18. Lantern Festival 2
Xiao Jingsa stood next to her, with her hands behind her back, looking at her and smirking. Chu Xingli seemed to notice, turned around and asked him, "Won't you let it go?" ”
Xiao Jingsa came back to her senses, looked at her intently, and said with some loss: "My wish, I'm afraid the gods won't be able to come true." Forget it. ”
"Hmm...... Even if it can't be realized, it's good to keep a thought! Chu Xingli comforted. Xiao Jingsa was still indifferent when he heard this. Chu Xingli saw that he didn't react, so he put down the lantern in his hand. Pick up the brush with one hand, and bring Xiao Jingsa's hand from behind to the front with the other.
Chu Xingli put the brush in his hand and said, "Trust me, the gods will help you fulfill your wishes." ”
Xiao Jingsa looked at her, smiled, and then wrote on the paper: Frost and tears wet clothes, white heads have no more leaning on the firewood.
Chu Xingli saw it and felt a little embarrassed, so he lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I mentioned your sadness." ”
"No problem. Let's go put the lanterns. Xiao Jingsa said lightly.
They picked up the lanterns, walked to the river together, and gently lowered the lanterns in their hands. They look at the lanterns in the distance and only hope that their wishes will come true.
At this time, Yin Nan was watching them across the river, and Xiao Jingsa raised his head and just happened to see him. Yin Nan seemed to be waiting for him to give an order, but Xiao Jingsa didn't nod for a long time.
Chu Xingli saw him looking at the other side of the river, and also looked over, and when he saw Yin Nan, he was surprised, so he asked, "Wasn't he behind us just now?" How did you get to the other side? ”
Xiao Jingsa didn't speak, just stood up, Chu Xingli also stood up naturally, Yin Nan felt that he didn't seem to use the original plan, so he also walked over.
When Chu Xingli saw Yin Nan coming, he pushed the problem onto Yin Nan. Yin Nan said hesitantly: "I, I just seemed to see someone over there, so I went over." ”
"Oh." Chu Xingli said she understood, and then turned around and left, and Lixia also followed in her footsteps. Yin Nan seized the opportunity and shouted, "Lord Wang." ”
Xiao Jingsa stopped his foot and was about to lift his foot, and said very seriously: "Yin Nan, this king doesn't want to do this. ”
Hearing this, Yin Nan didn't want to say anything more, after all, he was just a subordinate, and he only needed to complete the orders given by Xiao Jingsa.
Chu Xingli saw that there were many people gathered in front of him, and it was very lively. They couldn't help but want to squeeze in and have a look.
It turned out that they were guessing lantern riddles.
When Xiao Jingsa walked briskly, he already saw Xiao Jingchen standing outside, not going in, just looking inside.
Xiao Jingsa was very curious when she saw it, so she asked, "Why is the third brother here?" Xiao Jingchen didn't speak, and Xiao Jingsa asked again: "Why can't the third brother watch here?" ”
At this time, Chu Xingli, who was already in the crowd, saw that Xiao Jingsa did not come in, so he looked around. found that Xiao Jingsa was chatting with Xiao Jingchen, so he came out of the crowd that happened to be difficult to enter.
"What are you talking about? So serious? Chu Xingli asked.
Xiao Jingchen still had an ice cube face, but Xiao Jingsa smiled and said, "It's okay." ”
Chu Xingli couldn't say anything for a while, and felt embarrassed, so he said, "Why don't we go and guess the lantern riddle!" ”
Neither of them spoke again, and Chu Xingli instantly felt that the embarrassment had been magnified several times. In order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment, Chu Xingli took the hands of the two of them and went in together.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the triennial lantern festival in our Jingshi City, and it is also the beginning of my old Wang's lantern festival." Lao Wang lifted the red cloth behind him. There are three shelves behind the red cloth, each shelf has three layers, each layer has four lanterns, and each shelf has a different lantern on each layer.
"The rules are the same as in previous years, guess the corresponding lantern fan under the lantern can get the lantern. Who wants to try it first? Lao Wang continued.
