Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 480: Putting out lanterns

People in Qingyou Town have a habit of buying lanterns on the street and then going to Nancheng River to put them out.

 So on this day, not only the streets were lively, but the Nancheng River was also very lively.

 When Gu Panxia, ​​Gu Pandong, and Lu Yuan arrived at Nancheng River, the lakeside was already overcrowded.

Gu Pandong took Gu Panxia's hand and asked curiously: "Sister, what are they doing?"

Gu Panxia patted the back of his hand and said, "They are setting off lanterns to make wishes."

Gu Pandong tilted his head and asked in confusion: "What is making a wish?"

“To make a wish, we just light up the lanterns, put them into the river, recite our wishes silently in our hearts, and let the lanterns carry our wishes into the distance.”

 “Sister, what is a wish?”

 The corners of Gu Panxia's mouth twitched slightly, "Okay!" Children are very curious, so she should answer patiently.

“A wish is something you want in your heart. For example, my sister hopes that we can grow up safely in the winter. This is a wish.”

"oh!"

Gu Pandong nodded in understanding.

Gu Panxia gently rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's find a place to put the lanterns."

Hearing this, Gu Pandong unconsciously hugged the lantern in his arms tightly, "Sister, can I not let it go?"

 Gu Panxia raised her eyebrows, "Why?"

“Sister, this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful lantern, and I don’t want to let it go!”

 Gu Panxia was dumbfounded when she heard this, "Okay, if Pandong doesn't want to let her go, we won't let her go."

She looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Find a quieter place. Let's go back after setting off the lanterns."

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Tonight, if there is a place where the Nancheng River is the quietest, it must be the lower reaches."

 “Downstream?” Gu Panxia frowned.

She has never been to the lower reaches of the Nancheng River, but if she wants to go there, she must take a boat.

“Well, it’s downstream, but it may take a while to get there.”

Glan Panxia thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head and said, "Then let's just find a place to put the lanterns."

She felt that there was no need to run downstream to put out lanterns. It was already late at night and it seemed unsafe to go downstream at this time.

She pointed to a small clearing not far away and said, "Let's go over there."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, and the three of them walked towards that area.

 “Uh... Oops, I forgot to get the fire folding piece!”

 Gu Panxia placed the lantern on the ground and was about to light it when she realized that she didn’t bring the lantern.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and took out the prepared fire dumplings, "I knew you weren't prepared."

Gu Panxia pursed her lips and smiled. She took the fire seal and said with a smile, "You still have the foresight."

She lit the lotus lantern and put it into the river. The wind slowly blew the lantern into the center of the river.

 Because the lantern was huge in size, it was very eye-catching on the lake, almost outshining the lanterns next to it.

Lu Yuan lowered his eyes, looked at Gu Pandong and raised his eyebrows: "Pandong, are you really not going to let me go?"

 Gu Pandong shook his head, "Don't let go!"

Gu Panxia smiled and said, "That's all, let him take it back as a souvenir."

 In the past, I didn’t even have enough to eat. Let alone buy a lantern, I had never even seen it. It’s no wonder that I couldn’t bear to part with the lantern because I was looking forward to the winter party.

On the way back, Lu Yuan said: "We will leave for Phantom City in a few days. Have you made it clear to your uncle and aunt?"

Gu Panxia shook his head slightly, "I haven't said it yet."

Gu Dahai and Zhou just came back not long ago, and she was leaving again. She was afraid that they would worry, so she didn't know how to tell them yet.
