Si Niannian thought that the 'not far' the landlady said was really not far.
But they didn't expect that by the time they actually reached Chaoyang Forest Farm, it would be dark.
The river flows under the bridge, and the night is beautiful but not silent. Some tourists are barbecued on the river bank, and some people are playing by the water. Various styles of lanterns are floating on the river.
Si Niannian stopped and looked at it for a while, "It's so beautiful."
"Yes." Bu Chensu responded, his eyes never leaving Si Niannian's face.
Si Niannian turned around, looked into Bu Chen Su's eyes, and smiled, "Brother Su, do you know the meaning of putting out lanterns?"
Bu Chensu shook his head, he was never interested in these things.
"The lantern is a kind of emotional sustenance for the person who places the lantern. Write the name of the person you like or miss on it, place it on the river, and the lantern will bring him in front of you."
"How did the baby know?"
Si Niannian looked towards the river again, and the candlelight gradually faded away.
"My mother wrote it in her diary. She wrote my father's name on the lantern. Later, the lantern actually brought my father. They reunited, and later they got married and had me."
Si Niannian's lips were smiling, but tears could not help but fill her eyes.
Bu Chensu turned her head and wiped the tears that had just poured out of her eyes with her thumbs, her eyes filled with heartache.
"Before we leave here, let's light up the lanterns."
"Yeah." Si Niannian nodded vigorously.
"Wow wow..."
A baby's cry came from the front, it was very loud, and the hearts of those who heard it tightened.
Si Niannian and Bu Chensu subconsciously turned their heads and looked over. However, the people on the river bank were still going about their own business and did not respond to the cry.
The baby's cries became louder and louder. Si Niannian couldn't help but quicken his pace and followed the direction of the sound to the door of a house.
It's just autumn now, and the night is not too cold yet. The windows of this house happen to be open, so you can clearly see what's going on inside.
A young woman was holding a baby, and another woman with gray hair poured white wine into a spoon, lit it, and when the flame went out, she held the baby's mouth and was about to pour it in.
Si Niannian was shocked and subconsciously spoke to stop him.
"stop!"
Seeing the two strangers suddenly appearing at home, the young woman and the old woman were startled.
"Who are you? How can you break into other people's homes and scare our children?"
The old woman was thin and had a bit of evil in her eyes.
The baby's cry became louder, and his two little hands kept waving. Maybe it was because he had been crying for too long, and his voice was already a little hoarse.
Si Niannian glanced at the spoon in the old woman's hand and said, "Are you going to feed this to the child?"
The old woman looked down and patted her thigh.
"Oh, it's all your fault. You wasted time. This wine has gone cold and won't work anymore."
As she spoke, she spilled the wine in the spoon on the ground, poured some more in, and lit it again.
"My son suddenly had a stomachache. My mother-in-law wanted to treat the child." The young woman explained while coaxing the child. Her voice was gentle and her eyes were red.
How could she not feel distressed when she heard this cry for the baby she had given birth to in ten months
Si Niannian stepped forward and reached out to hold the baby's wrist.
"what you do!"
The old woman nervously came up to stop him, and Bu Chensu's invisible mental power separated the people.
The old woman tried hard to move forward, but couldn't take a step forward, so she couldn't help but panic.
"A ghost has broken into the wall. Oh my God, I have recruited a little ghost. I said Tiedan'er won't cry and get sick for no reason. He must be possessed by evil spirits. He must go to the next village to find Master Zhang and have a look."
