Chapter Seventy-Six: Meeting Again on the Edge of the Luo River
After a full meal, Hua Chengcheng said hello to Aunt Hui and left the inn happily.
Out of the inn, the painting is like a bird that has been released, every time you pass by a small stall, you have to take a look, and you can't help but come forward to touch it when you find something new.
"Girl, do you want to buy noodles? It's very cheap for a penny!" a noodle pinching vendor stopped at his stall and greeted him warmly.
"It's so beautiful, it's the same as the real thing, can you eat this thing?" Hua Chengcheng carefully picked up a noodle man, stared at it with big eyes for a long time, and asked a question that made the peddler almost faint.
The corner of the vendor's mouth twitched, and then he said embarrassedly: "The girl is really good at laughing, this person is pinched with noodles, but it is used for watching and playing, not for eating." β
"Oh...... It's not for food. Also, it's a pity that such a beautiful noodle person eats it. As if he was talking to himself, he casually put the noodle back in place.
Leaving the noodle seller's stall, the painting Allure walked all the way and looked all the way, and unconsciously walked to the bank of the Luo River.
"Sell river lanterns, sell river lanterns! One three cents, two five cents ......" On the riverbank, many vendors selling river lanterns shouted loudly.
"Is this thing called a river lantern?" asked Hua Chengcheng, pointing to the river lantern on a small stall and looking at the vendor at the stall.
"The girl is not from Wansang Country?" the vendor did not directly answer the question of Painting Allure, but looked at her with some doubts, secretly wondering which country around Wansang Country is famous for its beautiful women, and can actually give birth to such a beautiful woman.
"Oh...... I have been learning art in the mountains with my master since I was a child, so I have never seen any of these things. "It's a lie.
"I see, that girl probably doesn't know the use of this river ......lantern, does it?"
"I know!" Before the peddler could finish speaking, the painting was full of confidence and interrupted, "This river lantern is used to guide the souls of deceased relatives, or to pray for oneself." β
"Yes, yes, yes, the girl knows that it is the best! I have a complete range of river lanterns here, and the prices are fair, the girl can see which one she likes, and choose whatever she likes!" said the vendor with a smile, pointing to the river lantern in front of his stall.
The eyes of the painting Allure looked back and forth on the river lamps of different styles, and finally landed on a red and bright river lamp.
The river lantern is made in the shape of a flower, the petals are very thin, each petal is of different lengths and slightly curled towards the stamen, except for the base, the color of the whole river lantern is bright red as blood.
The eyes of the painting Allure stared directly at the lamp, as if something was calling her, so that she unconsciously stretched out her hand.
Just as her hand was about to touch the bright red river lantern, a big five-fingered slender hand took the river lantern up before her, and at the same time, a slightly low but extremely magnetic voice sounded faintly in the ears of Hua Chengcheng: "I want this lamp." β
Before she could withdraw her empty hand, the face of a man who seemed to be as handsome as a demon and as a fairy came into her eyes.
The man looks like he has just passed the age of the weak crown, wearing a moon-white robe, long eyebrows and sideburns, a pair of phoenix eyes are bright and deep, and the perfect facial contour seems to be carved by a craftsman.
Looking at the man next to him, he couldn't help but feel a little stupid. She suddenly remembered her aunt's words, and her aunt said that she was extremely beautiful, and such a look was really eye-catching. In the past, she couldn't understand the concept of a person's appearance attracting attention, but now she has a deep understanding that when a person looks good and can't be described, she can't afford others not to pay attention.
The man also seemed to notice that Hua Allure was staring at him intently, and he turned his head slightly, and looked at Hua Allure with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
As if he had finally realized his gaffe, Hua Chengcheng hurriedly retracted his hand hanging in mid-air, and said timidly: "This ...... This little brother, this lamp ...... The light was the first thing I looked at......"
The man's deep eyes condensed slightly when he heard the words "little brother", there was only one person in this world who called him "little brother", and that was the cute little girl who once said that she would draw a pair of purple eyes for him. If that little girl was still alive, she would be as old as the woman in front of her, and maybe she would have been born so beautiful and moving.
"You say, you also have a crush on this lamp?" the man's deep voice once again coolly entered the ears of the painting Allure.
"yes, I was about to reach for it, and you took it. Hua Allure blinked his big bright eyes and said very honestly.
The vendor on the side looked at the pair of young men and women in front of him, and was stunned for a while, until the man turned his eyes to him again, and asked lightly: "Boss, is this the only lamp this one?"
