Chapter 51 May 7
In the end, Yan Linhan still didn't say anything.
After he left Longyuan Peak, Shang Qing looked at the place where he lived, and thought about many things in his heart, and in the end thousands of words turned into embarrassment - what if we meet again next time.
However, Shang Qing did not expect that the next meeting would come so soon.
The last time Shang Qing asked Jin Fengniao to send Yan Qi's letter, there was an echo.
Yan Qi said, okay, on the evening of July [-]th, I will wait for you in Fufeng City.
As Qixi Festival was approaching, even the disciples in Chonghua Sect couldn't help getting restless.Because of folk stories and legends, there is a tradition near Fufeng City. If you want to invite someone to the lantern festival on the day of Qixi Festival, you should make a small swallow-shaped lantern, write your name on the wick inside, and give it to your sweetheart.
If the sweetheart is also interested in you, he will bring this swallow to the appointment that day.
The Chong Hua Sect is located next to Fufeng City, and the disciples of the Sect are of course no strangers to this tradition.So in the past few days, the vendors selling lantern materials and silk fabrics in Anlefang have made a lot of money, almost laughing from ear to ear.
Among them, the most popular one is Lin Jiuyuan, Ziweifeng's big disciple. On weekdays, all the seniors and sisters like to call him "Brother Jiuyuan".
Shang Qing once went to Lin Jiuyuan to discuss something, and saw that his door was covered with swallow lanterns, almost burying people inside.
Shang Qing, who didn't know much about these rumors and anecdotes before, only found out at this time that the Qixi Lantern Festival in Fufeng City still has such a tradition.
That day, Shang Qing was talking about business, while looking at those small swallow lanterns from the corner of his eye, thinking that he would go back and make one.
Although Yan Qiyuan was in the north, Shang Qing couldn't give him the Swallow Lantern before the Qixi Lantern Festival, but it didn't prevent Shang Qing from wanting to finish it and bring it there that day.
Coming out of Lin Jiuyuan, Shang Qing turned around and went to Anlefang.
Small merchants and hawkers in the workshop are always very smart. Not everyone can make swallow lanterns, so those who know this craft come out to teach others how to make lanterns when the time is good.
Some people even made swallow lamps of different shapes and materials, and sold them directly.
Although it is said that this swallow lamp has to be made by oneself to be sincere and effective, many people just hold it for fun and don't care too much, so the finished product sells well.
The person who taught people how to make lanterns was an old lady with gray hair and a kind face.
When Shang Qing entered the room, he found that all the "apprentices" in this room were young and beautiful girls except him, and he was the only young man who attracted people's attention.
Instead, the old lady looked at him with a smile and said that there are not many boys willing to learn this now.
Although Shang Qing also felt somewhat embarrassed to be watched by everyone, he didn't think it was a shameful thing, so he could learn as he wanted.
Only his hands were light and elegant when holding the sword, but they became clumsy when doing handicrafts.
I learned how to do it more than ten times, but the swallow either had a deflated belly or a crooked mouth. No matter what, I couldn't make it as delicate and beautiful as the old grandma.
In the end, the sky was getting dark, and Shang Qing finally made a qualified finished product.
Generally speaking, there is no problem, but I always feel that something is ugly, but it’s okay after looking at it for a long time, after all, being ugly is also a characteristic.
Tomorrow is the Qixi Lantern Festival, Shang Qing thought, anyway, even if the Yanzi Lantern is a bit ugly, Yan Qi will not dislike it.
When Shang Qing thought of Yan Qi, he felt that he had a lot to say to him.
See you tomorrow...
Yan Qi was from Longyuan Peak who left years ago, counting it, it has been more than seven months.Unknowingly, it was longer than the time they stayed together at Longyuan Peak.
I really want to see him.
……
On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the scenery is beautiful and the lights are bright.
There are many tourists in Fufeng City. Compared with the Lantern Festival that year ago, this Qixi Festival Lantern Festival is probably for the occasion. Among the lanterns prepared in the city, there are especially many peach blossom lanterns.
Looking at the city at a glance, it is bright red and pink, and the peach blossom lanterns are slowly entering the city.It is inevitable that everyone's face will be stained with a peach blossom color, so the atmosphere becomes lingering.
