Chapter 19: The Sun and the Moon
After discovering that She'er couldn't be found, Yi Fu's first reaction was not to ask questions like "she may have escaped" or "did she go to mine gold and grass".
It's "Shell is all right?"
There was a faint smell of grass in the room, which made her feel much more relaxed, and after getting out of bed, she left the cabin to take a look around.
But she hadn't been out of the house a few steps before she heard someone behind her calling to her, "Hey, where are you going?"
Yi Fu turned around and found Xue Erxun coming from the other side, still carrying a wooden box in his hand: "I see that you are gone, and I am a little worried." β
"Worried I'll run?" she snorted, and Yifu hurriedly shook his head and denied, "No, I'm worried that you're in danger." β
"Huh... How could I be in danger. She muttered to herself, as if puzzled by her words, but soon she remembered the purpose of her outing: "I brought you breakfast, and you will accompany me to pick gold and grass after dinner." β
"Good. β
They still didn't mention those two things, but chatted casually about family life and tasted a bowl of delicious mushroom porridge like ordinary friends who lived together.
After breakfast, Xue Erxun picked up her large backpack and left the village with Yifu and the others.
Although Ifu was not familiar with the road in this vicinity, he also discovered that this was not the road he had gone to dig for gold and grass yesterday, but the opposite place.
"Shall we not go to the gold and grass?" she asked.
And the people around him just nodded: "Well, I suddenly changed my mind, I picked a lot of yesterday, and I'll take you to see something else today." β
As they walked farther and farther, a faint fruity fragrance suddenly came from afar, and although the aroma was faint, Yifu's keen sense of smell still caught it.
"Look, that's marbleorange. Xue Erxun raised his hand and pointed to the tree: "If you have relatives and friends of the Douding clan, don't give them these, as long as you eat a little ~ point, they will have a small rash all over their bodies, and there is no special medicine, even magic can't do anything, you can only close the door and wait for recovery, of course, if you have an enemy is the Douding clan... Hmph~"
Ifu looked in the direction she was pointing, and there were small, smooth-shelled orange fruits, somewhat like kumquats.
"There is also the grape called Rose Dew over there, the favorite of the Luli people. β
"Oh, there's still a star here. β
She kept introducing the strange fruits with beautiful names, and Ifu listened.
After stepping out of the fruit gardens decorated with colors like a sacred festival, Xue Erxun gathered the brilliance in his eyes again.
"Do you think I talk a lot?"
"There weren't many of them, I was listening and remembering. Ifu said, repeating to her the characteristics of the fruits she had just talked about, as well as the instructions for cultivation, etc., and she listened like this, with a satisfied smile on her face.
But soon she changed her face again, just like before.
The two continued to walk, until a nearby passer-by was out of sight, and Xue Erxun stopped.
"Can you tell me your real name? She asked.
Ifu expressed his confusion about her question: "I didn't lie to you, Xiyin, that's my name, if you don't believe me, you can ask my friend, or, I still have a lot of ways to prove that I'm not lying." β
"Got it, you're really... I'm afraid I'll be suspicious of you. β
Shell said, turning to look at her.
"Do you know how to pronounce Hill in Elfish language?"
Ifu shook his head.
"Nir-iX, which means 'moon'. β
"It turns out that my name was not taken by my parents, but there are all kinds of exquisiteness...", she said this, as if to the person who was looking at her, and as if to herself.
But did they really know that beyond that vast world, there was a nation called the Tin Throne?
Would they have researched the elven language of the country and chosen a name for her?
It seems like... Unlikely.
"By the way. Sherxun's voice pulled her back from her thoughts, "My name is pronounced in Elvish, Nur-uX, which meansβ" She paused, then smiled mysteriously, "Guess what?"
"It can't be the sun. β
"That's right. β
"Nir-iX, the moon. Nur-uX, Sun. β
Yi Fu repeated what she had just said, and the names of the two of them were really similar.
"Is Elven the most widely spoken language in the Tin Throne?"
"Of course not, at least civilians will never be exposed to Elven language for the rest of their lives. β
Hearing her say this, Yi Fu tilted his head: "What does iy-ui-je-neg-h-s mean?"
"May the chant give you refuge. β
βU-e-hs-is-ei-WοΌβ
"For the World Tree!"
She said passionately.
"Hmm, what about Agena.Belongda?"
"It's not an elven word, it's like some ancient spell. She replied fluently, and Ifu lowered his head again and thought about it.
βEn-taοΌDo-lo-ta.β
"I don't know. Xue Erxun said calmly: "I haven't heard of it, where did you get these strange words?"
"In a dream. Ifu replied truthfully.
"In a dream, you can't take it seriously, but I'm curious, what are you dreaming about?" she asked, and for some reason, Yifu suddenly felt that she had become a little stranger.
But soon she took a few steps back, and that familiar feeling came back to her.
"I can't remember exactly, can you remember each of your dreams?" she asked rhetorically, and Xue Erxun nodded, still with the same color: "Also, like my usual dreams, I will forget about it in no more than five seconds after waking up." β
It's a normal conversation, but for some reason, the atmosphere just becomes subtle.
Maybe it's because both of them are not good at lying, so after the lie, they will feel a little embarrassed for themselves, but they try to break this embarrassment, not wanting the other party to have bad thoughts about themselves.
It's strange that they used to be people who didn't care about this, and besides, the other party was just a stranger to themselves.
Why care what she thinks?
I care about every friend, right? I care about what passers-by think, isn't it?And if Sherson is dissatisfied with me, the mission will not be completed, and our documents will be all in vain, and if I think about it deeper, it will endanger the whole of Illavireββ Yifu thought.
I have a relatively normal attitude towards normal people, right? I used to have a bad attitude towards the people sent by the Sheer family or avoided them, because they were all stupid and only had a purpose or money in their eyes, uh, is Xi'er Yin also for her own purposes? But she said that she would help me, that matter was very important to me, she was different, her purpose was just a translation document, as long as she was willing to spend a lot of money anyone would be willing to do it, think about my purpose, it would be a big dealββ Xue Erxun thought so.
