In the 11th year of the Republic of China (1922), August 15 coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a traditional festival in China, also known as the Moon Festival, the Autumn Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the August Festival, the August Meeting, the Moon Chasing Festival, the Moon Playing Festival, the Moon Worship Festival, the Daughter's Day or the Reunion Festival.

Today is a good day, Chen Longting got up early in the morning, feeling refreshed, after he finished practicing, he went to the silver ingot bridge to meet the lotus girl in the air, as for the handkerchief exchange or something, naturally there can be no less. In the afternoon, he returned to the courtyard and took Du Wenhui to Wangfujing Street.

The streets are full of lanterns, and there are lanterns sold at every vendor's stall, because the Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the three major lantern festivals in China, and this festival is to play with lanterns. However, there is no large-scale lantern festival like the Lantern Festival in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and playing with lanterns is mainly carried out between families and children.

So seeing this scene, it is not surprising, Chen Longting looked for a moon cake shop, and saw that the moon cakes with various fillings in the workshop were dazzling, so he called the boss, picked them out, and bought dozens of boxes of moon cakes.

"Young master, you don't need to buy so much, do we?

"Talk!"

Chen Longting also scolded back, and Du Wenhui didn't dare to speak

When Du Wenhui was a coolie, carrying a lot of things in large bags and small bags, he followed closely behind the young master, but after walking for most of the day, seeing that he had not yet arrived at the place, he couldn't help but say:

"Young master, how far is it? I'm almost exhausted. ”

"What's the hurry? It's coming soon!" Chen Longting finished speaking, not long after. A dilapidated school appears ahead.

Seeing this school, a smile appeared on Chen Longting's face. At that moment, he walked over with Du Wenhui and knocked on the door of the school. Soon after, an old man who was a janitor opened the door, and after explaining his intentions, the old man immediately opened the door, ready to let the two of them in, and at the same time said happily:

"Come in, please come in, you are such a kind person, the children here are all orphans, they will be very happy with the mooncakes you have sent. ”

Orphan? Chen Longting was very surprised. No wonder this school is so old, it turned out to be not only a school, but also an orphanage.

At this moment, a clown dressed in green clothes walked out of the classroom, and when she saw Chen Longting outside the gate, she immediately exclaimed:

"It's you again! I didn't tell you, this is a school, not just outsiders coming in and out!"

Hearing her words, Chen Longting smiled bitterly. Just yesterday, when he peeked out of the window, he was actually discovered by the ugly teacher in front of him, which is incredible. He was a martial artist, but he was discovered by a weak woman, and Chen Longting was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into. What a shame!

In the end, he could only say that he walked in by mistake. apologized repeatedly, and then slipped away. As for her ability to find me. It's purely a woman's sixth sense, this kind of thing is difficult to say clearly, and the rumor that a woman is a tiger is absolutely true!

At the moment, Chen Longting didn't say much, after all, it was our fault, so he asked Du Wenhui to put the moon cake box on the ground, and then bent down and said:

"Yesterday, I walked through the wrong door when I was wandering around, I'm very sorry, I bought these mooncakes for the children, which is considered to be an amend. ”

After speaking, Chen Longting immediately said goodbye, leaving only a dashing back for the other party, but Mr. Ugly was stunned, and the old man next to him didn't understand, so he shook his head and said:

"What a nice person, why don't you send moon cakes and leave? ”

Hearing Uncle Sun say this, Ah Chou immediately ran out of the school, and shouted loudly while Chen Longting had not gone far:

"Thank you!"

Hearing the voice behind him, Chen Longting brought a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, although Ah Chou didn't even know his name, but at least she wouldn't think I was a bad person anymore, hehe, who let us do good deeds and never leave a name? haha!

As he was talking, two girls came on the opposite side, and when they saw that the one walking in front was the young lady, and the one behind was the maid, and the maid was also holding a lot of things in her hands, but Chen Longting and Du Wenhui were staring at the young lady.

