Chapter 237 Unraveling the sequelae
Shen Li found Chen Nong in the library. Fortunately, Chen Nong had just entered the library not long ago and had not yet entered a state of addiction. Shen Li said that he had something serious to discuss, but he was only depressed for a moment. Just walked out with him.
The two of them arrived at Chen Nong's house in Si Ye Mansion, called for dinner, and planned to talk while eating.
Shen Li told Chen Nong about Mi August's plan and wanted to ask Chen Nong what he thought of it and his plan for implementation.
Who would have thought that after hearing this, Chen Nong was so excited that he said, "Why didn't I think of it? Why didn't I think of it! That's right, how could we exclude the weird things in the city? Since it is the sacrifice of the Night Travel God Festival, weirdness is also included.”
"As expected of Master Mi, as worthy of His Highness the Goddess, maybe he has received an oracle."
"Great, this is really great."
Shen Li has become accustomed to Chen Nong's occasional In his crazy state, seeing how well he accepted Mi August's plan, he couldn't help but reflect on himself: I thought too much, didn't know how to adapt, and couldn't keep up with the changes in Beiyuan City.
Next, Chen Nong even forgot to eat the dinner that was served. He was full of inspiration and told Shen Li his thoughts. What should be done about the night parade, what programs should be set up, and how to make the people happy? Celebrate this with the weird ones.
Shen Li has completely become a listener, constantly absorbing the output from Chen Nong, and can’t help but feel that Chen Nong’s mind is broad and every idea and plan is feasible.
An afternoon passed like this, and Chen Nong alone came up with the implementation plan for the weird celebration of the Night Parade Festival. This speed is far faster than when he was discussing the new winter festival, which also shows where Chen Nong's talents and interests lie.
Shen Li originally came to him for discussion, but it was an unexpected surprise that he got the complete plan directly.
Next, he was too embarrassed to occupy Chen Nong's time anymore, so he turned to Pei Yan with the plan given by Chen Nong.
It was already dark outside. Shen Li arrived at Pei Mansion in a carriage. When the concierge saw that it was him, he let him in directly.
Pei Yan had already had dinner and was dealing with official duties. When he learned of Shen Li's arrival, he invited him directly to the study.
The two sat together.
Shen Li explained his intention.
Pei Yan agreed without saying a word and expressed his full cooperation with Si Yefu.
The next step is to discuss the details.
The two of them chatted for several hours, until the servant knocked on the door and came in to ask if they wanted the kitchen to prepare a midnight snack.
Pei Yan invited Shen Li to stay overnight but Shen Li declined.
"It is inconvenient to disturb the governor, and it is a busy time when the night tour envoys return today."
Pei Yan was stunned, "The night tour envoys are back today?"
Shen Li knew from his tone that he didn't know the news yet.
In the same way, the night travelers who go out for training are very secretive whether they leave or come back, and outsiders cannot get the news at all.
Pei Yan couldn't sit still.
When Shen Li nodded, he stood up and said, "In this case, I will take the director back to his house, and by the way, I will stay at Siye Mansion for one night." After failing to stay, he took the initiative to go to someone else's house. Stay overnight. If it were the relationship between the two in the past, it would be impossible to even think about it, let alone say it.
At this time, Shen Li also knew that Pei Yan was yearning for his daughter, so he agreed.
Pei Yan immediately called for people to prepare the carriage. After getting into the carriage with Shen Li, he asked Shen Li about the night tour envoys' outing to experience this time. Of course Shen Li knew that he mainly wanted to know what Pei Rongrong had gone through. Some secrets were inconvenient for him to tell and he didn't know clearly, so he told Pei Yan that Pei Rongrong was safe and sound, but the casualties of the night traveler were not disclosed.
Pei Yan felt mixed after hearing this. He was relieved that Pei Rongrong was fine, but also felt sorry for the casualties of the night tour envoys. Thinking that Pei Rongrong would continue to experience these dangers in the future, he didn't want Pei Rongrong to go there in the bottom of his heart.
Even if you want to go, you can make it bigger, right? Pei Yan made excuses for his daughter in his heart. In fact, his daughter was indeed very young.
Shen Li said: "The Night Parade Festival is scheduled to fall on the same day as the Pohan Festival. It is not only in line with the trend, but also because I selfishly want to give these children some comfort early so that they can feel the grace of God and relax their body and mind."
Pei Yan's thoughts were brought back by his words, as if he had some realization.
Pohan Festival sounds nice to say, but in fact it was not a good holiday for the people of Beiyuan City in the past. The arrival of the Cold Winter Festival every year means that Beiyuan City has officially entered the cold season. Even if the shops reduce their prices on the Cold Winter Festival, there are still poor families who have to endure the cold to survive the following cold season.
Winter in Beiyuan City is already miserable without the arrival of a cold wave. Once a cold wave sweeps through, some people will inevitably die.
This year's Beiyuan City is obviously different. The people are not as uneasy about the coming of the Pohan Festival as in previous years. As the prefect, he is no longer worried about it. It can be said that he is in the best mood to welcome the Pohan Festival. It was a relaxing time.
Before Shen Li proposed the Night Parade Festival, he occasionally thought that this year's Pohan Festival would be peaceful.
Now that there is a plan for the Night Parade Festival, in addition to this tranquility, there is also excitement and prosperity, which is the true beautiful meaning of the Winter Breaking Festival.
Pei Yan imagined the festival scene according to the plan in his mind. It was really exciting, and he probably understood the meaning of Shen Li's words.
——No matter what you experience outside, returning to your familiar hometown and feeling the prosperity and warmth of your hometown is the most comforting thing for your body and mind.
——The Night Walkers are the favored apostles of the Night Walker God in the human world, and the Night Walker Festival is also a festival to worship the gods. On this night, they are no longer the night watchmen who hid in the darkness and endured the cold winter in previous years, but The glorious one clothed with divine grace.
Pei Yan said: "Even if time is tight, we must hold this first night parade well."
At this time, Pei Yan didn't know yet, but his guess was generally correct. , I just thought about the changes experienced by the Night Travelers a little bit lightly.
When he heard the so-called casualties, he just thought it was the same as training to suppress bandits. One or two deaths could only be considered a small number. It was not that he felt pity for the young casualties, but he didn't pay much attention to them.
When he went to find Pei Rongrong the next day, he happened to see the group of night wanderers who could be distinguished from other teenagers at a glance.
Serious, vigilant, cold...
Even if some young people are smiling, they still give people a sense of danger, and the moment they look at each other, they feel like being pricked by needles.
Pei Yan was frightened and even more worried about Pei Rongrong's condition. When he saw Pei Rongrong in person, he looked her up and down again and again to make sure that she did not become like those night wanderers, then he felt a little relieved.
The reason why I say he is 'slightly' relieved is because Pei Yan has an indescribable feeling. He feels that his daughter, who looks the same, has actually changed somewhat from two months ago. How exactly has she changed? It’s indescribable.
I have to say that he is a father after all, and Pei Yan's feeling is actually correct.
Pei Rongrong, who has also experienced the dangers of Lingzhou, is in a different state of mind than she was two months ago. However, she was taught by Zuo Si himself, and she is so weird that Pei Yan, who pretends to be not an ordinary person, can see through it.
It was precisely because Shen Li discovered the psychological pressure of these teenagers that he urgently organized the night festival. He knew that the next batch of Night Tour envoys were going to experience training again, and he hoped that he could be in time to refresh the minds and bodies of the two groups of children during the Night Tour Festival.
