Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of the game, Sean noticed that the windows of the shady room on the second floor of the deputy mayor's house behind Alex's house were all covered with black cloth.

"It's strange why someone would cover all the windows with black cloth." Sean felt a little confused.

Suddenly, the black cloth covering the window moved, as if someone was watching them from behind the window.

An illusion? Sean looked up for a moment, but there was no movement behind the window.

"Hey! Sean, it's your turn to play. You don't want to cheat, do you?" Alex urged.

"Oh?" After coming to his senses, Sean told Sam and the others about his discovery.

"I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense."

Hearing this, Sean leaned forward and Sam leaned in close to whisper, "The deputy mayor's daughter, Jin Jier, lives in there. I heard that she has a strange disease and cannot stand the light of day."

"Yeah, I haven't seen the deputy mayor since she moved here, and I don't know what she looks like." Alex on the side spoke loudly and took over the topic.

Sam was so shocked that he repeatedly signaled him to speak in a low voice and not talk about other people's private affairs in public.

"It's my fault. Let's play cards." Alex realized that his voice was too loud, and in order to cover up his mistake, he quickly pulled them to continue playing UNO.

"It must be very lonely." Sean thought about the figure behind the black cloth and made a mental note of it.

-----------------

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, night has fallen, and stars dot the sky of Pelican Town.

The townspeople gathered around the giant tree in the center of the square. Now, the last part of the Winter Veil Festival - the gift exchange - was about to begin. Everyone was looking forward to something, and their eyes kept glancing at Sean.

Apart from Sean who came over after playing cards, he was the only one who didn't know what was going to happen next.

Mayor Lewis stood by the pond in the square, his face looking particularly kind under the light.

He cleared his throat and said, "Dear residents, tonight we will usher in the warmest moment of the Winter Veil Festival. On this special night, we would like to thank those who have contributed to Pelican Town, especially those who are brave and fearless in the rescue operation."

After saying this, all the townspeople turned their eyes to Sean, their eyes full of enthusiasm.

"What's going on?" Sean was confused for a moment.

The sudden situation made him a little overwhelmed. The enthusiastic gazes of the villagers made Sean feel as if he was exposed under a spotlight and became the focus of the whole audience.

"Sean, it's your turn." Just when Sean was confused, Robin beside him patted him on the shoulder gently and motioned him to go to the front of the stage.

Sean walked forward puzzledly, and Mayor Lewis made way for him.

"Sean, you are the pride of our Pelican Town." Lewis' voice echoed in the night sky. "We deeply admire your performance in the rescue operation. Your wisdom saved the trapped deputy mayor, and your character set an example for the children. Tonight, we will present you with an award in the presence of the Pelican, a sacred bird, to thank you for your contribution to Pelican Town."

After that, Lewis handed Sean an exquisite gift box.

Sean took the gift box, inside which was a handmade greeting card and an exquisite badge engraved with the words "Hero of Pelican Town".

"This is really what I should do." Sean said modestly.

"No, Sean." Lewis said with a smile, "You deserve it, and Old Oak will be happy for you."

"Now, this is your welcome ceremony. A wanderer will eventually return home, Sean! Welcome back to Pelican Town! This medal is the symbol of your return to Pelican Town."

As soon as he finished speaking, residents in the square came forward one after another, holding all kinds of gifts in their hands. They rushed to give them to Sean, and everyone's face was filled with sincere smiles.

"Sean, this is the jam I made myself, I hope you like it." An old lady handed over an exquisite glass bottle.

"Brother Sean, this is a painting I drew for you." A little girl shyly handed Sean a colorful painting.

"Sean, this is my family's specialty, you must try it." An uncle enthusiastically handed over a bag of fragrant food.

Sean was surrounded by everyone's enthusiasm, and his heart was filled with gratitude and warmth. He took every gift, thanked them earnestly and smiled back.

On this special night, Sean felt the warmth and sense of belonging at home.

He was no longer the lonely traveler who had traveled through time and space, but a member of the Pelican Town family. He took a deep breath and buried the feeling in his heart.

When the last gift was given, gorgeous fireworks suddenly bloomed in the night sky, making the entire square look picturesque.

"Wow! How beautiful!" People exclaimed and looked up at the night sky.

Sean also looked up and looked at the blooming fireworks, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

-----------------

All the joy will eventually come to an end. When the crowd disperses and the welcome party ends, Sean walks home with a cart full of gifts.

When passing by the deputy mayor's house, suddenly a ball of paper rolled down the tiles from a high place and landed at Sean's feet.

"Who is it?" Sean picked up the paper ball with confusion.

Slowly unfolding it, a handmade necklace fell out, and Sean quickly grabbed it.

The pendant of the necklace is in the shape of an exquisite four-leaf clover, and the chain is made of a mixture of four colored ribbons. It is a handicraft that has condensed much effort.

"Who accidentally dropped this?" Sean looked at the unfolded paper ball with confusion.

The handwriting was neat and clear, but the text on the paper only had two words: Thank you! Signed: Jin Jier.

"It's her. It seems she already knows that Deputy Mayor Geller is in danger. Is this necklace a thank-you gift to me?" Sean guessed.

Feeling the body temperature of its original owner that seemed to still remain on the necklace, he flattened the paper, folded it solemnly, and put it into his shirt pocket along with the four-leaf clover necklace.

Sean knew that people who were isolated from the outside world for a long time were generally more fragile and sensitive mentally, and should not have too much fluctuation.

Therefore, he raised his hands high, without shouting, and waved them towards the room covered with black cloth, knowing that the girl behind the black cloth must be watching.

After a while, ripples were heard on the black cloth behind the window.

With telepathic thoughts, Sean quickened his pace and waved his hands twice until the black cloth stopped moving, then he pushed the cart away.

A lonely girl whose face is unknown and who longs for the outside world behind the black cloth every day remains in his heart.
