The most worthwhile thing to see during the Hungry Ghost Festival is when the river lanterns are released.
Li Yue said: "At night, people will put lanterns on the river. The scene of lanterns floating on the river is very beautiful."
Girls like this kind of romantic scene.
In romantic scenes, girls have little resistance.
I have never seen Li Yue looking forward to any festival before.
Lunch for the two was very simple. They used the extra garlic to make a bowl of garlic lettuce.
Li Yue ate the refreshing garlic lettuce with gusto.
Zhang Yang said: "Did you know? In fact, it is easy to choke or bite your tongue when you eat while talking."
While Li Yue was eating, she wanted to say something but then swallowed it.
After the meal, Zhang Yang confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the garlic grown in the yard.
It's still a while before the evening lantern show.
Zhang Yang was lying on the recliner, preparing to take a nap.
Not long after I closed my eyes, I could smell Li Yue's scent.
Feeling her hair fall on his face.
Opening his eyes slightly, he saw her curled up next to him.
Li Yue whispered: "Let's go to the lake to put lanterns in the evening."
"Um."
Zhang Yang responded to her words.
I heard Li Yue say before that she has never met her biological mother.
Her biological mother died in childbirth when she was giving birth to her.
I lost my mother right after I left home.
There is not even a figure of mother in my mind.
All that was left of her was a hazy image.
Li Yue has always hidden that portrait.
She must have put this light on for her biological mother.
Feeling Li Yue's body temperature, Zhang Yang felt that his clothes were being grabbed by her, as if he was being supported.
Her breathing sounded louder than before.
Zhang Yang gently stroked her back, hoping to calm Li Yue's emotions.
Zhang Yang slept until dusk, then opened his eyes.
Li Yue was still curled up in her arms.
"What time is it?"
Li Yue's words were very low, as if she didn't want to remember.
Zhang Yang said: "It's evening."
Li Yue slowly sat up, stretched out comfortably and said, "Let's go! Let's watch the river lanterns."
If you want to put up lanterns, you can actually buy lanterns in the market now.
Li Yue took out a lantern from the house.
This girl was prepared in advance.
The two walked out of the house together.
Zhang Yang closed the door, and Li Yue stood at the corner of the street and looked around.
"What are you looking at?"
"Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang are not here."
"I guess they all went to meet their sweethearts."
Li Yue whispered: "It's not good to say that to others behind their backs."
Listening to her scolding, Zhang Yang took her hand and walked towards Qujiang Pool.
Feeling the coolness of her palms, I found that she held on tighter.
The two walked hand in hand towards Qujiang Pool.
It attracted the attention of many pedestrians on the street for a while.
It's hard not to attract attention when walking hand in hand on the street without paying attention to the difference between men and women.
As we approach Qujiang Pool, we can see all kinds of men and women.
While walking, Li Yue said: "In fact, very early on, the Hungry Ghost Festival was used to celebrate the harvest and tell the ancestors that this year's harvest was good. Rice was usually used as a sacrifice."
Zhang Yang grinned and said: "I haven't read any books, so I don't know very well."
Li Yue is very beautiful in a light blue outfit.
The people around saw Li Yue holding the hand of the man next to her.
He knew that the girl in the light blue dress already belonged to someone, so he had no choice but to look away.
Li Yue said: "If you haven't read the book, you can still tell so many interesting stories."
Zhang Yang said: "I heard it from others at that time."
Li Yue looked at him suspiciously.
Zhang Yang nodded vigorously and said, "Well, I just heard other people tell stories."
After finding a suitable excuse, Zhang Yang reconfirmed it.
Arriving at the edge of Qujiang Pond, sacrifices were being held on the balcony in the distance.
Thank you for the harvest, inform your ancestors about this year's harvest, and pray for the coming year.
Li Yue said: "This is called respecting ancestors and showing filial piety. At this time, people will have people who miss them and people who will be grateful."
Zhang Yang watched from a distance, and his wife was like a little teacher teaching her along the way.
There is a shop selling jewelry on the roadside.
Zhang Yang accidentally saw two bone hairpins.
Bone hairpin?
Taking another closer look, Zhang Yang felt that these two bone hairpins looked like toothbrushes.
The toothbrushes made of wood and boar bristles have been in use for some time at home.
Zhang Yang asked the lady who put up the score, "How much do those two bone hairpins cost?"
The lady looked at the girls wearing light blue clothes beside Zhang Yang, and said with a smile: "Ten cents."
Zhang Yang took out ten coins and said, "I want it."
Taking the bone hairpin, Li Yue said: "Is it for me?"
The texture of this bone hairpin is very good, it should be made from beef bones.
Zhang Yang put the bone hairpin away and said, "I use it to make toothbrushes. The wooden toothbrushes we have at home have been used for a long time. The toothbrush made of bones is more durable."
"Okay... okay."
Li Yue whispered.
Zhang Yang glanced at her, she seemed to be expecting something.
"I'll buy it for you when I get something better."
"whee."
Li Yue grinned.
Sure enough, the nature of girls has not changed since ancient times.
Passing by an open space, people were discussing around a tree.
A foreigner stood by a tree and shouted: "Are there no people in your country?"
Hearing this, Li Yue also stopped and frowned at the foreigner.
Zhang Yang looked sideways and saw that the man was dressed as a Tibetan man.
The Tibetan man said: "Whoever can figure out how tall this tree is, I will give this jade pendant in my hand to him."
There were many people watching.
Most are young men.
Li Yue whispered: "This person is so arrogant."
Zhang Yang said: "It is indeed a bit arrogant."
"How do we know how tall this tree is if you don't let me touch it?"
A young man said loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, people nearby echoed him.
"Yes, should we measure it with our eyes?"
"Aren't you making things difficult for me?"
There was another discussion.
The Tibetan man added: "If you want to measure this tree, why bother cutting it down?"
Zhang Yang looked up at the tree, which was quite tall.
Li Yue whispered: "How do you measure this tree?"
Zhang Yang whispered: "How do I know?"
Li Yue looked at the tree, then at Zhang Yang and said, "I know you must have a way, but you just don't want to talk about it or be in the limelight."
After standing there for a while, Li Yue spotted Wei King Li Tai standing in front of the crowd.
And Li Tai didn't seem to notice him either.
Li Yue looked Li Tai up and down, remembering that when he was in the palace, Li Tai loved to compete with the prince for things.
Unexpectedly, Li Tai has grown so tall now.
If you think about it carefully, it has indeed been four years since we last met.
When Li Tai was a child, he still heard the emperor's calls every time.
