The day passed slowly amid the joy and laughter of everyone making candles. In the evening, everyone had already made hundreds of candles.

"There are so many! So many candles, how nice!" Gu Li held a candle she made herself, feeling elated.

Ci Ye counts the number of candles lit, each house can be allocated two candles, each dormitory can be allocated less, and each dormitory can be allocated two candles, but to make the orcs use enough candles, more candles are needed Just do some.

"Let's end today. Let's make some emergency candles first. We will continue to do it in the next few days, so that everyone can use candles." Ci Ye said to everyone.

"Okay! Wu, we will definitely work hard to make candles!" The orcs responded one after another. Although they were very tired after a day of work, their love for candles was enough to turn into their enthusiasm for work.

"Okay!" Ci Ye smiled and nodded, "Let's go back first, pack up and go to the cafeteria to eat, and the bell will ring in the cafeteria later."

Every time the cafeteria arrives at the meal time and the meal is ready, the big stone bell at the door will be knocked, and the sound can be transmitted to the whole tribe.In this way, as soon as the orcs hear the bell, they know that the meal is ready and they can come to eat, so that they will not miss the meal time.

The stone clock was carved by Ci Ye with the help of the system and Hei Yao. It took a long time. The raw material is a large piece of bluestone. After molding, it is very simple and heavy, with a wild atmosphere.

Not only for eating, you can also ring the stone bell when encountering any major events, so that information can be transmitted and play an important role.

The orcs of the Howl Tribe love this quaint and special stone clock, but Ci Ye ordered that no one except the designated orcs should ring the stone bell, and the orcs can only look at the stone clock nearby.But for them, the unique shape of the stone clock and the exquisite cloud patterns carved on it are so eye-catching.

After eating and resting every day, there will always be a group of orcs squatting next to the stone clock, admiring and stroking it with their hands. It is self-evident that they cherish and love it.

After sending all the orcs out, Ci Ye asked Hei Yao to call a few people, move the candles to the cafeteria, and distribute them to the orcs.

The next day, Gu Li came over early in the morning.

"Witch! Candles are really useful!" Gu Li's eyes sparkled with little stars, and she said to Ci Ye excitedly, "I played chess with my father last night, and I could see it clearly when I lit the candles. It has a faint fragrance, and I even put candles by my bed at night!"

Candles made of lacquer fruit not only have no smoke when burned, but also have a faint fruity fragrance, which is a rare boutique.

"Hmm! Candles are very useful things, and we're going to make more candles today." Ci Ye curled up his mouth and touched Gu Li's head with a smile.

"But the wind can easily blow out the candle, and once the candle is extinguished, it has to be relit..." Gu Li lowered her head in frustration and muttered softly.

"Then let's make lanterns." Ci Ye seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up.

"Lantern?" Gu Li raised her head and looked at Ci Ye suspiciously.

"That's right, the lantern is to put a cover on the candle, so that the wind will be kept out by the cover, so that the candle will not be blown out. There is also a handle on the lantern, so that you can carry it in your hand." Ci Yexiang Gu Li explains what a lantern is.

"Great! Then let's make lanterns!" Gu Li immediately became excited after hearing this, and really wanted to see what the lanterns looked like.

"Okay!" Ci Ye said with a smile: "You wait for me here first, and I'll go to the house to get some materials."

"Okay!" Gu Li nodded excitedly, and obediently sat on the chair.

Ci Ye walked into the bedroom, opened the system panel, and found the [Lantern] option in the [Lighting] column.

The lanterns in the system are made of beeswax, twigs and papyrus, and there are many styles: classic lanterns, spring flowers, revolving lanterns, full moons, and lotus cups.

Ci Ye looked at these antique lanterns, and remembered that when he was playing games, he also liked these lanterns like Gu Li. He always put a lot of lanterns in the base, so that he could take them whenever he wanted, which was very convenient. .

Make all these lanterns!Ci Ye showed nostalgia, took out some bamboo chips from the storage room, found some thin animal skins suitable for replacing papyrus paper from the cabinet, took out some paints and brushes for coloring pottery, hugged Went out in his arms.

