flagship summer song

Back at home outside the city, Xu Xiaoxian took off her outfit, as well as the wrinkles on her face, beard, and eyebrows, and went to the well to wash her face. Under the moonlight, the reflection on the water in the bucket was Where is the old man, he is clearly a handsome young man.

The little goddess found a brazier and grilled the roast chicken that Xu Xiaoxian promised to buy for her on it. The delicious smell made the two of them salivate.

After Xu Xiaoxian changed his clothes, he moved a bench and sat by the brazier. Although it was summer, the night in the suburbs was still very cold. Xu Xiaoxian asked while warming up, "Where did you go, sir? I haven't seen anyone else for several days."

"I don't know. They said they were going to find some treasured geomantic omen in the mountains for others, and they will come back later." The little goddess poked the roast chicken with her chopsticks, stretched out her hand and broke off a big chicken leg, handed it to Xu Xiaoxian, and said: "Okay, hurry up and eat, let's set off the river lanterns at night."

Xu Xiaoxian took the chicken leg and ate it in two or three bites. The chicken bone was chewed several times and then spit it into the brazier. For the devil."

"What are you afraid of, don't you, a demigod, be around? Even if you don't give you face, don't you give face to the fairy grandpa?"

"The fairy grandpa also has to look at the face of the little goddess."

A roast chicken was torn apart by the two of them, and there was no residue left. The little goddess extinguished the brazier, tidied it up, and walked towards Chengxi River with Xu Xiaoxian.

The Chengxi River is located in the outskirts of the city. The upstream river channel is not wide, the terrain has a large drop, and the river water is fierce and swift. It has rained a few days ago, and even the downstream river level has risen a lot. However, the downstream area is flat, the river channel is wide, and the river water is relatively much gentler. .

Chen Yao and Lin Dao waited until late at night before quietly going out without disturbing the people in the house.

The two went out of the mansion, met their heads, and rushed to the gate of the city without any gossip. Chen Yao stopped suddenly and took a look at the booth in the afternoon. At this time, there was nothing left there.

Lin Dao reminded in a low voice: "What are you looking at, hurry up."

Chen Yao nodded, exerted a little force on his feet, and caught up with Lin Dao, and ran towards Chengxi River side by side with him.

There were not a few people who came to Chengxi River to release river lanterns tonight, but when Chen Yao and the others arrived, these people who released river lanterns had already gone home and closed their doors to sleep.

Chen Yao didn't like excitement, so he deliberately postponed the time of setting off the river lanterns until near midnight, and naturally he had other intentions.

The river lantern is a thing that summons souls. Since his mother passed away, Chen Yao will come to Chengxi River every year to release river lanterns on ghost festivals. .

He thought, this year may be the last time, he will not come again.

Chen Yao and Lin Dao put the river lantern into the water, and the orange candle light danced gently in the river lantern, drifting away with the water.

They stood by the river and watched the river lantern float far, far away until it disappeared.

Lin Dao turned around, was stunned for a moment, raised his hand tremblingly, and pointed to the middle of the river. Chen Yao turned his head and couldn't help being surprised. There were four more river lanterns in the middle of the river, but there was no one on the river bank.

Lin Dao has been afraid of ghosts since he was a child, so he quickly took out the evil spirit talisman given by the half-immortal, held it in his hand, and muttered the words of God's blessing and evil spirits.

Chen Yao's hands were hidden in his sleeves, and he was also holding the soul-calling talisman given by Banxian. He thought, whether the soul-calling talisman in his hand was more powerful, or Lin Dao's evil spirit talisman was more effective.

"Calm down, maybe he came to set off the river lanterns like us. Let's go upstream." Chen Yao patted Lin Dao on the shoulder and told him to follow him and walk upstream to the river bank.

Chen Yao's judgment was not wrong. There were indeed people on the upper reaches of the river who chose this time to light the river lanterns as they did. They walked to a bridge and saw a figure standing under a willow tree on the bank from a distance.

Lin Dao was terrified, everything looked like a ghost, so Chen Yao asked him to wait on the bridge, and he went to meet the man himself.

Chen Yao stopped two meters away from the man, and the man turned to look at him. Under the moonlight, Chen Yao found that the man had disheveled hair, pale face, thin white single clothes, and long black hair. Her hair hung down to her waist, fluttering in the wind.

It really looks like a female ghost.

Chen Yao met the man's gaze, but felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.He asked: "Did the girl put down those four river lanterns?"

The "female ghost" in white looked towards the direction of the river, raised her sleeve to cover her lips, and nodded slightly, as if she was smiling.

"It's so late, isn't the girl afraid of being alone?"

The "female ghost" in white shook her head, but did not speak.

