After all, the River Lantern Festival only comes once a year, so the vendors who gather on both sides of the river to sell river lanterns, eat food, and some gadgets are even more full of Qingqi people who come to the river to pray for the living and mourn for the deceased. If you abandon the ride on foot, you will not be unable to drive, and once such a behemoth as a horse-drawn carriage is involved, it will not only be a trouble to turn around, but even the driving will be restricted.

Therefore, when Cangxuan was about to get to the river, he got out of the car with Sima Ming, after all, it was separated from the event venue by a street, although the street did not occupy the venue and pedestrians, but compared to the noise in the distance, this place was more comfortable and quiet, and you could feel a breeze blowing from afar.

In fact, Sima Ming has also been to the River Lantern Festival a few times, but it is only accompanied by Wei Qin and Wei Sheng, she feels that it is not interesting except to hang out and watch people release river lanterns, it is not as interesting as her to find a place to listen to the play, Cang Xuan, who has come to the River Lantern Festival side by side with her over the years, is the first, although she walks like this, but the accident is not half boring.

Sima Ming looked at Cang Xuan with some curiosity and asked, "I haven't asked Brother Cang Xuan why he wants to come to see the River Lantern Festival?" ”

Cang smiled and said, "Didn't Master Hou say that he wanted me to repay the hand that was crushed by me?" If I feel inappropriate to invite Hou Ye to drink a meal again, and I feel that the sincerity is not enough to send a painting, I really don't think about what Hou Ye lacks, it just so happens that I have never seen the River Lantern Festival, and Hou Ye might as well accommodate me. ”

Sima Ming "....."

What kind of crooked reasoning is this, the strange thing is that she doesn't feel angry, but has doubts, she is the first time she has seen people who have never seen the river lantern festival, "The Kyoto River Lantern Festival will not release river lanterns?" ”

"Yes, but I haven't seen it before, but I've heard that every important festival there are people who put river lanterns in the moat of Kyoto, and there is a candle in the colorful lotus lantern, and those who miss their loved ones and mourn the dead will write blessings and names on the lanterns, and put them in the water and flow down the water, so that they can send their thoughts to distant places."

"I heard?" Sima Ming was even more shocked, although most of the people who lived in Kyoto were either rich or expensive, but they didn't know that a river lantern festival was all about hearing about it.

"Hmm." Cang Xuan answered softly, when he was a child, he wanted to go but couldn't get out of the palace, and when he grew up, he could only go but only mourned the dead.

Sima Ming suddenly felt that Cangxuan was a little miserable, and looked at Cangxuan with pity: "Since Brother Cangxuan has never seen him, then I will take you to have a good time today." ”

Cang Xuan chuckled, "Okay." ”

Suddenly, the corner of his eye swept to the people who had been following them for a long time, and those people saw Cang Xuan's side head and turned into pedestrians in an instant, but because the reaction was too violent, it attracted Cang Xuan's attention, and the phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, these people really didn't give up.

"Huh? What's wrong? Sima Ming noticed that Cang Xuan's gaze had been behind him all the time, turned his head sideways, and the people walked in several directions in a panic.

Cang Xuan retracted his gaze and said indifferently: "It's okay, I suddenly saw a few mice." ”

"Mouse!!" Sima Ming's face was full of fear, and he almost jumped up. "Which... Where? ”

Cang Xuan looked at her flustered appearance and sneered, "Let's go." ”

"Oh." Sima Ming exhaled, and suddenly remembered his appearance in front of Cangxuan just now, and coughed lightly: "Actually, I'm not afraid of mice." ”

"yes, I know." Cang Xuan agreed.

Sima Ming looked at his expression and didn't see that he knew at all, but Yong'an Hou's face couldn't be lost, "I'm really not afraid, which big man have you ever seen who is afraid of this." ”

Cang Xuan didn't expose her, and echoed: "I really haven't seen a big man who is still afraid of mice." ”

Sima Ming always felt that his words were weird, but he couldn't say anything strange for a while, suddenly his wrist was warm, and a bony hand grabbed his wrist, Sima Ming was stunned, and the two men in the court held hands, isn't it...

Cangxuan's voice suddenly sounded in Sima Ming's ears: "I'm not familiar with this place, and there are too many people here, so it's really hard to find being scattered by the group."

Sima Ming was a little embarrassed, it turned out that he was pulling himself because he was afraid of being rushed up, remembering that he had said that he wanted to take Cangxuan to have a good time, he looked around, and suddenly heard someone shout: "The extradition boat is coming, the extradition boat is coming." ”

"Extradition boat?" Although Cang Xuan had never participated in the river lantern festival, it was the first time he had heard of the extradition boat.

Sima Ming was also a little surprised, he had never heard of an extradition boat at the River Lantern Festival before.

Suddenly, the river remembered a crisp copper bell sound, and then I saw a boat with a red lantern standing out on the dark river surface, driving slowly along the current, bringing thousands of stars behind him, as the distance approached, the crisp copper bell body became clearer and clearer, only to see a woman in white with a hat at the stern of the boat swinging the oars, and the wind chimes on the boat made a crisp sound with the cold wind on the river.

And the starlight that I just thought was starlight, where is the starlight, but the wish of thousands of people, as if the extradition of the real extradition boat followed closely behind the boat and sailed to the deep distance.

It wasn't until the boat disappeared from sight that Sima Ming turned his head sideways to call Cangxuan, and found that the person who was holding him just now didn't know when he let go, and not only that, but even the person was gone.

Sima Ming was taken aback, he wouldn't really be scattered by the crowd, maybe because it was not early, the crowd on both sides of the river was not as many as before, Sima Ming looked for Cangxuan on the bank of the river for a long time and didn't see others, thinking about whether to go back to the carriage first, maybe he couldn't find himself, so he went back to the carriage.

The stalls began to close along the riverside, not to mention the street where she and Cang Xuan walked before, the vendors who used to set up stalls on the roadside had long since disappeared, and the whole street was pitch black, and there was no one in sight.

I don't know if it's because it's late at night, she shivered when it was cold, she walked along this dark street, I don't know how long, suddenly there was an extra shadow on the ground, Sima Ming thought it was Cangxuan, but when she turned around, she saw a strange man, Sima Ming turned around and quickened his pace, and the person behind him also quickened his pace.

Sima Ming suddenly found that there was something wrong with this person, she herself should have been targeted, that person was strong, if she fought hard with him, she would definitely not be able to beat him, she could only outwit.

Sima Ming deliberately slowed down his pace, and when the man relaxed his vigilance, Sima Ming ran away, Sima Ming was sweating profusely in a hurry, and wanted to find Cang Xuan to let the coachman find the carriage on the street corner, but found that the carriage that was originally parked here was gone, replaced by a group of men, Sima Ming just wanted to run back, but was blocked by the man who chased her.

Sima Ming looked at the group of people and asked, "Who are you?" Why follow me. ”

The man who was chasing after her just now looked at Sima Ming and smiled obscenely, "It's the first time I've seen a man with such fine skin and flesh, boy, you won't pretend to be a woman." ”
