Chapter 16, the beauty of the East China Sea (2)
At night, the shops on the street have closed early, and every household is in front of their house, offering incense and burning paper money, and the street becomes steaming and smoky for a while.
At this time, Weikong and Weiwen had already come to the square of the festival to survey the scene.
Soon, a group of people dressed in gold and silver and covered in copper stench surrounded a young man in green clothes and walked in a buzz. Wei Kong and Xu Wen had wide ears and eyes, and they heard those people talking from a distance. The leader was a middle-aged man with small eyes and sharp mouth, and his face was shrewd and capable, so he only heard him ask politely: "I don't know if the wine and food in the house just now can meet the taste of Shangguan Shaoxia?"
The young man in Tsing Yi nodded, "The taste is okay, and it will fill your stomach just now." ”
"That's fine, tomorrow I'll order the cook to get some fresh dishes for the young man to enjoy. ”
It sounded like the boy was obviously a guest, but instead of thanking him for the favor, he spoke in a rude and arrogant tone, and strangely enough, the shrewd middle-aged man was not angry but tried to please the boy.
"What is the program you asked me to come here?" asked the young man greedily.
"Our trade county is a seaside town, over the years in the Yuan Festival have the custom of putting water lanterns, legend has the water lanterns to guide the deceased souls, when the lights go out, the water lanterns have completed the task of guiding the soul across the Nai River Bridge, with the evolution of history has now become a custom for young people to mourn their ancestors. The middle-aged man explained.
"Oh, that sounds like fun, take me there. The boy said with some eagerness.
"Under the color bridge by the square, it was very fast. The middle-aged man said and stepped up his original slow pace.
Seeing this, the two heroes of Wen Shi were all angry, and Weikong's thick eyebrows were erected and furious, "The sharp-beaked monkey cheeks call this kid Shangguan Shaoxia, could it be that Shangguan Rui in the tavern is this person, this is clearly an impostor, I want to expose his mask." As he spoke, he rolled up the shaft to reveal a pair of thick arms with swelling green muscles, and was about to make a move.
Wei Wen grabbed Wei Kong's arm to stop his impulsive behavior, "Senior brother, don't be impatient. ”
"This kid is ruining the reputation of Senior Brother Rui and my Wenshi faction, so how can I not be in a hurry. Wei Kong acted a little recklessly, clenching his big fist in a clenched sand pot, and was angry and wanted to break free from Wei Wen's hand.
"Senior brother, calm down, and listen to me, if we make a rash move now, we will definitely startle the snake, and this mission is tantamount to a waste. Now there is a fake Shangguan Rui here, which just makes the people of the Sea Dragon Gang take it lightly, and it is more beneficial for the real Senior Brother Rui to make a move, so this person will be beneficial to our operation this time, and now is not the time to reveal his identity. Weiwen is calm and calm, and analyzes the pros and cons in front of him.
Wei Kong felt justified when he heard it, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said fiercely: "Okay, just listen to you, everything is based on the overall situation." ”
At this time, young men and women were already gathering under the color bridge to release Krathong.
When the fake Shangguan Rui and his gang came, those young men and women knew that it was the city lord Liu Dayuan, and they all got out of the way with interest.
The so-called Krathong is a lamp tied on a small wooden board, surrounded by lotus flowers folded into paper, and the appearance is also very beautiful. A large number of Krathong have already been prepared.
"Young man, please light the lamp. Liu Dayuan kindly handed over the fire fold to the fake Shangguan Rui.
"It turns out that you still have this kind of new thing, interesting, let Ben Shaoxia try it. ”
Fake Shangguan Rui happily took the fire fold, lit a lamp, and put it on the water to drift into the distance with the waves, and for a time the water surface was full of dazzling water lanterns, as beautiful as the stars in the sky, as if the heaven and the earth were also turned upside down.
"It's so beautiful!" the girl she had seen in the tavern just now also happened to come under the bridge, and she couldn't help but cheer when she saw this beautiful scenery.
Fake Shangguan Rui was quickly attracted by the girl's elegant appearance, and hurriedly walked over and said earnestly: "Miss, are you interested in putting water lanterns together?"
The yellow-clothed boy who was with the girl reminded softly: "If you have nothing to do, you will either commit adultery or steal, and your cousin will not pay attention to him." ”
The girl dispelled her thoughts when she heard this.
Liu Dayuan next to him added fuel to the fire in order to curry favor with the fake Shangguan Rui, "Hmph, this young lady really doesn't know what to do, but you know that the person in front of you is the famous Shangguan Shaoxia of the Wenshi faction, as long as he opens his mouth to invite people to put Krathong, there are so many little girls like you in the city that they may have to queue up from the square to the end of the street." ”
When the girl heard this, the strange admiration in her eyes instantly lit up, "You, are you Shangguan Rui!"
