This year's Lianxin Festival in the town seems to be more lively than in previous years, with more people.
Because I could hear the noisy sounds from afar before I got close.
Of course, it’s not certain that it’s because He Qing and Han Wenwen haven’t been out for a long time.
In short, during this period before the New Year, you can see crowds of people and various small stalls.
There are all kinds of radio loudspeakers selling all kinds of New Year goods, flowers, plants, and Spring Festival couplets everywhere.
He Qing and Han Wenwen each held one of Lin Zhengran's shoulders.
Wander through the festival amidst the envious gazes of passers-by.
"What beautiful two girls."
“It’s the first time I’ve seen something so beautiful.”
"Did the man in the middle save the world in his previous life?"
Many passers-by may have mistaken one of the two women for Lin Zhengran's sister.
So even though the three of them were so close and open, others might be envious, but no one thought much about it.
Little He Qing looked at the crowded crowd and said, "I haven't been here for a long time. There are so many people here."
Han Wenwen stared at the Spring Festival couplets on the stall and was unable to move. She inexplicably recalled the scene when her brother Zhengran helped her buy New Year's goods and Spring Festival couplets when she spent the first New Year in the north.
The two were not together at that time, but the time they spent in the rental house was still quite sweet when they recalled it.
"Brother Zhengran, Xiao Qingqing, let's buy some Spring Festival couplets!"
Little He Qing said: "My mother has already bought it."
Han Wenwen bent down and looked at the different-looking Spring Festival couplets: "If you've already bought some, just buy some more and put them up in the villa."
Xiao He Qing thinks it's okay.
Han Wenwen picked up a couplet with a zodiac pattern and asked the two people: "How about this?! Does it look good?!"
Xiao He Qing said it was good, but she seemed to have found something better.
Lin Zhengran felt that they were all similar.
Because the place where He Qingwenwen lives is mountainous.
Therefore, Lianxin Festival also extends from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.
They traveled from bottom to top, eating snacks and buying some small gadgets that might be useful but were probably useless.
Occasionally they would also participate in some games such as balloon hitting and ring tossing. In order to prevent the merchant from losing too much, Lin Zhengran would stop whenever he won something the two girls liked.
Han Wenwen smiled and said while holding the gift: "Brother Zhengran is great! I feel like if Brother Zhengran is serious, the boss will lie on the ground and cry for a whole day."
Little He Qing also held the gift doll and sighed: "Lin Zhengran, you are really amazing. Wenwen and I can hit whatever we want."
Half a day later, they finally arrived at the center of Lianxin Festival on the mountainside, in front of the thousand-year-old tree that symbolizes love.
Due to the tradition of Lianxin Festival, all those who come to seek marriage have to come here to worship, ask for a fortune stick and tie something for making a wish, so the top of the ancient tree is already filled with red water lilies, red strips and wishing boards in less than half a day.
Han Wenwen introduced: "Brother Zhengran, this tree is the most important part of our Lianxin Festival. It is called the Marriage Tree. You can see that many people from other towns also come here to pray for marriage. This tree is super accurate!"
Lin Zhengran looked up at the ancient tree and said, "I remember you said before, Wenwen, that this tree can help you find your marriage partner if you don't have one, and it can help you have a long-lasting marriage if you do."
Han Wenwen smiled.
But the next moment she put her finger on her mouth with a puzzled look on her face: "Have I told Brother Zhengran about this before? I forgot, but it is because of it that I will not miss Brother Zhengran, so I have great respect for this tree." Han Wenwen's face became very respectful.
Little He Qing took out three pieces of red cloth and a carbon pen from her pocket and said happily, "I brought a wish note in advance, let's write it here!"
The three of them found a place to sit down.
Han Wenwen wrote on the strip of cloth: "I hope to be with Brother Zhengran forever."
Little He Qing wrote: "I wish that Lin Zhengran and I will never be separated again."
Lin Zhengran thought about it and wrote something.
Han Wenwen was curious and wanted to see: "What did Brother Zhengran write?"
Lin Zhengran showed the little fox a look, and the little fox smiled and kissed Lin Zhengran: "I like Brother Zhengran."
Little He Qing blushed when she saw it: "Then let's hang the red strips on the tree. It is said that the higher you hang it, the more effective it is."
Lin Zhengran: "Then one of you two will ride on my back. I'll carry you on my back and tie you up there so you can go a little higher."
Han Wenwen raised her hand: "I want to!"
Little He Qing also raised her hand: "I want to, too."
Lin Zhengran said lovingly, “Then carry them all on your back and tie your strips of cloth on them.”
The two women nodded.
So Lin Zhengran carried them both on his back one by one and tied the wishing stick as high as possible.
After tying them, the three of them stared at the three wishing strips for a while before turning around and leaving to continue strolling around the Lianxin Festival.
But no one knew that the three of them turned and left.
The time around me suddenly stopped and the space became half white.
The crowded crowds stopped, the crying children, the laughing couples, everything on the street was frozen here.
Lin Zhengran was the only person in the world who could look back at the ancient tree.
Of course he understood that this tree was probably just a sacred tree in people's imagination, and it might not have any effect in promoting marriage.
But Lin Zhengran also knew that the reason why Wenwen met him was indeed because of the subtle influence of this ancient tree.
It is said that when He Qing drew the divination sticks, she got her own surname.
So Lin Zhengran still planned to be childish.
He flew into the air in the minute when time stopped.
Remove the cloth strips that had just been tied, then fly to the highest point of the ancient tree and tie the three cloth strips on it again.
Now that Lin Zhengran has reached level 99, the time he can stop has been doubled.
"I hope He Qing, Wen Wen, Li Li, Jing Shi, Qian Qian, and Meng Meng can live happily every day."
After tying it off, he returned to the ground.
He returned to the middle of the two women, let them hold his arms, and time started to flow again.
The space was restored, and the three of them continued to walk forward, talking and laughing, and the festival was still lively.
Everything seemed as if nothing had happened.
The ancient tree with many wish strips tied to it was swaying slowly in the breeze, as if it really had a unique vitality.
The two weeks in the south passed much faster than I expected.
Eating, drinking and having fun, time passed in the blink of an eye.
Two nights before the Lunar New Year, Xiao Heqing sat on the bed in the guest bedroom and asked Lin Zhengran: "Lin Zhengran, should we go back to the south tomorrow? How exactly are we going to get back?"
Han Wenwen was also curious: "Yes, the tickets are all sold out now. How can we go back such a long way?"
Lin Zhengran leaned against the head of the bed and smiled: "I've already told you that I have a way. You two should pack your things tonight and have a good sleep. I will take you home early tomorrow morning."
Xiao He Qing and Han Wenwen looked at each other.
nod.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and it was Aunt He's voice: "Zhengran? Do you have time? Auntie has something to discuss with you." (End of this chapter)
