At the beginning of the lanterns, the night colors the sky. The sky is full of lonely stars, holding the silver plate and twinkling.
During the Lantern Festival, the streets are full of hustle and bustle. Street vendors are walking next to each other, selling all kinds of lanterns. Some vendors will write riddles on the lanterns and guess them once with a copper plate. The one who guesses correctly will take away the lanterns.
.It’s very lively.
The streets are crowded with people, laughing and playing everywhere. It is only one day a year that ladies can come out of their boudoirs and enjoy the excitement of the market.
Having entered the market, when Ah Shui saw the lively lantern festival, he forgot all the previous unhappiness and quickly walked into the crowd, looking around happily. He touched this stall and touched that stall.
Touch, his eyes full of novelty and curiosity.
Ashin followed Ah Shui, looking at her figure, and his eyes gradually softened, because Ah Shui's figure made him seem to see some scattered fragments in his mind. Ashin was almost certain that he
I have definitely seen this scene before, but the woman in front of me is not Ah Shui, but the woman in my memory whose face I couldn't see clearly.
Before Ashin knew it, his expression fell into a pair of eyes hidden in the dark alley, arousing shock and doubt in the other person's heart.
"Axin, look, does this look good?" Ah Shui walked to a stall selling masks, picked up a bull-head mask and put it on his face, turned around happily and looked at Ashin, shouting happily.
Seeing how happy she was, Ashin nodded along with her wishes and said with a smile: "It looks good."
His smile fell into the dark eyes, causing a flash of anger in the other person's eyes. When he glanced at Ah Shui's face from the corner of his eyes, his heart suddenly "thumped". He had seen this woman before! She was right.
It was the person I met when I entered the village that day!
Hearing Ashin's praise, Ah Shui was very happy. After asking about the price of the mask, he put it back on the stall with some reluctance. After all, this thing was too expensive and impractical. If he bought it back, he would definitely be scolded by his father.
of.
Ah Shui's action and look of reluctance fell into Ashin's eyes. He didn't say anything, but after Ah Shui turned around, he quietly bought the bull-head mask.
For some reason, he suddenly wanted to do this. It seemed that a long time ago, there was a woman like Ah Shui, jumping happily in front of him, and he bought her all the things she liked.
"Ah Shui!" Ashin suddenly called out to Ah Shui, holding the bull-head mask in his hand.
Ah Shui heard the sound and hurriedly turned around and came to him: "A Xin?"
Just as she was wondering, Ashin lifted up the bull-headed mask and slowly covered her face. He leaned over and carefully tied the mask's straps on Ah Shui.
At this moment, Ashin was so close to Ah Shui, so close that Ah Shui could smell a unique smell emanating from Ashin's body, which was unfamiliar yet so safe.
Her heart began to beat fiercely, and her face suddenly turned red. Fortunately, there was a mask to cover it, otherwise Ah Shui didn't know if she would find a crack in the ground to turn in. This was the first time in sixteen years that Ah Shui was with the same man.
Being so close, and besides, this man was the one she fell in love with at first sight.
"This is for you." Although Ashin's movements were not ambiguous or frivolous at all, it gave a different feeling when it fell into the eyes of others. At least, the man hiding in the dark alley had begun to feel a little angry and fisted
He squeezed it tightly and pursed his thin lips.
"Thank you..." Ah Shui thanked him softly, and his rapid heartbeat did not slow down until Ashin's hand left.
After that, Ah Shui put on a mask and stayed beside Ashin for a long time. She no longer walked happily among the crowd as before. Until she saw a place where she guessed lantern riddles, she couldn't help but feel the longing in her heart.
He and Temptation left Ashin behind and ran over.
As for guessing lantern riddles, this is Ah Shui's favorite thing, because she is a master at guessing lantern riddles. Every year during the Lantern Festival, she will guess lantern riddles and win back many lanterns, which she takes back and distributes to the children in the village.
She will still not miss this year's lantern riddle guessing, but this time, she not only wants to win lanterns for the children, but also wants to win one for Ashin.
However, the moment Ah Shui squeezed into the crowd, a stone flew out from the dark alley and hit Ashin in the back, causing him to immediately become alert.
Ashin turned around and looked back, and saw a figure flashing past in the dark alley surrounded by flying stones. Almost instinctively, Ashin quickly crossed the crowd and chased after the figure.
When Ashin chased him to the entrance of the alley, he saw the figure running towards the depths of the alley. His eyes froze slightly, and relying on instinct, he lifted up and flew after him.
Unexpectedly, the black figure had no intention of escaping at all. When Ashin chased him deep into the alley, he saw the man standing in front of him with his back turned.
Ashin quietly looked at the figure from behind. He was not tall, so he was not very old, but looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. Judging from the aura emanating from the other person, Ashin felt that he seemed a little angry, but he did not notice any murderous intent.
.
So, Ashin breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a deep voice: "Brother, why did you bring me here?"
When the other party heard this, he narrowed his eyes quietly, sneered, turned around slowly, looked at Ashin firmly with his eyes, and whispered with his thin lips: "Chen Shaoxuan!"
When Ashin heard these three words, his heart stirred up like a boulder being thrown down, as if something was about to break out of the cocoon, but it couldn't break free.
A trace of confusion appeared in the corner of Asin's eyes, but it flashed past. He asked calmly: "Do you recognize me?"
Although Ashin's eyes flashed very quickly, he was still caught by the man's eyes. A trace of hesitation flashed in his sharp eyes, and then he said tentatively: "Mr. Chen has such a good memory. We are half a month old."
We had a discussion before, why did you forget it?"
Half a month ago?!
Ashin remembered that Ah Shui had rescued him from the cliff half a month ago. In other words, the truth behind his falling off the cliff was probably related to the man in front of him.
After having this understanding, Ashin immediately became alert, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura.
However, the other party obviously didn't care about his warning. He just sneered softly and slowly took off the mask.
Astonishingly, under the mask was Lingfeng's half-destroyed face.
However, when Ashin saw this face, a trace of confusion quickly flashed through his eyes.
This face seems very familiar to him, but why can't he always remember it? Some swords and swords flashed in his mind, and then three figures quickly passed by, one of which was the woman who often appeared in his mind, and
The figure of the other man seemed very similar to the person in front of him.
