Chapter Eighty-Five: Fireflies
A firefly lantern is a lighting prop that is round and about the size of a normal pebble. It can float in the air to emit strong light, which is more convenient to use, and the wind and rain will not affect its lighting.
The business travelers of Demon Fire Town will bring a lot of fireflies when they go out, one is for lighting at night, and the other is that there is a rumor that this firefly lamp has the effect of praying for blessings and blessings, and it is best to walk outside and use fireflies to illuminate.
After leaving the tavern, Ye Ming came to the rice field in the north of the town. This is the place where the crops in the demon fire town are concentrated, and it is autumn, the harvest season, and the rice fields are full of golden rice.
On top of this large rice field, there are several light spots that emit strong light, illuminating the night of the rice field as if it were day.
These points of light are fluorescent lights. Why are there firelight lanterns on the rice fields? When he saw the fireflies for the first time, Ye Ming felt that it was amazing, and the origin of these fireflies made Ye Ming feel even more incredible.
Ye Ming was already familiar with the terrain of Demon Fire Town, he had been to the rice fields north of the town a few times, and knew that there was a strange tree here.
The tree was bare, with no leaves, only branches, and from the outside it looked like an ordinary tree withered by the late autumn, but during the day, it was very ordinary.
But at night, the bare branches are covered with bright points of light, and when the wind blows, they leave the branches of the trees and fly into the air, and then float on the rice fields.
That's the fluorescent lantern. At night, some of the younger children in Demon Fire Town usually like to come to this rice field, and when this strange tree bears a firefly lamp, they will carefully hook it down with a long pole and hold it in the palm of their hand.
The people in the town say that this is a sacred tree, and it is also a symbol in the demon fire town, they say that this tree is at least a few hundred years old, and if you want to ask why this tree bears fireflies at night, no one in the demon fire town can say it clearly, each has its own statement.
This tree is also called the Firefly Tree.
"How do you make this fluorescent lantern?" Ye Ming stood next to the firefly tree, looking at the bare branches.
Firefly trees can produce up to a dozen firefly lamps in one night, since the source of firefly lamps is firefly trees, so the method of making firefly lamps should also be learned from this firefly tree, right?
There is nothing strange about the surface of this tree, and the soil around it is also ordinary soil, Ye Ming has observed it for a long time, and he doesn't know where this firefly lamp came from.
After thinking about it, Ye Ming thought of a way.
Fairy Kite skill.
The description of this skill is that it can summon the divine power of the paper kite, and when used on specific occasions, it will have the effect of guiding the maze and breaking the state of mind. Ye Ming didn't know if the Immortal Kite skill could produce an effect under the firefly tree, but now he was helpless and could only give it a try.
The fairy kite skill was used, a pink point of light flew out from Ye Ming's fingertips, and after a few circles on the firefly tree, the pink point of light turned into a blue bird and stopped on the branch of the firefly tree, the blue bird pecked lightly on the branch a few times, and a new firefly lamp emerged from the branch.
The blue bird held the firefly lamp in its mouth, flew to Ye Ming's palm, and after putting down the firefly lamp that it pecked out, the bluebird dissipated.
"It's ...... Wick of fluorescent lamp? Ye Ming checked the fluorescent lamp with the information instrument, and the information given was the wick of the fluorescent lamp, which can be used to make the fluorescent lamp.
The wick is not a one-time prop and can be reused, and the CD used is 10 minutes. Wicks can be used to make glow lamps, and the branches of the firefly tree are also needed.
The branches of the firefly tree are very precious things, and no one in Demon Fire Town will break the branches of the firefly tree, so how can the branches come from?
Every autumn, the firefly tree automatically sheds some branches, and these branches are collected by the people of Demon Fire Town, some are used to make some knick-knacks, and some are kept at home as collections.
To get the branches of the Firefly Tree, you can only buy them from the people of Demon Fire Town.
Ye Ming's first thought was the owner of the grocery store. He's from Demon Fire Town, and he owns a grocery store, and the branches of the firefly tree, he will definitely have it.
Putting the wick of the fluorescent lamp into the prop backpack, Ye Ming planned to go to the grocery store.
Before knocking on the door, Ye Ming subconsciously looked at the small building next to the grocery store, and stared at the window of the building while knocking.
Fortunately, this time before the old man opened the door, the man who had eaten the gunpowder did not appear.
"Come in and sit." The old man beckoned Ye Ming into the grocery store.
"An An is completely fine, right?" Ye Ming asked about the situation of the dancer An An.
"It's been fine for a long time, didn't you ask last time? You wouldn't really want to invite her to a bar? Then I can tell you, if you can't drink her, we can't drink her together. The old man smiled. Last time he drank with Ye Ming, he knew how much Ye Ming drank.
"I don't like to drink, the wine you drank last time was too strong." Ye Ming thought of the old man who took out the old wine last time, and hurriedly waved his hand.
"It's good not to drink. You came to me, something? The old man asked.
"Well, I want to ask if you have any firefly branches here, I want to buy them." Ye Ming looked at the things on the shelves of the grocery store, there were no branches of the firefly tree.
"The branches of the firefly tree? I have it here, and An An got a lot back in the autumn of the past few years, and now she is slowly growing up, and she doesn't pick up the branches of the firefly tree in the autumn, and the girl grows up. The old man sighed.
"Can you sell me some?" Ye Ming asked.
"Talking about what to sell or not, it's too outward, although this thing is precious, but it has no practical effect, and it is also picked up from under the firefly tree, if you want it, I will give it to you." If it's not enough, I'll ask An An to pick up some in the fall. The old man said.
"Thank you then, no more, about half a meter long is enough." Ye Ming gestured and said.
"Okay, I'll get it for you." The old man went upstairs as he spoke.
After a while, the old man came down with three branches, all of which were about the same length, half a meter.
"Take it all, what do you want this thing for?" The old man handed the branch to Ye Ming.
"Make a firelight." Ye Ming didn't hide it.
"Do you make fireflies? What did the town's artisans teach you? No, his craft is not passed on, and his two sons have not learned it. The old man thought something strange.
"Then I'm afraid I'm going to be the second person in Demon Fire Town who can make firelight lanterns. Paper Kite Divine Power, didn't you always say that no one in the town could summon it? Ye Ming smiled slightly.
"You kid really has some special skills, you have to make a firefly lamp, can you sell me one? An An likes it, but she feels that she has grown up again, and she is embarrassed to go to the children in the town to grab the firefly lanterns on the firefly trees, buy it, and it is often out of stock. The old man said.
"Say what you don't sell, so I'll do it, I'll give you a few." Ye Ming said the old man's words just now.
"Okay, don't see the outside, then I'll wait for your fluorescent lantern."
"Okay, I'll send it to you tomorrow morning."
