Chapter 32: The River Lantern
"Selling river lanterns, beautiful river lanterns ......"
The shouting of the roadside vendor suddenly attracted Shi Xin's attention, and he slowly stopped in front of the stall.
"This guest officer, do you want to buy river lanterns? Our lotus lanterns, full moon lanterns, and peace lanterns ...... There are all kinds of them, will you buy one?" the peddler immediately laughed when he saw him standing in front of the stall.
Shi Xin listened to his introduction, and then moved his gaze to the stall. I saw a variety of lamp types, all kinds of birds and animals, flowers, birds, insects and fish lit candles, and the workmanship was very exquisite. But thinking that he was penniless, he shook his head in embarrassment.
The peddler didn't care, but still said politely: "It's okay, then you can come back next time." After saying that, he went to shout at the pedestrians in the street.
In the streets, crowds of people surged, laughter continued, and an atmosphere of joy filled the air. No one seems to remember how miserable the woman in Tsing Yi they commemorated was when she was waiting in this Ludao idiot? But how can the word love be told with just one bitterness?
As the years go by, it seems that this legend will slowly be forgotten......
The candles in the river are surging and sparkling, and the river will also pull the reflection of the lit river lamp for a long time.
Yang Zixian squatted quietly by the river. She also bought an ordinary lotus lantern, and at this time she was slowly smoothing out the crumpled corners of the river lantern with her own hands.
During the day, when she listened to the fisherman Brother Zhang tell the origin of this ancient town, she felt deep admiration for the woman in Tsing Yi more than 200 years ago.
She knows that the most painful thing in this world is not that he missed it and forgot about it, but that he has forgotten it, but you still remember it. Perhaps it is precisely because of this inexplicable empathy that I can't help but buy a river lantern and want to put it on to pray.
At this time, she took out a fire fold from her sleeve, put it to her lips and blew it gently.
Soon, the light of the fire illuminated her beautiful face. Even her eyes reflected the light of the burning fire, which seemed so bright.
She carefully lit the river lantern in her hand with the light of the fire, and then carefully placed the river lantern in the river water.
There is no wind, but the lotus river lantern is still slowly, and many other river lanterns of various shapes converge together. Slowly, down the stream, drifting into the distance that no one knows.
Yang Zixian looked at the river faintly. It wasn't until his lotus river lamp slowly disappeared that he turned around slightly.
As soon as she turned around, she noticed that there was a figure standing behind her at some point, and she was immediately startled. But when he looked at it, he was stunned, and only after a while did he say, "Why are you here?"
The person who came was naturally stony. The river is not long, although there are many tourists, but there is only one Yang Zixian who is so gorgeously dressed and has such a delicate appearance, so it is not difficult to find her.
"I ......" He stopped talking, as if he didn't know why he came, but he definitely couldn't answer Yang Zixian so truthfully, and then prevaricated: "I'm bored in the room, so I'll walk around." ”
Yang Zixian listened to his explanation, seemed to have guessed something, took two steps forward to him, and said with a smile: "Oh?...... Shi Shaoxia, walk everywhere, walk everywhere...... Just walk behind me?"
She repeated a few words in her mouth, but the last sentence "Walk behind me" was deliberately said by leaning over to Shi Xin.
In the darkness, a faint fragrance wafted over, and her hair seemed to touch her clothes. This startled Shi Xin, and he said vaguely in a hurry: "Yes...... yes, I'm just walking around, who knew you were here......"
Seeing that he was so nervous, Yang Zixian secretly covered his mouth and smiled.
"Okay, I didn't say anything, look at your nervous ......" her eyes rolled, and for a while there were indescribable charms.
Shi Xin didn't dare to look at her, only quietly lowered his head.
"Hey, don't leave yet?...... not far away, Yang Zixian looked at him with a smile and said.
"Where?" he said, stunned.
"Of course it's back to the inn!" After speaking, he didn't care whether Shi Xin followed or not, and walked in the direction of the inn.
Shi Xin stayed where he was for a while, and then quickly followed.
Early the next morning.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Guest, wake up, Guest......"
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
A crisp knock on the door pulled Shi Xin back from his sleep. He walked to the door in a daze, and reluctantly opened the door.
found out that it was the shopkeeper, so he rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Little second brother, what's the matter?"
"Guest, you finally woke up, and the lady downstairs said that if you didn't go down, she would go by herself. ”
"What, has the horse returned?" he awoke.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Come back, come back, this morning, our shopkeeper personally collected the horse." ”
"Okay, please talk to the young lady below, I'll come down immediately. He picked up his clothes and said hurriedly.
"Okay, the little one went down first. With that, he walked downstairs.
After Shi Xin hurriedly put on his clothes, he saw that the box where the colorful fairy grass was still on the table, so he opened the box and looked at it. After discovering that the colorful fairy grass inside had turned into ordinary cyan, he didn't think much about it, hurriedly closed the box and put it in the baggage, and then hurriedly took the stone sword on the table and went downstairs.
At this time, Yang Zixian was already sitting at the bottom and drinking porridge leisurely.
After she saw Shi Xin hurriedly walking down, she deliberately pretended to play tricks on him, so she deliberately pretended to sigh and said, "Alas, I thought someone was not afraid of death." ”
Shi Xin's face turned red, naturally knowing the meaning of her words, and whispered to her: "I'm sorry, I, I've slept." ”
"How dare the little woman blame Shi Shaoxia, but Shaoxia's life is his own. She smiled slightly.
Shi Xin was embarrassed again, not knowing what to say.
Yang Zixian didn't continue to tease him anymore, pointed to the other bowl of porridge on the table and said, "Okay, it's just a joke with you." Hurry up and eat, you can't stop for a moment today. ”
Shi Xin nodded, obviously knowing that time was pressing.
The morning sun rises, and the morning dew stains the clothes.
It turned out that the most beautiful time in Tsing Yi Town was in the early morning. The water, just awakened by the wind, and the fog, like smoke and rain, shrouded the town. Not far away, there seems to be the shadow of last night's lovers snuggling up to each other on the stone arch bridge.
All of this, like everything in a dream, is as if it were rational.
A man and a woman led the horses and walked quietly in this ancient town. The women are alluring and extremely handsome, while the men look like cultivators, wearing long robes and carrying a long sword behind their backs.
They walked side by side, fading into the avenue out of town......
