After the rebirth, I was picked up by the prince

At Xu time, the sky turned dark.The long and warm yellow lights are gradually lit up in the streets and alleys, and the stalls of the evening temple fair have gradually come to the place of the morning market.

The annual excitement is about to begin.

"Second brother, then I'll go first!"

Qi Zizhen stood at the gate of Wei Mansion, and waved to Wei Lingyin who sent him out.

He put on a relatively thick sky blue long gown, embroidered with a lot of lively flower and bird patterns on the hem, commensurate with the bird pattern blue background and white border mask on his face, reflecting his cheerful smile, in the endless night Dip in for a touch of bright color.

Wei Lingyin also smiled and waved to him, and told him by the way: "Be careful, I will meet you later."

"Okay." Qi Zizhen smiled back, then turned and headed towards the market.

The town of Xinan has become lively. Adults and children are wearing masks, and most of the clothes on their bodies are styles that they seldom wear. They are free to enjoy the unique time that only comes once a year.

On the way to the market, Qi Zizhen also saw many familiar children passing by him, but none of them could recognize him yet.

According to the rules that the children fumbled for before, he could not take the initiative to find a child, nor could he intentionally act in front of a certain child that might reveal his identity.

Qi Zizhen is also happy to play with them, after all, this is an event that only happens once a year, and he also likes to see the children passing by him while looking for him.

He stretched lazily, after thinking about it, he decided to go for a stroll by the moat first.

During the temple fair, all kinds of lanterns are hung on the trees beside the moat, and they are connected together by the river bank. It is a unique sight, and you can see it once a year.

The temple fair just started at this moment, and there were not many people by the moat, and here and there I could see a few people who came to watch the lanterns when it was deserted.

Qi Zizhen walked aimlessly around the moat for half a circle, and was going to go to the market after roughly shopping around.

But at this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a small figure squatting on the bank of the river.

What kid came here to think about life?

Looking at the child's back, Qi Zizhen felt vaguely familiar, but it seemed different.

It should be a child from a family that you don't have much contact with, right?

Although he likes to play with the children in the town, it is impossible to know everyone after all. After thinking for a while, he decided to go there.

"Little baby, why are you sitting here alone?" Qi Zizhen went straight to sit next to the child, startling the child beside him.

The child subconsciously moved to the side, but stopped when he turned his head to meet the smile in Qi Zizhen's eyes, pursed his lips and stared at him without saying a word.

Qi Zizhen thought he was afraid that he was a bad person, so he smiled even more harmlessly: "Which family are you from? I'll take you back. There will be more people by the moat later. You sit here alone. dangerous."

The child stared at him fixedly, and the mask on his face was reflected with a warm light.After a while, he turned his head and said in a muffled voice, "I'm not a kid from any family. I came here to play with my brother, but I got separated accidentally."

The slightly low voice overshadowed some parts that should have been crisp, and Qi Zizhen felt familiar to him, but the child said that he was not from the town, so it probably happened to be more similar to a child's voice.

He didn't think much, and asked with a smile: "Then do you remember where you got separated?"

The child nodded and replied softly, "In the market."

Qi Zizhen raised his eyebrows: "The distance between the market and the moat is not close, why did you come here?"

Hearing this question, the child lowered his head, feeling more guilty in frustration: "I originally wanted to find my brother, but I accidentally...run away."

Qi Zizhen finally understood the situation, raised his hand and rubbed the child's head, and said with a helpless smile: "If you get separated, remember to wait in place now, it is easy to cause accidents if you run around like this, you understand?"

The child nodded obediently, his voice still muffled: "I see."

Considering that the child should be in a bad mood at the moment, Qi Zizhen didn't say anything more, stood up and patted the hem of the clothes stained with grass, then stretched out his hand to the child, and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you to Look for your brother at the market."

Against the warm yellow of the lanterns on the tree, he seemed to be plated with a faint yellow edge, which made the smile on his face more gentle.

The child was stunned for a moment before placing his hand in his palm, and it felt a little cool when he touched it.

Seeing his stupefied look, Qi Zizhen couldn't help laughing and teasing: "You're so good, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy who will arrest you and sell you?"

The child tilted his head and blinked, and suddenly showed a bright smile: "Don't be afraid. My brother is definitely not a bad person."

The bottom of the pure and clean eyes is full of trust.

Qi Zizhen was so cute that he couldn't help reaching out and brushing his soft hair, then he pulled him up, patted the stain on the back of his clothes, and then took him to the market.

At this moment, the stalls in the market are basically set up, and there are many people coming and going, and there are lively laughter and laughter everywhere.

The child is a foreigner, and it is the first time to participate in such a temple fair, and he keeps looking around, feeling very novel about everything.

The matter of finding family members is not something that can be rushed at once. Qi Zizhen smiled when he saw the child's appearance, and asked him: "You must have been squatting by the river for a long time, are you hungry? There are a lot of things to eat here , if you have anything you want to eat, you can tell me."

The child's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he pointed to a small stall not far away and said, "I want to eat that!"

Qi Zizhen didn't expect the child to be so rude, so he couldn't help laughing a few times before saying, "Okay, brother, please try the food at our temple fair."

