Chapter 107: Burning Lantern Street

Ran Qiunian poured himself tea and ate a few more pastries, Xiao Yin said aloud: "It's enough to eat two pieces, you shouldn't eat too much at this time, beware of accumulating food." ”

She ate a lot of dinner, and the pastries were so sweet and greasy, seeing Xiao Yin say this, Ran Qiunian was not willful, obediently put down the pastries in her hand, only took a sip of tea, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Your brother and sister have a deep relationship." Qi Ruoyun saw that Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin got along so harmoniously, and he was quite emotional, he also had a few sisters, but they were stranger and more polite to each other than outsiders.

When those people saw him, they were either afraid or flattered, Qi Ruoyun had always been too lazy to pay attention to it, and he didn't bother to regard those concubines as his own family.

Of course, Ran Qiunian knew the cold temperament in Qi Ruoyun's bones, and he just smiled when he heard the words.

"How many pastries do you want to use?"

Ran Qiunian knew that Xiao Yin would never eat again after dinner, so he only asked Qi Ruoyun alone.

Qi Ruoyun naturally doesn't eat it, and he has never liked sweet and greasy food, Ran Qiunian vaguely remembers, but he doesn't think so. thought that Qi Ruoyun would refuse, but who knew that he actually nodded and said yes.

Ran Qiunian was a little stunned, and blurted out: "Don't you like to eat pastries?" ”

"How would Sister Nian'er know that I don't like pastries?"

Qi Ruoyun was even more surprised, but he didn't expect that Ran Qiunian was indifferent to herself on weekdays, but in fact, he even inquired about his preferences, which made Qi Ruoyun a little secretly happy.

But he was a little puzzled then, so he asked with a smile: "Since Sister Nian'er knows that I don't like pastries, why do you still ask me if I eat pastries?" ”

The moment Ran Qiunian just finished saying that, he immediately regretted it and wanted to cover his mouth.

It's a pity that it's too late, but fortunately, Qi Ruoyun didn't just think that he was secretly paying attention to him, and didn't think much about it, but this alone was enough for Ran Qiu's thoughts to have a headache.

It was not easy for her to clarify the misunderstanding that she agreed to go out to parade with Qi Ruoyun on the begging Yuan Festival, and now, she really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away.

"Because Nian'er thinks that the pastries in Tianxianglou taste very good, sweet but not greasy, thinking that people who don't like sweetness can feel a little good after eating it, so I asked."

Ran Qiunian racked his brains and could only give such a reply, and as soon as the words fell, he saw Qi Ruoyun laughing in a low voice, and the doting eyes made Ran Qiunian scream.

And Xiao Yin also glanced at her meaninglessly, Ran Qiunian was like a man's back for a while, taking advantage of Qi Ruoyun's lack of notice, he secretly looked at Xiao Yin's face, but he could only see a cold wolf mask, which covered the changes in expression on Xiao Yin's face tightly.

I knew that I would take off the mask for my eldest brother, Ran Qiunian secretly regretted it, but she didn't dare to mention the words of taking off the mask for Xiao Yin at this time.

"Since it's what Nian'er likes, it's definitely good."

Even if Qi Ruoyun never ate after lunch, with Ran Qiunian's words just now, he was willing to break this ring for her.

He sat down at the table in a good mood, took a thumb-sized piece of pastry from the plate that Ran Qiunian had eaten just now, and tasted it.

"How?"

Ran Qiunian stubbornly pretended not to notice the cold air on Xiao Yin's side, and looked at Qi Ruoyun who didn't know what he had misunderstood.

"Not bad."

Although Qi Ruoyun still didn't like the excessive sweetness in this pastry, because it was what Ran Qiunian was looking forward to sharing with him, he still praised it with a clear conscience.

Ran Qiu Nian saw that Qi Ruoyun hadn't moved since he ate a piece, and he didn't know how true or false his words were, so he could only choose to turn a blind eye to his eyes that seemed to contain affection.

Just as the atmosphere in the room was becoming more and more strange, brilliant fireworks suddenly exploded outside, Ran Qiunian's eyes lit up, grabbed the horse mask on the table and came to the window.

"The flower god parade is about to start, big brother, look."

Ran Qiunian greeted, and was attracted by the silver epiphany unfolding in the night, she quickly put the horse mask on her face, supported the windowsill with both hands, and looked at the fireworks that bloomed one after another above her head.

Qi Ruoyun saw that Ran Qiunian was fascinated, and he didn't care that this girl only called Xiao Yin's name, as if she was shy, her happy mood did not weaken in the slightest.

As the fireworks exploded, the streets below also burst into joyful music, and from the corner came a long procession of flower boats, dressed as flower goddesses, wearing flower masks and surrounded by lanterns in the center of the flower boats.

Ran Qiunian had never seen such a scene, and she was almost about to lean half of her body out of the window, Xiao Yin pulled her arm from behind and stopped the person back: "Beware of falling out." ”

Hearing Xiao Yin's words, Ran Qiunian smiled embarrassedly, stood up straight next to Xiao Yin, and stood behind the window and looked down in a proper manner, but Xiao Yin took a step to the side and distanced himself from Ran Qiunian.

Ran Qiunian felt a cold wind blowing from the place where the two were separated, and subconsciously wrapped her cloak and looked at Xiao Yin, who suddenly took a step back.

