Chapter 1 Make a wish in front of the lamp

Xiao Bai held a water plant in his mouth and sucked it twice when his throat was dry. He held a lampstick as bright as soybeans in one hand and a small hoe with a crane's mouth in one hand. He arched his waist to dig and smash it on the ground. When he saw some golden rice grains, he picked it up.

This is a dark world. Small orange light spots are shining on the ground. If you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that these flashing light spots are lamps, which are held by many people. These people are doing the same thing as Xiao Bai.

"Xiao Xiao, how's the digging? The time has come. If it's not finished, I still have a little more to make up for it.

In the corner where Xiao Bai was, three people gathered together. The front one, with a tiger's back and bear waist, thick eyebrows and square face, and a resolute look, he was Xiao Bai's eldest brother Xiao Li. At this time, he was straightening his body, and his voice was particularly soft, giving people an invisible sense of security.

Between Xiao Bai and Xiao Li, there was a petite girl, wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes with a blurred appearance, which was covered by dust. He is Xiao Bai's younger sister, Xiao Xiao.

"It's not enough. Brother, I'm really useless. Every time, I have to share it with my second brother. I can't even complete the task of the lighting conference. I always cause trouble to the patriarch. This time, it seems that there is no hope of completion. Alas, if only I had the lamp soul. Xiao Xiao raised her head with a sigh and said lonely that she could faintly see a delicate face.

"Go back and add my here, which should be enough." Xiao Bai also straightened up, but he was taller than Xiao Li's body, but it was obvious that he was not as burly as the man, and his tone did not seem to be so angry, and he seemed unwilling to speak.

Xiao Xiao turned around and looked at the teenager with a naive smile and a surprised face: "Xiao Bai, can you help me finish it?"

"Don't call me Xiaobai, call me Shaobai." Xiao Bai immediately corrected that although there had been countless reminders, Xiao Xiao still did not change his consciousness.

Xiao Bai and Xiao Li Xiao Xiao are brothers and sisters, but they are both fatherless orphans and adopted together, so they become brothers and sisters.

Xiao Li, 24 years old, is the largest of the three. She is more open-minded and bright.

Xiao Xiao, a young girl, is about 19 years old, but she does not have the awareness of this age. She is also a flower in the greenhouse and is cared for.

Xiao Bai doesn't like words. Generally speaking, no one knows what he is thinking. If Xiao Xiao often teases him, Xiao Bai might not have been able to say a few words a day. The name Xiaobai is the bridge between Xiao and Xiao Bai. Xiaobai gives Xiao Bai a feeling of being called small, and even a pet, so Xiao Bai does not want others to call him Xiaobai, but Xiao Xiao is happy about it. Every time Xiao Bai corrects, Xiao Xiao Xiao only listens it as a wind.

As for those golden rice grains, which are called lamp soul fragments, Xiao Bai doesn't know what that is the use of that. He only knows that the Xiao clan has been digging this thing under this dark day for a hundred years.

"Xiaobai, have you dug up your own?" Xiao Xiao's big eyes looked at Xiao Bai clearly, full of surprise. This second brother is usually stuffy and doesn't talk much, but when he does things, he is not ambiguous at all and competes with Xiao Li.

"With Xiao Li's, it should be enough." Xiao Bai stretched out his hand and spread out his dark palm, with something like golden rice grains on it, emitting a faint light. This is what the whole family has been looking for for hundreds of years. Not only that, there are countless people doing the same thing as the Xiao people in this darkness.

Xiao Li came over, put together the fragments of the lamp soul of the three people, and divided them into three equal parts and handed them to Xiao Xiao Bai and Xiao Xiao: "It should be enough. Go back and have a rest first. When the time comes, it will be time for the light burning conference. At that time, we will all have our own lantern souls. If we dig again, it should be light. A lot of loose."

Xiao Li pulled Xiao Xiao and walked back, but Xiao Bai did not move.

"What's wrong, Xiaobai?" Xiao Xiao saw that Xiao Bai did not move and was very curious. This second brother likes to hide everything in his heart.

"It's okay. The lighting conference is tomorrow. You can go back first. I want to walk alone. Xiao Bai answered, a little absent-minded.

"Then I'll accompany you, but when the sky goes down, you have to go back, or Dad will come out to find it again." Xiao Xiao bent the corners of her mouth and put her hands behind her back, approaching Xiao Bai.

This distance made Xiao Bai a little short of breath. After a pause, he calmly said, "Let's go back first."

"That's what you said. Make a wish in front of it while there is still light. Maybe it will come true." Xiao Xiao showed a triumphant smile. Two small tiger teeth, shiny and cute, people couldn't help but get close to each other. Xiao Xiao's interest was unabated, and she was very optimistic at any time.

Xiao Bai looked up at the high place, where the only beam of light shot down from the sky, like a straight well, was their skylight. In fact, Xiao Bai knew for a long time that this skylight was from the golden rice grains dug out by himself. These fragments of lamp souls led up through this beam of light. The surface produces light and radiates in.

"If it really comes true, it won't be so long without a response. If you believe him, you might as well believe in yourself." Xiao Bai looked at the bright sky, and his eyes flashed with a little helplessness.

