Xiao Yao didn't seem to care about the big men, but dodged to block the figure of the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, didn't you say that you want to drive all the people in the store away, because a hundred dogs are going to live in the store today, so people like us who can't afford to pay a high price have to drive them all away and give the dogs out of the room." Xiao Yao deliberately said loudly to the shopkeeper.

As soon as these words came out, the tenants around who had not had time to leave immediately stopped, looked back at the shopkeeper, and the big men suddenly changed their faces, stood up straight and surrounded the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper immediately changed his face when he heard Xiao Yao's words, "You, you, how are you?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yao got up again and shouted, "Everyone, I am a tourist in the store like everyone else, I just heard the news, this unscrupulous shopkeeper, not only took the opportunity to raise the price on the spot, but also because someone offered a higher price, he wanted to drive us all out, and let a group of dogs live in, if you don't believe it, you can look at the dogs outside the door." ”

Before Xiao Yao finished speaking, some tenants pushed the door of the store open, and saw that there were already guys in the store standing at the door of the store with a few dogs, and the store was immediately full of people, and several tenants began to push and surround the guys and shopkeepers in the store.

One of the several big men stepped forward. "You shopkeeper is a good bully, you dare to tease us like this, quickly bring up all the wine and food for Uncle Ben, and the dog outside the door will pick one for Uncle I will drink, this is a reward for you." After speaking, he didn't look at the shopkeeper, and the slap was a slap.

This slap suddenly made the shopkeeper fall to the ground, and a red palm print immediately swollen on his face, but at this time, he didn't know how to offend the anger of the public, he just looked at Xiao Yao viciously.

Xiao Yao didn't pay attention to it, stepped forward, and walked to the shopkeeper's side, "One person and one or two, the two of us have two rooms, and the shopkeeper is tired." After speaking, he didn't wait for him to agree, but pointed at the big men with his finger.

The shopkeeper knew that he could only suffer a loss, and he was afraid that Xiao Yao would instigate those big men again, so he ordered someone to lead Xiao Yao and them into the upstairs room, and arranged for the cook to cook for a few big men.

Seeing Xiao Yao's triumphant look, the eldest lady was also happy, while watching the guy clean up the room.

Xiao Yao urged the guy to clean up the room next door, and said to the eldest lady, "Things are not quite the same as I expected, I originally planned to use those dogs to toss, but I didn't expect that there were still these big men in the store." ”

The eldest lady looked at Xiao Yao's playful expression on her face, "So many dogs, what are you going to do?" ”

"Don't you hear a dog barking, a hundred dogs barking, then this wizard town will be lively." Xiao Yao was a little disapproving, "But it's okay now, we just said goodbye to Hu Yiyi, I didn't expect to meet such a few martial arts people here, Wizard Town is just recruiting relatives, but I think we will have the opportunity to encounter a lot of unexpected things here." The shopkeeper is called the wicked, and the wicked have their own grinding. ”

Seeing that the eldest lady was still a little worried, Xiao Yao continued, "Rest early, I haven't been safe in the past two days, maybe tomorrow will be a lively event." ”

After saying goodbye to the eldest lady, Xiao Yao returned to his room, and the clothes were lying on the bed, thinking about the various things of the Witch Clothes Sect and the Poison Dragon Sect, and more and more felt that this trip to the southwest would have a different world, and I didn't know if it would be easy to find a miracle doctor, but in recent days, I have seen that the eldest lady's physical condition is okay, but I don't know if the condition will change, in order to make her happy, let's take a good look at this wizard town in the past two days. Looking at the bright moon outside the window, tomorrow will be fifteen, and I don't know what the scenery of the talent show here is.

At noon on the second day, Xiao Yao and the eldest lady had a good rest before leaving the inn, for convenience, the eldest lady also changed into men's clothes, but she still looked very weak. Walking along the street, I saw that although it was noon, there were already many young men, dressed in various colors, walking towards a square in the center of the town.

I saw that a simple platform had been erected in the square, surrounded by four wooden poles with thick bowl mouths, and dozens of chairs were placed in order under the stage, surrounded by red ropes, isolated from other places. On the stage, there are three tables, covered with a thick red cloth.

There was a long table next to the high platform, and there were already more than a dozen young men standing in front of the table and lining up.

The two of them walked along the flow of people.

"Miss, let's go over and have a look, maybe Miss will hold a beauty tonight." Xiao Yao said to the eldest lady with a smile.

"Don't laugh like that, you're the one who wants to hug the beauty." The eldest lady glared at Xiao Yao.

"It's a beauty, of course I can hold it, but I don't know how to hold it." Xiao Yao continued.

When the two of them were arguing back and forth, they had unconsciously arrived at the periphery of the square, Xiao Yao was even more upset, and pulled the eldest lady to come inside, and each of them received a wooden sign for participating in the talent show one night, and was just about to leave, only to see a boy in Tsing Yi holding his own clothes.

"The two sons are also here to participate in tonight's talent show, I have here a collection of test questions and masterpieces of the talent conference in recent years, the two sons must be strangers, and they have never known the details of the talent show, one or two silver, the price is fair, and the children are not bullied."

Seeing Xiao Tong's pleading eyes at her, the eldest lady immediately unconsciously stretched out her hand to her money bag, Xiao Yao understood, and immediately took out a tael of scattered silver.

