Chapter 2312 Dark Grilled Fish
As soon as Cagalli said this, not to mention the little lantern, even we outsiders couldn't help but be startled.
Little Lantern raised his head blankly, looked at Cagalli's clear and beautiful eyes, and suddenly spoke timidly: "You want to take me away?"
Cagalli nodded.
She thought that the little lantern would answer 'go' or 'no go', but unexpectedly, she curled her lips and burst into tears: "The little lantern still wants to find grandpa, and also wants to find Kong Kongyi. Please, don’t take the little lantern away and sell it!”
The cry was so sad that all of us couldn't help but feel ashamed.
After much persuasion and explanation, Little Lantern finally stopped crying. She curled her lips and stared at me seriously: "She, what she said is true? You just treat me as a child because you like me?" Do you want to take me home because you treat me like a friend, instead of selling me for money?"
I smiled bitterly and nodded: "That's it."
Almost at the same time, Kailan chuckled and said: "Selling you for money? Are you overthinking it? Xiaoyi is one of the richest people in the world today. The money from selling you is not enough for him to buy a Where’s the furniture!”
My heart tightened, and I was about to rebuke Kailan. Unexpectedly, the little lantern's big eyes widened, and he looked at Cagalli and asked, "Is this true?"
When Cagalli saw her asking about herself, she knew that this was an important step in building a good relationship with Little Lantern, so she didn't hide it at the moment and said frankly: "It's true."
The little lantern suddenly became happy, smiled from ear to ear, and said seriously: "I want to double my friend's meeting gift!"
The price starts from the ground up! This is it!
I screamed in my heart.
It is not difficult to bring the little lantern back, but it is not easy either. The main reason is that her fish tail must be kept moist at all times, otherwise she will get sick and even die after a long time.
In order to ensure her health and life safety, we searched for various containers, but those containers were either too small to fit the small lantern in, or too big to be moved around.
Finally, the maid girl found a metal can in the airship cargo hold.
The jar is made of blue steel and is inlaid with gold rims. It is usually used to store rice noodles. Now it is empty and can be used to hold the slender body of the little lantern.
With most of the jar filled with seawater, I picked up the small lantern at my waist and gently put it into it.
As soon as it was put into the jar, the little lantern twisted around restlessly. I asked her what was wrong, but she blushed and said to me sheepishly: "It's slippery inside. I'm not used to it."
"Do you feel uncomfortable?" Cagalli asked with concern.
"It's uncomfortable, but it's not uncomfortable." Little Lantern twisted his body: "It's just that if you don't pay attention, you will slip down."
As soon as she finished speaking, she slid completely into the tank.
I quickly got closer and saw her curled up in a ball, turning her face sideways, smiling at me, and blowing a bubble gently.
Seeing that she was fine, I breathed a sigh of relief and asked others for advice on how to bring the jar back.
As a result, everyone agreed that whoever found her (little lantern) would be responsible for taking her back.
ah! ah! What a bunch of cold-blooded guys!
Although the small lantern is very light, the jar is also very light, and seawater is not heavy, the weight of the small lantern plus the jar plus seawater is not light.
Holding the jar in my arms, I hurriedly hurried and slowly caught up with the team.
When we arrived at the place, Emily, Lulu and Lucy were roasting a blackened thing. To be frank, I really couldn’t tell what it was. I only knew that the smell it gave off was very unpleasant. friendly.
Putting down the jar, I pointed at the dark object and asked Emily, "This is..."
"Grilled fish" Emily said lightly.
"Oh! Is this grilled fish a little too long?"
Emily picked up the charred grilled fish, sniffed it twice, exchanged glances with Lulu and Lucy, and then said to me: "It took a while."
"This, this, this, do you still need to confirm?" I suddenly felt like I wanted to cry without tears.
Lulu, Lucy and Emily's attitude towards the little lantern was quite calm. They were neither excited nor nervous. They just chatted a few words about home affairs, then handed her the charred grilled fish and asked, "Do you want it?" eat?"
The little lantern shook its head like a rattle, firmly rejecting the kindness of the three of them.
Then, Emily handed the grilled fish to me again: "Want to eat it?"
I asked with a black thread: "Can this still be eaten?"
Emily nodded: "Probably."
After that, I was about to take a bite. Fortunately, I took action in time, grabbed the black grilled fish, and threw it away.
"My grilled fish." Emily looked at the charred grilled fish that was thrown into the grass hut and could no longer be found. She moved her eyes to me and said lightly: "I'll have to pay for one."
"Okay" I said nothing, rolled up my sleeves and started grilling the fish.
The fish had just been peeled off the scales and internal organs, and grilled on an iron skewer. Over there, Emily made a new request: "It must be exactly the same as the one you threw away."
"Stop dreaming," I refused sternly, "No way!"
I know Emily, and I know that she doesn't care about the burnt grilled fish, but she blames me for why she always brings back a pretty girl wherever she goes.
Although she didn't speak, she was jealous and had a dull personality, so she could only vent her dissatisfaction to me by going against me.
Although I can understand her mood, who can have the final say on love luck?
It can only be said that it was a coincidence.
Living on the island these days, everyone's life is very regular. They get up early and listen to the little lanterns telling stories about the mermaid tribe. Then they have a whole morning of leisure time, sleeping, chatting, and playing, until nothing happens in the evening. Now, continue to listen to the little lantern telling stories about the deep sea, and then go to sleep.
It can be said that everyone had a great time.
As for Little Lantern, she felt happy because she ate grilled fish. In her opinion, grilled fish was simply the most delicious food in the world.
On the last day of our stay on the island, we traveled all over the island. When we returned to the place where we first met the little lantern, we were surprised to find a half-rotten fish, which was emitting a stench and polluting the seaside air.
Isn't this the fish that introduced me to Little Lantern?
I said that when I went back that day, I forgot to take it back with me. As a result, it smelled and rotted. It was really miserable.
I silently recited "Amitabha" twice, buried it deeply with soil, and inserted a wooden stick, which was regarded as a monument to it.
After doing all this, we stopped at the beach and stayed up all night. After seeing the rising sun, we returned to the camp, packed up our things, boarded the airship, and had another day of carnival on the airship.
It wasn’t until the next morning that we officially set sail and returned to Moonlight City.
After returning to Moonlight City, before we could go to the pilgrimage, the two queens were already traveling together and visited my home.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the Fairy Queen stared at the blue steel water tank and asked me, "How is it? How was your trip?"
