It's night. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info moon and stars are scarce.

Outside the castle of Kyoto, Kyoto. By the moat.

"There are so many people...... "Standing under the dimly lit city gate, looking at the crowd of people by the moat from a distance, Leng Qing, who was holding two pink lotus river lamps in his right hand, couldn't help but sigh.

"Today is the Chung Yeung Festival, and the people in the capital have come to the moat to put river lanterns on this day for many years to pray for the health of their families and relatives and friends far away, so there are naturally many people." The answer to Leng Qing was Liang Shengxiao's clear and humble voice.

looked sideways at Leng Qing, who was looking ahead, but Liang Shengxiao, who was holding Zhu Xiao in his left hand, asked so softly: "Miss Leng, are you still holding Miss Leng below?" There was a pause in the words, and it was Liang Shengxiao's gentle voice: "There are many people by the moat tonight, so as not to be scattered by the crowd at that time." ”

Leng Qing, who was standing side by side beside Liang Shengxiao, heard this, looked sideways at Liang Shengxiao, and only heard Leng Qing laugh softly so indifferently: "Liang Gongzi is too worried, how can he be washed away so easily?" There are a lot of people here, but it's good to pay attention. Even if it is really washed away, I can find Liang Gongzi. "It's like during the day when you're in the Hidden Pavilion.

However, Liang Shengxiao said to Leng Qing with a serious face: "Miss Leng, it is dark right now, if you are scattered by the crowd and blended into the depths of the crowd, it will not be as easy to find as it is during the day." ”

In the face of Liang Shengxiao's gentle but serious face and persistent words, Leng Qing in the night closed her lips twice, but she still didn't say anything.

So, Liang Shengxiaoquan acquiesced to Leng Qing's proposal, and reached out and held Leng Qing's left hand hanging by his side.

Although Leng Qing did not refuse Liang Shengxiao's hand-holding behavior, in Leng Qing's heart, the truth of the matter was actually that Liang Shengxiao insisted on holding her, and she was too contrary to Liang Shengxiao's will for various reasons, so she could only let Liang Shengxiao lead her in the end......

After Leng Qing acquiesced to Liang Shengxiao's hand-holding behavior, Liang Shengxiao no longer hesitated to lead Leng Qing through the crowd of shoulders, and took Leng Qing to the moat where the river was flowing quietly.

The width of the moat outside the city is about 60 meters, and the difference between the water surface and the embankment is not large.

At this moment, on the surface of the spacious moat, countless river lamps of various shapes are slowly floating. The river lanterns are faintly lit, carrying all kinds of wishes and expectations, and slowly drifting into the distance along the gentle current.

Speaking of which, although Leng Qing had been in and out of Creping City a few times, it was the first time that she had taken such a close and careful look at the moat outside Creping City. After all, every time she entered and exited Creping City before, Leng Qing either didn't have time to look around, or she didn't have the opportunity to look around......

Squeezed through the crowd, squatting by the moat with two pink lotus river lanterns, looking at the river water that was a little muddy at night, Leng Qing couldn't help but whisper to Liang Shengxiao, who was also squatting beside her: "Liang Gongzi, I heard that there are swords and sharp weapons buried in the moat, is it true?" ”

"Yes. A very sharp weapon that is not easily corroded by water, and can stand in water for 100 years. The answer to Leng Qing was Liang Shengxiao's clear and humble voice as always.

"How deep are those sharp weapons underwater?" When she asked like this, Leng Qing leaned out most of her body towards the moat outside the embankment without any sense of danger, as if she wanted to see what the murder weapons buried in the river looked like.

However, Leng Qing's dangerous action failed to make it to the end, and was pulled back to the embankment in time by a broad palm, and at the same time, it was Liang Shengxiao's somewhat worried reminder: "Miss Leng be careful, don't get too close to the shore, those sharp weapons are very close to the water, if you accidentally fall into the moat......"

Liang Shengxiao's words were not finished, but Leng Qing understood it without surprise - if she accidentally fell into the moat, even if she Leng Qing was super watery, I was afraid that she would be either dead or disabled immediately.

As soon as such a thought came out, Leng Qing immediately wiped a cold sweat in her heart for her reckless behavior just now-

Hehe, she has not avenged her revenge, the enemy is still at ease, she naturally can't die young so easily! Even if she wants to fall into this moat, she has to fall down with something that is not as good as a beast to be a loss!

