After dressing as a widow

And the liar probably heard that Lin Zhen had fair skin, so he applied a layer of powder on his face and neck fiercely, and when he winked, the powder fell down like an avalanche.

At that time, Lin Zhen was not mentioned, and the rest of the Lin family were very happy. They teased the liar for a while and handed him over to the village head, who asked the village head to contact the village to deal with it.

As soon as you enter the three-way intersection, you will be overwhelmed by the bustle and excitement, and the gorgeous lanterns will be piled up high. The originally spacious intersection is so crowded that you can't even insert a needle.

The Lin family had made an agreement on the way here, Eldest brother Lin, Second elder brother Lin and the others each took Eldest Lin sister-in-law Lin Ersister and the children to play, Father Lin and Father Lin all the way, and Xiaoyao Lin alone, Lin Zhen originally He wanted to be with Lin Xiaoyao, but Gu Lin talked very quickly, so he said to go with him first.

He said that Lin Zhen's plan fell through.

So everyone dispersed at this moment, Lin Zhen stood a little looser and some distance away from the intersection, looked at Gu Lin out of the corner of his eye, and walked inside.

In an instant, Lin Zhen felt that he was overwhelmed by the excitement.

Men and women, young and old, parents with children, and young boys boldly handing lotus lanterns to their favorite girls, everyone had joyful smiles on their faces.

After that drought, everyone obviously cherishes the present day even more.

Lin Zhen was still thinking about Gu Lin behind him at first, but gradually he was immersed in the excitement. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he squeezed through the crowd with difficulty, to the mask stall that flashed in his eyes.

"Guess, please buy one for your child. It's fun to wear." The peddler greeted warmly, and handed Lin Zhen a little ghost mask that almost everyone in the Yu Dynasty knew.

Lin Zhen looked at the weird and cute little ghost mask in the peddler's hand, and suddenly felt embarrassed to say that he, an adult, bought it and wore it.

Seeing Lin Zhen's expression, the peddler realized that he had made a mistake. He said repeatedly: "Sorry, sorry, I thought that child belonged to you, little brother."

After he said this, Lin Zhen realized that there was a child standing next to him, and the child's family quickly found him, grabbing the child and slapping him on the butt.

It seems that the child's family is going crazy because of the child.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the side, took an extremely vicious ghost mask from the stall, and put it on Lin Zhen's face.

Lin Zhen stepped back subconsciously, but his back touched someone. He turned his head and saw Gu Lin's side face, with sharp browbones, a high nose, and thin lips with a light color.

A small half of Lin Zhen's back was pressed against his chest, so close that he could even smell the saponins on his body.

The skin all over his body tightened all of a sudden, and he quickly lifted his feet forward.

"Don't move." Gu Lin is now a little taller than him, breathing on his neck, put the mask of the evil spirit on Lin Zhen's face, and tied a knot behind his head.

Gu Lin also picked up the same mask from the stall and put it on his face, holding Lin Zhen's hand as he walked through the crowd.

Covered by the mask, Lin Zhen's vision suddenly narrowed a lot, and he could only see the small area in the frame reserved for the eyes.

He looked at Gu Lin who was wearing a long robe, a silk sash around his waist, and his long hair was tied high by a headband. He struggled in Gu Lin's hand for several times but he couldn't break free. Instead, he was held more and more tightly by Gu Lin. Tight, the fingers of the two rubbed and intertwined.

Suddenly, the surging crowd was like a drop of water dripping into an oil pan, and it exploded with a bang. The big guys squeezed forward, as if to see something, and many children were carried on their necks by the adults at home. .

"Wow, it's so beautiful, that lantern is so beautiful!"

"Why is that hibiscus lantern like this? This year's Flower God is still that pretty girl."

"..."

Because Lin Zhen deliberately opened the distance between the two of them, he stood a little behind, with one hand held by Gu Lin for a long time, and he couldn't see what was happening in front of him at all, and what was the excitement that everyone was watching.

Suddenly, Gu Lin's palm fell on his shoulder along his arm, and the other hand separated the crowd, half-embracing him and bringing him from behind, hugging him with one hand.

For a short moment, in Lin Zhen's eyes, he was infinitely elongated, his hand tightly grasped the clothes on Gu Lin's shoulder due to the sudden weightlessness, and the arm sitting under pigu was firm and powerful.

And he finally saw the parade of lanterns that made everyone exclaim. One person was holding or hugging, or four or eight people were carrying the lanterns with flowers and animal figures on the beautifully decorated shelves. As big as a fist, the big one is about ten feet high.

The most eye-catching thing is the hibiscus flower lantern on the shelf carried by eight people. The overlapping petals are complicated and about ten feet high. .

And the women holding the lanterns and carrying the lanterns are all handsome young men with good looks. The beautiful lights and beautiful scenery make people feel happy just looking at them.

After coming here for so many years, Lin Zhen seldom thinks of those modern things, and the grand scene presented by modern technology is somewhat blurred.

He was fascinated by the hustle and bustle displayed only by pure manpower and skill before him, lingering on the flower lamps.

