The Mid-Autumn Festival was a day for family reunions.
Su Qi looked at the bright sky and seemed to see her grandfather's serious expression, her grandmother's kind smile, and her sister Suyao's happy figure. Sorrow and sadness rose in her heart. Her nose was slightly sour, her eyes were slightly wet, and tears kept rolling.
Perhaps at this moment, he was looking at the same sky as you, but he was in a different time and space, breathing a different aura.
Unknowingly, the sun had already set, and the streets began to become lively. There were more hawkers on both sides of the street. All kinds of lanterns, sachets, chrysanthemums, and so on attracted people's attention. The originally spacious streets became even more crowded.
Su Qi stood up, put on her veil, and let Zi Gan put down the silver before bringing her out.
"Miss, where are we going?" Cyanosis looked around curiously as he supported her.
Su Qi looked at the unusually lively surroundings and regretted coming out at this time. The feeling of being crowded was really uncomfortable. At this moment, Su Qi suddenly realized that she was surrounded by unfamiliar faces. The cyanosis was unknowingly washed away by the crowd and was separated from her. Su Qi had no choice. She could not go against the flow of people to find the cyanosis, so she could only continue walking forward.
It turned out that everyone had come to the lakeside. The moonlight was reflected on the surface of the lake, and the sparkling appearance was very beautiful. There were still many commoners by the lakeside setting up lanterns. Every time they set up a lantern, they would make a sincere wish to the floating lantern. There were all kinds of lanterns on the lake. The lights flickered and the light was blurry, dazzling Su Qi's eyes.
After looking at the lanterns, Su Qi walked to a relatively quiet corner.
They saw a pair of old men sitting on the stone steps. The old man was making lanterns, and the old woman was selling lanterns. From time to time, she would help the old man wipe his sweat and pass him water. This scene looked so harmonious and enviable.
Holding your hand and growing old with you, that was what it meant.
Su Qi walked forward. She suddenly had the urge to make a lamp and give it to her relatives in the distance, but how could they receive it?
Two different space-time, so close yet so far apart. There was a kind of sadness that could not be reached. The distance between space-time made her stop involuntarily.
"Little girl, do you want a lantern? The lanterns my old man makes are the best.”The old grandma suddenly spoke. She realized that she had been standing in front of their stall for quite a while.
"Can…can I make one myself?”Su Qi suddenly thought that if the water did not flow there, would the wind be able to send her blessings? Perhaps the wind could pass through the boundary of time and space and reach the sky where they were.
The old lady smiled lovingly, her eyes narrowed into a line, and said,""Of course you can. Old man, this little girl wants to make it herself. Give me the tools.”
The old man smiled and said," Alright, come here, little girl. Come here and do it. There aren't many little girls who can make lanterns these days."”
Su Qi walked to the old man and sat down. She thanked him politely and looked at the tools. She recalled the Kongming Lantern her father taught her when she was five years old. He recalled the fragments of that time, recalled the fragmented steps, and then began to make it himself. In fact, the Kongming Lantern was much simpler than the lantern made by the old man. There was no need to paint or color it, and there was no need to make all kinds of patterns.
Soon, she was done. The old man looked at the " four unlike " lantern in her hand and sighed silently in his heart. "Little girl, this can't be used. It can't be put in the water. Here, take this as a gift from this old man.”
She smiled and said to the old man," Old man, I don't want to put this in the water. I'll borrow your pen. Watch it carefully later."”
Early autumn leaves fall, drifting like a guest's heart. I don't want to fly down, but I still remember the old forest.
Su Qi wrote this poem on the Kongming Lantern, giving all her feelings to it. Looking at the four lines of the poem she had written and thinking of those real days, her eyes couldn't help but moisten. Suppressing the urge to cry, Su Qi sniffed and lit up the Kongming Lantern. She let go and let it fly into the deep sky.
Looking at the sky lanterns that were gradually getting further and further away, Su Qi put her palms together and closed her eyes. She made a wish. I wish you all the best in the distance. Suddenly, she felt a little cold, as if something had fallen. She reached out to touch her cheek, and it turned out that tears had unknowingly flowed out.
" Young lady, this…how could this be…" Su Qi secretly wiped away her tears when she heard the surprised voice from behind. She turned around and saw the surprise in the eyes of the elderly.
Kong Ming lanterns were not popular in this era, so it was normal that they did not know.
"Let me teach you." Su Qi was still sitting in her original spot, and she started to make sky lanterns again. At this moment, more and more people were looking at the sky, and more and more people gathered around the stall. It was as if everyone knew that there were lights that could fly into the sky here, and they all came over to buy them.
When Su Qi saw that the old man had learned how to make Kongming Lanterns, she secretly left the bustling place and walked silently to the lakeside. She did not want to be too ostentatious.
