Chapter 131
Although the members of the green team are uneven in strength, they are all villagers in Okutamagawa Town.
Usually everyone knows each other well, has been together for decades, and at the critical moment, they become a group and condense into a greater force.
The people of the black team are all invited from various places, although they have an advantage in strength, but the people are not in harmony, and the things that require collective cohesion such as carrying the portable shrine are a little inadequate.
Seeing that they couldn't get any bargains, the black team had already begun to lose heart.
Taking advantage of this time, the green team actually defended the siege and rushed forward.
Although this time was not fast, and the strength was not particularly large, it did greatly dampen the black team.
The leader of the black team shouted at the top of his voice, retreat and retreat!
When the big men in the team heard the retreat, they were also relieved, and they didn't want to fight for a long time, so they left quickly.
Although this was not a victory, the crowd still cheered, and Ying Ying jumped up and down, happy from the bottom of her heart.
This time, the Black Feather Shrine didn't succeed.
****
After the portable shrine meeting, the sky gradually darkened.
Satoko and Shanyou said that they were tired, so they went home to rest first, and asked Yamahiko to accompany Yingying for a good stroll.
Ying Ying came to this kind of activity for the first time, and she was very touched and fresh, and she was not tired at all.
At this time, the temporary daiya street, the home of the Kashima Festival, is already lit with lanterns, and the shops are enthusiastically attracting people to participate in the atmosphere with their favorite goods, snacks, and games.
After repelling the Black Feather Shrine, Ying Ying was in a very good mood, and her appetite came up after being tired for a while, smelling the bursts of fragrance emitted by the various stalls, her saliva flowed, and she couldn't help but want to taste everything she saw.
Shan Yan walked with Yingying on this beautiful street, and from time to time introduced her to which things were delicious and which ones she ate most often when she was a child.
After a while, Ying Ying had already tasted a box of fried noodles, a box of octopus balls, and a taiyaki.
As she ate, she looked around and saw that some people in special costumes were also walking around the street, looking left and right from time to time.
Some are in groups of threes and twos, and some are alone.
She couldn't help but be curious, and asked Yamahiko what these people do.
Yamahiko told her that every year at the Kashima Festival, there is a selection of kimono "kings and queens" at the end.
Judges are usually appointed by some of the chief executives of the town, as well as the priests of each shrine.
They are now walking around, and when they see the right person they like, they write it down in their notebooks, and they will vote in unison at the end.
"It would be nice if Yingying got the title of kimono queen. Yamahiko looked at her thoughtfully and spoke.
Ying Ying only "oh" for a moment, and didn't take this matter to heart.
After all, there are good things to eat and play, and she is already very satisfied.
She saw a large number of children and adults gathered in front of a small shop, so she pulled Yamahiko and walked towards that place.
When I got closer, I saw that there were several large basins in front of the store, which were filled with water, and many children were fishing for something with small nets around the basins.
Their little faces were serious and serious, as if they were searching for treasures.
Yamahiko smiled: "When I was a child, I loved to play this game and catch goldfish. Do you want to try it?"
Ying Ying looked into the basin, and sure enough, it was a red goldfish, swimming arrogantly in the basin, nimbly avoiding the small nets stretched out towards them.
Shan Yan saw Yingying's face full of joy, so he walked to the boss and paid for ten small nets.
He handed Ying Ying a net, Ying Ying took it with a smile, and immediately squatted down to join the children's fishing ranks.
Yingying caught a fat goldfish with black spots on its head.
She hurriedly lifted the small net upward, but as soon as the net reached the air, she heard a "snap", and the fat goldfish leaked out of the net and fell back into the basin.
Ying Ying looked at the small net strangely, and actually broke a hole the size of a fish's body, and couldn't help but look at Yamahiko with a surprised face.
Yamahiko laughed, "Oh, so you haven't played goldfishing." This net is made of rice paper, which melts easily when encountering water. So, it's not so easy to catch goldfish. ”
I see...... Ying Ying also thought it was funny.
The rice paper is so soft, it is rare to be able to bear the weight of a goldfish, and if you have to put it in the water to fish, it will definitely break.
Although it was almost impossible to catch goldfish, the children were still so serious about fishing, and Ying Ying looked at Shan Yan and smiled.
Even though you know that you can't get it, the process of playing is still fun.
Ying Ying asked for a small net from Shan Yan again, rolled up her sleeves, and fished it up with all her heart.
This time, she picked a smaller goldfish and slowly lifted it out of the water.
The little goldfish struggled and jumped twice in the small net, and it seemed that it was about to successfully fish out of the pot, but with a "snap", the small net broke again, and the little fish escaped from the net again.
It seems that it is really difficult, Ying Ying sighed, and listened to Yamahiko say, "Let's compete, see who can catch it." ”
As soon as she said this, she was playful, and the two of them immediately compared each other in full swing.
Yamahiko has been playing this game since he was a child, and his skills are very good, and he will catch one after a while.
Yingying was anxious, but the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't get it, she looked at Yamahiko, and began to poke Yamahiko's net with her own net.
Seeing Ying Ying like this, Shan Yan hurriedly avoided it, but the rice paper net also melted in the water and broke.
Later, Yamahiko didn't care about catching goldfish, dipped in the water in the goldfish basin, gently flicked at Yingying, and played with her.
Ying Ying hurriedly didn't turn her head to dodge, picked up the wet and broken net, and poked it at Yamahiko.
Yamahiko was forced to jump up quickly by Yingying's move, and both of them jumped up, chasing each other and running at each other.
Passers-by looked at this pair of young boys and girls dressed in exquisite kimonos and looking amazing, chasing jokes like children, and some couldn't help but stop and watch.
After playing for a while, Yamahiko and Yingying put the goldfish into the river next to the shopping street.
"Brother Goldfish, I wish you freedom and freedom in the wider world. Ying Ying read silently.
At this time, the cool wind of the night blows, and the reflection of the moon on the river surface is blown away, turning into specks of light.
Ying Ying looked at Yamahiko, his tall body, handsome face, and his eyes seemed to be particularly gentle at this time.
Yamahiko smiled and looked back at Yingying, who met his gaze, and for a moment felt as if he was being swept by electricity.
His gaze was pure, full of sun-like vitality and warmth.
Ying Ying felt a little short of breath, her heartbeat quickened a lot, and her face couldn't help but blush.
Yamahiko smiled at her, "The goldfish is finished, let's go shoot the rabbit." ”
"Shoot a rabbit?" Ying Ying was puzzled.
"Let's go, you'll know when you go. Yamahiko gently took Yingying's hand and led her towards the commercial street.
Aso wore a kimono yukata with a purple-pink hydrangea pattern and held a delicate bag as he walked proudly down the shopping street.
