Chapter 37: The Mask
The distant Bgm rang all night in the dream, and the next day Yu Xiaobai was woken up by the samurai, the light of the morning light sprinkled down from under the branches and leaves, Yu Xiaobai raised his hand through his fingers, looked at the sun, and in the confusion of waking up, he felt as if he was going to get up in a hurry and go to school with a piece of bread in his mouth in the next second.
Got up and rubbed his eyes, the team of dozens of people was already stumbling and ready to go, Yu Xiaobai shook his head, he rarely seemed to sleep so well. But it's too defenseless, which is a big taboo.
After washing up and keeping up with the large army, Yu Xiaobai ran over from the tail end and saw several people wearing scribe clothes and two warriors guarding them, hurrying as if they were also coming from somewhere.
Yu Xiaobai quickly overtook them, and when he passed shoulders, he saw the drawing board held by the men and women in scribe clothes.
A casual glance, it seems to be the sunrise between the ups and downs of the magnificent hills, black and white sketches, the messy lines are only half completed, and when Yu Xiaobai thought of taking a closer look, he had already jumped on a big tree, shuttling over people in the way of a ninja.
"Not only music, painting or something, there are also ah......" Yu Xiaobai jumped in the air more than ten meters away, and the team of carriages under him would look at him enviously from time to time, Yu Xiaobai was also used to these eyes, but he rarely lowered his head to examine, singing, painting, it turned out that there were all there.
At noon, just rested for a while, and the team continued to walk, compared to the past, today's efficiency was very high, Yu Xiaobai was a little surprised, and later found that it was at this speed before dark that he could rush to the nearest city.
Not having to live in the wilderness is definitely exciting news for this group of officials and samurai who came out of Kyoto, the land of fire.
It can be seen that everyone's interest is high, and the samurai captain Sanada Hanjiro handed it over when he gave the lunch box at noon. In the afternoon, when the sun was halfway to the west, and after a short period of motivation, the team of envoys who were not able to lift their energy gave up the idea of rushing into the city in one go, and rested in place.
Thinking about the fatigue of the pampered people, Yu Xiaobai didn't sweat, and the people sat in a circle on the grass, and he ran to the outermost periphery as usual.
The sunlight gradually turned orange, probably the remaining time was definitely enough for everyone to go into the city to rub a meal, the samurai talked more hilariously, and there were two young people who started the competition with a smile, cheering, the collision of the scabbard attracted the attention of most people, not to mention anything else, aside from the actual combat, the two of them fed each other gorgeously.
There were also older samurai skills who waved their arms and walked up to join, and the atmosphere was pushed up, and when Sanada Hanjiro, the strongest man here, also rubbed his hands and walked out, people's enthusiasm reached its highest.
Whew, Sanada Hanjiro solved a samurai in two or three strokes, and the applause of the crowd made Sanada Hanjiro feel good, and some of the maids were already slightly red, especially the envoy who also stepped down from the carriage, and when he watched with a smile, hey, Sanada Hanjiro threw a knife flower, maybe this is a winner in life.
I don't know who shouted, "What about that Konoha ninja, tell him to come and fight Sanada-sama!" ”
Sanada Hanjiro was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes lit up when he was in an invincible state of mind, there is this statement!
gave his subordinates a look, and he pretended to be reserved and said a few words, but the voice of the crowd was really high, and immediately a samurai ran to find Yu Xiaobai at the height of the grassy slope.
The young and beautiful envoy looked at all this with his eyes crooked, covering the corners of his mouth lightly.
"A ninja with a white feather in the name!" A samurai panted and ran uphill, wow, you're fine, why are you sitting so high.
"It's the name Yu Bai......" Yu Xiaobai said helplessly, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"We're trying to compete, you're a ninja and you must have a strong trick, do you want to go down and have a couple of moves with Sanada-sama? Everybody's watching. The young samurai raised his katana, which never left his hand, with a smile of joy on his face.
"Oh, this one." Yu Xiaobai glanced down lazily, he was actually thinking about what song the envoy girl sang last night.
Sanada Hanjiro, who was sitting in the middle of the crowd, was tall and handsome, standing out from the crowd, seeing Yu Xiaobai's gaze through, his face was confident, he raised his hand with a knife, and signaled, "Brother Tai, Meng Lang is Meng Lang......"
Damn, I haven't seen you so polite before.
"I don't think I'm interested." Yu Xiaobai said regretfully to the young warrior in front of him. The other party was immediately surprised when he heard this, "You are a ninja of Konoha, how can you not have this friendly competition at this time...... With all due respect, it's a real loss of grace. ”
"Ninjas don't talk about manners......" Yu Xiaobai whispered something that the young samurai didn't hear clearly, and finally refused the invitation.
The young samurai returned disappointed and went to report the news, he had wanted to see the gorgeous ninjutsu.
The wind was blowing slowly in the evening, Yu Xiaobai was holding an animal mask in his left hand and a coin in his right hand, and this piece of metal was bounced into the air and fell again and again by him.
The news of the Konoha ninja's refusal to engage in the battle caused the envoys to boo, but everyone quickly forgot about it, as the envoy said that he wanted to do a dance.
This time, it wasn't just the singing, but the music as well.
Some musical instruments were taken out and they got along for a week, but Yu Xiaobai still knew that these people were carrying some wooden or metal musical instruments.
There was only a simple rhythmic beating, and this time the song was different from last night, except that it might be because it was drifting in the vastness of the hill sunset, and it was still so far away.
The lyrics are very simple, just like a haiku, repeated chapters, babbling, Yu Xiaobai felt calm when he heard it, and he had never heard the music theory handed down from the origin of this world.
Turning his head, this time it was easy to see the figure of the red and white kimono, the dance was also very slow, very single, the envoy girl turned around softly, and the wide clothes surrounded her, like a blooming flower, when the beautiful face was facing him, Yu Xiaobai paused, and the other party wore a half-naked mask,
Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but look down at the mask on his hand, one was killing and the other was dancing.
The samurai officials sitting around did not make any noise, and looked at the only dancing girl with a dignified expression, and the slow dance with a bit of sacrificial style was too nostalgic and infectious.
When Dangdang, the pale red light crawled little by little on this green space, and before I knew it, the daylight on the horizon was getting darker and darker, and when the last red ray of sunlight moved through the body of the envoy girl, the dance just ended.
When, Yu Xiaobai suddenly saw that the envoy girl noticed herself who had been staring at this side, and smiled kindly.
The eyes of the crescent moon are the color of red agate.
The last rays of light faded, and the setting sun sank into the mountains. The torches were lit.
Sanada Hanjiro began to organize people to step up into the city, and Yu Xiaobai glanced over his head and put on a mask.
