My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

"To seek the good way."

After handing the answer to the referee and getting his approval, I continued to move forward.

The audience in the audience couldn't help but admire Chang An as he walked up without stopping:

"I didn't expect Chang Langjun to be so fast."

"I can't even get past the third riddle."

"As expected of Mr. Chang..."

Chang An quickly passed the fourth riddle and came to the fifth riddle: "The moon hangs in the sky, Chang'e sleeps with you. It rains at twilight hour, so reading is unnecessary - pick four words."

After Chang An read the poem once, he held his chin and began to look for clues to spell the words.

"Is Mr. Chang stuck? Why don't you answer the questions?"

At this time, the audience in the audience began to talk again.

"What if Mr. Chang is thinking?"

"Let's wait and see..."

Chang An secretly sighed, then picked up the brush and wrote four words on the white paper: "There is good wine for sale."

The referee took the answer, nodded, and shouted, "Mr. Chang, solve the fifth riddle."

The old man on the stage also called out, "Mr. Chang, would you be willing to come up and try the sixth lantern riddle?"

Chang An nodded slightly to show his willingness, and the old man extended his hand to signal him to come forward. He took a step and walked straight to the flower bridge. The flower lantern on it was very large, which made the riddle paper pasted on it look a little small.

He looked at the riddle intently, and when he saw it clearly, his eyebrows couldn't help but jump - wasn't this the riddle he had written before? How come it was posted now?

Chang An held his forehead helplessly, then picked up the brush beside him and wrote the word "umbrella". Not only the audience was surprised, but even the old man was a little stunned.

He walked up to Chang An and picked up the paper with the answer written on it. The answer on it was also correct. The old man was a little surprised and asked, "Many people have tried before, but no one could solve this riddle. I wonder how Mr. Chang guessed it?"

"This is exactly the riddle I made up." Chang An raised his hand and saluted.

"So this riddle was written by you, Mr. Chang." The old man understood a little at this time. It was not uncommon for someone to answer a riddle he wrote himself. "In this case, it is not surprising that Mr. Chang could answer the riddle without thinking."

The old man shouted at this time: "Mr. Chang, answer the sixth riddle!"

At this time, the audience burst into applause, and Chang An turned around and looked at the audience. He had excellent eyesight and looked directly at where Gu Li and little Du Fu were standing: the two people, one small and one big, were standing there, looking at him, and seemed very happy.

At this time, the old man had already called two of his servants and asked them to bring over the lantern that was given as a reward last night. Now it was Chang An's turn to be surprised -

This lantern is not small, and the four sides are decorated with different movements, but they are all phoenix movements. The four corners are decorated with phoenixes, each with a bell in its mouth; the four sides are made of light wood, and there is a tassel hanging from the bottom.

"This is the reward for Mr. Chang solving the puzzle. Please accept it." said the old man.

"Thank you."

Chang An also nodded slightly, took the big lantern, and left the stage. Then he returned to them under the gaze of Gu Li and Du Fu.

"Chang Lang." When Gu Li saw Chang An coming back with the biggest lantern, he walked forward excitedly.

"This big lantern belongs to our Mrs. Gu." Chang An said with a smile, then took Gu Li and Du Fu away from the riddle stand.

"Is this for me?" Gu Li was a little surprised. When she saw Chang An smiling and nodding, she was sure that this was true.

"Mr. Chang is truly a man of extraordinary talent. He got the biggest lantern so quickly." Little Du Fu also said so.

"It's just a coincidence that I was the one who came up with the riddle for the sixth lantern." Chang An said with a smile as he took the lantern from Gu Li's arms.

"That riddle was made by you, Mr. Chang!" Du Fu was a little surprised.

Gu Li was also a little surprised at this time, but he quickly figured out what was going on, and then said with a frown: "I knew Chang Lang's riddle would definitely win first place."

Chang An smiled and said, "Then let's continue walking around and then find an open place to put the lanterns?"

"What lantern?" Gu Li snatched the big lantern from Chang An's arms and held it in his arms like a treasure.

"This is the lantern Chang Lang gave me. I can't bear to let it go."

Chang An just happened to have his hands free, so he gently tapped Gu Li's head and then took the lantern.

"I didn't say to set off this big lantern. I meant that Madam Gu should buy another lantern and we can set off the one we bought."

"Oh... okay." Gu Li no longer had any objections. He took Chang An's arm and continued shopping.

After walking around for a while, Chang An and Gu Li heard a familiar pipa music, and they looked in the direction of the arpeggio.

Su Meng was sitting on a stage holding a pipa, plucking the pipa strings with her fingers. The song "Spring River Moon Night" flowed through the ears of the audience like water.

"Let's go and listen too, to show our support to our sister." Gu Li said, shaking Chang An's arm.

"Let's listen here and see it." Chang An said, "I'm holding our lantern, so it's not easy to squeeze in."

