Chapter 117: Separation
"Liu Liang, why are you here?" Song Lingyue immediately stepped forward, "Is Aunt Li okay?" ā
Liu Liang gasped and nodded: "It's okay." I gave her painkillers after I sent her back, and by this time she was asleep. I didn't worry about you, so I came out to look for you. ā
Qi Mo glanced at Liu Liang, and his tone was a little cold: "There are so many people in the market today, it's really hard for you to find us." ā
Liu Liang said: "In previous years, fireworks were set off on the Qinghe River, and this year is definitely no exception. I think you must be going to Qingqiao to watch the fireworks, so I looked for you along the way to Qingqiao, but I didn't expect to find it. ā
Song Lingyue took out a handkerchief from her arms and reached out to help Liu Liang wipe the beads of sweat from her forehead: "You're tired all the way, right?" Now that the fireworks haven't started yet, why don't we find a tea stall to rest for a while before going to Qingqiao? ā
"No, it's not early." Liu Liang refused without thinking, and hurriedly dodged Song Lingyue's hand that wiped his sweat under Qi Mo's gaze. "If you don't dare to go to Qingqiao again, there will be more people in a while."
Qi Mo spoke coldly, and there was a little more sarcasm in his tone: "If you don't stop us, we will all be at Qingqiao by now." ā
After saying this, Qi Mo strode forward, not caring whether the people behind him could keep up or not.
"Why is this guy playing a child's temper again, it's really speechless." Song Lingyue rolled her eyes at Qi Mo's back, and turned to comfort Liu Liang: "Don't take it to heart, he's like this, don't be awkward." ā
"Does Miss Lingyue know Qi Mo very well?" Liu Liang looked at Song Lingyue's eyes and asked.
Song Lingyue seemed to be choked, if she said that she knew Liu Liang better than she knew Qi Mo, but why did her words for him come out of her mouth without thinking?
"Miss Lingyue, did I say the wrong thing?" Liu Liang narrowed his gaze and lowered his eyes.
"No, you're not wrong." A wry smile appeared on the corner of Song Lingyue's lips, "I don't know him, and I don't know you, just let me just talk to myself." ā
Song Lingyue lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, but clenched the lantern in her hand.
The peach blossom lantern bloomed with a leisurely halo, but Song Lingyue felt that her whole body was shrouded in layers of fog, and she couldn't see the surroundings or the road ahead.
I don't know who pushed her from behind Song Lingyue, Song Lingyue staggered a few steps and almost slipped, and when she finally stabilized her figure, she found that she was surrounded by a group of girls who were about her age.
Those cardamom girls wore delicate makeup, their long hair was coiled up, their hairpins were shaking, and they were carrying the same lanterns as Song Lingyue in their hands, chattering and talking.
Beyond the figure of those cardamom girls, he could vaguely see Liu Liang's tall figure not far away, he was lowering his head at this time, and he didn't know what Song Yanzhi and Xiangling were talking about, and he didn't notice the situation on Song Lingyue's side.
Song Lingyue also wanted to be quiet alone, thinking that Song Yanzhi and Xiangling were under the care of Liu Liang, so she was also relieved to follow the group of cardamom girls around her and walked forward, thinking that they were also going to Qingqiao to watch the fireworks.
I could only hear the girl in the water green skirt on her side and say with an expectant look to the bright girl who was wearing a water pink skirt next to her and had a golden step on her head:
"I heard that the fireworks for today's Flower Dynasty Festival were transported from the capital, so I'm looking forward to it."
The girl in the gouache skirt also smiled and nodded:
"Last year's fireworks were already very beautiful, I don't know what this year's fireworks will look like."
The girl in the water green skirt put her hands together on her chest, and her anticipation was overflowing:
"Ah, I really want to see the fireworks soon."
The girl in the aqua red shirt bent out in a mischievous arc and quipped:
"I don't just want to see fireworks, do I? You should have told your brother Jin that you were mentioning a plum lantern today, right? He must not find the wrong one. ā
"Sister Ming, you're so bad!" The girl's face turned red all of a sudden, and she swung her pink fist and hit the woman she called 'Sister Ming'.
"Alright, alright! It's almost time to get to Xiaoqing River! When the river lantern is finished, you hurry to Qingqiao, my brother must be waiting for you there. The girl in the gouache skirt reached out and pinned the broken hair of the girl in the green skirt behind her ear, and the smile on the corner of her lips was very gentle.
Song Lingyue followed the footsteps of the two and walked all the way forward, listening to the sound of the two girls talking and laughing, and seeing the shyness on the face of the girl in the green shirt, the corners of Song Lingyue's lips couldn't help but evoke a faint smile: It's really good to be young.
The mood that was just boring was swept away all at once before I knew it.
It's better to hurry up and find Qi Mo and them, she should let them worry if she runs away from them like this.
Thinking like this, Song Lingyue turned around and wanted to find Qi Mo or Liu Liang, but when she looked up, Song Lingyue was stunned.
