After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 362

"Your sister?"

This answer was beyond Lu Zhi's expectation, but he felt strangely not surprised.

I don't know if it was because of wearing a mask, or because Chen Taiwei's arrival affected his mood, even though he had already left, Shizi still felt that the atmosphere around him was tense, making his chest tight.

He pushed the mask on his face, wondering:

"Didn't your sister tell you not to go out tonight?"

"I do not know."

Yao Shouning was a little confused, and shook his head upon hearing this.

Before everyone left, Yao Wanning made it clear that she would not go out tonight and would stay at home with Liu Bingzhou.

Lu Zhi saw Yao Shouning frowned, and under the night, her smooth jade face showed a worried expression.

He felt pity and love in his heart, reached out and touched her head, and comforted her:

"It may be that your sister has other plans and is unwilling to go with everyone."

Knowing that he was comforting himself, Yao Shouning forced a smile at him, and reluctantly nodded.

"I always feel like my sister has a secret."

She was a little disappointed and whispered to Shizi:
"Since the 'River God' incident, I feel that she has hidden a lot of things in her heart." When she said this, her eyes were slightly hot, she quickly lowered her head, and sniffed:
"I want to help, but..."

She was a little confused, and murmured up to look at Shizi:
"But I don't know what to do, because..."

Under the night, the girl's eyes were clouded with tears, and that helpless and trusting face slammed into Lu Zhi's heart.

He forcibly resisted the urge to take her into his arms, and carefully reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Don't be in a hurry if you don't know what to do, let's take our time."

At this time, the prince swept away his previous pride and became gentle and patient:

"You also said that your sister's worries were caused by the 'River God'. Since she doesn't want to talk about it, let's start with the 'River God'." As he spoke, the son regained his previous vigor and confidence:

"As long as the root problem is solved, other things will naturally be solved!"

His attitude infected Yao Shouning, causing her to nod while wiping her tears, and finally complained to Shi Zi in a low voice:
"I don't even understand. My sister used to be very good to me. We sisters never had secrets, but since the 'River God' imprinted on her, I always feel that my sister is no longer the same as before, telling me everything Listen."

Lu Zhi's heart trembled, and he said quickly:
"It's your sister who is wrong! Where is the secret between the two sisters?"

His mouth is righteous and awe-inspiring:
"Look at me, I'm just straight-tempered, I'll tell you what I have to say, and I'll never hide it from you." But I thought in my heart: how can a person not have his own secret?Some things are difficult to say, and you must never tell Shouning to listen to them. Fortunately, she is innocent and innocent. I keep the secret in my heart, as long as I don't say it.

"..."

Yao Shouning was in a low mood, but he was almost amused by him. She couldn't help but stare at Lu Zhi, but her eyes were clouded with water, and the tip of her nose was red. This stare didn't have any destructive power, but made the prince think that his The thoughts are hidden seamlessly, and he is faintly proud.

"Let's go, let's go to the scholar's stall, first ask about the lotus lantern!"

The prince suddenly felt proud, he took Yao Shouning's hand and walked forward:

"Don't worry about anything else."

Yao Shouning nodded, and stepped up to follow beside him.

The two of them walked along the river bank, about a hundred feet away, and sure enough, they saw a slender bamboo pole standing ten feet away in front of them, and several lanterns of various styles were hung on the bamboo pole.

Under the light, the painted flowers, plants, beauties and so on are reflected on the paper.

The surroundings were full of people, and the laughter of children and young men and women came from time to time, dispelling the quiet chill by the river.

"We might not be able to squeeze in."

Yao Shouning looked at the scene in front of him and frowned.

The prince was eager to try, and said:

"You wait for me outside, I'll try."

While he was speaking, Yao Shouning's heart skipped a beat.

For some reason, she always felt as if there was something attracting her in the river bank, calling her past wordlessly.

She turned her head and looked into the river.

At this time, the river surface is full of folded lotus lanterns.

In fact, since she and Shizi approached the river, they could see the lights flowing down the river, but the paper may not be able to float far after being soaked in water, and it is very likely that it will sink into the water halfway, so there are not many people seen downstream .

But the closer you get to the place where the stall is set up, the more densely packed the river lanterns become. From a distance, it looks like a Milky Way dotted with stars all over the sky.

She seemed to have seen this kind of scene somewhere before, and it resonated with the memories in her mind.

She always felt that there was an answer that seemed to be ready to come out, but the truth seemed to be imprisoned, and she was short of an opportunity to break through the barrier.

Yao Shouning turned around and wanted to walk towards the river, but Shizi was still looking at the crowd in the distance:
"I'll ask him about the lanterns and how many years this stall has been open—"

Before he finished speaking, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Yao Shouning had turned around and walked towards the river.

