Chapter 25 Qixi Festival
And what about Mu Xuan's side?
As soon as Mu Xuan received the news, he immediately set off to Mrs. Pang's hut, but when he arrived, he found that the house was empty.
Mu Xuan was looking forward to it just now, as if he wanted to see his heart of hope fall heavily again, and he sent a large number of people to look around like crazy.
Soon, the hard work paid off, and a guard accidentally learned from the conversation of the woodcutter who was chopping wood on the mountain that the family seemed to have been captured by the bandits, and after getting the news, the guard hurriedly reported to Mu Xuan.
Mu Xuan, who was anxiously looking for someone, heard that his son had been captured by the bandits, and his angry five fingers clenched into fists, and his bones turned white due to excessive force.
"Damn, they're so bold!"
The roar of the ferocious beast accompanied by the internal force instantly spread to the surroundings, startling a group of foraging birds in the jungle, and before the sound dissipated, Mu Xuan's figure quickly flew towards the cottage that the woodcutter said.
But when Mu Xuan rushed to the cottage, he found that the huge village was empty at this time.
"Ahh
Many hopes, many failures, where are you?
Mu Xuan finally couldn't bear the torture in his heart, he was almost broken, he suddenly let out a long roar, and struck forward with a palm, and a thick tree fell to the ground in an instant with Mu Xuan's whistle, leaving only a stump the size of a bowl standing there, proving that there was a very thick tree here.
……
The days gradually flowed like flowing water, and a month passed in a blink of an eye, Mo Li played music for Mu Feng every day, chatted with Mrs. Pang, and the days were very relaxed, except for a figure that often appeared in his mind, but he couldn't get rid of it.
"Li'er, this hosta is for you." Mu Feng took out a hosta from his arms and handed it to Mo Li.
"Thank you, Brother Feng" In the past month, Mo Li's relationship with Mu Feng has become a lot closer, and Mo Li has already regarded Mu Feng as his brother.
However, after a month of getting along, Mu Feng felt as if he had an inexplicable feeling for Li'er, and every time Li'er played the piano for her, it was the happiest time for him, letting go of all his troubles and all pretenses, and the two hearts treated each other honestly like that, revealing his truest side.
Laugh when he's happy, don't force a smile if he's not happy, it's a good feeling to be a true self, he began to fall in love with this feeling, and fell in love with the feeling of being with Mo.
"Li'er, today is the Qixi Festival, and it will be very lively at night, Brother Feng will take you out to play." Mu Feng rubbed Mo Li's hair dotingly and said slightly.
"Tanabata Festival? What is the Tanabata Festival? Mo Li scratched his head and said.
"Don't you know about the Qixi Festival?" Mu Feng was a little surprised, women are more sensitive to this festival, and it is because of this that he wanted to hint at his heart through this method, but he didn't expect Li'er to have never heard of it.
"I accidentally injured my head before I left my son and lost my memory."
A trace of helplessness slipped through the corners of Mo Li's mouth, this is also something she cares about very much, watching others do their filial piety and the whole family is happy, and she doesn't know if her parents and relatives are alive, she doesn't know where she lives, and she can't even know her name, it feels like she is the only one left in the dark room, like so lonely, and so helpless.
"Li'er was injured and lost his memory?" , Mu Feng gently hugged Mo Li in his arms and said warmly: "In the future, Brother Feng will be here, and I will not let Li'er be injured again, Brother Feng will protect you." Mu Feng was making a promise to Mo Li, but Mo Li, who lacked emotional roots, didn't hear even half a point.
"Just let Brother Feng accompany you for the first Qixi Festival, okay?" Mu Feng looked at Mo Li's eyes affectionately and said softly.
"Okay!" Mo Li didn't accept the friendship in Mu Feng's gaze at all, and replied happily.
As the night gets darker, the market in the city is getting more and more lively, and the girls who used to be in the boudoir have moved out one after another, hoping to beg for their marriage and find the destined person for their fate on this day.
……
"Rock sugar gourd, sell rock sugar gourd," a hawker shouted.
"It's so lively!" Mo Li excitedly pulled Mu Feng to run there, look here and look over there, the bright smile on his face has never disappeared, Mo Li who has left the other garden is simply very happy, in the end, Mo Li, who has lost his memory, is like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in ordinary people at this time, with a carefree and innocent appearance, and the innocent and bright smile made Mu Feng dazzled, "Brother Feng, I want to eat that, and that." ”
"Okay, whatever Li'er wants, Brother Feng will buy it for you." Mu Feng looked at the innocent Mo Li and said with a doting smile.
"Brother Feng is so good." Mo took Mu Feng's hand from his heart, shook Mu Feng's arm in a coquettish tone, and spoke.
Feeling the intimate posture of Mo Li at this moment, Mu Feng felt an inexpressible joy in his heart.
"Good accessories, let's take a look. Childe, come and choose an ornament for the girl" A middle-aged woman looked at Mu Feng and greeted, Mu Feng didn't pay attention to it, how could this cheap jewelry match his li'er.
