Meng Eqi waited for a long time, but did not hear Sheng Jiayan's response. She leaned her head dazedly on Sheng Jiayan's shoulder, listening to the sound of firecrackers being set off from an unknown house, Sheng Jiayan walked steadily forward with her back on his back, he even felt for a moment that what he wanted, at this moment It's all on his shoulders.
There is an unwritten tradition in the Meng family. Every New Year's Eve to watch the New Year's Eve, at midnight, the sisters of the Meng family who have not left the cabinet will accompany them to the Qinghe River in the house to set off lanterns.
The Qinghe River flows through the Meng Mansion and flows to the wider river and sea. There are rumors that if a woman writes her wish in a lantern and puts it in the river, she will eventually be picked up by the river god, and the river god may help you realize your wish.
Therefore, Sheng Jiayan guarded Meng Eqi and let her sleep for a while. She hadn't rested much when Meng Yizhen was running over in a row, and before she entered the room, her voice had already come in: "Third sister! Get up, let's set off the lanterns!"
Sheng Jiayan looked sideways at Meng Qiqi, who had turned over in the Bisha closet, scratched his butt, and continued to sleep, and said coldly to Meng Yizhen who came in, "Speak up."
Meng Yizhen was always afraid of her second brother, so she could not help shrinking her neck and explained: "Second brother, third sister reminded me this morning that I must ask her to set off the lanterns together. If I don't call, She's got me again."
Sheng Jiayan's expression turned slightly, and he got up and pushed Meng Qiqi. The latter was unmoved, snoring alarmingly.
"Second brother, I have a solution." Meng Yizhen hummed and climbed into the gauze closet, pinched Meng Qiqi's nose with two fingers, and waited for her to wake up with a smile.
Who knew that Meng Qiqi not only didn't wake up, but because of this, she was out of breath at all, and her face was flushed with swelling. Sheng Jiayan hurriedly waved Meng Yizhen's hand away, Meng Yizhen groaned in pain and fell to the side.
"Second brother?" Meng Yizhen looked at him badly: "I usually play with my third sister like this..."
Sheng Jiayan didn't blame her much, but said, "This is dangerous, don't do it in the future, and don't be ruined by your third sister."
Meng Yizhen stood up from the ground and patted the hem of her skirt: "Second brother, you are so kind to the third sister. No wonder everyone has the second brother, and the sons of other families can't think of the third sister."
Sheng Jiayan was about to pull Meng Qiqi's hand up, and then stopped directly in the air.
He hadn't realized that he and Meng Eqi had behaved so closely for a long time. They usually went out and went out the same way, but he thought it was nothing, but what should he think of Meng Eqi in the eyes of others
I'm afraid that any ugly words will be exported, but I have never paid attention to it.
Sheng Jiayan thought of this, and there were two touches of irritability on his gloomy face.
He originally wanted to pull Meng Eqi up with his own hands, but now he turned around and walked to the door, calling for Yan Sha, who was guarding outside the door, to come in and serve.
It happened that Meng Qiqi woke up leisurely, and when she looked around, she could only see the back of Sheng Jiayan walking away.
Meng Yizhen didn't notice anything wrong, and didn't realize that she made a mistake, she just rushed on Meng Qiqi's couch and urged, "Third sister, hurry up, if it's too late, Lord River God will not wait for our lanterns!"
Meng Eqi dressed calmly, her eyes not fully awake yet. He only murmured in his heart: The River God is busy all day long without touching the ground, where is there time to pick up your lanterns, not to mention that on New Year's Eve today, Meng Eqi suspects that the River God has returned to the court to report on the year's work.
Even so, she was ready to go with Meng Yizhen and the others. Not to make a wish to the river god, but to those strange dreams that I had had.
According to legend, all the rivers, lakes and rivers below eventually converge to the sea. The sea is boundless, vast and vast, but there are rumors that the end of the sea is a wild life. All the sea water will pour back into the wilderness, and then flow back to the world through another door.
Meng Qiqi didn't know whether it was true or not. The only thing she could confirm now was that the people or things she dreamed about in her dreams were all related to the wilderness.
In the legends of the gods, there was a wilderness at the end of the world and the other side. There are thousands of gods, demons and beasts sealed there, all of them are psychic and possess extraordinary abilities.
When Meng Eqi was in the underworld, he had also heard about the Savage Demon Venerable, but he just didn't know where he was now. According to rumors, the Savages he led, Zeng Slaughter Gods and Immortals, hit Wuli Lane all the way to the South Gate. In the end, why did she suddenly disappear, Meng Eqi didn't know, she only vaguely felt that she had an inextricable relationship with Savage.
And Meng Qiqi herself didn't just set off the lanterns this time, she clipped a spell-breaking talisman in the lanterns.
This is the fetish that she won from the bet of Shou Xing Gong when she and Sheng Jiayan went to Shou Xing Gong's birthday. The real spell is still in the underworld, and the one in Meng Eqi's hand is just a fake that she drew from memory. The effect is to make the person who picks up this talisman climb out of the wild, I only hope that this fake Meng Qiqi has such spiritual power.
