Mid-Autumn Festival Special: Mooncakes are Groups, Moonlight is Circles (2)
On the night of the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the full moon as bright as a jade plate, emitting a soft silver light, hung high in the night sky, lighting up the stars and igniting the homesickness of the wanderer.
The faint moonlight contains a strong sense of longing and concern.
The wishes and happiness in the hearts of thousands of people are pinned on this bright moon, sent to the sky, and gone with the wind, adding a touch of light to the dark road, and illuminating the future for those who have never returned.
He who never returned......
Hua Mulan stood on the Great Wall, staring at the bright and perfect moon in the sky, but her heart was a little broken.
The resolute eyes are as tender as water and deep longing at the moment.
"Lu Yu, are you okay over there in Chang'an?"
In the bright moonlight, there seemed to be that familiar figure, and Mulan reached out to take it back, but found that it was just an illusory bubble after all.
It's rare that she didn't wear armor, Mulan stood against the wind, her dress hunting, her long hair fluttering, and her steel-like figure looked soft.
"Sister Mulan."
With the arrival of light footsteps, a cold voice like a mountain flower sounded behind her, and Mulan silently turned her head.
"Garo."
Seeing the beauty that seemed to come from the painting walking towards her, Mulan smiled and said hello, but her smile was a little reluctant.
And Jia Luo saw the faint lovesickness on Mulan's face, and naturally understood the reason.
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, no wonder the moon is so full."
As if inadvertently sighing, the corners of Mulan's mouth raised a bitter smile.
The moon in the sky is indeed as round as a disk, as smooth as a white jade disk.
"Yes, today is a rare Mid-Autumn Festival, why don't you go to eat mooncakes with everyone? He made a lot of flavors. ”
"However, no matter how many flavors there are, there is no one that tastes like mine."
Hua Mulan lowered her eyebrows and said silently.
The implication is that she wants to eat the moon cakes that Lu Yu personally made for her.
No matter how much food there is, if you don't have him by your side, you just taste like chewing wax, and you don't have a little appetite.
"Understood."
Out of nowhere, a piece of mooncake appeared, and Jia Luo stretched out in front of Mulan.
"What is this?"
Looking at the mooncakes that were handed to her, Mulan showed a puzzled look.
"This is a moon cake sent by Lu Yu from Chang'an, and he made it himself."
Smiling softly, Garo looked directly at Mulan, and there was no dodging in his eyes.
"Really...... It's true? ”
Obviously surprised, Mulan stared at the mooncake in her hand again.
"The moon cake is a group, and the moonlight is a circle. At this moment, Lu Yu must be thinking about you. After you eat this mooncake and gaze at the moon, maybe you will be reunited with him soon. ”
Seeing that Mulan couldn't wait to eat the mooncakes, Jia Luo just showed a smile full of fairy energy.
Immediately, she couldn't help but raise her head and stare at the full moon in the sky and the stars around her.
It's as if you're facing the soul of this hometown......
......
In the courtyard full of peonies, Ming Shiyin is playing chess with Yixing. …
"Yixing, do you know what day it is?"
Looking at the young man in front of him who was meticulously facing the chess game, Ming Shiyin suddenly asked.
"Mid-Autumn Festival...... Is it? ”
Although his mouth was a little sluggish, he never hesitated to drop the chess pieces.
"Look at the moon in the sky, is it like a chess piece in your hand, perfect?"
Forcing Yixing back again and again, Ming Shiyin smiled.
"Master, apprentices don't understand ......"
Frowning, realizing that he had been cornered, Yixing said with some dejection.
"Stupid, I mean, it's time for us to eat mooncakes."
Haha laughed, Ming Shiyin waved his sleeves, and the chessboard, which was originally full of chess pieces, was suddenly hidden.
"The rare Mid-Autumn Festival, don't think too much, eat some mooncakes."
"Reunion, this is also a wonderful world."
Ming Shiyin approached the house and brought a large plate of moon cakes.
"Wow, where did all these mooncakes come from?!"
Smelling the fragrance, Pei Baohu was the first to rush up.
"Well, Ah Li did it."
Gongsun Li walked over with a light smile, looking at the mooncakes he had made on the table, showing a smug and proud smile.
"What? What did you do? Forget it, I won't eat it. ”
As soon as he heard that the mooncakes were actually made by Gongsun Li himself, Pei Baohu felt a little sick to his stomach, and he recalled the fear of being dominated by Gongsun Li's dark cuisine.
"Hmph, if you don't eat it, you won't eat it. Leader, Yixing, Sister Yuhuan, the three of you eat more. ”
Looking at the three of them expectantly, wanting to get their praise for their cooking skills, Gongsun Li urged.
"I'm not hungry yet, I'm going to continue to study chess."
"Today's moon reminds me of my hometown, let me soothe my inner complex with the sound of the lute."
Yang Yuhuan and Yixing walked away one after another, leaving only one Ming Shiyin
^0^ Remember for a second
。
"Boss ......"
