"I sent a brother to Cuifeng Mountain this morning to inform Aunt Liu, but she disappeared. I searched all over the mountain, but no one was found. Only this note was left." Baoshan handed it to him.

"Master Xu, Qi Zhuangshi has seen it personally: I have received the kindness of knowing and encountering, and the heaven is merciful, so I entrusted Yu Yan to her. I believe that I can treat her kindly. You have no regrets. You have returned to this remaining life. Don't look for it. You will definitely repay her in the next life.

.Liu’s final work.”

"After this remaining life, the next life, and the final chapter, is it possible that she went to seek death?"

"If there is no body, it cannot prove that she is dead." Shilin felt complicated in his heart, "Aunt Liu, why don't you wait any longer. I have sent people to investigate, so why are you going through this?" He felt in his heart.

A sense of foreboding.

"Does Yuyan know?"

"I don't know yet. She just escaped. I couldn't bear to tell her because I was afraid she would be sad. I didn't tell anyone. I came to discuss it with you first."

"Since Auntie doesn't want us to look for her, she must have gone to a place where we can't find her. But you'd better look for her secretly. It's best if you can find her. If you can't find her, find a way to tell Yu Yan. It won't be long before you hide it.

"Shilin has so many clues. Is Aunt Liu's leaving without saying goodbye connected to the mystery of Yu Yan's life?

"Where would an old lady go? Unless it's the underworld that we can't find." Baoshan leaned over to the desk where Shi Lin was sitting, playing with his brush and thinking.

"Don't think about the worst, maybe she wants to live in seclusion. It's just like a wave of ups and downs." Shi Lin sighed.

"What's going on?"

"It's nothing, I hope everything is fine." Shilin said looking out the window.

Today is the annual Osmanthus Lantern Festival. The streets are filled with all kinds of colorful lanterns, and lantern riddle papers are connected to the lanterns. People are guessing lantern riddles while admiring the lanterns. There are stalls on both sides of the road selling various sweet-scented osmanthus foods.

There were lanterns, knick-knacks, etc., and there was a lot of people and it was so lively.

"Yuyan, run slower, don't get lost." Xiaoshan warned.

"No, hurry up. Look over there, there are so many lanterns." Yuyan jumped up and walked to the front to see the lanterns. This was the first time in her life that she had visited such a lively lantern festival, which made her excited.

Unstoppable. Xiaoshan, Xiaorou, Gu'an, Qingyue and Yun'er followed behind.

"Sister Qingyue, look, that goldfish lantern is so beautiful. Let's go over and have a look." Yun'er pulled Qingyue and came closer.

"Girl, buy a lantern, look at this goldfish, how cute it is," the vendor said.

"I'll buy you one." Qingyue said to Yun'er.

"Really? That's great." Yun'er said and picked it up.

"You can choose one too." Gu'an said to Qingyue.

"Brother Xu, I want it too." Yuyan ran over and said.

"Okay, each of you can pick one." So, the three girls picked, Yun'er picked the goldfish, Yu Yan picked the rabbit, and also picked a flower basket for Xiaorou.

"Qingyue, this is for you." Gu'an picked out the crescent moon for Qingyue.

"This is good, just right for Sister Qingyue." Yu Yan shouted, Qingyue took the crescent-shaped lantern and looked at it, her face slightly red.

"Come on, come on, come and eat." Xiaoshan and Xiaorou bought a lot of osmanthus cakes, osmanthus cakes, and osmanthus candies.

"Wow, it's delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious." Yuyan took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and stuffed it in her mouth. She choked when she spoke, and the cake powder spurted out of her mouth. Xiaoshan was shocked on the spot.

It was a disaster, which made everyone laugh. Xiaorou hurriedly wiped him with a handkerchief and distributed the food to everyone.

"Brother Xiaoshan, why did you run so far?" Yu Yan said while eating.

"I have to stay away from you, so as not to smear me with makeup again." Xiaoshan joked, pretending to cover his face with his sleeves.

"I hate it, I didn't do it on purpose." Yuyan said and ran after Xiaoshan.

"Qi Xiaoshan will also have people chasing him one day." Gu'an said, and everyone laughed.

"Look, it's so lively there. Let's go take a look." Yuyan suddenly pointed to a crowded place by the river. This is a traditional activity. Men and women stand on both sides of the river and write their names on slips of paper.

Put it into the lantern, float it with the river to the other side, and then fish it up with a long pole. See whose lantern and note you get. If it is the person you like, it means it is a destiny given by God.

"Wow, there are so many lanterns. It's so fun. I want to play too." With that, Yuyan ran to the other side of the river.

"Yuyan, stop running around and come back quickly." Xiaoshan shouted and chased after him.

"Let's go over and have a look." Qingyue took Yun'er and Xiaorou to the other side.

"Sister Qingyue, Xiaorou, Yuner, come quickly, let's play too." Yu Yan waved to them excitedly.

"No, this is a shameful game, I don't want to play it," Xiaorou said.

"Oh, let's give it a try. Look how fun it is. Sister Qingyue, let's play." Yuyan walked to a table and had already picked up a pen and started writing. Qingyue looked at Gu'an on the other side.

Gu'an signaled her to write too. Qingyue then walked to the table, looked up at the moon in the sky, and started writing. Yun'er pulled Xiaorou and participated.

