How can there be a brother in the rivers and lakes to have fun?

If you go to Songjiang Huxiaodu, don't be surprised by mandarin ducks, the four bridges are all there, where Lao Tzu travels.

The winter in the south is wet and cold, which is really unfriendly to northerners.Shui Fengqing was so cold that his upper teeth knocked his lower teeth, and he folded his hands and folded his arms tremblingly: "Eldest Brother, Songjiang Mansion... didn't you say it's not cold..."

On the way home, he sighed, took off his rabbit fur cloak and gave it to his junior brother: "Master said that Songjiang Mansion is not cold, which means that it is not cold compared with the winter in Jianmen, and you can't just go there dressed like autumn." Run here."

Putting on the cloak immediately made him feel much warmer, especially this was the cloak that the senior brother had worn warmly.Shui Fengqing breathed out comfortably, asked him to look at him for a while on the way home, and finally couldn't hold back, stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of his head: "Are you stupid?"

"Hey senior brother, don't rub my head." Shui Fengqing slightly turned to avoid it, "Aren't you cold, senior brother?"

On the way home, he shook his head, and stretched out his hand to show him the clothes he was wearing.The padded jacket, together with his own inner strength, was enough to keep out the cold.Shui Fengqing took out his handkerchief and wiped his nose: "Okay, I'm the only one who is stupid."

On the way home, Wen took his luggage for him and took him away from the pier where people come and go: "It's okay, I still have clothes at my place, you can change them later. If it doesn't matter, I'll take you to a tailor shop to buy a suit." He said this , but changed the topic, and looked at Shui Fengqing with a little reproach, "You are really too. I will go back to the mountain in two months, so why are you rushing to Songjiang Mansion to find me?"

"Isn't this the Shangyuan Festival?" Shui Fengqing said to him, "In previous years, during the Shangyuan Festival, it was you, senior brother, who presided over the religious affairs inside the door.This year, if you come out for a cloud tour, you have to change your senior brother to be in charge.I don't like to see his stinky face, so I might as well come out and play with you! "

"Who told you that you were looking for me for fun." Looking at his helplessness on the way back, Shui Fengqing laughed, "I know you are a busy person, but you sent a letter to Master a few days ago Go back quickly, doesn't that mean that there is nothing wrong? Since there is nothing wrong, I came to you at this time, isn't it just for fun. "

It's a bit unreasonable.Shaking his head on the way home, he first took Shui Fengqing to the inn where he was staying to pack his bags, and then found him a winter coat.It was the first time for Shui Fengqing to come to Songjiang Mansion, and today happened to be the Lantern Festival, so he really followed his words to come out to play.The lantern festival won’t be seen until late at night. On the way home, I stayed in Songjiang for a while, so I got to know some local customs and customs. First, I took my junior to find something to eat——

"Songjiang's sea bass is the most famous, and now is about the time. There is a restaurant called Qilinlou in front of it. I heard that it has just opened not long ago, but the craftsmanship is really good. The sea bass is quite delicious. You should like it."

The two of them chatted and turned a corner, Shui Fengqing only looked at the way home, and didn't pay attention to the road under his feet, but felt a tripping sound, looked down, and kicked a stick.It turned out that there was an old fortune-teller in the corner, sitting on a small mat, with a sheet of tarpaulin spread on the ground in front of him, and the corner of the sheet was pressed by a stick.This cloth is painted with a picture of the Eight Diagrams, and on the left and right is written the eight characters of "testing eight characters", "marriage fortune-telling", "stars" and "good or bad luck".The bottom line reads: The iron mouth is broken, no money if it doesn't work.

Well, the flood rushed to the Dragon King Temple, and the Taoist priest kicked the fortune-telling door.Shui Fengqing couldn't hold back a chuckle, and on the way home he gave him a helpless look, and knelt down to help someone clean up the scattered bamboo sticks.

When I stretched out my hand, the fortune teller's eyes lit up, and he grabbed his wrist:

"Little friend has excellent bones, do you intend to let the little old man make a fortune for you?"

The so-called beauty is in the bones but not in the skin. The beauty and ugliness of the skin are all superficial sensuality, but the basic appearance should always be accompanied by the whole body.This fortune teller called human bones when he opened his mouth, and he did have a brush.Shui Fengqing was dissatisfied, and pointed to the fortune teller's hand first: "Sir, do you have something to say, can you let go of my brother?"

