Upon entering, he saw that it was indeed a corridor constructed by water.
Once Song Yunji arrived, he immediately ignored Song Qingyu and headed towards the front.
Song Qingyu slowly stopped walking as if he did not want to mention it, but in reality, he was testing the waters, "Fourth Sister, since this corridor is so lively, everyone must have been here often in the past right?"
Song Shu shook her head, "The long lantern corridor is only a place where the citizens rise. I occasionally hear it from the maids. I didn't go out often, but I told my second sister that she didn't like it. This is not a place for celebrities, after all. "
Song Shu's words were somewhat regretful. Holding the lanterns, she compared them to her beautiful appearance.
When Song Qingyu heard this, he blankly looked into the distance.
He had never let down his guard when he returned to the Song Residence, and it seemed that he had been too cautious. Song Shu was timid and did not have any conflict of interest or grudge with him.
"So that's how it is. This place is very good."
As the two of them spoke, they slowly moved forward until they reached the end of the corridor, near the water source. Song Yunjiu greeted, "Big Sis, Fourth Sis, over here."
Song Qingyu saw that she was squatting on the river bank, almost completely squeezed into the crowd. She forcefully squeezed out two seats, leaving behind two seats for Song Qingyu and Song Shu. The two of them slowly moved forward and squatted down together.
As Song Yunjiu spoke, he suddenly felt vexed, "Fourth Sister, do you have a fire?"
Song Shu was stunned. "I …" I forgot. "
A woman at the side smiled kindly, "This is the first time you guys have come here, right? There are two candles in the two long lamps at the entrance of the tunnel. Even the fire he brought with him was not as pure as the fire here. Everyone is here to pray for the long lamp. "
When Song Yunji heard this, he was already very happy. "I'll be going to light the fire first."
"Big Sis, let's go as well." Song Shuhang looked at Song Qingyu expectantly as he held the lantern in his hand.
Song Qingyu turned around to look at the lanterns at the intersection. They were two ordinary red lanterns. One could not see the lanterns clearly from afar. Only the outline of the lanterns could be seen. Long words were written on it.
"Alright, you guys go first, I'll be there shortly."
When Song Yunji and Song Shu heard this, they immediately left one after the other.
Song Qingyu looked at the river as it gradually disappeared into the distance. There were lanterns and tickets among them. Some of them sank into the river when they were not far away, while others followed the wind as they moved forward.
"Is there a story behind this?"
Before the old woman could reply, another person appeared beside her.
Murong Ling gently smiled and slowly said the beautiful thing, "It's a long story. The beauties and Elementary Scholars of the lanterns shop lived together in troubled times, and eventually managed to keep up with each other's story. "
The woman laughed when she heard this, "This is not a story. This is just a town, and has never been so prosperous before. It's the long lamps that come here to change everything. "
When Song Qingyu heard this, he saw the seriousness in the woman's eyes.
"Long lights should be a great man." Murong Ling smiled faintly.
The old woman paused for a moment, then suddenly left with a smile. "Actually, the story that was spread within is no longer that important."
Mu Rong Ling and Song Qingyu stood up at the same time.
Murong Ling looked at the lanterns on the river.
The old woman left slowly, her body hunched over.
Seeing her leave, Murong Ling said slowly, "There are many lanterns in Yu City, but the Long Lantern Corridor is actually less than a hundred years old. I heard my father talking about the stories here, but none of them could be found. There was a vague mention of a certain person — Nanyao's Princess Changan. I still have her portrait at home. "
Princess Changan?
This name sounded so familiar, as though he had heard of it somewhere before.
Something flashed through Song Qingyu's mind, but it was quickly gone. Just as he was thinking.
A loud sound echoed out.
A sound of falling into the water came from the front.
Everyone was shocked and immediately went to take a look.
A person fell into the water. He was desperately crying for help in the water.
On the shore, Song Yunji was shocked, and hurriedly cried out for help, "Who knows how to swim? Save my fourth sister!"
Song Qingyu's brows furrowed as he looked over. Song Shu had really fallen into the water.
Song Shou kept splashing around in the water. "Help!" "Help!"
In the early spring, for the women and girls on the shore with lanterns, who would dare to go and save someone? Song Shu was the daughter of the Tian Clan. She could not sit idly by and do nothing. He could only quickly walk forward. Before he could get close, the two people beside Murong Ling had already jumped down.
They were two maids who were very good at water. They went forward and pulled Song Shu up.
Song Shuyu had yet to recover from her shock. She turned her head to look at the lake's surface in fright. With a shaky voice, she said, "Just now, there seemed to be someone in the water holding my feet."
Song Qing and Yu were shocked and subconsciously looked into the water.
As Song Qingyu got closer to the calm surface of the water, a man in black jumped out. He raised his saber and attacked Song Qingyu. The water splashes blocked Song Qingyu's line of sight in an instant.
"Big sister, be careful!"
Song Qingyu could not react in time. Yet, he felt a rapid gust of wind pass by him.
Dang. Like a stone hitting a blade.
At the same time, the two maidservants beside Murong Ling stopped her. The black clothed man saw that the situation was not good, he coldly glanced at Song Qingyu and immediately left.
Song Qingyu immediately chased after him, grabbing onto his sleeves in an attempt to capture him. After exchanging a few blows, he realized that the other party was extremely agile and was hard to deal with.
That person had taken advantage of this opportunity to flee.
The maidservant didn't give chase and followed closely behind Murong Ling.
Song Qingyu recognized them. They were the two maidservants he had met at the Pu He Temple. He did not expect them to have extraordinary kung fu skills. However, during the most critical moment, there seemed to be something else that saved him. Looking around, the surroundings were completely calm, making people think that it was just Song Qingyu's imagination.
Song Qingyu was very clear that someone had helped him just now. The moment he realized what was happening, he immediately turned around and fled.
Song Yunjiu's expression changed as he helped Song Shu up, "Big Sis, is she … "People?"
The meaning behind his words was, Shen Shi.
Song Qingyu's gaze was serene as he pondered carefully. He didn't feel like a person from the Shen family. Mrs Shen would not only send one person, moreover, if she could pull Song Shuren into the water, according to her character, she would be the first to make a move on Song Qingyu. She then shook her head, "I'm not sure, why don't you send Fourth Sister back first to change into a clean set of clothes."
Song Shu was obviously frightened. She shivered when she was in the water.
"Big Sis, let's go back together. It was dark, and Mom said it wasn't safe. "I'm worried."
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Song Qingyu smiled gently. She naturally wanted to see who it was that wanted to harm her, "I still have things to do. You guys can go back first. "It's fine as long as Nannan is with me."
Song Qingyu turned around and bowed to Mu Rong Ling, "Thank you so much."
"Of course I would help."
From the long lampstand, Song Qingyu separated from the crowd and only brought Nannan. He chased after the scattered white powder on the ground. Song Qingyu had purposely placed a bag of white powder on that person's body when they were fighting just now.
As they continued forward, they noticed that the path became narrower and narrower. They had already arrived at the alley where ordinary people lived. At this moment, almost every household had gone to the busy city. The alleyway grew quiet instead.
