Chapter 141 The story of a man with a baby looking for his wife (21)
Although he was resting in the town, Chu Zhizhi still felt sore in his back and legs, and the culprit was the young master who was considered by the world to be cold-tempered.
Now that Chu Zhizhi saw that Pei Yuzhou had a temper in his heart, this man was so jealous that he wanted to torment her, but it only started within an hour. Chu Zhizhi felt that sooner or later she would be beaten by him. Squeeze dry.
So she started to get sulky with him and ignored him all day.
As night fell that day, Pei Yuzhou couldn't help but blocked Chu Zhizhi in the corner, "Zhizhi, when we get back, we will get married."
Chu Zhizhi pursed her lips and said, "Who wants to marry you?"
Her voice is as delicate and soft as she is. Even when she is angry, she deliberately doesn't want to talk to anyone, but she just shows her non-threatening paws like a little kitten. Even if she loses her temper, it is It's just a heart-warming act of coquettishness.
Chu Zhizhi snorted, "Pei Yuzhou, there are so many people who like me, but I don't have to marry you."
"Zhizhi, you are mine!"
Pei Yuzhou lost control of his emotions. In the past, he only thought that Chu Zhizhi was his wife, so he should be the one in the upper position. But as his feelings for Chu Zhizhi became deeper and deeper, the status between them began to change. Now a shift has occurred.
Chu Zhizhi said it right. She is so eye-catching, there must be many people pursuing her.
What if she wants to leave him?
"Zhizhi, didn't we agree before? You will marry me, and I will be your husband." Pei Yuzhou's eyes turned red. He pinched Chu Zhizhi's waist and said affectionately: "As long as you scream Husband, I give you my life.”
Chu Zhizhi's heart was beating wildly. At this moment, she actually had the illusion that this man really loved her, but soon, she shook her head to keep herself awake.
Pei Yuzhou still has his childhood sweetheart, and there are so many rich girls who like him, so how can he really like her?
But...but this man is so good-looking.
Chu Zhizhi looked at the man so close and her heart beat like a drum.
The two people's eyes intertwined, and they slowly got closer and closer to each other.
"I'm sorry, please give way, you are blocking the way."
The sudden sound ruined the beautiful and ambiguous atmosphere.
Chu Zhizhi hurriedly took two steps back and stepped out of Pei Yuzhou's arms.
Pei Yuzhou looked unhappy, and his eyes seemed to be hiding ice blades, but when he saw the person who appeared at the wrong time, his eyes paused slightly.
Today, Chu Xiang is wearing a white and green chest-length skirt. Her black hair is only decorated with light green velvet flowers. Although it is simple, it is full of life.
She stood on the stairs holding a small white lamp, bathed in the dim light, which turned into a beautiful bright color.
Chu Xiang said: "I don't want to disturb you, but I see that you have been standing here talking for a long time, and you seem to have a lot to say, so I can only disturb you."
Since ancient times, the corner has always been a suitable place for the male protagonist to pin down the female protagonist, pinch her waist and kill her. For many couples who are in conflict, the corner is simply a holy place for them to reconcile.
But the problem is that the space at the corner of the stairs is only so small. The two of them struggled for a long time with no result. Chu Xiang couldn't wait any longer.
Pei Yuzhou looked unnatural. He took two steps away and asked, "Is Miss Chu going to participate in the Disaster Relief Festival?"
"I'm going to go shopping outside." Chu Xiang left without stopping, and of course he didn't look at anyone.
Chu Zhizhi muttered, "Dogs look down on people."
Pei Yuzhou held Chu Zhizhi's hand and said, "Zhizhi, don't you also like the excitement? Let's go out for a walk too."
Chu Zhizhi turned her face arrogantly, "Okay, let's go for a walk outside."
Today is the Disaster Relief Festival, and white lanterns can be seen everywhere on the streets. When you look up, they look like a maze of white light spots, enveloping the people inside. It is said that too many people died in those days, and every household was holding funerals at that time, so the white lanterns today are to commemorate those who have passed away.
People walking on the street are holding a small white lamp in their hands. In addition, the men are holding red satin and the women are holding willow branches. It is said that a burning lamp has been prepared in the center of the town. A bonfire, where people will gather here when midnight comes and burn everything with flames.
Everyone said that this kind of festival had been going on for many years, but Chu Xiang felt unfamiliar with the scenes before him.
"Girl, buy a mask!"
The vendor shouted enthusiastically, which caught Chu Xiang's attention. She walked over, picked up a pure white fox mask, and asked strangely: "Why do all the masks you sell here look the same?"
The vendor replied: "This is the tradition of the Disaster Disaster Festival. It is said that everyone wears masks and works together to suppress evil spirits. If the evil spirits come back to take revenge in the future, they will not be able to recognize anyone. Girl, you can also buy a mask. Look. , everyone has a mask.”
Indeed, all the people passing by, men, women, old and young, were holding masks in their hands or already wearing them on their faces. In this case, without a mask, it would look different.
Chu Xiang bought a mask and just tried to put it on his face when he heard lively noises in the distance.
"Fight the God of Plague!"
People came in a rush and shouted. The carved human-shaped wood was painted white and was carried by a few men among the crowd. In fact, it could no longer see its original appearance, because there were many people walking along the way. His hands left a lot of damage marks on the wood carving.
Chu Xiang had heard that at midnight, the wooden sculpture representing the god of plague would be thrown into the bonfire, turning everyone's disease and pain into ashes.
When the "God of Plague" passed by, people put on masks.
Chu Xiang was pushed away by the crowd. Inadvertently, she saw a bright man in red in the crowd opposite. He was wearing a hood and mask, and his familiar figure made her eyes light up.
"Floating life!"
Chu Xiang's voice was quickly drowned in the voices of those who were shouting to beat the God of Plague, and she squeezed through the crowd bit by bit desperately.
The man in red seemed to have seen her, but he didn't seem to, because he just allowed her feet to be stepped on and pushed countless times, stumbling closer and closer.
The girl who has always been exquisite is a little messy. One of the velvet flowers on her head has fallen off. The ribbon tied into a beautiful bow on her skirt is crooked. The skirt and white embroidered shoes are stained with dust. They are really dirty. It's not in line with her identity.
However, the moment she stretched out her hand to grab him, she took off the mask on her face, and a bright smile filled her beautiful face, "I caught you!"
He lowered his head to look at her, but made no other move.
The joy on Chu Xiang's face slowly faded, and he realized something was wrong and let go of his hand.
The crowd became even more turbulent, and she was knocked to the side several steps.
The man in red hesitantly stretched out his hand, and when he was just a little bit able to grab her wrist, a stronger force pulled her deep into the crowd and disappeared without a trace.
The boy in red took off the mask on his face, and his dark eyes looked at the direction she disappeared in confusion. He bent down and picked up the green velvet flower that was about to be trampled on. He tilted his head and became even more confused. A bit confused.
After a while, out of habit, he took out three copper coins again. When they fell into his palm again, all three coins were tails.
among the crowd.
Chu Xiang was pulled into a familiar embrace by a strong arm. Familiar breaths came from all directions. She was protected in an embrace full of security. She left the noisy crowd and seemed to be abandoned by the lively crowd. , arrived in the deserted and silent shadows of the trees.
Chu Xiang raised his face and was attracted by those beautiful red eyes at first glance.
The boy with white hair and red eyes had curved eyebrows, and he held her face with his pale hands. In a world full of white candlelight, only he with red clothes and red eyes was like a flame, hot and dazzling.
He said: "Xiangxiang, I miss you."
