Me and the Doll Girl of Zhidiao Island

Chapter 30 29. In the festival, the sky lantern flying against the sky (2)

Shimizu Ken packed up the money and left a letter of advice, so he ran over to find Naoko Taki and Mitsuko with a playful smile on his face.

Just at the right time, Takimitsu Naoko raised his hand and patted Asora Yoko's round buttocks wrapped in a kimono, and walked away with a lewd smile on his face.

Chaokong Yaoxing covered his hips with his hands, gritted his teeth and complained in a low voice: "This guy"

"Let's go up too." Jiang Yuanshen walked up to her and said.

Zhao Kong Yaoxing glanced at Naoko Takimitsu who turned his head with a teasing smile.

"Um"

The two passed through the torii of the shrine and came to the grounds of the shrine.

Stepping on the stone steps, the gaps between the stones were cleaned meticulously, without a single weed, and the blackness was deep.

Looking around, you can hear beautiful music, the crowd is like a noisy river, and the small stalls are sedimentary stones on the river bed.

From time to time, the sound of drum beating can be heard in the distance, overlapping with hairpins, clogs, and broken words, sometimes rising and sometimes drifting away.

"so many people"

Chaokong Yaoxing looked at the scene in front of her in astonishment, and the light from the lantern hanging on the wooden post was reflected on her face.

"A lot of them are not locals."

Jiang Yuanshen said so and looked around, and found that Shimizu Ken was checking out in front of a booth, and Takimitsu Naoko and Haruma Mami happily ate takoyaki, half a mouthful.

"Ah, it's so hot~~"

"Hahaha, eat slowly"

Both of them laughed, forget it, as long as you are happy, remember to save some for Shimizu Jian.

"Do you want to eat something?" Jiang Yuan Shen looked at Chaokong Yaoxing's cherry red side face and asked.

Chao Kong Yao Xing stared at the stall in front of him dazedly, and finally landed on a stall of apple candy, stepped on his clogs and walked over.

"It's candy apples—?"

Chao Kong Yao Xing stood in front of the booth, resting his small hand on his chin, and groped around the booth with his eyes.

"Yes, they are yellow apples from Gunma County!" The vendor responded loudly, afraid that Chao Kong Yaoxing would not be able to hear them.

"In this way, it feels so small."

“Small ones are delicious too!”

Chaokong Yaoxing patrolled the booth.

"Then please bring me a big one."

"There are already ready ones, take one away."

"how much is it?"

"Eight hundred yen."

Shaking Xing's fingers in the sky had already pinched the wooden lead inserted into the apple candy, and when he heard that it would cost [-] yen, he quickly withdrew his hand as if touching a frying pan.

"Excuse me, is it [-] yen?" She confirmed again.

"It's [-] yen, and it's a yellow apple from Gunma Prefecture!" the vendor yelled skillfully.

Chaokong Yaoxing's chin moved slightly, revealing his white teeth, a little hesitant.

However, soon a foreigner came over, bought two apple candies and paid the bill, so fast that she wondered if it was a trust from the merchant.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuanshen asked standing beside her.

The girl is like a pure white magnolia blooming in a flower field, only the faint light of the lantern casts light and shadow on her smooth and tender skin.

Chaokong Yaoxing pursed his lips, and the expression on his face was distressed visible to the naked eye.

"too expensive"

She smiled wryly, and took a step back in embarrassment.

"It's a yellow apple from Gunma County." The vendor glanced at Jiang Yuanshen.

The voice of Chao Kong shaking the apricots seemed to be separated by a layer of water, and he said in a daze: "Even if it is a yellow apple from Gunma County, it will cost [-] yen."

"Because they are yellow apples from Gunma Prefecture," said the vendor.

".sorry."

Chaokong Yaoxing was ashamed of being refuted by the vendor, and wanted to drag Jiang Yuanshen away.

Jiang Yuanshen stood on the spot, smiled and said to the vendor, "Then buy one."

"No, it's very expensive! You heard that it costs [-] yen! It's too different from outside!"

Chaokong Yaoxing raised his hand anxiously and pressed it on Jiang Yuanshen's arm.

"Because they are yellow apples from Gunma Prefecture," said the vendor.

"So I only bought one." Jiang Yuanshen said.

Chaokong Yaoxing looked at Jiang Yuanshen, his expression was the same as that of a merchant, smiling there.

Her cherry-like lips parted helplessly, and she sighed——

The apple candy at the stall outside only costs [-] yen, but here it costs [-] yen.

In festivals and other places, vendors usually sell more than twice as much as those outside, but even if they know that they have been slaughtered, they still choose to buy.

Could it be that this is something similar to a ceremony?

"Really, I told you not to buy it. You can buy fresh vegetables and fruits with the money you save. Besides, where are apples that are so expensive, even if they come from Gunma County? Are yellow apples delicious? ? Think about it carefully, we are at a loss, Jiang Yuan, did you listen to me carefully?"

