"Have you been up for a long time?" Mo Han took a sip of tea. It tasted delicate and sweet.
"Nothing. Cutting bamboo is very fast. I started to cut bamboo as soon as I woke up." Fu Yuchen was chewing lotus seeds to eat. Mo Han looked at it and curiously bit one. She decided to give up and let Fu Yuchen enjoy it exclusively.
"Why haven't you seen Granny's granddaughter, Qinqin?"
"I saw it." Fu Yuchen took another lotus seed and said, "When I cut the bamboo, Little girl came out for a while. He looked very cute and agile. Then, he came out for a while and went back to his room."
"Well … then I'll see if I can see her tomorrow. Oh, right, we're going to the mayor's house for dinner tonight, remember?"
"I remember. Everyone eat together. Don't worry. Say hello to your mother-in-law later. You won't go wrong." Fu Yuchen lowered his head and scratched the lotus seed with his hand.
Mo Han nodded and said, "We can't let everyone wait. We still need to see how the food is going and whether there is enough space. We are more than forty people."
"Don't worry, the mayor's house seems to be the usual place for banquets in the town. Often, there are over a hundred people together. Forty of us are not enough."
"How do you know?" Mo Han was very surprised. Fu Yuchen had not carefully read the group introduction and the plan of the planning department. Mo Han had read it several times and was sure that there was no such content.
"I was just chatting with my mother-in-law. She told me that she told me about some interesting places here. I'll take you there later." Fu Yuchen's face was filled with pride. Seeing this, Mo Han was also in a clear mood and agreed to cooperate.
When dusk fell, the two of them were about to set off for the Mayor's house. Just as Mo Han was about to leave, her mother-in-law chased after him and put on a thick scarf for Mo Han. She said affectionately, "In a while, the open space will be windy and cold. You guys will come back at night to cool down. It's better to bring this."
Mo Han thanked her mother-in-law in a flattered manner. Fu Yuchen even pretended to be angry and asked her why she didn't have him.
The mother-in-law smiled and patted the muscles on Fu Yuchen's arm, saying, "Boys are full of energy and blood. They are not afraid of the cold."
After Mo Han thanked her mother-in-law again, the two of them set off. Mo Han reached out and touched the scarf on the road. The material was very thick, and the pattern was also very simple geometry. There were small plum blossoms embroidered on the corners.
"I wonder if Granny made this herself. I really want to buy one. It's really comfortable and warm." Mo Han lowered her head and sighed, her hands reluctant to leave the scarf.
"Go back and ask." Fu Yuchen answered.
By the time they arrived at the mayor's house, there were already some people sitting in the courtyard. Lizi saw Mo Han first and immediately rushed over.
"Sister Qiu, Sister Qiu." Lizi excitedly jumped beside Mo Han, "The house that Huo Tong and I live in is against the lake. It's very nice. Fortunately, we snatched it early."
Huo Tong followed, his handsome little face always tense. "Well, there's a boat by the lake. Grandpa said we can row."
"Alright, Lizi, I will go. Stop jumping and go find a place to eat." Mo Han held down Lizi and turned to Huo Tong and said, "Are you used to eating in town?"
Before Huo Tong could say anything, Lizi replied, "Eat, eat, it's especially delicious. It tastes different from the cafeteria in the squad. It's all delicious!"
"Good, it's delicious. Eat more later. I heard it's one hundred and eight famous dishes here."
Lizi and Huo Tong looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes. Huo Tong asked, "What is 108?"
Mo Han took the two of them inside and sat down beside them. "It's just 108 small dishes, each of which is small. However, we don't know if we can arrange 108 dishes for today's seats. Also, when you see what you like to eat, you must hurry up and do it. There's only that small dish for all the dishes."
"Really? It's so fun!" Lizi took out his phone, turned on the messaging app, and began typing, "I must tell Mo Li and You Le to make them envious."
Mo Han thought that these people were about the same age, had high attainments in e-sports, and would be able to play better, but she didn't expect that Lizi had already played so well with them.
Lizi was standing by the side, holding his phone as if he had picked up money, laughing happily.
Mo Han reminded Lizi, "Tell Mo Li and the others that Big Sister Qiu will bring them out to play later."
Lizi curled his lips and said, "I'm not going to say anything. I have to make them envious right now. Hehe, take some photos later so that they can only see and not eat. I'm going to kill them."
"Then be careful and finish taking the photos. There won't be any dishes left." Huo Tong sneered mercilessly.
"Ah, then what should we do?" Lizi was so scared that he was in a dilemma. "Then I'll have to let them see it first. I'll have to experience it first."
Mo Han was so amused by Lizi that she patted his head and signaled him to refuel before getting up and leaving.
After Mo Han shook the tables a few more times, she returned to her own table. When the dishes were about to be served, Fu Yuchen stood up and said a few words of gossip and jokes to everyone. He encouraged them routinely and held the banquet.
There were only five people sitting at the table of ten. Fu Yuchen and Mo Han also sat at the table of the mayor. The mayor explained to them that the dishes could not be repeated at each table, so they only gathered an auspicious number and served 64 dishes.
The dishes weren't exquisite, but the ingredients were clean and unadorned. They were all vegetables and animals raised in the town.
A meal was also full of dishes. The guests enjoyed themselves. Fu Yuchen and Mo Han stayed where they were and waited for everyone to finish their meal before finally leaving the Mayor's house.
Wrapped in a scarf given by her mother-in-law, Mo Han walked along the bluestone road in the town, followed by Fu Yuchen, who had drunk two glasses of wine brewed in the town. Her heart was also warm and soft.
"Ruo Yu, I'll take you to see a good one." Just as he was about to turn towards his mother-in-law's house, Fu Yuchen suddenly grabbed Mo Han. Without caring whether Mo Han agreed or not, he directly pulled her to another corner.
