Chapter 23 A Glimpse of a Thing
Midsummer Dragon Boat Festival, Canglong Qisu soars to the south of Zhongtian, the festival period is on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, which is a traditional folk festival.
Even Taiping Village is much more lively than before, a grand sacrificial activity was held, lively as if it was in the New Year, filled with a festive atmosphere, worshipping gods and ancestors is just the basics, drinking realgar wine to avoid poisonous insects is also one of the important contents.
Every household in the village is hanging wormwood and calamus, hanging on the door, with poisonous gas, can repel diseases, mosquitoes, evil spirits, special pungent aroma permeates every inch of the air.
The children are even more crazy, running around in groups, many children are still putting paper kites, their manual skills are first-class, simply paste paper or silk on the skeleton such as bamboo strips, pull the long thread tied to it, and take advantage of the wind to put it directly into the sky.
There is also dragon boat rowingββ
However, Taiping Village is only close to a small river, so it has not been able to develop such a custom, and Chaohu Lake is a day's journey from here, if it is not to go to the county seat, then it is difficult for the villagers to go to Chaohu Lake in advance for dragon boat racing, which is too unrealistic.
Although there is no hope for dragon boat rowing, the village also has its own customs, such as jumping Zhong Kui and slashing ghosts every year, and the traditional custom of eating dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival has been well preserved in Taiping Village.
"This thing...... Can you really eat it? β
In front of a stall in the village where rice dumplings were bought, Artoria's emerald green eyes contained a hint of anticipation, but more suspicion.
This kind of food has never been seen in her before, although she has spent more than ten years in this world, but basically spent it in the summer manor in Jimo Mountain, and did not go down the mountain much.
It wasn't until the early guarantee index was completed that Xia Ran received the news of the previous two twins, knowing that Han Lingsha had passed through Shouyang City and went to Taiping Village, the main plot was officially opened, and their group really began to enter the WTO.
"Of course it's edible, it's fragrant and delicious, but after this one, there won't be this store, do you want to try it......
The vendor behind the stall suddenly snorted, as if he felt a little aggrieved because of the girl's questioning, and he sold it very neatly.
"It's not me who said, our Li family's signboard is well-known in Taiping Village, you see how big this head is, strong and full, the glutinous rice inside is fragrant, and the meat filling is big and delicious......"
I have to say that his sales skills are still very passable, and ordinary people smell the aroma of zongzi and listen to his colorful explanations, they will probably feel an appetite, let alone a foodie.
"This ......"
Saber really hesitated, and subconsciously looked at the head maid who was in charge of the money on the other side, and found that the other party's expression was flat and unmoved, so he could only look at his master, revealing a hint of pleading.
Although the girl is not lacking in patience, more than ten years of life in the mountains will not make her feel tormented, but has given her another completely different life experience - she has never tried such a peaceful life, she doesn't have to think about anything, just do what she wants to do.
She was born to become the fate of the Lord of Camelot, for the arrival of that day, and she exercised all the time, never slackened for a moment, and when she was fifteen years old, after pulling out the sword in the stone and becoming the king, she had no time to rest.
Ruling the kingdom, fending off foreign enemies, fighting against the nobility, and a series of accidents such as her own princess, sister, and even her own daughter all left her exhausted, and when it came to the latter part, even the most trusted Knights of the Round Table were separated and fell apart......
Until his death, King Arthur had not been able to breathe, and even death could not bring her true rest.
On the contrary, now, she has enjoyed a carefree and peaceful life in this world for more than ten years, although she has not relaxed to exercise her swordsmanship and magic, but this is already a very relaxed and carefree rare experience.
Therefore, even the king of knights, who has been strict with himself for a hundred years, has inevitably recovered the nature of the girl who has been suppressed by the king's self-cultivation for a long time...... At least in the past, she would never ask Xia Ran with this kind of look.
"Then buy some to eat on the road, it's cheap anyway......" Xia Ran smiled slightly and said.
Anyway, this King Arthur has such a little fun in life, and he is not so black-hearted capitalist that this kind of thing is not negotiable.
"This little Taoist priest, you really have a vision, my Li family's signboard has always been well-known, zongzi is a penny, and Tong Su is not ...... bullied"
The vendor smiled, and quickly packed a few customers, and said with a grin.
"And our village has a play every year, on the stage on the side of the ancestral hall, if you want to, you can go over and have a look, while eating zongzi, while watching the play, it's really good......"
Under the influence of some kind of spiritual force, he was completely unaware of how strange the combination of the three people in front of him was, and how out of place the painting style was.
The young Taoist priest at the head said that he looked like a teenager, he seemed to be seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a blue and white Heavenly Master robe, and his long black hair reached his waist.
However, the head maid is still wearing a maid outfit with ruffles, bow ribbons and a headscarf, although Artoria does not wear a maid outfit, but the combination of a white trim top and a blue long skirt also looks very pure and lovely, which is completely different from the clothing style in this world.
And the two of them are obviously girls from foreign countries, one has silver hair and red eyes, and the other has blonde hair and blue eyes, this is the biggest feature and difference, theoretically speaking, no matter where you go, it is easy to attract attention.
It's just that Xia Ran doesn't have the heart to fish for law enforcement now, and there is no need for that, so he still uses some special means.
Of course, it's not very profound, it just simply affects the cognition of ordinary people, so that they can see the appearance of their own group and hear the voice of their group, but they will subconsciously ignore the relatively unreasonable part.
However, people with slightly special abilities, such as those with strong spiritual senses or special abilities, can be unaffected.
This also means that such people will still be the first to notice this strange combination and be attracted to it.
For example...... Han Ling yarn.
This young girl was dressed in a red and yellow trimmed suit, with a short skirt and short hair, and a heroic posture, as if she was dressed like this for the convenience of her movements.
She climbed to Qingluan Peak early in the morning to see the legendary sword fairy, but she didn't expect the sword fairy to be found, but instead met a wild man.
The main thing is that although she didn't find the sword fairy, she also found the clues of the sword fairy, but those things belong to the things left by the wild man's parents, and the wild man is big and admits death, so it is difficult to fool.
So in desperation, Han Nuxia could only find an excuse to let the other party go down the mountain with him to enter the WTO, trying to understand the past of his parents. In this way, the goals of both sides are the same.
But I don't know if Yun Tianhe is really scared - because he collapsed his father's tomb, so he is very afraid that after dark, his dead father will come to the door angrily and break his legs, so after making up his mind to go down the mountain, he ran fast all the way.
Almost noon, the two of them had reached the foot of the mountain and entered the village......
Han Lingsha was amused by this, and also planned to spend the night in the village. Although it was only noon, she was not in a hurry, for there was a rare feeling of considerable sleepiness.
However, this girl didn't suspect anything, she just thought that she had been running around all day yesterday, and she didn't stop to rest when she passed Shouyang City, and she climbed up the mountain early this morning, but there were frequent accidents and she almost died on the mountain.
Then she was reincarnated all the way down the mountain, she really couldn't stand it, although her skills were not bad, but in the end, she was also a mortal in the flesh, so she would naturally feel tired.
Asked Yun Tianhe not to run around, she was going to come over to find the village chief and tell her about the two of them hoping to spend the night in Taiping Village today, but when she came over, she saw such a few particularly conspicuous people, so she naturally subconsciously paid more attention.
This is caused by the professional sensitivity of Han Nuxia, as a mausoleum thief who travels thousands of miles alone, she is not only always wanted by the local government, but also often looked down on by some chivalrous people who also walk the rivers and lakes, and if you are not careful, you will really have to go to prison.
"Excuse me, girl, is there anything important? I see you've been watching us all the time, staring intently......"
Xia Ran stretched out his hand to take the head maid and peeled off the zongzi leaves with her verdant jade fingers, handed over the steaming zongzi, took a bite directly, turned to look at the girl in red not far away, and said directly.
Han Lingsha, who was discovered, was stunned for a moment, but there was no panic and embarrassment, after all, she was not so thin-skinned, otherwise, it would be difficult to mix in the rivers and lakes at such an age.
"Huh? Ah, this...... This girl has obviously only looked at it a few times, how can she keep looking at it intently? But you've found out like this, the little Taoist priest is quite clever......"
So she immediately opened her mouth with a smile, not at all affected, and her tone was very familiar, and she was also very calm.
"But don't worry, I just don't think you guys are like people around here, so I paid more attention...... After all, this girl has a lot of enemies in the rivers and lakes, in case you come at me, wouldn't it be a big bad thing. β
A little Taoist priest, but there is no disrespect, so it doesn't make people feel angry, she is originally such a character, generous, straightforward and informal, even Murong Ziying in the future will never be regarded as an uncle.
However, this kind of personality is indeed very likable, and if some people with the same straightforward personality are also very straightforward, it may be easy to get closer to each other.
But this also shows that Han Lingsha doesn't think that the little Taoist priest in front of her is anything special, and she doesn't even think that the other party is really a Taoist priest, even if she is young, she is not a person who receives people by year.
After all, she is only seventeen years old, and she seems to be younger, and the other party is the same age as her, so Miss Han will never discriminate because of her age, and she will not feel that she has no hair on her mouth and is not firm in her work, and she must be a white-haired old man to be a Taoist master.
The reason why she thinks that this little Taoist priest is not a true Taoist priest is because of the two beautiful girls around the other party, who are very beautiful, how can a real Taoist be like this?
So probably some rich kid is so idle that he thinks it's very interesting to be a Taoist priest, but he can't give up his family's beauty...... And if you take a closer look, you will find that these three people have obviously not done any work, and they are either rich or expensive.
- Thinking about it like this, she became more and more sure of her guess.
"I see, but the girl can rest assured, I'm not here to seek revenge on you......" Xia Ran chuckled, ate the zongzi in his hand in three or two bites, and said leisurely, "And I thought that girl, you were suddenly interested in the trail, and you wanted to come to the door to ask for a hexagram and divinate the future." β
"Huh? Can you, a little Taoist priest, still be able to calculate hexagrams? Han Lingsha seemed to be surprised, and subconsciously looked at him, "I didn't see you walking around holding a sign, how can others know like this?" β
"Yes, why not?" The young Taoist priest casually took the banner placed next to him and held it up, as if he had just put it on the side when he was eating zongzi, so Han Lingsha didn't see it.
Shaking his hands slightly, the banner was unfolded, and four big characters were written on it-
"Requests are not met"
"Poof...... Han Lingsha laughed out loud all of a sudden, "Do you want it?" So how are you doing business......
"Naturally, it's a matter of fate...... Xia Ran said with a smile.
"Then do you think this girl has a fate?" The girl in red was also immediately interested, and asked angrily, "Can you count me as a hexagram?" β
"Naturally, you can ......" the little Taoist priest glanced at her, "what do you want to count?" β
"This ...... Aren't they all like that? Fortune tellers are good or bad, look at the good luck and bad fortune in the future, there is no need for marriage, this girl is not interested......" Han Lingsha replied casually, looking not too serious.
"Numerology...... Girl, you are a person who is extremely prosperous in yin and yang in your birthday, born in the yin and yin moments, and your fate is a rare violation of Tianshui, which is one of the big evils......" Xia Ran said calmly,
"Huh? What do you mean? Let's be clear! Han Lingsha was suddenly a little dissatisfied, and the fortune teller didn't even know what to say?
"To put it mildly...... Girl, you're short-lived. β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Deathly silence.
After a long time, the girl in red was not surprised, her eyes lit up: "Could it be that you really have real materials, little Taoist?" Is this fortune telling true? β
"I just know a little bit about Taoism," Xia Ran said modestly......