Lin Zhen's body, which was originally stiff because of Gu Lin's sudden hug, became relaxed. He pointed to the largest hibiscus lantern: "Gu Lin, can you see that hibiscus flower lantern? It's really well done .”

"I can see it."

"Isn't it beautiful?" Lin Zhen looked down at Gu Lin, but found that Gu Lin, who said the lantern was beautiful, didn't look at the front at all, but looked up at him.

Through the mask, his pupils, which were darker than ordinary people's, appeared darker, as if the abyss and the sea were surging inside.

Stared at by him, Lin Zhen's heart seemed to be held slightly by a hand, and he could clearly feel the pulse on it gradually speeding up.

He subconsciously turned his head away and continued to look at the parade of lanterns.

The long line of lanterns took more than ten minutes to complete, and walked towards other streets, followed by people who like to be lively.

The originally overcrowded street was a little vacant, Lin Zhen patted Gu Lin on the shoulder and asked him to let him down.

The peddler selling masks just behind them said with a smile: "Your Majesty loves your husband so much, you are the only one who hugs your husband among so many people."

Lin Zhen's face under the mask was terribly hot all of a sudden, and he jumped off him as if fleeing for his life.

Gu Lin's ears were extremely red. He looked at Lin Zhen who had already walked forward, and pointed at the mask on the vendor's stall: "I want all of these, and you don't need to look for money."

He put a broken piece of silver on the stall, and the peddler looked at the piece of silver and hurriedly said, "Mr. Sir, the masks on our stall are not worth so much money, I—"

Seeing that Lin Zhen was about to walk out of his sight, Gu Lin took a few masks and strode after him.

The peddler was almost stunned by the sudden good luck, holding the money and looking in the direction where no one could be seen, he clasped his hands together and bowed.

Such good-looking two people are probably not gods in the sky.

Gu Lin quickly caught up with Lin Zhen, and Lin Zhen looked at the five or six masks in his hand: "What are you buying so much for?"

"Take whatever you want."

"..."

The two walked along the streets. Compared with the previous few months, these streets have taken on a completely new look. Bright door gods are pasted on the doors of every house, and couplets are pasted on both sides.

In order to meet the scene of the Lantern Festival, lanterns are hung under the eaves, like a winding river of lights, and pedestrians on the street are like ferrymen on the river.

Lin Zhen and Gu Lin still wore the same ghost mask on their faces. It was originally just a child's toy worn on the faces of the two adults, and passers-by took a few extra glances.

Suddenly, Lin Zhen saw a few familiar figures in front of him, turned his head to face Gu Lin, raised a finger by his mouth, and groped along the corners.

"Ahhhhhh!!!" Wang Qin, who was with Huang Yuwen and Chen Xing, was taken aback by the ghost that suddenly appeared in front of him, but soon he found that the ghost was standing in the light and shadow, which made him look very strange. The terrifying evil spirit turned out to be just a mask, and angrily took off the mask on the unknown face.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was caught.

Wang Qin looked up and found that it was Gu Lin who hadn't seen him since the New Year's greetings, and the ghost who scared him had already lifted his mask to his forehead, and it was Lin Zhen.

Wang Qin suddenly didn't know what to say, "Uncle Lin, why are you scaring me?"

"It's fun to scare you." Lin Zhen was rarely so interested, and put off the mask on his face again, looking at Chen Xing who was standing beside Huang Yuwen, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and Chen Xing has grown so big , then the two of them have already told you that this year's rural examination will most likely be reopened?"

Compared with the spirit of the previous few days, Chen Xing's eyes now have a little light, and his shoulders have become straight, as if he was not being pressed down by a heavy object.

He looked at Huang Yuwen and Wang Qin, and said: "Yuwen and Wang Qin have both told me, and we have agreed that after today's Lantern Festival, I will go to your house to find Gu Lin to review the book together." , I’m going to bother your family at that time, so please Gu Lin.”

Gu Lin is the youngest of the four, but if the three of them are called Gu Lin and Gu Di, they really can't say it, and they are more comfortable with names.

While talking, Chen Xing cupped his hands and saluted Gu Lin, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

At that time, he and Gu Lin, one was Wang Qin's little follower, and the other was a child who was bullied when he first entered school and only knew a thousand characters.

At that time, Chen Xing actually didn't like Gu Lin. He was obviously a poor kid like him, but Gu Lin didn't care about Wang Qin and Huang Yuwen's family background. Chen Xing couldn't understand that Gu Lin's father was a businessman. A businessman who smells like copper, Gu Lin never felt ashamed.

Later, Chen Xing was no longer ashamed to mention his family background in front of other people in the school. When the family was really busy, he would bring his youngest brother to the school and let him play quietly in the yard.

It's something he wouldn't do before.

Lin Zhen put on a mask, and said: "It's interesting to have a lively home. The house has been cleaned up, and I'm waiting for you to live in."

He took the masks in Gu Lin's hand and handed them one by one.

Wang Qin had already stared at the mask in Gu Lin's hand, and put it on his face as soon as he saw Lin Zhen holding it.

Huang Yuwen and Chen Xing glanced at each other, smiled and took it in their hands.
