Mag told the story of the Nian beast in a gentle tone, which was different from ordinary fairy tales, but Amy still listened with interest.
"The Nian beast was scared away by the sound and light of firecrackers. From then on, every New Year's Eve, every household posted red couplets and set off firecrackers. Every household was brightly lit to wait for the new year. This is how the important festival of 'New Year' came to be. No matter where they are away from home, people will try their best to go home to reunite, celebrate the Reunion Year and have New Year’s Eve dinner together.”
"New Year's Eve dinner!" Amy's eyes lit up and she looked at Mag expectantly: "Does waiting for the New Year mean eating until dawn?"
"Meow~" The ugly duckling also stuck out its little head and looked at Mag.
"This..." Mag was stunned for a moment, nodded with a smile and said, "It can be understood this way."
"That must be super happy!" Amy looked at Mag with a longing look on her face and said, "Father, let's celebrate the New Year too. Let's also have New Year's Eve dinner until dawn."
"If Xiaomi wants to celebrate the New Year, then let's celebrate the New Year." Mag nodded with a smile, thought for a moment, and then said: "But based on time, we have to wait another month for the New Year."
"Father said that everyone will be reunited during the New Year, but what about mother? Will she come back? Will she also celebrate the New Year with us?" Amy looked at Mag with expectation.
Meeting Amy's gaze, Mag's heart tightened. Although she had met Irina in Luodu last time, Amy didn't know that she was her mother after getting along for a short time.
The current situation of the elves is unclear, his strength is still insufficient, and Irina can't let go of those poor tribesmen. It is still unknown when Amy will be able to recognize her and reunite as a family.
How to answer this question, he was a little confused for a while.
"As long as she is with her father, Amy is super happy." Amy seemed to notice Mag's hesitation and showed a sweet smile to him, then closed her eyes obediently and whispered: " Good night, father."
Mag looked at the well-behaved Amy and felt a little uncomfortable. She stood up and kissed Amy's forehead gently and said, "Good night, Xiaomi."
The ugly duckling retracted his head into the quilt, hugged one of Amy's little hands, and soon entered Mengxiang.
"Strength is really a melancholy thing." Mag sighed, walked out of the door quietly, went downstairs and put on his apron again, closed the kitchen door, and continued to study how to make beggar chicken.
…
Forest of wind.
In a dark hall, a middle-aged elf looked at Berg who was sitting high up with worry and said anxiously: "Sir, Helena has gathered hundreds of rebel elves in the southwest corner of the Forest of Wind, forming a formation. There is a rebel army, and elves continue to join them these days, and the scale is growing day by day, what should we do?"
"But a rebel army composed of just a few hundred low-level elves, what's the fuss?" Berg grinned stiffly, "But this is a legitimate opportunity to get rid of Irina and let her develop again. When she starts to invade the Wind Forest, it will be the end of her and those idiots."
"But over to High Priest Helena..."
"That old woman should be more anxious than us right now. She has been trying to lead the unity of the elves. Now what Irina is doing is to slap her in the face. I want to see how long she can stay calm. Sooner or later she will You will still come to me, Jie Jie..." The cold laughter echoed in the hall.
…
"High Priest, thirty more elves have joined the rebel army. In addition to slaves, there are six nobles among them." A figure hurriedly ran into the Star Hollow Mansion.
Helena's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and she said coldly: "Have you found out which house it is?"
"Several family heads are already kneeling outside the cave to plead guilty. Do you want to let them in?"
"No need, each person will be beaten fifty times, and then put the eldest son of their clan in prison and tell them that if the same thing happens again, their successor will be gone."
"Go ahead and announce that if one person rebels, the whole family will be guilty!"
"Yes!" The elf left quickly.
"Irina, are you trying to destroy hundreds of years of hard work by me and the Queen?" Helena looked up at the brightest star in the sky and said with a cold expression: "Although you are the one I have watched for so long, Big, but if you really want to do something, then I can only kill you."
…
On the outskirts of the Wind Forest, in the southwest, in a canyon.
A simple fortress has begun to take shape.
A slender figure stood at the highest point of the fortress, looking quietly in the direction of the Wind Forest. The wind blew the white skirt, still beautiful in the dark night.
"Your Highness, the three lines of defense have been set up. However, if a level 10 strongman attacks, the lines of defense may not be able to stop her." A young elf came up behind her and said respectfully, with fanatical admiration in his eyes.
In just a few days, a rebel team was formed outside the Forest of Wind, and there was a steady stream of elves coming from the Forest of Wind.
She has a convincing temperament and an aura that makes everyone's blood boil. Her words about freedom are like a revelation to many people in the elves, even if they are facing death. They also have no fear.
"If there is a Level 10 intruder, I will deal with it." Irina said calmly.
"Yes." The elf responded and left quickly.
"The situation is much better than expected. After all, a free soul cannot be completely restrained. If you wait a little longer, it's time to start a counterattack." A smile appeared on Irina's face. After a while, she looked back. Nanfang said, "Xiaomi, give me some more time. We will be together soon."
…
"Wow! The world really turned white!"
As soon as it got dark, Amy woke up, went to the window and opened the curtains, looking at the snowy world, she shouted in surprise.
"It's really true." Mag got up and walked to the window to look out. Thick snow covered the whole world. There was a vast expanse of white everywhere on the trees, on the roofs, on the sculptures. It turned white overnight. More than ten centimeters of snow had accumulated, and it was like being in a fairy tale world.
"Meow meow~" The ugly duckling also opened the window with some excitement.
"Father, I want to go down and play in the snow!" Amy turned around and looked at Mag.
"Okay, but you must dress warmly and wear gloves." Mag nodded fondly, put Amy into a thick cotton jacket, and put on a pair of fluffy waterproof gloves for her. , and then let her go out to play.
The ugly duckling followed Amy in a hurry and plunged into the snow. After a while, he struggled to crawl out, and then plunged into another pile of snowflakes, enjoying himself.
Early in the morning, Curtis took Kyle to line up outside the restaurant.