"Go back quickly. Anyway, there is enough time, and it doesn't take much time to make a wish." Xiao Xiao ran to the Xiao clan alone.

Xiao Xiao was the first and ran in front excitedly. She was always so carefree. Xiao Li looked at the crowd still digging in the distance, and Xiao Bai looked at the skylight.

"Yo, isn't this the son and daughter of the patriarch Xiao? What a coincidence that you met here. Did you complete tomorrow's task so quickly?

On the way back, the three met another group of people who had completed the excavation. These people saw Xiao Xiao, who were like wolves and tigers, drooling at the corners of their mouths.

"It's a member of the Li clan!" Xiao Xiao suddenly smiled and hummed in a low voice, which was very unhappy.

In this darkness, the Li people are a relatively large tribe, mainly because of the large number of people gathered into a larger group.

"Don't pay attention to them, let's go!"

Xiao Bai didn't look at them. This group of people was nothing more than coveted Xiao Xiao's beauty and came to make fun of them. Xiao Xiao is 19 years old, but she still hasn't married. This group of people just saw that there was a play, which is full of enthusiasm, but Xiao Xiao hates them very much.

"Wait!" There was a heavy shout in the Li clan, and the people in front of him got out one after another. A gorgeous and short fat man came out and said lazily, "Xiao Xiao, let's say hello when we meet. They all live in a skylight. They don't look up and look down. You are too good."

"Li Zhen!" Xiao Xiao gritted her teeth, and her eyes were about to burst into flames. This Li Zhen has always been unable to get along with the Xiao people. Relying on the crowd, he comes to make trouble if he has nothing to do.

"That's right. Isn't it good to say hello?" Li Zhen immediately laughed and walked into Xiao Xiao. ** smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the lighting conference. I'm very curious. Xiao Xiao, what will you choose as your lamp soul at that time."

Xiao Xiao's face was cold and she sneered, "Choose nothing is none of your business. At least, the fragments of my lamp soul are all dug up by me, not by shady means."

Li Zhen shrugged his fat shoulders and said without thinking, "What's wrong with that? At least, our family has this strength. I would like to remind you that it is better to choose those mice, earthworms and so on for tomorrow's lighting conference. Because all animal lamp souls have been wrapped by our Li family.

"You..." Xiao Xiao's eyes were so angry that she bit her teeth and wanted to do it.

Li Zhen laughed proudly: "You'd better find someone to marry as soon as possible. People like you are already inferior. Don't try to marry a capable person. It's your job to choose a good lamp soul. However, if you marry me, that's another matter. I will definitely raise you white and fat. It's enough to have someone to do these heavy jobs, instead of holding each other and licking each other's wounds all day long like you weak people.

"Li Zhen, one-on-one?" Xiao Bai clenched his fist and stood up.

Li Zhen suddenly made a frightened expression and said with a bad smile, "Yo, one-on-one? I'm so scared that you are so strong that you scare others. Then his face changed, but it became gloomy: "Is it great to have some strength? One-on-one? After tomorrow's lighting conference, I will let you know what a one-on-one is! Think about it, if you can't even get the lamp soul, what can you do to fight with me?

Li Zhen led the Li people away laughing, but Xiao Bai clenched his fists and endured it for fear that he would do something too much.

"Let's go!" Xiao Bai said in a low voice.

"Brother, don't look, Li Youwei and you are completely different people." Xiao Li's eyes still stayed on a woman standing next to Li Zhen, who was also a member of the Li family. Her name was Li Youwei. She was quite beautiful, but she didn't know her character. Xiao Li was moved when she saw it by chance.

Xiao Li sighed and left silently.

Near the skylight, it is the residence of the Xiao people. It is a village with houses and water, which is no different from the ordinary world. The only thing missing is the day.

Xiao Xiao washed her face with water, and then showed her white face. After washing her face, her eyes became much more watery and looked very lovely.

"Brother, Xiaobai, let's make a wish!" Xiao Xiao took out three simple lamps from her room and shook Xiao Li and Xiao Bai, but no one responded.

These three lamps represent the lives of three people, called the life lamp. They are connected with their lives and depend on each other.

Xiao Xiao didn't care about that, grabbed the two and ran to the light.

Three inconspicuous lamps were placed next to the skylight. Xiao Xiao knelt on the ground devoutly, put her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a wish for this light.

"Bless your father to be strong and live a long life!"

"Bless you find the right person as soon as possible, and Xiaobai can go out and have a look!"

"Bless me..." Xiao Xiao silently kowtowed three times and saw Xiao Li and Xiao Bai sitting aside without any movement. Xiao Li looked at the distance and knew what he was thinking. Xiao Bai held a water plant in his hand and looked at the skylight in a daze.

Xiao Xiao looked at the two brothers helplessly and said angrily, "Go back. Every time I pull you two here and make a wish, it's like taking your souls. I won't pull you here next time."

Xiao Xiao put away three life lights and ran back angrily. Xiao Bai and Xiao Li looked at each other and smiled. I don't know how many times the same situation has happened.
