Chapter 16: Heroes of the World, Strolling at the Temple Fair (I)
In the calm night, although the prosperity of Quanzhou is not as good as that of Bianjing City, the carriages waiting outside the Spring Breeze Hall form a long line, and the endless boats run non-stop against the bright moon. On nights when there is no curfew, the streets are lit up by oil lamps all night long. People who are busy rush to catch the freshness of autumn come to visit this crowded temple fair.
"Daddy, mother, hurry up and wait, it's too late." Yu Cheng shouted in front. He couldn't wait to see this excitement, he had been in Quanzhou for several months, except for a lantern festival on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was no such thing. All kinds of snacks on both sides of the street make the mouth flow down. Colorful pastries, accompanied by a bowl of sugar mung bean soup, are delicious. But the dignitaries will not appear in the market, and the rich and noble will have the life of the rich and noble, chanting poems, feasting, riding horses and archery.
Wang called out from behind: "Cheng'er, don't run, come and see these fun things." "There are all kinds of flower masks in a small stall, some are as white as jade and have ghosts depicted, and some are as black as carbon are scattered immortals. Wang fiddled with them, "Come and try it on Chen Xin." "A pitiful face is obscured by a mask.
It's funny, it's the first time I've seen a mask with such flowers. Wang blocked his smile with his hand. "Come on, all of you have a fresh play." There are a few more unfamiliar faces in this world, in an instant. At the end of the street, people slowly crowded together. People who are blocked outside the temple want to go in. A few little guys relied on their own strength to squeeze into the main hall.
"Look, it's a lion dance." Yu Rui Yu Cheng's eyes have been deeply attracted. Forgetting the noise around them, Yu Jian and Wang held the hands of the two sisters of the Chen family, and the lion dance in front of the main hall lined up everyone and walked out of the door, followed by a treasure cover and a god and Buddha.
"It's finally coming in, and it's going out again, isn't this a trick." Yu Cheng complained.
Yu Rui patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, let's take a look, don't you want to see the excitement." ”
People followed the lion and walked around, more often to worship the Buddha. is the so-called temple fair, temple fair, how can it be called a temple fair without Buddha. Passing through the attic under the lights, in the dim neighborhood, two figures appeared behind the crowd that kept following.
"You're not mistaken, are you sure it's the two girls from the Chen family?" A dark shadow said. In the night, the scar on his face could be seen from his left eye to the top of his right chin, so people called him a big knife.
"I can't see it for many years? Didn't the little guy who was put back by the master just run away to his house, didn't you see it yourself? ”
Dadao asked: "Then how can you be sure that these two girls are Chen Anqing's daughters?" ”
"Why don't I ask for you? Without further ado, find a chance to grab it and ask. Niu Heng said impatiently.
The two crept behind the team, if it weren't for today's excitement as a cover, the kung fu of the big knife and the cow horizontal three-legged cat was afraid that it was a hundred meters away, and people would not feel that they were good people, and they couldn't help but rush up to capture the two and transfer them to the government.
In fact, Yu Jian discovered these two people early, but they sneakily followed all the time, and they looked dull and made people want to laugh out loud. "Rui'er, did you find those two suspicious people in the back?"
"Uh-huh, I found out that they had been following us." Yu Rui replied.
"How about the martial arts you learned with your master in Bianjing a few years ago, have you forgotten all about it, wait for the performance for your father."
The expression on Yu Rui's face did not change at all, he was calm like a martial arts master, and after moving his hand bones, he turned his head: "Hey, those two thieves, don't hide, I feel ashamed for you." ”
Dadao and Niu Heng looked at each other blankly, unable to believe that they had discovered us, and since they had been discovered, it was no longer easy to hide.
"Childe has good eyesight." Niu Heng laughed loudly, avoiding the embarrassment that spread in the air.
"Who are you, what have you been doing with us?" Yu Rui scolded sharply.
Niu Heng said: "We are here to find someone, and these two girls are our acquaintances." ”
"These two are my own sisters, the eldest daughters of Yufu, how can I know such a vulgar person as you." Yu Rui continued.
The big knife and the cow chirped crookedly.
"It's really a mistake, it's Yufu's daughter." "I didn't make a mistake and tried to find out, so I directly caught it and went back to Beijing to show the master, and then I counted."
"Hey, have you discussed it, who will go first?" Yu Rui yelled at him.
"I'm sorry, we recognized the wrong person, let's go first." The two of them disappeared into the crowd with smiling faces all the way.
Yu Jian thought for a while and said; "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, they must have come to find Chen Mu and Chen Xin, let's go back and think about it in the long run."
It was already late at night when he returned to the mansion, and Song Qi waited anxiously in the lobby. From a distance, Song Qi saw Yu Jian coming over, and at the same time noticed the two girls behind him.
Song Qi asked suspiciously: "Master, could these two girls be Chen Mu and Chen Xin?" ”
"Uh-huh, yes, why did you come back alone?"
"Didn't I write a letter to my lord? How did not receive it. Song Qi was another question.
"I've never received any letters."
Song Qi continued: "This is strange, don't care about the letter first, the master and the others have been arrested when they go to Bianjing City, and now life and death are uncertain." ”
"Do you know who did it?"
"No, we were masked by the gangsters when we were caught, so we never saw any mansion in the capital." Song Qi replied.
Chen Xin heard this and ran out.
"Rui'er, Cheng'er go take a look." Yu Jian said to him. The two brothers followed closely behind, and Chen Mu also chased after him. In the moonlight, Chen Xin's delicate figure looked more graceful, and she cried as she ran.
"Sister, don't run away, if you have any grievances, just tell your brother." Yu Rui chased after him with all his might, grabbed Chen Xin's hand.
"Don't be afraid, with my brother here, no one will dare to bully you in the future."
Chen Xin fell into tears on Yu Rui's shoulder. What should have been a beautiful night was a mess again.
