Chapter 184 Lantern Festival Lights
On the night of the Lantern Festival, the galaxy was about to fall, the moon was on the stairs, and the streets were burning, which was dazzling. The Lantern Festival was lively, singing and dancing, and the yellow dragons were leaping, which was dazzling. There was a lamp without a moon, but no spring was not counted. Spring came to the world, people were like jade, and the lamp burned the moon was like silver. The street was full of pearls and green, and the village was like singing and singing, and the music was like the society god. If you don’t show the fragrance, how can you get rid of this good time?
The Lantern Festival is full of moon and lanterns, and it is a good time. The most interesting thing is to watch lanterns and watch lantern riddles. There are nearly ten thousand candles on the Water Palace Lantern Mountain, with various forms and hanging them on the shelf, dozens of feet high, which is very spectacular. Xu Lang and others arrived at the Light Mountain. When the Water Palace Lantern Mountain was released, a clear stream came out from the fingers of the Dragon King and Dragon Mother. After passing the turtle prime minister standing below, serving the water boy, gathered on a narrow platform, and then poured down to form lanterns in the shape of waterfalls, fish, shrimps, crabs, etc., which appeared vividly against the backdrop of the water mist, giving people a feeling of being in the Dragon Palace in the water.
After looking at the Shui Palace Lantern Mountain, the group of people headed towards the lantern rack set up by the government office, holding Xiao Yanhua, and noticed that Xu Lang quietly took Chen Danxia's hand. Chen Danxia did not shake him away, and smiled sweetly at him. The tenderness in his eyes was clearly visible, and his heart couldn't help but sink into the bottom of the valley. If he hadn't always been good at hiding his emotions, he would have shown a look of loss on the spot.
Shen Bai was closely accompanied by Yuan Qingyin, Shen Baiyu and Cheng Yu walked at the end. They were responsible for taking care of Chen Danxun, Chen Dannian and Shen Danbi.
The group arrived at the lantern shelf. Because there was someone in front of them guessing riddles and winning lanterns, they waited for a moment, walked over, and said a few words to the middle-aged man in gray clothes guarding the shelf. The middle-aged man signaled them to guess riddles. The lanterns on the shelf were made by skilled craftsmen in the official shop. They were all exquisitely crafted. There was a note under the lantern, and there was a riddle written on it. The lanterns hanging on the top are the largest and most exquisite of all lanterns. Of course, the riddles on it are also the most difficult.
"Brother Lang, can you help me win that lamp?" Chen Danxia pointed at the lantern and said.
"Okay." Xu Lang agreed readily.
Cheng Jue's eyes flashed, he patted Xiao Yanhua and asked, "Which lamp Huahua wants?"
"Huahua wants the rabbit lantern." Xiao Yanhua slapped.
"Little girl, let your father help you guess the riddle. If you guess it, I will give you this lantern." The middle-aged man smiled kindly. Cheng Jue's face was slightly heavy. Is he so old?
Xiao Yanhua said in a silly voice: "It's not dad, it's second uncle."
The middle-aged man smiled at Cheng Jue apologized, but Cheng Jue could only be annoyed, but could not care about him. Xu Lang curled the corner of his lower lip. He didn't have much contact with Cheng Jue. Today is the first time he came out with Cheng Jue while Shen Danxia was there, but he had already keenly felt that Cheng Jue had the same thoughts as him, but his little girl didn't notice it. It was a blessing.
"Huahua, I can guess the mystery third uncle." Cheng Xu squeezed over and said.
Chen Danxun read out the riddle, "Half exposed, half covered, half shade, half sunny. What is this?"
"You are too stupid, you can't even have such a simple riddle." Cheng Yan said contemptuously.
Chen Danxun was scolded, but he was so kind that he didn't think he was offended. Chen Dan glanced at Cheng Xuan, "It's simple, do you guess it?"
"I guessed it, this is a tile. The tile is a tile, right? " Cheng Xu raised his eyebrows proudly.
The middle-aged man smiled and took off the lantern and handed it to Xiao Yanhua, "Little girl, this lantern is yours."
"Thank you uncle." Xiao Yanhua said politely.
"The little girl is so good." The middle-aged man laughed, "How many people still need to continue guessing?"
"Guess, I must continue guessing." Chen Danbi walked to Xu Lang's left at some point, "Cousin Lang, I want that butterfly lamp."
Xu Lang didn't expect that Chen Dan was thick-skinned and bold, and his indifference and hostility could not scare her away. Chen Danxia was silent and lowered her eyelids. Chen Dan was clearly provoking her, and she disdained to respond. Xu Lang said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to go back immediately, just stay away from us." With his temper, he would just let Chang Yan send people home neatly, but the brothers Shen Bomi were there, so he didn't do anything.
Chen Dan came over and pulled Chen Danbi, gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you want to die?" This sister really didn't want to care too much, and she refused to listen to her words. When she saw Xu Lang, she was like a bee seeing flowers. She knew it was a moth flying into the fire, but she still insisted on getting it over.