Xiao Tong took the silver, thanked them for a while, and gave them two collections.

It's just that when Xiao Yao opened this so-called collection of test questions and masterpieces, he suddenly felt that his head was big, it turned out that there was not much text in it, but a simple picture album, and reading the content of the exam made him even more hilarious, it was really a different place.

Originally, according to the records of this atlas, the talent conference of Wizard Town is completely different from the talent competition in the interior of the capital, the folk customs of this southwest place are simple, and they have always liked singing and dancing, regardless of men and women, young and old, they are born to learn songs and dances, and the types of musical instruments used to accompany are also very different from those in the mainland.

According to the records in this album, the talent show is divided into three parts, the first content is a singing competition, there are no rules for this competition, everyone who participates in the competition only needs to beat the tambourine by themselves, and sing loudly. The second is a dance competition, and the last one is a skill competition, because most of the young men who come to participate in the neighborhood are coming, although the third event is also mostly singing and dancing, there will also be all kinds of martial arts juggling, which is really varied and eclectic.

Seeing such content, the eldest lady and Xiao Yao were eager to try, and they really wanted to see the different human customs in the southwest region. Just to participate in the talent show, you need to prepare some necessary things, such as the tambourine that almost every family in the southwest region, Xiao Yao and the eldest lady asked a few passers-by, and along the side of the square, they found that there were two or three shops pù, specializing in selling all kinds of tambourine.

There are also a variety of types of tambourine in the southwest region, from a one-foot-sized waist drum to a palm-sized palm, and the two of them were dazzled for a while, and the guys in the store immediately came up and began to introduce this dazzling variety of tambourine.

After the guys demonstrated one by one, the two finally chose a tambourine, Xiao Yao's slightly larger, about half a foot square, and the eldest lady chose a three-inch size of the drum, the drum surface is all good cowhide masking, with a finger knock, immediately there is a drum sound, with the fingers vibrating, the drum surface vibrates up and down, the drum sound is strong and weak, sometimes sonorous, sometimes urgent, I can't imagine that such a small tambourine has so many changes.

Xiao Yao chose a teahouse facing the square, asked for a table facing the street, and waited for the start of the talent show while familiarizing himself with the tambourine, and it is said that the start time of the talent show is generally in the afternoon or evening, but as for when it will start, it is surprising.

It turns out that this town holds a talent show once a quarter, choosing the night of the full moon in the season, gathering young boys and girls from the surrounding towns and tribes, holding a talent show to help them get to know each other, choose a partner they love, and help large families choose excellent sons-in-law.

As soon as the two of them sat down by the teahouse, they saw a succession of young girls in various costumes, their costumes were mainly white, blue, and black, but they rarely saw red and pink in the Central Plains. Then the head and neck were covered with all kinds of silver and bronze ornaments, and the clothes were also hung with ornaments, and they walked with a tinkling sound, which was very pleasant to the ear.

It is said that it is the nature of Miao girls to wear silver ornaments, they pull their hair in a bun on the top of their heads, wear a silver crown about half a foot high, and make a beautiful silver flower crown, with 6 uneven silver wings inserted in front of the corolla, and most of them are made with two dragons playing with pearl patterns. In some areas, in addition to the silver plate, the silver crown is also inserted with a silver horn about one foot high, and the tip of the horn is colorful, which is more flashing and gorgeous. On the lower edge of the silver crown, the silver flower belt is hung in the circle, a row of small silver pendants is sagging, and the silver collar worn on the neck has several layers, which are mostly made of silver pieces and small silver rings. He wears a silver lock and a silver collar on his chest, and a silver cloak on his chest and back, with many small silver bells hanging down. Earrings and bracelets are all made of silver. Only the two sleeves are embroidered in fiery red, but the cuffs are inlaid with a wide circle of silver, and each carries a small and beautifully woven bamboo basket behind him. The girls carried bamboo baskets on their backs, and there was a waist drum full of patterns hanging around their waists, their waists were twisted, the silverware was jingling, and there was a different kind of fragrance on everyone's body.

Moreover, these girls are not as restrained and shy as the mainland women, they are often very bold and enthusiastic, and all the men who see the roadside with the wooden sign on their waists will call out enthusiastically and loudly to say hello, while the local teenagers will immediately pick up the tambourine and beat it in their hands, and the girls will beat the waist drum and play the piano in harmony. This made Xiao Yao and the eldest lady very nervous, and they didn't know how to deal with it.

I saw that the boys and girls in the square gathered more and more, and the chairs under the high platform were also arranged in a circle, surrounding the high platform. The three tables covered with red cloth on the table were also removed from the covers, revealing three round barrels, with a bamboo faucet for pouring wine at the bottom of one side of the barrel, and the lid of the barrel wide open. I saw those dressed girls and girls, one after another along the steps to the high platform, from the bamboo basket behind them to take out a high bamboo wine glass, the cup of home-brewed water and wine poured into the barrel, for a time the whole square overflowed with the fragrance of wine, and the people around the square immediately began to gather.

As the three wooden barrels were filled with all kinds of fine wine, the time was getting late, and I saw a big man in a black robe and black cloak jump on the high platform, and then take out a gong, and the gong sounded.
