Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 682 Wishing and Lantern

Some of what he said is actually not common sense. For example, most of the Loki people don't know about the recording of wishes by the fox god envoy.It's just because there is a sister who is a fox god envoy in his family, so the little fox is quite clear about these things.

"Is that so..."

Kong Zhe nodded, and also stepped forward to pick up a sign.

To make a wish to the so-called 'Fox God', that's what he's doing here today, although he doesn't have much hope.

"Ah!"

Behind Kong Zhe, Long suddenly sneezed.

"What? Sick?"

Kong Zhe was a little puzzled, it should be said that the physique of the awakened person has basically moved away from the concept of illness.What's more, Long has always been very energetic, but at this time he lowered his eyes, looking drowsy.

"That's not...Ah Choo!"

Long couldn't help but sneezed again, he couldn't help touching his itchy nose, and said helplessly, "Your Highness, don't you think the smell here is a bit pungent?"

"Smell? What smell?"

"Fox's...smell..."

"fox?"

Kong Zhe was stunned.

As far as foxes are concerned, there are indeed many foxes here, but haven't they stayed in Fox Village for one night before?At that time, the dragon didn't show any discomfort, did it?

And his current appearance is a bit like some kind of allergic symptoms.

"how to say……"

Long yawned, shook his head and said, "It seems to have appeared suddenly after that carriage arrived... I always feel that there is something familiar and disgusting in that group of people..."

"Familiar...and repulsive..."

The corners of Kong Zhe's eyes twitched, what kind of smell is this?Aren't those witches who came down from that carriage?He sniffed, but what he smelled was mostly the aroma of various snacks, the rouge smell of some girls, and the slight sulfur smell of burning firecrackers. As for the smell of foxes, he didn't feel anything.

"Ah!"

Just thinking about it, Long sneezed again.This time he rubbed his uncomfortable nose and finally retreated.

"Sorry, Your Highness, it seems that I can't get used to this smell, so I went out first. You continue to play, I will wait for you at the foot of the mountain."

"Oh, alright."

Long greeted Kong Zhe and hurried down the mountain.

"Then... there are only three of us left..."

Kong Zhe looked back at Lily and the little fox behind him, and each of them had already held a wooden sign in their hands.

"Anyway, let's make a wish..."

Next to the wishing stand, there was a booth specially providing brushes and ink. The three of them each stepped forward to get a pen and began to draw on the wooden sign.

Holding the pen, the little girl scratched her ears and cheeks for a while, but she still couldn't figure out what wish to make, and she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Turning her head, she happened to see that Kong Zhe had returned the brush to the booth next to her. The little girl rolled her eyes and stepped forward to grab Kong Zhe's arm to act coquettishly.

"Brother, what wish did you make, show me!"

"Oh, do you want to see it?"

Kong Zhe couldn't stand her fuss, so he had to hand her the wooden sign.

Lily took it excitedly, opened it, and saw a few simple words written on the wooden sign.

"Hope your loved ones are safe."

Lily froze for a moment, the 'loved one' here obviously refers to Xiaolei.

Sure enough, is brother still worried about Miss Xiaolei?

"How about it?"

Seeing that Lily didn't speak, Kong Zhe took the initiative to ask a question, expecting her to give some comments.

He originally wished something like Xu' wishing to know Xiaolei's whereabouts' and 'location', but when he thought about it carefully, what would happen if he knew the location?During the time they went to search, Xiaolei might still be in danger, so after much deliberation, he finally made such a wish.As long as Xiaolei is safe and sound before he finds her, then everything will be fine.

"Oh? What, it's so boring!"

Lily couldn't help pouting and complaining.

This wish is easy to guess, but it doesn't seem to help her make a wish.Moreover, this wish did not mention myself...

Although Lily is also worried about Xiaolei, she can understand her brother's feelings.But no matter what she said, she was still at the age where she wished her brother to love her. Lily had to admit that she still felt a little bit jealous when she saw such a wish.

"What? Jealous?"

Seeing her pouting, Kong Zhe saw through her small thoughts at a glance, couldn't help smiling, and stretched out his hand to rub her head.

"Hmph, not at all!"

Lily turned around, put her hands on her chest, and said very insincerely.

"Because Lily is by my side, I can give you whatever I want, and of course I don't need to make wishes to others."

"Humph……"

Lily pricked up her ears, wondering if she was satisfied with her brother's answer, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and then she hurriedly put it away.Rolling his eyes, he coughed deliberately.

"Oh, I thought of my wish."

As she spoke, she finally picked up the brush and began to write crookedly on the wooden board.

She hadn't used the writing brush a few times, and writing on something as small as a wooden sign added a lot of difficulty out of thin air.Lily sketched on the spot for a long time before finally stopping.

