Mu Jingchi smiled and said, "Really? ”

He led me and continued to walk forward, I don't know when we had come to a river, the river was full of children, adults were putting lotus lanterns on the bank, making wishes, there was an unknown fragrance of flowers in the air, Mu Jingchi looked at me and asked, "Do you want to make a courtyard?" ”

I wanted to say that a three-year-old child wouldn't believe this kind of thing, but after the words came to my lips, I raised my head and glanced at Mu Jingchi, and asked, "Do you want to allow it?" ”

Mu Jingchi stared at the lotus lantern floating in the river and didn't speak, he didn't speak, so I smiled and said, "That's right, you don't believe this." ”

I walked towards the vendor by the river, and then asked the other man to buy two lotus lanterns, and then pulled him again, and when he reached the river, he said, "I have two wishes, but I don't know if God will receive them." ”

After I finished speaking, I immediately squatted down again, and then wrote with a pen on the lotus lantern one by one, the words were extremely small, Mu Jingchi stood there and watched, and after I finished writing, he asked: "What is written." ”

I ignored him, picked up another lotus lantern, and wrote down another wish on the lotus, and when I had written both of them, I got up from him, looked at him and smiled and said, "Wishes cannot be spoken, and if they are spoken, they will not work." ”

After I finished speaking, I trotted towards the small pier not far away, and when I ran, I glanced back at Mu Jingchi, and saw that he didn't follow, so I was relieved to slowly put the two lotus lanterns into the river, and there were many lotus lanterns in the river.

The two lamps with my wishes written on them soon converged, and I immediately squatted there, clasped my hands together, closed my eyes and made a wish, and after a long time, I got up from the small pier and trotted towards Mu Jingchi, and when I reached him.

I smiled and said, "Let's go, it's already promised." ”

I took the initiative to pull him and wanted to leave, but Mu Jingchi held me back, didn't move, and said, "I want to promise it again." ”

I looked up at him, Mu Jingchi reached out and twisted the tip of my nose twice and said, "Two minutes." ”

didn't say much, and then he asked the people who followed him to go to the vendor to get a lotus lantern, and then he also wrote on the lotus lantern, what was written, no one found it, very short, when I wanted to peek, Mu Jingchi glanced at me, and I could only pretend to stand there.

He chuckled, and after writing on the lotus lantern, he walked to the shore himself and put the lotus lantern into the water.

The water by the river was shining, and the lotus lantern was swaying with the waves, and I didn't know where it would float, so I stood there and watched.

Mu Jingchi's eyes also fell on the lotus lantern, and he didn't know how long it had been, and when the time was so long that the lotus lantern didn't know where to go, he said: "Let's go." ”

He was the first to turn, and I continued to walk after him, and then we came to a bridge, and there were fireworks not far away, and we stopped at the same time, and looked up at the sky at the same time.

The fireworks were extremely gorgeous, dazzling, almost occupying most of the sky, and for a while it was even fascinating, just when I was fascinated, Mu Jingchi, who was standing beside me, said: "I remember that day was also such a night, I held you and stood on the bridge to watch the fireworks, at that time, you were still very young, only six years old." ”

I said, "Yes, six years old, I got lost that day, and you found me." ”

Mu Jingchi looked at the sky and said with a smile unconsciously: "Yes, after sending you back, I found that the clothes on my body were all brown sugar handprints." ”

I said, "Not long after I went back, my sister was engaged to you. ”

When I mentioned this, Mu Jingchi stopped talking, but he didn't react much, his eyes were still on the fireworks that were about to cool down.

