The president's wife with one child and five treasures is the favorite of the group

After dark, Mu Jingchen suggested going for a walk.

The two changed into casual clothes and left the room.

Passing a long corridor, came to the lobby of the hotel.

The old woman was still standing in front of the Buddha statue with her eyes closed, muttering something.

The two looked at each other, walked lightly in tacit understanding, and left the hotel.

The ancient town at night has a special scenery. On the long street, red lanterns are lit at the door of every house. Looking from a distance, it looks like a shocking lantern show.

The two shuttled through the crowd, as if they had merged into this ancient town full of fireworks, with unprecedented joyful smiles on their faces.

After shopping the long street, Mu Jingchen brought Huangfu Liyue to a stone bridge.

Standing in the middle of the bridge, the two can see the night view of most of the ancient town.

Looking up is the sky full of stars, and looking down is the flowing water of river lanterns.

Huangfu Liyue had only seen this scene on TV.

She always felt unreal when she was really involved.

"Jingchen, how do you know about this place?"

Mu Jingchen looked into the distance, as if recalling a certain past event.

"Many years ago, I came here by chance."

"It's a really nice place to look forward to."

Facing the river lanterns floating under the bridge, she sighed: "If you bring Dabao and the others, they will definitely like it here."

Mu Jingchen put his arms around her shoulders and tightened her body into his arms.

"Now is the time for the two of us."

She joked: "If the children hear what you say, they will definitely be jealous again."

"Our children are still very reasonable. When we went out this time, they all knew that we had been out of a world of two, and they cooperated and gave us space."

After speaking, he took her hand.

"Take you to release the river lantern."

The two came to the bridge.

The hawker selling river lanterns is shouting.

Seeing them, he said with insight: "Today is the reunion festival here, and the time when releasing the river lanterns is the most effective, the two of you can see that you are outsiders, you should not let the river lanterns go, buy one and try?"

Mu Jingchen took out the money very neatly, sent it to the peddler, and said to Huangfu Liyue, "Liyue, pick one."

She looked at all kinds of river lanterns, and finally picked a lotus-shaped one.

The peddler immediately handed them pens and paper and said, "Write your wish on it and put it in the river lantern, and the river lantern will convey your wish to God."

Huangfu Liyue smiled faintly, picked up a pen, and wrote four beautiful words on the paper: I will be well and healthy forever.

Mu Jingchen rolled up the note and put it in the river lantern.

Afterwards, the two came to the river and let the river lantern go together.

The river lantern goes away with the flowing water, and finally becomes a touch of light, blending into the night.

Huangfu Liyue watched in a daze.

Although she knew in her heart that the river lantern was just a beautiful wish, but when she felt powerless, she very much hoped that this wish would come true.

The two wandered the streets of the ancient town for a long time, until the number of people on the streets gradually decreased, and they returned the same way.

The entrance of the hotel.

They were about to enter the house when a passing woman suddenly blocked their way.

The woman is about 50 to [-] years old. Judging from her clothes, she should be a resident here.

As if she was spying on the enemy, she asked in a low voice, "Are you from other places?"

Out of politeness, Huangfu Liyue nodded.

"Yes, Auntie, what's the matter?"

The woman glanced at the homestay behind her, and reminded her warmly: "This is not a good place, hurry up and live in another place!"

"why?"

Huangfu Liyue asked curiously.

Except that the old lady has a weird personality, there is nothing to criticize in the rest.

The woman took two steps forward and whispered in her ear, "This place is haunted by ghosts."

Huangfu Liyue thought she was going to tell her some gossip, but she didn't expect it to be such nonsense.

"Auntie, thank you for your reminder, but we don't believe in these things."

Seeing that she was not taking it seriously, the woman frowned.

"You young people just don't listen to persuasion, and your aunt doesn't know you well, so you can still find trouble?

Haven't you seen that it's dark here at night? The people here don't dare to pass by here at night! "

Huangfu Liyue looked at what she said was so mysterious, she lowered her head and smiled.

"Auntie, why are you here?"

The woman pointed to the yard in front and complained, "I can't help it. My house is right in front. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to pass by here!"

Although the terrified look on the woman's face was very real, Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen were unmoved.

Mu Jingchen didn't want to say too much, so he said, "Auntie, thank you for your kind reminder, we will consider moving to another place."

After speaking, he took Huangfu Liyue into the hotel.

The woman watched them enter the house and stayed where they were for a while.

When they closed the door, she suddenly felt that it was cool all around, and she was the only one left in the whole street.

She turned pale and hurried to her yard.

……

Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen entered the hotel lobby.

As the woman just said, the lights inside are dark, but it is not that there is no light at all.

Dangfu Liyue looked towards the light.Really a chill down the back.

In the center of the hall, two red candles were lit on both sides of the Buddha statue enshrined by the old lady. The Buddha statue reflected by the shaking candlelight was a bit hideous.

The old woman knelt in front of the Buddha statue, and suddenly turned her head when she heard the door opening.

She was old, and her face was thin and wrinkled. Under the dim candlelight, she looked a little frightened.

"Grandma, are you still up?"

Mu Jingchen was calm.

The old woman watched them both without blinking an eye.

After a while, she said "hmm".

Then, she knelt down in front of the Buddha statue and continued to chant something.

Mu Jingchen didn't pay too much attention to her, and walked towards the room holding Huangfu Liyue's hand.

Huangfu Liyue looked at the dim environment along the way, and suddenly spoke.

"Jingchen, let's live in another place tomorrow."

She doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but that old woman is really weird.

Mu Jingchen pushed open the door and turned on the light.

"Why, were you frightened by what the man said just now?"

"That's not true, it's just that this mother-in-law doesn't turn on the lights at night, and bows to the Buddha statue from morning to night. It's weird."

She finally understood why there were no other guests here.

Those with poor mental capacity really dare not live here.

Seeing that she was worried, Mu Jingchen smiled and said, "Then let's change places tomorrow."

"it is good."

After responding, she stretched.

"After walking for so long, I'm really sleepy. I'm going to take a shower first."

She took out a change of clothes and walked into the bathing room.

Although this place is simple and inferior to the facilities in the urban area, fortunately it is quite convenient.

After filling the tub with water, she took off her clothes and walked in.

The water temperature was just right, she leaned against the bathtub, closed her eyes and enjoyed this moment of tranquility.

suddenly……

There was a shrill cry in my ears.
