People always see the stories of talented and beautiful women in the books, they are only eight buckets high, they are stunning, they seem to be beyond the existence of the world. But in this world, there are too many ordinary people, too many ordinary things.

The annual Shangyuan Lantern Festival is a major event in Tianyu Town.

Although there is a moat in Tianyu Town, but in essence, it is still near the mountain and little water, and most of the water sources in the town are diverted from the spring stream in the middle of the mountain, and converge into a small spring at the bustling market entrance in the town.

It was dark that day, and the bridge by the water was surrounded by girls who put river lanterns.

Xie Yi sneaked out, and when she passed by Mu Chu's river lantern stall, Mu Chu was sorting out the bamboo strips that had been peeled.

Xie Yi looked at the lanterns placed on the stall, and there were only some flowers on the left, and she asked him, "Do you have any other styles here?"

Mu Chu raised his head when he heard this, he saw the candle flame shining through the shadow of the tree on Xie Yi's eyebrows, and he asked rhetorically, "What does the girl like?"

"What do you like...... Xie Yi thought about it, smiled in his eyes, and the fire in his eyes shattered, "Do you know how to be a swallow?"

Mu Chu also laughed, his dexterous fingertips pulled through the two knots, and a string of bamboo strips made a slender sheared swallowtail.

Xie Yi was overjoyed, she was holding it in her hand to enjoy the game, but when she saw the two old mothers in the building also coming over, she was so frightened that she was about to hide behind Mu Chu.

Later, Mu Chu gave Xie Yi two new lanterns, and Xie Yi also changed the ink-splashed paper into a strange stone map.

If it weren't for Xie Yi losing the hairpin at Mu Chu's stall, this would probably be an ordinary encounter at the Lantern Festival.

Speaking of Mu Chu's first visit to Weiyang Pavilion, Xie Yi stopped, she seemed to see the scene at that time again, a scholar who didn't even go out much, standing in the center of the drunken gold fan in a daze, helpless, and didn't even dare to raise her eyelids.

But in the end, he still went.

"His master doesn't like him to come to Weiyang Tower, and he has to scold him for a long time when he comes back, but he is very stubborn. Xie Yi took a sip of wine.

"In a few months, it will be this year's township test, and he said that he would help me redeem myself when he entered the siege. ”

"He wanted to go to the capital, so I told him that I had seen it in the capital before, the snow in the Huxin Pavilion, and the pastries of Li Ji's shop on Chang'an Street were the most delicious. ”

Xu had been thinking about it for too long, and the lockdown felt that Xie Yi's voice began to drift, as if it was separated by a layer of papier-mâché curtains, he raised his hand and added a glass of wine to himself, and he asked, "Is it the Li Ji shop under the archway of the old city gate?"

"How do you know?" Xie Yi was surprised for a moment, and then came back to his senses, "By the way, you are an official messenger, what is strange about going to the capital." ”

Feng Cheng didn't answer, he nodded slightly, as if a kind of recognition, but suddenly there was a kind of loneliness in his heart, she - should not recognize herself.

He wanted to say that in fact, just outside the old city, in the alley a few steps out, there is an old storefront where the lotus crisp is the best, but it is more expensive so it is not famous. But the words were swallowed as soon as they came to their mouths, and what is the meaning of saying it now, they are no longer young at that time.

Feng Cheng felt that today's wine was unexpectedly spicy, and he asked Xie Yi, "Do you believe in ghosts?"

Wrapping the strands of hair behind his ears, Xie Yi shook his head without hesitation. "When I was thirteen years old, the lord of the family committed a corruption case, and when I was temporarily detained with the young lady, the lord died, hung at the gate of the city, and hung his body for three days. ”

Lockdown City's heart skipped a beat, he vaguely guessed when he heard the county master mention it before, but he didn't know that the reality was even more cruel.

"The old lady died of illness in prison, and after throwing it out, she didn't know where she was buried. ”

"Miss, she killed herself, she cut a lot of knives on her wrists, and her wrists were almost cut off at the root. ”

"Actually, when Miss died, I thought that even if there were really ghosts, I wouldn't be able to save anyone. ”

Xie Yi's sentences began to become choppy, Feng Cheng knew that she was depressed, he only felt that he was also very heavy, he asked Xie Yi, "Then do you still want to go back?"

He asked Xie Yi, as if he were asking himself.

Xie Yi didn't answer, her eyes drifted out of the window, there were people coming and going downstairs, but it wasn't the appearance of shouting on Chang'an Street, she suddenly remembered a song that she hadn't sung for many years, and she hummed slowly.

Listening quietly in the closed city, he didn't know if the young Xie Yi had also been under the window and sang such a song, he only listened to the tactful and continuous tune in the song, like a pastry under the old city gate.

Xie Yi turned her head, her eyes suddenly fixed on Feng Cheng, and her singing stopped abruptly.

"Seal the head, Mu Chu...... He's behind you. ”
