Rebirth Night Expedition Far River

Love the scenery of Lantern Festival three to five years, the moonlight is beautiful, and the lights are brilliant.

The moon is full of ice wheels, the lights burn the land and the sea, and people step on the spring sun. [note 1]

It was the Shangyuan Festival, and the streets were crowded with people, and the lights were as bright as day, and it was very lively.The child held up the sugar figurine's black eyes and turned left and right. Everything was so novel that he couldn't get enough of it.The girl took a lotus lantern from the young man, covered her face with her sleeve and smiled shyly.The old man was supported by the younger generation, and smiled kindly as he watched the children shuttle and play among the crowd.

"Moonlight Lantern Mountain is full of imperial capital, and Xiangchebao covers the pass and thoroughfare." The young man wrapped his whole body tightly, leaving only a pair of smart eyes, and sighed while looking at the bustling scene below from the window on the second floor of the inn.

"Young master, why don't you go out and have some fun? Although Xiping is a small place, the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival is very famous. Every year, many people come from far away just to see the Xiping Lantern Festival. "The waiter in the shop originally came to bring food to this young man. Seeing him sticking out his upper body and looking down, he thought he was also here for the lantern festival, so he immediately started selling him for him. Speaking of the lantern festival, he came here. He used to speak for it a lot.Seeing the young man coming here alone, he was quite careful with his words, trying not to mention those sensitive words, for fear that what he said would be inappropriate and make people sad.While speaking, he kept silently looking at the person listening to him with a smile on the opposite side.

I saw the young man wearing a worn-out jacket, a round cap and furry earmuffs, he seemed to be afraid of the cold, his whole face was huddled in a fur collar around his neck, only A pair of very clear eyes were revealed, and there was always a friendly smile in them.Every time I see Xiao Er, I will call him 'Little Brother' very gently, so Xiao Er is also willing to take care of him as much as I can.

"In Xiping's Shangyuan Festival, the most beautiful thing is the various lanterns. In Xiping, almost every household, old and young, can make lanterns. It is said that the lanterns with good craftsmanship are sold to the provincial capital and Kyoto. Sometimes they ask for the capital. Not yet." The shop clerk stood aside and gestured: "Last year, two masters, Li and Zhang, jointly made a dragon and phoenix lantern. The dragon's feet were five or six feet long, and the dragon's head was so big that dozens of people could lift it up. , the wings are so wide, oh, it’s so vivid, it seems real, the lanterns are placed on the bank of the Dongtou River, there are huge crowds of people, they are all here to see, the inner three floors and the outer three floors are surrounded for several days before they disperse, In the end, it is said that the lantern was bought by the Yue family." The waiter said this, with a bit of regret in his tone.

The boy blinked: "That's great, if only I had come a year earlier."

The waiter in the shop hurriedly said: "It's not too late, there are new tricks every year, and it's the same when you come. Besides lanterns, there are a lot of delicious food. I'm afraid that if you go out for a trip, your wallet will be flat."

The young man lowered his eyebrows: "I'm more interested in this." He sighed again: "It's a pity, I'm afraid of the cold, otherwise, I would have gone out long ago."

Xiping's place is next to the river, so it's very humid and cold in winter. He's used to days with heating and air conditioning. It is also Wenjiang who came out.

After talking with Yu Jianye that day, Wen Jiang made a travel plan. Yu Huaisheng once said that if one day he wanted to travel around the world, he hoped that he could go with him. However, everything is constantly changing. He hadn't met Xie Zheng at that time, and Yu Tong was just a background board in Yu Huaisheng's eyes, but later, Xie Zheng appeared, and Yu Tong upgraded from an unknown background board to a big stupid man who dangles in front of Yu Huaisheng all the time, Wen Jiang In his travel plan, he was the only one left.

Both Yu Jianye and Yu Tong were not at ease, but Wen Jiang believed that what Yu Jianye said was right. He came through time travel, and although he had tried his best to integrate himself into this world, he had established a relationship with both Yu Jianye and Yu Tong. Deep friendship, but deep in his heart, there is always an empty place, always reminding him that he does not belong here, and his existence is not fully accepted here.

Yu Huaisheng chose to stay, Wen Jiang chose to leave, these are their paths, it has nothing to do with right or wrong, they follow the trend.

The waiter in the shop saw his whole body wrapped up in a ball, and he felt a little funny: "Young master, do you come from the north? I heard some customers say that people there like to wear clothes made of fur for the winter. Although it is cold, it is not as wet and cold as in the south."

"Isn't that right, the river wind keeps blowing into the bones with the cold air, it's really uncomfortable." The young man sighed.

The waiter in the shop wanted to ask him why he came here, but after all, the other party was only a customer of his shop, so he didn't want to ask too many questions, so he could only remind him: "Although the festival atmosphere is good, young master should pay more attention. People are hospitable, but there are also a few people who are idle on weekdays, if they are targeted, I am afraid that there will be some troubles, young master, you still have to be more careful."

Wen Jiang has felt the care of the shop's second brother these days, so he thanked him very sincerely: "Thank you for reminding me, my second brother, I will definitely be careful."

"That's good, hurry up and eat, I'll bring you hot water earlier in the evening."

"Thank you so much, little brother, by the way." Wen Jiang got up and walked to the bed, leaned over and groped on it, and returned to the shop with a small bag in his hands to stand still: "I still have some wax gourd candies, if The second brother didn't dislike it, so he took it back, I remember that there is a five-year-old son at home, the child should like it."

