Chapter 121: Take off your mask

After dinner, I went back to the room to rest, and when I stepped into the door, I seemed to look back with a feeling, only to see the corridor lamp heavy, and Shan Ming stood in front of the door, also looking back at her.

"Good night. A slight smile appeared on her face, and her eyes narrowed like a well-fed cat.

Shan Ming's eyes widened, he had never heard of this word, but it rolled on the tip of his tongue and was extremely soft, different from the night in the desert, but it was extremely suitable for the soft face of the woman in front of him, and his heart moved slightly, so he also learned to say, "Well, good night." ”

He nodded and pushed the door in.

Bo Shu is not tolerant of five colds.

In my dream, I didn't know that I was a guest, and I was greedy for joy.

She sat under the lamp, pinching her fingers and counting little by little. If you can get the voucher in ten days, then counting the fastest distance, how many days should it take to rush back to Jinxun. If the voucher drags on for a few more days, or if the fireball is a little slower, it should be a few days slower.

The fireball is the group of simple red horses, because when the name was named, I suddenly remembered the hairball guy, so the fireball fireball shouted, the fireball did not agree or object, and the simple and simple hurried away, without pulling the reins, I didn't know how to stop.

She counted the date, as if the return date was close at hand, and there was a faint joy from the tips of her eyebrows. It's just that I don't know if Master will go elsewhere to find her, so I might miss it again.

Pressing the corner of her forehead wearily, she gave birth to a silly little paper crane from between her fingers. It's just that the paper crane looks around for a moment, and in the time of a cup of tea, it turns into a point of light and disappears at her fingertips.

I don't know if it's because I'm still staying in Saibei, the spell of the paper crane can't be used, and it's impossible to send a letter to the master.

Even though she knew that the crane couldn't be sent, little by little she spelled down what she wanted to say on the crane, making it go around the room, watching it dissipate as she couldn't find the recipient.

The wind leaves have been singing in the evening.

Climb onto the couch, shrink yourself into a small ball, and try to warm up the cold quilt. If she is still in the eternal residence, Bai Ye will definitely take the stove and put it on the couch in advance, and when she goes to bed, the quilt will be warm.

Outside the window, a green goose flew by, chirping lonely, the only believer in winter.

............

Early morning.

The bluestone road on the side of the corridor seems to have not woken up, and it is quiet and cold.

He walked slowly with the pastries and sweet porridge that had been steamed early in the morning, the drawer in his hand was too hot, he frowned lightly and inhaled, just hoping to go fast and put it down when he arrived in the dining room.

"I'll do it. Shan Ming came back from outside the courtyard and woke up all the way to the bluestone road, and then he felt that the yard had a little popularity.

Took the steamer in her hand with one hand, and there was only one vermilion rice box left in her hand, Shan Ming glanced at it, shook the jade fan in her other hand and smiled, "What is that?"

Pursing her lips and smiling, she stepped over a threshold and rested the lunch box in her hand lightly on the bench. The rice box was opened, and three bowls of porridge were placed upright.

The rice grains have been boiled to a thin extent, all melted into the rice juice, the red and bright jujube is a specialty of Saibei, the size is large and the sweetness is high, the knife is changed and thrown into the porridge to boil together, a sweet and hot taste is filled with the pale white smoke.

Lu Yu went over and opened the door, facing the sunny sky outside, Ah Chai ran all the way with his nose like a dog, smelling the smell, and he didn't know where he was playing before.

Entering the door, the footsteps stopped, Ah Zhu's eyes were shiny like a puppy lying on the table to watch, the steamer had been opened by Shan Ming, revealing the first layer of Shuiming dumplings and steamed dumplings, and the drawer on the lower layer was half-opened, full of white steamed buns.

I couldn't figure out the taste of the two of them, just thinking that children love to eat sweet, so I made a lot of sweet cakes, and the white flour steamed buns are golden balm, so there should be nothing that no one particularly hates.

"The girl really surprises people. Shan Ming put away the fan, smiled and shook his head.

It was also a helpless move, after eating a meal cooked by Shan Ming yesterday, it simply refreshed her three views, the meal looked quite normal, but the taste was indescribable, she didn't want to think about it, as if the salty taste was still lingering at the base of the tongue. So she insisted on cooking last night, so as not to eat a few dark dishes, and took the lead before she could leave the place before she could get the voucher.

