Chapter 127: The Bonfire Festival is a shocking change
Night soon came.
Hundreds of young men and women had come to the huge square, and a huge bonfire had been lit in the center of the square. The sky-high firelight illuminated this gentle night, and also reflected the faces of men and women.
Shahu and Mingzhu are the sons and daughters of the village chief, so the two of them have invisibly become the leaders of men and women. Both men were in their respective camps, organizing people to sit in order. The two groups of people, one in the east and the other in the west, surrounded the bonfire, forming a huge encirclement.
In front of everyone was a table not very high, full of delicious wine and fresh fruit, and everyone sat on the floor, facing the campfire, happily whispering to their friends.
Xiang Zixi sat beside Mingzhu, grabbing the wild fruits on the table from time to time and stuffing them into her mouth, she couldn't help but praise every time she ate one, it seemed that she didn't know how much she liked that sweet and sour wild fruit!
Ji Yan sat opposite Xiang Zixi, poured himself a drink, and poured the self-brewed wine in the cup one by one.
The peach blossom eyes had never left the body of Xiang Zixi, who was happily eating wild fruits, Ji Yan couldn't help but suspect that she was participating in the bonfire festival to eat the wild fruits at all, right? How delicious is it that she can't put it down so much?
I picked up a wild fruit and was just about to stuff it into my mouth, but before I could taste it, Shahu had already stood up from the ground with a wine glass, and said proudly: "The annual bonfire festival officially starts now!" ”
Then the crowd burst into applause.
"The game starts now!" The sand tiger screamed, tilted his head and poured the wine in his mouth.
Everyone also picked up the wine in front of them and drank it with their heads up! Everyone found their own masks and put them on their faces, and Xiang Zixi also put on the masks like the others. Under this moonlight, as long as you wear a mask, you basically can't tell who is who, but in the eyes of Ji Yan and Xiang Zixi, there is actually no difference between wearing a mask or not. One is a martial arts master with strong night vision, and the other is a former female thief with a keen perception of the night. Therefore, even if everyone put on masks and exchanged seats, Xiang Zixi could still tell that most of the people were coming.
Shahu was the first to jump out of the crowd, and suddenly appeared next to the bonfire, and sang to the girls on the other side of the bonfire: "My sister, you are like a fairy in the sky, floating and falling into my heart lightly, my brother begs you not to be nostalgic for the fairyland in the sky, stay with me in the beautiful mortal world, and live a lifetime!" ”
Shahu's singing voice is very loud, revealing a wildness, and the words are very clear, and he won a round of warm applause as soon as he finished singing.
Xiang Zixi applauded vigorously and applauded repeatedly. Some of the girls here also jumped out of the group, came to the bonfire, and began to perform a dance, with the singing of the sand tigers, sometimes looking forward to it, sometimes coquettish and shy.
At this time, someone came over and pulled Zi Xi up, pulled her up from her seat, and dragged her into the campfire.
Xiang Zixi didn't react at first, just stared blankly at the girl who pulled herself into the encirclement, and watched how she swung her arms and twisted her waist, dancing a dance with national characteristics.
Xiang Zixi's previous life was a world-class thief after all, so she needed to learn a lot of things, as she said, national dance and national standard, which are one of the skills that must be learned and used in the organization.
The world of dance is universal, and even if she is not familiar with the dance, she can immediately imitate it after watching it a few times.
Someone in the boys' team beat the drum, knock knock, knock knock, Xiang Zixi suddenly found a feeling, as the drum slowly began to dance, the movement was a little stiff at first, but it didn't take long to find a place to fuse, and danced skillfully.
Although Xiang Zixi was wearing a mask, Ji Yan still recognized her at a glance. The days when two people get along day and night are really not short, how can they not tell the difference?
Watch her dance like a purple butterfly, sometimes fluttering and sometimes still.
Ji Yan put down the wine in the cup, slowly stood up from the ground, strode into the encirclement of the bonfire, and took a shamisen from the ground next to him. After adjusting the pitch with my fingers, I played with one finger and one string. Everyone slowly stopped, quietly listening to Ji Yan's mysterious performance.
Only one finger was used, only one string was used, but an incomparably beautiful tune was played: when is the bright moon.
Ji Yan closed his eyes lightly and quietly played the tune in his hand, not caring at all about the eyes that were on him.
Xiang Zixi also slowly walked in front of Ji Yan and looked at him quietly. As if feeling the existence of Xiang Zixi, Ji Yan opened his eyes violently and looked at her so fixedly.
Why, why is there always a faint helplessness, a faint sorrow, and a kind of infatuation that he tries to hide in his songs?
Xiang Zixi seems to understand the love hidden in the depths of the song, is he playing it to himself? Could it be that the person he likes is actually himself?
Just when everyone was immersed in Ji Yan's tune, Ji Yan, who was playing, suddenly opened his eyes, and the three-stringed piano in his hand flew out of his hand and went straight out of the bonfire!
Everyone was stunned by Ji Yan's sudden action!
