Chapter 2166 The Miraculous Daily Life of Harvest Farm 36
This story that happened in the sacred tree was written by Cronie in his latest collection of poems.
Witnessed by the elves, Jinchen and Lin Mian completed their bond in the elf world.
After that, they began their journey together in another world.
In the forest shrouded in morning mist, Jinchen and Linmian walked side by side.
The moss under my feet was full of dew, and every step made a slight rustling sound.
Ling Gungun followed slowly behind, having a lot of fun, occasionally stopping to sniff the bushes full of berries.
Lin Mian's cloth bag was filled with parchment scrolls, each of which recorded stories told by the elves, as well as colorful seeds.
Some are as fine as rice grains, some are covered with fluff, and some shine like wheat grains in the sun.
Those were special seeds they collected in the forest and prepared to take back and plant on the farm.
Today's itinerary is to go to the Goblin's Currency Store to exchange gold and silver coins.
The goblin shop is hidden in the gap between two giant trees. The door curtain is made of dried snake skins, and it rustles when the wind blows.
The old goblin behind the counter narrowed his cloudy yellow eyes and fiddled with the weights on the scale with his sharp nails.
"Three purple vine seeds for twenty silver coins."
He threw the seeds into the clay pot, and suddenly a lizard's head popped out of the pot, and its scarlet tongue quickly swept away a seed.
Lin Mian took a half step back in shock, but Jin Chen quickly pressed the lizard back into the jar. The green fluorescence flashing on his fingertips made the lizard curl up into a stiff stone sculpture in an instant.
"Plus five silver coins as compensation."
The old goblin knocked on the counter without changing his expression.
Just as Lin Mian was about to argue, Jin Chen pushed two bags of glow-in-the-dark mushrooms over to him and said, "Use this to counter it."
The mushrooms glowed blue in the dim shop. The goblin's pupils suddenly shrank into vertical lines and a greedy gurgling sound came from his throat.
In the end they exchanged for two heavy bags of coins, and Jinchen grabbed a few gold coins to feed Ling Gungun.
"Eat less of the mess on the floor." He rubbed Ling Gungun's ears and scolded him.
"Ow~"
Zero tumbled and chewed the gold coins with satisfaction.

The farewell to the bard took place by a stream under a tree in the forest.
He was always going to different places.
The strings of Croney's guitar were stained with night dew, and a casual pluck produced clear tremolo sounds, playing a farewell song for his two friends.
He pulled out a yellowed parchment from his bag, with dried wine stains on the edges.
"I'll write to you at every post station. We keep in touch through letters. Remember to open the mailbox in the cabin more often."
He blinked. "But don't count on receiving it on time. I always fall asleep in the middle of writing in the pub."
Lin Mian stuffed some lavender honey cakes and jams made in the forest into his violin case.
Jinchen thought about it and stuffed a few silver coins into Cronie’s hands.
“At least write the ending. Last time the story stopped at the climax and had no follow-up. If it’s like this again, I won’t read it.” Lin Mian said.
Although the bard's story is really wonderful.
"Woohoo! Good!" Cronie hit a funny high note.
Ling Gungun was suddenly frightened and slapped the water with his claws, which he had been washing silently. The splashing water scared away the sparrows in the bushes.
Zero was so angry that he rushed towards Cronie.
It was not until the morning sun dyed the treetops red that the bard carried his mottled violin case, which was engraved with scribbled place names and arrows. The latest ink marks pointed crookedly to a boundary far away from the farm and the forest.
"Goodbye! Remember to say hello to Terra for me!" He waved and walked into the morning mist.
-
Half a year later, Lin Mian and Jin Chen decided to go home.
I came with nothing, but when I returned, my bag was filled with many bags of seeds and gifts.
At the junction, white light flashed.
The farm came into view.
Lin Yao was standing on the roof of the barn, waving a pitchfork, and golden wheat grains cascaded down like a waterfall.
