16 Bai Ran's thanks, the old man is gone
South Street, at the end of the stone bridge, a century-old laurel is surrounded by a sea of people, long before the "Lixia Festival", in order to better render the atmosphere, this laurel has obviously become the top priority.
The magistrate specially found a famous craftsman, threw it back from the ground, and then raised and strengthened it, and made a bluestone platform about three feet high on the periphery to prevent children from climbing, and at the same time to facilitate the blessing activities of the elderly in the future.
At this time, an old man with crane hair and white clothes and a dust-whisk in his hand was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform with his eyes closed.
Four feet in front of him, women, children, and old people sat in a staggered circle, adult men stood on the periphery, and the stone bridge and even the river were full at this time, and there was no place to move.
As soon as the time came, I only heard the sound of "bang", and a cluster of special fireworks went straight into the sky, and the light shone enough to illuminate half of the street, making the street that was still a little noisy just now quiet for a while.
At this time, except for some catchers and officials who patrolled at fixed points, everyone's eyes were almost focused on the old man.
At the same time as the light of the fireworks dissipated, the old man slowly opened his eyes, and to his breathless surprise, the old man's eyes were dull and unfocused, but they did not affect his arrogance at all.
I saw him, raised the dust and swept it in the air, the trees were full of gold, fluttering melodiously with the wind, and at the same time, a simple and quiet sound came from his body.
The sweet osmanthus fragrance is intertwined with ancient music, there is an indescribable wonderful feeling, slowly substituting people into a piece of tranquility, the old man's lips move slightly, but the sound is three miles away, slowly telling the ancient and distant legends.
"Wow......" Wan Yuan was motionless before, looking at the eaves with wide eyes and intently, until the surprised scene just now, she couldn't help but be surprised, but she immediately covered her mouth and looked around, for fear of attracting attention.
Because they were sitting on the eaves of the inn opposite the laurel tree at this time, at a reasonable height overlooking the entire North and South Streets, I have to say that it is a bit out of line, this is really a good place to enjoy the scenery.
"Huh!" Bai Ran looked at her surprised and timid little appearance, smiled and approached and asked, "Is it interesting?" ”
Seeing Bai Ran approaching, Wan Yuan grabbed his sleeve, couldn't help but turn his head to look below, and said: "Well, have you seen it, that old man is really amazing, he swept away the buds and music, and I don't see that he can send the sound so far with effort, do you think he will be an immortal?" ”
Hearing this, Bai Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, his smile grew thicker, and he said softly to the bright eyes of Wu Yuan: "Close your eyes." ”
Wan Yuan looked at him puzzled, Bai Ran was not in a hurry, and repeated again: "Good, close your eyes." ”
Wan Yuan nodded and closed his eyes obediently.
When he opened his eyes, Bai Ran was still sitting on one leg and bent on his knees, just slightly sideways, with one arm on his bent knee, and the other behind him.
Wu Yuan subconsciously looked sideways at his back, while Bai Ran gently pushed back tighter.
Looking at her slightly pursed cherry lips, Bai Ran chuckled and asked, "Are you ready?" ”
"What?" Wu Yuan looked at him blankly, a little hesitant.
"Accept my thank you, are you ready?" Bai Ran explained with a smile.
"Huh? What thanksgiving? "Wu Yuan was a little skeptical that he had become stupid.
"Thank you for what you said to me before, that ...... me Very important. Bai Ran replied solemnly, and after speaking, he didn't wait for her reaction, and slowly moved the hand hidden behind him to her eyes.
When Wan Yuan was still thinking about which sentence Bai Ran was referring to, Leng couldn't help but see the hand he had just taken out, his eyes glued, and then moved to the front.
At this time, on Bai Ran's finger-bone hand, there was a slowly rotating golden flower ball in the air, and the flower ball was surrounded by a faint colorful halo, which was beautiful and dizzying.
"Hand it." Seeing that Wan Yuan was stunned and distracted at the flower ball, Bai Ran said softly.
Hearing this, Wu Yuan's eyes glued to the flower ball, looked at him slightly, and saw him bow his head to signal, and slowly stretched out his hand with his palm upward.
Bai Ran immediately flicked, and the flower ball rolled towards her smartly, Wan Yuan was frightened for a while, for fear of breaking it, so he was busy catching it with both hands, and the flower ball seemed to have spirituality, floating steadily on the immature palm.
Unable to feel its weight, Wu Yuan curiously checked it up and down, and the flower ball floated up and down, and Wu Yuan excitedly said: "Ah...... It's funny. ”
The more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and I couldn't help but stretch out my fingertips to touch it, but I didn't know, just after touching it, the flower balls exploded all at once, facing the flower buds scattered in the palm of his hand, Wu Yuan was a little dumbfounded, pouted aggrievedly, and turned his head to look at Bai Ran.
Bai Ran looked at her expression, raised his hand to touch her head with a smile, and said, "Blow and try." ”
"What will happen?" Wu Yuan's eyes suddenly returned to shining brightly, and he looked at him.
"Just try it, I don't know." Bai Ran's index fingertip swept the bridge of his nose, and turned his head away from her with a smile.
Wan Yuan did not doubt him, paused, puffed his cheeks slightly, and slowly blew on the buds in his palm, and the scattered buds slowly swirled and drifted away with her breath.
At the same time, Bai Ran raised his arm, and his sleeves waved leisurely downward, and the tiny buds gently swirled together, like a golden thread, floating downward.
The laurel tree, which was already stationary, gently rolled up a large golden wind whirlwind as the air flow entangled, and went up the canopy, the wind whirlwind gradually expanded, and finally exploded silently in the air.
For a while, everywhere as far as the eye could see, everything was filled with a sea of flowers and fragrance.