"I can't guess riddles, but I want that butterfly lamp." Chen Danbi said with a delicate and aggrieved face.
"If you want a lantern, just guess it yourself. If you guess it, the lantern is yours. If you can't guess it, just give up and buy one next to you." Chen Dannian glared at her, "It's not that there is no butterfly lamp to sell it. When you go out, your aunt gave you the money."
"I understand." Chen Danbi looked at Xu Lang with tears in his eyes, but saw him talking to Chen Danxia, and he ignored her. His heart was broken. She was not as good as Chen Danxia, so that he ignored such a situation?
Yuan Qingyin was acting coquettishly with Shen Bomi, pointing at the lantern to ask him to guess that the lantern was hanging slightly lower than the phoenix lamp at the top, and the riddle above was "In front of the fallen wind when the sound of Jiugao Scream."
"This is probably the name of the medicine." The middle-aged man saw Shen Bomi frowning and said kindly.
Shen Bomi did not dabbled in medicine books. Although the Cheng family was not a medical family, there were three medicine shops under his name. Cheng Jue also read medical books in his spare time. After thinking about it, he guessed it. However, he did not directly give the answer, but recited a poem, "The Wind Bowl is a wine jar."
Shen Bo secretly reminded him, his eyes lit up and he asked, "But are the crane lice?"
"That's right." The middle-aged man took off the lantern with a support and handed it to Shen Bomi.
Shen Bomi handed the lantern to Yuan Qingyin.
"Thank you." Yuan Qingyin thanked Shen Bo secretly with tender eyes.
Xu Lang glanced at Cheng Jue, and his eyes fell on the riddle of the phoenix lamp at the top, "I know, there is someone behind me to pick it; why did you come out to guide you?" After pondering for a moment, Xu Lang said: "Lantern."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Young master is amazing, this lantern is yours." After saying that, he took the bamboo support and supported the lamp, lit the candle inside, and handed it to Xu Lang.
Xu Lang handed the lantern to Chen Danxia.
Chen Danxia smiled with a bent eyebrows and said, "Thank you, Brother Lang."
Cheng Jue's lips were pursed tightly, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. It turned out that he had already lost her.
Shen Baiyu helped Chen Danxun guess a lantern with a monkey painted. Cheng Yu wanted to show off and guessed six lamps in one breath. After Cheng Jue stopped him, he stopped him with unsatisfactory intentions. Cheng Jue said again: "I can't get so many lanterns, so I just need two lamps for the two girls Shen."
The two girls Chen mentioned in Cheng Jue pointed to Chen Dannian and Shen Danbi who had not yet received the lantern. He was gentle and thorough in his work. This was just a common manner. He did not want Chen Dannian and Shen Danbi to feel that they were excluded, but he did not expect that if he did this, Chen Dannian, who was hitting a wall in front of Xu Lang, would have a lot of trouble later.
"Little Nine Sister, how about it? I'm the best guessing riddles, right?" Cheng Xi bragged before, so he naturally had to be proud of Shen Danxia.
Chen Danxia curled his lips, "You can guess all are simple riddles, they are not the most powerful. I'll create a riddle, and it's only amazing if you guess it."
"If you come out, I will definitely be able to guess." Cheng Xu said confidently.
Chen Dan thought for a while, his eyes turned, and asked with a smile: "What kind of thing always says you want to come, but you have never really arrived?"
"Are you riddle?" Cheng Qi scratched his head.
Chen Danxia raised his eyebrows, "What is it not a riddle? Guess it quickly. If you can't guess it, just admit defeat."
"Who knows if you are talking nonsense?" Cheng Xi refused to admit defeat so easily.
"Tomorrow." Cheng Jue and Xu Lang said the answer at the same time.
Cheng Xi hadn't come back to his senses yet, "What tomorrow?"
"The answer to this riddle is tomorrow. Brother Cheng, you are so stupid. Brother Cheng and Brother Lang are still powerful." Chen Dan raised his lips and smiled.
Cheng Jue and Xu Lang looked at each other, and each of them left aside, they are now enemies, not friends.
"Jiu'er is the most powerful. You can think of such a difficult riddle." Yuan Qingyin hugged Chen Danxia's shoulder and said with a smile.
Chen Danxia smiled guiltily.
The girls had lanterns in their hands, and the group did not rush in front of the lantern stand, and carried the lanterns to stroll along the street. On the Chinese New Year, in addition to the lantern mountains built by the government, merchants also set up lanterns to attract customers, competing for beauty, and being so beautiful.
Chen Danxia stopped in front of a stall selling masks, "Brother Lang, buy masks and play with them."
"Okay, which one do you want?" Xu Lang asked with a doting smile.
Chen Danxia pointed at the beauty mask, "I want that." Then he picked up a scholar mask for Xu Lang.
Yuan Qingyin picked a hero mask, picked a hero mask for Shen Baimi, and said with a smile: "We are a pair."
