12, Wishing Box (II)
Li Xiang took out the box and handed it directly to me.
I first looked at the box back and forth, one side of the box was pitch black, and the other side was painted with a lotus pattern with golden lines.
The box can be opened, the lid on it is very thin, and the buckle is not particularly tight, so you only need to hold it lightly to open the box. But there's nothing in this box, it's an empty wooden box, and you can get your wish fulfilled with this thing, how to think about it and think it's.
"You said you saw Mao Xiansheng make a wish for this box?" I asked, holding the box.
"Hmm." Li Xiang nodded vigorously.
"What did he wish for?" Qiao Wei asked beside him.
"Once I received a large order for puppets, and then that afternoon I overheard him make a wish that he wanted to get out of the order overnight, and the next day the puppets were really all done. Another time was when he wanted to go to see a movie with Zhang Xiaoying that premiered, and then he needed to grab a ticket, so he made a wish and said that he hoped to get two tickets, but the ticket really got it. There are many similar wishes, such as hoping to have a new carving knife, hoping to get half price when buying raw materials, and so on. ”
"Didn't he avoid you when he made his wish?" I wondered.
"Those who avoid it are all avoided it, so I said that I overheard it, and he found out once, because he didn't let me go to the place of work for a month, and he didn't let me go back until I took the initiative to find him to admit his mistake."
"Where did you find this box? In the studio? I continued to ask.
"Even if it is, I actually turned it out on my master's body, and he always carried this box with him."
"And what did you wish for the box?" I asked.
"I made a wish to win the $5 million lottery and went to buy a bet and it didn't win. Later, I made a wish that I could find a job where I didn't have to do any work every day and could earn tens of thousands of dollars a month, but I haven't realized it yet. Last night I made a wish that I would like to have puppets to help me with my work, to do the puppet processing business for me, and let me inherit my master's business, and it seems to have turned out ......."
"Wait! What did you wish you made last night? You elaborate again!! I suddenly realized that the matter seemed to be here, so I hurriedly asked.
Li Xiang seemed to be frightened by my tone again, and he breathed a sigh of relief before resuming: "I said that I made a wish on the box, hoping that there would be puppets to process puppets for me, just like my master Mao Xiansheng did before, so that I can continue to do my master's business, and the business of that shop is really haode." ”
"I know business is good! But I didn't want that workshop in the first place, and I told Mao Xiankang yesterday to hand over that shop to you. ”
"Really?" Li Xiang suddenly became excited, but in an instant he was lost again, "But I don't know how to make puppets, even if I have that workshop, it's useless, so I made a wish that those puppets can help me like I help my master, but I didn't expect those puppets to kill people, this is not my wish." ”
"So you're not afraid that your master will come back to life or something, you're afraid that this box will misinterpret your wishes, right?"
"There may be a reason for this, but I was really afraid that my master would come back to life again, or that he would be resurrected? If he had known that I had taken his wishbox, I would probably be the next to die. The more Li Xiang spoke, the more panicked he became, and the beads of sweat on his head were dripping down.
I told Li Xiang that Mao Xiansheng must be dead, and he will not return his soul, as long as Li Xiang is with me and Qiao Wei, he will definitely not be in danger. My words somewhat reassured Li Xiang, and gradually his emotions calmed down a little.
Li Xiang was honest, and I quickly recalled what he had just said.
Mao Xiansheng made wishes for the box, and these wishes seemed to have come true; Li Xiang may have wished for the box, but his wish has not been realized.
Is it that the box simply does not have the ability to fulfill wishes? Or will the box also pick the owner?
I think it's possible to both, but there is another possibility, that is, Li Xiang's wish is wrong.
Mao Xiansheng's wishes can be described in three words in three words - small things.
Compared with Mao Xiansheng, Li Xiang's wish is much more greedy. What would have happened if Lee had wanted to change his wish to something simpler? For example, "If you don't have to go downstairs, you will have a KFC family bucket at the door of the room" and so on.
It doesn't make much sense just to think about it, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, so I immediately asked Li Xiang to make a simple wish to the box, just to make the "whole family bucket" wish I just thought.
Li Xiang also obeyed, and then the three of us waited in the room to see if his wish would come true.
We waited from more than two o'clock in the afternoon to seven o'clock in the evening, the door of the hotel was never knocked, and we also opened the door in the middle to go out to see a lot of eyes, not to mention the whole family bucket, not even a bowl of instant noodles, it seems that the box wish is completely nonsense, not reliable at all.
Although I am very homely, the hotel is not home after all, and it is really uncomfortable to stay here, so I decided to go downstairs for dinner. After a full meal, I wanted to leave the box and send Li Xiang away, but this kid didn't leave, and slept in our room at night, saying that it was okay to sleep on the floor.
In view of what I said to Li Xiang before, I can only let him stay.
When the three of us got back to the hotel, something happened that surprised and excited me at the same time!
There was a tray on the floor at the door of our room, and inside the tray was a large red bucket with a bold "KFC" mark on the bucket!
Li Xiangxu's wish came true!
KFC's family bucket literally appeared at the door of our room!
The three of us used all sorts of surprised words such as "", "damn", "I'm going", and before we could enter the room, I couldn't wait to take out a box with a lotus flower on it.
"Think again, what other wishes are better to achieve, let's try again! Qiao Wei, you come! "I feel like I've become a kid all of a sudden, and in my hand it's the funniest thing in shijie.
Qiao Wei thought about it for a while, then took out three hundred yuan and put it on the box and said, "You go and help me buy two Hobbit Blu-Discs back!" ”
"With money? The whole family bucket didn't use the money just now. I said.
"Reduce the difficulty by 300, you want to be genuine." Qiao Wei said as he put the money on the box.
I don't think it's enough to just make a wish, we waited in the room for so long before the family bucket didn't come, and the family bucket came after a trip, which also reminds me of a story in Japan called "The Crane Repays the Favor", it is likely that making a wish to the box must also meet another condition, that is, to stay away from the place of wishing.
So we simply put Qiao Wei's 300 yuan on the hotel table, and then the three of us went out to find a teahouse to spend more than an hour, and when we returned to the hotel, there were really two Blu-ray discs of "The Hobbit" on the table.
Now there is no doubt about it, we have got a baby! A wishing box!
