Chapter 694: Summer Festival Experiences (I)
The moonlight in summer seems to be extraordinarily bright, and the faint light is like a light veil, fluttering and sprinkling, reflecting on the surface of the river, like sprinkling a layer of broken silver, shining brightly. In such moonlight, the shadows of people are also very clear, and the trees on the mountain hold their long dresses, as if dancing on the hillside.
In the distance, among the undulating mountains, there was a long string of firelight composed of people slowly spreading from the foot of the mountain, and the writhing snake bent upward.
This is a procession from Fox Village, in order to celebrate the Fox God Festival, since noon, it has been walking for nearly eight or nine hours, and at this moment it has finally arrived at its destination.
"Oh, is this the Fox God Sacrifice?"
Kong Zhe and the others were also one of the members of this team, and at this moment, he looked at the crowd around him like a tide, and couldn't help but exclaim.
The current location is a shrine about a few dozen kilometers away from Fox Village, and there are no villages around, but at this time, the vicinity of this shrine has been filled with various stalls by animal people who have arrived in advance. In addition to various food stalls, there are stalls selling masks, divination, rings, throwing darts, etc., as well as the most spectacular, long line-like floats and lanterns lit up all night along the sides of the road......
Young people dressed in local costumes crowded the streets, and beast-eared girls wearing ornate belts and red high-soled clogs walked in pairs.
There was a sound of laughter all around, and Kong Zhe roughly counted that the number of people who came to attend this summer festival tonight was at least more than 10,000.
With so many people pouring up this hill together, you can imagine how crowded it is. Fortunately, there are special rules on the side of the shrine, and under the maintenance of order by a large number of people, pedestrians can pour in batches, so that the scene will not get out of control.
"Wow!"
Lily poked her head out from behind Kong Zhe and kept looking around, her eyes full of novelty.
Such a lively scene, she has never had the opportunity to see on earth.
"Well, it seems that this fox god festival is indeed the largest festival in the local area, and this number is not far behind the year-end festival of the blood clan......"
The dragon also nodded and sighed on the side.
"It's lively, but isn't there a shrine in the village? There is also a festival street dedicated to it. So why did you come all the way here? ”
Kong Zhe pressed the brim of his hat on his head and asked.
Although they had already revealed their identities in Fox Village, after all, there were not many people they saw at that time, and the number of people at the festival was not the same as the current number of people, so after setting off, in order to reduce trouble, the three of them put on their hoods again.
"The shrine in the village has been abandoned......"
The little fox in front of him stopped, glanced back at the three of them, pointed around, and said, "And, look! It's not just the people of Fox Village who come to participate in the Fox God Festival, the Fox God Festival is the prosperity of the entire Loki, and the eight major villages will come to participate as long as they have the conditions, and the street in the Fox Village alone can't be put down at all. So the meeting place had to be moved outside. ”
"I see."
Kong Zhe nodded. As they spoke, the three of them had already entered the group of vendors.
If there are the most vendors here, it is undoubtedly the food stalls.
As soon as the three of them walked in, the tip of their noses was filled with the aroma of various foods.
As far as the eye can see, there are golden and crispy bamboo shoot skewers grilled, rice noodle ramen sprinkled with various condiments, fish meatballs coated in sauce, and teppanyaki yakisoba sizzling on a stir-fry spatula...... Every one of them is appetizing.
From the moment she entered, Lily's eyes were fixed on the food, and she couldn't stop swallowing.
On the wizard's hat above her head, the spider was watching through a gap, and like Lily, she was almost swept away by food.
"What, do you want to eat?"
Kong Zhe looked at her and couldn't help but chuckle and asked.
"Uh-huh."
Lily hurriedly wiped her saliva, nodded repeatedly, and looked at him expectantly.
"Don't worry, I'll get you enough to eat later."
"Bang!"
At this moment, there was a sudden explosion from a nearby location, attracting the attention of the surrounding crowd.
Kong Zhe also looked over there, it was a small stall on the side of the street, the stall owner was fiddling with a few cans on the ground, and he was still shouting at the pedestrians around him.
"Ah, yes, it's fireworks!"
The little fox immediately called out, but he seemed to be frightened by the sound just now, and he who had been walking in front of him actually jumped behind Kong Zhe, and even his body naturally changed into a fox.
"Oh? Firework? Are there fireworks in this world too? ”
Kong Zhe was stunned and asked subconsciously.
"Of course, even Loki has such a thing as firecrackers, but the name of fireworks is still known from human mouths, and the stall owner should have bought goods from the city that never sleeps, which is a high-end product, I asked before, one will cost twenty copper!"
The little fox seemed to be very afraid of the so-called 'fireworks', and Kong Zhe clearly felt that his body was still trembling when he introduced it.
