Chapter 174: The Feast of a Hundred Lights

Strange as always.

It really looked like he could do it.

She silently hooked the corners of her lips, and quickly walked back to Mu Feibai's side, and said lightly, "Okay." ”

Mu Feibai was stunned, this was the first time Shuhua praised her.

For him, it was undoubtedly the best affirmation, Mu Feibai turned his head to look at her with a smile, and now he had many, many things to tell her directly.

"Because of you, I want to be a better person. ”

In this way, you can be a person who matches it.

Shuhua nodded, but didn't refute.

Mu Feibai looked at the figure of Shuhua slowly walking forward, and also bloomed with a bright smile

Also, who doesn't make great efforts to meet that person in this vast sea of people?

He felt that it was worth it.

"This street is almost at the end of the street, and I don't see these two people, where are they going?"

Mu Feibai looked around left and right, and he was tall, and he could easily see it in the crowd.

However, he didn't see Zhu'an and Weaving Dreams, but saw many people in groups of three or five, laughing and playing and rushing in the same direction.

He stopped an old woman and politely asked, "Mother-in-law, where are you going?"

The gray-haired old woman leaned on her cane, looked at them slowly, and said kindly, "Are you from out of town?"

Mu Feibai smiled and nodded yes.

The old woman continued: "The old body thinks too, otherwise how could you not know the most important hundred lantern banquet in the Cold Festival!"

"Mother-in-law is right, then may I ask again, what is the Hundred Lights Banquet?"

The old woman coughed with a handkerchief to the corner of her mouth, and then said slowly: "This Wucheng has held a hundred lantern banquets at the Cold Festival every year, and this is a hundred days of winter after the Cold Festival, of course, there must be more than a hundred lamps now, and I heard that this name is because it was very poor in the past, and several villages could only release more than a hundred sky lanterns, but now, it is different! Alas, I was still a little girl at that time, and my whole life has passed in a flash, and I don't know how many days I can live in winter......

As she spoke, the old woman felt a little melancholy, she raised the cane in her hand, pointed to a tall tower to the east, and gestured: "Oh, that's it, the Hundred Lantern Feast is held there, you can go and have a look." ”

"Thank you, mother-in-law!"

The old woman walked away slowly with her cane.

Mu Feibai thought about it after getting the answer, and said to Shuhua: "There is a hundred lantern banquet there, I think, Zhu'an and they must also get the news and will go to see it, we will also go over, we should be able to meet there! It doesn't matter if we don't run into it, let's go and see the excitement." He glanced at Shuhua quickly and then said, "I'd like to hang out with you for a while." ”

Shuhua nodded and responded to his words.

The two men walked side by side towards the tower to the east, and they did not hurry away, and passed by many people who hurried to the white lantern feast.

Groups of lovers, frolicking children, and families came together, all with a sky lantern in their hands, not yet lit, and they all looked the same, as if they had done it themselves, whether they did it well or badly, everyone carefully held it in their hands, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

The closer we got to the tower, the more crowded the crowd became, almost to the point of rubbing shoulders with each other, much more than on the street.

Afraid that he would be separated from Shuhua, and afraid that the crowd would squeeze into Shuhua, Mu Feibai hesitated again and again and handed over the cuffs.

"That...... There are too many people, why don't you take your sleeves?"

Shuhua watched Mu Feibai's cautious movements, and didn't know what to say.

This man is sometimes bold, sometimes he is cringe.

It's stupid.

Shuhua raised her hand, grabbed his sleeve, and took his hand again.

Her hands were very cold, Mu Feibai was excited, her cheeks instantly turned crimson, and fireworks exploded again in her whole mind, and she didn't dare to look up at her.

After a while, he stammered and said, "You, you have to pull it up." ”

"Hmm. ”

Although this hand is cold, he is willing to spend a lifetime warming it.

People came and went, holding sky lanterns, noisily gathered around the tower, looking up at the tower.

There was a small stage on the tower, and the two slender actors danced with their long sleeves and bloomed into a bud, and the babbling lyrics spread far and wide, and the sound was tactful, like the murmuring of spring water.

Mu Feibai pulled Shuhua and watched it for a while, and found that this play was a story about the Hundred Lights Banquet.

It is said that once upon a time, there was a poor scholar whose parents died, living alone, and his family lived in poverty, so he could only often go to the mountains to pick some medicinal herbs and go to the town to exchange some money to subsidize his family.

However, in winter, the mountain is closed due to heavy snowfall, and it is dangerous to enter the mountain again.

There were snowflakes like cotton wool floating in the sky, and the north wind was whistling like crying, but the scholar was so hungry that he decided to go into the mountains.

It's just that he didn't want to die blindly, so after thinking about it, he made a lamp at home and came to the foot of the mountain with the lamp.