I saw that there was a black mole the size of a small fingernail on the nose of the fake Shangguan Rui in front of him, which was not very handsome but not ugly, and his face was always filled with a confident smile, which added a bit of charm to his originally plain face.
"It's just a recklessness in the next place, how can the city lord be charming. The fake Shangguan Rui's mouth was modest, but the smug look had already hung high on his face like a store's signboard.
Shangguan Rui's deeds have long been circulated in the East China Sea, and the entire young generation in the East China Sea regard him as the object of central fascination. The men and women who were putting krathongs around them heard that Shangguan Rui had appeared, and they all rushed up to see what the legendary mythical figure looked like.
The fake Shangguan Rui was very useful to the surging admiration in the audience, and his chin unconsciously turned towards the sky.
The young man in yellow couldn't help but feel disgusted when he saw the fake Shangguan Rui's ugly demeanor intoxicated with flattery, and his sword eyebrows were even more heroic and hearty, "I didn't expect Shangguan Rui to be such a vulgar person, and he has a false reputation on the way, which is really disappointing." ”
Hearing this, the fake Shangguan Rui's face seemed to weigh a hundred catties, and he sank in an instant, and his eyes stared at the young man in yellow. Before he could speak, Liu Dayuan had already preemptively said: "Out of nowhere, an uneducated wild boy dares to talk nonsense here, if it weren't for your youth and ignorance, I would have kicked you out of Maoxian County long ago." ”
"You are brazen and, you have the ability to let the horse come, why is this young master afraid of you people who tend to be inflammatory. The yellow-clothed young man had a disdainful face, and raised the satin knife in his hand to be ready to unsheath at any time.
Weikong, who was in the distance, heard the young man in yellow scolding these people, and his heart was extremely happy, "Good boy, scold well." ”
Liu Dayuan was stung in the sore spot, and he was ashamed and angry, "Presumptuous, it is not your turn to be wild in this trade county, come here." ”
The two sides rubbed their fists, and the argument was red-faced, and suddenly a hand was raised between the two, it turned out to be a fake Shangguan Rui, "The lord of Liucheng must not be angry, there are countless jealous people in the East China Sea, why bother to meet this smelly wild boy in general, disturbing Yaxing who put the water lantern." "The fake Shangguan Rui was originally a liar, he was afraid that the two sides would really start to make a move, and the scene would get out of control, and he couldn't suppress the situation with his own skills, so he wisely stopped the matter from deteriorating further.
"Shaoxia is really broad-minded and magnanimous, Liu admires it, yes, we don't have to pay attention to this kind of savage kid at all. Liu Dayuan's complexion became very fast, and he suddenly returned to his pleasant appearance just now.
The young man in yellow also had to admire his speed of changing his face, which was almost as good as Xichuan's face-changing trick, and he didn't come here to make trouble, so he snorted coldly: "This kind of stinky place, Young Master Ben doesn't want to stay for a moment, cousin, let's go." ”
The young man in yellow took the girl's hand and wanted to leave, but the girl looked at the fake Shangguan Rui obsessively, her girl's heart was full of worship for Shangguan Rui, so she had a preconceived impression of the fake Shangguan Rui, even if it was a small casual action of the other party, a simple word, it could fascinate her. The girl broke free from the boy's hand, "Cousin, don't you know, although Shangguan Shaoxia is the grandson of the head of Wenshi, he never shows off in the name of his elders, his achievements today are all based on his amazing cultivation talent and unremitting efforts, he is only thirteen years old and has entered the Holy Spirit realm, this is an amazing entry that has never been seen in the Dao world in the past hundred years, so Shangguan Shaoxia is definitely not a wasted person." ”
As soon as the girl's words came out, the whole voice could be described as a response.
"That's right, that's right, Shangguan Shaoxia is a person with real skills, don't talk nonsense here, you kid who doesn't know the height of the sky. ”
At this time, everyone looked at the young man in yellow with an exclusionary gaze.
The young man had a strong temperament, looked at the accusatory eyes cast by everyone, and looked at the treacherous demeanor of the fake Shangguan Rui who was secretly laughing at him, so angry that he almost cried, "You like to stay here as you please, I'll go first." He turned around and left.
"Cousin, don't be angry, cousin, I didn't mean to count you down, wait for me. The girl spoke for Shangguan Rui, and inadvertently made everyone hate the young man in yellow, which was really not what she wanted, after all, the two had been friends for many years, and at this time they felt guilty and chased after them.
"Let's go, don't be embarrassed here. The audience booed again.
After the two left, the fake Shangguan Rui and his group continued to release water lanterns with great interest.
Wen Shi and the two heroes in the distance muttered: "This kid will let him be angry for a few more days, and it will not be too late to slowly punish him when the matter is done." With that, the two of them brushed their sleeves away......