I looked up at him and continued: "After the engagement, then the marriage, my sister likes you very much, my parents like you very much, I like you too, when our family thought it was a good match, in the blink of an eye, the wedding became a bloody murder scene, that day, my family was ruined, I saw my sister wearing a wedding dress, jumping down from the attic in front of you, and you at that time, standing under the attic and watching indifferently, my sister fell in front of you, her face was almost cracked, and blood flowed under your feet, She is still trying, trying to reach out to you, but at the second when she is about to reach you, she still can't touch the corner of your clothes, she falls completely, and she dies at your feet. ”

I smiled and said: "Later, you left me, buried my sister, put her tablet into the Mu family ancestral hall, and offered incense day and night to this day, in fact, I have been asking, have you ever loved my sister, at that time when you were in love with her, did you have a trace of sincerity for her feelings?" ”

It was the first time in so many years that I had asked him so intuitively, and I had even done it, and he turned a blind eye to my words, or glanced at me coldly, and warned me not to mention it again.

But today he was just silent, silent for a long time, and he actually opened his mouth to call two words that I didn't expect, this is the past so many years, I heard him mention these two words again, and those two words are Qingwu.

My sister's name is Lu Qingwu.

When he called out, he looked down at me and said, "Actually, many years ago, your sister also asked me this question, and the night before we got married, she asked me if I really loved her, so I wanted to marry her. Mu Jingchi hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "At that time, my answer was that I liked it, but she didn't believe it." Mu Jingchi hooked his lips and smiled lightly: "But that sentence is indeed the truest thing that I Mu Jingchi has ever said in my life." ”

He suddenly stretched out his hand and patted me on the head twice, sighed and said: "When people are young, they will always make a few irreparable mistakes, and there will always be regrets. ”

After he finished speaking, there was inevitably a regretful smile on his face, he turned around to leave, and I said again: "So the person you love is my sister, I am my sister's stand-in, and Mo Bai is also right?" ”

Mu Jingchi wanted to pace, but when he heard my words, he stopped again and looked back at me.

My eyes fell on him very sharply, and I said, "Mo Bai is three points similar to my sister, and I am four points like my sister, this is the reason why you brought Mo Bai back, right?" ”

Mu Jingchi's smile gradually fell, and he asked, "Who told you this?" ”

I said, "I guessed it myself." ”

He said: "Mobai is somewhat similar to Qingwu. ”

After he said this, he didn't go any further, and continued to walk forward, I stood on the bridge and looked at Mu Jingchi in front of me and said, "If, if you are given another chance, on your wedding day, will you still kill my whole family?" ”

When Mu Jingchi heard my words, he stopped again, he looked at the busy night ahead, I don't know when, the fireworks on the opposite side have disappeared, and after the loud noise, there is a dead silence all around.

Mu Jingchi was silent there for a long time before he said, "Yes." But at this point, he added: "At that time, I would have chosen not to keep you, and if I hadn't been merciful at that time, I wouldn't have so much to do now." ”

I said, "You're still in time." ”

Mu Jingchi smiled and said, "It's too late." ”

With a hint of tiredness in his smile, he looked back at me and said, "Mu Jingchi could have made this decision without blinking at the beginning, but now Mu Jingchi may not be able to." ”

Mu Jingchi didn't seem to want to talk to me about this, so he said again: "Okay, it's not early, let's go home." ”

He coughed twice, then stopped looking at me and continued to walk forward.

I stood there looking at him, but I didn't move, but still stood on the bridge and looked at the silent riverbank on the other side.

Mu Jingchi didn't wait for me, he went back to Mu's house first, I stood alone on the river bank, I don't know how long, until the sky was white, Chun'er and they came to invite, I turned around and left here, but when she was about to get into the car, she turned around and saw that there were a few people at the gate of the river salvage the lotus lanterns that flowed here last night.

This is the fortress of the river, and all the lotus lanterns will be blocked at this gate after drifting for a while, and then they will be salvaged by the workers the next day, and this year is naturally the same.

Chun'er saw me standing there staring at the workers at those gates in a daze, so she asked me, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

I didn't answer Chun'er, but walked towards the gate.

All the lotus lanterns were blocked there, and none of them flowed under the gate, and my eyes quickly shuttled on the water, but it was basically difficult to tell who was who from here.

I asked the workers to salvage them all, and not to throw them away for the time being, but to find something in there.

