-----------------------------------
Lively streets, lively cities.
Such an atmosphere was something Fang Ming had never experienced.
The two followed the crowd and walked through the crowded streets. Feel the difference.
After an afternoon of dry shopping, night quickly fell.
As the night shrouded, Lianyun City was still very lively. But there are noticeably fewer pedestrians on the streets than during the afternoon rush hour.
After all, the city is so big, and the flow of people on such a large scale cannot be digested by the city at all.
A large number of people began to walk towards the outside of the city, and Fang Ming and Sakura were naturally among them.
Outside Lianyun City under the dark night, under the city wall, tents are densely packed, and there are countless covers. As far as the eye can see, its large population habitat is large enough to form a small town.
"Now it's full of people. There are too many people. Walking all the way along the city wall, Fang Ming and Sakura didn't see a single empty space where they could rest.
After walking a long way, almost two miles away from Lianyun City, Fang Ming and Sakura sat down under a green tree.
"Let's rest here. "Looking at the relatively lonely environment around us, although there are some people resting nearby, it is not as crowded as under the walls of Lianyun City.
After the two sat down with their backs against the tree, Sakura immediately removed her burden from her shoulders. Among the baggage, there is some surplus food along the way in recent days.
After taking out two cooked meats wrapped in Baye from the baggage, Sakura handed one to Fang Ming.
In this way, the two quickly finished their own dinner.
The night breeze is refreshing.
Although it is outside the city, it is still very lively under Lianyun City. Many people who slept in the open air lit fires in front of their tents. Most of the people who were sleeping in the neighborhood were chatting and laughing warmly, and sharing with each other the food specialties they had brought from different places.
Laughter and laughter echoed in the sky outside Lianyun City, and joy was the main theme of the night at this moment.
And the place where Fang Ming and Sakura were at the moment was obviously like two environments and two worlds under Lianyun City. On one side is laughter, and on the other side is peace and quiet.
"Brother, what do you say are on those stars?" Raising her head slightly and staring at the night sky, Sakura gently raised her hand to point upwards at this time, and then tilted her head and asked Fang Ming.
Listening to Sakura's inquiry, Fang Ming also raised his head slightly, and then looked at the starry sky in the sky. His gaze instantly fell into remembrance.
"Old Fang, why are there these twinkling stars in the sky, do they fall? What are they?" On the top of a mountain in the Taicang Plain Forest, Fang Ming once asked Lao Fang, who was facing away from him.
"They don't fall off...... Because there, there is a home. There, there are people who live just like us. There are mountains on it...... There is water, there is a distance, there is a part, miss ......" Lao Fang was standing on the edge of the cliff facing the fierce mountain wind, he stood with his hands in his hands and looked up at the starry sky, the pain and sorrow in his eyes, Fang Ming couldn't see or hear.
"Above the stars, there should be people like us living. Out of his trance, a trace of nostalgia flashed in Fang Ming's eyes at this time, he recalled Lao Fang's words at that time, and he replied to Sakura like this.
"Wow, my brother is amazing. You really know the truth. Then brother, you say, will the stars in the sky be full of cherry trees, and when I go to that star, I can pick cherries that I can't eat!" After listening to Fang Ming's answer, Sakura's eyes suddenly lit up at this time, and then she turned to face Fang Ming very excitedly, and then stared at Fang Ming with a look of anticipation, waiting for Fang Ming's answer.
Fang Ming turned his head slightly at this moment, looking at Sakura, Fang Ming nodded lightly, and then said, "There should be." There will be a star on it, overgrown with cherry trees. ”
"Haha......ha Giggling...... "Listening to what Fang Ming said, Sakura's eyes immediately crooked with a smile. It can be seen that her joy and excitement at the moment cannot be concealed.
Seeing Sakura smiling so happily, Fang Ming couldn't help but laugh slightly at this time.
Soon, the night, calmed down.
The people who were laughing in the distance were no longer sound. Sakura also leaned peacefully against the trunk of the tree, and then fell asleep.
Seeing Sakura fall asleep, Fang Ming also adjusted his state at this time, and then started today's fortune.
The next day came quickly.
Before the day was bright, the noisy flow of people around them woke up Sakura and Fang Ming.
When I opened my eyes, the surrounding scene was like yesterday again, and there was already a long queue of people outside the gate of Lianyun City.
And next to the tree where Sakura and Fang Ming were resting, there were also people passing by from time to time.
Yesterday's people are yesterday's people, and today's people are today's people.
Now there are almost eight or nine days left before the opening of the Tianyun Sect. Thinking about it, within eight or nine days, there will only be more and more people rushing to Lianyun City.
Some experienced people naturally did not enter the city, and when they arrived outside Lianyun City, they began to look for a place to settle down. And there are still not a few people who flock into Lianyun City to join in the fun.
After this day, the scale of camping outside Lianyun City has doubled compared to yesterday.
