Chapter 54: The Lantern Festival
(a)
Bai Hua held his chin in one hand and found a leisurely posture, "Then you don't sell it now?"
"Forget it, it's nothing to tell you. Shiraishi Wuzi mixed another cup of tea.
"More than fifty years ago, a strange plague broke out in a small mountain village not far from Lanfeng Town. Overnight, almost all the people in the village died. β
Bai Shi's eyes dizzed slightly, as if he was also present at the time when he narrated, "When Shizun found Qin Binbin, he was already covered with abscesses, and he just didn't swallow a breath. β
Bai Hua sat up straight, and then asked, "So, the Night Sand Heavenly God brought him back to Nian Mountain?"
Bai Shi bowed his head and said, "Shizun cured the plague for him with spiritual power, and then transferred him to the Ethereal Dao Division to take care of him. I don't know what the reason is, he has been unconscious, and the high fever does not go away. β
He paused between his words, and then continued: "After he woke up, the Ethereal Dao Division realized that Qin Binbin's words were a little stupid. β
I must have burned out my head at that time.
Bai Hua was even more confused, "If he is stupid, how can he be..."
"Zhongxian Daoji, right?" Bai Shi snatched Bai, "Maybe a fool has a fool's luck, Ethereal has always been by his side at that time." The strange thing is that he watched those preparatory disciples practice swords during the day, and he was able to dance the swordsmanship at night. β
Speaking of the point, Bai Shi couldn't help but be a little excited, "Ethereal was quite shocked at first, but soon, he taught Qin Binbin's mind method alone. Within five years, Qin Binbin stood out from the ranks of the preparatory disciples. It took fifty years for people to become the Zhongxian Daoist, and he only spent fifteen years. β
After speaking, Bai Shi sighed and got up, put his hand across his chest, and continued: "I think back then, he was so tall, I vaguely remember that he also called me 'Brother Shi', and now things are wrong~"
Bai Hua pulled the corner of Bai Shi's clothes, and said with a pout: "Are you saying the opposite?
Bai Shi couldn't help but twitch the green tendons on his forehead when he heard this, and he raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp.
Indeed, Qin Binbin is a little stupid, but his development is quite fast. The height and cultivation are like a bamboo shoot, constantly popping up.

"Both, the person you're looking for should be in this room. The voice of the second person in the shop outside the door was not loud, but it was obviously a good voice and not angry.
Then, the two people in the room heard Bai Shiyi's polite words of thanks.
Qin Binbin pushed open the door, still with an honest smile on his face. But now this smile, but Bai Hua felt emotional: Hey, what a good person this Senior Brother Qin is.
"Bai Hua, why do you keep staring at me?" While speaking, Qin Binbin was already sitting next to Bai Hua.
"No, I'm thinking about things, I'm just a little distracted. Bai Hua waved his hand with a smile, and hurriedly carried the teapot and mixed two cups of new tea.
Bai Shiyi took a sip of tea and said to Bai Shi, "Have you found a place to stay?"
It's over, I was just looking around the town, but I forgot about it.
Bai Hua patted his head, stood up, and said, "Oh, I'm sorry we will go here." Second Senior Brother Bai, let's go. β
As he spoke, he was about to go out.
Bai Shi sat upright unhurriedly, "Senior Brother Bai Hua, you wait." β
After speaking, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Xiao Er~"
It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to roll his eyes and stand in front of Bai Shi, "Guest officer, do you have any orders?"
Transitioning from a son to a guest officer, the shopkeeper was in a very bad mood after obviously seeing Baishi.
"I want two rooms. With an evil smile on his face, Shiraishi said to the people in front of him.
The shopkeeper was slightly shocked when he heard this, and asked tentatively in disbelief, "But have you confirmed that you want to stay here?"
I was played once before, and when the shopkeeper asked, he also told the elf once.
"Confirmed. I'm sure I want two rooms!" Shiraishi said firmly.
The shopkeeper replied reassuringly: "Then you wait, I'll go get the key." β
Out of the private room, the four of them followed him all the way into the backyard.
