Chapter 143: Fireworks by the Lake
There are many beautiful women in pairs on the street, each holding a lantern, but they dare not exceed the rules even if they walk on their sides, and Shen Yinqiu and Wan Qiyan wear masks, holding hands and shuttling among them, and the momentum of the woman pulling the man in front makes many people around peek at it in a new way. 2yt
Qingzhu and the two servants followed closely behind them, seeing that the people around them looked at their master's behavior from time to time, the corners of their mouths twitched a little, Qingzhu didn't understand what the master thought of conniving at the princess's nonsense.
Shen Yinqiu's mind was full of only how to quickly track down the whereabouts of the murderer, while telling herself not to be impatient, to be calm, and at the same time, she couldn't help but make all kinds of associations, if her kraft paper was really human skin, what was the reason for making human skin into a lantern and selling it cheaply? Will the ransom peddler be the murderer? It's a pity that the man seems to have appeared out of thin air, and he has a good relationship with the stall owners around him, but no one knows who he is and where he lives when he asks carefully.
She lowered her head and walked forward, almost bumping into a passerby in front of her, Wan Qiyan, who had been led by her, grabbed her at the right time, patted her back like Shun Mao, and said, "Ah Qiu, what are you anxious about?" ”
"I'm not in a hurry." Shen Yinqiu subconsciously defended, and only after finishing speaking did he realize that he was being hugged in his arms, and the smell of medicine on Wan Qiyan's body was fading unconsciously, and there was a clear smell, which smelled very good.
Wan Yanyan said: "I said that tonight's purpose is to enjoy the lantern festival, and the case will be dealt with tomorrow, so you don't have to think too much." ”
"The lantern festival is what these lanterns are so beautiful, and it is better to think about where the tenth victim is if you have this time." Shen Yinqiu muttered, breaking free from his embrace. After knowing that Wan Qiyan's physical illness would not pose any threat to her, she had already unconsciously unconsciously unloaded her defense, and being held and hugged seemed to be as ordinary as other girls, and gradually began to not care.
Listening to her indifferent tone, Wan Qiyan looked up at the brightly lit streets, the winter night was cold, and the exhaled gas turned into a white mist and floated upward, plus a lot of hot air selling food, shrouding the entire street in a blurry and hazy.
It's a sight to behold, even if they're in it.
Shen Yinqiu didn't hear his answer, she looked up at him, the mask covering his entire face, and only gave her a white and smooth jaw.
"Look up." Wan Qiyan touched her head and said.
Shen Yinqiu looked along, a little stunned for a while, the lanterns on the streets on both sides of the intersection hung above them, and the white mist wandered in them, making the lights unreal, she only felt that she was out of the way, and the noise of the people around her gradually began to move away.
Wan Qiyan said: "It's not bad, calm down, where is not the beautiful scenery, come with me,"
Shen Yinqiu didn't object, and watched him take her away from the crowd and the hustle and bustle. Wan Qiyan suddenly turned back to Qingzhu and the others: "You don't have to follow, go back and deal with Fang Cai's affairs." ”
Qingzhu and the two little guys didn't hesitate at all, but they disappeared in an instant.
Shen Yinqiu, who still wants people to stay: "......" bastard Shizi, a delicate woman and a weak and beautiful man, without guards by his side, do you want to encounter danger and call the earth and the earth ineffective? !
On the contrary, Wan Qiyan seemed to be very satisfied, and walked around holding Shen Yinqiu's hand again, he really wanted to do a lot of light work, but unfortunately this body could not expose the matter of martial arts, so he could only continue to pretend that he was powerless.
Shen Yinqiu looked around vigilantly, as if he was afraid that a monster would pop up from some corner, "Shizi, you really don't recruit Qingzhu and them back?" Are you sure there is no danger around? You must know that my constitution is easy to provoke dangerous ......"
Wan Qiyan took off his mask, "It's okay, I'm here." ”
"It's because you're here that I'm more worried, what if you're suddenly unwell? If you meet a bad guy, we won't be able to run away, I'll tell you. Shen Yinqiu snorted, which made Wan Yanyan's heart very stuffed.
"Anyway, I won't let you have an accident, follow me, the time is almost up."
She felt that Wan Qiyan had quickened her pace, a little unsure, but she was still very cooperative to keep up.
The two of them walked through several alleys and turned around, Shen Yinqiu felt that it was a wide place with the air, she saw seven or eight people not far away, standing in pairs with lanterns in their hands, and the sound of subtle talking came, compared with the lively streets, this was simply a pure land.
"This is ......" As he got closer, Shen Yinqiu felt that this place was somewhat familiar, but it was pitch black all around, and it was very inconvenient to look at things.
Wan Qiyan didn't take the lantern, but he seemed to be able to see at night, and walked forward with her unimpeded, but instead of going to the place of the group of people, he went to another corner, and the whole process did not alarm the others.
Shen Yinqiu grabbed his hand tightly, and walked a little stumbling, because he couldn't see the steps of the step, and he was a little hesitant.
"Don't be afraid." Wan Qiyan seemed to know what she was thinking, and comforted her. I have to say that every time I hear him say this, although I don't believe it very much, it can still give people a sense of peace of mind.
He led her to a no-man's corner and stood still, Shen Yinqiu looked around, and found that the men carrying the lanterns were all gone, as if they were all women except for her.
