The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

: Mooncakes

Lilia had a headache, and she felt like her brain was going to explode.

“Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon.com…” Lilia hugged her head and fell into deep self-blame, “I’m all to blame. Delete it…”

That boy now knows in his heart that he has a girl he likes very much, but he only has a vague impression, and then he will put this impression on any woman with similar characteristics, so that he will fall in love uncontrollably.

Lilia understands this feeling. She has seen the dreams of countless people. The people in the dreams will always like something similar to the original beloved object. Even if there is a slight difference from the image in the dream, they will ignore it, just like only People who like to drink one kind of wine will also dream of drinking a variety of different wines in their dreams.

The boy’s memory hasn’t fully recovered, in other words, his soul is still in a state of incompleteness. Even though he doesn’t seem as stupid as before, his way of thinking is still very simple.

If the girl with white hair is the wife in his memory, then he will fall in love with all the girls with white hair.

“It’s too late to catch the vortex seed that restores his memory.” Lilia jumped on all fours in a hurry, “What should I do? If he goes on like this and sees each other, he will drive himself crazy!”

A small dream flew before Lilia’s eyes, soothing her emotions.

“Thank you…” Lilia held the little dream in her palm, tears filled her eyes, “But I really can’t think of any way to save him, he still wants to go to the spiritual realm to find that yordle and vastaya , although it is impossible for him to find them. But with his current brain, he will definitely go before he is completely given up. I can’t weave a dream at all!”

The little dream flew away from Lilia’s hand, it slowly floated to the dream tree, and finally landed on a dream flower.

“This is…” Lilia looked at the flower.

Different from all other dream flowers, the petals of this flower are extremely pure white and clean, completely without dirt, and the dream dust it spits out is also very unique, like a little bit of bright starlight.

“You mean…let him go find her?” Lilia opened her mouth wide in surprise, “But…she is…”

The little dream flickered a few times.

Lilia put her hands on her chest: “You’re right… She can take Luo to the spiritual realm for a while… But she also has white hair, Luo will see her… Wait! She’s from that place people!”

Lilia suddenly realized, she understood what the little dream meant.

“If he was asked to find her, maybe…” Lilia remembered what she had overheard from Ari.

Lilia took a deep breath: “How can there be such an entangled fate…”

She looked up at the Dream Tree: “If he didn’t have such a fate, his dream wouldn’t be able to cure Mother Tree…”

The fantasy tree swayed gently.

Lilia pondered for a long time, which was the second longest time in her life. The last time she was so hesitant was when she was hesitating whether to walk out of Wangyou Garden for the first time.

Lilia took a deep breath, and then let it out, the buds on her head opened slightly.

She made up her mind, squatted down, and started weaving dreams.

…

“Do you want some mooncakes?”

The leader of the convoy walked to the bonfire where Luo was, holding an oiled paper with a few round cakes in his hand.

“Ah! Moon cakes! I want them!” Mina was the first to raise her hand energetically.

“Here, here you are.” The team leader smiled and touched Mina’s head, as if he liked children very much, “There are egg yolk fillings, red bean fillings and five kernel fillings, choose what you like, my wife is here Made it for me before I went out.”

“I want egg yolk!” Mina happily took a piece of mooncake, “Brother Luo, sister Riwen, what fillings do you want?”

Luo turned his eyes away from Riven’s face, he didn’t know why, he obviously didn’t know Riven at all, but his heart was completely attracted by her.

“Let’s eat something first…” Luo looked at the mooncakes in the hands of the team leader.

He has never seen this kind of food. In fact, he has never eaten human food. Xia has always despised all human things. In her opinion, the natural flesh, vegetables and fruits are the most delicious things.

“Give me this.” Luo finally chose mooncakes with red bean filling.

“Alright, then I’ll give the rest to Miss Riven.” The leader handed the last piece of mooncake to Riven.

“Thank you…I don’t need to…”

“Sister, let’s eat!” Riven just wanted to refuseInterrupted by Mina, “It will be the Mid-autumn Festival soon, and you will be happy if you eat mooncakes!”

“Hahaha!” The team leader laughed out loud, “Mina is right, you have to eat, it’s a tradition.”

Riwen reluctantly took the mooncake and took a bite: “Mmm, it’s delicious.”

The team leader smiled and said, “As long as it’s delicious, I’m going to distribute mooncakes to others.”

After he left, the three people beside the fire ate mooncakes, and fell silent again.

“Why do you call it moon cake?” Luo tried to break the silence.

“Hey! Brother Luo, don’t you know?” Mina’s mouth was full of egg yolk residue, and he looked at Luo in surprise.

“Well…my hometown is very remote, and I have never heard of the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

“Then I have to talk to you carefully.” Mina swallowed the mooncakes in a hurry, “Liqiu Festival, as the name suggests, is an autumn festival!”

“Ok……”

“The day of the Mid-autumn Festival is the day when the moon is the biggest and roundest!” Mina said full of longing, “People in many places gather to enjoy the moon. I heard that you can see super big and round moons in coastal towns. The town we are going to is not far from the sea!”

“So…” Luo listened, but most of his attention was actually observing Riven from the corner of his eye.

Riven also pricked up her ears to listen carefully to what Mina said. She didn’t seem to know much about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

“Also, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival for family reunion. Mina, I came here alone just to find my grandparents!”

Riven turned her head to look at Mina: “Are you alone? Are there no elders in the team?”

Mina shook his head: “No.”

Riven looked at the little girl in surprise: “Aren’t you afraid? Alone.”

“There’s nothing to be afraid of!” Mina puffed up her chest, “I’m going to be a hero in the future, a hero among women!”

Riven gave Mina a deep look.

“What about you?” Luo took the opportunity to ask Riven, wanting to know something about her.

“I…” Riven looked down at the mooncake that she had only bitten into, “I am also alone…”

“What are you doing in the convoy?”

“Go to the market.” Riven took a sip of water. “Winter is coming soon, and my parents asked me to buy some things for the winter.”

“Didn’t they come with you?”

“They are too old and have rheumatism again, so I came alone.”

Luo still wanted to ask something, but Riven seemed to have lost the mood to continue the conversation. She handed the remaining mooncakes to Mina: “I can’t eat any more, do you want it?”

Mina shook his head: “I don’t eat five kernels, it’s so unpalatable.”

Riwen brought the mooncakes to Luo again: “What about you? If you don’t eat them, you have to throw them away. It’s a pity.”

After receiving the mooncakes, Riven pulled out a blanket from the luggage, spread it on her body and fell asleep.

“Then I’ll go to sleep too. Only when I get enough sleep can I grow taller. Good night!” Mina bounced away.

Luo and Riwen were the only ones left by the fire. Luo peeped at Riven’s face. Her sleeping face was so peaceful and beautiful that one couldn’t help but want to touch it.

“It’s so beautiful…” Luo resisted his impulse, looked down at the moon cake that was bitten in his hand, “It’s also very gentle…”

He opened his mouth and bit down on the mooncake.

“Actually, it’s quite delicious.” Luo Xin said.