Shopkeeper pointed to the room behind him, handed the key to Bai Hua, and said, "You live in this room and the next room." β
Bai Hua nodded politely, and thanked the shopkeeper again: "There is little brother Lao." β
Seeing that Bai Hua was so polite, the shopkeeper's face softened a little, and he couldn't help but say a few more words.
"Today is our town's annual lantern festival, if you have nothing to do, you can go and see it. Oh, by the way, I heard that Qingfeng Lou has set up a tea meeting with friends today. Hey, it seems that the one who wins can get a rare teacup. β
Bai Hua suddenly became interested, and then asked, "What rare teacup?"
The shopkeeper picked the back of his head and tried to think about it for a moment, and said, "It seems to be some kind of white glazed moonlight cup..." Oh, guest officer, you'll know when you go. β
Moonshine Cup?!I broke so many teacups for him before, but this time I won't make up for him.
"Thank you!" Bai Hua couldn't hide his excitement and waved his hand towards the shopkeeper.
This cold gesture made the shopkeeper a little at a loss, and he wanted to learn to hold a fist with his hands, but he pinched the handkerchief back and forth and compared it a few times, but he still felt awkward.
"No thanks, no thanks. With his hands clenched into his fists, the shopkeeper waved his hand at her, and walked out again.
(c)
As night fell, a crescent moon hung in the air. A few stars seemed to be scattered in the sky, emitting a faint light.
The town slowly became lively, and the streets of all sizes were filled with all kinds of lanterns, and the lights were like clouds on the horizon.
"Ouch, the lantern festival in Bangfeng Town is really lively. Bai Hua walked all the way, looked all the way, and was stunned to see a single duplicate lantern.
"Come on, the lantern riddle, I guessed the lantern and sent one. β
"Let's take a look here, the drunken flower wine brewed by the small shop is very fragrant. β
"Sugar gourd ~ Selling sugar gourd ~"
The lights are dazzling, and there are countless snacks on both sides of the street.
"Bai Hua, you go slowly, don't get separated. Bai Shiyi shouted forward.
Hearing this, Bai Hua beckoned to Bai Shiyi and said, "There are a lot of people here, if we are really separated, we will wait at the inn." β
There is a constant stream of people coming and going, and the whole street is full of people who come to watch. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crowd of people, and Bai Hua moved forward along the crowd. The petite body was drowned in the sea of people in the blink of an eye.
"Are you really separated?" Shiraishi stood on tiptoe for a long time, still unable to see anyone.
When he turned his head, there was no shadow of Qin Binbin beside Bai Shiyi.
Bai Shi pulled Bai Shiyi to a place where there were few people and asked, "Eleven, where is Binbin?"
"There are a lot of people, and most of them have also dispersed. Bai Shiyi spread his hands and said helplessly.
Shrugging his shoulders, Shiraishi sighed, "Hey, then let's go shopping together." β
The lanterns on the main street are the most beautiful, so they attract the most people. The crowd surged, pushing and shoving, and Bai Hua was pushed to the ground.
At this moment, a passerby scurried in from the side of the street and happened to bump into her. I felt that one center of gravity was unstable, and I was about to plant it on the ground.
In a panic, a strong hand grabbed Bai Hua. The crowd continued to move slowly along the street, and the person in front of her stood firmly, holding her firmly in his arms.
Just when Bai Hua was unexpected, a familiar voice sounded in his ears, "Xiaobai, are you okay?"
Xiaobai, Xiaobai...
The noise and noise around disappeared in an instant, and only the faint call echoed in my ears.
Bai Hua raised his head suddenly, looking at the person in front of him and couldn't help but be distracted. At this moment, Leng Jun's face is also very good-looking under the illumination of the lights.
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
Seeing that she was staring straight at her and silent, Netherworld asked rhetorically, "What's wrong?"
In an instant, the noisy and noisy sound returned, and Bai Hua was excited, and hurriedly asked, "Netherworld Heavenly God, you are also here to enjoy the lanterns?"
Lanterns?!