"What are you going to see?" Mo Han followed Fu Yuchen more and more sideways. Finally, she left the town and walked to Qinghe Mountain, which was on the back of the town.
"You'll know when you come with me." Fu Yuchen continued to walk resolutely in front of him, but he could tell that he only knew a general direction, and that he was simply walking casually on the road.
Mo Han helplessly grabbed the big scarf and thought about the introduction to the mountain. It seemed that there was a Taoist temple on the mountain, so there were no graves and people often went up the mountain. There seemed to be no large animals on the mountain, so there shouldn't be any danger. Then let's follow Fu Yuchen.
The two of them walked all the way to the side of Qinghe Mountain. They didn't climb up the mountain. Finally, they arrived at an open space with a radius of five to six meters. They said that it was an open space because there were no trees on it. There were only sparse grass and moss that were not as tall as their calves. After all, the trees had never been broken during their journey. The two of them were standing on the edge of the open space with towering trees. Fu Yuchen and Mo Han were able to surround them.
"Right here?" Seeing that Fu Yuchen had stopped, Mo Han raised her head and asked doubtfully.
"Yes, Granny said it's around eleven o'clock. It's now half past ten. Let's wait for a while." Fu Yuchen raised his hand to look at his watch and told Mo Han.
"It was Granny who told you. That should be unique to this place. Mm, I look forward to it." When Mo Han heard that it was her mother-in-law, she was relieved.
"Are you cold?" Fu Yuchen tilted his head and looked at Mo Han. He thought that she was wearing this big shawl, so thick that it shouldn't be a problem.
"It's not cold, but you're wearing less clothes. Are you cold?" Mo Han wanted to open a little scarf and split it with Fu Yuchen.
"Hey, don't. Wrap it up yourself. I'm not cold, but if I freeze you, I'll be guilty." Fu Yuchen's words were unforgiving, but he tried his best to gently surround Mo Han. Seeing that Mo Han could not stretch out her hand, she could only bulge her small face and stare at him. Then, she reached out and poked her cheek.
"Hey, stop poking." Mo Han tilted her head to avoid him, but if she turned left, Fu Yuchen would poke right, and if she turned right, Fu Yuchen would poke left. Mo Han was so anxious that she couldn't stretch out her hand, so she opened her mouth and bit it.
"Sigh, sigh, let go, let go." '"Why are you still biting? Are you a puppy?" Fu Yuchen pulled his fingers out after putting both of his hands on it.
"You said that? Look at you poking my face. I don't have dimples. I don't know what kind of fun you're playing with." Mo Hanwei lowered his head in grievance and rubbed against the scarf.
Fu Yuchen lowered his head and took a closer look. Sure enough, his cheeks were flushed red. "No, you're flushing too easily, aren't you? You're obviously touching porcelain."
Mo Han ignored him and simply stared blankly at the empty space, waiting for something to appear.
The two of them didn't speak. They just looked at the empty space in front of them and felt a little silent. Mo Han looked at the empty space and the moonlight poured down like a bucket of moonlight had left a hole in it.
The two waited and waited. Mo Han was a little sleepy. He yawned and asked Fu Yuchen, "What time is it? Are you still here? I'm so sleepy."
Fu Yuchen raised his hand to look at his watch. It was already eleven o'clock, and he was a little uncertain. "Granny said it was eleven o'clock. Can we wait a bit longer?"
"Yes." Mo Han narrowed her eyes and nodded.
Suddenly, Mo Han vaguely seemed to see a bit of light. She thought that no one else would come to play, right? Mo Han shook her head and tried to wake herself up. She looked up and found that the light was gone again. Just as she was thinking if it was an illusion, she saw a bit of light coming out from another place. It was yellow-green, floating steadily upwards.
An idea flashed through Mo Han's mind.
"Fireflies!"
Mo Han turned around and grabbed Fu Yuchen's clothes, but her eyes were staring at the little bit of light.
"En, don't get excited. I don't know if you'll scare them, but there'll be more in a while." Fu Yuchen pulled Mo Han's hand off his clothes and placed it in his palm, holding it tightly.
Slowly, like the essence of heaven and earth, numerous yellow-green dots of light flew out from the surrounding trees bit by bit. Then, they slowly gathered on the empty space in the middle. They slowly rose up and spread out. Most of them were floating around Mo Han and Fu Yuchen, slowly floating up and down in place.
It was as if all the stars in the sky had suddenly fallen to the earth.
Mo Han raised her head curiously to look at the closest one to her. She didn't know if it was because the night was too heavy, so she couldn't see the firefly's appearance. She could only see a ball of yellow and green light that had been dyed by the dizziness.
"So beautiful." Mo Han stared blankly at the strange scene in front of her. Now, she felt that this trip was truly worthwhile.
"Yes, it's very beautiful." Fu Yuchen lowered his head. The emotions in his eyes were concealed by the night. He didn't know if it was the firefly or Mo Han.
"Can I film this?" Mo Han shook their hands.
"Maybe not. We don't have a camera." Fu Yuchen felt that Mo Han's hand was exposed and a little cold, so he clenched it even more into his palm and used his own temperature to warm her up.
"What about the cell phone? I have it with me." As Mo Han spoke, she was about to break free from Fu Yuchen's hand and take out her phone.
Fu Yuchen felt that the cold and slippery little hand was about to slip away. He quickly grabbed it with both hands and patted her hand to placate her.
"Stop looking. If you use your phone, you won't be able to see without turning on the flash. But if you turn on the flash, not only will you cover up the light of the fireflies, you will also scare them."
"Mm" Mo Han's eyes never left the firefly in front of her. She nodded and said, "Then look with your eyes. Although you can't keep it in the photo, we can keep it in our memories."