"Okay then." Gu Li agreed without forcing it.

Du Fu was still a child at this time, so he could not see what was happening on the stage, so he asked, "Are Mr. Chang and Ms. Gu familiar with Ms. Su Meng?"

"Indeed, we are quite familiar with each other," Chang An nodded, "Su Meng is my confidant, and she and my wife are sworn sisters."

Du Fu nodded in understanding, and Chang An asked, "Young Master Du, do you want to see Madam Su Meng's beauty?"

"Is it okay?" Du Fu was a little flattered.

"Of course," Chang An smiled and handed the two lanterns in his hand to Gu Li, then he pinched Du Fu's waist and carried him to his shoulders, let him sit on his shoulders, and finally took back the two lanterns.

"Wow!" Little Du Fu was sitting on Chang An's shoulder at this time, and he could clearly see what was happening on the stage. "Mrs. Su Meng is really beautiful."

"Mother Gu, I let Young Master Du sit on my shoulders, you don't mind, right?" Chang An looked at Gu Li and asked with a smile.

"Young Master Du is still young, what can I mind?" Gu Li said with a gentle smile.

"That's good, let's continue shopping after listening to the music." Chang An said with a smile, and turned around to continue listening to the pipa music.

At this time, Su Meng also saw Chang An and nodded slightly towards where he was. When the song ended, Su Meng looked in the direction of Chang An again, but this time her eyes were a little strange.

Chang An saw Gu Li's eyes moving, as if he wanted to tell him something. At this time, he also felt something was wrong in his subconscious mind, and then he looked around reflexively, but there was no one beside him.

His heart skipped a beat, thinking something was wrong. He quickly shook the little Du Fu sitting on his shoulder and asked, "Young Master Du, did you notice where my wife went just now?"

"what?"

Du Fu also looked at Chang An's side in confusion, and Gu Li was indeed not there. He turned his head and looked behind him. He and Chang An were standing at the outermost edge of the crowd, with a surging crowd behind them.

"Ms. Gu is missing!" Du Fu said nervously.

At this time, Chang An also pulled over a few passers-by, described Gu Li's appearance, and asked if they had seen him, but the answer he got was "no".

"I'll go look for it."

Chang An handed the two lanterns in his hand to Du Fu, then turned over and took him down. He then looked around, took a few deep breaths, closed his eyes and calmed his mind. At this moment, he felt that there seemed to be a strange gravitational force in a certain direction, so he ran directly in that direction.

"Mr. Chang, wait for me! I'll go with you to look for it!" Du Fu saw Chang An running in one direction, so he quickly hugged the two lanterns in his hands and followed him.

Chang An slowed down his pace slightly. In order to find Gu Li in time, he called Gu Li's name while searching:

"Mother Gu! Mother Gu!"

"Madam Gu! Madam Gu!" Du Fu followed closely behind Chang An. Although he could not see far away due to his body size, he still helped Chang An call Gu Li.

Chang An ran and stopped from time to time, and asked some vendors on the roadside, but he also got a negative answer. He frowned and looked around, but he didn't see the familiar figure in the place where the light shone.

He not only looked for her on the main street, but also crossed an alley from time to time to see if she was hiding in an alley. After running for a long time, he still didn't see Gu Li. Little Du Fu was panting and asked, "How is Chang Langjun? Did you find Madam Gu?"

"No..." Chang An took a breath and then looked around.

At this time, the two of them had also run for quite a distance, but still did not see Gu Li. Even though it was still early spring and the weather was still a little cool, beads of sweat were already appearing on Chang An's forehead.

He panted, looking at the bright Zhuque Street. Little Du Fu also panted, saying: "Mr. Chang... we... we ran quite far."

"Mrs. Gu is not in good health. She can't reach this far even if she walks or runs. How about we go back and look for another one?"

Chang An nodded, then turned around and prepared to look for it. But at this moment, he looked towards a corner for some unknown reason.

The light there was not bright, and it was even a little dark compared to the surroundings. But right there, there stood a slender figure, huddled in that inconspicuous little corner.

Suddenly looking back, the man was in the dim light.

Chang An walked up, while Gu Li huddled in the dimly lit corner, holding tightly in his hands two strings of bright red candied haws.

She just watched Chang An come to her breathlessly, and seemed to be worried that he would be angry, so she took two steps back in fear.

Chang An was indeed a little emotional and wanted to ask a few questions, but he saw that the other party tentatively handed over a string of candied haws in his hand to him. As if she felt that one was not enough, she handed over the candied haws in her other hand as well.

Seeing Gu Li's action, Chang An's anger disappeared immediately. He sighed helplessly and stretched out his hand, but Gu Li seemed a little scared, but still bit his lip to prevent himself from retreating.

Chang An placed his hand on Gu Li's head, touched it gently, and asked in a gentle tone:

"Why did you run so far?"
