The last elf

There is nothing unusual about visiting the flowers for a long time, but I feel sad that I have been sitting under the moon for a long time. .

"everything is over……"

It wasn't until the sun gradually rose that I stood up again with a sigh. The night finally passed and the sun finally rose again.

Before leaving the cave, I knelt down and kowtowed three times solemnly to the ashes in front of me, and said with sincere gratitude: "Goodbye, Chongming Bird, thank you for saving me."

During the process of returning to Liudaogou, I remained silent and the expression on my face was very calm, as if nothing had happened.

Liudaogou was as usual, and the air here was very fresh. I was walking alone on the gravel road in the village, and the sound of my lonely footsteps spread far away inadvertently.

When we arrived at the tunnel entrance in the center of the village hall, we could vaguely hear slight noises coming from inside. After this night, I guess the villagers must be hungry too, especially the children, some of whom could not help but cry. Their parents were worried that their children's cries would arouse Qiongqi, so they kept whispering comfort. It's really pitiful for the parents in the world.

I knelt down and knocked on the tunnel door a few times. It still sounded once and twice, but immediately after I knocked, there was no sound from underneath. They probably mistook it for the sound of Qiongqi using his claws to knock on the door panel, so they He would be too scared to speak out.

"Don't be afraid, it's me."

After hearing my voice, the tunnel suddenly became noisy. After a while, the village chief opened the door. Then he stretched out half of his body and looked at me and asked: "Child, are you okay?! That monster Woolen cloth?"

"It's dead. Let everyone come out. We are safe."

After hearing what I said, the villagers in the tunnel started talking again. At the same time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The stone that was weighing on their hearts was finally removed. Then after they came out of the tunnel, they all surrounded me and asked What happened, but I remained silent and didn’t mention a word about the incident.

Seeing that I didn't want to say anything, the village chief called on the villagers to go home and make fires to cook. At the same time, he also invited me to his house for dinner, saying that he wanted to thank me on behalf of the whole village. I refused because I didn't deserve their gratitude at all. What they should be grateful for was the Chongming Bird, but few people in the entire village remembered it, and many people didn't even know it existed.

It is your lifesaver...

After saying this in my mind, I rubbed my eyes and walked towards Mrs. Wang.

"Grandson..." Grandma Wang opened her arms and hugged me. Then she carefully checked my whole body and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that I was not injured.

Xueying and Mrs. Wang’s grandson also woke up. When they saw me, they hugged me together. In this way, our family hugged each other tightly as if we were reunited after a long separation, so choked up that we couldn’t speak. It feels like others can’t understand it.

After a long time, grandma asked me: "How is the Chongming Bird?"

I shook my head, tears flowing again.

Mrs. Wang understood. She reached out and wiped my tears. At the same time, she looked up at the sky and sighed: "Old friend, thank you!"

It turns out that Chongming Bird and Wang Po have known each other for a long time. Wang Po met it when she was young. Every time Wang Po encounters something, it will come to Liudaogou to help. This time Qiongqi's trouble has nothing to do with it. And knowing that he is no match for Qiongqi, it still comes. This shows how deep the relationship between Chongming Bird and Wang Po is.

"Go back! You've been busy all night. It's really hard on you. You two kids must be hungry. I'll cook for you when you go back." After Wang Po said to me, she looked at Xueying and her grandson. Son, with a loving expression on his face.

After returning home, Wang Po’s grandson started to do his own thing, while Xueying followed me every step of the way. Wang Po said that when Xueying woke up and learned that Chongmingniao and I were going to fight against Qiongqi. , Xueying was the one who was most worried about me. Several times she wanted to go out to find me, but she was stopped by Mrs. Wang.

"You must think that my trip this time will be unlucky?" I hugged Xueying and touched her head and asked.

Xueying snuggled into my arms and sobbed softly and said: "I can't let my Lulu have no father. I had already made plans at that time. If something happens to you, I will fight Qiongqi, even if I lose my own life." , I will also find someone to kill it to avenge you..."

"Silly! Isn't this a good thing for me? Don't think like this again in the future."

"Then you can't do such dangerous things again in the future!" Xueying started crying again after saying that. The sound of crying and the way she cried simply broke my heart.

"Okay, okay, Wu Than will never do this again..."

It is said that the people who care about you the most are often the people closest to you. This is true at all. The most precious thing in the world is family affection, which is incomparable to love and friendship.

However, the relationship between Xueying and I has long gone beyond love.

