The master said not to judge people by their appearance

Three days later.

The busy season of farming has passed, and it is the most leisure time of the year. In Yazhou in the northwest, in order to celebrate the harvest of the year and have some fun in this leisurely time, the people will celebrate the first day of December, which is Today is designated as the Sui Yu Festival.

On the night of the festival, the curfew in the city was lifted, and the people were free to go to the night market. The night market was filled with all kinds of lanterns, and there were many vendors selling snacks, which was very lively.

Xie Yunlan took Shen Fan to wander around the night market, which he had promised Shen Fan earlier.

The streets are very crowded. The Sui Yu Festival was originally meant to celebrate a good harvest, but today, it has another layer of meaning to celebrate the aftermath of a catastrophe.

The death in the dream realm will not be immediately reflected in the reality. They finally broke the dream in time, so this battle with the heart demon was the least casualty. Except for Cao Jinyu and the 11 people, no one in the city died , the building has no post-war damage, and all the pain has slowly gone away with the dream of the end.

This is indeed something worth celebrating. Almost all the people participated in the celebration tonight, and everyone's faces were filled with joy.

Seeing this scene, Xie Yunlan couldn't help but also smiled.

Finally, he won't be drawn into such a cold dream again. He fought hard day and night. In the past three days, he had a sound sleep, which can be regarded as making up for the energy lost in the past few days. He can take Shen Fan with him today. Have fun.

"Do you want to buy a lantern?" Xie Yunlan asked Shen Fan.

Almost everyone in the night market has a lantern, which is colorful and beautiful.

Shen Fan nodded, and Xie Yunlan went to the stall selling lanterns to pick one. He chose the dragon-shaped lantern at a glance. This dragon lantern only made the dragon head part, but the dragon head part was also made lifelike and exquisite. Very, very much like the true body of the candle dragon seen in the dream.

The vendor praised: "Master Hou has good eyesight, this dragon lantern is made according to the appearance of the dragon god!"

Everyone in Yazhou was involved in the dreamland, and everyone also saw the candle dragon coming out of the water. They thought it was the dragon god who appeared again and subdued the demon. At this moment, making this dragon lantern is also a sacrifice to thank meaning.

Of course, apart from Dragon God, Xie Yunlan and others also contributed a lot in Dreamland, and the vendor said gratefully: "This lamp is given to Lord Hou, it doesn't cost money!"

Xie Yunlan thanked him with a smile, but still left the money when the vendor was not paying attention.

He carried the dragon lantern to look for Shen Fan, and purposely waved the dragon lantern in front of Shen Fan, and said with a smile, "Does it look good? This is specially made by the common people for you."

Shen Fan didn't answer, he said, "It's not for me."

He looked at the two intact dragon horns of the dragon lantern. It was the appearance of the candle dragon in the dream, but not his appearance.

"That's me in your dream." Shen Fan said coldly, "I didn't do anything."

The candle dragon came from Xie Yunlan's dream. He was not the real Shen Fan, but only the Shen Fan in Xie Yunlan's consciousness. It was not Shen Fan's power that broke the dream in the end, but Xie Yunlan's unwavering belief.

Xie Yunlan was taken aback, he was silent for a moment, then suddenly denied, "You did."

He is not really convinced, he has been shaken before, the demon is so powerful, he has shaken mortals, and even this world, whether there is a power that can defeat the demon, not only in Yazhou, but even in Beijing, in Cangzhou , he was still shaken.

But he saw miracles at the same time, it was Shen Fan who lit up one hundred and eight dragon candle lamps, and it was Shen Fan who supported the monstrous wind and rain on the Cangzhou city tower with one hand.

"My faith comes from you." Xie Yunlan said seriously, and he handed the dragon lantern to Shen Fan again.

Shen Fan looked at him silently, after a long while, he finally reached out to take it.

Xie Yunlan noticed that when Shen Fan received the dragon lantern, his gaze stayed on the dragon horn, even though it was just a dragon horn made of bamboo branches and rice paper, it was still intact.

Reminiscent of what Shen Fan once said, the look on his face when he burned the broken horn, Xie Yunlan realized that Shen Fan cared about the broken dragon horn very much.

Perhaps there is no way to ignore it. After seeing the Shen Fan in the past, I just realized how weak Shen Fan is now. This gap is probably bigger than the emperor who is above ten thousand people once reduced to a beggar. Mortal distance.

Xie Yunlan didn't mention these things again, and even the questions he originally wanted to ask while alone with Shen Fan tonight, such as why he dreamed of Netherworld, and why he dreamed of the former Shen Fan, were temporarily suppressed. Did not mention.

He put all his business aside, went shopping with Shen Fan earnestly, and introduced him some snacks unique to Yazhou. The indifference on Shen Fan's face faded a bit, and his attention shifted to these food stalls on the street. On the table, choose which one to eat.

He chose the white sugar fried cake, Xie Yunlan went to buy it for him, and bought a whole pack, Shen Fan ate one and thought it tasted good, but he couldn't finish that much, so he picked up another piece and put it in Xie Yunlan's mouth side, said: "Here you are."