What he said was really not pleasant to listen to. Asking the way back, he frowned slightly and gave him a look to signal him to be cautious. Shui Fengqing just folded his arms and turned his head away from speaking——this person's petty temper is a little good, and he Small temper also goes quickly.Leave him alone for a while, and it will be fine.Asking about the way home is because he is most familiar with his junior brother, so he put his hands away calmly, and smiled slightly: "Mr. kindly, this junior appreciates it. It's just that this junior is in a Taoist sect, so it's not easy to ask people for divination."

"If you are in the Daoist sect, then you are one family under heaven." The old man was surprisingly stubborn, but he grabbed Wentutu's hand again.Shui Fengqing frowned and was about to speak, he stretched out his hand to stop him on the way home, quite a bit of peace of mind, probably the Lantern Festival should be more lively, instead he just smiled, and casually twirled a stick out of the stick:

"That's it. Sir, please explain the hexagram for me." He said, and offered another broken silver, "This is the hexagram gold."

The so-called gold, silver, and empty hexagrams are not empty, and divination is a matter of peeking at the number of days, so fortune-telling must be offered with gold, so that you can ask for secrets without harming your longevity.This is also the rule of the rivers and lakes, although Shui Fengqing thinks it is just a lie.

Probably meeting such a well-behaved person, Mr. is really relieved.Just asking about the way home, I took a hexagram lottery casually, which was quite contemptuous.The gentleman no longer cares about this much, just look at his hexagram lottery——

"Staying far away with a loud voice is not borrowing the autumn wind."

Shui Fengqing also saw it, and laughed, with a bit of arrogance in this smile: "I can recite this poem at the age of three, sir, so your hexagrams are all such things ?”

"Ah Qing." The only one in the world who can control him is the way to return, "Don't be presumptuous."

Shui Fengqing was quite dissatisfied, curled her lips to express her disdain, and turned her head to ignore others.Shaking his head on the way home was quite helpless, the gentleman only twitched his beard and laughed: "My little friend's hexagram is the sign of 'cicadas sing high and far', so it can be considered auspicious, which is gratifying."

Before Shui Fengqing could speak, he glanced at him on the way home, and directly choked back what he hadn't said yet.The fortune-teller pretended not to have seen it, and still had a slight smile: "Your face is correct, you are a blessed person. As the saying goes, you stay far away from your voice, and you are upright, and you have a bright future ahead, and you don't need to rely on it." rely on others."

Shui Fengqing refused to accept it, and hummed again: "Do you need to say that?"

With a smile in his eyes, the gentleman raised his eyes to look at Shui Fengqing.Shui Fengqing was getting hairs on his back when he saw it, and the master continued: "As the saying goes, one hexagram is one thing, and there are too many things to know. My little friend didn't say what to ask for in this hexagram, so I just asked the hexagram according to the fate. If you talk about the future, you are like a cicada. Ming Gaoyuan; but if it is fate, it is a bit more dangerous."

Shui Fengqing crossed her arms and leaned into Wenguitu's ear: "Isn't it just a fortune teller? He said you were in trouble or something, and in the end let you spend money and avoid disaster...Brother, wait, he has to say Make your life bad."

His voice was not low, Mr. probably heard it, but he didn't say anything, he just continued:

"Little friend, have you ever seen the life of cicadas? They have to live in the ground for at least three to five years. They can only climb trees when they emerge from the ground and undergo metamorphosis. Even after going through such twists and turns, their life in summer, autumn and death has not seen enough of the world. All things will become empty for a lifetime."

Asking about the way home is still savoring the charm of these words, Shui Fengqing can't listen anymore: "Hey, you have something to say without cursing, my brother is a Taoist priest with a pure heart and few desires, not to mention longevity Can you live a long life? I think your fortune-telling is lying, brother, don't stop me!" Shui Fengqing shook off the hand that tugged at his sleeve, took a stick out of the stick and handed it to Mr. , and stuffed him with dozens of pennies:

"I can count too, sir, give me an explanation!"

The gentleman only looked at the face of Shui Fengqing repeatedly, and then looked at the hexagram sign. It was just a poem: "All the sages and sages in ancient times have died, but the drinkers have left their names."

Shui Fengqing raised his eyebrows, making it clear that he wanted to find fault.But the gentleman looked at him with a smile: "Young man, why don't you ask the little old man to give you a horoscope?"

