Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 440 The Lantern Festival
440 4 Chapter [-] Lantern Festival
Most of the time after I came back, I slept soundly and soundly with my brother by my side. My other brothers and sisters got along very well with the various plant elves here, and we even arranged the garden together for the lantern festival that was about to start. , when I came over from a break, the shelves for hanging lights in the garden had already been set up.

During the decoration, my brother and I also joined in. We hung lanterns together to decorate. The lanterns and red ribbons surrounded my handsome brother. Looking at his serious look, I suddenly thought of the "future brother-in-law" that Pico said. Just a violent thump thump.

Zhang Qiling also noticed that after returning this time, Yatou seemed to blush more often when she looked at him. He clearly knew that he and Yatou had become more than just brother and sister, but now was not the time.

We all spent a day hanging various colored lanterns on the wooden shelves, including traditional shaped lanterns, irregular geometric shapes, various flowers and small animals, and the wicks of these lanterns were all different. They are spiritual stones of various colors, which also emit a very hazy shimmer during the day.

There were many beautiful colorful oil-paper umbrellas hanging on the shelves above our heads, some were single-color ones, some were painted with patterns, and some were hung in strings like some lanterns.

The shelf is also decorated with many red ribbons and glazed wind chimes. When the breeze blows, the ribbons on the shelf, the lamps and the long tassels on the umbrella handles sway in the wind, and the glazed wind chimes make a clear and sweet sound. , and the petals that would fall from time to time here are already very beautiful during the day.

The Lantern Festival is the next day, and there are many different kinds of people coming and going here. They greet me and give me small gifts, almost all of which I like. They all seem to recognize me, but I don’t know them. Not a single one was recognized.

Little Sister Fox came back with us, and we also told Brother Bai Hao that she was coming. Brother Bai Hao even asked us, "Where are the people?"

I pointed to a small room in the garden and said to him, "It's over there, but she has been hiding in the room and refused to come out."

Brother Bai Hao glanced in the direction of the room and said, "Let her go." There seemed to be some helplessness in his tone.

I said, "She came out of there because she wanted to see you, but why didn't she see you?"

Brother Bai Hao didn't answer. I originally wanted to say something, but before I even opened my mouth, seeing him take a deep breath, I felt that Brother Bai Hao didn't really want to mention this matter, so I decided not to ask further.

Bai Hao knew that his sister was respecting his choice. He reached out and touched her little head and said, "Don't think about this. As the old saying goes, let nature take its course. Just let it take its course."

In fact, when we were talking, the little fox was standing in front of the window and secretly looking at Bai Hao. She really wanted to see him, but she still didn't take this step.

On the day of the lantern festival, all kinds of delicious stalls have been open since daytime, including stir-fry, fried, staple food, desserts, soups and soups, rich in content and complete varieties. It is definitely not a temporary stall, it is completely a snack street. look.

When my brother and I were about to eat some snacks, Li Yue walked towards me with a smile and said, "Xiao Xun, look who's here."

I turned my head and saw a furry little white claw sticking out from behind her, clawing at her leg. She leaned forward, and a little head with long white curly hair like a stuffed toy came out.

He has a pair of big, round, watery black eyes, a small face, and a big dark nose. He looks to be about three years old, and he is a half-human, half-animal boy.

He looked at me excitedly and expectantly, and seemed a little shy. I have to say he looked so cute.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a long, furry tail sprouting from behind him, swaying wildly, as if he could no longer contain his inner excitement.

Seeing his appearance, I immediately thought of who this little guy was and said, "White Bear?" The little guy immediately raised his head and answered me with a "woof" sound.

I was very happy and said, "Have you returned to your human form?" I stretched out my arms towards him and said, "Come, come here."

He raised his furry paws and pulled Liyue and ran towards me on all fours, shouting excitedly "Wow, wow, wow", and immediately jumped into my arms.

