Mai Jiu turned her head to look at the palm on her shoulder, she moved her shoulder slightly awkwardly, and the palm on her shoulder was more forceful. Mai Jiu was nervous and didn't dare to move, and the two walked forward with the push of the crowd.

There are more and more people, and there are more and more people holding lanterns, and everyone's faces are full of smiles.

Sang Huai'an lowered his head and attached to Mai Jiu's ear and said, "Shall we go put lanterns?" ”

Mai Jiu heard this sound and instantly felt that there were many small insects crawling on her ears, and she craned her neck and nodded vigorously.

Sang Huai'an pressed his palm hard, and the other hand also put on Mai Jiu's right shoulder, pushing her to change direction and walk to the left.

Mai Jiu obediently let Sang Huai'an push her forward, she looked at the bustling pedestrians, she really wanted to move, and there was nowhere to go.

When I arrived at the place where the lanterns were sold, there were handsome men and women gathered around, and everyone was playing and writing down the desired object together.

Sang Huai'an put down the hand on Mai Jiu's shoulder, stood beside her, and then took Mai Jiu's hand and walked towards the stall.

The stall owner, a woman with two dimples laughing, saw the two of them walking towards her stall and hurriedly beckoned: "Come, see what you want." ”

Mai Jiu looked at the stalls, which were basically lotus-shaped lanterns, but they were divided into large and small ones. Sang Huai'an pointed to the wooden frame behind him and said without hesitation: "Come on, the biggest one." ”

Mai Jiu looked up, and when she saw the largest lantern inside, she opened her mouth slightly in shock. After slowing down for a few seconds, she hit Sang Huai'an with her arm and said, "You are still really rich and willful, this is too big." ”

The lantern in front of him was like the throne under Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Mai Jiu had an urge to sit on it.

The stall owner's sister was very happy and hurriedly called someone to move. Mai Jiu hurriedly grabbed the young lady's arm and said, "No need, we don't need such a big one, just two small ones." ”

The stall owner's young lady turned her head in a daze, and her happy face collapsed just now, and after a few seconds, the young lady smiled again and said, "It's okay, then I'll give you a small one, you can go inside and get a brush to write." ”

Mai Jiu let go of the hand that grabbed the young lady, nodded and smiled awkwardly, "It's really troublesome for you." ”

Sang Huai'an poked Mai Jiu's back with his hand with his white eyes, and Mai Jiu turned his head in confusion. Sang Huai'an was a little childlike and said angrily: "Why don't you want the biggest one." ”

Mai Jiuqiang smiled for a moment and then quickly pulled down his face and replied, "Do you want to sit on the lantern and drift?" ”

At this time, the stall owner's young lady held two small lanterns in her hand and said, "Come, your lanterns." ”

Mai Jiu turned his head and smiled, and after taking it, he went straight to the place where he was writing, and said without looking back, "I'll go over first, you can give the silver." ”

Sang Huaian tilted his head helplessly, took out a few taels of silver, and handed it to the stall owner.

Mai Jiu came to the place where he wrote, in front of him was a couple with their little daughter, the little daughter jumped up and down and shouted that she wanted to write, the middle-aged man finished writing and handed the brush to his wife, and then hugged the little daughter and said, "Let your mother write, and when you grow up, you are writing." ”

Mai Jiu held a lantern in one hand, standing there in a daze, she looked at the little tiger teeth leaking out of the little girl laughing, she unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, but she didn't know why there was a sour feeling in her heart.

She remembered that when she was a child, her parents took her to the amusement park, and she also wrote things, but she wrote them on balloons and flew into the sky. Mai Jiu's nose was sore, and a huge teardrop burst out of his eyes and slid down his cheeks.

Sang Huai'an didn't know when she stood beside Mai Jiu, Mai Jiu noticed the people around her, she hurriedly wiped away her tears and sniffed.

