Xiao Ding had been practicing in the inn for almost a day, and in the evening, he remembered the invitation of King Mu Song Yinzi, and thought, why hasn't this King Mu come to find him yet?

Just thinking about it in his heart, he heard a movement outside, and more than twenty guards entered the inn first, and then Song Yinzi came to the door of Xiao Ding's room on the second floor.

Xiao Ding had already heard the movement, opened the door and stood at the door, and when he saw Song Yinzi coming, he stepped forward to greet him.

"Brother Tian, you're finally back, I came to see you a few days ago, and you haven't come back yet!" Song Yinzi saw Xiao Ding standing at the door to greet him, so he took the initiative to greet him.

"I just came back yesterday, thank you for the gift!" Xiao Ding said with his fists clenched.

"Brother Tian, you don't know how worried I was after you fell off the cliff that day. When I heard that you had fallen, I scolded the shitty bunch and then asked them to rope down to save you. Song Yinzi said with a worried and frightened look.

"Thank you King Mu for your concern, fortunately, the foolish brother had a big life and escaped. Now it's safe and sound. Thinking of what he had suffered that day, Xiao Ding still had palpitations, and he suddenly remembered that he still had a Red Refining Flame Fruit left. I shouldn't be able to eat this fruit in a short period of time, and if I want to eat it, I have to wait for the exercises to stabilize before eating it.

However, Xiao Ding had heard Yue Yurou say that it would be better to store such divine herbs and divine fruits in a jade box, and it could be stored for a longer time, but he didn't have a jade box. This King Mu gave himself two gifts, but he didn't send a jade box over.

So Xiao Ding decided to take advantage of today's opportunity to ask Song Yinzi for a jade box, there will definitely be no shortage of this thing in their palace. Thinking of this, Xiao Ding opened his mouth and said: "I don't know if the virtuous brother can have a jade box, can I give one to the foolish brother, the foolish brother I have a big use." ”

"Brother Tian, what do you want the jade box for? Of course I have the jade box, and I'll ask them to go to the car to help you get one. Song Yinzi said without hesitation.

"I was thinking that if I encountered something that was not easy to preserve in the future, I could use a jade box to hold it." Xiao Ding lied to him. Of course, he wouldn't say that he intended to use it to store the Red Refining Flame Fruit. If this news spreads, then I don't have to live. The people in the rivers and lakes will find it.

"You go to the car to see if you can spare a few jade boxes, and then bring them over to Brother Tian for me." Song Yinzi commanded to his guards.

The guard said yes and went out. It didn't take long for him to walk in with two jade boxes.

Song Yinzi took the two jade boxes and handed them to Xiao Ding, and said, "Brother Tian, you see if these two jade boxes are enough, if they are not enough, I will let them go back to the house to get them." ”

"Enough, enough, thank you Brother Mu!" Xiao Ding took the jade box and clenched his fists again and again.

"Brother Tian, you don't have to be polite, you are even willing to give me something as valuable as a Lianzhu crossbow, what is it for me to give my eldest brother two jade boxes!" Song Yinzi said with a full look.

Xiao Ding put the jade box on the table, and then said, "Then, let's go out to see the lanterns together!" ”

When the two came to the door, Xiao Ding suddenly found that in addition to the carriage that Song Yinzi usually sat in, there was also a luxury carriage next to the inn, and judging by the degree of luxury, it was no worse than Song Yinzi's car.

Xiao Ding was puzzled, and said in his heart, didn't Song Yinzi come alone today?

Seeing Xiao Ding's puzzled face, Song Yinzi hurriedly explained: "In that car is my dearest ninth sister, she heard that I was going out to see the lanterns today, so she also wanted to come out and make trouble." ”

Xiao Ding nodded, didn't speak, and said in his heart that King Mu's ninth sister is estimated to not be too low. At least it has to be a county lord or something.

At this time, Song Yinzi shouted towards the carriage: "Ninth sister, Tian Engong is out, don't you get out of the car to see Tian Engong?" ”

"Okay!" With an extremely beautiful woman's voice, the curtain of the car door was opened, and two maids jumped down first, and then helped a noble lady in a gorgeous Luo skirt to get out of the car. That young lady is noble, her face is very beautiful, she is enchanting, and she is thick and fine. Every move is quite temperamental, and at first glance it is a very well-cultivated lady.

