[22] Lotus Town
Sometimes, towns are so far apart that you have to climb mountains. Sleeping in the trees and spending the night in a ruined temple is common.
For the sake of safety, Qian Muxue divided important things such as money and road guides into three parts, and the three of them collected them separately.
Qian Muxue also told Lin Ziluo and Lin Xiaohu to talk as little as possible, watch more, listen more and think more in an unfamiliar environment.
They try to follow caravans or darts as closely as possible along the way, walking with them and never acting alone.
When the caravans or dart masters saw that Qian Muxue and the other teenagers did not look like bad people, they allowed them to follow.
Some kind-hearted people know that they have traveled thousands of miles to Kyoto City to seek refuge with their relatives, and they take more care of them on the way.
In this way, they walked peacefully for more than a month, and they got closer and closer to Kyoto City.
On this day, Qianmuxue and several people came to a place called Lotus Town.
The town is bustling with people and is much more bustling than any other town I've ever seen along the way, with shops along the street decorated with lotus flowers.
Qianmuxue and the others wanted to join the inn, but found that several inns were full in a row.
Qianmuxue inquired and found out that the annual Lotus Festival was being held here.
During the festival, you can taste a variety of delicacies made with fresh lotus seeds and lotus couplings, and tomorrow night there will be a contest for the most beautiful lotus girl.
After the competition, you can also put lotus lanterns to make wishes.
As a result, people from nearby villages flock here to participate in the Lotus Festival, and merchants and tourists who happen to pass by also stop for two days to join in the fun.
When Qianmuxue and the others found the last inn, it was already late, and they were very worried, and if there was no more guest room, they would have to sleep on the street tonight.
As a result, unsurprisingly, this inn was also full.
When Qianmuxue and the others were about to turn around and leave, a mellow voice sounded behind them, "Let's let one come out and give it to these little brothers." ”
Qian Muxue immediately turned around and looked, only to see a beautiful man standing at the top of the stairs: black hair like satin, lips like cinnabar, sword eyebrows, warm as jade; He was dressed in plain clothes and had a sword tied around his waist.
A slight smile gives people the feeling of a spring breeze.
There were two beautiful girls standing beside him: delicate facial features, beautiful as flowers, and a light blue body; The two are very similar in appearance and should be sibling twins.
The handsome men and beautiful women are eye-catching, and the eyes of everyone in the store are shooting at them in unison.
Qian Muxue hurriedly arched her hand forward and said, "Thank you very much for your help, I don't know how to repay it." ”
The plain-clothed man looked at them and smiled gently, "When you go out, it's just convenient for everyone, so you don't have to be polite." ”
After speaking, he walked out of the door with two beautiful girls.
Qian Muxue looked at the man's distant back, thinking of a dashing young knight.
The next day, after they slept and eaten, they went to the bazaar together.
The bazaar here is really lively, there are all kinds of lotus and lotus flowers, juggling, martial arts, singing, and many local specialties.
Men, women, and children, crowds of people, laughter, shouting, and bargaining filled the streets.
When night falls, the whole city is lit up, shrouded in a beautiful light.
The contest takes place on the river, which is babbling and breezy in the middle of summer.
The two sides of the bank are decorated with red, white, purple, yellow and blue lotus flowers, which are blown by the breeze and exude a faint fragrance.