After the family of three finished writing, the woman turned her head with the brush and saw the two people standing behind her, and she smiled and handed the brush over. Mai Jiu carried all the lanterns in his left hand, then stepped forward to take the pen and said, "Thank you." ”

Mai Jiu stood in front of the table, she put a lantern on the table and handed it to Sang Huai'an. Sang Huai'an stepped forward, took the lantern, and stood next to Mai Jiu, looking at her with gentle eyes.

Mai Jiu leaned over with a brush in her hand and wanted to write something, she couldn't put pen to paper after thinking for a long time, and it took a long time before she gently covered it with her other hand and wrote a few lines.

Parents and daughters miss you, you take care of your health, we will see each other in the next life, and we will miss you.

Mai Jiu put down the brush and propped it on the edge of the table with her hand after writing, she lowered her head and tears fell on the lantern, fainting the words that had just been written and had not yet dried.

Sang Huai'an, who was standing in the back, felt that something was wrong the more he looked, and he stepped forward to ask.

Mai Jiu's shoulders trembled slightly as he cried, and as soon as Sang Huai'an wanted to speak, he noticed that the person in front of him was crying, and he put his palm on Mai Jiu's shoulder and patted it lightly twice.

Mai Jiu straightened up, held her breath, swallowed deeply, she didn't want to continue crying, she sniffed, and gently wiped her tears with her upper hand.

Sang Huai'an turned his head to look at Mai Jiu, his eyes full of worry. Mai Jiu squeezed out a smile and put down the hand covering her eyes, she looked at the lantern in Sang Huai'an's hand and said, "Why don't you write?" ”

Sang Huai'an frowned, stroked Mai Jiu's somewhat moist lower eyelids, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Mai Jiu's hand secretly picked up the lantern on the table and hid it behind him, and said, "It's okay, I just remembered some things." Mai Jiu took Sang Huai'an's hand, turned around and picked up the brush and handed it to Sang Huai'an: "You write." ”

Sang Huaian looked down at the brush and shook his head, "I won't write it." ”

His greatest wishes, the things he longed for the most were in front of him, what else did he write.

"Okay." Mai Jiu put the brush back on the table, she grabbed Sang Huai'an's arm and ran forward: "I just saw that there is a watermelon dew selling in front of me, let's go buy it and try it." ”

Sang Huai'an let Mai Jiu pull him to turn left and right through the crowd.

Mai Jiu took Sang Huai'an and ran to the vendor selling watermelon syrup, she glanced at it and said, "Excuse me, two copies." ”

The vendor said enthusiastically, "Okay. ”

Mai Jiu pulled up Sang Huai'an again and sat down. She sat on the bench rubbing her little hands and looked at the watermelon sherbet on the table next to her. The man gently scooped a spoonful with a spoon, and the red and clear watermelon jelly shook slightly on the spoon, and he swallowed deeply when he saw this Mai Jiu.

Sang Huai'an curled up on the small bench, he moved left and right, stretched his big sleeves for a while, and brushed his skirt for a while, feeling uncomfortable. He looked up at Mai Jiu and wanted to say hurry up and leave early, but seeing Mai Jiu staring at the watermelon dew on the table next to him with bright eyes, he also held back his words.

The vendor brought two bowls of watermelon syrup, Mai Jiu couldn't wait to pick up the spoon and take a big bite, she savored the watermelon syrup, her expression changed from the initial expectation to the current slight frown.

Mai Jiu thought it was ordinary watermelon jelly, but the mint-flavored sugar water was bigger than the taste of watermelon jelly in one bite, and the mint flavor rushed straight to his throat and ran to the back of his head after taking a hard breath, and Mai Jiu's whole person was not good for a moment.

Sang Huai'an looked at Mai Jiu's neck-shrinking and bared his teeth, and asked rhetorically, "Delicious?" ”

Mai Jiuba clicked her mouth, compared to just now, she only felt that her throat was very comfortable, there was a feeling of relaxation, she dug a spoonful and stuffed it into her mouth, still frowning, but soon her eyebrows stretched, she nodded and said, "It's delicious!" ”

Sang Huaian pushed the watermelon dew in front of him in disgust in front of Mai Jiu: "Then you can eat it all." I'll wait for you inside. Sang Huai'an pointed to a clearing behind Mai Jiu.

