Chapter 161: Lover's Moon (3)
"Tell me something. Shurou was not at ease, and explained again: "Don't worry, those tigers have spirituality and will not eat people." We'll stay one more stick of incense, and when the winner is decided, we'll leave quickly, and the moon god will have no restraints. ”
"Hmm. Su Zi replied absentmindedly and did not relax his nervousness. She's thinking about whether to cast an enchantment to protect herself and Shurou. But there are too many people here, I am afraid that someone will find out that she is casting spells, and I remember that the rare beast is extremely sensitive to the breath of spells, and after thinking about it again and again, I still give up.
Fortunately, the tiger just sniffed casually, and the silver eye swept through the crowd, and then walked away with a flick of its tail.
At this time, the beat of the drums was getting farther and farther away, and in a few moments, the splendid carriage had driven to the middle of the square. There, there is a stone platform that is two zhang high, with a radius of one or twenty meters. In order to make it easier for the people around to see, lanterns and torches were lit around the stone platform, illuminating the darkening sky as if it were day.
As soon as the carriage stopped, the crowd erupted in cheers. The crowd that separated the two sides closed in the middle and squeezed forward. Su Zi and Shurou, who were originally hiding at the back of the crowd, were unknowingly caught in the crowd again.
The beauties dressed in light gauze got off the carriage, climbed the stone platform in turn, turned around, and stood in two rows facing the crowd. They were all between sixteen and twenty years of age, the women were delicate and delicate, the men were red and white-toothed, and they were all dressed in gauze clothes, and it was not necessary to guess that they were the nobles who participated in the celebration.
Subsequently, several men who got out of the carriage carried large drums on their shoulders and placed them in the center of Shiyang. Then they bent down around the drum and touched the ground with their foreheads.
There was silence all around, and everyone stared at the high platform with wide eyes.
A soft, tactful, sing-like voice with a strange intonation sounded in the square. Accompanied by the ethereal singing, there is a melodious and crisp wind chime.
After saluting, the men slowly straightened up, raised their hands above their heads, and clapped "popping". Su Zi's big eyes looked around in surprise, but he didn't find anyone singing, but the rattle like a raindrop spring came from the silver bell tied around the waist of the gentlemen who shook gently.
More musical instruments sounded, and some of them held light drums in their hands, beating them from time to time. Some hands are holding a kind of bamboo tube-shaped, like a flute and not a flute, and blowing lightly. Those men who knelt on the ground once again hit the drum with both palms quickly and violently.
All of Su Zi's attention at this time was attracted by the woman who was independent of the drum.
The beat of the drum was rapid, and the woman knelt motionless on the surface of the drum, and suddenly her head was thrown back, and her hair raised in a graceful arc in the air. At the same time, her arms were raised high towards the sky, and a low sigh came out of her mouth.
The low voice is like the first cry of a yellow warbler, which is extremely beautiful, but its tail note is soft and hoarse, and it is provocative. With a low voice, the sleeves of the woman's robe flicked, and her waist twisted sharply.
She was dressed in a dark red totem embroidered witch robe loosely draped, the placket was open, revealing a wonderful figure with only a light fur coat inside, and two long crimson ribbons wrapped around her arms.
As the woman swirled, a faint silver glow fell from the sky. The rising moon casts a clear moonlight, turning into tangible, tiny spots of light, which linger around her with the light of the torch. The streamer is flying, and the whole person is like a flower separated from the fog, hazy and ethereal, and the beauty is out of reach.
Until the woman stopped dancing for a long time, there was still a dead silence in the square, and the music stopped abruptly.
The gentlemen on both sides covered their chests beating rapidly, and looked up at the woman one by one eagerly, looking extremely excited!
Seeing their scorching, urgent, and eager eyes, Su Zi finally came back to her senses. This time, she was startled by the roaring and earth-shattering cheers around her.
There was a sky-shattering cheer from the crowd. Hundreds of young aristocrats howled at the same time. One after another. Be scatterbrained.
Shurou covered her ears with one hand, leaned towards Su Zi, and shouted softly, "Who is she?"
"You don't know?" Su Zi asked in surprise.
Shurou glanced at her, shook her head, and said, "I don't know." But certainly the identity is extraordinary. ”
"She just now..." Su Zi paused after saying a few words, frowning. When the woman was dancing, she inadvertently glanced back at her, a pair of pale golden eyes sparkling, although they were far away, Su Zi remembered the feeling of a sudden jump in her heart at that moment.
