17 Lantern Festival

As soon as I entered Manzhou, Lijiangliu left a sentence and then contacted it, and disappeared. It was located at the junction of Han and Miao. There were both Han people dressed in flirting and colorful Miao girls. There were many local products on the street stalls, mostly small toys made of bone and glaze, as well as bamboo reed sleighs and guzhengs, and coincidentally lanterns, and many lanterns were placed, with exquisite craftsmanship and dazzling eyes. n∈n∈,

After finding an inn, Chu Ci and Qing Nu Hero went out for a trip, bought a few small items to collect, and ate a meal of fragrant bamboo rice. As the sky darkened, the lanterns rose.

With the crowds of people, countless Chinese women and women were wearing flowery clothes and carrying exquisite lanterns to play with dragons, guessing riddles, and competing poetry. There were also dozens of strong men with white seedlings, naked arms, dragon and lion dance, and many other celebrations such as juggling, martial arts, storytelling, and painting.

Seriously speaking, the Green Woman is actually a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. How could she not get together when she saw the excitement? She pulled Chu Ci into the crowd, played and went shopping everywhere, and stood in front of a juggling stall. At this moment, the Miaozhuang Dahan held a strong wine in his mouth, held a torch in his hand, and squirted up a ball of fire. If that were the case, it was nothing. The fire expanded in the air and then split into two heads and tails. It spiraled for a few seconds before it was quietly extinguished. This shows that the great man's delicate skills were visible.

The Miao people worship snakes, and the two snakes dance, which means auspiciousness, which immediately attracted everyone's praise...

"Okay, okay!" The green woman looked at her eyes and clapped her hands with the others.

But Chu Ci was depressed. He was too short, a nine-year-old boy, no matter how tall he was, he was only more than four feet away. When the crowds were crowded, he could not see anything at all.

After glanced at the Qing Nu Hero, Chu Ci thought it would be better to go shopping in the lanterns by himself, otherwise he would just wait to be blinded by the crowd.

After letting go of the Qing Woman's hand, Chu Ci turned around and saw a small stall selling masks not far away. His eyes turned, squeezed out of the crowd and came to the stall.

The stall selling masks was crowded with many people, and a beautiful girl in purple seedling clothes picked up the mask with her hands and gestured. The vendor saw the beautiful girl's seedling clothes and a thin braid. He knew that she was a Miao person, so she let her play with it.

"Wow, so many masks!" The beautiful girl put down her mask and pulled a woman in white robe beside her. The woman in white robe was dignified and Sushu stood together like a mother and daughter flowers.

"Little girl like it. Take a look." The vendor pointed at the mask and spitted, "It was all based on Nuwa's deeds."

"Nuwa?" A hint of crampness flashed through the beautiful girl's eyes, and she looked at each other with the woman in white robe, and smiled.

"Hu Emperor?" Chu Ci also had an unpredictable smile on his lips. He originally planned to buy a mask to cover his face, but he also stopped to listen to the story.

"Have you ever heard of Nuwa's deeds?" The vendor was about to talk about it when he saw it attracting the attention of passers-by.

"Of course I've heard of it!" The beautiful girl is obviously not a qualified audience.

The woman in the white robe showed a doting and helpless look, quietly pulled the beautiful girl, turned to the vendor and said, "Let me tell me."

"Nuwa, before creating humans, he created chickens on the first day of the first lunar month, dogs on the second day of the first lunar month, and sheep on the third day of the first lunar month."

"Sheep!" The beautiful girl raised her fingers and gestured in harmony.

The vendor glanced at the beautiful girl and continued, "Where is the fourth day of the lunar month, I created the pig!"

After being interrupted by the beautiful girl, the vendor forgot what he said: "It's the sixth day of the lunar month, and I created a horse, and it's the seventh day of the lunar month."

"On the seventh day of the lunar month, Nuwa created small clay figures according to her own appearance, in order to pass on human beings forever. Nuwa created the marriage ceremony. She became a matchmaker, and everyone learned the method of creating human beings and passed on the family line with her own strength." The beautiful girl's voice was sweet, and her every move was unnaturally made people feel obedient and trustworthy.

The vendor felt that he had been in trouble for eight lifetimes, so it was easy to do some small business. Why did this little girl always steal his lines? He quickly said, "By the way, I don't know the story of Fuxi and Nuwa, do you want to know?"

The audience started to cheer and asked the vendor to continue talking.

"I want to hear it. Everyone buys a mask and listens to stories with a mask. That's the atmosphere. Come on!" The vendor began to sell his mask.

"Ignore him, I'll say!" The beautiful girl frowned slightly, as if she was reluctant to use Nuwa's story to make money, and shouted: "I'll say."

The beautiful girl was about to stand up. Chu Ci looked at the vendor's bitter face and felt moved. He also squeezed out of the crowd and said loudly: "This lady, I have been relying on these little toys to make money to support my family for a year. I have told you that how can the family live? I'd better wait for a while." He took out a golden leaf, popped it up and nailed it to the mask stand. "Today is a lantern festival, I have wrapped the mask here, and everyone will take one for celebration."

"The story just now was well told. Miss, can you continue?"

Chu Ci took advantage of his actions and had a free mask. The audience rushed forward and each chose a mask to wear it. They did not disperse. They continued to surround the mask stall, waiting for the beautiful girl to continue to tell the story of Fuxi and Nuwa.

The beautiful girl looked at Chu Ci in surprise and continued to tell the story of how Fuxi and Nuwa got married. After saying that, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the beautiful girl and the woman in white robe also left with masks.

The vendor packed up the sold-out stall, took out a golden double-tailed snake mask from the bamboo bag, handed it to Chu Ci, and said gratefully: "This young man, thanks to you tonight, I have a mask here. I planned to leave it for my child and give it to you."

"Thank you!" Chu Ci took the mask, played with it in his hand for a moment, and then put it on his face. The cold metal feeling was pressed on his forehead. After putting on the bitail snake mask, the originally beautiful and handsome face added a sense of mystery.

After watching the fire-breathing juggling, the Green Woman turned around and found that Chu Ci had disappeared without realizing it. Although she was not worried about Chu Ci's safety, she was also anxious to search everywhere.

"Ziying! Xiao Ziying!"

When Chu Ci heard the paging of the Green Girl, he immediately hid back and left in the opposite direction, and walked around a water corridor where he guessed riddles, and then he avoided the Green Girl.

"Bang!"

Before he could come back to his senses, he suddenly collided with another person's head.

"Well?"

"oops!"

The two of them exclaimed in pain at the same time. Chu Ci quickly and quickly grabbed each other's hand to prevent her from falling in the crowd.

"It's you?"

"It's you?"

Chu Ci and the beautiful girl exclaimed softly at the same time.

"Zixuan! Where are you?"
