AWB Chapter 231 Searching for the Courtyard
Chapter 231 Searching for the Courtyard
The library stands quietly in the heart of the city, like a silent yet wise witness to history. As we slowly walked through its heavy doors, our hearts were filled with respect and emotion for this treasure trove of knowledge.
After a brief discussion, we all decided to go to Snow Star to experience its unique customs and culture firsthand. Although we have been to this land several times, our previous hurried trips have prevented us from truly understanding it in depth.
Snow, one of the Empire's largest planets, is surrounded by other planets in a radial pattern, like a moon surrounded by stars. Here, the four seasons are distinct, each exuding its own unique charm and characteristics.
It's mid-to-late September, and autumn has already quietly arrived. In the early morning, a gentle breeze brings a slight coolness, as if nature's gentle reminder to dress warmly. However, as the sun rises higher, the temperature quickly climbs, and until around 9 p.m., the scorching sun continues to scorch the earth mercilessly. The so-called "autumn heat" is well-deserved!
Like explorers, filled with anticipation and curiosity, we followed our guide's brisk pace and arrived at a quiet and mysterious street on Snow Planet. Unexpectedly, such a peaceful and tranquil corner was hidden in the bustling capital planet.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows, as if draping the street in a golden veil. We strolled leisurely along the street, where a variety of unique shops lined both sides. These shops, like exquisite little treasure boxes, awaited discovery.
Just then, a strange, unique aroma filled my nostrils like a wisp of smoke. I was drawn in by the alluring aroma, like a hound sniffing out its prey, following the scent. Soon, my gaze fixed on a bustling interstellar food restaurant.
The shop window is filled with a wide variety of ingredients and colorful dishes of various shapes. Those ingredients that have never been seen before exude a charming luster, as if showing their charm to everyone who passes by.
The tour guide introduced to us with a smile on his face: "These are all delicious dishes unique to Snow Star!" His enthusiastic words aroused our strong curiosity, so everyone couldn't wait to order a few dishes that looked particularly tempting.
Soon, the waiter brought our dishes to the table. One dish in particular stood out: it looked like a piece of crystal-clear jelly suspended in mid-air, shimmering with a dreamy light. As I carefully scooped a mouthful with my spoon, the sweet and sour flavor instantly blossomed on my tongue. The jelly melted into a stream of sweet juice with a gentle sip, leaving a lasting aftertaste.
As we were enjoying the delicious food, a melodious sound drifted in from nearby. We set down our utensils and followed the sound out of the shop. We saw a group of locals dressed in vibrant traditional costumes dancing in the street. Their faces were filled with joyful smiles, and their cheerful and enthusiastic steps were like dancing flames, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the entire street.
When the spectacular performance finally came to a close, the enthusiastic locals flocked over, smiling broadly and grabbing our hands, excitedly suggesting taking photos together. Their sincere and eager gazes seemed to penetrate our hearts, making it impossible to refuse such a generous gesture.
As the sky gradually darkened, the picturesque sunset, like a skilled painter, gently waved its magical brush, evenly coating the entire street with a golden, warm glow. This golden light, like a gorgeous cloak, gently covered the quaint buildings and winding cobblestone streets on both sides of the street.
At that moment, I suddenly realized that this seemingly peaceful street was actually brimming with vibrant energy and vibrancy. In the small, quaint flower shops, colorful blossoms vie for attention; in the old bookstores, yellowed pages exude the faint scent of ink; and in front of the fragrant snack stalls, people bustled and bustling... Every unassuming corner seemed to hold unexpected surprises, waiting to be discovered.
This initial exploration of Snow Planet has been like a wonderful adventure, allowing me to personally experience the unique charm of this planet. At this moment, I can't help but feel a strong sense of anticipation deep in my heart - I really hope to embark on another, more in-depth exploration as soon as possible to uncover more of the fascinating stories behind Snow Planet's mysteries.
After a full and tiring day of sightseeing, we looked at the listless and listless children and couldn't help but feel pity for them. So, we quickly took action, leading these little ones to complete a series of bedtime preparations such as a quick wash, and then gently put them to bed in their comfortable beds, allowing them to fall into a sweet dream as soon as possible.
After confirming all the children were soundly asleep, we adults breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to discuss our next itinerary for Snow Star. With so many of us traveling, staying in a hotel the entire time was inconvenient. Children are naturally active and always want to run around and play freely. While hotels often have gardens or other recreational areas, there are still limitations. It would be a disaster if we accidentally disturbed other guests.
After careful consideration and heated discussions, we finally decided to rent a small courtyard with a private entrance as a temporary residence for the next week. This way, the children can play and have fun in the spacious yard without causing any unnecessary trouble to others.
The next morning, it was still early, a hint of dawn just beginning to appear on the horizon. The soft morning light, like a veil, slowly spread across the earth. The entire world seemed shrouded in a veil of tranquility. All was silent, broken only by the occasional crisp chirp of birdsong.
The children were still immersed in sweet dreams, their eyes tightly closed, the corners of their mouths slightly raised, as if they were dreaming a beautiful dream. Those cute little faces, illuminated by the faint morning light, looked particularly innocent and peaceful.
However, we had already quietly risen from our beds, following the plan we had carefully discussed the previous night, and quickly packed our bags, ready to embark on this journey full of unknowns and expectations. Facing the rising sun, we took firm steps, our figures gradually disappearing at the end of the town.
Along the way, we weaved through the bustling streets and alleys of Snow Star. Along the streets, quaint buildings stood in a staggered arrangement, and roadside stalls filled with all sorts of novel and interesting gadgets captivated passersby. But at this moment, these beautiful sights and allures couldn't stop us, for we had only one common goal in mind: to find that dream courtyard.
We kept our eyes wide open, searching for every possible clue. Every time we passed a house, we paused for a moment, carefully observing its appearance, layout, and surroundings to see if it met our requirements. Sometimes, enthusiastic residents would approach us and ask about our purpose, offering helpful advice and guidance. Thus, we continued our search on this strange planet...
