78 Couplets in Red (1/2)

Xue'er left the cave, the palm that held her umbrella was wrapped in a white cloth, with its ends dangling out from her sleeve.

This day, she decided not to walk to the cottage, the downpour had completely flooded the earth, completely destroying the beautiful scenery instead, by borrowing the use of the wind in nature, she was able to arrive in the blink of an eye.

With a deep breath, she took a few steps, preparing herself in case she was forced back again. If t did happen again, she hoped that her fall would not be broken by a tree.

Somehow she made it across. Taking a deep breath of the unique air, she opened her eyes to look around.

Strange, how this cottage was the same as when she had left, everything was intact, and not even a drop of rain had reached the grass outside. It gave a feeling the same as being in the eye of a storm. From here, she could see that the sky was a peaceful blue, with perfectly fluffy clouds floating overhead.

It was quite still and silent. How could she not have noticed?

The still air that lingered around did not seem to be the same as the place that was outside, so violent and turbulent, that not even a leaf could find peace.

It was as though she had entered a completely different world.

The green trees and grass, every flower, every weed was in the condition it was when she had left, it was as though this place was an entity itself, completely cut off from the rest of the mortal world.

Filled with excitement, she ran into the cottage, leaving the doors wide open in the process. The sun shone brightly in as its warm rays filled the interior of the cottage.

This warmth was not something that could be experienced in this season of winter, and definitely not in the current weather that had been plaguing the area of the border town. The wind here was docile and calm, while the winds outside were wild and willful, hard to tame.

Yet, Xue'er did not worry about it too much, as she picked up a book and began to read. Quickly getting trapped in this atmosphere, like a little creature thirsting for more knowledge to consume.

Meanwhile, in the hunter's shed, Gan Tian Chi was also getting ready for a lunar festival of his own. The cottage was decked out in silk balls of red near the entrance. Where there was also a strand of fireworks that hung at the entrance. There was even the character of Fortune that had been purposely hung upside down. A testimony to the traditions of the common people.

Within the shed, Gan Tian Chi's fingers were holding a weasel's tail brush, dipped in ink. His figure was hunched over a table of paper that had been dyed red, giving it a festive air.

While the ink on the brush in his hand had almost dried, he still couldn't decide what to write.
