On this day, as usual, Shen Xiaoxiao accompanied Baoyu to practice calligraphy, draw, and play chess in the morning, and Baoyu had a lot of fun. During lunch, Zhou Rui's family came to say goodbye: "Girl, the boat family is here to announce that it will dock in Guazhou in the afternoon, which will be the last supply point to go to Yangzhou." And deliberately mentioned that tonight is the annual big market in Guazhou, and there is a parade that is very lively, so the slave maid wants to ask the girl if she wants to go at night. ”

"Sister, what is the Grand Bazaar, and what is the procession, and why is it so lively?" asked Baoyu Sanlian.

"Do you want to go down to the Lantern Festival in the capital? The big market is similar to the Lantern Festival. There is such a custom in various places, and people often organize themselves during festivals, and everyone plays the appearance of various or famous historical characters or mythological characters or animals, and then enters a variety of interesting performances, which are very beautiful. Shen Xiaoxiao explained in detail. But I thought in my heart: I was originally out to play, how could I miss it when I encountered a lively and fun one. Well, but not too positively.

"Baoyu, do you want to go?" Shen Xiaoxiao was about to throw the pot to Baoyu.

"I think, my sister Baoyu wants to go, please, Baoyu really wants to go. Baoyu happily took the pot, looked up at Shen Xiaoxiao motionlessly with big eyes, and waited for Shen Xiaoxiao's reply.

"Well, for the sake of our lovely Baoyu who wants to go so much, then let's go together at night, but pay attention to safety!" Shen Xiaoxiao secretly made a victorious gesture in his heart and agreed. Then he turned to Zhou Ruijia and said, "Everyone has been on the boat for more than ten days, let's go down and play at night." It's just that the guards have to be arranged, Baoyu is with me, in addition to the personal maid and the nurse, a few more guards are sent around to protect it. ”

Zhou Ruijia nodded and replied: "It's still the girl who thinks thoughtfully, and she will obey the girl's arrangement at night." After saying that, he bowed and went down to make arrangements.

"Great, I can get off the boat tonight. Baoyu knew that she could get off the boat at night and jumped straight up excitedly, in fact, don't talk about King Bao, even these girls and grandmothers are also very happy. Everyone felt that their feet were soft in the past 20 days on the ship, and now they are happy to be back on the ground, even if it is only one night!

"Baoyu, let's talk about it. You have to be obedient and obedient, you can't run around and you can't leave your sister's side, you know, otherwise, I won't take you there!" Shen Xiaoxiao warned Baoyu. In fact, Shen Xiaoxiao was not very worried, I don't know if it was the reason for absorbing memory fragments after returning to the soul or the reason for the strong aura here, Shen Xiaoxiao's spiritual power still improved very quickly without special cultivation, and now the spiritual power release has reached nearly forty meters or so. I believe that when playing, the space of 40 meters in front of and behind the street is under the detection of my own spiritual power, and there should be no accidents such as scattering. In addition, there are so many girls, grandmothers, and guards, and the safety should be guaranteed.

"Knowing my sister, Baoyu will definitely be obedient. Baoyu pulled Shen Xiaoxiao's sleeve and said coquettishly.

In the evening, the sky was getting dark, Shen Xiaoxiao was neatly dressed, wearing a hat on her head, and a long gauze curtain hung down from her head to half of her body, covering her appearance and figure tightly. Shen Xiaoxiao took Baoyu's hand and led a group of servants and guards to the Guazhou market.

The lights were bright in the distance, and there were faint cheers and shouts. Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but speed up her pace, and gradually she could see the scene in front of her. I saw that on both sides of the long street, long lines were drawn at intervals with long ropes, and red lanterns were hung on them, so that the whole street seemed to be daylight. The streets have long been lined with stalls of all kinds, some selling local snacks, some kneading clay figures, some selling women's jewelry, some painting candy people, some selling local special items, and even some selling foreign goods. There are countless kinds of juggling on the street, and all kinds of cries come and go, and it is very lively.

"Sister, sister, hurry up, go quickly!Ah, sister, look, the strings of red on it are not the legendary rock sugar gourds, sister, I haven't eaten it since I was a child, I want to eat, you buy it for me! Sister~!" Baoyu looked happily on the side, and his two eyes couldn't see it at all, and when he saw the rock sugar hulu, he clamored to buy it.

"Okay, my sister bought it for you. He turned to the pomegranate and said, "Go and buy all the pomegranates, and share some for everyone to eat." ”

"Yes, girl," replied Pomegranate, and called a guard to buy them all, and divided them all, and almost everyone had one in their hands, and Baoyu held one in his left hand, and one in his right hand, and ate happily at this time.

Just go all the way, see all the way, buy all the way, eat all the way.

In fact, when they first entered the bazaar, they were targeted by a group of traffickers, although Shen Xiaoxiao wore a hat to cover her appearance and couldn't see the beauty and ugliness, but Baoyu's pink carving, delicate facial features and indistinguishable appearance were very popular with those perverted rich people. Although Shen Xiao is a small group of people, the number of people seems to be quite large, and there are so many guards around to protect them. But in order to make a big profit, traffickers still dare to take risks.

Suddenly, there were screams one after another from the front, it turned out that the procession had marched here, and I saw that all kinds of characters were dressed vividly, and the content of the performance was even more colorful, which attracted the crowd of onlookers to applaud again and again. It attracted everyone's attention for a while. Only Baoyu turned her head to look around, holding a few sugar-fried chestnuts that the girl had just peeled in her hand, and she was still eating one in her mouth. ，

Suddenly, Baoyu looked not far behind the left, and it turned out to be a kind old man beckoning to Baoyu with a kind smile, and he also held a brightly colored mask in his hand, sometimes wearing it on his face and sometimes holding it in his hand, and he kept waving to Baoyu to give him the mask. Baoyu couldn't help but trot towards the old man. For a while, no one found that Baoyu had run out.

As soon as Baoyu ran to the old man's house and wanted to reach out for the mask, a person rushed out from behind and quickly covered Baoyu's mouth, immediately picked up Baoyu and ran quickly to the back corner.

"Second master, second master, where are you. The first to notice that Baoyu was missing was Mama Li, she hurriedly walked in front of Shen Xiaoxiao and said anxiously: "Girl, the second master is gone, and he was still there just now." In fact, Shen Xiaoxiao heard it when Mama Li shouted out the second master, she immediately released her spiritual power, looked around, and sure enough, she found that twenty or thirty meters away, there were two people carrying the struggling Baoyu to the uninhabited path behind the street. Seeing that they were about to step out of the scope of mental power exploration.