Shang Qing didn't linger among the crowd, he followed the road in his memory, where Yan Qi once walked while holding his hand, and came to the winding mountain road.
In the letter, Yan Qi made an appointment with him to meet at the wishing pool where the lanterns were originally placed.
Holding the swallow lantern in his hand, Shang Qing walked up the mountain steps, as if his heart had turned into a lively swallow, throbbing non-stop in his chest.
From a distance, Shang Qing saw two peach blossom lanterns in the Wishing Pool.
They are protected by a white spiritual breath, and they have not changed since the new year.And the back figure standing quietly by the wishing pool is also the same as before, like ice and snow, like clear frost.
Shang Qing looked at him, and when he ran over, he was thinking that Yan Qi seemed to have grown taller.
But Yan Zhifan is a lot taller, so Yan Qi hasn't seen him for half a year, and it's normal that he has grown a little.But in this way, Yan Qi is much higher than himself.
"Yan..." Shang Qing stopped, just a short distance away from the white dress.
He was about to call out that name, but with the slight movement of his clothes, the person in front of him turned around, revealing a familiar face that made Shang Qing almost stop breathing.
Shang Qing's hands trembled, and the swallow lantern he was holding almost fell from his hands.
The person in front of him stretched out his hand, his knuckles were slender like jade, very similar to Yan Qi, but his whole hand was wider and more powerful.He picked up the swallow lamp in time and held it in his palm.
"Be careful," he said.
Shang Qing felt that his whole body was stiff. He repeatedly looked at the face of the person in front of him, hoping that he had some kind of prosopagnosia, so that he mistook Yan Qi and Yan Linhan.
The two uncles and nephews originally looked alike and had similar voices.
It's normal to be wrong... No, this is definitely not a matter of wrongdoing, but the person in front of Shang Qing is really Yan Linhan!
Yan Linhan had been ill at Longyuan Peak for half a year, and had just left a few days ago, so it was impossible for Shang Qing to admit his mistake.
"Brother Han, Brother Han?" Shocked and confused, Shang Qing couldn't speak fluently.
He obviously made an appointment with Yan Qi to stay in this place, and it is impossible for Yan Qi to let him dove on purpose.Many weird thoughts popped up in Shang Qing's mind instantly, could it be that Yan Linhan...
No, no, no, it's impossible, Yan Linhan is not some domineering president in Robbery, it is impossible for him to do such a bloody thing with his character, Shang Qing immediately threw those messy things out of his head.
What else is possible?
Shang Qing's heart stopped suddenly, why didn't Yan Qi come?Even if there is something temporarily, you should send a letter to say, why there is no news now, and no one has seen it.
Could it be... something happened.
Perhaps it was because of the emotional fluctuations at this moment, Shang Qing skipped too many bad guesses in his mind, and couldn't control his emotions for a while, his eyes suddenly turned red and turned into foggy ones.
"Where's Yan Qi? Is Yan Qi..." Shang Qing's voice trembled suddenly as he spoke halfway.
Yan Linhan probably didn't expect that in just a short time of meeting, Shang Qing had already turned countless scripts in his head, from the text of "robbing dog's blood by force" to "the text of life and death".
He only saw Shang Qing's expression change from joy to surprise, and then suddenly seemed to cry.
In Yan Linhan's life, there were very few things he was afraid of, and most of them were related to Shang Qing.At this moment, when they met, they just said a word, and before they had time to explain, they made Shang Qing want to cry, and Yan Linhan also became flustered.
He didn't care too much, and the ice between his naturally cold eyes seemed to be broken.He lowered his head and approached Shang Qing, raised his hand to gently brush Shang Qing's back, like he had done countless times when he turned himself into Yan Qi.
Yan Linhan took out the sword spike that Shang Qing gave him before, held it in Shang Qing's palm, and said to him softly: "I'm sorry, don't cry, I shouldn't have lied to you. The person who wrote to you has always been me , let me explain to you slowly, okay?"
At this moment, Yan Linhan lost his usual desertedness and inaccessibility, and looked like an ordinary person who was at a loss.
When Shang Qing heard it, he looked at the sword spike he made by himself in his hand. The mist in his eyes condensed and rolled out of his eye sockets.He hadn't cried like this for a long time, because he kept suppressing his emotions, so his crying was particularly distressing.
