Cthulhu

Chapter 403 River Lantern Festival

"It's a bit behind now, but in the future it will become a rich land." With a longing look on his face, Cheng Cheng experienced the changes in Jade Maiden City carefully. In such a short time, a lot has changed, and I believe that in the near future Jade Girl City will be a place that everyone yearns for.

"Is there any candied haws?" It was another childish sentence, which made people laugh.

"Of course there is, as much as you want, it's no problem to burst your belly."

"Really? Then take me to buy it now."

"Now?"

"Yes!" Nodding seriously, Shui Qilin stretched out his pincers, quite threatening.

His gaze shifted to Liu Sishi, and she had a determined look on her face. If she didn't take the water unicorn with her, she might have signed a separation agreement for herself.He had no choice but to soften up and said to Shi Ao: "Brother, everyone, please settle down, I'll be back after going out here for a while."

"No problem." Shi Ao agreed boldly, and his words were equivalent to Cheng Cheng's words in Jade Girl City, which carried a lot of weight.

Before she had time to meet her parents, she had no choice but to take Liu Sishi to the outside of the city lord's mansion. She also pulled the water unicorn, and Nangong Yuling hesitated for a moment, then followed closely.

Only Long Xiang and the group were left, led by Shi Ao to find the Fuwei Army, and met Yan Dong, the commander of the Fuwei Army, and asked him to settle down all the people.Seeing the arrival of Stallone and others, everyone was very happy and talked about getting drunk endlessly.

Since the brothers of Death Blade are all outstanding figures in Yuying Academy, it is difficult to get together. This time we meet in Jade Girl City, so Yan Dong naturally wants to have a drink with them.The members of the Heaven Slaughter Department are all good-looking, with unlimited potential. This Yan Dong knows in his heart, otherwise Cheng Cheng would not be so valued. The aura emanating from each of them really makes Yan Dong admire , it is not easy to have such an achievement at such a young age.

When it comes to drinking, Bai Yufeng and the holy beast Dragon Elephant are naturally indispensable. After they settled down, everyone gathered together to toast and drink together.

"What time is it now? There must be no candied haws for sale, or I'll take you to buy them tomorrow morning." It was so late, and Cheng Cheng was sure that there were no people on the street, let alone anyone selling candied haws. Qilin is really a pest.

But he can't do anything about this stalker, maybe this is the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint, Shui Qilin saw that Cheng Cheng cared about Liu Sishi very much, and Liu Sishi liked her very much, and he had to rely on her for everything, so he took advantage of this Cheng Cheng's relationship was overwhelmed.

"No, I have to buy candied haws tonight, otherwise I won't have anything to eat tonight." She shook her head resolutely.

"But there are no people on the street now, let alone selling candied haws. Aren't you just looking for trouble for nothing?" As she said that, she felt a bit gnashed, and really wanted to give her a good beating.

"I'm just looking for trouble, how about you? You don't have to follow if you're capable. Hmph!" He didn't buy into Cheng Cheng's account at all, because Shui Qilin knew in his heart that as long as Liu Sishi was made happy, Cheng Cheng would be completely taken over by her. Clamp down.

Shui Qilin also has a nice name called Ling'er, seeing her triumphant expression, Cheng Cheng clenched his fist and glared at her, the meaning is obvious, be careful if you keep pestering people like this.

But Ling'er was not only not afraid, but also yelled loudly, took Liu Sishi's hand and shouted: "Sister, you see he scares me and wants to beat me."

"Is it true?" Looking back at Cheng Cheng, Liu Sishi puffed up her cheeks and asked Bangzi.

"Don't listen to this little thing's nonsense, how can I have the same knowledge as such a little kid? Right, Yuling!" He hugged Nangong Yuling in his arms, Cheng Cheng showed an expression that adults don't care about little kids.

"You're not a brat yet." Nangong Yuling spat out a sentence that made him vomit blood.

It is true that Nangong Yuling is one year older than Da Chengcheng, so calling him a kid is not an exaggeration.

"Look, look, there are people on the street, so many people dare to lie to us that there is no one, hum." Ling'er, who was pulling Liu Sishi, excitedly pointed to the street ahead and shouted.

Looking over, I saw that the street was indeed brightly lit, and under the magic lights, pedestrians came and went, which looked no less than during the day.

Such a scene surprised Cheng Cheng, he hadn't returned to Jade Maiden City for only a month, and the changes in the city were so great, it was unimaginable.Unexpectedly, there is even a night market, and it looks very lively.

"There are really a lot of people going to the market. The Jade Girl City really changes every day." Looking at the really lively street ahead, Nangong Yuling couldn't help but sigh with emotion. There was no night market at all when I came last time, and it was not very lively during the day. I didn't expect that even the night market now It's all done.