Jiang Yuanshen ignored Chaokong Yaoxing's complaints, and handed her the apple candy he had already bought.

"Let's eat one, so we won't lose money."

The sweet smell rushes through the tip of the nose, the wind blows through the cuffs of the bathrobe, and the children run happily in front of them. The world is beautiful and terrifying.

Chaokong Yaoxing tightened his face all of a sudden, the dim light of the lantern spilled from between his fingers, and the silhouette of his delicate profile glistened in the light.

"it is good"

She blushed, muttered and lowered her head, covering the hair on her temples, casting a shadow on her face.

——He is really much prettier than when he was a child, all the boys around him are growing up, why is he the only one who is so good-looking?
The apple candy in front of her was like a delicate magic ball.

Tear open the transparent packaging bag and take a bite.

The sugar coating on the surface bursts, the stored sweetness blooms between the lips and tongue, and the yellow apple flesh in the mouth is rippling with a touch of sweetness.

Shaking Xing in the sky looked at the small gap on the apple candy, and said softly:
".The skin is quite crispy,"

"Because it's a yellow apple from Gunma County." Jiang Yuanshen said with a smile as if showing off.

Chaokong Yaoxing nodded quietly, his thick eyelashes swaying slightly, and handed the apple candy in his hand to Jiang Yuanshen.

"what happened?"

"I'll give you some yellow apples from Gunma Prefecture."

She smiled shyly, tilted her head slightly like a bird, and the water-colored nail polish on her fingertips was particularly conspicuous.

Jiang Yuanshen was not polite, took it directly, and took a bite on the other side, which was a circle bigger than her bite.

"Like candied haws."

"Yes, but this yellow apple is much tastier than the ones sold in the supermarket."

"But it still looks like candied haws."

"But its skin is very crispy, and the taste is very light."

"Close your eyes and you will be candied haws."

".What a disappointment."

The two took turns eating big candy apples and walking around the shrine grounds.

Until Jiang Yuanshen took a bite, he felt something was wrong.

"Wait what is this? A bug!"

"Haha, the part you ate was defective!"

"What the hell? Is this the head?!"

"It's protein that can replenish energy!"

◇

Crunchy shrimp, crunchy squid, vegetable salad with mayonnaise and olive oil.
The vinegared rice carefully wrapped in a thin omelet is so delicious that you can hold your chest tightly
And fluffy conger eels, crushed chestnuts
The moment you bite down on the shiitake, the delicious soup bursts in your mouth
Unknowingly, Jiang Yuanshen and Chaokong Yaoxing seriously ate the food at the festival.

Because it is more than twice as expensive as before, but they want to eat now, they usually buy one if they can eat together.

When I was young, I didn't dare to ask the store for an extra pair of chopsticks, but now I dare to ask for an extra pair of chopsticks.

"How's the shaved ice here?"

"Too sweet for me."

"Then you still eat?"

"All the money is spent, of course we have to eat it all."

The two walked along the rows of stalls, her piercing eyes swept away Jiang Yuanshen's anxiety in the past few days, and the dim light carried by the supple skin cast a halo around her.

"Shall we go play and fish for goldfish?" Chaokong Yaoxing said with a smile.

Jiang Yuanshen said: "Okay, but if you catch it, you have to take care of it."

"it is good!"

I paid [-] yen to the owner of the stall and got four fishing nets.

Chaokong Yaoxing squatted sideways, rolled up the sleeves of the bathrobe, and the thin water film in his eyes flickered under the light reflected by the water.

"But I probably won't be able to catch it."

She whispered, and carefully put the net as thin as a cicada's wing into the water, holding her breath, as if she was afraid that her breathing would disturb the goldfish.

Jiang Yuan Shen lowered his head and looked towards Chaokong Yaoxing. The lines of the jade body wrapped in the bathrobe were awe-inspiring. From the neck all the way down the back, there was a round and attractive buttocks curve.

——It's really growing more and more juicy. When she left, she was still a thin bamboo pole.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuanshen showed a playful smile on his face, squatted down and said in a low voice:

"Chao Kong, when did your butt become peach-shaped?"

"--Eh??!!"

The mischievous words in his ears made Chaokong Yaoxing's whole body tremble, and the net submerged in the water made waves, and the goldfish that were quietly moving in the basin scattered away, and some directly smashed through the fishing net in the water.

"You, you, what did you say???" Chaokong Yaoxing's ears were red, and his face was as red as a newly bloomed red rose.

Jiang Yuanshen looked at the broken net and said with a bitter face, "It's over, the 150 yen is gone."

"Yes, is it your problem? It's not my fault!" Chaokong Yaoxing stood up, spreading her hands to cover her buttocks wrapped in kimono.

