Chapter 268: Autumn Harvest Celebration of the Third Year VIII

When Shining Scale and the others stopped by to buy tickets, the green worm made progress, first looking for the few places where the five-person group had played inside and outside the school, and then at the insistence of the green worm, went straight to a small barren mountain outside Changteng Town. The reason why the green worm remembered this was that when the school organized students to visit the building, this was a quarry that had been exhausted, but the five of them coincidentally found a cave three or four meters deep in the corner of the open-pit mine, and judging from the abandoned garbage in the cave, this should be a place for magical warriors to rest.

The green worm racked his brains to think that if he hid with broken scales and didn't want to see people, this was the only place to go, and if he was held hostage, he might also use this place as an alternative location.

And as the so-called hard work pays off, sure enough, the unconscious broken scales were tied up and thrown inside. After the tie was loosened, the little brother who accompanied him first made a simple check to confirm that he was safe and sound, and then turned around the neighborhood and did not see the thief, so he could only return the same way with the broken scales on his back. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief from such a thrilling result, but the green worm always felt that something was wrong, until his eyes fell on the strangulation marks on the broken scale's arm that quickly disappeared without a trace.

Such signs undoubtedly indicate that the time for which the broken scales were tied up was very short, and if we continue to extrapolate on this basis, are there any other possibilities except for the simplest two cases? The green worm took the small hand that the broken scales were hanging down, and the chaotic thoughts in his heart kept churning, until he returned to the door of the rehabilitation center and woke up slowly, there was no conclusion.

The older children who were waiting here were naturally relieved to see that people were found in such a simple way, and they didn't bother to think too much after asking for specific details, after all, everyone was fully ticketed, and going to the show was the top priority. However, the delicate-minded Lilmele did not forget to send someone to the security bureau to report it, and specially told him that it was just a false alarm.

However, when the children came to the troupe again, it was already noon, and everything was ready for the performance, but the sudden surge in the audience caught the troupe off guard, and a chubby, bald blonde middle-aged man at the ticket office wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief while explaining to everyone in a loud voice.

As Lilmoller had predicted, even the well-known theater troupe performing in Blue Python City had only five hundred seats, and the seats offered by this Spitfire theater troupe roaming the outlying areas simply could not meet the needs of Long Vine Town. However, when he was about to check in the door under the envious gaze of others, Shining Scale suddenly blocked the entrance with his crossed arm and turned around to say that he thought of a good opportunity to make money. Although Lilmolle didn't know what a 'scalper' was, he turned his mind a little and guessed the idea of Shining Scales, glanced at Blackstone, and saw that he had no intention of stopping him, so he let Shining Scales mess around.

But as the so-called road is narrow, Shining Scale has just shouted out the ticket price of fifteen copper coins for a first-class seat, and someone on the side of the theater troupe also shouted the news of increasing the number of performances, and the increase is quite bold, it is actually the next 20 days, two performances a day. The crowd that had just gathered on Shining Scale's side suddenly dispersed.

So until he sat on the mound seat in front of the stage, Shining Scale still looked sullen, and stared at Jiao Ming not far away, with a fierce look in his eyes. Just because when the man who claimed to be the owner of the drama troupe announced the news, Jiao Ming and Binglian stood beside him, and looked at the shouting Shining Scale with very strange eyes.

"Alright, don't be angry. Lilmele advised: "It may not be Mr. Jiao Ming's idea. ”

"It must be him!" Shining Scales was indignant.

The attention on this side fell on Jiao Ming, but the eyes of the children such as Qingworm fell on Binglian, falling into a faint state of excitement that ordinary people feel when they see film and television 'stars'. However, everyone knew that Binglian's identity was a young lord, and no one rushed forward.

But whether it is dissatisfaction or gratification, it is quickly replaced by curiosity about novelty dramas, and even gradually attracted by the plot and completely forgets the enemy or the big man sitting not far away.

In all fairness, despite the limitations and various objective factors, this theatrical performance is still attentive.

The plot is an old-fashioned love story between a young magician and a princess of the kingdom, but the actors' performances and line skills are quite good, and even the lines are translated into the crocodile collar dialect, and successfully retain a certain charm. In terms of props, of course, there are wooden swords and wooden armor, and the carvings are exquisite, but judging from the metallic luster that shines on them, there are obviously earth-based mages in the theater troupe.

