Yokai grocery store

Chapter 8: Lantern Wish (8)

"...People have sorrows and joys, and the moon has cloudy and sunny waxes and wanes. This matter is difficult in ancient times. I hope that people will live a long time and share the joys and joys of thousands of miles."

Early in the morning, Xiang Xiaocheng began to look at Boss Shen eagerly.

He had nothing to do these few days, so he spent a lot of time memorizing this poem, just to read it today, and it was considered a occasion.

Shen Qingzhuo comforted him: "Don't worry, wait until it's dark before putting on the lights."

"Okay." Xiang Xiaocheng was lost for a moment, then cheered up again, and continued chatting with the narcissus basin - after tonight, he will leave, and he may never have the chance to chat with these little antiques again.

In this short week, what I have experienced is grotesque yet full of warmth.Xiang Xiaocheng vaguely guessed the unusualness of the old street, but he was also very lucky for his good luck. Even if he became a ghost, he could meet so many good people... Uh, maybe they weren't people.

The old street was very lively on this day, and there were many customers in the grocery store, including tourists and residents of the old street.

Tourists like to buy some exquisite small objects, such as wood carvings, stone carvings, etc., as souvenirs of their visit, while the residents of the old street are excitedly asking Boss Shen for a little blessing.

Shen Qingzhuo never refuses anyone who comes. He sometimes looks colder, but in fact he is still gentle in nature. He is very kind to these little monsters in the old street. Whoever comes to ask for blessings, he will lightly shake his fingertips. Many small white balls emitting a hazy light fell down, like clouds, and landed in the hands of the guests.

Shen Qingzhuo is a big demon lotus that has lived for tens of thousands of years, almost as long as the heaven and the earth. What circulates in his body is the purest and flawless spiritual energy that was produced when the heaven and the earth first divided tens of thousands of years ago. It is not true to say that he is a monster. It is accurate. In other words, he is almost the existence of a demon god.

Every ray of spiritual energy and every ball of white light from him can bring great benefits to these little demon cubs.

Of course, Xiang Xiaocheng would not doubt Boss Shen's ability, but what puzzled him was that the man said to be surnamed Long did not come today.

At first, he thought that the man was delayed because of something, but after waiting all day, until the sky gradually darkened, tourists were all persuaded to leave the old street, and the man still did not appear.

Xiang Xiaocheng took a peek at Boss Shen's expression, Boss Shen's expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care.But he knew that if this "Brother Long" didn't come, Boss Shen would probably be unhappy... Although he never mentioned it, through this week's observation, Xiang Xiaocheng still found that only "Brother Long" Boss Shen's expression will be more real when he is there.

The usual Boss Shen, although smiling, warm and gentle, always seemed to have a sense of alienation.

He didn't know what happened between Boss Shen and "Brother Long", so he couldn't comfort him... Boss Shen didn't seem to need his comfort very much either.

……

When night completely enveloped the entire old street, Shen Qingzhuo took out two Kongming lanterns, took one with Xiang Xiaocheng, and walked out of the grocery store.

Say goodbye to Xiaocheng, the little antiques in the grocery store, and the cowards in the lantern, and follow Boss Shen step by step.

On the street, monsters in the form of humans saw them and greeted them happily.They all knew what the Kongming Lantern meant, and after saying hello, they all wished Xiang Xiaocheng a few words.

"Go all the way, little brother!"

"Little brother will be a rich second generation in his next life!"

"Little brother, go home and have a good holiday!"

Xiang Xiaocheng thanked them, and followed Boss Shen to the end of the old street—huh? ?

Isn't the grocery store already at the end of the old street?Why can you continue to go down?

The road in front of me spread and lengthened in an instant, there were no low houses on the side of the road, and there were no pedestrians on the road.A mist-like whiteness floated on both sides of the road. Through the white mist, Xiang Xiaocheng vaguely felt that both sides were wilderness, filled with a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

"The moon is rising." In the silence, Shen Qingzhuo spoke gently.

Xiang Xiaocheng looked up at the sky.The ice wheel hangs high, round and cold like a jade plate, and the stars are scattered in the night, setting off the bright moon. It is a night scene that cannot be seen in the city... The last time I saw the bright moon hanging high and the sky full of stars was in the village when I was a child. .

Shen Qingzhuo lightly lifted the Kongming lantern in his hand, and it floated up by itself, and a warm orange light had already ignited inside.

