On this side, Xiu'er waited on the riverside street in Funan for a while, and Xuanyuan Xue and Empress Nanyuan came.

"Xiu'er, it's been a long time." The empress tidied up the messy hair next to her ears with some pity. This girl, the more she looks at it, the more she likes it, the feeling is like looking at her own daughter, so she can't help but exude that kind of motherhood.

Xiu'er was very pleased to touch the empress on her head, and took out a ghost story from her body: "Madam, give, the latest." ”

"Oh open, oh open." The empress smiled happily.

Xuanyuan Xue smiled: "Xiu'er, you always have so many good things to share with my mother. ”

Xiu'er laughed, took out another notebook, and stuffed it to Xuanyuan Xue: "Yours are indispensable." ”

The long street by the Funan River is brilliantly lit, full of people, and tourists are weaving. On both sides of the street, all the shops are lit up in front of each other, and they are hung with lanterns with a variety of unique shapes.

The flowers and trees on the street are also full of lanterns. It can be said that the light tree is a thousand lights, and the flower market lights are like day.

The three of them first walked around the market for a long time, and finally went down to the Funan River, ready to put out the lanterns.

Compared with the bustle of the street, although there are many people by the river, it is relatively quiet and spacious. At this time, the flow of people is still concentrated in the streets, and it will take about half an hour for the flow of people to pour into the river.

By the river, the weeping willows are still clinging, surrounded by lanterns, a streamer overflowing, and the slowly flowing Funan River water stirs up a piece of silver light under the lights.

Xiu'er lights up the lanterns, puts them in the water, and lets them float with the water. Then put your hands together, close your eyes, and start making a wish.

"I hope Hao Xiaoniu will be happy all her life, and I hope that Xia Maniac will always be happy. I hope that the excellent Xiu'er can get back her memory. Xiu'er hopes that she can also have a home that truly belongs to her, a family that loves me, a family that I love......" Xiu'er silently made these close or ethereal wishes in her heart.

Hao Xiaoniu is the first person she met in this world to give her home, and now in her heart, she is as important as her relatives. Summer maniac? Xiu'er smiled, although she was disgusting, but if there was no Xia Maniac, life would seem to have lost its color.

In my heart, the obsession of always wanting a home can't be faded.

Not only because she wants her relatives, but also because she wants to know who she really is.

Xuanyuan Xue glanced at Xiu'er, and also put the lantern, and Xuexiu'er made a wish like that.

The Empress Nanyuan held the lantern and didn't put it for a long time, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she lost her mind slightly.

"Mother, put the lanterns." Xuanyuan Xue tugged at her.

Only then did the empress come back to her senses, squatted down, slowly put the lantern into the water, and watched the lantern go away, but she did not make a wish.

"Madam, why don't you make a wish?" Xiu'er was slightly strange.

The empress smiled: "I'm old, I don't believe this." ”

She just wants life to be as it first sees. She also thought that Xu Yi had been thinking about it for a long, long time, and a wish that she had been thinking about for twenty years. However, knowing that it is impossible, knowing that it is just a luxury and fantasy, why should he allow such a wish to deceive himself.

Xiu'er glanced at the empress, and then looked at the lantern, seeing that it was about to float away, she quickly closed her eyes and made a wish for the empress: "I wish that my wife will be eighteen years old and will always be small." I hope that whatever my wife thinks in her heart can come true. ”

The empress looked at Xiu'er and was a little stunned.

Can what you want come true?

The empress, who has always been ho-ho, suddenly became unusually silent at this moment, she looked at the lanterns that had drifted away, and although she was middle-aged, her eyes that were still difficult to hide her charm gradually turned red.

What the Emperor Xiu didn't know was that at this moment, not far from them, someone was standing on the stone arch bridge, silently looking at the three people by the river, to be precise, his eyes had been falling on the empress.

She was watching the lanterns under the bridge, and he was watching her on the bridge.

In her eyes, there may only be lanterns and scenery. In his eyes, there was only her.

"Master, why bother, or go see her." The fire-burning prime minister who changed his face looked at Emperor Dongyu Changsun Ce with some distress, the master he had been looking at the empress like this for many days.

Changsun Ce smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head: "She won't want to see me." ”

"Are you going to never see you?" The prime minister really can't stand this kind of suffocating discomfort.

"Maybe, soon." Changsun Ce suddenly smiled, and his mood seemed to be better, "Let's go, I'll also go put a lantern." ”

The prime minister silently followed. glanced at the piggy-shaped lantern in the emperor's hand, and the corners of his lips twitched.

"I might wish." The eldest grandson smiled and closed his eyes.

……

So many lanterns, floating down the river. Only the empress's lantern, not far below the water, was unlucky enough to hit a whirlpool and kept spinning in place.

In the distance, another little pig lantern slowly floated in, and coincidentally, it was pulled into the whirlpool, and the two lanterns continued to rotate in the whirlpool, gradually leaning together.

After a long time, the whirlpool slowly stopped, and the two lanterns slowly floated together into the distance.

……

By the river, Xuanyuan Xue's expression was suddenly a little embarrassed, and she looked a little restless.

"Cher, what's wrong, not feeling well?" The empress withdrew her gaze from the lanterns, her eyes worried.

Xuanyuan Xue's face turned slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "Xiu'er, mother, you wait a while, I'll go back when I go." That one...... Tianchen drank too much milk tea. ”

"Look at you, hurry up." Xiu'er didn't care, "What's embarrassing to say." Go a little further on, go to the bridge, and there will be a place on the opposite side. ”

The empress also smiled and asked her to go quickly, this girl, what are you doing.