When the curtain is changed, it is not a pee spot, and the interspersed burlesque skits and juggling performances are also eye-opening to the audience, unlike the free performances when advertising yesterday, this is to take out all the housekeeping skills. And there is also an audience interaction session, but the host who also serves as the narrator was frightened by the abnormal scales, and finally chose an honest child to complete the performance.

Still, in the final act, there are some interesting things happening. According to the plot, after the young magician and the princess of the kingdom have overcome many obstacles, they finally get married and hold a grand ball in the 'royal palace' to end with a big ball. In this dance performance, there were more than a dozen scantily clad beautiful young male and female dancers, and all of them hung small signs with numbers on their waists.

The implication is obvious, people who are experienced and thoughtful about this kind of thing will naturally ask the staff and get a satisfactory answer, while those who don't think about it will only ignore these small details. However, while passively waiting, there is also the action of actively soliciting business, and according to experience, these beautiful dancers will use their unique eyes to select and invite guests who are likely to spend further on the stage to perform together. But when they saw the first row of doll heads, they were all at a loss, and the two men and women who wanted to invite Binglian and Jiao Ming were stopped by the panicked boss of the drama troupe, drawing a slightly unsatisfactory end to the performance.

Almost the end of the show, the audience applauded like thunder, and when the audience dispersed, the second round of performances began directly, although according to the calculation of time, the second third of the plot will be affected by the sky, but in the case of the Ice Lotus Young Lord generously providing electric lighting, everything is not a problem.

But the little ones who said that they were satisfied with leaving the drama troupe, came to the Shitai District, where the crowd gradually gathered to participate in the autumn harvest celebration, and couldn't wait to spoil it unconsciously, and the friends who had no similar experience listened to it with relish, and they didn't know what kind of blow it would bring to the future viewing experience.

And the green worm, who came back from the plot, finally mustered up the courage to break the embarrassment, and once again asked Broken Scale about the morning's experience and the results of the five iron coins. But seeing that the broken scales were scattered, his eyes wandered, and it was better to pretend to be confused in the morning, so he just sighed. After a long silence, Broken Scale finally expressed that he wanted to make up the five iron coins with his own labor, which was a disguised acknowledgment of the fact that the money would not be returned.

The resolute look of the broken scales made the green worm very unfamiliar, and his heart was even more conflicted. On the one hand, I always feel that this attitude of bad debts is a bit ruthless, but five iron coins is not a number that can be laughed at for my group of children, but in terms of purchasing power, Lan Lan, Sixty-four, and his three children from poor backgrounds can use it to make their relatives eat a rare meal of meat. On the other hand, he felt that although the broken scales were not as reckless as his cousin, his strength was even worse. So I didn't know how to react for a while.

But the two people in the corner of the crowd were noticed by Lilmoller and directly guessed the core of the problem, walked over with a smile on the corner of their mouths, took out five iron coins from their pockets and stuffed them into Broken Scale's hand, and whispered: "This is what I borrowed from you, and I will pay back five copper coins in ten years." ”

Broken Scale subconsciously wanted to refuse, but how could it be the opponent of a magic warrior in terms of strength, the fingers that were held couldn't be stretched out at all, and then he looked at Lil Mole's gentle smile full of sugar, and his eyes turned red and he threw himself into his arms and cried again like last night.

After the broken scales were pacified, Lilmolle began to enclose the land with the older children with some complacency about successfully recruiting the younger brothers. The Autumn Harvest Celebration, as a traditional festival of the crocodile collar magic warriors, is not open to ordinary people, on the one hand, for the welfare of the flowing water mat, and on the other hand, for the safety issue. However, under the leadership of Binglian and Jiao Ming, with the establishment of a large factory, the status of magicians in other departments has gradually improved, so naturally there is no reason to exclude them, so they have to divide a special area to prevent magic warriors who have drunk too much from inadvertently causing injuries. The situation of the children is similar, and they are naturally treated the same, but last year, because the older children were studying abroad, they missed the opportunity to build their prestige, and this year they are the best.

When the earth platform on the east side of the stone platform area was built by magic and fenced, the sky was red. As the young lord, Binglian presided over the ceremony on the largest stone platform, following the custom, first the year-end summary, then the prayer ceremony, and finally the opening competition and fireworks show, when the process was completed, the audience cheered in the red light of the setting sun.