Seeing that Mu Feng didn't stop at all, the woman hurriedly greeted Mo Li again: "Girl, come and pick a gift for your son." Mo Li was just about to follow Mu Feng forward, when he heard the woman's words, he slowly stopped.
Yes, for so long, Brother Feng has always given her gifts, and she has not given Brother Feng a gift, so she walked towards the women's stall.
Seeing Mo Li coming over, the woman's smile became more attentive, and she introduced with a flattering smile on her face: "Girl, look at my jewelry, it is exquisitely made, good and cheap, look at this hair comb, and then look at the hairband......
Mu Feng followed Mo Li to the front of the stall and glanced at the things on the stall casually.
Oh, the price is good, as for the good quality, he didn't see it at all. But looking at Li'er's actions of picking left and right, carefully selecting, Mu Feng stood aside with a smile and appreciation, and occasionally expressed a few words of his opinion.
"How much does this hairpin cost boss?" After a period of extremely careful selection, Mo Li asked the woman with a hairpin.
"It's not much, it's just three taels of silver." The woman said flatteringly.
"Three-two?" Mo Li frowned.
"I'll come," Mu Feng took out the money bag and had to pay.
"Wait!" Mo Li hurriedly stopped Mu Feng, "How can he pay for the gift himself" Hurriedly took out three taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the woman, and then pulled Mu Feng away without looking back, afraid that he would change his decision if he looked at it again, it was three taels of silver, Mo Li thought painfully in his heart.
"Sent me?" Mu Feng took the hairpin that Mo Li stuffed into his hand and said in surprise.
"Yes! For such a long time, Brother Feng first saved me and my grandmother, and always gave Li'er gifts, but Li'er was not able to repay Brother Feng's kindness. Li'er can't help it, this hairpin should be a gift from Li'er, I know that this hairpin may be a little ...... for Brother Feng But no matter how you say it, it is also Li'er's intention, I hope that Brother Feng will not dislike it. ”
"Li'er" Mu Feng rubbed Mo Li's head, "Silly girl, what is there to repay and not repay?" Brother Feng is not allowed to see outside in the future, I will accept this hairpin today, but I will not take it as an example, and I am not allowed to say anything about repayment in the future, and I ...... in addition."
Mu Feng said, deliberately sticking it to Mo Li's ear, and said softly: "As long as it is given by Li'er, Brother Feng likes it." ”
"That's good!" After Mo Li finished speaking, he walked forward quickly, and Mu Feng's ears had become flushed at this time.
Mu Feng looked at Mo Li's cute and shy appearance and smiled softly, carefully put the hairpin in his arms, and then quickly caught up with Mo Li.
The two of them walked hand in hand in the bustling and lively bazaar, holding the soft wattle in their hands, the delicate and smooth touch made Mu Feng feel uneasy, and Mo Li, who was walking in front, did not feel anything wrong.
If in normal times, a woman pulling a man's hand on the street must be pointed at and scolded for insulting morality, but on this day, everyone thinks they are a pair of young lovers, and no one cares too much, but many lovers are quite envious when they see their tightly holding hands, and they also take the initiative to secretly hold the other half's hand with a slightly red face.
"Wow, Brother Feng, look, what beautiful fireworks." Mo Li held Mu Feng's hand and jumped excitedly, without the reserved color of a woman.
"Well, it's really beautiful, like my departed son." Mu Feng said dotingly.
Mo Li's face flushed slightly, and he was a little embarrassed to be praised by others. But it was only for a moment, and I was immediately attracted by the brilliant fireworks.
The brilliant fireworks and the reflection of the lake are like a fairyland on earth, Moli is concentrating on appreciating the fireworks, while Mu Feng looks at Moli affectionately.
At this moment, the flowers, the full moon, the good day, and the beautiful woman are all so beautiful......
However, some people rejoice and some are worried.
At this time, Mu Xuan was standing alone on the top of the city tower, holding the wine jar and looking at the pair of happy lovers below, thinking about the departure in his heart.
"Goo~Goo~"
A few gulps of liquor were swallowed, and the huge wine jar bottomed out in a while, where is his departure now? Looking at the pairs of couples downstairs in the city, Mu Xuan's hand holding the wine jar gradually clenched, at this time he should have spent this festival with Li'er, but Li'er was nowhere to be seen at this time...... Thinking of this, Mu Xuan vigorously threw the empty altar to the ground.
"Bang"
Another empty jar shattered, "Someone has come and brought wine." ”
"Tell the Third Highness, a vendor just now said that it seems that he has found the woman His Highness is looking for." A guard said stubbornly when he saw the broken wine jar on the ground, and secretly slandered His Highness in his heart how much wine he had drunk.
"Found it?" Hearing the guard's report, Mu Xuan wanted to get up and walk quickly, but found that his body was a little unbalanced, and sat down again.
"Yes, I found it, and the peddler said that he saw a girl who looked very similar to the portrait on the emperor's list and a son watching fireworks at the Yueming Bridge." The guard bowed his head.
"Yueming Bridge, watch the fireworks, and a son?" Mu Xuan swept the surrounding wine jars to the ground, then staggered and struggled to get up, and quickly swept towards the direction of the Yueming Bridge.
