Chapter 51: The Moon Lookout
Xiaozhi carried the bamboo basket back to Bai Fen's yard, Bai Fen was busy in her small kitchen, because she was only interested in eating and cooking since she was a child, Bai Xisun had a headache, but she opened a small kitchen in the yard.
"Yo, I'm back from my lover, come and try this stir-fried chicken, how does it taste?"
"Why do you eat chicken again?"
"Hey, no way, since Xiaobai came, my father has people send a lot of chickens every day, and I can't wait to raise a few hundred chickens in my yard. ”
No wonder eat so fat.
Xiaozhi tasted the chopsticks and nodded in admiration, "I finally ate the dishes you made again, it's so delicious!"
When she was about to stretch out her chopsticks to clamp them, Bai Fen waved a big shovel and said, "Let those ones out to eat." ”
Xiao Hei was left in Lu Qi's yard, Xiao Zhi put the bamboo basket on the small wooden table in the kitchen, shouted twice at the bamboo basket, Xiao Bai and the mallet jumped out one after another, the mallet rubbed on her, wagged her tail, and turned to the feet of Bai Fennel.
Xiaobai was circling around the bamboo basket on the table, and Xiaozhi didn't know what it meant, and asked, "Do you want to eat red beans and fruits?"
Xiaobai shook his head, but still circled around the bamboo basket.
The mallet heard the red bean fruit, barked merrily twice, and was about to run back, but the white fennel threw a meat bone at it, and it went to gnaw on the bone again.
Xiaozhi thought about it, in addition to red beans and fruits, what else does Xiaobai like?
"Do you want something here?"
Xiaobai nodded, and finally stopped spinning in circles.
Xiaozhi reached out and took out a handful of gold ornaments from the bamboo basket, and Xiaobai shook his head again.
Xiaozhi reached out again, and this time took out a blood-stained handkerchief, which was given to her by Xiaopeng, and she kept it for returning to her hometown.
Xiaozhi looked at the square handkerchief, thinking that Xiaopeng and Taro didn't know how they were doing in the mountains? As soon as he felt a little sad, Xiaobai snatched the handkerchief with one paw, held it in his mouth, jumped off the table, and ran out.
Bai Fennel shouted from behind: "Hey, aren't you eating?"
By the time the twig reached the door, it was gone.
What are you doing with that handkerchief? Homesick? Then it won't be like a fox running all the way back!
It wasn't until three days later that the twig understood what it was doing with the handkerchief.
A bend of the moon was hidden in the clouds, and the stars were sprinkled on the night.
The lights of Baihua City were bright, and the streets were crowded with people watching the excitement, the old people were on crutches, the children were riding on the shoulders of adults, the young lady followed the elders of the family, and the brave young man climbed onto the roof. The rich and noble family simply ordered dinner in the box on the top floor of the large and small restaurants in the city, and did not leave after the meal, but sat by the window of the box and waited,......
Everyone raised their eyes to the highest point of the lookout platform.
The demon summoning contest of Chongyue Tower began in this great expectation.
Xiaozhi and Lu Qi, as Bai Fen's relatives and friends, naturally climbed to the top of the moon platform.
The night wind hunts, the moon platform is as bright as day, looking down from a high place, those bells tied on the red line are like stones all over the ground, dazzling to see, and then look at the lights and tourists on the street, it is more brilliant and dazzling than the stars in the sky.
Lu Qi tightened Xiaozhi's cloak and asked, "Is it cold?"
Xiaozhi smiled: "It's not cold. As he spoke, he reached out to grab Lu Qi's hand, and his warm little hand pulled Lu Qi's hand, and said, "Look, it's not cold." ”
Lu Qi also laughed and held her hand with his backhand.
The two stood on the side of the stage and watched the night scene for a while, and Xiaozhi said: "It's so beautiful here." ”
Lu Qidao: "If you like it, I will often bring you here in the future, but if you want to see such a lively scene, I'm afraid you will have to wait until next year's demon summoning competition." ”
"From now on, we'll come to the Demon Summoning Contest every year, okay?"
"Okay, in a few years, we can bring our children here. Lu Qi looked at the children running around in the crowd on the street, and felt that this liveliness was not bad.
Xiaozhi glanced at him, and Lu Qi said again: "However, the most beautiful thing about the moon platform is the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, and when the Mid-Autumn Festival is next year, I will take you here to enjoy the moon." ”
Xiaozhi was about to speak, and Yu Guang saw Bai Fen waving to her in the crowd, so he made an appointment with Lu Qi for next year's Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing trip, and pulled him over to find Bai Fennie.
There is a white jade round platform shaped like a full moon on the moon platform, which can accommodate hundreds of people, and it is strange that it is empty under this white jade platform, reaching the ground, suspended in the sky, that is to say, the entire moon viewing platform, in fact, is like a bucket, but the edge of this bucket is not a wooden plank, but a building with carved beams and paintings.
The white jade platform is three feet higher than the top of the building, and there is a landlord in Chongyue Tower, the five elders, who are sitting on sandalwood chairs not far from the white jade platform at this time, and the owners and the family members of the elders are sitting behind them, and the disciples who are participating in the competition are gathered on the other side of the platform, and the competition is carried out on this white jade platform.
Although Bai Xisun warmly invited Lu Qi and Xiaozhi to sit in Bai Fen's group of relatives and friends, Bai Fenwei hoped that Xiaozhi would stand with her and talk when she was bored, of course Lu Qi wanted to accompany Xiaozhi.
When Twig pulled Lu Qi to squeeze to Bai Fennel's side, the surrounding hustle and bustle had disappeared, and the game was about to begin.
The rules of the game are very simple, the disciples of Chongyue Tower take turns to summon demons on the white jade platform, whoever summons the most powerful, and the loudest bell sounds, is the one who wins. Of course, this game is also dangerous, if the demon you summoned does not obey you, and you can't control it, then you can only resign yourself to fate, the landlord and the elder will not care if you live or die, after all, such a demon summoner, if you don't die today, you will die in the hands of those demons in the future, and it will also humiliate the reputation of Chongyue Tower.
If the demon you summoned is the most powerful, but people want to eat you, then this ranking will be smoothed backwards, so when you summon demons, you must not only summon them, but also be able to control them.
"It seems simple, but it's actually quite difficult. "The sprigs bite their ears with anise.
Bai Fen said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I have signed a contract with Mrs. Yulan, and it will not hurt me." ”
There is only one chance to sign a contract with a demon, and most of the Chongyue Lou disciples will not easily use this opportunity, if they make a contract with those little demons early, they will meet a better one in the future, wouldn't they regret dying. Therefore, almost all of these disciples are cultivating hard, hoping that one day, they will catch a big fish.
The white fennel had undoubtedly been caught, so she looked at the frightened fellow disciples and felt very calm.
Lu Qi and Xiaozhi were even more calm when they saw the excitement, but it was a pity that no one moved two chairs for them, if they had some melon seeds and snacks, hot tea and sweet soup, they would all live.
Xiaozhi wanted to go to the location of the group of relatives and friends, but it happened that Bai Xisun looked over and nodded at Xiaozhi with a smile. It's just that before Xiaozhi waved his hand, he had already looked at Bai Fennel, raised his hand and made a cheering gesture to her, Bai Fennel was rubbing his hands and ignoring him.