Take a closer look, the jar in the vendor's hand is indeed a firework, but Kong Zhe quickly recognized that the fireworks can never be called the word 'advanced', on the contrary, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most primary.
But even so, the fireworks were a rarity for Loki's people, and the stall was quickly filled with a crowd of people pointing fingers and asking for prices.
Kong Zhe looked at this scene and his heart moved. There is also some stock in his ring for fireworks, or the batch of materials that he snatched in the Broken Bridge Mall, the quantity is not much, but it is definitely a high-end product, at least much better than the one that was sold.
According to what the little fox said just now, a tube of fireworks like his can be sold for twenty copper. Then I can definitely multiply these by myself. He was worried that Loki didn't have the currency here, so he could use it for some money for an emergency.
Thinking of this, Kong Zhe walked over to the vendor and explained to him that he had plans to sell him better fireworks.
After the two negotiated, sure enough, the vendor looked at him suspiciously, obviously not believing his words.
Helpless, Kong Zhe had no choice but to take out a bundle of fireworks first and light them on the spot to make a demonstration.
Behind him, the little fox was still curious about what Kong Zhe was fiddling with when he squatted on the ground, but immediately after that, he saw flames spewing out from the round box.
The little fox was startled fiercely, whined, and crawled away from Kong Zhe's side.
"Boom, boom......"
With a loud bang, beautiful flowers suddenly burst into the sky.
It is completely different from the small fireworks just now, some are like colorful flower umbrellas, and some are like flawless pearls, one after another, brilliant and dreamlike.
"Wow, this, this is ......"
"It's beautiful!"
"It's so beautiful!"
"Yes, I've seen one of these fireworks once in the city that never sleeps."
"This is the real fireworks!"
……
The crowd around them was amazed.
Even the little fox who had just been scared out of tears was looking up at the beautiful scenery in the sky blankly at the moment, and was speechless with his long mouth.
"Wow, brother, look at it well!"
Lily grabbed Kong Zhe's arm excitedly and jumped. Not long after she left Reimeng City, it was the first time she had seen fireworks in reality, and she was naturally full of novelty.
"Huh...... Here, this guest, can you come here to talk about it in detail! ”
At this time, the owner of the stall of the rat clan was suddenly not calm, and hurriedly stepped forward and pointed to the open space on the side of the road, rubbing his hands and showing a flattering smile to Kong Zhe.
"Well said."
As a businessman, looking at the indifferent smile on Kong Zhe's face, the vendor knew very well that he would definitely be slaughtered next.
But he is also helpless, the rules of the city that never sleeps are strict, and his own goods are just resold scraps, who makes people have better goods in their hands.
A small businessman like him can make some money this time a year, and he can't let others smash the field like this, so he has to buy this product now if he doesn't want to.
Fortunately, Kong Zhe was in a hurry to use the money, but he didn't bother him much about the price. After a few minutes of talking on the side of the road, the two quickly settled on the price.
A few minutes later, Kong Zhe returned with a large bag of copper, as many as 20,000 pieces, which was definitely enough at least during their time at Loki.
On the other side, after suppressing the pain in his heart, the vendor quickly returned to the stall with a smile and a new fireworks. This time, his booth was quickly filled with people again, and the new fireworks were rushed by the crowd as soon as they were launched.
"Huh? Why does my brother want to sell them all, I also want to play with fireworks? ”
As soon as Kong Zhe came back, Lily immediately ran over and complained.
"Lily, don't say that......"
Long shook his head and smiled on the side, and raised his finger and said: "Fireworks are such things, you can put them yourself, and you can put them for others, anyway, today's annual gathering, the people who buy them will definitely use them immediately, since you can see them later, it is naturally more cost-effective to sell them for some money." ”
"Oh, I see."
Lily tapped her palm, and it looked like she had suddenly realized.
"Don't worry, I didn't sell them all, I left some for you!"
Kong Zhe shook his head amusedly and handed her a fairy stick. This thing is also called hand-held fireworks, and when lit, it burns violently, but the temperature is very low, it is beautiful and not dangerous, and it is perfect for children.
"Wow!"
Lily's eyes lit up instantly. With her playful nature, she quickly saw the use of this thing.
A few minutes later, the screams of the little fox like a pig were heard at the festival.
"Ahh You, you guy, stop, it's dangerous! ”
The little fox's cold hairs stood up all over his body, and he ran desperately through the crowd, looking back as he ran, and behind him, Lily, who was holding a firework in each hand, was giggling and running after him. Wherever the two passed, sparks and lightning all the way.
For the little fox, after all, he still retains some of the habits of a wild beast, and this kind of thing with fire and thunder is the most feared in his bones.
