Fifty-two. Snow Hunting Festival

In Situ Yi's palm is the begonia red that has been strung into a bracelet, and the red and gorgeous coral beads are one after another, making them more and more round and cute.

"The beads are scattered all over the place, and you have picked them all?" Qin Nanxi saw that he diverted the topic, so he went down and covered up his embarrassment with the words of Begonia Hong.

Situ Yi raised his lips and said, "Well, it's only one missing, but fortunately, your wrist is thin, and sixteen are enough" As he spoke, he reached over and handed the bracelet to her.

Qin Nanxi took it, took it in his hand and looked at the coral beads one by one, and said with a smile: "It is not easy to find such a string of corals of the same size and color!" Brother Yi used this to exchange for Nanxi's meal, which is too heavy! Nan Xi didn't dare to accept it! ”

Her brother Shengyi called her very naturally and smoothly, and she couldn't hear the name 'Mu Yun' that she deliberately avoided. She instinctively knew that the name was a dark pain and a taboo for him.

A trace of surprise flashed in Situ Yi's eyes, but it also disappeared into a warm smile in an instant. The commensurate brother and sister was his own intention, and she was so smart to take it, why did he bother with a name. Anyway, Brother Yi and Brother Xu, there is only one word difference! Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of his mouth was even warmer, and he stared at the begonia red in her hand, and said slowly: "The rest of the horizontal and vertical ones are in your hands, a string of bracelets, a bead hairpin, and it is also suitable to match them together." This bead is here with me, and it can only be hidden in the dark box, but the pearl is secretly cast. Why don't you just let it... With you. With that, he withdrew his nostalgic gaze on the begonia red, and shrugged his shoulders deliberately indifferently. Qin Nanxi only saw his casualness, so naturally he couldn't guess that the word "Sui" that paused in his mouth was actually originally a "companion" word.

Qin Nanxi didn't like pearl and jade ornaments since he was a child, but he had a love for this string of begonia red for no reason, and he felt that it was lying quietly on his white wrist, which was extremely appropriate and cute. After listening to Situ Yi's words, she also happily put the beads on her left wrist, got up and curtsied, and said with a smile: "Nanxi is better to be respectful than to obey her fate, thank you Brother Yi." ”

The main altar of the Snow Hunting Festival is located in the square in the southwest corner of Yunze City, which used to be a mule and horse market, with an open and flat terrain that accommodates more than 10,000 people. An altar was set up in the middle of the field today, and there were three tall icicles standing on the altar, and three animals were solemnly placed on the top of the columns. In front of the icicles, there is a tall copper tripod with boiling hot oil. An old wizard in full costume was chanting words around the oil ding. In the corner of the altar stood a young Orion, with a flushed face, holding in his hand a small snow-white, shivering thing. Under the altar, hundreds of hunters sat around, all staring at the old wizard with solemn and focused expressions.

Qin Nanxi stared at the altar in amazement, only to feel that the green smoke rising from the oil pod had an inexplicable sense of oppression, forcing her to even breathe low. There were more than 10,000 onlookers on the altar, but she could still clearly hear the words of the wizard on the altar! It turns out that the solemnity of sincere love and awe is so contagious.

She was secretly amazed at the scene far beyond her imagination when she saw the wizard in front of the oil tripod stop his strange dance, and then saw the young red-faced Orion majestically walking towards the center. He held the trembling ritual in his hand all the way, as if he was holding his still beating heart! In just a few steps, he walked for a long time. When he reached the middle of the altar, his proud head immediately bowed reverently, and his strong body fell with it, and he bowed reverently in the direction of the icicles and the oil pod. The sorcerer on the side took the snow-white mass of ritual from his hand and held it in the direction of the heavenly vault. At this moment, the hunters in the audience suddenly bowed their heads to the ground neatly, their heads surrounding the center of the altar from all sides. Everyone's bare foreheads were tightly and firmly pressed against the cold ground, refusing to leave even a soothing gap for themselves. Qin Nanxi in the crowd stared at them in shock, and even saw that some of them's shoulders were trembling slightly.

Suddenly, a terrible, high-pitched, terrible cry came from the altar.

