There are usually not many people in Central Park, but today is the Qingming Festival, and as soon as he stepped into the park, Qi Wu found that the park was brighter than before, and there were more people.

"Jin Si, what is that?"

Qi Wu looked in the direction of the lake in the park, where countless candles seemed to be burning, and it was also the place where the crowd was most concentrated.

"If you want to know, go check it out."

"Okay."

So the two of them walked together to the lake.

Crowds gathered around the lake, each of them seemingly holding a river lamp shaped like a lotus flower, with candles burning at the base.

They squatted down by the lake, looked sad, closed their eyes and prayed, and then put the lantern into the lake and floated downstream with the other lanterns.

The whole process is quiet and quiet, and the occasional voice is whispered, which does not disturb the atmosphere.

Qi Wu watched this scene quietly.

Even though she was no longer the most gifted temple priest for a thousand years, she could still feel the sad atmosphere, accompanied by people's nostalgia and prayers.

Jin Si's faint voice sounded in her ears: "On every festival of sacrifice, in order to mourn the dead, Kyoto people will put river lanterns in the rivers and lakes, and let them float into the distance. ”

When the words fell, he tilted his head to look at Qi Wu, who seemed to be in a daze looking at the scene in front of him, and slowly said, "Do you have anyone to mourn?" ”

"Yes."

Qi Wu replied with certainty.

So it didn't take long for Jin Si to put a lotus lantern in her arms.

He didn't explain anything, just said, "You can go if you want." ”

Qi Wu held the lotus lantern and showed a gentle smile to Jin Si.

Then she walked to the lake.

So the people who had not left the lake saw two young men with outstanding temperament appear by the lake.

The young woman squatted down by the lake holding the river lamp, while the man stood one step behind her, the umbrella in his palm subconsciously shifting in the direction of the woman.

Although they can't see their faces clearly, the superior figures of the two are enough to attract attention.

It wasn't until the cold eyebrows of the standing man swept the gaze of those onlookers that they suddenly realized that their peeping had disturbed them.

After that, no one came to bother them anymore.

Qi Wu lit the candle flame placed on the base of the river lantern.

Brilliant flames jumped in the river lanterns, and the warm heat spread in Qi Wu's palm.

Her eyes looked at the river lamp in her hand gently and calmly, as if she felt something, and the corners of her mouth gently raised a touch of arc.

Then she gently lowered the lantern into the lake and watched it float into the distance with the other lanterns, no longer lonely.

Does she have someone to mourn?

Some.

She was mourning the innocent girl, the original owner of this body. She could have had a brilliant life, but she died halfway.

She is mourning the suffering people who have been displaced by the war, and those poor people have always been the ones who have suffered in the war.

She is mourning the soldiers who gave their lives for the change of the times, and they could not have participated in that war.

At this moment, Qi Wu exudes a kind of compassion for the heavens and people, she is a real priest, she has the character of a goddess of compassion, she loves all beings.

"It's time to go."

Jin Si's voice sounded abruptly, breaking the original atmosphere.

He did it on purpose.

He didn't like Qi Wu's eyes just now, he wanted to destroy it.

Qi Wu got up quietly, and the emotions he had just revealed had disappeared behind his calm face.

She turned around and said softly, "Thank you, Jin Si." ”

By this time, the light rain in the sky had stopped, and the damp water vapor floated in the air, accompanied by the cold wind of the night.

Jin Si put down the umbrella and lowered the brim of Qi Wu's hat again.

Little Lemoncandy's eyes widened in bewilderment, as if to accuse him, and she muttered quietly, "It can't be any lower." ”

Jin Si snorted and calmly withdrew his hand.

He asked, "Do you really want to thank me?" ”

"Hmm."

Although she was still a little puzzled, what Qi Wu had promised to go out would not change, and she quietly waited for his next words.

Jin Si stood beside her, and it was the direction in which the wind was blowing.

He unhurriedly blocked the wind blowing towards Qi Wu, and then said calmly: "Then don't show that look just now." ”

"Huh?"

Qi Wu tilted his head and looked at him intently.

Jin Si tidied up her somewhat messy shawl, looked at Little Lemon Candy's eyes and raised her eyebrows calmly, "I know you understand." ”

Qi Wu gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his pale eyes were filled with a thin air like a mist, which was extraordinarily rippling.

She nodded, "I promise you." ”

Neither of them spoke again, and walked silently down the path by the lake.

This is a road often walked by people who come to the park for a walk, and there are many young couples on the trail at that time, and there are also parents who come out for a walk with their children.

But they all held hands without exception.

Qi Wu looked at this scene curiously, and the conversation between the child and the parent that he saw when he went to buy lemon candy came to his mind.

She bowed her head thoughtfully.

Jin Si's hand fell to his side, his knuckles were slender, his phalanges were cold and hard, and his broad palm seemed to be able to control everything.

Jin Si lazily walked with Little Lemon Candy, how could he have any habit of eating.

The only two times I ate were because of the people around me.

His thoughts diverged endlessly, but he was shocked to come back to his senses because of the delicate touch of his hand.

Jin Si couldn't hide his stunned eyes, and watched Qi Wu's white and soft hand hold his two fingers and pull them loosely.

It's the strength with which he can easily break free.

But Jin Si didn't do that.

Her hands seemed to be a little purple from the cold wind blowing and the nutrition had not been fully replenished.

He silently pulled the corners of his mouth, and a string tensed inexplicably in his mind.

"Why are you holding me?"

Having said that, Jin Si subconsciously tightened the hand that was glowing with coldness, and the warmth of the palm was transmitted to her.

Qi Wu said softly: "They are all like this. ”

Hearing this, Jin Si's gaze fell on the crowd in front of him, and his heart, which was still a little throbbing, suddenly sank.

He took Qi Wu's hand tightly, "What about what do you think?" ”

Qi Wu didn't answer him for a long time.

The coldness in Jin Si's eyes also sank inch by inch.

Until the sigh of nothingness came from beside him: "...... I probably thought. ”

She seemed confused, and there was still a hint of uncertainty in her tone.

But she spoke up anyway.

This is Qi Wu's rare confusion.

The priest of the temple, the words are the words and the promises, and she will not be confused, because that does not exist for her with the eye of discernment.

But right now, not even the Eye of Insight can solve this problem for her.