The peddler was only a spirit, and hurriedly said: "No, no, there is another lamp, I will give it to the two of you." β
The peddler quickly found another bright red lantern from the pile of river lanterns that were not displayed in the stall under his stall and handed it to the young man.
The man took the lantern and handed it to Hua Chengcheng, and then he took out a string of copper coins and put it in the vendor's hand: "Give me another pen and two pieces of paper." You don't have to look for the rest. β
The peddler happily took the money, handed the pen and paper to the young man, and said, "Thank you to this son, may the son and his sweetheart have a lover and eventually become married!"
The man smiled slightly, turned around and looked at the painting Allure who was still in a daze: "Girl, if you don't mind, let's go and put the river lantern together." β
The painting nodded sneeringly, holding the river lantern in his hand, and the whole person followed the man towards the river as if he was enchanted.
The peddler looked at the figure of the two of them drifting apart, then rubbed his eyes, and said to himself: "What's the matter today? Isn't it the golden boy and jade girl next to the Jade Emperor? How can there be such a good-looking person in this world?"
Painting Allure followed the man all the way to the edge of the river, I don't know why, she had an indescribable feeling, as if she had known the man in front of her for a long, long time, and there seemed to be an aura on his body that was pulling her, making her feel cordial, and she couldn't help but want to get closer.
The man was also a little puzzled in his heart at this time, this style of river lantern was one of the deepest memories in his heart, and he didn't understand why he would buy a Manzhu Sawa to give to this girl, maybe it was just because of the "little brother" when she spoke.
Shaking his head, the man picked up the pen and wrote a few words on the paper, and then he handed the pen to Hua Chengcheng and said, "Write something." β
She bit her lip and asked cautiously, "Little brother, can you show me what you wrote?"
Hearing this question, the man's eyes were slightly condensed, the same festival, the same title, the same question, could the woman in front of him be the same person fifteen years ago?
But he couldn't help but think about it, his hand had already subconsciously handed the paper to the front of the painting Allure.
"Three thousand weak water?" Hua Chengcheng stared at the words on the paper, her long eyelashes flickered, and then she smiled: "Hehe, I understand this." β
After that, the painting Allure took up the pen and wrote the words "only take one scoop" in the man's complicated gaze.
"Girl, you...... What's your name?" the man finally asked. For a moment he had forgotten how rude it was to ask the name of a woman he had met for the first time.
"My name is Allure, what about you, little brother?"
Pleasure......
She said her name was Allure.
......
"My name is Allure, and this name was given by the patriarch's grandfather. Brother Cang must remember!"
That childish and crisp voice echoed in the man's mindβher name was Allure, and he had never forgotten it.
There was an inexplicable emotion that came over him, and he actually felt that he seemed to be a little excited, and that feeling did not know if it was the joy of being lost and regained, or if he might finally have the opportunity to experience that joy.
"You...... What's your last name?" the man's voice grew deeper and deeper, as if to suppress the tremor in his heart.
Painting Allure shook his head: "Allure is Allure, there is no surname, that's what my aunt called me since I was a child." β
Only a name, no surname? Is it an orphan?
"And what's your aunt's name?" the man asked.
"Auntie is aunt, I don't know what my aunt's name is, she never told me. Hua Chengcheng still shook his head and said very innocently.
She said her name was Allure, she said she had an aunt, she said she didn't know what her last name was, and she didn't know what her aunt's name was. Is she the one who is, and will her aunt be the one who cares?
Seeing that the man seemed to be in deep thought, Hua Chengcheng thought about it and asked in a low voice, "Little brother, what about you?"
The man came back to his senses, looked directly at her delicate and beautiful face, and said lightly after a long time: "I don't have a name. β
"Thoughtless...... Brother Wunian, don't you have a surname?" asked Hua Chengcheng again.
Cang Wunian turned his head, looked at the river lamps dotted in the river, and his tone was a little indifferent and cold: "If I have to say that there is, then my surname is Gu." β
"Gu Wunian?" the painting Allure muttered quietly. For some reason, she felt that the little brother in front of her didn't seem to want his surname Gu, but she didn't ask any more curiously, but said with a smile: "Brother Wunian, let's put the river lantern together!"
Two bright red river lamps were lit up, and slowly left the sight of the two along the direction of the water.
A trace of sorrow rose in Cang Wunian's heart, it seems that the girl next to her should not be the little girl back then, if it were her, with her innocent heart, she would definitely say that she had let go of the river lantern with a little boy here.
