A few days have passed, and I still sent tofu to the Jianghu Inn on time, eating special noodles for three cents, but Mu Niangzi has never shown up again, and there is no one in even Tianzi No. 1 room, I don't know if I live in Mu Mansion, thinking of the cold sword of Mu County Lieutenant, I still don't have the courage to find out.

Every two or three days, I would still visit Lao Meng, chat with him, and learn to make a crappy basket, but I never met Long Yuhan again.

As for Li Huichun, I really didn't find anything out of the ordinary. If it weren't for the fact that he stopped me from doing it last time when he treated my mother, if it weren't for Long Yuhan saying that thirty people could hardly reach him alone, I really felt that he was just an ordinary doctor.

Hey, I don't know how to give Xiao Mu an errand, but fortunately he didn't set a deadline for me. However, if this continues, will my wish to become an elite spy still come true?

Xiao Mu? Strange to say, this man has not appeared for several days, as if the dew on the tip of the grass has evaporated and disappeared as soon as the sun shines. Could it be that he was also afraid of the heat so he didn't show up?

I suddenly felt that everything around me was strange, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.

"It's so lively! Where do we go to put lanterns at night? ”

"Yes, yes! I'll take Brother Xiang with me, and you will also call Brother Wang. ”

"Well, at the beginning of that time, I was waiting for you at the old place."

Two women passed me and said excitedly.

Put flower lanterns?

As far as I could see, there were more people selling lanterns on both sides of the street. Even Liao's shopkeeper, who sells Wenzhai antiques on the Huichun Hall, was busy hanging lanterns on roadside stands.

"Did you see a magpie today?"

"Nope."

"Do you know why?"

A family of four on the side of the road was eating wontons, and the woman asked a pair of young children with a smile.

The two children, about seven or eight years old, shook their heads, expecting their mother's answer.

"Because, they all flew to build a bridge today, there is a pair of lovers in the sky, they love each other very much, but they are separated by the Milky Way, and they can only meet on this day every year, waiting for the magpies to build a bridge."

"Ah, how pathetic they are." The girl pouted.

The man on the side touched the child's head and quickly changed the topic: "Shall we come out to see the lanterns at night?" ”

"Good, good!"

"Then we said in advance, don't run around when you go out......"

As I walked along the road and listened to the sporadic conversations in my ears, I realized that it was Tanabata today. No wonder A-Niang caught up with me when I went out in the morning and said, "Come back early today and take Jiajia out for a walk in the evening." ”

Thinking of A-Niang's words, my whole body trembled, how could this person not speak? Didn't you say that you won't force me to be with Wang Jiajia? Why did you find a chance for me to hang out with her?

Wang Jiajia, okay, you must have begged A-Niang. Hey? There are a lot of people coming out tonight, maybe I can find you a wishful husband? Under the dim light, the scar on Wang Jiajia's face will not be too conspicuous, maybe any man will take a look.

With a little hope, I finally looked forward to it until dark. The sky is full of stars and the streets are brightly lit. The variety of lanterns is dazzling.

Wang Jiajia also dressed up carefully tonight, the night was hazy, her face was full of spring, and she was even more charming, and even the left side of her face covering her hair revealed a hint of mystery. There are already single men passing by who look back frequently, could it be that they have taken a fancy to her?

I quickly moved out of the way and kept a little distance from her. In my heart, I silently prayed that Boss Moon would be merciful, throw out a red thread, and let people take her.

"Brother Jianghu, look, those river lamps are so beautiful! Why don't we pick one and write our wishes? Wang Jiajia saw me walk away and put her arm on my arm.

I was so frightened that I quickly took out a string of copper coins and stuffed it into her hand: "Come, take it, you go and pick it up." ”

"Hmm." Wang Jiajia ran over excitedly.

I breathed a sigh of relief, this Wang Jiajia, I know that I don't like her, why do you still behave so closely? Most of the men and women who come out today are in pairs, so don't get me wrong.

I straightened my clothes and looked around, only to see a familiar figure approaching.

Mu Niangzi!

She was carrying a rabbit-shaped lantern in her hand, and she was still wearing a dreamy white gauze skirt, like a spring breeze, which rolled up people's souls.

The lights flickered all around, and her beautiful face was the most dazzling star, which caused the surrounding pedestrians to stop and look. And she, as if she had lost her soul, just walked slowly forward, as if all the noise around her had nothing to do with it.

"The owner." When Mu Niangzi arrived in front of me, I didn't get out of the way like the others, but gently stopped her.

"Oh, Li Jianghu?" She stopped abruptly and looked left and right as if a sleepwalker had suddenly been woken up.

I smiled and said, "The owner also came out to enjoy the lanterns?" ”

"Hmm." Mu Niangzi turned her head to look at the lanterns on the side of the street, but tears flashed in her bright eyes: "It's been three years, we got married on Qixi three years ago, and I thought that we could spend every year on Qixi in the future, but it's a pity that ......"

She looked down and smiled, and a tear fell, which she quickly wiped away with the back of her hand and raised her head again, as if this would stop the tears from spilling out.

