In the col, under a protruding boulder, Li Xiaoyue lit a bonfire. At night, wild beasts were rampant, and even if she wanted to rush back as soon as possible, she had to stop.

It was already dark when she stopped, and she had been in the dark for a long time just by trapping it.

The bonfire burned to bring a touch of warmth to her body, and the clothes she wore when she were underground, thin, soft, but not warm. She didn't know what it was, and although it was comfortable, it wasn't as strong as linen, and it had only been a day's walk before it had been broken in several places.

Her trap had only been set for a short time, and no prey had been baited, still because of her lack of experience in the wild, but fortunately, the half-tree hawthorn fruit picked on the road at noon was able to satisfy her stomach.

Fiddling with the half-burned dead wood in the bonfire, Li Xiaoyue covered her cheeks and looked at the fire in a daze.

"What are you thinking?" Afu's display glittered in the night.

"Ah, I ......" Li Xiaoyue was a little embarrassed, muttering: "I just ate too much hawthorn, and my teeth were sour......"

"Is there such a thing? there is no relevant information in the database?" Ah Fu was a little puzzled, the display screen flickered, obviously rummaging through the stored information.

"It's nothing, it'll be fine in a while!" Li Xiaoyue shook her head, burying half of her face between her wrapped legs, revealing only a pair of eyes.

Ah Fu's display flickered, and he suddenly shook his head, most of the stored music in his database was music, and he couldn't help but be happy just touching those lively electrical signals.

"Alas, I really want to change a good set of onomatopoeia software and speakers!" Ah Fu couldn't help but say.

Looking at it from the crack in her arm, Li Xiaoyue asked, "What do you mean?"

"My onomatopoeia software only has two modes, and the speakers are removed from an old scrapped machine. Can you understand how painful it is for someone who loves music to not be able to sing with a beautiful voice?" said Ah Fu with his head down.

Li Xiaoyue listened to its depressed voice, comforted it and said: "No, your voice is very good, Grandma Dawu said that singing is the voice from the heart, as long as you sing with your heart, someone will always hear your inner voice." ”

"That's not the case...... Ah Fu suddenly remembered something, looked at Li Xiaoyue and said, "Hey, by the way, your voice is very good!

"Huh? Sing...... Singing?Do you mean Wu Zhu?" Li Xiaoyue was a little flustered, and stammered: "Wu Zhu can only be sung at the sacrifice." ”

"You can sing something else! I'll teach you a song, you sing it, I'll accompany it, how about it?" Ah Fu obviously liked the idea that popped up, and said excitedly.

"What did you teach me?...... What kind of song?" Li Xiaoyue couldn't help but be a little curious, is it the kind that is sung to Fengyun with it?

"I'll look for it!" Ah Fu's display flickered again, and after a moment, it said happily, "How about this song? ”

Li Xiaoyue looked at it curiously, but saw that it was fiddling with its body, and a wonderful sound suddenly sounded in the recessed ring on its chest, which sounded like the sound of Ah Fuqin, but it was more melodious and beautiful.

The only instruments used for the ritual were a limited number of instruments, such as bells, leather drums, and thatched pipes, but none of them could make such a sound, so she really couldn't tell what kind of instrument it was.

Soon, a woman's voice sang slowly, accompanied by the sound of musical instruments. Li Xiaoyue's head slowly lifted from between her knees, and an inexplicable sensation went down her spine all the way, stretching the pores all over her body.

She didn't feel the surging of witch power, but it was an ordinary ballad, but it made her heart twist, is this the song of the soul that the grandmother said?

The song is very short and very simple, after listening to it only once, it seems to be engraved in my heart, Li Xiaoyue's shoulders shrunk, and she couldn't help asking, "What kind of song is this?

"It's not written by some great witch, it's just an ordinary song sung by ordinary people, is it good?" Ah Fu asked.

After being silent for a long time, Li Xiaoyue nodded: "Hmm." ”

"Want to try it?" Ah Fu took out the Ah Fu piano from his stomach, bent his fingers and played it twice, and then the music that was exactly the same as the original song flowed out of the piano.

Listening to the music in her ears, Li Xiaoyue raised her head, the rising moon peeked out from behind the boulder overhead, and the clear light sprinkled was like white snow covering her instep, she sang only with her voice for the first time without the cooperation of witch dance and witch power.

Gently opened her mouth, and a song like a clear spring flowed from her mouth:

In that windswept steppe

There is someone in my heart

Wind, you blow gently

Go and listen to his sad songs

O moon, thou shalt shine upon him

Firelight, you warm him

......