"This is so embarrassing." The waiter hurriedly refused. After Wen Jiang got acquainted with him, he would often bring him some snacks. His wife's family did some small business in the city and saw a lot of food. He has never seen anything he has eaten before, and the taste is full of praise and surprises, and he has a little more speculation about the boy's background, but that bastard in his family cares more about these foods. When he returns home, he always waits at the door early, "That brat, in the past, he would run away when he saw me, but these days, he ran over from afar, Daddy, Daddy, so happy, I don't understand , he is clearly waiting for me to bring him delicious food, it's just that it's inconvenient for you to go out, young master, so you'd better keep some by your side."

Wen Jiang said with a smile: "It's just some common things, so don't worry about it. I'm used to being greedy. How could I short my share? Don't refuse my share. Today is the Lantern Festival. It should be with the family."

"Then thank you, young master." The waiter took the small bag and left with a smile.

Wen Jiang naturally kept some for himself. The winter melon candy he gave to the waiter in the shop was a kind of snack that his mother's hometown used to eat. Peel the winter melon and cut it into strips, then soak it in sugar and boil it. Sweet and delicious, and easy to store, it is really a good thing for home travel.

Before he left, he wrote a lot of food preparation methods for his family, so that after he left, the family business would not be cut off immediately. Only new ones can attract more people.

When he came out of Qingxi Village, he stayed in the Nanling Provincial Government with Yu Tongyu Huaisheng for three days, did some market research, then made some plans for the Nanling market, and bought a shop. It is remote, after all, it is a provincial capital. Although they have earned some money now, there is still a gap compared to those real wealthy businessmen, so every expense has to be carefully calculated. Although the location of the shop is a bit off, there is a small The small courtyard can be bought together, so that they also have a residence in the provincial government, so the shop is still worth the money in general, and several people are very satisfied. After the business of the shop is completed, Wen Jiang will follow Yu Tong and Yu Huaisheng separated. Before leaving, Yu Tongnian murmured and exhorted him for a long time. Later, he couldn't help regretting that he didn't want Wen Jiang to leave alone. Wen Jiang had no choice but to swear and act coquettishly. And Yu Huaisheng made all kinds of taunts and sarcasm from the side to fuel the flames, so he let him go.

Yu Huaisheng only said: "You are so worried, why don't you go with him, and I will stay in the provincial capital by myself."

After saying this, Yu Tong was stunned for a while, but he didn't immediately agree to leave with Wen Jiang, Yu Huaisheng also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but Wen Jiang pursed his lips and tried to persuade him: "Don't worry bro , I have already contacted a caravan before, and their upcoming itinerary is basically the same as mine."

Yu Tong met with the caravan leader again, talked a lot, and asked him to take care of his younger brother more. He had some relationship with the Han family, and for Yu Huaisheng's sake, he agreed repeatedly.This made Yu Tong feel at ease.

Wen Jiang and Yu Huaisheng looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Then, according to the travel notes he got from Yu Huaisheng, he started his journey. The first stop was Xiping, which is known as the city of lights in the world.

Appreciating lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, and releasing river lanterns are all must-have programs for the Shangyuan Festival. Although Wenjiang is afraid of the cold, but looking at the dots of lights on the river in the distance, he finally couldn't help but go out.

Wen Jiang shrank his neck and hid in the thick fur collar, while turning his eyes to look around. In addition to the boiling voices of people in the market, there was also the smell of hot food coming from nowhere.I touched my stomach and felt hungry again.

Bought a roasted sweet potato from the old man, Wen Jiang cupped it with both hands and said that while heating the sweet potato with his mouth, he hated it being too hot and couldn’t stop blowing on it. layer, revealing the golden part inside, before eating, the sweet aroma flowed all the way into the stomach, Wen Jiang swallowed involuntarily.

Zigu - Zigu - Hey, Wen Jiang suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, but only saw a thick tree, and the feeling of being spied on disappeared.

Probably, it was some gluttonous kid hiding behind, he thought so, and eagerly took a big bite, it was delicious!

While dangling, he walked towards the river.

There are people on the riverside, children are surrounded by adults, tiptoes trying to get the lotus lanterns held high in the hands of adults, young men and women in twos and threes squat by the river and put the lotus lanterns in their hands on the river, watching Watching it drift away with the water, there was a trace of earnest hope in his eyes.Wen Jiang stood there alone, feeling the surrounding atmosphere, the laughter, the suppressed devout wishes, the expectations for his children, the expectations for a better life for his family, slowly flowing into the distance in the light of the fire.

Wen Jiang also felt a little touch. He closed his eyes and made a wish in his heart: May his family and friends in another time and space be safe and happy, and the same is true in this era.

Feeling the warmth of the lights close to his eyelids, he trembled, wishing that he could meet Xie Zheng again...

His eyelids trembled again, but this time, Wen Jiang took a sharp step back. He felt very sure that the touch from his eyelids belonged to another person's fingertips. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were sharp. I froze there.

The young man in a gorgeous blue shirt stood opposite him, with picturesque eyes, and an awe-inspiring aura exuding all over his body, but those eyes shone with a ignorant luster like a child's.

"You smell fragrant." The young man tilted his head, took a step forward stubbornly, and stared fiercely at Wen Jiang - the pocket on his waist.

Like a hungry wolf cub.Wen Jiang thought so in his heart.
