Chapter 16 There are flowers that can be folded and must be folded
A crowd rushed by, and Su Changnian saw that he was about to be squeezed and separated from everyone, so he subconsciously stretched out his hand and pulled forward. The flow of people finally subsided, and I saw Jiang Chaoyang standing there dumbfounded by his hand. She reacted at this time, blushing and said to Su Changnian: "Master Su, what are you doing here." ”
And Su Changnian also reacted at this time, he hurriedly let go of his hand and said, "I'm sorry, princess, I'm just in a hurry, I don't want to offend, I'll use my spiritual power to probe Brother Jiang's location." ”
As he spoke, Su Changnian sealed his hands and prepared to find Jiang Xuyang and them.
But Jiang Chaoyang stopped him and said, "Su Gongzi, slow down, let's not rush to fight them first." ”
Su Changnian asked rhetorically, "What does this mean, princess?" ”
Jiang Chaoyang explained: "I see that you are quite interested in this lantern festival, if you act with them, it is somewhat inconvenient, it is better to only play with you and me, and it is not too late to meet again." ”
Su Changnian was still not at ease, and said, "What if Brother Jiang is in danger?" ”
Jiang Chaoyang replied: "You can rest assured, follow Xuyang and their guards, and their strength is not weak, enough to protect their safety." ”
Su Changnian saw that Jiang Chaoyang refused to give up, so he had to compromise and said, "Then it will be according to what the princess said." ”
Jiang Chaoyang saw that he agreed, and his heart suddenly blossomed, but on the surface, he was still calm, thought about it, and said: "Su Gongzi, don't call me princess here, there are a lot of people here, in case it is not good to attract attention, Su Gongzi can call me Chaoyang." ”
Su Changnian was a little distracted after hearing this, and then said: "It's a little inappropriate to call your name directly, so it's better to call you Miss Chaoyang." ”
Jiang Chaoyang was a little disappointed when she heard the first half of the sentence, but after she heard the second half of the sentence, her heart suddenly became happy again. said: "It's okay, then I'll accompany Su Gongzi to visit the Lantern Festival today, I don't know what Su Gongzi wants to see first?" ”
"Then go over there first." With that, he walked to the place where the lion dance was performing, and Jiang Chaoyang followed silently.
In this way, the two kept playing at the lantern festival, Su Changnian ran around to see, like a child who found a new toy, and Jiang Chaoyang followed silently, and from time to time the two talked a few words, full of laughter.
Su Changnian walked to a stall selling masks and picked up a mask and put it on his face to compare, then picked up another mask and compared it on Jiang Chaoyang's face, and then tried several more but was still not satisfied.
At this time, the boss said: "This son, I think the mask you took just now is good, as for this young lady, ......" As he spoke, the boss picked up a mask on the shelf, handed it to Su Changnian, and asked, "What do you think of this?" ”
Su Changnian picked up the mask given by the boss and compared it to Jiang Chaoyang and said, "It's really good." He picked up another mask and put it on his face, and asked Jiang Chaoyang, "How is it?" ”
Jiang Chaoyang replied: "It's really good, but Su Gongzi, you are ......."
Before she could finish speaking, Su Changnian had already paid the money to the boss. Su Changnian said: "Here, this is for you." You've been with me for so long, and this is my thank you gift, although it's not precious. ”
After hearing this, Jiang Chaoyang asked, "Where is Su Gongzi, I volunteered to accompany you." I accepted the gift. With that, she took the mask and put it on.
Su Changnian said: "It's really good-looking, okay, let's keep walking." With that, he took a step, ready to walk to the next place, and Jiang Chaoyang was about to follow, at this moment, Jiang Chaoyang felt a throbbing pain in his calf, and then couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Ahh
"What's wrong?"
"It's fine, just a leg cramp."
Su Changnian hurriedly asked after hearing Jiang Chaoyang's exclamation, but Jiang Chaoyang asked Su Changnian not to worry.
Even if Su Changnian was not sensible, he knew that this time it was his own problem, so he hurriedly said.
