Unlike previous years' Midyear Festival, this year's market has fewer people coming and going. In the rivers of the water town, there are no boatmen and river lanterns.

In fact, many times, the news of the people in the market comes faster and more accurately than the people in the rivers and lakes. So even if they don't know what Sunless City is, they will know that it is not appropriate to go out on this day and should hide.

But there are still a lot of people on the street.

Whether it is the lack of river lights, the lack of boats, or the lack of the lively atmosphere of previous years, there will always be no shortage of people.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Where there are rivers and lakes, people will come.

If the people who come either want to "enter the city" or "attack the city", there will always be no one who wants to come for the festival.

In addition to the newcomers who are ready to join the city, the people who "enter the city" are the old people who come to receive the bounty and dividends. The people who "besieged the city" were not only newcomers who had just entered the rivers and lakes, but also some well-known old people.

The strange thing is that no matter whether it is entering the city, attacking the city, newcomers, old people, most of the people who come here have the same purpose. Not for money, but for profit.

Putting Shen Qiye in the middle of this group of people should have looked very different. Because he is neither a killer, nor is he here for money.

But now, it doesn't seem to be any different. In an instant, he had made himself look like a man who had come for money. Sometimes, he can even trick himself.

He needs to disguise, and the three people in his company need to disguise, at least pretending to be the ones who have really come to surrender.

The night was as cold as water, and the sky was so dark that there was no light. Everything seems to be still at this moment, and even the wind and water are too lazy to move any more.

And who will be the first to endure this dead silence?

Liu Sanqing is waiting, he has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has already become an old fox, and he will be impetuous after all, as long as anyone can't hold it first, he can take the lead.

He waited for the movement as scheduled, but it was not people who moved, but the river lantern.

The lamp is not in the water, the water has long been quiet, how can the lamp move?

The lamp is in the sky, but there is no wind in the sky, how does this river lamp move, how does it fly?

No one wants to believe that the river lantern can fly, but no one can disbelieve it. The candle-lit river lantern floated from afar, gradually more than the stars, more than the fine sand, until it covered the whole night sky.

The stars and rain gather in the sky, and the night sky is like daylight.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help laughing, he saw that the faces of these people in the rivers and lakes were covered with cold sweat, and some were even trembling. But he soon ignores them, and discovers a more interesting question: why does the lantern fly?

"Blind boy, do you know that this river lantern is flying in the sky now? Unfortunately, you have bad eyes and can't see this spectacular scene, why don't you try it with a free needle?" Xiao Xiao patted Shen Qiye's shoulder hard, and quipped without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qiye put Xiao Xiao's hand back on his own shoulder, and he was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao's free needle is hard to find in the world, how can it be used in such a boring place?"

"Boring?hahaha, you say this kind of strange thing is boring?" Xiao Xiao smiled and bent down, only saying that he couldn't eat grapes.

"I not only know that the river lantern is in the sky, but also know why it can fly, if one thing is completely known, wouldn't it be very boring?" Shen Qiye said.

"You know?" Xiao Xiao asked with a stop smiling.

"I know. Shen Qiye replied.

"Then why don't you say it yet?" Xiao Xiao urged, a little impatiently.

Shen Qiye smiled again and said, "If I tell you, you will inevitably become boring." How could a person like me who values love and righteousness be willing to make my friends boring? So even if I want to say it again, I will definitely hold back. ”

Xiao Xiao didn't know whether to cry or laugh on his face, but Murong You on the side laughed twice when he saw this, and even Bai Ling secretly bit her lip.

"Nengbo iceberg beauty smiled, and Brother Xiao's anger was not in vain. Shen Qiye also smiled.

Xiao Xiao laughed angrily and said, "You don't hesitate to make up a lie to anger me for Miss Bobai's laughter, it really values love and righteousness." ”

Shen Qiye shook his head and ignored it anymore, wanting to continue to listen to the sound of wings fluttering at the top of the river lantern.

However, the sound of horses' hooves not far away still disturbed him and disturbed everyone present.

The sound of hooves was so unusual, dull and powerful that one could hear the horse's tiredness. Rao is a person like Boss Xiao who has seen the world, and when he saw this group of horses, he couldn't help but be surprised.

In front of him was a long line of horses, so long that there was no end in sight. However, the most in the team was not the horses, but the thing that each horse carried on its shoulders - gold. Every horse here was overwhelmed by the two large chests of gold on his body, but the groom still whipped the horse's back with his whip, as if his anger was greater than that of the horse.

Xiao Xiao couldn't think of how much gold it would take to crush the horses, but he soon had no time to think about it, or he didn't bother to think about it.

He had discovered that gold was the cheapest thing on horseback, and that the horses that came after him were far more expensive than gold. From the jewels and jade of the Imperial Palace to the red coral fished out of the East China Sea, these things are much more expensive than gold.

If Xiao Xiao was surprised until now, then he would have become a nerd in the next moment.

Isn't the Spring Festival worth a thousand gold, but what about the box of Spring Festival?

The boxes at the back of the horse team were filled with women, women with jade bodies. Among these women, there are not only the Oirans in the major willow alleys in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the daughters of several official or business families, and even Murong You can call their names.

Beauty nights can be fried to sky-high prices, or even priceless, just like these big ladies, no matter how rich they are, they can't sleep. But now they are lying there quietly, not much different from the wind and dust women, and the few remaining pieces of clothing on their bodies seem to cover their shame, but in fact they are not teasing at all.

Shen Qiye figured out the river lantern hanging by the crows, but he couldn't figure out how Sunless City could sit on this wealth, and he didn't have time to think about it anymore, because the horse team had finished walking, and there was a door to close.

Since the city of the sun is called a city, there is every reason why there is a city gate, but this gate has no reason at all.

Liu Sanqing and the others stared at the "door" that appeared out of thin air, and the two leaves of the "door" were closing in a strange posture to the center, just like the real city gate. The "door" seemed to be as wide as the whole street, and when it was closed, there was no connection between the inside and outside of the door.

"Let's go. Xiao Xiao shouted, he guessed that "entering the city" might start from this moment, and rushed in with Murong You first.

Bai Ling tapped the stone slab on the street on tiptoe and followed. Liu Sanqing came back to his senses and wanted to catch Shen Qiye, but found that Shen Qiye in front of him was gone.

"Miss Ling'er, why don't you remind me that the gate of this sunless city is about to close, what if I can't get in?" Shen Qiye laughed while performing light skills.

"If you really can't get in, where do you have the leisure to catch up with me to take advantage after Xiao Xiao finished speaking?" Bai Ling said coldly.

Shen Qiye found out that when he followed the sound to catch up with Bai Ling, he unconsciously hugged her in the air, and immediately laughed twice and let go of his hand.

But as soon as this hand is loosened, where does Bai Ling still have a center of gravity?

Shen Qiye was startled, and reached out to grab it again, but this grasp must have been more urgent, and Bai Ling's whole person had already crashed into Shen Qiye's arms. When the two of them landed in embarrassment, they probably entered the city, impartially, and the "door" was closed at this time.

Liu San wanted to go forward to chase after him, but he was suddenly blocked by this "city gate" and couldn't take a step forward.
