I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Zhou Chenyu and Yang Xi followed those pedestrians and slowly shuttled among the crowd.

After following for a while, Zhou Chenyu stared at the leisurely figures of those people, but there didn't seem to be any lively places around him, and there were fewer and fewer people.

She was a little doubtful and said to herself: "We must be on the right track, right?"

Yang Xi turned to look at her, "Don't worry, you're on the right track. I'm still here."

Hearing his answer, Zhou Chenyu laughed, "Yes, how could I forget such an important thing? With you here, how could we go wrong?"

Yang Xi looked at the road ahead and walked slowly, walking among the crowd. His tall figure was almost a bit taller than the crowd, "Yes. That area was set aside by the government office specifically for these old blacksmiths." It’s used by the master. Moreover, the garden shed built this year is a little higher than in previous years, so the space required is much larger than in previous years.”

"You know so much?" Zhou Chenyu looked over with a smile and teased him: "Just now, Chen Yunzhi said that you were busy with business at this time. What? On such an important day, there is no beautiful girl to ask you out to visit the garden and enjoy the lanterns. ah?"

Yang Xi lowered his eyes and looked at her, pursed his thin lips, and replied solemnly: "No."

Zhou Chenyu held his arm tightly and smiled, "That's good, otherwise we wouldn't be here today."

"This..." Yang Xi suddenly smiled after hearing her words.

As the view ahead became wider and wider, a six-meter-high flowerpot filled with fresh willow branches came into view. People coming from all directions came towards it and formed a large circle consciously.

Zhou Chenyu looked at the people in front of her and walked over there. The place where iron flowers were made should be there. She became excited and said, "Yang Xi, let's go there quickly so we can get a good place."

Seeing her happy look, Yang Xi pursed her lips and smiled, then let her go, while he stayed with her every step of the way.

Zhou Chenyu squeezed through the crowd and found a position near the front of the wicker flower shed. He occupied the spot and looked back at the crowd of people.

Her breathing hadn't calmed down yet, and she smiled happily: "Fortunately, we were smart and got off the boat early. If we had arrived late, we wouldn't have been able to occupy such a good position."

Yang Xi caught a glimpse of her hair being messed up by the wind, but didn't know it, "Why are you anxious? If you can't see it this time, then you can see it next year. These acrobatic songs and dances are held every Lantern Festival, and you can always see them of."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and brushed away the messy strand of hair from Zhou Chenyu's forehead.

Zhou Chenyu stood in front of him. When he saw his movements, a smile stopped on his face. He instantly stopped his desire to speak and looked at him with his bright eyes open. He could not help but raise his neck slightly, revealing a face as smooth as jade. cheek.

Yang Xi glanced at her lingering gaze, paused his hand, tried his best to calm down the panic in his heart, pretended that nothing happened, continued the movement of his hand, and moved the strand of hair to the temples.

Zhou Chenyu saw through it without revealing it, his clear eyes were filled with a smile, and he let him be like this.

His rough fingertips traced across her forehead, cheeks, and then to her ears. His movements were very light, like a dragonfly touching water. His eyes were clear and upright, without any unnecessary thoughts.

Yang Xi straightened her hair and retracted her hand consciously.

Zhou Chenyu took the opportunity to get involved with him, recalling what he had just said, and said: "This is the first time we have come here to see it. The meaning is extraordinary. How can we do it if we don't leave some deep memories? Isn't this trip in vain? ?”

Yang Xi looked at her smiling face, hiding the confusion just now, and chuckled, "You, you always have your own excuses."

While they were talking, several florists with red ribbons on their heads and shirtless upper bodies came out.

Zhou Chenyu's eyes fell on them, and he looked a little surprised and said, "Yang Xi, they just went shirtless like this? Doesn't it hurt?"

Yang Xi looked at the naked men and couldn't help but feel admiration. "Yes, these are all old masters. They say that molten iron burns easily when it touches clothes. If you take off your clothes, you won't be hurt. But after all, they are flammable things. If they touch the skin, you will still be burned. Hidden danger.”

"Really? That's how it is."

Zhou Chenyu leaned against Yang Xi, waiting quietly for the show to start like everyone else.

After a while, drums sounded from behind the flower shed, accompanied by instrumental music such as silk and bamboo strings, sheng and Xiao, forming a lively, joyful and magnificent vocal music.

Then the shirtless old masters walked out carrying the trough containing the iron juice and shouted passionately: "Open the furnace!"

The old master's voice and the music behind him seemed to have entered Zhou Chenyu's heart. Zhou Chenyu watched several old masters holding willow spoons, filling them with hot iron juice. They picked up the willow spoons in their left hands and the wooden sticks in their right hands. He quickly ran to the flower shed and hit Liu Shao hard with a wooden stick.

There was a loud banging sound, and the hot iron liquid rose into the sky and rushed towards the six-meter-high flower shed. After colliding with the willow branches in the shed, it exploded violently and quickly ignited the firecrackers on the top.

These flower-makers fired one stick, and another one followed, one stick after another, one person after another. In an instant, the fiery trees and silver flowers were ignited in the dark night with the sound of cannons, bringing joy and blessings to the people. .

"it is good!"

"So beautiful!"

"Good good!"

The crowd of onlookers screamed one after another, and the cheers grew louder and louder.

Zhou Chenyu looked at the bright stars blooming in the sky and could no longer control his emotions. He cheered and clapped along with everyone else.

"Awesome! So beautiful!"

"Yang Xi, did you see that we didn't miss this performance? We really came to the right place."

Yang Xi stood behind Zhou Chenyu with his hands folded. Hearing her shouts of joy, he quickly glanced at the fireworks in front of him, and then his deep eyes fell on her again.

Watching the frown and smile on her face, watching her every move, for a long while, the corners of his lips slightly raised, but his cold and stern eyes seemed to have endless lingering smiles spreading.

At this moment, all the emotions hidden in his heart came out.

Zhou Chenyu talked happily to himself, but did not hear Yang Xi's reply for a long time.

She turned her head in confusion, only to see him standing in the lonely night like an evergreen pine and cypress. She could not see the expression on his face clearly until the fireworks above his head and the fireworks behind him lit up again, and the light shone on him.

Only then did she see his gaze resting on her side, his brows stretched, his thin lips slightly raised, and his cold and distant face revealed a smile as gentle as moonlight and flowing water.

She looked at him and smiled happily.

The crowd searched for him thousands of times, and when I looked back, the man was in the dim light.

That's about it.
