Dust desires fragrance, night twines

Like a little clay figurine... Seeing many people selling and buying bamboo lanterns by the small river, and putting bamboo lanterns into the river, Guo Youqing became interested again.

"Excuse me, old man, what are you doing?" Ji Jiangyan pointed to the person who put up the lamp by the river, and asked an old man selling bamboo lamps.

"Aren't you from other places?" Seeing the other party nodding, the old man introduced with a smile, "This is a custom in our country of Nepal. Every sixth day of the hot month, these big guys will gather here Come and set off bamboo lanterns, pray to the river god, bless peace and reunion."

Looking at the many couples of men on the river bank, Ji Jiangyan couldn't help asking, "I think most of these praying men are men. Is there any allusion?"

"This one~" the old man looked at the river and recalled, "It is said that a long time ago, there was a couple living by the river, relying on the river water to survive. But there was a handsome man on the other side of the river who fell in love with this husband. So I sat by the river and looked at that husband every day. Although the couple lived a sweet life, in fact, the two were ordered by their parents, and the relationship between them was very weak. The man looked at this husband every day Of course, he knew. Lang was interested, Jun was interested, and the two gradually developed a good impression, so they used bamboo lamps as a medium to talk to each other day after day, year after year, and this husband When his wife found out what was going on between them, she was so jealous that she went back to her natal family crying. The wife's natal family was rich and powerful, so they didn't dare to give up when their daughter was wronged. So they sent someone that night , poisoned the man to death and pushed him into the river. The husband didn’t know what happened to the man, and he still waited by the river every day, but he didn’t see the bamboo lanterns to express his affection. After waiting for a month, the husband couldn’t bear it anymore. When we got to the other side of the river, we found that the hut where the man lived was empty and there was a layer of floating soil. The husband thought that the man had cheated him and then ran away, so he went home angrily. Seeing that the husband treated her as before, the wife felt very sad. I was very happy. Two months later, on a certain night, the husband suddenly woke up from a dream in the middle of the night, as if he was having a nightmare, and muttered 'he came to me, he came to me.' and got out of bed , came to the river. The wife didn't know why, so she followed her husband out of the room, looking at the red river, the wife was frightened..."

"What happened later?" Guo Youqing asked after seeing the old man stop.

"Later~ the husband suddenly grabbed his wife's shoulders and asked her, 'Did you do something good? Did you do something good? You poisoned him to death!?' The wife has never seen a husband like this, after all It was a woman from a Taoist family, and she cried on the spot. She sobbed and said that the family did it. I didn’t want this husband to listen to his wife’s words, and instead of beating her, he looked up to the sky and laughed. Facing the river, he said the man’s name aloud, Walking step by step into the river. The wife pulled the husband and asked him what he was going to do. The husband replied, "I misunderstood him and killed him. Of course, I want to atone for my sins and go to accompany him!" Then he threw off his wife and jumped into the river. In this river. Later, heaven thought that this pair of men were infatuated people, and made them the river gods in this river to bless the common people. Since then, the love between men and men has become popular in my country of Nepal.” The old man said here Looking at Ji and Guo, he said with a smile, "Why don't you two buy a bamboo lamp?"

Guo Youqing didn't hear the old man's implication, so he happily bought a bamboo lamp.Ji Jiangyan smiled helplessly, but asked: "Then ask one more question, old man, what happened to this husband's wife?"

The old man handed the two bamboo lanterns to Guo Youqing and said: "This wife later turned into a ghost and would wander by the river every new moon. came to this river."

Ji Jiangyan nodded, "Thank you, old man." As he spoke, he was pulled by Guo Youqing and walked towards the river.

Guo Youqing held the wishing paper with great interest, not knowing what to write on it.

Ji Jiangyan only wrote one word and then put the paper into the bamboo lamp and threw it into the river.As soon as he got up, he saw a familiar figure on the opposite bank, but Ji Jiangyan couldn't remember where he saw it.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing Ji Jiangyan looking at the other side, Guo Youqing also looked at it, "I think the other side is more lively, let's go and have a look." Then he pulled Ji Jiangyan across the small bridge, Went to the other side.

"Mr. Beautiful, do you want to buy a flower?" Just after crossing the small bridge, a familiar child's voice sounded again.

Looking down at Xiao Nan beside her, Ji Jiangyan laughed, "Why did I meet you again?"

"I'm here to wait for Mr.?" Xiao Nan said seriously.

"How did you know I was back?"

"My brother said that the gentleman is not a local, he must be a tourist, and the famous night market gentleman in our country will definitely come to see it!" Xiao Nan's big eyes showed a firm gaze.

"Then, what are you waiting for me to do?" Ji Jiangyan squatted down and asked.

"Send flowers~" Xiao Nan handed a beautiful blue rose in the flower basket to Ji Jiangyan's hand, "This is a variety cultivated by my brother, there is only one rose~"

"Very beautiful~" Ji Jiangyan took it over, smelled it, "it smells good too~"

"Well, sir, I'm leaving~" Xiao Nan waved at Ji Jiangyan, her small body blended into the crowd again.