On the way home, he was called Xiaoyou, but when he arrived at Shuifengqing, he became a young hero.Shui Fengqing raised his eyebrows again, raised his hand, picked up the pen and ink on the divination booth, and wrote the horoscope of birthday without hesitation.On the way home, he was so angry that he wanted to hit him, how could he just write the horoscope of his birthday casually?However, Shui Fengqing's stubborn temper came up, and he didn't care about his senior brother's eyes at all.He raised his hand and stuffed the horoscope to the gentleman, and the gentleman took a look, and his smile became more secretive: "Young hero is rich and honored, and this life is a golden house and a jade bed, spending a lot of money to splash the sky and be rich."

"Nonsense." Shui Fengqing chuckled, mocking, "Sir, you should take a good look at it, I am a Taoist priest!"

"I know." The gentleman was still smiling, but he stretched out his hand and grabbed Shui Fengqing's hand, and stuffed the hexagram gold that Shui Fengqing gave him back into his palm:

"I can't accept the hexagram gold from the young man. It's getting late, and today is the Lantern Festival, so I won't bother you little old man."

"Hey!……"

Before Shui Fengqing finished speaking, the fortune teller rolled up the tarpaulin on the ground, closed the stall and left without looking back.

"Hey, don't go!" Shui Fengqing refused to give up and wanted to catch up, and grabbed him on the way back:

"That's it, Ah Qing." Asking the way back, he rubbed his head again helplessly, "Leave a line in life, so we can meet each other in the future."

"Who wants to meet him!" Shui Fengqing struggled for the last time, but was dragged away by the sleeve when asked on the way home.

The sky was gradually getting dark, and a small building by the river was a romantic place, and it was about to become lively at this time.People put up lanterns on the river one after another, and the room with the best view along the river was reserved. During the singing and dancing, someone sat alone by the railing overlooking the night view of ten miles of lights.The evening wind blew away his clothes, and the bright red clothes moved slightly with the wind, like a ball of fire, and also like a pool of blood.

"Master."

Someone called out behind him, and the man in red turned around. It was the gentleman who was telling fortunes on the street not long ago.

"The two boys from Lingxu Jianmen, are you having fun?" The man only glanced at him, and looked at Jiang Jing again at Linfeng.The gentleman smiled lightly:

"Fate is not good."

"How bad is it?"

"One is an empty life, and the bamboo basket fetches water in vain. The other is that his fortune in this life is here. After that, he may not have good luck. We also have rules in fortune-telling. Do not accept divination gold."

"It's really miserable." The man said without sincerity, and the husband just smiled: "But that kid has a good character, and he is a wealthy man."

"It's not good to be rich and rich?"

"Is wealth a good life?"

After a moment of silence, the man in red poured his glass of wine down the railing: "It makes sense."

"Hey!"

Someone below suddenly yelled—"Who is it!! Is there any virtue? Splash water down there!...Huh? Is it wine? Wine doesn't work either!"

The man in red frowned and licked his ears with his little finger: "Which junior is so noisy." Shi Shiran looked down with one hand on the railing, but smiled lightly, turned back, and looked at the fortune teller. road:

"Ce Fengzi, I'm afraid your mouth is not open."

Ce Fengzi was startled for a moment, but immediately understood, and couldn't help laughing.The man in red only smiled slightly, and looked downstairs again.The young man who was splashed all over his face with a glass of wine by him was dragged away by his senior brother. There were more people on the street, and the two people could not be found at a glance.

The lanterns made the street red, and the girls seldom came out to play, so the cold wind in the street was full of fragrance.On the way home, he dragged Shui Fengqing to a leeward corner, reached out with a handkerchief to wipe off the alcohol all over his body, and kept chanting about him:

"If you don't know the place where you live, you have to fight with others. Why is it so insignificant?"

"Brother, you will calm things down! It's obvious... oh!"

The handkerchief directly wiped his mouth and covered it, rubbed him again on the way home, and then continued: "You have a fight with someone over a small matter of a glass of wine, don't you think it's embarrassing to say it?"

"I don't think so!"

"Tsk..." Wen Guitu glared at him, Shui Fengqing turned his head and became angry again: "Others are bullying me and you don't help me, you are still my senior brother!"

"Because it's your senior brother, so I won't help you." On the way back, he raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "If you travel alone in the rivers and lakes in the future, and you encounter such a situation again, arguing rashly with others without help, it's not a big deal if you suffer. If you really poke a big basket, you can't eat and walk around, and you won't have a place to cry!"

"It's easy," Shui Fengqing pouted and muttered, "Brother, just don't leave me alone."

