Chapter 60: Immersion in Dongli

The wharf is still a long distance away from the city center of Dongli City, and the four of them started the running mode again, turning over the mountains and forests, walking through the plains, and meeting many enthusiastic and simple local farmers on the way. This is the first Spring Festival that LV has spent here, but I didn't expect it to be spent in displacement. If it weren't for those farmers, they might have been sleeping hungry.

Originally, I planned to stay until the third year of junior high school and set off on the road, which was considered to have passed a year hastily for myself, but when I left, the farmers insisted on giving them a "red envelope" on the road, which was originally not intended to be wanted, but thinking that the penniless people could not go anywhere along the way, so several people accepted the gifts from the farmers after discussion, but they refused to accept the favor for no reason, and offered to stay and help with farm work for a few days in exchange for those "red envelopes". In this way, the four of them stayed for almost ten more days before continuing on the road.

In short, this is the most special and unforgettable Spring Festival in her life.

Bidding farewell to the farmer, the four of them began to rush day and night. To get to Nanzhi, they had to cross the center of Dongli City to the southernmost part of the city by boat, and it would be a long journey. In the past few days, the relationship between several people has become deeper and deeper, although Green Hui has "lost his memory", but in the eyes of Chaoyan, she will always be the center of their life, and Green Hui is their life. It's just that the concept of hierarchy has been ingrained in their hearts, so it is still difficult to play with Green Hui as an ordinary friend on an equal footing.

Finally, at the end of the Spring Festival, the four of them came to Dongli City.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the aftertaste of firecrackers on the streets is still strong. The couplets on the doors and windows of every house are still brand new, and the traces of the Spring Festival are recorded everywhere. A few days before the Spring Festival set off a storm, and then people were silent for a while, tomorrow will usher in another Gao Qi Dynasty - the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. After this day, the Spring Festival is the end in the true sense.

It has become a habit that every city you visit will take a look at its architecture. The architecture of Dongli is a bit similar to the style of Xiyue, perhaps mathematics, physics and chemistry are originally in the same vein, with a clear distinction between right and wrong, and no compromise. Because in these areas there is only right and wrong, and there is no compromise. Therefore, the buildings seen here are also angular and straight, but they are different from the buildings in the west that are pieced together with geometric figures. In terms of dress, they are not as particular as Xiyue, they are all more casual, which is a bit like Yu Liang in this regard.

For new things, LV will never skimp on her curiosity. The other three had been here before, but it was the first time they had come here in such a "hangout" way, so they were also very excited.

The whole bazaar has resumed their usual operations, and they are selling what they should sell. Of course, there are also some items for the New Year that still refuse to leave the shelves and are still on sale. Due to her preconceived ideas, Green Hui has a lot of expectations for Dongli, so her attention is all on some relatively "rare" things.

Glass marbles, kaleidoscopes and other things are sold in some small stalls, but there are not many of them, maybe they have not yet become popular, maybe because these civilians can't afford to consume them. As she strolled through the stalls, she was looking forward to seeing more new things, such as if she had a kaleidoscope, would she be looking forward to a telescope? As a result, the public looked for him thousands of times, and there was no telescope, but there were some ancient toys occasionally seen on TV, such as bamboo dragonflies, microphones, etc.

However, it is also expected, the development of each era has its laws, and it is also a continuation of the past, the Chongye Dynasty is generally more advanced than the same period in ancient China (referring to most of the objects that exist in two spaces at the same time, the Chongye Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are more consistent with the time) may be a little ahead of the development, but it is impossible to leap to China's modern times all at once, the telescope is at least a product after the 18th century, and it is unlikely according to the objective development law of things. The kaleidoscope is already a big surprise and can't expect more.

Continuing to walk with great interest, suddenly, Luhui stopped in front of a small stall selling tea sets, and the words "backflow pot" attracted her attention. The stall owner looked at the green hui and looked like it, followed by three maids, who thought he was also a rich man, so he quickly picked up the pot and explained it in detail.

It turned out that this was a teapot that could only pour water from the bottom into the pot, and unlike the traditional top filling method, there was no lid on the pot that could be removed. As for how to inject water from the bottom, after some explanation by the stall owner, I realized that the siphon principle was actually used. I have to admire the wisdom of the maker.

