Chapter 28: Prayer Festival, Thousand Lights and Thousand Wishes.

In mid-August of the first year of Dashanhai, the city was moved.

When night falls, the lights are on: the fire trees and silver flowers are together, and the sky lantern night of the star bridge.

The streets of the city are full of people, and it is so lively.

Colorful sky lanterns rise in the sky.

The uneven 100,000 sky lanterns are opened, and the star bridge and iron cable are crossed.

"Xiaolan, don't run around, just put the lights on and just stand in one place, if you lose it, your mother won't find it." A woman is accompanying the little girl to put on the lamp.

The little girl looked up at the lights in the sky, not noticing that she was getting farther and farther away from her mother's field of vision.

The woman's voice was drowned out by the chaotic sound in the surging crowd, and the little girl also walked farther and farther away with the sky lantern flying in the sky.

"What kind of lamp is this, it's so beautiful." Zhiqiu said, pointing to the colorful lights floating in the sky.

"This is Kong Ming Lantern." Chao Ci said.

"It's called a sky lantern," said the keeper.

"Kong Ming lantern? Sky lanterns? Zhiqiu was a little puzzled.

Chao Ci realized that they didn't know who Kong Ming was at all, let alone that this was Kong Ming's lantern, of course, 'sky lantern', it was not wrong to call it that.

"Brother Chaoci misremembered, this is indeed called a sky lantern." Chao Ci said.

Chao Ci didn't want to popularize historical knowledge for them, because his own historical knowledge was like that, and he didn't pass the exam.

"The sky lantern, also known as the prayer lantern, is the time when people put the prayer lantern on the fifteenth day of mid-August every year, so this day is also called the prayer festival." Fox Xiaobai said.

"Prayer is to write one's best wishes on a piece of paper and then paste them on the sky lantern, and the people of mechanical civilization believe that the wish can be fulfilled by flying the sky lantern." Shou Yan said.

Qiancheng belongs to the foreign territory of the mechanical civilization, and the people here belong to the native primitive inhabitants of the mechanical civilization.

Qiancheng, the periphery of mechanical civilization, is thousands of miles away from the ancient city of Xuanxia.

"Brother Chaozi, Sister Shouyan, Sister Xiaobai, I also want to put a sky lantern." Zhiqiu took Chaozi's hand and said.

"Xiaolan, Xiaolan..." What is a woman anxiously looking for in a crowd? The mouth kept calling.

"Have you seen my little orchid? So tall with a ponytail. The woman grabbed the passer-by and asked, tears already welling up in her eyes.

"My Xiaolan, where have you been?" The woman cried out helplessly.

They happened to pass in front of the woman, and the woman grabbed the woman and said, "Have you seen my Xiaolan?" So tall and tied a ponytail. ”

"Xiaolan? A little girl with a round face and big eyes is very cute. Zhiqiu said.

"You've seen my little Lan, where has he gone?" The woman grabbed Zhiqiu, as if she had grasped hope, and said with anticipation in her eyes.

"You're hurting me." Zhiqiu said.

Because of her emotion, the woman grabbed Zhiqiu's hand very hard.

Chao Ci slowly took down the woman's hand and said comfortingly: "Sister, don't worry, we will accompany you to find Xiaolan." ”

"You're the eldest sister, your whole family is the eldest sister, am I that old?" The woman was instantly furious, and the mother, who had just been looking for a child, suddenly only cared about her own appearance and the title of others.

"Sister, if you delay time like this, your child may not be able to find it." Zhiqiu said.

Fox Xiaobai and Shouyan were also speechless to the woman in front of them, and at the same time they also wanted to laugh at Chao Ci and lie down innocently.

"Yes, by the way, where has Xiaolan gone?" Zhiqiu's words turned the woman's attention to the child.

"I just saw that Xiaolan followed a beautiful sky lantern in that direction." Zhiqiu pointed to the direction he had just come and said.

In this way, they joined the search, and ran half of the city to find the little girl.

"Xiaolan, don't run around in the future, my mother will be worried if I lose it." Zhiqiu took the little girl's hand and said.

"Well, just now I saw a sky lantern, very beautiful, very beautiful, and then I followed it, and my mother was gone." After saying that, the little girl burst into tears.

"Xiaolan, don't cry, my brother and sister will accompany you to put the most beautiful sky lantern." Shouyan walked over and stroked the little girl's head and said.

The little girl looks like she is two or three years old, and she looks very cute.

Chao Ci didn't expect that such a cold word would be so loving.

"My sister bought you the best and best sky lantern, okay?" Fox Xiaobai touched the little girl's head and said.

"That, thank you just now for helping me find Xiaolan, you don't need to buy the sky lantern, I have another one here." With that, the woman pulled out a crumpled and broken sky lantern.

"Brother, I want to hug." The little girl ran to Chao Ci and stretched out her hand to hug her.

They came to a shop that sold sky lanterns.

"Xiaolan, you can choose what sky lantern you like." Fox Xiaobai said.

"It's not good, it's going to spoil the kid." The woman was a little embarrassed, and when he saw the broken lantern in his hand, the woman buried her head deeply.

"Mom." The little girl turned her head to the woman and was asking for her consent.

Looking at the little girl's expectant eyes, the woman hesitated for a long time before nodding slowly, and then said, "Only one is allowed." ”

"Yes." The little girl nodded sensibly.

"Xiaolan, you can choose what you like." Fox Xiaobai said.

Fox Xiaobai walked into the store, talked to the boss for a while, Hu Xiaobai threw the boss a dozen crystal shells, only to see the shopkeeper come out with a smile, beckoning the guys in the store to carry the sky lanterns in the store.

"I want that." The little girl picked a beautiful sky lantern.

Chao Ci took it off for him with his own hands, and the little girl held it in her hand, and somehow, the little girl's tears fell out.

"Xiaolan, don't cry, my sister will accompany you to put the sky lantern." Shouyan hugged the little girl and stopped only when he walked to a small bridge.

The owner and the guy of the store put all the sky lanterns on the bridge before leaving happily.

At this time, the bridge was already full of sky lanterns.

The little girl wrote on the note that she hoped that her mother would be happy and that her father would come back soon.

The little girl lit the lantern herself, and then watched as it slowly rose into the air.

The woman stood quietly behind the little girl, watching everything the little girl do, and she had already burst into tears.

It attracts a lot of people, including children in shabby clothes, people in brocade clothes, and wandering ronin.

"Come, let's all put up the sky lantern together." Fox Xiaobai shouted.

After a burst of cheers, everyone who watched joined in, whether it was a shabby child, a man in brocade, or a wandering ronin.

There are enough sky lanterns, there are thousands of them, so don't worry about not having enough.

Chaozi, Zhiqiu They wrote their wishes on the slip of paper, and then watched the thousand sky lanterns rise into the sky, at this moment, all the faces were filled with happy smiles, yes, happy smiles.

Since Chao Ci came to this new world, he has never felt full of warmth and happiness like today, although it is also very warm with Shouyan and Hu Xiaobai, but this is different.

Looking at the sky lantern slowly rising in the sky, for others it is just a sky lantern, but for a few people, it is a thousand good wishes.

"Chaozi, what wish did you make?" Fox Xiaobai walked over and hugged Chao Ci and said.

Words: "I..."

"Don't bother with her, it won't work if you say it." Shou Yan said.

At this moment, a rain of flowers fell in the sky, and a shadow came by stepping on the lamp.

"There seems to be a figure somewhere just now." Zhiqiu pointed to the sky lantern in the sky and said.

"Come with me."

A voice sounded, and then Zhiqiu, who was standing in front of the eyes of Chao Ci, disappeared.
