Chapter 28 Lantern Festival
When night falls, the whole Sunset Town is lit up, with countless lanterns hanging around the streets, illuminating the whole town as if it were day.
On the street, juggling, guessing lantern riddles, buying wishing lanterns, singing, and selling goods complement each other, and the voices of people are boiling, and it seems to be very lively.
Earlier, Shen Chaixing parted ways with Chen Wu under the pretext that something was wrong, and Chen Wu didn't have to think about it, Chen Wu also knew that Shen Chaixing must have gone to do his old job.
After returning to the town, Chen Wu found that many disciples of Shenjian Valley had also appeared in the streets, thinking that they had also come to participate in the Lantern Festival.
At the time of parting, Chen Wu also reminded Shen Chaixing that when he met those people wearing swords and blue robes, don't do it, don't do it when the time comes, the things are not borrowed, but they take their own lives.
Walking on the street, looking at the smiling people around him, Chen Wu couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
In the distance, Chen Wu saw two familiar figures in the crowd.
Not far away, Mu Qingqing was pulling the corner of Lu Jiu's clothes and standing in front of a stall selling rock sugar gourds.
"Senior brother, people are going to eat rock sugar gourds, you can buy them for me!" Mu Qingqing pouted, looking at the string of shiny red rock sugar gourds, like a child begging for snacks.
"Okay, okay! Buy it for you!" Lu Jiu was helpless, so he had to pay the bill obediently, but he looked at Mu Qingqing, who jumped up happily after getting a rock sugar gourd and eating one, and couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
"Well, it's delicious, sour and sweet!" Mu Qingqing bit down on one again, put it in his mouth, and asked Lu Jiu vaguely: "Senior brother, do you want to eat one too, it's delicious!"
"Forget it, I won't eat it!" Lu Jiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hey, isn't that Senior Brother Chen Wu, he's also here?"
"Ahh
"Hmph, this guy, I really don't have the eyesight to see, don't you see the two-person world between me and my senior brother!" Although Mu Qingqing was annoyed in her heart, she still followed Lu Jiu and walked forward and came to Chen Wu's side.
"Senior Brother Lu, Senior Sister Mu!" Chen Wu waved at the two of them and said.
"You're also here to participate in this light festival?" Lu Jiu asked.
"No, originally I came to help Shizun buy wine, but the shopkeeper told me that there was a lantern festival tonight, so I stayed for a while!" Chen Wu looked at Lu Jiu, then at Mu Qingqing, and continued: "Senior brother, I didn't bother you!"
When Lu Jiu heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Where is it, there are many people, let's go over together." ”
After that, regardless of Mu Qingqing's reaction, he directly took the two of them and walked towards the place where the lantern festival was held.
"Two hairs on his head, wearing a cheongsam, he doesn't work all day long, he just knows how to be happy!" Mu Qingqing looked at the riddle on a lantern, frowned, turned to Lu Jiu and asked, "What is this, an animal, what kind of animal!"
"Ah, this!?" Lu Jiu looked at the riddle, and he was also confused, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Butterfly!" Chen Wu looked at the two people who didn't know why with a surprised expression, and directly said the answer.
"That's right, butterfly!" Mu Qingqing frowned, clapped his hands and said.
"The two hairs are their tentacles, and the colorful clothes on their bodies are cheongsams, and they don't collect honey like bees to make honey, they are butterflies, they must be butterflies!" Mu Qingqing suddenly realized.
"This little brother is very smart! he guessed it so quickly!" The old man who placed the lantern riddle took out a small red envelope, handed it to Mu Qingqing, and said, "Come, little girl, this is a prize!"
"And there are prizes!" Mu Qingqing said in surprise, and hurriedly took the little red envelope and said to the old man: "Thank you, old man!"
After that, Mu Qingqing couldn't wait to open the little red envelope, but it was a sugar man.
"It's the sugar man!" Mu Qingqing was so happy that she took the sugar man in her hand, and after licking it, her eyes immediately lit up, and she said, "It's so sweet!"
After that, Mu Qingqing was eating the candy man, pulling Lu Jiu with one hand, leading Chen Wu, and kept walking forward, cracking a riddle with a lantern riddle and taking a small red envelope with one.
In the end, Mu Qingqing's hands were full of prizes, and even Lu Jiu and Chen Wu took a lot of them in their hands.
Lu Jiu also reminded Mu Qingqing, saying that these should be put in the storage bag, but Mu Qingqing said that he couldn't see it when he put it in the storage bag, so he was satisfied with holding it in his hand.
Just when Chen Wu and the three of them were lingering in the lantern riddle stall, suddenly, Chen Wu's shoulder was patted, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Shen Chasing Xing.
"Hey, Chen Wu, look, how about this piece of jade!" Shen Chaixing shook a piece of jade pendant in front of Chen Wu's eyes, showing off.
"Huh!" The jade pendant in Shen Chaixing's hand, Chen Wu looked really familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he said, "Take it and I'll take a look!"
"Wow!" Shen Chaixing handed the jade pendant to Chen Wu's hand, with a smug expression.
"This is?" Chen Wu looked at the jade pendant in his hand, he was very sure that he had seen it before, but he really didn't know where he had seen it.
