Chapter 15: A Brilliant Night
It turned out that Shi Qing was still too naΓ―ve, and after lunch, Xiaofang was enthusiastic to help him pick out clothes......
For a whole afternoon, he ran around the city of Fengyang again, and he believed that he would not get lost in this Fengyang City in the future.
When the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun renders a faint gold on the turquoise emerald river, which is one of the landscapes of Fengyang, which is more than a kilometer wide.
In particular, there are dozens of vendors along the riverbank, and lanterns are hung with ribbons of ornaments, and the halo of light illuminates the surroundings, creating a wide and splendid road.
Crowds of people crowded the road, busy with the vigilant soldiers, because there were always some bold men who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get oil.
The noble ladies are okay, they have guards and the protection of the noble sons, so they don't need to worry, but those ordinary girls need to worry very much.
Xiaofang is beautiful and simple, and has become the object that many men want to touch, of course, no one succeeds.
Thanks to the clothes and baggage that have been put into the house, Shi Qing can use his hands and feet to act as a messenger to protect the flowers.
For those men who want to take advantage of the chaos to rub oil, he is not polite at all, and directly kicks the other party.
Paralyzed, I haven't touched it, you bastards still want to take the lead? Not abolishing it is already considered a kindness in his heart.
Escort Xiaofang all the way to the upper reaches of the Emerald River, stopping in front of a group of girls who are warblers and swallows.
At night, there is a show in the Emerald River, that is, unmarried girls will put down the lotus lanterns made by themselves upstream. The men are about to compete downstream, and being able to grab the lotus lantern of the beloved girl proves to be a match made in heaven.
Didn't grab it...... This may not exist, the lotus lanterns have names on them, and the men just need to swim over and find them one by one patiently.
If you are lucky, you will swim a few hundred meters, and if you are unlucky, you will swim for about a kilometer, but as long as you are patient, you will find the lotus lantern of your beloved girl.
This is a test for unmarried girls for men, and in the past, it was to do whatever they wanted. If you can't get by, don't do anything.
In the past, there was a malicious attempt to destroy the lotus lantern, but the result was tragic, and the limbs were mutilated by angry men, and since then, the lotus lantern has been held in peace.
Now it is one of the characteristics of Fengyang, and it also makes Fengyang boys get the habit of playing in the Emerald River since they were children, and they are so watery that they swim back and forth on both sides of the bank without panting.
After all, if a person with a bad water nature jumps down, the Emerald River on a March night will make people understand what it means to be cold to the bone, and the corpse sinks to the bottom of the river.
Regarding this, Shi Qing didn't know, his water nature was not at all, he was a landlubber in his previous life, and in this life, he swam in a ten-meter-wide river, or he used a dog planer.
However, he is better than having the blessing of enhanced spells, even if it is a dog planer, he is confident enough to win these swimmers.
Because there are no nobles who can swim in the water, oh, to be precise, no aristocratic man will surrender himself here, and those people are more accustomed to family blind dates.
Those aristocratic ladies talk about this kind of vulgar behavior, but every year they occupy the best position and are the most active onlookers.
It's noisy, like countless bees flying in your ears, and when you talk to people, you have to say it out loud, which indirectly leads to a vicious circle.
On the wooden bridge of the port of the Emerald River, young men are shirtless, gearing up, and are doing pre-swimming activities to warm up their bones.
Their clothes are kept by their families, and any thief who wants to steal must weigh whether they can withstand the fists of thousands of people.
Shi Qing took off only a boxer, and the rest of the clothes were handed over to Zhao Xiang to help keep them, and the night breeze was a little cool on his body.
He stood on the edge of the bridge, his strong muscles did not match his delicate appearance, and his bronzed skin made his eight-pack abs and pectoral muscles show a kind of masculine beauty.
In terms of physical fitness alone, within the six major departments, the body of the strengthening system is the most outstanding, and it is said that the first-level strengthening system Taoist master, the physical body has reached the point where it does not need to be strengthened, and it can be cut by anyone with a knife.
Even the siege ballistae can be hard, which is really perverted.
Of course, Shi Qing, a rookie who is not even a Ding-level Taoist master, does not use spells, and when he comes down with a knife, his skin will still be opened, and the pain will be terrible.
As the sun set over the sky, some businessmen who were good at drilling carried baskets of meatloaf and shuttled between the young men, shouting: "Sell meatloaf, sell meatloaf." β
"Oops, who's touching my ass?" A different kind of exclamation sounded, and then like a drum, such a sound sounded from time to time.
It wasn't until the bridge that Shi Qing understood why someone was calling.
He looks over seventy years old, wearing a bright red dress, his wrinkled face is smeared with the fashionable burgundy rouge, and he carries a basket in his hand, if he has apples in it, he is 100% the old witch in Snow White.
The corners of Shi Qing's mouth twitched, and he put his hand on his forehead and said, "Old woman, if you do such a thing again, you can't be afraid of losing face." β
Xiya lifted the basket and replied confidently: "I am selling meatloaf to make a little money, so I am not here to take advantage." β
He stretched out his hand and lifted the blue cloth cover, the basket was empty, Xi Ya's face was not red and breathless, and he opened his mouth to lie: "I'm sorry, I forgot to leave one for you because of my teacher's poor memory." β
"Don't deceive people, while they don't do anything to deceive the elderly, it's better for you to leave quickly."
In the end, he couldn't beat him, Shi Wei coaxed this one to leave in a good voice.
Xi Ya snorted, moved lightly with lotus steps, disappeared into the crowd, and continued to rub oil.
I'm not afraid that the hooligans are educated, but I'm afraid that the hooligans are old and thick-skinned, and most importantly, they are super capable of fighting.
Shi Qing sighed, sad for those men, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thanks to these men, he could escape from the clutches of today.
Gradually, the starry sky fills the sky, the clear Emerald River reflects the starry sky, and the lights on the shore are also incorporated into Hanoi, making it impossible to distinguish the difference between heaven and earth.
Chirp, accompanied by fireworks rising into the air, bursting into a brilliant rain of light in the sky, dotting the night sky.
The overwhelming cheers sounded from the riverbank, and the lotus lanterns with swaying orange flames slowly floated from the upstream, like scattered soldiers.
On the eleven wooden bridges that stretched outward, the men roared angrily and scrambled to jump down the icy Emerald River, ignoring the cold water of the river, and the flames of love filled their chests, making them fearless.
Shi Qing's limbs were slashed wildly, and the waves set off were three or four meters high, and he was like a yacht with full horsepower, taking the lead in rushing towards the lotus lanterns that floated down.
Rushing closer, he had to slow down his strength to avoid the waves of the river pushing the lotus lantern far away, and slowly swam to the edge of a lotus lantern, carefully reading the name on it.
The crooked handwriting was not made by Xiao Fang at first glance, he swam slowly between the sea of lotus lanterns, brushed aside those extra lotus lanterns, and looked for the only one.
The deafening cheering sound on the riverbank continued, and he suddenly felt a chill all over his body in the rippling and rippling cold water, as if an ice pick had pierced through a chrysanthemum, and his spine was cold and shivering.
No, it's not that the river is cold, some danger is approaching! Shi Qing, who strengthened his body, also strengthened his sixth sense of danger, which was also much enhanced.
