Son

The two walked to the desk under the lamp building, Lin Qing handed over the paper, and whispered: "The answer to the mystery is 'Cui'."

The chief stroked his beard and smiled: "By the way, the young master looks very young and has a lot of knowledge. This riddle is the most difficult one among the lanterns. I thought that no one could win the first prize, but I didn't expect to be asked by the young master." Guessed it."

Lin Qing couldn't help looking at Shen Xu, who stood tall, with a calm face, without a trace of arrogance.

Linqing couldn't help but hugged the lantern in his arms tightly.

Li Chang got up and took down the top gift box from the shelf where the lottery was placed, "This is the first lottery, young master put it away."

"Thank you, Chief." Lin Qing took it, and couldn't help opening it to look.

Inside the long box lies a hairpin quietly, the whole body is carved from black jade, crystal clear, pure and flawless, the end is slightly curled inwards, like a green bamboo, it just fits the answer to the mystery, with a simple beauty.

Li Chang said: "This is my private collection, it's called 'Youzhi', you might as well give it to your sweetheart, young master."

Shen Xu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Zhizhisiqian, Youyou Nanshan, a good name."

The chief's eyes fell on Shen Xu, and he praised: "Unexpectedly, this young man is also a man of insight. He has never seen him before, but he is new to this town."

Shen Xu waved his hands, and said, "No, it's just a rural man who knows a few more words."

The head of the village looked at him with a little deep meaning, nodded, and didn't go into it further.

Linqing looked at the jade hairpin with unstoppable love in his eyes, but then thought that Shen Xu had guessed the riddle correctly, hesitated for a while, and said: "Give it to you."

Shen Xu smiled, "You can keep it, when will you see a man using a jade hairpin?" Suddenly he smiled again, took the hairpin and put it on Lin Qing's head, saying goodbye, "It suits you very well."

Linqing lowered her head, her face was as hot as a fire.

Under the colorful lights, the noisy people around gradually faded away, leaving only two figures facing each other, one with a smile on his mouth, and the other biting his thin lips lightly, as if all the brilliance between heaven and earth made a pair of people, Jun Fang was young , don't lose your years.

I don't know how long I stood there before the voice of the people who had gone away slowly reached my ears, Lin Qing's eyes were still glistening, but she heard Shen Xu say: "Go and see the lion dance."

Saying goodbye to the chief, Lin Qing carried the lantern and went to the stage side by side with Shen Xu.

A song Bianwen is being sung on the stage, which is about the popular "Ancient Mirror", and the storyteller is vividly talking about the protagonist Wang Du using the ancient mirror he got from the Marquis of Fenyin to make the fox demon and the big snake The ghosts show their original shape one by one, eradicate the epidemic, and the excerpts are widely loved by the people. When it comes to the highlights, the expression changes several times, and the tone is ups and downs. , so thrilling.

Linqing was fascinated by holding the lantern.

The storyteller raised his voice and said: "Then I saw that the waves and torrents were tens of feet high, and they reached the place where I crossed. Then I climbed to the big platform and looked around the caves. Walking through the valley at night, I walked a hundred steps and walked in all directions. The light is penetrating, and every detail can be seen, and the birds in the forest are frightened and fly around."

The audience below all showed horrified expressions, and Lin Qing's heart rose to her throat.

The storyteller said again: "Healed from the illness. Later, he searched for the truth and went to Lushan Mountain, where he whirled for several months, or lived in a long forest, or slept in the grass. Tigers and leopards follow each other, and jackals and wolves follow each other. Looking at it with a mirror, there is no one who is not hiding."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief again, and Lin Qing followed suit.

Turning her head, she saw Shen Xu looking at herself with a smile, as if joking.

Only then did he realize that he had seen all the shock just now, Lin Qing hurriedly turned her head away, twisted her clothes with her hands, and said nothing.

Shen Xu shook his head with a smile, feeling in his heart that Shaoerlang is Shaoerlang, and he was so fascinated by hearing a legend.

"Let's go, the lion dance is almost over." Shen Xu said.

Linqing flicked the hem of his clothes and hurriedly followed.

Lion Lang tied his head with red cloth, wiped his forehead with cinnabar, wore painted clothes, and held a red brush. He was so energetic!The lion is eight feet long, colorful and festive, with a lifelike lion head and a pair of fine eyes that seem to have aura.Several lion boys danced the lion in tacit understanding. With the beat of the drum, they rose up, rose up, stepped forward, scratched, and performed the lion's joy, anger, drunkenness, wakefulness, and play to the extreme. , After landing, the crowd of onlookers erupted into warm applause.

Shen Xu couldn't help clapping and shouted, "Okay!"

Linqing was a head shorter than him, being blocked by the crowd, unable to see the wonderful things, so anxious to jump on the spot.

Shen Xu gave him a funny look, pulled him in front of her, and pointed at the gap between the two of them, "Can you see it this way?"

Lin Qing nodded, and whispered, "I can see it."

After the lion performer holding a hydrangea appeared on the stage, the performance became more and more exciting. I saw the lion toss up and down with the hydrangea. The lion performer did several backflips in a row, and the lion followed him over the set up wooden bench. The audience applauded again.

The two watched the lion dance for a while, and then turned to watch the stilt stepping.It wasn't until the middle of the moon, when the temple fair gradually came to an end, that the two of them moved back home.

Aunt Wang's family didn't know where they were for a long time ago, so they gave up after searching for it but couldn't find it.Fortunately, I have walked through it several times, and I still remember the way back, so I won't get lost.