So she brought sweet porridge to Ah Zhu, and filled a few sweet cakes with a small plate, and raised her eyes to look at Shan Mingdao, who was eating happily, "You can't cook, and there are no people to serve, Ah Zhu is living a miserable life with you." ”

Shan Ming was stunned for a moment, looked back at Ah Zhu, and smiled slightly, "Then I will trouble the girl in the future." ”

This is said with sincerity, and the tone is like spring breeze and rain, so that people can't hear the slightest blasphemy.

Luo Luo simply rolled his eyes, and drank the porridge so attentively.

Don't think she's stupid enough to hear her, treat her like a free laborer. It's okay to cook, she doesn't hate it anyway, but don't even think about washing clothes and the like, the cold water can form ice slag when splashed out, and these hands can't stand it at all.

"There's a Spring Festival party tomorrow night, do you want to go and see it?" Shan Ming lowered his eyes and picked out the red dates in the bowl and put them aside.

Lu Miao blinked, "What will?" "Yingchun?" But it seems that it is still winter.

Shan Ming raised his eyes and smiled, "The Spring Festival in Saibei is only one day away from the Chinese New Year's Eve in the Central Plains. ”

She nodded knowingly, "Go if it's fun." ”

Ah Chai shouted, "How do you know if you don't go and see, sister, let's go together!"

The flavor of the New Year in the Central Plains is eight classics, firecrackers are ringing, a table of eight immortals in the house is placed, more and less meat and vegetarian dishes are on it, and every household is reunited. And the Spring Festival Party in Saibei is also at this time, but it is not a family-style festival, which is also known after participating in it.

When Shan Ming came back in the evening, he wore two masks, one for Lu Ming. She compared the mask of the Moon Palace fairy to the other, and then laughed.

"This mask is so big. He opened his five fingers and put them on his face, then put them on his mask, and looked at Shan Ming with a smile.

Shan Ming looked at the jade-like palm-sized face in a daze, smiling and frowning, and the mask of the Moon Palace Immortal on the side of the white plate turned out to be like a dumb immortal, and took the Moon Palace mask, Shan Ming said apologetically, "I bought it big." ”

The mask of the Moon Palace Immortal is a girl's favorite one, and it is much better looking than other beasts and demons. In fact, it is not very good-looking in itself, it is a pink and white dough, with slender eyebrows and eyes outlined on it, and the whole is round.

I also liked it, and looked over and over in my hand, and saw that Shan Ming was also holding a mask that looked quite fierce and vicious, with copper horns and fangs under it, so he said strangely, "You have it too?"

Shan Ming bowed his head, "I will use it for tonight's Spring Festival, and I can't show my face directly at that time, otherwise it will be boring." ”

Ah Zhu didn't get the mask, he sat upright and didn't move, just a pair of small eyes floating around, staring, dumbfounded.

I tried it on, it was too big, and it was a real brass core, too heavy, and I buckled it on my head, not to mention that it was nondescript, and it was easy to slip off, so I threw it to Ah Cha to play.

Ah Chai hugged him in his arms and grimaced at the mask, playing hard.

Shan Ming said, "I'll go buy you another one." ”

Lu Yu hurriedly grabbed him, "It's just that you can't show your face, right, then I'll just take my hat, and it's the same." "It's embarrassing to bother him to make an extra trip.

When Shan Ming heard this, he didn't think it was feasible, but since she didn't want to, he let her go.

When the last rays of sunlight were sucked into the ground, it was completely dark, and a golden full moon rose in the distance, hanging high in the cold sky.

A long path was laid out of stones on the open sand, and there were occasional fires jumping between the stones on both sides of the road, and many people with various masks walked lightly on the road, laughing and laughing along the way.

Only one of them wore a hat, which was strong enough to cover half of his face, leaving a sharpened jaw and a rosy red lip looming between the tulle.

The women who walked by and saw her looked back several times, and said in their hearts that if they were unfortunate to participate in the Spring Festival next year, they must make a hat according to that look.

Ah Chai was also brought out, and he was spreading joy everywhere, with two small hands fixed on his head a large mask, which was a big circle larger than his head, and his mouth was screaming and shuttling through the crowd.

Luo Ming was a little afraid that he would run away, and glanced at the real parents with his eyes, but Shan Ming was not worried about him at all, in his words, the house could not be used to raise eagles.

"Isn't that fun. "I looked around, except for the bonfire that was just a few steps away from the pavilion, and there were people walking around, not even a vendor selling snacks.

"Don't rush, I'll start in a while. Shan Ming pulled her to the largest bonfire and sat down in a slightly higher position.

