Chapter 1597: Shopping
The companion found a local square-horned hat on the street at a roadside stall spread out by shuttlecock, and gestured in front of Bimoye: "This little hat should look good on your head, come and try it?"
"I don't try. Bimoye flatly refused.
"Let's give it a try. ”
"Don't. ”
The companions insisted on putting the funny little square hat on Bimoyer's head to make fun of him, but Bimoyer saw their intentions, but refused to put it on, and turned away.
The partner said helplessly: "Don't be so boring, you won't have a long bag on your head." ”
Although joining the group is short, but the integration is very fast, and Sain, who has become the 'big brother' who has taken the lead from his brother, threw down the object in his hand, came over from the stall next to him and said: "Okay, don't you know his character? Let's go over there, and the small town of Efen New Blue is quite interesting. ”
Bimoyer was forced to be dragged out into the street by them, and with a long sigh, he had to follow them on.
The streets here are not wide, and the small vendors on both sides of the road sit opposite each other, only one meter apart, and they sell a lot of things, and there is no regular order or commodity division. Fruit sellers, clay pottery utensils, terracotta dolls, and lynx skins are all placed side by side, and a local painting artwork called 'plastering' is also on sale, and some artists even invite guests to stop and paint on the spot.
Walking to the intersection, it is an open area, there are more people visiting the market, and there are all kinds of snacks around, there are skewers of grilled bait snakes, hand-rolled wrapped cakes, pickled melons, bobo sugar, etc., Bimoyer happened to be hungry, bought a bread and pickled melons while shopping and eating, and also bought a cup of chilled Hulu for Wendini to drink, and also tasted two bites by the way.
The street corner is a crowded place. There are four floats parked in the middle of the open space, and the flowers on the floats are set up in various shapes, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and there are men and women wearing national costumes around the cars singing and dancing. Surrounded by everyone, more than 20 girls dressed in plants and flowers stepped on the float on the carpet in gorgeous costumes. They danced and spun on the floats, and cheers and applause erupted all around them.
Sanchi looked curious and asked the man next to him: "What is this doing, it seems to be a holiday, is it a festival today?"
The old man in the red turban who was asked said to Sanchi, "This is our dress festival here." ”
"Dressing up?"
The old man glanced at him and said with a smile: "No wonder you don't know, few people abroad know about our costume festival, which is our traditional folk celebration here." We have plants and flowers here, and the town's boys and girls have a costume festival when they turn seventeen. Plants and flowers are woven into clothes and worn on the body, and then paraded around the town with floats and performed a flower dance. Only after performing the Flower Dance and passing the Costume Festival can the teenagers and girls be considered officially adults. ”
Sanchi and the others nodded and said, "Oh, it turned out to be a coming-of-age ceremony." ”
When the old man saw that they were all outsiders, he said in detail: "The festival will be held twice every three times, and the boys and girls will be held separately. Holding a dress festival not only means that they are coming of age, but also that boys and girls are ready to get married. In the evenings, the town hosts a cocktail party, where adult singles get to know each other. I see a couple of young lads among you who can go in the evening, and it's a festival for young people. When the old man said this, his eyes fell on Bimoyer and he asked, "Young man." Where are you from, do you have a girlfriend?"
Looking at the appearance of this old man, it seems that he has taken a fancy to Bimoyer and wants to introduce him to an object.
Slightly embarrassed by Moyer, he said, "I'...... Just here to watch. After saying that. A few steps back and a little farther away, but Sein and Sankile laughed non-stop, and even Wendini, who didn't understand the world before, could now understand this, snickering on the side.
Everyone once again looked at the float, they were basically the age of blood and strength, and the seventeen-year-old girls dancing in the sea of flowers were all the same age as flowers, girls like flowers, watching these beautiful girls dance, one by one like nails under their feet, they were reluctant to leave.
Sanchi held his chin in his hand and bumped his arm against his companion next to him: "Hey, do you see it, the one with blue petals is the most beautiful, tsk~!"
The companion said: "Sanchi, what are you gluttonous, you are in your thirties, don't think about it." ”
Sanchi sighed bitterly: "Alas~!, it would be nice if I were younger, although I am single now, but I seem to be a little older than these beautiful girls." ”
Bimoyer was a little bored, but he didn't mind stopping for a while, when a sudden electric sensation came from behind him, which made his body tense. He immediately looked back at him, and his companion next to him saw him strange and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bimoyer looked at the endless pedestrians on the street, shook his head for a while, and said, "Nothing. ”
The companion felt strange, and looked around, but found nothing, and turned back to see the girl dancing.
Bimoyer pressed his hand to his heart, and he only felt his heart pounding, and when someone passed behind him just now, that moment brought him a strange feeling, which he could not describe, as if he was pierced by electricity, and all the hairs on his body stood up, full of trembling, and he could not let go of it for a long time.
He thought about it, he was not very reconciled, and he was still looking for that person in the crowd, and his eyes inadvertently fell to the shop with a small door on the opposite side: "There is also a treasure hut here?"
He walked over curiously and took a look, and sure enough, it was a treasure hut.
The Treasure House does not specialize in selling treasures, but is mainly used to collect and sell information related to treasures for the convenience of those in need.
There are not many people in and out of the treasure hut, although it is located in the middle of the city, it can be said that almost no one enters it, and few people will look at this kind of place, especially for ordinary people. But there was a man standing at the door of the treasure hut, this man had his hands on his chest, a sword in one hand, his head bowed, and a hat to cover the sun, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but it seemed that he had been here for a long time.
Bimoye had no intention of entering the hut, and after glancing at the door, he was about to leave, but at this time he was stopped by the man guarding the door of the treasure hut.
"Hey, friend, please wait a minute. The sword in his hand, the scabbard in front of Bimoye.
"Huh?" Bimoyer looked at him.
The man said, "I've been watching you here for a long time, you're a mercenary." ”
Bimoye didn't wear the mercenary group logo today, but he was still visible. So he asked, "What do you mean?"
"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean it badly. The man took off his hat as he spoke, revealing his face: "I'm a ranger, and I want to talk to you about business." ”
Bimoyer looked at the man's face, with a stubble head, a cleanly shaved beard on his face, a little handsome, in his thirties and less than forty years old, tall, with a slender scabbard in his hand, wearing a silver-gray cuirass with shoulder pads, lined with a tough burlap robe, leather boots and leggings, and a ring of chain mail tied under the leather linen skirt on the hips, but it was a little broken.
"You're looking for the wrong person. "Than Moyer was leaving, but was still stopped.
"Don't go, you haven't heard me say what business it is. ”
At this moment, Sain and Sanchi were bored watching the dance, and came to look for Bimoyer, and when they saw that he was being stopped in the distance, they shouted, "What are you doing over there, Bimoyer?" and ran over.
Bimoyer bypassed the Ranger's sword and said, "It's all right. ”
The companion said, "Let's go to the front." He glanced at the Ranger and pulled Bimoyer away.
The ranger could only shake his head helplessly, stood on the street for a while, and then left.
Afterwards, Bimoye continued to walk the streets with the others, and when he saw a new and cheap knick-knack, he bought them for fun or brought them with him as a souvenir. In the evening they met with the rest of their companions, and all had heard of the evening feast, and a few young men, under twenty-five, were so moved that they wanted to see it. It's so easy to catch the local coming-of-age ceremony, how can you miss it. So Bimoyer was also dragged and went with them. (To be continued......)