"Why, what did you write?"

Kong Zhe couldn't help asking curiously.

Lili hurriedly hid the wooden sign in front of her chest, and said softly, "Don't ask, it won't work if you ask!"

Kong Zhe spread his hands: "Hey, didn't you read mine just now? It's time for me to read."

"no!"

Lily remained unmoved, holding the wooden sign tightly to her chest.

"Don't talk about this, brother, let's go, let's pick the lanterns!"

As if to divert Kong Zhe's attention, Lily pointed in one direction and took Kong Zhe's hand to walk there.

After the wishing cards are written, they will be placed in the lanterns and let them fly.Most of the Rockies who came to this festival brought homemade lanterns, such as little foxes.But there must be many people like Kong Zhe who are too late to do it.So next to the wishing sign, a row of stalls selling lanterns was naturally erected.

As more and more people flocked to make wishes, the lantern stalls here became very popular. Countless people poured in here, choosing their favorite lanterns, and the booths of several high-end lanterns were crowded.

"Brother, it's beautiful here!"

Lily pulled Kong Zhe and squeezed to one of the big booths.The one that can be favored by the little girl is naturally not an ordinary stall. The quality of the lanterns at this stall is obviously higher, the style is beautiful, and the asking price is also extremely high. Moreover... it seems to be a "love" themed lantern shop. Shop, the lanterns inside are mandarin duck lanterns, Pisces lanterns, twin lotus lanterns and so on.

The style of these lanterns is very popular among women, so it is only natural that most of the shop is surrounded by women who have just made their wishes, all of them have flushed cheeks and are more delicate than flowers.

Kong Zhe didn't even look at it intentionally, but just glanced at it roughly. Sure enough, most of these women's wooden signs were filled with wishes such as 'find a good husband' and 'hope to get married soon'. It's normal to gather here.

As for Lily, she didn't think about it at all, she just thought that the lanterns here were more beautiful.

"Brother, I want this!"

Lily chose a circle, and finally chose, pointing to one of the rabbit lanterns and shouted.

"well."

Kong Zhe smiled helplessly, reached out and brought the lantern over to her.This lantern depicts two cuddling rabbits, with long ears, snow-white fur, and even the eyeballs seem to be made of some kind of jade.

Lily's eyes lit up when she got the lantern, and she kept touching the rabbit's fur. She seemed to like it very much. The handmade lantern was exquisite like a work of art, and she even felt a little reluctant to let it fly.

As for Kong Zhe himself, he didn't pay much attention to it, he just took a nearby pagoda-shaped lantern.Although the lantern was unattractive, he felt that the triangular structure was more stable than others, and it might be able to fly higher later.

After buying the lanterns, the two squeezed out of the crowd and walked to the open space next to them.Light the candles in the two lanterns. After burning for a while, each hold their own lanterns and wait for them to fly into the sky.

Lily watched the rabbit lantern rising slowly, flying higher and higher, her face flushed with excitement, her hands were put on her chest, and she was still thinking about the wish she made before.

On the other side, Kong Zhe's lantern has also been raised.During the flying process just now, Kong Zhe had been paying attention to Lily's movements, but she was careful the whole time and protected the wooden sign very well. He still couldn't see Lili's wish until the wooden sign was put into the lantern.

After the little girl was done, she kept making victory gestures to him, with a look of triumph in her plot, which made Kong Zhe even more curious, what kind of wish did this ghostly girl make?

It's a pity that no matter what Kong Zhe asked, the little girl kept her mouth tight and said nothing, and she made it clear that she would not tell him, so Kong Zhe could only give up.

"Look, this is the invisible pen!"

In the other direction, the little fox is holding the invisible pen, showing off to the few friends he just met with joy.

"Did you see, only under this beam of light can the written words be seen. Isn't it amazing?"

He irradiated the wooden sign with the ultraviolet light at the other end, and a line of light-colored writing appeared on it. The children around all came to watch it, and they all let out exclamations in cooperation.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"How is this done?"

"Can you play for me?"

……

Suddenly being praised by so many peers, the little fox rubbed his head and smiled shyly, but his heart was already full of joy.

Under the gaze of everyone, the little fox put the wooden sign with the wish on it into the lantern and let it fly skillfully.

But just as he was tilting his nose and enjoying the envious eyes around him, Kong Zhe's voice sounded faintly from behind him.

"Did you write the wish with that pen?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"This...you said it yourself, you need ultraviolet light to see it, so even if you are chosen by the fox god, she won't be able to see it, right?"

"what!"

The little fox was stunned for a moment, and after three or four seconds, his eyes suddenly widened.

bad, bad...
