The space boss's daily life of raising cubs, loving husbands and farming

Chapter 225 Farewell

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, people watch the moon and eat crabs.

A cup of chrysanthemum wine and two taels of crab meat.

Under the big tree hung with lanterns, there was a sumptuous meal on the table. The family ate and talked, occasionally looking up at the bright full moon in the night sky.

Yuanyuan sat on her mother's lap, holding a crab leg in her little hand. She squinted her eyes and poked the middle with chopsticks. A piece of tender crab meat was pushed out by the force.

"Next." Yuanyuan raised her little hand and put the peeled crab leg meat close to Shang Wan's mouth.

Shang Wan lowered his head and took it into his mouth, then kissed the little hand.

Yuanyuan grinned and lowered her head to continue peeling the crab.

Although his hands are short, they are flexible, and with the strength of a supernatural being, it is easy for him to crack open the crab.

"Let's go release river lanterns." Chu Xu couldn't sit still and suggested while grabbing half a lotus seed mooncake.

Everyone had almost finished eating, so some took lanterns, some took river lanterns, and they went to the river together.

The moonlight tonight is exceptionally bright, casting a silver glow. Even without a lantern, you can see the road clearly.

They met many villagers on the way, some holding torches, and some, like Shang Wan and his friends, holding lanterns in their hands.

Everyone had a smile on their face, and the children were the most excited. They skipped around the adults and held their lotus lanterns in their arms like treasures.

The village has the custom of releasing river lanterns and praying for blessings during the Mid-Autumn Festival. In previous years, they would also offer sacrifices to the river god on this day, praying for a smooth year and no floods.

This year, without the village chief organizing the event, the only activity left is releasing river lanterns.

Everyone greeted each other as they walked towards the river. When they arrived at the river, there were already many lotus lanterns floating in the river, with a few rabbit lanterns and some small boat-shaped lanterns here and there, which looked childish and cute.

Shang Wan and his group walked downstream for a while, where there were fewer people and it was more convenient to light lanterns.

Shitou unfolded the lotus lanterns one by one, took out a tinderbox, and lit them one by one.

Star-like flames lit up from the center of the lotus lamp, illuminating the small words written inside.

The characters may be elegant, rigid or childish.

The river surface was slightly rippling, and lanterns carrying wishes were drifting down the river.

The night wind blew, making the lanterns in the river spin.

Shang Wan narrowed his eyes and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

A dot of fluorescence flew past his eyes. Shang Wan turned his head and looked, his eyes slowly widened.

I saw flocks of fireflies flying out from the reed marsh, with their fluorescent light forming patches and flickering slightly, as if the galaxy had turned upside down and fell all over the world.

Some children jumped up excitedly, "Mom, look!"

"Grandpa, there are so many glowing bugs!"

“Wow, it’s beautiful!”

Everyone by the river was stunned, their eyes following the fluorescent light, and suddenly they stopped.

Rabbit...rabbit?

I saw the flying fireflies slowly forming a huge rabbit head in mid-air, with two big teeth, which looked very ferocious.

Before everyone could react, they saw the rabbit's head turning into a dog's head.

Its mouth is pointed and it looks a bit like a wolf.

Shang Wan's eyes twitched and he looked down at the baby in his arms.

The little baby's big round eyes were shining brightly, and it was obvious that the fireflies that suddenly appeared were her masterpiece.

Seeing the fireflies forming a deer, Shang Wan felt that if this continued, it would be regarded as a miracle or a good omen, so he quickly called out, "Good boy."

Yuanyuan looked up at her, a strange light flashing across her eyes.

Shang Wan pointed at the fireflies and whispered, "Let's go home and play."

Yuanyuan blinked, and the bright light in her eyes gradually faded.

The fireflies that had just formed a group of flying birds suddenly scattered, turned into points of light, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the reed marsh.

"Why is it gone?"

"I haven't seen enough."

"The river god must have heard our prayers and appeared."

“But there is no sacrifice this year.”

“There will definitely be no flood next year!”

While the villagers were talking, Shang Wan and his group had quietly left the crowd and went home.

When there was no one around, Chu Xu asked quietly, "Did Yuanyuan do it?"

Shang Wan and others did not answer, but not refuting was a disguised admission.

Chu Xu immediately looked at Yuanyuan with envy and admiration. What a magical ability, so amazing!

"Anian, can you promise Aunt Shang one thing?"

Chu Xu blinked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

"Don't tell others about Yuanyuan's abilities."

"Why?" Chu Xu felt that this ability was super magical, and if he told others about it, others would envy Yuanyuan.

Shang Wan said: "What will happen if a child carries a huge fortune in a busy city?"

Chu Xu had learned this before and replied, "It will be robbed."

Shang Wan nodded and pointed at Yuanyuan.

Chu Xu looked at Shang Wan and then at Yuanyuan. His cat-like eyes turned and his clever little head immediately understood.

Yuanyuan is a daughter of a rich family. If you tell anyone about it, she will be robbed.

He also wanted to wait until Yuanyuan grew up and then persuade her to become a female general, so that she wouldn't be snatched away by someone else.

Thinking of this, the child nodded seriously and promised, "I promise I won't even tell my brother."

"Thank you." Shang Wan reached out and rubbed the child's head.

Chu Xu chuckled, reached out to hug Yuanyuan, and ran forward.

He wanted to say goodbye to Yuanyuan again and ask her when she wanted to become a general.

late at night.

"Uncle Lu, can I come in?" Chu Xu knocked on the half-open study door.

"Enter."

Chu Xu pushed the door open and went in, "Uncle Lu, I have something to tell you."

The child had a serious expression, as if he was about to say something important.

Lu Chengjing put down the book and nodded to him, "Sit down and talk."

"No need to sit down. Aunt Shang will take me into the city later." Chu Xu trotted to Lu Chengjing's side and stood still, looking up at him seriously.

Lu Chengjing was confused by his look, "What do you want to say?"

"Uncle Lu, you will definitely pass the imperial examination, right?"

Lu Chengjing: “???”

Chu Xu looked at him eagerly, blinking his cat-like eyes, insisting that Lu Chengjing give an answer.

It could vary by tens of millions, how could Lu Chengjing be sure?

"Actually, I would rather go to Beijing with you guys." Chu Xu pouted, "But my brother told me to go with that guy named Zhong."

Lu Chengjing saw that the child was a little worried, and said gently: "He will protect you."

"I don't like him." Chu Xu wrinkled his nose, "He is not a good person."

Lu Chengjing: "You don't have to like him, you can treat him as a guard."

"How can there be such a guard?" Chu Xu pouted, not knowing what he was thinking, and muttered, "I'm not afraid of him."

He looked up at Lu Chengjing again, with a little expectation, "Uncle Lu, come with me, I will open a spiritual medicine pavilion for you in the capital, okay?"

Lu Chengjing: “…”

He shook his head and reached out to rub the child's head.

Chu Xu sighed, "The shop in the capital is very valuable, why don't you and Aunt Shang want to do it?"

The child lowered his head in disappointment. He was very happy in the Lu family and was reluctant to part with everyone.

"See you later." Lu Chengjing still comforted the child.

Chu Xu sniffed and looked up at him, "Promise."

Facing those watery cat eyes, Lu Chengjing nodded gently, "Okay, I promise."

Chu Xu tried to hold back, but still couldn't help but have red eyes, tears that couldn't be hidden even by a flower bag.

"I'll wait for you in the capital!"

The child reached out and quickly hugged Lu Chengjing, then turned and ran out of the study.
