Time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was already night.
There were lights on in the house where Wu and Han Cheng lived together.
The witch, who had already done his best to pray to the gods and was almost exhausted, put on the feather crown again, picked up the bone staff on the table, and kept dancing in the room, muttering to himself.
He prayed here in his own way, hoping that the gods who had never paid any attention to him would be able to hear his voice this time and give some pleasing response.
He didn't know how long he had been doing this.
His clothes were soaked with sweat, and while he was dancing, beads of sweat would occasionally drip down his cheeks.
During this process, his breathing became heavy and rapid, and he was completely exhausted.
But he did not stop and continued to do this.
The oldest person in the tribe, who has always been concerned about the entire tribe, really doesn't want Liang to die.
He is doing this in his own way and to the best of his ability.
If you want Liang to get better, don't let anything that makes you extremely sad or upset happen.
In the room with lights on and totem poles placed, only the witch was dancing here. There was no sign of Stone, the future witch of the tribe.
Shitou did not participate in this prayer. As a future witch in the tribe who was greatly influenced by the time traveler Han Cheng, Shitou was busy with his own things.
Many people gathered on the square between the outer courtyards of the Qingque tribe.
There are also many torches lit.
The burning flames danced, illuminating the stone faces.
Next to the stone stood a half-grown child holding a Kongming lantern in both hands.
He held the upper part of the Kongming lantern in his hands, and the fuel was hanging from the lower part of the Kongming lantern.
Shitou held the torch in one hand and placed it above the fuel under the Kongming lantern.
The fuel, which was a mixture of linen, grease and other things, burned quickly and soon turned into a fireball.
The flames flickered and sent some hot air with black smoke into the open Kongming lantern.
As these air currents rose, the originally deflated Kongming lantern instantly became full.
"Let go of your hands."
After waiting for a while, Shi Tou, who had plenty of experience in flying Kongming lanterns, said this to the child holding the Kongming lantern.
Upon hearing this, the child slowly let go.
After he let go of his hand, the Kongming lantern floated in the air.
After staying in the air for a while, swaying slightly, it began to slowly rise into the air.
"Let's all start ordering."
After watching the Kongming lantern rise into the sky, Shitou walked to the front of another child holding a Kongming lantern. Then he put the torch in his hand towards the fuel under the Kongming lantern in the child's hand and spoke to the person next to him.
After he opened his mouth, those who were waiting here began to take action.
For a moment, the place was full of flashing flames, and after a moment, sky lanterns began to rise into the sky one after another from Qingque Square.
There were only a few at the beginning, but after a while, the number of lanterns flying into the sky suddenly increased.
He released five stones of Kongming lanterns in a row, extinguished the torch in his hand on the ground, looked up at the Kongming lanterns rising into the sky, his heart filled with good wishes.
The sky lanterns slowly rose in the night sky, high and low, forming a wide line.
They continued to rise into the sky and fly away to other places, and finally the outlines of the lights disappeared in the night sky, leaving only pinpoint lights that merged with the stars in the night sky.
The square of the Qingque tribe was filled with people with their faces looking up.
Some of these faces are childish, some are weathered, and some are full of traces of time.
Some have big faces, some have small faces, some have round faces, some have square faces...
Although each face is different and has its own merits, the expressions on these faces are the same at this moment - full of piety and hope!
These sky lanterns that fly into the night sky and blend into the myriad stars carry their beautiful and sincere wishes.
They hope that this method can help Liang, who was poisoned during drug testing, recover quickly.
Shi Tou heard about flying Kongming lanterns to make wishes from Han Cheng during an unintentional chat some time ago.
Han Cheng just said it casually at the time, and Shi Tou also listened to it casually and didn't take it too seriously.
But in this critical moment when there is no other way out, Shi Tou immediately regarded it as a life-saving straw after he remembered it.
Although the Son of God had said before that this could only be a human wish, the effect it could have was similar to making a wish at a shooting star.
But at this time, people still poured many wishes into it.
The best Kongming lantern made in the tribe is the stone that always wants to fly to the sky.
The students taught by him naturally participated in this matter a lot, so their skills are also quite good.
According to the number of people who participated before, even with the participation of these children, it would not be possible to make so many Kongming lanterns.
However, as more and more people heard the news and came to join in, everything started to change.
Especially after hearing what the Son of God who went to Jinguan City in the south had said, more people became involved in this matter.
In the Qingque tribe, Han Dashenzi possesses such great charm.
The Kongming lanterns carrying people’s good wishes flew into the night sky, gradually disappeared, and completely merged into the night sky.
In the room where the totem pole was placed, the elderly witch, whose clothes had long been soaked with sweat, finally stopped his prayers again and gasped for breath, looking almost exhausted.
Yuan walked in, supported Wu with heartache and worry, and handed Wu a bowl of water at just the right temperature for Wu to drink.
Wu stayed for a while, and after catching his breath, he stood up from the stool.
Yuan, who had already completely integrated into the Qingque tribe and had become more and more considerate, saw this and hurriedly supported Wu again, preparing to help him into the room.
That is their bedroom.
She wanted Wu to have a good rest.
But Wu shook his head, said nothing, and motioned Yuan to go outside with him.
Two people who live together for a long time will always have a lot of tacit understanding between each other.
