Chapter 8 Shangyuan Lantern Festival
The night sky like a black cloth, splashed with fireworks like a waterfall, at night, a long street is lit up, under the lanterns, all kinds of stalls are available, selling lamps, selling toys, or setting up a small table to sell Lantern Festival, the man in charge is so hot that he rolls up his sleeves in this cold night, the girls, the little hairy, are playing next to the stalls, or are also busy in the stalls, a lively scene.
In the middle of the paving of the sandwich road is a weaving "river of people", men and women, shuttling between them, jinghai cloth skirts, hosta brocade robes, deep clothes, or any draped in a big ...... Dragging the family and looking for a spouse are all in this crowd.
Hong Tang hadn't gone down the mountain for a long time and got into the crowd.
Smelling this turbid and free breath, the mood is particularly comfortable.
Sure enough, Hong Tang belongs to the crowd!
Hong Tang rushed ahead alone, and Morikawa followed with difficulty.
No matter how lively Morikawa usually is, like a teenage naughty boy, now he is walking extremely hard like an old man.
Who called him-
Holding a lantern in one hand, a cloth bag containing various pastries in the other, and all kinds of gadgets on his body: a grimace mask bought for Youyou, a silver hairpin bought for Sangu who I don't know if it's a fake, and a jade bracelet bought for Xiaoxia......
Although those objects were bought by Hong Tang who reluctantly cut his love and sold all kinds of hairpins that were inserted in his head when he was cut off from Hong Mansion for money, they are now all carried by Morikawa.
The reason is: I am afraid that my body will not be able to bear it, I will not be able to keep up, and I will fall behind.
So these bits and pieces hindered his progress and lost his face as a demon king.
Hong Tang was relaxed, only holding a sugar gourd, this sugar gourd was bought by Morikawa to eat himself, but now he was held by Hong Tang and walked in front, and he couldn't eat a bite, which was quite like hanging a radish in front of the donkey's head. The pace is brisk, and there is no feeling that you usually have to fall off as long as you walk a little faster.
Looks like you're adapting well......
Morikawa chuckled.
People come and go, Hong Tang is small and likes to squeeze into the crowd, so he was instantly submerged in the crowd and disappeared without a trace.
What about Hong Tang?
Morikawa saw that the person in front of him was walking and disappearing, and he was so anxious that everyone jumped up.
It was obviously two steps ago just now, how can you say that it is gone.
"Tian ...... Dirt? Hong Tang's voice was faintly heard in the crowd behind Morikawa, sounding as if he was thinking about some problem.
Hong Tang?
Morikawa turned around sharply and bumped into a girl in a linen skirt, combed a double bun, and decorated a few mountain flowers, it should be Hong Tang.
"Where did you run, I'm dying!" Morikawa held "Hong Tang" on the shoulder and said loudly, as if his home was on fire.
The "Hong Tang" twisted a few times in his arms, and said shyly: "Childe, you ......"
Then the "Hong Tang" slowly raised his head, and what caught Morikawa's eyes was a strange face, melon seed face, Danfeng eyes, and a handful of cherry red under the nose, it was really a Peugeot nobody, but unfortunately, what Morikawa was looking for now was not this beauty.
"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." Morikawa's hand on the beauty of the shoulder moved the beauty to the side, and continued to walk back in a hurry.
Only the beautiful woman was left staring at the spot in a daze, and after a while, her eyes turned red and she bit her red lip. I just think that he is a wooden pimple who does not understand the amorous feelings.
"Girl, this word, pronounced Qi, and neatly Qi homonym."
"Hmmm......"
Hong Tang's voice came from nowhere.
God, Morikawa almost wanted to find this Hong Tang to come out and beat him.
It's just a tortured dead girl.
If Morikawa is given another chance, he will not take Hongtang down the mountain if he is killed.
"Morikawa, where are you?" A female voice called Morikawa went straight into Morikawa's mind, with a little excitement.
"I should have asked you, right?" Morikawa is angry.
"I'm guessing the lantern riddle, come here, get a prize for getting it right!"
"Guess which side of the riddle is!" Morikawa shouted straight to that side in his mind.
But it seems to be a bottomless abyss over there, and as soon as you throw the sound into it, there is no reverberation. Morikawa was so angry that he spun around and looked at it.
"Can the girl guess it?"
Looking back.
