Chapter 10 Lantern riddles recall the past, and lotus heart designs
Princess Lianxin said goodbye the next day, and when she left, she met Long Fuzhi who was going to practice the piano in the bamboo forest, and said casually, today is the Lantern Festival, and at night, there is a lantern festival in the world, guessing lantern riddles, it is very lively, and there are all kinds of delicious and fun.
Long Fuzhi was absent-minded when practicing, he used to hear his cousins say how fun the world was, but he had never been there, under the master's repeated inquiries, he said that he wanted to see the lantern festival in the world, Yu Ye saw that Long Fuzhi was quite diligent in practicing the piano during this time, and in order to reward him, he promised to take him and Mo Fei to visit the lantern festival in the world.
Compared to the silence of the East China Sea under the light of the night pearl, it is full of people.
The flaming red lanterns reflected the festive appearance on the faces of everyone passing by, the roadside stalls were full of dazzling trinkets, the red sugar gourds made people drip down before they could eat their saliva, and the juggling artists spewed out long tongues of fire, which made Long Fuzhi and Mo Fei stunned.
The two children looked around in the bazaar, and they looked strange when they saw everything, Long Fuzhi was holding a sugar gourd in his left hand and a big meat bun in his right hand, and their clothes were bulging and filled with a lot of things.
There were a lot of people here, and Yu Ye performed a body separation technique, but Mo Fei insisted on holding his hand, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly when he heard their happy laughter.
"If you guess the riddle correctly, you will send a lantern, does anyone want to try it?" Hearing someone shouting next to him, Mo Fei was attracted by a lantern at a glance, and the scenery of plum blossoms budding to fall on the branches was like a plum blossom realm, Mo Fei couldn't help but sigh What a beautiful lantern.
"Do you like it?" Hearing the child's words, Yu Ye asked.
"I like it." As soon as Mo Fei looked up, he saw a smile on the corner of the fairy brother's mouth, and his unfocused gaze fell on him.
"Can this lamp be delivered too?" Not far away, a man with a lantern heard someone ask, and was about to refuse, but when he raised his head, he was stunned, and the man who asked was like ink paintings, and his temples were like knife cuts, standing out in the crowd.
"What's wrong with this man?" Long Fuzhi leaned over and asked Mo Fei in a low voice.
"I was fascinated by the beauty of my fairy brother." Mo Fei shook his head, he didn't see the other party speak for a long time, Yu Ye coughed lightly, the other party reacted, stammered and said that he could send it, and slapped the back of his head after speaking, the boss said that this lantern was used for sale, but now that the words have been spoken, it is not easy to regret it.
At this time, the boss walked over, and the mung bean's big eyes rolled around the bones.
"This son, do you want to try?" The boss shouted on the stage, everyone followed his gaze and looked back, this look suddenly quieted a lot, the bright moon was in the sky, the lanterns were tight, and a fluttering face attracted the attention of everyone present, making many girls breathe tight and their hearts beat fast.
"This boy, if you guess the five lantern riddles correctly, this lantern is yours, it doesn't matter if you guess wrong, as long as ten taels of silver can be sold to you." The boss laughed and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, he had a wishful thinking in his heart, seeing that these three people were by no means ordinary people, how could they be worthy of his name You Daqian if they didn't knock hard.
Hearing that a lantern was sold for ten taels of silver, everyone talked about it, saying that this boss was crazy about money, and there were more and more people watching the excitement.
"You say." Yu Ye looked calm.
"The first one, listen up, the bird loves the branches, type." The boss smiled treacherously.
"Technique." While the people next to him were still talking about it, Yu Ye had already answered, and Mo Fei and Long Fuzhi looked at each other and smiled.
"The second one, the lonely mountains and clouds are scattered, type." The boss frowned.
"Hori." Yu Ye replied again without thinking.
"The third, a 'one' word, type an idiom." The boss shrugged.
"One after the other." Everyone was stunned.
"This son is so knowledgeable, the previous three were to warm up the child, and the real lantern riddle has just begun. Scattered into mud and dust, playing the name of a herb. "As soon as this lantern riddle came out, people who watched the excitement said that it was unfair, this lantern riddle was not familiar with herbal medicine and could not be answered, and the boss was obviously deliberately making it difficult for him.
Yu Ye pondered for a moment, and the boss finally exhaled a long breath, counting him as powerful, and answering the three riddles correctly.
"It's agarwood powder." Yu Ye smiled lightly, the boss gritted his teeth in anger, this person is not the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, and there is the last riddle, which will definitely stump him.
"The lonely sail in the sky is sad to part, type." This riddle was left by his grandfather's generation, and no one has ever answered it correctly, so he doesn't believe that this person can answer it correctly.
Sure enough, this time Yu Ye was silent, and everyone regretted that Dao was still one short of getting the lamp.
Seeing that the fairy brother's face was getting more and more ugly, Mo Fei and Long Fuzhi hurriedly dragged him away from the crowd and came to the dark lake, and several girls who admired the fairy brother did not follow, Mo Fei blamed himself for being greedy.
Yu Ye's mind was blank, the riddle of the lantern riddle was a "spike" word, but he couldn't say it anyway, a tear slipped silently from the corner of his eye, fell into the night, and was carried away by the cold wind blowing from the lake, without a trace.
Not far away, a hawker who walked and shouted walked by, he held many lanterns in his hand, one of which was exactly the same as the red plum lamp just now, Long Fuzhi was excited, wanted to buy it and give it to Mo Fei, he ran in the direction of the hawker, but when he ran over, the vendor walked away again, and when he walked to the lively market, there was no trace of the hawker, and when he turned around, he couldn't see Mo Fei and the master, he was lost.
