I was led by Li Yao and walked out of the back door for a long time, I threw away his hand and gasped and asked, "Where are you going to take me" Li Yao leaned into my ear and whispered: "A place where you can release your inner fear." ”Yes, from the moment I stepped into Jinling, I was full of fear for every step I was going to take next, but I didn't mention half a word to Shanniang and Xiaoliu, and that feeling of helplessness could only breed and spread in my heart.Li Yao saw through me, and I silently followed behind him.Walking through the lively street, looking at the peaceful smiles on the faces of the people, I also met Tang Wubai, who sold paintings for a living on the street corner, with a small lantern on his stall, and an old man standing in front of the stall with a cane, telling him to write a letter to his son."
He probably can't afford to eat peanuts and vegetables tonight."
I couldn't help but sigh.Li Yao asked curiously: "Do you know him" I shook my head: "I'm not familiar, I've just met a few times, on the night of the drunken wood rhino dance competition, he helped the smiling Yulang to send the phoenix crown, but looking at him like that, he should have not eaten all day, this old man is in rags."
There should be no money to pay him. ”"You think he's pitiful" I looked at Li Yao's face full of incomprehension, and said with a smile: "I just suddenly understood that sentence, since ancient times, he has been a scholar, and he can't stand the hunger when he is full of economy, and scholars also have to eat." ”After finishing speaking, Li Yao still looked at me with a puzzled look, I smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, it's already this hour, and if it's too late, it is estimated that the place where you want to take me will be closed." ”Li Yao laughed: "Do you think I am taking you, a gluttonous cat, to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas" I raised my head: "Isn't it" Li Yao took two steps forward, turned back and said with a smile: "Of course not, follow up." ”When passing by a lantern street, Li Yao and I watched from a distance as Xiaoliu and Lili looked at the lanterns with sugar gourds in their hands.I stepped forward: "What a coincidence. ”Xiaoliu turned around in surprise and shouted in front of me: "Miss, you are also out, hurry up, hurry up, try this rock sugar gourd, it is delicious, very sweet, and very sour." ”I waved my hand again and again: "I have a toothache recently, and I can't eat sweet and sour things." ”Xiao Liu was a little disappointed: "Oh, then I can only let Li Gongzi take you to eat delicious food." ”It seems that these two girls are very happy to walk together, especially Lili, although they have been mixing in Jinling City, they still can't help but praise when they see so many beautiful lanterns: "It's so beautiful."
Why didn't you think these lanterns were beautiful before?"
Xiao Liu pointed out sharply: "That's because you are not only poor, you are also hungry, how can you have time to enjoy such beautiful lanterns with hungry eyes." ”Lili patted Xiaoliu on the shoulder and nodded: "You're right, I admit that I haven't eaten as much as I have since I was born." ”After speaking, he burped several times in a row, and Xiao Liu covered his nose: "Hey, as soon as you smell it, you know that you have eaten a bun of steamed buns filled with leeks, and the taste is really heavy." ”Lili defended his grievances: "It's hard to get rich."
I can put some leek meat filling in the steamed bun, and you still laugh at me. ”Xiaoliu bar: "I've seen all kinds of stuffed buns, but it's the first time I've seen someone put stuffing in steamed buns, haven't you ever eaten steamed buns in your last life?"
In the end, I can't forget it, that's why you will eat steamed buns in your life, and you won't get tired of eating until you vomit" Lili nodded: "I think so, it must be that I was too rich in my last life, so rich that I ate delicacies from the mountains and seas every day."
I have never tasted steamed buns, so God has made me a beggar in my life, working hard for two steamed buns every day. ”I teased Lili: "You are still chasing Xiao Gongzi for those two steamed buns" Lili patted his chest: "That's a must, if you owe steamed buns, you have to pay back the steamed buns, this little girl must be compared, but I also have a gratitude." ”I like this sex, but Lili seems to have seen something more interesting, so he pulled Xiaoliu and ran: "Go over there, there are so many people, there should be shadow puppetry." ”Xiao Liu was pulled by her and ran a few steps before turning around: "Li Gongzi, then my young lady will ask you to take care of it." ”Li Yao waved his hand: "I wish the two heroines a good time." ”As soon as these two chirping girls left, I felt that something was missing from my surroundings.Li Yao put his hand on my shoulder: "Yusheng."
Don't you envy them" I quietly took two steps back and distanced myself from him without a trace: "Why did Brother Li say that" Li Yao looked at the backs of Lili and Xiaoliu leaving happily, and said with emotion: "You are the same age as them, but I don't seem to have seen you in Fanyin Village for a long time" I pointed out unceremoniously: "Brother Li, we didn't seem to know each other that well before" Li Yao walked in front of me again: "It's okay, we will become more and more familiar in the future." ”I don't know how far I walked, I followed Li Yao up to a stone arch bridge with a sweaty head, Li Yao pointed to the bridge and said to me, "That's where I want to take you." ”I looked up and saw nothing in the black.But Li Yao was already striding ahead, and I had no choice but to take steps to follow.After passing through a small alley, there is a meandering stream.There was an endless stream of people by the stream, and Li Yao finally stopped and waited for me to follow: "This is a small stream in Jinling City, because the water is often filled with the fragrance of lotus flowers, people named it Lotus Creek."
