Chapter 70: Tanabata

The "Qixi Festival" is the seventh day of July every year. On the night of the sixth day of the seventh month, the daughters of each family pray to the moon for a happy marriage.

This festival is said to have existed since the Han Dynasty and is not only unique to the Han family. Confucianism-infested places such as Goguryeo and Fuso hold lantern festivals on this day, and young girls dress up for a night out.

The weather in July will be cool, and none of the girls who have been detained for a whole year will not take pains to make themselves the most dazzling.

At this time, it is common to see women still wearing light gauze skirts on the streets, and the light gauze and thin clothes outline the delicate posture of young girls. This day is more than the New Year's Day, which everyone is looking forward to.

Naturally, Ryukyu also has a Tanabata lantern festival every year. It's just that this year's lantern festival is deserted compared to previous years.

The street layout is only a few places, and the number of vendors who come out to set up stalls is also half that of previous years. Not to mention the protagonists of the Qixi Festival, the girls, can only occasionally see so many girls who are bold enough to go out to play.

For these girls, the Qixi Festival is a big day that they have been waiting for for a whole year. Although they have been strictly detained at home by their parents in the past few months, there is always a thought that pops up in everyone's hearts: "Even if it is the Gong Guard, they will not come out to kidnap people on the night of the Qixi Festival!"

To put it bluntly, the Gong Guard, who has been regarded as a "demon", turned out to be just a child of the Ryukyus. Coming out to arrest people during the day is also to fulfill the king's order, how can there be any reason to be on an errand at night?

As a few bold girls walked out of the house, they were able to play safely and soundly. More and more girls are finally convincing their parents with tearful eyes to take a breath on the streets.

At the beginning of the day, the moon stars are scarce, and even the sugar gourds sold on the street have become very good. The young men and cardamom maidens hurried to put on their best clothes and jewelry before the end of the assembly, and quietly opened the door of their rooms and walked out.

The night comes alive with the flow of people. Like flowers, young men and women swept the road with hopeful eyes.

Who doesn't want to meet a real lover on this rare day? This situation and this scene correspond to Qin Guan's words: "The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is dark." As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win and there are countless people in the world. ”

In this magnificent night, which should be exclusive to young people, there are a group of middle-aged people walking back and forth. said it was a group, but in fact it was two people who were the leader.

One of them was a pale man with a sickly face, and the other was a short and fat man who was smiling so much that he couldn't see his teeth. Around them was a group of sturdy young men, guarding them tightly as if unintentionally.

All the young men and women who passed by them looked at them in surprise. But fortunately, this group of imposing people just walked slowly around the streets, and did not do anything out of the ordinary.

That sickly pale man was none other than the depressed King of the Ryukyus. He has been hiding in the palace for the past few days and doing whatever he wants, and he is not even willing to manage the government.

It's a pity that these days of indulgence^ are getting more and more tired of the Ryukyu king. And the women who have been sent to the palace in the past few days are getting fewer and fewer, and they are getting uglier and uglier.

The king of the Ryukyus was depressed, and he felt tired all day. In addition to advising him to pay attention to rest and take care of his body, the doctor also prepared several specious drug plans. ate lukewarmly for more than half a month, but it still made him yawn.

After a few days of dreary work, a big Ryukyu businessman, Lobo, came to visit him in the palace and came up with the wonderful idea of secretly going out of the palace on Tanabata night to enjoy it.

In the past, the king of the Ryukyus was in strict control, and he would not have such an idea. Later, he got some women to play in the palace. Although a girl's tears can make her head hot, they will be tasteless after a long time.

Now that he himself went out into the street, he found that the girl could be so vivid and beautiful, as attractive as a meal on the table. Although it is already the day of autumn, these young and compelling girls are smiling and smiling, and by the cover of the night, the decoration of the lights is even more sultry than the spring light^.

It can be said that the king of the Ryukyus had to adjust his pace with every step he took, so as not to make a fool of himself in front of his courtiers. Peng Baibo^ finally saved himself from his boredom.

The old fox on the side, Loeb, is also knowledgeable. He kept pointing to the beautiful girls who occasionally passed by on the street to attract the Ryukyu King to see, and laughed and commented.

Suddenly, a beautiful young woman broke into the sight of the Ryukyu King.

Young, sweet, and plump, maybe this woman is not so beautiful that she is full. Even in all fairness, she is not as good as the new queen in the palace who can't even cry.

It's just that she was suddenly seen by the King of the Ryukyus at this time, with a carefree smile on her face. A youthful and unaware look. This is her fate.

The Ryukyu King's throat rolled a few times, and his eyes stared straight at the prey in front of him. He suddenly said to Loeb beside him, "This woman is good. Lead her to a hidden place. ”

The King of the Ryukyus said this casually, and it seemed that he was not at all worried about being heard by the people on the road. When Loeb and several others heard the words of the King of the Ryukyus, their hearts were shaken. But he soon felt that it was not unusual for the King of the Ryukyus to say such a thing.

He is like a giant spider, waiting in his web for his prey to throw himself into the web. Nowadays, it is not unthinkable to go out hunting in person.

No matter how ridiculous the idea of the Ryukyu King seemed to ordinary people, it was an order from the Lord. Immediately, a few young men who accompanied him hurriedly walked in the direction of the woman.

The King of the Ryukyus watched with satisfaction as the two young men walked straight to the young girl. Watching them stop the girl's way, looking at the girl's panicked eyes, watching her cry and cry for help from the people around her.

And the young man who had been with her just silently bowed his head and walked to the side. Watch as the girl's legs tremble at the end, and follow the two men towards a dark alley.

The King of the Ryukyus was as excited as a spider about to feast. Everything around you is just what you want. The night, the lights, and the human voices were all just right, urging the beast in his heart to move^ move.

And what satisfied me the most was that the girl looked back with tears, and her pale and trembling lips were like weak and helpless white moths.

And if he had a fiery spear on him, it must immediately plunge into the body of his prey. Until the venom is exhausted^, you can relieve your hunger.

It's time to get out of the game!

The king of the Ryukyus walked with difficulty^ to the dark alley. This old spider is going to eat tonight's prey.
