The spring is cold, and the frost kills the young. There was a handsome young man strolling on the streets of Dengzhou, and this young man was Wei Li, who had returned from the dart. It has been nearly a month since the last time I first came to Dengzhou, and things have not changed, but people have different feelings.

I don't know if I feel guilty, but after returning to Xiangzhou, I didn't see Long Qingyun, but was received by his housekeeper. Wei Li waited in Xiangzhou for ten days, but did not see Long Qingyun return, so he had to leave alone.

Today is the time of the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the sky has not completely darkened, and the streets are already full of people, shoulder to shoulder. There are small businessmen pushing all kinds of small carts along the street to sell; there are young scholars who hold folding fans in their hands and show off their knowledge; there are citizens who help the old and the young and gather happily as a family; the most attractive thing is the girl in the boudoir who usually waits for the characters and is worthy of coming out during the Lantern Festival; of course, there are also chivalrous men with swords and swords on the street.

Wei Li wandered on the crowded streets, inexplicably thought of the sentence "think of relatives every festival", and then smiled bitterly, how can he think of his relatives? Infinite loneliness hit his heart in an instant, corresponding to the fireworks on the street began to bloom, and the fireworks and silver flowers never night and night, so lively.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "The East Street Lantern Riddle Festival has begun!" The crowd suddenly began to pour towards East Street, and Wei Li was squeezed into the crowd and went with the flow towards East Street.

The mood was extremely cold, but Wei Li found that there was a hidden dirt under this lively world, and some ruffians and gentlemen were taking advantage of the crowd to attack the girl who had already taken a fancy to her. Those girls didn't dare to make a sound when they were salty, they just wanted to escape quickly, but where could they escape in the crowd?

"Hooligans!" Wei Li suddenly heard a girl's coquettish reprimand beside him, and when he looked up, he saw a girl glaring angrily at a few outstretched ruffians! This girl's eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are like paint, and her skin is like snow. When the girl saw this, tears began to well-up in her eyes.

Wei Li let out a long sigh, his hands were like swimming fish, and the crowd on both sides automatically made way for him. came to the girl's side and said, "Little sister, why did you come here?

The girl was startled at first, and then said in surprise: "Big brother, these hooligans are bullying me!"

Wei Li caught a naughty expression in the girl's eyes, and sighed in his heart: "Woman, you are synonymous with trouble!", even so, he did not hesitate, his feet were left and right, and several ruffians fell to the ground one after another, and then pulled the girl away in the crowd. As for whether these ruffians will be trampled into meatloaf by the crowd after they fall to the ground, it is not something Wei Li can predict.

The width of East Street is about five zhang, and the merchants on both sides of the street hang out all kinds of lanterns, and there are lantern riddles on each lantern.

Wei Li let go of the girl and said, "Girl, it's inconvenient to go out alone, so let's return home as soon as possible!" Such a girl goes to the street alone, in addition to being pleasing to the eye, the biggest effect is to increase the crime rate in the city.

The girl said pitifully: "I have been separated from my father! Brother, you are a good person, help me find my father!"

was issued a good person card for no reason, Wei Li said helplessly: "Looking for someone on such a street is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, or I'll send you home, right?"

The girl immediately became vigilant and said, "My father and mother said that if they got separated, they would go back to Dongdajie." Then he smiled: "I don't know what to call my eldest brother!"

Wei Wei felt a little better, at least this good person card was not so thorough!

The girl smiled: "My name is Xiaomin!"

Wei Li said: "Then let's take a stroll here to see if we can meet your father?"

The girl said happily: "Brother Murong, let's go guess the lantern riddles! There are a lot of lanterns I like here!"

Wei Li frowned, and his heart was bitter: "The little ink in his chest, how can he guess the lantern riddle?" This girl is also suspicious, not at all like a serious woman who has been lost with her family, but like a woman in the rivers and lakes. So he remained silent and followed the girl down the street.

Suddenly, the girl pointed to a rooster-shaped lantern and said to Wei Li: "Brother Murong, I like this lantern, can you help me get it?"

Wei Li raised his eyes and looked over, only to see a rooster lantern hanging in front of a shop selling calligraphy and paintings, and a red paper was pasted on the lantern, with a line of words on it: "I have a room, half of which is rented to the king of the wheel, and sometimes a ray of light is shot, and the evil demons in the world dare not be." This riddle needs to be solved with riddles!"

Wei Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the riddle, which he happened to have seen in his previous life, and smiled at the boss: "Please borrow a pen from the boss, and I will write out the riddle." ”

The boss smiled: "Childe is really smart, he can guess so quickly." As he spoke, he handed Wei Li a brush and a piece of red paper.

Wei Li was quite embarrassed, and then remembered that in this era, he used a brush to write, and his crooked and twisted bad characters were barely recognizable, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to write hard: "I have a boat, one person rocks the oar, one person leads, when I go, I pull the fiber, and when I return, I will return the oar!"

Looking at Xiao Min and the boss's surprised eyes, Wei Li smiled bitterly in return. The boss didn't say anything, put Wei Li's piece of paper near the riddle, and said with a smile: "This riddle rotates every two quarters of an hour, if there is no better riddle within two quarters of an hour, the lantern will be Childe's!"

As soon as the riddle was pasted, there was a lot of discussion next to it: "What an ugly word, the word is like its person, and this riddle is definitely not right!"

Xiao Min lowered his head shyly, Wei Li had a black line, and the ugliness of the word didn't seem to be close to the mystery, right?

"Boss, is it allowed to guess more than one riddle?" a gentle voice sounded behind him, and this voice seemed to contain infinite magic, making people immersed in it as soon as they heard it.

"Miss! I finally saw you! Xiao Min thought she would never see you again!" Xiao Min's voice sounded next to him.

Wei Li turned his head to look and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl standing in the middle of the long street, Xiao Min snuggling up to her like a cat. The girl was described as dignified and elegantly behaved. The most attractive thing is her star-like eyes, which seem to contain the sky and the sea, just by seeing these eyes, people can indulge in tranquility and forget all their troubles.

The girl walked to Wei Li's side, nodded to Wei Li, and then held a pen in her hand and wrote down a line of small letters: "I have a piano, a string hidden in the belly, play it for you immediately, and play all the songs in the world." "The font is elegant and beautiful, throwing out more than a dozen streets away from Wei.

The girl handed the note to the boss and said gently, "Okay?"

The boss was stared at by the girl, and Nuno was speechless, so he took down the lantern and handed it to the girl. The girl nodded to Wei Li again, and then left with Xiao Min with the lantern.

Wei Li watched the girl and Xiao Min disappear into the light, and those starry eyes still flashed in his mind.
