Chapter 25 Hidden Dangers
Walking forward, I met a monkey player, full of children inside and out. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dugu Shaotang hurriedly picked up his daughter from the horse to take a look, but Dugu Weiwei turned his face disdainfully, but pointed to the fortune-telling stall next to the road with great interest.
How can there be a child who doesn't like to watch monkey shows but likes to watch fortune telling? Dugu Shaotang sighed, his daughter is a freak!
When the fortune teller saw someone coming, he was even more spittle, and the mystical numerology flickered down, and he heard that people were covered in fog and fog, and he didn't know what to do.
At the end, he said to the fortune teller next to him: "Your Excellency will be entangled in lawsuits recently, and I am afraid that you will be imprisoned." ”
The young man's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he grabbed the arm of the fortune teller, and said hurriedly: "Please also ask the gentleman to save me, and the great favor will be rewarded." ”
The fortune teller's arm hurt him, and he hurriedly agreed: "Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and when the old decay is with you, stick it on the head of the bed for 7749 days, and you can eliminate disasters and solve misfortunes." ”
The young man hurriedly thanked him, and took out a dime of silver from his purse, which looked like a tael or two.
The fortune teller was taking out a piece of talisman paper with zigzag lines from the box, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the silver horn given by the young man, and his eyes could not help but shine.
casually took a talisman in the box and said, "That's it, a good person will do it to the end, and this wishful luck talisman will also be given to you, which can be regarded as accumulating a good fate." ”
The young man was gone, thankfully.
Seeing that the fortune teller was stunned for a moment, Dugu Weiwei couldn't help but sneer.
The fortune teller sent the young man away, looked at the father and daughter standing on the side, and opened his mouth to say: "Miss Guan's face is like a full moon, her eyes are like stars, and she will definitely ...... in the future."
The fortune teller habitually talked nonsense in order to solicit business, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he hurriedly stopped, nodded and apologized: "Don't blame the guest, the villain eats with a mouth, eats with a mouth, doesn't blame, doesn't blame ......"
Those of them who have been in the rivers and lakes all year round are the best at observing words and feelings. The person in front of him, with a straight waist and a loose posture, although he is dressed as usual, he can't hide his compelling momentum. It's not something that a small person can fool.
Dugu Weiwei was amused by his funny appearance and giggled again, turned around and took his father's hand and continued to walk forward.
Dugu Shaotang lowered his head and asked her: "What funny did you see just now, look at the one who gave us to Weiweile." ”
Dugu Weiwei raised his little face, "I just think what the fortune teller said is so false, that person is even serious." ”
"Oh, what's the fake?" Dugu Shaotang deliberately tried to test his daughter.
"If the rune paper works, everyone can do whatever they want, anyway, if they make a mistake, just paste the rune paper. ”
Dugu Shaotang's eyebrows were raised high, and he praised with his mouth up: "It's still my good baby who is smart, so adults don't understand it before my family Weiwei can see it." ”
Dugu Weiwei was praised by her father, and said proudly: "That person was wearing a pair of old cloth shoes on his feet, and the edges were worn out, but the clothes on his body were made of brocade, and they were wide and ill-fitting, as if he was wearing someone else's." And when he looks at people, his eyes are always on people's purses and cuffs, which can put money. A thief, a stupid thief!"
Dugu Shaotang was shocked by his daughter's insight, not to mention Du Yan and Sanqing.
Du Yan smiled and nodded: "It's really Miss right, that's a stupid thief, wearing stolen clothes on his body in a big way, not rushing to let the people from the yamen come to arrest him? ”
Du Yan, the ancestor of the thief, shook his head, he was so stupid that he dared to come out and be embarrassed, he really wanted to be caught and taught well.
In front of you, you will be on the edge of the Ben River.
In the Benhe River, thousands of sails are racing, and hundreds of boats are competing for the current. Some swayed down the river, and some were pulled upstream.
The slender men on the shore are shirtless in the autumn, their faces and upper bodies are tanned, their feet are pedaling straw sandals, and they are sweaty and hunched forward.
When encountering difficulties, they even arched their bodies into a prawn, using their hands and feet together, shouting trumpets in unison, and it seemed that every step forward consumed their physical strength.
