Chapter Seventy-One: Mid-Autumn Night

The Mid-Autumn Festival in this era is no different from later generations. Maybe the food has changed, but what has not changed is the mood of family reunion and the sorrow of being adrift.

"Ah Shi, come with me to the banquet......" Sun Shao was still persuading Qi Shi, who leaned over and looked at the flowing water under the bridge, shaking his head like a rattle.

"I'm not going, I said I'm not going."

Sun Shao finally gave up, and he said helplessly: "Then I won't go either." ”

"Childe, you'd better go! Anyway, I don't want to see Sun Qun, and I don't want to toast him. ”

Qi Shi half-jokingly, half-seriously, straightened up, patted the railing of the wooden bridge, and said, "Okay, Childe, I'll go first." If he really swears to go out tomorrow, Gongzi can lead Lujiang Shangjia to advance in the army. I will lead the Qingyun soldiers to trek through mountains and rivers, go through thousands of hardships, even if I fight to the last person, I will open the gate of Jiangxia City for Gongzi. ”

Her snatching of white made Sun Shao's face red for a while. Sun Shao finally got free and withdrew from the barracks, in order to take Qishi to Sun Qun's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Seeing that Sun Shao was speechless, Qi Shi pointed to the lantern rising in front of him, and said with a smile: "While there are still a few moments before the evening, how about Gongzi accompany me to enjoy the lanterns?" ”

In Jiangdong, every household has the custom of putting lanterns in the Mid-Autumn Festival, one is to compare whose lanterns are the most eye-catching, and the other is to bless relatives in the distance. After Lujiang City was placed under the jurisdiction of Jiangdong, this custom has continued for many years.

The more you go to the lantern field, the more lively the flow of people becomes, Sun Shao opened the way in front, holding Qishi tightly with one hand. Every year on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are always children and girls who go missing, and I don't know where they are trafficked to by people's teeth.

Qishi followed Sun Shao's steps and came to a relatively close position.

Although the people of Lujiang felt the atmosphere of slaughter before the war, the scene in front of them was rare, and it was not easy to survive in the troubled times, let alone have a decent Mid-Autumn Festival.

So men, women, and children, as long as they can still go out, all poured into the streets and alleys. The Lujiang army dispatched thousands of people to maintain order, and at the same time focused on restricting the flow of people at the city gate and by the bridge.

In the eyes of experts like Qi Shi, Sun Qun and Zhou Xu are going to take advantage of this Mid-Autumn Festival to conduct drills, so they are not afraid to show their strength.

At this time, there was a little girl, about three or four years old. She rode on her father's neck and said in a milky voice: "Daddy, look at the sky, there are so many lights!" Qishi suddenly remembered his life experience, and couldn't help but feel the urge to cry.

At this time, the crowd also erupted in exclamations, and it turned out that more than a dozen lanterns were being released into the air, followed by dozens. For a moment, the half-dim and half-bright sky was decorated with lanterns. This isn't the pinnacle of tonight's event, and people won't release all their lanterns until it's completely dark.

Sun Shao noticed Qi Shi's expression, he approached Qi Shi's ear, and said, "Ah Shi, what's wrong with you?" ”

Qishi shook his head, forcibly held back the tears that were about to fall, and said loudly: "I'm fine, son, go quickly!" If you don't leave, you will miss the lord's banquet! After speaking, she didn't wait for Sun Shao to respond, she broke free of Sun Shao's hand and got into the crowd.

There seemed to be Sun Shao's shout behind him, and Qi Shi no longer responded, but quickened his pace and walked farther away.

The crowd poured towards her like a tidal wave, and it was very difficult to go against the grain, but Kiyo wiped her tears and walked forward with her head stiff. Someone bumped into her shoulder, someone stepped on her shoe again.

Before she knew it, she came out of the crowd and came to the north of the city. It's close to the mountains, and the wind is quite strong, so no one comes here to put the lights. Only then did she realize that the shoe on her left foot was gone.

Stepping barefoot on the hard ground brings heart-piercing pain.

She couldn't walk anymore, so she simply sat down on the side of the road, tilted her head, and looked at the bright moon in the sky. The moonlight sprinkled on her body like a layer of frost.

"I'm so tired......"

But she can't stop yet, because the arrow has to be fired, and she has to persevere.

Tonight, she wants to spend it with Sun Shao, but can she hinder Sun Shao's future? After all, they can't break away from the Jiangdong system now, but if they want her to face Sun Qun, they can't do it anyway.

She was so depressed that she desperately wanted to leave Lujiang, and she couldn't wait for a moment. Thinking of this, Qishi stood up, and she was about to leave Lujiang.

"Ashi!"

It was as if she had been immobilized, and her tears flowed. Behind him was Sun Shao's voice, anxiously saying, "Ah Shi, where are you going?" I'll call you out, and you'll get into the crowd. How dangerous! ”

"Childe, aren't you going to the banquet? What do you want me to do? ”

The footsteps approached, and Sun Shao said, "I'm not going." ”

Qishi turned around slowly, her face was full of incredulity, "Childe, you said you weren't going?" ”

"I asked someone to take leave from my uncle, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I want to spend it with you." Sun Shao smiled, and he could see that he was also relieved.

"That'...... Let's go back quickly, and in a moment people will put on a lot of lights. Qishi wiped her tears and smiled.

Sun Shao walked up to Qi Shi, his eyes fell on her left foot, and said softly: "The shoes are gone, don't go." It's good here, but where can't you enjoy the moon? ”

Qishi nodded, she pointed to the bright moon in the sky, and said, "Childe, in fact, I used to be very afraid of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Because on this day, Huanglong will always give everyone a holiday so that everyone can reunite with their families. For example, Xiaobu, her family has houses in several states, and no matter where she goes, she can reunite with her family during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's just me, alone, not knowing what to do. ”

Sun Shao listened very carefully and said, "Speaking of reuniting with my family, I haven't spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with my mother, sister and sister for five or six years. I reunited with my sister in Jian'an County for a month, and then separated. But now that I have you, you can treat me like family. Don't keep calling me Gongzi in the future, just call me Sun Shao or Yun Han. ”

Qi Shi said: "That's not easy to change, it feels weird." Besides, calling you a son doesn't necessarily mean that you really treat you as a son! ”

Sun Shao smiled: "No matter what you do with me, I treat you as ...... A unique person. ”

"Unique...... It also feels weird. ”

Sun Shao lowered his head and suddenly kissed Qishi. It turned out to be lips, Qi Shi hurriedly dodged, but Sun Shao leaned over and kissed again.

Qishi didn't dodge this time, she stood in place, accepting Sun Shao's love. In her heart, the affection gradually coalesced and began to become a real feeling.

So she boldly responded, and did so.