Despite his small stature, he was very powerful. Although I had grown a bit, I was still knocked backwards by him. Fortunately, my brother supported me from behind.

His two paws hugged my body tightly, his little head rubbed against my belly, and his tail swung even more excitedly, already turning like a small propeller, and continued to shout loudly: "Wow, wow, wow."

I saw that he was extremely excited, so I rubbed his little head, held up his face and said, "Come here, baby, let me see."

He raised his head, opened his mouth and stuck out his little tongue, looked at me with crooked eyes, and called out very clearly: "Mom!"

I have to say that he is half human and half animal now, and his speech and pronunciation are much more standard. I said to him, "Didn't I tell you that he belongs to my sister?"

He was very stubborn and said firmly: "Mom, mom!"

I said to myself, mom, just mom. It proves that the little guy loves me, which is actually quite good. I saw that the hair on his head was a bit disheveled and had become sticky, but the hair rope used to braid it was still clearly visible. Tangled in hair.

Li Yue came over and said, "This child won't let us comb his hair. He has to wait for you."

I pinched his hair ball and said to him: "I will comb your braid again later. Let's get a new hair rope. There are jewelry stalls over there. You can choose the one you like." The little guy said happily. "Sounded.

When the little guy was acting coquettishly with me, he also noticed the brother beside me. He tilted his head and pushed me slightly away with his little paws to look at his brother. He was somewhat defensive, as if he was asking me, "Who is he?" "

Then I saw him stretching his neck and bending his nose to smell his breath. His brother had an expressionless face and didn't seem to care much.

I looked at them and thought it would be better for me to introduce them, so I said: "Brother, he is one of my six little fur children, Little Six White Bear Brother, White Bear, he is my sister's..."

I opened my mouth and suddenly didn't know what to say next. It seemed unstandard to say that I was my brother, but...

Just when I was struggling, Pi Ke interjected: "White Bear, Brother Pi Ke tells you, when you see this brother in the future, you will call him "Dad", do you know?" I was stunned after hearing this. He seriously began to think about how to pronounce the word "Dad". He was stunned for a moment and said to his brother: "Ahh." It did sound very close to the pronunciation of "Dad".

Pixiao giggled and said in his ear: "Baby, listen to my brother's pronunciation. When you say "Dad", tell me one."

White Bear tried again and said: "Bo... Bo Bo... Bo..."

Pico corrected him again and said: "Dad, wave, dad."

White Bear learned quickly, and this time he clearly said to his brother: "Dad."

This belonged to both my mother and my father. I had already blushed after hearing this. I picked up the little guy with a blushing face and said, "Brother, let's go, let's choose a hair rope for him." I hugged the white bear and ran away.

Pi Ke burst out laughing immediately, patted Zhang Qiling and said, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Chase after him."

My brother caught up with me, and with a red face, I combed the little guy's pigtails again and put on a new hair tie. The little guy was very happy. I told him to go play and see if there was anything he wanted to eat, but his My eyes moved to my brother next to me again. He grabbed his hand with his claws, stared at it, and then used his small claws to hook his hand and put it on me.

My brother held my hand, and he seemed to think it was not enough. He continued to hook his arm with his paws and put it on me. He didn't show a satisfied expression until he hugged me.

He turned around and came back. His furry little white paws pulled my hand to his chest, and hooked his little arm around mine to let me hug him. In this way, the three of us stayed together until the official start of the lantern festival in the evening. This "family of three" situation.

When the night falls, the Lingshi lanterns are all dazzling. Both the lamps and umbrellas are more exquisite. The animal lanterns are cute and vivid, and the four-spirit realistic style lanterns are as lifelike as if they are coming to life.

The lantern festival also has a special place for placing Kongming lanterns and river lanterns. Liyue took us there. There were many people in the place where we made wishes, and it turned out that they were in pairs. We went to make a wish. My wish is very simple, that is, my brother can be safe and sound. Just fine.

