The devil is hard to raise

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.

Ye Yu, carrying the oblong gauze lantern painted with bamboo, led Chao Min to participate in the Lantern Festival.

Xiushan Town is a big town, full of people coming and going, very lively.Because it is an important commercial town, the New Year festival is lively, and the scene is as gorgeous as gold.On the street, in front of restaurants, in boats on the river, on the fence of the long bridge, wherever possible, lights are hung in a row.

It snowed for two days in a row, and it stopped yesterday.The riverside is already full of crushed snow, and ice floes are also flowing on the river. Under the reflection of the lights, the ice drifts away slowly like a lamp full of flashy phantoms.

Ye Yu wore a gown of the same color as Chaomin, tied a belt with bamboo patterns, and held a lantern in his hand. He walked to the long bridge with a leisurely expression.Chao Min followed him, always taking a step back, stepping on his footsteps, walking exactly.

"In a blink of an eye, it will be the Lantern Festival. The idiot monk said that if you can't remember the sorrow and joy of human nature, then even double cultivation will not help to reshape the body, because the cheats are only useful for people. If you forget that you are a human being, the effect of double cultivation will also be the same." But it's just a flash in the pan, and it will wither soon." When Ye Yu said this, his eyes were very peaceful.After experiencing too much wind and rain, at this point, life and death seem to be unimportant.

"I know the flaws of this thing, it would be nice if I could stay with you for one more day." Chao Min didn't care, he stretched out his hand to touch the air, then withdrew his hand, "It will snow again later."

Ye Yu looked up quickly, the sky was overcast, and the full moon had been hidden.A few urchins suddenly ran over from the other side of the bridge, laughing and carrying lanterns. The light of the lanterns in their hands was like the moon falling into the world, shining and pleasant.There are also boatmen on the river singing and lighting lamps.On several small boats, someone sat and bent over and made a wish by releasing lotus lanterns.

"Look, there is a lion dance performance over the tree of lights." A child shouted excitedly.

Ye Yu took Chao Min's hand, and quickly crossed the bridge like the urchin, and walked towards the tree of lights. "I don't know which restaurant and teahouse invited it, let's go and have a look."

The tree of lanterns is tens of feet high, and tens of thousands of lanterns are stacked and set off. The lights are brilliant enough to illuminate the moonless Lantern Festival.At the beginning of the lion dance, the leader lit more than a dozen strings of firecrackers hanging on the lamp stand. With the crackling sound, the lion dancers began to beat gongs and drums, and two colorful lions stepped on the ground. With lights all over the floor, they danced lively.

Ye Yu couldn't help laughing, he followed the crowd and clapped and coaxed, and couldn't help but walk a few more steps, when his sleeve was suddenly grabbed by someone.He turned around, only to see that it was Chao Min who was holding him.

Chao Min looked down at his hands, then raised his head nonchalantly and said, "Don't go far."

Just now he thought that Ye Yu suddenly disappeared.There are too many people, the lights are too bright, the sound is too loud, the torrent of the world seems to rush in at once, and when he looks at Min, he finds that Ye Yu is wrapped in the crowd and will be submerged and disappear at any time.

Ye Yu didn't care, his eyes were attracted by those members of the lion dance team, "It's okay, even if we get lost, we will meet again soon."

Chao Min knew that he was too nervous, just like what Ye Yu said, they had a mutual connection, even if they were separated for a while, it was impossible to find each other.As soon as he released his finger, he heard Ye Yu say: "Chaomin, look, it's snowing."

Of course Chaomin knew it was snowing, he just followed Ye Yu's words and looked up at the snow.The snowflake was still in mid-air, and when it landed, Chao Min suddenly turned around, people were coming and going, bustling, and there was no shadow of Ye Yu.

The snow fell on the body and weighed on the heart.

Chao Min pushed a few people away, and with too much strength for a moment, he pushed them a few meters away abruptly, bumped into a few more, and rolled over with a gurgle.The lamps also fell to the ground and burned, and the firecrackers were broken and messed up all over the place.He shook his sleeves and hands behind his back, and walked quickly. The crowd spontaneously made way for them like duckweed meeting a boat.

There are too many people and too many lights, and the noisy lights dazzle people's eyes.Chao Min looked at everything in front of him calmly and almost cruelly. He and Ye Yu only got lost for a short time.But his heartbeat couldn't help but quicken, a sharp pain pierced his flesh, and he writhed a few more times, feeling unspeakably anxious.This anxiety, like ants eating, densely crawled all over his body.

Chao Min frowned, and his eyes became even colder. In such a lively crowd, he was the only one who didn't have any heat on him.He clearly felt that there was no Ye Yu here.Among these people, there was no aura that moved his heart. Apart from anxiety and pain, there was no other emotion in his heart.

He and Ye Yu have been together for so many years, even in the terrible and difficult 16 years, they have never been separated.No matter where Ye Yu went, he never lost his feeling.But today, this sudden feeling has occupied all his perceptions.Chao Min even felt that this feeling was absurd, after all, it was only a short-term loss of the crowd, and they would meet again in a blink of an eye.But he started to panic, his pace quickened, and he was like a phantom moving through the crowd, which caused strange shouts from the crowd.

Ye Yu was right next to him, just raising his head and lowering his eyes, he disappeared.