Among them, there are many elders with frosty white temples, and their faces are engraved with the lines of time. There is also no shortage of thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenagers who have been bent over prematurely by the burden of life. There was also a woman who was also topless and breastless.
It's not that she is shameless and immoral, but in the face of survival, no face, honor or disgrace, or dignity is worth mentioning. In order for the family to survive, there is nothing that cannot be left behind.
Although Dugu Weiwei didn't understand this, it didn't prevent her from feeling uncomfortable in her heart, and murmured: "It's so pitiful." ”
Although the voice was small, Dugu Shaotang still heard it. He squatted down, put his arms around his daughter's small shoulders, and whispered, "They are still good, and they can support their families on their own." There are still many people who cannot afford to feed their children and have to sell them. There are also some elderly people who are not in good health and can't work anymore, so in order to save food for their families, they find a place where no one is and quietly wait for death. ”
Dugu Weiwei's eyes widened, and he looked at his father with some shock.
It turned out that there was so much sorrow and hardship hidden under the splendid wealth that I originally thought was beautiful.
Dugu Shaotang touched her face soothingly, and said, "This is not something Wei Wei should worry about, even my father has no ability to change anything." In the future, only when Dawei is rich and strong, people will be able to live a good life, do you understand?"
Dugu Shaotang may not know how to establish a child's outlook on life, morality, and worldview. But he understands that he can't let his children grow up under his wings to become fools who don't know the hardships of the world and "why not eat minced meat".
Dugu Weiwei nodded, "Well, I understand." ”
She is just an ignorant child, although she lives in her heart with a thousand-year-old monster and gives her some unbelievable things from time to time, but after all, she is still young, and she can only go with the flow, and she has no ability to change anything.
Dugu Shaotang saw that she was a little depressed after all, and deliberately said in a brisk tone: "It's almost noon, are you hungry? Let's go to dinner? There are a lot of delicious things on Benhe Street, there are golden milk su, crystal dragon and phoenix cake, scallion vinegar chicken, flower stuffed donkey steamed ...... Wei Wei wants to eat like that? Daddy will buy it for you. ”
Dugu Weiwei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately forgot about the depression just now, grabbed Dugu Shaotang's hand, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, okay, let's go quickly." ”
Dugu Shaotang looked at this little person whose emotions came and went quickly, shook his head and smiled. I was afraid that she would be tired from walking, so I picked her up and put her on the horse. There were too many people to ride the horse, so he took the reins and walked back slowly.
There is a thriving scene in front of all eyes, and the slaughter of early winter has not reduced the excitement by half. At the beginning of a dynasty, it will inevitably go through some difficulties, and then it will usher in its heyday, and people's lives will surely get better and better.
In the autumn breeze, there was a sudden burst of music drifting in the wind, and several people followed the music to look, only to see that in the willow forest on the right, there was a group of people in a circle in a clearing, playing various musical instruments, and there were two people dancing in a circle.
Dugu Weiwei became curious, and immediately pointed in that direction and shouted, "Daddy, wait, let's go and see." ”
A group of four people walked closer, and some people came to watch when they heard the music.
The musicians sat on the floor with cushions under them. Among them were men and women, some of whom wore round-necked robes, some of whom wore narrow-sleeved robes, and wore beards on their heads.
Some of the women have upper and lower skirts, covering half of their arms, and long shawls are placed in the crooks of their arms. There were also two dressed in tunic dresses, with their breasts half exposed, and their wide-sleeved tulle coats draped over them. The gauze was as thin as a cicada's wings, and the plump skin was faintly visible outside.
Dugu Weiwei looked at them and panicked.
There are also women who wear men's clothes, but they don't wear a hat, and only use jade rings to tie their hair on the top.
There are those who hold the pipa obliquely, those who hold the reed sheng in their hands, those who play the jade flute horizontally, those who straddle the waist drum, and those who clapped their hands with their free hands and clapped their hands together with the beat.
The dancers in the circle are a man and a woman, all in their teens and twenties. The man was dressed in a narrow-sleeved bearded suit, with long boots on his feet, sometimes bending his knees and stretching his arms, and sometimes throwing his hips sideways.
