NOVEL NEXT Chapter 263 The song of prayer
No one heard what Xie Bian said, and the space between the two of them seemed to have been cut off.
Xu Feng looked into Xie Bian's eyes, trying to find even a trace of confusion in them.
But it was clear and unusually calm.
After a moment of silence, Xu Feng decided to show off his cards.
"So why did you bring me in, to show off your achievements?"
Xie Bi'an chuckled lightly and said, "It's been too long since outsiders showed up. If you are interested in us, we are also interested in you."
"Are you interested in staying? We can be friends."
Xu Feng paused for a moment, "Friend?"
"Are we like them, subject to endless reincarnations of birth, old age, illness, and death?"
Xu Feng could probably guess it from the girl's introduction.
The dead will be buried in the cemetery, and then either be born as a child or appear as a lost person, and the dead will reappear in the town.
The nightmare world is sparsely populated, and it is impossible for Eversleep Town to remain so orderly with new people appearing.
Xu Feng's guess is the only explanation.
Coupled with other subtle descriptions, Xu Feng has determined that this is the only explanation.
Of course, I dare not say that I am 100% sure. I am so sure, just for testing.
And Xie Bian didn't even have the idea of quibble, he just said meaningfully, "Aren't you guys?"
Xu Feng frowned slightly and was about to raise a question when the train stopped at a station.
Some people leave and some come up.
But without exception, everyone was very respectful to Xie Bi'an.
The train started again. Xie Bian ignored Xu Feng's contemplation and said, "A friendly reminder. If you want to leave, you can wait until the first train tomorrow morning."
"But I hope you won't bother us again."
"If you are willing to stay, of course we will welcome you, but please abide by the rules here, otherwise you will definitely suffer, because I will not be the only one to attack you."
The cycle is not closed after all, and Xu Feng will find an entrance here sooner or later.
So Xie Bian simply opened the gap and allowed Xu Feng to explore.
Perhaps Xu Feng expressed enough goodwill in the girl's shop that Xie Bian thought Xu Feng was a worthy person to communicate with.
That's why he showed up and facilitated this meeting.
The train continued to move forward and soon reached the next stop. Xie Bian stood up and said, "You have enough time to think about it, but before that, please don't ruin their lives."
"Then, welcome to Eversleep Town, have fun."
Without stopping any longer, he walked straight off the train.
Everyone said goodbye warmly, as if there was no violence and all kinds of negative emotions here.
It is also possible that these people have lost the qualification to have negative emotions.
Xu Feng sat in the car and meditated, enjoying the rare afternoon time.
If you want to cause trouble, it's not difficult to kill wantonly and disturb the peace here.
Or deliberately cause certain errors to make people aware of their own abnormalities.
But Xu Feng wasn't sure there was any value in doing so. Perhaps because the girl treated him to breakfast, Xu Feng was embarrassed to be so heartless.
An afternoon of wandering yielded no more clues.
The residents are not exclusive and are even willing to tell Xu Feng some things about the town.
The family is short-sighted, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar.
Yongmian Town has existed for many years, and the oldest people in the town have long since passed away.
However, the town has been inherited in an orderly manner, generation after generation, and even the population has not changed much.
No one thinks there is anything wrong with this. Everyone just thinks this is God's refuge.
As evening approached, the lights under the eaves were lit, and Xu Feng, who had been wandering around for a day, returned to the girl's shop.
The girl kept looking at the door and was relieved when she saw Xu Feng's appearance.
"I thought you were lost. Let's have dinner quickly. We're going to watch the oiran's performance."
Xu Feng was stunned for a moment, Oiran?
However, the girl pulled up Xu Feng's sleeves without any notice and sat directly on a table in the store.
This time there were no outsiders and the food was more exquisite.
There was even a jug of wine, said to be the work of an older man in the town.
After three drinks, I also ate a lot of food.
Xu Feng leaned back with some satisfaction, and then asked the girl about the oiran's performance.
The girl put away the dishes and said, "The oiran is the most beautiful person in the town and performs for everyone every day."
"We will light a large number of prayer lamps on the lake and pray together that the town can survive like this for a long time."
He actually became happy as he said, "Perhaps God heard our prayers. There has been no disaster in the town for decades."
"Occasionally passers-by will settle here, and the people in the town won't have any dissatisfaction about it."
At this point, he paused for a moment and said with some anticipation, "Would you like to stay too? I believe everyone will be very happy."
Xu Feng smiled faintly and said, "Sorry, I still have a lot of things to do."
"But I can promise you that I will definitely come to see you when I have time in the future."
The girl was a little disappointed and stopped talking for a while.
By the time the dishes and chopsticks were put away, there was a continuous sound of firecrackers outside.
There are also fireworks blooming in the sky, and more and more people are gathering at the lakeside, where prayer lamps have been lit, illuminating the surroundings like daylight.
The girl quickly regained her composure and pulled Xu Feng to a location near the lake.
Everyone in the town is here, and praying is a tradition. There may not be so many people every day, but everyone is willing to put on their costumes on days like this and gather here until the ceremony is over.
Apart from being too harmonious, there is no loophole in this town.
Xie Bian was also here, but he just glanced at Xu Feng and ignored him.
And the teacher Xu Feng saw in the morning, with long hair and a suit.
His expression was dull, and he lost the scrutiny he had when we met in the morning.
It's just that the child he saw in the morning is also with him, but he has an inexplicable hostility towards Xu Feng.
Xu Feng followed the girl and squeezed into the crowd until he reached the front and saw the familiar pavilion in the lake.
It was here that I saw the back of Hongdie last time. This time I came here to find Hongdie to ask some questions, but she never showed up.
Not long after, a familiar humming sound sounded, and the figure of Hongdie quietly appeared in the middle of the stage.
No one wondered where the red butterfly came from.
Maybe they have watched this kind of performance countless times, or maybe they are already used to it.
As the red butterfly hummed, people began to sing along.
There was some confusion at first, but it quickly unified and spread.
The sound resounded throughout the world, but was firmly bound to the small town.
It was not a language that Xu Feng was familiar with, but Xu Feng could hear the emotion in it.
I pray that the disaster will pass soon, that the grain will be abundant, and that the people will be safe.
