Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Adventures of the Lantern Show (4)
Xiao Yue said: "I don't know how far this river lantern can float, just now the vendor at the intersection in front of me said that their river lantern can float to Changluo Prefecture! Who knows if what they said is true or false." ”
The old woman said disdainfully: "The river lantern I made with my own hands, I said that if you can float to Huajun, you can go to Huajun." ”
Seeing this, Yun Yan helped and said, "Then show it to my son-in-law first, if he likes it, no matter how far it goes, we will buy it." ”
The little girl saw that Xiao Yue did not deny it, so she timidly took out a new river lantern from a cloth bag behind her and handed it to Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue looked at it, it really suited her mind, the shape of this river lamp was just the opposite of just now, from the outside, the river lamp was very simple, round lampshade, and the inner wick was made of a half-moon shape.
What's more interesting is that the river lantern is made of thin bamboo strips to support small stars one by one, these small stars are made of silver foil, just like the night sky is full of stars, twinkle and shiny, very beautiful, but it does not look like it has passed the wind and waves.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Yun Yan exclaimed directly after seeing it.
Xiaoyue also liked it very much, "I bought this river lantern." ”
The little girl was very happy to hear this, and she bit her little lip and looked back at the old woman.
The old woman was silent for a while and said: "This river lantern is the first time Chun'er made it, it looks good, but in fact, it is not done well, if the son likes it, then give it to you, we don't charge money." ”
Xiaoyue doesn't like to take advantage of people, "No, money must be paid." ”
The little girl refused and said: "Childe likes the river lantern made by Chun'er, Chun'er is very happy, my mother-in-law is right, this river lantern is not very solid, we will give it to you." ”
Yun Yan asked curiously, "How is this river lantern so similar to the river lantern that was booked just now?"
The old woman explained slowly on the side: "My family's river lanterns are basically in pairs, except for the one that is scheduled to be a single one, but this year, Chun'er wants to make it a pair, I originally wanted to refuse, but I wanted to let her practice her hands, so I actually let her make it." ”
She lowered her head, looked at the scheduled river lantern with cloudy eyes, and continued: "But it is not very good, I am not ready for her to take it out and sell it, because the river lantern carries people's blessings, the farther it floats, the more blessings it has, my river lantern can float far miles, I have been a river lantern for so many years, I don't want to trick people." ”
Xiao Yue thought to herself, this is really a conscientious seller, "Then when will you come out to set up a stall next time, and I will come to your house to buy river lanterns again?"
Miss Chun'er asked curiously, "Doesn't Childe know that river lanterns can only be put on special days?"
Yun Yan pulled Xiaoyue's sleeve on the side, helped her cover and said, "My son-in-law never worries about these things. ”
She leaned close to Xiaoyue's ear and whispered, "Childe, under normal circumstances, the river lantern will be released when the new emperor ascends the throne, or the river lantern will be released when the national celebration is celebrated." ”
Xiaoyue also felt strange, "Don't you put river lanterns during the New Year?"
The old woman smiled and said, "Childe is a foreigner, the wind is strong during the New Year, and it may snow, and the river lantern will be extinguished in a while." ”
Xiao Yue said with some embarrassment: "It's true that I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know about this custom." ”
"It's okay, Childe, give you the river lantern. Seeing that Xiaoyue was so approachable, the little girl was also a little bolder, walked up to her, and gave her the river lantern with her own hands.
Xiao Yue was about to reach out to take it, when suddenly a person came over next to her, took the little girl's river lantern and said, "This is good, how much does it cost, I bought it." ”
Xiao Yue saw that the river lantern in her hand was robbed, and turned around to find this person to theorize.
As soon as she turned around, Xiao Yue saw a person in a black robe, and thought to herself that the people she met in black today had a grudge against her, and when she looked up at her face, she was really a narrow road, and she was actually a beautiful man who met three times in one day.
This guy robbed himself of a bowl of wontons, but the boss can still make a bowl, but this river lantern is just one, and he robbed it, Xiaoyue said angrily: "Hey, why are you again, everyone has sent me this river lantern, you are late." ”
The man looked Xiao Yue up and down: "Send you?
Xiao Yue was about to scold out with a stomach full of words, but as soon as he said it, he was speechless.
He said a little sarcastically: "You are good-looking, so the little girl will give it to you?"
When Chun'er heard this, her face flushed, and she bowed her head and said nothing.
Xiao Yue was about to refute, but the man continued: "Then you are embarrassed to ask for it?"
Xiao Yue was blocked by him again, unable to say a word.
"The grandfather and grandson seem to be living in poverty, and the river lantern can't be sold for much money, so let's do it, I'll pay a tael of silver. He took out a tael of silver from his pocket and handed it to Chun'er.
Chun'er didn't answer anything, "Childe, I can't ask for this money." ”
"Do you think I'm good-looking, and you're going to give me away?" he laughed, "I don't rely on this to take advantage of people." ”
Xiao Yue listened to the angry Qiqi smoke, "Who are these people," she turned around and pulled Yun Yan, "Let's go, meet such a scoundrel, today is really moldy." ”
Seeing this, the old woman hurriedly said, "Son, stay here." ”
Xiao Yuetou didn't reply and said: "That's it, what should be mine is mine, it's useless if I don't rob it, you can give him this river lantern." ”
Xiao Yue took Yun Yan and Xu Chengchang to the dock, and let the two of them be responsible for putting the river lanterns, walking by the river by herself, blowing the river breeze, and distracting herself, she was so angry.
A lot of good-looking river lanterns began to appear on the Yudai River one after another, and they floated downstream with the river, and Xiao Yue also walked downstream while looking at the river lanterns.
Maybe she was angry in her heart, she walked faster and faster, and she didn't know that she had walked a long distance, and when she found out, she was already far away from Yun Yan and them.
"What's wrong with me, I'm getting narrow-minded. She smiled self-deprecatingly, found a clearing by the river, and prepared to sit and rest for a while before going to meet Yun Yan.
On the night of early autumn, the breeze is breezy and there are dots of river lanterns in front of her, just like countless stars on the Milky Way, it is really a beautiful scenery, Xiaoyue feels that she has found the right place, and she is very satisfied.
She watched a bright river lamp swaying in the water in front of her, dodging the whirlpool, floating all the way in her direction. In front of him, there was also a fat aquatic plant, which happened to be entangled by this aquatic plant when this river lantern floated over, and there was no way to float downstream.
Xiao Yue looked at this river lantern and felt a little familiar, she fixed her eyes and saw that it was the river lantern that was booked by the old woman's house, out of kindness, she decided to help this river lantern.
So, Satsuki turned around and went to the nearby woods, trying to find a branch, and then help the river lantern get rid of the water and grass, and then go down the river.
When Satsuki returned to the clearing with the branches, she found that the place she had just sat on had been occupied.
A man dressed in black was sitting where she had just sit, looking at the river lantern in the river, without saying a word.
Why is it a man in black again? The more Xiao Yue thought about it, the more angry she became, so she raised the branch in her hand and made a gesture to hit this person.
Unexpectedly, this person suddenly stood up, turned around and grabbed Xiao Yue's wrist, "What are you going to do?"
Xiao Yue couldn't see this person's face clearly, but she was really scared when she heard this voice, and thought to herself what happened tonight?
But she thought about it, no, she shouldn't have met this person at this time, who is this person?
