―――――――――――― Dividing Lines――――――――――――

"Qihao, if one day I have to leave because of something, and then when I come back to you, I put a mask on my face, and it is not put on by myself, but by someone, and then the voice also changes somehow, just so that you don't recognize me and know that this person is me, what will you do?" The two sat at a stall selling wontons, and suddenly asked Yan Qihao with a smile. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info And the mask she just bought, she had already put it aside, waiting for the stall owner to cook the wontons, and then looked at the rabbit mask that she had taken off, and suddenly asked.

"Fool, you know that to recognize a person, it is not the eyes, but the heart. And you've been with me for so long, will you not recognize me because I've changed my looks? I promise you that I will never let you leave me easily, if for some reason, or because of someone, we have to separate, then when you are sent back to me after being transformed, even if I may not be able to recognize you immediately at first, after all, your voice has also changed, but after a few days, after you get along with me, I will definitely be able to recognize you, because you are the person in my heart! Although Yan Qihao didn't know why Zhan Xiaoyan suddenly asked this, he still answered her very seriously.

"Good, Qihao! The reason why I ask you this question now is because I know that both you and I are people who are very serious about their feelings, and we are both people who will never change once we identify each other, but will always be with each other until we are old. But from the time we got married to the time we were full of wrinkles and lost our teeth, there was still a thirty or fifty years, and when there was no accident, we would not die easily, so what would happen in these thirty or fifty years, none of us could have predicted, so we had to always know each other's hearts! ”

Zhan Xiaoyan heard Yan Qihao's answer, and he was very satisfied, and he also saw the full affection and tenderness in his eyes. And also asked herself in her heart, if Yan Qihao is no longer what she looks like in front of her, but has changed her face and voice, will she still be able to recognize her? Although Zhan Xiaoyan does not think that life should be on guard all the time, if an accident may occur, he will also need to see what kind of attitude he uses to face it.

"The ravioli for two is here! Two of them are from out of town, right? Our husband and wife have been setting up stalls here for almost 20 years, so although Luogu Town is not small, we have basically seen the people in the town, and we also know that every year on the day of the temple fair, there are many outsiders like you and your husband come here, and at this time, the inns and restaurants in the town are the most profitable! The boss brought the wontons up, and then looked at the two of them and asked.

"Really? So I wonder if the boss can tell me, what are the characteristics of this temple fair? Although we can also see that there are a lot of stalls in this stall, and the sky has gradually darkened, we still don't know what the biggest feature of this temple fair is. Zhan Xiaoyan added vinegar and chili peppers to his wontons, and then added vinegar to Yan Qihao's bowl of wontons, and asked the stall owner the same way.

"We hold a temple fair in Luogu Town every year, and then those of us who set up stalls also take advantage of this day to make good money, but the biggest feature is the dragon and lion dance! On this day every year, the mayor of the town will invite two teams of dragon dance teams, four teams of lion dance teams, in front of the open space, is also specially vacated, the largest open space near the performance, and from the middle of the time to perform, and then until the end of the hour, for half an hour, until the end of the performance, the temple fair is almost finished! The boss said carefully, and looking at her appearance, it was obviously not the first time that she had explained the situation to outsiders.

"Really? Thank you so much, boss, we'll definitely see the show then. If a guest calls you there, the boss should come over quickly! Zhan smiled and said, so he scooped a wonton with a spoon and ate it, well, sour and spicy, delicious! And the meat filling in the wonton is also made of very fresh meat, and the owner here is not black-hearted, and he does not use the kind of meat that stays overnight as the filling, and sells it to the guests!

"Okay, Qihao, I'm full of food, it's still a moment, we can go shopping again, although I have bought a lot of miscellaneous things, but these are all I picked for Xiaotian, Xiaoyu and Xiaoning, and I haven't bought the things I want to give to the imperial brother. Because since it is a tour, then every time we stop at a place, we buy some things, and when we go back, we can give them these things, which is the evidence that we have always cared about them! After eating the wontons, Zhan smiled and wiped his mouth and stood up, then looked at all the things Yan Qihao was carrying in his hand and said.

"Okay, then let's buy some things for the imperial brother! Although he is the king of a country and the palace is full of good things, for him, sometimes it is not only the value of the item itself, but also the heart and thoughts of the person who gave him such a thing. And there's nothing the royal brother doesn't particularly like, so I think he'll be happy to bring it back to him no matter what we wait, and give it to him! Of course, Yan Qihao had no objection, because he knew that this was the carefulness and thoughtfulness of Zhan Xiaoyan, and she was such a person who was willing to consider others.

"Well, then we'll buy him something he can use. For example, gloves and scarves worn in winter, or hats can also be used; Well, then there's the clairvoyant, I see that it is also sold at a small stall just now, although I don't know why this should be in a tribe, it is quite precious, and the items that can magnify things in the distance to see in front of your eyes will be here, but I think this may be the most suitable for him! ”

Because Yan Qihao was carrying things in both hands, he couldn't hold her anymore, so Zhan Xiaoyan grabbed his arm and took him to a place where there were few people, and said thoughtfully. Because now that she is married to Yan Qihao, the relationship with Yan Qijin is of course different from before, that is, he is no longer just a king, and in her heart, he has also become a family member and brother, so what to give him, of course, think about it.

