The door opened as soon as there was a knock, and Ling Shengxue was not inside. It was cold on the couch, and it seemed that he had been out for a while.

"Huh? My brother is gone, and I saw him enter this room before. The insect said on the shoulder of the smoke glass.

"There may be something to go out, let's take a look at it ourselves." Yanli went back to her room and got dressed, took the umbrella and sword and went out.

Xiazhou is close to Xilu, where there are also many Xi people, the people are open and enthusiastic, they do not close their doors at night, and they are lit up everywhere, as if they are preparing to celebrate some festival.

"It's strange," Yanli said, "the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, what day is it today?" Why is it so lively everywhere? ”

A passer-by just happened to smile and said, "You're from out of town, today is Valentine's Day for the Xi people." ”

"Huh?" Yanli's face flushed, "Isn't it quite the same as our Qixi Festival?" ”

"Almost, girl, do you have a sweetheart? Why don't you buy a lantern and make a wish? ”

"......" Yanli didn't know how to reply.

Yanli walked around the street, the night was dark, and the lights were blurred. People sang and laughed all the way, and she walked in the noisy crowd, and suddenly felt like a world away.

When she was a child, she remembered that Master would play a flute on the night of Qixi Festival.

She didn't understand, she only felt that the flute was cold, and when she asked, the master just said lightly: "This is the song of Qixi Festival, written for the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet, and for the lovers in the world who can't be together." ”

She didn't know what it meant to be a lover. Just ask: "Is that the Altair and Vega in the sky?" Aren't they heavenly gods? Why did they meet for a feast on earth? ”

The master didn't explain, just looked up at the stars in the sky and smiled faintly: "Although they are immortals in the sky, they can't meet often.

"Why can't we see each other often?" Xiao Yanli asked without giving up.

The master no longer answered her, but muttered a poem to himself: "The silver candle autumn light is cold on the screen, and the light Luo small fan flutters fireflies." The night is as cool as water, lying down to see the morning glory Vega. ”

"Smoke! How did you get out? ”

Yanli was in a daze, and suddenly heard someone talking above her head, and when she looked up, she saw that it was Ling Shengxue.

"Brother?"

"Why are you standing here in a daze? I'll see you from afar. Ling Shengxue asked.

"I ...... Waking up was a bit stuffy, so came out for a walk. Brother, where have you been? ”

Ling Shengxue shook her head and said softly, "Seeing that you haven't woken up for a long time, I went to the pharmacy to buy some medicine." ”

Only then did Yanli notice that he was carrying a medicine bag in his hand, and in addition to the first time, there was also a lantern.

The lanterns are beautiful, with pink flowers painted on them, much like the lanterns put by those lovers.

"Brother, ......," Yanli pointed to the lantern in his hand.

Ling Shengxue said embarrassedly: "This ...... Oh, just now after buying the medicine, the owner of the pharmacy insisted on giving me a lantern, saying that it was the rules of the place today, and I don't know what it meant. ”

It seems that my brother doesn't know that there is a holiday here today, Yanli couldn't help but smile: "It's very good-looking, why don't you give it to me." ”

"That's right, here you go." Ling Shengxue handed her the lantern, "Although this lantern is beautiful, it is more suitable for girls." ”

In this way, the two walked back with lanterns, no different from those couples walking side by side along the way, Yanli secretly rejoiced in her heart, thinking that in the eyes of others, we should also come out for the holiday.

"Strange, why are there so many men and women on the street tonight? It's not a holiday either. Ling Shengxue muttered to herself.
