Chapter 24: The Rain Descends on the Yiren
Under the threat of that mighty and domineering scarf, Ruan Wan felt that only two flowers were quite beautiful! It's a good fit! Great! It's over, there's no sense of disobedience at all!
At her insistence, Aunt Ma reluctantly put away the scarf, and with a "pity" expression on her face, Ruan Wan had a solid white sweat on her back.
Ruan Wan took the two lotus flowers, gestured a few times in front of the mirror from a distance, and honestly clamped them on her head. After a closer look, she found that it was not difficult to see the exaggeration in this way, at most it was just a little gaudy, and it was still within the acceptable range. Besides, you may not be able to dance on this day, and even if you do, it is estimated that few people will watch it, so you don't have to care.
After doing the psychological construction, Ruan Wan turned around and almost didn't squirt. Because she found that not everyone can escape the tragedy, for example, Song Ting, her hair quality is not very good, thick and hard, the ends of her hair are slightly yellow, and the volume is very much. Therefore, when it is scattered, it is quite like a novel character - gold, hair, lion, and king! Now combed into a double ponytail, plus she had just washed her hair yesterday, she was a beautiful little girl, and from a distance it looked like two mallets sticking out of her head.
She couldn't bear to look away, and decided to light a candle in her heart and quietly mourn her friend for three minutes.
Fortunately, Yu Qiaoqiao is not so tragic, her hair belongs to the extremely fine and soft type, although it always makes people feel too fine when combed, but ...... It didn't turn into a mallet anyway!
Ruan Wan thought that the tragedy had reached its peak by this point, but she forgot one thing - the clothes were gone, the headdress was gone, how could there be less makeup?!
Look, she was deciding to be a quiet beautiful woman, when Aunt Ma grabbed her shoulder.
Aunt Ma smiled kindly at Ruan Wan, who was a little stunned: "Don't move, I'll put on a beautiful makeup for you." β
Ruan Wan: "......" what? Hey???
She was about to say no, but a thick eyebrow pencil had already crossed her face, and she reluctantly lingered back and forth n times. Immediately afterwards, there is a puff that tastes a little choking. And then ...... Aunt Ma, who grabbed her, has risen from lv1 to lv99 in the process of constantly "putting flowers on the little girl", and now the movements in her hands are called a skill. Before Ruan Wan could react, she had already been transformed in a whole way. Then, Aunt Ma nodded very satisfied, grabbed Ruan Wan's shoulders complacently, and shouted prominently: "Look, what a beautiful little girl! β
In such a flash, Ruan Wan happened to face the mirror again.
At this moment, she would rather her eyes be blind!
First of all, she has to be sure that Aunt Ma is kind, but the style of Aunt Ma's makeup can be summed up in one sentence - thick eyebrows, red eggs, and a big mouth.
Ruan Wan looked at her two "angry" eyebrows, which were thicker than her index finger.
Ruan Wan looked at the two lumps of blush on her cheeks that she couldn't ignore no matter what.
Ruan Wan watched as she took her fiery red lips that were twice as thick.
Nguyen Wan......
Ruan Wan felt that she wanted to die a little, no one should stop her!
Actually, this is really not a spoof of Aunt Ma, but the style of makeup for children over the years. Ruan Wan remembers that she participated in the "recitation show" in elementary school for two lifetimes, and her makeup was ...... at that time Well, that's it. At that time, she was still young and ignorant, and she thought that this dress was beautiful, and she was reluctant to wash it off after the recitation, so she deliberately waited until she came home from school to show off to her grandmother. As a result, my grandmother, who was drinking water, was almost choked to death by her fright, so she grabbed her and washed it under the faucet.
She really didn't expect that she would be able to experience this kind of taste again in her lifetime.
"How?" Aunt Ma was very complacent.
The rest of the teachers who came to help affirmed this: "Yes, yes. β
"I think it's good, too." Aunt Ma took a few steps back, held her chin and studied it carefully for a moment, "But I always feel that something is missing." β
A teacher came up with an idea: "How about adding a beauty mole?" β
"Yes!" Aunt Ma's eyes lit up, and she picked up the lipstick and poked Ruan Wan's eyebrows.
Ruan Wan has given up resisting, well, life is like a strong [beep-], she is no longer able to resist, but she will not enjoy it at all. qaq
And to be honest, she's really the only one who feels wrong. If she hadn't been reborn and hadn't lived a few years later, she would probably be as excited as other little girls, after all, this is "makeup".
Compared with the little girls' love for beauty, adult women also have a desire to dress up, and the other teachers who came to help saw that Aunt Ma was too busy, and they also extended their "friendship hands". In the blink of an eye, the little girls were "tragically poisoned".
At this point, the preparation is complete.