"Hey, isn't this the jade pendant of Senior Brother Su?" Xu found that Chen Wu didn't follow, Mu Qingqing turned around and happened to see the jade pendant in Chen Wu's hand.
"By the way, this is Su Xingbai's jade pendant, don't put it on his waist all the time. When Mu Qingqing said this, Chen Wu immediately recalled.
Shen Chaixing's courage is really big, Su Xingbai's cultivation is said to have reached the Cloud Breaking Realm, but Chen Wu is a little puzzled, with Su Xingbai's cultivation, with Shen Chaixing's means, how did he steal this piece of jade pendant?
"Hey, that dwarf, you say, Senior Brother Su's jade pendant, why is it in your hands?" Mu Qingqing glared at Shen Chaixing and asked.
As soon as he saw Chen Wu's expression, Shen Chaixing immediately knew that it was not good, he had already known that Chen Wu had joined Shenjian Valley, and the woman in front of him was also a person from Shenjian Valley, and this woman was called Senior Brother, and she must also be a monk.
"It's a mess!" Shen Chaixing's mind turned, and he hurriedly lied: "This senior sister, it's like this, I was walking before, and suddenly I saw something shining under my feet, so I picked it up, which is this jade pendant!"
"Picked it up?" Mu Qingqing said undeniably, seeing that Lu Jiu shook his head, he no longer delved into how this jade pendant came from, so he said: "Since Senior Brother Su's jade pendant is here, then Senior Brother Su must also be here, let's go, let's go find Senior Brother Su!"
After speaking, he pulled Lu Jiu, took the jade pendant from Chen Wu's hand, and walked to the rear.
"You!" Watching Mu Qingqing and the two leave, Chen Wu said to Shen Chaixing: "Didn't you tell you everything, you still do it!"
"It's not that I couldn't hold back, who knew it would be so easy!" Shen Chaixing had a bitter face and asked, "Can I not go?"
"No!" Chen Wu patted Shen Chaixing on the shoulder, then pulled him and followed: "Senior Brother Su Xingbai is very good, he won't do anything to you!"
"If you say that people are very good, they are very good, if people want to do something to me for a while, how can I be their opponent if I am a mortal!" Shen Chaixing was bitter in his heart, but he was all in light skills, and he was pulled by Chen Wu at this time, so he couldn't break free, so he had to follow obediently behind him.
Soon, the four of them found Su Xingbai by a river where wishing lanterns were placed.
"Senior Brother Su!" As soon as he saw Su Xingbai, Mu Qingqing immediately let go of Lu Jiu's hand, jumped and ran over, and said, "Look, what is this!"
"It's a little junior sister!" Su Xingbai turned around, touched his waist with his hand, the place where he was originally wearing the jade pendant was empty, 'looked' at Mu Qingqing, and said, "Hey, isn't this my jade pendant, why is it in your place!"
"Oh, senior brother, your jade pendant has just been picked up by that dwarf!" Mu Qingqing pointed to Shen Chaixing with a bitter face and said with a smile.
"Oh~" Su Xingbai smiled meaningfully, took the jade pendant from Mu Qingqing's hand, put it on his waist again, came to Shen Chaixing, and bowed: "Thank you for this little brother!"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Shen Chaixing hurriedly returned the salute.
Seeing that Su Xingbai did not pursue it, Chen Wu also immediately stood up, deliberately opened the topic, and said: "Fireworks are about to be released, let's go, let's find a better place and enjoy it together!"
"Good!"
"Yes!"
"Hmm!"
"Let's go, watch the fireworks!"
The rest of the others were immediately attracted by the fireworks and agreed.
Outside Sunset Town, on the pagoda where Chen Wu and Shen Chaixing had finished their light skills, this pagoda was 100 meters high, just overlooking the entire Sunset Town, which can be described as a perfect place to watch fireworks.
"Moment ~ pound ~ moment ~ burst ~"
Just when Chen Wu and the others arrived at this pagoda, not far away, in the sunset town, countless fireworks suddenly rose.
In an instant, fireworks burst out, and countless colorful light clusters burst out in the air, instantly lighting up the entire sky.
"It's beautiful!"
Looking at the beautiful scenery in the sky, Mu Qingqing couldn't help but admire.
"Yes, this is the first time I've seen such beautiful fireworks!" Lu Jiu also nodded, took out a wine jug from the storage bag, raised his head and took a sip, and threw it to Su Xingbai.
Su Xingbai took the wine jug, raised his head and took a sip, and then threw the wine jug to Chen Wu before smiling: "Although I can't see it, I can imagine that those fireworks, after they bloom, must be very beautiful!"
"Well, it's really beautiful!" Chen Wu also agreed, took the wine jug, took a sip, and threw it to Shen Chaixing.
Shen Chaixing took the wine jug, but he didn't immediately drink the wine in the jug, looked at Su Xingbai, and then looked at Chen Wu, before he raised the wine jug, raised his head and poured a sip, and said: "Chen Wu, we haven't drunk like this for a long time, just now, thank you!"
"Huh!" Chen Wu immediately waved his hand and said, "Drink, drink!"
"Okay, drink!" Shen Chaixing was also interested, and no longer mentioned what happened just now, and passed the wine jug back to Lu Jiu, and said.