The girl in front of her looked like a clear spring, pure, innocent, and unforgettable, but what Chen Longting didn't know was that when the other party saw him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and at the same time he couldn't help but speak:

"You're here too?"

Hearing the girl's words, Chen Longting was stunned, what is the situation? The other party knows me? But such a beautiful girl, why don't I have an impression? The young lady in front of him is the most outstanding of all the women he has met since he came to the capital, and she is completely comparable to the lotus girl, of course! The temperament of the two is different.

"You know me?"

After half a ring, Chen Longting said such a sentence.

"I'm sorry, I made my mistake. After the girl said this, she took the maid and walked towards the school.

Chen Longting felt very inexplicable, and then shrugged her shoulders, maybe she really recognized the wrong person, right? But there are still people in this world who look the same as me? Then, he turned to Du Wenhui and said:

"Let's go, let's buy wine!"

After Chen Longting left, the girl took the maid and sighed in her heart:

"Out of the thousands, meet the people you want to meet. In the wilderness of endless time, in the wilderness of thousands of years, there is no earlier step, no later step, and when encountered, I can only say softly: You are also here?"

Not one step earlier, not one step later. The poetic words seemed to express her mood at the moment, and Teacher Ugly was about to return to the school, but when he saw her coming, he immediately shouted:

"Xiaolin, why are you here?"

Hearing the shout, the girl came back to her senses, and when she saw that it was a clown, she immediately ran up, took the other party's hand, and said with a smile:

"Sister Chou, today is August 15, and I'm here to send lanterns to the children. ”

The maid behind her also interjected at this time:

"No, these lanterns are all made by the young lady herself. ”

When Ugly heard this, he opened his mouth and was about to speak, but the quirky girl of Kobayashi. But he preemptively said:

"Don't thank me, they're all homeless kids. I just do what I'm supposed to do. After saying that, Xiao Lin sighed. Because you understand, you are compassionate.

Seeing her say this, Ah Chou could only smile and shake his head, and then the three of them walked into the school, Xiao Lin saw that Old Man Sun was packing up the moon cake box, and immediately asked with a smile:

"Sister Ugly, these mooncakes are for the children, right?"

Ugly nodded, and then said:

"Yes, it was all sent by the man just now. ”

"So it's him?" Kobayashi was stunned. When the ugly on the side saw her say this, he opened his mouth and asked:

"You know him?"

Xiao Lin shook his head, and only said that when he returned to the capital, he had a relationship with him, and said with a smile:

"I know the man best, he came to deliver moon cakes, he must have taken a fancy to Sister Ugly, haha!"

Her words immediately made Ugly blush. At that moment, he stretched out his hand to tickle Xiaolin's itch, and the two of them laughed and made a fuss.

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't know him, I don't even know his name. And how much more so my face"

Seeing that Sister Ugly stopped talking, Xiao Lin began to persuade him, and said straight to the person who really likes you. It doesn't matter what you look like, that guy just now. He looks so handsome, I can see that he is interested in Sister Ugly. It makes me so jealous.

"Jealousy, why don't I introduce him to you next time?"

"Forget it, I can't take the favor of others!" said Kobayashi with a smile.

"You're here again!" Ugly was instantly embarrassed, and the two of them quarreled again.

Soon after, after Xiao Lin knew that the school would be closed next month, he comforted the depressed sister Ugly, and said that I should think of a way, I can't let the academy close like this, let alone let the children be homeless again

Chen Longting and Du Wenhui returned to the courtyard, carrying a few jars of wine, meat, moon cakes, incense candles, etc. Obviously, I was going to get drunk at night, and it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and before it was dark, a bright moon had already appeared.

In the courtyard, Liu Banxian and the ghost shadow had already been waiting, and when they saw that the young master was back, Liu Congyun immediately greeted him and said with a smile:

"Haha! The young master is back, now it's okay, the four of us can have a few pots of drink!"

Chen Longting laughed loudly, pointed to the several jars of spirits in Du Wenhui's hand, and then said:

"How many pots? Hehe, these four jars of wine can't be wasted. ”

When Liu Banxian heard this, his face instantly turned a little blue, and then he thought about it, forget it, if you are drunk, you will be drunk, as long as you drink happily!