It is a holy place for lovers to meet and make wishes, you see, the one-to-one pair is all a little lover with the intention of a concubine. ”My face was red to the bottom of my ears, and I whispered, "Then what did you bring me here for, let's go back." ”Li Yao pointed to my heart: "Is there no one you miss here?"
I said bluntly: "Yes." ”Li Yao's expression panicked for a moment, and soon said with a smile: "Then you have come to the right place, this lotus pond can make a wish."
If you write your thoughts down the stream in a lotus lantern, the people you miss will be able to hear them. ”I was skeptical: "Is it really so effective" Li Yao tilted his head: "Go and try it, how do you know if it doesn't work" I was moved, bought a lotus lantern, and carefully wrote a sentence on the paper.Li Yao made a gesture to come over and take a peek, but I hurriedly covered it: "The fairy woman said that the paper wish she made can't be shown to others, and the wish she made can't be told to others." ”Li Yao sighed: "If I knew earlier, I wouldn't recommend you to buy lotus lanterns from the fairy woman." ”I looked at Li Yao, who had nothing to do, and looked at him with frowns: "You don't make a wish" Li Yao approached me with a wicked smile: "My wish has been fulfilled."
The girl I wanted had come to me. ”I pointed to the fairy woman who was selling lotus lanterns on the side and said, "You're talking about the fairy woman," and we both laughed out loud, and after putting the lotus lanterns, my mood instantly relaxed a lot, and I hope that the person I miss is much better.He also misses me under the night sky in a foreign land.I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I think about it."
Don't you really want to have a big meal" Li Yao simply guessed all my thoughts, I nodded unceremoniously, there is a small stall near Lotus Creek.Li Yao said that the snacks there are particularly delicious, especially those made of fresh meat wontons, and I want to shout when I take a bite, boss.Three more bowls.I was amused by Li Yao, and at his strong recommendation, I sat in front of the stall on the corner, and he ordered two bowls of fresh meat wontons and two snowballs.Then he whispered in my ear: "I'll go and I'll be back soon, don't you eat all my fresh meat wontons, it's good to have some soup left over for me." ”I don't understand what Li Yao is going to do, just think that he is a human being with three urgency.But the fresh meat wontons are already ready.He hasn't come back yet."
Boss, let's have a bowl of fresh meat wontons."
I was anxiously waiting when I suddenly caught a glimpse of Tang Wubai sitting at the table next to me.He smiled at me, and I greeted him: "I thought you couldn't afford to eat peanuts and grass today, but I didn't expect you to be able to eat meat today, not bad." ”Tang Wubai took the chopsticks and waited: "Occasionally I have to change the taste, I've been hungry for a day." ”After the boss brought his fresh meat wontons to the table, he ate one and kept nodding: "It's delicious, this fresh meat wonton should be eaten while it's hot, Miss Lou, you can eat it too, the people you are waiting for won't come back for a while." ”I looked back, and there was no Li Yao at the end of the road."
How do you know that he won't be able to come back for a while" I asked curiously, only to see Tang Wubai suddenly put down his chopsticks and stretched out his right hand: "I pinched my fingers, Li Gongzi should be anxiously looking for something." ”I couldn't help laughing: "Aren't you a poor scholar who sells paintings on the street for a living, although occasionally doing good deeds to help poor people write a few letters, it is also what a reader should do, when will you still have these vain things" Tang Wubai picked up the chopsticks again: "Occasionally, occasionally, only look at the destined person." ”Naturally, I didn't believe him, watching the two bowls of fresh meat wontons slowly get cold, Tang Wubai at the next table had already finished eating a bowl, wiped his mouth and burped with satisfaction.After Tang Wubai got up, he persuaded me again: "Miss Lou, let's eat it while it's hot, Li Gongzi can't find that thing, and he is probably in a hurry, but the girl has been waiting patiently for a while." ”I watched Tang Wubai walk out of the stall, and asked him back: "Hey, you make it clear, why can't he come back for a while, what else is he looking for" Tang Wubai waved his hand to me: "Someone will tell you the answer." ”I sighed and muttered: "What a strange scholar, what is Brother Li looking for" I was thinking bitterly with my head in my hands, and suddenly a sentence came out of my back: "Because he will never find the paper wish you made." ”When I raised my eyes, I saw that what was in front of me was the paper wish I had written in the lotus lamp
