Then again, the lake looks like just an ordinary lake, so how can one fish people out of it? Very puzzled, utterly puzzled, and unable to figure out the reason, Surtel walked into the ruins of the town. After entering the ruins of the town, she was still distracted by thinking about this problem. until…… "Hey, we meet again, girl. Are you here to rest as well?" A friendly and warm greeting interrupted her thoughts. His thoughts were disrupted and Surtel came back to his senses. Then, looking at Chen An and the other two whom she had met by the lake in the afternoon, who were almost in front of her, she was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but make a surprised sound. "……Eh?" ……

新年 快乐 As I said earlier, I had been thinking about reopening Gensokyo after finishing Arknights, and I was going to delete this book, but I haven't deleted it yet, which is really a headache. Hey, I really want to write what I want to write, Remi stabbing Chen An, Yonglin chasing her husband to the crematorium, adding all kinds of scenes to the remake, modifying those not-so-happy plots, but the result... Damn it! Why can't I write any words? If this goes on, when will I be able to finish Arknights and continue to bring laughter to others! The reality is that, with the arrival of the new year, people are urging me to go on blind dates again. I am really fed up. Isn't it nice to be single? If you live a good life alone, you don't have to worry about anything. Why are you urging me? Besides, in this day and age, who knows what kind of monsters your blind date partners might be. If you can't find the right one, you'll just have to make do with it. Who knows how many troubles you'll have in the future... Oh, by the way, by the way, are there any pretty ladies who are being urged to find a partner? If there are any, please contact me, thank you! There are still many things I want to say, but forget it, they are all things that are not worth mentioning, so let’s get back to the topic. Happy New Year, I wish you all good luck in the New Year, family reunion, and may you be vigorous and vigorous in the new year, and everything goes well (bow). ...Well, if nothing unexpected happens, updates will resume after the New Year. Plot suggestions requested Isn't the New Year almost over? I planned to continue updating, but I've been thinking about it for two days and I still can't think of what to write next, so I'll just post a chapter here. If you have anything you want to read or if you think there's an interesting plot, please give me some feedback. If possible, I'll select some and write an outline. If there is nothing, I will spend a few more days polishing it and write a sequence outline. Well, for normal plots, I won’t need to write about the protagonist dying at every turn. I will write about it in the next book. Chapter 172: Abduction in Public The crackling sound of the burning fire dispelled the darkness around. Surtel sat by the fire, holding a bowl of steaming fish soup in both hands, with Chen An's robe draped over her legs - her clothes were rather thin, and although she did not feel very cold, Chen An did not think so either - the robe was forced upon her by Chen An. He took a sip of the fish soup carefully and was a little surprised by its delicious taste. Why does this fish soup taste so good? Linglan felt the same way, she drank her soup happily while looking at Chen An expectantly. "Big brother. The food you cook is always so delicious. Can you teach me when we get back to Qiecheng?" "Okay."

