Chapter 69: Lotus Lantern
The river is actually not very far from the house, it is only a fifteen minute walk, and the country road is always difficult to walk at night. The road of Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Kuhe Village is straight and straight, but out of the avenue or to wear a few ridge roads, the big trees along the road during the day can shade and block the rain, and at night in the eyes of people who do not walk at night, there is a little different color.
The three little babies who were walking in front of people with majesty and high spirits a moment ago, suddenly there was no sound behind them, only their own voices and frogs, goosebumps all over their bodies rose, a cool breeze on their backs, and each other's hands were about to be scratched. The black canopy, under the shadow of the moonlight, formed all kinds of strange shadows, and in the darkness they opened their teeth and danced their claws, and the teeth of the three babies began to fight, looking around to find their own people. Where can you see the figure in the dark, the cool breeze blows, and the shadow of the tree is constantly changing, ahhh
Even Shui Die, who is almost thirty years old, was frightened by such an atmosphere. It's too quiet, except for his own voice, it's the sound of the wind, the black shadow, even the moon is blocked, and the whole person seems to be sucked into a black hole on his back.
The three of them threw themselves into Shui Qing's arms at once, stomping their feet and not reluctantly, insisting that they would have nightmares tonight. In fact, these are all ancient ghosts, depending on the courage of the three little guys in front of them, how long they can last, so that Shui Qing and Yingzi are silent, slow down, and only realize that something is wrong when they are almost twenty meters. After this time, the three babies no longer dared to rush forward, holding the hands of the adults obediently silent, no matter how they teased, they couldn't lift their spirits.
Not far after I walked out, I heard a voice in front of me, it was the Song family next door who was also preparing to go to the river to put lights, and there were more **** couples and Song Xiaobao, naughty mischiefs, and it didn't take long for them to start lively again.
In the afterglow of the moon, a group of people set off towards the Agate River. It's a pity that it's night, and I can't find the agate stone, Die'er thought to herself. The agate stone given by the sister-in-law was worn all the time during the full moon, and after the rope was broken, the butterfly re-braided the rope and wore it around her waist. The red and shining stones reflect the white skin, which is indescribably beautiful. Xiao Lu also said that it was good-looking, so Die'er pondered to find a time to go to the river to find a good-looking one and make one for Xiao Lu.
After a while, there were more and more people, more and more lively, and some people on the roadside had even begun to sell melon seeds and popsicles. One by one, the children gathered in front of the stalls, and the adults couldn't walk no matter how they scolded them, and those with better families would spend a dime to buy bags of melon seeds or popsicles to satisfy the children's hunger. At this time, the child with the snack was like a general returning from victory, holding his head high, slowly knocking melon seeds and licking sweet popsicles.
Song Xiaobao couldn't move anymore, and he didn't say he wanted to, he just looked at the things in other people's hands and didn't move. Seeing that her son was hungry like that, Meng Xian quickly pushed ****** and took a dime from his pocket and gave it to him, "Go." ”
Song Xiaobao, who was ordered, was so happy that he ran out, and suddenly remembered that there were three other friends. turned back to Lalin Yi, "Let's go, let's buy melon seeds, and the four of us will eat together." ”
"You go, I won't go. Sister Die'er is waiting for you here, I don't like to eat melon seeds, thank you. After speaking, he pulled Die'er and turned around to follow Shui Qing.
Hearing Lin Yi say no, Song Xiaobao didn't think too much, after all, melon seeds are more attractive.
"Look at your children, when you see food, you don't have a greedy mouth, that kid in our family~~" Meng Xian saw that Shui Die'er and Xiaolu would also go to see it, but she just looked at it curiously and turned around and muttered, not wanting to pester adults to buy anything at all. Lin Yi ignored it even more, all his attention was on Sister Die'er, he had to participate in any topic, where could he take care of melon seeds and popsicles.
Yingzi smiled and said nothing, her two children were very well-behaved and never asked for snacks and new clothes, but parents are always proud of their children's sensibility, and they also blame themselves for not being able to provide better living conditions for their children.
always said that mother and daughter are connected, Die'er seemed to sense Yingzi's emotions, took the hands of her parents and urged: "Hurry up, there are more and more people, and there will be no good position later." ”
When night falls, the full moon rises in the east, men, women and children gather on the embankment of the Onyx River from all directions to see the lights, or put the lights, which is already very lively at this time.
Some people carried the lamps in boats, and some put them by the river, praying for the blessings of the river gods, reciting prayers, and surpassing the lonely souls and ghosts. Gently place a lit lotus lantern on the surface of the river and push it away. At first, it was a line of drifting down the river, bumping up and down, then slowly drifting downstream, gradually spreading out, taking up most of the river's surface.
Finally, Shui Qing's family took a place by the river. The bright moon came out, the stars came out, the bright crystal up close, the red shining from afar, the water sparkling, the river lanterns fluttering, and the reflection trembled. At the end of the sky and water, the lights and stars become one.
Die'er and her two friends urged Shui Qing to quickly take out the lotus lamp in the burden, light the candle, gently put it on the water, and put their palms together to pray for blessings. Lotus lamps lit up the entire river, and the light that reflected back illuminated the mood of the praying.
Watching the lotus lantern full of his wishes gradually drift into the distance, his heart will be full of expectations this year. It didn't take long for everyone to get up after putting off the lights, only Lin Yi still closed his eyes and prayed.
After a while, when Lin Yi stood up, everyone was curious: "How many wishes have you made?" Do people remember the lotus god? ”
"I just made three wishes, why can't I remember them?" Lin Yi was anxious.
"Three of you for so long? What are you all promised? Old man Gu teased.
"Am I afraid that the lotus god is too busy to remember? I told it a few more times, but I couldn't say it, and if I said it, it wouldn't be bright. Lin Yi covered his head and put it away, afraid of eating chestnuts.
In the laughter of everyone, the lotus lantern also ushered in the most lively moment. There is a series of activities after the lotus lantern, everyone can participate, and there are small gifts after winning, although it is not expensive, everyone mainly wants to be fresh and lively.
Butterfly, Little Green and Lin Yi were like loaches in the crowd, drilling around flexibly and actively participating in various activities. In the lotus seed peeling competition, our Lin Yi children were pushed as contestants by Die'er and Xiaolu, and they were ready to show their hands. But who knows, the slippery lotus seed was not obedient in his hand, and when he tried hard, he ran away from his fingers; If it is light, the skin is not broken; Finally, at Xiaolu's suggestion, bite with your teeth, that astringent, that bitter. The rich expressions made the people around laugh, and when the referee shouted to stop, the other players were all white and red beads falling on the jade plate, and a few scars in front of Lin Yi were gnawed by tender teeth, and some even leaked lotus rice with lotus hearts.
Although he didn't get a noun in the end, the referee awarded him a best performance award, Lin Yi grinned happily and took back the trophy, a puppet lotus canopy, and held it up in front of Die'er, "Sister Die'er, give it to you!" ”
ps: The front is all short in the parents, I hope everyone will not be too long-winded, Die'er is ready to start making money~~~
