Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 680

The moonlight in summer seems to be extraordinarily bright. The faint light is like a thin gauze, floating and scattered, reflecting on the river surface, like a layer of broken silver, shining brightly.Under such moonlight, the shadows of people are also very clear, and the trees on the mountain hold their long dresses, as if dancing on the hillside.

Among the undulating mountains in the distance, there is a long string of flames slowly extending from the foot of the mountain, composed of people, bending upward like a twisting snake.

This is a parade starting from Fox Village. It came to celebrate the Fox God Festival. It has been walking for nearly eight or nine hours since noon, and it finally arrived at the destination at this moment.

"Oh, is this the Fox God Festival?"

Kong Zhe and the other three were also members of this team. At this moment, he could not help but exclaim as he looked at the tide-like crowd around him.

The current location is a shrine about tens of kilometers away from Fox Village, and there are no villages around it, but at this time the vicinity of the shrine has been filled with various small stalls by the animal people who came in advance.In addition to all kinds of food stalls, there are also stalls selling masks, divination, hoops, throwing darts, etc., as well as the most spectacular, dragon-like floats, and lanterns lit all night along the sides of the road...

Young people in local costumes flocked on the streets, and animal-eared girls in gorgeous belts and red high-soled clogs walked in twos and threes.

There was laughter all around, and Kong Zhe roughly counted that there were at least over [-] people who came to this summer festival tonight.

With so many people rushing up this hill together, one can imagine how crowded the surrounding area is.Fortunately, there are special rules on the shrine side. With a large number of people maintaining order, pedestrians can pour in in batches, which prevents the scene from getting out of control.

"Wow!"

Lily poked her head out from behind Kong Zhe and kept looking around, her eyes full of novelty.

She had never had the chance to see such a lively scene on Earth.

"Well, it seems that the Fox God Festival is indeed the biggest festival in the area, and the number of people is no less than that of the blood race's year-end festival..."

Long also nodded, and sighed aside.

"It's lively, but isn't there a shrine in the village? There is also a dedicated festival street. Then why did you go all the way here?"

Kong Zhe pressed the brim of his hat and asked.

Although they had already exposed their identities in Fox Village, after all, they didn't see many people at that time, which was not the same as the number of people in the festival now, so after they set off, in order to reduce trouble, the three of them put on their hoods again.

"The shrine in the village has been abandoned..."

The little fox in front stopped, looked back at the three of them, pointed to the surroundings and said, "Also, look! People from the Fox Village are not the only ones who come to participate in the Fox God Festival. Those who have the conditions will come to participate, and the street in Fox Village can't let it go. So we can only move the meeting place outside."

"So it is."

Kong Zhe nodded.While speaking, the three of them had already walked into the crowd of vendors.

To say that the most vendors here are undoubtedly food stalls.

As soon as the three of them walked in, the noses were immediately filled with the aroma of various foods.

Looking around, you can see grilled golden crispy bamboo shoot skewers, rice noodle ramen sprinkled with various condiments, round fish balls covered with sauce, and fried noodles sizzling on the frying shovel. ... Every one of them makes people appetite.

From the moment she entered here, Lily's eyes were fixed on the food, and she couldn't help swallowing.

On the wizard hat above her head, the little spider was observing the outside world through a gap. At this time, like Lily, she was almost taken away by the food.

"What, do you want to eat?"

Seeing her appearance, Kong Zhe couldn't help asking with a chuckle.

"Uh-huh."

Lily wiped her saliva hastily, nodded repeatedly, and looked at him expectantly.

"Don't worry, I'll let you eat enough later."

"Oh!"

At this time, there was a sudden explosion from a position not far away, which attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

Kong Zhe also looked over there. It was a small stall on the side of the street. The stall owner was fiddling with a few pots on the ground, while shouting happily at the passers-by around him.

"Ah, yes, it's fireworks!"

The little fox called out immediately, but he seemed startled by the sound just now. He who had been walking in front unexpectedly jumped behind Kong Zhe, and even his body naturally turned into a fox.

"Oh? Fireworks? Are there fireworks in this world?"

Kong Zhe was startled, and subconsciously asked.

"Of course, even Loki has such things as firecrackers, but the name fireworks is still known from human mouths. The stall owner should be buying goods from the city that never sleeps. They are high-end goods. I I asked before that one would cost twenty coppers!"

The little fox seemed to be very afraid of the so-called 'fireworks', and Kong Zhe obviously felt that his body was still shaking when he introduced it.

Taking a closer look, the jar in the vendor's hand is definitely fireworks, but Kong Zhe quickly realized that the fireworks definitely cannot be called the word "advanced", on the contrary, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the most basic. After igniting, it just jumps into the sky, blows up, lights up the fire, and it's over after listening to the sound. There is no gorgeous light and shadow effect like modern fireworks.

