Chapter 121: Touring
In the evening, the witch dance of Byrensburg begins at the east gate. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The route of the tour was drawn up by Ling Yu, and the tour team started from the east gate, circled the castle, entered the castle through the east gate, toured the castle for a week, and finally left at the west gate.
Although Maier knew a lot about the Ira Festival, this was the first time he had participated in person. All the shrine maidens, including Lingyu, participated in the tour, forming a tour team of hundreds of people.
Ira's shrine maidens are on tour without accompaniment or with the aid of any props, and the only ornament is the shrine maiden costumes worn on them. Generally speaking, the tour starts with a "circle". Hundreds of shrine maidens lined up in a neat square line, turning in a circle, and the skirts that fluttered up were just round.
The shrine maidens walked forward in a circle, and in the process of moving in a circle, everyone had to go in one direction, no one could go astray or fall, and the speed of the circle must be the same. When you turn in a circle, you have completed a circle. Counting the lap in place, the shrine maidens had to turn a total of seven laps before they could start the official tour.
At the end of the circle, the shrine maidens adjust their formation and perform the dance of the shrine to which they belong, which the Ira people call the "shrine maiden dance". The shrine maiden dance is all about coordination, and the shrine maidens of different professions rely on different colors of skirts to form different patterns, and move forward and dance while changing the formation.
If the Great Shrine Maiden and the Long Shrine Maiden participate in the tour, then they will definitely be at the forefront. The Great Witch will dance to her heart's content in the company of the Elder Witch, and use her body language to show the goodness in her heart.
When the shrine maiden dance is over, the people can follow the shrine maiden team for a parade dance. At this time, the tour has become very free, and you can dance as much as you want. But generally speaking, the shrine maidens will still stay in formation and continue to dance the shrine maiden dance or a pre-choreographed dance, and the first to appear behind the shrine maiden must be prepared for the celebration, and the people who have already choreographed the dance will have to follow the people who have not choreographed the dance.
The tour is singing and dancing at the same time. At the end of the circle, the shrine maidens will start dancing to the song. The shrine maiden dance is usually performed to the accompaniment of hymns, while other dances can be performed to the accompaniment of folk songs. Different teams sing different songs, so the dancers have to keep up with their own team, and if they sing the wrong song or dance the wrong step, it will be embarrassing.
The people at the back are freer, they can sing whatever they want, they can shout a few words of greeting, or advertise their own shop, even if they take the opportunity to confess loudly to whom. So generally speaking, the interesting stories in the tour basically appear in the back team.
Of course, not everyone will follow the touring band. A considerable number of people choose to watch from both sides of the procession, either to enjoy the beautiful dance of the shrine maidens, to support their relatives and friends participating in the tour, or simply to watch the excitement.
Out of a population of 6,000 in Byronsburg, about 2,000 took part in the tour. In addition to the shrine maidens, the unmarried girls of the Yu family formed a three-hundred-person dance touring team, the trainee witches formed a four-hundred-person dance touring team, and the rest of them all wanted to dance casually behind, most of them were Meier's subordinates.
Since the men of Byronsburg are foreigners in addition to the old and the young, the warriors are foreigners, so the men on this tour tacitly chose to watch. Because of this, the girls who participated in the tour danced very hard. Especially the unmarried girls of the Yu family, except for Meier's subordinates, they are the most unrestrained and charming in their dancing, so they almost put the label of "let you pick" on the door of their heads.
Maier, who stood on the city wall with the leadership and watched the parade, after seeing the dancing of the girls, made him feel a little bigger, in addition to admiration.
The girls of the Yu family dance so hard to get married...... In other words, my subordinates actually want to find a man to marry? There is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking, but there are so many men in Byronsburg, and most of them are monogamous Tayon...... Well...... It's not easy to do, it's hard to do.
At this moment, Mel noticed that someone was tugging at the corner of his clothes, and he turned his head to see that Xiaoxiao was winking at him.
Is this for me to go with her?
Maier looked at Yishan and Euris who were standing beside him, and shook his head with a bitter face.
But what Meier didn't expect was that Xiaoxiao actually shook his head. She quietly pointed at Yishan and Euris in a left-to-right gesture, then gave two thumbs up to Maier.
I was asked to hold them!!
Meier's stunned expression made Xiaoxiao laugh, and Yanhe on the side inadvertently caught a glimpse of the interaction between the two and laughed directly.
"Poofha
Yan He's laughter immediately attracted everyone's attention, and after sensing Nami Jushi's blaming gaze, Yan He quickly covered his mouth and explained in a muffled voice.
"It's really nice to be on tour! I laughed out loud! β
Good looking and laughing?
Everyone exchanged glances suspiciously, because Yan He was a little out of tune when she spoke and did things on weekdays, so everyone didn't take her words to heart.
This little episode causes Mel to forget about Xiaoxiao's suggestion for a while, but Euris takes Mel's arm instead. Yishan, who had been wary of Euris's hand, saw this scene and immediately showed a bitter and hateful expression.
Ah, Yishan is jealous.
When Euris grabbed her arm, Maier subconsciously looked at Yishan. He felt that the contradiction between Yishan and Euris might get deeper and deeper if it continued like this, and in order to avoid this situation, he could only follow Xiaoxiao's suggestion, summon all the courage to raise his hands, and wrap his arms around Yishan and Euris respectively.
