PS: The first update, the second update will be updated tomorrow morning, Carvin is serious, forgive me.

In the evening, the food party is over, and only a few people are left to finish it.

Menqi, who was not very good at drinking, was drunk at the banquet at halfway, and had already been arranged by the village chief to live in Ivan's tavern, and was already asleep at this time.

An orange lamp illuminated the small space in the tavern, and Magino sat against the wall of the bathroom, holding the pajamas he was going to give to Ivan, as if in deep thought.

In the bathroom, the steam was swirling, and Ivan's whole body was immersed in the hot warm water, and his whole body relaxed, looking up at the night sky outside the window.

The night sky is like a chess game, the stars are like chess pieces, and the bright moon is in the center, looking fascinating and relaxing, if there is no Magino outside.

"Ivan." Magino, who was sitting outside, was silent for a long time and then said, her voice trembling a little, as if she was afraid of something, hugging her pajamas tightly.

"What's wrong?" Ivan was silent for a few seconds before he spoke slowly.

"Nothing." Magino opened his mouth to speak, but the words stayed in his throat, and he didn't say it, and the hands that were holding on to the pajamas gradually let go, and then he grabbed them tightly.

There was silence again, silent except for the chirping of insects at night, and the fluctuating sound of warm water in the bathroom.

"Magino, that." Ivan paused slightly before continuing: "After the Faro, I may have to go out. ”

"Probably... How long do you want to leave? ”

"Almost... A year or so. Ivan whispered, he didn't really want such a scene, but he had to face it.

"Do you want to be a hunter?" Magino said the words that had been hidden in her heart all along.

"Hmmm..." Ivan was silent for a few seconds before responding.

"The hunter exam is dangerous, isn't it?"

"I've always been very greedy, I hope you can live happily, find a girl you love, get married, have children, and live an ordinary life like everyone else.

"I'm worried about you, I've been worried about you, even if you wrote and called back when you were far away, but you're still worried. I'm worried that you're not used to that kind of life, or that you're kicked under the quilt, or that you can't eat well.

Remember the day you came back? The others didn't notice it, but I knew there was something wrong with your eyes, and that day you took your least favorite pajamas and put them on, and I was scared, very scared...

Do you know? I was really happy when you said that you would quit school, because I knew that I could protect you from getting hurt.

But now... Mom and Dad are gone, and there are only two of us left, and I'm worried, worried about whether you'll leave me too!! ”

Magino whispered, her voice choked, her hands clutched Ivan's pajamas, crystal clear unknown droplets of water, slid down her cheeks, fell into her pajamas, and dyed a few colorless flowers.

Ivan wrapped himself in a bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom, silent, and walked to Magino and crouched down.

Water stains that slipped from the hair dripped onto the wooden floor and quickly seeped inside.

I saw Ivan stretch out his hands and hold Magino's face, with a smile on his face, warm and penetrating people's hearts.

"Don't cry, it's not good-looking, your brother and I are super strong."

Magino spread her hands, rested her head on Ivan's shoulders, and hugged him tightly.

Once upon a time, the younger brother who would only help behind her, his immature shoulders became broad and powerful, and he could bear her crying.

"Come back alive."

"Yes, yes, definitely."

······

On the third day, the wind was mild, and the sea breeze was not lightened by the blue sky, and the seagulls realized that the ships were no longer out at sea, and there was no more lucky white food, and they stayed away from the dock to find a new place to feed.

The pier is less of the chirping of seagulls and a little more cold.

Menqi stayed on Flying Fish Island for an extra day, and today she was ready to leave Flying Fish Island and return to the Nile Continent.

In this hunter exam, she was invited by the Hunter Association to become the main examiner of the second exam, which made her have to leave the Ezhen continent early.

"I'm leaving, I'm going to help you apply for the Hunter Exam qualification certificate on the website, the qualification certificate will be sent in a few days, and on the fifteenth of January, go to the Yali Pier to board the Dorver ship." Menqi said to Ivan.

"Thank you." Ivan replied.

"I'm looking forward to that day, I hope you can enjoy the fun of the hunter exam, and your body is too weak, it's likely that you won't brush down the first level, and exercise more while you have time." Menqi admonished.

Although Menqi feels that Ivan has the potential to pass the hunter assessment, it is only potential, and he may not be able to pass.

With the roar of the speedboat's engine, Menqi eventually left, and Flying Fish Island returned to its former tranquility until the day before the Faro Festival.

If the red envelope is a special symbol of the Spring Festival, then the glutinous rice dumplings are the symbol of the Faro Festival.

The white dumplings symbolize reunion, which is the common wish of all residents of the Faroe Islands, and also means love and family, reunion and happiness.

On this day, every household will pick up a rosin mallet and put the steamed crystal clear, clear sweet glutinous rice into the salt mortar.

The kind of salt stone collected from the depths of the sea, itself has a faint salty taste, if you pour fresh water into the stone, after a day, it will bring a salty taste, it is a very magical stone, but because of the huge yield, it has become the favorite vegetable stone of every household.

Sweet glutinous rice itself has a sweet taste, and between chewing, a faint sweetness will fill the whole mouth, whether it is used to make sweet porridge, make sweet wine, or make sake lees is the best ingredient.

"Bang Bang Bang · The rhythmic beating of the wooden mallet in the salt stone mortar makes the sound very pleasant.

Under pressure, the glutinous rice is crushed and gradually beaten into a viscous state, during which the originally sweet glutinous rice will be stained with some salty taste.

Ivan struck the glutinous rice with a pine mallet, and Magino cooperated very tacitly with the stirring, preventing the glutinous rice from sticking to the stone mortar.

Eventually, the sticky glutinous rice begins to appear smooth and silky, sticking to the mallet and pulling out extremely long white threads.

The huge glutinous rice balls in the stone mortar are skillfully kneaded into small glutinous rice balls by Magino and rolled on top of the sesame powder or peanut flour.

The smooth skin adds a little sweet powder to the glutinous rice dumplings.

"Happy Faro." Magino took a glutinous rice dumpling and handed it to Ivan, smiling brightly, like a child who had received candy.

"Happy Faro." Ivan eats the glutinous rice dumplings in his mouth.

As soon as you enter the mouth, the first is the fragrance of sesame seeds, followed by the unique softness and slightly salty taste of glutinous rice balls, which sets off the sweetness even more.

The Salty and Sweet Party will also become allies at this moment, forgetting the battles of the past and the present. 11