Fighting and eating meat, drinking magic addiction potions, and the noise under the earth platform was even worse than yesterday, which made the little guy who came to Changteng Town this spring open his eyes again, after all, the impact of this noise is very different from that of the theater troupe. However, when faced with unlimited free running water seats, he was also reminded not to compete with young magicians and warriors such as Tie Ye, and the amount of food supported himself to death.

At the same time, on the largest stone platform, Lady Purple Feather screamed to attract everyone's attention, and loudly announced the start of the wedding of the young lord of the crocodile leader, Binglian, and the honorary viscount of the crocodile leader, Jiao Ming, and everyone cheered again.

The green worm was immersed in the roast chicken legs, and it was only at this time that he remembered that there was such a great event, but after a moment of stunned effort, the position with a better perspective had been occupied. It was too dangerous under the table, so I couldn't go naturally, so I simply stacked the empty plates on the table, and then looked left and right to make sure that no one was paying attention, and then stood on the table. But I didn't look at it a few times, but I suddenly felt that the table under my feet shook, and there was already an extra person around me, and when I turned my head, it was the little face with broken scales and red fluttering.

It was probably the first time in his life that the all-you-can-eat green worm suddenly felt that the flashing scales were very beautiful, and thinking about everything around him gradually faded away, only the girl's side face was engraved in the deepest part of his mind.

"What are you looking at?" Broken Scale nudged the green worm, and at first he was a little proud of being stared at, but after a long time, it was shyness that finally prevailed. But something went wrong with this push, and the unsuspecting and unresponsive green worm stumbled, although the table was not high, but it was also very dangerous to plant it like this. Broken Scales stretched out his hands in shock, and the green worm subconsciously pulled his arms, and the two of them clasped their hands together, and at the same time, their bodies quickly approached under the hard pull, and the other party's face also expanded rapidly in the field of vision. However, due to the early development of girls, the broken scales are half a head higher than the green worms, and the welfare green worms are not blessed to kiss, but the chin is attached to the girl's collarbone, and the nasal cavity is full of the unique smell of the girl's body, as well as the soft touch on the forehead.

Broken Scale's face was flushed, but it was a deliberately exaggerated spit, as if there was something dirty on the green worm's forehead. The green worm's lips moved, wanting to say something, but his brain was blank, and he only held his hand a little tighter.

"Let go. Broken Scale said softly.

"Not loose. ”

"You're pinching me. ”

"That's not loose either. Green worm insisted.

The ambiguous feelings between the two took root in the first stage and germinated in the second stage, but the attention of the two was quickly attracted by the strange situation in the center of the field. From the surrounding discussions, it can be known that the two who were supposed to complete the last step of the wedding ceremony like marionettes suddenly stood still, as if they were saying something.

This situation is like the situation on Earth, as if the host shouted 'husband and wife worship each other', and the two of them stared at each other, or when the pastor asked if they would like to, the newlyweds were silent. How can this not let the imagination of the people involved in the wedding run wild.

But before they could wait, the groom, dressed in a strange costume, smiled and took out a silver ring from his arms, and the bride flew up and kicked the silver ring into the air.

"What's going on?" muttered the green worm, but couldn't get an answer. On the largest stone platform in the center of everyone's attention, the puzzling things continued to develop, the groom stared at the bride with a big smile, raised his hand unhurriedly, and the silver ring in mid-air instantly returned his hand in a subtle spatial fluctuation. The bride shouted out something, but when she received no reply, she did not hesitate, and out of nowhere drew a short blade, drew a perfect arc, and in the flash of the knife, the groom's left hand, holding the silver ring, was cut from the elbow.

This situation has obviously completely exceeded the bottom line of everyone's 'waiting to see what happens', and several figures flew on stage, or caught the broken arm and prepared to install it back directly, or snatched the short blade from the bride's hand, but more of an inquiry and persuasion, in short, it was a mess.

"The young lord seems to be crying. Broken Scale said softly.

"No, that's the Young Lord. The green worm could no longer see the situation on the stone platform clearly, but subconsciously refuted.

Soon, everyone on the stone platform looked left and right as if they had lost something, but the strangely dressed bride was sitting on the ground, holding a severed arm in her right hand, which was also her right hand, and judging by the blood-stained sleeves, it was the groom's. As for the groom himself, he is nowhere to be found.
