If you look closely, it turns out that a streamer is slowly floating from the upper reaches of the river!

Rue was already waving to me in front: "Light, come and see!" ”

Second Brother Zhao and I smiled and walked over, just as the light slowly wandered over with the waves, and when we looked closely, it turned out to be hundreds of river lights, with the ups and downs of the river, floating slowly, the lights trembled slightly in the water, and a galaxy was transformed.

I was stunned by the beauty of the scenery, and after a while, I said, "Where did these come from?" ”

Rue Xiang smiled: "This is the river lantern put by the people in Yangzhou City." Every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, they have to put river lanterns, write their blessings on them, and send them away with the water, hoping that the heavens can see their wishes. You see, those lights are so beautiful! ”

"yes."

There are all kinds of river lanterns floating in the river, there are lotus flowers, water lotus, boats, and small animals, which are colorful and dizzying. Li'er's group of children had never seen such a beautiful scenery, and they were so happy that a few naughty ones took up the river water and poured the river lanterns, and I hurried up to stop them: "Don't do this. This is with the wish of many people, who want to be seen by God. If you break these river lanterns, do you want to destroy other people's wishes? ”

Li'er listened and said strangely, "What wishes do they have?" ”

I looked down and saw that a river lantern had drifted to the shore and ran aground, so I scooped up the lantern and saw that there was still a piece of candle left in it, and next to the candle stood a small sail with a few small words written on it: May Mother be in good health.

I read it to Li'er and said, "Look, this is a river lantern put by a filial son to pray for his mother's blessings. Do you want to destroy the wishes of this filial son? ”

Li'er listened and shook her head: "I don't." ”

I smiled and said, "Then, you can help him put the lantern back into the river, okay?" We also prayed for him. ”

"Okay."

Li'er nodded obediently, took the river lantern from my hand, bent down, and carefully put the river lantern into the river again, and the river lantern swayed and floated away with the river.

Li'er looked at the river lantern, folded her hands, and muttered: "I also hope that my mother is in good health." She said, raised her head and looked at me: "Mother, will my wish also be seen by God along with the river lantern?" ”

"Of course."

"Then, will God grant Li'er's wish?"

My heart warmed, and I lowered my head and kissed her smooth forehead: "As long as you are sincere, God will definitely grant your wishes." ”

Li'er immediately smiled and bent her eyes.

At this moment, another lotus lantern swayed and floated over, just stranded at our feet, Li'er laughed and said, "Whose wish is this?" Mother, shall we help put this lamp back? ”

I laughed: "Okay, Li'er is so good, be careful." ”

"Got it!"

She agreed, and had already picked up the lotus lantern.

It was a large, delicate lantern, Li'er almost had to hold it with both hands, and the paper was dyed pink, and it was reflected by the lamp, emitting a warm, almost ambiguous red light; There are also very fine stripes on the petals, and under the petals, the green wax paper is tied into a calyx, and the river lantern is not so quickly soaked by the river.

It's a delicate river lamp that takes a lot of effort.

I don't know which big family released it, and what are their wishes?

I was thinking about it, but I saw Li'er staring at the wick of the lantern, looking puzzled, and raised her head to look at me: "Mother, I don't know the words here." ”

"Oh? Let's take a look. ”

As I spoke, I leaned down, and saw a small note standing up in the heart of the flower, with a line of small words written on it.

Biased to the word mandarin duck ice.

I watched and raised my eyebrows slightly.

……

The book is solemn, the hatred is clear, and the sky will be sad and passionate.

Get up and seal the title with your hand, and deviate to the word mandarin duck ice.

This word is heavy on love and scenery, just look at these few words, there seems to be a living picture in front of me - a lonely and emaciated figure, standing under the lamp, the lonely shadow of the cocoon reflected on the bed, slowly wrote these words, but the ligature, it is also lonely.

At this moment, someone next to him said softly, "Hey, is there someone over there?" ”

As soon as I subconsciously looked up, I saw that in the rippling river water reflected by the river lights, there seemed to be a flat boat, slowly sailing towards the center of the river.

The people around were puzzled: "Is that the boat we launched here?" ”

"No, no one went into the water tonight."

"Where did that ship come from?"

Everyone looked at it suspiciously, but it was already late at this time, and although there was a full moon in the sky and a few stars on the water, it was still impossible to see what kind of boat it was.

I held the river lamp and watched quietly, without saying a word.

In the light, the white clothes on the ship, fluttering in the wind, did not say a word, and seemed to look at it so fixedly.

……

When everyone dispersed that night, it was already past the hour, and Li'er had not slept so late, but because she played with everyone, she was very excited, until I went home and I bathed her and hugged her to bed, this girl still had a red face, and her eyes were shining.

I took off my clothes, got into bed, and lay down next to her.

Li'er immediately moved over and got into my arms slimy, and those eyes were still shining: "Mother, why are you-"

"Don't talk anymore, it's late, go to sleep."

I interrupted her, calmly closing my eyes.

Although she didn't ask again, I could feel that those star-like eyes were still looking at me, and after a moment of silence, I finally opened my eyes, met her eyes, and smiled, "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”

Li'er still looked at me, thought for a while, and said softly: "Mother, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for everyone to reunite, right?" ”

"yes. You see, the whole family is reunited. ”

"So, why don't we reunite with Daddy?"

“……”

I was stunned by her question.

"Mother, I, I miss Daddy."

Looking at her flickering eyes, I suddenly felt a little sour, and gently lowered my head and kissed her forehead.

It's not that I don't know that it is indeed a bit cruel to bring such a young daughter here from the warm and rich splendid bushes where she grew up, and it was Pei Yuanxiu who raised her, and they also have feelings. Now that Li'er is sensible, she will no longer make unreasonable demands, and even some things, if she knows that I will not agree, she will be very sensible not to ask, not to do, not to force.

Now, her soft and glutinous words let me see her sensibility and grievances.

I looked down at Li'er and kissed her forehead gently: "Li'er, the Mid-Autumn Festival is to reunite with my family." Your father, you should also have your own family. ”

Li'er moved: "Daddy, do you want to have your own family?" ”
