Chapter 61 Putting the Lantern

The three of them went out and found that Yelang's night was so bustling and lively, even more lively than in the central part of the mainland. Although there were few pedestrians on these streets during the day, this night was a different situation. The pedestrians on the streets, both men and women were completely renewed at this time. The men's and beautifully dressed women were dressed one by one, which stimulated the attention of Lin Sheng and others.

"Look over there, what are the highlights floating in the air?" Guixiao was like a rustic bun entering the city at this time, pointing to the highlights in the distance and asked excitedly.

"Oh, that's that, that's lanterns, this is the custom of Miaojiang. Whenever there are festivals, boys and girls will come to the river to put lanterns. Look at that river, that is the largest river in the entire continent. In ancient times, it is said that this river was transformed by an ancestor dragon that died thousands of years ago. The river water is yellow all year round. The locals call it the Yellow River. This river flows through most of the fairy continent and then flows to the west in this direction." Liu Pojun tirelessly explained some ancient legends to Lin Sheng and Gui Xiao, which made Lin Sheng and Gui Xiao yearn for a while. Somehow, Lin Sheng suddenly felt that the yellow river water in front of him seemed to have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Do you want lanterns?" Lin Sheng was thinking about whether he had seen the mixed river water there. A woman in her fifties stood in front of the three of them with a large string of small lanterns and asked carefully.

"Thank you, no need, we're just here to take a look." Liu Pojun waved his hand indifferently and refused.

"Buy a few and write the name of your beloved on it. Maybe she will see it." The old woman said unwillingly. These few festivals were not the season for lanterns, but almost most of the residents of Yelang Country are outsiders, so no one cares about the specific time. No matter what time, people will come here to put lanterns, so the lanterns can be seen all year round, and it has become a major attraction here.

"Buy a few, anyway, it's still early, so we can play around. Just treat it as following the local customs and feel the style of Miaojiang." Lin Sheng persuaded and signaled Guixiao to pay money. At this moment, Guixiao has money on him. Although Lin Sheng also has it, most of it is money tickets. It is impossible to spend money on things when buying things. Seeing that Lin Sheng was talking, Guixiao naturally stopped saying anything and started paying money.

Seeing that Lin Sheng was about to pay for it, the old woman was happy and quickly placed the lantern on the ground for Lin Sheng to choose. Lin Sheng picked three lotus-shaped lanterns and asked:

"Auntie, how do you sell these lanterns?"

"Two lanterns and one spiritual coin." The old woman answered while litting Lin Sheng's lanterns.

"It's so cheap? Then give us two." Lin Sheng picked it up, Guixiao handed over three spiritual coins to the old woman, and picked four of them with Liu Pojun.

"Young man, I'll give it to you." The old woman picked up a small and exquisite lantern from behind and handed it to Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng looked up and saw that the lantern was obviously much better than the two he chose just now. Both the workmanship and the patterns on it were much more exquisite.

"How can I be so embarrassed? Aunt, I won't receive any rewards without any merits!" Although Lin Sheng liked this lantern very much, he did not accept it easily.

"It's okay, this is the rule of a foolish woman. Anyone who buys lanterns will give you one every day. This is made by my daughter. One is always like this." The old woman said with a smile, her words full of sincerity.

"You're welcome, thank you, aunt." Lin Sheng took the lantern, thanked the old woman and began to look at the lantern carefully. Lin Sheng discovered the extraordinaryness of the lantern. The materials made were different from the lanterns sold. The lanterns sold just now were all made of paper, but the lanterns were completely made of orange peels. Several complete orange peels were connected to form a chrysanthemum, and then a picture of a lady was painted on it. The painting was very vivid and almost coming back to life. It was really hard to imagine that it was from the hands of a blind girl.

"Come and write your blessing!" The woman seemed to be surprised by Lin Sheng, and she handed it to Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng took the pen and slowly wrote it on it. Soon after, he wrote blessings on the three lanterns. One was about Duan Xin, the other was about praying for his parents, and the remaining one was about blessings to the blind girl he had never seen before. Lin Sheng admired the blind girl who had not seen it and thought that he must be a skillful woman, so he wrote blessings on her, and then solemnly put the three lanterns into the water, allowing them to slowly float to the distance with the waves...

He handed the pen to Guixiao. The words written by Guixiao are really ugly. They are tilted and are no different from those of the chicken claws. Liu Pojun is much more beautiful, and the words written with one hand are vigorous and powerful.

Guixiao didn't have the leisure to do these things, but seeing Lin Sheng's solemn look, he also learned to put the lanterns seriously into the water, and even put the birds in his hands together. Anyway, Lin Sheng and Liu Pojun didn't understand a single word. However, the old woman looked at Guixiao in surprise and asked:

"Big brother, do you know how to speak Miao?"

"Miao Yu?" Lin Sheng and Liu Pojun were stunned. It turned out that the ghost laughter had just said that the bird songs were Miao Yu. I really didn't realize that this guy didn't usually show that he was leaking. He actually knew this.

"How could I know Miao language? I heard a friend say it before, but I didn't know what it means, so I wrote it down. Now I suddenly remembered him, so I couldn't help but mutter a few words..." Guixiao touched his head embarrassedly and said.

"Hey, by the way, aunt, you probably understand Miao language. What do those sentences mean?" Guixiao suddenly remembered something and asked.

"I understand this. I wondered what you meant just now. So that's it..." the old woman said with a smile.

"What do those few sentences mean?" Lin Sheng also asked playfully at this time.

"I'm very hungry, I want to eat."

"Ah! That's what those words mean!" Guixiao was stunned, and then she fell down like an eggplant made by frost. This time she was embarrassed but she threw her shame to her grandma's house. She was still showing off her self-righteously. She actually said this to her. She greeted the female relative of the guy who told him hundreds of times. Guixiao really wanted to jump into the river at this time.

Lin Sheng and Liu Pojun were holding their stomachs and laughing so hard that they were almost breathless. Even the old woman couldn't help laughing a few times.

"Haha, I'm so hilarious. I said, "God laugh, didn't you have a big meal just now? Why did you get hungry after walking a few steps!"
