On this day of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the sun is shining and the sea breeze is gentle. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Everyone gathered on the edge of the island, boarded the cargo ship one after another, and sailed towards Zhoushan City.
This time, those who went to Zhoushan to visit the temple fair, except for Huang Yaoshi, Feng Heng and the disciples of Peach Blossom Island, all went there.
Qu Lingfeng was holding the three-year-old good baby, Mei Chaofeng was standing at the bow of the boat with his arms folded, and Su Mu, who was a head shorter, stood beside him.
Lu Chengfeng sat in the middle of the cargo ship, sixteen years old, he was only half an inch taller than Mei Chaofeng, wearing a white dress, with a graceful demeanor, even more windy than Su Mu, which made Su Mu extremely jealous.
Wu Mianfeng and Feng Mofeng stood at the stern of the boat, and Feng Mofeng leaned out of the side of the boat with half of his body, staring intently at the sea.
The cargo ship traveled for half an hour to Zhoushan City, and everyone jumped off the ship, leaving a few servants to guard the cargo ship, and the rest landed on the coast.
On this trip, the purchase of Peach Blossom Island was in charge of the next person, and the other people went straight to the direction of Dinghai Temple.
Dinghai Temple is on the other side of Zhoushan City, and it takes a long distance to cross the main island of Zhoushan.
Everyone rented a carriage and rushed to the opposite side, but they were not in a hurry, they came out to play on this day, and they had been promised by Huang Yaoshi, if they couldn't go back that day, they could spend the night in Zhoushan.
Dinghai Temple is located in the east of the ancient city of Dinghai near the foot of the mountain, although it is outside the city, but it is very lively.
At this time, at the foot of Dinghai Temple Mountain, there are many street vendors, small merchants and hawkers, juggling, so lively.
There is also a dense crowd of tourists and pedestrians, blocking the road up the mountain.
Everyone got out of the carriage and watched the lively temple fair, some of them couldn't wait to blend in.
Before Feng Heng could speak, Feng Mofeng swished into the crowd and disappeared.
"This stinky boy. ”
Feng Heng wanted to explain a few words, but seeing that Feng Mofeng was gone, he had to quickly say: "Let's get together, remember not to get separated, if you are separated, gather at the leopard rock outside the mountain gate of Dinghai Temple." Qu Lingfeng, you go and look at Feng Mofeng, don't let him run around. ”
Hearing Feng Heng's words, Qu Lingfeng squeezed into the crowd with a good baby, obviously holding a child, and the surrounding crowds were crowded, but Qu Lingfeng was like a fish in water, walking between tourists, not bumping into anyone, and disappearing into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, Su Mu couldn't help but praise Qu Lingfeng's martial arts far beyond himself, even Mei Chaofeng couldn't be so dexterous.
Qu Lingfeng went to find Feng Mofeng with his good treasure, and the rest of the people followed Feng Heng, slowly following the crowd and walking in the direction of Dinghai Temple.
Everyone is not in a hurry to go to Dinghai Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, anyway, the worship ceremony has ended, and there is no need to arrive early, this time the purpose of everyone is to play at the temple fair.
There are a lot of things sold at this fair, but they are roughly divided into three areas.
The first area is the local product market, which is the farthest away from Dinghai Temple and close to the official road, and most of the goods are placed on the ground.
The things sold are farm tools, pots and pans, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, boxes, chairs, and some novel products.
Feng Heng and the others were not interested in these goods, and directly ignored the past and went to the second area.
The second area is mostly jugglers, storytelling, singing, dancing and acting.
It is also home to the largest number of people, and most of the people hang out here.
As soon as he entered this area, Wu Mianfeng pointed not far away and shouted, "Senior Brother Qu and Senior Brother Feng are there. ”
Su Mu looked in the direction of his finger and found that Feng Mofeng was standing in front of a shop, holding a longbow in his hand, and there was an arrow wrapped in cotton cloth on the bow, pointing far ahead.
Su Mu was a little curious about what he was doing, but he couldn't see it when he stood here, so he walked over there.
