Chapter 82: Shangyuan Night

Three days later, snow fell from the sky again. Compared with Beiyu, Jiang Guo is not too cold, and the climate is relatively milder and more pleasant.

Chu Wu and Muke set up more than 100 candles in the courtyard corridor, and lit them at night, making the entire courtyard as bright as day.

After dawn, Shang Yang and Miao Yan will pack up the remaining candles, replace them with new ones, and continue to place them in their previous positions.

After more than ten days like this, although he heard Lihong say that it was to exorcise ghosts, Ding Ruoyu didn't believe it in his heart, but thought that he was setting up some strange formation.

This candle array has been placed until the Shangyuan Festival.

After Shang Yang removed the candle lamp, Li Hong went out of the study and took Ding Ruoyu to the street to see the lanterns.

The market is bustling with tourists, and even women who don't like to go out very much are walking together, and there is a lively scene of lights everywhere.

There is also a stall on the street corner where you can guess lantern riddles. The two walked over curiously, and the old man pointed to the riddle on the lamp, and asked them to write down the answer on a piece of paper, and if they got it right, they gave them a lantern.

"This lamp is a pig's head!" Ding Ruoyu shouted, pointing to the row of lanterns as gifts.

"Pig ......" Li Hong took the pen, and he didn't even think about filling in the word pig.

"Congratulations! This lamp is yours! The old man stroked his beard and smiled, and handed him a little pig lantern.

Ding Ruoyu looked at the word "pig" on the paper and was stunned.

The iron draws the silver hook and enters the wood for three points, which is still his original dog-like font?

"Gone, what are you still doing?" Lihong tugged at her sleeve and pulled her out of the crowd.

Ding Ruoyu looked at him in a daze, and walked slowly with him to the moss-stained bluestone bridge in front of him.

With a distracted expression, he leaned on the bridge and bought some bait to feed the fish in the river. Suddenly turned his face to look at her sideways, and curled the corners of his mouth at her.

"You ......" Ding Ruoyu only said one word, and he couldn't help but not ask who he was.

The person in front of her was exactly the same as the Lihong she knew, and there was no difference between them. However, she was always quick to spot something wrong. She was familiar with him, and the aura on his body was more orthodox, while the person in front of her would give her a sense of deviance, and she couldn't even predict what he would do in the next moment.

"Do you want to row?" Li Hong suddenly approached.

Ding Ruoyu was so frightened that he took a step back, stepped on the stone steps, and was about to lean back. Li Hong hurriedly took her hand, jumped up with her half-grasped, climbed over the railing of the bridge, and landed directly in a small boat moored under the bridge hole.

Tourists on the bridge were so surprised by this sudden move that they shouted again and again.

The boat rocked in both directions, making a large splash, which quickly stabilized. Lihong handed the captain a tael of silver and asked him to go ashore by himself, and then helped Ding Ruoyu into the cabin and let the boat drift down from the upstream.

Ding Ruoyu pressed his beating heart and stared at him like a monster, but saw him smiling very happily, pointed ahead and said, "Look at the river lanterns over there, do you want to count how many there are?" ”

"Childish!"

As soon as these two words came out, Ding Ruoyu couldn't react again. How could such a word be used on him, and make her speak so smoothly, as if she had been saying this to him so often a long time ago?

"Then do you want to watch the trick?" Lihong said again, and tried his best to coax her.

Ding Ruoyu was amused by his attentive appearance.

So Lihong got up, stood on the bow of the boat, and a few glowing green fireflies floated out of his palms, and flew in all directions to the river lamp of prayer.

As if controlled by some invisible force, the scattered river lamps converged and formed a lotus on the surface of the river.

The rest of the river lanterns slowly rose into the air, turning the flat lotus flower into three-dimensional, the flowers and leaves rotated, and the pedestrians on the river bank were stunned, thinking that some kind of fairy appeared, and they all worshiped the huge lotus lantern.

Ding Ruoyu also walked out of the cabin and walked towards him, wanting to see this strange scene more clearly. There were only two of them on the boat, both in the bow of the boat at the moment, and it was immediately difficult to maintain their balance, and they leaned to one side.

"Be careful!" Lihong hugged her, stepped on her feet, abandoned the boat, and took her back to the shore by stepping on the river.

With a burst of exclamation, the lotus flower that had been erected by the river lantern before lost its magic control and collapsed in the water in an instant, and the candles in the lamp were extinguished by the splashing water.

Walking along the shore, there were people who went to the rivers and lakes to sell their solutions. Squeezing through the crowd that surrounded them, the two came to the front and saw several artists performing fire-breathing, tightrope walking, and breaking boulders on their chests.

"It's all little tricks, nothing to look at." Ding Ruoyu was not interested, and suddenly saw the hand hidden in Lihong's sleeve move, and the fire that erupted from the mouth of the artist on the stage suddenly turned into a puff of black smoke, and the smoke rushed to the sky, bursting into fireworks.

The fire-breathing artist stood still, looking at the sky, as if petrified.

The other tightrope walker, the steel rope under his feet suddenly became transparent, and to the eyes of others, he seemed to be floating in mid-air.

The artist who had broken the boulder in his chest hammered it down, and the wide boulder dissolved into powder in the center, while he himself embedded it in the stone, cutting the boulder into a half-human-shaped gap.

"How's this trick now?" Li Hong asked with a smile.

Ding Ruoyu looked at the artists who had just reacted after being scared, one was choked and coughed, one simply jumped down from the air, and the other pulled his body out of the boulder for half a day, admiring him so much.

Is he here to cause trouble for others?

In less than half an hour by his side, he experienced several ups and downs, but he still seemed to be unconscious, pulling her around again.

"Oops, you pig!" Li Hong screamed, Ding Ruoyu blinked, remembering that the little pig lantern that guessed the lantern riddle was placed in the cabin that had been turned over, and at this moment it was mostly a river lantern that sank to the bottom of the water.

"Don't ......" Ding Ruoyu hurriedly said, stopping him from going back, for fear that something unexpected would happen.

As they walked, they drifted away from the crowd and came to an embankment where only moonlight remained.

The moon is like a silver plate, sprinkling clear light, and the dead grass on the embankment seems to send out new shoots. Li Hong smiled mysteriously, took out a Xun from his arms and played it.

The music is beautiful but indescribably cold and weird, and after a while, the wind rises all around. The wind gusted, flowing with the music, and gradually glowing fireflies appeared.

One, two...... At first, they could count, but by the time the wind had slowed down, there were flickering fluorescent lights everywhere in front of them.

"How did this come about?" Ding Ruoyu never knew that there was such a technique.

She held out her hand, and a firefly landed on her fingertips, the green light went out, and it floated away gently.

"Change?" Li Hong denied with a smile, "I raised them all." ”

Ding Ruoyu didn't believe it: "In late winter and early spring, where did the fireflies come from?" ”

"I don't lie to you, it's just that the body of these little things is really disgusting, and I can't let you just see it." Li Hong waved away a stray firefly that landed on his eyelashes and explained to her a little.

"Anyway, they're pretty good now." Ding Ruoyu no longer bothered, just wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of him.