The people below gradually stopped moving, and many plump girls in masks wore five-colored skirts and danced around the campfire. The little silver ornament on the dress shook up, and it was particularly playful and beautiful.

As soon as he saw the silver ornaments, he remembered the silver ornaments on the body of Beiyao, which were different from the circles that these girls had embellished at the skirt and waistline for the sake of beauty, and the silver ornaments on his body seemed to be free of money, from the back of the shoulders to the ankles, arranged in a wonderful pattern, which looked quite exotic.

The bonfire was warm, Shan Ming brought her a bowl, she took a small sip, and her eyes narrowed so sweet, "Milk?"

"I put a little sugar, what do you think?"

"Not bad. ”

It's a little much, it's sweet, but she likes it. He smiled, and it was a bit funny to see Ah Chai squirming with the dancer.

Looking at it, I suddenly felt a sense of prying eyes, and when I looked to the side, I saw a person taking off his mask, revealing half of his face, and under his narrow eyes, there was a small beauty mole, which was particularly conspicuous on the extremely pale skin.

The porcelain bowl in Lu Ming's hand almost fell, Shan Ming felt something wrong, and turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

She shook her head.

The man had already gone away. But she was dressed in plain clothes, with no exaggerated silver jewelry, which made her suddenly think that it was just her illusion just now?

Or maybe it was just because she happened to think of Beiyao that she mistakenly thought that she saw him. Also, how could Beiyao be such a fancy person, how could he wear such plain clothes.

Thinking like this, she calmed down a little in her heart, and said to Shan Ming, who looked at her, "A person took off his mask just now, and I was wrong." ”

When Shan Ming heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "Someone took off the mask so early, and to whom?"

He thought about it for a while, and pointed at himself uncertainly. He must have been looking at her.

Shan Ming's face changed suddenly, and the idea of seeing the excitement froze on his face, and he said slowly and with difficulty, "Then you didn't do anything, did you?"

After listening to his explanation, I finally understood that the custom here is that single young men and women participate in the Spring Festival party, with the intention of finding a favorite object, which can be said to be a publicly-funded single meeting. When you meet someone you like, you can take off your mask, and if the other party is also interested, you can also take off your mask to confess your heart.

But she didn't have a mask to take off or not, she only wore a hat!

"What happens without a mask?"

Shan Ming's face was a little ugly, he just took her out to play, and he didn't want to participate in it at all.

"Then whenever someone asks you for love, it is assumed that you are agreeing. ”

"......" actually...... The hat can be considered a mask in a sense, right?

"It should be fine, the man is gone. Maybe I'm wrong. She rested her cold milk on the ground and looked up to watch the performance near the campfire.

The girls who have finished dancing become especially popular when they go out into the crowd, and the milk wine is served in a large cup, starting from the first person, and one person takes a sip, and at the end, almost everyone takes a sip. Lu Ming sat on the side and watched, not participating, Shan Ming also sat and looked at them, with no intention of playing.

She is unhygienic, after all, as a person who grew up in modern society, the concept of hygiene is still relatively strong, and it is estimated that dozens of people will salivate in it. Luo Miao smiled slightly, the corners of his eyes curled slightly, "Why don't you go and play, maybe you can take a daughter-in-law home, won't someone take care of the housework for you in the future?"

Shan Ming glanced at her, "Isn't there you for the housework?" ”

I gasped, I couldn't believe that this person was so brazen that he dared to say such a thing, but the words actually became, "I'm expensive." ”

Shan Ming had a little smile between his eyebrows, "How expensive? ”

I was stunned for a while, and I didn't bother to talk to him, "I'll leave when the voucher arrives in a few days, who is scarce about your money?"

The little girl was not happy, her expression was coquettish and tired, and she couldn't see her face through the tulle, but he could imagine that the scarlet lips were slightly pursed, and she must be delicate and cute.

The bonfire burns brighter and brighter, as if it will not be extinguished.

But everyone knows that as soon as the sky is shining, they will be destroyed.

Shan Ming smiled lightly, picked up the jade fan in his arms and slapped it in his palm, his eyes fixed on the fingers holding the newly changed hot milk.

There was a golden wide ring there.

There are mountains on it, there is water.

If anyone recognizes it, they will be shocked. That mountain is the Broken Sword Peak of the Demon Domain, and the water is the Seven Feelings River of the Demon Domain.

That ring is the personal belongings of the new king of the Demon Domain.
