Chapter 9 Lanterns

It's their turn to live on them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe boss who sold the pastries was a woman in her forties, and when she saw that Jiang Qu and Sima Luming were handsome, especially Jiang Qu had a sweet mouth, the proprietress was happy, they originally planned to buy only four yuan a piece, but the proprietress was enthusiastic and half sold and half gived, and gave them four more yuan, and served them a pot of coarse tea.

They sat on the small benches placed on the side of the road for the guests to rest, Changsheng looked at the rows of shops on the street, the road was wide and long, and they were all paved with green bricks, and sighed that the wealth of this imperial capital was really not comparable to other places, "This place is really prosperous." ”

Jiang Qu said, "Of course, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, can it not be prosperous." However, where there are many people, there are also many youkai. It's really hard to recognize the appearance of a human being mixed in with mortals. Maybe one day you pass by is a man-eating monster, and you can't say. ”

Gua Liao raised his little face and said proudly, "The daughter-in-law is not afraid, the daughter-in-law has me." ”

Jiang Quxiao looked at the three-inch short body of the hexagram, "Then you have to eat more, eat too much and grow taller to guard your daughter-in-law." ”

Changsheng said, "But this is the imperial capital, shouldn't there be many Buddhist temples and temples?" It should be protected by gods and Buddhas, and there shouldn't be so many monsters. ”

Sima Luming didn't like sweets very much, and when he saw that Changsheng and they all ate it, he didn't touch the pastry. "Everything in this world follows the way of heaven, and so do the beings of the six realms, if you can do well water without disturbing the river water, it is the best."

Hexagram Liao stuffed the pastry so that his cheeks were bulging, because it was delicious, and before he could swallow it, he reached out and grabbed another piece, "My grandfather also said not to meddle too much in mortal affairs, but Changsheng is my daughter-in-law, so I have to be a different ......" He couldn't remember what that word said.

Jiang Qu taught, "It's another matter. ”

Hexagram Liao pursed his lips and said, "The coquettish face loves to show off." ”

The vendor selling lanterns next door sent a few lanterns, and in the Mid-Autumn Festival night market, the proprietress also had to set up a stall, so she ordered a few lamps to decorate the festival.

He jumped out of the chair and ran to the proprietress to stare at the lantern in her hand. The proprietress saw that he was cute and gave him one.

Changsheng thought that it was not easy to make a living by buying and selling a small book, so he took out the money to buy it from her, and the proprietress smiled, "This lantern is not worth much, so let's give it to the child to play, and you can come to patronize it more in the future." ”

Changsheng thanked the proprietress for that, and Jiang Qu simply bought eight more pastries and said that he would take them back to honor Jiang Li.

Hexagram Liao played with the lantern in his hand with great interest and flipped it over and over. Changsheng touched his head, and was about to tell him that it was made of paper and should be taken care of, but he caught a glimpse of a child in the alley in front of him, as if a child was poking his head out to look at them.

The boy saw that Changsheng was looking at him, and retracted his head again.

Changsheng and they returned to Jiang Mansion, and Qian Ruyue and Lianyu came back early. As soon as Qian Ruyue saw Jiang Qu, she decided that Sima Luming would not throw her down silently, it must be Jiang Qu who taught him badly, and scolded Jiang Qu. And Lianyu is dedicated to defending her junior brother, Jiang Qu has not spoken out yet, she has already taken the lead on his behalf, and the war between Lianyu and Qian Ruyue has spread all the way back to Jiang's mansion from the street.

Hexagram Liao happily took the lantern back to the room, and couldn't wait to say that it would be lit, and Changsheng smiled, "It will be beautiful at night." ”

After nightfall, Changsheng lit a lantern and stuck it at the end of the bed, and while listening to Changsheng tell him a story, he stared at the lamp, and fell asleep after a while.

Changsheng tucked the quilt for him and fell asleep.

Hexagram Liao has always been restless when he sleeps, after kicking off his little quilt, he turned over and hugged Changsheng's quilt, he was holding the lantern in his dream, he grabbed Changsheng's quilt and turned around, and turned around on the bed, and his chubby feet rested on Changsheng's face.

Changsheng had no quilt, and it was cold at night, and a cool breeze blew into her to wake her up.

Through the gauze tent, she saw that it was hazy outside, and someone was tiptoeing to pick up the lantern at the end of the bed. She lifted the veil and saw the child in the daytime.

When the boy saw her awake, he was frightened. After jumping up and grabbing the lantern, he turned into a white deer, bit the handle of the lantern in his mouth, stepped on the clouds under his feet, and flew out of the window.

Changsheng was dumbfounded.

Gua Liao rubbed his eyes and sat up, the corners of his mouth still drooling, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?" He saw that the foot of the bed was empty, and his lantern was gone, and he jumped out of bed in a hurry. Gua Liao ran to the window and saw the faint light of the lantern in the night sky, and shouted, "Thief, give me back the lantern!" ”

The hexagram turned into a small dragon and flew out of the window.

Changsheng reacted and hurriedly put on his shoes to chase after him.

Hexagram Liao chased and shouted, "Give me back the lantern!" ”

Bailu ran desperately and didn't respond. The hexagram was angry, opened his mouth and spewed fire, Bailu narrowly avoided it, but the fire did not burn it at all, but unfortunately the lantern was burned. When the white deer saw that the lantern was on fire, he threw it away.

