The bluestone path is sparsely populated, and the sound of horses' hooves clearly echoes in the alley.

When they arrived at the residence, the guard lifted the curtain of the car, and saw the overseer striding forward with a petite figure in his arms, and the lady in his arms was tightly wrapped in the brocade fur of the adult, and there was nothing to be seen except for the full head of hair.

Cen Yao got out of the car, whispered a few words to the guards beside him, continued to walk into the courtyard with his feet raised, put Ding Bao down, turned around and went to the study next to the bedroom.

In the middle of the night, the noisy Zhongdu City was finally silent for a few minutes.

There was a knock on the door outside the study, and a guard dressed in black pushed the door open and knelt down.

"Lord Hui, in the lower reaches of the river, all the lotus-shaped lanterns have been scooped up, and now they are being placed in the courtyard for your lordship."

Cen Yao walked out, and then the moonlight looked out, and the huge courtyard was full of all kinds of lotus lantern boats, neatly arranged in front of him, more varied than the shops selling lanterns.

These lanterns are all half damp, and the candle flame in the lamp is faint, and it can be seen at a glance that it was salvaged halfway.

Cen Yao walked around the courtyard with one hand behind his back, and finally saw the light pink lantern in a corner.

The guards hurriedly walked in and took out the lightboat and handed it to the overseer, and Cen Yao reached out and took out the small note placed inside the lantern.

When I opened it, I saw that there was only one sentence written on the slip of paper the length of my index finger.

Looking at it carefully word by word, the next second, the man slowly tightened his five fingers and rubbed the note in his palm little by little, the force was so great that the joints were faintly white.

"Lord Overseer, what should you do with the remaining lanterns?"

The man lowered his eyes, and there was no expression on his handsome white face, and the tall figure stood in the darkness, with a thick black rolling under his eyes.

"Thrown."

"What about this one?"

The man raised his eyes, and the guard opposite couldn't help but shudder.

"Demolished, burned."

"Yes, sir!"

It's terrifying, the eyes of adults are so terrifying, as if they want to eat people.

What was it about that note that could make an adult so angry?

No one dared to ask, so they could only hurriedly walk out with lanterns. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard the cold voice of the Overseer sound through the door.

"Leave that lantern and throw the rest away."

"Yes, yes......"

The guard hurriedly turned around and gently placed the lantern in his hand on the steps in front of the study, acting cautiously, for fear of breaking the skeleton of the fragile lantern.

Cen Yao didn't say anything more, just leaned over and silently picked up the lantern, turned around and walked into the study.

In the second half of the night, the bridge away from the river was already sparsely populated, and only a few vendors were left in the listless stalls.

I saw another man walking in the distance, holding a lotus lantern that had been blistered in the water, and slowly walked up the steps.

"Why did this boy come to put on the lights now? The Lantern Festival has passed, I'm afraid it's useless to put it now! ”

The vendor selling lanterns by the river couldn't help but remind.

As if the man hadn't heard it, he put a note into the lantern, lit the candle in the lamp, and pushed the little lantern boat deeper into the river.

Now it is dark and quiet from the surface of the river, and there is endless cold air in the gloom, and wherever the lantern goes, a faint yellow candlelight will be lit, trembling and moving forward, firm and paranoid.
