Chapter 3 Night Lantern Festival
Thundercloud Dart Bureau Lobby:
"This is roughly how things happened, and I also talked to Zhao Darttou. The old general's subordinates are all elite soldiers, and the lower officials asked the Thundercloud Dart Bureau to lend manpower, some of them cooperated with the arrest to patrol the town, and the other part worked with the officers and soldiers to find the hiding place of the bandits in the mountains and forests near Yongan Town, I don't know what the old general wants? Master Sun asked.
Ma Leiyun drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp: "Since it is for the people, Ma will naturally not refuse." ”
Sun Xi got up and saluted again: "The old general has served the country and the people all his life, and the lower officials know that you will definitely not ignore children. It was a blessing for the people to come here today to see the old general return home. Getting the promise of the old general, I can rest easy, and the lower officials will first worship the old general Xie Ma for the people in the town. ”
"Lord Sun is serious."
"Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first month, it is the Lantern Festival of family reunion and happiness, Yongan Town is more noisy than usual, in order to prevent thieves from taking advantage of the chaos to commit crimes, please pay more attention to the darts heads!"
Sun Xi raised his glass and toasted to everyone in the hall.

After the banquet, Ma Leiyun sent the county magistrate Sun Xi to the door. Sun Xi said goodbye to Ma Leiyun and said, "This matter is bothered by General Lao!" Although tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, the market is lit up from the 8th day of the Lunar New Year until the night of the 17th day of the first lunar month. It's a rare spectacle, and you can see it all. ”
"Things like lantern viewing are still left to young people to do well. Yun'er is getting older, and she is only allowed to travel together during festivals, and I'm afraid it's already stuffy. Ma Leiyun said behind him: "Jiang Feng, you are so big, have you ever seen the Lantern Festival?" ”
The boy shook his head.
"That's right, you will accompany Yun'er to visit the light market. Stay safe and come back early. ”
Mu Yun folded his hands on the back of his abdomen and walked slowly, looking like a dignified lady. just saw Jiang Feng's eyes flickering out of curiosity, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's not necessarily who accompanies whom......
Seeing this, Shen Jianzhou immediately echoed and said, "Yes, yes!" Visiting the lantern festival is a young person's business. Mo'er! You are the oldest of the children, and you have to take care of them! After visiting the Lantern Festival, remember to send Yun'er and them back to the dart board and then go home, and remember not to be too late. ”
"Got it, Daddy."
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Shen Jianzhou's words made Shen Mo take care of Mu Yun naturally.
At this time, a long lantern dragon came from the street dance, and in a blink of an eye, it merged into the lantern festival. Mu Yun took one person in one hand and said excitedly: "Hurry up!" Drill under the dragon lantern! Dip in the dragon's light! Jiang Feng, who was originally stunned, was pulled over like this.
Zhao Shanyong on the side smiled and shook his head at their backs, "A child is a child!" ”

Lantern Festival Bazaar:
Thousands of trees bloom at night in the east wind. More blows down, stars like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.
Merchants and craftsmen gather at the lantern festival to sell the lanterns they make on the street. Around Jiang Feng, there were hundreds of lanterns hanging within just a few steps. The style and process of the lamp are also novel and varied, and even some people use glutinous juice to burn into a glass bottle, and then make a lantern, which can store water and raise fish, and the candlelight is reflected next to it, which is transparent and lovely, attracting an endless stream of viewers.
In addition to the merchants who specialize in selling lanterns, the teahouses on the street have also begun to hang lanterns for sale. Some large families also arrange all kinds of lanterns in the garden pavilion of their homes, and open the door for people to visit, and also prepare wine and food to show their prosperity. And those small households who live in the quiet alleys of the secluded square also hang several five-color glass lamps in front of the door, looking from afar, it is like a fairyland.
There are also performers in the lantern festival, who sing beautifully and dance gracefully, which is the icing on the cake of the lantern festival.
Jiang Feng had never seen such a lively scene, and there were things everywhere that made him stand still. Mu Yun didn't pay attention for a moment, and found that Jiang Feng was behind him.
The girl turned around and shouted anxiously, but it was too difficult to make this Jiang Feng move a step. Mu Yun saw that the young man couldn't keep up, so he had to turn around and look for it.
"Jiang Feng, I heard that you grew up in the mountains, you must not have seen so many dazzling lanterns, right?"
"People in the mountains and wilderness must have never seen the market, why should Sister Yun ask knowingly."
In this year's Lantern Festival, Shen Mo originally wanted to create an opportunity to accompany Mu Yun to the Lantern Festival alone. But who would have thought that a Jiang Feng would suddenly appear. Shen Mo was unhappy in his heart, and his words were tingling.
"Flower lanterns, I remember that there are also villages at the foot of the Shulong Mountains, but they are relatively simple, of course, they are not as good as the lanterns in Yongan Town, but even the street lamps here are ingenious."
The stone streets of Yong'an Town are lit with delicate giant candles or pine firewood as street lamps, and there are catchers standing aside tonight to maintain order.
"Oh? So what kind have you seen? Mu Yun asked.
"Have you ever seen a turnip lamp? Hollow out the turnips, pour oil on them, and light them with a straw to make a torch. Or directly soak it in oil with corn cob and burn it as a torch. ”
"Carrot lamp? Corn lights? So funny? And what's more! And what's more! ”
Shen Mo on the side was a little annoyed, he didn't know why Mu Yun liked to talk to this hillbilly so much.
Catchers on the side of the road posted something on the wall. Mu Yun curiously stepped forward to take a look, and found that it was a reward notice for the capture of child abduction and trafficking.
Before Mu Yun finished reading, he saw a strange man dressed as a Taoist priest and took the notice away.
"Hey! Fat Taoist! This is a list, do you know what it means to take it away? Catcher shouted behind the Taoist priest.
"How can the poor man not know? Three months later, the poor road will go to collect the reward. ”
"What? Three months later? Get drunk! I dare to boast here. Catch quickly continued to shout: "Fat Taoist, hurry up and return the list ...... Hey? ”
The Taoist in front of him suddenly disappeared, and the next person who saw this scene was also secretly surprised.
"Ahh Mu Yun let out an exclamation.
Jiang Feng looked back and saw an insect fly to Mu Yun's face.
Shen Mo's eyes were quick, and he immediately stepped forward to knock out the flying insects, "It's okay!" It's okay! I've chased the bugs away. Shen Mo glanced at the insects on the ground, picked them up and said, "Don't be afraid! It's just the scarab we used to play with when we were kids! ”
Jiang Feng saw that Mu Yun had blue spots on his forehead, so he reached out and wiped Mu Yun with his sleeve, his hand had just touched Mu Yun, and was suddenly pushed away by Shen Mo.
"What are you doing!"
"I want to wipe the stain off her forehead for her."
"Stains? Where is the stain? Shen Mo looked at Mu Yun's forehead under the lamp, and found nothing wrong, "Shameless people, they actually find an excuse to do frivolous things!" ”
"Such a visible mark! Can't you really see it?