"I, I, I." The people around them all raised their hands, wanting to show off their skills. When Lao Wang saw it, he was very happy.
A girl tugged at a man's sleeve, pointed to a lantern very coquettishly and said, "Brother Ming, I want that lantern." ”
"Okay, Brother Ming will give you a guess." After this Ming brother finished talking to the girl very dotingly, he pointed to the lantern and said to Lao Wang: "Boss, I want to guess the lantern fan." ”
"A family of five, plant a tree in front of the door, guess a word." Lao Wang flipped through a sign under the lantern and read it.
Brother Ming thought for a while and blurted out: "Wu." ”
Lao Wang said excitedly: "Guess right, it's Wu." As soon as the words fell, Lao Wang took down the lantern and handed it to Brother Ming.
Brother Ming gave the lantern to the girl, and the girl took the lantern and happily took Brother Ming's hand and left.
Chu Xingli looked at this happy scene and couldn't help but start to envy it. The Xiao brothers next to him all noticed.
Xiao Jingsa grabbed in front of Xiao Jingchen and said to her gently, "Do you want that?" Chu Xingli, who was suddenly asked, was a little flattered, she pointed to the blue lantern and said, "That." ”
Xiao Jingsa pointed to the lantern and said, "Boss, let's guess that." Lao Wang skillfully opened the sign under the lantern and read: "Sixty is not enough, but more than eighty." Guess a word. ”
Xiao Jingsa and Chu Xingli were both struggling to think about it, but Xiao Jingchen said lightly: "This word is flat." ”
The boss listened and laughed: "That's right, it's Ping." After speaking, he took the lantern to Chu Xingli.
Xiao Jingsa instantly felt that his IQ had been insulted, and he was angry, his eyes stared at Xiao Jingchen, his hand casually pointed to a lantern, and said, "That." ”
Lao Wang turned over the sign under the lantern and read: "Eternal peace." Guess a place. ”
The Xiao brothers were still thinking about it, and Chu Xingli replied first: "Chang'an." When Lao Wang heard this, he still laughed and said, "That's right." Then he gave her the lantern.
Then, it was the Shaw brothers who began to answer the lantern fans on the lanterns. This seems to be a competition between their brothers, and they have nothing to do with Chu Xingli.
Soon the lanterns on the three shelves had been guessed and taken by the two brothers. And Yin Nan, Zheng Xu and Lixia all had lanterns in their hands.
"Okay, this is the last lantern of the day. You have to answer four lantern fans correctly in a row to get it. After Wang finished speaking, he lifted another red cloth.
Chu Xingli saw the cat-shaped lantern and liked it very much. Xiao Jingsa saw it, as if it was inevitable. However, Chu Xingli suddenly said: "I want to get this lantern myself, and the two of you are not allowed to speak." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jingsa had no choice but to agree. Xiao Jingchen was still standing beside her.
"Question 1: Where is the most absurd place?" Lao Wang said.
Chu Xingli thought about it, and said happily proudly: "Where there is no grass." ”
"Got it right, question two: the most unusual weather." Lao Wang said.
"Warm in winter and cool in summer." Chu Xingli replied easily.
"Answered correctly, the third question: Zhongni Sun and Moon. Guess someone. Lao Wang said.
"Kong Ming." Chu Xingli replied easily.
"Answered correctly, if the girl answered the last question correctly, this lantern will be yours." After Lao Wang finished speaking, he paused for a while and said, "I haven't seen each other since we separated." Or guess someone. ”
Chu Xingli listened to it and thought about it for a long time but didn't come up with it. Xiao Jingchen suddenly said: "Beauty." ”
"By the way, it's a beauty." Lao Wang was very happy.
Chu Xingli looked at him casually, and suddenly felt that he was handsome.
Lao Wang picked up the cat-shaped lantern and handed it to Chu Xingli and said, "Congratulations to the girl for getting the lantern." Chu Xingli took the lantern and left with them.
