As the wooden barrel rolled down the cliff, the meat also rolled out. The smell of blood filled the air and soon attracted several wolves to come over. Poor man, he died without even a complete body and was eaten by the wolves.
Not even a bone was left.
The next night, the light of the lanterns was shining, even brighter than the moonlight in the sky. There was a hustle and bustle around. Many girls were standing there buying lanterns. Some were graceful, some were not so good-looking. There were also many lanterns hanging on a high platform. Those lanterns were very delicate, and they were embroidered with vivid and beautiful women, as if the next moment, the women's winding skirts would fall apart. Even the women's faces were painted very beautifully. Some were painted with small animals, such as little rabbits with red eyes. However, these painted animals were for children to play with.
The crowd was packed tightly together, and seeing no way in, Jiuxi and Sujiu looked up. Standing on the high platform was a middle-aged man. He was dressed in a robe that seemed to be coated with a light moonlight, and his eyes were full of scholarly air. He coughed lightly, waved his hand, signaling the onlookers to be silent, and raised his voice, "Today's lanterns, you have to guess the riddles correctly before you can choose one!"
This lantern shop is famous in Yangzhou city, and it has this tradition every year. Jiuxi's lips moved. She was annoyed by these things the most. She only liked to read storybooks, and she was not willing to read the Four Books and Five Classics at all.
But Su Jiu was envious of the lanterns and said, "I just came here, and the lanterns here are so beautiful! I want to give one to Brother Gong Ci!"
This... Jiuxi pulled up the corners of his mouth helplessly and said jokingly, "If Yuebai heard you say this, he would definitely give you a beating!"
Su Jiu stuck out his tongue. Yuebai, that guy, might still be in seclusion now!
On a tree trunk not far away, Gong Ci was sitting on it. A gentle breeze blew by, and Gong Ci's hair fluttered in the wind. He fixed his eyes and listened to the middle-aged man holding a lantern depicting Chang'e flying to the moon. He said, "First, everyone, listen carefully. Draw it round, write it square. It's warm with it, and cold without it."
Someone yelled, "It's the stove!"
But most people lowered their eyes, thinking quietly. The middle-aged man shook his head and waited for a moment. Just as he was about to reveal the answer, a thin girl in the crowd spoke up, "Today."
Su Jiu thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. At this time, he saw Jiuxi speak out the answer, and patted his thigh. It was indeed fuck.
Su Jiu easily got the Chang'e Flying to the Moon lantern. She was in high spirits and didn't plan to stay there any longer. She grabbed Jiuxi's sleeve and headed for another stall. But after walking forward for a while, Su Jiu felt a little strange. Why didn't Jiuxi say a word? When she looked back, even the lantern in her other hand fell to the ground. Su Jiu subconsciously ran away. How could she not run? Yuebai, that unlucky immortal, was actually being dragged by her!
But just as she had this thought, her legs went weak and she trembled and said, "My Immortal Lord... Seeing you today is truly a beautiful sight!"
Whenever Yuebai thought about Su Jiu sending a lantern to Gong Ci, he would get furious. Looking at the lantern, he felt uncomfortable. He walked straight in front of Su Jiu and stomped on the lantern hard. The bamboo joints inside were broken and the drawing paper turned into clumps. Only then did he feel better. He grabbed Su Jiu's arm and was about to take Su Jiu away.