Looking at Ah Li's somewhat angry and aggrieved appearance, Ming Shiyin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Is it so terrible that the things that Ah Li did?
Although I haven't eaten it yet.
"Then I'll take a bite."
picked up a piece of moon cake, and looked like it looked good, Ming Shiyin took a bite.
But......
"How's it going, Chief?"
"Leave, did you forget to put oil in this moon cake?"
"Is it unpalatable?"
"Not really."
Ming Shiyin smiled bitterly and chewed the moon cake silently, although it looked like he was chewing a stone.
At the same time, Yang Yuhuan's piano sounded, melodious and beautiful, and with the bright moonlight, it poured into everyone's hearts.
Slowly closing his eyes, Ming Shiyin's eyes appeared a long, long time ago, people were displaced by the war, running around to survive from the clutches of the demon seed, and some orphans came to the desert. There, they discovered the Great Wall and were blessed by it. Everyone is born with the right to live and a desire for happiness, even orphans.
Lonely people, people who don't have a hometown, under such a full moon, even if they eat moon cakes, where can they have reunion?
Are you all right, old folks?
However, even if I have lost you, I will one day let you reappear in the world I have created. …
......
"Tiger, are the mooncakes I made so unpalatable?"
Walking along the way, Gongsun Li asked a little unwillingly.
"Huh? Actually, it's not unpalatable, it's that you can't eat it at all, don't you see that the leader is all blue from eating......"
"Hey, you're begging for a beating, aren't you?"
Flexibly dodging Gongsun Li's slap, Pei Baohu smiled bitterly: "Really, our Yaotian is really an indifferent organization, not even a cook." ”
Indeed, no one in Yaotian can cook well, and the food is particularly poor.
Moreover, there is Gongsun Li, who develops her dark cuisine from time to time.
"By the way, let's go directly to Di Renjie, will it be a little dangerous?"
"Since Lu Yu invited us, there shouldn't be anything wrong. Moreover, Di Renjie may not be able to recognize us. ”
During the conversation, the two had already come to the place agreed with Lu Yu.
And at this moment, in Di Renjie's office.
"Yuan Fang, add sugar!"
"Li Bai, knead the dough!"
"Master Di, take the mold!"
Lu Yu is like a chef, and Li Bai and the others are like assistants behind him, the four of them are acting in a hurry, they have been busy for most of the day.
"I can't see that Lu Yu still has this kind of ability."
Shangguan Wan'er and Cheng Yanjin were visitors, and they also wanted to help, but considering that Wan'er was delicate since she was a child and couldn't work, Cheng Yanjin was a big old man who couldn't do fine work, so she simply let the two of them sit aside and chat.
"Haha, Lu Yu is simply the perfect object for women in Chang'an City, handsome, powerful, and can cook, tsk...... If any girl finds him, she will be happy. ”
Shangguan Wan'er held her chin with one hand, looked at Lu Yu's busy "heroic posture", and said with a smile.
"Ahem, no matter what, Lu Yu is just a little fresh meat. Real men are like me, with a strong body and spirit! ”
Cheng Yanjin coughed twice, and then said without blushing and heartbeat.
"Hehe, Lord Jin, a real man like you just takes cross-dressing as a hobby?"
remembered that she accidentally bumped into Cheng Yanjin's black history before, and was wearing a green spicy-eyed costume called "Love and Justice", Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but tease.
"Ahem, men have some little fetishes, what's wrong?"
Cheng Biting Jin proudly turned his face away, obviously even he himself was a little embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, you two have been sitting down until now, let's eat mooncakes!"
When Shangguan Wan'er and Cheng bit Jin Dou's mouth, Lu Yu came over with a smile, his white face was covered with a lot of flour, and it became whiter.
"Oooh! No wonder I asked a scent! ”
Cheng Yanjin and Shangguan Wan'er immediately stood up, they had already asked about the tangy fragrance.
"Freshly baked mooncakes are here!"
Li Yuanfang walked out first, his face was full of excitement and joy, and he saw that his left hand and right hand were full of plates, and even there was one on his little head.
And Li Bai and Di Renjie also came out one after another with plates.
The plate is topped with mooncakes and exudes an enchanting fragrance. …
"Alright, let's eat!"
The moon cakes were served on Di Renjie's desk, although Di Renjie, who had a habit of cleanliness, warned everyone again and again, but they didn't care.
"Huaiying, it's a big deal to clean up after eating, what's the big deal."
"Phew, this isn't your desk."
Although he was a little embarrassed, Di Renjie still picked up a piece of moon cake "reluctantly" and sent it to his mouth.
"Hmm, it's delicious!"
Just took a bite, the crispy skin, with the sweet filling, landed on the way to yourself
^0^ Remember for a second
The taste buds were hit perfectly.
Even Di Renjie, who has always been meticulous, couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
"Wow, Lu Yu, it's a good time! It's much better than that of the Drunken Immortal Building! ”
Li Yuanfang almost took a bite of a mooncake, and praised while eating.
"Well, it's good."