Seeing that the new toy he had just gotten today was gone, he shouted to avenge his lantern and stepped forward to bite Bailu's buttocks. The white deer used the antlers on his head to hit the head of the hexagram with all his strength, and the hexagram turned to the stars in his eyes, and looked at the seven stars of the Big Dipper in the sky.

The white deer wanted to run, but the hexagram shook his head, how could he let it get his wish, and pounced on it and bit it.

Changsheng looked up and saw that this dragon and a deer were fighting in the sky, and you were dead or alive. "Hexagram Liao, stop fighting, I'll send you another lantern."

The hexagram was so red that his eyes were red, and he could still hear it. The dragon claw scratched the other party's face very hard, and the white deer was not to be outdone, raised the deer's hooves and kicked the hexagram.

The dragon and the deer fell from the sky in their arms, and smashed on the altar where Jiang Li was preparing to sacrifice the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and smashed the altar to pieces with a bang.

A dragon and a deer all turned back into children, twisting and kicking each other, and they all had tears in their eyes and two tubes of snot in their noses, crying loudly and beating each other.

The loud noise alarmed the subordinates of the Jiang Mansion who were patrolling the night.

Changsheng had to step forward and hold a child in one hand, and sneak back to the room before anyone found out.

Hexagram Liao and the child were pulling each other's buns, and Changsheng wanted to separate the two of them. Hexagram Liao waved his hand at the corner of her eye, and Changsheng covered his eyes, only looking at them with one eye. Seeing that she was in trouble, she finally stopped and stopped showing her teeth and claws, and looked at her timidly.

The child also looked at her shyly.

Changsheng said, "Good children shouldn't fight. ”

Hexagram Liao's tears kept rolling in his eyes, so he was not aggrieved, "But my lantern is gone, and it was broken by him." ”

She touched the head of the hexagram and comforted, "I'll buy you another one tomorrow." ”

The child, who was about the same height as the hexagram, hung his head and apologized to her with some shyness, "Lu'er didn't mean it. ”

Gua Liao didn't accept it, kicked his feet and cried, "You just mean to come and steal my lantern, you thief, steal other people's things shamelessly." ”

Gua Liao was kicked so that his forehead was swollen, and the child named Lu'er was no better, and his face was scratched by Gua Liao. Changsheng took the wound medicine given to her by Chu Ban from the baggage, and wiped it a little on the forehead of the hexagram, but he didn't know if the mortal medicine also worked for the immortals.

She looked at the deer and wiped a little bit on his face, "Why do you want to take our lanterns?" ”

Lu'er said timidly, "I thought it was my lantern." ”

Guayao jumped up and said, "That's mine!" ”

Changsheng said, "The lantern of the hexagram was given to him by an aunt when we went to the street today. ”

Lu'er nodded, "I know. "After his lantern was gone, he searched the streets, and he saw it. Then he secretly followed them, and when he saw that they had all entered Jiang's Mansion, he thought that when they were all asleep at night, he would come in and get lanterns again. "But that's not my lantern, my lantern is made of daffodil petals in Ao'an Mountain, and it won't burn so easily."

So just now after the hexagram spitted fire and burned the lantern, he knew that he had made a mistake.

Changsheng asked, "Where did your lantern disappear, and when did you lose it?" ”

The deer shook her head.

It turned out that Lu'er had a sister who married far away to a fairy mountain in the southeast, because she was pregnant, it was inconvenient to go back to her parents' house, Lu'er's mother saw that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and she was afraid that her daughter would be homesick, so she asked Lu'er to send a hand-made lantern to the past. As a result, Lu'er grew so big, left home for the first time, and when he passed through the imperial capital, he saw the world of flowers and flowers in the world, and he only felt that everything was very novel and interesting.

He saw a lot of children chasing and playing games on the street, and for a while he was greedy for play, he turned into a child and mixed in and played in it.

It wasn't until sunset, when the children had gone home for dinner, that he realized that the lantern had been lost.

Hexagram Liao clapped his hands and said, "You deserve it." ”

Lu'er glared at the hexagram, and after glaring, her face became sad, "The lantern is gone, I can't go to my sister's, and I can't go home." If my mother knew that I had lost the lantern, she would have punished me. ”

He said, "Your mother will definitely beat your ass hard." It's like every time I do something wrong, my mother spanks me. "It's better to hit a hundred times so he's happy.

The deer burst into tears.

Changsheng was afraid of alarming the people in the mansion, so he hurriedly comforted, "Don't cry. ”

Lu'er couldn't stop it, Changsheng saw that he was pitiful, and said softly, "That's it, I'll help you find it too." ”

Lu'er looked at her with teary eyes and snorted vigorously, "Really? ”

Changsheng nodded, "Maybe it was picked up, but I have to wait until tomorrow when people come out to do business, and then go to the street to ask." You can stay here tonight and sleep with the hexagram. ”

Hexagram Liao didn't agree, "Don't." He jumped on the bed, obviously his hands and feet were short, and he couldn't even occupy half of the bed, and he had to lie down in a big shape and occupy the bed, "I hate him, I don't want to sleep with him." ”

"Hmph, I don't want to sleep with you either." Lu'er said to Changsheng shyly, "Thank you, sister." He walked to the corner and lay back on his stomach.

Changsheng sighed, at least these two little guys don't fight.

She took her own quilt from the bed and put it over Lu'er.
