The two walked forward hand in hand, and the first performance they encountered was a long queue of sugar painting performances, and most of the team was parents with children. Sugar paintings are paintings made of sugar, which are both ornamental and edible, and are children's favorites.

"Uncle, make me a sugar horse!" A little girl about three years old in front of the technician pleaded.

"Okay, I'll do it for you." I saw that the technician melted the sugar into yellow and transparent dilute sugar, held a long spoon containing hot syrup, and after a little concentration, I saw that he was confident, and between his wrists, wisps of hot sugar were sprinkled, and in one go, he made a crystal clear golden galloping horse, lifelike, as if he was about to take off.

"Wow, it's great, it's great, I want it too." The children scrambled to shout.

The technician who made the sugar painting glued a bamboo stick to the neck of the galloping horse while it was hot, handed the sugar painting to a little girl, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you have it all." What's the next animal? ”

"I want a little fish." "I want a rabbit." "I want a puppy." "I want a flower." ……

"It's my turn, I want a Monkey King." A boy at the front shouted.

"Okay, let's be Monkey King now." The technician replied as he began to melt the sugar. Soon, a sugar painting of Monkey King offering peaches with both hands was made. Then, according to the requirements of the audience, the sugar painting technician made a beautiful sugar painting.

It was Song Yao and Wu Zeyu's turn, and the two asked for a mountain antelope and a sugar painting of a flying dragon respectively. Song Yao tasted the antelope candy painting in his hand, Wu Zeyu looked at the golden and crystal flying dragon candy painting, completely reluctant to put his mouth down, and was teased by Song Yao: "Hurry up and eat, there are so many tourists here, be careful not to stick to other people's clothes for a while." I like to see it, and I will take you to the small alley to find it in the future, and I can often meet people who do sugar paintings. ”

The two walked forward with the flow of people, encountered interesting guessing lantern riddle activities, guessed two each, continued to move forward after getting the lantern riddle prizes, and encountered the hard wire weaving art performance, Chinese knot art performance and dough sculpture art performance, Wu Zeyu had to stop everywhere to appreciate carefully, and finally arrived at the Yellow Crane Tower, just in time for a wide circular venue in the middle of the lion dance and dragon dance performance.

The lion and dragon dance is a traditional folk dance with a long history in China, which has been used to pray for peace and a good harvest. I saw two dragons and two male lions of the nine-section dragon jumping and tossing and turning in the hands of the dragon dancer and the lion dancer. In front of each big dragon, there is a person in front of the rod to guide, in the music and drums, dancing arbitrarily, the big ball at the top of the rod swings around, the dragon head chases the big ball, the dragon body then or cruising or flying in the air, sometimes like a golden dragon flying and jumping after the pearl, sometimes like a dragon into the sea to ride the wind and waves.

Each lion resembles a real lion in appearance, dancing with two lion dancers who are wrapped tightly in lion quilts and wearing lion pants and gold claw hoof boots of the same color as the lion's body, making it impossible to identify the lion dancer's body from the outside. One of the lion dancers stands and dances the lion's head, while the other bends down and dances the lion's body and tail. There is also a lion usher dressed as a warrior of the Song Dynasty, holding a hydrangea in his hand to tease the lion. Under the guidance of the lion leader, the two male lions performed actions such as tumbling, jumping, climbing, worshipping, walking plum blossom piles, stepping on the botanes, and drilling steel rings, adding a lot of joy and excitement to the festival, and the audience watched the sky.

After watching the lion and dragon dance performance, the two began to wait in line to climb the Yellow Crane Tower. At the entrance, each received a free New Year's "Fu" card. Standing at the foot of the Yellow Crane Tower, looking up at the majestic building that exudes the charm of traditional Chinese culture. The five-story main building is covered with yellow glazed tiles, and the roofs of each floor of the building overlap each other, and countless warped corners fly in the air, like the wings of a flying crane ready to fly. Entering the main building, I saw that the drawings inside and outside each floor were dominated by cranes, with moire, flowers, dragons and phoenixes and other patterns. There is a compartment at every two floors of the Yellow Crane Tower, forming an architectural pattern of "inner nine and outer five" symbolizing the "respect of the Ninth Five". The two of them climbed the Yellow Crane Tower with everyone, and saw the bronze casting Yellow Crane shape outside the Yellow Crane Tower, the victory like the pagoda, the Baiyun Pavilion, the elephant pagoda, the stele corridor, the archway, the Xuan corridor, the pavilion, the mountain gate and other buildings set off the main building of the Yellow Crane Tower particularly magnificently. Standing on the side of the railing and looking into the distance, the north of the building is the rolling Yangtze River flowing endlessly, the left and right of the building and the south of the building look out, the urban areas of Wuchang and Hankou come into view. The main building and the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge at the foot of the mountain reflect each other, the scenery of the three towns of Wuhan is in full view, in the noisy sky of gongs and drums, the experience of the rolling Yangtze River water all the way to the sky, the two of them suddenly born in the chest of "a glance at the mountains and small" majestic spirit, and as if their souls were suddenly purified, is infiltrating and blending with the universe nature, can coexist with the sun and the moon!