For Yishan and Euris, this is definitely a historic moment. The sense of happiness spread rapidly from the slender waist to the whole body, and the hearts of both were almost melted by Mel's body temperature. At this moment, they no longer care about being jealous, they just want to rest their heads on Myer's shoulders and let time stand still forever.
He finally sensed my intentions......
A teardrop slipped from the corner of Yishan's eye, this is a tear of happiness.
He finally took the initiative to hug me......
Euris closed her eyes and a happy smile on her lips.
The smile that had planned all this pursed his lips sourly, thinking that he must crawl down the secret passage to Myer's bedroom at night, so that he could make mental amends.
At the same time, Maier, who is hugging left and right, is worried about reconciling the relationship between Yishan and Urris.
They still haven't noticed that I'm hugging two people at the same time...... When they realize this, the conflict is likely to escalate, so what should I do?
Say to them directly, I'm going to marry you all home?
No, no, the contradiction between the two is there, and saying this kind of thing is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
Then say to them first, I love you......
Uh, what's the difference between that and what you just did? Isn't it all about stimulating competition?
Why don't you let the two of them negotiate on their own, and I'll do what they say when the result is reached?
Anyway, am I really thinking about getting married?
Maier shook her head slightly, his distressed expression was captured by Yan He again, but this time she learned to be obedient, covering her mouth in advance and not laughing out loud.
The three birds stood behind Xiaoxiao, and Kiki and Xiaoye supported the birds that couldn't move. This is what Mel meant, before the tour begins, Xiaoye secretly comes to Maier to intercede, wanting to carry the bird on his back to participate in the celebration. Maier felt that it was too pitiful to leave the bird alone at home for a rare celebration, so he agreed to Xiaoye's request.
Although Xiaoye can carry the bird on his back all the time, Maier still asks Kiki to help. The job of "carrying" the birds is not difficult for them, but if they are asked to watch in the crowd, the birds may pass out due to the crowd. So Xiaoye begged Maier again, wanting to take the bird to the city wall to watch the tour, and Maier agreed to her request again.
"The master is so easy to talk to." "For the first time," said the bird, who stood on the rampart and craned his neck to watch the dance, "I felt that being loyal to my master was the right thing I had ever done in my life. β
Birdie's last sentence made Kiki very happy, so she selectively ignored the previous faux pas.
"Hmph, the gentleness of the master, you have only seen less than one ten-thousandth."
"The host is really gentle......"
Xiao Ye's heart suddenly beat wildly a few times, and two blushes floated on his face.
As important guests of Byronsburg, the brothers and sisters of the Heyan family also watched the parade on the city wall. The two of them could have stood beside Meier, but because He Yan Zhiheng was very afraid of the witch, even to the point of not daring to watch the witch dance, he chose a very backward position, standing right next to the three maids. He Yan Xinye has been following her brother all the time, so she is also standing here.
"Brother Mel is really nice."
Because he was standing very close to the three maids, he and Yan Zhiheng could clearly hear their conversation, so he interjected in passing, and then changed the topic without warning.
"Are your injuries alright?"
Of the people present, only Bird was injured, so she tilted her head in confusion and asked in an uncertain tone.
"Are you talking to me?"
"Hmm." He Yan Zhiheng nodded, "I heard Brother Maier say that you were burned, do you still hurt now?" β
"Ah...... Hahaha...... That's right, it was burned while working...... Right now...... As you can see, it is not yet possible to walk. β
Because it was the cause of the injury, it was not honorable, so the bird was very unconfident when he spoke.
"I've heard that you have to pay attention to nutrition when recuperating from injuries, you need to eat something nutritious."
"Uh...... This one...... Thank you for your concern. β
In Xiaoniao's view, he and Yan Zhiheng have only met a few times. Xiaoniao's attitude towards him has not been very good, so he and Yan Zhiheng's concern makes her feel very uncomfortable.
This guy has a good personality, he doesn't hold grudges, and he cares about other people's subordinates...... Uh, isn't it a bit nosy to care about other people's subordinates? I always feel a little disgusting......
"And rest more, listen to the doctorβ"
"Brother Zhiheng."
Just when He Yan Zhiheng wanted to talk to the little bird for a while, He Yan Xinye suddenly appeared in front of him with a smile.
"Uh, Xinye? What's wrong? β
"Nothing." He Yan Xinye affectionately hugged He Yan Zhiheng's arm, "Brother Zhiheng, the witch team has passed, let's go to the front to watch the parade." β
"Uh...... I think it's better to forget it. The view from this wall is so good, you might be able to see a shrine maiden. β
"It's okay, I'll hold you before you fall."
"Hah...... Xinye, don't make such jokes, I don't want to faint in public. Also, I weigh more than two or thirty kilograms, and if I fall, I will definitely have to press on you, what if I hurt you? β
"If I am injured, Brother Zhiheng will take responsibility for taking care of me."
"Hah...... It doesn't matter if you take care of you, but it's better to avoid any injuries, my father and eldest brother will be worried. β
"Then Brother Zhiheng isn't worried?"
"Of course I'm worried."
When talking to the Yan siblings, the three maids had already focused their attention on the touring team. None of them noticed that He Yan Xinye's seemingly casual glance at the bird's gaze was extremely cold.