Mo Fei was so anxious that he stomped his feet, how could Long Fuzhi disappear in a blink of an eye, thinking that Long Fuzhi would not find them, he must be afraid, Mo Fei woke up Yu Ye who was immersed in the past, Yu Ye felt guilty, he forgot that there were two children next to him, he asked Mo Fei Mo to be anxious, hold his breath and concentrate, and feel where Long Fuzhi is with the golden ring.
Mo Fei nodded, took a deep breath, focused his attention on the golden ring on his feet, and silently recited the name of Long Fuzhi in his heart, and sure enough, the golden ring made a tinkling sound, pulling Mo Fei in one direction. Not far away, several men in black watched their movements closely.
"You'll have to do it quickly, or that damn golden wisp will lead them to Long Fuzhi right away." A young girl said angrily.
"Yes, Your Highness Princess." The man in black knelt in front of her.
The two of them passed through the bustling crowd and came to a secluded alley, where a few dog barks from time to time, and it was pitch black, which made people stop.
"Brother Immortal, are you going this way, how could Long Fuzhi come here?" Mo Fei tightened Yuye's sleeve in fear.
"There shouldn't be anything wrong with the golden wisp ring, follow me." Yu Ye also wondered in his heart, why did Long Fuzhi come here, could it be that someone deliberately took him away, Yu Ye immediately became alert, the alley was very dark, Mo Fei couldn't see anything, and he could only hear his own heartbeat behind the fairy brother.
"Help, help, let go, let me go." A girl's cry for help sounded not far away, which was particularly eye-catching in the empty alley, Yu Ye frowned, quickened his steps, walked around a corner, flicked his toes, and fell in front of several people in black, listening to the voice, there were six people here.
"Yuye Xingjun, help me." The girl cried, Yu Ye frowned, how could Princess Lianxin be here.
"Don't be nosy, get out of here." One of the men let out a low roar, and they surrounded Yu Ye, the tip of their sword pointed at him.
Yu Ye opened his right palm and flipped those people to the ground with a little force. Listening to the footsteps of them running away, Princess Lianxin threw herself on his chest, crying silently, Yu Ye comforted her and said that it was okay, but the girl in her arms hugged him harder, crying heartbreakingly, she could feel her hot tears falling on her chest through her clothes, Yu Ye was a little repulsed, and gently pushed Princess Lianxin away, but she refused to let go, saying that her feet were broken and she couldn't walk.
At this time, Yu Ye noticed that Mo Fei was not beside him, he called her name loudly, he was in a hurry, and he couldn't leave Princess Lianxin here, after a few thoughts, he carried her.
Princess Lianxin's face was shy, she was so close, she could smell the good smell of Yuye Xingjun, feel the warmth on his body, how good it would be if she could be carried by this man for the rest of her life, as for that child, how could she be worthy of her humiliation that day without some punishment, a trace of anger flashed in the girl's eyes.
The lantern festival is over, and everyone goes back to rest, except for the watchman who is still walking on the street, and there is no one on the road.
After Princess Lianxin heard that Long Fuzhi and Mo Fei were lost, she comforted Yuye Xingjun in case the two children had returned to the Dragon Palace, and it was not convenient for Yuye to find Princess Lianxin on her back, so she thought about sending Princess Lianxin to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea first, and after going back, she actually found that Long Fuzhi had returned to the Dragon Palace.
Yu Ye asked him how he came back, Long Fuzhi was still a little shocked, saying that he fainted somehow, and when he woke up, he was already on the edge of the East China Sea, he thought that the master and Mo Fei had returned, but now the master only brought Sister Lianxin back, but Mo Fei didn't know where to go.
"Master, isn't Mo Fei with you?" Long Fuzhi asked in a panic as he pulled up Yu Ye's sleeve.
"Fuzhi, don't worry, Mo Fei will be fine." The dragon queen comforted her panicked son, she was also flustered in her heart, it was so dark, Mo Fei must be afraid when he was outside.
"Dragon King, it's me who didn't take good care of the two children." Yu Ye was remorseful, first he lost Fu Zhi, and now he lost Mo Fei, remembering that at the entrance of the alley, he walked faster, and even forgot that she was still behind him, he was used to it in the dark, but ordinary people couldn't move an inch where they couldn't see their fingers, what if the child was kidnapped by those bad people.
"Yuye Xingjun, if you hadn't arrived in time, our Lianxin wouldn't know what would have happened, I'll send someone to find Mo Fei now, don't worry, you will definitely be able to find it, this kid is smart and clever, and it will be fine." The Dragon King comforted Yuye Xingjun, and even more comforted himself.
"I'm going to find Murphy too." Long Fu's death bit his lower lip and held back his tears. Yu Ye took Long Fuzhi back to the market, and asked him to use the golden ring to perceive Mo Fei's location, Fuzhi nodded, he was too flustered to sense the golden ring at all, he took a deep breath, tried to calm down his uneasy emotions, closed his eyes, and said a few words silently, the golden ring really began to turn, and he was overjoyed.
Murphy was bound by a hemp rope and locked up in a firewood room. Her wrists were broken and her knees were bleeding, but what terrified her even more was the presence of two big black dogs barking at her with their fangs in the dark woodroom.
Through the moonlight that fell in front of the window, the eyes of the two black dogs, as big as copper bells, shone brightly, staring at her viciously, seeing them getting closer and closer, Mo Fei was so frightened that he curled up in a corner of the room, his back was clinging to the cold wall, tears fluttering down, but when they approached, for some reason, he suddenly changed his appearance, stretched out his tongue and wagged his tail at her, Mo Fei saw that they didn't look like they were going to hurt themselves, and they were not so afraid.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, the cold wind swept through the broken paper window into the room, Mo Fei felt dizzy, her weak body could not resist the invasion of the cold night and shivered, she leaned against the wall, cold and hungry, and slowly closed her eyes.
