Chapter 32
The Qiqiao Festival has been an amazing festival since ancient times.
Praying for blessings and making wishes has become a symbol of this day.
Let's think of tonight as a preparation for the hardships and dangers ahead.
Although the times are troubled, the necessary customs cannot be reduced, so the street scene during this Qiqiao Festival is particularly prosperous and bright.
Since Shao Yun made such a joke yesterday, Wanyan Ruojin and Shao Yu have not spoken to each other. They have always been awkward and neither of them spoke.
Somehow, it split into three waves as we walked.
Yuchi Cheng had already pulled Tian Zhinuo and rushed towards the street, disappearing without a trace.
"Hey, there's a restaurant over there!" Zou Hu ignored the other teammates and walked in that direction.
"Brother Ah Hu, you also like to drink?! Wait for me!" This girl Shao Yun looks weak, but in fact she is just a wine can.
Wanyan Haoxiang followed Shao Yun like a follower.
In the blink of an eye, everyone around them was missing, and only Wanyan Ruojin and Shao Yu were left strolling.
"Haoxiang!" Wanyan Ruojin tried to call her brother back.
"Just let him go. After he finally got out, let him have fun." Shao Yu said these words casually, and for some reason he had the desire to be alone with the people around him.
Wanyan Ruojin secretly glanced at Shao Yu beside her, unable to speak out the words that were stuck in her throat.
Shao Yu glanced at Wanyan Ruojin with his peripheral vision until he stopped talking, and slowly said, "Do you still blame me?"
Wanyan Ruojin's eyes gleamed slightly as she followed his words.
"Actually... Arnold told me what happened to your family before... At that time, I was full of hatred and could have taken it as an excuse for your Shao family to be cowardly... But now I think I might be too paranoid."
Wanyan Ruojin admitted her mistake for the first time, which was surprising to Shao Yu.
"So..." Shao Yu stopped and turned to look at her.
"So, I'm sorry. In the past two years, you have taken good care of me, but I have spoken coldly to you. Now that the truth has been revealed, I should apologize to you for my behavior."
Wanyan Ruojin had never been so serious. After two years of getting along with him, it was only from this moment that she truly let go of all her guard against Shao Yu.
Shao Yu felt relieved. His affectionate eyes made Wanyan Ruojin extremely uncomfortable. He immediately looked away and breathed a little.
Shao Yu saw her evading quickly and snickered subconsciously.
"Let's go and have a look in front." Shao Yu stepped forward.
Wanyan Ruojin didn't hear his reply, so she followed him and asked, "Hey, you haven't said yet whether you forgive me or not?"
"I should be the one thanking you for forgiving me." Shao Yu put his hands behind his back, feeling particularly comfortable.
The bustling streets and alleys, with people coming and going. Abandoning the troubles and uneasiness of the past, and focusing on the moonlight tonight, after all, it is for that golden saying: Hold your hand and grow old together with your son.
May this hard-won beauty last forever in the world.
"A Cheng! Look at this quickly!"
Tian Zhinuo came to a stall selling headwear, picked up a headband with either cat ears or dog ears, and thought it matched Yu Chicheng. Regardless of whether he liked it or not, he put it directly on his head.
Yuchi Cheng was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to touch the thing above his head, and asked, "What is this?"
"Sir, these are wolf ears!" the seller responded thoughtfully.
Yu Chicheng picked up a rabbit ear and put it on Tian Zino, "This is suitable for you." He hurriedly threw some money to the seller, and in an instant he pulled Tian Zino and ran to the other side.
Setting off lanterns is an essential part of the Qiqiao Festival, and there are countless lovers gathered around the river.
"Chengzi, let's go put out lanterns to pray for blessings!" Yu Chicheng took Tian Zhinuo's hand and ran to the river and bought two lanterns.
Just as he was about to squat down, he saw Shao Yu and Wanyan Ruojin walking towards this side. Tian Zhinuo raised his arms and called them over.
The two people looked at each other and then walked back and forth that way.
Pick up a lantern each.
The four people squatted down one after another, silently lit their lanterns, and sent their wishes to this lantern.
Yu Chicheng saw that the three people closed their eyes almost at the same time, praying piously.
"It is said that wishes cannot be spoken out, otherwise they will not work. But if we don't speak out, how can the gods know what is in our hearts? So..." Yu Chicheng put the lantern on the river, stood up, and said in a loud voice: "
I hope that Xuzhou will be peaceful and peaceful as soon as possible!"
When the other three people heard his shouting, they all opened their eyes with surprise on their faces.
"It seems to make sense." Tian Zhinuo also stood up and shouted at his lantern: "Lord God, please bless us for a safe trip, drive away the monsters as soon as possible, and return peace and tranquility to Xuzhou!"
Shao Yu and Wanyan Ruojin looked at each other and had no intention of imitating these two people. Although they were full of ambitions, they had to say that in this crowded place, they were a bit foolish.
Zou Hu, who was sitting in the pub across the river drinking, sat by the second floor window and looked down. He vaguely heard someone shouting below. He looked in the direction, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "As expected of me.
Brother Cheng, you are so disrespectful of your image in public!"
After taking a closer look, I found that except for myself, the four people were setting up lanterns by the river, and I felt dissatisfied.