"What a cute child." Guo Youqing sighed.

"This is..." Ji Jiangyan looked at the bottom of the flower stalk in puzzlement. She didn't expect that the flower stalk was hollow, and a Gu coin was stuffed inside. Looking at the banknote in her hand, Ji Jiangyan smiled knowingly.

"Smelly Yizi, it's your honor to see you!" A discordant voice interrupted Ji Jiangyan's good mood. Ji Jiangyan was not a good person at first, but was dragged towards him by Guo Youqing.

Two tall and burly men in the crowd pushed and pushed a young and handsome man in a butterfly-like costume with no makeup on his face.Being pushed and shoved, he remained silent, but his night-like eyes were holding back imperceptible anger.

"You are not allowed to bully my brother!" A small body rushed into the crowd.

Xiao Nan?Ji Jiangyan recognized the small figure, and then looked at the man in a costume. He finally remembered where he had seen him before. It was the artist who performed Die Piao Ling in the daytime, Xiao Nan's brother.

Seeing Xiao Nan being pushed to the ground, Ji Jiangyan had no choice but to strike again.

[-]. The trip to Nanqiong was full of surprises③

"It's just an actor, why do you have to be so angry?" With a bit of a smile, Ji Jiangyan looked at the man in front of him who was dressed but didn't know what to match.

"Who are you?" The man looked Ji Jiangyan up and down.

The man's blatant eyes made Ji Jiangyan disgusted, but his expression was still a calm smile, "It's just a passer-by." As he spoke, he approached the man, and swiftly stuffed a piece of Gu coin into the man's pocket, "Some things are still your love. I wish well, don't I?"

The man was obviously very interested, he snorted coldly and threw Xiao Nan's brother to the ground, then turned and went to the place where the lights were red.

"That's it?" Guo Youqing couldn't believe it when he saw that the crowd had dispersed and the men were no longer entangled.

Ji Jiangyan smiled, lifted the man who had fallen to the ground, twirled his fingers at Guo Youqing, and said, "It's better to deal with these local snakes."

"Sure enough, you are a businessman, but didn't you make a loss-making business?" Guo Youqing was puzzled.

Ji Jiangyan smiled and said nothing, but her expression became a little unpredictable.

"Thank you, sir. You not only saved your younger brother, but also Xiaosheng this time. Xiaosheng really has nothing to repay you..." Xiaonan's brother's voice was soft and slow, as if he lacked confidence.

"Have you guys not eaten yet?" Ji Jiangyan interrupted the other party.

Seeing that the other party was noncommittal, but Xiao Nan beside him nodded obediently, Ji Jiangyan smiled and took the two of them to the food stand by the road, and ordered a few delicious meals.Seeing Xiao Nan eating happily, but her elder brother didn't take a bite, Ji Jiangyan asked, "Why don't you eat it? But it doesn't suit your taste?"

Xiao Nan's brother shook his head lightly, "No, it's just not allowed."

"Not allowed?!" Guo Youqing repeated, and after thinking about it again, he suddenly realized, "I remembered, I remember that male artists in Nepal seem to be allowed to eat only one meal a day in order to keep in shape, and there are strict rules. quantitative."

Seeing the man nodding his head, Ji Jiangyan stopped persuading him and just watched Xiao Nan gobble it up.Suddenly a browsing tram passed by, and Ji Jiangyan accidentally saw the people on the car, and immediately lowered her head.

"What's wrong?" Guo Youqing didn't notice the people on the tram because his back was facing the street.

Ji Jiangyan shook her head, but didn't intend to answer.

Xiao Nan's brother looked at the people in the car, and said in a low voice, "The person in the car is Jin Huan, the biggest underworld boss in South Qiongzhou, and he comes here every year at this time."

"Jin Huan? What is he doing here?" Guo Youqing continued to play the role of the curious baby.

Xiao Nan's elder brother shook his head slightly, "I just heard that when he was young, he separated from his lover because of family obstruction, and his lover threw himself into this river for some reason."

"Oh, he is here to commemorate his lover! He is also an infatuated person." Guo Youqing guessed.

"Love?" Ji Jiangyan repeated pointedly.

"I heard he is a beautiful male artist." Xiao Nan's brother whispered.

Ji Jiangyan narrowed her eyes, her mind was spinning, and she showed a calculating smile.

After breaking up with the Xiaonan brothers, Ji and Guo went back to the hotel.Taking out his personal electronic notebook, Ji Jiangyan quickly logged into the Ji family's information database, looking up the information about Jin Huan's lover, but there were very few information available: Tang Yao, a native of Nepal, an orphan, died in 1967 On June 6, 11, at the age of 18, he was adopted by Die Shengtuan since he was a child, and became a smash hit male artist.
