Son

Chapter 8

Linqing saved the whole afternoon before saving the little rabbit.The rabbit was so frightened that it was huddled in his arms and didn't dare to move at the moment. Lin Qing wanted to put him on the ground, but the rabbit desperately burrowed into his arms, its small body trembling non-stop, so pitiful .

Linqing had no choice but to hold it non-stop.

He also made a nest for the little rabbit, piled it up with rags, and surrounded it with wood. Linqing hugged the little rabbit, pointed to the nest and said to it, "You sleep here from now on."

The little rabbit didn't look at it at all, its head was buried in Linqing's arms, its ears drooped, and it looked weak and pitiful.

The childlike heart of the teenager was aroused, and he played with the little rabbit all afternoon.

Shen Xu was full of sleep, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and moved slowly into the hall, "Linqing, I'm hungry..."

Linqing raised her head suddenly, only to realize that the sun had set, "Oh, I'll cook right away!"

"What are you doing?" Shen Xu looked curiously at the little thing in his arms, "What's so interesting about a rabbit."

Lin Qing blushed slightly, put the little rabbit into the newly built nest, turned and went to the kitchen.

Shen Xu squatted where Lin Qing had just squatted, stretched out a finger to poke the furry thing, the rabbit was poked by him, staggered to a firm stand, and searched into the corner.

Shen Xu poked again, the rabbit moved its small body aggrievedly, avoiding his hand, and the little hairball shivered.

Lin washed his hands, turned his head and saw that Shen Xu was bullying the rabbit, and couldn't help saying: "Don't touch it, it will be scared."

Shen Xu stared at the rabbit, "When shall we eat it?"

Lin Qing was taken aback for a moment, and immediately shouted: "Don't make any plans for it!"

Shen Xu turned an innocent face, and said as a matter of course: "Isn't Aunt Wang sending us rabbits for us to eat?"

Linqing didn't want to argue with him, "It's not allowed to eat anyway, I want to keep it."

"Ah..." Shen Xu lowered her head in disappointment, and continued to poke the little rabbit unwillingly, "I haven't eaten meat for a long time..."

Lin Qing gritted his teeth, "If you want to eat meat, I'll buy it for you, but don't move that rabbit, otherwise, or I'll fight you hard!"

Shen Xu was horrified, this little boy would fight desperately, so reckless.

But since there is meat to eat, Shen Xu is satisfied, and poked the rabbit again, "Okay, I will eat meat tomorrow."

"Okay." Lin Qing glared at him bitterly, "Don't poke it!"

The little rabbit curled up in a ball, even squinted its eyes, and was terribly frightened, Shen Xu curled his lips, and retracted his hands embarrassingly.

Lin Qing was cooking in the kitchen, while Shen Xu was warming up the fire in the hall, occasionally glancing at the dozing little rabbit, the little thing was so fluffy, I really wanted to play with it, but it was a pity that Lin Qing forbade him to touch it again, He had to express his love for the bunny by looking at it—well, the meat was too much.

With Aunt Wang's scriptures, although the meal at night is not as good as at noon, it is also much better than the previous two days.Linqing fried a cabbage, scrambled an egg, and threw a few slices of lettuce to feed the rabbit, and the two of them gathered around the table and began to eat dinner.

Villagers passed by the door from time to time, talking and laughing, not knowing where to go.Curious, Shen Xu poked his head out of the kitchen window and looked around.

The villagers glanced at this end, so they said loudly: "Young Master Shen, do you want to go to the town together?"

Shen Xu imitated him and said loudly, "What are you going to do in town?"

"Catch the temple fair! Today's Shangyuan Festival, the town is very lively!"

Shen Xu retracted her neck, "Oh!"

Seeing that he was gone, the villagers didn't know whether he was going or not, so they stood there for a while and left with their companions.

Shen Xu continued to eat, he was not interested in temple fairs.He hadn't seen any excitement in Yangzhou City before. He really wasn't that interested in temple fairs in small towns. It was freezing cold, and he would rather stay at home to keep warm.

Linqing swallowed the rice in his mouth, hesitantly said: "He invited you, why didn't you agree?"

Shen Xu said indifferently, "It's freezing outside."

Linqing glanced at him, then lowered his head to pick up the rice in the bowl.

The Shangyuan Lantern Festival, although it is only a small town, must be very lively.There was longing in Linqing's eyes, but the idiot didn't realize it at all, and was still teasing the little rabbit with his feet.

After dinner, Linqing squatted in the kitchen to pack up the food sent by the villagers, put the perishable ones together, and put the non-perishable ones together, and put the eggs in another place for fear of accidentally breaking them.

