CHAPTER XX
Twenty chapters
Ye Changsheng looked at the crowd coming and going with a bleak face, what about Brother Chu? Where is Brother Chu?
He was crowded into a small corner of the street by the crowd, squeezing the sugar gourd in his hand at a loss, and his heart was so panicked that if it weren't for his desperate efforts to calm himself, he might have cried on the street.
His appearance of a little white rabbit with six gods and no owner was quickly remembered by those who had a heart. Although his face is average, but looking at his clothes, he is well-dressed, and he has the style of a well-raised son, if he robs him, he should be able to get a lot of good things.
"Why is this little brother here alone?" A person who had been secretly observing for a long time had the courage to come forward and start abducting people after confirming that this stupid little fat sheep was ownerless.
"I'll wait for someone." Ye Changsheng replied honestly.
"Are you separated from your family? Oh, it's not easy for this person to come and go, and listening to the little boy's accent, he's a foreigner, right? It's even harder to find. ”
Hearing him say this, Ye Changsheng's face became even more miserable.
Seeing that he really showed a frightened expression, the thief became even bolder: "Why don't I take you to find it?" I'm familiar with the area, so it's no problem to find someone. ”
Ye Changsheng hesitated for a while, but still shook his head firmly: "No, I'll just wait here, Brother Chu will definitely find me." ”
Seeing that he didn't take the bait, the man increased his firepower: "There are too many people here, your friend may not be able to find you, not to mention, he may have run away to other places." ”
"Yet, still no, I can't run around, thank you." Ye Changsheng thought about it again and refused, he believed that as long as he waited here, Chu Liuxiang would always have a way to find him, and he had this confidence for no reason.
I didn't expect this little rabbit to be so vigilant, and the thief was a little sorry and wanted to stop there. But as soon as he saw a piece of jade hanging on his waist, he knew that it was a high-quality product when he saw the color, and he was a little reluctant.
I looked back at the crowded and noisy crowd, thinking that I would grab something and drill into the pile of people later, and the powerless boy couldn't catch himself.
Just as he mustered up the courage to reach out and grab the piece of jade, he suddenly stretched out a hand and pinched his arm, with such force that it almost crushed the bones, making him cry out in pain.
Ye Changsheng thought that Chu Liuxiang was coming, and looked up happily, but saw another face.
The man said coldly: "Robbing in the street, you are not small. With that, he let go of his hand and threw the man out of the crowd.
Ye Changsheng came to his senses at this time, and quickly touched his waist to confirm that the jade pendant was still there, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thank you." I didn't expect the person who talked to me halfway to rob it, if it wasn't for this person's shot, maybe the jade pendant given by my mother would have really been snatched away.
The person who came was very tall, and Ye Changsheng had to tilt his head slightly to see him clearly. He didn't look very old, but his hair was half white, and his sword eyebrows were handsome, but his expression was cold, and he looked a little annoying.
"It's nothing, it's just a matter of hand." The man nodded slightly, turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he was grabbed by the hem of his clothes.
When he looked back, he saw that the young man looked at him with a somewhat shy and uneasy expression, and suddenly let go of the hand that was holding his clothes and shook his head, and his head fell again.
Glancing at the already pasted sugar gourd in the child's hand, and then at his pitiful and helpless appearance, he turned away without saying a word.
Ye Changsheng originally just subconsciously grabbed the hem of that person's clothes, wanting to tell him that he was a little afraid, but suddenly remembered that he was not Brother Chu, so he let go of his hand in frustration.
He hid in place and waited for a while, but he didn't expect that the person who had helped him just now turned back and appeared in his previous year.
Looking at the red sugar gourd in front of him in a daze, Ye Changsheng looked at it for a long time.
The person holding the sugar gourd saw that he didn't answer it for a long time, frowned lightly and asked, "You don't like it?" "Obviously, I saw him scared just now, and he still grabbed it and didn't let go.
"Oh...... Thank you. Ye Changsheng took it blankly, not understanding why he suddenly came back and brought himself a string of sugar gourds.
"What's your name?" He took a bite before he remembered that he hadn't asked for their names.
The man gave him a cold look, but did not leave again, but stood silently beside him, as if to protect him.
"My name is Yang Guo."
It turned out that his name was Yang Guo.
"Yang Daxia, thank you." Ye Changsheng stuffed a hawthorn ball in his mouth and said that he could also see that this kind big brother was going to accompany him, so he didn't seem to be so afraid.
This person named Yang Guo was dressed very strangely, one sleeve seemed to be empty, light and fluttering. Ye Changsheng couldn't help but keep peeking and couldn't figure it out.
"I only have one hand." Yang Guo saw his thoughts and said it directly.
Ye Changsheng stopped gnawing on the sugar gourd, "I'm sorry......" He didn't expect that he was secretly looking at others and was discovered, and he was very ashamed.
Yang Guo shook his head, "It's okay." ”
Yang Guo just passed by and glanced at it casually, and saw Ye Changsheng, who was squeezed into the corner and was easy to slaughter at a glance, at first he just looked at it twice, thinking that he was a bit like an aunt in some places, and he was innocent and ignorant of the world.
Later, when he saw someone with ill intentions approaching him, and he was still unaware, he was a little soft-hearted. When he saw that the man could not be abducted and wanted to rob, he immediately shot the man out.
Originally...... Originally, it was really easy, but seeing that he pitifully dragged himself, he was inexplicably soft. If his dragon cowered on the side of the road like this, he also hoped that someone would help her.
He was silent thinking about his own business, and the two of them were a little embarrassed until Chu Liuxiang came over.
"Changsheng!"
