Volume 2 Jinghua Fengyun (II) Chapter 50 Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang (II)
The two of them quickly walked to the giant dragon and phoenix Xiangxiang lantern by the Yinghe River, and the onlookers on the inner and outer three floors had already dispersed.
A few people were guarding the empty dragon and phoenix skeletons, sighing for a long time.
The only remaining bamboo and wood skeleton has also been burned into charcoal black by the fire.
As soon as someone touches it, or a slightly stronger wind blows, it makes a creaking sound.
The skeleton body also swayed gently from side to side, and layers of fine black powder brushes fell down.
It looks crumbling and fragile, like an old man who will fall down at the touch of a candle in his last years.
"Alas!"
Lu Chengfeng heard a heavy sigh again.
A man in an ordinary cloth shirt was squatting beside the remains of the dragon and phoenix lantern, burying his head between his knees, looking distressed.
"This big brother, but the reigning dragon and phoenix are lamenting the big lantern?"
Lu Chengfeng stepped forward and asked.
The man in the cloth nodded heavily, his eyes frowning.
"I see that most of the onlookers are disinterested, those who go home go home, and there are also those who go to other places to guess lantern riddles and visit the night market, I don't know why this big brother has not left for a long time? But what is the origin of this large lantern that was burned by fire? ”
Lu Chengfeng looked at his stunned look and asked speculatively.
"Little brother has good eyesight! To tell you the truth, it is the lantern maker of this dragon and phoenix auspicious lantern. ”
The man was still squatting on the ground and did not get up, but only paused and replied.
"I see! It's disrespectful! ”
Lu Chengfeng made a gesture towards the man.
Seeing that his eyes were still staring at the dragon and phoenix headlamp beside him that was burned and only the remains remained, with a reluctant look, he whispered softly:
It is understandable that these vivid handicrafts under the hands of craftsmen must have been infused with countless efforts of craftsmen at the time of manufacturing! It is often said that only when the soul of the craftsman and the object are one can such an ingenious and breathtaking thing be created! ”
The man was said by Lu Chengfeng, and the uneasy meaning that he had been holding back for a long time suddenly erupted, and a seven-foot man cried like a tearful man:
"What the little brother said is very true! That's it! This dragon and phoenix Chengxiang big lantern, I have worked hard for three years to build! A person's life starts from a bamboo and wood strip, and then layers of paper to paste! In the past three years, this lamp has been given life by me! To exaggerate, it's like my own biological child! ”
The man cried bitterly, beat his chest and paused, and said to himself:
"Seeing it burn is like seeing someone burn their own child, and my heart hurts like ripping flesh! Woowoowoo......"
When Lu Chengfeng heard this, he didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to use the most ordinary polite words to comfort him:
"Big brother, you mourn, mourn ......"
The man cried for a while before venting all the grievances and resentment in his heart.
He wiped his tears, stood up, hugged his fist to Lu Chengfeng, and thanked:
"Little brother, someone made you laugh tonight! Thank you little brother for being by the side for comforting! I don't know who the little brother's surname is? We'll see you later, see you another day! ”
"You? The eldest brother is really a member of the Youfu family on Nanshi Street in the south of the city? ”
Lu Chengfeng called out in surprise and joy, and there were words in his mouth
Talking to yourself:
"It seems that You Gongzi didn't lie to me! I thought he was teasing me just now, maybe maybe he drank too much nonsense! Who would have thought that he would tell the truth! ”
When the man heard this, he was also surprised, and was just about to turn around and leave, when he turned his head around again, and asked Lu Chengfeng:
"This little brother actually knows about Nanshi Street Wanderer? Could it be that he has a friendship with my master? ”
"Fei also, non also, I happened to meet the prince of your mansion tonight, and I talked with him very happily, and I also drank heartily in the wine fairy residence, so I know that your family's housekeeping skill is to tie flower lanterns! Hahaha! Having said that, your son's drinking is really bad! I'll have to exercise more in the future! ”
When Lu Chengfeng thought of You Gongzi's innocent appearance after getting drunk, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise and smiled.
When the man heard this, he was shocked, and paused for a long time before he spoke:
"You, Yougongzi? Little brother, isn't it wrong? We don't have any sons on Nanshi Street! I'm afraid Childe is talking about someone else! Jinghua City is so big, it's not a big deal to have a surname! ”
The wandering man waved his hand, shook his head like a rattle, and vigorously denied it.
"Impossible! He told me, his home is in the south of Jinghua City, Nanshi Street Youfu! You can't have two visiting houses in one neighborhood on Nanshi Street! That's right! Speaking of which, I really have a fate with you! Last time, I was in the Prince Dojo of Jiuxianju, and I also got acquainted with Miss Guifu. ”
Lu Chengfeng looked incredulous, and hurriedly explained to himself.
"Miss? When did the young lady sneak out of the house again? If the lord knows it, he must be whipped again! ”
The wandering man muttered to himself.