"I was too negligent to take you into account, and I helped you to rest."
"It's okay, Master Su doesn't have to blame himself, he can only blame me for neglecting my cultivation at ordinary times, and my body can't keep up at this time."
Su Changnian heard that Jiang Chaoyang told him not to blame himself, but he was even more upset in his heart, so he helped her to a quiet place to rest.
The two sat here quietly, Jiang Chaoyang kneaded her calves with her hands to relieve the pain, she looked at Su Changnian and asked, "Why is Su Gongzi so interested in the Lantern Festival?" ”
Su Changnian replied: "Miss Chaoyang doesn't know, I have been practicing with my master in the sect since I was six years old, and I have been cultivating on the mountain for eleven years, and I can't relax every moment. At this point he paused, and then continued.
"When I was on the mountain, I often heard the brothers and sisters in the sect say, how prosperous the world is, how interesting, I want to go down the mountain, but the master won't let me, he said that if I go out, I will be discovered, and then killed, he doesn't say who it is, he only said that when I have enough strength to protect myself, he will let me go down the mountain." Su Changnian paced as he spoke, and clenched his fists at the end.
After hearing this, Jiang Chaoyang asked, "What about your parents?" They haven't seen you for so long and don't want you? ”
Hearing her, Su Changnian's fists clenched even tighter, and even made a crisp "click" sound.
When Jiang Chaoyang saw him like this, he hurriedly said: "If you don't want to say it, then don't be embarrassed, blame me for being too talkative." ”
Su Changnian let go of his fist and said with relief: "It's okay, I'm just a little excited." Then he said.
"My parents died six years ago, and that's when my master brought me back, and Master said that my parents' death was not an accident, but someone deliberately did it, and this person is also my lifelong enemy."
"I went down not only to experience, but also to find a way to resurrect my parents, but my time is limited, so I can't afford to delay."
After listening to his words, Jiang Chaoyang's original determination was suddenly shaken again, and she said, "I'm sorry to mention your sad past." ”
Su Changnian said: "It's okay, my master also told me that if you are uncomfortable holding back something, it is also to relieve yourself from the pressure." ”
Then Jiang Chaoyang said: "Then you are here to protect me for a year or two, is it delaying your plan?" ”
Su Changnian said: "That's not going to happen, this is also a change in my experience, a year or two of time is still consumed for me, and I am entrusted with the matter of loyalty, since I have promised to repay the favor, then I must do what I say, and I will leave as soon as the time comes." ”
"What Su Gongzi said is indeed good." He knew that what he said was right, but after hearing his words, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in her heart, and wanted to persuade Su Changnian to stay, but reason made her not speak, she couldn't help but shed tears, fortunately, wearing a mask, Su Changnian couldn't see it.
After a while, she spoke: "Master Su, I'm resting, let's continue to visit." ”
Su Changnian saw that she was resting, and immediately cheered up again and said, "Okay, let's go over there next." ”
She looked in the direction that Su Changnian pointed, there were many people around, she looked carefully, and found that it was a lantern riddle, and said, "Okay, but will Su Gongzi guess the lantern riddle?" ”
Su Changnian said: "Let's take a look first." So saying, he walked there.
Jiang Chaoyang looked at Su Changnian's back, and felt a sense of loss in her heart, she was just about to follow, but she hadn't walked a few steps when she heard a vicissitudes of life coming, and said: "There are flowers that can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers to break the branches." ”
Jiang Xuyang looked around and found that an old man appeared behind her at some point, and said to her: "Little girl, don't wait until you miss some things to regret it, cherish the people in front of you." ”
Jiang Chaoyang lowered her head when she heard this, not knowing what she was thinking, but when she reacted, she found that the old man behind her had long since disappeared.
She felt a chill, but then she silently recited what the old man had said in her heart.
"There are flowers that can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers to break the branches. Do you cherish the people in front of you......"
She shook her head, cheered up, trotted to keep up with Su Changnian's pace, and walked towards the place where she guessed the lantern riddle.