She also wanted to observe a few more times, but her head was gently knocked on by Wan Qiyan, "Look at the sky." ”
"Huh?" Shen Yinqiu looked up at the night sky that was still dark, thinking about what was there to see? If there was moonlight, it wouldn't be so dark around.
"Bang...... Bang...... Bang......"
As she thought so, a flash of starlight rose in her pupils, and she saw the little starlight rise high into the air, slamming and scattering in all directions, overflowing with streamers, and illuminating the night in an instant, along with the quiet lake in front of them.
Shen Yinqiu was stunned, grabbed his sleeve with his other hand and whispered, "Fireworks, fireworks!" ”
One did not disperse, the other rose, continuously, Shen Yinqiu's eyes were filled with fireworks blooming in the sky, Wan Qiyan saw the most beautiful scenery from her pupils, and a pair of people were reflected on the illuminated lake.
There was a quiet all around, no one spoke, they were all watching the rare fireworks this year, the blooming feast lasted for more than a quarter of an hour, Shen Yinqiu raised his neck for a long time and was a little sore, lowered his head and looked at the lake casually, and suddenly grabbed Wan Qiyan's palm.
"What's wrong?" Wan Yante brought her to this quiet place to watch the fireworks, and thought she would like it very much.
Shen Yinqiu resisted the urge to retreat, raised his hand and pointed at the swollen object that was slowly floating and said, "That, what ...... is that?"
Wan Qiyan looked at the place where she pointed, his pupils narrowed slightly, and in an instant, he returned to his senses, looked at Shen Yinqiu fluttering his hair and said, "The wind is coming from behind." ”
"What?" Shen Yinqiu was puzzled, but she didn't know why she sniffed hard, and instantly she covered her mouth and nose and squatted down, wanting to gag.
"Ah Qiu?!" Wan Qiyan hugged her and instantly retreated ten steps away, no one cared where this speed came from at this time.
Shen Yinqiu waited for the tip of his nose to disappear before he understood, "This is Fenghua Dao?" ”
"Hmm."
After Shen Yinqiu learned that this was Fenghua Road, she immediately stood up straight, looked ahead and said, "The lake in front of you is ......" She remembered the clear lake water she had seen with Tang Yu before, and she was cold, "What was that thing just now, it smells so disgusting." ”
"Maybe it's the carcass of some kind of animal." Wan Qiyan said with some concealment.
"What animal carcass would be that big?" Shen Yinqiu obviously didn't believe it.
Wan Qiyan thought to himself, is it really going to be so disappointing today? Everything is done to them.
However, at this time, the direction of the wind suddenly changed, and the original blow from the back suddenly blew from the front, and the stench could not be stopped.
A few people not far away also smelled it and retreated: "What does this smell like?" ”
"I don't know."
"No, I can't stand it, let's go."
"But the fireworks aren't over yet."
Shen Yinqiu listened to their words, took out two handkerchiefs from her arms, handed one to Wan Qiyan and motioned him to cover her nose, and she herself took off her mask and pinned it to her waist, and did so.
The handkerchief was incense, but it was not heavy, and at this time it covered its mouth and nose, successfully blocking the smell wafting from the lake.
The fireworks were still blooming, reflecting the figures of the few people not far away, Shen Yinqiu pulled Lawan Yan's clothes and said, "Shall we step forward and see what it is?" ”
"You...... Unafraid? Wan Qiyan saw that Fang Cai was still eager to retreat how far away, but now he proposed to take a look forward.
Shen Yinqiu was not very determined to go and see it, and when he heard him ask, he asked rhetorically, "Didn't you say that it was a corpse?" Since it is dead, what are we afraid of it? ”
Wan Qiyan was speechless. He looked at the people on the other side, "I'm going to borrow a lantern." ”
Shen Yinqiu grabbed him, "No need, it's not good to be the only two of us, they are all men, so don't be afraid." ”
Wan Qiyan: "? ”
Shen Yinqiu calmed down for a moment, raised his voice and shouted: "A few sons with lanterns over there, my family's father-in-law's money bag has fallen, can I borrow a lantern?" Thank you! ”
Wan Qianyan: "......" originally meant that, "You want to call them all over?" ”
"Well, how bold people are, right? I think the money bag is attractive, even if it is all gentlemen, they will come to help if they regard money as dung. Shen Yinqiu said.
Wan Qiyan sighed secretly, "You are a girl here, are you afraid of attracting villains by shouting like this?" ”
Shen Yinqiu seemed to have just thought of this question, and then looked at the people who were already walking towards them with lanterns, and said softly: "They have an aura that even girls can't destroy, I think you are more dangerous." ”
Wan Qiyan didn't understand, thinking that Shen Yinqiu was talking about his weak body, so he didn't say anything more, and hummed casually.
Shen Yinqiu touched her nose, there were eight people in total, only four lanterns, all of them came to her, almost surrounded, and her and Wan Qiyan's faces were also illuminated by the lanterns.
"Lost your money bag?"
"What is the purse girl is looking for?"
"You don't have any feet here, are you sure you fell here?"
Shen Yinqiu narrowed her eyes so that her gaze could be more focused, she quickly swept over the person who was speaking, pretended to be a little embarrassed and pulled Wan Yanyan's sleeve, and hid behind him.
Wan Qiyan put on his gentle side with interest, first thanked them, and then slowly said his money bag style.
