I stood there, my whole body trembling, like a leaf in the wind and rain, helpless, and at this time, there was no place to go, I don't know how long later, a warm hand reached over and patted me lightly on the shoulder.

It seemed that he was shocked by that shock, and tears fell down with a thud.

I looked up and looked at the familiar, gentle face: "Huang Ye......"

He just put his warm hand on my shoulder, never said a word, just stood with me, I don't know how long it took me to calm down and look up at him, he also looked at me with a silent face, smiling: "Are you better?" ”

“…… Well. I nodded.

In fact, intellectually, I know what to do and what not to do for him, but sometimes, I don't have to think with my head, and I will only control myself with a feeling, at this time, I may not be smart, but I am the most vulnerable.

I looked up at Huang Tianba again.

I don't know why, except for Pei Yuanfeng, who I regard as my younger brother, and that man, I have never been willing to get too close to a man, but he can make me completely defenseless and give him the weakest side.

However, such a man is Huang Tianba, a person who is now in Nancheng like me, abandoned and waiting for death.

He took out a handkerchief and handed it to me, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and suddenly said, "Qingying, do you remember what day it is?" ”

"What day?"

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve."

"Oh......" I just remembered that the recent period has been too chaotic, so that I almost forgot the days, it's almost the New Year, and today is already a little Chinese New Year's Eve!

Usually at this time, the grandmothers and aunts in the palace will gather everyone together, lecture, warn, and after the end, there will be some melon and fruit cakes to send to everyone, remember that in previous years, because of Yao Yingxue's trouble, the melons and fruits distributed to me must be rotten, and the cakes must be crushed and kneaded, but I don't care.

Everyone knows that in the palace, it is already a gift from God to survive well and eat a mouthful of food.

But I didn't expect that I would wait for death in Yangzhou, thousands of miles away.

I thought in my heart, but Huang Tianba looked around and muttered, "There should be some lanterns." ”

"What?" I looked at him in amazement: "What did you say?" ”

"In previous years, on Chinese New Year's Eve, there will be a lantern festival in Yangzhou City, and the streets are full of lanterns on both sides, including horse lanterns, glass lanterns, lotus lanterns, and all kinds of animals, very beautiful, you have never seen it in the capital."

I still looked at him stupidly.

It's already this time, we are suffering from a vicious disease, we can only wait for death, and our only hope has left Yangzhou City, at this time, he actually wants to hang lanterns? !

Looking at my stunned appearance, Huang Tianba smiled faintly and said something that I will never forget after that.

"No matter how we die, we should at least live well."

To say that he really has a way, under an order, someone really sent a lot of various lanterns, the people in Nancheng were suppressed by that lifeless atmosphere before, but now they are calm, since they are going to die, the last year before death, they should also live well.

So, all the sick people in the southern city went out and hung those lanterns on both sides of the street.

In the evening, when night fell, everyone lit the lanterns, and suddenly the lights on the side of the whole street were brilliant, all kinds of lanterns appeared more exquisite and transparent in the night, and the colors on the lanterns also seemed to be moving stories, and there were various lotus lanterns floating on the moat, and if you looked closely, there were even everyone's blessings on it.