After that, he took the child and walked over, and asked the aunt at the stall to ask for a small package of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

The aunt usually knew Qi Zizhen very well, and she recognized his voice after he spoke, and asked with a smile while cutting the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, "Is it Xianyun? Come to buy cakes again."

Qi Zizhen rolled his eyes and smiled back: "It seems that the aunt is better at recognizing people than those children. I picked up a child from other places by the river and got separated from his family. I bought this for him."

It was only then that the aunt noticed that there was a child beside Qi Zizhen, and the child smiled shyly when he met her gaze, and said crisply, "Hello, aunt."

Polite and sensible children are always very pleasing, the aunt couldn't help but feel soft, cut a small piece of osmanthus cake, wrapped it and handed it to Qi Zizhen: "This child is so pitiful, I won't charge you for this osmanthus cake gone."

Qi Zizhen immediately wanted to refuse: "Don't, I've acknowledged your affection before, so I'm sorry if I don't pay you any more."

Seeing that he didn't pick it up, the aunt handed it to the child again, and said with a smile: "This is my gift for the child. What are you refusing? Come, take it, and take it as a welcome gift to Xinan Town" Yes. I wish you to find your family soon."

The child seemed a little overwhelmed, and looked up at Qi Zizhen.

Qi Zizhen knew that the aunt was determined to give it away, so she said helplessly, "Take it, it is also the aunt's wish."

The child who got permission took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake given by the aunt, and thanked crisply: "Thank you, aunt!"

"It's all right." The aunt smiled and waved her hand, "It's a good thing you met Xianyun. He usually plays well with the children in our town. If you really can't find it, you and your brother Xianyun will go find someone else." Children help. Those little guys are ghosts and ghosts, and they will definitely help you find your family."

"Well, I see. Goodbye aunt!" The child smiled sweetly and waved goodbye to auntie.

Qi Zizhen also said goodbye to the aunt, led the child and continued to walk forward, found a place to rest and sat down, let the child eat some osmanthus cake first.

The child ate happily, and on the way he did not forget to give half of it to him: "Brother eats too!"

"Okay." Qi Zizhen took it with a smile, picked up a small piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and bit it lightly. The mouth was full of sweet-scented osmanthus aroma and sweetness. He couldn't help but sigh, "This cake is still so delicious, auntie."

The child just swallowed the piece in his mouth, and responded: "Little... I think it's delicious too!"

Qi Zizhen patted the child's head: "Then you eat more, you won't be able to eat it when you leave here."

"En!" The child nodded heavily, and asked again as if thinking of something after eating for a while, "By the way, is brother Xianyun?"

Qi Zizhen nodded: "Wei Xianyun, you can also call me Brother Xianyun like other children. What's your name?"

Hearing his question, the child bit off a piece of pastry and said with a smile after eating, "I won't tell brother Xianyun~"

Qi Zizhen didn't expect him to answer like this, so he chuckled and didn't continue to ask.

But the child seemed to be very interested in his affairs, and asked again: "Is brother Xianyun very popular in Xinan Town? I heard from my aunt, I seem to like brother Xianyun very much."

Speaking of this kind of topic, Qi Zizhen was modest for a while: "It's okay, almost half of the people in the town have a good relationship with me."

The child could hear the joke in his tone, and didn't take his words to heart, but there was a little more emotion in his eyes that Qi Zizhen didn't notice: "Then brother Xianyun must be very happy living here, right? Everyone here is very happy. Good, there are a lot of delicious food!"

Hearing what the child said, Qi Zizhen smiled lightly again, and said with emotion: "Because the town is small. It's a small place. Everyone in the town basically knows each other, and life is sometimes bigger than a bustling place." The town is more comfortable and happier."

The child didn't know if he understood. He ate the last osmanthus cake in his hand, and inadvertently glanced at the crowd in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Ah! I seem to see my brother!"

"Huh?" Qi Zizhen followed the child's line of sight to look into the crowd, and it seemed that there was indeed a man who seemed to be looking for someone.

He conveniently packed up the paper wrapped osmanthus cake and patted the child's head: "Then you go there quickly, don't get lost next time."

The child stuck out his tongue, got up and happily slid into the crowd.

Qi Zizhen watched the child run into the crowd, approaching the man in orange clothes, shook his head helplessly and smiled, got up and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, the clear and clear voice of the child pierced through the laughter and laughter in the crowd, and passed directly into his ears——

"Brother Jin! Xiao Shi is here!"

Qi Zizhen was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly raised his head to look in the direction where the child ran just now.

Just at this time, the man turned around, caught a child who was flying towards him, and rubbed the child's head as if he was relieved, with a gentle voice: "Where did you go? Didn't you say that there are too many people at night and don't run around? "

"Hey, I'm sorry."

"If you still mess around like this next time, I won't take you out."

"..."

The familiar gentle voice was extremely clear in the noisy crowd.

Qi Zizhen knew that he should turn around and leave at this time, but for some reason he just couldn't move and stared fixedly at the people in the distance.

At this moment, Song Yaoxu seemed to be aware of something, raised his eyes to look in his direction, met his gaze, and smiled gently at him.

Under the warm yellow light, the tall and slender bright orange figure stood upright among the crowd coming and going, bright and dazzling, as if blocking all the hustle and bustle around at once, leaving only the softness and warmth.

...Holy shit, what a coincidence?