As everyone knows, at this moment, the two people's thoughts are completely different. For the same sentence, Yan Linhan who said it meant one thing, but Shang Qing heard another meaning when he heard it.
Shang Qing cried for a while, and finally choked up and said, "I thought Yan Qi happened recently. It turned out that it happened half a year ago... oh, why lie to me in the past six months."
It was only at this moment that Yan Linhan realized that something was wrong, he couldn't laugh or cry, and felt distressed at the same time.This time he learned how to behave, and he spoke clearly, don't let this strange little guy in his arms think of other places.
"I mean, I am Yan Qi."
Shang Qing was crying sadly, so he replied directly: "Don't lie to comfort me... what did you say?!"
He suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at Yan Linhan in a daze.
Yan Linhan leaned over and touched Shang Qing's forehead, talking about those things in the past: "I was the one who accompanied Fanfan to the Chonghua Sect, I was the one who gave you the 'Hanyu', and I was the one who accompanied you to put the lantern last time. I."
After finishing speaking, Yan Linhan slightly raised his hand, and the two peach blossom lanterns in the center of the wishing pool floated out of the air and landed in his hands.
"look."
Yan Linhan parted layers of peach petals, revealing the wishing stick he had left behind in the peach blossom lantern.
Shang Qing was still a little dazed, as if he knew everything Yan Linhan said, but when combined together, his brain couldn't understand it.
But he still reached out and took out a small wishing stick from the peach blossom lantern.
With the protection of spiritual breath, the paper sign has not changed at all.
Originally, when making a wish, it would be fine to write your name on the lantern, but Shang Qing saw two names on the paper sign.
Yan Linhan.
Shang Yuchen.
It turned out that half a year ago, everything was hidden in that lantern.
Shang Qing's tears had originally stopped, but at this moment he felt a little wronged, and at the same time moved, the two emotions were intertwined, making him lower his head sullenly, bumping into Yan Linhan's shoulder, and buried his head in silence.
After a long time, he suddenly said in a muffled voice with a serious tone: "I'm angry."
Yan Linhan pushed the peach blossom lantern in his hand back into the pool, then gently embraced Shang Qing, and said, "Then I'll coax you."
"The kind that can't be coaxed well." Shang Qing snorted slightly.
"Then keep coaxing until you're happy."
Shang Qing slipped out of Yan Linhan's arms, the corners of his eyes were still slightly red, but it could be seen that the original mist had gradually dissipated, and he stopped crying.
He pursed his lips lightly, looking really angry. After a while, he said, "Then tell me first, why did you pretend to be Yan Qi? Why did you lie to me?"
Yan Linhan sighed softly, and he said: "Do you still remember that meeting in Dongchuan City? At that time, you lost your memory, and you always acted very scared. I thought at that time, if you go to Touching you, I'm afraid it will irritate you."
Shang Qing thought back for a while, at that time he thought he was an outsider, and he lost all his cultivation.In the only plot materials, it was also said that Yan Linhan was his old enemy who had a life-and-death enmity with him. Adding up these several things, Shang Qing was indeed a little involuntarily afraid of Yan Linhan at that time.
In fact, not to mention that he was in Dongchuan City at the beginning, Shang Qing saw him several times later, and he was always cautious.But with getting to know each other time after time, Shang Qing's impression of Yan Linhan has long been quite different from the original one.
Seeing that Shang Qing's expression softened slightly, Yan Linhan continued: "After you returned to Chonghuazong, I still felt uneasy, so I wanted to be by your side. But I don't have any reason to stay in Chonghuazong for a long time. In Hua Zong, it happened that at that time, Fanfan wanted to join Longyuan Peak to learn kendo, and had several quarrels with his family, but his parents were always worried. So I thought, if I change to a new identity, I will be with Fanfan. If you go to Longyuan Peak with Fan, you won't feel afraid, and I can always be by your side."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you." When Yan Linhan said this, his eyes drooped, revealing an expression he had never seen before, "I'm just afraid..."
I am afraid that you will push me away with your own hands just like back then.
Shang Qing looked at the person in front of him, recalling in his mind the things he had done for himself, whether it was Yan Qi's identity or Yan Linhan's identity.
