Chapter 221: Crazy Night, Academy Celebration (Part II)
"This is the celebration!"
Listening to the cheerful music that permeated the entire academy and looking at the lively scene around him, Xiao Du couldn't help but think in his heart.
This is the second celebration that Xiao Du encountered after coming to this world, the first one was after Baimu Town was broken by the elves, and I don't know what they were celebrating, it may be to protect the evacuation of non-combatants, or it may be because the adventurers have earned enough points and money, and somewhat, in order to enliven the atmosphere of the people, that night, everyone gathered around the candle flame, eating the corpses of the elves who died in the siege of the town, a hearty dish, meat that could not be eaten enough, and drinks that could not be drunk no matter how much they drank, He was happy until dawn, but it was nothing that Xiao Du did, because he had already fallen asleep tired, and it wasn't until the next day that he learned that there was a celebration in Baimu Town last night
"Brother Du, let's go, let's go to the front and have a look." Wang Bing took Xiao Du's hand and walked forward happily.
"Hey, wait for me."
Kuang Ze was picking something in front of a stall, and as soon as he took the golden potato chips handed by the stall owner, he saw that he was abandoned by the two, so he hurriedly took out a silver coin and put it on the table, and chased after him without waiting for the stall owner to find money.
The crowd was bustling, and Xiao Du and the three of them walked in it, as if they were all crowded, and Xiao Du even wondered if the whole city of Oles City had come.
"Xiao Du, look over there, that person will breathe fire in his mouth." Kuang Ze was eating something in his mouth, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he pointed to a big man who was similar to an acrobatic performance not far away, breathing fire in his mouth.
"Brother Du, what do you see those people doing?"
Wang Bing saw a group of people gathered around and kept fishing for something with a net, and he became interested for a while, and after saying something excitedly, he trotted over.
Xiao Du and Kuang Ze were also a little curious, and followed, and after seeing what it was, Xiao Du shook his head, crying and laughing for a while, this is because the stall owner is pit people.
The three-meter-wide wooden barrel is filled with water, more than a dozen tadpole elves the size of ping-pong balls swim around in the water, at this time there are more than ten people holding a thin net in the water, every time the tadpole is about to pick up the tadpole, the tadpole will struggle for a while, and then break through the thin net, fall into the water again and swim around, unwilling people, or people who do not believe in evil, will take out a few copper coins again to buy a net for tadpoles, continue to fish, and continue to fail, until after waking up, then shake their heads and leave, The stall owners continue to wait for the next group of visitors.
Although Xiao Du doesn't know what the principle of this game is, it's definitely a trick, so I'm not interested in playing, just take a look.
"Haha, I'll try it too."
Kuang Ze saw that another person failed to leave, laughed, took out a silver coin and threw it to the stall owner, in exchange for twenty small nets, squatted on the ground and fished it up.
"It's really evil, I don't believe it."
After going down two nets in a row, he was only able to catch the tadpoles, Kuang Ze was a little unconvinced, he rolled up his sleeves, and stacked the two nets together as clever as he fished them towards a tadpole that was staring at him.
When the stall owner saw his movements, he smiled indifferently.
When the tadpole saw the net coming, he symbolically escaped, and finally was forced into a corner, Kuang Ze saw this, his eyes lit up, and he forced the tadpole into the net, no matter how hard the tadpole struggled, he couldn't get out of the thin net, Kuang Ze smiled, "Sample, don't give me up yet." As he spoke, the hand dragging the net slowly moved up, out of the water, Kuang Ze also did not dare to breathe, and steadily raised the net, just when he was about to fish the tadpole into the canal on the side, the thin net broke in the tadpole's struggle, and the tadpole fell into the water again, twisting its tail and swimming, and the tail twisting left and right seemed to be laughing at Kuangze.
"Coming!"
Kuang Ze let out a hideous roar, probably in his head, grabbed the net in his hand and fished it out.
Xiao Du also smiled when he saw it, and Wang Bing was beside Kuang Ze to make suggestions, or make commands, after another failure, Kuang Ze was also a little distressed, and gave the net to Wang Bing and let him try, and the two discussed while fishing for tadpoles.
"That guy actually hit it."
As someone left, someone joined, and I don't know when, a voice drew people's eyes past.
It was a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old, with silver hair that covered his eyes and ears, under the cover of that sparse hair, his eyes were sharp, and there seemed to be a crazy flame burning in his pupils.
The boy ignored the crowd around him, his eyes locked on a tadpole in the water, grabbed the net and probed into the water, quickly, without a little hesitation, after the tadpole entered the net, his wrist was weird, and the tadpole was rolled up with the net, and the movement was smooth and fluent into the canal on the side.
Seeing that someone had finally scooped up the tadpoles in the water, the stall owner's smile became a little stiff.
"Sure enough."
The silver-haired boy grinned at the corners of his mouth and spat out a sentence, and his voice was very low.
After saying that, the silver-haired young man ignored everything else and walked away on his own.
