little wolf cub

In the night of the Yuan Dynasty, the lights are like the day

A young monk walked through the crowd with a child carved in powder and jade.

The young man has handsome and delicate features, and his green robe makes his figure look like bamboo.

As if afraid that the crowd would squeeze the child, the young man picked up the child and protected him in his arms.

The child seemed to be seeing such a lively scene for the first time, looking left and right with excitement on his face, hugging the young man's neck with one hand, and eating candied haws with the other.

The young man held the child in one hand, and the other hand was full of things the child bought. He raised his hand from time to time and wiped the corner of the child's mouth covered with sugar crumbs with his fingertips.

"Master." The wolf cub called softly, "I want the one that is shining."

Lin Yu responded with a "huh" and walked to the lantern stand with the wolf cub in his arms.

Under the nourishment of Lin Yu's aura, the wolf cub had already transformed a year ago, from a soft wolf cub to a soft milk doll, the same roundness, but more clingy than before.

Normally, the wolf cub has not yet taken shape, so he rarely takes it out.This year it transformed for the first time, seeing a rare lantern night party, Lin Yu thought, the brat always likes to be lively, so he brought it out.

It was also the first time for him to go to the Lantern Festival in the world, and he didn't expect there to be so many people.Fearing that the wolf cub would be squeezed, he had no choice but to hold the wolf cub in his arms.

Fortunately, the wolf cub is well-behaved, even if he sees something he likes very much, he will not move around. He will only look at Lin Yu with bright eyes, and then sweetly call out "Master".

------------

There were a variety of lanterns on the booth, and the young man lowered his head and asked the child which one he liked. The child sat in the young man's arms and said obediently, "I will like whichever master likes."

The young man smiled lightly.

"Shopkeeper, do you have wolf cub lanterns?"

The boss froze for a moment, and glanced at the crowded white rabbit lanterns and lotus lanterns, as if he didn't expect that there were still customers who liked this kind of lanterns.

Lin Yu glanced around, and then lit the lantern in the farthest corner.

"Shopkeeper, I want that."

"This...customer, this is..." The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed as he carried a dusty puppy lantern.

"Almost. This is what I want." Lin Yu smiled slightly, revealing a hint of cunning, slightly curved eyelashes dyed with a layer of warm street lights.

Lin Yu took the puppy lantern and put it in the hands of the wolf cub.

The warm lighting makes people feel peaceful and warm.

The wolf cub pouted unhappily: "Master, Xin Bai is not a puppy."

Lin Yu tightly hugged the wolf cub's hand, and said with some guilt: "This is not a puppy, this is a wolf. It's because the store's painters are not good."

As if this reason convinced him, Lin Yu continued to emphasize seriously: "Could it be that you still admit your mistakes as a teacher?"

The wolf cub firmly believed in the fallacy that "Master is never wrong" since he was a child, but he felt that the lantern in his hand really didn't look like a wolf, so he had to attribute all the faults to the lantern owner who was a very poor painter.

Lin Yu led his little apprentice to the river, and after walking for a while among the bustling crowd, he found a secluded place.

"It is said that if you write a wish on a lantern, then put it in the water and float away, the gods in the sky will see it and make your wish come true."

Lin Yu said to the drowsy little apprentice in his arms: "Xin Bai, what wish do you want to write?"

The wolf cub rubbed his eyes, puzzled and said, "But isn't Master a god?"

"The lanterns put out by mortals can be blessed by the gods, so who can the lanterns put by the master get the blessing of?"

The river wind gradually picks up, and the swaying water surface reflects the fine moonlight, which is in line with the night sky.

Lin Yu crouched by the river with the wolf cub in his arms, melted a pen in his hand, and wrote stroke by stroke on the puppy lantern: May my apprentice Xinbai have a safe life.

"The desire to be a teacher is naturally blessed by you."

Seeing the bewildered expression of the wolf cub, Lin Yu slightly raised his eyebrows, "I wish you a safe life as a teacher. After you know it, you will know in your heart that there is someone who is always worried about you. You will be cautious in your behavior, maybe Many disasters can be avoided. Then this can also be regarded as the teacher's wish come true."

The little guy in his arms opened his eyes wide, as if he felt that what Lin Yu said made sense, then he looked at Lin Yu and said, "Then I also want to write about Master's life being safe."

"Hey, a lantern can only write one wish."

Lin Yu hugged him with one arm, and pushed the lantern into the river with the other.In the dark night, that little light slowly faded away with the waves of the river.

"If you are safe, Master will be at ease. If Master is at ease, won't you be safe?"

"Master, let's put another one on, okay?" The wolf cub frowned, unable to let go of anything after all, he hugged Lin Yu's neck and said earnestly, "This time, Master is safe."

Lin Yu rubbed his head, carried him away from the river, and coaxed: "The lanterns are sold out, we will come back next year."

As if afraid of what the wolf cub would say again, Lin Yu said again: "If you are sleepy, go to bed first, we will be home in a while."

After all, children have limited energy. After shopping for so long, they start to feel drowsy after being excited.

The wolf cub yawned, still looking unwilling, but he had no choice but to accept the perfunctory "come back next year" saying "sold out".

He thought, it shouldn't be too late to put another one on for Master next year.

Lin Yu hugged the confused little apprentice, carefully avoiding the noisy crowd, and walked on the way home.

The worst way to make a wish is to be greedy, and it is enough to ask his little apprentice to be safe.

When passing by a small stall, Lin Yu was attracted by a small bell engraved with gold.The peddler saw that he was moved, so he tried his best to persuade him: "Young master, the bell is good for playing with evil spirits, it is most suitable for children. And look at the workmanship..."

"I want it."

Lin Yu paid the money, tied the bell on the little apprentice's wrist like a lotus root, and carefully cast a magic spell to ward off evil.

"Master..." The wolf cub seemed to be aware of something, and he wanted to open his eyes in a daze.

"It's okay." Lin Yu covered his eyes, afraid that the bright light of the flower market would irritate his eyes.

"Keep sleeping, we're almost home."

The little wolf cub replied in a daze, then shrank back into Lin Yu's embrace.

The bustling night market was left behind by Lin Yu, who was walking steadily on the bluestone path with his little apprentice in his arms, his hands full of gadgets and pastries bought for him.

The moonlight is bright and clear, and the wind passes silently.

"Master..." The little wolf cub curled up in Lin Yu's arms and said in a daze.

"What's wrong? Is it cold?" Lin Yu tightened his grip on the little apprentice in his arms.

"Shall we come again next time?"

"We'll come if you want."

Lin Yu coaxed the little wolf cub to sleep, stepped on the moonlight, sighed softly, and when he looked at the little wolf cub again, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

In the past few years, he has also thought clearly.

It's just the evil wolf clan, even if the wolf cub goes back in the future, he, Lin Yu, can always protect this little apprentice he raised with his own hands, so that no one will bully him, so there is no need to worry.

Pushing open the courtyard door, Lin Yu's footsteps stopped, Ling Shuang got out of her sheath instantly, and the cold light was overwhelming.

It illuminates the figure sitting in the courtyard.

Ling Shuang stopped three inches in front of that person.

The man sat under the pear tree, motionless, the hazy moonlight was reflected in the hem of his skirt, and Yi Ning sword was leaning against his side.

When she moved her phoenix eyes, she saw Lin Yu standing at the door with a cub in her arms, and her pretty eyebrows frowned.

Lin Yu looked at the person who should never be here, and was slightly taken aback.

"Sister?"