Hiding the increasingly terrible revenge in her heart, she raised her hand and held up the two pink lotus river lanterns she was holding in her hand that she bought when she went shopping with Liang Shengxiao in the afternoon, and Leng Qing smiled lightly: "Liang Gongzi, let's go back after putting the river lanterns?" I've been out all day today, and I'm afraid it's too late to go back, I'm afraid it's too ...... Madame will be worried. ”

After saying this, Leng Qing first rolled her eyes in her heart: "What the hell is Mrs. Tai??"

When Leng Qing silently despised herself in her heart, on the other side, she could only hear Liang Shengxiao's clear and humble voice say in such a low voice: "The Chongyang banquet will be held in the forbidden middle tonight, according to the habits of previous years, the eldest brother and they should stay in the forbidden middle tonight and will not return home." ”

Because of the dense crowd around them, if the voice is a little louder, they will be heard by inconsequential people, so Liang Shengxiao leaned into Leng Qing's ear and said it to Leng Qing alone in a low voice.

After saying this, Liang Shengxiao took the two pink lotus river lanterns that Leng Qing held up in front of him, and then took out a fire fold from his sleeve pocket and lit the two pink lotus river lamps one after another.

And this side, after listening to Liang Shengxiao's words, Leng Qing thought that Liang Shengxiao's words meant to tell her that even if she went back late today, it would be fine??!

"So, even if you don't come home tonight, will it be okay?" With a bit of a joking mentality, Leng Qing asked so seriously on her face, although her status was noble, she was squatting by the moat like her at this moment, always holding the ordinary bamboo Xiao in her hand, and Liang Shengxiao with two lit pink lotus river lamps in front of her.

On that side, hearing Leng Qing's serious inquiry, Liang Shengxiao's figure stiffened significantly.

After a long time, Liang Shengxiao looked sideways at Leng Qing, with a tangled expression, and took Leng Qing's question just now in a tangled tone. Liang Shengxiao said: "If Miss Leng doesn't want to go back, it's not impossible...... It's just that there's something wrong with staying outside at night for a long time......"

Leng Qing didn't answer Liang Shengxiao's words, but calmly picked up a pink lotus river lamp in front of Liang Shengxiao, leaned over, and put the lit pink lotus river lamp into the quietly flowing moat.

With her hands around her knees, Leng Qing kept watching the lit pink lotus river lantern carrying her wishes and expectations follow the gentle flow of water and slowly merge into the various river lanterns floating in the moat, drifting with those river lanterns, slowly drifting into the distance.

In a strange silence, Leng Qing suddenly spit out a faint word: "Liang Gongzi, when the day comes, how about accompanying me to the Reclining Buddha Temple?" ”

On that side, Liang Shengxiao, who was leaning over to put the remaining lit pink lotus river lantern in the moat, heard this, and subconsciously responded with a "hmm". After responding, Liang Shengxiao suddenly raised his eyes to look at Leng Qing who was squatting beside him, looking at Leng Qing in the distance with a flat face, but when he heard that Liang Shengxiao had some reactions, he couldn't ask back: "Huh??" Where to?? ”

At this side, he turned his eyes to Liang Shengxiao, and looked at Liang Shengxiao's clear and somewhat confused gaze, Leng Qing pulled out a smile that was faint to the extreme, and his pink lips slightly opened and spit out three faint words: "Reclining Buddha Temple." After a pause, Leng Qing smiled and added: "I don't know the way to the Reclining Buddha Temple, so I want to ask Liang Gongzi to take me there." ”

"Hmm...... It's not difficult to take Miss Leng to the Wat of Reclining Buddha, it's just ...... Why did Miss Leng suddenly go to Wat Pho? The answer to Leng Qing was Liang Shengxiao's somewhat dazed inquiry.

Turning his eyes again, he looked at the moat in front of him that was almost full of river lamps of various shapes, and replied in a light tone: "I heard that the Reclining Buddha Temple is an ancient temple on the Tiancheng Continent for hundreds of years, even after the war more than two hundred years ago, the incense of the Reclining Buddha Temple is still at its peak.

I have also heard that the Buddha enshrined in Wat Pho is very good and almost always responsive. In particular, if the spiritual seat of the deceased can be placed in the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and enshrined by the monks in the temple, he will be reborn in a safe and worry-free good family in the next life, and his life will be safe. I...... I want to ask for a place of worship for the deceased in the Temple of the Reclining Pho. ”

After Leng Qing said this, Liang Shengxiao was silent for a while. When Liang Shengxiao spoke, Liang Shengxiao didn't say anything else, but responded to Leng Qing's word affirmatively: "Okay." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Liang." Turning his head and smiling at Liang Shengxiao, Leng Qing sincerely thanked him.