Li Bai also nodded again and again, it seems that Lu Yu's cooking skills are really extraordinary.
"It's a pleasure to eat moon cakes while admiring the moon."
He also picked up a piece of moon cake, and Lu Yu couldn't help but look at the bright moon outside the window.
staring at the bright and complete moon in the sky, but there was something incomplete in my heart.
Mulan, on the other side of the Great Wall, are you okay?
In the bright moonlight, there seemed to be that familiar figure, Lu Yu reached out to take it back, but found that it was just an illusory bubble after all.
"Bang Dang ————"
Just when everyone was eating moon cakes and admiring the moon, they only heard a loud noise from the gate, and then two figures appeared in front of everyone.
"Wow, it smells so good! I can't stand it! ”
Pei Baohu was already hungry and screaming, and he pounced on the table along the fragrance of the moon cakes.
"Hey, who are you?!"
Vigilantly guarding the moon cakes behind him, Di Renjie looked at this somewhat familiar but raw face.
"Hehe, Master Di, we've dealt with each other before."
Pei Baohu scratched his hair and said with a smile.
"Is that you?"
After staring at Pei Baohu for a few moments, Di Renjie finally recognized him as a boxer from Liuhe Boxing Gym.
"And who are you?"
"My name is Ah Li, and I'm a dancer in Changle Fang."
Compared with Pei Baohu's recklessness and rudeness, Gongsun Li obviously knew more about etiquette, and bowed slightly to everyone.
"Both of them are my friends. I just asked them to come over and eat mooncakes together, after all, the more people, the more lively it is. ”
Lu Yu walked over and patted Di Renjie's vigilant shoulder.
“......”
didn't refuse, Di Renjie just said silently: "Don't make my office dirty." Then he ate his own moon cakes by himself.
Isn't it lively......
It's also a good idea to liven up a cold office.
"Wow, Lu Yu, did you do this?! It's also so delicious! ”
Pei Baohu stuffed a mooncake into his mouth in one hand and devoured it, as if he had been hungry for a few days and had not eaten.
"Hehe, actually, we've helped a lot."
Li Bai suddenly interjected, looking at Pei Baohu and Gongsun Li's eyes, there was a little more sharpness, but they quickly disappeared. …
The Mid-Autumn Festival is safe and peaceful, and it is good to be reunited.
"Hey, Tiger, you robbed me of that flavor I liked!"
Seeing that Pei Baohu snatched the flavor he liked, Li Yuanfang was not to be outdone, and immediately took it back from his hands.
"Eh, little mouse, whoever grabs it is whoever, hehe, now it's me again!"
Pei Baohu relied on his advantage over Li Yuanfang's height and arm length, and snatched the moon cake again, and then staged a battle with Yuanfang.
"Hey, you guys, stop making a fuss!"
Of course, it was Di Renjie who was angry, and Li Bai, Shangguan Wan'er and others couldn't help laughing on the side.
And when everyone was inadvertent, Lu Yu and Gongsun Li, but they came outside the house.
"Ah Li, you will take the rest of the moon cakes with you in a while."
"Eh, aren't you going to eat it?"
Looking at Lu Yu's somewhat deep smile, Gongsun Li said with some puzzlement.
"Those orphans in the health center should eat these mooncakes."
A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Lu Yu said.
"You...... Do you already know that those moon cakes in the health center come from the Drunken Immortal Building? ”
A little surprised, but Ah Li's expression quickly calmed down.
Lu Yu's observation power is still so powerful.
"Those orphans just showed such a satisfied look just because they ate moon cakes, for them, the greatest happiness is nothing more than this, right?"
"Ah Li, I don't want to see anyone crying, whether it's a human or a demon seed."
"The lonely birds who are floating have the right to pursue their happiness and the right to live."
Wandering Lonely Bird......
Ah Li, I couldn't help but think of my past, the days when there was no one to rely on.
He was once an orphan in a health home, and it is precisely because of this that Ah Li understands the joys and sorrows of the world more, and he doesn't want to see the crying and sorrow of life even more.
The original hatred for human beings gradually dissipated. What Ah Li wants is not revenge, but a world where both humans and demons can obtain warmth and happiness.
In the same way, you may be able to find your own happiness in that kind of world, right?
However, seeing Lu Yu's determined look, Gongsun Li found that such happiness seemed to be by his side, not the "perfect world".
Lu Yu's dream..... It turned out to be in line with himself.
"Without a hometown,
^0^ Remember for a second
There is no old friend, but as long as the thoughts are still there, even if you are alone in the face of this bright moonlight, your heart is very full. ”
Whether it is moonshine or moon cakes, they are the carriers of lovesickness and happiness.
The combination of moon cakes and moonlight may not allow a person to achieve happiness in his heart, but the warmth from reunion can melt the darkness and coldness buried in his heart, and strive for higher beauty.
That's what reunion really means.
I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles.
Staring at the bright moon, the figure that has always been imprinted in my heart gradually appeared in front of me. The happy smile that came out of the meeting was so vivid and real......
