Chen Xiaomo walked slowly into the eastern capital, only to see the gongs and drums in the city, the firecrackers rang out, the street was full of people, the sound of selling was endless, all kinds of snack bars and entertainment venues were everything, a lively and extraordinary scene, it seems that this annual temple fair is really worthy of its name.

Chen Xiaomo enjoyed the lively scene as he walked, and a small stall attracted his attention. It was a small stall of candy sellers, and there were many sugar figures on it, including beautiful fairies, mighty generals, vicious devils, and sugar men in the shape of small animals, which were really lifelike and vivid.

"Boss, how much does this sugar man cost?" Chen Xiaomo asked as he picked up a tiger-shaped sugar man.

"The sugar people here, big or small, are a tael of silver each. The boss replied in a heavier Kanwai accent.

"A tael of silver! This is too expensive, can it be cheaper?" asked Chen Xiaomo.

"My sugar man here is famous, and he will never bargain!" the boss refused. With that, the boss went on to greet the other customers.

Chen Xiaomo stood in place and thought: "It's not easy for parents to earn a few bucks, it's not worth buying a candy man for a tael of silver, so forget it." Then, Chen Xiaomo left in a huff.

Leaving the candy seller's stall, Chen Xiaomo was attracted by an acrobatic troupe in front of him. I saw that the man took a sip of wine, and then sprayed the wine in his mouth into the burning torch, and the flame on the torch suddenly became several times larger, attracting the applause of the onlookers. Then another man came out, and saw him holding seven apples in his hand, and throwing them into the air in turn, but in his hands they were like living creatures, tossing up and down, but none of them fell. Then, the members of the acrobatic troupe performed stunts such as chest smashing boulders and fatal throwing knives, which won a lot of applause.

Leaving the acrobatic troupe, Chen Xiaomo continued to walk forward. Unconsciously, I have stepped into the snack street, and the snacks here are really dazzling, with all kinds of meatballs, all kinds of barbecue, all kinds of pastries, in short, there are all kinds of snacks from all over the world, which provoked Chen Xiaomo to take a few more looks. But Chen Xiaomo still didn't buy any snacks, he thought: "Let's find my mother first!"

Chen Xiaomo walked straight forward, but saw a large group of people surrounding a small stall, and Chen Xiaomo squeezed in curiously. It turns out that this stall is playing rings, one or two silver can buy three bamboo rings, and the bamboo rings can be used to set various prizes on the ground, but there is a certain distance between the player and the prize, and the bamboo ring has a certain elasticity with the ground, so it is really not easy to trap a prize.

Chen Xiaomo looked at the prizes on the ground, there were really a lot of good things, including crystal cups, jade hairpins, jade pendants, aged wine, knee pads, and beads made of stone. This bead is also strange, although it is stony, but the surface is faintly blue.

Many people rushed to throw, but none of them hit.

"Boss, give me three bamboo rings. As he spoke, Chen Xiaomo handed a tael of silver to the owner of the stall.

"Okay!" the boss greeted him with a smile and handed over the three bamboo rings to Chen Xiaomo's hands.

Chen Xiaomo took the bamboo ring in his hand and glanced at the prize on the ground again. Thinking of his father Zhang San, who often worked in the fields and was tired with a sore back and legs, Chen Xiaomo was sad.

Hearing only a "swish", Chen Xiaomo threw out the first bamboo ring, which was impartial and just on top of the raised part of the knee pads.

"Good!" rang out from the crowd around him.

The boss sighed lightly and reluctantly took the knee pads to Chen Xiaomo.

Then, Chen Xiaomo put the second bamboo ring on the jade hosta, which must be very beautiful on the head of his mother Wang Cuihua.

The people around him applauded again. The boss said secretly: "Today is considered to have met a master." However, with so many people watching, he couldn't pay the bill casually, so he had to hand the jade hosta to Chen Xiaomo obediently.

There was still a bamboo circle left, Chen Xiaomo looked at the prize again, and finally locked his eyes on the crystal cup.

Chen Xiaomo took a deep breath, and then threw the bamboo ring, seeing that the bamboo ring was about to fall on the crystal cup, but a strange wind from nowhere suddenly blew the bamboo ring crooked, and the bamboo ring was not set on the crystal cup, but instead covered the inconspicuous stone bead.

Seeing such a result, Chen Xiaomo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, but the boss was so happy that he almost jumped up from the ground, because the price of the crystal cup was much more expensive than the stone beads.

"Boss......" Chen Xiaomo shouted.

The boss was excited, and asked with sincerity: "Little brother, do you still want to play?"

Chen Xiaomo glanced at the boss and saw that he was sweating with fright. Chen Xiaomo smiled and said, "No, I won't play anymore, you give me the beads." ”

The boss breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly took the beads and offered them with both hands, and then said duplicitously: "Welcome little brother to come again next time." ”

Anyone can see that if Chen Xiaomo plays again, the boss will have to cry. Even so, this boss's day's labor today is in vain.

In fact, Chen Xiaomo played this ring ring game when he was a child. Once, he took the 100 yuan he earned during the New Year to play a ring toss game, but he lost all his money. So after he went home, he made a bamboo circle by himself, practiced hard at home for several months, and finally achieved something. When I play it in the future, it's basically a hundred shots, but this time I made a mistake for some reason.

