On a full moon night, the trees are covered with red makeup.
Countless people crowded on both sides of the river bank, men and women, young and old, each holding a bamboo pole in their hands. They put various river lanterns into the water, and then gently pushed them with the bamboo poles in their hands, and the river lanterns floated with the current. Far.
The water ripples, bringing up layers of joy and nostalgia.
Lu Xiaofeng was sitting diagonally on the window sill of a high-rise building on the river bank, with one leg bent and draped by an arm carrying a wine bottle. The other leg was hanging by the window sill, swaying in the night breeze.
He just sat there, blowing in the wind and drinking wine.
After drinking too much wine, his face became dizzy, but his mind was always awake.
When Huamanlou came up with a lantern, he saw Lu Xiaofeng sitting alone.
The prodigal son of the past is now leaning against the Zhulou, drinking alone, looking both chic and lonely.
The small building was not very high and faced the river where the lanterns were placed. However, when he sat there, he was obviously looking down at the lanterns, but no light from the lanterns in the river could be reflected in his eyes.
It turned out that the noise of the crowd had nothing to do with him.
"Lu Xiaofeng, I knew you were here."
"The building is full of flowers, look, it's Mid-Autumn Festival again."
More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now it’s Mid-Autumn Festival again.
——Chu Qi, are you okay now?
Over the years, everyone's experiences have been different.
Every year, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou would take the time to go back to the desert. The scenery in Mobei remained the same, but they just had expectations every year, and the desert returned to red clothes every year.
Princess Golden Ling, no, she should be called Queen Golden Ling now. She had quickly ascended to the throne after the turmoil over the throne had subsided.
The vigorous ambition became the pearl she wore on her crown, and the passionate fire of desire burned countless bones. She just stepped on those hideous corpses calmly, and became her own king step by step.
At first, she would speculate on the purpose of Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou entering the desert, but later she gradually got used to it.
Speaking of the Kingdom of Jintong, since Queen Jinling came to the throne, the country has rekindled its belief in the god Sahe. However, compared with the vague outlines of the gods by their ancestors, the goddess they worship now The image is much more specific.
She was dressed in red and carried a dagger on her back. She had a beautiful face and was fierce and solemn.
Even though the acquaintance between Princess Jinling and them was due to a calculation, Akhtar remembered the many life-saving graces he received. She is not a good person, but she is a good king, and the Kingdom of Golden Eyes shines in her hands.
She came to the world in the name of a pearl, and she was full of plans for her country and power. Now, she has finally become the brightest pearl in the entire desert.
It can be considered that I got what I wanted.
However, it was later heard that she had never married or had children in her life, so when she grew old, the royal branches of the Golden Tong Kingdom once again fought fiercely for the throne.
Finally, when the impatient courtiers knelt down in the Sahe Temple, her favorite place, and asked her which royal family she wanted to be the heir, she said nonchalantly - "There are some things that if I have to give If they can get it, then what else do they need to live for?"
It is said that after saying these words, this legend in the desert lay down at the feet of the statue and passed away, and the Golden Tong Kingdom also completely perished in the yellow sand during the royal turmoil that lasted for more than ten years. among.
However, this is all a story for another day.
Let's talk about Huazhaolou. After this difficulty, he changed his past casual and blind faith attitude towards people in the desert business world.
Suddenly one day, he left a letter and left without saying goodbye, saying that he would personally go down to the depths of the desert to survey and draw a map.
He had been away for five years. When he returned to the Central Plains from the desert, he had become black and thin, with scars all over his body.
At that time, Mrs. Hua looked at him and cried so hard that her heart was broken. However, after the old lady finished crying, Huazhaolou still did not receive the beating. The old man and the old lady did it together.
Fortunately, all these years of hard work were not in vain. He actually drew an extremely detailed map of the desert landscape. It was precisely because of this map that the Hua family's caravan was able to advance to a higher level.
Then Hua Man Lou, the day Chu Qi left, his eyes suddenly healed.
Although there is still blurry vision when seeing things, he can finally see things again. Everyone in the Hua family is very happy about this. Mr. Hua even kept asking who cured his eyes. He promised to reward him with a lot of money. .
How did Huamanlou respond at that time?
At that time, he was stunned for a long time, and finally he gently raised the corners of his lips under the warm eyes of his family and said with a gentle smile:
"That is a very good woman."
Without the defect of blindness, Hua Manlou has become the dream lover of almost all the girls in the world. At the beginning, everyone in the Hua family also tried to propose marriage to him, but he rejected them all.
"Hua already has a beautiful woman in his heart and is unwilling to betray his true intentions."
The tone of his refusal was so gentle, yet so firm.
After this word spread, a lot of people overtly and covertly inquired about the identity of Huamanlou's favorite.
But they all failed. For ten years, no one could find out who that person was.
So, later on, rumors began to spread in the world that Hua Manlou was crazy.
Huamanlou didn't care about this rumor. Whenever someone asked about it, he would smile and say:
"Life is a dream, whether true or false. I can't tell, am I really crazy?"
Finally, it was Lu Xiaofeng.
He is Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows;
He is the troubled vigilante;
He is a prodigal son with a lot of beauties.
However, one day, people in the world suddenly discovered that this famous prodigal son had turned back. Do you think this is strange?
He still loves drinking flower wine so much, and his friends are all over the world.
Over the years, countless beautiful women had appeared in his life. They were beautiful, smart, and glamorous, but none of them could capture his eyes or his heart.
He has become more free and unrestrained, he is a phoenix flying freely in the nine heavens, and everything in the world rises and falls in his eyes.
He loves this not-so-beautiful world. He is always busy and rarely has a chance to take a break. It seems that once he is free, a subtle sourness will appear in his heart.
The sea of people was vast and busy. He came from the flowers and passed through the flowers.
There are countless waves in the sea of suffering, lonely boats are sailing, and people are coming and going, but Lu Xiaofeng is still alone.
Time flies, Hua Man Lou is still the same Hua Man Lou, and Lu Xiaofeng is still the same Lu Xiaofeng.
None of them has ever held a sword, but they all have a shocking sword hidden in their hearts.
…
"Lu Xiaofeng, let's go. The time has come and we should go put out the lanterns."
The noise gradually subsided, and many people who had set off the river lanterns went home. There were dappled figures on both sides of the river and few pedestrians.
It's almost dawn.
"Let's go. If it's any later, she might not be able to receive the river lantern."
As in previous years, the letter Lu Xiaofeng stuffed into the river lantern was still blank, leaving only a twisted little phoenix in the lower right corner for signature.
In fact, he wanted to write a lot to Chu Qi. He wanted to complain about why Chu Qi hadn't woken up after so many years. He wanted to tell her that the world was vast and that he had encountered many bizarre right and wrongs over the years.
However, despite the myriad of thoughts in his mind, whenever he picked up his pen, there was always a trace of sadness.
Really, these things are more interesting to talk about in person...
Huamanlou's letterhead does have words on it, but there are only four words - every year, every year.
It's like this year after year, like this year after year, with just a few numbers, it's all about lovesickness.
The only difference from previous years was that this time Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou put a wooden box into the litho-shaped river lantern.
The last step is to push the long pole gently, causing the blue waves to sway slightly, and the special-shaped stone flower river lantern just drifts away with the waves.
After the river lantern drifted away, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou stood on the bank for a while before turning around and leaving.
The sky is slightly white, and the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed.
