Walking to the bridge, I saw many young men and women lighting lotus lanterns on both sides of the Qu River, and then put them in the river and let them slowly drift away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked Ning Xuan's brother, who told her that this was an annual custom in Chao'an City, originally to commemorate the deceased relatives, and it was said that the Qushui River leads directly to the underworld, which can bring the thoughts of relatives to the souls of the dead on the banks of the Sansheng River, and pray that they will be reincarnated as humans as soon as possible. But now it has become a way for young men and women to meet under the moon and pray for love. She asked Shen Ningxuan: "Brother, have you ever let go of the river lantern?" ”

Shen Ningxuan's face turned red as soon as he fluttered, but fortunately, it was hazy under the lamp, and it wasn't so obvious to see: "How could I let that go?" That's your girls' stuff. Let's go, my brother will take you to the front to see the excitement, the richest man in the city, the Zhang family, specially set up an arrow platform today, and compete with arrows to win treasures, let's also go find some color. ”

Zhang's arrow platform is located not far from the other side of the bridge. From a distance, I saw that the inner and outer three floors were surrounded by a sea of people, and from time to time there were bursts of sighs or cheers. The heroic blood in Shen Ningxuan's bones boiled again, and he pulled his sister and squeezed inside. Fortunately, he is tall and a person who practices martial arts, and he pushed left and right to successfully kill a broad avenue, bringing Su Yichen to the innermost safely. The arrow platform is more than 10 zhang long, and an ordinary red heart target is set up at the farthest point. The housekeeper of Zhang's mansion touched his goatee and stood on the side with a smile, and invited men, women and children, whether it was hunters or traders, or warriors, to come forward and give it a try. The mystery jackpot was covered with a red silk cloth, and from the shape of it was a boxy box, and I don't know what treasures it contained. Many people are eager to try, but they often fail in the challenge of the mysterious prize, which is a copper coin of inches, and the Zhang family has hollowed out the effort to tie it to a red rope and hang it under a wooden frame that is constantly swaying from side to side. Only the one who shoots an arrow through the copper coin is the mysterious winner of the grand prize tonight. This challenge is not only archery, it is simply the realm of heart and arrow.

Shen Ningxuan watched intently, he practiced martial arts and archery under the guidance of his grandfather at the age of 4, and followed his father's battlefield experience at the age of 16, known as the "jade-faced little general". Seeing competition at this time is like a hungry person seeing a sweet spring, and his heart is itching. Su Yichen became interested, and remembered what Ning Xuan's brother had just said about releasing river lanterns to pray for his relatives. Seeing that Shen Ningxuan is on the rise, it is estimated that he will have to roll up his sleeves and go into battle for a while, and it will not be over for a while. He gently tugged at his sleeve and whispered in his ear: "Brother, I'll go to see the river lantern and come back to you later." ”

Shen Ningxuan didn't turn his eyes, he made two sounds, there were too many people and it was very noisy, and he didn't know if he heard it. She didn't care so much, and struggled to squeeze out.

There were vendors selling river lanterns by the river, she carefully picked one, and subconsciously touched the money bag on her waist to dig out the silver. Looking down, the waist was empty, the money bag had long been gone, and I didn't know if it was accidentally squeezed out by a lot of people just now, or if it was touched by someone who took the sheep by the hand. It was terrible, she smiled apologetically at the peddler, and reluctantly put down the lantern. The peddler glanced at her, he might have been used to such a situation for a long time, and he also smiled: "Girl, lost the money bag?" It doesn't matter, I don't think you look like a fraudster, this Shangyuan Festival lights up once a year, don't miss the opportunity, or you can see what is valuable on your body? I'll give you a swap. ”

This peddler seems to be honest, but he is slippery, Su Yichen has nothing of value except jewelry, he wants to exchange this lantern for five dollars a piece of jewelry on her, it is really like a pie out of thin air. Although she knew that the hawker was black-hearted, she was helpless, she was penniless at this time, but as the hawker said, she didn't want to give up the opportunity to pray for her mother once a year on the Shangyuan Festival. Gritting his silver teeth, he finally relented, reached out and picked up a pair of lake bead earrings on his ears, and handed them over. The peddler was smiling all over his face, and he was happy to pick it up.

A hand stretched out out of thin air behind him, and preemptively handed one or two pieces of silver to the vendor: "I paid for this young lady's lamp, you give her a lamp and a pen and paper." ”

Su Yichen looked back in amazement, he was wearing a white brocade robe, standing behind him with a dazzling appearance. The streets are full of people coming and going, and suddenly the crowds are pouring back, and there seems to be only this clean and bright figure in the world. On a cold winter night, with a warm smile, her eyes stared at her like a galaxy.

"Childe." She called out in a low voice.

"I'll accompany you to put the river lanterns." He smiled warmly, did not explain why he was here, nor did he ask her why she no longer played Luqi, only said to accompany her to do what she wanted to do most at the moment.

"Hmm." Su Yichen also responded in a low voice, without asking or explaining.

A short walk down the riverbank, there are relatively few people with lights. The lights on both sides of the river are gently reflected on the slowly flowing river, and the rippling blue waves crush the starlight of the river. He smiled lightly and stretched out his hand to her, which was not broad, but solid and strong, and helped her down the riverbank. Suddenly, the wind blew gently, like the intoxicating fragrance of flowers in spring. He lit the river lamp for her, and watched her gently hold it and put it into the water, and watched it follow the eastward flowing water, converge with the thousands of river lanterns, and then disappear at the far end. At this moment, it is sad, but it is no longer painful.

Su Yichen retracted his gaze from a distance and turned his head to look at him, he was also looking at himself, with a warm smile in his starry eyes. Her face was slightly hot, and she deliberately asked, "Is Childe here alone?" ”

He smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed to a hazy cyan figure under the shadow of the lamp not far away: "My servant, Song Yuan, you saw him that day, he came with me." I'll send you back to the Arrow Tower, your brother is estimated to have finished shooting, and it's time to look for you. ”

Su Yichen was stunned again, not by chance, but that he had been following him all the time, maybe from the moment she left the mansion. If she hadn't come out tonight, if she hadn't wanted to put the river lantern and leave Ning Xuan's side, wouldn't he just wait silently, or watch from afar? She didn't know whether she was happy or sour, and walked slowly with him in the direction of the arrow tower.

Sure enough, before he had gone far, he heard Shen Ningxuan calling out urgently in the crowd: "Chen'er, Chen'er, where are you?" ”

The voice grew closer and closer, coming towards where the two of them were. Su Yichen stopped and stared at him, he still had a warm smile, indifferent, calm, as if it was joy to see each other, and it was happy to part. Already vaguely able to see Ning Xuan's brother's figure, Su Yichen took out a brocade from his sleeve, quickly stuffed it into his hand, then turned away, ran a few steps forward, and waved to Shen Ningxuan in response: "Brother, I'm here." ”

"Chen'er, why are you walking around, making it easy for me to find, how can I see that someone seems to be with you just now?"

"No, brother, you're dazzled......"

Su Yichen left with a smile, she knew that not far behind her, there was a bright figure, just like she knew that every few days, the sound of the Mochizuki Tower would sound.
