Sure enough, the troupe came, there were fifty or sixty people, each carrying a red paper wrapped in a guy thing, there were flutes, silk strings, bamboo boards, three strings, clappers, pipa, etc., the red paper said "Xingqing class", "three classes", etc., wearing all kinds of drama clothes and walking from a distance, when they came, there were lights in front of them, and when they saw the appearance of the lamp, everyone was only dumbfounded.

The lantern seems to be usual, but there is a rotating glass ball on it, the size of a fist, which is crystal clear by the candlelight, and then looks carefully, it is actually carved with a big toad, and the lantern below is painted with a character is bangs, and the whole lamp is called "Liu Hai Toad" lamp.

"The lanterns in the city are so much more beautiful!" Fang Fang exclaimed.

This troupe walked all the way, the lights looked at each other, the golden drums smelled each other, the onlookers rubbed shoulders one after another, men and women jammed the way, and children also competed to chase each other, and came up to watch. The daughter's house in this troupe took out the glutinous rice candy to disperse, and now it was not only the children, but also the men and women who grabbed it, and there was a lot of noise for a while.

"I heard that this Xingqing class is going to sing the three most popular plays," Uncle Zhang also brought his grandchildren to watch, and said with a smile: "The dramas "Bo Jiao", "Jing Hai", and "Mu Lian" are very popular in the city!"

Uncle Zhang's little grandson broke free of his hand to pick up glutinous rice candy, Uncle Zhang was afraid that he would fall, so he followed, leaving Zhaodi and Yindi, Zhang Zhaohua naturally wanted to know what happened after they encountered a snake at home, so he dragged it out and asked.

"It was found under the back wall of the house," Zhao Di said with a smile: "I was startled, I was shoveled to death by my father!"

"It's not a heart disease now. Zhang Zhaohua couldn't help laughing.

"Naturally," Zhao Di said: "I also blew away the foot doctor, and I didn't eat the rest of the pills, I ate three bowls of soup cakes at noon, and I was scolded by my mother to go to the club!"

Zhang Zhaohua's father and the young adults in the village have gone to pick up the club, which is to pick up these Shehuo from the city, in addition to the high platform, stilts, dry boats, lion dance, dragon dance, Yangge and other juggling, it is said that there are many new additions, as well as fabrics and colored paper and other materials to make various shapes, such as rockeries, trees, animals, etc., and also dress up four or five-year-old boys and girls as characters in the story, fixed on a platform several feet high.

"The head of the meeting is coming—" Everyone got out of the way, and it turned out that the grain chief had come.

The chief of grain is the head of the society, and is the organizer and operator of the whole society, and the process of this meeting must be arranged more than a month ago, arranging the venue, raising funds, asking people to help the meeting, etc., in order to achieve tonight's social drama.

"Are the three animals ready?" asked the grain chief.

"It's ready," someone replied, "just waiting for the fire!"

"This year's golden boy is the little son of the county family!" The grain chief smiled: "Send out sugar, and each family will get a golden doll!"

Everyone cheered, looked to the east, all waiting for the social fire, and they were also a little worried about whether the social fire could be successfully picked up - because the social fire is not so easy to pick up, whenever the team of the competition travels, there will be people who compete, there will be people who block it, and it is necessary to set up difficulties to prevent the social fire from being picked up so easily, which is like a wedding, the bride's team has to block, and the groom's team has to break through the danger.

Sometimes there are also two branches of the fire that go to different villages, it is more interesting, and when they meet, they have to fight for strength, and the winning party goes first, which is called "fighting", which is often wonderful, and people can shout hoarse when they see it.

I don't know what difficulties I encountered in this year's "fight", until the time of Shen was almost exhausted, and when the time of Youshi was approaching, I faintly saw the lights like a dragon winding in.

"It's coming, it's coming!" The crowd erupted in cheers, and they all rushed over to help carry the sedan chair and carry things, the team of this fire was too large, there were fourteen or fifteen Youling with hideous square masks on their faces, and there were rowers in the back, and there were more than 20 people, all of whom were girls' families, and they were all tied around the girl's waist with two thin plates sawed into a boat-shaped set, which looked like a multi-legged centipede, and then waved the colored cloth on their hands, it looked more like.

