Animal Detective

Chapter 370 A Girl Like an Elf

I'd been watching the sun set for a long time, but it just wouldn't go down.

The setting sun was a deep crimson, even painting a rosy hue on the horizon.

The wind died down, and there was no bustling crowd, no traffic, no urban noise, only the occasional chirping of insects.

Some of the beauty seems unreal.

Shen Xin suddenly understood why so many people were willing to come to the grasslands; they were probably seeking a moment of tranquility.

This wonderful feeling reached its peak when the bonfire was lit to celebrate the return of Hongur and to welcome Shen Xin, who had come from afar.

Many people came to the village.

It wasn't just because Shen Xin was a guest, but also because Shen Xin had trained Tian Xiong and helped them find their livestock quite a few times.

The village secretary, Habutu, slaughtered a sheep in the afternoon, roasted it, and prepared it to entertain Shen Xin.

Shen Xin finally met Lakshin.

The wounds on his face were still clearly visible, especially on his left arm, which was wrapped in bandages.

Upon seeing Shen Xin, the steely man was overcome with shame, his eyes reddening with tears, and he repeatedly apologized, blaming himself for his actions.

When she left Nanjiang, she promised to take good care of Tianxiong.

After arriving in Hurgan, Tianxiong helped him so much.

When attacked, Tianxiong risked his life to save himself.

Now that Tianxiong is nowhere to be found, the more Lakshin thinks about it, the more tears he can't stop falling.

Shen Xin comforted him, "Chief, don't be like that. Since we haven't found it, there's still hope. Zhang Jiao and I have analyzed it. Tianxiong has been a wanderer and has a strong ability to survive. We must have hope."

Lakshin nodded repeatedly, but he kept wiping away tears.

As night deepened, the celebratory atmosphere reached its peak.

The young people in the village began to sing and dance.

Shen Xin can't dance at all, but Donya still dragged her into the group.

I was going to post this on my WeChat Moments.

After thinking about it, he gave up, so as not to provoke Yang Zeran and the others further.

Sweat beaded on Shen Xin's forehead from jumping, and he sat back down, overhearing Zhang Qifeng talking to Lakshin about the horses.

It was the mare that I had brought back myself.

Sure enough, there were no real wild horses on the grassland. They were horses that the herdsmen had lost for a long time. He had taken pictures of them and posted them in the group chat, and now they have been found to their owners.

They said they'd come to pick it up first thing tomorrow morning.

After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, the stars climbed into the night sky.

Amid the cheers of the young people, Donya was ushered to the campfire.

She was going to sing. She was going to sing a folk song from the grasslands, also called "Honggul".

Shen Xin was talking to Lakshin next to him when he was suddenly drawn to her singing and stared at her with wide eyes.

Shen Xin isn't a professional, but some of his voices are universally appealing, the kind that you can immediately tell if they're good or bad.

Donya is one of them.

Her voice was pure and ethereal.

As everyone gradually quieted down, amidst the crackling of the campfire, her long, melodious voice rose higher and higher, seemingly echoing throughout the entire grassland.

Shen Xin stared intently.

Under the glow of the campfire, Donya's face seemed to be shrouded in a halo, making her look like a goddess of the grasslands.

After finishing her song, Donya gracefully performed a few traditional dance curtain-closing moves.

She truly is a talented singer and dancer.

Applause erupted, and many young people from the village whistled and cheered.

Shen Xin clapped along.

She's so beautiful, and she can sing and dance; she's bound to charm all the young men in the surrounding villages.

Shen Xin also noticed Donya's father, an honest-looking middle-aged man who was staring intently at Donya, his face full of satisfaction and pride.

Donya sat down next to Shen Xin and asked how she sang.

Shen Xin gave a thumbs up: "Amazing! Seriously, I think you could debut right away."

Clearly, she had not received professional training.

To sing like this, completely natural, is more than just amazing.

"By the way, you could create a short video account and sing. I've seen a lot of people singing on it," Shen Xin suggested.

If this song becomes a hit, a company will definitely be willing to sign her and help her debut.

Donya quickly shook her head: "I'm sorry."

Shen Xin said, "What's the big deal? I met an uncle in Juzhou before. He repaired donkey hooves for people. I told him I could post short videos, and he actually did. Now he has tens of thousands of followers."

Last time in Machang Town, Shen Xin suggested that Xu Erleng post short videos.

Before leaving, Shen Xin mentioned it to Guo Jin.

Not long ago, Shen Xin came across Xu Erleng's video on a short video platform.

Donya shook her head again, saying she felt awkward.

However, despite saying that, she was clearly interested and took out her phone to ask what kind of videos they were.

The bonfire party, filled with singing and dancing, didn't end until 11 p.m.
