Chapter Twenty-One: Silent Night

  After the phone is turned on, the signal above is still empty, and it's just a few words, only for emergency calls. Lin Feng suddenly thought of taking a photo of Xiao to use as a screensaver, this is a real-life ancient beauty! But thinking that it was at night, in case the flash scares her, he had to dismiss the idea!

  Then Lin Feng took the mobile phone to the middle of the two, and explained to Xiao Yan: "This thing is called a mobile phone, also known as a telephone, it has many uses! It can...". While speaking, he demonstrated various uses to her, said a lot, then looked at Xiao Yan, surprisingly still looking puzzled.

  Lin Feng shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Xiao Yun, this thing can actually sing songs, do you want to listen?"

  "What? It can sing?" Xiaoyan was clearly startled by Lin Feng's words.

  "Ah, yes, it can sing! Let's hear it sing a song!" Lin Feng patted Xiaoyan's leg, signaling her to calm down and not be afraid. Xiaoyan was still a bit dazed, but nodded and hummed in agreement.

  Lin Feng adjusted the music, thought for half a day, and picked out a song that one person often listened to, a long time ago, Xue Kaiqi's "A Person's Amnesia", then turned the volume down to the smallest, and the phone slowly emitted sound:

  You want to travel but I can't go yet

  Are you unhappy because of me?

  I'm never sure how much longer I can rely on you

  。。。

  But I can no longer look at you naturally

  Pretend nothing happened between the two of them

  A person loses memory

  。。。

  Not long after, Xiaoyan leaned her head on Lin Feng's shoulder and listened quietly. Lin Feng was also thinking that he was now in this place, really alone with amnesia, without even one person who shared a common language. When the song ended, Xiaoyan suddenly spoke up: "Feng Ge, can you let it sing again?"

  "Ah, of course!" Lin Feng said, and then started again... This time when he sang to the end, Xiao Yan had already begun to sob.

  Lin Feng turned his head and saw that Xiaoyan had already shed a lot of tears. He quickly helped her up and asked, "Xiaoyan, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

  Xiao Yan wiped away her tears and asked Lin Feng with a smile: "Brother Feng, why does it sound so good yet so sad? It's like there's a sense of sadness... what's going on? Did something happen?"

  Lin Feng was thoroughly helpless and hastily explained, "It's nothing, it's just singing a song, nothing has happened! Don't think wildly, this is just for listening!"

  "But I can tell, it really sounds pitiful and helpless. Xiaoyan continued to ask relentlessly, Ah! This girl's curiosity is just too strong!"

  Lin Feng continued to explain patiently: "Nothing has happened, it's just that some people like to hear this kind of feeling, so they sing about this feeling. People listen and are satisfied, then they can give them money, and they can make a profit!" After finishing, Lin Feng quickly added another sentence: "I already gave it money earlier, so now we don't need to give it money anymore!" He was really afraid that this girl would insist on giving money, which would be self-inflicted trouble!

  "It's getting a bit cold, Feng Ge, let's head back!" Xiao Xian stood up and wiped away her tears, shivering from the gust of wind.

  Lin Feng got up and moved around, feeling a bit chilly too, so he agreed: "Yeah, let's go back!" Ah, mom, if only there was a windbreaker, it would be great! Why suffer from the cold? In ancient Chang'an, even on summer nights, it shouldn't be this cold, right? Is it because we're in the mountains?

  Just as he helped Xiao Xian walk up the small path, he suddenly felt a strong foul odor wafting from not far away, and Lin Feng's vigilance increased greatly. He pulled Xiao Xian behind him and drew out his dagger with one swift motion.

  "What's wrong, Lin Feng?" Xiao Yan was suddenly pulled behind by Lin Feng and also got a fright, tightly hugging one of Lin Feng's arms. His intuition told him that there was danger, and it wasn't small! Lin Feng suddenly remembered what Zhao Lao and the others said at dinner about wild beasts in the nearby area, and he instantly regretted it - why did he have to come to this place in the middle of the night for no reason?! It would be fine if he were alone, with his own abilities, escaping wouldn't be a problem, but now there was Xiao Yan by his side, he couldn't run!

  I can only grit my teeth and leave, if I can walk, then I'll walk, if not, I can only struggle on. Can't just abandon Xiaonian here, right? If so, I'd despise myself!

  "Don't worry, follow me!" Lin Feng said as he carefully moved in the direction of their base, but his eyes and ears were still on high alert, because hidden dangers were the most terrifying, and unseen enemies were the most deadly. Xiao Yan also followed Lin Feng slowly.

  Suddenly, a reflective light came out from the forest in front of us on the left. It was the bright light reflected by the moonlight on its eyes. Lin Feng discovered it immediately. It seemed to be about 30 meters away from us, and we couldn't run away anymore. We could only wait for an opportunity to get on first! Hopefully, it wasn't some kind of ferocious beast... Let's pray!

  Lin Feng looked back, then turned around and slowly pushed Xiao Yan to the edge of the creek. However, his ears were still listening intently for any movement from that direction. It was too quiet, with only the sound of the flowing water and a faint smell of stench. He didn't know when he last brushed his teeth or rinsed his mouth!

  They arrived at the creek, and Lin Feng directly picked up Xiao Yan and carried her to a large rock in the middle of the creek. He waded through the water and put her down on the rock, then whispered: "Xiao Yan, no matter what happens next, don't make any noise, can't distract me, understand? Be good!" Xiao Yan was already scared out of her wits and could only nod subconsciously. Lin Feng patted her shoulder: "Be good, nothing will happen, I'm here. Just stay here quietly!"

  After finishing speaking, Lin Feng turned around and returned to the shore. He glanced in that direction, and those eyes were still staring at him motionlessly. After Lin Feng came ashore, he took two steps forward, feeling something was off. Then, he bent down and wrung out the water from his pant legs with force before standing up again. Lin Feng casually picked up a thumb-sized stone and put it into his waist, which affected his movement too much.

  They stared at each other like this for a full ten minutes, while Lin Feng was considering how to make his move, thinking of many methods, but none of them were feasible, because he had Xiao Yan behind him, and the opponent was in the forest, any sneak attack would make a noise.

  Lin Feng was the one who started it, he stared at it for seven or eight hours, and as soon as dawn broke, everything was completely safe. However, the other party was clearly impatient and had already begun to move, but they were still lingering around the original location, not making any aggressive advances. Until now, Lin Feng couldn't even see what the opponent looked like, he could only see a pair of big eyes! Judging from the shape of the eyes, it was absolutely not some kind of harmless small animal.

  Another ten minutes or so passed, and the other party suddenly started moving from Lin Feng's left front to his right front, but still hiding in the woods. Lin Feng could only hear a very dull footsteps, he suddenly thought of a way.