"Your skills are really bad." Jiang Yuanshen laughed at her.

"That's why I haven't fished it for a long time." Chaokong Yaoxing pouted extremely unhappily.

"But your technique was poor before."

"Don't talk about things that have been going on for so long!"

The girl was so angry that her eyebrows were angry, she squatted down again, raised her eyebrows and gave him a blushing look deliberately, as if to warn him not to disturb his mind.

Jiang Yuan was silent, and ten seconds later, her net broke again.

"There are skills in catching goldfish. Look at this net. The paper is glued to the surface so it is not easy to break."

Jiang Yuanshen squatted down and took out his fishing net.

His gaze locked on a Ryukin with elegant tail fins and a graceful swimming posture.

"Hold the bowl in your left hand and wait. Put the net into the water at an angle. When the position is almost the same, immediately pick up the fish."

As long as the skills are in place, it is not difficult to fish out goldfish.

In a blink of an eye, there was a strip of red colored gold in Jiang Yuanshen's bowl.

Chaokong Yaoxing's eyes showed childlike innocence, she looked at Ryujin wandering in the bowl, and expressed her sincere emotion:

"Jiang Yuan, you are so good at catching fish, do you often go into the sea in Tokyo?"

"I'm just fishing for a little goldfish for a festival. What does this have to do with going into the sea?"

"I'll try too."

Chaokong Yaoxing picked up the fishing net again, and started fishing for goldfish according to what Jiang Yuanshen said.

Using the same skills as him, he got a red colored gold that was about the same size.

"My God! I'm so strong!"

The light of the lantern illuminated Chaokong Yaoxing's innocent face.

At just the right time, the crisp sound of drums and bamboo sticks beating came, and people walking around the booth couldn't help but stop.

Someone immediately took out their mobile phone and turned on the camera mode. The child murmured on his waist, wanting to ride on the parent's neck to watch.

Jiang Yuanshen stood up and found a team of men in short blouses pacing forward carrying bamboo poles shaped like ears of rice.

On each bamboo pole with a height of six meters, no less than thirty unlit sky lanterns are hung.

As soon as they appeared, the entire shrine was suddenly filled with a heavy atmosphere, but only among the islanders.

"We are at Zhiniao Shrine in Zhidiao Island. What you are seeing now is Zhidiao Island's annual lantern festival, which is also the most fascinating place for tourists."

"As far as I know, each bamboo pole plus a sky lantern can weigh up to 30 kilograms. If you don't have certain skills and strength, you can't take up the position of a pole hand."

"The queen will light the sky lanterns at the booth in Zhiniao Shrine. Judging from the current scene, there are no less than 25 wooden poles. It is estimated that there will be about 750 sky lanterns flying."

"Each sky lantern is written with the names of those who died in the earthquake, so in the eyes of Zhiniao Island residents, each sky lantern is unique."

"Of course, the most noticeable one is the empress who has caused great controversy. According to reports, she is the most beautiful girl on the island. It is rumored that the empress is everything in Zhiniao Island. She can manipulate life and death, time, and allow people to travel to the past and future"

"Although we couldn't get close, the clergy allowed tourists to watch her flying sky lanterns on the terrace"

"Our admission is free, but there are also close-up paid viewing seats. The price of each seat is as high as [-] yen, but many people want to see the queen's face up close. If you think about it, [-] yen is really a bargain. value."

At this time, the reporters who had enough food, drink, and fun at the booth began to work in a hurry. The master who was carrying the camera was particularly conspicuous among the group of kimonos, still chewing food in his mouth.

Jiang Yuanshen froze in place suddenly, his brain seemed to be sprayed with a layer of oil stains that could not be wiped off, and the overly complex emotions flowed in recklessly, making people dizzy.

His sister, Jiangyuan Kyoko's lantern was also on the bamboo pole.

But which one is it?With so many sky lanterns, can you see them when they fly under the deep moon in the tranquil sea?
The procession passed by—

"Father?"

At this time, Jiang Yuanshen heard whispers in his ears like a dream.

It was a sound that could be stolen by the wind if you were not careful.

Chaokong Yaoxing was stunned, staring at the procession with her eyes wide open. What she was holding in her hand were two goldfish swimming in a transparent bag.

She looked very strange, Jiang Yuanshen's eyes were searching in the immediate team.

Soon, a thin-looking figure was found in the middle of the team.

Asora Masamune was wearing a short white blouse, and was holding the bamboo pole tightly with his hands and arms, walking forward step by step, his movements were quite clumsy compared to others.

He is about 1.7 meters tall, but under the towering bamboo poles and thirty sky lanterns, he looks so short and weak.

"Why." Chaokong Yaoxing's eyes flashed a trace of panic, "Why are you doing this kind of thing now? Why?"

　To say one thing, it is very difficult for me to update 4K every day, but I still try my best to write well and meet the requirements in my heart.