Subsequently, Chen Longting began to gather up, moved tables and chairs, set up wine and meat, and put on incense and candles, and the four of them were in the courtyard and began to kneel down to pay tribute to their ancestors, but they saw him take the lead in bending down and kneeling, praying in his heart, hoping that the ancestors would be healthy, and the Chen family would be in good health, and the Chen family would be in good health, so that I, a wanderer outside, could settle down.

Although he said so, there was no shortage of concern in his heart, and after kneeling, the four people under the bright moon began to eat the reunion dinner.

Unveiled the wine jar, each person filled a bowl, Chen Longting picked up the sea bowl, first dry as a respect, and it was stuffy in one bite! The other three were the same, and then the four of them looked at each other and laughed, shouting cool!

The liquor was like a flame, burning from the mouth to the stomach, this feeling was extremely happy, and at this time, the sky was already dark, the moon was high in the sky, and the four of them were eating wine and food, chatting about the world.

Chen Longting was drinking wine, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, and suddenly thought of Wang Zhiyue, and he didn't know if the girl was doing well, and then he thought of Pan Jinyan, and thought of He Xiaoyuan, he found that he had only been away from home for more than a month, as if he had been away for several years, and his longing for his hometown was speechless.

Eating meat and drinking a lot, in this boundless night, he looked at the bright moon, laughed and said:

"It's August 15th, today's moon, it's very round!"

The other three people who were drinking wine, listening to the young master's words, nodded in agreement, under this kind of moonlight, it was particularly refreshing to watch, Chen Longting suddenly asked:

"Liu Banxian, do you know any allusions during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

As soon as these words came out, Du Wenhui immediately preemptively said:

"I know!

Hearing his words, the other three laughed one after another, everyone knows this, and they still need to say it? Spoken:

"The Mid-Autumn Festival is our traditional festival in China. It began in the early years of the Tang Dynasty and prevailed in the Song Dynasty. It has a history of more than 1,000 years today, among which there are many allusions, the most famous are, Chang'e running to the moon, Houyi making cakes, Wu Gang cutting Gui, and even the 'moon cake uprising'. ”

Watching Liu Banxian show off his knowledge and drink spirits, Chen Longting smiled, and immediately asked:

"Wu Gang Fa Gui, what kind of allusion is this?"

When Liu Congyun saw the young master asking, he cleared his throat and spoke:

"Legend has it that Wu Gang's wife had an affair with Emperor Yan's grandson, Boling. Wu Gang killed Boling in a fit of rage, so he angered the sun god Emperor Yan and was sent to the moon to cut down the tree of immortality. ”

Seeing that the three of them were listening quietly, Liu Banxian continued:

"But the laurel tree is cut down as soon as it is chopped, and every time Wu Gang cuts an axe, the branches and leaves cut by the axe will grow back into the tree, and after so long, Wu Gang still has not been able to cut down the laurel tree. ”

Wu Gang's wife felt guilty. Ordered her three sons to turn into toads, rabbits and snakes, and fly to the moon to accompany Wu Gang. In order to help his father cut down the laurel tree as soon as possible, Yutu kept mashing the cut branches and leaves. ”

This is also the reason why Yutu is always pounding medicine later. ”

Chen Longting, Ghost Shadow, and Du Wenhui listened to Liu Banxian's explanation. sighed one after another, this Wu Gang is really sad, he has such a wife. It's really been eight lifetimes of blood mold, but Chen Longting suddenly asked:

"Liu Banxian. Is that tree of immortality really in this world?"

Liu Congyun was stunned. Then he thought about it, and then said:

Legend has it that outside the Moon Palace, when Wu Gang was cutting down the immortal tree, he inadvertently fell on a branch and leaf in Penglai Fairyland, and it took deep roots and sprouted, and it has become the second immortal tree in heaven and earth. ”

The three of them were a little surprised, Du Wenhui burped and said excitedly:

"If you find that tree, won't you be rich?"

