On the first day after the second dragon raised its head in February, it was also the day of the big market in Chishuihe Town.

After lunch, Tu Zhen and Lei Lei went to the market more than ten kilometers away, originally the two invited Yunyi to go together, but Yunyi didn't want to be a light bulb, besides, he still had something to do in the afternoon!

The two walked hand in hand, buying a large number of snacks at various stalls all the way, holding a bowl of wontons in their left hand, a pot cake in their right hand, and chewing sesame cakes in their mouths.

Both of them had little interest in the opera and performances on the street stage, and only concentrated on eating and drinking. It didn't take long for the two of them to continue eating, because there were still a lot of delicious things to taste, but the objective conditions did not allow it, and there was no room for anything in their stomachs, and the food was about to regurgitate into their throats.

So the two had to end this food trip regrettably, but even if they couldn't eat it at the moment, they could buy it back and start again later when their stomachs emptied the place. The performance on the venue continued, and the surrounding crowd was watching the performance on the stage with relish, but Tu Zhen and the others were preparing to go back to Hegu Village.

Yun Yi looked at the time, and before he knew it, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, he took out some tools from the room, and took out some things, "crackling" as if he was making something.

Tu Zhen and Lei Lei each returned to the mid-level platform with two large bags of snacks, although Tu Zhen was stronger, but they bought a bit too much, and Tu Zhen alone couldn't take them all, so Lei Lei also became a porter.

The two of them put down the things in their hands, their whole bodies were drenched in sweat, squeezing around in such a crowded crowd, and it was strange that they didn't sweat!

Seeing Yun Yi who was busy, Tu Zhen said hello to Yun Yi, then took Lei Lei into the room and took the bath supplies to the hot spring on the other side of the bamboo building, ready to go to the hot spring.

When Tu Zhen and Lei Lei came back from soaking in the hot springs, they saw confetti tools all over the ground, so they asked, "Taro, what are you going to do?" Is it that the table and chair are broken and need to be repaired? ”

Yun Yi didn't stop what he was doing, he was still working hard, "No, today is the first day after the dragon raised his head, and there is a custom of putting river lanterns on this day in our river valley village, I am going to make a river lantern and wait to put it on the stone bridge of the Qingshui River." ”

"Put the river lantern?!" Tu Zhen and Lei Lei were immediately interested, "This is a fun thing!" Taro, you teach me how to do it, and I want to make two of them and play with them. ”

"The zuò lantern is not made for fun! It is made to pray for the safety of one's loved ones, make wishes, and blessings, and if you want to play, you might as well play with other things. Yun Yi corrected.

"Okay, I'm wrong, okay! Isn't it playing, I also make a wish-making river lantern to make a wish! Tu Zhen changed his words.

"Brother Taro, help me make one too!" Lei Lei said pleadingly.

"You can't find someone to do this for you, otherwise there will be no sincerity!" Yunyi said helplessly.

"That's it...!" Lei Lei's face was like a lost face.

"Actually, it's very simple to do this, I'll teach you, and I'll do it soon." Seeing Lei Lei's lost look, Yun Yi hurriedly said.

The boat lamp is not difficult to make, mainly to cut out a palm-sized board or wood chip, to level the one that can float on the water, as the bottom of the boat, and at the same time use multicolored paper to make the hull, light a candle in the middle, and a simple ship lamp is ready.

In the case of a river lantern that makes a wish, a small slip of paper with a wish written on it is attached, and in the case of a river lantern that is blessed or prayed, the name of the person to whom the blessing is prayed and the blessing are written, as well as the blessing word, are written on the small note.

After a while, Yunyi taught Tu Zhen and Lei Lei, and under Yunyi's guidance, the two slowly made the boat lights. Although it is a little simple, it is not as simple as the handicrafts made of machine qì in the market, but these are made by hand, which can better express their emotions and reflect their care for their loved ones.

As soon as it was done, Tu Zhen and Lei Lei couldn't wait to go to the river and put the finished river lanterns.

Seeing that they couldn't wait, Yun Yi had no choice but to tell them to wait until about nine o'clock in the evening, when it was completely dark, to go to the Qingshui River to put river lanterns.

After cleaning up the pieces of paper and sawdust in the yard, it was time for dinner, and at the dinner table, Lei Lei asked the old man about the custom of putting river lanterns in Hegu Village.

"Grandpa Yun, is there any meaning to the river lanterns in Hegu Village?" Lei Lei asked.

Seeing Lei Lei asking, the old man also told them.

In the past, Hegu Village was very poor, and the roads in Jiajia were not smooth, and many people who went out might only come back once a year, and their relatives didn't know how good they were to live outside! It's still bad, so it's this day of the year! The people of the village, they wrote their blessings and wishes on small slips of paper, put them on a wooden board, and floated away with the river. I hope that my loved ones in the distant country will be healthy and safe, and that they will return home early to reunite with their families.

After listening to the old man's story, it was obvious that Tu Zhen and Lei Lei didn't put their minds on dinner, and after eating dinner in a hurry, the two began to write a small note to make a wish.

When the sky was completely dark, Yun Yi led Tu Zhen and Lei Lei to the river side of the Qingshui River.

As soon as I reached the stairs of the platform in the middle of the mountain, I saw a bright light like a fire dragon under the mountain in the distance, winding out of the village, slowly approaching the river, which was the crowd of people in the village who had come out of their homes to put river lanterns on the river.

The flow of this section of the Qingshui River near the village is relatively slow, a small river lamp, carrying a sincere blessing, slowly drifting into the distance with the flowing water, the river lantern one after another, on the night, like the stars suspended in the Milky Way, as bright and dazzling, forming a flowing river of lights.

There are already people putting boat lights here in Shiqiao, there are half-sized children who are a few years old or teenagers, there are also young people like Yunyi, and there are also middle-aged and elderly people, who are either putting boat lights, or chasing the lights on the riverbank, or silently praying for blessings. But without exception, they all had sincere and pious expressions on their faces.

Yun Yi, Tu Zhen, and Lei Lei also came to the river silently, took out a lighter to light the candle, and then gently put the boat in their hands into the flowing river.

The boat drifted slowly away with the river and down. The boat lamp they made was quite sturdy, not sunk by the river, and the candlelight flickered and flickered, nor was it extinguished, and gradually moved away from the shore and flowed downstream.

None of them spoke, just looked at the flickering candlelight on the river, and their minds drifted into the distance, to the place where the blessing came.
