Chapter 224 Leave
"Lion dance?" Li Huowang's mind never turned around, and the slowly approaching thing in the distance didn't look like the lion dance in his impression.

First of all, in his impression, the lion dance, which represents celebration, will not be covered with a large piece of dirty-looking thin white cloth, and this so-called lion dance has no head at all!

There is a hazy white light source inside the propped up white cloth, which illuminates everything around through the lower end of the white cloth, and what I saw just now is the light below.

If it was just a shiny white cloth, Li Huowang wouldn't think it was evil.What is more permeating is the shriveled palm prints reflected on the white cloth.

Under the illumination of the light source, the whole white cloth became slightly transparent, clearly presenting the large or small palm prints in front of Li Huowang.

As the lion dance approached, Li Huowang saw more details on the white cloth. There were many white ears on the cloth, just like the white ears on the spirit streamers carried by other mourners.

Li Huowang's eyes gradually moved down, looking towards the lion's feet under the white cloth, and what caught his eyes were some bare feet covered with mud.

If the only thing that can match the lion dance is the feet under the white cloth and the hands supporting the white cloth, as if dancing in a certain rhythm at the same time, they are indeed dancing.

Every time it dances and shakes, there will be a sound of some kind of wooden poles knocking against each other inside the big cloth, as if it is used for accompaniment.

"Brother Li, it's okay. I've seen this kind of thing since I was a child, and I was scared to tears at the time. After watching it a few times, I'm used to it." Sun Baolu tried to help Li Huowang to dispel his worries.

Li Huowang vigilantly pulled the brass mask on his face with his hands, trying to cover his face as much as possible.

"Sometimes what you are used to may not necessarily be safe. Also, why does this lion have no head?"

"Because they haven't been trained as masters yet, they are all still apprentices. Only master lion dancers are eligible to hang lion heads. These boys are just taking advantage of no one coming out to practice at night."

After Sun Baolu explained to Li Huowang, he raised his head and yelled at the lion dancer next to him.Judging from the tone, it seems to be some encouraging words.

However, no one from the headless lion responded to Sun Baolu's words. Like a dead elephant lying on the ground, they slowly walked past Li Huowang with a special melody.

After a while, the lion dancer finally left, leaving Li Huowang with a receding figure, without any reaction to Li Huowang.

"Senior Brother Li, look, Qingqiu is different from other places. It is blessed by the Changshengtian, and those evil spirits dare not make mistakes."

Li Huowang, who was still vigilant, looked up at him, turned around and walked towards the inn.

"You Changshengtian are so stingy? Just bless this one?"

"That's what my people say anyway."

"Are these lion dancers taught by masters and apprentices from generation to generation?"

"No, it's all inherited. There is a group of people in Qingqiu who specialize in teaching lion dance. I heard it's called Lion Dance Palace."

"Lion Dance Palace?" Li Huowang repeated the word to himself. He always felt that he had heard it somewhere, but now he couldn't remember it.

Suddenly, when Li Huowang was thinking hard about this problem, the monk next to him, who was snapping his fingers, stamped his feet anxiously and said hurriedly: "Taoist priest, something is wrong! There is something wrong with those lion head dancers!"

"Huh?" Li Huowang looked at the hallucination of the monk beside him in astonishment, "What's wrong?"

"You didn't count just now? The number doesn't match! The hands supporting the cloth are much more than the feet underneath! There are many hands and few feet, so it's wrong to count! There must be something wrong with those people!"

"Wait!" As Li Huowang recalled the scene just now, his body turned cold.

If it wasn't for the monk's reminder, he almost didn't realize why the lion dancers compare their hands and feet? !
"Senior brother Li?" Looking at Li Huowang who was standing there talking to himself, Sun Baolu took a few steps back with some fear.

Just when Sun Baolu planned to continue talking nonsense to the other party, then he would immediately go back and find someone else to come over with chains, when he saw Senior Brother Li limping inside on crutches.

"Bao Lu, don't sleep today, the two of us will keep watch!"

"Ah? Hey! Good, good!" Although he didn't know why he had to watch the night in the inn, Sun Baolu complied.

In the middle of the night that night, Sun Baolu saw Senior Brother Li who hadn't blinked an eye, and suddenly stood up, telling the others to hurry.

Although others were a little puzzled about why they rushed at night, they did so.

They lost some gold and silver, and a few bags of barley were added to the carriage.and dozens of sheep.

"I'm good at this, I'm good at this! When I was begging for food when I was a child, I let go of sheep for a rich family for two years!"

With Lu Zhuangyuan's volunteering, he temporarily took over the position of sheep herder.

They left Women's Mountain under the moonlight, and Li Huowang, who looked behind him from time to time, had a very dignified expression. Coupled with the exhaustion from not sleeping all night, his face was very ugly.

Seeing this face, everyone felt that something had happened, and no one was thinking about anything else, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressed.

Puzzled, Chun Xiaoman came to Sun Baolu with a sword in his hand, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Senior Brother Li? Isn't he always by your side? Before that, he went out to play with Junior Sister Bai well, how come after one night, he became This kind of virtue?"

Sun Baolu hesitated, and finally told Chun Xiaoman in a low voice. "I don't know either, obviously nothing happened. Maybe."

Speaking of this, his voice lowered a little, and it was almost as small as a mosquito fly.

"Maybe Senior Brother Li is sick again. Didn't he always say that someone was hurting him before?"

Xiao Man glanced at the nervous Li Huowang again, then turned around and went to Bai Lingmiao to find out the situation.

But until he rested by the river, Chun Xiaoman was still at a loss as to what happened.

"Set up the pot, light the collected sheep manure under the pot!"

A few people dispersed and started digging wild vegetables,

Gou Wa's eyes suddenly lit up, and he clasped the two entangled grasshoppers with his hands. He carefully broke off the legs and wings of the grasshoppers with his fingers, and put them in his waist pouch.

"The land in Qingqiu is fat. I've already grabbed a plate of hard vegetables after a while."

After tightening the cloth bag, he lay down on the ground again and continued to rummage in the grass.

Soon his attention came to a small clump of thorns. His fingernails covered with black dirt steadily cut off a tender thorn, and along the edge, he tore off the barbed skin on the outside, revealing the emerald green inside. Green core.

Putting the green core into his mouth and chewing it, Gouwa showed a satisfied expression on his face. This wild vegetable has been eaten by himself, and it tastes good, a bit like crispy celery.

Just when he was about to put these tender thorns in a pot, a basket that suddenly appeared in front of Gou Wa gave him a big jump.

He raised his head and found that it was Chun Xiaoman's basket. After the woman put down the basket, she turned and walked towards Li Huowang who was sitting cross-legged in the distance.

"When you go back, help me take it back with you."