Chen An agreed with a smile. Wei Cao remained silent, thinking that after returning to Qiecheng, he would find an opportunity to learn cooking skills from Chen An. At this time, Surtel spoke. "Hello. Do we know each other?" "Yes, I know you. Didn't I tell you my name before?" Surtel was in a weird mood. She didn't know Chen An, at least not before, and neither did Wei Cao and Lily of the Valley. The reason why she was sitting by the fire eating with Chen An and the others was because of their previous encounter. After introducing himself, Chen An didn't ask anything, but enthusiastically invited her to stay and eat something together. It was not because he was moved by Chen An's enthusiasm, but he had originally planned to rest in the ruins of this small town. He also thought of the scene where Chen An caught a person with a fishing rod by the lake in the afternoon. He thought that he might ask him what was going on, so after hesitating for a long time, Surtel stayed. ——Sarter would never admit that his fishing skills were poor. After that, the situation was a little surprising to Surtel. Because Chen An didn't ask her anything, why she came here, who she was, or any of those unpleasant questions. After thoughtfully giving her warm clothes and introducing her to lily of the valley and reeds, he was busy preparing for dinner. When they occasionally spoke, it was just some trivial matters like chatting with friends. Of course, all these small talk was initiated by Chen An herself, and she basically didn't say a word. This made Surtel a little strange, because Chen An's attitude was too familiar, as if he had known her for a long time, and there was no strangeness at all. Could it be... that I knew him before? Because of amnesia, Surtel's mind was filled with all kinds of strange memories and couldn't help but have this thought in his mind: Finally, she couldn't help but feel weird and curious, and after drinking half a bowl of fish soup, she couldn't help but speak. However, Chen An's answer did not satisfy her. What do you mean by knowing each other? I've already mentioned your name before. This answer is too perfunctory. She put down the bowl in her hand, looking a little unhappy. "I mean before." "I saw you before... by the lake in the afternoon. Does this count?" Chen An’s answer stunned Surtel for a moment. “You saw me then” "Of course, girl, why do you think I left the fishing rod behind? I'm not the kind of person who likes to throw things away." Chen An used a branch to stir the fire and answered Surtel with a smile: "It's just that I saw you spent so much time looking at me, and you seemed to be quite interested in fishing, but you didn't seem to have any fishing gear, so I left my fishing rod to you. Anyway..." He nodded thoughtfully: "The fishing rod is clearly in your hands, and you came here so late... Oh, I see, you must have put the fish you caught back into the lake. No wonder you are empty-handed. You are so kind." Originally, he wanted to ask why he had nothing in his hands, but then he noticed that Surtel's face looked a little unhappy, and suddenly he understood something. Chen An was very considerate and found a reason for Surtel and ended the topic.

Hearing Chen An's words, Lily of the Valley and Reed couldn't help but look at the fishing rod next to Surtel. They hadn't noticed it before, but now they realized that the fishing rod actually belonged to Chen An. At the same time, they also resolved a small doubt in their hearts - in their cognition, Chen An was not the kind of person who would lose his temper or throw things around. Getting angry at the fishing rod and throwing it away because he couldn't catch the fish he wanted to catch seemed like something Chen An would not do. So when they left the lake and Chen An threw away his fishing rod, they were all a little surprised. Why would Chen An do such a thing? But it wasn’t a big deal, and Chen An seemed a little unhappy at the time, so he didn’t ask more questions. Now after hearing Chen An's explanation, they suddenly realized that Chen An did not throw down the fishing rod because he was angry, but because he thought that others might need it, so he took the opportunity to leave the fishing rod to others. It turns out that my elder brother hasn't changed at all. Linglan looked towards Chen An secretly, her eyes illuminated by the firelight, full of attachment and admiration. Surtel remained silent, neither confirming nor denying what Chen An said. She stared at the fire for a while, but she didn't have the nerve to admit that she was empty-handed simply because she couldn't catch any fish, so she changed the subject abruptly: "The fish soup is delicious. You are a great cook." "Thanks for the compliment." After saying this, Surtel stopped talking. Chen An was quite talkative: "Girl, you are traveling alone, right?" "How do you know?" Surtel raised his eyebrows. "I can tell." He picked up a grilled fish and handed it to Surtel. After she took it, Chen An glanced at the greatsword placed beside her along with the fishing rod, revealing a thoughtful look, and then continued in a gentle voice: "I have also traveled alone for a long time, and I naturally have my own opinions on whether others are traveling or whether they are traveling alone. So, girl, why are you traveling?" Sulter said nothing. "Everyone has their own reasons for traveling, whether they want to see the scenery of other places or simply can't sit still. Like me, when I first started traveling, I didn't think of stopping, so I could only travel everywhere... No, it's not traveling, but the experience during that time should be called wandering." As if because he was recalling the past, Chen An's face was full of sighs and nostalgia, as well as a hint of inexplicable sadness. "Later, I felt that this kind of travel was a bit boring, but I didn't know where to stop, and I couldn't stop, so I had to continue traveling. It was not until a long, long time later that I finally stopped traveling for that reason." Without going into detail about his experiences at that time, he added: "Later, I still traveled frequently, but compared to the past, my travels now are just pure sightseeing, visiting various places, and I rarely travel alone... Hmm, it seems to be off topic." Chen An smiled apologetically at Surtel and got back to the point: "So girl, why are you traveling?" Surtel did not answer, but looked at Chen An with narrowed eyes. She felt that there was something else behind Chen An's words. Chen An smiled and looked into Surtel's eyes without avoiding his gaze. After a while, Surtel looked away. Her eyesight was too good, and the fire was too bright. If she looked into Chen An's eyes, she would feel uncomfortable and weird after looking at him for a long time.

