Anxing Town is at the foot of Shenxiao Mountain, many of the teenagers in the town are practitioners, and most of the young men who do farm work are also three or five thick, and they have great strength, Xiang Shaoying was caught in the crowd, was bumped around, pushed and rubbed, and was squeezed out several times.

This tower, built with a wooden frame, up to more than 20 zhang, the flow of people surges, pushing and kneading, many people climb this tower, pushed down by the crowd, trampled down, although there is a straw stack at the bottom of the tower, fall down from such a high place, there is still some pain, but this did not stop the enthusiasm of the young and enthusiastic young men to grab the lanterns, fell down, and climbed up with a lot of energy, the screams and the cheers of the surrounding spectators, connected together.

A person next to him quickly crossed Xiang Shaoying, stepped on his hand, fortunately, he had recently practiced carrying water, and he had thick skin and thick flesh, otherwise he would have been in pain, seeing that the person was about to step on the top of his head again, Xiang Shaoying's head was biased, and the person stepped on the air, "oops", fell down, and when he fell, he didn't forget to pull a person casually, Xiang Shaoying flashed, and the person pulled a big man next to Xiang Shaoying, and both of them fell.

Xiang Shaoying climbed up, while dodging left and right to avoid the trampling of the people next to him, the more he climbed up, the fewer people there were, Xiang Shaoying quickly passed the two or three people beside him, far ahead.

Bai Ling watched Xiang Shaoying take the lead below, a flower bloomed in his eyes, and shouted at Xiang Shaoying: "Shaoying, good job, hurry up, hurry up, I want the best lantern." ”

The sons and daughters of Anxing Town are grabbing the lanterns, and there are a lot of ladies around the lighthouse, and the women are watching their beloved men grab the lanterns for themselves, although they want to cheer for him loudly, but for the sake of face, they just clap their hands in a low voice, how can they shout and cheer loudly like Bai Ling.

Bai Ling is a child of the rivers and lakes, she is informal, and the women around her look at her with envy, you must know that they also want to cheer loudly for their beloved man like this.

Being watched by a group of women, Bai Ling was a little embarrassed, and suddenly felt a gaze, she turned her head slightly, but saw that it was a masked woman in green, she couldn't see her face clearly, she just showed her eyebrows and sideburns, and her eyes flowed, it should be a beautiful billet, but she didn't look at Bai Ling, just looked at the person who was climbing the lighthouse to grab the lantern.

The woman in green looked at it for a while, as if she felt bored, turned around and drowned in the crowd.

Bai Ling didn't pay much attention to it, turned his head and continued to look at Xiang Shaoying.

Xiang Shaoying had already climbed to the top of the tower at this time, took the lantern in the middle, turned his head, and looked at Bai Ling below, Bai Ling saw that he took the lantern, and shouted excitedly, and the mayor stood up and spoke at this time: "Okay, now our first lantern has been snatched by a heroic young man, and the next people have to work harder!"

One after another, some people climbed to the top of the tower and grabbed their favorite lanterns.

The mayor smiled and said loudly: "The people who grabbed the lanterns will be able to do well this year, and the sons and daughters who didn't grab the lanterns, don't be discouraged, your courage is commendable, next year's Qixi Festival, come and show your skills again!"

Bai Ling took the lantern handed over by Xiang Shaoying, his eyes were full of smiles, and the mayor stepped forward and said: "Young man, today you grabbed this lantern king, you are really heroic, the old man gave you a flowing cloud pendant, flowing cloud pendant with this cloud lotus lantern, to ensure that you will be green in the future, and the future is bright." ”

The flowing cloud pendant is actually an ordinary pendant woven into the shape of a flowing cloud with a silk ribbon, although it is not valuable, but it is the most simple heart of the simple people in the town.

"Thank you, Mayor. Xiang Shaoying took the cloud pendant and pinned it to the lantern.

The mayor pulled Xiang Shaoying over and smiled teasingly: "Young man, this girl is good, I think she has been cheering for you, you have to work hard, it must be a beautiful marriage." ”

Xiang Shaoying was stunned for a moment, and blushed, but couldn't say a word.

Bai Ling fiddled with the lanterns, she had deep internal strength, and when she heard these words, she immediately blushed, calmed down, and said, "Mayor Town, you misunderstood us. ”

Xiang Shaoying also came back to his senses, hurriedly waved his hand, and said anxiously: "Ah! Yes, yes, Mayor Town, you misunderstood us!

The mayor smiled knowingly and said, "I understand, I understand! Young man, chasing other girls, it's not okay to be thin-skinned." ”

What understands, he is completely misinterpreted.

"Mayor Mare, it's really not what you think, huh...... She's just my sister......"

"Huh?" the mayor looked confused.

"He's my brother. Bai Ling said.

"Huh?" The mayor was stunned, one said that the other party was his junior sister, and the other said that the other party was his younger brother, which made him confused. "Girl, you're younger than this boy, aren't you?

Bai Ling nodded and said, "He is really my younger brother." ”

Xiang Shaoying was stunned when he watched from the side.

"Hehe, it turned out to be a brother and sister. The mayor touched the back of his head in embarrassment, smiled, and said, "It's the old man who is clumsy, but since you have grabbed the lantern, you will definitely be lucky for a few years." They each found a beautiful marriage. ”

The mayor watched Xiang Shaoying and Bai Ling go away, and thought for a while, if it is a sister and brother, Qixi is a man who grabs the lantern for his beloved woman, and the younger brother grabs the lantern for his sister, as if there is no ...... A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head, let them go about the affairs of the young people.

The lantern grabbing conference is over, and it is getting late and late, and the vendors on the road have withdrawn their stalls, and the pedestrians are sparse.

Bai Ling and Xiang Shaoying walked one after the other, Bai Ling didn't speak, Xiang Shaoying didn't dare to speak, he was misunderstood by the mayor just now, at this time he didn't know what it was like, he didn't know whether to say it was sweet or sad.

Bai Ling, who was walking in front, suddenly paused, stopped and said, "It's getting late, it seems that we can't go back to the mountain today, let's find an inn to stay in, and go back tomorrow when it's dawn." ”

"Good. Xiang Shaoying nodded and said.

Anxing Town is just a small town, there are not many inns in the town, and because of the Chinese Valentine's Day, the inns in the town are already full, and I have found several, but there are no rooms.

"This is the last inn in Anxing Town, and if there are no more rooms, we will have to sleep on the streets tonight. Bai Ling said to himself.

Luckily, there are rooms in this inn, but unfortunately, there is only one room.

"Haha, I know you, you are the one who robbed the lantern king today!" Xiao Er said with a smile.

When grabbing the lanterns, tens of thousands of people in the town were empty, and it was extremely lively, and when Xiang Shaoying grabbed the lanterns, he was also seen by the people in the town.

Xiao Er was enthusiastic, "Guest officer, do you know it, Anxing Town is very lively today, the inns are full, our shopkeeper has spoken, leave a room for you, if you come, it will be given to you, you don't know, there are several people in front, want to live in, I see that you didn't come so late, I thought you stayed in other inns, I didn't expect you to really come!"

"Huh. Xiang Shaoying smiled embarrassedly.

"It turned out to be your light. Bai Ling glanced at him with a smile.

"There is only one room, the two of us ......" Xiang Shaoying touched the back of his head in annoyance.

"It's better to have one room than to live on the streets. Bai Ling said.

Xiao Er led Bai Ling and Xiang Shaoying to the room, Xiang Shaoying followed behind Bai Ling, worried in his heart, wait, does he sleep on the bed or on the floor? or sleep on the floor......
