Chapter 297: Red Line
Tianli rubbed his eyes that had just been a little sleepy, and stood up from the ground. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info then walked around the shabby-looking stables and looked towards the place where the firecrackers were set off.
It was a clearing in the middle of the street, not very large, but surrounded by people.
Tianli was a little curious and wanted to go over and see what was going on. But I'm afraid that others will be frightened by his demonic appearance.
At this time, Tianli suddenly noticed that there was a wooden barrel on one side of the stable. There was also half a bucket of water in the barrel, which was supposed to be used to feed the horses.
With a hint of nervousness on his face, Tianli looked at the water in the barrel. The water reflected a bright moon, and a few strands of hair on his forehead.
Tianli didn't dare to move his face again, he was afraid of seeing a face that he didn't even recognize. However, after hesitating for a moment, Tianli still made up his mind.
Tianli closed his eyes tightly and poked his head into the water, but he didn't dare to open his eyes immediately.
Tianli's breathing became a little short, and he knew that it had been a long time before it slowly calmed down.
Tianli slowly opened his eyes, and the expression on his face immediately became surprised.
His appearance was the same as before, without any change. There are no blood-red eyes, and the endless demonic energy between the eyebrows.
Tianli hurriedly looked at his hand, and found that after even the sharp nails disappeared, Tianli's heart was finally no longer as nervous as before.
Tianli tidied up his clothes and walked out of the alley.
The open space in the middle of the street was already crowded with three floors inside and three stories outside. Tianli looked at the streets with some surprise, even the vendors who set up stalls. Ignoring the goods on the stall, he ran to the outermost part of the crowd to watch with an excited face.
"These people are not afraid that what they sell will be stolen?"
Tianli whispered a few words, and couldn't help but be curious that he also surrounded him.
But seeing the densely packed people, Tianli had to smile helplessly. He stood at the outermost of the crowd, in his position. Not to mention seeing what was inside, he couldn't even hear what the people inside were saying.
It was only vaguely revealed that it was an old man who was talking inside, and from the discussions of the people around him, he roughly guessed that the old man who spoke was the village chief of this Shanquan Village.
Just as he wanted to, ask a young man beside him who looked a little handsome, what was going on.
Suddenly, in the center of the crowd, there was another burst of firecrackers, followed by a burst of brilliant fireworks.
Tianli quickly covered his ears with the sound of firecrackers, but he still felt a pain in his ears. The village elder in the middle of the crowd somehow became excited when he spoke.
Just now, I couldn't hear a word clearly when I was close to my ears, but now, in the sound of firecrackers, I could hear it clearly.
But it's just two words.
Start
Tianli listened to the somewhat old voice, almost shouting these two words. I couldn't help but be a little worried, whether the village chief would suddenly fall down after saying these two words.
With the sound of fireworks and firecrackers, two words began to blurt out.
Everyone at the scene was almost a little boiling, and they crowded into the clearing.
Tianli stood a little dumbfounded, and now he couldn't figure out the situation. But he didn't care, after all, he was just a fungiver.
Tianli looked up at the night sky, and the fireworks kept blooming. I secretly feel sorry for these fireworks, such beautiful fireworks, no one is willing to stop and admire.
The fireworks gradually burned out, Tianli lowered his head and looked around again, and couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
There was still a crowd of people around him just now, but now there is not half a figure left.
But those people are gone, and Tianli finally sees clearly, the open space that has just been filled with people inside and out.
I saw that there were many large and small trees in the clearing, and those trees were full of colorful lanterns.
However, the lanterns looked a little strange, and they were all frames with only one or two thin pieces of bamboo. There was a light breeze blowing around, and the lanterns didn't seem to shelter from the wind, and the candles inside kept swaying with the wind.
In addition, the candles inside are much brighter than ordinary lanterns, and it looks like they are about to be lit at any time.
Those who were still around Tianli just now are now looking around under those lanterns, as if they are looking for something.
Tianli walked over with some curiosity, and when he got closer to Tianli, he found that there were actually people around him. There were men and women, and even Tianli saw a pair of old men and old ladies who were over the age of six.
Tianli wiped the sweat from his forehead, he really couldn't understand what the old man and old lady were doing here.
Just as Tianli was about to leave, the old lady suddenly squatted down under a tree. Hands were digging at the base of the tree, as if looking for something.
When Tianli was about to go up and ask the old lady if she needed help, the old lady seemed to have found something and was excited.
The old man on the side saw the excitement on the old lady's face, and his face showed the same excitement. It's just that the excitement is coming.
Tianli opened his mouth slightly, he thought he was looking at the flowers. The old man was no slower than the young people around him.
It wasn't until long after the old man had left that the old lady stood up, only to see an extra red thread in her hand.
Tianli suddenly realized that there is a custom in the folk of the Qixi Festival, that is, to draw the red line.
This is also what he heard from other senior brothers, he has never left Shushan since he was a child, so naturally he has never seen it.
Tianli turned to look at the men and women around him. Sure enough, most of those men and women had a red thread in their hands.
And those who did not have a red thread in their hands were like the old lady before, rummaging around.
"This brother, please let go, let go"
Tianli suddenly heard someone behind him who seemed to be calling him, and when he looked back, it was a somewhat familiar figure, it was the handsome young man he wanted to ask.
At that time, because he only saw the side face, Tianli didn't see the young man's face clearly. Looking at it now, it was almost the same as he had imagined.
is dressed as a scholar, but his demeanor doesn't look like a scholar. It's like the little young master who secretly ran out to play in the big family's house.
Of course, whether this young man is a poor scholar or a rich young master, this has nothing to do with nature.
Tianli glanced at it, then dodged away. It wasn't the boy who was looking at him, but the red thread in the boy's hand.
At this moment, two more people ran out of the crowd. Dressed in standard linen cloth shoes, he knew at a glance that he was the house slave of that big family.
"Young master, young master, the master told you to go back"
The two house slaves ran to the side of the scholar dressed as a young man, thinking that the little young master and some house slaves usually had a good relationship, and those house slaves spoke a little casually to the little young master.
"Wait, wait. It's a red line that I managed to find."
The little young master was a little dissatisfied, and glared at the two house slaves.
