The end of the year is coming, and Chinese New Year's Eve is gradual. Qiancheng Market is bustling with activity, and every household is busy buying New Year's goods, whether it is a commercial building or a tavern or a street stall hawker, business is very prosperous.

Feeling the New Year's atmosphere completely different from the ancient village in the west, Zhu Yi and the first arrival were very surprised, and the streets were dumbfounded.

Yaozhuang sent a large number of people into the city to buy New Year's goods. There is no shortage of silver in the manor, so the New Year's goods are prepared in a dazzling array and are abundant. The corridors around the manor are replaced with new red lanterns, from the easternmost end to the westernmost part of the Wind Garden.

Although Xunfeng Yuan is remote and rarely moved, the old housekeeper Lu carefully ordered all of them to be renewed.

Wen Xi picked a few window flowers and pasted them carefully, and even the bedding changed the festive red color to the clothes. Zhu Yi listened carefully, and occasionally a few firecrackers rang out from afar.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, scattered snow spots rarely drifted in Qiancheng. Wen Xi was very happy, and Zhu Yi was overjoyed to see that she was not a snowflake in her eyes because of this, and told her with big round eyes that if she had the opportunity to go to Xili, it would snow there all winter and even spring, very white and beautiful.

Wen Xi was a quiet girl, and she was as happy as a child at that time, she took Zhu Yi's hand and said again and again: "Okay, if I have the opportunity, I will follow you and go with you to see the snow." ”

In the middle of the night, the sound of firecrackers from the east crackled, and Chu Lin pulled a few people out of the house with an excited face. Qiu Shui hung several meters of firecrackers at the entrance of the garden and snaked them to the ground. Chu Lin couldn't wait to light the cannon, and Qiu Shui was still checking whether it was hung up at that time, but Chu Lin ordered it right under his nose.

Zhu Yi screamed in fright, and Chu Lin pulled Qiu Shui to dodge. The firecrackers exploded behind the two of them, and in an instant, sparks burst into their eyes. After she and Wen Xi covered their ears to confirm that the two were safe, they breathed a sigh of relief.

The first time I had a lot of fun, I didn't have a long memory for a while, the firecrackers went out, and I picked up a lot of fireworks and firecrackers.

Wen Xi grabbed him and sternly told him to pay attention to safety, Qiu Shui saw that he couldn't do it alone, so he went over to help him. Zhu Yi stood behind and told him to be careful about the "unreliable person", and the first time the fierce god glanced at her.

Qiu Shuiwu smiled to himself and took the three long fireworks.

The fireworks are very beautiful, the big flowers bloom in the night sky, bright and extinguished, bright and dazzling, with an indescribable shock.

The next day it was still dark, many people came to celebrate the New Year, Zhu Yi thought that they finally wanted to "reconcile" with themselves, but they didn't expect that all the girls who came, all dressed exquisitely, until they saw Qiu Shui and the first arrival, and left with a smile.

……

At night during the Chinese New Year, there is always a lot of noise before you are willing to rest.

Wen Xi moved the bench and sat around with the three of them, pulling Zhu Yi and telling interesting stories about Xili.

Yaozhuang does not accept customers, and many people who want to come to the door to give gifts to celebrate the New Year are refused. Later, I saw a large number of people coming from all directions, most of them trekking through mountains and rivers, and it was also hard. Zuo Zhu sent someone to clean out his vacant Jin Garden in the Thousand Cities, and arranged for the dusty visitors to rest there.

People come all the way over, bent on giving gifts, and introduce their little daughters by the way. The gift can not be accepted, Zuo Chu initially refused one by one, and then he was tired, so he lost much temperament, and he went into the study to read, and the rest of the trivial matters were all handled by the old housekeeper Lu.

Those naiveties were an eye-opener for Zhu Yi: the young ladies of each family, the ring is fat and thin, the graceful and beautiful, and the fragrance is gusting...... All turned away.

From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhuangzhong holds banquets one after another, does not welcome guests, and the people of Zhuangzhong talk about wine by themselves. Zuo Chu goes out much more throughout the year than in the village, and although he stays in the village during the New Year, he rarely shows up.

Xunfeng Yuan didn't go to join in the excitement, Zhu Yi rarely had self-knowledge: he was not welcomed, and he would be blinded if he went. She made a special trip to pay a New Year's greeting to Zuo Yin, but in addition to coaxing Zuo Yu to drink high, she didn't see Zuo Qi's face at all.

On the night of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the most important streets and alleys of Qiancheng held lantern riddles. That night, the whole city was brightly lit, with lanterns stretching for miles, and pedestrians surrounded the streets and alleys. Zhu Yi looked at the head-scratching lantern riddle, and he couldn't guess any of the sad ones.

Chu Lin hated the iron and pulled her pigtails, "You can guess one for me!" Zhu Yi replied angrily: "Do you have the ability?" ”

The two of them had half a pound or eight taels of literary attainments, and they really shut up obediently when they first came.

Wen Xi said: "It would be nice if the owner was here, none of these can make it difficult for him." Zhu Yi smacked his tongue: "Really? Wen Xi nodded: "Of course, nine years ago, the owner of the village was only eleven years old, and he guessed all the riddles in an alley." ”

Chu Lin blew his oblique bangs disdainfully: "Oh my God, how idle this person is." ”

Zhu Yi stabbed him hard in the elbow.

Several people squeezed forward with the flow of people, and several rows of lanterns behind them suddenly exploded with a "bang", exploding choking fireworks. Chu Lin subconsciously pressed Zhu Yi to his chest, and Qiu Shui protected Wen Xi.