"Huahua, what mask do you want? I bought it for you." Chen Danxia asked Xiao Yanhua, who was biting the candied haws.
"Rabbit." Xiao Yanhua's saliva splashed out.
Chen Danxia pinched a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and smiled and said, "The lantern wants rabbits, and the mask wants rabbits. Our Huahua is a little rabbit!"
"Huahua is a little rabbit." Xiao Yanhua narrowed her eyes with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll buy Huahua the little rabbit mask. Brother Cheng, what mask do you want?" Chen Danxia asked with a smile.
"Little Jiumei helped me pick one." Cheng Jue smiled. Xu Lang's eyebrows moved slightly.
"I really want to choose?" Chen Danxia asked with a terrible smile.
Cheng Jue nodded slightly, and Chen Danxia picked up the mask of an old fisherman for him. Cheng Jue was not surprised at all, and handed Xiao Yanhua to Cheng Yu and hugged him, and went to take the mask. Chen Danxia asked in surprise: "Brother Cheng, are you really wearing it?"
"How can I not wear the mask that Xiao Jiumei chose for me?" Cheng Jue said with a gentle smile.
"This is not good, I'll help you change one." Chen Danxia just teased Cheng Jue, but he didn't really want him to wear the old fisherman's mask, and changed him to the mountain god's mask. The mountain god of this era is a handsome young god, and a pair of fairy lovers with the flower god.
Shen Baiyu picked a tiger-head mask for himself and put it on his head to tease Xiao Yanhua, "The girl group of little cousins is a big tiger. Huahua, are you afraid?"
"Fake it, don't be afraid." Xiao Yanhua was clever.
Cheng Yu picked up the fox mask, Chen Danxun picked a butterfly mask, and Chen Dannian stopped at the beauty mask for a moment. He didn't dare to choose the same one as Shen Danxia's choice. After hesitating for a moment, he chose the fairy's mask. Chen Dannian pointed at the Flower God's mask, "I want this."
Chen Dan was very imaginative, but unexpectedly, Chen Dan quickly frowned and advised: "Sister Six, you might as well change one."
"Why do you need to change it? I like this, this looks good." Chen Dan said in a coquettish voice.
"This is not suitable for you to wear. You can wear the fairy'e, the fairy'e is also pretty good-looking." Chen Danxun suggested.
"The fifth sister has chosen the fairy girl. I don't want to be like her. I want the god of flowers." Chen Danbi pouted, with a delicate expression on his face.
"There are only a few types of masks, people all over the street are wearing them. If you are not the same as me, just like others. Look at the people who wear the Flower God's mask over there." Chen Dannian curled his lips.
Of course, Chen Danbi knew that she could not be the only one wearing the Flower God mask on the street, but it was enough for her to wear the Flower God among this group of people. At a glance, they knew that she and Cheng Jue were a couple, and she had to be this one.
Chen Dannian's words made some sense. Chen Danxun didn't say much. Xu Lang asked Chang Jian to count the mask to the stall owner. The group continued to move forward. Not far, Cheng Jue took off the mountain god mask and held it in his hand. Not only that, he also took a few steps away from Chen Danzi who was approaching him.
When we reached the street, people seemed to be diverted, not as crowded as before. The group went to the stall to have a bowl of Lantern Festival, and then turned to Yueming Lane to see the Huogong Dengshan. But before we even got to the place, we heard someone shouting in front of us, "Dengshan is falling! Dengshan is falling!"
Then he looked at a large group of people and rushed towards him in panic. Cheng Jue and Xu Lang reacted quickly and immediately sent the person to the high platform next to him. Chen Danxia held Xiao Yanhua in his arms, Yuan Qingyin stood beside her, holding her shoulders; Chen Danxun, Chen Dannian and Shen Danbi held hands with each other; Cheng Jue and others stood in front of them, Chang Yan and Chang Momo Mowowuying and a few servants stood in front of Cheng Jue and the others, trying hard to resist the crowd coming and prevent them from squeezing the masters.
Chen Danxia stood high and looked far away. People on the other side of Dengshan squeezed here. People who didn't know that business accidents wanted to go over to see Dengshan, and they also squeezed here. People gathered together. This narrow alley was crowded and people kept rushing over.
"Ah! Help, help!" A cry for help came from the crowd, but in just a few sounds, it disappeared, but Chen Danxia saw that a woman was squeezed to the ground.
If there are too many people, stampede accidents are prone to occur. Chen Danxia saw that the people on both sides did not notice it, and they were still crowded together and pushed it. The situation was extremely chaotic. He couldn't help but shouted loudly: "Don't squeeze, stop, stop, stop, stop."
But the situation was too chaotic, and the crowded crowd was still yelling, completely drowning her soft voice. Chen Danxia asked herself anxiously: "What should I do?"
It was originally the Lantern Festival, but there was such an accident. If the problem was not solved in time, the Jindu tomorrow would have white banners spreading around the city, and the crying sounds shook the sky.
"Scream together." Cheng Jue and Xu Lang spoke in unison again.