Coming down from the Yellow Crane Tower, the sky is already dark, and there is no time to see other scenic spots. Although Wu Zeyu was reluctant to give up, he seemed to see that Song Yao's leg was about to be tired and broken, so he decided to persuade Song Yao to go home first. After shopping all day, not to mention Song Yao, even he was tired and had a sore back.

After arriving home, Song Yao posted a photo of playing in the Yellow Crane Tower in the circle of friends, and ten minutes later, she received a message from Su Yuhan, Su Yuhan instructed Song Yao to immediately prepare a place for her and Wang Qiang to live, they have bought a high-speed rail ticket from Shijiazhuang to Wuhan at night, and will arrive in Hankou at about 11:30 that night, and they will be able to see Song Yao and Wu Zeyu pick up the station when they leave the station, and they will board the Yellow Crane Tower early tomorrow morning. Song Yao hurriedly replied: "I believe you are a big head, don't bring such a deception." ”

Su Yuhan didn't speak, but immediately sent the two of them ticket orders and bank card deduction notices, as well as the change information that the ticket from Shijiazhuang to Wenzhou was changed to depart from Wuhan. Wu Zeyu laughed horribly, he couldn't imagine that Wang Qiang, who had always been steady, would be hurriedly abducted to Wuhan by Su Yuhan in the middle of the night on the third day of the Lunar New Year. It is estimated that Zhao Lihong was also tossed by Su Yuhan and Wang Qiang, since the ticket was booked by Zhao Lihong, then she had to operate the change herself.

"You two guys are too anxious to come tomorrow? I'm going to be exhausted and collapsed all day! "Song Yao hated these two people who were blind to death.

"Don't talk nonsense, get ready to pick up the station. When we leave Hankou Station, we will see you and Lao Wu picking up the station there. Also, the hotel should be booked for us as soon as possible. Su Yuhan gave the order unceremoniously.

"Got it. I'm going to book a hotel, I don't have time to talk, I'm offline. After Song Yao sent the voice, she opened the "xx travel" APP client on her mobile phone, and first booked two standard rooms in the xx hotel near her home, so that she was at ease and went to the restaurant with Wu Zeyu to accompany her parents to dinner.

"Yaoyao, what are you busy with? called you for a long time and asked you to come over for dinner, but you didn't move, so Xiao Wu kept waiting for you. Song Yao's mother reproached.

Wu Zeyu hurriedly said: "Auntie, I'm fine, I can eat whenever I want." ”

Song Yao explained to her mother: "Ah Yu is coming to Wuhan tonight, and I was helping her book a hotel just now. ”

"Oh, Ah Yu is coming. Then you don't need to book a hotel, your bed is so big, wouldn't it be nice for her to squeeze a bed with you? It is inconvenient to stay in a hotel and eat. "Song Yao's mother has been to Song Yao's school several times and knows every classmate in Song Yao's dormitory.

"It's not Ah Yu alone, but her boyfriend Brother Qiang also came over. There are too many people, it is inconvenient to live at home, and they are also restrained, so I booked two standard rooms, and Lao Wu and I also accompanied them to live in a hotel outside. Song Yao saw that her mother was staring at her when she heard this, and hurriedly added, "I know, Mom, don't worry!" Ah Yu and I live in one room, and Lao Wu and Brother Qiang live in another room. ”

Song Yao's mother breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine, but let's try to eat at home." These days the unit is on holiday, and I don't have anything to do, so I'll cook something delicious for you at home, and you go home on time to eat, ah! ”

"Mom, leave us alone. Ah Yu has always wanted to come to Wuhan to have a good visit and taste Wuhan food. She and Brother Qiang will both work in Beijing in the future, and they will not have the opportunity to come to Wuhan together in the future. This time, I will accompany them to eat and walk around, and I may not eat at home. ”

"Okay, I won't care about you, you accompany them to have a good time in Wuhan for a few days."

Song Yao and Wu Zeyu looked at each other and smiled. Song Yao's parents also shook their heads funny, these children are too capable of tossing, and they are about to go to Wenzhou, but they all came to Wuhan to meet temporarily.

After dinner, Song Yao slept for two hours, then got up and packed his luggage with Wu Zeyu, drove his father's Magotan to the hotel first, and immediately drove to Hankou Railway Station to pick up the station.
