Chapter 126 Giving a Scented Sachet



Because the cannons make a loud explosion, they are placed at the very back to avoid attracting attention, giving them time to evacuate.

So, the first ones brought out were toy-type fireworks.

Ji Minxiu bought more than ten items this time, all of which are currently popular styles.

The first one brought out was the Dream Jellyfish.

He prepared two for each person, arranged them, and then said to everyone, "I'll count to three, everyone light them together, and then quickly evacuate."

"good."

The old lady of Lianyun divided the incense into two, holding lit incense sticks in her hands, and was so nervous that she was sweating.

"Okay, one, two, three, tap!"

Ji Minxiu quickly gave the order, and everyone started working at once.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

As the fuse was lit, the group quickly jogged to create some distance between them.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Then, countless firework clusters, composed of red, yellow, blue, green and other colors, rapidly spun and rose into the sky from the ground.

Different colored rings, with golden sparks shooting from the top, spread outwards.

When the fireworks burst into bloom, their dynamic lines and ever-changing colors resemble a group of jellyfish leaping from the seabed and soaring through the night sky, a scene both dreamlike and enchanting.

This scene left everyone stunned.

"Lord Snow Demon, were these fireworks made with sorcery?" Yun Mingyuan asked excitedly after the fireworks had completely died down.

"No, it's because a special technique was used. If you're interested, I'll explain it to you in detail later."

Ji Minxiu didn't give a perfunctory answer. After explaining, he continued, "Now let's focus on having fun and set off the other fireworks."

After that, there were love trees, colorful mushrooms, peacock kings, "Wishing you prosperity" decorations, windmills, and so on, all of which were very beautiful and truly broadened their horizons.

The look of amazement on his face never faded.

"The last one is something you hold in your hand and play with; it's called a fairy wand."

Ji Minxiu handed out several boxes to everyone, giving Yun Zhourong a box first, saying, "This way, if you put two together and they touch, they can ignite each other."

The blooming silver light, like pale stars falling before my eyes, illuminates the small space in my heart, allowing beautiful feelings to quietly grow.

"So beautiful..."

Yun Zhourong's eyes sparkled as she looked at the shimmering fireworks in her hand and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Ji Minxiu looked down at the little girl's face, which flickered in and out of the firelight, his eyes filled with dazzling tenderness.

"Wow, Mom and Dad, I actually held the stars in my hands!"

"The stars are flying!"

"Haha, the stars are chasing me!"

"..."

Meanwhile, three children, waving sparklers, ran and chased each other, drawing dazzling trails in the night.

The laughter and cheerful voices made the adults temporarily forget their troubles and feel happy as well.

After the children had finished playing, Ji Minxiu brought out the final, grand finale.

"This is called a salute. The fireworks effects are different from what we've seen before, and it's accompanied by explosions, so we'll leave after we set it off."

As Ji Minxiu spoke, he arranged all the cannons and had everyone light them together.

"Let's go."

After that, he led everyone to quickly evacuate.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

"Bang... bang... bang..."

The group hadn't gone far when a huge explosion came from behind them.

Then, countless colorful fireworks shot into the sky and exploded in the dark.

Large, dazzling sparks burst forth, crackling and popping like stars from the Milky Way falling to earth, piercing the thick darkness of the night and bringing New Year's blessings.

"So beautiful..."

As they looked up at the scenery, they slowly walked back, feeling as if they were in a fairyland, utterly overwhelmed by the beauty.

"Look at that! It's so beautiful!"

"Did...did stars fall from the sky?"

"Mom, I want to go pick up stars!"

"Wow, I didn't know stars had so many colors!"

"..."

The villagers in the surrounding villages were also drawn out by the commotion. When they saw this spectacular sight, they all stopped and looked up, unable to take their breath away.

The next day, the surrounding villages all received food from the snow demon, and this scene was regarded by the people as an auspicious sign.

It is said that this is a blessing specially sent by the Snow Demon, indicating that the cold disaster in the Great Sheng Dynasty will soon pass and good days will come.

The people became even more devout in their offerings.

Yun Zhourong and his group were naturally unaware of this. After delivering the grain, they excitedly returned to the post station.

"I never imagined that the food was really sent by the Snow Demon."

If Lan Jianhe had been somewhat skeptical before, now, witnessing Ji Minxiu effortlessly produce so much food, he had absolutely no doubts.

This kind of skill is simply beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.

"Yes, Lady Snow Demon is very capable."

As Yun Mingyuan spoke, he added with a lingering sense of enjoyment, "But those fireworks were really beautiful! Did the Snow Demon really grab the stars and throw them down?"

Ji Minxiu was amused by the child's rich imagination and shook his head with a smile, saying, "Of course not. Those are just modified fireworks. There are still many that haven't been set off. If you like them, have your sister bring them to you tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Snow Fairy!"

Yun Mingyuan immediately cheered happily and said, "In previous years, I felt that the time spent staying up late on New Year's Eve was the longest, but this year it went by so fast!"

"Yes, it's almost midnight now," several adults remarked with a sigh.

The fireworks were so novel that even the adults got a little carried away playing with them.

"It is indeed very late. You should all get some rest. I'll head back now," Ji Minxiu said, standing up.

"Lord Snow Demon, let me see you off," Yun Zhourong said quickly.

"Okay." Ji Minxiu nodded and walked downstairs with Yun Zhourong.

"Lord Snow Fairy, this is a sachet I embroidered. I wish you a joyful New Year."

Yun Zhourong hesitated for a moment, then took out a sachet and nervously handed it over, saying, "No... it's nothing valuable, I hope you like it."

Ji Minxiu reached out and took it. It was a sachet shaped like two koi fish, with scales made of gold thread. The details were exquisite, and it was a masterpiece of craftsmanship, showing the dedication of the maker.

The faint medicinal fragrance emanating from it lingered in his heart, and his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yun Zhourong assumed he didn't like it and couldn't help but say somewhat dejectedly, "I... my skills aren't very good, it's not very well made, if you don't like it... I..."

Unexpectedly, the next second she was tightly embraced by Ji Minxiu, whose mellow and slightly suppressed magnetic voice rang in her ears.

"I love it! This is the first New Year's gift I've ever received. I really love it, thank you!"

The man's warm body enveloped Yun Zhourong completely, causing her heart to pound uncontrollably.

Her hand involuntarily rose slowly and embraced Ji Minxiu's strong waist, whispering, "If Lady Snow Demon likes it... then that's good..."
