Chapter 45 Fireworks
What's fun about the Chinese New Year?
In order to have a good omen, it is not allowed to get angry, quarrel, or work hard in this year, so whether it is old or young, women and children, or strong men, they do not work before the fifth day of the first lunar month, just eat, drink, and have fun.
Su Tang also followed his friends, playing with the east family, going around the west family, or the dried fruits, peanuts and melon seeds brought out from home and distributing them to the partners.
At least don't have too much fun until the Lantern Festival comes.
The Lantern Festival, a long-standing custom of the Great Qin Kingdom, is held every year even in a remote place like Sanhe Town.
On this day, the villagers near Sanhe Town will go to play, also known as walking lights, and there is also a saying that they will go to the disease and eliminate disasters.
Because of Shen Yunniang's health, Su Mingjiang was not going to go, but after Shen Yunniang knew about this light, she asked Su Mingjiang to take Su Tang there.
As for the young Su Qi, he stayed with her.
Su Mingjiang thought that it wouldn't take long to go, so he agreed, and said with a smile that he would bring peace and health back.
They went a little late, it was already a little dark, and they met people on the way, but fortunately, the village was not far from the town, and they could see the lights in front of them from a distance!
At this time, the street was already crowded with people, and lantern sheds were set up at the entrances of shops on both sides, and all kinds of lanterns were hung on them.
Although the workmanship may not be very exquisite, it looks very good-looking.
There are rabbit lanterns, lotus lanterns, and beauty lanterns......
It's dazzling to look at, and it's lovely.
The father and daughter walked hand in hand from this street, followed the crowd to that street entrance, and then walked back when they reached the end.
There are many people and children, so walking on the street is a noisy sound, the shouting of adults, the crying of children, how lively can it be.
"Sell flowers, sell flowers, this big brother, give your girl hairpin flowers, you look at how beautiful the red plum blossoms are, and you can also celebrate when you look at them!"
Suddenly, a woman holding a handful of red plums stopped Su Mingjiang's father and daughter, holding a small sprig of red plums in her hand, and gestured to Su Tang.
"How much?"
As soon as the woman heard that there was a play, she immediately smiled and said, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's just two pennies, and the New Year is just to have fun!" ”
Su Mingjiang gave the woman two copper plates, took the red plum blossom, smiled and pinched one and put it on Su Tang's head, and smelled it, it was indeed very fragrant.
Su Tang immediately grinned, but when she smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms, she was in a trance for a moment, but the feeling quickly disappeared, making her think it was just her own illusion, so she didn't care so much, and walked forward again!
The woman selling flowers stared at Su Tang's back and smiled, and then walked towards the other pair of mother and daughter, "Eldest sister, buy more flowers for your girl, it's not expensive for two pennies, how festive are you looking at the red flowers?"
Ah, no money? That's okay, this flower will be given to your matchmaker. No, no money, free ......"
Su Tang looked at several little girls on the street with red plum blossoms on their heads, and thought in her heart that this aunt who sells flowers is really powerful, this small red plum is only two pennies, can you earn a lot of copper plates, right?
This idea is very good, but so many people don't look very good at that woman's dress, where did she get so many red plums?
This doubt only passed through my mind for a while, and I was attracted by the bustle of the street.
"Fireworks, fireworks......"
I don't know who shouted, the crowd began to pour into the other side, and Su Mingjiang's father and daughter, who were squeezed in the crowd, involuntarily followed the crowd forward.
"Hold on to me, there are too many of these people, forget it, I'll hold you."
"Dad, I'm so old, you should be tired after holding it for a while, let's go by yourself!"
Su Tang refused Su Mingjiang's request, she herself was not a real child, and she didn't feel comfortable being held by a man.
Even if this man is his biological father, he will feel embarrassed.
Su Mingjiang had no choice but to clench the little hand in his hand to prevent her from being swept away by the crowd.
The place where the fireworks were set off was in the open space not far from the main street of the town, but it was a little deviated from the direction of the main street, when Su Tang and they arrived, there were already many people around, there were many fireworks in the middle of the crowd, and a few young people who looked like rich families were holding fire folds in their hands, and they were preparing to set off fireworks.
After stopping for a while, the fireworks began to be lit, and there was a "bang, bang" sound, and colorful fireworks exploded in the sky.
"It's so pretty!"
Su Tang has never seen such fireworks in this era, and the technology of the ancients is also very good!
"Sugar candy, the fireworks are also over, let's go back. Hey? What's going on with this house? ”
Su Mingjiang covered his head, his eyes were in a trance, and the words in his mouth became quieter and quieter.
It's not that the house is moving, it's that his whole body is shaking.
Not only him, but all the men and women present who watched the fireworks, old and young, were just like him, shaking their bodies, unable to stand steadily, and before they could react, the whole person fell to the ground, and fainted in front of him.
And although Su Tang wanted to use internal force to force herself to wake up, she immediately sensed that something was wrong, and the internal force in her body seemed to be suppressed, and she couldn't use it.
So, I fainted with it.
Is this a drug?
How did you get drugged?
When he fainted, Su Tang still had the heart to think about these questions, and there was really no one left.
Because it is still some distance from the lively street, what happened here has not attracted the attention of others for a while.
This also gives people who have been prepared for a long time to take away those who want to take them away.
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and hide the people, someone will come soon."
It was the woman who was selling red plum blossoms at the corner of the street.
At this time, where was she still as kind as she had seen before, her eyes were full of ruthlessness, and her tone was very tough and ordered a few men who came to hug people.
These men are the same ones who were lighting fireworks just now.
Their goal is very clear, they are all little girls with red plums on their heads, most of them are five or six years old, and they are all good-looking, and the boys don't even look at them.
Before and after, there was not half an hour before and after, and more than a dozen people disappeared with the girl in their arms.
It wasn't until someone noticed that something was wrong here and brought someone from the government over that the abnormality was discovered.
Su Mingjiang was woken up by the cold, because he was drugged, and it was important for the people in the government to save people, so he directly took the snow on the ground and rubbed people's faces hard, so he felt cold.
"What's wrong with me? Sugar sugar, sugar sugar? ”
Su Mingjiang was woken up coldly and suddenly remembered what happened before he fell into a coma, and subconsciously called his daughter's name, but this time no one answered his shouting, which made him have a bad premonition.
Then, he saw the situation around him clearly, and it was all people who had just been "woken up" like him, sitting on the ground and looking around blankly.
