Chapter 285: Stepping into the mountains in the midsummer
After returning to the Emerald Skirt, Heshia only stayed at Edes Academy for two days before coming to the Iridium Academy in the North District.
Compared to Edes Academy, where many eyes were focused, this place was more leisurely and quiet, allowing her to avoid the fanatical eyes of the outside world and spend a more relaxed and fulfilling summer vacation.
During the holidays, because most students went home, the school became much quieter.
"So, where are you going to go today?" The girl was in the dormitory, looking at the two big guys in front of the floor, one was a velvety cave wolf spider that had grown a circle, and the other was a daylight snake with indigo scales.
Since the indigo snake grew up, it has gradually been able to compete with the big spider, and it is not inferior in the competition for favor.
Seeing the two guys eager to try their hand at her head, the girl took a step back.
"Don't come on, you two are not young anymore, you can't lie on me like before." The girl shook her finger to indicate that it was not allowed.
The two guys were very sad and upset about Heshia's answer. Why didn't this little master spoil them after he went on a long trip?
The indigo snake raised its head, half of its body coiled on the ground, and then gently swung its tail, pointing to the distance outside the balcony, and the gem on its forehead flashed.
"Do you want to go see the three ducklings? They should have grown up now. It's time to go and see them." The girl understood the indigo snake's thoughts.
The big spider next to her blinked, then circled around the girl. Just as it jumped up, a hand pressed on its head and caught it.
"You are not as fast as me now." Compared to half a year ago, Heshia is now only one step away from Sequence 5, and can already catch up with the speed of the big spider.
After stopping the big spider's bad idea, the girl held it in her arms to prevent this guy from continuing to mess around, and then went to the balcony with the indigo snake.
From the Ring Bird Wind Tower, you can overlook the continuous peaks and woods in the back mountain, and some small lakes are hidden among them.
Standing on the balcony of the tower, the girl jumped down holding the big spider. The wind and air flow passed by her ears rapidly. This kind of coolness in summer made people feel refreshed. Then she chanted a spell softly, and a faint white light overflowed from her body. Then her rapidly falling body became light, and then floated like a leaf to the distant woods, until her toes lightly stepped on the treetops, jumped up again, and then landed in the forest covered with green grass.
After falling, the girl looked back at the top of her head. The indigo snake was also swimming and gliding down in the air. Compared with the big spider, it was very studious. It was originally an extraordinary creature cultivated by the Iridium Academy. During the days when the girl was away, it also taught itself some simple skills, and this kind of aerial gliding was one of them.
"Let's go." Putting the big spider on the grass, the girl pushed aside the bushes blocking the road and walked towards the back mountain. She remembered that the ducks she released lived by a small lake in the back mountain.
Following the direction of her memory, the girl passed through the path in the forest, walked on the gravel-paved mountain path, went down along the vague stairs, turned several corners, and then came to a lake at the bottom of the mountain. The water here was light green, and there were many trees growing by the lake, and some branches and leaves were sticking into the water.
"It should be here." The girl looked around, then closed her eyes, tapped her eyebrows with her fingertips, and then invisible ripples spread, and the lives and tiny souls of hundreds of meters around her were reflected in her mind.
"In that bush?" She looked at a brown and yellow thorny bush across the lake, and then walked around the lake.
When she walked to the side of the thorny bush, the girl took out the bell she had used to train the three ducklings and shook it gently.
"Ding Ding Dang Dang~" The crisp sound rang out, and soon there was a response from the bush, and there were many of them.
"Quack quack quack~" Three big ducks with orange beaks and white feathers came out of the bush, staggering and rushing over, flapping their wings while walking, and seemed particularly happy.
"Quack, quack, quack~" Three big white ducks came to the girl, raised their heads, and flapped their wings continuously. The breeze they created blew up small stones, which occasionally hit the girl's legs.
"You are quite strong, it seems you can even guard the house." The girl bent down and tried to pick up one.
"Hmm, it's a bit heavy. It seems you've been eating well recently." Just as the girl was stroking the three big white ducks and reminiscing about the past, a quacking sound of little ducks came.
About a dozen little ducks with yellow fluff also came out of the bushes. They seemed a little shy. They didn't dare to approach the indigo snakes and big spiders in front of them, but they missed their parents.
"Come here." The girl gently rang the bell to let the indigo snakes and big spiders move away, and then the whole family reunited.
"Are these your children? There are so many of them." Heshia's fingertips passed through the fluffy feathers of the ducklings, held them up, and put them in her palm for a closer look.
With an orange beak and tender feet, the little ducks flapped their wings in the girl's hands and struggled to stand up.
After stroking them carefully, the girl put the ducklings back on the ground, then took out a few beans from her pocket and sprinkled them on the ground for them to peck.
"Don't rush, there are still a lot." Seeing the ducklings on the ground scrambling for food, the girl comforted them and took out some to feed them.
Although her pockets were limited, there was a lot of storage space. There were no outsiders or surveillance here, so she could take out the things freely and conveniently.
After feeding the big and small ducks, Heshia stood up again and rang the bell gently to tell them that there were no more.
"Quack quack quack~" After circling around the girl for a few more times, the three big ducks returned to the lake, and then entered the lake one by one, swimming in the lake with a group of ducklings behind them, occasionally pecking at small fish in the water. The
light orange soles of their feet moved in the water, and slender swaying water plants could be seen in the clear lake water. Occasionally, a few big black fish swam by and then disappeared into the depths of the lake.
It was really comfortable. Sitting by the tree, Heshia listened to the rustling of leaves in the forest and felt a rare tranquility. She was away from the noisy and arguing network and the cumbersome and rule-based society. In these uninhabited mountains and lakes, everything slowed down. She could even count the movement of dust in the sun. She
took a nap under the tree. Occasionally, a few leaves fell, covering the girl's skirt and hair, accompanying her into her dreams.
In the next month, in addition to taking a walk in the mountains to relax, Heshia learned the skills and knowledge related to the singer from the ghost teacher.
Every time she practiced an instrument, it was also in this deserted mountain. In such a place, she could express her emotions to her heart's content, without worrying about affecting others, and secondly, she didn't have to worry about being heard because of her unfamiliar and immature performance, so she could concentrate on learning wholeheartedly.
By August, the discussion about her on the Internet gradually cooled down, and Heshia also slowly got used to her identity as a singer in this month.
Although she is still a minor, she has already received cooperation letters from major companies and invitations to some large-scale events of the Jade Skirt. Even the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region Government has sent her several emails to ask if she is free to attend official activities and events organized by the Star Region Government as a guest.
As a singer, although she does not have an actual position in the Star Region Government, she can already initiate proposals and express her ideas like a member of parliament. As long as such proposals do not involve sensitive areas, no one will specifically oppose them in most cases.
However, as a matter of convention, singers generally do not exercise this power and get involved in the political field. Only in a few and special cases will they participate in such debates and promotions.
"In the early stage, you'd better concentrate on your own learning and improvement, and don't do anything too complicated." The ghost princess on the frozen lake advised Heshia.
"You have just started with the ability related to music and singers. You can't always use your talent to suppress others. It will be difficult for you to grow and improve."
So throughout the holiday, Heshia was immersed in learning and making up for her shortcomings, until half of August, when the hot summer wind gradually dissipated and the refreshing autumn slowly arrived.
