The three of them sneaked into Fengdu wearing ghost paper faces.

Yu Xinghe didn't know why, but it seemed that his little senior brother seemed to be in a much better mood since he said those stupid words about "Master's Wife".

Mu Ban usually had a face full of impatience towards him, but now his brows and eyes softened, and he looked extremely gentle.

Yu Xinghe originally thought he was going to be beaten and was very scared, but when he saw Mu Ban's reaction, he became even more frightened.

Shivering.

His little senior brother really had the same thoughts towards his master.

Woo.

He couldn't defeat the younger brother, nor could he save the master.

Yu Xinghe was dejected.

Mu Ban didn't feel anything was wrong. He was holding Shen Gurong's hand tenderly and walking on the Lantern Ghost Street.

Due to the spiritual barrier, Shen Gurong could not see anything except Mu Ban. In his eyes, Mu Ban was holding hands and walking in a barren ruins. Surrounded by collapsed and charred ruins, there were layers of decaying leaves under his feet.

There was a crescent moon in the sky, illuminating the surrounding area with an eerie brightness.

Shen Gurong walked for a while and then asked curiously: "Aren't you going to see the lanterns?"

Mu Ban was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Shen Gurong couldn't even see this ghost street.

"Yes." Mu Ban held his hand tightly and coaxed him softly, "We will be there soon."

Shen Gurong didn't know what lanterns to see in such ruins, but the sense of security that Mu's banishment gave him was too strong, so he had no choice but to nod and continue walking forward obediently.

The wind blew past my ears, like a ghost weeping.

Shen Gurong listened carefully, and the sound in his ears seemed to be the sound of bamboo branches, which was empty and deep.

Bamboo?

Shen Gurong's eyes lit up.

gentlemen!

He turned around following the sound, and as his eyes wandered, the road behind him, which was originally a deserted ruins, suddenly turned into a bustling and lively long street, with thousands of lanterns returning to the whole city. Every street is illuminated, all the way to the city gate.

Shen Gurong said "ah" and a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Brother!"

Shen Gurong was stunned when he heard someone calling him. He looked down and found that Shen Xiwu was holding his hand, blinking and looking at him with a sweet smile.

Shen Gurong said blankly: "Xi Wu?"

Chen Xiwu nodded his head, holding the candy man in his hand, and said worriedly: "What's wrong, brother? He suddenly became stunned."

She stood on tiptoes and handed the candy to her brother, and said with a smile: "Give brother a bite of Xiwu's candy."

Shen Gurong lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Xiwu, who was wearing a warm yellow skirt. She stayed there for a long time before slowly looking back again.

Behind him, there was still the endless charred ruins.

Mu Ban stood beside him and said in surprise: "Master?"

Shen Gurong suddenly felt confused.

He seemed to be standing on a dividing line. On the left was the ruined and scorched city, with only Mu Ban alone;

On the right is a city full of lanterns, making the world noisy.

When Mu Ban saw Shen Gurong suddenly falling into a confused state, he instinctively had a bad feeling. He grabbed Shen Gurong's hand and said, "Master..."

Shen Gurong looked at him blankly, the ice silk hanging down slowly, and the shadow of Mu Ban was reflected in his gray eyes.

Mu Ban suddenly panicked like never before, because he watched helplessly as his own shadow became lighter and fainter in Shen Gurong's eyes.

"Master!"

He held Shen Gurong's shoulders and pinched his chin to force him to look at him.

"Master, look at me, I am Mu Ban. I...I will take you to see the lanterns right now, look at me!"

Shen Gurong didn't seem to hear what he was saying at all, and his light-colored eyes finally fell into a state of loneliness.

——He can no longer see anyone else.

The moment he lost sight, Shen Gurong opened his lips slightly, as if he said something to Mu Ban.

Mu Ban looked at him in astonishment, his heart beating wildly, but he still held on to Shen Gurong and refused to let go.

Blinded by the spiritual barrier, Shen Gurong had no idea who was grabbing him. He struggled fiercely to open his hand inch by inch, and slowly took half a step back like a puppet.

He chose the lanterns he wanted to see the most.

He wants to go home.