There is also the clear light around the woman, if there is substance. Qianxuan also had a spiritual light lingering on his body, but it was the luster of the magic element, which was completely different from the moonlight illusion around the woman. But how can moonshine be tangible?
While Su Zi was thinking, the frenzied howling gradually stopped, but it was still full of people. An excited young man's voice in front of him came into his ears, also asking his companion: "You can actually attract the light of the moon! Who is the waiter of the moon this year?"
"Yes, the last time Yuehua appeared was twenty years ago. I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes, this is the real blessing of God!" sighed another man in front of him to the left.
"That's normal, this festival has long since gone sour. It becomes a day that can be utilized. The nobles did not want to use this day to climb the high branches and marry the king or the lord of the city. Nor are they afraid of blasphemy. If I were the god of the moon, I wouldn't bless it. Another person took over.
"But have you noticed that the waiter's dance is not like a dance of worship to the gods, but a dance of asking for marriage? ”
"Don't you know this? Today is the Lover's Moon, and the moon god will favor the lover. I think it was because of this dance danced by the Moon Servant that she took a fancy to a certain noble present, and she had affection in her heart, and she also wanted to accept it, and the moon god sent it down to God. ”
"I see. Oh, no matter which gentleman she falls in love with, people can't ask for it. If it weren't for the rules, the victorious monarch today might have fought for Lord Yueshi. Ha ha. ”
Hearing this, Su Zi and Shurou looked at each other, both feeling a little incredible and interesting, and they had a vague expectation of watching the excitement in their hearts.
After a few words of discussion, the conversation stopped. The square was quiet again, and a handsome young man appeared on the stone platform. After bowing to the Moon Servant, he turned to face the crowd and said with a happy face, "Ladies and gentlemen, the bright moon has risen, and the moment we are looking forward to has come. Our noble attendant has just listened to the parable, and is about to announce who will be led by which beautiful prince will lead us in the revelry today. Now, are you just like me, looking forward to it and being a little nervous?"
As he spoke, he looked at the gentlemen next to him one by one, and laughter rang out in the crowd. He was answered by the expressions of the gentlemen who were either angry, shy, nervous, or confident.
After the laughter had passed, the young man's eyes wandered around the crowd, and he said in a loud voice: "But let our nobles stand here and let you pick and choose at will? What about your enthusiasm? What about the burning affection in your hearts for your beloved?
As he spat out the last word, the crowd erupted again. As if they had received some kind of permission, everyone was inexplicably excited and rushed to the edge of the stone platform. Su Zi was pushed and stood unsteadily, hurriedly pulled Shurou into her arms to protect her, and retreated in the opposite direction of the crowd.
The rain of petals flew towards the stone platform......
Su Zi can now understand what is the use of wearing so many garlands on the nobles.
I saw bouquets of flowers, strings of silver bells, and all kinds of delicate trinkets thrown at the nobles on the stage like sudden raindrops, and soon piled up at their feet, and even the nobles of the baroness flew into the air......
Fortunately, the nobles made a move, and the accurate heads were all good, at least there was no case of smashing the heads of the nobles and breaking the blood.
Su Zi and the others were blocked.
The aristocratic youths on the inner and outer three floors surrounded them in a circle. Su Zi's brain let the small objects hit several times, not to mention Shu Rou, who was about to be overwhelmed by colorful flowers! This is still Su Zi's neglect technique, and while all the people collectively ignore Su Zi's existence, they also have a small effect on Shu Rou around her. Otherwise, with the beauty of Shurou, I am afraid that all the bouquets and ornaments will lie at their feet.
To be honest, this is not the first time Su Zi has encountered such a situation, he has seen many larger battles, and he can still calm down in the face of the crowd at this moment. But Shurou held a petal on her head, looking at the circle of noble young and young people around her who were either masculine or delicate and charming, and her eyes were burning and shining, she looked a little at a loss.
Especially seeing their eyes glancing vigorously at her chest and the short animal skin skirt, Shurou bit her lip, and simply dragged Su Zi to the alley behind the square and stepped on a petal.
"Go away, go away, get out of the way!
Seeing that Xiao Jungui was shy, he tore open the noisy door and shouted, and all the lords slowly retreated. But the people in front retreated, and the people behind followed suit. They are always in the middle of the encirclement. At this moment, there was a cold wind blowing behind him, and I saw the crowd in front of him brushing it and scattering to the side quickly!
A cold woman's voice came from behind: "Get out of the way!"
It turned out that Si and his party came over.
