A few days passed in a blink of an eye. I still delivered tofu to Jianghu Inn on time and ate special plain noodles costing three cents. However, Mrs. Mu never showed up again. There was no one in room No. 1 of Tianzi. I don’t know if she lived there.
In the Mu Mansion, thinking of Captain Mu's cold sword, I still didn't have the courage to find out.
I would still visit Lao Meng every two or three days, chat with him, and even learn to make a crappy basket, but I never met Long Yuhan again.
As for Li Huichun, I really didn’t find anything unusual. If he hadn’t stopped me from treating my mother last time, and if I hadn’t heard Long Yuhan say that it was difficult for thirty people to defeat him alone, I would have really thought
He is just an ordinary doctor.
Hey, I don’t know how I handed over the task to Xiao Mu. Fortunately, he didn’t set a time limit for me. But, if this continues, will my wish to become an elite secret agent still come true?
Xiao Mu? It's strange to say that this man has not appeared for several days, just like the dew on the tip of the grass that evaporates when the sun hits it. Is it because he is afraid of the heat that he doesn't show up?
I suddenly felt that everything around me was strange, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.
"It's so lively! Shall we go put out lanterns at night?"
"Okay, okay! I'll take Brother Xiang, and you can also call Brother Wang."
"Well, I'll wait for you at the same place at the beginning of the day."
Two women passed me and said excitedly.
Put out lanterns?
I looked around and saw that there were indeed more lantern sellers on both sides of the street. Even Shopkeeper Liao, who sold Wenzhai antiques above the Huichun Hall, was busy hanging lanterns on stands on the roadside.
"Did you see any magpies today?"
"No."
"Do you know why?"
A family of four was eating wontons on the roadside. The woman smiled and asked a pair of young children.
The two children, about seven or eight years old, shook their heads, looking forward to their mother's answer.
"Because, they all flew to build a bridge today. There is a pair of lovers in the sky. They love each other very much, but they are separated by the Milky Way. They can only meet each other on this day every year, waiting for the magpies to build a bridge.
.”
"Ah, they are so pitiful." The girl pouted.
The man on the side touched the child's head and quickly changed the subject: "How about we go out to watch the lanterns at night?"
"well!"
"Then we agreed in advance not to run around when we leave the house..."
As I walked along the road, listening to sporadic conversations in my ears, I realized that today was the Chinese Valentine's Day. No wonder my mother-in-law caught up with me when I went out in the morning and told me, "Come back early today and take Jiajia out for a walk in the evening."
"
Thinking of A Niang's words, I trembled all over. How could this person keep his word? Didn't he say that he would not force me to be with Wang Jiajia? Why did he still find a chance for me to go out with her?
Wang Jiajia, okay, you must have begged my mother-in-law. Huh? There are so many people out tonight, maybe we can find you a good husband? Under the dim light, the scars on Wang Jiajia’s face will not be too conspicuous.
, maybe that man fell in love with him.
With a little hope, I finally looked forward to getting dark. There were stars in the sky and the streets were brightly lit. The lanterns of various colors were dazzling.
Wang Jiajia also dressed up carefully tonight. The night was hazy, and her pink face was full of spring, which made her even more charming. Even the left side of her face with her hair covered revealed a hint of mystery. The single men who had passed by frequently looked back, maybe they were attracted to her.
She?
I quickly stepped aside and kept some distance from her. I silently prayed in my heart that Boss Yue would be merciful and throw out a red thread so that someone could take her in.
"Brother Jianghu, look, those river lanterns are so beautiful! How about we choose one and write down our wishes?" Wang Jiajia saw me walking away and put her arm around me.
I was so frightened that I quickly took out a bunch of copper coins and stuffed them into her hand: "Here, take it, go pick it up quickly."
"Yeah." Wang Jiajia ran over excitedly.
I breathed a sigh of relief. This Wang Jiajia knew that I didn't like her, so why did she still act so intimate? Most of the men and women who came out today were in pairs, so don't let anyone misunderstand her.
I straightened my clothes and looked around, and saw a familiar figure walking over.
Lady Mu!
She was holding a rabbit-shaped lantern in her hand, and she was also wearing a dreamy white gauze skirt. It was like the spring breeze blowing, making people's soul float up.
The lights around her flickered, and her beautiful face was the most dazzling star, attracting the attention of passers-by. But she, as if she had lost her soul, just walked forward slowly, as if all the noise around her was incompatible with it.
Nothing to do.
"My boss." When Mrs. Mu arrived in front of me, I didn't get out of the way like the others, but called her softly.
"Oh, Li Jianghu?" She stopped suddenly and glanced left and right, like a sleepwalker who was suddenly woken up.
I smiled and said, "My boss also came out to enjoy the lanterns?"
"Yes." Madam Mu turned her head and glanced at the lanterns on the street, but tears flashed across her bright eyes: "It's been three years. We got married on the Chinese Valentine's Day three years ago. I thought we could spend every Chinese Valentine's Day together in the future.
