Lights on the other side

Chapter 20 Shang Yan

Three days later, it is the Shangyan Festival, which is taken from Heqing Haiyan, the world is peaceful, and it is a day for the whole family to be together.

Li Ruoci opened the door and saw a fire lit in the courtyard. Pei Shi was squatting beside the fire, holding a blackened stick with a sweet potato on it.

Li Ruoci thought: Without the little cook and Tang Yuanchu, would he have fallen to this point?

"Want to eat?" Seeing Li Ruoci who got up early, Pei Shi raised his head and asked.

"Uh... I'll try it." In fact, after reaching a certain level, monks are not required to eat, but it seems a bit strange that he does not eat now.

Li Ruoci took the stick from Pei Shi's hand, and when the sweet potato cooled down a bit, he peeled off the skin and took a bite.

Pei Shi watched from the side and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"It's okay." A little sweet.

"Then you can eat."

"Hey?"

"I'll bake another one."

Pei Shi turned sideways, and took out another sweet potato from the side: "There are many in the kitchen."

As he was talking, a small thorn ball rolled out beside him.

"Hey, be careful." Pei Shi pulled it to Li Ruoci with his hands.

Li Ruoci touched its nose with his fingers, "You've been with it for the past two days, are you familiar with it?"

"No, I found it a few days ago. I was starving to death, so I gave it something to eat."

After hearing this, Li Ruoci handed the sweet potato to the hedgehog's mouth. As a result, the hedgehog turned his head away after smelling it. He couldn't help laughing, "I'm really picky eater."

"Aren't you the same?"

"how come?"

Li Ruoci teased the little prickly ball again with her fingers: "Does it have a name?"

"Uh...Xiaobai?"

noob?Just because it's a white-haired hedgehog?This naming method is as random as Yun Liujin.

"Do you have time in the afternoon? Let's go and see the city."

"Okay." Li Ruoci agreed.

He has also stayed in Wuxitian for too long. For so long, both parties have stood still. There is nothing unusual about Lian Yetian's recent situation reported by Cen Jiu. Silent, and didn't often speak to that coffin.

As for Mr. Yunlu, he has always been hard to find, but recently, it was his words that consciously or unintentionally influenced the actions of the suzerain.

This made Li Ruoci couldn't help but care about him.When we met for the first time, it was just an unknown person wearing a white mask. Li Ruoci, who is now the suzerain's confidant, really didn't expect it.

He almost reported the situation on Wuxitian's side, such as the recent personnel transfer of Wuxitian they wanted and the layout of the fortifications in the east and west of Jingzhou.

Once, when he went out in night clothes, he was almost discovered by Pei Shi who was awake in the middle of the night. The moonlight was like water, he was black and the other was white. Eating sweet potatoes here in peace.

It is true that life should be like a dream, with ups and downs, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

In the afternoon, the sunlight recovered a little and became more abundant.Li Ruoci and Pei Shi walked to Yinzhou. Yinzhou is a large state in the middle of the country, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere.

Pei Shi's eyes were fixed on a booth selling paintings. In front of the booth was a little girl in her thirteens and fourteenth year, wearing a creamy yellow dress and her hair tied up with a red ribbon.

"What's wrong? Want to buy a painting?"

Pei Shi shook his head, looked at the little girl and said, "A person is more beautiful than a painting. The so-called graceful is more than thirteen, and the cardamom is at the beginning of February."

When the little girl heard this, she blushed immediately.

Li Ruoci shook his fan and said, "Aren't you afraid of being called a prodigal son if you flirt with little girls like this?"

"I'm just enjoying it."

Li Ruoci smiled noncommittally, intending to continue walking, but heard the human voice behind him: "The bottom of the curling is not clear yet, a young man like jade has a poetic name."

Turning around, he saw Pei Shi smiling at him: "Is this still considered a prodigal son?"

This smile stunned Li Ruoci for a moment, and then he heard a low sigh from the bottom of his heart.

The young mind is bright and bright, when did he ever have it, but the Pei Shi in front of him made him feel that the beauty is just like jade.

Pei Shi stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Li Ruoci, reminding him, "I'm back to my senses."

Li Ruoci came to his senses, raised his hand and held Pei Shi's hand, a strange feeling spread in his heart, light and unknowable, but wanton.

Like jealousy, but also like yearning.

"Hey..." Pei Shi's eyes met his, and they were all clear.

Li Ruoci quickly let go of his hand, and said in a disguised way: "Don't shake it, I'm dizzy."

"Okay, okay." Pei Shi immediately withdrew his hand.

At night, the sky is lit up with fireworks, two people are sitting on a bench, with girls singing and dancing beside them, plum blossom wine, wild vegetable soup, and all kinds of fish are placed on the long table.

"Pei Shi, you're here again."

"Yeah yeah."

"This one with me is..."

"A friend of mine, Lin Ruoyan."

"I thought it was going to take a girl."

"Probably have to wait a few more years."

Pei Shi smiled and echoed everyone.

When the sound gradually subsided and people were attracted by the singing and dancing ahead, Li Ruoci asked in a low voice, "Are you familiar with them?"

"It doesn't count."

"Then how..."

"You know, if you don't have a good relationship, you will be beaten if you eat and drink for nothing."

"..."

"Learn."

People along the Lishui River prepare this feast of thousands of fish every year on the Shangyan Festival. There are a long table with a hundred or so people, all from the same clan.

The girl in front sang a song, beat the time, and spun in a circle, and the silver ornaments on her body rang.The gloomy sky in the distance seems to disappear invisible in this atmosphere.The cups were mixed, and everyone under the firelight was smiling, smiling, laughing, and pursing their lips, like a shadow puppet show, performing a drama called happiness. If the past was not too deep, Li Ruoci almost thought that he could be Infected, assimilated.He looked at the people around him, Pei Shiman's smiling face always had a kind of cold and snowy silence.

Presumably you too, he thought.

At midnight, the Thousand Fish Feast finally came to an end, and the Shangyan Festival also came to an end.People hope that the weather will still be smooth and the crops will be plentiful next year, but they don't know that this is the tail of peace and the comfort before the disaster.

For countless days to come, people will miss it in the long night.

In the new year, it will be a year of great misfortune predicted by Jiang Bitter.

The destiny is approaching, making ghosts cry.

Looking at the night outside the window, Li Ruoci untied his hairband, lay on the bed, ready to rest, but saw his jade pendant flashing on the folded clothes.

"have you slept?"

The voice was a little low, but Li Ruoci could still tell it was Yun Liujin's voice.

He didn't make a sound, and waited for a long time, thinking that there was nothing to say, so he closed his eyes.

"Happy Shangyan Festival."

said the voice over there.