Mai Jiu turned his head and glanced at it and replied, "Okay, you go, don't forget to give the silver." ”

"Okay." After Sang Huai'an finished speaking, he put down a few taels of silver and got up and walked towards the open space, he didn't want to curl up on this small bench, the dignified prince actually sat on the side of the road and ate a bowl of watermelon syrup.

He stood in the center of the clearing, many women looked at him back and forth, and many voices came into Sang Huai'an's ears one after another.

"Whose son-in-law is it, look at the lantern in his hand, isn't he here to find marriage?"

"I'd like to exchange lanterns with him."

"Huh? Isn't the inner one a prince? ”

"How can it be that the prince will come to put lanterns like us? It's the son of some family. ”

Sang Huai'an closed his eyes to block out these sounds, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of eyes staring at him at the entrance of the alley not far away. Sang Huai'an stared at the man, making eye contact with the man. From the moment he left the house, he noticed that there were a pair of eyes staring at him all the way.

The man lowered his head and retreated into the depths of the alley.

Sang Huai'an turned his head to look at Mai Jiu, who was still eating watermelon dew. The secret guards who followed him had already noticed the people hiding in the alley, Sang Huai'an moved his fingers to signal not to chase, now he just wanted to spend the night quietly with Mai Jiu.

Mai Jiu finished eating two bowls of watermelon and ran towards Sang Huai'an, she stood in front of Sang Huai'an and opened her mouth to breathe, Sang Huai'an smiled helplessly at the person in front of her.

Mai Jiu closed his mouth, said in a strange voice, and said with a strange voice: "Is it a mint smell, I finished eating two bowls, and now I feel that my whole brain is ventilated." ”

Sang Huai'an laughed directly when he heard Mai Jiu's words, and he touched Mai Jiu's head with his hand: "Don't eat anymore, you won't be able to catch up with the lanterns for a while." ”

The two walked side by side towards the river, wanting to walk upstream along the river, compared to just now, there are a lot fewer people now, presumably it should be that the lantern tour is almost over. Mai Jiu quickened his pace, and Sang Huai'an also took a big stride.

When she came to the river, Mai Jiu looked at the lanterns on the river and watched without stopping, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised slightly. Sang Huai'an also stopped, but he didn't look at the river, but the side face of the person in front of him.

After the lantern passed completely in front of him, Mai Jiu came back to his senses and said, "Let's go, we really don't dare to go, come here a while later, this lantern will follow the army." ”

There were only a few people squatting by the river, pushing the lanterns away, and then watching the lanterns float away.

Mai Jiu stood by the river and squatted down, and she carefully held the lantern and placed it on the water. Sang Huai'an also squatted beside Mai Jiu, and put the lantern on the water like her.

The two watched as the lanterns floated downstream.

The lantern floating with Mai Jiu was crooked because of the water, she quickly got up and ran towards the lantern, it was a lantern full of thoughts about her parents, and it couldn't just sink before it started.

The lanterns fluttered, fluttered, and Mai Jiu watched the lanterns closely for fear that he would sink if he was not careful.

Mai Jiu's lantern floated a little slowly because of the water, and Sang Huai'an's lantern caught up and hit Mai Jiu's lantern directly. Sang Huai'an's lantern did not bypass Mai Jiu's lantern and continued to move forward, for some reason the two lanterns were close together, Mai Jiu's lantern did not sink, but because of Sang Huai'an's lantern sticker, the two lanterns drifted down with the river together.

Mai Jiu stopped, she watched the two lanterns drift farther and farther, drift farther and farther... It wasn't until she couldn't see her that he turned his head and wanted to go back, but he turned around and crashed into Sang Huai'an's chest.

She looked up at Sang Huai'an, and for some reason she seemed to have found a reliance that she had never had before.