The young lady, who was called the ninth sister by Song Yinzi, came to the two of them, fluttered with great blessings, and said: "Thank you Tian Engong for saving my twelfth brother, Jiu'er is so polite!" "The sound is beautiful and beautiful, like a yellow bird singing willows, and like a spring water.

Seeing that this woman was so beautiful, Xiao Ding had a feeling of "this woman should only be in the sky, just like a fairy falling into the mortal world". Looking at her words and deeds, every move, Xiao Ding suddenly felt that there was only the sentence in Cao Zijian's "Luo Shen Fu": "It seems to be like a light cloud covering the moon, and fluttering like the snow of the wind." Only then can I express the beauty of the woman in front of me.

Seeing this Song Jiu Mei bowing and thanking her, Xiao Ding hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Sister Xian doesn't have to be polite, I just met by chance that day." Please don't be polite! ”

At this time, Song Yinzi hurriedly said on the side: "Everyone is not an outsider, so there is no need to be so polite." Ninth sister, did you bring the crossbow arrow I gave you? That's what Tian Engong gave me to endure the pain, and when you look at the lights later, you must bring it with you, and you can take precautions in case you encounter bad guys. ”

"Okay, Brother Twelve, the crossbow arrow is on the car, I've been practicing very accurately in the past few days!" Song Jiumei said in a voice.

Xiao Ding suddenly found that although this woman was beautiful, there was a faint trace of sorrow between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Song Jiumei returned to the car, Xiao Ding also followed Song Yinzi into his carriage, and fifty or sixty guards protected him all the way, heading towards the central street of Zhongzhou City.

When they arrived at the central street, everyone got out of the carriage and walked all the way to watch the lights.

On this street tonight, there are lights and shadows everywhere, all kinds of lanterns, row upon row, all over the street. Many shops have set up activities to guess lantern riddles with prizes. Some literati gathered together and racked their brains to guess the lantern riddles.

There are also a lot of people who come to watch the lanterns tonight. Shoulder to shoulder, bustling, crowded.

Song Yinzi led Xiao Ding and Song Jiumei to the highest building in the city center, this building is called Moon Tower, with a total of five floors, which is already a very high building in this era.

A few people came to the platform on the fifth floor, holding the railing and looking at the street, only to see, the moon shadow is flickering, the lights are flickering, the figure is swaying, the willow branches on the street are swaying, I don't know when, the willow branches have been yellowed, obviously, the day in the south of the Yangtze River came relatively early!

Xiao Ding looked at it from afar, saw this scene, and couldn't help but think of his hometown, remembered his family, after the war, he couldn't go home to celebrate the New Year with his family, and became the biggest regret in Xiao Ding's heart. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. Then, he remembered that he had traveled to this world for several months, and he didn't know what happened to Qing'er who he had been thinking about for a long time, and whether she was also celebrating this Lantern Festival at this moment?

Thinking of Qing'er in my heart, Qing'er suddenly appeared in front of me! Xiao Ding suddenly saw a woman's shadow walking by on the street downstairs, who was it not Qing'er?

Xiao Ding shouted: "Qing'er! ”

But the street was full of people, and the figure was not heard. Walked into the crowd and was never found again.

Xiao Ding stood there dumbfounded, crying without tears!

This is exactly what it is:

At the beginning of Hua Ni, the shadow sparsely staggered. Nostalgia, jade pot turn. At the beginning of the light cold and steep material, the orchid and willows are like smoke. Some people get drunk, some wake up, some sleep.

I also thought that I would take the wind and go. I once thought that I would hold my hand to the edge of the sky. It's just that it's hard to hate. Fireworks do not understand the suffering of fools, and it is difficult to know the grievances of people. The lamp is also round, the moon is also round, and the people are not round.

PS: The last poem "The Highest Building Yuan Xi" was written on the night of the Lantern Festival in 2017.