Under the cold moonlight, after a short walk, you can meet the villagers returning home, all talking about the excitement just now, so excited.

Linqing was also throbbing in his heart, still reminiscing about the wonderful scene of the fisherman on stilts fighting with the mussel.

Since childhood, he learned from a teacher, except for practicing the piano, he composed music every day. The master disciplined him very strictly, and he rarely had the opportunity to play outside. After entering Shen's residence, he even stayed at home. He was like a cat in the courtyard prison bird.

At this time, I know how novel and free the outside world is.

Linqing still couldn't get enough of it, humming the qin music softly, feeling very comfortable in her heart.

When Shen Xu heard it, she raised her eyebrows and said, ""Yangchun Baixue"?"

Lin Qing tuned in immediately, and said shyly, "Yes."

heard by him...

Shen Xu sighed: "It's almost the ninth day of the lunar new year, the year is over..."

Linqing was brought out a little bit of emotion, everyone said that time flies, and the time of new peach and old talisman is the most obvious.

I can't help but wonder, at this time next year, can I still spend the festive season with this person... What will it be like then...

Shen Xu turned around and smiled at him, "I forgot to eat Yuanxiao today."

Lin Qing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled too.

The envoys of the Yuan Dynasty and the villagers piled up three bowls of Yuanxiao, but neither of them thought of it.

"Go back and cook something to eat, it's also a holiday." Linqing said.

"Okay, after shopping for a long time, I happen to be a little hungry." Shen Xu rubbed his stomach, raised his head, and saw the emerald green hairpin in Linqing's hair. Cold fireflies, different kind of crystal clear.

Shen Xu said, "This hairpin looks great on you."

Lin Qing froze in place.

After a while, the blush that steamed up again made him wish he could run away, so that the man could not see his embarrassing yet sweet expression.

fool.

Everyone knows that at this moment, this scene, this person's words, like a vixen who can capture people's hearts and souls, will suck the energy, and make people feel unhappy.

The path in the field is rugged, the moonlight is clear, and there is no sound.

Linqing was carrying a lantern, illuminating the square inch of land at his feet. The lantern depicted a peony and a full moon.

This flower, this lamp, this moment, this scene, this person, and this word are just right.

Walking slowly all the way, every step seems to be stepping on the clouds, floating and floating, I just feel that everything is so beautiful that it is almost unreal.

Lin Qing glanced secretly at Shen Xu who was beside him, that person was at ease, with a calm expression on his face, and every step he took was firm and casual.

After Linqing looked at it a few times, his heart began to beat uncontrollably again.

The man's hand was hanging by his side, almost touching his hand as he walked.

Linqing stared at the gap between his hands, getting closer and further away, whether to touch or not, his heart fluctuated with the distance.

The villagers who walked back home all walked with their families, so uncomfortable. Lin Qing and Shen Xu were sandwiched between them, as if they were also one of them. Thinking of this, Lin Qing couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth , carefully hiding the warmth in my heart.

When he was about to get home, Lin Qing suddenly thought of something, and said to Shen Xu, "Aren't you afraid of the dark?"

Shen Xu was taken aback.

Suddenly it occurred to the two of them that they had walked for half an hour at night!

The calm demeanor disappeared in an instant, and Shen Xu, like a cat with fried fur, jumped behind Lin Qing, hiding only half of his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Quick, go home."

Linqing: "..."

Useless is a scholar!

Even forgetting what he is afraid of, Linqing really doubts whether he is really afraid of the dark or just pretending to be pitiful!

For the last part of the journey, Linqing almost looked at him with disgust as he walked home.

As soon as she entered the house, Shen Xu hurriedly lit the lamp, and the candlelight illuminated the simple wooden house, and Shen Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

Linqing went to look at the little rabbit first, the rabbit was also good, it didn't run or make trouble, it just stayed in its nest and squinted its eyes to doze off.Linqing threw a vegetable leaf to it, and the little rabbit didn't move, sleeping soundly.

"Linqing, I'm hungry—"

"Hush," Linqing gestured to him, pointed to the rabbit in the nest, and whispered, "It's asleep, don't wake it up."

Shen Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she really raised a rabbit as a child.

Linqing lightly cooked two bowls of Lantern Festival and brought them to the hall, only to see Shen Xu trembling with her arms folded.

Linqing glanced at the brazier, "Don't you know how to make a fire?"

"No." Shen Xu said honestly.

Don't you know how to learn?Everything is waiting for him to do, someday he will not be free, is this idiot going to freeze himself to death or starve himself to death?

Linqing glared at him angrily, went to the kitchen to get flint, and lit a fire in two or three.

Shen Xu was eating deliciously with the Lantern Festival, and praised: "Linqing, you are amazing."

"It's not that I'm good, it's that you are too useless." Lin Qing said without changing his expression.

Shen Xu grunted dissatisfiedly, and stuffed another Lantern Festival into his mouth.

Although the mumbling sound was small, it still floated into Linqing's ears.

"I'm useless, I didn't win the hairpin on your head."

Lin Qing turned his head to touch the charcoal fire, the fire light reflected on his face, reflecting the slightly raised corners of his mouth.

Holding the warm Lantern Festival in his hand, he couldn't help looking at the jade plate outside the window.

The lanterns are far away, and I hope to win the pity of the king.

Lin Qing was fascinated by the sight, and he lightly parted his thin lips, silently reading the good stories written by the man.

The trees and silver flowers are in harmony, and the bright moon comes one by one.

The author has something to say:
