In summer, it dawned early, Lu Li and Mengqi left early, and the plane they took arrived in Nanyang at about 9 o'clock.

After the two got off the plane, they did not delay, and took a taxi directly to Tongbai County, the venue of the Qixi Cultural Festival.

Under the research of some scholars, it is believed that Nanyang is the birthplace of Qixi Festival. In Nanyang, there are many versions circulating, one of which is the legend of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl in Tongbai County.

Legend has it that when Pangu opened the world, because there were no grains on the ground at that time, it stole the grains in the heavenly warehouse and scattered them to the world, so it was given to heaven by the Jade Emperor and broke his leg. Sun Ruyi used potpourri to heal the ox's injuries, and the scalper helped the cowherd and the weaver girl become a family. Later, the scalper helped the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd steal silkworm blue, silkworm seeds, looms, weaving shuttles, etc. from the Heavenly Palace. Since then, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the male farmer and the female weaver, have lived a happy life.

And this year's Qixi Cultural Festival is scheduled to be held in Tongbai County, and it is also because of this legend.

Lu Li naturally disguised himself when he went out, after all, his popularity in Huaxia is relatively high now, and it is easier to be recognized if he goes out like this. However, it is obvious that Lu Li's disguise was successful, at least the taxi driver did not see that Lu Li was a big star.

"Are you going to the Qixi Cultural Festival?" After Lu Li and Meng Qi got into the taxi and said their destination, the driver greeted.

It's not a secret, people who want to go to Tongbai County today are all going to the Qixi Cultural Festival, so Lu Li agreed: "Yes, there are a lot of people who want to come today, right?" ”

"Well, I've been on this trip a few times today. It's better for you young people, we people are already old. As he spoke, the driver had a look of reminiscence and envy on his face.

Lu Li smiled when he saw this, and felt that this driver was very interesting. So he talked to him: "Then master, do you know anything about this cultural festival?" ”

"I must understand, how can I, as a Nanyang person, not even know this?" When the driver heard this, he showed a proud look on his face: "Actually, this Qixi Cultural Festival is similar every year, but it is just held in turn in several legendary birthplaces in Nanyang." And this Tongbai County, legend has it that the scalper is in the ......"

As he spoke, the driver began to introduce the story of this legend to Lu Li and Mengqi.

Lu Li and Meng Qi didn't know that there was such a legend in Lu Dao before, and they listened to it with relish.

After listening to this legend, Lu Li began to inquire about the specific situation of the Qixi Cultural Festival. And this master is also very enthusiastic, and introduced some unique activities of the Qixi Cultural Festival to Lu Li and the two in detail. Activities with traditional characteristics, such as "threading needles and begging for skill", "throwing needles to test skills", "celebrating the birthday of the cow", "worshipping the weaver girl", "worshipping the Kuixing", etc., I am afraid that there are no such activities in other places now.

And Mengqi was also a little eager to try when she heard these activities, and wanted to arrive in Tongbai County as soon as possible to play with Lu Li.

It didn't take long. At about 10 o'clock, Lu Li and Mengqi arrived at the place where the Qixi Cultural Festival was held. It is already crowded with young men and women. Of course, there are also many vendors who set up stalls selling fruits, needlework and thread, or some traditional ornaments, as well as some people who organize events. It's very lively. Of course, these people are mainly some elderly people. In particular, most of the organizers of the event are not young, and many of the young people have no inheritance, but they still inherit some of them.

"Good! Come on! Suddenly, there was a boiling not far ahead.

"Ah Li, let's go over and have a look." Meng Qi was having a lot of fun when she came here at the moment, pulling Lu Li to run over there.

The two walked into the road only to know that this was a place to thread needles and beggars, and I saw many fashionably dressed young girls standing together, holding a thin needle with a very small pinhole in one hand and wearing very hard in the other. And from time to time to look left and right at the situation of other people, it has the meaning of comparison. After all, this needle is to compare the dexterity of the hand, and whoever wears it first will prove whose hand is more dexterous.

And the first person to wear the needle can also get a unique needle as a reward, with the word "skillful" engraved on a very small needle.

And the male companions of these girls are cheering for their girlfriends on the side, and most of the voices that have just come are from them.

Lu Li saw Meng Qi's eager expression, and said loudly: "You also want to try?" ”

Hearing Lu Li's agitation, although Mengqi was a little moved, she was more shy: "No, just watch them." ”

"You can't be scared, right?" Lu Li knew that Mengqi was shy, but he said it deliberately.

Meng Qi was really fooled: "Who said I was scared, I just didn't want to play this." ”

Saying that, Meng Qi didn't look here, and continued to walk forward, and Lu Li naturally followed.

It wasn't too early for the two of them to arrive here, and it wasn't long before it was twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time many people gathered in front of them.

Lu Li and Mengqi were also very curious when they saw this, and followed.

