Yan Xiao's Strange Records

Chapter 40 The Lantern Chapter

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the willows are full of smoke.It coincides with the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Yanyin's annual Lantern Festival, and the capital is crowded with people, making it very lively.

Su Heng and his party shuttled through the streets of the busy city.I saw dozens of lamp stands on both sides of the street, glass vases reflecting beautiful women and strange flowers, snowflake lamps were blowing one after another, hydrangea lamps were bright and bright, surrounded by shoppers, Zongjiao children were riding on their father's neck with lanterns, giggling Smiling, the mother gently wiped the sweat for the husband.

The dancers went up to the tall building together, their heads full of pearls and emeralds, their phoenix hairpins half removed, their enchanting colors, waving the fragrant handkerchiefs in their hands, attracting those beauty hunters to look around frequently. My own man scolded him all the time.

The storyteller in the teahouse, with red mouth and white teeth, was still narrating the strange case solved by Yanyin's cold-faced policeman Su Heng the day before yesterday, holding his posture, imitating Su Heng's tone, while playing the role of A Yin, a descendant of Miaojiang, twisting his orchid finger She acted like a woman, and she had a decent appearance, which made the audience burst into laughter——

For a moment, the whole Yanyin was full of flowers, flowers, willows and greenery, and cars and horses were blocked. The group of people watching were dazzled.

"Like you?" Xiaoqi teased Su Heng who was beside him. Su Heng looked at the storyteller, smiled helplessly, and continued to follow behind Yi Xingyun, fearing that he would be bumped by the crowd, and he was also worried. He searched all over the palace. There is no trace of "Lingxu Jade" in the dossier.

Since the Lingxu Jade was made by a human craftsman, his descendants must be found to carve another piece of Lingxu Jade.

Otherwise, Yi Xingyun's cold poison will become more and more frequent, he is already weak.Thinking of this, Su Heng's face became more and more ugly.

Seeing that Su Heng didn't respond, Xiaoqi was bored, so she saw a group of people gathered together, she looked around, and saw that it was a booth for betting and playing, she pulled Ye Lansheng and went to it, saw the dice, and looked around. Her hands are itchy, and she can't wait to play a couple of them.

Yi Xingyun lightly touched the lantern, which was painted with Meiyue Shuangjie, icy muscles and jade bones, blooming in the wind, and he liked it very much.

He turned his head and wanted to share the joy with Su Heng, but saw Su Heng holding the sword in both hands, his expression was cold and gloomy, and he had no joy of the festival.

He curled his lips helplessly, I really don't know what he was thinking and put himself aside, he had a cold face.

"Is there any lantern you like, little gentleman? Buy one and put the name of the person you like on it and put it in the moat. If that person finds it, it will be a good pair." The old man who sold the lantern said with a smile.

Yi Xingyun didn't say a word, but just stared straight at the Aomei blooming in the wind, and couldn't move his eyes away for a while.Su Hengfang came to his senses, just now he was only thinking of countermeasures, forgetting that they were still in the busy city.

"Old man, take down that orchid lantern." Su Heng looked at Yi Xingyun in a daze, staring at the lantern motionlessly, and he was definitely pleased.So he paid the silver directly and held the lantern in front of Yi Xingyun. "How do you know I have someone in mind?

Isn't it a waste to buy it for nothing? "Yi Xingyun blamed him, his heart was like eating honey, Su Heng really cared about him.

Su Heng said with a smile: "Then write about your family and bless their well-being."

Before Su Heng could finish speaking, Yi Xingyun had already dipped his pen and ink on the surrounding desks, and began to write with Su Heng on his back. Su Heng was about to step forward, but before he got close, he heard Yi Xingyun's words.

"Peeping into other people's thoughts is not for a gentleman."

Su Heng only thought Yi Xingyun's actions were funny. Could it be that he also believed that what the lamp seller said would be picked up by his sweetheart, so what's the use of the Xianjun who is in charge of the red line.

After Yi Xingyun finished writing the note, he put it in carefully, his face inexplicably brightened, and he held the lantern tightly in his hand, being extremely careful.

Su Heng saw that Yi Xingyun's cheeks were reddish and his nose was straight.More and more cute.Before he could react, Yi Xingyun had disappeared, and suddenly felt inexplicably lost.

Turning around and seeing a touch of pale yellow standing on the bridge, Su Heng followed directly to the bridge without even thinking about it.

I saw Yi Xingyun squatting by the river and setting up lanterns, the lights shone vaguely on his jade-like cheeks, and his thin shirt made him look thin.Su Heng only felt that somewhere in his heart was beating violently, as if it was about to break through his chest.

The lantern was floating on the river, when suddenly a strong wind blew up on the lake, causing waves on the river, most of the lanterns sank, Yi Xingyun's also dangled, and it looked like it would sink in a while.

Yi Xingyun was at a loss what to do, seeing that the lantern was about to topple over, he felt so anxious that he wanted to get into the water before he could take off his shoes and socks.

Su Heng suddenly felt a breeze blowing by his ears, and Su Heng skimmed across the water from the bridge, picked up the lantern that was about to sink, and landed on the shore in a blink of an eye.

"Your lantern is flooded." Su Heng stood directly in front of Yi Xingyun. The two of them were close enough to each other to see the beads of sweat on the tip of each other's noses.

"Thank you." Yi Xingyun's ears were so red that he was about to bleed.Awkwardly, he turned his face away, only to feel that Su Hengying was so aggressive that he was about to suffocate him.

Su Heng smiled, and took out the note in the lantern, only to see that it said "Linglong dice and red beans, I don't know if I miss you deeply." The row of small characters below was soaked by the river and could not be seen.

