Chapter 161: New Year's Sacrifice (2)

Before they could get closer, a loud slogan sounded behind them.

The two turned around, only to see that not far behind, a huge sedan chair was made up of dozens of sturdy men wearing white belts and short shirts, and the neat slogans immediately resounded on both sides of the street, and the momentum was extraordinary.

Lu Ming looked up, a lifelike red carp jumped on the top of the wooden sedan chair, and there was a Fu Niang played by a Konoha geisha standing around, with a uniform plain white top, a pink filigree skirt, a golden high hat on his head, flowers in his ears, and various colors of makeup under the dim yellow street lamps, solemn and beautiful, and at the same time, the atmosphere of the New Year reached its peak.

"Let's give it a go." Under the hustle and bustle, Mai Trin pulled down his sleeve and whispered in his ear.

"Okay."

Lively people, lively atmosphere, Lu Ming saw a few naughty children around him constantly chasing after me, getting in and out of the crowd, and finally sweating profusely, but still smiling.

And the adults don't care, let them play as much as they want, because no one will beat or scold their children on this day, and it is said that this will have an impact on the fortune of the coming year.

The hilarious atmosphere spreads through the bustling streets with strings of laughter.

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look."

As the huge sedan chair was carried into the shrine, Lu Ming walked in front, leading Meiqin behind him to follow the flow of people.

At the entrance of the shrine, three rows of paper lanterns are made of red and yellow, illuminating the entire intersection as if it were daytime.

"You can pray over there." Mai Tamin turned around happily and smiled happily at Lu Ming.

"Everyone else came early in the morning to pray for blessings, but it's so late, the gods probably can't see it." Looking at the innocent and romantic girl at this moment, Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh.

"Not necessarily."

"Just go with you, compared to the main hall, there are many fewer people over there, not so crowded."

After waiting in line for a long time, it was already their turn.

Mikoto looked sincere, took the coin out of her pocket and threw it into the box, then shook the bell rope, clapped her hands together, and closed her eyes.

"Did you make any wishes?"

"This ...... You can't say it, but if you say it, it won't work. ”

"Okay."

"Is that the Wishing Tree over there?"

"Do you want to make a wish?"

"Of course."

Seeing that the other party was weak, Maikoto's laughter sounded like a silver bell again, crisp and pleasant, and then she directly pulled the boy up and continued to run towards the wishing tree......

Sitting on the stone bench next to him, Lu Ming watched the other party carefully fold the paper written in colored pencil, and then clumsily began to throw up the small note of wishes upwards, this picture is really a little beautiful.

And there are a few passers-by like her who are also working tirelessly.

"Coincidentally, you can meet it here."

A familiar voice came from behind, and when he turned his head, a handsome face suddenly appeared in the young man's eyes, and he smiled, "Lord White Fang, why are you here?" ”

Just before he could answer, a gentle and beautiful woman next to him walked slowly to his side, and then looked at Lu Ming with a smile, "What's the matter, have you met an acquaintance?" ”

"Yes, since we met so coincidentally, let's introduce me, this is my wife, Tomoko Mikawa." Then he whispered to her, "This is Orochimaru's proud disciple, Tanaka Lu Ming." ”

Mikawa Tomoko was slightly surprised in her heart, although there was no important introduction, but she could see that there was a strong appreciation in his husband's eyes, she had never seen him show such a look at a junior, this young man named Tanaka Lu Ming looked very special.

Mikawa Tomoko nodded lightly and asked with a smile, "Lu Mingjun, why are you sitting here alone?" ”

Lu Ming was slightly embarrassed and stretched out his finger and pointed to Mai Qin, who was still trying to make a wish not far away, "It's not a person, she came with a friend, she is still on the other side." ”

Qimu Shuomao looked at Lu Ming's fingers, first stunned slightly, and then smiled with relief, "I see, then I won't bother you young people, have fun, let's go back first." ”

"Well, next time you have time to come to our house to play."

"Okay"

Looking at the backs of the two of them holding hands and leaving, Lu Ming suddenly sighed softly, "How can you have the illusion of being bumped into by the neighbor's aunt and seeing your own good deeds." ”

"What are you talking about, so quietly."

When he came back to his senses, Mai Trin's smiling face was already in front of his eyes, so he had to explain, "It's nothing, I just met Senior White Fang and his wife, and I said hello, by the way, did you hang up your note?" ”

"Yes, hang it up."

"Then let's go, go find something to eat, I just have something to tell you."

Looking at the smile on the young man's face, Mai Qin was slightly stunned and smiled.

"Okay."

……

A small street barbecue shop at night.

It's a little far from the center, so there aren't a lot of people, unlike the kind of places where there are a lot of people, you have to shout in your ear to hear it clearly.

"Your charcoal-grilled saury, and taiyaki."

"Thank you, boss."

"You're welcome, two of you use it slowly."

The middle-aged man responded with a smile, then returned to his place and continued to grill the fish.

"This shop actually sells both grilled fish and desserts, and the owner is really amazing." Mai Koto picked up a thick fish grill, split it in two, and handed half of the tail to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming looked at the red beans in the middle and thought, it must be very sweet!

I took a bite and it was really sweet, but it was also delicious.

"Don't you have something to say?"

"Well, there's something I want to talk to you about."

"I'm listening." Mikoto quietly pricked up her ears while intently biting on the fragrant thick fish grill.

"I'm going to go out."

"Get out, where are you going?" Lu Ming's sudden opening made Meiqin's heart suddenly chuckle, and she tried to hold up a smile and continue to ask.

"Go somewhere else."

"Are you leaving Konoha?"

"Yes." Lu Ming replied with an embarrassed face, although this answer was a bit difficult to say.

"Silly girl, it's not like I'm not coming back." Looking at Mai Qin, who was suddenly a little silent, Lu Ming persuaded her.

After listening to Lu Ming's words, Mai Trin didn't know why, and suddenly remembered the other party's dazzling white hair before, was it because of that?

"When will you be back?"

"About two or three years."

Mai Trin was silent for a while, and finally spoke, "It's been a long time." ”

She likes sweets very much, but at this moment, she suddenly felt that the thick fish roast in her mouth at the moment was actually a little sweet and greasy.

"I'll be back soon when I've settled the trouble." Lu Ming pulled out a grilled fish and handed it over.

"Yes, I see." Mai Trito took a light bite, and the saltiness of the grilled fish was just right, relieving the greasy taste in her mouth, and leaving a trace of fragrance and umami.

Mai Trin felt that she had a lot of things to say to him at this moment, but when it came to her mouth, a thousand words were only combined into one sentence, "Be careful." ”

Feeling the sudden coldness from their fingertips, Lu Ming and Meiqin raised their heads in unison, and light snow began to drift in the deep sky, light and beautiful.

Suddenly, there were several 'bang, bang, bang' sounds.

In the distance, fireworks rose up in the night sky, bursting into brilliant fireworks, and everyone looked in the direction of the fireworks, and at this moment, a small hand shook like no one gently put it on the other small hand......