Chen Xiaomo left the stall, he glanced at the knee pads and jade hostas in his hands, and the smiles on his parents' faces slowly appeared in his mind. Thinking of this, he happily put the knee pads and the jade hosta into the baggage.

Chen Xiaomo played with the blue stone bead as he walked, this bead is a stone! Although he felt very displeased, Chen Xiaomo still put the bead on his waist.

Further ahead is a stone arch bridge, called Xuanfu Bridge. The Xuanfu Bridge is about 50 meters long and has a span of about 37 meters. The coupon is about nine meters high, and it is the largest span in Shikoku at that time, and it is the earliest single-hole open-shouldered stone arch bridge built. There are many decorations on the bridge, or dragons or lions, or flowers or grasses, there are many types, each with its own characteristics. Looking at this bridge from afar, it is really like the first moon out of the clouds, and the Changhong drinking stream is beautiful.

There is a river under the Xuanfu Bridge, called Qingshui River, the river water is clear and dust-free, and the fish are fluttering and leisurely. Looking at the river, a sense of joy and pleasure arises spontaneously, and the troubles in my heart are gone. As far as the eye can see, the blue waves are rippling, and the wine is refreshing and pleasant in the wind.

Chen Xiaomo walked to the highest point of the bridge, and as far as the eye could see, the beautiful scenery of Xuanhua was in full view, which was fascinating. There are many people standing on both sides of the river, and if you look closely, it turns out that they are hanging lanterns, and it seems that there will be a gorgeous lantern display at night.

After admiring for a while, Chen Xiaomo walked down the Xuanfu Bridge and came to the other side of the river, but saw that there were fewer people setting up stalls here, but a gate was crowded with people, which was extremely eye-catching. Most of these people are well-dressed and well-mannered, and there must be many scholars. But many of them just watched from the door, and did not dare to enter the courtyard, but for some reason.

At this moment, a person walked out of the crowd, this person was half a head shorter than Chen Xiaomo, dressed in peasant clothes, and his appearance was more handsome than ordinary people, but looking at the tip of his head, his brain seemed to be quite flexible, but there was not a single hair on his head.

"Xiao Zhi, why did you become like this? What about your hair?" Chen Xiaomo looked at it for a long time before he recognized that this person was Li Zhi who came out with his mother in the morning.

"Alas, Brother Mo, it's really hard to say!" Ash said with a bitter face, "My hair was shaved by a crazy girl inside. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Chen Xiaomo asked with a puzzled expression, but seeing Li Zhi's bare head, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Li Zhi said slowly: "This morning, Master and I came to Xuanhua City, and after purchasing the medicinal materials needed with Master, Master asked me to come out to play by myself, and she went to visit the famous doctor in the city. I was wandering around, and suddenly I saw a lot of people here, so I came here to join in the fun. Li Zhi paused and continued: "It turns out that there is a game being played here, everyone can go into this courtyard and answer three questions, if they answer correctly, there will be a prize, and if they answer incorrectly, they will have to shave their hair. ”

"The body is skinny, and the parents are affected, how can this woman shave other people's hair casually!" Chen Xiaomo said angrily: "Xiaozhi, you take me in to have a look." ”

Li Zhi secretly rejoiced, now someone finally wants to shave his head with him. But Li Zhi didn't show it at all, he pulled Chen Xiaomo into the crowd.

Chen Xiaomo walked into the courtyard and saw that the courtyard was very large, but there were not many people, a few elegantly dressed people were standing side by side, and a few people who looked like family members were preparing to shave their hair for them.

Chen Xiaomo walked past the row of people to find out, and a young woman was pacing back and forth in the row of elegant people.

I saw that the woman had a bun and exposed her sideburns, her eyebrows and eyes were full of spring, and her skin was as fine as warm jade. The cherry mouth is small and red, delicate and gorgeous. The two strands of hair on the cheeks are gently brushed in the wind, with a bit of seductive style. The eyes that rotate flexibly are extremely clear, a little naughty, a little mischievous. Wearing a lilac dress, the waist is not full of hand, which is not only small and exquisite, but also dignified and generous. If the flawless beauty of jade, it is like a fairy of the nine heavens. Chen Xiaomo was stunned for a while.

At this time, the woman in purple walked slowly, walked in front of Chen Xiaomo, who was still in a daze, and said loudly: "Hey, boy, are you also here to compete? ”

Chen Xiaomo was awakened by these words, only to realize his gaffe just now, and hurriedly said: "That, I'm not here to compete, I'm ......" Chen Xiaomo was so nervous that he forgot what he was going to do.

"Since you are not participating, please go back!" said the woman in purple in a loud voice.

Li Zhi thought that Chen Xiaomo was unwilling to participate in the competition, and was about to pull him away. As soon as Chen Xiaomo turned around, he happened to see that Jia Ding was about to shave the hair of a few elegant people, and he remembered the purpose of this trip.

Chen Xiaomo coughed lightly and said, "Girl, we are all scholars, they can't answer questions, so why humiliate them?"