Shen Xu was still warming up by the fire in the hall, looking at the rabbit in blank dismay.

Shen Xu: "Ah, I'm a big tiger."

In the rabbit's heart: err, mother, there are bad people here, I am so scared.

Shen Xu shook his belt: "Look, come and bite, come."

Rabbit thought: Mom, this villain is still crazy.

Shen Xu teased for a while, but the little rabbit didn't respond, so he didn't bother to play with it anymore, and stared at the fire in a daze.

My mind wandered, somehow, I thought of what a villager said in the morning.

It seems that everyone has misunderstood that he and Linqing are obsessed with broken sleeves...

There was a blush on Shen Xu's face, and she felt her heart beating like a drum.

young couple...

Shen Xu's face was already slightly red, but for some reason, it turned a little redder.

Linqing was packing up the ingredients, only to hear a person passing by outside the door for a while, and another person passing by for a while, all of them were happy to go to the town, and couldn't help but feel disappointed.

I couldn't help but look outside through the crack of the window, only to see lanterns in twos and threes swimming among the villages, the villagers were walking side by side holding lanterns, talking and laughing.

Lin Qing was distracted, and only heard a familiar voice calling out: "Young master, why are you still in the house, why don't you go to the temple fair with your husband-in-law?"

Linqing smiled wryly: "No, Aunt Wang, you go."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang stuffed the child into Butcher Wang's arms, and walked towards the yard in three or two steps, shouting as she walked, "What kind of flower is this? The Shangyuan Festival is the time for family reunion. What's the point of staying at home, let's go and play in the town with us."

With that said, he opened the door and walked in.

Shen Xu was shivered by the cold wind brought in by opening the door, and said with a bitter face, "Aunt Wang, why are you here?"

Aunt Wang said: "Come here and ask you to go to the temple fair together. Where is your wife, still in the kitchen? Young master, come out, let's go."

Lin Qing walked over while wiping his hands, really dumbfounded at Aunt Wang's vigorous temperament, "Aunt Wang, we won't go, he is afraid of the cold, we'd better stay at home."

"If you're afraid of the cold, wear more. Look at you, you're a young man, why don't you know how to love your wife?" Aunt Wang educated Shen Xu, "Your wife washes and cooks for you. It's a rare Lantern Festival. You If you don't take him out for a stroll, do you feel worthy of the friendship he has always treated you?"

Shen Xu's face turned red when she said it, partly because she really found it difficult to do women's work for Linqing every day, and partly because Aunt Wang had a daughter-in-law, and she really couldn't help but get flushed all over her face.

Linqing was also too ashamed to lift her head, she opened her mouth a few times but was unable to speak.

"Let's go, let's go," Aunt Wang went over to pull Chen Xu, "If you don't walk for a while, you won't be able to catch up."

Unable to resist Aunt Wang's enthusiasm, the two took some money and went to town with the Wang family.

Butcher Wang didn't like to talk, and he held the child silently all the way, holding one in his hand, and walked ahead to lead the way.

Aunt Wang is teaching the young couple in the back.

"Tell me about you. Anyway, you moved from a big place. Why are you less funny than my guy? If I didn't pull you, are you really planning to spend the holidays with your wife at home? Let me tell you, since If you marry someone back, you should take care of them. If you can’t just throw them aside and leave them alone, look at your big brother Wang. Although he doesn’t talk much, he still loves me in his heart. Pick one and bring it back to me. You say you, stupid, why don't you know how to treat your wife better..."

Shen Xu bowed her head to be scolded, her posture was extremely respectful, but her heart was extremely aggrieved.

What a humiliation that he, a Pian Pianerlang who used to "ride a horse through Yangzhou, full of red sleeves and tricks", was reduced to the point where he was taught a lesson by a rural woman!

Lin Qing was walking beside her, biting her lip and still not daring to raise her head, her face was blushing, but her heart was full of sweetness.

After finally reaching the town, Shen Xu's ears were about to explode, and while Aunt Wang was distracted, she picked up the hair rope, dragged Lin Qing and ran away.

Shen Xu just stopped, patted his chest and said: "Huh, it is said that only women and villains are hard to raise. If you are close, you will not respect you if you are far away, and you will complain. I think Confucius must be lying. It's obviously a woman's mouth that doesn't stop, like the monks in the temple chanting scriptures, it really drives people's minds crazy."

Lin Qing didn't know what expression to make, "What should I do now?"

Shen Xu said: "Since you're here, let's take a stroll." His tone was half helpless and half indifferent.