That's right, she wanted to take the risk and release wild monsters, even one is enough. She must figure out who she was before she became Madam Meng.
In the books in the underworld, there are only long-winded records of Meng Qiqi's achievements, all of which are her deeds since she became Meng's mother. And Meng Qiqi's memory seems to have started from finding a job in the underworld. Even if she tries hard to trace the source of her memory, all she can remember is Sheng Jiayan's icy face telling her: "From now on, you are Mother Meng, who is responsible for the reincarnation of the six realms. , the memory of the soul."
Meng Eqi made such a move without Sheng Jiayan, and I believe that Sheng Jiayan will not forgive her when she recovers her memory, but maybe everything will be revealed when that happens.
Meng Eqi and Meng Yizhen came to the house by the Qinghe River hand in hand. Meng Yihui and Meng Yilian were already waiting there. Many housekeepers held warm yellow lanterns to light up the sisters. Meng Eqi looked around and said, "Why don't you see me?" Ayan?"
"The woman only sets off the lantern, it's just right when he doesn't come," Meng Yilian pulled her over: "Three sisters, look, my lantern is out again! The elder sister's is so far away."
Meng Eqi looked in the direction she pointed, Meng Yilian's maid was salvaging her lantern that had capsized. Seeing that another one was put down, the lantern seemed to be spinning and playing with something, and it turned around on the river for a few times, and then overturned the boat again, and the candle in the lantern was extinguished in an instant.
Meng Yilian stomped her feet angrily, and Meng Yihui laughed a few times when she saw this: "What's the point of this, it's not because your wishes are too heavy, and the overwhelmed River God doesn't want to read it, so I just knocked it over for you."
Meng Qiqi asked curiously, "What kind of wish did the second sister make?"
"It's nothing," Meng Yilian counted with her hands broken: "It's nothing more than begging him to bless me and find a good man. By the way, let the eldest brother, the second brother and the fifth brother become famous, let's Meng Mansion. The population is prosperous, and the grandmother is getting better and better."
"You promised so much, no wonder Lord River God didn't accept it!" Meng Yizhen fiddled with her lantern and prepared to put it down into the water.
"Not much! I also added one last sentence. If none of the above wishes can be fulfilled, then let him show up for me to see! This requirement is not too much!"
The crowd burst into laughter, and Meng Eqi quietly approached the water with her lantern.
She tried her best to widen her eyes and looked around, but couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. Meng Yilian had indeed made many wishes, but how could the River God come out to make fun of mortals because of this, so there must be ghosts making trouble.
Meng Qiqi had no spiritual power, so he couldn't see where the problem was. He just lowered his voice and approached the water: "Don't make trouble here, otherwise, auntie, I'll go back to the underworld and beat you to pieces. Even if I don't do it, the Lord of Hell in the house won't spare you."
Meng Qiqi had just finished speaking when the gurgling river suddenly surged. Without taking precautions, she was poured over her face by the splashing water.
When the people behind them heard the movement, they hurriedly exclaimed. Meng Eqi wiped her face angrily, and pretended to be okay: "Second sister, try again if you can put lanterns on."
The light that Meng Yilian put down this time did not go out. Youyou whirled and drifted into the distance.
"Eh!? Strange, this time it's okay!"
Meng Eqi disapproved and put his lantern into the river. It seems that the thing hidden in the river just now was very unconvinced and gave her a moment before leaving.
Well, you have the kind!
The lanterns of the crowd floated away along with the water and the thin snow. Meng Qiqi looked at the swaying lanterns, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable for a while.
She should not be intercepted by the river god halfway. If the river god brings this matter to court, then she...
Meng Eqi and Meng Yizhen went to set off firecrackers again, and they didn't stop until midnight. After everything was packed up, she lay down in the hot quilt and was about to fall asleep. Meng Qiqi remembered that she hadn't seen Sheng Jiayan for several hours, and Ming must ask him what happened.
Thinking about entering dreamland like this, the dream is not as peaceful as in the past. Meng Eqi saw that General Xuehe and others stepped on a toad under their feet, and the toad was beaten by the people and kept begging for mercy.
"Let you drink water! Let you drink water!"
"I was wrong, I don't dare anymore. I thought she was bluffing me, but I didn't expect that she was really Madam Meng!"
The crowd beat the toad to the brink of death until the emerald green on its body turned black and green.
General Xuehe and the others turned around at this time and waved to Meng Qiqi. The father-in-law sighed at this time: "Not good, I fell into a dream again, let's go."
Everyone shoved away, when Meng Eqi woke up, it was already three poles in the sun.
Originally, he and Sheng Jiayan made an appointment to go out for a walk together again today, but Meng Eqi was stopped by A Rong as soon as he walked to the door of his yard.
"Young master is on a lunch break, third sister will come back later." A Rong smiled, making Meng Eqi very uncomfortable.
Sheng Jiayan is really weird today, even if he is resting, the servants will not stop Meng Qiqi. Let Meng Qiqi go in and lie on Sheng Jiayan's table to play with his rice paper, pen and ink, but today A Rong actually stopped her.