Xuanyuan Xue smiled embarrassedly and left in a hurry.

"Look at those lanterns," Xiu'er pointed with her finger, "We have a custom in Tianchen, during the begging festival, everyone will also come out to put lanterns." At that time, some descendants always liked to follow the girl they liked to put lanterns, because it is said that if two lanterns collide together, it is a destiny destined by God. ”

"Really?" The empress instinctively raised her eyes to look at the lantern she had put out, and she was slightly stunned when she saw it.

Why did her lanterns seem to have been hit by a lamp that came out of nowhere, and they were still floating down together greasy and crooked? When she saw clearly that the lantern was actually in the shape of a pig, the empress was stunned.

As if she had sensed, the empress suddenly raised her eyes to look at the arch bridge, but only saw a flying corner of her clothes, and at the bend, there seemed to be a flash of her back.

The empress rubbed her eyes, and the back was long gone.

She was slightly stunned, why did she seem to see that familiar figure in her soul at that moment just now? And the little pig lantern, that pattern, how can it be so coincidental?

"Quack." A few sudden duck calls interrupted the empress's trance.

"Hey, there is still a quack out to join in the fun on this big night." Xiu'er was happy, and suddenly became interested, and said to the empress: "Madam, I'll play a trick for you." ”

The Empress looked at her in surprise.

Xiu'er smiled and shouted at a few ducklings in the river.

The ducklings immediately swam over with cheers.

The empress's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Xiu'er incredulously.

"Look at it." Xiu'er happily commanded the duckling duck again.

Suddenly, the ducklings circled in the water in a certain way, like the well-trained little animals of the acrobatic troupe, and actually performed some funny movements in a rhythmic manner.

"Ao Bai Ao Bai Ao Bai Bai." Xiu'er is very happy.

The empress didn't smile openly, staring at Xiu'er's eyes, a little deep.

"Madam, why don't you be open-minded?" Xiu'er looked at the empress slightly strangely.

Empress: "Oh ho live." ”

Xiu'er: "......." How does she feel that this time Oh is not so sincere, and there is a perfunctory tone of hypocrisy everywhere.

The empress held Xiu'er's shoulders and asked casually: "Xiu'er, those little ducklings seem to understand your words, can you communicate with animals?" ”

Xiu'er grinned and said, "Well, after about five years old, one day suddenly I can communicate with animals without a teacher." I'll tell you, I last time. ”

Xiu'er paused for a moment, and felt that it was inappropriate to directly talk about Shangzhou's affairs, so she changed her words: "Last time, I took Xia Feng to the mountains to pick mushrooms." When I met a few bad guys, my tiger body was shocked, and the mountains of tigers, lions and wolves followed me, but it was majestic......."

"Really?" The empress's voice trembled slightly.

"I really can't be true, I don't believe you ask my brother." Xiu'er thought that the empress was so frightened by the tiger that her voice trembled, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't be afraid, in fact, the tiger is very cute, I originally wanted to summon one to be a mount, but I was afraid of scaring the people of Shengdu." ”

As he spoke, Xuanyuan Xue returned.

The empress's gaze swept over Xuanyuan Xue and Xiu'er one by one, all thinking.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiu'er said goodbye to the empress Xuanyuan Xue. I didn't tell anyone in the house when I came out, I used to say it to Hao Xiaoniu every time, and I would also tell the maid in the yard. But when I came out in a hurry today, I forgot about it.

"Xiu'er, otherwise, I'll have someone send you back." Xuanyuan Xue said enthusiastically.

"No need, I'm very familiar with Shengdu." Xiu'er naturally won't let people send it, and it is necessary not to cause trouble to people.

The empress and Xuanyuan Xue didn't insist, after all, Xiu'er had come out many times, and she was a native of Shengdu, and there were many people on the street, so she didn't worry about safety.

The three went their separate ways.

"Mother, Xiu'er is really cute, and Xue'er likes her so much." Xuanyuan Xue coquettishly carried the empress's arm.

The empress glanced at her: "Oh ho, oh ho, yes, you two are really fateful." ”

Xuanyuan Xue nodded obediently, lowered her eyes, covering a trace of cold light that flashed under her eyes, and a sneer hooked up at the corner of her lips.

Here, Xiu'er walked out of Huadeng Street with a familiar car, then bypassed a street, turned into an alley, and when she walked out of this alley, not far away, she could enter Wangfu Street and return to Haofu.

Originally, she could have taken the main road all the time, but she was a little disgusted with the distance, so she took a shortcut and walked this small alley. Anyway, he Xiu'er is a hooligan directly, and he is not afraid of hooligans at all.

The light in the alley is very bad, and the shadows cast by the big locust trees are weird. This makes Xiu'er, who has written a lot of ghost stories, automatically make up those plots.

"Woo woo, dig a pit to bury yourself." Xiu'er said self-deprecatingly, and then straightened her chest, "Lao Tzu is the ancestor of ghost stories, I'm afraid of a ball, Lao Tzu ......"

Xiu'er's words suddenly paused in her mouth, and she turned her head vigilantly.

Behind her, at some point, two black-clothed men appeared with their faces covered.

Without waiting for Xiu'er to make a move, the two stepped forward, covered Xiu'er's mouth, dragged her deep into the alley, and finally opened a courtyard in the alley and dragged her in.

Xiu'er wanted to resist, but she was weak, and the handkerchief covering her mouth and nose seemed to be under some kind of soft drug.

In sight, there is an abandoned yard, it seems that it has been abandoned for many years, and it is estimated that no one will come in at all.