The woman wears a narrow red shirt on the top and a wide skirt of the same color on the bottom, dancing opposite the man.
As the rhythm of the music gradually accelerated, the women's dancing began to gradually increase from the soothing willow waist swing.
The man keeps his left foot in place in the middle, his right foot rotates around the center of the circle with his left foot, and the woman dances around the man.
The rhythm of the drum became more and more urgent, and the woman's shawl spun away, wrapping around the woman's body, sometimes up and down, sometimes left and sometimes right, and the woman's face gradually became unclear under the fluttering rotation of the shawl.
The wide red dress was spun so that it was fully open, like a blooming flower, fluttering down rapidly from above the nine heavens.
The fallen leaves on the ground were swept up by the wind and swirled around the skirt, forming a slow-turning circle on the ground in a short time.
Dugu Weiwei's face turned red with excitement, and he raised his head and asked, "Is this Hu Xuanwu?"
Dugu Shaotang responded, and said with some pride: "Your mother danced better than her when she was young." ”
"Huh, really?" Dugu Weiwei said in surprise with his eyes open.
Dugu Shaotang rubbed her hair funny, "What's so surprising about this, the aristocratic men and women in the capital will dance all kinds of dances, what Hu Xuan dance, Ling Bo dance, Jinghong dance, green waist dance and so on." ”
"Can Daddy dance?" asked Dugu Weiwei.
Dugu Shaotang looked at her condescendingly, with an unfathomable expression: "That's nature." ”
Dugu Weiwei's eyes lit up, "Daddy taught me." ”
Dugu Shaotang nodded: "Go back and let your mother teach you."
At this time, the dance in the middle of the field was over, and when the drum beat was almost to the extreme, the man suddenly stopped, grabbed the woman's waist, stretched out one arm and spun it several times, and stopped abruptly with the music.
There was a thunderous cheer all around.
Dugu Shaotang took her little hand and walked back, out of the forest, and blended into the bustling crowd.
A thin man in his thirties in the flow of people casually looked over here, and when his eyes swept over the makeup knife attached to Dugu Weiwei's waist, the expression on his face changed suddenly, and then he looked away as if nothing happened.
Dugu Weiwei wore a smoky purple skirt today, and her waist was adorned with the same iron and clay makeup knife, with a golden color, embellished with the same color, and the purple skirt was very eye-catching.
"Do we Dawei people love to dance?" Dugu Weiwei didn't notice it, and his mind was still on dancing.
"Not only the Great Wei, but also the surrounding Nanzhao people, Hui people, and Tubo people are better at singing and dancing than our Great Wei people. ”
"In addition to the Hu Xuan Dance, what kind of dance do we Dawei people love to dance?"
"This is a lot, when the ceremony is held, dance the exorcism dance, the Wu dance, the sword dance in the army, the Wei King breaking the formation dance, the Lanling King into the formation, the Kyoto Chang'an Fashion Dance, the Green Waist Dance. ”
Dugu Shaotang bent down and said to Dugu Weiwei: "It's windy, don't speak, pour a mouth of cold wind carefully, and when you turn around, your father will take you to see it." ”
Dugu Weiwei turned around and smiled: "Okay, okay, daddy is a good talker, don't forget." ”
"Well, I won't forget!"
There were fewer people, and the father and daughter got on the horse and set out on the way home.
Du Yan rode a horse and followed behind the two, walked for a while and suddenly looked back, some of the people behind him were carrying burdens, some were carrying sedan chairs, some were leisurely, and some were hurrying. Everyone went their own way, and there was no abnormality.
After walking out for a while, there were fewer and fewer people, and Du Yan turned back suddenly, and the crowd was still the same.
It wasn't until a few people stiffened and urged the horse to speed up that the feeling of being stared at and stabbing on the back disappeared.
Although Du Yan didn't find anyone who was watching, his years of experience in the rivers and lakes told him that someone was secretly observing them just now.
But this is just his experience, similar to telepathy, there is no evidence, and he doesn't make a fuss and tell his master, but he is more and more cautious.
