Chapter 36: Lantern Festival

Views:

The two walked a few more steps and stood at the top of the arch bridge. The scenery seen at the heights is different. Looking back and forth, all you see is the moving figures under the bright lanterns.

The river under the bridge twists and turns for a long time. There are some houses near the river. There are red lanterns hanging at the back door of each house.

Two painting boats slowly approached on the river in the distance, the incense curtains fluttered gently, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and there were extremely beautiful long strings of lanterns hanging from the corners of the eaves on all sides. In the painting boat, the lights are brilliant, the people are crowded, and it is bustling and lively.

There were gradually more young men and women on the shallow embankments on both sides of the river. Approaching the river, squat down to make a wish, put the lotus lantern on the water and push it gently, watching your lantern drift away with the wish that you want to say goodbye.

For a time, the dark river surface was decorated with lanterns like the starry sky under the night, dazzling and dazzling.

Bai Li was unusually quiet, looking at the bustling pieces under the bridge, he couldn't help but look up at the night sky. There are stars on the ground, but not in the sky, but there is a bright moon in the sky, bright and round, reflecting his heart.

Ah Qing was by his side, and God never let him down.

You Qing looked at his quiet profile and flowing eyes, couldn't help clenching his hands, his eyes wandered inch by inch on his face, as if there was nothing to see around him, and the only ones who could penetrate the eyes were the ones around him. this person.

After the Lantern Festival, all the hustle and bustle here will come to an end. The prosperity of the world is just like this.

No matter whether it is quiet or lively, time can’t be kept, as long as there is such a person to accompany you, there is nothing else to ask for in this life.

Bai Li felt his sight, turned to look at him, the corners of his eyes were crystal clear, and his words choked: "Aqing, I am so happy to be with you!"

You Qing felt a dull pain in his heart, raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, feeling that he was guilty: "What a fool..."

Some people who came and went noticed their actions and looked at them curiously, but they couldn't tell whether Bai Li was a man or a woman. She lost some of the feminine femininity, and in the end, because she was in a hurry to see the Dragon Dance Lantern, she just hurriedly glanced at it and walked forward. After all, it is an irrelevant passerby.

The continuous flow of people on the bridge has become a moving scene. Instead, these two quietly stand at the bridge head and become the eye-catching and beautiful protagonists on the stage.

There are two people on weekdays, and Bai Li's mood can't make big waves. If You Qing is nice to him, he will be happy. If You Qing teases him deliberately, he will pretend to be angry. Every frown and smile is because of his gestures.

At this time, in such a lively and noisy atmosphere, Bai Li suddenly realized that everyone had emotions and sorrows, and they told their thoughts in a small lantern.

Human life is only a few decades, and he, since he can remember, has lived for thousands of years. He spent thousands of years silently accompanying You Qing, and now he finally got what he wanted.

You Qing wiped his tears for him, but instead made him cry more and more fiercely, as if he couldn't finish wiping it no matter what, feeling anxious and painful in his heart, he raised his hands to hold his face to wipe him, and said softly, "Fool, hurry up. do not Cry."

Bai Li sniffed and looked at him without blinking, but because the water vapor clouded his eyes, he couldn't see the real thing, so he kept blinking: "I'm just happy..."

You Qing sighed in his heart: How can happiness be so simple? How can the grievances of these millennia be expressed with two tears

Bai Li was indeed wronged, but his mind was simple, and the happiness in his heart outweighed the grievance, so he thought it was pure happiness. It took thousands of years to get a person's pity, how can there be no reason to feel wronged

He didn't cry so recklessly before, because no matter how hard he was, there was nowhere to complain, but now You Qing finally likes him, loves him, and can accommodate everything he has. floods, out of control. He cares about You Qing, and he will be wronged, and now You Qing cares about him, so he can vent his grievances.

After all, the word "grievance" is actually a luxury and cannot be easily told.

You Qing made him cry so hard, and hugged him in his arms. Regardless of the crowds coming and going, he patted his back and comforted him softly, but he didn't stop him, just hoped that he could cry happily in his heart. .

Bai Li whimpered and said nothing but happiness. He was tired from crying and finally stopped. He raised his red and swollen eyes and looked at him with a sullen expression: "Ah Qing, will you secretly laugh at me?"

You Qing felt distressed for a while, but was made him want to laugh because of his appearance, sighed and rubbed his face, and whispered: "I will take care of everything in the future, cry if you want, laugh if you want to laugh. , don't hold your mind in your heart, you know?"

Bai Li burst into tears and laughed: "What's one thing you don't put in your heart?"

You Qing has long been used to his emotions that come and go quickly, and when he sees him smiling, he knows that he is really happy, so he can't help but feel relieved, and smiles: "You fool even know how to think, but you really want to be impressed. already."

"I'm stupid again..." Bai Li took his hand and laughed again, "You know what's on my mind!"

"Well, I'm stupid this time. I know I'm asking." You Qing clenched his hand in his sleeve and said softly, "Are you crying and hungry? I'll take you to eat roast chicken."

Bai Li's eyes lit up instantly, and he shouted excitedly, "I'm starving to death!"

On the street not far away, Xue Changjing stood for a long time, not wearing luxurious clothes, only wearing a light-colored long gown, which made him look like jade, but his expression was sad, causing the crowd behind him to rush, almost standing. Unsteady feet.

