The sound of firecrackers, the laughter in the crowd, and the sound of crackling and slapping, the lively atmosphere set off a small high. Tide. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, the guests at the table also got up happily one after another, automatically lined up in a long line, formed a large circle around the table, and danced and sang songs and marched forward.
It doesn't seem to be the custom of the New Year, but the custom of the folk to celebrate the beginning of the spring. If you look closely, there are many long, fluttering flags around you, which are painted with various patterns such as swallows, willows, flowers, birds, butterflies, grasshoppers, etc., and many of the guests are also tied with silk ribbons with patterns on their foreheads, which seem to be the legendary "spring flags".
According to the custom, there will be a herald dressed as a rooster to lead a procession to announce the beginning of spring, and pray for a good year and a good harvest in autumn.
But when I looked at it, I was shocked. Isn't the herald at the head of the line a real rooster?
The big rooster is holding a gong in his "hand", and "dangdang" is beating, and there are people with drums, cymbals, and locks behind him.
Looking at the team again, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. It turns out that the guests who drink during this banquet are called a strange shape, cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, everything!
Among them, there are animals with clothes, animals without clothes, and creatures who can't tell what they are. Of course, there is also a human in the team who looks quite normal in ancient costumes, and they are all quite good-looking, but at this moment, I am suddenly unsure whether they are human or not.
I couldn't help but look at the green-clothed beauty beside me, the woman's eyes were like autumn waves, with a hint of a smile on her face, I don't know what to think. But with a smile on her face, I could somehow feel a hint of sadness in her.
The "people" who are having fun here are so unusual, this woman, I'm afraid she is not human either!
I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say it. This woman is so beautiful, and her temperament deeply attracts me, and it always makes me feel that even if she is not a human, but a monster or something, she should not be harmful.
"Why are you stunned, the master said to let you go, why don't you go? Master, can I eat him? The panther said in a muffled voice.
"Oh, why do you always think about eating people, today is such a good day, don't drink and sing, but here you spoil the scenery!"
I was startled, only to realize that there was a green peacock with flowers and branches around me.
The peacock was unclothed and didn't show anything human-like, but it was more beautiful than any ordinary peacock I've ever seen. Its feathers, the green part is like jade, the blue part is like a gemstone, and the edge of each feather is like a craftsman's delicate drawing, inlaid with wisps of gold.
However, this peacock is talking to people, and it is the voice of a young man, and the voice is gentle and charming, and if you listen to the voice alone, you will definitely think that it is the wind of a noble family. Flowing Childe.
"Ahh
"Why is it none of my business, this spring feast, but for my name, how can you be allowed to mess up here?"
I saw that the two of them were about to quarrel over my matter, so I hurriedly stepped forward to mediate.
"Two ...... Two big brothers, please don't be angry, I'll go over! ”
A green peacock named "Lichun" laughs as it eats.
"Human, why aren't you afraid?"
Afraid? All of a sudden, I felt a little ridiculous.
To be honest, I don't know why I'm not scared. I don't know what force made me see this, but my body told me that there was nothing to be afraid of, because my body itself didn't have a fear response.
What are you afraid of? I have nothing now, no relatives, no home, no place to stay, and I don't know where the future lies. Now, someone invited me to sit down in the warm spring breeze, drink, enjoy the flowers, sing, dance, isn't that a happy thing?
What are these people who invite me, and what does it matter?
"Human, what's your name?"
"Lu Shining"
"Shining, let's go, let's drink!"
The peacock slapped my back with its wings, like human buddies flapping each other twice, but it felt weird to be hit by the wings. With a wine bowl in hand, I followed behind the peacock and joined the dance queue that looked like a square dance.
At the persuasion of the peacock, I drank the wine in the bowl. The sake is a turquoise liquid with a crisp smell. The sake seems to be made in an ancient way, and it tastes different from any modern liquor, and has a refreshing sweetness.
After drinking it, the body is warm and comfortable. Although the alcohol content of this wine is not high, I still feel like my whole body is floating after a bowl of wine.
I had never heard the songs they were singing before, and they didn't sing well, and I didn't know where the tune had gone, so I started singing along, and I walked forward lightly as I sang. I don't know who suddenly shoved a handful of wicker into my hand, and I sang while waving the wicker, and finally danced.
The spring breeze blows on the cheeks, with a faint floral fragrance, which is refreshing. In a trance, I seemed to see the world becoming vibrant, the flowers in spring, the wheat waves in summer, the fruits in autumn, the snow in winter, and there was a kind of initial power sprouting deep in my heart. I sang and danced, leaving everything in reality behind. For a long time, there was no such simple ease, and I only hope that even if it is just for one night.
A new dish was added to the table, which was fried spring rolls and four-color spring dishes. Somebody stuffed a white radish into my mouth, and I chewed it hard, choking on the sweet and spicy juice and coughing, and somehow there was a burst of laughter around me.
Before I knew it, I drank and drank too much. The strange friends around were friendly, but they looked more and more blurry. Later, I somehow fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already dawn. I struggled to get up with my heavy head, but fortunately, although my head was a little heavy, it didn't hurt at all, so it was obvious that I drank good wine yesterday.
I looked around and was surprised to see that I was sleeping on a leather couch in a booth. On the opposite side is the window, and it is still snowing outside.
Was everything last night a dream?
"Hey, he's awake!"
The voice was gentle, a little familiar, and as soon as I looked up, I was met with a shockingly handsome face.
It was a man in his early twenties, with a white shirt and a black waistcoat, dressed as a waiter. That face was so delicate that it was almost indistinguishable from male and female. Moreover, the smile in his eyes and the corners of his mouth unconsciously carried a hint of charm, and even I, a man, had my heart pounding a few times.
"It's really useless, how much did I drink, it's already noon. Such a guy, what are you doing with him? ”
The speaker sat at a table with an impatient look on his face, rubbing the glass in his hand with a soft white cloth.
The young man had very short black hair and slightly pale eyes, but his skin was a healthy wheat color. He was dressed in the same waiter costume as the beautiful man just now, but he was not dressed well, and his neckline was torn open, revealing a metal tag tied with a leather rope.
Behind him was a tall bar, behind which sat a woman quietly. The woman has big black wavy hair and wears a cherry red dress, which wraps her wonderful body and shows off her curves, which makes people can't help but think about it.
The woman lazily brought a thin cigarette between her plump lips, which were coated with red lipstick, and took a gentle puff before exhaling a faint puff of smoke.
Her phoenix eyes squinted at me, and a cinnabar tear mole on her cheek was charming. Feel.