Qin Nanxi raised his head in response. The scene in front of her made her mouth open subconsciously. Before the voice could burst out, her lips were covered by Situ Yi's reach, his left hand stopped her lips, and his right hand gently brought her to his side.

She turned her head to look at him with tears of horror in her eyes, but saw that he only shook his head calmly, and his gaze at her was comforting, understanding, and comforting. He was accustomed to such scenes, but she, who was a gentleman and a cook from afar, felt that it was bloody and barbaric to throw a living fawn into boiling oil and sacrifice.

I knew this was the case, don't come to see this excitement! Qin Nanxi lowered his head to avoid the thick black smoke on the oil ding, and deeply regretted it.

In my ears, the solemn silence suddenly exploded into noisy human voices! The ceremonial ceremony was successfully completed, and the joy that had been accumulated by the hunters for a year began to be released. The line between the hunter and the spectator, which had been clear until a moment, was drowned in the flow of people. Around him, there were people with ecstatic and excited faces.

"The little white deer was sacrificed by thousands of choices, and for these hunters, the fawn can become the main sacrifice, and it is also a blessing for it to cultivate in three lives. With such death, its soul will go straight to heaven. It's not cruel, it's just, it's just a little different from the Central Plains" In the flowing crowd, Situ Yi turned to face her, gently put his hand on her shoulder, and explained gently.

Qin Nanxi lowered her eyes and nodded, even if there were thousands of people who didn't understand, she didn't accuse the Orions of their position. Besides, she asked him to bring her to see it, and she didn't want him to be embarrassed.

"Let's go to the surrounding markets! That's just lively, maybe I can find some interesting things" Situ Yi put down his hand and stared at her for a moment.

Qin Nanxi looked at the embarrassment in his eyes, so he had to smile deliberately, and slowly walked towards the surrounding square market with his traction.

Because the big set was improvised, it seemed very casual. The stalls are just tables and chairs that the merchants have brought from their stores. The families crowded along the edge of the field, and then set up a pole on the corner of the table, and hung a small horned banner on it, with a smiling face full of wings, and stood behind the table, and a small livelihood was made.

The two slowly moved in the direction of the flow of people, there were a dazzling array of things in front of them, in the center of the square behind them, the altar had been removed, and a burst of singing came from afar, swinging in the ears, the song was full of joy, soaked in such a flood of vitality and joy, the heaviness in Qin Nanxi's heart gradually lightened.

Situ Yi lingered in the market with great interest, and she had to temporarily put aside the remaining unpleasantness and put her mind on the market in front of her.

She was looking down in front of a stall and fiddling with a small object she didn't recognize, when she heard a sudden burst of girls' singing behind her. Those voices were very tactful, but the words they sang were words that Qin Nanxi couldn't understand at all.

When he turned around, he saw four or five young girls dressed as shepherds standing in front of him. They are of different heights, fat and thin, and their postures are also high, but they all stand in front of them, each holding a red, green, and green colored knot in their hands, and their eyes all fall on her side with enthusiasm and expectation-Situ Yi.

Qin Nanxi looked left and right suspiciously, only to see that the people around him had withdrawn a few steps. On the vacated small piece of land, the girls gradually formed a small half-circle, and the position in the center of the circle was Situ Yi and himself two steps away from him.

Qin Nanxi looked at it ignorantly, only to see Situ Yi shaking his head helplessly at the girls, the smile on the corner of his lips was very beautiful and gentle, but it was clearly apologetic

Seeing him shake his head, the girls took another step towards him, and their singing voices became louder, and the knots of colored thread in their hands that reached out to him were almost close to his hand. The surrounding stalls and all the people passing by stopped, and everyone looked at Situ Yi with a smile, as if waiting for an important decision.

Qin Nanxi tilted her head and looked at him helplessly, but the proprietress in the stall behind her was anxious for her, looking at her ignorant with angry eyes.

"You stupid girl, such a good lover is about to be robbed, what are you stupid about!" The proprietress finally couldn't stand her hindsight, and leaned over to Qin Nanxi's ear and whispered to her.

"Huh?!" Qin Nanxi was shocked when she heard this, and looked back at her. ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――ps: Thanks for the free peace charm! You're such a nice guy! Momoda~