"You're right, then buy a clairvoyant! It's a rare thing in Kyoto, but it's sold in a town two days away from Kyoto, so I don't know why, but now that we've seen it, let's buy it and bring it to the Imperial Brother! And we don't have to carry everything we have bought all the time, but when we get to the big city, we just put our things in the post station and have someone send them back to Kyoto. Yan Qihao said without objection.

Since they had a goal, the two of them naturally bought their things quickly, and when they walked to the specially enclosed open space, there were already many people there, and those who walked in from the outside were also specially blocked in the middle of the way, obviously because they were waiting for the six teams to come. Although it is not unheard of to show a smile in the dragon and lion dance, but since the boss just said that it was a performance, there must still be something different.

"The wait is about to begin, so the person who is going to set up the venue must be coming soon! Last year's piling was very exciting, and the last winner was the green lion, I don't know who will win this year? And I don't know if this year's arrangement will be to step on the pile, or bite the colored ball? Yan Qihao and Zhan Xiaoyan heard the people around them talk like this.

"Well, whether it's stepping on a pile or biting a colored ball, it's all very exciting, but there may also be different performances, after all, if the temple fair every year performs the same content, then there won't be so many people attracted to it. We didn't also hire an ox cart from the village, and when we got back, we had to hire a horse-drawn cart, so we didn't need to think about anything, and when the show started, we just watched it carefully. Look, the arranger is coming! ”

The other girl said this to her companion, and by listening to the voice, she knew that both girls were not very old. And her last sentence also made Yan Qihao and Zhan Xiaoyan, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, look at the road that was specially blocked by someone, and saw several men with pillars and stones on their backs walking in from there, walking directly to the open space, and after putting down the things they were carrying or carrying one by one, they began to arrange them familiarly.

"It only takes less than half an hour to set up, and since they are here, it means that the dragon and lion dance team must already be behind, let's wait to see the performance!" The other girl affirmed that it was obviously not the first time she had come to the fair with her friends, and she knew when the show would start, and how long it would take for the people who came to set it up, and she would not disappoint those who were waiting to see the show!

As the girl said, the men who had just come over put the stakes and stones one by one and left, and before they left, two dragon dance teams, four lion dance teams, a total of six teams had arrived, they walked to the arranged place, and the four lion dance teams stepped on the stakes, and someone next to them beat gongs and drums, and they started the performance with the music, and the people around them, as spectators, naturally watched with full attention.

This time, the performance is to step on the stake and bite the colored ball together, the four lion dance teams each step on the stake up, and then one of the lion heads holds a ball in its mouth, and then there is a stick in the middle of the stake, and there is a ball hanging on the top of the stick, a total of two balls, and in the end, which two lion heads grab these two balls, it means winning. As for the two dragon dance teams, they are performing below, and the two dragons have enclosed the stakes and stones in the middle, which looks very spectacular, and they only need to perform their own performances, and they don't have to cooperate with the lion dance team.

Half an hour of performance, for the dragon and lion dance, the time is not short, but it does not make people feel bored at all, at least the smile is to watch with relish, whether it is the lion grabbing the ball, or the two dragons dancing that are vivid, all make Zhan Xiaoyan feel very exciting, this trip to the temple fair is really worth it! Not only did I see such a wonderful performance, but I also bought what I wanted to buy, which was really good! Although it is only a small town, it really has its own characteristics.

After participating in the temple fair, the three of them continued on the road the next day, Yan Qihao was also very clear about where the next destination was, and he really planned everything. And today is the third day of their travel, and they are still in the territory of the Northern Yan Kingdom, and it will take at least more than 20 days to completely get out of the territory of the Northern Yan Kingdom, that is, when they need the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the three of them can go to other places, and they are no longer in the territory of the Northern Yan Kingdom

"Smiling, we will still walk between the town and the big city these days, maybe through the countryside, but if you want to go to the Hohe tribe you mentioned before, then we have to wait for more than half a month, because once we get to the tribe, it means that we have to leave the territory of the Northern Yan Kingdom, so now we still have to stay in a small town, about two days later, we can go to a big city, and then we can send the things we bought back to Kyoto, and that big city is famous for hot springs, We'll have a good time! Yan Qihao introduced carefully.

"Okay, it's good to go to the hot springs! But Qihao, if we can take the waterway, then we can take the waterway, go by boat, of course, not by boat immediately, but if the road can be taken by water, then we will go by boat, although it is quite comfortable to take a carriage, but occasionally it is necessary to change. Zhan Xiaoyan has no opinion on where to be at this time, since it is a play, of course, it is where to go, as long as you can see different scenery and eat different food.

"Of course, there is a waterway, just not far from the tribe, that is, we can only take the waterway except for the territory of the Northern Yan Kingdom, because this year-long tourism, we can't always take the land route. And when we leave Beiyan and go to another country, we will stay there for ten days and a half months to appreciate the different customs and customs, otherwise if we are in a hurry all the time, there is no meaning of traveling. Yan Qihao replied affirmatively and said with a smile.

Of course, he has already arranged everything, when he will arrive where he will go, and what road he will pass through, but everything is still based on the will of showing a smile, if she has any special places she wants to go, she can also change the route because of this, but it doesn't seem to be, so of course they stay in the town these days, and they will go to the big city the day after tomorrow.