Singing this, Li Xiaoyue suddenly stopped and looked at the bonfire in front of her in a daze.

Seeing her stop, Ah Fu also stopped the piano in his hand, and tilted his head to look at her suspiciously.

A pair of eyes that were still bright in the dark and seemed to be burning with flames seemed to appear in front of them again, and there was a little itch on the lips, Li Xiaoyue suddenly clenched her fists, but slowly released them after a while. As if she had been drained of all her strength, she buried her head in her knees.

Ah Fu's display flickered, Li Xiaoyue's heart was beating fast, and the heat was also concentrating on his face, especially his eyes. He suddenly asked, "Are you worried?"

Li Xiaoyue's shoulders trembled, she slowly raised her head, and asked Ah Fu with teary eyes: "I'm a coward, right? I don't dare to go back to save him, I don't dare to ......"

Ah Fu didn't understand a little, but still said: "Cowardice is a self-protection instinct, and it is normal to choose to escape in order to protect your own life. ”

Li Xiaoyue didn't hear it, but muttered: "I don't dare to die again, I'm afraid that there will be darkness and cold everywhere, I don't want to be eaten by insects, I don't want to die......"

"People are always going to die. Ah Fu said calmly: "Human life is limited, I read a passage in the database, life is like a bus, no matter how long you sit, there will always be a day to get off the bus." The fear of death is also a normal psychology, but it is useless, and even if there is fear, death will not stop coming. ”

Li Xiaoyue looked up at it, choked up and asked, "Since people always die, what is the point of my life?"

"It's an existential issue, but I happened to delete it. Ah Fu said: "But I can tell you that the pursuit of meaning itself is meaningless, because people live in a meaningless universe, and human existence itself has no meaning, but people can build themselves on the basis of their original existence and live a wonderful life." ”

Li Xiaoyue was stunned by its series of meanings, and looked at it blankly.

Ah Fu raised the Ah Fu piano and said: "It's like music, my dream is to write my own music, in that case, even if my body decays and my consciousness dies, as long as someone can continue to sing my song and play my music, then a part of me will continue to exist in music!"

Li Xiaoyue said as if she didn't understand: "So...... Want to sing?"

"That's right, sing!" Ah Fu looked at her and said loudly, "At least when you sing, you're happy, right?"

"Am I happy?" Li Xiaoyue was also asking herself, the answer was no, but she seemed to have taken off a layer of shackles, and she was suddenly relaxed, and even her toes seemed to be flying. She jumped up and said happily, "So be happy!"

"That's right, be happy!" Ah Fu also said happily, "Sing happily! This is the closest thing to meaning in meaninglessness!"

As if pushing open a door and stepping into a new world, Li Xiaoyue ran out of the boulder, stood on the grass, and giggled in the moonlight.

The wind of the cold night pierced through her thin clothes, but it did not make her feel the slightest cold, and the blades of grass at her feet swaggered lightly at her in the breeze. The already weak magical power seemed to be dispelled by a breeze, passing behind her.

She reached out lightly and whisked it down from the air, feeling the subtle touch of the air passing through her fingertips, tapping her toes, and softly singing an unknown minor tune in her mouth. There was no magic power, but her singing was sent far away by the wind.

The moonlight flowed, moving over the top of the mountain, illuminating a silver figure above, which was a huge silver-white giant wolf.

"Huh, it's half a tooth?" Ah Fu knew the wolf, he had encountered it the last time he came outside the mine, and the wolves he had brought with him. The guy thought he was the prey and attacked it, but half of his teeth were broken, so Ah Fu called it half a tooth.

How did that guy end up here? Look at the shadow behind it, there was obviously a wolf pack lurking there.

"There are wolves there. Ah Fu pointed to half a tooth and reminded Li Xiaoyue.

Li Xiaoyue didn't hear it, all the magic power in her body had flowed out, replaced by cool moonlight, she could feel that she was getting lighter and lighter, as if she was about to fly, this feeling made her obsessed.

Half Tooth apparently heard her singing, but did not move, but stood on the top of the hill for a while, and then left with the wolves.

Li Xiaoyue still didn't notice it, she was just singing.

She sings a tune that sings of all things natural, even the youngest children in the clan can sing. Originally, it was impossible to trigger a magical reaction, however, now that she didn't use a trace of magical power, it was even more wonderful than using magical power. She felt like she had become a dandelion fluttering in the wind, weak, harmless, but free.

Grandma Wu had never mentioned such a situation, and there was no record in the witch books, and she seemed to have embarked on a completely different path for the Great Witch of the River People.
