Chapter 14: The Lantern Festival Begins
Mu You later asked the shopkeeper to bring a few cups of tea, saying that he was going to drink.
Looking at Mu You, who was desperately drinking tea to get rid of the smell of wine at this time, Chen Yao raised his eyebrows meaningfully, and said with a smile, "I'm so afraid~ He won't come anyway~~"
Mu You didn't pay attention to her, but gave her a blank look, don't open your mouth if you can't speak, and then he raised his hands and swallowed all the tea left in the cup.
The sweetness of this tea is very good, and the girl can't help but purse her lower lip, thinking that this tea is quite delicious and quenches her thirst. Drinking it into her stomach and feeling warm, she asked the shopkeeper to fill a cup and stuffed her stomach.
"......" Chen Yao has nothing to say now, you really haven't drunk any more, you are drinking tea as wine!!
After a while, Mu You really couldn't drink it, he only felt that his stomach was swollen and panicked, and he hiccuped from time to time, which was very uncomfortable, and he yelled in his heart that he would never drink so much tea next time.
Chen Yao didn't cover her mouth and laugh, she couldn't help it if she didn't laugh, she could only turn her head sideways and stop looking at Mu You, what if she didn't hold back and laughed.
"If you want to laugh, laugh, hide and do!" Mu You looked at her indifferently.
Well? And this kind of good thing! Then I might as well be respectful!!
"Poofha...... Sister Youyou, you ......" Chen Yao was not polite at all, and laughed on the spot.
Bang!!!
Mu You saw that she really laughed to herself, and her fair face suddenly turned red, so she picked up her fist and punched Chen Yao's fist, and said angrily, "What's so funny!! ”
"Ah!!h Chen Yao screamed in pain, her slender arm was quickly raised, and her palm was covered on her little head, with tears in her eyes, her blue eyes were very wet, and the wind outside the window lifted her hair, which looked extremely moving, and the grievances on her face were a little unbearable.
How can you have such fun, you make me laugh yourself!! You're going to beat me up when I laugh!!
Chen Yao puffed out his mouth and shouted in his heart for a long time, but he just muttered in his heart, so as not to be beaten again when he said it.
Obviously, this matter is about to pass, but who expected Chen Yao to say again, "You have the ability to beat Qi Yan~"
She said in a very small voice, but she was still heard by Mu You, and as you can imagine, there was another big bag on her head.
After the tea in the girl's belly was digested, the two put some broken silver on the table, and then went out of the wine shop, Mu You had already put on the veil when she came out of the private room, Chen Yao followed her, she didn't have that habit, naturally she didn't wear any veil on her face,
Chen Yao glanced at Mu You, walking beside her and could clearly see her appearance, the veil covered most of her appearance of the country and the city, but it showed a kind of unintentional struggle for spring, a group of jealousy, under the veil, painted a sense of mystery on her face, making people want to know her appearance even more, when he unveiled, some people would say that it was the fairy who fell into the mortal dust, no wonder she had to wear it.
The girl's eyes were lowered, but she looked at Chen Yao stupidly, although the relationship between the two was good, but Chen Yao, as a woman, couldn't help but be a little envious.
Mu You was at ease with her fiery gaze, glanced at her, and saw that she was stunned for a long time, and then said dryly, "What do you think I do?" ”
"Where am I looking at you?!" Chen Yao blushed, a little at a loss, and finally planned to refuse to admit it.
"You have ......"
"I don't have !!"
"——" Her scoundrel made Mu You still a little unresponsive, if you want to see it, what do you do in secret, I won't eat you, but Chen Yao doesn't admit it, and she is not in the mood to fight with her, after all, winning or losing in such a trivial matter is meaningless.
I simply waved my hand and passed it in a daze.
However, it is not yet dark, but there are more and more people gathered in Lingqiao Town, who are busy with this and that, and gradually have the liveliness of the lantern festival.
Lingqiao Town is also antique, the surrounding houses are all white-walled wooden piles, the house tiles are craggy, the street paved by bluestone slabs is thrown far away, the houses on both sides are connected by the black steel wires of the air passage, and the lanterns hanging under the steel line are the lanterns that are not lit up before the auspicious time arrives.
Just from the current scene, you can imagine what it will be like to be happy later.
This is the first time Mu You has come to Lilingqiao Town to participate in the Lantern Festival, and the girl's curious eyes are constantly looking around, and her eyes are always shining.
She and Chen Yao walked side by side for a while, passing several stone bridges on the way, which is why this town is called Lingqiao Town, this town was crossed by the flowing water from the east, and the branches of the flowing water were scattered throughout the town, so the stone bridge had to be repaired to facilitate passage.
Later, these bridges became a local specialty, and it is a great place to relax.
Mu You looked at the lantern selected above his head very seriously, there were some words on the lamp, it should be a lantern riddle.
"Floor to floor, layer by layer - a knife, floating with water, with eyes, no eyelashes."
She couldn't help but sigh that these things were so funny. It's a pity that Qi Yan can't accompany him.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh again.
Maybe he was looking at these new things, and he didn't notice the eyes of outsiders, Chen Yao thought the same, he had no intention of fighting for spring, but the flowers bloomed beautifully. Passers-by all looked back, and some deliberately raised their voices in a vain attempt to attract the girl's attention.
It's like people don't come to see the lantern show, but to see her.
The two continued to walk for a while, and suddenly found that people gradually began to walk in the same direction, thinking that this time the lantern festival should also begin.
"Let's go over too~~" Mu You looked around and pushed Chen Yao's elbow with his elbow.
"Hmm." Chen Yao nodded.
After following the crowd for a while, the two came to a place that resembled a square, and several streets stretched out in all directions around the square, and the roads here led to this place.
In the middle of the square stood a giant willow with deep lines on its trunk and one or two nodules, and I don't know how many years it had grown. The canopy of the cabinet willow tree was higher than the height of the house, and the thick willow vines swung down from above, and there seemed to be several colored balls hanging on it, which kept fluttering in the evening breeze.
The willow leaves swing in the wind, like ordinary people's homes.
The summer sun was slowly setting, and before I knew it, there was only a little afterglow left in the sky, and the light was withdrawn to the west at a speed visible to the naked eye, on the contrary, the moonlight, coming from the east, gradually Chen Dad's sky.
Mu You kept looking in the crowd, looking for the figure of that person.
So in the cheers of the people, the lantern festival began!!