Xie Yunlan froze for a moment, he hesitated and opened his mouth to bite. He was eating the fried cake, but his eyes were not on the fried cake from the beginning to the end. He looked at Shen Fan.

The lanterns in the night market were dazzling, but Shen Fan's eyebrows seemed to be more dazzling than all the lanterns, Xie Yunlan couldn't take his eyes off it.

Shen Fan didn't notice it at all, he shared the white sugar fried cake in his hand with Xie Yunlan and finished eating, when he ate the last one, the corner of his mouth accidentally got some sugar sprinkles, Xie Yunlan almost subconsciously reached out to help him wipe the sugar sprinkles from his face go.

After finishing it, he just realized that something was wrong. In the dream, it was fine. It was the small Shen Fan. He didn't have any other thoughts about the baby-voiced Shen Fan, he only thought that she was cute.But right now, there is, and this thought is a bit obscene, so that he seems to have been burned, and hastily withdrew his hand, fearing that Shen Fan would notice.

But Shen Fan still didn't notice, he was very slow to these things.

Xie Yunlan was very guilty. When he saw a stall selling dragon beard candy next to him, he asked Shen Fan if he wanted to eat it. When he got an affirmative answer, he immediately left Shen Fan to buy long beard candy.

Shen Fan held the dragon lantern and waited on the street for a while. Xie Yunlan came back with the dragon beard candy. His expression had returned to normal at this moment. He handed the candy wrapper to Shen Fan, along with a strange-looking Bracelet, it is made of two strands of red rope into a special knot, and a piece of white jade is tied in the middle of the knot. The jade is in the shape of an incomplete drop, and I don't know what it means.

When Xie Yunlan handed the red string bracelet together with the dragon beard candy to Shen Fan, he revealed the same bracelet on his wrist. The same drop-shaped jade was tied on his red string, and it seemed to be just right for Shen Fan. together to form a complete circle.

Xie Yunlan said casually: "I bought the dragon beard candy as a gift from the boss. We happen to have one for each of us. Shall I wear it for you?"

The boss who sells dragon beard candy doesn't give away bracelets, but Shen Fan doesn't know, and he doesn't know what the bracelets represent. A lot of people wore similar bracelets, so he nodded in agreement.

Xie Yunlan tried his best to put on a calm expression, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth still revealed the joy in his heart. He tied the bracelet on for Shen Fan. Shen Fan was used to wearing white clothes, and his skin was as fair as snow. It is particularly conspicuous on the wrist, like a unique mark.

Xie Yunlan's mark.

Xie Yunlan let go of his hand as if nothing had happened after finishing the tie, but on the next journey, he intentionally or unintentionally showed his wrist, so that everyone could see that the bracelet on his hand was a pair with the one on Shen Fan's.

This move was childish and effective. A single woman wandering around in the night market happened to see Shen Fan's face, but she didn't know his identity. She just thought it was a son of some family, so she wanted to strike up a conversation, but when she looked at the bracelet on the other hand, and the bracelet of the man beside him, he faintly realized something and stopped thinking.

Shen Fan fell in love with another dim sum, this time it was yam red bean cake, the taste of this shop should be very good, he could smell the scent of the pastry from a distance, and there was a long queue in front of the booth, very popular welcome.

Xie Yunlan: "Want to eat?"

Shen Fan nodded.

Xie Yunlan then went to line up, there were too many people on the street, Shen Fan was standing on the other side holding the dragon lantern, not far away, he could see Xie Yunlan's shadow in line, but he couldn't hear the voice over there clearly.

In the same way, Xie Yunlan couldn't hear what was on his side either. Shen Fan happened to pass by a man and a woman. The man was holding two red string bracelets he just bought, and he handed one of the bracelets to the woman who was with him, with affection Maimai said: "Qianniang, I bought two concentric knots, I hope you and I will be united forever in the future, and the white heads will never be separated."

The woman seemed very moved, she stretched out her wrist, and the man tied the concentric knot on her wrist to complete the ceremony.

Shen Fan watched this scene, and he noticed that the concentric knots on the wrists of the men and women were very similar to the ones on his and Xie Yunlan's hands except for the color of the jade.

He went to look at the road on the street again, and there were quite a few people wearing such sympathetic knots, but without exception, they were all young men and women.

Thinking of many details of the past, Shen Fan finally realized something a few beats later.

He looked at the concentric knot on his wrist, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his dark eyes.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, Xie Yunlan came back with the bought yam and red bean cake. He opened the oiled paper bag for Shen Fan, and the heat and aroma burst out together.

"The last pot was cold, and I waited for the next pot to eat while it's hot." Xie Yunlan handed the hot yam and red bean cake to Shen Fan.

Shen Fan was very interested in this pastry just now, but at the moment his attitude was a little cold, and he reached out to take it after a while, revealing his smooth wrist during the movement.

Xie Yunlan noticed it immediately, and he asked, "Where's the bracelet I just gave you?"

Shen Fan paused slightly when he took the pastry, and looked at Xie Yunlan with a little carelessness.

"Lost it," he said.