"You brought it, but it's not for you." Yi Xingyun snatched it up, with a sharp tongue, and never forgot to ridicule Su Heng, for fear that he would know what was on his mind.

"It seems that you already belong to yourself. I don't know which girl is so lucky. Mr. Yi would rather give up his life to pick up this falling water lantern." Su Heng looked at Yi Xingyun's unpredictable expression.

"Don't meddle in your own business, she must be a girl who is ashamed of the moon, she is ten thousand times better than you, the elm lump."

Yi Xingyun hugged the lantern like a baby, but the lantern was already submerged in water, and he was afraid that he would never be able to enter the water again.

Suddenly I remembered what the old man said: "Buy one and put the name of the person you like on it and put it in the moat. If that person finds it, it will be a good couple." Could it be that Liberty and Su Heng really have that marriage line?It's just that he doesn't know how much that elm lump has true feelings for him.

Yi Xingyun was secretly delighted, but he heard Su Heng's lukewarm remarks, "Of course I can't compare with the girl in your heart, I only hope that Ayun treats me like a brother."

This statement made Yi Xingyun's heart a little colder. It turned out that Su Heng only regarded himself as a brother, and treated him like Duke Zhou, and even threatened to disregard the worldly eyes. He was coerced by Xiao Qi and the others to marry him.

Su Heng didn't notice Yi Xingyun's strangeness, and thought that maybe he could go to King Shu to ask. There are countless treasures in King Shu's mansion, and there must be records in the "Lingxu Jade" file.Looking at Yi Xingyun again, seeing him staring at him sadly, he turned his head and left.

"Hey——" Su Heng hurriedly followed Yi Xingyun, not knowing why he ignored him, looking at himself with a distant look, could it be that he did something wrong again?

A man's heart is really hard to predict. When his father comes back, he must propose to Yi Xiang as soon as possible, and get married as soon as possible so that this little fool won't ask for a marriage line, and let his marriage line be firmly in his own hands.Thinking of this, Su Heng raised the corners of his mouth, and imprisoned Yi Xingyun in his arms in two or three steps.

"Big and big must be big!" I saw a little girl in military uniform sitting among a group of big men, she was staring at the dice intently, it was Xiao Qi and a group of gamblers, openly gambling in the downtown.With a carefree look, there are daughters who are half-feeling.

"One, three, five, I'm sorry for being objective." A burly man opened the bet, looking at Xiao Qi with a thief.

Xiao Qi looked dissatisfied and angry, and didn't know what kind of bad luck he had suffered today. He opened more than a dozen rounds in a row and lost a mess. He came here with great enthusiasm, but now he is disheartened.

But the desire to win and lose has already occupied her mind, she just wants to win at this moment, and wipe away the previous displeasure.

"Xiaoqi, let's go. I lost more than a dozen games today. If your wife finds out, I will be miserable."

Ye Lansheng shook his head and pulled Xiao Qi. Seeing that the money in the money belt was getting less and less, he wanted to go to "Qin Gongyue" to have some drinks. At that time, his gambling addiction was rampant, and taking him to gamble here made him lose interest.

He weighed the few silver taels left in his hand, and was still thinking, maybe the silver taels in his hand were enough to buy a few boxes of Xianglinji pastries, but he snatched the money bag from his hand with lightning speed.

Xiao Qi put the entire purse on the table, and said, "No, I must win it all back. I don't believe it's such a bad luck today. The shopkeeper will continue to open it."

Xiaoqi also put the nine-section whip that he carried with him on the gambling table, and stepped on the stool as if he was sure to win. The boss of the gambling shop was overjoyed when he saw that he had been taken advantage of, and his eyes were cross-cocked. , squinted into a crack with a smile, and continued to bet for Xiao Qi.

Ye Lansheng looked at the empty palm, and leaned helplessly on the pillar, his stomach was like thunder. He knew that his junior sister was so unreliable, and they could have a full meal with Su Heng.

Seeing that the game was about to start, all the people held their breath and stared at it intently.

"Big, big—" Xiao Qi couldn't help but muttered, the owner of the gambling shop smiled slyly.

"Two, three, four, little girl, I'm still going home to embroider or something, what kind of gambling is the girl doing, she's unlucky!"

Xiaoqi was furious when he heard the words, it must be that the gambling shop owner has done something, he grabbed the gambling shop owner by the collar: "Damn you fat man, did you do something?"

When the gamblers saw their boss being grabbed by a little girl, all of them showed menacing eyes.

"Junior Sister, let go quickly, we'll just be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, these people are kind people." Ye Lansheng said in a low voice.

Xiao Qi was so unreasonable, and was about to pick up a whip to teach the casino owner a lesson, when a group of people came out of nowhere and squeezed Xiao Qi and the others into a mess, only to hear someone Shouting loudly: "The dead are the dead!"

"Dead, dead..." A clerk was covered in blood, staggered to the gambling house under the lantern, and stumbled in front of Xiaoqi. Seeing that he was covered in blood, everyone panicked and backed away, gambling. When people gather in the square, they are all scattered like birds.

"Hey, don't go, I haven't won yet?" Xiao Qi grabbed them, and those people had already fled without a trace. Xiao Qi was sullen, so he had to wave his whip in mid-air a few times to vent his heart. dissatisfied.

"Xiaoqi go and have a look, but someone was killed, this is no nonsense." Ye Lansheng discouraged, and the two followed the prestige.

I only saw a lot of people around Tingge Fang.Many guests ran out of Tinggefang as if they had seen a ghost.

The two hurried to find where Su Heng and Xingyun had arrived.Su Heng was standing next to a dead body, and Yi Xingyun was standing in the crowd, seeing Xiao Qi and the others hastily greeted them.