In Shen Gurong's world, he held Shen Xiwu's hand tightly and ran with a smile on the crowded Huadeng Street.

He saw the scholar who was "complicit" with him and always painted pictures of beauties. He passed by the storyteller under the overpass who was relishing the story of half-face makeup. The entire Huilu City was full of lanterns passing him by, illuminating his gray face. Eyes.

Finally, he stopped by the river where the lanterns were placed.

On the bluestone steps, a gentleman in green clothes was sitting there, lowering his eyes slightly and stroking the bamboo stick in his hand.

When the song ended, the girl who had not left the pavilion by the river covered her blushing face and looked at him furtively.

Shen Gurong led Xiwu and walked over, wanting to scare the husband secretly, but before he could get closer on tiptoes, the husband sighed softly and said without looking back: "Gu Rong, these are all children. It’s a trick…”

Shen Gurong froze.

The gentleman tilted his head slightly, his jade-like face was extremely handsome, and he said calmly: "Are you still a child?"

Shen Gurong didn't feel embarrassed after being exposed. He led Xiwu and ran over, sat down next to the husband, rested his chin and said with a smile: "Sir, please teach me how to play bamboo sticks again."

The gentleman's handsome face froze for a moment, and he gently touched the bamboo pole in his hand. His sleeves dropped slightly, and Shen Gurong smelled a scent of sandalwood in a trance.

"gentlemen?"

The teacher said calmly: "Zhuchi cannot be learned overnight. Gu Rong will have to be more patient."

Shen Gurong pouted: "I'm already very patient."

I was very patient when I was punishing.

The gentleman said nothing.

Shen Gurong looked around at the girls who had not dispersed, then leaned forward to bite the ear of his husband, and said his true purpose: "Every time Mr. blows bamboo sticks, those girls are looking at you. I also want to Girls look at me."

The gentleman suddenly laughed.

Shen Gurong puffed up his cheeks: "What I said is true."

The gentleman still laughed.

Shen Xiwu obediently finished eating the candy on the side, and after hearing this, she helped her brother talk: "What my brother said is true. Every time he sees his eldest brother and his sister-in-law loving each other, he also wants to find a beautiful woman to get married to."

Shen Gurong's face immediately turned red and she whispered, "Xiwu, don't try to discredit your brother. I don't want to get married, I just want to see beauties."

Shen Xiwu nodded in understanding: "Then my brother will have to find many, many beauties to get married to."

Shen Gurong: "..."

Sensing Mr. Shen Gurong's gaze that asked, "Gu Rong, are you a beast?" Shen Gurong's face turned even redder.

"Alas." The gentleman sighed, raised his hand and touched Shen Gurong's head, and said helplessly, "What other music do you want to listen to?"

Shen Gurong's eyes lit up and he quickly said: "The little widow goes to the grave."

gentlemen:"……"

The gentleman almost coughed and turned his head to glare at him.

Shen Gurong couldn't stop laughing: "If you don't make trouble, sir, then Gurong will sing a song."

The gentleman has a very good temper. If someone else were here, he would definitely beat his head with a bamboo stick into a white-headed chant.

Shen Gurong smiled and propped up his chin as he watched his husband put the bamboo strips to his lips. Suddenly, there was a burst of scorching heat from behind, followed by a shrill scream.

Shen Gurong was stunned and looked back in astonishment.

The bustling Huadeng Street turned into a sea of ​​fire at some point.

Shen Gurong's pupils shrank and she instinctively turned back to look at her husband. But when she turned around, she found that the person sitting next to him was Shen Fengxue.

The gentleman has long since disappeared.

Shen Fengxue turned a deaf ear to the sea of ​​fire behind him, lowered his eyes and rubbed the bamboo strips in his hand.

Shen Gurong looked at him confused.

Shen Fengxue held the bamboo pole with nostalgia for a long time, then stood up and walked to the steps, looking down at Shen Gurong who was sitting on the bottom step.

"Shen Gurong."

Shen Gurong also stood up in a daze, and walked up the stairs in a daze, as if he wanted to stand side by side with him.

But when he was about to step onto the last step, Shen Gurong stopped him.