Zhang Zhaohua pulled Yindi and rushed forward, but Yindi looked a little scared, she was frightened by Fang Xiang's mask, Zhang Zhaohua comforted her, but she was stepped on several times without paying attention, and the gap she just saw was also stood by others, so she couldn't get close to see it.

"Why are you three minutes late?" asked the grain chief with a smile.

"There are too many fights," the leader is a villager from Zhangchang, who is wiping his sweat and hissing: "At the beginning of the martial arts, we are not afraid, three times and two beats left, and then I met the text, let write poems, let couplets, we don't know big characters, asked people to stop for two quarters of an hour, only someone to help relieve the siege, and there are women behind who also came out to stop the sedan chair, saying that they want to worship the golden boy-"

"Finally I took it," the grain chief comforted, "I will give you a credit." ”

Saying that, the chief of grain said: "Lay the wine fruit, burn the ochre money, and prepare to open a society!"

In the midst of a cheer, the grain chief led the people to perform the sacrifice, and took an oath, saying: "All those who are with me should abide by the law of etiquette, and do not bully the weak. or poor and helpless, Zhou to his family, three years without standing, ten do not attend. If they do not conform to the crowd, or commit adultery or theft, or do anything wrong, they are not allowed to join the congregation. ”

All the people read the oath with the chief of the grain, and the elders and young were sorted in order, and the sacrificial meat was divided. After that, the grain chief personally took the colorful scarf and tied it to the hands of the land god and the land grandmother, and everyone cheered, carried the two gods and the shrine into the palanquin, and began the procession.

Pity the little son of the county order, a four-year-old child, because he wanted to pretend to be the "golden boy", carried from the city to Zhangchang, and could not come down for a few hours along the way, and was stuffed back into the sedan chair less than half an hour after he came down, because he had to be a "flower man", that is, he was carried in the pavilion, and was carried by the soap subordinate, and the county order had to follow him.

According to the general social drama, the dolls in the sedan chair are usually picked and can sing, and when the curtain is opened, they will sing bamboo branch words, but this little boy doesn't know anything, he is sleepy and asleep, and he can't help crying, and everyone takes him out and changes to a doll that has been prepared for a long time.

Zhang Zhaohua saw it clearly here, and couldn't help laughing, but Fangfang saw it, drilled over and pulled her forward, and said: "There is a trick of pulling the wire, it has become beautiful, you haven't seen it!"

They ran to the front in one breath, and saw the flying fork in front of the fire, the fork head was amazingly bright, the white flowers were like the first snow, and the iron pieces with rings were tied to it, and they danced brightly, and this kind of flying fork was not danced with hands, but with the back, legs, shoulders, or thrown in the air and caught with the toes.

followed by playing with flower beds, this Zhang Zhaohua had seen the same acrobatics in his previous life, that is, the actors used different sizes of porcelain pots and porcelain altars or something, with various movements, or with shoulders to roll, or with arms to flip, turning out various tricks for people to enjoy.

After that, there is also a good-looking one, it is a marionette, but the puppet is not big, they don't see it very clearly, it seems that the jugglers are also aware of this problem, and immediately put the torch down, but this is not good, because the person who controls the line behind repeatedly dodges the flame and burns his feet, so in the end it is not the puppet show that makes people laugh, but the person who controls the play behind.

Zhang Zhaohua watched here, but he didn't pay attention but was pushed by the crowd, and he didn't know who pushed the ground, it turned out that the middle flag behind had arrived, and everyone had to scramble to see, Zhang Zhaohua was trampled on his legs several times, and he didn't get up for a while, he was angry and anxious, but a pair of hands grabbed the back collar behind him, and lifted her up all of a sudden.

Zhang Zhaohua patted the dust off her body first, and then raised her eyes to look at the person who helped her just now. At first glance, this person is also a young man, but he looks like he is eighteen or nineteen years old, his eyebrows and eyes are sparse, and he stands there kindly, and at first glance he is a bookish person, not like he has a lot of strength in his hands.

But since Zhang Zhaohua saw her strength from her new sister-in-law, she didn't dare to underestimate the thin person. She clenched her small fists and smiled, "Thank you, brother." ”

"Senior Brother Yang, Senior Brother Yang, I finally found you!" a familiar voice came from far and near.