Netherworld glanced at the two rows of lanterns, looked down at Bai Hua again, and replied softly, "Hmm." β
"That's great, let's go together. Well, there's one later..."
Before he could finish speaking, Netherworld grabbed her again and took her into his arms. Then, several drunks stumbled past, and one of them looked back at the two from time to time.
The strong smell of alcohol made Nether's face flush with a hint of displeasure, "There are a lot of people here, you should follow closely." β
After speaking, he slowly let go of the person in his arms, and walked forward.
The air is still filled with the scent of Suhe that has not yet disappeared. Bai Hua was in a trance for a while, and hurriedly used his hands to suppress the slightest panic caused by the throbbing in his heart.
"Xiaobai, let's go. β
Realizing that the people hadn't followed, Nether turned and held out his hand to her.
The heart that had just been calmed down was beating violently again, and looking at his outstretched hand, Bai Hua was at a loss. Suddenly, I remembered that in Wuqi Canglan, he also stretched out his hand like this, but he didn't want to be just for a tea tray at that time.
Afraid that he would be wrong again, Bai Hua spread out his hands and said, "I, I didn't take anything." β
This nonsensical remark made a glimmer of light flash in the dark eyes, "Do you want to fall again?"
Bai Hua hesitated for a moment, but finally stretched out his hand.
But just as the tip of his hand was about to touch his palm, he heard the dark cold voice again: "Hurry up, don't fall again." β
The outstretched hand froze in place.
Catch?!The word is used.... Shouldn't it be 'grip'?
She looked up and saw Nether raise her arms and lay her wide sleeves in front of her.
Bai Hua's eyes instantly dimmed, and his face was scorched as if he had been electrocuted.
Where does this mean to lead together, it's obviously to let yourself grab the cuffs and go. Hey, once again, I would be wrong.
"Forget it, no need. Bai Hua smiled and waved his hand towards the Netherworld.
After speaking, he shook his arm again, pretended to naturally cross the netherworld, and looked at the lanterns on the side.
"Oh, this lantern is good, it's good. β
"Oh, this lantern is beautifully made, beautiful. β
Bai Hua chattered all the way, sighing at the workmanship of the lantern on the surface, but in fact, it was to alleviate the embarrassment he created. She was afraid that if she stopped, she would talk to the Nether.

"Come on, come and see the lanterns, the most beautiful lanterns in Lanfeng Town. β
At this time, a vendor selling lanterns was surrounded by several layers of people inside and out.
Seeing that the number of people stopping gradually increased, the peddler shouted even harder: "Ladies and gentlemen, come here to take a look." This is a new style launched by our family this year. β
"The pattern of this lamp is so beautiful. β
"Well, the birds on it are also lifelike. β
Everyone praised it again and again.
"Hey, I'm sorry. β
Bai Hua politely apologized to the onlookers, and squeezed in little by little.
"Well, that's good. Bai Hua half-squatted at the front, looked at it carefully, and nodded in praise.
The young peddler looked at Bai Hua and couldn't help but show joy, and hurriedly took down a lantern, handed it to her, and said, "This little brother is really beautiful, seeing that you appreciate my lantern so much, I'll give it to you for free." β
"Huh? Bai Hua excused himself.
The corner of the hawker's mouth bloomed with small flowers, and his eyebrows passed on the autumn waves, and he said, "There is nothing bad." β
"Hey, boss, I also praised your lamp, why don't you give me one too?" A strong man was a little dissatisfied when he saw this, and hurriedly asked the peddler.
The peddler glanced at the strong man, turned his head away, and muttered in a low voice: "It's a pity to send you just like you." β
This small muttering was heard by Bai Hua, who was squatting at the front.
In the early years, I heard Zehuang say that most of the wind world is good men. Seeing the peddler's cheeks flushed, and his eyes looking at himself with autumn waves, isn't it...
Thinking of this, Bai Hua's heart trembled.

Excavators, hoes, shovels, flower shovels~
The melon-eating crowd asked curiously, "What tools have you been using in the last few chapters?"
Cao Xijun raised his bloody hands and said, "Hand throw~"
