Chapter 138

The ceremony of water god will take half an hour to finish.

When he Yan and Xiao Jue came down, it was already late. Ling Xiu and Yan min'er have long been missing. Aunt Wei said, "I've been wandering all day without eating. You and Yuyan must be hungry?"

He Yan touched his stomach, "it's OK."

"Let's have dinner first." Cui Yue said: "there are several good restaurants in Jiyang. Which one does Yuyan want to go to?"

"I think..." He Yan pointed to the river's awning boat, "go there to eat."

She had just seen that there were many people in small boats with stoves on the bow. She didn't know what was cooking inside. It was about soup. The rest of the food and wine is to ship to the shore or the vendors on the river, hand over money to buy. People can take a boat, while eating, while watching the bustling scenery on both sides of the river, watching the customs along the river, it is very special.

She had never been to Jiyang in the past. She felt fresh and wanted to have a try.

"That's a fireboat." Aunt Wei explained with a smile, "in the evening, the boatman will shake the boat to the Luoying spring. It's warm in Jiyang, so we don't have to have fireflies in summer. In the woods by the falling firefly spring, you can see the river bank in the dense forest, full of fireflies. It's very beautiful! I was lucky to have been with my master once a year, and now I think of it, it's very beautiful. "

He Yan a listen, she said more want to go, look to Cui Yuezhi: "uncle, or we go to take this fireboat?"

"Girls like these things," Cui Yuezhi said with a smile and waved his hand. "I'm not going to go. This fireboat is only for husband and wife or lovers. We can't take one boat for so many of us."

He Yan's words are stuck in his mouth. Is the water god's day in Jiyang actually the Chinese Valentine's day in the Central Plains? It's too unfriendly for those who don't have lovers. If you don't have a lover, are you not qualified to have a look at the legendary falling firefly spring? how absurd!

"Since Miss Yuyan wants to go, let's go with Huan Qing." Aunt Wei said with a smile: "there are many boats around. There should be a water stage on the road tonight. It's very busy."

He Yan is struggling. She really wants to see her, but Xiao Jue Not necessarily.

She turned to look at Xiao Jue and asked tentatively, "young master?"

"No way."

"Young master, my intention to go is true."

"Xiao Jue pulled a corner of the mouth," I see you have an inch is true. "

"I haven't seen a large area of fireflies what they look like," He Yan whispered, "come here, don't you want to see it? Don't treat me as a woman, just as a subordinate. Let's pass by here and enjoy the local customs and customs. "

"Young master, husband?" He Yan flattered him again.

Xiao Jue's mouth corner smoked: "speak well."

"If you don't promise me, I always talk like that."

Aunt Wei covered her mouth with a smile, as if she couldn't see the fight between the children. She whispered a few words to Cui Yuezhi. Cui Yuezhi nodded, and aunt Wei asked people to wave to the river. She looked for a boat and said to Heyan and Xiao Jue, "the master has already paid for the money just now. Tonight, the master on the boat will take you all over the Jiyang river. If you meet something delicious and interesting, just buy it 。 When the time comes, he will also send you to Luoying spring After a pause, he said, "I wanted to teach you to take some bodyguards with you. However, there should be a city garrison patrolling by the Luoying spring. It should be OK. But if you're not sure, you can... "

"Thank you, aunt Wei! It's not necessary to be a bodyguard... " He Yan's happy way, suddenly thought of what, asked Xiao Jue: "Lin Shuanghe and chiwu, in case they want to see it?"

Xiao Jue looked back. Chiwu had already stepped back a few steps and shook his head at him, indicating that he didn't want to see it.

It's also true that rough men don't like fireflies. Even if they like them, they don't dare to show them here.

"Let's go up first." He Yan was very happy and got on the wupeng boat first.

This boat is not as gorgeous as the boat boat on the Chunlai River in the capital city of Shuo. Even from the appearance, it can be called simple. However, it is also spacious, with ground collapsing and small stoves for cooking. If you sit here, eat something, blow the wind of the river, and look at the night markets along the river, it is really a wonderful thing in the world.

He Yan bent down to go in and sat down on the ground and looked up at the river.

Jiyang canal is very long and passes through the city. Today is a festival. Many lanterns are lit on both sides of the canal. Everyone yells and laughs and is very lively. The boatman was a middle-aged man with a hat. He was very strong, with powerful arms and rowing oars.

Heyan was lying in the bow of the boat. She was afraid of water, but now it's really lively around. Maybe Xiao Jue is around. She has forgotten a lot of her former fears, leaving nothing but fresh.

She was watching happily, but suddenly a boat passed by. The people on the boat were also a couple of men and women. The woman suddenly bowed a handful of water and threw it at her. He Yan was thrown a head and a face, and the whole person was stunned.

