Chapter 13: Blessings and Blessings
I couldn't tell whether the person was a human or a ghost, from the corner of the left eye down to the chin, half of the face was full of pitted blood red bumps, the corners of the mouth were crooked, the left eye had no eyelids, the white and miserable eyeballs were exposed, and the lanterns were still reflective, which was particularly terrifying to see at night.
I lowered my voice and asked Changyue, "Who are you chasing?" ”
Changyue obviously also saw the person on the other side of the bridge, and said in a trembling voice: "The prefect's youngest son, Fang Sheng." ”
I looked at her suspiciously, how could she pay so much attention to Fang Sheng?
Changyue explained in a trembling voice: "Grandma has set a family affair for me, it is Fang Sheng, I just saw him, I wanted to tell him that I don't like him, and I want him to help me quit my family." ”
Although Changyue is fourteen, Fang Sheng is only eleven years old, so early engagement, isn't the Lin family trying to win over the Fang prefect? Is there a movement in the court? But now is not the time to think about this problem, I hurriedly pulled Changyue to retreat to a crowded place: "The coming day is long, let's talk about it later, I'm afraid that if we chase it again, we won't have our lives to retreat." ”
Retreating into the crowd, I just breathed a sigh of relief, I was slapped on the back, I was so frightened that my hair stood upside down, the breath that just came up almost choked me to death, I stiffened my neck and didn't dare to look back, my hands trembled to touch the iron fan.
"What did you two do?"
Brother Changfeng's voice sounded warm and moist from behind me, and my pounding heart returned to my body.
I gasped and hugged Changyue's legs weakly.
"Hit the ghost."
We both spoke in unison.
Changfeng looked at us with a smile, "How can there be ghosts in the world, most of you have seen the ghost mask." ”
I knew it was a man, just a disfigured person.
Stabilize my mind, I pulled Changyue with one hand and Changfeng with the other, only to find that Xiao Hanako was not there.
"Brother, where is your scholar?"
"Lost."
We sighed together.
Hanako's self-reliance is stronger than all of us, so we decided not to look for him for the time being, but to go home and wait for him.
When I returned to the Lin Mansion, my aunt said two words to us, and sent someone to cook the Lantern Festival, but the little beggar didn't come back, so I left a bowl for him.
The plum tree in the courtyard hung lanterns, I climbed the tree and picked a high branch to sit, just to see the scene outside the house, I leaned on the plum branch when I fell asleep, I was woken up by a small stone thrown by someone, I looked at the little beggar outside the house viciously, this person smiled at me very rarely, raised the sky lantern in his hand, signaled me to go out of the house.
I went back to the house and put the still warm Lantern Festival in a food box, and took it out of the house for him to eat.
He looked at Lantern Xiao and was stunned for a moment, then pushed it away, "I don't eat." ”
Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, reunion, I don't know if he has no family or is separated from his family, I don't want to eat it should be touching the scene.
I took a spoon and handed one to his lips: "Eat if you treat me as family." ”
He glanced at me, his eyes were cold and there was not much emotion, and I glanced at him: "I'm your life-saving benefactor, so you look down on me?" ”
He hesitated for a moment and swallowed the Lantern Festival.
I smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "From now on, you will be my brother, blessed and disadvantaged!" ”
He snorted, picked up the sky lantern, turned and left.
I hurriedly ran two steps to keep up with him, man's heart, the needle under the sea, how to say angry angry!
Coincidentally, the little beggar brought me to the bridge where I had met the disfigured man, and I was so frightened that I tugged at his sleeve.
He ignored me, and after taking me up to the bridge, he took out the fire fold and lit the lamp, and we all held it to one side, and after a while the sky lantern began to float upward.
He closed his eyes and made a wish.
I also learned from him to make a wish, and when I opened my eyes after making a wish, I happened to see his dark eyes looking at me.
"What wish did you make?"
He asked.