After comforting Xueying, we went to find Mrs. Wang. When we walked into the kitchen, we saw her squatting in a corner with her back to us, crying.

She didn't notice us, and when we saw Wang Po wiping her tears secretly, our eyes became red again.

After all, the Chongming Bird was Wang Po’s old friend for many years. It died together with Qiongqi in order to save the entire village of Liudaogou Village. This made Wang Po not sad, but it was just not easy to show it in front of so many people at the time.

"Grandma, don't cry..." I walked over to Mrs. Wang and hugged her. At this time, Xueying said softly: "After eating, let's go get the Chongming Bird back and bury it."

I sighed: "I can't take them back. Both Chongmingniao and Qiongqi were burned to death. It is estimated that the ashes have been blown away by the wind by this time."

After hearing what I said, Mrs. Wang was suddenly stunned, and then she asked me with a solemn face: "How did you just say that the Chongming Bird died?!"

"Burned to death."

"Wasn't it killed by Qiongqi?!" Wang Po asked again.

"No, it set itself on fire and burned itself to death with Qiongqi." After I finished speaking, I told Po Wang the whole story. Unexpectedly, Po Wang pondered for a while after hearing this, and then her whole person began to change. Got excited.

"Quick! Take me to the Twin Cave! Chongming can still be saved!!!"

"Is there any help?!"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Wang went back to her room to get some of her props, and at the same time asked her grandson to stay and continue cooking.

"Can you two still leave?" Wang Po came out with the props and looked at Xueying and me and asked.

"Yes!!!" Xueying and I both nodded.

"Then let's go now!"

On the way, Wang Po explained to us the cave. It turned out to be called the Twin Cave, because its entrance and exit happen to be connected, which symbolizes rebirth, which means rebirth. This twin cave is also where the Chongming bird inhabits. , as to why it chose to die together with Qiongqi in the Twin Cave, this must have its own purpose.

However, the person who knew Chongming best was Wang Po, and she naturally understood what Chongming did at that time.

"If it was killed by Qiongqi, then there really would be no way to save it. Thank God!"

Listening to Wang Po talking to herself, Xueying and I were both filled with curiosity about her words. Especially me, who had watched her and Qiongqi burn to death in front of our own eyes. It's gray, how can I save it?

But I believe in Mrs. Wang, if she says she can be saved, she will be saved! After all, she is the one who knows Chongmingniao best.

When we arrived at the twin cave entrance, the cloud of ashes was still there, but it was obviously different from the beginning.

Because I don’t know when a huge egg suddenly appeared among the ashes!

"Whose egg is this?! Such a big one?! Why didn't I have one when I left?! Where did it come from?!"

When Wang Po saw it, she shed tears and said with a smile: "Old friend, I know you are reluctant to leave me. It seems that our friendship should not be broken!"

"This egg... was transformed into a Chongming bird." Xueying murmured.

"Why can't I understand?! Then why didn't it turn into an egg then?"

At this time, Mrs. Wang turned around and said to me: "The transformation of any thing requires a certain process." After saying that, she took out a small bottle among the several props she brought, and then put a Golden powder was applied to the egg.

I came to the egg and took a closer look. I found that it was completely fiery red, and there were residual traces of flames on the surface of the eggshell. It still felt a little hot to the touch.

"This egg is somewhat similar to the one you laid when you were pregnant with Lulu." I said softly to Xueying.

Xueying pursed her lips and said nothing.

Wang Po murmured in her mouth while applying it: "Your body is not your own body, your body is not a jade body. The fire burns this body, but this body is reborn..."

Listening to the formula that Wang Po recited, I seemed to understand something!

"Grandma, the Chongming Bird..."

After applying it, Mrs. Wang nodded and asked me with a smile: "Have you ever heard of the story of rebirth from the ashes?"

"Phoenix Nirvana, reborn from the ashes!!!" Xueying replied.

"Yes, it will come out soon." After saying this, Mrs. Wang waited quietly beside us.

After a while, the egg gradually began to shake slightly, and then some cracks appeared on the surface of the eggshell. Then there were more and more cracks, and the whole egg began to shake more and more violently.

I remember Lulu seemed to be like this at that time...

"The Chongming Bird is coming out!" I said in surprise with my eyes widened.

"No, it is no longer a Chongming bird." Xueying also said expectantly.

"Then it is..."

Xueying did not answer, but made a gesture to me, suggesting that I should be silent.