"My business has nothing to do with you. Why do you care so much?" Her tone was unfriendly and gave people a fierce feeling. "Of course I have no right to interfere, but the world is so big, and it's fate that we met. If we meet by chance and become friends, it's normal to say a few more words in this situation." The firelight depicted Chen An's smile, which was very warm. Looking at him, Surtel's expression was very impatient. "Oh, so what do you want to say? Do you want to talk about how pathetic your past was, or do you want to ask so many annoying whys?" "Of course not, I just want to say... Girl, do you want to try to stop and experience life, or find some companions to continue traveling?" Chen An pointed at the greatsword beside Surtel, and then pointed at his own head: "Other people's things are always theirs. If you take those things as your goal, no matter how hard you pursue them, what you will find in the end are just empty and illusory things. Girl, your life is short. Isn't it more important to live your own life than to pursue those illusory things that don't belong to you?" "you!?" Faced with the puzzled looks of Lily of the Valley and Reed, Surtel's eyes narrowed and he subconsciously grabbed the greatsword beside him, looking at Chen An with a look of astonishment and vigilance. Chen An didn't care, he just smiled and said: "I know a place. The people there are all nice people, and there are many Sarkaz like you. I can introduce you to join there, and there, you may be able to find something that belongs to you. If one day you feel unhappy there, you can just leave, and no one will stop you. How about it, do you want to try to join?" “Life is not long. Sometimes the experiences in between are more important than the goals you pursue.” "In the place I'm talking about, you might be able to have a different experience and find something that belongs to you. Even if you just regard it as an episode in a long journey, it would be a good choice." Chen An repeated what he said before, and then smiled and invited Surtel again: "So girl, do you want to listen to my advice and join Dawn?" Surtr tightly grasped the greatsword (actually a staff) in his hand and looked at Chen An without saying a word. In the flickering firelight, his smile was sincere and warm. ...... Chapter 173: Friends The sound of rain is continuous, and the sky and the earth become one. Lying on the sofa, bored, Xiao Aneng stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. Xiao A couldn't help but turn over and bury his face in his arms and made a decadent sound. "It's been raining for a whole day. Is it going to stop? And there's that guy. We agreed to go out for two days. How many days is it now? Why hasn't he come back yet?" Little Texas, who was curled up on the other side of the sofa playing with his phone, looked up at her with an unfriendly look and a bit of annoyance. If it weren't for you talking nonsense and making Didi stupid, how could Chen An run away from home? And now you have the nerve to complain. You really deserve a beating. "Yes." Ghost Shark, who was lying on the carpet holding a pillow and reading a comic book, suddenly sat up, huffing. "Isn't it just to stop him from telling ghost stories to scare people? Why are you so stingy? It's fine if you run out to play by yourself, but you don't even take me with you. You're gone for several days at a time. That's too much."

"You're right." Xiao Aneng praised it highly. But apart from her, no one paid any attention to Ghost Shark. Skadi and Reddie sat in front of the TV and played games together. Since they rarely played games, they were both confused about how to use the controllers. If Reddie hadn't known that she couldn't hit the monster on the screen, she would have thrown down the controller and done it herself.