"What is this lamp called?" Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in her ears. Su Qi immediately felt the surrounding temperature drop rapidly. She looked at the owner of the voice and saw a square-shaped face that was not angry and looked dignified. Under the thick black eyebrows, there was a pair of bright eyes that were as cold as the stars. The eyes in the stars looked at the surroundings casually. The cold expression was out of place with the surrounding liveliness, giving off a feeling of being a thousand miles away.
"Kong Ming Lantern." Su Qi took a step back as she spoke, wanting to keep a safe distance from him. He saw her small actions and frowned slightly. Su Qi instantly felt that the temperature around her had dropped to the extreme.
"Kong Ming Lantern? Who is it?" He pondered for a moment. He asked.
Ye Suqi looked at him in confusion. Her puzzled gaze lingered on his body.
Did my comprehension ability decline? What did he mean?
He seemed to have noticed her confusion and spoke again,"Who came up with it?"
"It's me." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw his puzzled expression, mixed with a trace of disbelief. Su Qi felt a little awkward, but she could only bite the bullet and say,""Believe it or not, it's up to you." As he spoke, he wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute." Suddenly, he grabbed Su Qi's hand, making her nervous. She turned around and looked at him. He looked at her in a daze. One second, two seconds. Suddenly, he let go of her hand and asked,""Where are you going?"
Su Qi smiled and said mischievously,""I'll find a quiet corner and look at the moon.”
He suddenly looked into Ye Suqi's eyes, causing her smile to freeze on her face. Then, she saw that he seemed to be smiling. Although the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, it made people feel that the coldness on his face had instantly melted.
"Have you seen enough?" He looked at Ye Suqi mockingly, and she instantly felt her face burn. Damn it, why did it seem like she had never seen a man in her life?
However, there were too many handsome guys here. How were these girls supposed to live?
While she was letting her imagination run wild, he had already held her hand again and walked towards a small, obscure, and somewhat shabby boat parked in the corner. Suddenly, Su Qi's feet seemed to have tripped over something, and she fell forward. Looking at the ground that was getting closer and closer to her, Su Qi closed her eyes in resignation and prepared to face the pain that was about to come.
However, the expected pain did not come. Instead, she smelled a faint fragrance, like sandalwood and heavy wood. Other than the fragrance, she also felt warmth, a faint body temperature. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw his clear eyes that were like black gems. They were emitting a firm light, cold but determined, arrogant and silent.
"Thank you." She immediately stood up and broke away from his embrace. She did not dare to look at him at all. She could only feel the heat on her face. At this moment, she heard his low laughter, which made her even more depressed.
"There's no gold on the ground.”
Su Qi obediently followed him onto the boat. Suddenly, she realized why she had listened to him so much. If he asked her to go on the boat, she would go on the boat. Also, what was the situation with him on the boat? This was an ancient era filled with feudal thoughts. Love at first sight was not reliable.
"Isn't it a little too late to think about boarding the ship now?”He sat elegantly at the side. There was a small table on the boat with all kinds of pastries on it. Only then did she realize that there were a few people standing outside the boat. They were probably his attendants.
"What, do you want me to invite you to sit down?”The cold voice sounded again.
Forget it, forget it. He had already boarded the pirate ship. Let him be. Su Qi sat down on the other side of the boat. When she saw him raise his head slightly, she followed his gaze. It turned out that the top of the boat was empty, and she could see the hazy moonlight. She couldn't help but be stunned. This was probably the moon in this small world. Whoever saw it would own it.
Suddenly, Ye Suqi seemed to have heard something. She retracted her gaze and looked at him. However, he was still looking at the sky. Just when she thought that she had heard wrong, he spoke again.
"Why did you make Kongming Lanterns?"
She lowered her head, and her thoughts surged towards her like a tide. "Because the water can't reach there."
Su Qi suddenly stood up and said to him,""I'm going back."
He looked at her without saying a word. He just stared at her and stared at her for a long time before telling the people outside to dock. At this moment, his voice had returned to the coldness when they first met. She went ashore, but he did not come out. The boat rowed towards the center of the lake. Su Qi watched as it slowly drifted away. She had a feeling that she would meet that cold man again.
When she returned to the General's manor, she saw the cyanotic woman anxiously pacing back and forth at the door. Finally, she saw her young miss 'figure and hurriedly ran up. She looked left and right and said,"Miss, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time but I haven't seen you.”Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke.
Ye Suqi saw her anxious expression and felt warmth in her heart. She said,""Cyanosis, it's good to have you."
"What is Young Lady talking about? Oh right, Old Master sent many people to look for you.”Cyan pulled her towards General Ye's courtyard.
"Cyanosis, get everyone to retreat. If you want to go out and play, go out and play.”