It turned out that she was so preoccupied just now that she didn't pay attention to the road under her feet at all, but just followed the girls to the front, and unknowingly took the wrong road.
Song Lingyue said that she had been coming to Jizhou Mansion for a few months, but there were only a few places she often visited, but Song Lingyue had never been to this place.
Song Lingyue carefully identified the surrounding buildings, trying to identify the buildings she was familiar with, but found that it was in vain.
Song Lingyue seemed to have left the outskirts of the city following the steps of those girls, leaving the lively market far behind.
Not far away is a small river with a gurgling water, and there are a few families on both sides of the river, but there are not many families.
At this time, there were already a lot of women gathered along the river, each carrying a lantern in her hand, and even more so in her hand.
Even the two girls who followed Song Lingyue just now took out a river lantern made of cardboard folded from their sleeves.
Song Lingyue stepped forward to catch up with the two girls, "I'm sorry to bother you." ā
The two girls turned their heads one after another, and the girl in the green skirt looked at Song Lingyue curiously.
"IāI'm coming to this place for the first time, can I ask you, how do I get to Qingqiao?"
"You're going to Qingqiao? How did you come to Xiaoqing River? The girl in the aqua green dress asked suspiciously.
Song Lingyue explained embarrassedly: "There were too many people in the market, and I accidentally got separated from my friends." Then I saw you, and thought you were going to Qingqiao too, so I came with you, and then I ......."
"I see." The girl in the pink Luo skirt nodded, "We are indeed going to Qingqiao, but we need to put the river lantern before we go to Qingqiao." I think you have made an appointment with someone with a lantern in your hand, right? ā
"Why are you ......" Song Lingyue was surprised.
"Today, women carrying lanterns with various floral patterns and shapes at the Flower Dynasty Festival go to Qingqiao." The girl in the gouache skirt explained with a smile.
Seeing that Song Lingyue still didn't know anything, a knowing smile crossed her eyes, "If you want to go to Qingqiao, you just need to walk all the way north along this Xiaoqing River, and after passing by Fengbo Pavilion, you can see Qingqiao by walking across the small stone bridge." ā
"Thank you." Song Lingyue hurriedly thanked her, and hurriedly followed the direction provided by the gouache skirt woman with the lantern.
While running, he sighed: "It's good to buy a lantern, otherwise I would have lost sight of this road." ā
"Qi Mo, they found out that I was gone, they will definitely look for me everywhere, I don't know if they will wait for me in Qingqiao? Anyway, let's go to Qingqiao first. Even if they can't find Qi Mo and Liu Liang, after the fireworks are over, they can return to the market with the crowd. ā
Song Lingyue made up her mind to pay attention, so she didn't delay any longer, and kept running forward with the lantern.
The path on the river embankment was covered with cobblestones, and it was not very easy to walk, and Song Lingyue stumbled a little all the way.
I don't know how long I walked, but a beam of bright pillars of light was drawn in the dark night sky, and then the pillar of light rose high in the night sky, exploded, and bloomed into dazzling fireworks.
The light lit up the night sky and lit up the city.
The stone bridge across the river not far away was already close in front of her, and Song Lingyue ran forward in the direction of the fireworks.
Let's talk about Qi Mo's side.
Qi Mo walked forward angrily for a while, and found that neither Liu Liang nor Song Lingyue had caught up with him.
Qi Mo could only turn back again, if he turned his head sideways at this time, he could see the depressed Song Lingyue, who was sandwiched between a group of girls who were also carrying lanterns, and was about to walk into another unknown alley.
"Why are you so slow?" Qi Mo complained first, he glanced at Liu Liang and the three of them, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he looked left and right: "Why is it only you?" What about Song Lingyue? ā
Liu Liang was stunned when he heard this, raised his head and just wanted to say that Song Lingyue was nearby, but when he raised his eyes, he found that Song Lingyue was gone.
"Where's my sister?" "Where's Master?"
Song Yanzhi and Xiangling asked questions in unison, raised their heads and looked at Qi Mo at the same time, and the eyes of the three of them were full of doubts.
"Could it be that the crowd suddenly poured out just now, and Miss Lingyue got separated from us, right?"
Liu Liang analyzes the most likely scenario.
"What are you still doing? Hurry up and find it! Qi Mo didn't have a good breath, "Let's split up and get the people back quickly." She is not familiar with Jizhou Mansion, don't get lost again. ā
"Good. Then you go to Qingqiao, I will take them to look around here, and when we find it, we will meet at Qingqiao together. Liu Liang made a decision.
Qi Mo turned around and ran towards Qingqiao, and he had already walked out of the country before he felt that something was wrong.
Obviously, he is the master, why did he listen to Liu Liang's command.
Forget it, no matter what, finding Song Lingyue now is the most important thing. Thinking so, Qi Mo couldn't help but speed up his pace and rushed towards Qingqiao.
When Song Lingyue arrived at Qingqiao, she realized that Qingqiao was not a bridge.