He held the lamp and worshiped the local mountain god, and wrote a prayer on the lamp: "Lord Mountain God, if you agree with me to enter the mountain, please send the lamp to a higher place, if you do not agree with me to enter the mountain, please put the lamp down, so that I can retreat!"

After worshipping, the scholar lit the lamp and let it out, and the lamp soon drifted towards the mountains and forests.

The scholar waited anxiously at the foot of the mountain, and after a while, the lamp suddenly came out of the middle of the mountainside and continued to float slowly to the heights.

Seeing this sign, the scholar quickly knelt down and thanked him, so he dared to enter the mountain, but he didn't expect to go to the deep mountains on weekdays to dig up medicinal materials, this time he found it soon after entering the mountain, and there were many of them.

He was overjoyed and quickly knelt down to thank him.

The scholar carried the medicinal herbs he dug up to the town to exchange money, and finally had a full meal, he did not dare to forget that this was a gift from the mountain god, and went to repay the vows with carefully prepared sacrifices.

Later, several times, he would make a lamp and ask before going up the mountain, and there was really a strange phase of the sky lantern sinking, but the scholar kept his promise that when the sky lantern sank, he would never step into the mountain.

In this way, spring is coming, and the heavy snow in the mountains is also melting, and he has gone up the mountain many times, but he has not encountered a single danger, and he has passed a fairly good winter thanks to the care of the mountain god.

In the spring, the scholar wanted to go to the countryside for scientific research, and when he left, he put a lamp on the mountain, saying that he would not come often in the future, and thanked the mountain god for taking care of him.

After I finished writing, I put the lamp, and the lamp floated away and suddenly disappeared.

This had never happened before, and the scholar felt that something was wrong and went to the mountains to investigate.

When he entered the mountain, the scholar heard a woman's mournful cry, like a confession. When I got closer, I saw a beautiful woman holding the sky lantern he had released to hide her face and cry.

When I asked, I realized that it was this fairy who gave him a gesture in the past. I often received his lamp, moved the red dust, and had thoughts, and now that the scholar is leaving, I can't help but cry in my heart.

The scholar was greatly moved when he heard this, and he couldn't bear to live up to the fairy's sincerity, so he made an appointment with the fairy and would come over every month to put the lamp.

In this way, every month passed in a hurry, and the scholar persisted for many months, and if he was not careful, it would be a lifetime, no matter how cold or hot he went, he never stopped.

One after another, it is their interlocking relationship.

Although heaven and man are eternally separated, scholars still rely on a lamp to stay with their loved ones until they grow old.

People were looking intently at the stage, their eyes burning and moving. Mu Feibai was thinking about where to buy a sky lantern now, when he suddenly felt that the arm of Shuhua in his hand moved, he turned his head and looked, and he didn't know where to get out of the weaving dream hugged Shuhua's arm.

"You're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" After Weaving Dream finished speaking, he suddenly found the two of them holding hands, and with a smile, he let go of Shuhua's arm and took two steps back, with a look that I knew, and it was naughty that made people want to rub the top of her hair.

Mu Feibai looked at Shuhua in a panic, worried that Shuhua would feel uncomfortable.

However, Shuhua just looked at Weaving Dream's eyes, nodded, and responded calmly, "Well, here it is." ”

but did not let go of his hand.

Weaving Dream followed by Zhu'an, he held two sky lanterns in his hands, and he also had a look of understanding, he didn't say anything, and handed him one directly.

Even if we know each other, why don't we say more.

Looking at each other and smiling is the best blessing.

The drama on the tower was almost finished, and the scholar on the stage, who had entered his twilight years, lit a sky lantern in his hand with his figure, and sent it to the sky with the fairy beside him, who was always as beautiful as ever.

The first sky lantern floated up to the blue sky leisurely.

It was like a tacit signal to each other, and under its leadership, the people gathered around the tower also began to light up the sky lanterns in their hands, and then released them one after another.

The four of them stood beside each other and lit the sky lanterns in their hands, and the two sky lanterns slowly rose in the wind, and soon merged into the river of sky lanterns, and they couldn't tell the difference.

And there was a molten fire that fell in their eyes, like the stars twinkling.

Everyone looked at the sea of lights in front of them reverently and expectantly, like the best wishes in the world.

A sky lantern flew towards the sky by the wind, and chased the first sky lantern endlessly, converging into a magnificent sea of lights in the sky, which was extinguished and extinguished, like thousands of swimming fish crossing the river, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

I can't count how many sky lanterns are flying together, but I feel that there are only those little lights in the sky and the earth, gentle and delicate.

There are many people who have written their wishes on the sky lanterns, and they can no longer see clearly in the sea of lights that are slowly drifting away in the wind. However, these good wishes, connected with the Milky Way in the sky, converged into a beautiful belt of light between heaven and earth.

The most is the prime of life.

When the golden wind and jade dew meet, there are countless victories in the world.

May heaven and earth be entertained, year after year and night.