The boatman laughed: "Miss, you are a stranger, don't understand the rules of Jiyang. In the canal, if there are two ships meeting, we will fight against each other. People say that the canal water has raised the people of Jiyang City, but it is not the water that is splashed, but the blessing and luck! "The girl also looked at her, smiling, kind, with a bit of cunning, let people have fire also difficult to send out. He Yan thought, what kind of rules is this? You can't go out because your clothes are all wet?

In fact, he Yan's idea really wronged the people of Jiyang. Anyone who knew that he was going to fight a water battle on the boat tonight brought several clothes to change. Only her own silly wearing a dress, Cui Yuezhi has not been in a fireboat for a long time, has long forgotten this matter, will be so.

Probably because she was very aggressive, and there were several boats around her. No matter men or women, they all bent down to grab a handful of water from the canal and hit Heyan.

He Yan:

She said in a loud voice, "boatman, please shake the boat far away!"

Before the words fell, a large hand of water hit her face, and Heyan was surprised. At the next moment, someone blocked her body and pressed her head into his arms to block the oncoming water.

Xiao Jue took a look at the other side. The man who threw water at Heyan was a man who did not have the slightest sense of pity and pity. He was playing silly music at Heyan. Xiao Jue hooked the corner of his lips. The next moment, the cup in the boat made a large floating trace in the water. A large pile of water "clattered" and drenched the man from head to foot.

The man beside don't know is his wife or lover, very anxious way: "how can you like this?"

Xiao Jue looked at each other like a smile, leisurely way: "send you more blessing, do not need to thank."

He Yan said:

She raised her head from Xiao Jue's arms and said, "in fact, there is no need to worry about it." Another look around, speechless for a moment, "look frightening."

There were several boats around. I thought he Yan's reaction was very interesting. Seeing the man's lessons, he did not dare to approach. The boatman quickly rowed away, as if avoiding plague.

Xiao Jue laughed: "are you still in the mood to care about others?"

He Yan looked down at himself. Half of his body was wet with water. Xiao Jue stood up and went to the stern of the boat. He took a piece of handkerchief for her and threw it over. Then he sat by the small stove where the tea was boiling. "Come on."

He Yan Yiyan said in the past, Xiao Jue said: "dry your hair."

He Yan obediently should a, will be long hair in the small stove, by the hot side of the roast side way: "governor, are you hungry?"

"Are you hungry?"

He Yan touched his stomach, "very."

She has always had an amazing amount of food. Xiao Jue sighed and said something to the boatman before going. Soon, the boatman shook the boat and arrived at a water market.

In fact, there are dozens of boats in the water market. There are snacks, hot tea, snacks, and even roast chicken and roast goose. It smells very beautiful. The boat stopped at the water market, and Xiao Jue asked Heyan to go to the bow of the boat: "pick yourself."

All the food on the boat has the characteristics of Jiyang, which is quite different from that of shuojing. He Yan is greedy for this one and reluctant to give up that one. He chooses a little bit of each, so he holds a large pile of oil paper bags. Xiao juemer took a moment and asked, "are you a bucket?"

"If you can't finish eating, you can take it back to Lin Shuanghe," He Yan said with a smile, "I've been very restrained."

Xiao Jue speechless for a moment, he also picked a few, paid the silver, helped her to carry the things in the oil paper bag onto the ship.

With the food and drink, Heyan was very happy. Sitting on the ground collapse, looking out of the boat, happily open the paper bag to eat and drink. She had a good appetite. After a day's starvation, she had no image. Xiao Jue tolerated: "pay attention to your manners."

He Yan didn't care about it. He still went his own way. He reminded him that he didn't find out twice. Xiao Jue gave up.

She put her hands on the small window of the boat, and suddenly remembered that when she was a teenager, she also took a boat to go to Jinling with her classmates from Xianchang hall. At that time, Xiao Jue was also there. The first time she took a boat, she was very seasick. She vomited several times on the boat. She almost didn't die on the boat.

Now I don't feel seasick, but the young people in those years went to the West and East, and finally, Xiao Jue was still with him.

Things are unpredictable.

"There seems to be a water stage over there." He Yan said in surprise: "boatman, can you shake the boat to that end?"

The boatman said, "OK." Rowing the oar, the boat rowed to the water stage.

Under the stage, I don't know what to support. Only some wooden posts were left on the water, and on the wooden posts, the stage was built. The onlookers around had to sit on the boat and look up. The faces of the performers were painted with oil paint, and they were singing vigorously. Wusheng dance is very good-looking, babbling, although you can not understand, but the lively is very lively.