"What nonsense are you talking about again?" Asked Returning Road sighed and rubbed his head, "Brother can't be with you forever."

"Then I don't care." Shui Fengqing raised his eyebrows and stared again, full of slander, "Brother, let me tell you, if you die before me, I will run out and harm the martial arts! Either people will kill you or I will kill you!" Just beat others to death, and make you angry and foaming at the bottom of the world!"

After all, it was here waiting for him.On the way home, he finally understood why Shui Fengqing was so angry today, and he was still thinking about what the fortune teller said.No more talking about the way home, stretched out his hand to hold him and squeezed into the crowd watching the lights, anyway, after a while the water and wind will naturally forget the unhappiness.

Or maybe it's not that I forgot, it's just that my brother didn't want to talk about it, so I pretended that I forgot.

The Lantern Festival can be regarded as the busiest time of the year, and it is really crowded with people.Shui Fengqing didn't know what he saw, he just bought a lantern on the way home, but when he turned around, he couldn't see anyone.

The so-called search for him thousands of times in the crowd, and he went straight to the corner of the street outside the crowd on the way home.When the two of them were young, they would go to Yinxian Town to watch the Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival.Shui Fengqing is very active, and after losing him for two years on the way home, he simply made an appointment with him, and in the future, if many people get separated, he will go directly to a place where there is no one and wait for him.Later, when he was on his way home and Guan became an adult, he gradually took over the chores of the Lantern Festival blessing ceremony, and never had the chance to play with Shui Fengqing in the town again.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, there would be another chance to lose his junior.Shui Fengqing was leaning against the brick wall, holding half of a rice flower candy in his hand, and when he saw Wen coming back, he waved to him with a smile.When he smiled, the corner of his lips was slightly raised, with a bit of scorn, like a monster who had cultivated for thousands of years in the deep mountains, finally couldn't bear his temper, and came to watch the fireworks in the world.

On the way home, he was amused by his own thought, Shui Fengqing only looked at the lantern in his hand, and laughed again: "Brother, how old are you still playing with this?"

When asked on the way home, he stuffed the lantern into his hand: "When I was a child, someone wanted to play with a lantern and didn't bring any money, so I pestered my brother to buy it. Now my brother bought him a lotus lantern, why don't I want it? I saw a little girl on the side of the road just now. The kid is clamoring for a lantern, if you don’t like it, then I’ll give it to the kid as a favor.” Asking the way back, he stretched out his hand as if to snatch the lantern back.Shui Fengqing immediately took the lantern away:

"Don't! I like it!" He handed half of his leftover rice cracker candy to Wenhuitu, "Brother, do you want to eat it? Just now I smelled this sweet and fragrant one and bought it. This is delicious Already!"

Asking about the way home, he didn't mind that it was eaten by him, so he took a bite and didn't say anything.Shui Fengqing obviously didn't have enough shopping, so he asked about the way back with a lantern in his hand:

"Brother, don't get separated from me this time, it's hard for me to find you with so many people."

Heh...reversing black and white.Asking the way back, he laughed, and decided not to argue with him, and let Shui Fengqing drag him around the Lantern Market, and slowly ate the rice cracker candy sent by his junior.

In fact, he likes sugar very much, but he rarely eats it.Maybe eating sugar is too childish, so I seldom do it gradually.Shui Fengqing wants to buy everything when he visits the lantern market, but he still has a lantern in his hand, so he always buys snacks and stuffs them on the way home after taking a bite.Asked to follow him all the way to eat all the way home, and when he came back to his senses, he had already reached the riverside and hiccupped.

"Brother, let's go..."

"Ah Qing, wait!" Seeing a grilled fish stall in front of him, Asking Tuo immediately grabbed Shui Fengqing, "I'm full!"

Shui Fengqing turned her head and blinked: "Brother, what I'm talking about is that we go to the river to release river lanterns...you even want to eat river lanterns?"

"..." On the way home, Shui Fengqing found out that apart from a lotus lantern, Shui Fengqing also had two river lanterns in his hand.When did he buy so many things? ?

"Senior brother, come quickly, while there are not many people." Shui Fengqing said hello and asked about the way back. He brought the scythe himself, lit the lamp and put it into the river.Fearing that the lantern would not float away, I gave it a ride with the wind of my palm.

"Ah Ching..."

