"Young Master......"

At this time, two subordinates walked behind him and said respectfully: "The charms you ordered us have already been pasted. ”

"Hmm." Liu Xiuping nodded slightly, casually threw the sugar gourd that was only a small bite on the ground, clapped his hands gently, and turned around and walked in the direction of the painting boat.

"Let's go, what the Thirteenth Aunt said is still the last step......" he said softly, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked into a smile, but a pair of eyes that should have been clean flashed slightly scarlet.

The two subordinates hesitated for a moment, and reminded loudly: "Young master, the old lady instructed yesterday that a few people in our Liu family have suddenly disappeared in the past few days, and they are a little suspicious, it is difficult to say whether someone is deliberately targeting the Liu family in secret, so you should be careful not to go far......"

"Don't worry." Liu Xiuping didn't look back, just chuckled and looked up and sang, "Don't do bad things during the day, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night......"

————————————————

Although the real excitement has to wait for the night lantern festival, the streets are already quite noisy at this time. Even if she was in the Su family at this time, she could hear the sound of gongs and drums beating outside, which made her more lively sister-in-law Su Zhirou a little impatient, and looked out of the door from time to time, but she didn't have her sister's permission, so she didn't dare to go out at will.

Su Wanmiao couldn't help but be a little amused when she saw her like this, and turned to Du Bai and said, "Xianggong, why don't you go out with Zhirou for a walk, lest this girl scold me in her heart later." ”

"How could I scold my sister?" Su Zhirou held Su Wanmiao's arm coquettishly, stuck out her tongue playfully, and said with a smile.

Du Bai smiled and looked at the two sisters and laughed, and then thought of something and looked at Wanmiao suspiciously: "Lady, aren't you going out?" ”

"Hmm." Su Wanmiao nodded with some regret, "There are some things in the temple fair that still need me to come forward, so if you want to go out, you may have to wait until the evening." ”

That's a shame.

So in the afternoon, Du Bai only took Su Zhirou, the maid Xiao Ying'er and a monster servant out for a walk.

However, at this time, the entire road in front of the City God Temple was already crowded, and there was probably no scene to worship the City God, but only the lion heads of the lion dancers in the crowd could be faintly seen. Su Zhirou and Ying'er had some regrets about this, but Du Bai didn't care much.

The City God's Temple in this world is now just a virtual appearance, and the real gods are gone, so it is more appropriate to ask for the clay statue than to ask for yourself, and it is really just a peace of mind.

So a few people didn't continue to join in the fun, and went to other places to have a look.

At this time, the lanterns on the streets near the river bank are already hanging one after another, and although you can only really see this beauty at night, it is already predictable.

At this time, the little girl Ying'er also pointed to the lantern above her head with a little excitement, and shouted while jumping: "Uncle, look at you, these are the lantern festivals I once told you, aren't these lights beautiful!" It'll be even more beautiful at night! ”

Du Bai smiled and nodded, and his gaze slowly swept over the lanterns on the top of his head that were made of strings, the shapes and patterns on them were beautiful and exquisite, and more importantly, these were real candles, which were handmade by those craftsmen and gathered thousands of lights, not those electronic lanterns in modern times, nor were they products produced by assembly lines.

At a glance, a unique and simple charm that belongs to this era is spontaneously born in his heart, which makes him feel touched......

Su Zhirou was not as interested in these lights as Ying'er, and after just two glances at the lights, she turned her attention to the more novel things.

Performances such as strange things, or some ingenious things that she has never seen before, attract her attention more than those red, green, and green lanterns.

"What is this?"

At this time, she was a little curious to pick up a fist-sized piece of wood from the stall next to her, boxy, with a rather unique pattern on it, and she couldn't even see what it was for a while.

Du Bai also looked at him suspiciously, and could vaguely see that there seemed to be some clever mechanisms in it, but he couldn't see the specifics.

"This girl, you have such a good eye!" The stall owner smiled and said, "This thing has no ability, and ordinary people really can't do it." Here, let me show you how. ”

The stall owner picked up another identical piece of wood from the stall, flipped it in his hand for a while, and then pressed a dark grid on one side.

After he pressed for a few short breaths, he saw that the wooden block suddenly began to twist automatically, and saw that the small squares on it were automatically arranged in an orderly manner, stretching or closing, although the speed was not fast, but it was quite complicated, so that Su Zhirou and Ying'er on the side were a little dumbfounded.

When it finally stopped, this boxy piece of wood turned into a bird carved out of vivid wood!

What is even more surprising is that after the stall owner's finger lightly tapped the wooden bird's head, it even waved its wings like a real bird, slowly circled above the stall owner's head, and let out a few birdsong before flying back to the stall owner's palm.

Except that it's made of wood, it's almost like a live bird!

Seeing this scene, Du Bai was also a little unexpected. He could feel that there was no trace of spell in the wooden bird. In other words, it's all about tricks!

"Sure enough, in this kind of world where gods and Buddhas once existed, everything can't be underestimated...... he sighed in his heart, "Even a piece of wood can play with flowers in the hands of these skilled craftsmen......"

Satisfied with the surprised looks of several people in front of him, the stall owner smiled, turned the wooden bird back to the ordinary piece of wood, and looked at Su Zhirou happily: "What do you think of this girl?" ”

"Awesome!"

Su Zhirou looked down at the wood in her hand with some excitement, and asked curiously, "Then can I also conjure a bird with this in my hand?" ”

"This girl might as well try it herself." The stall owner deliberately sold a pass.

Su Zhirou nodded, looked the wood in her hand up and down, found the hidden grid that was suspected to be a switch, and pressed it gently.

Then her eyes widened, and she saw that the wood in her hand did not turn into a bird after a while, but became a beautiful butterfly the size of a palm, lying quietly on the palm of her hand.

"What a beautiful butterfly ......"

Ying'er and Su Zhirou were pleasantly surprised to look at the gadget, especially the delicate carving and coloring, and almost thought that this was a truly beautiful butterfly!

After gently pressing, the butterfly also gently flapped its wings and circled around Su Zhirou, light as the wind, beautiful.
