Chapter 14 Xiaowu, close your eyes
As if noticing that something was wrong with Ye Chutang, Xiao Wu looked up in confusion and gently tugged at her hand.
Ye Chutang quickly came back to his senses and looked around calmly.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
She picked up Xiaowu and said, "Xiaowu, do you like that lantern very much? Then I'd like to buy it for you first, okay?"
Xiao Wu opened his eyes wide in surprise, clapped his hands happily, and kissed Ye Chutang on the cheek.
She originally thought that her elder sister would buy it for her only after she went back and asked her third and fourth brothers to come over and play together!
Ye Chutang held her little butt, folded his arms, hugged her tighter, turned around and walked towards the busy street.
They soon came to a stall selling lanterns.
Ye Chutang raised his chin and asked, "Choose which one you like."
Today is the Spring Lantern Festival. There are many people selling lanterns on the street. They are of various kinds and very beautiful.
Xiaowu blinked, but finally pointed to the stall next to him.
Ye Chutang looked in the direction of her finger and his brows twitched slightly.
——It was a little rabbit lantern, very delicate, but more importantly, this lantern was exactly the same as the one she had dreamed of before!
In the dream that day, Xiaowu was running ahead holding this lantern, and then...
Ye Chutang had just observed that there were several stalls around, but this was the only one with this design.
But Xiaowu chose it the first time!
This also means that the things that happened later in her dream will happen soon!
Ye Chutang asked softly: "Are you sure you want that?"
Xiaowu nodded happily, took out his small purse and pulled out a piece of silver.
——Buy it with my money! For my sister!
Ye Chutang did not stop him and handed the piece of silver to the boss.
"That's it."
The boss was very happy: "Little girl, you have a good eye! This is the most beautiful lantern! I guarantee it! There is only one of its kind in the entire Spring Lantern Festival!"
Ye Chutang took the lantern and gave it to Xiaowu.
The little kid's chubby face suddenly broke into a bright smile, and he raised the lantern with his little arms to show it to Ye Chutang.
——Do you like it, sister?
Ye Chutang rubbed her forehead.
"I like it. I like everything Xiaowu gives me."
A few children ran over playing.
Xiao Wu saw it and also twisted her little butt. Ye Chutang put her down and held her left hand.
"There are so many people here, Xiaowu, please don't run around."
Ye Chutang said as he walked slowly forward with Xiaowu.
Xiaowu was holding a lantern, and the bustling streets dazzled her.
After a long while, she suddenly remembered something and looked back at Ye Chutang curiously.
——Where are the third and fourth brothers? Didn’t you say you wanted to invite them over to join you?
Ye Chutang said: "It's still early, we can go back slowly, it won't be too late."
Xiaowu finally felt relieved, but his attention was soon attracted by the surrounding scenery. The bright lights were reflected in his big black grape-like eyes.
Little did she know that Ye Chutang had just changed his mind: trouble was ahead, the fewer people the better.
If Ayan and Afeng were there too, she would inevitably be distracted and might not be able to take care of everyone's safety wholeheartedly, but now only Xiaowu is with her, so if any situation arises, she is still confident enough to resolve it.
As Ye Chutang walked, he was thinking about how to deal with the situation next.
After she was reborn as Ye Chutang, she found that she occasionally had dreams about the future.
She didn't take it seriously at first, but later she found that everything in her dream was actually verified one by one.
From then on, she knew that in addition to the secret of rebirth, she also had a secret that could predict the future.
She didn’t have many dreams, but they were all related to her life and death.
Therefore, every time he had a dream, Ye Chutang did not dare to slack off and dealt with it carefully.
She hadn't had such a dream for a long time since she moved to Jiangling three years ago. She only had half of it a few days ago, but she didn't expect it to come true so soon!
There were only a few blurry images in the dream. Ye Chutang kept recalling them, trying to make the dream clearer.
There were fewer and fewer people around, and suddenly, Xiaowu saw someone dropped something on the bluestone road in front of him.
She let go of Ye Chutang's hand and ran over with her short legs.
Ye Chutang raised his hand and gently touched the wooden hairpin on his head, and gently reminded: "Run slower."
Xiaowu smiled and looked back, but suddenly opened his eyes wide the next second!
Almost at the same time!
That chilling coldness surged from behind again!
Ye Chutang paused and stood still in the middle of the road, seemingly unintentionally protecting Xiaowu completely within his range.
Then, she slowly turned around and looked back.
"You've been waiting for a long time, don't you come out to see me?"
As soon as the words fell, several people walked out silently from both sides of the narrow street, completely blocking the road.
Ye Chutang quickly sized up the other person.
There were three men in total, all with their faces masked, strong and sturdy, looking ferocious.
"That's quite perceptive! Tell me, do you want to go with us, or do we do it?"
The man in the middle threatened.
The voices were unfamiliar. Ye Chutang was sure that she had never seen them before, but it was obvious that they were coming for her.
Ye Chutang smiled slightly: "I don't really want to choose either of these two options. Is there no third option?"
The man in the middle seemed to have heard something funny and taunted: "You don't know what's good for you! Since you don't want to drink our toast, don't blame us for being rude!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and three people rushed towards her at the same time!
This is a very narrow path with high walls on both sides. The only passage is completely blocked by those three people, leaving no escape!
Ye Chutang said calmly: "Xiao Wu, close your eyes."
Xiaowu immediately dropped the lantern in his hand, covered his eyes obediently, and turned his back.
…
It was rare for Chen Yanchuan to go out today.
Lian Zhou followed behind him, still a little worried: "Master, you haven't fully recovered yet, and the night wind is cold, why don't you go back early?"
Chen Yanchuan said nonchalantly: "Your master's body is not made of paper, it's good to come out and relax. I heard that today is the Spring Lantern Festival in Jiangling, it's really lively."
When Lian Zhou heard this, he thought of his master's quiet days in the past and felt sad. He swallowed the rest of his words and followed obediently.
There were people coming and going on the street, but Shen Yanchuan, walking in the middle, was particularly eye-catching.
Some people seem to be born to be admired by others. Even if they do nothing, they can easily attract everyone's attention.
Many women looked over here with red faces.
When did Jiangling have such a handsome and elegant young man?
Shen Yanchuan seemed unaware of this.
He stopped in front of a stall and raised his slender jade-like fingers slightly.
"I want that lantern."
Looking at the hollow lantern, Lian Zhou was very shocked: "Master, when did you like this kind of--"
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Don't children like this thing the most?"