"Wow, look at the river, there are so many river lanterns." Pulling Liu Sishi straight to the river, Ling'er jumped up and down and shouted, very happy.

"It's so beautiful." Women like beautiful or romantic scenes. Seeing the densely packed river lanterns floating in the river, Liu Sishi's face was full of intoxication.

"What day is tonight? Why are there so many people coming to set off the river lanterns?" I wondered in my heart, forgetting about today's day, it's not a festival, let alone the anniversary of the death of a great man, how could so many people come to the market Let the river lanterns go?It was so lively.

"I don't know, it shouldn't be a festival." Nangong Yuling was also puzzled, counting the days, she really couldn't think of what festival it was tonight.

Cheng Cheng had no choice but to pull someone by the side of the road, and asked, "Friend, what festival is tonight, why is it so lively in Jade Girl City?"

"Are you from out of town?"

"Yes, just arrived tonight."

"Hey, no wonder you don't know about the River Lantern Festival tonight. This is a river lantern festival organized by the people of the city for the purpose of praying and making wishes. I just made a wish. I hope that Lord Marylou will always be the Lord of Jade Girl City. Under her leadership, the people of our whole city have seen the dawn, and she is really a rare and good city lord." That eloquent talker seemed to be a loyal supporter of Marylou.

"Oh, it turned out that it was held independently. We thought it was some kind of festival." Nodding his head, Cheng Sheng finally understood.

"The economic conditions of every household in Jade Maiden City have gradually become richer under the leadership of Lord Mary Lou. Everyone's pockets are bulging, and naturally they want to do something meaningful. This day is our Jade Maiden City's festival, dedicated to The holiday that Lord Marylou prays for." Talking about the new beautiful castellan, who is the same as the pig butcher fat third brother, full of praise, it can be seen that Marylou is very popular.

With a gratified smile on his face, letting Marylou be the lord of the Jade Maiden City was something Cheng Cheng felt was right. It took a lot of effort to enrich such a large city in such a short period of time. Things that big men can't do, but she did.

How much bitterness and painstaking efforts have been put in during this period is naturally beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

"Lulu is really amazing." Standing shoulder to shoulder with Cheng Cheng, Nangong Yuling said from the bottom of her heart that there are very few people in the whole fight that she can praise, but Marylou's achievements completely impressed her Yes, a woman can have such charm that the whole city prays for her, which shows that this woman is indeed worthy of people's respect.

"That's right." Nodding his head, Cheng Cheng didn't know what to say, his mood was surging.

"Come on, let's go release the river lantern and make a wish." Liu Sishi suggested to Cheng Cheng after pulling Ling'er back.

"Okay, let's set off the river lanterns too." Cheng Cheng really wanted to set off a river lantern, not because of any romance, but because he really wanted to pray for Marylou like the residents in these cities.

The four of them walked towards the place where the river lanterns were placed, bought four river lanterns, one for each person, lit the river lanterns, gently placed them on the water and pushed them out, the river lanterns swam down with the gently flowing water The four of them made a wish when they released the river lanterns.

"What wish did you make? Can you tell me?" Ling'er was curious about what wish Cheng Cheng made, so she couldn't help but looked up at him and asked. , "Little kid, you are too strict." Unable to stand her innocent appearance, her long hair was messed up, and her angelic appearance was wrapped in the essence of a witch, which gave Cheng Cheng a headache endlessly.

"It's fine if you don't say it." Pretending to be unhappy, Ling'er walked forward pitifully.

Liu Sishi pulled Ling'er, and turned her gaze to Cheng Cheng, knowing that he would make do with her in everything, and she would make do with Ling'er, so her eyes were full of pleading.

"You can't spoil her like this, this little brat is crazy." Cheng Cheng shook his head, he couldn't bear Liu Sishi's obedience to Ling'er.

"Tell me, okay?"

"It's obviously a blessing, but it won't work if you say it."

"But I want to hear it." The sad look, the loss of words, and the charming appearance are definitely the killer's trump card for men.

"Okay, okay, I really can't stand you, I'm praying for Lulu, there's nothing shameful about it." Seeing her mournful look, Cheng Sheng had the urge to feel sorry for her, and he could only do as she wished.

Ling'er, who was not satisfied with the test, turned her head proudly and made a face. It seemed that Liu Sishi really liked this water unicorn. What Cheng Cheng was thinking at the moment was no longer how to trick this water unicorn, but How to drive her away, otherwise she will definitely destroy the harmony between himself and his own woman.

"By the way, Brother Cheng, do you like Sister Sishi more or Sister Yuling more?" Linger rolled her eyes, and suddenly raised an extremely sensitive and sharp topic.