Lin Guangming, with the hem of his white robe tucked into his belt, was feeding a newly-fed lamb with a bottle of milk, while the rabbit elf stood nearby and secretly drank from it.
Terra and Shiyan are working together to build a new fence. There are more and more animals on the farm, and there are also a few more fruit and vegetable gardens.
In the distance, you can faintly hear the cheers of tourists in the garden restaurant.
Lin Mian was a little surprised, thinking to himself that it was no wonder that the former Harvest Farm was known to the whole village.
It turns out that in the hands of unreliable parents, it can be so grand and lively.
Seeing them, Lin Yao jumped down from the roof with the help of a clothesline. When he landed, he inserted the pitchfork accurately into the wheat pile, startling a group of sparrows and making them fly up.
“Finally you’re back!” She ruffled Lin Mian’s hair, her fingertips still stained with wheat husks, “Didn’t those elders trick you into losing everything?”
“No, I’ve had a very happy time in the past six months,” Lin Mian said.
Jinchen silently opened the purse, and Linggungun shook his long snow-white hair at the right time. The gold coins rolled all over the ground with a jingle, and were then stuffed into his mouth to chew.
"Welcome back!!" The rabbit jumped three feet high.
After returning to the farm, the newly built greenhouse became Lin Mian’s exclusive place.
He sorted the seeds from other worlds into pottery jars and drew pictures on the labels: dandelions with healing effects, glowing nightshade plants, tuberous vegetables with star-spotted skins...
Jinchen often stayed with him holding a stack of account books. Sometimes she fell asleep on the rattan chair while looking at the account books, and her eyelashes cast tiny shadows on her cheeks.
One night, when Lin Mian secretly kissed Jin Chen on the corner of his mouth while he was sleeping on a rattan chair, the seeds of the chrysanthemum suddenly burst in the clay pot, and the spores floated all over the greenhouse like fireflies.
The two men were in a hurry to close the window and almost knocked over the newly grown seedlings.
"They are too sensitive and always burst when I'm not paying attention." Lin Mian squatted among the broken pottery pieces to rescue the tender sprouts.
Jinchen suddenly chuckled: "Kunkun always sneaks kisses when I'm not paying attention."
Lin Mian turned his head to look at him, and confidently leaned over to kiss him on the side of his face, "I didn't kiss him secretly."
-
Now that Lin Mian is back, Lin Yao and Lin Guangming will finally embark on their journey.
The first snow fell on the farm the day the couple left.
Lin Guangming gave the silver chain of the Light Wizard to Lin Mian.
"I won't forget this time. Daddy promises you that I will come back to see you often."
Lin Yao took the heavy sword in his hand, changed back into the warrior's armor, and wrapped the hilt with the wheat ear knot woven by Lin Mian.
"If anyone dares to bully my son, remember to tell mom and I'll draw my sword and kill him!"
Lin Mian: “…”
"In this modern society, Mom, I have Jinchen, and I will call the police too."
"Well...and, come back often." Lin Mian pursed his lips and said.
"Okay!" Lin Yao patted his son's thin shoulder.
The warriors and the light elves returned to the forest again, and their story continued.
Time goes by year after year.
In the midsummer of the following year, the farm held its first new wine tasting celebration and once again invited the elf friends they met in the forest.
Lin Mian decorated the invitation with scales sent by Cronie, which were said to be from the dragon race.
With the previous experience, this celebration was even more grand, and they also invited the human friends they met in the village.
After the celebration, comes the long-planned wedding.
Lin Yao and his wife dragged five elders to the farm to celebrate. Kroni hurried back riding a unicorn with a violin case on his back, bringing back the best wedding host he had found after traveling through three elf tribes. As soon as they met, he chatted with Terra and reminisced about the past.
On the wedding night, thousands of fireflies rose into the sky from the grass, and when the wind blew, they fell to the ground like a river of stars.
The contract stone glowed softly on the two people's clasped hands.

Ling Gun Gun laughed, "You take a rest first, I'll go get the delicious food that I've stored in this little world and give it to the boss to try!"