There was also a boat selling honey water to drink. Heyan ran to the bow of the boat and saw that many girls were buying it. Seeing he Yan's obsession, the peddler explained with a smile: "girl, they are all fresh. Are you tired of watching the opera? We have everything here, litchi cream water, red bayberry water, apricot crisp drink, plum wine, sugarcane juice, pear juice, sweet bean soup... "

He Yan saw that there was a white and cool looking cup with red round on it. He asked, "what is that?""This is sugar and ice cold. It's sweet and cool. If you take a bite of it, you can have a drink, girl

He Yan was greedy and was about to talk. Xiao Jue asked, "is this cool?"

"It's cool," replied the peddler warmly. "The ice hasn't melted. It's cool!"

"No, it's heat exchange." He said.

He Yan a Leng, that peddler is very enthusiastic way: "then sweet bean soup? We just cooked it just now. It's warm in my hands. Oh, did the girl just get wet? " Laughing, the peddler ladled a spoonful of sweet bean soup from the bucket into a bowl and handed it to Heyan. He said, "it's better to drink more warm and warm yourself. It's still childe's consideration."

He Yan was in a daze. At the moment, he didn't care about what the man said. He asked Xiao Jue, "don't you drink some?"

"I don't drink sweet." He turned and walked into the boat.

He Yan asked the peddler, "what's not sweet?"

"Perilla is not sweet to drink."

He Yan felt several copper plates from his sleeve: "another cup of Perilla drink."

She took sweet bean soup in one hand and perilla drink in the other. She followed Xiao Jue into the boat and handed it to Xiao Jue: "this is not sweet. I asked. Drink, I'll treat you! "

Xiao Jue said nothing: "I gave you your money."

"It's about the heart. How can you be so fussy?" He Yan scooped a spoonful of sweet bean soup. The sugar water was sweet and warm. She narrowed her eyes and said, "it's really good to drink!"

Xiao Jue Xiang said: "it's good to feed."

"You don't know," He Yan said, "I seldom eat sweet food before, but actually I like sweet food very much." She said, "Jiyang is so nice. I also want to be a Jiyang person."

"You can stay here."

"How can that be done?" He Yan sighed. "There are always many other things to do."

As he spoke, he saw a craftsman sitting in the bow of the boat, kneading a dough figurine. What he sang as like as two peas on the stage, he pinched what he had done. The grass was already covered with a face man, and the child was born like a flower boy who sang opera.

He Yan was lying on the bow of the boat. He watched the dough change rapidly in this man's hands without blinking. The old man who pinched the dough said with a smile: "if you like, can you buy one? I can make you a noodle like you

"Really?"

"Of course."

He Yan some heart, but hesitated for a moment, "or forget it."

Xiao Jue is cooking something on the small stove of boiling tea. She looks up at her and asks, "why not?"

He Yan turned around and said in a low voice, "I am a woman now. I can buy it. But if you go back to the station, you have to dress up as a man. It's inconvenient to take this man with you. If you find it as evidence, it's not appropriate. Since you always have to lose it, why have it? "

Xiao Jue stares at her, suddenly raises the lip to smile, the light way: "you this person, the stature is not tall, the heart eye is quite many." He kowtowed, and a string of copper coins flew to the craftsman's table, "make one for her."

The old man smilingly put away the copper money: "OK."

He Yan turned back and went to Xiao Jue: "how did you buy it! I can't take it back when I leave Jiyang. Why waste money? "

"You don't like it," he said with his lips hooked. "If you like it, you can buy it. In this world, if you don't fight for it because you're afraid of losing, it's too boring."

Seeing that he Yan was still motionless, he scoffed at him, but his tone was very calm. "Miss Heda, this is Jiyang. Today you can do whatever you want to do without worrying about it. You are what you are. You can say what you like and what you hate. You don't have to aggrieve yourself, and you don't have to cheat everyone. "

He Yan was speechless for a moment, but he didn't know what to say.

After a while, she said, "I can really do whatever I want to do?"

Xiao Jue shrugged, "do whatever you want."

He Yan sat down.

The old man who kneaded the dough was very skillful, but in a moment, he kneaded one and said to Heyan at the other end: "Miss, the dough man is ready!"

He Yan said thanks and took the dough man from his hand. The dough was as like as two peas, and the lace of the skirt was the same as her. It was beautiful. She saw that God asked Xiao Jue a long time, "do you think she looks like me?"

Xiao Jue replied coldly: "more than you."

He Yan was used to run by him, but he was not angry. He said, "I looked like a woman."