Chen Yao felt strange and thought that this female ghost could not speak, so he boldly took a step forward. He heard that ghosts have no physical body and cannot touch the flesh of a mortal.

Seeing him approaching, the "ghost" in white backed away. When he took a step closer, the "ghost" took a step back, keeping her eyes on him and not letting him approach.

With an idea, Chen Yao walked around to the other side of the "ghost", holding a bunch of wicker and playing with it in his hands. The "ghost" didn't know what he wanted to do, but just looked at him vigilantly, and when he approached, he would Back off.

The "female ghost" originally stood not far from the river, but was approached several times by Chen Yao, and unconsciously retreated to the muddy place by the river. Unsteady, the body will fall backwards.

Chen Yao originally thought that the female ghost would take the opportunity to float away, but when he was forced all the way to this point, he suddenly realized that the female ghost should be a normal human being—how could a ghost without feet step into the mud?

He quickly took a step forward, stretched out his hand to grab the female ghost's waist, and gently moved towards the shore. The two of them fell to the ground together. The "female ghost" in white seemed to be frightened by him, and stared at him blankly for a long time. Only then pushed him away.

"I'm really sorry just now, is the girl okay?"

The "female ghost" shook her head lightly, glared at him annoyedly, raised her hand suddenly, wrote something on the palm of her left hand with her right index finger, and pointed to his hand after a while.

He understood, stretched out his palm, and the "female ghost" stretched out her hand to support the back of his hand, with her fingertips resting on his palm, she hesitated a few times before writing two words: "Thank you".

Chen Yao felt strange, since he was the one who deceived others first, why did the dumb girl thank him?And just for a moment, wasn't the girl annoyed?

The "female ghost" saw that he was puzzled, and quickly wrote on his palm: "Young master, come back quickly."

Chen Yao was not in a hurry to go home, but asked instead: "Where is the girl's home, can my friend and I give you a ride?"

The "female ghost" was really annoyed this time, she shook off his hand and stopped writing, just waved him away, but he couldn't do it, said goodbye, then turned around to leave, suddenly remembered something, and turned around again.

The "ghost" frowned and stared at him, as if asking why he came back, but he knew it, but didn't answer, untied the cloak on his body, and threw it over the shoulders behind the "ghost".

"It's cold, the girl should go back earlier." After finishing speaking, Chen Yao turned around and jumped onto the bridge lightly, returning to the city with Lin Dao.

The "female ghost" looked at the backs of the two of them going away, gently took off the cloak that was still warm, turned around, and called: "Little goddess, you are home."

The girl jumped down from the tree and landed at the feet of the "female ghost", without making a sound.

Xu Xiaoxian put the cloak on the girl, and the two walked in opposite directions one after the other.

The girl asked: "Banxian, why didn't you see that you are a man? He called you a girl."

"Who knows." Xu Xiaoxian smiled and didn't care. He was in poor health when he was born, and the husband was afraid that he would not be able to support him. He listened to the old man in the village and raised him as a girl since he was a child. Start dressing and dressing like a man.

"He wanted to force you to fall into the river just now, did you fall on purpose to lie to him?"

"Probably." Xu Xiaoxian looked back at the direction in which the two disappeared.

It's just the believer's self-confidence, whoever deceives whomever comes.

The girl asked again: "Banxian, how do you know they are coming to release river lanterns tonight?"

"Of course it's what Grandpa Immortal said."

"Then the fairy grandpa taught you to draw the soul-calling talisman for him?"

"Without Grandpa Immortal's permission, Xiaoxian wouldn't dare to mess around. It doesn't matter if you ruin your job, but it's a big mistake to annoy Grandpa Immortal."

The girl grabbed the warm cloak on her body, and said: "But he should be a good person for giving you such warm clothes. The half-immortal should ask the immortal grandpa to treat him better."

"Ah."

"are you cold?"

"It's not cold." Xu Xiaoxian looked up at the moon, lowered his head and pinched it with his fingers, and murmured, "Don't get this clothes dirty, and return it later."

"Ah, didn't he give it to us?"

"Reciprocity."

"What do you mean? What did Grandpa Immortal tell you to do again?"

"Don't leak the secret, go back quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow to set up a stall."

The girl was not very happy, and said: "Didn't you earn a lot today? The husband said that you can't eat too much. Can't we rest for a while?"

"No, sir, you still say that you can sit and eat, so you just remember the words of being lazy."

The girl muttered and said nothing, Xu Xiaoxian knew that she was not convinced, so she didn't try to persuade her, because right and wrong in this world can't be explained clearly in a few words.

What's more, when you don't understand, it's hard to say it's not a kind of luck.

Xu Xiaoxian said: "It's okay to take a break if you want, but I have to do me a favor tonight."

"what?"

"For/person/elimination/disaster."