The eyes hit a girl in a plain linen skirt, with a double bun on her head, decorated with a few pale green mountain flowers, and wearing a pair of red fish-shaped earrings.
A pair of apricot eyes narrowed slightly, a small mouth that was not crimson but translucent, one hand was supported under the chin, one hand was holding the waist, swaying left and right, as if thinking about something, every move revealed the aura of a half-green girl.
It's Hong Tang.
The fireworks bloomed, constantly leaving a jumping color on her.
At this time, there is only this bright color in the eyes, as if the willows on the street are green and red, and the fireworks are bright and extinguished, and they have all faded in color, which really makes Morikawa unable to turn around.
"Qi, the riddle is - born a pair, made a pair from the ground." Hong Tang suddenly felt someone coming up from behind.
Well? Why is there still someone rushing to answer?
When I turned around, it turned out to be the stinky crow that looked like a dog.
"Why did it take you so long to keep up?" Hong Tang gave Morikawa an elbow to the abdomen.
Morikawa was in pain, and he was reluctant to talk about her again, but said, "I'm walking too slowly." ”
"Hmph," Hong Tang turned around, "Thank you for your help." ”
The owner of the stall looked at them, smiled, took out a box from behind the stall, and said: "Since 'Heroes Save Beauty', it is also considered that this girl has answered correctly, I am willing to lose in betting, I am willing to lose in betting, and this wooden box contains the gifts mentioned below." ”
"Thank you, thank you." Hong Tang hurriedly reached out to pick it up.
The boss's smile was thicker again, and he slapped his hands: "By the way, contemptible people are also people who watch countless people, but they rarely see people who are really made in heaven. With that, he bowed to the two of them.
"Huh?" Hong Tang's hand holding the wooden box hadn't been withdrawn, and suddenly his body stumbled forward.
"Mistake-" Hong Tang just wanted to say a misunderstanding, Morikawa came over with one hand, carried Hong Tang's back collar, bowed to the boss, and said with a smile: "There is vision." ”
After speaking, he dragged Hong Tang away. Only the boss was left there brushing his beard and smiling.
"Why are you pulling me away, my head is about to fall off!" Hong Tang held the wooden box in one hand and held the head that was about to fall out with the other.
Morikawa smiled on the side: "Tomatoes, are you stupid, those who dance and ink, do businessmen, and are most afraid of losing face, if you let him lose face, your box will be taken back by him, I don't think you can bite him to death." ”
Well, what Morikawa said doesn't seem to be unreasonable.
Hong Tang moved his head, and it seemed that he was stable, so he put down the hand holding his head and held the box with both hands.
Later, the river of people flowed, and slowly, the fireworks faded down, the lanterns dimmed, the talented and beautiful women held their hands and said goodbye, the drinkers were drunk, the diners were full, and the sea of people dried up.
Hong Tang leaned on the stone bridge, happily touched his round belly, came out to mix, and sure enough, he was locked up on the mountain.
That's right, the wooden box.
"Morikawa, how do you know, that mystery." Hung Tang Road.
Morikawa looked at the few fireworks in the sky and said, "Someone said it before, so I wrote it down." ”
"I'll just say how can you know so much like a fool, but thank you for your timely help." Hong Tang took out the wooden box, the wooden box was made in a worse shape, it looked crooked and not very square, but there was a pair of mandarin ducks carved.
"Whoever says you're stupid, you're even more stupid, you don't necessarily remember it if you hear it!" Morikawa said angrily.
Hong Tang glanced at him, and his gaze returned to the wooden box: "Look at what is inside." ”
Unexpectedly, this inconspicuous and even a little ugly box contained two night pearls, not very big, not too small, about the size of a grape, one glowing with a light blue light, and the other glowing with a faint green light.
It's not that Hong Tang hasn't seen such a big night pearl in the Hong Mansion, and there are even bigger and brighter ones, but it didn't make her want to be so happy today.
Blue and green light illuminate each other and merge into one.
A pair made in heaven, a pair in the ground......
Hong Tang didn't notice, Morikawa was also looking at her.
Morikawa has lived for hundreds of years and thousands of years, even if he has seen so many beautiful women, he is not as happy as seeing this stinky little girl.
Maybe this is a pair made in heaven and a pair on earth?
Morikawa didn't know.
It's just that in his heart, tonight's lights only belong to him, only to them, and have nothing to do with the gods on the barren mountain.
Yes, not at all.
That man, why should he pester her for the rest of her life.