Zhu Yi was frightened by the exploding lantern and bit her tongue.

The smoke was thick and could not be dispersed for a long time. Before she moved half a step, there was an exclamation in front of her, Zhu Yi stood on tiptoe to look, and Chulin knocked her and told her to be honest.

Chu Lin has a lot of strength and can't control it, when she is squeezed with people, she just holds Zhu Yi's head with both hands, and her body is so crowded that she can't keep up with the pace of moving forward.

Zhu Yi screamed in pain: "Brother! Brother! The head is going to be broken! Leave me alone, I'll go by myself! Chu Lin loved her and protected her: "Don't be afraid, follow my brother, I can't lose you." ”

Zhu Yi wailed: "It's really going to break!" ”

Chu Lin couldn't take care of it at all, so he still held her head and dragged it forward.

Someone in front of him fell, one fell, one fell, and soon the people who fell one after another fell down layer by layer. There was another exclamation, a gust of wind passed overhead, and she had a rare opportunity to stick her head out of Chulin's arm, and wiped her head with difficulty to look up, only to see a faint white shadow skimming by......

Leave a fragrant wind, a very fragrant wind......

Chu Lin was a little sluggish, Zhu Yi struggled to straighten up, a large number of people fell in front, the team could no longer move forward, she angrily hammered Chu Lin with a punch, and was about to scold, but Chu Lin seemed to be stupid, standing in place, looking at the direction where the white shadow disappeared, and murmuring: "What a beautiful ......"

Zhu Yi was speechless for a moment when he saw that he had lost his soul for the first time, and he didn't know how to scold him. A few more people flew over her head one after another, looking at the rapidly disappearing black shadow, she turned her stiff neck and said, "These people, there are still fights on the night of the Lantern Festival!" Isn't it good to fly down to enjoy the lanterns? ”

Chu Lin didn't reply, turned to look at Qiu Shui not far away, and said loudly: "You help watch the bamboo first, I'll come when I go." Zhu Yi's head stiffened, and he was so busy that he grabbed him: "Brother, what are you going to do?" ”

Chu Lin hurriedly said: "Those people must be chasing that girl, I'll take a look." ”

Qiu Shui said sharply over there: "What do they do? You take a good look at the bamboo! ”

Chu Linyi gritted his teeth, desperately squeezed the people around him, and pushed a handful of Zhu Yi, "Go to them." He jumped on the lampstand and disappeared in two or three clicks.

Zhu Yi: "......"

Wen Xi and Qiu Shui struggled for a long time before squeezing over, Wen Xi turned her head, "Is your head okay?" ”

Zhu Yi spat blood, licked his bitten tongue, and shook his head. Qiu Shui looked at the direction in which they disappeared and didn't speak, Zhu Yi said, "Why don't you go and take a look, my brother is reckless, what if something happens?" ”

Qiu Shui squinted, and his voice was several points lower: "Then let him go recklessly." With that, she walked to the outside of the crowd.

That night, the three of them waited for a long time in Qiancheng, but they didn't come back from Chulin. At the beginning of the day, it was really cold, so I had to go back to Yaozhuang Village.

Until noon on the second day, the first time I returned.

At that time, all three were catching up on sleep. By the time they woke up, it was already afternoon. Zhu Yi and Wen Xi yawned and went to the room of Chu Lin to look, but the picture of Chu Lin, who was covered in blood, lying motionless on the bed, scared all their sleepy insects at once.

Zhu Yi rushed over, grabbed the sleeve of the first arrival and shouted. Chu Lin snorted uncomfortably: "I'm fine, I'm sleepy, let me sleep for a while." ”

At night, I woke up at the first time. Zhu Yi just wanted to go over and ask about his situation, but Qiu Shui took a step ahead of her and pulled Chu Lin away with a cold face. After a long time, Chu Lin came back, Zhu Yi ran over, Chu Lin scratched his head, and said that he was fine.

She found a wound Gu to deal with the wounds on his body, and asked him what he had done that night, and he was excited when he first came to the whole person, he said that he saw the best looking person in the world, that girl was very good at kung fu, the beauty was injured and was hunted down, he went to help the girl fight the wicked, and he also hung up the lottery.

He said: "I didn't expect that the first time I played against someone, it was a good fight. ”

"It's just a pity that I couldn't ask the girl's name."

Zhu Yi said that since the two of you have been in peace all night, those bad guys seem to have been beaten badly by you. Chu Lin was even more excited, and the sparks that lit in his eyes turned red, and he said, "That girl killed them all!" Fast, accurate, ruthless! ”

She was stunned, looking at Chu Lin who was still immersed in that strange excitement, she looked away a little with some cringe, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, you didn't kill anyone, did you?" ”

Chulin was pulled back to reality by her small actions, and the excitement was washed away. He looked at her apologetically: "I'm sorry Bamboo, I shouldn't have left you yesterday." ”

It turned out that Qiu Shui pulled him away just now and gave him a hard beating. After all, in Qiu Shui's eyes, nothing is more important than the safety of Zhu Yi.

Zhu Yi shook his head: "It's okay if you're fine." ”

That being said, the first advent has changed since then, and everyone can see it. Although he still treats them as before, his thoughts will always drift away, and his meditative look often makes Zhu Yi unable to fathom it.

He was a person who had never been in a daze before, and every day he was like a lost soul, and no one knew what he was thinking.
