"I know this!"
Gazing at the firelight, Sha Lifei said proudly, "I heard the cart drivers mention before, the Luo Luo Clan has a saying 'The Han people respect officials, they respect fire.' Even when captured in battle, they fear not torture, but the inability to be cremated."
"This thing is called the Fire Festival!"
"The Fire Festival is already over."
Sitting weakly on the mule's back, Long Yan'er said, "This time of year should be the Luo Luo Village's 'Kushi,' which is like the Han people's New Year, but it usually waits until the first snow."
"Perhaps it's the autumn harvest, a fire ritual to drive away beasts and bless the harvest."
Li Yan furrowed his brow slightly, "Entering the village at this time, would it disturb them and be driven away?"
"Not at all."
Long Yan'er shook her head, "Entering the village at this time means you are a guest, they might even offer you a cup of wine."