"Some people are very important, but since they are no longer there, they still have to let go of what should be put down." I thought about it for a long time, and carefully comforted.

Mu Niangzi smiled lightly: "It's better to forget about each other in the rivers and lakes......"

I've heard this sentence, it seems to be said by Zhuangzi, it seems to teach people to learn to give up attachment and start a new life...... It seems to mean this, and I don't know if it's right.

I thought in my heart, looking forward to Mu Niangzi's next words, but she stopped, staring into the distance, and the whole person seemed to be frozen.

I followed her gaze, just twenty steps ahead, Li Huichun was walking towards him, he was still holding a little girl who was about half a year old in his arms, followed by a young woman, holding his arm gently with one hand, and holding a lantern like Mu Niangzi in the other hand. The three of them are happy, obviously Li Huichun and his wife and daughter.

Finally, Li Huichun also noticed Mu Niangzi, his smile froze on his face, and even the woman beside him seemed to be nervous.

I thought they would come over to say hello, but when the woman said something to Li Huichun, Li Huichun only nodded and smiled at us, holding her daughter in one hand and putting her shoulder around her with the other hand and going to the other side.

"Boss, it's okay." I asked cautiously. I think there should be a story between them, and if I'm lucky, I might be able to hear it tonight.

"It's fine." Mu Niangzi sighed and smiled slightly, as if the workers on the dock were refreshed after unloading the goods.

"How is the owner alone?" I asked, and as soon as the words came out, I regretted wanting to slap myself, but what I actually wanted to say was: why don't you go together......

"Originally, it was Long Yuhan who accompanied him, but he suddenly said that he saw an acquaintance and chased him out, I waited for a long time, and I didn't see him come back, so I walked around alone." Mu Niangzi raised the rabbit lantern in her hand: "This was bought in Liao's Wenzhai, beautiful, right?" ”

"Hmm." I answered.

"When I bought the lamp just now, I met Li Huichun and them, and their family is very happy."

I looked at the place where they had disappeared, hesitated for a long time, and only replied, "Yes." ”

Mu Niangzi continued: "I think I should forget my previous husband and start my new life." I feel like I'm as happy as they are. You tell me? ”

"Yes. Yes. I felt like I couldn't speak for a while, and my heart was beating faster with my money bag in my hand.

"Are you alone too?" Mu Niangzi looked left and right: "You see that the people who came out tonight are all walking together, and being alone like us will be laughed at, if you are not in a hurry to go back, can you accompany me for a walk?" I can tell you my story. How is it? ”

Qixi Festival, beautiful scenery, open appointment! Li Jianghu, Li Jianghu, have you taken shit luck? Oh no, it's supposed to be peach blossom luck.

I felt like a rabbit had broken into my heart, and it was about to jump out of my chest. Walk with her and listen to her story...... She wants to start a new life...... Does she think she can do it by looking for me?

"I ......"

After a moment of excitement, I suddenly felt inferior again, and at this moment, I only had fifty cents in my purse at most. Walk around with her, what is enough to buy? What can I give her?

"Brother Jianghu, look, I bought it and wrote auspicious words, let's go, let's go and put the river lantern." Wang Jiajia excitedly held the river lantern and naturally grabbed my arm with one hand.

"Hey, Jiajia." I quickly pushed her away.

"How...... Oh, you're ...... Mu Niangzi! Hehe, your lanterns are so beautiful! You're so pretty, too! Wang Jiajia seemed to have just noticed Mu Niangzi on the side, staring at her with a pair of eyes: "Why don't we go and see the river lantern together?" ”

Mu Niangzi smiled faintly: "No need, you guys go play." ”

"Oh, okay, let's go! Brother Jianghu, what's wrong? Let's go! ”

I didn't think of how to answer Mu Niangzi's invitation, but I was disturbed by this annoying Wang Jiajia. But she didn't realize that she was in trouble, and all her thoughts were on the river lantern.

"Oops, Jiajia!" When I got rid of her hand again and turned my head to look, Mu Niangzi was long gone.

"Let's go, Brother Jianghu."

"You let go! I've told you how many times, don't pull and pull in public, I don't want people to misunderstand! An inexplicable anger suddenly rose up that I didn't even expect.

"I ...... I'm sorry. It's me who bothering you and Mu Niangzi...... Spoken? Wang Jiajia took two steps back, glanced at me timidly, and searched for Mu Niangzi's figure in the crowd.

Everyone is gone, and there is a ghost!

I only felt that my breath was stuffed in my chest and I didn't vomit unpleasantly: "Can you stop pestering me all the time in the future?" There is a difference between men and women, do you understand? ”

"I ......"

"I really don't have feelings for you, do you remember?"

"Remember......" Wang Jiajia's mouth was deflated, sobbing and turning around and running.

My heart is much more comfortable, I know that the words are heavier, but this is what I say in my heart, I don't want to lie to her, and I don't want her to still have illusions about me. I think a man should be honest, and since he doesn't love it, he should refuse ruthlessly.