"Alas, lad, your two tadpoles."
Seeing that the silver-haired young man was leaving, the stall owner was secretly happy in his heart, but because of the business still to be done, he hurriedly got up and shouted.
"No, you can keep it."
The silver-haired boy didn't even look back, but his voice reached everyone's ears.
"I'll go, how did that guy do it just now?" After Kuang Ze saw the man leave in a dashing manner, he said with a glint in his eyes.
"I don't know, his movements are so fast, it seems that with a turn of his wrist, the tadpole was thrown into the canal by him." Wang Bing said.
Xiao Du watched the silver-haired boy leave, among these people, he may have seen it clearly, the silver-haired boy's action was that after catching the tadpole, his wrist was reversed three times in an instant, the tadpole was completely entangled, and thrown into the canal on the side, the speed was very fast, and the kung fu of almost half a blink of his eyes had been completed.
"Come again! This time it's me. ”
Kuang Ze saw that Wang Bing had failed again, so he hurriedly took over and learned the movements of a silver-haired boy in a good manner, but he was not a silver-haired boy after all, and as soon as his wrist turned, the tadpole had already fallen into the water from the net.
The rest of the people were also struggling with the tadpoles in the water, but they all kept failing, but another person came from behind, and actually took a tadpole and sent it into the canal, took the water bag with the tadpole, and left, which once again inspired the surrounding crowd to join.
Xiao Du knew at a glance that the person was dragged by the stall owner, otherwise, if this game had been failing, would anyone still play, so someone must succeed.
The nets in Kuang Ze's hands decreased one by one, and when it came to the last one, Xiao Du smiled behind him, "Let me see and try." ”
When Kuang Ze heard this, he handed over the last net in his hand, and said, "If you don't say it earlier, there will be the last one left." ”
Xiao Du smiled slightly, did not speak, after taking the net, put it into the water, very easily circled a tadpole, scooped it up, pulled his wrist, learned the movements of the silver-haired young man and withdrew and turned, did not stay and retreated three times in a row, and slapped the canal on the right hand, and the tadpole successfully fell into the canal.
"I'll go, and it's done." Kuang Ze shouted happily.
"It's still Brother Xiao Du, it's only one success." Wang Bing also said happily on the side.
"It's okay."
Xiao Du smiled, in fact, he failed, probably because of his unskill, and in the end he was able to succeed, but he also cheated, and at the moment when the net broke, he used the iron rod that weaved the net to knock the tadpole into the canal.
"Wow, big brother is so amazing."
A little girl with pigtails carried by her parents next to her couldn't help clapping her hands and screaming when she saw Xiao Du catching a tadpole.
Xiao Du touched the little girl's head with a smile, and said softly: "Big brother is not powerful, it's just luck." ”
When the seven or eight-year-old girl heard Xiao Du's words, she turned her head and looked at her father who was helping her catch tadpoles next to her.
The little girl's father is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, after using up the last net in his hand, he sighed, saw his daughter's disappointed face, held his daughter's hand and swayed from side to side, squeezed out a smiling face, and said: "Yuanyuan, when you grow up, Dad will buy you a cute elf when the time comes." ”
The little girl glanced at the tadpoles swimming in the water, at her age, they cared more about what was in front of them than in the future, and it was good that she didn't cry or make a fuss when she was sensible.
"Well, Yuanyuan, let's go, you see there are a lot of fun things over there." When the little girl's mother saw her daughter like this, how could she not know that he liked these tadpoles very much, but they also saw that this was a trap, and they ordinary people could not catch it at all.
Xiao Du glanced at Kuang Ze beside him, the meaning was obvious, he was asking what he meant, after all, this was an opportunity that Kuang Ze bought for a silver coin.
Kuang Ze also understood what Xiao Du meant, nodded, and said with a smile: "Anyway, you caught it, you can deal with it yourself." ”
Xiao Du didn't say much, took the water bag packed by the stall owner, came to the little girl, and handed the water bag containing the tadpole to her, "Take it, this is what I gave you from my big brother." ”
When the little girl saw the tadpole, her bright eyes lit up, and after taking the water bag, she happily said to Xiao Du: "Thank you, big brother." ”
"Thank you so much." After the little girl's mother thanked Xiao Du, she touched the little girl's head, "Let's go, say goodbye to the big brother, let's go over there and have a look." ”
"Well, goodbye, big brother."
After the little girl finished speaking, she took her mother hand in hand and left.
"This little brother, I don't know how to sell that tadpole, I"
The little girl's father stayed at the end, and after seeing his daughter leave, he came to Xiao Du and said, but before he finished speaking, Xiao Du had already shook his head lightly, waved his hand, didn't say anything, and walked to the other side with the two people beside him.
"Thank you."
After Xiao Du left, the little girl's father spat out a sentence and thanked him from the bottom of his heart, and then chased after his wife and daughter.
PS: I'm thinking about writing more than a dozen sheets for this celebration, or just three chapters.