On that side, I saw Liang Shengxiao stand up slowly, lowered his eyes, and spit out a sentence with an uncertain expression: "Miss Leng, go back." ”

Following Liang Shengxiao's words, Leng Qing stood up, turned around without hesitation, and walked back side by side with Liang Shengxiao along the road he came.

Because today is the Chung Yeung Festival, even though the moon has risen at night, there are still bright and dark candles lit all over the city, and there are no fewer pedestrians on the streets than during the day.

Walking back along the original road, it was inevitable that Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing passed in front of the "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun" gate again.

Looking at the brightly lit hall on the first floor in "Xiangxiao Water Cloud", as well as the few tables of guests scattered in the hall, Leng Qing suddenly opened her mouth and asked Liang Shengxiao who was walking beside her: "Liang Gongzi, are you hungry?" ”

When Liang Shengxiao heard this, she looked sideways at Leng Qing, smiled and asked, "What?" Cold girl hungry? ”

Retracted his gaze looking at "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun", nodded at Liang Shengxiao, and Leng Qing responded honestly: "I'm hungry." ”

Because they ate too late at noon today, when it came time for dinner, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing were not very hungry, so the two did not look for a place to have dinner, but went directly to the moat outside Xuanping City.

Now passing by the "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud", looking at the brightly lit hall of the "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud", and smelling the aroma of food that belongs to the food faintly wafting out of the "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud", Leng Qing only felt that her stomach acid from her sudden hunger began to tumble.

On this side, for Leng Qing's frank words, Liang Shengxiao just pursed her lips and smiled gently.

Looking at the brightly lit "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud" along Leng Qing's gaze, Liang Shengxiao proposed so gently: "Then go in and have dinner before going home." ”

So, Liang Shengxiao and Leng Qing walked into the "Xiaoxiang Water Cloud" for the second time today.

As soon as he stepped into the threshold of "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun", he was immediately greeted by a shopkeeper with a cloth towel on his shoulder, and asked with a slight waist: "I don't know what the two guest officers want to eat?" ”

The same attitude, the same lines, the difference is that tonight's shopkeeper is not the shopkeeper during the day.

At this time, he sat down with Leng Qing at an empty table near the door in the store, and after Liang Shengxiao gently put the bamboo Xiao in his hand on the table like he did during the day, he looked at Leng Qing who was sitting opposite him, and asked Leng Qing in such a gentle voice: "What does Miss Leng want to eat?" ”

Over there, Leng Qing looked sideways at the shopkeeper who was waiting at their table with a slight bow, smiling, Leng Qing said lightly to the shopkeeper: "Your restaurant's signature dishes are served casually, don't be spicy, and don't be too oily." ”

"Okay, two guest officers, please wait a moment." With such a smile, the shopkeeper turned around and left.

When the shopkeeper turned to leave, Leng Qing, who was sitting across the table from Liang Shengxiao, suddenly coughed, and said to Liang Shengxiao with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "What's that...... Ahem, Liang Gongzi, I'll go and make it easier. ”

"Okay, it's dark, the lights are dark, Miss Leng be careful." In response to Leng Qing, Liang Shengxiao, who had a smile on her face, nodded and gently admonished.

At this side, Leng Qing stood up, nodded at Liang Shengxiao, and then left the table.

"This little brother, please stay!" After following the shopkeeper into the backyard of "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun", Leng Qing called the shopkeeper out of his voice, and then asked in a low voice: "Is your shopkeeper here?" ”

"I wonder what this girl is looking for our shopkeeper?" The answer to Leng Qing was the voice of the shopkeeper with a little vigilance.

"The wife of your shopkeeper asked me to bring two sentences to your shopkeeper." In the night, Leng Qing's voice sounded a little cold.

On that side, I saw the shopkeeper grinning, and replied with some haha: "Isn't this girl joking?" The owner of 'Xiangxiao Shuiyun' is our shopkeeper......"

"Listen, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, if your shopkeeper Xu is still in the store, let him go to the thatched house to find me. If he doesn't come even though he is in the store, the next time something happens to 'Xiangxiao Shuiyun's dishes eat people to death', let you shopkeeper Xu solve it yourself. This side, without waiting for the shopkeeper to finish speaking, Leng Qing directly cut off the shopkeeper's words in a cold voice.

After a pause, Leng Qing said coldly: "Also, didn't Lin Zhiwu tell you that when the fried bean worms are put on the plate, you should put some green vegetable petals or something on the plate to decorate?" Who told you to bring a plate of bugs directly to the guests? ”

How disgusting it looks when fried insects are placed on the plate of white flowers!!