,pity……"
She lowered her head and smiled, and a tear fell down. She quickly wiped it away with the back of her hand and raised her head again, as if this could stop the tears from spilling out.
"Some people are very important, but since they are no longer here, you still have to let them go." I thought for a long time and carefully comforted them.
Madam Mu smiled lightly: "It is better to forget each other in the world..."
I have heard this sentence, it seems to be said by Zhuangzi, it seems to teach people to learn to give up attachment and start a new life... It seems to mean this, I don't know if it is right.
I was thinking in my heart, looking forward to what Mrs. Mu would say next, but she stopped talking, staring into the distance, and her whole body seemed to be frozen again.
I followed her gaze and saw that Li Huichun was walking towards her twenty steps away. He was holding a little girl about half a year old in his arms. A young woman followed beside him, holding a gentle hand.
She was holding his arm, and her other hand was holding a lantern like Madam Mu's. The three of them were having a good time, and they were obviously Li Huichun and his wife and daughter.
Finally, Li Huichun also noticed Madam Mu. His smile froze on his face, and even the woman beside him seemed nervous.
I thought they would come over to say hello, but the woman said something to Li Huichun. Li Huichun just nodded and smiled at us, holding his daughter in one hand and his wife's shoulder in the other.
Went aside.
"Master, are you okay?" I asked carefully. I thought there should be a story between them, and if I'm lucky, I might be able to hear it tonight.
"It's okay." Madam Mu sighed and smiled slightly, as if the workers on the dock felt relieved after unloading the goods.
"Why is my boss alone?" I asked. As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I felt regretful and wanted to slap myself in the face. What I actually wanted to say was: How about we go together...
"I was originally accompanied by Long Yuhan, but he suddenly said he saw an acquaintance and chased him out. I waited for a long time and didn't see him come back, so I just wandered around by myself." Madam Mu raised the rabbit in her hand.
Lantern: "I bought this at Liao's Wenzhai. Isn't it beautiful?"
"Yeah." I responded.
"When I was buying lights just now, I met Li Huichun and his family. Their family is quite happy."
I looked towards the place where they disappeared, hesitated for a long time, and only replied: "Yes."
Mrs. Mu continued: "I think I should forget my former husband and start a new life. I think I can be as happy as them. What do you think?"
"Yes. I will." I felt like I couldn't speak for a while. I held the money bag tightly in my hand and my heart beat faster.
"Are you alone too?" Madam Mu looked around and said, "You see, the people who came out tonight are all traveling in groups. Those of us who are alone will be laughed at. If you are not in a hurry to go back, you can accompany us.
Shall I go for a walk? I can tell you my story. How about that?"
During the Chinese Valentine's Day, we meet in good time and beautiful scenery! Li Jianghu, Li Jianghu, are you lucky? Oh, no, it should be lucky.
I feel like a rabbit has entered my heart, almost jumping out of my chest. Walking with her, listening to her stories... She wants to start a new life... Does she think she can do it by looking for me?
"I……"
After a moment of excitement, I suddenly felt inferior. At this moment, the most I had in my purse was fifty cents. What could I buy if I went shopping with her? What could I give her?
"Brother Jianghu, look, I bought it and wrote auspicious words. Let's go and put the river lanterns quickly." Wang Jiajia came over excitedly holding the river lanterns and naturally took my arm with one hand.
"Hey, Jiajia." I quickly pushed her away.
"Why...oh, you are...Mrs. Mu! Haha, your lantern is so beautiful! You are so beautiful too!" Wang Jiajia seemed to have just noticed Mrs. Mu on the side, staring straight at her: "What do you want?
No, let’s watch the lighting of river lanterns together, shall we?”
Madam Mu smiled faintly: "No, you can go and play."
"Oh, okay, let's go then! Brother Jianghu, what's wrong? Let's go quickly!"
Before I could think of how to answer Mrs. Mu's invitation, I was disturbed by this annoying Wang Jiajia. But she didn't realize that she had gotten into trouble at all, and she was all focused on the river lantern.
"Oh, Jiajia!" When I got rid of her hand again and turned around to look, Mrs. Mu had long disappeared.
"Let's go quickly, Brother Jianghu."
"Let go! How many times have I told you, don't flirt in public, I don't want people to misunderstand me!" An inexplicable anger suddenly rose up, and I didn't even expect it.
"I...I'm sorry. Did I interrupt your conversation with Madam Mu?" Wang Jiajia took two steps back, glanced at me timidly, and searched for Madam Mu in the crowd.
Everyone is gone, but there is still a ghost to see!
I just felt a tight breath in my chest and said, "Can you stop pestering me all the time in the future? There are differences between men and women, do you understand?"
"I……"
"I really don't have feelings for you, have you remembered?"
"Remember..." Wang Jiajia gasped, sobbed and turned around and ran away.
I feel much more comfortable in my heart. I know that what I said is a bit harsh, but this is what I say from my heart. I don’t want to lie to her, let alone let her have illusions about me. I think a man should be more honest. Since I don’t
Love should be rejected ruthlessly. This chapter has been completed!