"Senior brother! This is for you!" Shui Fengqing said back and stuffed the remaining river lantern into Wenhuitu's arms, fearing that he would rub the river lantern into pieces, Wenhuitu hurriedly took it.Shui Fengqing wanted to light the river lantern for him again, so he stepped back immediately:

"Ah Qing! He Deng wants to make a wish, have you made your wish yet!"

Shui Fengqing: "...Huh?"

The Lingxu Sword Gate is in the north, and instead of releasing river lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival, it is to release land lanterns.Start from both sides of the main road, pass through a thousand hectares of bamboo sea, and go straight to Changyun Peak, all the way is dimly lit.Such lamps are not used for making wishes, but for extradition of ghosts who have no return in the world.When the burnt-out lamps were recovered early the next morning, many of them were lost intermittently.Most of the disappeared land lamps were in places where there was no one in the bamboo sea, and they were taken away by wandering lonely souls to illuminate the road to Huangquan.

So Shui Fengqing thought it was the same thing to put the river lanterns here in Songjiang Mansion, and everything would be fine if the river lanterns were lit and let them go along the water.Asked on the way home if he couldn't hold back a laugh, and stretched out his hand to rub Shui Fengqing's head:

"There are different winds in a hundred miles, and different customs in ten miles." Asking the way back, he motioned him to look aside.Under the willow tree, a young man and woman were putting on lights. The surroundings were too noisy, and they couldn't hear what they were saying, but they could see the girl's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.A little guesswork, probably it is said that the Qin and Jin Dynasties will last forever.Shui Fengqing stared at the two people who set up the river lanterns and walked away talking and laughing, and then understood:

"Isn't releasing river lanterns to send souls?"

"Not only that, but you can also make a wish." On the way back, Wen asked to put the river lantern by the water, but he didn't push it down the river in a hurry, he just took the fire sickle in Shui Fengqing's hand and lit it, "You are quick... Anyway, brother, don't you?" It would be nice to share with each other and make a wish together with a lamp. Ah Qing, do you want to make a wish?"

He said, turning his head to look at his junior brother.The Yingying lights reflected warmth in people's eyes, Shui Fengqing's heart moved, and at this moment, he suddenly understood what Master always said, "One thought brings forth life in the world of mortals".

"Hmm..." He pretended to hesitate for a while, squatted beside his senior brother and looked at the small flames in the river lantern, and said slowly, "I see how charming Qingshan is, I guess Qingshan should be like this when he sees me."

Asked on the way home, he was still thinking about what he meant by this, but Shui Fengqing turned his head and looked at him with a smile in his eyes:

"Brother, I hope you will be No.1 in the world, live a long life, and live a fulfilling life."

Remember this thing?Asked on the way home, he smiled helplessly, and shook his head: "Ah Qing... What's wrong with cicadas." He turned to look at the candle again, "Then Mr. is right, Maemis spend most of their lives trapped underground, and it is rare for them to fly up. tree, but only those few months. That’s why the ancients always said that Mae Chan is a sad autumn. But, I don’t think so——

"Knowing that this life is like a dream, you will not give up day and night; knowing that this world has suffered so much, you will deal with it calmly. If a person can really live like a cicada in this life, he should be a saint."

What he said was quite zen, but Shui Fengqing ignored it and pushed the river lamp into the water again.

"I don't care about this," Shui Fengqing said, looking at Xiang Wen's return in a blink of an eye, with a bit of self-satisfaction in his eyes, "I want you, brother, to live forever. Didn't the gentleman say that I am rich and powerful? Maybe in the future I will become a wealthy businessman, and then I will go up the mountain to find you every day, and donate sesame oil money to our Jianmen!"

Thinking about that scene on the way home, I couldn't help laughing: "Then if you are being rich and unkind, I will teach you a lesson for Master and make you copy the house rules three hundred times!"

"No, no, how dare I not be a good person." Shui Fengqing said with a smile, "If I am unkind for the rich, disregard human life, or harm the martial arts, then let me burn my ashes and give them to you, senior brother. Throw it in the stinky ditch!"

"You're talking nonsense again!" Asked Returning, he shook his head and decided not to talk to him, "On the way here, I saw someone juggling and setting off fireworks. The stall should be closed now. Shall we go and have a look?"

"Okay!" Shui Fengqing jumped up, put his hand on the shoulders of the way home, "Let's go!"

The two river lanterns flowed down the river, and soon merged into the lights of the river ahead.The surface of the river under the moon is shining brightly, and it seems to be a long road, with no end in sight and no place to return.
