The plainly dressed villagers chatted idly, the remnants of fireworks in the sky seemed as if they'd never disperse, a large firework exploded, small red lanterns plummeting downward, resembling stars.
Such a beautiful sight.
The scent of incense, fireworks, and various delicacies mingled together, oddly grounding and comforting. Smiles appeared on people's faces. The man with the severed arm seemed to notice Li Guanyi's gaze and said, shyly:
"Was I speaking too loudly?"
Li Guanyi shook his head and smiled, "Not at all, this is a temple fair after all."
The man relaxed a lot, smiling and replied, "Indeed."
He held his child with his remaining arm, looked up at the sky, his eyes reflecting the light of stars, the moon, and the falling traces of fireworks, then looked at Li Guanyi and said, "It's really nice."
"Peaceful days are coming soon."
