Mo Xiaoxiao took Mo Yao from squatting on the side of the road to begging, to shopping and watching the scenery in a generous way, bought him new clothes to change into, trimmed his dirty hair, washed the dirt and odor on his body, ate a big bowl of hot noodles, and added an egg.

Mo Xiaoxiao was also very happy when he looked at Mo Yao's toothless smile, he never seemed to be so happy, even today he looked like a real child.

They lay on the bridge overlooking the river flowing endlessly at their feet, watching the figures of people and the attics of the houses reflected in a wave of clear water, watching the sun squander the last colors, and then all the lights were lit in an orderly manner......

Coincidentally, this day happens to be the annual lantern festival in Jiangcheng, November 25th, that is, the most lively time in Jiangcheng, people come together, all kinds of lanterns, colorful lanterns can not be turned off this night, the lights are bright until the dawn of tomorrow.

Red men, green women, men, women and children, all gathered together, the streets of the whole Jiangyuan large and small were all lit up, and there were also bands and opera troupes that invited to make a fuss, and there were endless empty alleys with thousands of people, and there were food stalls that were not open all night.

Unmarried girls dressed up to attend, put lanterns to pray for a good marriage, unmarried men are also carefully dressed, by the mother made by the lanterns, brought to the river to put it, in fact, more to see whose girl is handsome, and then good to go back to advocate the matchmaker, for a hundred years, this festival has been handed down in Jiangcheng.

Mo Xiaoxiao carried Mo Yao through the red and willow green lights, and in the dim light, the people passing by and the shining lights were in full view, Mo Yao's giggles and Mo Xiaoxiao's crisp voice were drowned out by this noisy downtown area......

"Sister, let's go put the lights on too, shall we?"

Mo Yao smiled and said to Mo Xiaoxiao, who was looking at the other side happily.

Mo Xiaoxiao's hair was blown around by the wind, she stroked it with her hand, turned her head, and said to Mo Yao with the same tenderness and joy: "But putting the lantern is an unmarried woman's begging husband, I don't want to!" ”

"Sister, you can ask for peace and health, let's go, it feels so fun, there are so many people who are so lively!"

Mo Xiaoxiao blew the cool breeze with the smell of candle flames, leaned on the railing, let the cold wind blow the wisps of green silk, and his clothes were covered with a little shadow.

"Okay, seeing that you want to play so much, in fact, it's good to ask for peace, then let's go!"

"Okay, sister, I want two lanterns, one for you to make a wish, and the other for yourself......"

"Okay, let's go!"

Mo Xiaoxiao took Mo Yao's hand, from the mottled place to the lights, to the empty alleys, to the bright lights......

"Sister, look at the one who sells lanterns!"

Mo Yao pointed to a small shop in front of the door in a brightly lit place.

"Good!"

Mo Xiaoxiao and Mo Yao stopped in front of the shop together, although the shop is not big, and it is not so gorgeous, but all kinds of lanterns are available, gorgeous and colorful lotus lanterns, dazzling hanging lanterns, and lanterns that children play with in their hands.

"Girl, are you going to put a lantern lantern, or a lantern lantern or a hanging lantern? Look at me, I have everything here, it's all complete! ”

The boss is a kind-looking old man with all his hair turned white, he is a craftsman who has made lanterns all his life.

"Well, I'll take a look at the lotus lantern!"

Mo Xiaoxiao picked up a pink lotus lamp, the pink petal tips, the light white petal roots, overlapping and interlacing, and the unlit red candle in the middle, looked particularly elegant and beautiful. When Mo Yao saw Mo Xiaoxiao bring a lotus lantern, he also took two, one purple and one blue, and he was also happy to play with it in his hand.

"Oh girl, why don't you buy a little green turtle? Tie this thing to that lamp, it swims in the water, and your flowers swim on it, but it's beautiful, do you want this little turtle to swim fast! ”

As soon as Mo Xiaoxiao paid the money, a middle-aged man selling turtles next to him began to greet him.

"Sister, buy one!"

"Hmm!"

The two bought lanterns and three little green turtles, and happily put up lanterns by the river.

The willows by the river are still around, the lights are brilliant, the bustling people come and go, there are a lot of various lanterns floating on the water surface, a lantern, shuttling back and forth, still and moving, the light and water shadow, the shadow is sufficient, and the shadow is full of each other.