But even so, this firework is definitely a rare commodity for Luo Ji's people. The small stall was soon filled with crowds, and people kept pointing and asking the price.

Seeing this scene, Kong Zhe was moved in his heart.He also has some stocks of fireworks in his ring. They are still the batch of supplies that he snatched from the Broken Bridge shopping mall. The quantity is not large, but they are definitely high-end goods, at least much better than those sold by the peddler.

According to what the little fox said just now, a tube of fireworks like his can be sold for twenty coppers.If you take these out, you can definitely double them.He was worrying that Loki didn't have the currency here, but right now he can use this thing to exchange some money for emergency.

Thinking of this, Kong Zhe walked over to the vendor and explained to him that he had plans to sell him better fireworks.

After the two negotiated, the vendor looked at him suspiciously, apparently not believing what he said.

Helpless, Kong Zhe had no choice but to take out a bundle of fireworks and light them on the spot to demonstrate.

Behind him, the little fox was still curious about what Kong Zhe was squatting on the ground, but he saw flames continuously spouting from the round box.

The little fox was startled, whimpered, and crawled away from Kong Zhe.

"Boom, boom..."

Amidst a loud bang, beautiful flowers exploded in the sky.

It is completely different from the small fireworks just now, some are like colorful umbrellas, and some are like flawless pearls, one after another, radiant and colorful, like a dream.

"Wow, this, this is..."

"so beautiful!"

"So beautiful!"

"Yes, I have seen such fireworks once in the city that never sleeps."

"This is the real fireworks!"

……

The surrounding crowd suddenly came out in amazement.

Even the little fox, who had just burst into tears from fright, looked up blankly at the beautiful scenery in the sky at this moment, with his mouth wide open and unable to speak.

"Wow, brother, look so good!"

Lily excitedly grabbed Kong Zhe's arm and jumped up and down.Not long after leaving Lingmeng City, it was the first time for her to see fireworks in real life, so she was naturally very curious.

"Hehe...here, this guest, can you come here and talk about it in detail!"

The owner of the Rat Clan's vendor suddenly became restless, hurried forward and pointed to the open space on the side of the road, rubbing his hands and showing a flattering smile to Kong Zhe.

"Good to say."

As a businessman, seeing the indifferent smile on Kong Zhe's face, the vendor knew very well that he would be slaughtered next time.

But he is also helpless, the rules of the city that never sleeps are strict, and the goods he owns are just corner goods resold, who will let others have better goods in their hands.

A small businessman like him can only count on today to make some money for a year, and he can't let others ruin the situation like this, so he has to buy this product now even if he doesn't want to.

Fortunately, Kong Zhe was in a hurry to spend money, so he didn't make things difficult for him in terms of price.After negotiating for a few minutes on the side of the road, the two quickly finalized the price.

A few minutes later, Kong Zhe returned with a large bag of copper, which was as many as [-] coins, which was definitely enough for them at least during the time they were in Rocky.

On the other side, after suppressing the pain in his heart, the peddler quickly returned to the stall with the newly purchased fireworks with a smile.This time, his booth was soon full of people again, and the new fireworks were snapped up by the crowd as soon as they were launched.

"Oh? Brother, why do you want to sell them all? I also want to set off fireworks for fun?"

As soon as Kong Zhe came back, Lily ran over and complained.

"Lily, don't say that..."

Long shook his head and smiled at the side, raised his fingers and said: "Fireworks, you can set them off by yourself, or let them off for others. Anyway, for today's annual gathering, everyone who buys them will definitely use them up immediately. Since you can see it later, it is naturally more cost-effective to sell it for some money."

"Oh, I see."

Lily tapped her palm, with a look of sudden realization.

"Don't worry, I didn't sell all of them, and I left some for you!"

Kong Zhe shook his head amusedly, and handed her a fairy wand.This thing is also called hand-held fireworks. It burns violently after being ignited, but the temperature is very low, it is beautiful and not dangerous, and it is perfect for children.

"Wow!"

Lily's eyes lit up instantly.Her playful nature made her quickly see how to use this thing.

A few minutes later, the scene of the festival sounded like a little fox killing a pig.

"Ah! You, you bastard, stop quickly, it's dangerous!"

The little fox's hair stood on end, and he ran desperately in the crowd, looking back while running, behind him, Lily, who was holding a handful of fireworks in each hand, was giggling and chasing him.Wherever the two of them passed, there were sparks and lightning along the way.

For the little fox, after all, he still maintains some of the habits of wild beasts. This kind of thing with fire and thunder is what he fears most in his bones.
