Chao Wu and the two guards had already walked to Xu Nian's side. Xu Nian lowered his head to look carefully at the glazed lamp. He was surprised when he saw it. There was no candle or kerosene in the lamp. A faint yellow paper cinnabar talisman floated in the center of the lamp.

Xu Nian broke out in a layer of cold sweat holding the glazed lamp in an instant. He looked back with a complicated expression to look at the place where the young man in Tsing Yi was standing just now—of course he had disappeared, the voice of the people by the Yanhe River was still there, and the man appeared again. Extraordinary people, if Xu Nian wanted to leave, he would definitely not be able to find them.

"Master?"

He made a sound toward the mist, Xu Nian turned his head, walked to the bank of the Yan River and put the glazed lamp into the river, the lamp did not sink, and mixed with the lanterns along the river, drifting leisurely into a candle flame .

Xu Nian glanced at it twice, and left when he could no longer distinguish the lamp.

There was a lot of people along the way, and Xu Nian was not as interested as when he came here. He just wanted to go back to his bedroom early and prepare to recall the contents of the book "Three Thousand Ways".

Walking halfway, he stood still. A woman in front of her was holding a butterfly mask and looking at the lanterns hanging by the roadside. A man stood beside her and opened his mouth, saying something.

Xu Nian quickened his pace and walked over. When he got closer, he heard Xu Zhao complain, "It's agreed to come out to find my son. You wandered here and there along the way, and the lanterns are all set off right now."

The mask Huo Shiyun held in her hand was quite exquisitely made. She was curious about it at the moment, and replied: "Look at how beautiful this mask is, Xu Nian can't lose it. Dear son?"

Just as Xu Zhao was about to reply, he felt his sleeves being torn. He lowered his head, Xu Nian looked at him, and Zhao Wu and two attendants beside him blessed him slightly.

Huo Shiyun was happily trying to put the mask on her face, but the custom masks of Xu Guohua Festival are all for children, Huo Shiyun tried it but still couldn't put it on, so she went to see Xu Guo Zhao, immediately met Xu Nian's black eyes looking straight at her.

Huo Shiyun didn't react for a moment, and she took two steps back in fright before realizing that Xu Zhao was sitting on Xu Zhao's shoulders was his son, then she let out a sigh, patted herself on the chest and sighed: "Son, don't stare like this!" It's scary to look at people with your big eyes so straightly!"

Xu Nian didn't reply, he went to look at the mask in his mother's hand, Huo Shiyun followed his gaze, and immediately put the mask on Xu Nian's face with a smile, Xu Nian didn't hide, he felt sorry for the fox mask he just dropped into the river coming.

Xu Zhao waited for Huo Shiyun to put on the mask for his son, and the family of three was not in a hurry to go back. Xu Nian sat on Xu Zhao's shoulders along the way, and his vision was much wider, which was much more interesting than the scenery he saw standing on the ground. .

The streets were bustling with people, many families came out to play, many children saw Xu Nian sitting on Xu Zhao's shoulders, and they all yelled for their father to carry them.

Xu Nian saw a little fat man, about twelve or thirteen years old in stature, and he was yelling for his father to put himself on his shoulders. The woman next to him should be his mother, and he slapped the little fat man on the head. , the little fat man's face was filled with grievances, and he pointed at Xu Nian with a face that looked like he was about to cry.

Xu Nian thought for a while, and saw that the little fat man was still staring at him wrongedly, but his parents were unanimously criticizing him, so he reached out and lifted the mask to the side of his head, revealing his own face, and he stretched out his hand to grab him The corner of his mouth made a grimace at the little fat man, and the little fat man was even more wronged when he saw this.

Who made you so fat.

Xu Nian withdrew his hand, thinking that Xu Zhao wouldn't put me on his shoulders if I was so fat.

Over there, Xu Zhao didn't know that his son had just "bullied" a chubby kid, and he was following Huo Shiyun with Xu Nian on his shoulders.

Huo Shiyun's cheerfulness and novelty along the way is not much more than Xu Nian's. She is now squeezing into the crowd, and Xu Zhao can't see where she is running. The next second Huo Shiyun ran out holding a string of candied haws, waiting Xu Zhao realized that the candied haws missing the first hawthorn had already reached his mouth.

"Children's food." Xu Zhao sneered, "But I'd like to give you some face and eat one."

"Who wants your reward?" Huo Shiyun curled her lips and withdrew her hand.

Xu Zhao had already opened his mouth to pick up the second hawthorn, Huo Shiyun retracted it like this, and Xu Zhao's hawthorn also fell down. While chewing the hawthorn, he suffered from a sore toothache, while holding on to his face, he replied vaguely : "Thank you lady for the candied haws."

Sitting on his father's shoulder, Xu Nian felt that Xu Zhao and Huo Shiyun were showing their affection in a different way, and Huo Shiyun handed Xu Nian a candied haws: "Baby, these are candied haws, they are delicious, I bought them specially for you. "

Xu Nian took the candied haws and watched the candied haws missing two hawthorns slowly bite into the third one, his face wrinkled into a ball: It's so sour!

Huo Shiyun didn't know if it was intentional or not, she looked at Xu Nian's wrinkled smiling face and smiled very happily, and she was also running here and there along the way, Xu Zhao followed Xu Nian on her shoulders, fearing that she would be lost wife.

Xu Nian held his father's head in his two small hands, and walked all the way from Yanbei Street back to Yanhe in Xishi. Xu Nian felt his hands warm, and Xu Zhao stretched out his hand. Covering his small hands in the palm of his hand.

"The first time I met your mother was by the Yan River."

