When Tian Zhiyu told Su Yijin the date of departure, she was obviously in a much lower mood, and her eyes were full of sadness that she couldn't hide. However, she still cheered up and comforted Tian Zhiyu in turn, which made Tian Zhiyu even more uncomfortable.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

If Chinese New Year's Eve is a day for people to reunite with their families, then Shangyuan Festival is a national carnival festival.

Tian Zhiyu originally thought that this day was just lively, everyone ate and drank, and only found out on this day that the Shangyuan Festival was the real festival.

In the morning, before he got up, he had already heard a few maids of Ma Bencai's family outside start chattering, cleaning for a while, hanging colored paper lanterns for a while, and setting off firecrackers for a while.

After a while, someone knocked on his door, and after he said please come in, he found that it was a new Tian Jing who came in.

The little girl can already speak fluently, her little face has become round, and her big eyes are getting brighter and brighter, just as Ma Bencai said, she is a little beauty embryo.

She laughed and ran to Tian Zhiyu's bed, and said, "Brother Tian hurry up, today is the Shangyuan Festival, the streets will be full of people for a while, there will be a parade in the afternoon, and there will be a lot of lanterns in the evening, Brother Tian, will you take Jing'er to see the lanterns?"

At this time, she was wearing a pale green cotton jacket, a cardigan, a pair of wide-legged trousers underneath, a double ponytail and a pigtail on her head.

Tian Zhiyu thought that two days ago he also said that Ma Bencai was a daughter slave, thinking that if he had a daughter, he would definitely be a daughter slave, and he would take Tian Jing to buy clothes these days, both men's and women's clothes, wear women's clothes when he was at home, and wear men's clothes when school starts.

After getting along for half a month, Tian Jing completely stuck to Tian Zhiyu, almost never leaving when he was at home, always pestering Tian Zhiyu to tell her stories and play games, and even wanted to sleep with Tian Zhiyu at night.

Tian Zhiyu thought that the other party was an eight-year-old girl, and he had to go to Su Yijin for a tryst in the middle of the night, so he said that he dispelled the idea of the little girl.

Tonight's lantern festival, Su Yijin also made an appointment with him last night, in order to spend more time with her sweetheart, she also deliberately advanced tonight's performance time, no longer doing the finale, but at dusk, so that after the performance is over, she will have enough time to accompany Tian Zhiyu.

There was still a lot of time before going to find Su Yijin, so he could accompany Tian Jing to go around, so he said, "No problem, let's go and see the lanterns after dinner." ”

Seeing the little girl very happy, Tian Zhiyu was also looking forward to it, he also wanted to see what kind of fire trees and silver flowers would be in Taiyuan City tonight.

got up and played with Tian Jing for a while, and read with her, the little girl's memory is very good, and she has been able to recite the three-character scripture, the surname of the hundred families and the thousand-character text fluently in just a few days.

As a reward, Tian Zhiyu promised to buy her a lot of toys and snacks when she watched the lanterns, and the little girl jumped up and down to find okra and they played.

After the last time Zheng Wuqiu's true qi deterrence, Tian Zhiyu regained his determination to practice non-stop for a moment.

It's just that after reaching the middle grade, it is more difficult for the true qi to advance a little more, Tian Zhiyu communicated with Wu Lihan, and Wu Li Han told him that he has made rapid progress, and there are many masters to his level, and most people will have a bottleneck period of three or five years, not only the internal force has not made the slightest progress, but there is even regression.

Some people persevere, and finally go to the middle grade, and some people can't persevere, and the last life is at this level.

This Tian Zhiyu can also understand, just like any craft, it is not difficult to go from beginner to proficient, but it is difficult to move from proficiency to mastery, at that time it not only tests talent, but also tests people's willpower.

Tian Zhiyu has very high talent and willpower, and since he has firmly established this path, he will not relax, and he will always run his true qi in his body.

The two of them exchanged for a while as usual, and Wu Lihan found that since Tian Zhiyu killed Zheng Luqiu, the whole person had a reborn temperament. Whether it is the move or the internal force, there is a fierce murderous aura, which is completely different from the beginning.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this murder that Tian Zhiyu's temperament was changed.