People immersed in the story rarely saw this scene with a sense of attention, and naturally no one noticed the sudden tremor on the laurel branch, only from a canopy docked at the ferry, a secret voice came out of the "tsk, and this hand, it's amazing." ”
Bai Ran smiled secretly when he heard this, but did not reply.
Wu Yuan looked at everything in front of him, lost his mind again, and slowly stretched out his hand, and the petals that drifted with the breeze gently fell on his palm.
At this moment, the silence was broken by the voices of men and women from the next roof.
"Ahh
"Look, look"
"Oh my God, what's that"
"It's so beautiful."
"Indeed...... Beautiful"
"Well, I've never seen such a beautiful view"
I saw that three delicate and upright teenagers were standing on the ridge of the roof, and there were four other people next to them, three of whom were still lying on the other side, only the upper half of their bodies were exposed, staring at the sea of flowers in front of them in a daze, and one was trying to pull them up.
Wan Yuan looked at this group of young and energetic teenagers and girls, couldn't help but laugh, and then looked at Bai Ran, the two looked at each other, immersed in each other's smiles against the backdrop of the sky flower dance.
At this time, above the roof of the house next door.
Yue Xiao frowned slightly, glanced at Yue Tianyu, and understood in her heart that the two of them were thinking about one thing, and they were all strange, obviously the angle they looked at before they came up was not like this, it should be the direction of the laurel tree next door, how did they feel that they had deviated after coming up......
However, they didn't know that there were also people on the roof next door, because Bai Ran had already set up an enchantment before, not to mention that they couldn't see it, and even if they couldn't climb it, they couldn't climb it.
Yue Zheng also realized something at this time, and just wanted to go next door, but was pulled back by Yue Cao.
Considering that the two inns are separated by a narrow alley, a few of them who practice martial arts are okay, and it is not difficult to cross with light skills, but with two female dependents and a disabled person, Yue Tianyu still chose a nearby place to settle down at the moment.
At this time, a group of young people and girls in their prime sat lightly on the roof, some listened carefully to the story, some talked softly, some lay idly on the roof and watched the galaxy, and some looked at the people in front of them, and their thoughts drifted away.
With a sweet smell in the breeze, the simplicity and beauty of the young girl at this moment make today's night more moving.
After a stick of incense, the story was coming to an end, and on the canopy boat at the ferry, Yue Yunchu said to Xiahou Chong: "I should be ready to pick up things, you go back first." ”
"......" Xiahou Chong looked at her with a dark face.
He accompanied Yue Yunchu for most of the night, nesting on this broken ship for an hour, but this person actually asked him to go back first, fortunately his spear was in the capital, otherwise he might be splattered with blood on the spot......
"Are you sure you can?" Xiahou Chong asked coldly.
"What do you think? Do you want to give it a try? Yue Yunchu said, began to move her wrist, and looked sideways at Xiahou Chong.
“……”
When Xiahou Chong heard this, he ignored her, got up and jumped, jumped onto the ferry with the help of the boatman's pole, and entered the street and drowned in the sea of people in an instant.
Pity a boatload of people, except for Yue Yunchu, who almost capsized on their backs again.
"Hey, stingy." Looking at the resentful look of a boatload of people, Yue Yunchu scratched her forehead embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, this person is sick." ”
Then, with a jump, learn Xiahou Chong to jump into the street.
“……”
At this time, the story has ended, and the people have become active because of the rumored ending of the lottery, and the crowd begins to stir, gradually pouring in the direction of the old man in white.
Seeing that the original distance of four feet began to shrink, the patrolling catchers and officials quickly rushed into the crowd and evacuated to block, but they were unable to support it because of more and more people.
At this moment, several loud noises of "bang, bang, bang......" in all directions of Yuehua County in turn, fiery fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the commotion crowd was shocked by the grand scene in front of them for a while, forgetting to push.
Another sound of "pop" sounded, and a puff of smoke rolled out from the old man in white, and everyone was shocked to disperse, a breeze blew, and the smoke quickly dispersed.
The people gathered together were a little stunned, and after looking around, after making sure that the figure of the old man in white was gone, most of them turned around and left in disappointment, leaving only a small number of people, still stopping under the laurel and looking forward to the so-called colorful head.
Yuexiao and a few people had already gone down the roof, and at this time they were sitting under the laurel tree, and happened to meet Yueyunchu who came from the stone bridge in the north.
"Auntie"
"Cousin"
Several people shouted in unison.
"It's all gone, why are you still here?" Yue Yunchu looked at the few depressed heads in front of her and couldn't help but be curious.
"I heard that there was an old man's color at the end of the 'Lixia Festival', and they refused to leave, so they stayed together to try their luck." Yue Tianyu looked at Wei Wuji and Xiahou Chun and couldn't help but answer with a smile.
"That's it" Yue Yunchu held her cheek with one hand, looked upward, thought for a moment, and said: "Then you come with me, I will take you to get the lottery, but you must be obedient, otherwise you will be driven back immediately." ”
A few lowered heads, hearing the words, immediately came to their senses.
"Really?"
"Not lying?"
"Auntie, do you want to talk?"
Yue Yunchu was amused for a while, and slapped a few questions on the head one by one: "When did I lie to you, don't go if you don't believe it." ”
The few people who were beaten immediately fell silent, only Yue Zheng muttered in a low voice: "Aren't you deceived out of the imperial city......
"Tsk......" Yue Yunchu's face suddenly became hot, and her heart was irritable, these dead children turned their heads and sneered and glanced at Yue Zheng.
"......" Yue Zheng took the eye knife, shrunk her neck, smiled flatteringly, and silenced.
The group followed Yue Yunchu towards a remote alley.