Xiang Zixi knew Ji Yan, she knew that Ji Yan would never do such a thing for no reason, so she immediately jumped to his side and said eagerly: "What's wrong?" ”
Ji Yan replied lightly: "We are surrounded!" ”
Xiang Zixi was shocked when she heard this: "How is it possible? ”
Ji Yan glanced around, used his internal strength, and said in a high-pitched voice: "Everyone, your target should be us, right?" None of the people here have anything to do with this, so please don't implicate them! ”
Sha Hu, Mingzhu and the others widened their eyes all of a sudden, and they didn't know why Ji Yan suddenly said nonsense into the air.
Xiang Zixi took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "The thing is in my hands, if you dare to hurt anyone here, then no one will want to get what is in my hands!" ”
Xiang Zixi raised her hand gently, her palms were clenched tightly, and her face was cold: "You have chased from Yaoguo to Dark Country, all the way to here, presumably everyone doesn't want to die and break the net, right?" If you give me face to Zi, I will naturally give you an explanation! ”
At this time, no matter how dull Shahu and Mingzhu are, they understand that something is really wrong!
Xiang Zixi didn't hesitate for a minute, and took off the clothes on his body on the spot, revealing the slightly thin light blue clothes he wore during the day.
She turned back and bowed deeply to the people present, and said softly, "These people are coming for me!" Sorry, I'm very sorry to disturb you! I will not allow them to do you any harm! ”
Xiang Zixi turned to look at Ji Yan, Ji Yan had already taken off the clothes on his body, took off his mask, and nodded lightly at Xiang Zixi.
"Everyone, there will be a date later!" Ji Yan clenched his fists at everyone present: "Leave here!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Ji Yan hugged Xiang Zixi, and with a slight touch of his feet, he crossed the bonfire and disappeared into the night in full view of everyone.
Mingzhu chased after him for a few steps, but soon he couldn't see the two of them anymore.
Shahu stepped forward, grabbed Mingzhu, and shook his head gently: "Don't chase it!" None of them are ordinary people! Don't bring the calamity to the village! They are doing this to preserve our village! Don't let their good intentions go to waste! ”
"But big brother! They're going to be in danger! Mingzhu said eagerly: "How can we stand by and watch? ”
"Mingzhu, those people are not ordinary people! Ask yourself, how many of us can have the skills of the Ji Yan brothers? Shahu said in a deep voice.
Mingzhu suddenly remembered that in the afternoon, Ji Yan's miraculous knife skills such as flying knives, the bones that were removed so clean that there was no trace of flesh, and also remembered that Ji Yan didn't make the slightest effort to arrange a row of tables in an instant, all the movements were so smooth, never dragging mud and water. Such skills are indeed not ordinary people!
But, however, he was the first man to give himself a feeling called heartbeat!
After Ji Yan held Xiang Zixi and flew out of the bonfire circle, he gently placed Xiang Zixi on the ground, took her hand, and ran quickly on the ground, the purpose was to attract everyone's attention.
Xiang Zixi trustfully handed over all his weight to Ji Yan, and followed him to run wildly in the night.
Suddenly, Ji Yan stopped all of a sudden, and firmly protected Xiang Zixi behind him.
Xiang Zixi's heart sudden, she understood that she was really surrounded this time!
A group of footsteps came up from all around, even if Xiang Zixi didn't know martial arts, he knew that the other party must have a lot of people just by his perception of the sound!
Who is it? I can catch up with myself again in such a short time! Since they successfully threw off those tails in the Qinglou that day, the two of them kept changing places in order to ensure safety, completely leaving those people behind.
However, why was he chased by the other party so easily after only one day of entering the dark country?
Xiang Zixi screamed: "Who are you?" Why does it have to be so aggressive? ”
The group didn't answer, but slowly closed the encirclement.
Xiang Zixi took out the scimitar from his arms, pulled out the scimitar in his hand with a swoop, and pointed straight ahead: "Don't you want to say it?" Well, then you don't want to get what I have! ”
"Xiang Xiang, wait, there are still people!" Ji Yan spoke to stop Xiang Zixi: "There is a person walking towards here!" This person's martial arts are not below me! ”
When Xiang Zixi heard this, his face changed suddenly!
You know, you don't know any martial arts! It's just a set of physical skills that I know! In other words, he is a not very qualified athlete, and the other party is armed to the teeth of a professional soldier! How will this battle be fought? You have a gymnastics guy fight a fanatic religious man covered in grenades and armed with AK47s? Isn't this an international joke?
Ji Yan also said just now, there is a master whose martial arts are not below him at all is walking towards this side, the two of them can practice alone, and the remaining large group of men, let themselves go to each other?
Isn't that?
Moreover, who is the other party, who can gather so many people in such a short time and then find himself smoothly?
As soon as he thought of this, Xiang Zixi's cold sweat slid down his forehead.
Could it be that I am really going to confess here today?
A figure slowly approached Xiang Zixi and Ji Yan, stood still outside that small encirclement, and looked at Xiang Zixi so fixedly.