When Liu Banxian heard this, he scoffed very much and said that it was superficial!

"If I really find that tree, I'm afraid that it is a living and dead, flesh and bones, and it brings people back to life, all of which are light!"

Bringing the dead back to life? Chen Longting's heart suddenly suddenly, and he suddenly thought of Chen Wanzai, would he go to Penglai Wonderland to find the immortal tree? But then he shook his head again, after all, it is just a legend, and now Liu Banxian said it, it is only counted as a story, so it can't be taken seriously.

Immediately afterwards, the four of them continued to drink, but Du Wenhui tilted his head, raised his hand and pointed to the courtyard wall in front of him, and said:

"Hey, you say, we are next to Prince Rui's mansion, but we have lived for so long, and we have never heard any movement in the palace. ”

Liu Congyun raised his hand and hit him on the head, and then scolded:

"What is Prince Rui's Mansion! It's weird, it's right to call it Prince Su's Mansion instead!"

Hearing the words of the two, Chen Longting looked at the quiet Prince Rui's mansion opposite, the two iron hat kings in front and back, after staying in this palace, have been hanging up in a few years, I am afraid that this mansion, no problem, has become a problem.

The ghost on the side, because he was dumb, couldn't speak, he was holding the sea bowl at this time, and began to toast, the first one was Chen Longting, after the two touched the bowl, they did it all, and the end was very refreshing.

Then, the ghost began to salute the other two again, and after a while, half of the four jars of liquor were already missing, Liu Banxian and Du Wenhui were both drunk and poured on the table, and now Chen Longting and the ghost were still drinking.

Both of them are masters of chemical strength, and when they started drinking, Liu Banxian and Du Wenhui couldn't catch up, so they were still fighting for wine.

It wasn't until the third round of drinking that Chen Longting finally drank the ghost shadow down, but he himself was a little shaky, but he saw him laugh and laughed:

"I'm still good! Everyone is drunk and I'm sober alone!haha!" he said, and a man picked up the sea bowl and continued to drink.

At this moment, under the vast moon, a white shadow floated by, and the drunken Du Wenhui felt that his mouth was dry, so he turned over, looking for tea to drink, and happened to see this scene, he was startled on the spot, and then rubbed his eyes, looked ahead again, and found that there was nothing, so he thought he was drunk, but then, he saw a woman in white clothes, appearing behind Chen Longting.

The woman's face was pale, her long hair was shawl, and she was a female ghost!

On the spot, Du Wenhui's face changed wildly! He raised his hand and pointed to the back of Chen Longting:

"There are ghosts, there are ghosts!"

"What did you say?" asked Chen Longting, who belched and opened his mouth.

See the young master. didn't understand the meaning, Du Wenhui slapped Liu Congyun next to him to wake up. Pointing to the back of Chen Longting, there was a ghost in a hurry! And Liu Congyun was woken up by him. But he scolded:

"What the hell is not a ghost! With the Taoist here, how can there be a cow ghost and evil god coming?"

But following Du Wenhui's fingers to see ahead, after discovering the female ghost in white, his eyes widened in fright, and seeing the two of them behave, Chen Longting would be a fool if he didn't understand.

The energy worked quickly in his physical strength, dissolving some of the strength of the wine, and then he turned his head to find that there was nothing behind him. Then he looked back at the two of them and scolded:

"You two dare to play this young master?"

Seeing that when the young master turned his head, the female ghost suddenly disappeared, Du Wenhui and Liu Congyun raised their hands and swore that they had indeed seen the female ghost just now, Chen Longting didn't believe it, and secretly said that these two people were drunk and teamed up to deceive me, are you so interesting?

As he spoke, the female ghost behind him. Reappeared, Du Wenhui and Liu Congyun were shocked again, and at the same time raised their hands to the back of Chen Longting, and exclaimed loudly:

"Ghost !!"

Chen Longting was taken aback. There was some drumming in my heart, and I looked back again to find that I still didn't see anything. His face darkened at the moment, and he scolded:

"I don't even see anything! Do you dare to lie to me a second time?