"Hahaha, sure enough! You Gongzi also told me that your master is very strict with his family education, and his young lady is not allowed to go out of the boudoir for half a step, and she is not even allowed to go out to see the lights during this lively Shangyuan Festival! ”
When Lu Chengfeng heard this, it was consistent with what he heard from You Gongzi's mouth tonight, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he still had a chance in the future, so he laughed easily.
"By the way, are your son-in-law and young lady the dragon and phoenix fetuses of the same mother? It's funny, when I first met your son-in-law tonight, I mistook him for your young lady! It's really ridiculous and generous! ”
Lu Chengfeng said it, a little ashamed of himself, and the roots of his ears turned red.
Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, the man also stroked his palms and laughed, and he lost the aggrieved attitude of Luotuo just now, and said:
"I've finally figured it out! It must be my young lady who is dressed as a man and sneaks out of the house to join in the fun! How can there be any twin brother and sister dragon and phoenix fetus! It's just my young lady's words! My lord is such a pearl in her palm, and she is precious on weekdays! Little brother, you were tricked by her, right? Hahaha......"
Chasing Feng, who was standing aside and didn't speak, also laughed heartily when he heard it.
This happy and peaceful atmosphere really makes Lu Chengfeng's face full of black lines, which is extremely embarrassing!
The eldest lady of this Youfu is really a quirky person!
I was actually played with by her in the applause, and I played all over again!
Lu Chengfeng was already blushing with shame and his neck was thick.
But after thinking about it, on the Jiuxianju, Miss Youjia's questioning words after getting drunk are more like being jealous now!
Thinking like this, Lu Chengfeng suddenly lifted the dark clouds in his heart to see the sunrise, and the spring was proud!
She seems to be very interested in me
Think! will inquire into my reputation, pay attention to the whereabouts of my news, and eat the vinegar of Miss Qian and Miss Xuanji! Hahaha!
Lu Chengfeng rubbed his hands excitedly, and was about to run back in a hurry.
Oops! She was a delicate woman, how could she leave her alone in Jiuxianju at night?
Besides, she's still very drunk! If you are taken by some bad guys, and you have evil thoughts again, what should you do?
After all, she is so beautiful and moving!
Lu Chengfeng thought, wishing he had slapped himself a few loud times!
Even if he missed the opportunity to hold the beauty, he even put her in such a dangerous situation!
If she hadn't dragged her to the Wine Fairy Residence to drink, she wouldn't have been so drunk!
So, while running back quickly, he shouted loudly to the chasing wind without looking back:
"Chasing the wind, you stay with the big brother of the You family to investigate the fire! I have to go back and see if Miss You has woken up! If she has three longs and two shorts, I won't be able to live on the wind! ”
The road rode the wind all the way to the direction of Jiuxianju.
It has long passed, and there are many fewer people enjoying the lights on the road.
The road is much smoother than when I came first.
In the blink of an eye, he had already returned to Jiuxianju.
When I got to the door, I saw that the shopkeeper was about to turn off the fire and close.
Lu Chengfeng nervously pulled the arm of the shopkeeper and asked:
"What's the matter? Where is the boy in the third floor seat? ”
"Childe, what childe? I'm afraid that we will have to receive thousands of noble sons a day! ”
The shopkeeper was obviously tired and sleepy, and his eyelids were heavy and he didn't even raise his eyes to look at Lu Chengfeng, yawning in his mouth, and replied casually.
"It's the little boy in the snow green clothes I told you to take care of just now! You took my money!" ”
Lu Chengfeng grabbed a pair of wrists of the shopkeeper, shook him suddenly, sobered him up, and yelled urgently.
"Oooh! Right! It's that childe! I remember! He's gone! ”
The shopkeeper patted his head and said in retrospect.
"Gone? He's so drunk! How could it be possible to go on their own? Did you see it clearly? Did he get up and go away on his own, or was someone else taking him? Say it quickly! ”
Lu Chengfeng was in a hurry, and a big palm waved up, directly pinching the neck of the shopkeeper, and asked angrily.
"He walked on his own!"
The shopkeeper choked and paused between words.
"Are you serious? I'm afraid it's not a black shop? If I find out that you lied to me, I will definitely let you walk around without food! ”
Lu Chengfeng's big hand added some force to his neck, threatening.
"This boy has something to say! Our Jiuxianju is also a well-known time-honored brand in Jinghua City! You've wronged us by saying that! I testify that what Xiao Er said is the truth! I also saw the boy in the snow green clothes you mentioned, is he good-looking? Looks like a little girl! He went on his own! ”
The shopkeeper didn't know when he had come out of the back kitchen where the fire had been extinguished, and he was busy testifying for the second child of his shop, and said with an oath.
Lu Chengfeng let go of his hand and walked away in a daze.
Did she go on her own? Could it be that she sobered up so quickly? Or was she pretending to be drunk from the beginning!