And Ulihan no longer has the confidence to win Tian Zhiyu, even if he doesn't use a secret weapon, Ulihan finds it difficult to find his flaws, and Dalantai's Imperial Grass Seeking Wind is almost invulnerable in his hands.

Of course, Wu Lihan also knows that when facing a master like Zheng Wuqiu, Tian Zhiyu still has no chance of winning, but for the vast majority of middle-grade masters, Tian Zhiyu has the ability to fight.

Wu Lihan was also thinking that if Tian Zhiyu had a master of the Dragon List as his master, then he would even be able to reach the top grade within two or three years, and ten years later, he would even become the youngest master of the Dragon List in history.

It's a pity that Tian Zhiyu has never been willing to worship any sect.

I don't know if his free and easy personality will make him crooked and become a peerless master in the end, or will it become a stumbling block on his way forward and empty his talent?

At noon, several maids couldn't suppress their excitement and began to discuss where they were going to play in the evening, and their faces were as bright as peach blossoms as they spoke.

Tian Zhiyu remembered that when okra was talking to himself about the Midyear Festival, he said that this day was also a stealing day, with infinite spring in his words, and now it was the appearance of a girl with spring, and he couldn't help but be very curious, what was going on with this stealing day.

As soon as he finished eating, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded on the street outside, and then the noise of the crowd broke out, Tian Zhiyu was still wondering what was going on, Tian Jing couldn't help but get excited, and said: "It's started, it's started, Brother Tian, let's go out and watch the gongs and drums beating." ”

Tian Zhiyu, who looked puzzled, was dragged out by Tian Jinglian, and as soon as he went to the street, he saw that the street was already full of people, and everyone was very excited, chatting about something.

In a moment a long procession came from a distant street corner, and at the front of the line was a rickshaw with a large drum, on which stood two big men, beating the rhythmic beat of the drum with their drumsticks.

Immediately behind the drum are four gongs, the rhythm of which corresponds to the beat of the drums, and the sound of gongs and drums is extraordinary.

Immediately after the turn was the Yangge team, there were more than a dozen middle-aged men and women, wearing uniform clothes, constantly twisting as they walked, and everyone's face was full of joy.

Then there were four people on stilts, who stood out from the crowd in the procession. While they followed the Yangge team in front, the performers performed extremely difficult movements, one of them performed on stilts and threw four vases without stopping, and the higher the audience's cheers, the higher his vases were thrown, and the people watching were terrified.

The other blew fire on stilts, and each time a long flame was blown, the other group would burst into applause. The other two were not idle, waving two fans in a very coordinated manner, while constantly grimacing, making the people on the street laugh.

After the stilts is the lion dance team, Tian Zhiyu originally thought that the lion dance was only popular in the south, but he didn't expect to see wonderful lion dance performances here.

The two beautiful lions performed various actions as they walked, and soon attracted many people to follow along.

The whole team has to be as long as a mile, the front drum car has arrived in front of Tian Zhiyu, and there are still people performing at the back corner, every time the team arrives, the onlookers will not only applaud and applaud, but also throw candy to the people in the team, carry water and hand water, quite have the momentum of eating pot pulp to welcome the king.

Tian Jing has been clapping and shouting constantly since she went out, and then someone stood in front of her, blocking her view, the little girl wanted to squeeze forward, but she couldn't squeeze through, Tian Zhiyu saw this, and simply let her ride on her neck and continue to watch.

When the team passed through the door, many people followed at the back of the line, and Tian Jing kept shouting: "Brother Tian, let's follow them to the street, they will perform for a long time." ”

Tian Zhiyu looked at Wu Lihan, and saw that he was even curious, so he said: "Let's go, anyway, if you have nothing to do, let's follow along." ”

Later, Tian Zhiyu learned that the performance team had to parade through the streets for an afternoon, until they had walked through every street and alley in Taiyuan City.

On this afternoon, Tian Zhiyu carried Tian Jing behind the crowd, and as the procession kept walking, Tian Jing became more and more excited, and finally his little voice was hoarse.

