Chapter 82 The Meaning of Travel
Paimon still couldn't make it to the second half of the night. At first, he could still chat and laugh with Ying, then gradually lowered the flight altitude, his eyelids gradually started to fight, he yawned from time to time, and finally, somehow, he curled up in Ying's arms and fell asleep.
Chen Tianfeng consciously saw this scene when he woke up: the blonde girl was holding the white-haired kid, her eyebrows were soft, and there was a gentle smile at the corners of her lips.
"The little guy fell asleep?"
Chen Tianfeng lowered his voice and frowned suddenly, thinking that this sentence and this scene appeared at the same time, which seemed to be wrong.
"Well, after all, he is still a child."
Ying also answered in a low voice, looking up at the sky, "It's still early, aren't you going to sleep?"
"Well, I'm awake now, so I won't sleep."
Chen Tianfeng turned over the bonfire to make the firewood below burn more fully, and then put a few more firewood on top of the bonfire-Ying was holding Paimon, and it was obviously difficult to take care of the bonfire, and could only ensure that the flame did not go out.
Ying carefully held Paimeng and put her into the tent. Just as she was about to pull over the thin blanket to cover her, an arm holding a thick blanket came into her sight.
"It's quite cold, cover yourself with this."
Chen Tianfeng put down the blanket and sat down by the campfire.
Ying pursed her lips and looked at the blanket with a flickering look in her eyes. She was sure that there was no place on Chen Tianfeng's body to hide such a large blanket, so... this world also has space storage technology?
Ying thought about it, and after placing Paimeng, she returned to the campfire.
"Huh? Why don't you go to rest?" Chen Tianfeng raised his eyebrows.
"It's still early. As a young man with a normal schedule, it's far from time to sleep." Ying shook her head.
"Then do you want to chat?" Chen Tianfeng nodded: "You seem to be ignorant of many things."
"You really saw it."
Ying smiled embarrassedly, the orange-red firelight shone on her side face, and her round chin looked softer: "My hometown is very remote, so remote that many people on the continent of Teyvat don't know it. This is also my first time traveling alone in the continent of Teyvat, and I found that I didn't know so many things."
Chen Tianfeng was silent for a few seconds, always feeling that these words sounded familiar, and they were very similar to the words he used to fool others when he first arrived in Teyvat.
That's right, it's normal to be vigilant when meeting for the first time, otherwise he wouldn't have to propose his suggestion to guard the second half of the night - barely a show of sincerity.
Such a Ying is in line with the identity of [Traveler Traveling the Star Sea]. It is impossible for a simple naive person to travel the star sea. It is the kindness of the world that a naive person can live a normal life.
".Normal, no one in this world knows everything."
Chen Tianfeng looked normal and found it very interesting.
Did Ying lie? No, she just didn't tell the whole truth.
"Ying, why did you start traveling?"
Chen Tianfeng thought of Wendy's words and looked at this [Senior]: "What is the meaning of your travel?"
"I have always traveled with my brother, but because of some accidents, my brother and I were separated. So, the purpose of my travel now is to find my brother."
Ying hugged her knees with her arms, thought for a few seconds, and said: "As for the meaning of travel, it should be the scenery on the journey and the new friends you meet."
"To witness a wider world, make more friends, taste more food, experience or participate in many interesting or boring stories, are all precious nutrients for the growth of the soul."
The blonde girl smiled gently, with a light flashing in her eyes: "That's why I like traveling so much, it allows me to meet a more real and perfect self."
"What about the end of the journey? The journey always ends, what kind of ending do you expect to get?" Chen Tianfeng asked.
"Those beautiful processes, memorable stories and beautiful scenery are the endings I expect."
"Is that so?"
Chen Tianfeng was thoughtful, his eyes slightly lowered: "Then what do you think of those who don't travel? Those who stay in one place all their lives, can't or don't want to go out, and are only willing to stay where they are and live their own lives."
"That's good too." The girl said seriously: "They must have walked a long way in their hearts."
Even those who are taciturn have flowers in their hearts.
Whether you choose to travel or stay where you are, it is an attitude towards life that cannot be blamed. If you want a stable life, stop and make three or five good friends. My hometown is where I feel at ease; if you want to witness the vast world, pack your bags, meet every story unexpectedly, and be a free and easy lone traveler.
Chen Tianfeng was stunned for a long time, and a smile emerged little by little, which was a bit of the boy's wantonness and publicity.
He didn't like this world at all. Although this world has magical elemental power, dragons, gods, and magic, and can see many magnificent scenes that the original world can't see, he just doesn't like it.
But now, he wants to understand this world and try to like it.
Traveling and finding ways to become stronger seems to be a good way of life.
Maybe Wendy sent him here to tell him this truth through the traveler: Teyvat is wonderful and worth visiting and witnessing. Now that he is here, wouldn't it be a pity if he doesn't see more scenery?
——It can't be that they think he is full of poison, so they try every means to coax him to leave and harm other countries?
How is it possible? Although Wendy is lazy and does not do his job, and often does things that make people's blood pressure soar and helpless, he would not do such a thing. Right?
Wait, Mr. Zhongli seems to be trying to persuade him to travel.
Chen Tianfeng was silent for a moment, thinking that it is better not to delve into some things.
If Wendy and Zhongli really have this idea, then when he is tired of traveling and wants to settle down, he will go back and forth between Mondstadt and Liyue - damn, these two old guys are annoying!
"Thank you for your advice, I will learn from you."
He looked serious and bowed his hands, which was considered a salute to Ying.
"Huh?"
Ying was stunned for a moment, imitated him, bowed his hands, and tilted his head slightly: "No, you're welcome?"
Why did he thank you suddenly? It's so strange.
Ying blinked, quite puzzled.
Chen Tianfeng's expression was normal, not awkward at all, and he changed the topic very naturally: "There is still some time, Ying, do you have anything to ask?"
"Well, let me think about it." Ying pondered and said: "Mond is the Kingdom of Wind, so what is the name of the country adjacent to Mond?"
"Liyue, the Kingdom of Rock." Chen Tianfeng answered, and then without waiting for Ying to speak again, he continued: "There are seven countries in Teyvat: Mond, Liyue, Inazuma, Fontaine, Solstice, Nata and Xumi. They correspond to the seven elements of wind, rock, thunder, water, ice, fire and grass, and each country has a god."
He recalled and thought, deleted and reduced, and told a set of information like a world introduction.
Ying opened her mouth, her eyes flickered slightly, and she suspected that Chen Tianfeng knew something. She thought about it, and listened quietly to the information that Chen Tianfeng told her, which was very important to her now, and she did not choose to make it clear.
Chen Tianfeng had no ill intentions, this was something she could be sure of, and that was enough.
At this time, the stars were just right and the night was quiet. A rhythmic "splashing" sound came from the river in the distance. The moonlight fell, casting shadows of the trees on the ground. When the wind blew, the shadows of the trees swayed gently.