Then, there is nothing to do waiting again. In these years, few adults have a mobile phone, let alone children. Naturally, it is impossible for the girls to hold the mobile phone one by one and bow their heads and read hard, so they sat together and chatted. Teachers can still drink melon seeds, but they can'tβlipstick on their lips!
That's two or three hours.
Seeing that the time is approaching evening, the rain shows no sign of stopping. The organizer gritted his teeth and waved his hand and said, "No matter, let's go!" "Because there is a rain cloth on the stage, there is not much water, but there is also no one to watch. Originally, I didn't have to jump, but the little girls have been preparing for so long, and they are specially dressed up beautifully, what a pity not to jump once. No one looks, they do!
Aunt Ma and the other teachers took out a few cameras out of nowhere, and first took a few pictures of the little girls "click-click" before instructing: "Jump well, we'll take pictures of you, and wash them out to share with you!" β
Originally, the little girls who were still a little listless came to their spirits instantly, and they had photos that they could take home to show their family, relatives and friends, which was great!
Look, it's so easy for children to be satisfied these days!
Although Ruan Wan said that she was sure that her grandmother would not like to see her now, she also felt this little excitement, and besides, after practicing for so long, isn't it just for today? Even if no one is watching, she has to complete her task, otherwise how can she be worthy of the efforts she has made for so long, such as the screams when stretching, the screams when stretching, the screams when stretching, and the groans when stretching...... Well, enough to leave her with a psychological shadow for the rest of her life.
In this way, the little girls appeared with their chests held high.
The platform is facing the direction where Lianhu Lake is located, and logically speaking, the two can look at each other from a distance. On a sunny day, pedestrians weaving back and forth would become a natural "barrier", and today, this barrier does not exist.
Ruan Wan, who was standing on the stage and was surrounded by little girls, didn't know that there was a painting boat floating on the lotus lake. Rainy days are indeed not suitable for playing, but this is only relatively speaking, if you take such a boat to visit Lotus Lake, rainy days are the best. Leaning against the window, with a hot tea in hand, listening to the rain dripping, looking down, there are small circles on the lake, and large circles around small circles...... Cycle after cycle, ripples continue.
If you smell the smell of the fish being cooked at this time, not to mention how beautiful it is. In most cases, wild fish are not as big as artificially farmed fish, but the umami is more sufficient, and they are cleaned when they are caught, smeared with salt inside and outside, stuffed with ginger slices in the abdomen, and steamed in a pot. It doesn't take too long, take out the ginger slices when out of the pot, sprinkle the green onion and ginger shreds on the steamed fish again, and then pour it with the preheated cooking oil, which is really a good product with both color and flavor. Even picky eaters can eat two more bowls with it.
At this moment, the people in the painting boat had just finished tasting a number of dishes, including this delicacy, and were drinking tea to remove the oil, when they suddenly looked up, and suddenly saw the scenery in the distance.
"That's ...... Someone dancing? β
"Didn't I tell you yesterday? What kind of competition is going on near Lianhu. It was quite hard to jump out in such a heavy rain. β
"......," the young man who asked first asked, "what are they holding in their hands?" β
"Oh, that's a lotus lantern."
"Lotus lantern?"
"That's right, the legend of Lianniang."
It is said that on the day of her death the following year when Lian Niang died by jumping into the water, her sisters placed ninety-nine lotus lanterns in the lake with their own hands and prayed for her to rest in peace. It was night, the stars were vast, reflecting in the water, and nearly a hundred lights were floating on the white lake. For a while, it was beautiful, and passers-by stopped to watch.
Suddenly there were clouds, and the starlight was more than hidden.
On the dim surface of the lake, the lotus lanterns are getting brighter and brighter.
They slowly drifted towards the real lotus bushes.
The visitor was amazed, and suddenly saw a familiar white figure appear in the flowers......
I sing and wander, and I dance in a mess.
That's how it should have been - at least in the legends.
The boy on the boat watched the dance from a distance, to be honest, it was quite shoddy, and at a glance he knew that it was the product of urgent rehearsals, and there was not much objectivity. It's just that...... His gaze gradually rested on the girl in the center. If the other girls are playing lotus leaves, then she should be "Lotus Niang", right? I saw her figure deftly shuttling among them, the corners of her white clothes swinging up, and between raising her hands, her long sleeves slipped off, revealing a white-skinned and delicate arm. Even from such a distance, it shines like fine porcelain.
As she danced, the small circle of lotus flowers on her skirt trembled gently, as if she had come to life.
And she is really dancing on the surface of the lake where the lotus flowers bloom.
"Lian Niang......" the young man murmured, feeling as if he had seen her somewhere, but he was clearly not the slightest impression.
But before he could come up with a reason, the brief dance was over.
The booth was empty.
Only the sound of rain remained.
and a lotus hairpin that fell to the ground by someone who didn't know who.