Chao Min jumped onto the eaves of the restaurant, only to see lights all over the world.The flow of people was like weaving, pushing and shouting, and it was so golden that it was impossible to see where Ye Yu got lost.It was as if Ye Yu was a dream. After he finished his dream, he woke up and realized that this person did not exist in this world at all.

As the snow fell and grew heavier, Chao Min's footsteps became more and more urgent.He didn't miss any place where there were people, and in the end he didn't let go of the secluded places where there were no people.In the Snowy Locust Lantern, so many people were making noise, but the person he was looking for disappeared, not even a trace.

Chao Min suddenly saw a man in the same color robe as him. He knew that the man was not Ye Yu, but he roughly grabbed the man's collar and took a closer look, only to see a hateful and unfamiliar face.Regardless of the man's astonished expression, he pushed the man away fiercely, as if afraid of getting his hands dirty.

"Ye Yu." Chao Min turned around and shouted recklessly.

Unfortunately no one answered.

If Ye Yu was here, he wouldn't be willing to let him get angry and look for him in such a hurry, and he wouldn't be willing to let him yell and still not answer.

Chao Min looked at the strange crowd in front of him, for a quarter of an hour, he seemed to be in some unconscious state, walking in the crowd in a trance, without rubbing shoulders with people, just drifting past through the gap .It was as if he had become a lonely soul in the world, and his heartbeat gradually subsided, until finally, he was as quiet as a dead person.

He obviously has thousands of ways to find people, but he can't think of them at this moment, and he just keeps on choosing and looking here stubbornly.He clearly realized that all contact between him and Ye Yu had been severed.He even had a terrifying thought that Ye Yu no longer existed in this world, and they were separated forever.

Suddenly, Chaomin seemed to hear something. Far away, someone lit firecrackers, beat gongs and drums, and the fireworks also shot up into the sky and were brilliant in the snow.

The sound was like a broken thread, broken together, making it hard to hear.But to Chao Min, it seemed to be the most beautiful voice in the world.

That was Ye Yu's voice, he called from a distance: "Chaomin..."

Looking back towards Min, he saw Ye Yu pushing the crowd away and running towards him.He held a lantern in one hand and a small cloth bag in the other, with a small blue lotus blooming in the bag.

Ye Yu came to Chao Min, panting, "Why are you running so fast? You had already run three streets in the blink of an eye. When we left Kongkong Temple, didn't I dig soil at the gate of the temple? This soil is It is used to raise this flower. The crazy monk said that this flower can hide my breath, and said that if you can’t remember people’s feelings all the time, let us be separated for a few days. If you can’t find me, if you are in a hurry, you may At once……"

Ye Yu's words stopped suddenly, and Chao Min had already held him in his arms, with the strength that seemed to strangle him to death.

Ye Yu couldn't catch his breath, and just about to loosen up a little, he froze suddenly.The snow fell on the head, and a few flowers floated to the neck and turned into water, which was so cold that it made people feel sad.Chao Min just hugged him like this, his eyes pressed against his neck, trembling silently.

The lantern and lotus in Ye Yu's hand fell to the ground, he hugged Chao Min with both hands free, he didn't know what to say for a while, after thinking about it, he just said, "You are a human, Chao Min."

Ye Yu never thought that for so many months, he failed in trying to make Chaomin experience the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys that belong to human beings.But because today's sudden movement covered up his breath, and he cut off contact with him for a while, he broke his heart defense so easily, with fear and sorrow, even tears flowed out.

Puppets don't have tears, they don't grow up, they don't grow old, and their hair doesn't turn black.

The snow covered the lights, and the noisy crowd remained the same. The two of them hugged each other for an unknown how long as they rubbed shoulders.When they parted, Ye Yu saw that there was no trace of crying in Chao Min's eye sockets, but those black eyes were clearer.

Ye Yu smiled, "Let's light a Kongming lantern and make a wish for the Lantern Festival."

Chao Min raised his foot and crushed the little blue lotus to death under his feet, before following Ye Yu to a high place.

Ye Yu bought the Kongming lantern, jumped to the eaves of the restaurant, stepped on the blue-tiled roof, lit the turpentine in the Kongming lantern, and then let go of the lantern when it had the power to lift into the air.

Some people were already setting off Kongming lanterns in the distance, and some of them were stuck in the snow and fell back in mid-air, like a fallen golden velvet ball, which was submerged in the sea of ​​lights in an instant.

Ye Yu's lantern lifted off smoothly, and he tugged at Chao Min's hand, "Make a wish."

Chao Min turned his head to look at the man next to him, this man's face was a little whiter than the snow in the firelight, his eyes were full of joyful smiles, and it was not a waste of Junxiu Wushuang to use him on him.

Ye Yu looked at the Kongming Lantern and made a wish, and said to the people next to him: "Do you still remember when we first met you, we also made a wish with a river lantern? I made the same wish this year. Little devil, I wish you a lifetime It's safe and sound."

Chao Min put his arms around his shoulders, bowed his head and whispered in his ear, "I would like to live and die with you. What is peace, as long as you are here."

Ye Yu's ears felt hot, and he wanted to talk about the love of an old husband and wife, why can't he not get tired of talking about it?He looked up, but Chao Min just lowered his head, and they kissed together.

This Shangyuan Festival is lively every year, and it coincides with today's lights, snow, and people.
