are many wild elves with frostbite this winter. The intensity of the treatment suddenly increased, and she almost fell ill."
"I plan to recruit another elf doctor with treatment experience to the island. I would be very grateful if you can introduce him."
Listening to Luther continuously introducing the people and things on the island, A'du sighed and patted Luther on the shoulder.
Everything is left unsaid.
Boss Kikuno returns to the alliance to help handle Wu Song's poaching case, Sirona is preparing for the annual meeting on Suzuran Island, Cattleya and Adek return to Hezhong, and Karuna can't get away...
It is expected that these people will return to the island after New Year's Eve.
A'Du was inevitably a little disappointed, and his good mood about meeting his fossil pterosaur and fire-breathing dragon again faded a lot.
A'Du has been busy with his two jobs this year and has never had time to go back to Qidao to relax.
Aoi and Yuzi, who took care of Charizard and fossil pterosaurs, informed him of many things. After hearing about the changes and encounters on Qidao, he also wanted to participate.
Especially when he heard about the incident where Shijana took action to teach Shinnosuke a lesson, he wanted to be there.
Shijana asked him for advice. After all, she had her own experience in training dragon elves.
"When will you get married?"
After hearing Luther talking about how Qidao's income from various input items reached a new high this year, and each of which was personally controlled by Mai, A'du couldn't help but ask.
People like A'Du are not just asking questions. As long as they are sure, the fat man who is now wearing red and praised by Luther as being very festive will definitely be the mascot at the wedding, and he may even bring fossil pterosaurs and Huckosaurs.
…
However, Luther just smiled and did not answer.
"In the past, you should have been able to answer instantly. Why, you suddenly hesitated. Do you want to talk to me?"
In A'Du's view, Luther and Mai are a perfect match. The two rarely quarrel. Their emotional intelligence in leaving each other private space is perfect. They support each other in various matters and achieve each other's achievements.
If such a person doesn't get married, A'Du really doesn't believe in love.
Luther had no choice but to explain: "A'Du, do you know there is something called a flag?"
"flag?"
A'Du has become accustomed to Luther's new words coming out every now and then. His ability to accept them is pretty good, but now he just wants to know what they mean.
"You can understand it as a non-necessarily connected logic that a certain result will occur after a decision is made."
A'Du seemed to understand somewhat, but he still didn't understand what this had to do with marriage.
"Where I live, there is a classic flag called, I will go back to my hometown to get married after I finish this battle."