Seeing that the young master was about to get angry, Du Wenhui immediately poured the kettle on the table on the ghost's face. made the other party wake up, Liu Congyun took out a bell and pinched a piece of rune paper in one hand, obviously preparing for the practice.

After the ghost woke up, he was very angry, and when he was about to give Du Wenhui a fist, a white hand appeared on Chen Longting's shoulder, and the eyes of the three of them suddenly focused on the young master's body.

Seeing the expressions of the three of them, Chen Longting's scalp exploded, and he felt a hand on his shoulder! But then he put his mind at ease, and then raised his hand and punched it, and shouted at the same time:

"Ahh!!h

The female ghost squatted down in an instant and dodged the punch. At the same time, Liu Congyun and Du Wenhui, until this moment, the two of them understood that the female ghost before did not disappear, but squatted, because she was blocked by the young master, and this was regarded as disappearing by the two of them.

If that's the case, this female ghost is a human pretend!

The female ghost who dodged Chen Longting's punch turned around and fled in fright, but Chen Longting dodged and caught up with the other party, blocked it, and then glanced at Liu Banxian, who immediately understood, and then took the rune paper and pretended to shout loudly:

"Poof! What a demon! Look at the Taoist master, I accepted you!"

When the female ghost heard this, she was even more frightened, and immediately bypassed Chen Longting and fled towards the courtyard wall, Chen Longting reached out and grabbed the female ghost's arm, and then laughed loudly:

"What's the matter, you ghost, are you still afraid of people?"

The female ghost who was caught by Chen Longting bit the back of the other party's hand in the next bite, Chen Longting's hand hurt, and he had to let go, in fact, he could completely shake it open with his strength, but this would shake out the female ghost's teeth. He shook his aching hand, and then scolded:

"You Nizi, a dog?"

The female ghost who was running away heard this, but suddenly stopped, looked back at Chen Longting, and scolded loudly:

"I'm a dog! How do you know I'm not a ghost?"

"Haha! This question is actually very simple, because your hands are warm!" After Chen Longting finished speaking, a dodge came to the woman's side, grabbed her waist, and then resisted on the shoulder, and then laughed loudly:

"I'll report to the police tomorrow! Trespass into people's houses and pretend to be female ghosts! Tsk! This crime is a big one!"

"Let me down! Don't hear me! Let me down!" The woman in white shouted loudly, kicking her legs wildly, but Chen Longting ignored it, and the woman had to open her mouth and bite Chen Longting a few times.

Fortunately, Chen Longting found out early, and immediately threw it out, then shook his head and said:

"You're really a dog!"

The woman fell to the ground, the white flour on her face, the brush fell, revealing a fair face, it turned out to be a pretty face, and then she got up very aggrieved, from childhood to adulthood, no one dared to do this to herself, and immediately raised her hand and pointed at Chen Longting, and scolded loudly:

"Do you know who I am?"

"Who is it? Tell me, you shouldn't be Xia Yuhe on the shore of Daming Lake, right?" asked Chen Longting with a smile.

"Xia Yuhe?"

The woman felt inexplicable, then shook her head, crossed her hands on her hips and said loudly:

"I'm Gege!"

The four of them were shocked, and Chen Longting was also stunned, could it be that she was really a female ghost?

"Gege of that dynasty?"

When the woman heard this, she almost couldn't help but rush up and strangle Chen Longting, but then she still spoke:

"I'm Gege of the Qing Dynasty! Prince Su's Mansion is my home! You still don't kneel?"

As soon as these words came out, the ghost bent his knees on the spot and knelt on the ground, and then Liu Congyun also knelt down together, Du Wenhui saw the two of them kneeling, and he also knelt down, and then Liu Congyun took the lead and shouted:

"Gege auspicious!"

Chen Longting was instantly stunned! This scene in front of him, Nima, was it a movie? The female ghost turned out to be Gege? Are you kidding me? Obviously, Chen Longting is going crazy!
