The Qinchun Building was still in a mess. After Yu Chili said goodbye to Shen Chu and Shen Sheng, he took Liu Luoyi out of the door, and his surroundings were suddenly quieter.
When the two walked to the south of the city, the sky was already gray, and the earth seemed to be covered with a layer of shadows, but there were clusters of light rising by the river, slowly drifting towards the sky.
Yuchi Li suddenly whistled, and in an instant, countless Kongming lanterns appeared out of nowhere, swaying and converging in mid-air, and then drifted northwest with the breeze, making the originally dark sky a little brighter.
It just so happened that the city's Chinese lanterns first came on, and every household lit the lanterns, and the lanterns hung in place, but the Kongming lanterns flew to a vast sky.
No matter where you look at it, it is a world of fireworks and a prosperous world.
Liu Luoyi looked up at the sky, the firelight reflected in her eyes, gradually becoming blurred, connecting into a hazy light spot.
The book I read secretly when I was a child said that there was a woman who met the love of her life, and that person would put a river of lights for her every year, year after year, without interruption.
She once fantasized that one day she would have a river full of lanterns, but as she got older, such unrealistic ideas slowly disappeared.
When Liu Luoyi saw everything in front of her eyes again, she realized that tears had already fallen on her hands.
Yu Chili on the side was silent and reached out to erase it for her.
"The original intention was to make you happy, but why did you cry?" Yu Chili smiled helplessly, "You will cry later, and there's more."
She waved at the grass in the distance upstream, and stretched out a dozen hands from it, nimbly lit the river lanterns, and put them into the water one by one.
In a short period of time, the river was full of dazzling lights, Yu Chili stepped forward and reached out to fish one, handed it to Liu Luoyi, and said softly, "Look at it."
Liu Luoyi took the flower-shaped river lantern and saw that it was written in clumsy calligraphy: "I'm going home now, Yang Liu Yiyi."
She couldn't take it anymore, turned her back, and covered her face.
Yuchi couldn't help laughing in the heart, but she didn't dare to laugh out loud, so she reached out and patted her shoulder, and said in a coaxing tone: "Don't cry, this is not just an apology, I heard Wen Chang say, after a few moments Today is your birthday, so take advantage of today to celebrate together."
Liu Luoyi didn't speak, but suddenly turned around and leaned her entire body into Yuchili's arms, but her hands were hanging by her side, only her face was resting on her shoulders, and she sobbed softly.
Yu Chili was stunned, unable to react for a while, he wanted to raise his hand, but felt that the joints all over his body seemed to be rusted, and the shaft could not move.
"You, don't cry. If others don't know, they think I've done something to you. Miss Liu, who is as indifferent as ice, is really a sin to be bullied by me like this." Yu Chili looked down at her.
With a fragrant body, the girl leaned against her defenselessly, soft and warm.
Her smooth, white and tender neck was completely exposed in front of her eyes. Yu Chili suddenly felt a little dry, and she hurriedly looked away, trying to control her frantically beating heart.
Liu Luoyi didn't move away as quickly as usual this time, and even slowly stretched out his hand to find one of Yuchili's sleeves and clenched it tightly in his hand.
It seemed that she could feel at ease.
"Princess, don't be so nice to me," she said suddenly.
"Why?"
Liu Luoyi closed his eyes, threw himself completely into the intoxicating fragrance of green grass, and said softly, "What if I can't leave you in the future?"
Yu Chili suddenly thought about it and said, "If you have to leave, what will you do?"
"Death," she replied.
Yu Chili felt like she had been punched hard in her heart, she sighed, put her free hand on top of her head gently, put her tone right, and said word by word, "Don't worry, president of you. Hundred years of life."
Xin Ran squatted in the grass until her legs were numb. While driving away the mosquitoes around her, she opened her arms wide, eager for Yu Chi to look at her.
As a result, Yu Chi left for a long time without raising his face.
"Princess! Can we get up?" she shouted angrily.
Yuchi didn't hear it, took a deep breath, and said, "The Kongming lantern is set up here, and people will all come after a while. How about we take advantage of this time to go to Liu Mansion?"
Liu Luoyi nodded obediently, wiped away the tears on her face, but her hands were still clutching her sleeves, followed behind, and then secretly ripped off the petals that read "Yang Liu Yiyi" on the lantern and stuffed them into her pockets .
She turned her head and glanced at the Kongming Lantern, which had already drifted away.
She thought that in her long life to come, she will always remember the splendor of the Huacheng Festival.
The two quickly arrived at Liu Mansion. This place has been sealed for many years, and no one is guarding it. The surrounding streets looked very depressed.
"There are very few people passing by here. Now that people are going outside, there is no one here. It's a good time for night exploration." Yuchi nodded with satisfaction. He didn't even change his night clothes today. The house, no one will stare.
It's just that Liu Luoyi looked at the high courtyard wall and felt a little apprehensive. She frowned and said, "Before, I was locked up by my father all day. I tried to get out of the wall several times, but I didn't succeed once. ."
Yu Chili burst out laughing, looked at Liu Luoyi, and laughed, "I can't believe that Xiao Liu'er is not an Ansheng."
