At night, at the edge of the wild woods.

Before the start of the Qixi temple fair, the villagers gathered on the grass to stop and look at the starry sky, looking forward to something.

Su Xiaobai also joined them; Sitting next to him were Old Man Han and Second Master Guan.

They say that the Cowherd and Vega will meet across the Milky Way tonight.

But in Su Xiaobai's eyes, this is pure nonsense.

The two stars are 16 light-years apart, and even if they move at the speed of light, they cannot meet in a single day.

Therefore, it is just a beautiful legend made up by the ancestors in ancient times, although it is widely spread, but it is tantamount to a dream of yellow sorghum.

Unless you wait until a miracle happens; But a person's life is only a moment compared to the eternal stars.

"Why don't we wait and go to the needle?"

Su Xiaobai's neck was numb, and he proposed a little boringly.

Han Duangong and Guan Erye were silent, continuing to look up, sticking to the myths and stories.

“...........”

Su Xiaobai couldn't get out of the middle of it, so he had to wait patiently.

He has difficulty understanding this kind of behavior, and always feels a little ignorant, or rather, too persistent..........

At the dome, the Milky Way divides the starry sky into opposite shores, and two bright stars are far away from each other, sprinkling starlight.

Just when Su Xiaobai thought that this was the end, an unbelievable scene came as promised.

"That's Magpie Bridge? How could it be ........"

In the night sky, the white of the stars stretches across the shore, pulling a distance of 16 light years.

The two huge stars left their orbits and approached each other along the white bridge, a scene like a dream.

It's hard to believe that they are about to cross a chasm-like light-year distance, just to trample the Milky Way under their feet and touch each other!

However, they are not lonely, Su Xiaobai is honored to be a witness, although it is beyond his own cognition, but the myth and story have finally shone into the world.

And, interestingly, this miracle happened twenty years before the cosmic time scale; Therefore, what is captured with the naked eye now is the epic of these distant stars forgotten by history!

"That's really........ That's great! ”

Su Xiaobai watched the changes in the starry sky in front of him and praised sincerely.

It's hard to imagine what would happen when two stars bigger than the Sun meet..........

"It's almost time, and the Qixi Temple Fair is about to start."

Before witnessing the moment when the stars met, Old Man Han urged on the side and patted himself on the shoulder.

In a trance, Su Xiaobai came back to his senses, and the gongs and drums around him were noisy, so it was not lively.

"Okay, let's go." He couldn't get enough of the response, and finally got up with a stumbling back, and his attention returned to the Qixi temple fair.

In this night's temple fair, begging is still the highlight, but unlike Su Xiaobai's previous experience, this begging is mixed with some competitive elements.

"The contestants who participated in the begging ceremony can now enter the temple and prepare!"

The game was about to start, and the principal shouted loudly, and the crowd jumped again.

The slender procession drilled into the inner hall of the temple, and Su Xiaobai also joined them, and it didn't take long for him to stand in front of the small wooden table.

On the table were still those familiar objects: silver needles, hibiscus embroidery; However, the rules are different from before, and this time the begging is speed.

That's right, the faster the speed of threading the needle, the more "skillful" you can beg for the seven fairies in folklore; Therefore, speed has become the only criterion to measure the ranking of the competition.

To win the game, he has to be faster.

After another five minutes or so, the other contestants were also standing at the small wooden table, all of them women skillful hands.

In this way, he really fulfilled the hope of the men in the village.

Immediately after, a middle-aged man walked up to him, holding a gong in his right hand and a mallet in his left hand.........

"Let's get started!"

The unexpected shouts came into Su Xiaobai's mind with the sound of the gong, there was no preparation at all, and the game had started abruptly.

The space was quiet all of a sudden, and Su Xiaobai hurriedly picked up the needle and thread and threaded it, feeling a huge pressure inexplicably.

Ten minutes passed.........

The first woman put down the needle and thread she was holding with a staggering speed.

"Congratulations to Aunt Lu for winning the first place in the begging competition!"

"Don't be discouraged, as long as you win the top three, you will get a copy of the colorful rope that Han Duangong prayed for!"

Hearing this, Su Xiaobai couldn't help but speed up the needlework at hand.

At this time, regardless of the quality, I am almost finished!

A minute later, the second place was decided and the race was deadlocked.

"The second place has also been born, and there is still the last place, who will go to the house?"

The principal presided loudly in the front row, and his eyes fell on the embroidered picture on Su Xiaobai's hand.

Only the corner of a green leaf remains.........

"I'm all right!"

When the last hole was pierced, Su Xiaobai let out a loud shout, slammed the needle and thread on the table, and confidently held up the hibiscus embroidery in his hand!

It's all speed, and there's no quality at all, but the third place is your own!

The principal understood, and directly announced loudly: "The top three have been born, and the begging competition is over!" ”

"Please come forward and receive a prize colorful rope!"

In the midst of everyone's voice, Su Xiaobai stepped forward with the other two women's skillful hands and stood in front of the seven paper piercing people.

On the incense table, there are indeed three bracelets tied by rope, which are full of light and a little mysterious.

Su Xiaobai grabbed it, and the information of the prize was revealed, since it was a blessing, it was also extraordinary!

[Colorful rope, also known as longevity. Daily wear can extend life up to 100 years of age. 】

"Han Duangong has a lot of good things, so I'll take it!"

He muttered to himself with joy, and stretched the multicolored rope through a hole and put it on his left hand.

This little thing, as an ornament is not bad, he looked at it with joy, against the crowd, and came to the corner again.

..........

..........

At this time, the lights are lit up.

People bow down in front of Qi Niangniang, make wishes to each other, and sing to the moon at the time of Qixi Festival, not drunk..........