A small red string was tied under the Kongming Lantern, Shen Qingzhuo lifted it up, and gently tied it to Xiang Xiaocheng's wrist.

Xiang Xiaocheng felt his body lighten instantly, as if he was about to float up.He tiptoed, jumped, and realized that he was really floating.

This feeling is very strange, at this time he really felt a little bit like a ghost.He smiled in surprise: "I'm flying! Boss Shen, I'm flying!"

Shen Qingzhuo nodded with a smile, let him let go, and released the other Kongming lantern.The Kongming Lantern, which was also burning with warm light, fluttered into mid-air and stopped still, as if waiting for the lantern with Xiang Xiaocheng to catch up.

Xiang Xiaocheng asked loudly in mid-air: "Boss Shen, am I going home?"

Shen Qingzhuo raised her head slightly, her voice was very soft, but it fell into Xiang Xiaocheng's ears clearly: "Go, the lantern will take you home."

"Okay!" Xiang Xiaocheng waved his hands frantically at Boss Shen reluctantly and excitedly, even shaking the Kongming lantern, "Boss Shen—thank you—"

Shen Qingzhuo smiled and said nothing.

The night sky turned out to be so beautiful.

Kongming Lantern took him all the way home, Xiang Xiaocheng looked forward expectantly, in a happy mood.He was a ghost, very light and swayed by the wind.He tilted his head slightly, as if he could hold the stars in his hands——oh wait, what did Boss Shen say about the reward?

A ray of moonlight.

Xiang Xiaocheng spread out his palm, and the moonlight fell on his palm, as gentle as running water. He closed his palm carefully, feeling like catching a swimming fish, slightly cold to the touch.

"Ah, how do I give it to Boss Shen..." Xiang Xiaocheng murmured, and sent his hand back tentatively, a ray of bright moonlight turned into a swimming fish, turned playfully in a circle, and faced the ground. fall down.

"Fly away... Can Boss Shen receive it?" Xiang Xiaocheng became happy watching the little moonlight fish fly away, "Boss Shen must receive it!"

……

The moonlight fish swims happily in the night sky, playing in the direction of Shen Qingzhuo while playing.In the dark night, its light is very conspicuous.

Shen Qingzhuo showed a gentle smile, and reached out to catch the little moonlight fish.

The translucent hazy little moonlight fish rubbed against Shen Qingzhuo's slender and white fingertips coquettishly, then lay obediently in his palm, turning into a finger-length fish-shaped jade.The moonlight flows in the moon-white jade, exuding a cool light.

Shen Qingzhuo put it away, brushed off his sleeves, and turned back.

This road is called the Wilderness Road. It is the junction of the world and the world of the afterlife, so it is relatively desolate.Shen Qingzhuo casually walked back on the gravel path, and when he was about to return to the old street, he saw a kitten demon cub that had turned into a prototype, poking its head.

"Meow meow!" The little cat demon happily ran to rub against Shen Qingzhuo's feet, the bright cat pupils were eager to see it just now!Boss Shen brought spicy——what a big lamp to put it on!It also wants it!

Shen Qingzhuo understood its meaning, smiled, leaned over and rubbed its head, and with a flick of his fingertips, a palm-sized Kongming lantern made of spiritual energy floated leisurely on the kitten's head. In front of him, "I'll see you off, let's go home."

The little cat demon Zaizai spun around excitedly, and after a while, it turned into its original shape, a five or six-year-old boy with big and clear eyes.He stretched out his chubby little hand to hold the Kongming lantern, and asked in a childlike voice, "Boss Shen, can I make a wish?"

Shen Qingzhuo nodded.

The little boy cheered, holding the lamp in a dignified manner and began to make a wish: "I want to make a wish... I want to make a wish, I want a beautiful cat wife in the future!" He let go, and the small Kongming lantern carried his wish, flickering Fly into the sky.

The little boy obediently thanked Shen Qingzhuo, and ran away happily.

Shen Qingzhuo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed... Are all the monsters now so straightforward?

He looked at the old street in front of him, and he was only one step away from stepping out of the wilderness road. However, the moment he took that step, the spiritual energy in the air fluctuated slightly, and the scene of the old street was like a tide in the next moment. retreated, and became a wasteland again.

Shen Qingzhuo stopped in her tracks.

On that boundless wasteland, slowly rising... a sea of ​​lights.

The author has something to say: Today's Dahei is still secretly making troubles and has not appeared...

Flipping through the next chapter, I fell into deep thought.There should be no red locks, right?

No way. (Whispering.