I thought that such a work of art should be expensive, but who knew that this thing has become very popular here and can be seen everywhere. Sure enough, it is different to have a special school to study it, maybe there was such a thing in ancient China, but in the end it will never be popularized to everyone can have it, this is the difference.

Lu Hui remembered the modern siphon coffee pot, imagining that in the near future, when Western coffee beans were introduced to Dongli, and glassware was also widely used, a group of ancients gathered around to use the siphon coffee pot to make coffee about heroes, which is really a unique scenery.

Dongli is really a diving lion, waiting for the splendor and take-off in the near future. Looking at its present, you will unconsciously imagine its future, and it is the place that people have been yearning for to completely get rid of backwardness and barbarism.

Although it is said to be "hanging out", everyone has not forgotten their current identity as a "wanted criminal", and from time to time they will still look around to see if there are any notices and suspicious characters about them, after all, they are all true faces now.

At night, the four of them wanted to find a more ordinary inn to settle down for one night, and then they would rush tomorrow, who knew that the street they visited during the day was the most prosperous street in Dongli City, and the inn was also very expensive, fortunately, those farmers gave them some entanglements before, although it was not much, but it was enough to stay for one night, and they could only endure the pain.

Here, there will also be a "light market" on the night of the 14th day of the first lunar month, which is to try out the lanterns. Vendors set up lantern sheds and hang lanterns in preparation for the next night's lantern festival. Therefore, the street market, which has no sign of seeing any signs during the day, is bright at night, except that there are no lantern riddles and rice balls, which are basically the same as tomorrow night's lantern festival. Many people still take advantage of the moonlight to come out to enjoy the lanterns.

It's a rare opportunity, how could they let it go. After the four of them freshened up at the inn, they rushed to the street to enjoy the lanterns.

At this time, it is the willow top on the moon, and tomorrow night is the first full moon night after the Spring Festival, so the moonlight this night is also extraordinarily bright. The lanterns on the street are not to be outdone, as if they want to compete with the sun and the moon, as bright as they can, as beautiful as they can be, the whole mile long street is as bright as day, like a silver river of lights flowing under the vast starry sky, running through the entire Dongli city that never sleeps.

Midori has always felt that the most beautiful color is the color of the Milky Way, and here, it gives her the illusion of being in the sky.

Appreciate the lanterns and appreciate the lanterns, the lanterns that are appreciated really live up to expectations, the production is exquisite, the shape is beautiful, and the lights are brilliant. LVHUI finally knows why people in ancient times were so keen on the lantern festival, and the feeling of being in the fire tree and silver flower is indeed dreamlike and intoxicating.

"Hibiscus out of the water", "Graceful sleeping lotus", "Linghua Yiren", "Butterfly Love Flower"...... The green hall reads the names of these lanterns with great interest, and caresses them lovingly as they read them. But looking at it, the principle still has to be adhered to, that is, just look at it and don't buy it, so I don't know how many stall owners have aroused the white eyes.

After a while, a few people came to a large store that looked a little more pompous than the others, and rows of lanterns were hung on the beams at the door, which was dazzling. The lanterns here resemble palace lanterns, whether it is the shape or the effect, it is really a "boutique".

"What kind of lamp is this, it looks a little different!" Standing behind a lantern, Lu Hui turned his head to ask Chao Yan beside him.

"Young master, this should be the more famous marquee here, after igniting, there will be a scene of scenery shifting and changing things on the lamp screen, which is a more precious and rare lantern here!" Chao Yan smiled. Then he patiently explained how it worked.

Lu Hui kept staring at Chao Yan who was dancing with his eyebrows, and then teased: "Ouch, I can't see it, you know a lot of things!" The tone was very indecent.

Chao Yan was originally a more traditional and reserved woman, and Lu Hui's face turned red a lot when she praised it.

Green Hui laughed in her heart, and suddenly felt a little crazy. I couldn't bear to make fun of her anymore, and I concentrated on admiring her lamp.

"It turns out that this is the legendary marquee!" Green Hui kept admiring in his heart, this marquee is like a small shadow puppet show. It really embodies the wisdom of the ancient working people everywhere.

Continuing to enjoy the lights, at this moment, Green Hui inadvertently looked up and saw two people walking in the direction of the store not far away, one of whose faces were still a little familiar, and only after getting closer did she see her face clearly.

"It's her!" After a small exclamation, Lu Hui reflexively dragged Chao Yan and the others back a few steps until the lantern completely covered them. (To be continued.) )