Liu Luoyi rolled her eyes at her, stepped forward, and wanted to see how high the wall was, but unexpectedly a hand was suddenly wrapped around her waist, her body suddenly lightened, she rose into the air, and jumped from the wall in the blink of an eye. past.
When she reacted, the bluestone road in the courtyard was already under her feet.
It was slippery even when she stepped on it. She didn't stand still and fell into Yuchili's arms again.
She ran away with a blushing face, blaming herself for why she was always clumsy and caused trouble to Yuchi.
Yu Chili didn't care, she walked in behind Liu Luoyi, for fear that she would fall again.
"You should be familiar with here, where shall we go first?" she asked.
Liu Luoyi looked around, but her heart suddenly twitched. This is the place where she has lived for more than ten years, and on that night, her home was broken.
There are no ruins, and even the grass in the garden is luxuriantly growing. Except for a few miscellaneous things, it is almost impossible to see that the biggest disaster in a girl's life once broke out here.
The more peaceful it is, the more sad it is.
Yu Chili saw what was wrong with her, stepped forward, took her hand gently, held her tightly, and led her around the garden and the small veranda, and walked inside.
She didn't say a word, but it was very reassuring. Liu Luoyi looked at her back and felt a little better.
Passing a door, there is another large and small yard. There is a small swing in the courtyard. The swing is tied to a tree and covered with fallen leaves.
Liu Luoyi brushed it lightly with his hand and missed it very much.
"This is the swing you used to play with when you were a child? It is indeed smaller, not as big as the one in our courtyard." Yu Chili commented seriously.
"You despise it?" Liu Luoyi looked up at Yu Chili.
Yuchi Li hurriedly shook his head desperately.
"Daddy's bedroom is over there. There's nothing in it. As long as I can remember, his room is bare and only has a bed, so it shouldn't be anything to see." Liu Luoyi said.
"Then let's go to the study first. Although this place should have been cleaned, what clues will be left in case." Yu Chili said.
Even if there is nothing, it is worth taking Liu Luoyi to see his former home.
Sure enough, as she had guessed, the study had already been ransacked. It might be someone who was sent to clean it by someone in the dark, or it might be those beggars who used to steal and pick up some valuable things.
Judging from the clutter of the footprints on site, both are present.
The ground is full of messes, with a little dust on it, and occasionally some footprints are also sealed in the dust.
Yu Chili asked Liu Luoyi to stand outside, put up light work by himself, walked in without leaving a trace, and searched carefully.
After a long time, nothing unusual was found. It was a place that had been dusty for a long time. She shook her head, thinking that this trip was probably in vain.
Just as she was about to go out, she suddenly noticed the chairs placed under the table, which were very smooth and clean, without a trace of dust, as if someone had just sat here not long ago.
Yuchili suddenly felt a chill in his neck, hurriedly flew out and landed next to Liu Luoyi, and he was relieved to see that she was all right.
"What's wrong?" Liu Luoyi hurriedly asked.
"There's something wrong inside. There's dust everywhere, only the chairs are very clean. I think there should be someone other than us who come here often. There are no footprints on the ground, which proves that person can be light-hearted." Yuchili said in a low voice.
"Princess, why don't we go out." Liu Luoyi suddenly grabbed Yuchili and said worriedly.
"I've come here. I just released my inner strength to investigate. Except for us, there is no one else here, unless that person's martial arts are far superior to me. But this possibility is very small." Yu Chili is very confident.
"Since someone comes here often, there shouldn't be anything to find out here. Let's go to your father's bedroom to see if that person has been there." Yuchi said with a frown.
The Liu residence was not big, and the two quickly walked to the bedroom. As soon as the door opened, a mouse squeaked and hid in the darkness.
Yu Chili coughed and wiped the dust off his face. It seemed that no one had ever come to the bedroom.
The inside is indeed as bare as Liu Luoyi said, and at a glance, there is a bed in the back room, and there are no pillows on the bed.
"Your father is really an honest official, so frugal." Yu Chili clicked his tongue.
"Wrong, he is not thrifty, he always likes to collect famous paintings and calligraphy, no matter how expensive the paintings are, he is willing to pay for the money. The reason why the bedroom is like this is because my mother, I heard from the nurse that after my mother passed away, my father put the room in the room. Everything was lost, and it was said to be afraid of being hurt."
"It's just that those calligraphy and paintings should have been looted." Liu Luoyi lowered his eyes and said.
"Don't be afraid, I'll buy it for you again." After Yu Chili said, he took out the fire book from his sleeve, and after the erratic flames rose, he carefully walked in with Liu Luoyi.
When Liu Luoyi heard her words, the corners of her lips were slightly raised again.
It's really empty inside, and the ground is very straight, and there's no place to hide anything.
Yuchi groped around for a while, gave up completely, sat down on the bed, and said depressed: "That's it, I didn't have much hope."
"Princess, can you help me move this bed away?" Liu Luoyi said suddenly, her eyes fixed on the bed. "
"Don't scare me, I'm cowardly." Yu Chili felt a chill on his back, and suddenly jumped behind Liu Luoyi.