The two of them looked over at the same time, and the noble woman with a paralyzed face was standing behind them with a cold face, looking everywhere, and everyone was busy dodging.
The cicada was a step behind and also came out of the crowd. She ran to Su Zi's side in small steps, glanced at Su Zi, and then let out a low cry and shouted, "Hey, so you exchanged clothes?" She felt that Su Zi looked really good in this body, as if she was not stained with fireworks, white and tender, delicate and soft, and her face was more delicate than the gentleman beside her.
As he spoke, the cicada blushed slightly and stepped forward a little more, tugging at Su Zi's gauze sleeves, and asked with a pitiful expression, "Why did you squeeze here?" You... Are you going to dance with her?"
"Of course not. Su Zi was about to speak, but Shurou rushed in front of her and said.
She leaned into the gap between the two, pulled Su Zi's sleeve back, and said fiercely: "We are planning to find a place to hide, my family is very powerful, and I don't want to choose a husband here without the consent of the patriarch grandfather." ”
"Huh?" Cicada didn't expect Shurou to say this, and she was surprised for a while, and she didn't know how to answer.
She asked that way, also considering that tonight everyone would choose their favorite gentleman and dance around her for one night. The beauty of the book is definitely highly sought after. At this time, Su stayed by her side to arouse jealousy, and she would feel uncomfortable in her heart, thinking that she would be good to accompany her. Who knew that Shurou had no plans to participate at all.
But the reason she said is also reasonable.
Cicada couldn't find a topic to continue for a while, but Si grinned and stepped forward: "Then let's go to a bar together?"
"I don't have time, I want to drink it yourself. Shurou didn't know them anyway, so she didn't intend to show mercy when she spoke: "I just want to be alone with Su, and you don't want to follow." ”
As she was talking, Shurou turned her head and saw a densely swaying human head in front of her. The lords did not give up, and still stood not far away, watching, and occasionally bouquets of flowers flew towards her. With a soft sigh with a headache, Shurou turned her head and said in a soft voice: "Why don't you send us to the alley first, wait with us for a while, and come to the restaurant to find us later?"
Si Zi smiled and agreed, bypassing them to clear the way ahead.
"I don't want to choose a husband, why do you want to come to Sucheng?" didn't take a few steps, and suddenly, a question came from behind him.
The tone of his voice was not high, and his tone was flat, but the eyes cast were a little obscure.
Shu Rou glanced at the Venerable Woman, and met her hazel pupils for a full four or five seconds before she stared at her, "What's the matter with you?"
As soon as the words blurted out, Shurou's mood became even worse. She paused abruptly, turned around and rushed two steps, stretched out her hand and pushed the woman fiercely: "Who are you, are you! Do I know you very well? Go away, who let you follow, nosy!"
"Hey, what is this doing?" Si was taken aback and quickly dissuaded.
Shurou pushed too hard this time, and the strength was too big, and the person didn't push it, but staggered back by himself. Su Zi stretched out her hand to support her, and whispered in surprise: "Shurou?"
She wondered in her heart, where did Shurou suddenly get such a big anger? Even if she wanted to get rid of them, it wouldn't be like this, it was a lord.
Looking at the woman again, she was so cultivated at this time, she only looked at Shurou lightly, and didn't say anything, she still looked like she was in a good place.
"What's wrong?" Su Zi turned around. Met her puzzled eyes, Shurou's lips squirmed twice, and she didn't spit out a word.
How can she explain it?
It is difficult to say that when she came here before, this woman lifted her up and sat on her shoulder, and the place under her animal skin skirt was empty, and that place was directly attached to the back of the woman's neck. And it's so good that she can't die, the most fragile deep mouth is against the adenogen body on the back of her neck, and she is deliberately released, and the pleromones that are so rich that they are full of aggression are numb, and the lumbar spine is so sore that she can't sit still-
And as soon as she struggled slightly, the hand that pressed her thigh increased force, forced her down, and even adjusted her sitting position several times, stuffing the adenogens into it......
Playing hooligan in broad daylight, but it is so hidden and shameless, that place is resisted, as if the lifeblood is pinched, only to turn into a puddle of water, not to mention that there are countless pairs of eyes watching, she can only force patience!
Shurou was speechless, and stomped around and left.
Seeing her hurried footsteps, Su Zi hurriedly followed. At this time, people were still throwing excitedly, flowers and hidden weapons were flying all over the sky, and when they heard people's uncontrollable excited shouts, Su Zilian asked Shurou a few times, but she didn't get an answer, so she couldn't help but look back towards the center of the square.