Seeing the scene about to break out of her shell in front of her, Wang Po clasped her hands together and closed her eyes and chanted again: "Once a newborn bird in the world, it lurked in the secluded world to wait for the night light, but now it has transformed into a phoenix dancing in the nine heavens to save the world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light burst out from the eggshell, and then with an unusually loud cry, a huge fiery red bird burst out of the eggshell and soared into the sky. !

"Phoenix!!!" Xueying and I couldn't help shouting when we saw it.

"Long time no see! Old friend!!!" Wang Po also smiled and waved to it.

The phoenix flew several times in the sky before returning to us. It is worth mentioning that it now looks more impressive than the Chongming Bird. If the Chongming Bird makes me feel peaceful, then this phoenix can be described in two words: domineering!

Its current strength is much higher than that of Chongming. After all, it has been included in the ranks of mythical beasts. If Qiongqi comes back at this time, it will be killed instantly.

Of course, Qiongqi has no ability to rise from the ashes, so it is indeed dead.

It's okay now. There is a new patron saint in Liudaogou. I believe that with the protection of the phoenix, those ferocious beasts will not dare to come again, otherwise the flames on its body are no joke.

After we returned to the village, the figure and chirping of the phoenix continued to hover over the village. All the villagers ran out to watch. This time they finally recognized the patron saint, while I smiled and said nothing. The earth sees all this.

The breakfast cooked by Grandma Wang was very rich. Although Liudaogou is poor, its natural terrain and green ecological environment are unique, so here we tasted the most disgusting and purest game and vegetables. The taste is really not the same as in the city. The ones in it can't be compared.

Among them, Xueying and I had the most fun. After all, we were the most tired during this period of time. Originally, we could go home directly after finding the water dragon beads in Baisha Village, but who knew that under God’s arrangement These things happened again. From this, it seems that Harbin is really destined to me, but no matter what happens, this journey should end here.

It’s really time to end! Today is already August rd, and there are still nine days left before school starts, excluding the two days I have to go home from here, which means I have one week before school starts.

"Time flies so fast..." I sighed and wiped my mouth after taking a sip of soup.

"Yes, time is not forgiving, and in a few months it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival." Wang Po also said with emotion.

"Grandpa is back during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He brings a lot of things every Mid-Autumn Festival. I don't know what they are this time. I miss grandpa so much!" Grandma Wang's grandson also looked at the sky by the window in anticipation. explain.

When I mentioned my grandfather, I suddenly recalled the letter he gave me at that time, so I quickly reached into the inner pocket of my clothes and touched it.

Thank God! It's still there, but it has become very wrinkled after all the tossing. I can't imagine how I would treat the outside world if I lost it.

"Grandma, this is the letter that grandpa asked me to forward to you..."

Grandma Wang looked at the piece of paper I handed over, and her eyes suddenly brightened. After she took the letter, she looked at me with joy and asked, "Have you met him?!"

"Yeah! Just before I came here, I was in Xujia Village." I told Granny Wang what happened while I was talking. After she read the letter, her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at the signature of the letter for a long time. Word.

Now that the problem has been solved and what grandpa has done on my behalf has been completed, I got up with Xueying and said, "Grandma, it's time for us to leave."

"Are you leaving? Stay a few more days!" Wang Po wiped her eyes and stood up with her grandson to persuade her to stay.

"Grandma, you understand your grandson!" I said to her with a smile.

Mrs. Wang looked at me quietly for a while and finally nodded. Although I didn't say much, she always understood me.

When she walked out of the door, Po Wang gave Xueying an amulet and said to her: "Ling girl, although my grandson is not as capable as you, his fortune in this life is immeasurable. You are all the children chosen by God." , I handed him over to you, you must live well with my grandson!"

"And you, my little sweetheart!" After Wang Po finished talking to Xueying, she looked at me again: "I won't say more. In short, you must protect yourself outside, and try to protect yourself when you come back next time. I’ll bring a big fat boy!”

"We will definitely do it!!!" Xueying and I nodded in agreement at the same time.

During the subsequent farewell, the entire village came, including Phoenix, who also came.

We were sent from Liudaogou to Sanjiangyuan. Seeing the whole village waving goodbye to us, Xueying and I decided not to look back. After all, we had to walk the rest of the way home by ourselves.

Flying over Miegahara, looking at the paradise under my eyes, I sincerely sighed: "What a beautiful Miegahara, this day has finally come."

Goodbye, grandma.

Goodbye, Liudaogou.