Lu Zhi subconsciously reached out and grabbed Yao Shouning's arm:
"Shou Ning, what's wrong with you?"

His heart tightened, and a nervous look appeared on his face.

The prince was worried that Yao Shouning had fallen for Chen Taiwei's demonic spell!

He was once possessed by Chen Taiwei with the technique of descending from the gods. He was afraid that after Yao Shouning's identity was revealed tonight, Chen Taiwei would attack her.

This person claims to keep his promises, but none of the things he does is related to "goodness". Such a person has bloody hands, and Lu Zhi has no trust in him.

Yao Shouning turned his head.

Her expression was stunned, and her big eyes seemed to be lost. The lights from the river shone into her eyes, as if there were some mottled brilliance embedded in her eyes.

Lu Zhi's heart sank, a sense of grief and indignation welled up in his heart, he clenched his teeth:

"I'm going to kill—"

"Sir."

Before Lu Zhi finished his sentence, Yao Shouning blinked and gradually regained his senses.

She seemed to have figured something out, and held Lu Zhi's wrist with both hands at the same time, suppressing her excitement:

"Look at the situation at this time, does it look like, does it look like..." She figured out some key points, and was so excited that she stuttered:

"My house, the night the 'River God' appeared, when the flood came!"

She was afraid that she might not speak clearly, so she freed up a hand to compare.

Lu Zhi had already guessed what she meant when she opened her mouth. A strange feeling arose in his heart, stimulating his whole body and making his back tremble slightly.

"You mean, the night we found the lamp?"

"Yes!" Seeing that he understood what he meant, Yao Shouning nodded excitedly.

"This, how is this possible..." Although Lu Zhi said so, he still turned his head and glanced in the direction of the river very sincerely.

The river in the distance meanders down, and in the darkness, it seems that there is no end in sight.

The surface of the river is full of lotus lanterns, which flow down the water, and some of them gradually sink into the water after traveling not far away.

The wick full of oil in the lamp did not go out immediately, and the fire light fell into the water, reflecting each other with the lights on the river...

The scene in front of him overlapped with the illusion of the sudden flood in Yao's house before his battle with the "River God" that night last year, and finally formed the same scene.

"how can that be!"

Lu Zhi was amazed again this time.

The two have already found out the identity of the "River God". He is the founding ancestor of Daqing 700 years ago. The lotus lamp drifting down.

Some clues were peeped from the lamp, and the two of them were sure that these scenes were most likely to be the scenes that impressed the "River God" deeply, and they must be closely related to this "evil god".

It is precisely because of this impression that Lu Zhi and Yao Shouning felt that those river lanterns were put on by someone 700 years ago at first—but Yao Shouning broke the original fixed impression of the two at this time, and seemed to point out that the two people on that day The river lantern that people see in the illusion is not the scene 700 years ago, it is very likely that it is the reappearance of the scene when the lantern was put on tonight.

This idea is both crazy and bold. In the illusion a few months ago, the two actually saw the reappearance of today's scene.

Out of trust in Yao Shouning, Lu Zhi quickly accepted this point of view.

"I want to go and see."

Yao Shouning frowned, always feeling that something in the direction of the river was attracting her and calling her.

"I'll go with you." Shizi didn't object, but he was afraid that she would be in danger, so he followed her step by step.

The two left the crowded crowd beside the lantern stand and came to the river.

There are also many people by the river beach.The closer you get to the water, the cooler the air seems to be.

The ground is full of soft rotten mud, with messy footprints stepped on by people coming and going. Many adults and children found pebbles and squatted on it, and put the lanterns in their hands into the water.

Seeing the lamp walking along the water, everyone had a pious and hopeful smile on their faces.

There are many lotus lanterns by the river, and some of them have just been put into the water, and the paper has already scattered.

Yao Shouning glanced left and right, and then decided that there was nothing he needed here.

She hesitated for a moment, and stepped into the water with her skirt lifted.

'Whoa! '

The sound of water being stepped on, ripples swayed away.

The soft shoes immediately poured into the cold river water, quickly surrounding Yao Shouning's feet.

The cold feeling went up the soles of his feet, and Yao Shouning clenched his fists from the cold.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhi hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't make a sound, but chose to follow her silently.

"What's going on..." The people who put up the lanterns by the river were a little dissatisfied when they saw this scene, and they were afraid that the two people's arrival would trample the floating lanterns on the river.

But as soon as the words came out, Lu Zhi turned his head.

Shizi was tall, with a pig's head mask on his face, and his eyes were dark, which made the speaker subconsciously turn his head away and dare not look at him again.