Feng Heng and others also followed, and when they arrived next to Feng Mofeng, they found that there were two shelves in front of Feng Mofeng, on which were placed gadgets, including puppets, dolls, grasshoppers woven from palm leaves, sachets, rouge gouache, and Chinese knots woven with red threads and copper coins, among which there were eight long knots, crane-shaped knots, and double fish knots, hanging on wooden frames.
The items on these wooden shelves can be taken home if they are shot down by arrows, and the arrows are wrapped in cotton cloth to ensure that they are not injured.
Feng Mofeng's body was short, but his arms were strong, the longbow bowstring was stretched into a full moon, the arrows on the bow were aimed ahead, his right hand loosened the string, and the arrows flew out.
Sou.
The long arrow flew straight between the rag doll and the sachet on the wooden frame, but it didn't touch anything.
Seeing this scene, Feng Mofeng was a little discouraged, but here he picked up an arrow and shot it towards the wooden frame.
After shooting several times in a row, Feng Mofeng only shot a Pisces knot, handed it to Ganbao, and said, "Ganbao, I didn't shoot the rag doll, this is for you to play with." ”
Baby took the Pisces knot with a happy smile on his face and played with the Pisces knot.
The others were not very interested in archery, and everyone went to the next stall together, which was a game of rings.
The items were placed on the ground, much the same as the ones on the archery game shelves just now, but with a few more groceries.
When Su Mu saw the ferrule, he became interested, and shouted like the merchant inside: "Boss, how do you calculate the money?"
The boss replied: "A circle of five cents, you can take it away in the set." ”
"It's not cheap. ”
Five cents is about equivalent to about five yuan in later generations, and one circle is five, which is not cheap.
Su Mu didn't care about the money, and said with a smile: "Then the boss is here for ten circles." ”
The boss handed over the ten wooden rings and found that these wooden rings were very elastic, and they would bounce up when thrown on the ground, and they would easily pop out if they were trapped.
Su Mu smiled lightly, aimed at the farthest rouge gouache box, stretched out his arm, flicked his fingers, and the wooden circle slowly flew out and landed on the gouache box.
Su Mu immediately shouted, "Boss, bring it." ”
The boss's face darkened, and he walked over and picked up the rouge gouache box, which was the most valuable thing in it, worth 400 yuan, and it would cost more than 100 yuan in the future.
I didn't expect this kid to be the first to put on rouge gouache, which is worth more than ten wooden rings.
The boss handed over the rouge gouache cartridge, hoping that Su Mu would just be accidental this time, and if he shot every time, he would lose a lot this time.
Su Mu took the rouge gouache, Qu Lingfeng, Lu Chengfeng and the others looked at Su Mu intently, wanting to see who he gave it to.
According to the general truth, Su Mu should give the rouge gouache to his wife, but during this time, everyone found that the relationship between Su Mu and Mei Chaofeng was not generally intimate, everyone found out about the intimate behavior of the two, and the two disappeared after eating at noon, and they didn't know where to run to make love.
Su Mu lived up to expectations, directly handed the rouge gouache to Mei Chaofeng, and said, "Senior Sister Mei, you can take it." ”
Mei Chaofeng looked at everyone's teasing eyes, moved his body out a little uncomfortably, and said, "I don't want to." ”
Su Mu followed again, and said with a dead face: "You take it, I'll set it for you." ”
Mei Chaofeng rolled his eyes, reluctantly took it, and said, "Don't send me these things in the future." ”
Su Mu turned a deaf ear, but planned to send more in the future, and sent Mei Chaofeng to become a lady.
Everyone immediately smiled heartily, except for Feng Heng who knew the inside story, Qu Lingfeng, Lu Chengfeng and others all felt that it might be Su Mu's pursuit of Mei Chaofeng but it didn't come to fruition, after all, the two were too old, and Su Mu was too young, but he was twelve years old and underage. Mei Chaofeng is eighteen years old, long past the age to be married, how can he like a little kid?