She saw that Xiao Jue was taking something out of the jar on the stove and putting it in a bowl. Heyan went over and looked at it. She did not know when Xiao Jue cooked a bowl of clear soup noodles. The noodles were snow-white, with a little soy sauce, but no green onions. There was only an egg lying in it. A little green vegetables gave off a pungent aroma.

He Yan was stunned. She was busy looking at the scenery outside and eating. She didn't know when Xiao Jue cooked a bowl of noodles. She asked, "governor, are you hungry?"Xiao Jue did not speak, just pushed the bowl in front of her and handed her a pair of chopsticks: "eat it."

"For me?" He Yan took the chopsticks and was flattered, "why? I bought a lot of food, and I didn't... "

"Hungry" word has not come out, heard in front of the man light way: "today is not your birthday?"

He Yan was stunned.

After a while, she asked How do you know? " Even in front of Cui Yuezhi, what she said is A few days after the equinox.

"Miss heta," Xiao Jue said slowly, "do you know that your deception is uncertain and sometimes full of flaws."

He Yan did not speak. After a while, she said softly, "so today, the reason why you treat me so well is that you know today is my birthday, right?"

"Good?" Xiao Jue raised her eyebrows: "you seem to have a lot of misunderstandings about good. How am I doing to you? "

No. He Yan heart way, in addition to Liu Bu forget, she did not meet such a good person as Xiao Jue to her. No one has ever remembered her birthday. In the past, they called her "he Rufei". It was herufei's birthday, not hers.

But today's bowl of birthday noodles was made by Xiao Jue for Heyan.

She raised her head to Xiao Jue and said with a smile, "governor, you are very kind to me. Thank you."

The girl's eyes were crooked and she was clearly smiling, but her eyes were a little red because of the heat. Xiao Jue was slightly stunned and was about to speak. Heyan was already engrossed in eating noodles.

He didn't say anything.

The sky is completely dark, the sky is like ink, sprinkled with thousands of stars, and the water has become a star river, pressing a boat of old dreams like this.

The boatman rowed slowly, I don't know when, has left the most prosperous middle section of the river, there are fewer boats around, there is a cool wind blowing. It makes people happy.

A little dark green streamer passed the water and stopped at the bow.

The boatman has stopped rowing and the boat is floating quietly on the water.

Heyan took Xiao Jue and went out to have a look. At the edge of the spring and deep in the forest, countless bright or weak streamers were floating around the water and the woods. Such as the light rain, a thousand flying lights, reflecting into people's eyes.

"It's beautiful." He Yan sighed.

In the past few years, it's not that I haven't seen any good scenery. It's just that I can't enjoy the scenery on my way to the army. It's been many years since I put everything down like this.

Such a night, she will never forget. He Yan turns his head and sees Xiao Jue lying down in the bow of the boat with his hands behind his head and looking at the fireflies in front of him. After thinking about it, she also lay down beside Xiao Jue. She put her hands behind her head and looked at the brilliance that the night wind could not blow out, as if the stars were at hand.

"Today's birthday is the happiest birthday I've ever had. Thank you, governor." She said.

Xiao Jue refused to comment and said, "when you are born, you should make a wish? After all, there is a beginning and an end. "

"Make a wish?" He Yan said, "I have no wish."

Praying for God's gift is a kind of self deception. You have to fight for what you want.

"So indifferent?"

"If I really want to say, I hope there is someone in the world who comes for me."

Not for he Rufei, not for general Feihong, but just for her.

"What a wish." Xiao Jue sneered, "I thought you were going to say that if you were to add officials to the rank of marquis and make contributions, then you would be in the nine flag camp."

The light in the woods is shining in the evening. Maybe the wind is too good tonight, the scenery is too wonderful, she also wants to say a few more words.

She said, "governor, have you noticed that since I was with you, I've always been acting as a stand in for someone else. One is Cheng Lishu, the other is Wen Yuyan. Next time, I don't know who I am

"Aggrieved?" Xiao Jue said

"No, just..." She looked at the distance with some melancholy, "sometimes I will forget who I am when I am a stand in for a long time."

"Governor, you must remember my name."

"My name is..."

"Heyan."

Facing the sky, the girl began to smile. Xiao Jue looked at her side and saw that her eyes were clear. In her happiness, she seemed to have a layer of dark sorrow. As a result, the brightness of the past was gone. It seemed that there were countless sufferings that were hard to express. Finally, she was swallowed one by one.

When he looked back, he also looked at the sky. In the field, the lights were flying, the stars were like waterfalls, and the cool wind was blowing through people's cheeks. The water was heavy and uncertain.

I do not know how many people will fall into the dream tonight, and how many people have seen the twilight in the night.

The young man raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly, "you can remember such a bad name once you listen to it."

"Don't worry, I forget, Miss Croft."

"Heyan."