The gray-clothed guard behind him hurriedly stepped forward to support him, his eyes were dark, his brows were slightly frowned, and he said respectfully, "Sir, let's go back and rest."

Xue Chang looked at the back of Qiaotou holding the hand away, unable to tell how much pain he felt in his heart, with a wry smile on the corner of his lips, he said in a low voice, "I think he really doesn't like fun..."

The guard glanced at him, pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and said, "Did your lord come to the other courtyard just now to see him?"

Xue Chang glanced at him sideways, raised one eyebrow, his smile did not fade: "You talk a lot today."

The guard hurriedly took a half step back, his face as calm as water: "My subordinates dare not."

"Forget it..." Xue Chang waved his hand, "I didn't blame you, why are you so panicked?" Then he walked to the bridge.

The guard's eyes froze, and quickly followed: "Sir, this is the end of the matter, you should go back and rest early, so as not to see any more troubles."

Xue Changti stepped forward and smiled casually: "What are you worried about? Wouldn't it be enough to snatch someone over?"

"The adult's heart is like a mirror, and it will never do such foolish things."

Xue Chang stopped and glanced back at him: "You will block me."

"My subordinates don't dare, I just don't understand, what does the lord like about him? Why is he so concerned..."

"You speak the truth a lot today."

The guard's expression paused, and he quickly lowered his head: "This subordinate passes over."

Xue Chang stared at him silently for a moment, then approached him and said solemnly, "Do you like me?"

The guard was startled and stepped back half a step to distance himself from him: "My subordinates dare not."

"Don't you dare?" Xue Chang chewed on his words, smiled, turned around and walked onto the bridge. Hearing the steady footsteps behind him, he didn't look back. He walked to the position where Bai Li had stood before, and stopped. After leaving, he stood still, looking at the lanterns on the river, and was silent for a while.

"I can't understand, so what's the point?" Xue Chang suddenly said.

The guard lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, as if he hadn't heard him.

However, Xue Chang continued on his own: "It's rare to see such a transparent and exquisite person... but it's a step too late..."

"It's cold at night, the adults are wearing less clothes today, so let's go back and rest."

"Long-winded." Xue Chang glanced at him impatiently, seeing him standing there like a Buddha, he couldn't help but feel amused again, waved his hand and sighed, "Forget it, go back."

You Qing bought a fragrant roast chicken for Bai Li, tore off a chicken leg and handed it to him, wrapping the rest in oil paper, holding his free hand and taking him to the direction of the Dragon Dance Lantern .

Bai Li nibbled the chicken leg until only the bones were left, brushed it clean, and had nowhere to throw it, so he continued to hold it in his hand, then took the other torn off by You Qing, nibbled a couple of bites and handed it to his mouth : "Aqing, you can eat too!"

You Qing teased him deliberately: "I'm not crying, I'm not hungry at all."

Bai Li made him speak a little embarrassedly, and scolded him humbly: "I knew you would laugh at me!" He said that, but he was still very happy, knowing that he didn't like eating these greasy foods very much. He continued to nibble without hesitation.

By the time they rushed to the place where the dragon dance was performed, the whole chicken in his hand had already been gnawed down to the bones.

You Qing saw that none of these bones and half pieces of meat were left, so he couldn't help but want to laugh. He wrapped the bones in oil paper, led him across an alley to the river, and threw the bones on the ground beside him. A yellow dog from a nearby family came over and bit it away.

The two washed their hands by the river and walked back through the alley. Bai Li saw an excellent tree at the entrance of the alley from a distance, and said in surprise: "Aqing, why don't we climb the tree and go to the roof to see it!"

It is not yet spring, and the tree is still bare without half a leaf, but the thickness of the branches can be clearly seen. You Qing took a look, put his heart down, nodded and smiled: "Listen to you."

Bai Li was so excited that he pulled him and ran over quickly: "Ah Qing! I'll come first!" After speaking, he let go of his hand, scurried up and sat on the branch of the tree, poked his head and swam to each other. Qing smiled and waved.

You Qing grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and climbing trees is not a problem, but he is much more than Bai Li Siwen, and it is easy to lift the hem of his clothes.

Seeing him come up, Bai Li pouted his butt and climbed forward twice, went to the roof, sat on the beam, turned back and continued waving at him, his expression was very excited, and when You Qing sat down with him, he pointed down: "You Look! It's much better to see this way than the fools below!"

When You Qing saw him calling others a fool, he couldn't help laughing and took him into his arms: "Yes, you are still smart."

"That's natural!" Bai Li smiled proudly, and just after laughing, he turned to stare at You Qing in amazement, staring at him inexplicably.

You Qing touched his face: "What's wrong?"

Bai Li suddenly narrowed his eyes, hugged his waist and rubbed his chest hard, raised his head and grinned at him and said, "Aqing! You are a scholar who is not polite! You actually climbed onto the roof of someone else's house like me. !Ha ha ha ha!"

The dragon lantern below took off and rolled, and the crowd cheered.

You Qing squeezed his face, smiled, and couldn't help leaning over to kiss his lips. Bai Li clenched his hand tightly on his back, and his contented murmur was submerged in the boiling voice.