Chu Liuxiang was almost crazy, and rushed up and took the person into his arms. Just now he let go of his hand in a hurry, but he didn't expect to disappear as soon as he came back, and Chu Liuxiang, who has always been known for his elegance and calmness, couldn't control his image, and the whole person became impatient, extremely regretful for his recklessness at that time.
Fortunately, he didn't run around, obediently waiting for himself in this place, and fortunately he didn't lose him.
"Brother Chu......" was hugged into his arms again, Ye Changsheng's eyes were also red, although they had only been separated for less than an hour, but he missed this faint tulip fragrance very much, nothing could be more reassuring than this.
"It's this Yang Daxia......" Ye Changsheng struggled out of Chu Liuxiang's embrace, wanting to show him this person who was kind enough to help him, but turned his head to find that the person didn't know when he had left.
"What's wrong?" Chu Liuxiang followed his gaze, but saw nothing.
"Just now, a hero named Yang Guo has been with me, and he also beat away a thief who wanted to rob me, but he is gone." Ye Changsheng muttered to himself.
"It's okay, if it's fate, I'll see you again in the future." Chu Liuxiang comforted him, "By the way, do you see that this lantern is the same as the one you like?" ”
Ye Changsheng looked down at the lotus lamp that Chu Liuxiang took out, in fact, this was still a little different from the one he wanted. But he saw that Chu Liuxiang had run so far and walked for so long in order to buy him an identical one, and his eyes were a little wet.
"It's the same." He nodded and lied, and carefully held the lotus lantern in his arms, "Brother Chu is really amazing." ”
Chu Liuxiang was relieved and patted his head, "I will definitely help you do what I promised." ”
When the sky gets dark, all kinds of lanterns are hung on both sides of the street, and tourists are also carrying their own selected lamps in their hands, which brightly illuminates this small Ping'an County.
Ye Changsheng was tightly held by Chu Liuxiang, walking in the crowd with his lotus lantern in his right hand, feeling the laughter and frolic of others, feeling as if he was in a dream, he had never had such an experience.
Chu Liuxiang originally wanted to take him to the river to put out the lights, but there were too many people there, so he simply took him to another small lake with fewer people.
Ye Changsheng carefully put the lit lotus lamp into the water, watched it drift away along the flowing water, folded his hands and closed his eyes to make a wish.
May the gods bless my Ye family safely through this catastrophe, and may Ping'an County really bless us safely.
When he opened his eyes, the lotus lantern that belonged to him was already floating out of sight with his full wishes. This is the fundamental reason why he is willing to stay a few more days after hearing about the Lantern Festival.
Listening to Brother Chu, the Lantern Festival in Ping'an County is very spiritual.
"It's a pity it's not the one I fell in love with in the first place." Ye Changsheng sighed.
"What?" Chu Liuxiang also put out his own lamp and turned around to ask him.
"My mother said that the lotus flower is related to the Buddha, and it will be very smooth to make a wish to the Buddha through the lotus, and the things I like at first sight are often the most spiritual, and maybe I can also fulfill my wishes." He looked at the calm lake with some sadness and whispered.
"Brother Chu, no matter what happens in the future, I will always remember today. Thank you for taking me to see the lanterns. ”
Chu Liuxiang didn't understand why this child, who had always been innocent and innocent, would show such sadness that was not in line with his age, "I had a wish just now, do you know what it is?" ”
Ye Changsheng looked over and kept looking into Chu Liuxiang's eyes.
Chu Liuxiang's eyes reflected the starry sky, with a shallow smile.
"I wish, this lovely young man next to me, can do whatever my heart wants."
"No matter what you think, Brother Chu will help you."
Ye Changsheng's eyes blurred, he was not so cowardly and wanted to cry, but after leaving home for so long, he was really tired and tired all the way down pretending to be strong all the way.
Chu Liuxiang actually met him in Pingshui, but he always appeared when he needed someone to accompany him the most.
"Why are you crying?" Chu Liuxiang stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on Ye Changsheng's face, "Are you tired?" ”
"Brother Chu...... Woo wow...... "Ye Changsheng finally couldn't help but hug Chu Liuxiang and buried himself in his arms and cried.
The uneasiness and fear that he had been buried deep in his heart since the first day he left Yefu, the loneliness and panic that no one had to tell him about, all vented out.
Weep for his sorrow, cry for his sorrow, cry for all his pain.
Although Chu Liuxiang didn't understand why this child suddenly hugged him and cried, he understood that Changsheng regarded him as his only support at this time.
His heart was completely tilted towards this child, and he did not hesitate at all.
There were lively crowds all around, young men and women were shy and joyful in conveying their love under the light of the crowd, only in the lonely corner, Ye Changsheng cried loudly in Chu Liuxiang's arms.
I was so tired from crying that the crowd gradually dispersed, and only a lonely river lamp was left by the river.
Chu Liuxiang carried Ye Changsheng, who was lying in his arms and no longer crying, and walked back step by step in the silver light of the moonlight.
"Brother Chu, will you abandon me?" Ye Changsheng asked in a low voice.
"No, it won't." Chu Liuxiang replied, "Even if Tianjia comes to pick you up, Brother Chu will still come to see you in the future." ”
Ye Changsheng was silent for a while, and then asked again, "Then what if I die?" ”
Chu Liuxiang stopped, "Don't talk nonsense, with me, you will only live happily." ”
Ye Changsheng listened, hugged Chu Liuxiang's neck, and cried silently.
However, if the Ye family falls, I will be buried for the Ye family......
Chu Liuxiang knew what the young man on his back was enduring alone, and he vaguely sensed that he seemed to be carrying some huge heavy secret.
In the end, what secrets are hidden in that mysterious "Pingzhou"?
