  The lanterns by the shore look strange at night,

  Unknowingly, the chicken crowed in the morning.

  I have been drifting down the river in a small boat for a few days, which is quite a bit of a hidden world. Kyushu thought that the dream of traveling with the gods was realized. Now the freedom of wandering around the world in a boat has evoked the dream of a ranger who leans on a sword and a horse in the heart of Kyushu.

  Who didn’t have the dreams of youth? In ancient times, infatuated people wanted a couple for life, and now some people want to be spoiled as little princesses in fairy tales; Not to mention which child is not very confident now, who didn’t have a Hongmeng of “being the first in the world” when he was a child?

  "Pullala" a piece of birds fell full of the boat, Kyushu was stunned, and the visitor was Qixi Festival.

   "Now people's emotions are rarely the kind of thing that lovers can hardly get married." Qixi sighed.

  The appearance of Qixi Festival is different from the gods who control the four o'clock in the four o'clock day. It can be said that Qixi Festival is actually the product of obsession, which is a couple who are forcibly separated by restrictions.

"Unfortunately, how many people play with other people's feelings now? Whether it is grief or friendship, family affection..." Qixi is helpless, she has existed for thousands of years, Qixi only feels that today's human feelings are more often seen in father's kindness and filial piety. Loving husband and wife, righteousness and thin clouds, but sometimes they are not as pure as the animals in the mountains and forests.

   was talking, there were shouts from both sides of the strait, "Selling lanterns, lotus lanterns make a wish!"

   "Nine yuan and nine one for a long time; 13 yuan for a pair, one for a lifetime; thirty-three yuan for four cents, forty-seven, auspicious for generations to come!"

  The man who sold the lanterns said so bluntly. As a result, the stall was surrounded by a group of men and women. Those with money, those with lanterns... In front of a small lantern stand, it was actually a bit crowded.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, squeeze into the river again!" the stall owner yelled, if people continue to squeeze, I am afraid that the stall owner will be squeezed into the river and become a river that cannot float. Lights!

  Kyushu on the ship looked at this scene, only to find it quite interesting. Some of the people who buy lanterns are in pairs to beg for prizes, and some make a wish during the Qixi Festival for the son and beauty. As for the lanterns of the stall owner, Kyushu can’t help but make his tongue.

  Kyushu knows the truth, the adults who buy lanterns are certainly not fools, but they all want to ask for a "good meaning" during this festival. Besides, there is not much money, so they don't care much.

Speaking of it, this stall owner is really a "business", knowing that with this good homophony, people who buy lanterns will not be able to bargain, and their own lanterns can easily be sold at a high price, even cheaper than the next one. The stall owners sold more.

  Speaking of it, this stall owner makes use of the buyer’s consumer psychology to profit from it as a means of business. It’s no big deal to buy and sell if you like. But Meng Jiuzhou feels very awkward. Some people say that "no treacherous no business" is purely a fallacy. It should be "no tip but no business". The transmission is wrong, these merchants actually take this as a matter of course!

  Thinking about Kyushu, it’s even more so in the Yanhuang Continent where he is located. The unscrupulous merchants' entrapment of buyers is that even the newborn baby is not letting go!

  In the evening, the stall holder’s lanterns were sold out, and people scattered around, waiting for the night to come.

  Kyushu looked at the vendor with a smile on his face and counted the income, and couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous. But the pure smile of the stall owner made Kyushu very puzzled. There was no greedy appearance in the stall owner's smile, unlike what a "profiteer" should have.

  Meng Jiuzhou looked down and thought: I want to see what this businessman is doing?

  I saw that the stall owner took out a letter, put most of the money in it, and wrote something on the envelope.

  Because the distance is not close, Kyushu did not see exactly what the stall owner wrote, only vaguely saw the three words "orphanage", Kyushu knew that his suspicion against the stall owner just now should be an insult.

When the cool breeze blew, Kyushu felt a little hot on his face. I misunderstood the stall owner for most of the day. Although the stall owner didn’t know that there was such a "little thing" nearby and thought he was a "profite businessman", Kyushu still felt that I'm pretty sorry for the stall owner.

  The stall owner left soon. Kyushu wanted to apologize, but found that the stall owner could no longer be seen, and he couldn’t help feeling regretful.

What Kyushu didn’t know was that in a place that Kyushu could not see, the stall owner took out the remaining money, bought some sausages, cat and dog food, came to a place between the two floors, and put down a food bowl. , Pour all the things I bought just now.

Of course, what the stall owner doesn’t know is that most of the people who came to buy his lantern today were not because of the good meaning of the price, but someone bought his lantern on March 3 and found out that he did it silently. Yes, this brings friends to support the business.

  As night falls, there are shallow lights on both sides of the river, reflecting the river. It is actually a little magnificent, and there is a taste of absurd time that is easy to indulge in.

Kyushu felt that the scene in front of him overlapped with certain foods in the land of Yanhuang, but it was very different-the people on the benches of the riverbank park, the parents who talked about the principles in the street, and sent them to the sanitation workers. The shop for a cup of hot tea... Kyushu feels very different again.

   There was a loud noise, and it turned out that people came to the bank to set off the river lights.

  The river lamp enters the water, the candlelight flickers shallowly, and the men and women stand on the shore with their hands folded, saying their wishes.

  Some people even took a stick of incense to the West in the sky, and worshipped the star Altair Vega, then lit the river lantern and inserted the incense on the bank of the river.

  It was so lively all night, and parents took their children on the riverside to ask for the high school entrance exam for the coming year to win the first prize in one fell swoop. With more people asking, I don’t know how difficult it is for Kuixing to make people do what they want!

  Kyushu kept watching, and fell asleep after a long time when his eyelids were fighting and sleepy.

  In the early morning of the next day, Kyushu was awakened by a rooster. Qixi had already left, and after going back at four o'clock, Xiao Zhou also left the place last night early.

  Coincidentally, not far behind the boat, the river lanterns set by the group of people last night were easily floated. The candles had been extinguished, and the prayers of the people were clearly written on the colored paper strips.

They were only allowed to meet on the Magpie Bridge once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.