Countless memories and pictures flashed before his eyes, either joyful or moved, Shang Qing couldn't blame him anyway.
"call out--"
In Fufeng City, a firework exploded from the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the opening program of the annual Qixi Lantern Festival began.
A spiritual energy like a breeze spread from the center of Fufeng City, reflecting a faint light.The swallow lanterns carried or held by men and women in the city seem to be given new life the moment they touch the light.
The swallow-shaped lantern made of bamboo branches and silk cloth, with a pair of bright black eyes like glass beads and fluffy wings, jumped up and down in the owner's hand.
The swallow lantern that Shang Qing had prepared before also turned into a fluffy finch in Yan Linhan's hands, just like his lantern, a bit ugly and cute.
The swallow turned into a lantern tilted its head: "Chirp?"
"Chirp!" followed by another echo.
Another swallow fluttered out of Yan Linhan's sleeve, and the two swallows stood side by side.You poke me, I touch you, and end up rubbing heads against each other, looking very happy.
Looking at the two swallows, Shang Qing couldn't help asking: "Did you also make a swallow lamp?"
Yan Linhan nodded, and said, "I've asked others about it. There has always been a tradition of bringing swallow lanterns to the Lantern Festival on July [-]th in Fufeng City. Unfortunately, it has already turned into a swallow before it can be delivered to you. .”
Shang Qing watched the two swallows chirping together, for some reason, the tips of his ears suddenly turned red.
The same mind, in fact, has never changed.
"I, I'm actually not that angry." Shang Qing is like a puffer fish that has just puffed up, but is deflated. "It's just that I can't accept it for a while, and it always feels a little weird."
"I know, it doesn't matter." Yan Linhan raised his hand, letting the two swallows fall on his shoulders, and then he held Shang Qing's hand, "I will accompany you to slowly adapt, what you have said, what you have done, what you have been to wherever... I will accompany you."
Faced with such tender and loving love, Shang Qing's heart seemed to be filled with a swallow, jumping non-stop.
"...Okay." Shang Qing raised his head and looked at Yan Linhan.
He saw that the eyebrows and eyes carved in ice and snow softened into a cold spring, overlapping the outlines of the two people who were once very similar.
From the beginning to the end, this person has been in love with me, so what is there to worry about?
"Chirp Chirp." "Jiu Chirp Chirp."
The two swallows on Yan Linhan's shoulders suddenly flapped their wings and flew towards the sky together.
Shang Qing couldn't help but chase after them, only to realize that it wasn't just the two swallows, but the swallows transformed by the lanterns in the entire Fufeng City, they all flew to the same place together as if they had been summoned.
Countless sparrows gathered together, and it looked like a rainbow bridge under the flames and lights. The swallows finally landed on the tallest tower in Fufeng City.
Fly around the beam, in pairs.
Shang Qing recalled that at the beginning of the year, Yan Linhan made a wish in a lantern, and once said, "We see each other often every year."
And that sentence happens to be taken from a sentence:
First, I wish my husband a thousand years old; second, I wish my concubine a long life;
Now at the Qixi Lantern Festival, it happened to be the scene in the poem.
So, just like the wish that was made at the beginning—they will live a thousand years and be healthy for a long time.
Under the beautiful scenery of this beautiful day, Shang Qing looked at Yan Linhan's face, and suddenly wanted to know those memories he had lost.
Those memories that may have a great relationship with Yan Linhan.
Shang Qing seemed to be bewitched by that almost perfect face, gently raised his hand, covered Yan Linhan's cheek, and said, "Come with me to do something... Come with me and get back all my memories Come."
No matter what is in those memories, it doesn't matter if it is something you want to cherish or you don't want to remember.But they are all bits and pieces that Yan Linhan once left in Shang Qing's life.
In the past, Shang Qing would feel guilty, uneasy, and afraid when thinking of that incomplete memory stained with blood, and then unconsciously want to escape.
So much so that after learning from Ji Guichen that the magic lamp that sealed the memory had fallen, he didn't set out to look for it for a long time.
However, Shang Qing will no longer be afraid to face it.
Yan Linhan held his hand back, planted a pious kiss on it, and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