During the Lantern Festival, the small town is decorated with lights and festoons, and pedestrians on the street rub shoulders together, forming a bustling flow of people.The streets are full of small stalls, some for food and novelties, earrings, hairpins, and accessories are all hung in a line, and the cold wind blows and jingles.

Without squinting, Shen Xu followed the crowd slowly.Lin Qing was walking a little to his left, his eyes were attracted by the things on the booth, he walked and looked all the way, occasionally pulling a distance from Shen Xu, and then hurriedly followed, very much like a little boy following his husband out to enjoy the festival daughter in law.

Someone yelled: "Knot with one heart, lock with one heart, this young man can bring one to your little lady."

Shen Xu smiled, noncommittal, and walked straight past.

Lin Qing glanced at the straight knot, pursed his lips, and hurriedly followed Shen Xu's pace.

The crowd gradually gathers under the lantern tower. The one-foot-high lantern tower is made up of a pillar and eight light ropes. The lantern ropes are full of lanterns with different postures and bright golden light. The top one is even more exquisite. The carvings are intricate and shining.

Under the lantern building, lion dancers, dragon dancers, and stilt walkers danced and danced, cheering.There are three circles of lanterns around the lantern building, each circle is eight feet apart, for tourists to walk among them, enjoy the lanterns and guess riddles.

Shen Xu stepped forward, stepped into the crowd happily, looked back at Lin Qing, and motioned for him to follow.

The two walk side by side among the lanterns, and you can see all kinds of lanterns. There is a small note hanging under the lanterns, and the lantern riddles are written. Report the answer, and if you guess correctly, you can not only get a lantern, but also get a corresponding lottery according to the difficulty of the riddle.

Looking at Shen Xu, those riddles are not difficult to guess, just like on the left side "Untie the three autumn leaves, you can bloom February flowers. Cross the river with a thousand layers of waves, and enter the bamboo with ten thousand poles", or on the right side "A piece of two Three or four pieces, fly into the forest and disappear", the answer to the mystery is obvious.However, there are few scholars in this remote town, and everyone is scratching their heads and ears at the lantern riddles, really distressed.

Lin Qing stared at the lantern riddle with only three characters on its face for a while, then caught up with Shen Xu, and asked in a low voice: "Just now, what did you guess?"

Shen Xu smiled, "Can't you guess?"

Lin Qing blushed, and whispered more and more, "I figured it out and asked you why."

"Have you ever read "Three Kingdoms"?"

"I only heard that Mr. Shu said something."

Shen Xu stopped and analyzed with him seriously: "Look, the word 'go to Maicheng' indicates that Guan Gong was defeated by Maicheng, captured by Sun Quan, and finally killed in Linju. Guan Yu was killed, and that 'Yu' Combining the word with the word 'pawn', the answer to the riddle won't come out?"

Lin Qing thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized: "But the word 'cui'?"

Shen Xu smiled without saying a word.

Linqing's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said, "Now that you have guessed it, let's take off the lanterns and exchange them."

Shen Xu lacked interest, and guessed that in this remote village, no matter how good the prize is, it would be nothing more than that.Smiling, he stepped forward again.

Lin Qing followed a few steps, bit his lips, and ran back along the same path, and told the manager to take down the lantern he had just fancy, carefully hugged it in his arms, and Teng Teng chased after Shen Xu again.

Shen Xu walked around and guessed almost all the riddles. She could almost know the answer with just a few scans. She shook her head, but she couldn't reach Yangzhou City Eleven.

Then I wanted to move to watch the lion dance, but when I turned around, I saw Linqing was holding a lantern in his arms, looking at him eagerly, the white paper hanging under the lantern was written "Go to Maicheng, type one word" .

Shen Xu smiled, "Is that all you want for that lottery?"

Lin Qing just felt ashamed, didn't nod or shake his head, just stood there stiffly, like a stubborn kid who couldn't get candy.

Shen Xu smiled, "Forget it, just change it if you want, no matter how bad it is, it's not bad to get a lantern to hang back."

Lin Qing immediately smiled, hugged the lantern and said, "En."

Looking at his flawless smiling face, Shen Xu couldn't help being distracted.

Against the background of the lanterns, the young master's jade-like face seemed to be covered with a layer of soft powder, which was actually more beautiful and moving than that of a woman.The long black jade-like hair was pulled back lazily, soft and fluffy, as if it wanted to warm the bottom of my heart.

Shen Xu turned her head away, a flash of panic flashed in her eyes, and the demeanor she was talking about just now disappeared completely, leaving behind the fluttering heart in her chest.

The author has something to say: Lantern riddles originated from the Song Dynasty, and this article is set in the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty...so please ignore this bug...