Xu Zhao was covering his son's small hands, while Huo Shiyun in front of her was bending over shamelessly to reach for the lantern, as if to see what was written on the lantern.

Xu Zhao shook his head, but couldn't help laughing again: "It was also the Flower Festival back then, and the lanterns were put on at night. I just put one down, turned around and turned back, and saw your mother go to reach for my lantern."

"I thought at the time, why is this girl so immoral? Seeing that your mother has already taken the lantern I put up, she raised her head, revealing a pretty face like a flower like jade under the shining candlelight..."

Xu Zhao paused, Xu Nian's little hand moved in his father's big hand, urging him to continue, and then he heard Xu Zhao sigh with emotion: "At that time, I thought, this girl is so beautiful, I must marry her back home!"

Xu Nian was stunned, speechless for a long time, love at first sight really fell in love with face.

No, even the ancients were so honest.

"But now that you are so old, you can-" Xu Zhao said again, he just wanted to say that you could call him daddy, but he thought that Xu Nian had never called him daddy before, so he got stuck, Then he continued to be kind and smooth: "I guess in a blink of an eye, it will be time for you to hold your son or daughter and walk by the Yan River to watch the lanterns."

Xu Nian was noncommittal, he didn't know if he would live to that day, but he was disguised as a protagonist who never lived past the age of 16.

Xu Zhao said a lot, but Xu Nian never responded. Xu Zhao felt really tired. Finally, after thinking about it, he spoke in a much softer voice: "Sometimes I think about whether your mother and I are failures?"

Xu Nian, who was sitting on Xu Zhao's shoulder, froze. He didn't know what Xu Zhao meant. He heard Xu Zhao continue to say, "I have five brothers, none of whom were born by the same mother. Grandma passed away before I was sensible, and your imperial grandfather has been dead for many years, I don't want to talk about him behind his back, but your imperial grandfather has never hugged your father once, let alone put his son on his shoulders."

Speaking of this, Xu Zhao felt sour in his heart, and suddenly felt that Xu Nian was much happier than him. He didn't have a father to support him when he was a child, and having a father is the same as not having a father!

At this moment, Xu Nian moved his little finger and stroked in his father's palm, with some careful comfort, Xu Zhao finally withdrew his sadness and felt a little warmer in his heart.

"Your mother has been an orphan since she was a child. She grew up like a weed. She grew up on her own. Your mother and I didn't know what it was like to be born and raised by a mother. Later, you were born and we talked to each other. Not to mention, it seems that raising a child is very easy, but in fact they are very nervous."

Xu Zhao paused, with embarrassment on his face: "When you were just born, your mother fainted from the pain. I held you and took off your swaddling clothes to see. It's like a red hairless mouse, I almost didn't throw it out."

Red Mouse?Still hairless and wrinkled? !

Xu Nian froze completely, thinking to himself, have you ever seen a hairless mouse?

In the end, she pursed her lips and replied aggrievedly: "Thank you so much for raising me up."

Xu Zhao didn't expect to get Xu Nian's response. He paused for a while, looked at Huo Shiyun, and went to the stall by Yanhe to look at the jewelry. After a while, he said softly, "Sometimes I look at you, but you don't look at me. I don’t even look at your mother. You are looking at the flowers and trees outside the window, listening to the sound of the flowers and leaves being blown by the wind. I’m so scared when you sit there for several hours. I always feel that you are going to leave We are the same, but you obviously..."

"It's a little tree that I took great pains to grow."

After Xu Zhao's words fell, it was rare that the image of Yan's father was gone. Xu Nian blinked, he couldn't see Xu Zhao's expression, but when he went back in memory, he seemed to see Xu Zhao who was still a boy when he was a child, Holding him carefully, with a jerky expression on his face, he gave him a gentle smile.

Laugh like a father.

The kind of smile no one showed him in his previous life.

Xu Nian opened his mouth, and the word "father" came to the tip of his tongue, and Huo Shiyun rushed back. She was tired from playing, so she took Xu Zhao to rest in the inn by the Yan River, and Xu Nian swallowed the word "father".

When they reached the second floor of the inn and sat by the window, Xu Nian was put down by Xu Zhao.

Huo Shiyun looked out of the window at Yanhe: "It's really boring, nine of the ten lanterns are 'I don't love lovesickness in my life, I only hurt lovesickness' must be a group of poor talents who can't afford a wife and want to deceive little girls with two broken poems .”

Xu Zhao poured a cup of hot tea and asked Xu Nian to hold it in his hands. Then he turned to talk back to Huo Shiyun, when an attendant ran over in official uniform. He turned towards Xu Zhao with an anxious expression on his face. Bending over, he whispered in Xu Zhao's ear, and Xu Nian saw that Xu Zhao's face changed and changed, and his whole face sank.

"presumptuous!"

Xu Nian froze, and he heard Xu Zhao suppressed his voice and scolded, but when Xu Zhao turned his head, his face was soft, he stretched out his hand to touch Xu Nian's head, and said apologetically, "You and your mother are here together. Continue to stroll outside, and go to your uncle's house to sleep for a night when the palace is banned, okay?"

Xu Zhao's voice seemed to be asking, but it was actually a decision. Huo Shiyun went to see him: "I'll go back with you."

Xu Zhao shook his head and replied, "What about my son, are you assured that he will spend the night alone?"

Huo Shiyun hesitated for a moment, opened her mouth to continue, Xu Zhao said again: "The people they bring are very annoying, they always pester you, don't go back for now."

Huo Shiyun looked at Xu Zhao, after all, she was worried about her son, so she gave up, but looked and looked reluctantly before Xu Zhao left.

The author has something to say: Xu Nian: So sad, my dad said I was born like a hairless mouse =口=!
