Chapter 54: The Lights Are Down
When he got to the second floor, he told Chang Yu about it, and he was excited, and he came to his senses at once.
So in the evening when Hongxia escaped, the three of them walked on the way to the night market.
At this time, it is the time when most people are cooking, and the chimneys everywhere rise straight up with curling cooking smoke, and the smoke rises to a high place and slowly disperses, and the clouds of fire reflected red by the setting sun become thicker and thicker.
The aroma of each family's meals, burned by the hot charcoal, floated everywhere, no wonder some people always say that Qingcheng County is not only a prosperous place, but also very humane.
The three of them walked all the way, and there were already vendors everywhere who began to move the wooden plank supports, and set up small stalls in twos and threes.
Some of the children who had eaten dinner stood aside and gnawed on their hands to watch the excitement, some had small hands holding rice bowls and sat on the threshold of their homes, and those favored children had already taken a few copper plates and waited next to the candy seller.
A long street looks out, and there is almost no open space on either side, and it is full of hawkers' stalls.
"It's really lively, I don't know if it's as lively as here compared to the capital."
Chang Yue looked left and right, and sighed.
"There is a curfew in Kyoto, and there is never anything like this at night."
Wei Lingmiao interjected faintly beside him.
"That's going to be a lot less fun."
Gu Chao sighed for the curfew in Kyoto, but Wei Linghao knew that although Kyoto was the most prosperous and desirable place in the world, few people who lived there were really happy, let alone the people who were bullied and exploited by all kinds of people in Kyoto.
As we walked, the afterglow dissipated, darker and darker blue blended into the sky, and a few mischievous stars began to poke out of their heads.
If you want to talk about the night market, the most gorgeous and beautiful thing is the lanterns like a competition. After all, if you don't have big, good-looking lights, who can see what you're selling?
The night market in Qingcheng County, even in the surrounding counties, is also very famous, in order to attract customers, even if the stalls are smaller, the lanterns hanging on the top must have a panache.
Just like that, the house was bright and brilliant everywhere, and it looked like it was daytime, and it didn't have the upper hand compared to the fire and even the clouds.
"The cloth clothes are one after another, the lights are like day, the flowers are dancing, and the smile is smiling, I have seen it today."
Gu Chao remembered the night market scene described in the previous book, and when he said a few words, his eyes were shining.
Chang Yu even squeezed into the bustling pile, where there were many people, Gu Chao followed Chang Yu and looked around, although Wei Linghao didn't like the annoyance of too many people, but he had to follow.
Watching Gu Chao and the two squeeze into a place surrounded by many people, Wei Linghao endured the discomfort and followed Gu Chao to reluctantly squeeze in, where a large shelf was placed, and there were a lot of small and delicate, colorful lanterns hanging on it, and a white thread fell from the lantern, and a small strip of cloth was wrapped around it, and there were words on the strip of cloth.
It turned out to be a lantern riddle.
"Gu Hao, are you coming? Once upon a time in the mountains, our own riddles were not as interesting as this. ”
"What's so strange about this, it's not all the same."
Gu Chao said, looking carefully, although there were a few ordinary objects on the cloth, there were really a few, and she couldn't think of anything at once.
Gu Chao pushed Chang Heal and motioned for him to come first.
Wei Lingmiao, looking at these two people in Xingtou from behind, he knew that he was coming out, and he couldn't stop it.
Now these two people, look at this, look at that, where do you remember to follow him.
This guessing lantern riddle game, are there colorful head rewards, and the reward of this lantern riddle, is that whoever answers correctly, can choose any one flower to take away, if you guess the biggest lantern riddle, there is a most kitschful, the bird pecks the pearl flower to send.
This biggest color is really strange, only the phoenix has always been a pearl, where did anyone think of embedding pearls into the ordinary finches in the mountains.
However, Gu Chao still likes this, she has never seen a phoenix, and it is not rare, who said that only a phoenix is noble, no matter how noble it is, it is just a nothing.
And the finches that can be seen everywhere in the mountains have accompanied her for many years.
Whenever she is in a bad mood, she goes to the forest to relax alone, or when she encounters a bottleneck in her martial arts practice, she goes to the deep forest to split bamboo and play.
When she was most lonely, listening to the gentle singing voice of the finch, she was in a very comfortable mood.
Gu Chao saw that a few people had already guessed it, and he was bent on getting the big prize, so he was a little anxious and hurriedly made a guess.
It just so happened that others had guessed all the simple and easy-to-understand things, and the scene was about to get cold, and everyone was staring at her, waiting for Gu Chao to guess it.
Gu Chao straightened the strip of cloth, and when he looked at it, it was written:
Untie the three autumn leaves, and can bloom February flowers. Thousands of feet of waves across the river, into the bamboo ten thousand poles slanted.
After the boss waited for Gu Chao to read it, he asked for a strip of cloth and read the poem aloud for everyone to read, and the uncles and aunts on the side waved their hands and shook their heads, waiting for Gu Chao to say.
Gu Chao put his hand behind his back, his eyes rolled around, and he said the mystery loudly.
"Yes, Wind!"
"The girl is so thoughtful, you guessed right! There's a little bit of gadgets over there, the girl chooses one and takes it! ”
Chang Yu was about to go over to help Gu Chao take it, but he was stopped by Gu Chao, and the boss was puzzled.
"Why, the girl doesn't like these things about me?"
Gu Chao hurriedly waved his hand.
"No, no, I just want the biggest jackpot, how do I get it?"
"That? Guess that, but if you want the capital, you will always pay the money once, and if you guess wrong, you have to pay the money again before you can continue to guess. ”
The people who guessed on the side were ordinary people who wanted to be lively, and when they heard that they wanted to make money once, they were too expensive, and those who were quick to talk shouted at the boss directly.
"Boss, you're not authentic, and the money has always been too expensive, isn't this a robbery! You don't just look at someone else's little girl and just blackmail someone for money, right? ”
The boss listened and made a blank face.
"Go, go, Wang Ershun, what do you know, that object is a treasure that my friend got by chance from Yan County, that finch is woven layer by layer of the blue cloud line of the attack department, although the bead is small, it is the pearl of the hundred-year-old mussel in the Jinhe River in the border pass, do you say that I have always received money is expensive?"
Then Wang Ershun said again.
"Raids? What a rare thing, a few years ago, the Ministry disturbed the border pass, my aunt's family was almost killed, the things of the barbarians, what's so good. ”
Gu Chao really liked the object, and said to Wang Ershun with a smile first.
"This big brother is so enthusiastic, I thank you here, but I'm willing to give it a try, I just got it by this big brother, take it back and wear it for my wife."
Wang Ershun smiled when he heard it, and went over to choose.
Gu Chao took out a silver ingot from his arms.
"Well, you can guess twice."
The boss smiled like a flower and took it, then tore off the strip of cloth on which the riddle was written on the big lantern and read it out loud.