But the blue-faced and fanged wolf mask was just a crowd of people quietly moving downward, and the flickering fireworks hit the mask, making it even more difficult for Ran Qiunian to see the person behind the mask.

She wanted to ask Xiao Yin if she was angry, but Qi Ruoyun was on the other side, and Ran Qiunian couldn't speak.

For a while, even the fireworks in the sky and the lanterns that lit up one after another were inferior, and Ran Qiunian's whole mind was on Xiao Yin's body.

"Catch the thief! Stop him, someone has stolen the child! ”

There was a sudden commotion below, and with a terrible shout, the crowded crowd suddenly became chaotic, and the fleeing crowd rushed into the procession of the flower gods, breaking several lanterns.

The unextinguished spark in the lantern instantly burned all the remaining lanterns, and the fire rushed up all at once, and the girl who was sitting in the center of the flower boat and pretended to be a flower god suddenly shouted, and ripped off the flower mask with a frightened face, and was trapped in the paper flower boat burning on all sides.

The scene on the street was suddenly difficult to control, and seeing that a good festival was about to turn into a tragedy, Ran Qiunian shouted Xiao Yin anxiously.

Xiao Yin patted Ran Qiunian's shoulder comfortably, and the next moment he jumped down from the window on the second floor, rescued the girl who was trapped in the middle of the flower boat, and handed it over to an acquaintance who was traveling on the street together, and went to chase the thief who fished in troubled waters and kidnapped the child.

Seeing Xiao Yin save the girl who was almost burned to death, Ran Qiunian breathed a sigh of relief, and saw the crowd of people below who were messing up into a pot of porridge, the fire looked a little uncontrollable, but unfortunately it was windy tonight, and the poor lady who lost her child......

"Little grandfather, please also ask the little grandfather to help."

Ran Qiu couldn't care about the grievances with Qi Ruoyun, and seeing that Xiao Yin lacked skills, the only one left around her who could help was Qi Ruoyun.

"Nian'er, don't worry, I'm going to transfer the city guards to maintain order, but you're here alone, I'm a little worried."

Qi Ruoyun naturally wouldn't stay out of the matter, if it weren't for Ran Qiunian being here alone, he would have already gone out to transfer troops to control the situation.

"I'm in a good room on the second floor, as long as I don't go out, what's the danger? The little grandfather just left with confidence, it was too late, I was afraid that the fire would not be under control. ”

The fire is one thing, whether the panicked crowd below will trample on people is also what Ran Qiunian is extremely worried about.

Hearing her say this, Qi Ruoyun had no choice but to leave first, and told Ran Qiunian to stay in the private room on the second floor, not to go out at will, and to send her back to the house after he transferred the city guards.

Ran Qiunian naturally didn't agree.

The two people around him all left, and Ran Qiunian stood alone at the window looking at the chaos below, and could only be secretly worried in his heart.

Xiao Yin chased the kidnapper with the child all the way into the alley next to the street, turning around, and soon got away from the lantern street behind him.

Thinking that with Qi Ruoyun by Ran Qiunian's side, there should be no accident, so Xiao Yin continued to chase after the thief.

The thief was chased by Xiao Yin in a panic, if it weren't for a little understanding of the terrain, he was afraid that he would have been caught up a long time ago, seeing that the distance between the two parties was getting closer and closer, the strength of the thief's hand unconsciously increased, the child felt the pain, and immediately cried, making the thief even more anxious.

For a moment there was only the mournful cries of children and the panicked footsteps of thieves in the alley, and if he held on a little longer, he was just a little short of waiting for the support of his brothers.

Thinking of this, the thief gritted his teeth and carried the child tighter. The little idea of throwing the child away and running for his life was also replaced by greed.

"It's all come to this point, isn't it a bamboo basket to fetch water if you throw the goods away?" The thief gritted his teeth and sped up a few steps, and suddenly felt a cold wind hit the back of his head, and the next moment his hands were empty, but the man rolled and fell to the front with that force.

Xiao Yin picked up the child and looked condescendingly at the thief who had fallen into a mess.

"Brothers, don't come out and help!"

The thief was frightened by Xiao Yin's blue-faced fanged mask, and in this dim alley, standing in the backlight, for a while seemed to see Yan Luo's life, and immediately shouted at the top of his throat regardless of it.

Xiao Yin didn't expect this person to have accomplices? He put the child in the corner behind him, stood in front of him, and watched the seven or eight bandits with knives coming out of the other side of the alley.

"Knives?" Xiao Yin's eyes narrowed slightly, he could do a long knife in his hand, it seemed that he was not an ordinary little thief this time, and he was suddenly a little interested.

Seeing that Xiao Yin's body was not very strong, these people were alone, and they wore a mask that could not see their faces clearly, just as they were unlucky people who didn't open their eyes from somewhere, seven or eight strong men picked up the knife with silver light, and slowly approached Xiao Yin with bad intentions.

The next moment, he took it all down effortlessly.

Inevitably these people fled, Xiao Yin wasted the legs of several people one by one, and the wails of several bandits in the alley instantly overshadowed the child's cry, which made the child who was originally scared to cry stop crying and opened his eyes curiously.

Xiao Yin stretched out his hand to cover the child's eyes, not letting him see the tragic situation behind, he picked up the child, pressed his head on his shoulder, and didn't let him look around.

The kid probably knew that Xiao Yin had saved him, and he obediently didn't make a fuss, put his little head on Xiao Yin's shoulder, and soon fell asleep tired.