Yao Shouning heard someone complaining, and realized that her behavior was wrong. She turned around and apologized, and quickly and carefully avoided the lanterns under her feet.

The two walked into the river one after another. At first, the water just reached their ankles, but as they walked further in, the water became deeper and deeper, and soon reached their calves.

'Wow-wow-wow-'

The originally calm river tonight seemed to be awakened by the arrival of the two, and gradually waves began to appear.

The cold wind was blowing, the two turned their heads and saw that they were several feet away from the shore.

Lu Zhi was a little worried, and called out:
"Shou Ning-"

"Coming."

Yao Shouning turned his head and smiled at him, then suddenly moved forward again.

She said this nonsensically, but Shi Zi had a tacit understanding with her, and his eyes lit up when he heard the words:
"You mean, where the water is?"

"Yes." Yao Shouning nodded, feeling very happy.

"In the illusion that day, when we got the letter, where did the water go, do you remember?" Yao Shouning leaned against him and asked him in a low voice.

After getting away from the crowd, all the chaos and hustle and bustle seem to be far away.

There is only endless silence on the surface of the river, and besides each other, the only thing accompanying the two is the lotus lanterns that fill the river.

The feeling of the connection between the two is really wonderful, and Shizi also feels really happy:

"of course I remember."

Thinking of the scene at that time, Shi Zi's cheeks felt slightly hot, and he also felt a little embarrassed.

He tore off the mask that blocked his face, and looked at Yao Shouning:
"The water was up to our knees that day."

A few months later, he had mixed feelings about Yao Shouning at the time. He was guarded, curious, and at the same time possessed the arrogance of a young man. How could he know that he would have such a relationship with Yao Shouning later on.

But Lu Zhi was glad that he made the right choice that day, even though he was haunted by a demon because of the Yao family, he still had a fetter with Yao Shouning.

"Yes—" Yao Shouning nodded with soft eyes.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in the distance:

"Hey--"

"Come back, come back!"

"You two don't go to the middle of the river, it's dangerous."

Many people on the shore had already seen the actions of the two of them, and they might have mistaken them for mandarin ducks who wanted to die for love, and they began to persuade them loudly on the shore.

Some people were discussing about going into the water to save them, which made Yao Shouning feel both funny and warm.

"Don't worry everyone, we'll be back soon!"

She put her hands half-closed to her mouth, and called out to the river bank.

After finishing speaking, he took Shizi's hand and said:
"Let's hurry up."

After the two had a goal, they strode forward to the water. Shi Zi was convinced of her guess, and the river water reached his calf and reached his knee.

Relying on his inner feeling, Yao Shouning stood still when the water level was just below his knees.

But there are also many lotus lanterns in the river, and many of them still come from the upper reaches. At this time, the current is already turbulent, and the lanterns flow by very fast, and seven or eight lanterns pass by in an instant.

With so many lights, which one should we salvage?

"Let's pick it up casually, and if it's not right, we'll put it back." Among so many lights, Lu Zhi couldn't guess which one they needed, so he simply prepared to salvage randomly until he found it.

Yao Shouning smiled beautifully, and looked at him thoughtfully:
"My son will grab one first."

He nodded and bent down.

A head of jet-black long hair slid down his shoulders and arms, and the ends of the hair fell into the water. He reached out and fished one of the lotus lanterns that touched his knee into the water.

The lamp was folded well, and the paper hadn't melted into the water yet. There was some lamp oil in the center groove of the lotus lamp, and the lamp grass inside was shining faintly.

Lu Zhi opened the letter paper.

Today, he is completely different from that day. When he opened the letter, he subconsciously bent down to share it with Yao Shouning.

Under the faint yellow light, the lotus lantern was taken apart.

Different from the blurred handwriting in the illusion, I saw that the letter was written in extremely beautiful small characters: Since the last parting in the dream, you have not appeared for a long time, and now I want to tell you that I am three months pregnant , I hope you will return.

"..." Lu Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Yao Shouning.

"I didn't expect that I was so lucky. I just grabbed it and caught it—"

In the dreamland that day, the letter paper on the lantern he caught also revealed the words "three months pregnant". Now, comparing it with the letter in front of him, how could Lu Zhi not know that he had caught the key letter? ?
What Yao Shouning said was indeed true. Those things that happened in the illusion a few months ago, unexpectedly happened today.

This is really wonderful!

He was still a little surprised, but the moment he turned his head and saw Yao Shouning, the smile on his face disappeared completely.

At this time, Yao Shouning's face was pale, trembling all over, and he seemed to be unable to stand still, and his hands were firmly on his arms.