For example, the old couple Wu and Yuan.
Wu just gave her a simple gesture, and she already knew what Wu wanted to do.
Wu must want to go and see if Liang, who was poisoned, has gotten better!
She wanted to say something to dissuade the witch from this idea, but after opening her mouth, she closed it again.
In the end, she didn't say this.
Having lived together for such a long time, she knew clearly what kind of character this old man who always liked to beg for mercy from her at night had, especially when it came to things closely related to the tribe.
So, she followed Wu without saying a word and walked out the door...
In the room where Liang was, Liang was still lying quietly on the bed, looking no different from before.
The witch personally fed him some water, but still nothing went in.
Wu sat on the stool at the head of Liang's bed, supporting his forehead with his hand, without saying a word.
As the night deepened, Wu put his hands on his knees and stood up from the stool.
"Everyone go to sleep. Just leave two people here to take care of us. We can't stay here all the time. There are still many things to do in the tribe..."
After Wu stood up, he looked at everyone in the room and said this.
Then he took a step and walked out the door first.
Yuan, who was also accompanying Wu in the room, stood up quickly when he saw this, took two quick steps to catch up with Wu, and walked together with Wu holding his hand.
After Wu left, the people who had been accompanying him in the room began to leave one after another.
Zhuang wanted to replace Liang's spouse who stayed here and let her have a good rest.
But Liang's spouse refused, saying that he had no problems and was not tired, but just wanted to stay with Liang for a while longer.
After a while, there were finally three people left in the room.
One is Liang’s spouse, one is Zhuang, and the other is Shitou, the next witch in the tribe.
Shitou stayed here, on the one hand, because he felt that if he was not here, the room would be full of women, and if something really happened, they might not be able to handle it.
Although Zhuang is much stronger than him.
On the other hand, I just want to stay here and see Liang wake up, and see if the wish made with the Kongming lantern is effective.
Time passed little by little, and the night became darker.
Liang's wife couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep on the edge of the kang without knowing when.
The same is true for Zhuang.
The stone on one side was also taking a nap.
There was a dim oil lamp shining in the room.
I don't know if it was because of the flickering flame of the oil lamp or if I was just hallucinating, but Liang, who had been lying motionless under the quilt, seemed to tremble in a trance.
After a while, Liang, who was lying there quietly, slowly opened his closed eyes.
His eyes were blank and staring straight ahead. After blinking twice, he still looked like that.
After a while, he slowly turned his head and looked to the side, and saw his spouse and Zhuang sleeping on the edge of the bed.
Liang, who was already a little confused, became even more confused.
Why is your spouse not sleeping on the kang, but sitting here and falling asleep on the edge of the kang?
Thinking this in my mind, I was about to wake them up and let them come to the bed to sleep.
It was at this moment that Liang, who was drowsy, suddenly woke up!
When did I have two spouses?!
Haven't I only had one spouse?
How did it become two?
When did this happen?
Having one spouse is exhausting. The body is always exhausted and there is always a feeling of being drained. Now there is another spouse out of nowhere?!
Oh my God! Is this going to allow people to live?!
After realizing what happened, Liang suddenly panicked.
For a moment, I felt like thunder was rolling in the sky, and suddenly I felt that my whole life had lost its color and became gray.
At the same time, my waist began to ache slightly.
This is really terrible!
After being frightened for a while, Liang decided to wake up the spouses who had inexplicably become two, in order to face this terrible reality and make the storm more violent and realistic.
As he thought this, he began to support himself on the bed and stood up.
My whole body was so weak that it was difficult for me to just move.
This feeling almost made Liang cry.
That’s right, I really didn’t know when I got a spouse!
Otherwise, I wouldn't be so tired!
There is really no way to live in the days after this...
Liang felt unwell all over.
Both of them who were sleeping on the bed woke up, including Shi Tou who was dozing in the corner behind the door.
This was certainly not because Liang woke them up, but because the noise of Liang getting up from the bed woke up Liang's spouse.
After Liang's spouse woke up, he saw Liang sitting on the bedside without knowing when. He couldn't help but shudder all over and became awake instantly.
Then he couldn't help but howl and rushed out the door.
He took two steps before seeming to remember something. He quickly stopped, turned around, and looked at the bed in the dim light of the oil lamp.
Then he howled again, rushed to the edge of the kang, and looked at Liang sitting at the head of the bed with surprise and disbelief.
With her operation, it would be strange if the other two people in the room didn't wake up!
Zhuang, who was sleeping soundly, jumped up from his seat in fright. Liang, who was dozing off in the corner near the door, suddenly shook his body and fell to the ground.
After falling to the ground, he wanted to get up quickly, but after subconsciously looking up at Liang's bed, he suddenly forgot about getting up and his face was immediately filled with smiles.
Liang, who was sitting on the bed, also had a smile on his face.
This was not because he had saved his life, but because he saw clearly the face of another woman in the room.
After recognizing who the other person sleeping on the edge of the kang was, Liang's heart was suddenly at ease.
Fortunately, the thing I was most worried about did not happen.
If you really end up with a spouse without realizing it, that would be really terrifying!
Feeling thankful in his heart, Liang, who had relieved his greatest fear, gradually recalled what had happened before...