Tian Zhiyu also seems to have returned to his childhood all of a sudden, he has the impression that there are such activities in his hometown every New Year, many people perform, countless people watch, he and other children shuttle and play in the crowd, and finally often lose their shoes, tear their clothes, and wait for the crowd to disperse, no matter how to find it, they have to cry.

Later, Tian Jing told him that when their mother was still alive, every year on this day, it was her mother who led the brother and sister to follow the procession, and last year it was only her and her brother, who could not eat enough and had no clothes to wear, so they could only listen to the laughter and laughter on the street at home, and this year they can finally find the joy of the year again.

After following the team for a long time, Tian Jing was still not satisfied, and wanted to follow until dark, Tian Zhiyu thought to himself, my aunt and grandmother, don't you know what it's like to walk a few streets with dozens of pounds, this is even harder than when I practiced.

Pulling and training with equipment on his back, no matter how he swayed, he had to keep trying to maintain his balance with a little girl on his back, and he had to guard against the impact of the crowd, which was difficult to imagine.

Wu Lihan also saw that Tian Zhiyu was not easy, and originally wanted to fight for him for a while, but Tian Jing hugged Tian Zhiyu's neck tightly and said nothing.

In the end, Tian Zhiyu used two strings of rock sugar gourds, two sugar people, and a few small toys to finally coax Tian Jing to give up the plan of following the afternoon and obediently follow the two home.

And after dinner in the evening, it was not yet dark, and the tireless little girl began to encourage Tian Zhiyu to go to the street to see the lanterns, Rao is Tian Zhiyu felt that his physical strength was unlimited, and in terms of shopping, an eight-year-old girl could abuse him.

After coaxing and resting for a while, after a few maids cleaned up everything that should be cleaned up, all the family members went out under Tian Jing's repeated urging.

At this time, the lights were on, the moonlight was hazy, and the moon happened to hang on the branches of the willow trees.

Brand new lanterns are hung in every house on the streets. And the lanterns in each house are of different styles. This house is hung in the shape of a pumpkin, a gourd-like one is hung on the opposite door, and an apple-like one is next to it. Some of them have ordinary lanterns, but they are very beautiful with various patterns painted on them.

Tian Jing walked and looked from house to house, some people's courtyards were low, and the lanterns were not high, so she had to go up and touch them, looking very curious.

When the group arrived at the bell tower in Taiyuan, it was the largest open area in the city and home to various night markets. At this time, the bell tower was already full of all kinds of lanterns, and there were many wooden stakes erected in the open space, holding intricate lines, and the lines were also full of lanterns, and the crowd of people watching the lanterns crowded the originally spacious open space.

Seeing this, Ma Bencai said: "There are too many people here, let's walk along the river, there are a lot of lanterns there, and there are not many people." ”

Tian Zhiyu saw that the four maids who had been following behind had been whispering, and finally a few people pushed okra to stand up, and okra walked up to Ma Bencai and said: "Master, a few of them said that they want to play alone for a while, and I hope that the master will allow it." ”

Ma Bencai smiled and said, "You ghost girls, what do you think you don't know?" Go ahead, but pay attention to safety, don't be stolen, and steal money." ”

The four maids all smiled and blessed Ma Bencai, and said hello to Tian Zhiyu and Wu Lihan, so they joked with each other and ran towards the crowd.

"Brother Ma, what do you mean by stealing someone just now?" Tian Zhiyu asked puzzled.

Ma Bencai looked at Tian Zhiyu and then at Wu Lihan, and said, "Why don't you ask Brother Wu Lihan, this custom of stealing the sun is still passed down from the Yi people." ”

Tian Zhiyu looked at Wu Lihan curiously, Wu Lihan was also rarely shy, and said: " In fact, this stealing day, it is on this day, boys and girls can enjoy the street fun, and can steal some harmless things, such as a cabbage, a flower, etc., and if the girl is interested in a boy, the girl will hang a pendant around the waist and walk past the boy, and the boy will quietly take off the ornament, indicating that he is also interested in the girl, and the two can date alone, as for what will happen, different people may choose differently. ”

Tian Zhiyu suddenly realized, it turned out that the day of stealing was like this, no wonder a few maids talked about the Midyear Festival, and their eyebrows were full of spring.