"Witch!" All the orcs who helped make the candles came and greeted Ci Ye one after another. Some orcs even brought new ones over.

"Witch! These are the orcs who voluntarily came to help. After they used the candles yesterday, they all asked to come and help today." Feng Ka explained to Ci Ye.

"Okay!" Ci Ye nodded in satisfaction. Of course, the more people working, the better.

"Wow! We used candles last night, and we can see things clearly at night. It's so convenient! With candles, we don't need to light a fire in the future!" A young baby-faced orc said excitedly. Candles are full of praise.

Ci Ye showed a bright smile. Seeing how helpful the candles were to the orcs, he felt joy and satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.

"Today we will not only make candles, but also learn to make lanterns. We will make a batch of candles later, and I will teach you how to make lanterns after we finish." Ci Ye looked at the orcs sitting in the room and said to They explain the purpose of the lantern.

"Okay! Wu! We must study hard!" After hearing Ci Ye's explanation, the orcs were also very excited.I didn't expect to learn something new today. Lanterns are so useful, so I must learn how to make them.

"Then let's get started!" Seeing the high spirits of the orcs, Ci Ye nodded happily, and then began to assign tasks to them.

"The first step in making a lantern is to make the skeleton..." Ci Ye took a few bamboo pieces and bent them to form a cube or cylinder, explaining to the orcs while doing it.

Make a rough structure, fix the joints with thin wires, and the skeleton of the lantern is done. ,

Next, make the lamp body. Use a stone knife to cut the light-transmitting thin animal skin to fit the length and width of the lantern skeleton, and then draw your favorite patterns on it. After painting, paste the lamp body on the skeleton with snow glue.

After pasting, you can also use narrow strips of animal skin leftovers to border up and down, which looks more elegant, much like the ancient palace lanterns on earth.

After the lantern is finished, put a handle on it, and then put the lighted candles in, and a delicate and beautiful lantern is ready.

The candlelight shines faintly through the dyed red lamp body and the cut-out pattern, which looks very beautiful.

The orcs looked at the elegant and beautiful lantern in Ci Ye's hand, their eyes widened in surprise, and they exclaimed excitedly.

"This is so beautiful!" Gu Li stared blankly at the lantern in Ci Ye's hand, and couldn't help but speak.

Ci Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry, the fun is yet to come."

Ci Ye opened the door, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in, extinguishing all the candles used for lighting in the room.

Everyone took a closer look, only to find that the lantern in Ci Ye's hand was swaying left and right in the strong wind, but the candlelight inside seemed to be unaffected at all, standing still in the sudden wind, shining brightly.

"Wow!" The orcs in the room were amazed when they saw this scene.

Ci Ye looked at the sturdy lantern in his hand and was extremely satisfied.The bamboo slices, animal skins and snow glue used to make lanterns are all very strong things, and the lanterns made are naturally very practical.

The surface of the lantern is also brushed with a layer of waterproof grease, so there is no need to worry about it going out whether it is windy or rainy in the future.

"That's how lanterns are made. Let's finish your own lanterns and see how it works." While everyone was feeling emotional, Ci Ye also encouraged them to arouse everyone's passion for making them.

"Okay! Let's finish the lantern as soon as possible!" Seeing the beautiful lantern in Ci Ye's hand, the orcs were so greedy, they suppressed their excitement and devoted themselves to the work of making lanterns.

For the next few days, Ci Ye taught the orcs how to make candles and lanterns in the house.

In addition to the classic red lanterns, Ciye also makes other styles of lanterns.

Choose a big pumpkin from the ground, cut it in half, trim the edges into sawtooth, put a small candle inside, and the tender yellow light will shine through the flesh, and a jack-o-lantern is ready, which looks very cute.

And other lanterns, such as spring flowers with strange patterns, palace-shaped revolving lanterns, full moons in the shape of a full moon, and lotus cups with blooming petals... Each lantern is not inferior, with exquisite and unique appearance and beautiful meaning. name.

Looking at these lanterns, Ci Ye was also very happy. He never thought that they could be made in reality, and the degree of exquisiteness was far beyond his imagination.