Su Mu hit the target this time for the first time, and the remaining wooden circles were not wasted, and the items were put in them one by one.
The boss's face grew darker and darker, and he almost cried at the end.
The reason why Su Mu is so accurate and hits every shot is because of the result of cultivating the Orchid Whisk Acupoint Hand.
The Orchid Whisk Acupoint Hand is not only used to hurt the enemy, this martial art can make the fingers dexterous, cooking, handicraft, and writing are of great help.
Su Mu only needs to correct the position and pop out the wooden ring, so that he can accurately set it.
By the time Su Mu finished the ten traps, the arms of the surrounding brothers were already full of items, and the good baby was holding a doll puppet in his hand, and he couldn't close his mouth happily.
Su Mu was still a little unfinished, but the boss was about to cry, facing Su Mu with an old face like orange peel, but he still pretended to have a pitiful expression, Su Mu was a little disgusted, and finally gave up.
Everyone then played some games, such as Duanshi, which is also an archery game, a large disc in front of them, painted with various patterns, and you can get prizes if you shoot, as well as the magic trick of the three immortals returning to the cave, a seller holds three bowls in front of him, holds a small ball in his hand, and puts the ball into the bowl with a technique, so that everyone bets on which bowl to guess which bowl is in which bowl, which bowl has a few balls, guess the money according to the odds written on the cloth to give money, guess the money is in the hands of the artist.
Mei Chaofeng was interested, confident that with her eyesight, she could easily see which bowl had a ball.
But the results were brutal, and each time the results were different from what was guessed.
Mei Chaofeng frowned, she saw the process of the opponent's hiding the ball, and she also saw the technique clearly, knowing that sometimes he did not put the ball in the bowl, but hid it in the palm of his hand, and sometimes put two balls in the bowl.
But the guesses are all wrong, which makes Mei Chaofeng sigh that the strong have their own strong hands, even ordinary people who are powerless have their own strength, and there are others they can't compare.
But Su Mu said a few words in Mei Chaofeng's ear, Mei Chaofeng's eyes lit up, and he bet again.
This time, Mei Chaofeng hid a stone in his hand, and after he buckled the bowl, Mei Chaofeng put the broken silver down.
When the artist saw the two taels of silver, his face was a little salivating, and he opened the bowl quietly, and at the moment of opening the bowl, he threw the ball in his palm into the bowl, and actually did his hands and feet when he opened the bowl.
But at the moment when the artist opened the bowl, Mei Chaofeng popped the stone with a flick of his fingers and hit the small ball.
A white shadow flew by, and the small ball disappeared, and when the bowl was opened, the small ball inside was revealed, exactly the same amount as Mei Chaofeng guessed.
Then Mei Chaofeng was condescending, looked at the entertainer and said, "Give money." ”
The artist knew that he was coming to practice his family, so he didn't dare to slack off, and gave three times the money to Mei Chaofeng.
After Mei Chaofeng took it, he was a little proud, and the people around him exclaimed, he earned four taels of silver at a time, and he was afraid that he would lose what he earned as an artist in a day.
Just as everyone gathered together to be proud, a group of people were juggling at the corner of the street not far away, and the gongs and drums were beating loudly, and they began to ask the spectators for money.
Chen Xuanfeng, who is alias Chen Aniu, was just at the end of the performance, and when he saw an exclamation coming from here, he subconsciously looked over.
When he could see the tall figure in the crowd clearly, Chen Xuanfeng's eyes shrank.
It's Mei Chaofeng.
Chen Xuanfeng wanted to go over to say hello to her, but then he saw Mei Chaofeng's senior brother and his wife Feng Heng beside him, and a group of people laughed and played, which made Chen Xuanfeng feel a wave of anger in his heart.
I'm juggling here, but you're not happy.
Chen Xuanfeng suppressed his anger, stood up, took a long sword in his hand, and took a city god mask to put on his face, and burrowed into the crowd.
Behind him, Ah Qing stood up and shouted, "Brother Niu, where are you going?"
Seeing that there was no reply, Ah Qingyin gritted his teeth and chased after him.