The workers looked at me in confusion, probably not understanding why I had made such a decision, I asked Chun'er to give them a few oceans, and after they took the money in their hands, they did as I told them, and salvaged all the lotus lanterns.

After they salvaged it, I squatted on the lamp and searched for it, from morning to noon, I had seen each one, and I was sure that no lamp would flow into other places, but the only thing missing was the three lotus lanterns that Mu Jingchi and I were.

I frowned and asked the two workers, "Could it be that the gate was not closed last night, and the lotus lantern accidentally flowed down?" ”

The two workers glanced at the gate and said, "Maybe there are children playing in the river and taking a lot of them home to play, but not necessarily." ”

Chun'er didn't know what I was looking for, so she persuaded on the side: "Miss, you've been looking for a morning, all the lotus lanterns are here, I'm sure the few lamps you want have been fished away by others, so don't continue, if you don't see you back at home, you should be anxious." ”

I don't know where the three lotus lanterns went, why were they missing?

I don't know, maybe it's really as Chun'er said, it happened to be the one that was salvaged away.

All of them were here, and the workers also checked the water and grass under the river, and then repeatedly told me about each lotus lantern, so I gave up, and did not continue to look for it, but followed Chun'er into the car.

After that, I was taken to the Mu family by Chun'er in embarrassment, Xiao Yu'er was in the living room, and when he saw me coming back so down, he was also startled, he just wanted to come over, but Sister-in-law Gui was one step ahead of him, he paused for two seconds and retreated.

After Sister-in-law Gui grabbed my hand, she saw that I was like this, and even frowned and asked Chun'er, "What's the matter?" I didn't talk about it if I didn't return overnight, and my whole body looked like it was fished out of a garbage heap? ”

Chun'er wanted to speak, so I said to Sister-in-law Gui one step ahead of Chun'er: "It's nothing, I've been outside for a night, that's it, just wash up." ”

I changed the subject and said, "Sister-in-law Gui, I want to eat wine-stuffed dumplings." ”

Sister-in-law Gui sighed, and she said, "Okay, I'll do it for you." ”

As soon as Sister-in-law Gui entered the kitchen, a maid in the corner of the living room downstairs quickly ran upstairs and went straight into Mu Jingchi's study.

Yu Ze listened for a long time, then said that he knew, and then ordered the maid to leave, and then he walked towards the bedroom, Mu Jingchi was sitting on the bed coughing violently, but after seeing Yu Ze come in, he stopped his movements for the first time, and asked in a hoarse voice: "How is it." ”

Yu Ze said on the side: "Miss is back, she should have been looking for something by the river all morning." ”

When Mu Jingchi heard this, his blood-stained lips and a hint of nonexistent smile, he said, "I knew that she would have this one." He coughed twice more and glanced at the three lotus lanterns not far away.

Yu Ze understood what he meant, so he took the lotus lantern, and Mu Jingchi took the lamp in his hand and said, "She has been looking for things all morning, these are these three things." ”

Mu Jingchi carried two out alone, and her eyes fell on the small handwriting, but the handwriting on it was not in any Chinese language, but it seemed that she had created it herself.

There were some difficult words on both of them, Mu Jingchi handed the two lotus lanterns to Yu Ze and said, "Help me see if you know each other." ”

Yu Ze immediately took it, he took it in his hand and studied it for a long time and said, "Subordinate, I have never seen such a word." ”

Mu Jingchi smiled again, and he said: "Okay, as she said, if you know, it won't work, so let these two lotus lanterns fulfill her wishes." ”

Mu Jingchi was no longer obsessed with this, and he said to Yu Ze: "Put it away." ”

Yu Ze said yes, and when he was about to leave, he thought of something again, looked at the remaining one in Mu Jingchi's hand, and asked him: "Sir, what should I do with the remaining one?" ”

The remaining one was his, and Mu Jingchi stared at the lotus lantern in his hand for a long time before he said, "Burn it." ”

On his lotus lamp, there are only four words: peace and joy.