Mo Xiaoxiao crouched at the water's edge, carefully lit a lantern, and gently put it into the water, because there was a green turtle tied to the bottom of the lamp, and as soon as the lantern was put into the water, it swayed and drifted away into the distance, Mo Xiaoxiao secretly made a wish in her heart, and her wish went away with the lantern that was gradually moving away, until it intersected and merged with the longitudinal lantern, and it was difficult to tell which one was her own.

Mo Xiaoxiao was getting up, and when she turned around, she made eye contact with another person......

His eyes were blazing, his eyes seemed to be full of stars and seas, clear and bright like a clear spring, his sword eyebrows were like sharp edges, his starry eyes were affectionate, and under his tall and straight nose was a beautiful butterfly as delicate.

Déjà vu......

Mo Xiaoxiao felt that her heart seemed to be uncontrollable for a moment, she wanted to say something but couldn't speak, her eyes were full of surprise and excitement, soft and warm......

"Can I borrow your matches? I seem to have forgotten to bring it. ”

The man asked her politely and gently.

He also had a lantern in his hand.

Mo Xiaoxiao didn't make a sound, just looked like a wooden chicken, and handed the matchbox in his hand to him in a daze.

Then silently watched as he gently struck the match to carefully protect the wind, then lit the lantern, and put the lantern into the water very gently and generously.

After that, he turned around again and said with a faint smile, "Have we met somewhere?" ”

Mo Xiaoxiao looked at him and couldn't say it, she just shook her head, she couldn't remember where she had seen it in her mind, and she herself felt a little familiar.

"If I'm not mistaken, I've seen it!"

Mo Xiaoxiao smiled embarrassedly and scratched her head again: "I really haven't remembered it, it doesn't seem to be......"

"Why do you have to know each other when you meet, then can you tell me which girl you are?"

The man was calm, and he didn't pursue it, just chatted politely.

"I, my surname is Mo, and I don't live here."

The man pursed his lips lightly and smiled, the dimples on his face were clearly visible when he smiled, and his whole body exuded a kind of noble son's temperament, which was different from He Yuwen's coldness, and also different from Situ Zhaoyang's eight-sided exquisite speech, but it was more cordial and low-key, which was a mature man's feeling.

"My surname is Gu, if you need help, you can come to me, I will be responsive, and it is an honor to have a fate with the girl."

The man is gentle and elegant, generous and elegant, and after saying this, he politely said goodbye and left, because unmarried men and women will be gossiped about when they are alone for such a long time, presumably this man is also a decent gentleman and a well-informed character.

Mo Xiaoxiao was still stunned, very confused, obviously familiar but couldn't remember it anyway.

"It's strange, so familiar, we haven't seen it yet? But he said he had met? It's weird, it's so weird. ”

"Sister, what are you thinking?"

Mo Yao pulled the corner of her clothes from the side, and she came back to her senses.

"Alas, Mo Yao, it's so strange for you to say, I obviously haven't seen that boy just now, but I always have a look of where I have seen him, but I can't remember anything!"

Looking at Mo Xiaoxiao's dazed look, Mo Yao also scratched his head, looked at the back of the man who was gradually moving away, and said leisurely: "Sister, didn't you find that brother is very similar to a person?" ”

Mo Xiaoxiao clasped her hands to her chest and muttered, still confused.

"Like a person? Like whom? ”

"I feel a bit like a pretty sister......"

"Pretty sister? Gu Qingshui? Single surname Gu? ”

Mo Yao nodded: "I think it's very similar, it's all the same." ”

As soon as Mo Yao's words fell, Mo Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that he couldn't help clapping his hands and jumping and jumping.

"Ahhh

Mo Yao blinked his eyes: "Then who is he?" ”

"Mo Yao, he is Qing Shui's brother, that is, the brother of the beautiful sister, Qing Shui mentioned to me that she has an older brother."

"Ah, that's it, no wonder it looks like a beautiful sister!"

"Well, yes, that's him!"

Mo Xiaoxiao was excited and excited, she didn't know why she felt this way, her voice was full of excitement.

Mo Xiaoxiao and Mo Yao stayed in a hotel for one night, the night was very late, the noise on the street gradually dissipated, only the bright lights were still lively, Mo Yao had already slept very deeply, and occasionally whispered, Mo Xiaoxiao leaned on the windowsill alone, looking at the prosperity under his feet.

The attic was large enough to overlook the lights of the whole street, the prosperity of the city, and the lanterns floating on the water, and she had a lot of emotions in her heart, and she didn't know why her cheeks were hot again when she thought of the picture she had looked at him a few hours ago, and her heart could no longer return to a calm frequency......
