Xiao Chen and the two walked to the opposite bank, and saw that many people had already come out of the house, put on their best clothes, held simple leather lamps, and began to gather on the street.

"Okay, what are our plans for today?" Xiao Chen asked.

"When you come out with girls, have you always been so passive?" Luo Ling asked rhetorically.

Xiao Chen said happily in his heart: "Then leave it to me to arrange?" Then I said, the first step is to get the equipment up first. ”

"How?"

"The leather lamps that Ciro prepared for us were too eye-catching, not at all in the style of the civilian area. Wait for me for a while. Xiao Chen ran to the side of the road, found a few young people, negotiated with them, and exchanged for a pair of candle leather lamps.

"Look, that's a lot better. ”

"What, you're losing a lot of money in this business, the spar leather lamp was bought by Ciro with a silver spear, and this one in your hand is worth at most two copper shields. Although Luo Ling said in her hand, she still fiddled with the newly arrived leather lamp, like a child getting a fresh toy. The leather lamp is square, with a hand-held rope on it, and when a candle or oil lamp is lit inside, it emits a dim light. It is not beautiful to look at alone, but when there are many people on the street with lights, the dotted lights have a strange romantic feeling in the night.

"How could I be so stupid and this. Xiao Chen took out a colorful cloth handkerchief, "See? The New Year's limited edition headscarf presented by the palace, this year, the old king is about to celebrate his sixtieth birthday, he is very generous, and one of the two people in the civilian area has received this thing." ”

Luo Ling looked left and right, and sure enough, many people had already rolled this cloth towel into a strip and wrapped it around their heads.

"It turns out that the tradition here is to wear a wreath on your head during the procession. It is said that those who do this will receive the blessings of nature and reap all kinds of happiness in the coming year. However, flowers are too difficult to find in winter, so there is a custom of using flower cloth headscarves, headbands or hairpins instead. In previous years, everyone wore garlands and bought headscarves to tie headscarves, but this year, most people have brought this. ”

"This cloth is too ugly, it's an insult to my aesthetics, I don't wear it. Hey, I want that. Luo Ling pointed to two children playing by the river, wearing pink garlands on their heads.

"Good. I'm going to ask them. Xiao Chen had candy in his space bag, so this task was not difficult, and then, he and Luo Ling each brought a garland on their heads.

Luo Ling looked at Xiao Chen's head full of small pink flowers, and smiled: "I thought you wouldn't bring it." I didn't expect you to be quite open, did you?"

"It's just the ancient style of the Tang and Song dynasties, what are you afraid of? I can't let you be preoccupied with beauty. ”

"Do you know what you look like?"

"A flowering bamboo. ”

"People are self-aware. Give you a thumbs up. ”

However, in any case, the two of them have completely blended into the surroundings now, and there is nothing strange about blending in with the crowd.

They carried leather lanterns and walked slowly behind the crowd, and people continued to join along the way, the night was originally a cold blue, but the leather lanterns were like swarms of fireflies, illuminating people's smiling faces, illuminating people's costumes, and bringing a trace of warmth to this half of the city that lacked lights.

When the crowd reached a narrow place, Xiao Chen naturally stretched out a hand to hold Luo Ling, lest she be washed away. Luo Ling's hand tightened slightly, then relaxed again, and let him hold it, the two of them were like two small flowers in the river, floating with the waves.

Xiao Chen felt that the world was very quiet at this time, so quiet that he could hear his heartbeat. The world is noisy again, and all kinds of restless thoughts come to mind one after another.

He couldn't help but sneak a glance at Luo Ling, and his ability to see night vision allowed him to clearly see Luo Ling's focused expression and slightly red face. She focused her gaze away from him. As his gaze drew closer, her gaze wandered until he had annoyed her completely, drawing a counterattack from her burning gaze. The two men looked at each other, walking slower and slower, slower and slower, until someone collided with them behind them.

"I hate it!" Luo Ling rubbed her shoulders.

Xiao Chen took the opportunity to put his hand on her and helped her rub it a few times, but he took her in the crook of his arm and never let go.

Singing was heard in the distance, at first far away, but soon resounded in all directions.

The people around them also began to sing, at first a few people whispered softly, then many people rumbled in chorus, and finally the song became so enthusiastic and cheerful that almost everyone sang along.

As the procession reached the wide road near the market, it was no longer so crowded, and many people were already dancing in circles, encouraged by the singing.

For a moment, it was like a golden river appeared on the blue earth, and the tide was surging and the waves were endless.

Seeing that the people around him were dancing with laughter, even Xiao Chen, who had no interest in dancing, had a feeling of eagerness.

Luo Ling pushed her away and began to spin in circles like everyone else, holding a leather lamp in one hand and stretching naturally in the other, like a flower swirling in the wind. The golden leather lamps draw swirling rays of light in the air, like a circle of gold rim for a flower.

Every time she turned to Xiao Chen, she would look at him, and her gaze would touch and then separate. The emotions in his eyes made Xiao Chen can't help but want to rotate with her, like a group of twin stars surrounding each other.

He couldn't help but remember the first time he danced in front of the campfire when he passed through the village of Phoenix with her, when he was just a bystander in the shadows, but this time he wished he was standing with her.

Xiao Chen plucked up his courage and took his own dance steps. Luo Ling stretched out her hand and pulled him into her own rhythm.

Spin, twirl, dance, dance.

It turns out that it is so simple to really take steps and dance. It's like going back to your childhood, letting your emotions run wild. The difference is that with her in front of him, at this moment, all his dance steps are moved by her, and all his emotions are held by her.

He wandered in the colorful world, as if everything around him had turned into a mottled background, and the only real thing in the whole world was her.

......

I don't know how long he danced, but he heard a voice.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen!" he thought it was Luo Ling calling him, but found that Luo Ling was still dancing happily with him, and that voice came from the depths of his mind.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, I'm Tasia!Yours, there's something wrong with your world!" He finally realized that the sound was coming from his meditation space.

He separated a trace of consciousness and entered the meditation space, only to see that the outer world, which represented the subconscious, was violently turbulent, the dark clouds in the sky were rolling violently, as if there was some monster hidden inside, and the huge waves rolled up on the sea surface were more than twice as high as usual, and even crossed the boundary of the usually calm sea, pushing Tasia's boat to the height of more than a dozen floors.