When he arrived here, Lu Li found that there was a large circle here, and the circle was full of basins, and the basins were filled with water.

Lu Li didn't know what he was doing, so he pulled a man who looked about his age next to him and asked, "Hey, buddy, what are you doing here?" ”

The young man smiled when he heard Lu Li's question: "Brother is from out of town, right?" ”

Lu Li didn't know what the man dared to ask, but he still nodded: "Well, it's from out of town." ”

"It's noon now, and there will be an activity here to test the skill of needles, and we Nanyang people are more familiar with it." Saying that, the man pointed to the basin of water in the circle: "Look at these basins, wait for the participants to throw the small needles in their hands into the basin, the weight of the needles is relatively light, or it will not be long before they will float up, and then watch the shadow of the needle under the water under the sun at noon." If the reflection in the water is like flowers, birds, fish, insects, or clothes and shoes, it proves dexterity; If you pour back the wax of the shaft, it is clumsy. ”

When Lu Li heard this, he also roughly understood what was going on with this needle throwing trick, but how could a needle have such a strange water shadow, which made Lu Li a little curious.

"Ah Li, why don't I give it a try?" Meng Qi finally couldn't help it this time, just threw a needle, but she was no longer shy.

"Well, then you wait, let's go over there and sign up." Saying that, Lu Li took Meng Qi to the registration place next to him. After paying some registration fees, Meng Qi waited with Lu Li.

The last girl was almost there, and the girls who had signed up threw the small needles in their hands into the basin together.

Meng Qi also threw the small needle out of his hand, and then came to the basin he threw with some nervousness to check the water shadow.

"Ha Lu Ha!" What Meng Qi didn't know was that Lu Li also quietly came over, and couldn't help but laugh after seeing the water shadow in the water.

Meng Qi glared at Lu Li fiercely when she heard Lu Li's laughter, pulled Lu Li and left here, not even a small needle that could be taken away as a souvenir.

Lu Li laughed, naturally because the water shadow of the small needle thrown by Meng Qi was like shaft wax, representing clumsiness, Lu Li couldn't help laughing for a while.

"Still laughing, is it that funny?" had already walked out of the crowd, and seeing that Lu Li was still laughing, Meng Qi was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, I won't laugh anymore, I don't think this can be done accurately, our Qiqi must be a clever person." Lu Li restrained his smile and said flatteringly.

Although Lu Li said this on purpose, Meng Qi was still sweeter in his heart: "Hmph! For the sake of being so eye-catching, I reward you with something. ”

As he spoke, Meng Qi took out the Qiaoguo that had been prepared for a long time and handed it to Lu Li, and now it was noon, and it was almost time for lunch.

Lu Li was a little surprised when he looked at the Qiaoguo that Meng Qi took out, because he had been with Meng Qi all the time, and he could be sure that Meng Qi did not buy the Qiao Guo. Then this coincidence in Mengqi's hand is probably made by Mengqi herself, and she has already prepared it.

"You did this?" However, subconsciously, Lu Li looked at the very delicate fruit in Meng Qi's hand, and couldn't help but ask. Mengqi's Qiaoguo is even better than the ones sold outside, and it doesn't look bad. Lu Li really didn't expect Meng Qi to be a clever fruit

Meng Qi was not hypocritical when she heard this: "Yes, I did a good job last night, and I will give you a gift for Qixi Festival." ”

"It seems that our Kiki is really a skillful hand!" Lu Li praised unabashedly.

Meng Qi blushed a little when she heard Lu Li's words and remembered the small needle she had thrown, but she looked at Lu Li eating very deliciously and showed a satisfied smile.

However, it was definitely not enough to eat such a little fruit at noon, and Mengqi didn't eat anything, so the two found a small restaurant nearby to eat together.

This place holds such an event, and there will naturally be no shortage of places to eat nearby, but it is more convenient.

And during the time when Lu Li and Mengqi were eating, Lu Li's Qixi single also officially premiered on YY Music Network.

After Lu Li and Mengqi had dinner, they were ready to continue playing, but when they went out of the hotel with Mengqi, they heard someone calling their names.

Lu Li was a little puzzled when he heard someone call his name, he didn't have any acquaintances here? Or is it recognized?

But no matter what, Lu Li turned around to see who was calling him. If it's an acquaintance, then naturally nothing. If it's a fan, it's estimated that they will find themselves to take a photo and sign something, and it's nothing, as long as you can ensure that you don't publicize it and don't disturb your play with Mengqi.

"Sure enough, it's you, Lu Li!" Seeing Lu Li turn around, the person who had just stopped Lu Li seemed very excited and hurriedly chased after him.

However, Lu Li was a little strange to the person who came, this person was neither his acquaintance, nor did he look like a fan, although he looked very excited, but it was definitely not the excitement of fans seeing idols. (To be continued......)
