Chapter 44
Early the next morning, the group of them set off after breakfast.

Because there were still nearly three days to go on the road, and they were not in a hurry to go back, Ji Qinghan was willing to listen to Sheng Wan's words.

So when passing through Hanjiang City, which is close to the capital city, Sheng Wan heard that there was an annual Lantern Festival here, so he wanted to stay and have a look.

After a slow dinner, Sheng Hou went back upstairs to dress up before letting Ji Qinghan accompany him out for a parade.

Looking at what the men on the street were wearing, and then at what Ji Qinghan was wearing, Sheng Hou raised his forehead immediately: Did this man have several pieces of the same dress made by a tailor?Why haven't I seen him wearing other clothes!
There are night stalls on both sides of the street, and the stalls are full of beautiful things, and there are all kinds of beautiful and fun little things.

"Girl, beautiful lanterns, do you want to pick one?" An old lady on the side of the road greeted passers-by with a smile on her face.

Sheng Hou stopped in front of her stall, and saw that there were various kinds of lanterns on the stall. There were three different styles of lotus flower, flower girl, and animal, all of which were exquisitely handmade.

"Girl, what style do you like? The old woman has good quality and low price here, let your sweetheart buy one for you." The old woman smiled kindly.

"Grandma, are you going to put this lantern by the river?" Sheng Wan asked while holding a lantern in the shape of a flower girl.

"Girl, you are from other places. This lantern is going to be released on the bank of the Hanjiang River. Before it is released, people have to pray for the safety of the Hanjiang River. I heard from the older generation that there is always no wind and waves before the Hanjiang River. , no matter what you do on the river, you will never return. But one year a beautiful girl came here, and she disregarded everyone’s dissuasion to go boating on the Hanjiang River. Swallowed it, but the girl came back safely after the wave leveled off. And she told people that as long as you send blessings to Hanjiang on this day every year, you can bless people on the river safely. Later, someone used this method, and the Hanjiang River was calm. One year later, the tradition has been passed down." The old woman smiled.

Seeing Sheng Yu's absent-minded expression, the old lady smiled sheepishly, "Is it possible that the old lady is too wordy, and people like to chatter when they are old."

At this time, Ji Qinghan stretched out a hand and handed the money to the old woman.

Sheng Wan came back to his senses suddenly, and said with a smile, "When I was young, I liked my grandmother telling me stories, thank you, mother-in-law."

She left with a lantern in her hand.

"What's wrong with you?" Ji Qinghan asked when she saw that her expression was not right.

"Shh~ someone is following behind." Sheng Wan said in a low voice, the eyes on the veil were a little strange.

Hearing what she said, Ji Qinghan was stunned for a moment, with his vigilance, it was impossible not to notice what was around him!
He stared at the woman beside him without blinking. She was wearing a light red tulle tonight, and the ribbon on her head was fluttering in the wind. She felt like she was about to fly away.Ji Qinghan has always disliked the feeling of being unable to grasp it like this, and a hint of obscurity flashed in her eyes.

Tonight, the street is very lively with people coming and going, and walking a little further is the river bank where the lanterns are placed.A row of people stood on the bank of the river and lit the candles on the lanterns, put them into the river, and then put their hands together to pray.After the lantern drifted away, the group left.The person waiting behind went up immediately, and repeated the action of the previous person.

Thinking that the ancients were quite observant of public order, Sheng Wan made a remark.

"Ji Qinghan, don't you want to turn on the lamp?" Sheng Wan stood behind the crowd, talking to him a little bored.

"En." The man's indifferent voice came from reaching out his hand.

"As for people, you need to have some faith. Whether it's true or not, you can motivate yourself. You see, this kind of activity is conducive to the positive development of the people." Sheng Wan rambled casually.

Because the guy behind him is not only facial paralyzed, but also very seldom talk, if you don't talk to her, he will definitely not take the initiative to talk to you.

"What do you want?" the person behind asked faintly.

"I want a lot of things. First of all, I need to get rid of the poison first, and then buy a big courtyard with three entrances and three exits, and just accept a few beautiful men." Sheng Wan smiled and narrowed his eyes. .

The people next to her heard her words as if they were watching monsters.

"Girl, your idea is too unrealistic. In this world, girls are the only ones who marry, and there is no girl who accepts male pets. If you are unclean, don't talk about it in the future." Kindly said to Sheng Wan.

"Hehe, big sister, thank you very much. But don't worry, I have already adopted a male favorite, and my family members agree." Such words must be fried!Sheng Wan cast a playful glance at Ji Qinghan behind him.

But Ji Qinghan looked at her with the gloomy expression of eating a fly.

"Young master, please take care of your wife. You can't make fun of this kind of talk." The elder sister had already glanced at Sheng Yu with a lunatic expression, and turned to Ji Qinghan to persuade him.

Ji Qinghan looked at Sheng Hou for a while, and the expression in her eyes became slightly calmer.

He turned his head to look at the eldest sister, and said lightly, "It's okay, I don't care about my status."

"Eh?" This time, Sheng Wan was surprised!Your lord, are you really an ancient man?It's unbelievable that such words come out of your mouth~
And the elder sister's eyes have turned into crazy eyes, only to say that the world is getting worse, and today's young people can have no scruples for love, and one day they will regret it for the rest of their lives.