The location of the green tree where Fang Ming and Sakura rested yesterday was quite quiet, after all, when choosing a position, Fang Ming had already deliberately stayed away from the concentrated crowd under the city wall.
But by the end of the night today, the area around the green tree where Fang Ming and Sakura were was already quiet and a little noisy.
Less than fifty meters away from the front of Fang Ming and Sakura's green tree, there were already three groups of people who had set up tents and spread out their covers.
Of the three groups, there were six men and women. And there is also a group of parents with children, a total of three people. The other group of people were obviously traveling from large families, because in addition to driving a carriage, the accompanying people who were obviously accompanied by people dressed as five or six.
"There are more people. ”
Seeing that the three groups not far in front of him were all busy in their own lively laughter, Sakura pursed her lips a little coldly at this time.
Compared to the liveliness of others, Fang Ming and Sakura's side is obviously incomparable to others. Not to mention the carriage tent, the two of them didn't even have a cover.
Seeing that the three groups on the opposite side actually got the stove up and started cooking. Sakura could only silently take out her baggage at this time, and then took out a wild fruit and nibbled on herself.
In front of a tent in the distance, a boy about thirteen or fourteen years old happily ran to her mother's side at this moment, and said, "Mother, I'll help you cook." ”
"No need, you just have to eat when your mother is ready. Go to your father first. ”
"No, Dad is tired, let him sleep first, after all, so many things have been resisted by Dad all the way. Besides, if I pass the assessment of the Tianyun Sect this time and am selected by the Tianyun Sect, I will not have a chance to help my mother cook in the future. ”
"Well, yes, Lin Er is right. Lin Er is such a good child, he will definitely be selected by the Tianyun Sect. ”
Because the position of this family of three was the closest among the three groups to Fang Ming and Sakura, and there was no obstacle between the two sides, the sound of the boy talking to his mother was clearly transmitted to Sakura and Fang Ming at this time.
Listening to the voice on the other side, Sakura silently lowered her head at this time, and the wild fruit in her hand was no longer gnawed.
"What's wrong Sakura-chan?" Fang Ming on the side seemed to feel something at this moment, he turned his head, and then looked towards Sakura-chan.
"Not ......much," Sakura shook her head, then replied softly.
Silently staring at Sakura for a moment, Fang Ming shook his head slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Along the way, although sometimes the thrill and freshness will make Sakura temporarily forget the sorrow of leaving home. But Fang knew that Sakura's heart had always been very homesick and missed her own father and mother.
Sakura never looked up, her tears finally dripping uncontrollably, and finally shattered on the wild fruit in her hand.
And at this very time.
"Hello, can I give this to you to eat?" The boy in the family of three opposite, who was holding a big bowl of food at the moment, brought it to Fang Ming and Sakura.
Looking at this boy, Fang Ming thought that he would refuse. But after thinking about Sakura beside him, Fang Ming stretched out his hand at this time, and then took the big bowl handed by the boy.
"Thank you. Fang Ming nodded at the boy.
"It's okay, my mother said, if you don't have enough, you can continue to go over and serve dinner. The boy looked a little silly, and he scratched his head at this time, and then said to Fang Ming with a smile.
"Well, good. Fang Ming nodded again, and then responded.
Then the boy trotted back again.
"Hungry, wild fruit acid, you can eat this. Fang Ming handed the bowl to Sakura at this time.
"Hmm. Sakura nodded silently, then put down the wild fruit and took the bowl.
As she picked up her chopsticks, Sakura first raised the back of her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and then she raised her head.
"Brother, then I'll eat first, I'll leave half for you~" With a strong smile, Sakura deliberately pretended to be innocent and said to the other party.
"Eat them all, I'll just eat the fruit. Looking at Sakura's reddish eyes, Fang Ming chuckled and shook his head.
After that, Sakura lifted the chopsticks and ate the bowl of rice one bite at a time.
It may be too long away from home, or it may be the intimate smell in the dining room. An ordinary meal that I didn't like to eat at home, at this moment, Sakura was so sad and sad.
No matter how strong Sakura's disguise was just now, at this moment, at the same time as the meal was in the mouth, Sakura finally burst into tears. Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Sakura pounced on Fang Ming, and then hugged Fang Ming and cried.
"I miss home, I miss home!"
[Immortals are all from mortals. I think a real fairy story should not only be written well, but also written well. Every immortal has been an ordinary mortal. In mortal emotions, we should learn to meditate. In the end, what is an immortal. I don't want to blindly write some fight scenes, because I always read books, especially Xianxia's books, which have too many bloody plots, which will really numb the vision and nerves. Sometimes the bland feeling, the quiet artistic conception and emotion, is the real one that can be read in the heart. Xian Reverse is very well written, I read it back and forth no less than six times. Just because of the immortal rebellion, in addition to having enough blood, there is also that period of artistic conception and feeling that leads to the depths of the soul. That kind of story is the story I want to pursue and express. I wish my search for cigarettes could be a story like this, rather than an ordinary novel. Although my pen power is limited, I am trying. 】