Lanterns were launched into the water one after another, and as they floated on the river, everyone's mood also fluctuated.

"Look, that's mine, the one floating in the front." Yu Yan shouted, while using a bamboo pole to fish up the lanterns that floated over. Xiaoshan and Gu'an also looked for the lanterns they wanted to pick up. Suddenly,

Yu Yan hooked up a lantern and screamed excitedly.

"I hooked it, hooked it." She fished out the lantern, quickly took out the note and spread it out, and the three characters "Qi Xiaoshan" stood out clearly.

"Brother Qi, I got your lantern." Yuyan shouted happily. At this time, Xiaoshan also picked up a lantern, took out the note and saw "Zhu Meilan", and he and Gu'an shouted out together.

.

"It's me, it's me, I'm here." A loud voice sounded from the other side. When everyone saw it, it was a round-faced, fat girl with flowers in her hair. She was running towards the other side at a sprint speed of 100 meters.

"Oh my God, help me." Xiaoshan ran away immediately when he saw this, and everyone laughed again. In the blink of an eye, there were more and more lanterns, and he lost sight of them. Gu'an was looking anxiously. At this time,

, Xiaorou also picked up a lantern, she blew out the candle, carefully took out the note, and hid it in her sleeve.

"Xiaorou, whose lantern are you holding? Show me quickly." Yu Yan noticed it with sharp eyes.

"No, I want to go home and see for myself."

"Why, let me take a look. Wouldn't it be wrong to know what that person looks like when we go home?"

"We will meet each other if we are destined." Xiaorou smiled mysteriously. Suddenly, a strong wind blew.

"Oh, look, the lanterns are burning up." Yun'er shouted, and everyone was shocked. One lantern was blown by the wind and burned brightly, burning the surrounding lanterns one by one. In an instant, the river surface was all red.

, everyone felt sorry, some people were trying their best to salvage their lanterns, some people scattered when they saw the lanterns burnt, Gu'an also showed a helpless expression, only Qingyue looked at the burning lanterns, the jumping flames, hooked

His eyes caught her, as if there was a suction force that fixed her in some pictures that came to mind.

"The iron locks in the sandstone cave are cold, and Mei Niang's heart is tortured..."

"I know that my energy is about to run out. In order to punish me, Jin Liao insists on beating me to death, but I am too unwilling to do so."

"Don't get excited, keep your energy."

"Keeping your vitality is just one more day of suffering." The longer she stared at the fire, these pictures flashed through Qingyue's mind in pieces, making her suddenly think of something and suddenly forget why, but the picture was very familiar.

, as if she had been involved in the incident. The more she thought about it, the more pain she felt, so she put her hands on her temples and started to stagger.

"Qingyue, what's wrong with you?" Seeing her abnormality, Gu'an hurriedly dropped the bamboo pole, ran to Qingyue from the other side, and helped her in time.

"Gu'an, I feel a little uncomfortable and want to go home and rest."

"Okay, I'll take you back."

Qingyue lay on the bed, and Gu'an checked her pulse for a while.

"It's okay. It may be because it's hot and stuffy. Just take a rest and you'll be fine."

"It's very hot today, no wonder she feels uncomfortable." Yun'er stayed with her.

"These are the osmanthus teas I bought just now. You can make them to relieve her heat. I'll prescribe some soothing medicine for her, boil it up and bring it over."

"You go to bed early, I'll go back first." Gu'an looked at Qingyue, his face was still pale, Qingyue nodded feebly.

After Gu'an left, she looked at the crescent moon lantern hanging beside the curtain. It was Gu'an's choice. Wasn't the crescent moon her own? She looked confused for a while and slowly closed her eyes.

Xiaorou returned to the room and took out the note from her sleeve. She didn't dare to look at it for a while, but she finally mustered up the courage to open it. When she saw it, she was so excited that her whole face immediately turned red.

"Oh, it turns out it's him." Yu Yan entered the house at some point and hid behind her to peek.

"When did you come in?" Xiaorou said shyly.

"I just came in, didn't you hear? No wonder, your thoughts are all on this note." Yu Yan snatched the note.

"Give it back!" Xiaorou stretched out her hand to grab it.

"No, no, come and grab it, haha." Yu Yan avoided her.

"I'll be angry if you don't give it to me." Xiaorou walked to the side and made a sullen face.

"Okay, I'll give it to you, I don't care about it." Yu Yan pushed the note to Xiaorou.

"Anyway, I already know who it is." She raised her face and said proudly.

"Yu Yan, you have to keep it a secret for me. This has been my secret since I was a child. I can't tell anyone." Xiaorou begged seriously.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Yuyan said, taking the note and putting it into the purse around Xiaorou's waist, and kept it for her like a treasure.

"I hate it." Xiaorou said shyly.

On an autumn night, with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus everywhere, Shilin walked alone on the small street by the river, admiring the moonlight. The moonlight shines on the water, reflecting the lonely thoughts in the Moon Palace. Every household has fallen asleep, and the whole street

The street was quiet and long. Suddenly, a lantern floated slowly on the river. The candlelight in the lantern flickered, which attracted Shilin to walk down the stone steps and pick it up. Seeing a note inside, he blew out the candlelight.