How long is a lifetime?If she was still in that world, she could live her life without any worries, with the love of her grandfather and brother, and be happy all her life.

But now?There is nothing, the father doesn't care about her life or death, and there is this one with no clear purpose and the one in the palace who is eyeing him, so she only has a little fox and a little maid who are trustworthy.

This kind of insecure rush is really not very good.

Before I knew it, the people in front had finished setting off the lanterns and left.

She slowly stepped forward and squatted down, then suddenly looked behind her, "Huozhezi."

Ji Qinghan immediately held out her hand and handed it to her.

Sheng Hou smiled and lit the candles inside, then gently placed the lantern on the water, and said in her heart: I wish the future will be smooth and peaceful.

"Huh~"

At this time, there was a gust of wind on the surface of the river, and it was very cool with a touch of coolness.

"Ah—" someone in the crowd yelled.

People don't know why.

"There are boats on the river!" Someone exclaimed again and again.

Sheng Wan looked up and saw that there were bright lanterns all around, as beautiful as a river of stars.In the distance is the quiet and deep cold river, as if there is no end in sight.

But at this moment, a boat appeared on the black river surface. The whole body of the boat was red, which was particularly conspicuous and...strange in the darkness!
"Why are there boats? All the boats on the river docked to rest before it was dark!"

"Yeah, besides, there is no ship with such bright colors! It must be a ghost ship!"

Someone in the crowd behind whispered and guessed.

Sheng Wan was stunned, it's really mysterious that such a phenomenon happened on such a good festival today.

The crowd became commotion at this moment, and Sheng Wan was not interested in staying to observe such things, so he wanted to turn around and leave.

Suddenly screams erupted from the crowd, and they immediately scattered to go back to their homes.

A small hand with a red sleeve stretched out and pushed Sheng Hou's waist!
She didn't pay attention, "Ah" and fell into the water!
Ji Qinghan noticed a suspicious person just now, but when he was focusing on that person, there was a scream from the front!
Seeing her fall into the water, he flew over to pull her, but it was already too late!
Sheng Wan was not too afraid of falling into the water, she could swim, but it must be very embarrassing to go ashore!

She swam in the water for a while, then reached out and grabbed the stones on the shore, and slowly leaned over to the shore.

A pair of black boots appeared in her line of sight, and she hurriedly cried out, "Ji Qinghan, why didn't you grab me just now, if I caught a cold, it would be your fault!"

Sheng Hou sat on the bank and took off the coat that was attached to her body, and then immediately took off her shoes and socks, planning to carry the ice back to her!
"Little Wanwan, in broad daylight, I'm really surprised that you are so unrestrained." Xie Mei's voice was full of lingering and speculative magnetism, which made people's hearts tremble!
Sheng Wan's movements froze!
Depend on!
She stood up slowly and looked at this man in a purple brocade suit, which was embroidered with dark brocade patterns, which was particularly gorgeous and exquisite.He wore a half-sheet silver mask on his face, and the half of his mouth exposed to the air was curved!
"Bitch!" Sheng Wan suddenly yelled, and suddenly stretched out his fist and smashed that man's face!

The figure of that person quickly dodged backwards, making her miss out!

"Tsk tsk~ You are so rude, it seems that people have been badly educated these years." The man in purple said disgustedly.

"Shut up!" Sheng Wan thought of the 'humiliation' that night, with a vicious expression on his face, a little distorted.

She rushed straight up, trying to teach this pervert a lesson with what she had learned over the past ten years!
But every move and every style of her man can easily dodge, that chic posture is like dancing at will!
Sheng Wan was seriously dueling with him, but this man was playing tricks on her!
It's so damn disgusting!

"You have the ability to fight back! What do you mean by not shooting! Look down on me!" Damn it!
Sheng Wan was getting more and more angry at being tricked by him, and the more she played the tricks, the more chaotic she became, but in the end she directly jumped on him!
"I fought with you!"

The man moved lightly, Sheng Wan couldn't stop the car!

"Plop -" and fell into the water!
Sheng Wan was not mentally prepared, and was choked up after jumping into the water.

She controlled her body and slowly floated up in the water, and coughed twice violently!

When she calmed down and wanted to swim ashore, suddenly her complexion turned pale, but cold sweat slowly broke out on her forehead!

The feet soaked in the water suddenly cramp!
pain!
But more pain is yet to come: because she is about to sink!

She jumped twice, and suddenly saw the man standing on the shore, and shouted for help, "Hey, hey! Hurry up and save me, my leg is cramping!"

"The water is so dirty, you want me to go into the water to save you? I don't know what it means!" Unexpectedly, the man snorted coldly in disgust, and turned to the net bank.

The river water had already covered Sheng Wan's mouth, she didn't speak again, and the river water was about to cover her nose!

She froze and struggled in the water with all her strength.

"You fucking slut, you will be struck by lightning... I will be the first to drag you down after becoming a water ghost——"

Before she finished speaking, the water outside poured into her mouth undeniably!

The river slowly submerged her whole body.