"Two of them are in pairs, making me suffer from loneliness! It's really too much!" He picked up the strong drink and took another sip, "Fortunately, I have wine to accompany me, and I can be considered happy~"
"Brother Ah Hu, try this roast chicken quickly! It's the most popular dish in the whole Zhuang City~" Shao Yun brought the plate of chicken to Zou Hu, and Wanyan Haoxiang followed her immediately.
The deputy said with an indignant look: "Why didn't you tell me to eat it?"
Zou Hu looked at the two people and shook his head helplessly.
"I want to drink too!" Wanyan Haoxiang suddenly reached out to snatch the wine from Zou Hu's hand.
Zou Hu dodged with his backhand, causing the kid to miss.
"Did your sister let you drink it?"
"What does it have to do with my sister whether I drink or not?" Wanyan Haoxiang didn't want the consequences at all.
"Really want to drink?" Zou Hu raised his eyebrows.
"Yes!" Wanyan Haoxiang's extremely firm gaze moved Zou Hu, and then he threw the bottle of wine in his hand to him, "I won't carry you back when you're drunk!"
Wanyan Haoxiang tightened his throat, raised the pot of wine and poured it into his stomach. After only two large gulps, he couldn't take it anymore and couldn't help but spit it out, staining the plate of roast chicken in Shao Yun's hand.
"Hey! What can you do if you can't drink?" Shao Yun took two steps back and looked at Wanyan Haoxiang with great disgust.
Zou Hu quickly snatched the wine bottle back, caught the swaying Wanyan Haoxiang steadily, and immediately helped him sit down at the table.
"Are you really not afraid of death?" Zou Hu looked worried at his drunken appearance, turned to Shao Yun behind him and said:
"I'll go down and order him a bowl of hangover soup. You can keep an eye on him here."
After leaving these words, Zou Hu walked away.
There were only two people left in the entire private room. Shao Yun reluctantly walked to the table, put the plate over, and looked at Wanyan Haoxiang cursingly.
"It's really useless! I have a bad character and bad wine! I really don't know how someone as good as Sister Ruojin could have a brother like you?"
Looking at him one more time made him feel sick. Shao Yun immediately got up and walked to the window. The night view was still pleasing to the eye.
Little did he know that the groggy boy behind him actually did something obscene after being influenced by alcohol.
The unsuspecting Shao Yun was leisurely admiring the scenery outside the window. Suddenly a hand was placed on her waist, which made her turn around subconsciously, and then she realized that Wanyan Haoxiang was very close to her.
"What are you doing?!" Shao Yun pushed Wanyan Haoxiang away with all his strength. The boy shook his head and walked forward again, trapping Shao Yun in front of the window and sniffing her scent.
, said thiefly: "You smell so good~"
Shao Yun was frightened, slapped him in the face, and pushed him out with all his strength.
Fortunately, Shao Yun is not an ordinary little girl, her father is the best swordsman in Zhuang City.
Wanyan Haoxiang fell to the ground weakly. Shao Yun wanted to run away, but unexpectedly, the kid grabbed his heels, causing him to lose his balance and fall directly to the ground.
Wanyan Haoxiang rushed towards Shao Yun, smelling her hair, and when that sinful hand was about to touch her breast, Shao Yun raised his leg and struck him in the lifeline.
Then the whole room echoed with Wanyan Haoxiang's wails.
Zou Hu, who had just stepped onto the corridor on the second floor, heard the strange shout and ran over immediately. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the two people falling on the ground.
"What are you doing?" Zou Hu asked in shock. He had just left for a while, and these two children were going to rebel?!
Shao Yun was so frightened that his legs became weak and he couldn't stand up at the moment.
Zou Hu walked over, helped her up, and asked, "Did you fight?"
"Brother Ah Hu! He just... wanted to..." Shao Yun took Zou Hu's arm, pointed at Wanyan Haoxiang and said aggrievedly, "He actually wanted to take advantage of me while drunk!!"
Hearing these words, Zou Hu was shocked. He looked sharply at Wanyan Haoxiang, who was holding his arms and crying, and comforted the little girl beside him, "It's okay, brother is here."
Then he asked Shao Yun to stand farther away, walked towards Wanyan Haoxiang, picked up his collar, and asked: "Did you just bully Yun'er?!"
Wanyan Haoxiang slapped him down and cried, "Brother Hu, you have to make the decision for me, that crazy girl actually hit me! Look at my face, and my..."
Zou Hu was indeed quite pitiful when he saw him protecting his precious child with all his might.
"Brother Ah Hu, don't listen to his nonsense! It was obviously him who did something extraordinary to me first, and I had no choice but to do so!"
Shao Yun was so anxious that he jumped on the spot.
When Zou Hu was about to cross-examine him carefully, he suddenly heard a commotion downstairs.
Zou Hu immediately ran to the window and looked down. People in the street were running back and forth, not knowing what was going on.
Zou Hu looked left and right in the distance and saw some burly figures among the crowd. Without thinking too much, he knew they were monsters.
"How could there be a demon at this time?!" Zou Hu didn't have time to think more, turned around and ran out. When leaving, he didn't forget to tell the two people to stay here safely.
Not only Zou Hu, but the four people who had just finished setting off the lanterns also noticed something strange. Because they were in chaos, they didn't know where the disaster started.
"What happened?" Yu Chicheng subconsciously protected Tian Zhinuo behind him.
By the time they reacted, Wanyan Ruojin and Shao Yu had been scattered by the crowd.