My brother also wrote a lamp, but he wrote something that looked like words and symbols, and I couldn’t figure out what it was.

Think about it, in the past, he would not have participated in such an event, but now he would come to make wishes. This is unprecedented. He knows better than me what this thing does. Anyway, it is all about making wishes. , just let him write whatever he wants.

The white bear who had been following us watched us working on the lantern, and he stretched out his paw to participate, but he still couldn't hold a pen with his paw, and he didn't have the consciousness to write, so he directly put his paw into the ink cartridge.

My brother was holding the lamp, and I held him and asked him to print a lot of his little paw prints on the blank side of the lamp. His little white paws turned into little black paws, and the little white dog turned into black and white. Little flower.

He put his paw on my face and called me: "Mom." He stretched out his paw and put his arm on my brother's face and called him: "Dad." Then he raised his two paws and pressed them against the lamp. I looked at them. Brother, he also looked at me, and we all agreed that the little guy wanted us to put our handprints on it, so we naturally satisfied him.

When putting up the lanterns, everyone collectively raised their hands, countless Kongming lanterns flew up, and the lanterns placed in the village below gradually floated up. Soon they were all over the sky, and our own lantern quickly blended in. A large group of people, drifting away bit by bit in the wind, intertwined with countless lights, the picture is beautiful, it can be said to be spectacular, and the mood is also very complicated.

After putting up the lamp, I cleaned the ink on our hands, leaving only the small paw prints on my face. I took him to eat something, and then we went to the transparent spiritual conveyor belt to watch the fireworks.

Seeing the splendid fireworks like meteor showers and the snow-like rain of petals intertwined together, as well as the surrounding jade belt-like conveyor belts of different colors, it is so beautiful that I don’t know how to describe it. This scene will be deeply profound for me. In my memory, I think my brother would do it too.

The little fox still cared about Bai Hao and followed him quietly, but did not dare to come forward and disturb him.

Bai Hao had already understood everything and deliberately walked to a sparsely populated and empty location. The little fox was getting more and more difficult to hide and kept looking around.

Bai Hao suddenly stopped, and the little fox also stopped quickly, but there was no place for her to hide around.

Bai Hao said, "Don't hide when you're already here. Come over and watch the fireworks together."

After saying that, Bai Hao turned around to look at her and stretched out a hand to her. The little fox couldn't bear it anymore, and the crying pear flower walked towards him with rain in it.

The little fox looked at Bai Hao's big hand and really wanted to hold it, but she didn't know if Bai Hao had really forgiven her. She grabbed her clothes hard, feeling so uneasy that she was at a loss.

Bai Hao raised his hand slightly again, looked at her with a gentle look on his face and said, "Come on, give me your hand."

At this moment, the little fox seemed to see the scene when she saw Bai Hao for the first time. Bai Hao used to call her over like this. She slowly stretched out her hand, and just before touching Bai Hao's hand, she stopped again. This is what she has been waiting for. She hopes that one day Bai Hao can hold her hand like this, but she is afraid in her heart. She is afraid that if she loses it this time, she will gain it again in the future.

Bai Hao sighed: "You little fox, just don't be fooled again. Let's go and watch the fireworks. Then we should have time to eat something delicious. Let me tell you, I even opened a stall today. I’ll take you there in a moment.”

The little fox nodded while crying and laughing, and immediately put his little hand into Bai Hao's big hand.

Looking at the three little people in the conveyor belt, the old man said: "If they could just stay like this and have a few more kids, it would be so lively. You see, I just met her once and I didn't even dare to Just show up.”

The old lady said: "We all say let nature take its course. In fact, as long as they are safe, they can go anywhere, right?"

Xue Feng, who was sitting aside, was thoughtfully fiddling with the handful of spiritual stones that had been refined in the cave.

The old man sighed and said, "It's so hard to recognize a relative." He said helplessly and took a sip of tea.
