Chapter 194: Tanabata

The seventh day of the seventh month, the Qixi Festival.

Baihua City worships demons, and the people are free and easy.

Since the Demon Summoning Contest was canceled a few years ago, this Qixi Festival has become the most important festival in Baihua City, even more lively than Chinese New Year's Eve.

When the sky is dark, the streets and alleys are lit up with colorful lanterns painted with flowers, birds, fish and insects, and the stars in the sky are far away.

Shops that close early on weekdays are now stocked with oil and candles and are ready to stay open all night, small stalls selling lanterns have been erected at the head of the bridge, and stalls selling rouge and gouache have been set up at the entrance of the alleys, and there are also hawkers carrying their burdens along the streets selling all kinds of novelties.

Young men and women go out of their homes in twos and threes to find their good fortune in the streets and alleys; children love to join in the fun, carrying rabbit lamps all over the streets, laughing and playing, forming a scenery of their own; even a large number of old grandmothers, also carrying flower baskets full of hosta flowers, huddle in the crowd and staggering through the crowd.

If you ask where the most lively place is, it is naturally under the moon platform.

Since the ancient demon king made a stunning appearance on the moon platform ten years ago, and on the Qixi Festival after that, the disciples of Chongyue Tower will set up a stall to sell fox masks under the moon platform.

That's right, it's a stall, and that's right, it's a sale.

This is an idea that several elders came up with, one is to increase the interest of the Qixi Festival, and the other is to make some extra money in the building.

After all, in those years, the landlord Su Li often embezzled public silver and secretly sent it into the ten-mile spring breeze, which made Chongyue Building almost unable to turn around.

Although the landlord has changed, this business has been inherited, and it can only be said that this fox mask is too popular.

At this time, Hua Xiuliu wore such a fox mask, followed by anisole and twigs, and squeezed around in the crowd.

He is impatient with this kind of excitement, but these two stinky girls, he doesn't stare at them personally, which is really uneasy.

As a result, the ancient demon king had a cold face, like a piece of thousand-year-old ice that walked automatically, exuding a "whoosh" cool air in the crowd.

Like birds in a cage, the white fennel and twigs are suddenly released, jumping up and down to the sky.

They have really had enough of it in the past few days.

Madame Bai rarely seized an opportunity to play a good role as the malady of the Bai Mansion, specially prepared a ring ruler, stared at the two of them all day, as long as she found anyone lazy, she immediately pumped a ruler on the back of the person's hand, and saw a red mark floating.

Although they were very cooperative and screamed "wow", looking extremely scared, Mrs. Bai knew that this little punishment could not hurt them at all, and she had just passed the addiction of disciplining her daughter.

Compared with the ring ruler, the most unbearable thing for white fennel and twigs is to sit on a round stool in front of the window all day long, pinching a thin silver needle, and poking it on the embroidery. It was as if the needle was not pinched on their fingertips, but on their buttocks, and it was torture at every moment.

In 3,000 years, Xiaozhi had never done such delicate work, and she felt that it was a hundred times more difficult than cooking. If it weren't for her bad idea, she would not have sat here and been tortured with Bai Fennel.

Bai Fennel doesn't think so, her talent in cooking, if she can even the slightest bit on this embroidery, I'm afraid she won't be so anxious.

Anyway, the hard days were over, and the two of them finished their own embroidery.

If you want to ask how the embroidery is? cough, it's hard to say.

White fennel put herbs such as peilan and mint in the sachet and hid them in her sleeve, just waiting for the night market to find an opportunity to give them to ash.

This man is good-looking, even if you are wearing a mask, even if you are covered with "Do not approach the living", just by that graceful posture and Shi Shiran's behavior, you can guess what kind of good looks are hidden under the mask.

The women of tonight are full of courage and affection, compared to white fennel and twigs, they are really trapped in the deep house compound, and it is rare to have the opportunity to go out and have fun, let alone see a handsome son.

Before the end of the street, Frathra's arms were already stuffed with sachets Ropa, so he simply broke a wicker branch, strung these sachets, and held them in his hand, playing all the way.

Bai Fen looked sullen, she pulled him out today, but she didn't want to be angry with herself.

But the willow seemed to be angry with her, and threw the wicker in front of her several times, letting the beautifully embroidered sachets dangle in front of her.

Even Xiaozhi couldn't stand it anymore and glared back at him.

Hua Quliu raised an eyebrow at her, still going her own way.

Death!

Sure enough, the white anise jerked across the wicker, ripped off an eye-catching sachet, turned around angrily, and threw the sachet into the arms of Ashwaganda.

Hua Quliu was unprepared, and with the strength of her wicker, she leaned forward, and after the sachet smashed into his heart, Bai Fennel's head also hit his heart.

He took her into his arms.

This...... It's really hard to prevent.

There was a sigh around, hugging and hugging on the street, so shameless.

Bai Fennel struggled twice, but Hua Fen held it tighter.

He hadn't hugged him for days, and he missed it so much.

"On the street. Anise muttered.

"It's okay, I'm wearing a mask. Lyrica leaned over her ear and whispered.

“......”

Xiaozhi couldn't stand it anymore anyway, she said hello to the two, first went to the tea stall in front of her to tell the story, and waited for them to come to her when they had enough.

Asked for a pot of tea, a plate of melon seeds, and Xiaozhi sat down at a table.

There are not many people who drink tea, mainly the stories told by storytellers, which have been rotten on the street and no one likes to listen to them.

"Anyway, Bai Tang, he fought with Mrs. Yulan on the cliff of Bailan Mountain for three days and three nights, and finally knocked Mrs. Yulan off the cliff, and he was seriously injured. Originally, the story ended here, but Bai Tang had no feelings for Mrs. Yulan, jumped off the cliff, and rescued Mrs. Yulan, who had not yet fallen to the bottom of the cliff......"

What is this and what? Looking for abuse?

Xiaozhi shook his head, if this is the case, Uncle Bai Tang and that Madame Yu Lan are really sick.

is really affectionate, how can you be willing to hurt her?

"If you want to blame it, you can blame Bai Tang for being framed, swallowing the fruit of hard work, and the past has dissipated like a cloud, and I can't remember half of it. ”

When Xiaozhi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a throb in his heart, and it seemed that Lu Qi's face appeared in front of him again.

"Think of Mrs. Yulan's fierce temperament, she is a woman who wants to be a demon king, how can she bear the old lover to forget all about herself, but she can't peel him off. ”

No, Mrs. Yu Lan didn't go to the person who framed Bai Tang, but she didn't let go of Bai Tang, the victim, what is the reason?

"The person who framed Bai Tang? I'm sorry, I didn't mention it in this rumor. The storyteller took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and bowed his hand apologetically to the only audience present.

Xiaozhi listened to the three stories, and Bai Tang was sitting by the river with Bai Fen in his arms and putting lanterns, his buttocks seemed to grow on the bluestone slab, and he had no intention of getting up at all.

The storyteller said dryly, and gradually frowned, why didn't this girl leave?

Xiaozhi is also a good looker, so he threw a few copper plates on the tea table at the moment, got up and walked under the moon platform not far away.