In addition to these lanterns, the orcs also used their creativity and imagination to make lanterns in other shapes, such as lion-shaped, tiger-shaped, leopard-shaped... These abstract lanterns, although not as good as Ciye Lanterns are made, but they are also popular among tribes.

After all, even Ci Ye couldn't help but be overwhelmed by the charm of these lanterns, let alone the orcs who roared the tribe.

These days, in addition to playing beast chess, there is a frenzy of making lanterns in the tribe.Every orc is proud of owning a lantern. In addition to learning how to make lanterns by himself, those orcs who can make lanterns are even more enthusiastically sought after. Every day, people ask them to help make a lantern of their own.

Soon, the rainy days passed in the glowing red and bright lights. The orcs no longer hated the cloudy sky and the dark night, but eagerly hoped for the night to come.Because at this time, you can light up your beloved lantern, and a sea of ​​light will flow in the tribe.

"La la la!" Sitting on the bed in her room, Gu Li hummed happily.On the shelf by the window, hung a lantern in the shape of a lotus flower, which was given to her by Ci Ye.

Seeing the beautiful lanterns shining faintly in the dark night, Gu Li was extremely happy, her big eyes sparkled and she giggled.

Shrouded in the orange light, as warm as lying in Eminem's arms, Gu Li stared at the lantern, thinking in a daze, and gradually sank into a warm dreamland.

On her bedside, she hung a beautiful lotus lamp.Under the light, the girl is having a sweet dream—there is a beautiful and gentle mother, a strong and reliable father, Jinze, a witch, blue sky, white clouds, birds, and burning candles flickering the sound of……

The author has something to say: In my memory, when I went to the park when I was young, I would always cry and make my parents buy small lanterns for me at the stalls. After all, the lanterns are so cute!During the Spring Festival, my house will also hang lanterns, but they are the kind of spliced ​​palace lanterns without candles and without light.But even without glowing, bright red can bring a feeling of happiness and joy.

In other words, I had a super interesting dream last night, and it was really funny to think about it.

I dreamed that I was playing with my mobile phone, and I saw that others were issuing air tickets to travel on May Day. I felt envious, so I took my friends and flew to Macau. (I don't know why it's Macau[怪力])

I went to the hotel to pack my luggage, went shopping, walked to a small alley, and saw an old lady selling rabbits, so I bought two big rabbits, and then brought them back to the hotel with my friends. (I don't even know why I bought a rabbit)

On the way back, I was holding the cage, and my eyes were in a daze. I saw a little rabbit in the cage, and I said to my friend: Look!One more bunny!

Friend: No, you read it wrong!

When I walked to the hotel, I saw that there was another little rabbit in the cage. I said to my friend: Look!Another one!

Friend: No!You read it wrong!

Walking into the room, I put the cage on the ground. I blinked, and there was another little rabbit in the cage. I grabbed my friend and said: Look!Another rabbit, I kid you not!

Friend: Yes!There are really three more bunnies!

Me: what's going on?

Friend: First open the cage and catch the little rabbit out.

I'm good!

Afterwards, when the cage was opened, the rabbits scattered and all ran out.At this time, a raccoon cat suddenly appeared, trying to bite one of the little rabbits, I immediately put my hand in front of its mouth, and woke up from the dream.

This dream is so strange that it makes people scratch their heads.The only clue I can find is that the content of the dream is a bit similar to a fairy tale, with three changes, three dialogues, and a sudden turning point at the end. The rabbit and the cat also have a bit of cuteness.

I like to read fairy tales very much. When I was a child, I read "Grimm's Fairy Tales", "Andersen's Fairy Tales", etc., which were deleted versions. When I grew up, I began to search for the original versions, and I also understood the metaphors behind these fairy tales.A few days ago, I read the complete works of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales translated by Mr. Ye Junjian. I don't know if it is because of this reason.

I hope this dream has no special meaning. I still believe in gods and ghosts. Before I dreamed of losing my teeth, I was terrified for many days.Well, anyway, I won’t go out on May [-]st, so I can stay at home and type with peace of mind.come on!
