Summon players, rebuild Dawei

"Brother Zhou, help me light up the lamp, it's too late!"

Because he didn't rush over to set up a stall until the county school was over, Guan Feng had just set up the shed when the surrounding stalls were almost ready.

Seeing that the time was approaching six o'clock, he hurriedly took out the prepared lanterns from the sack and asked Zhou Shi to help him hang them up, while he quickly placed the lanterns on the table.

When the last dozen gift bags were placed, it was exactly six o'clock, and the game panel popped up a reminder that the "La Festival Carnival" event had officially started.

Guan Feng heaved a sigh of relief, leaned lazily by the table and said to Zhou Shi: "Thanks to your help, otherwise I would be too late, Brother Zhou, you are really a good roommate of Da Wei!"

"It's just a little busy, it's nothing to worry about." Zhou Shidan smiled, and white mist came out of his mouth when he spoke.

The winter night is bitterly cold, and there is even a thin layer of snow on the side of the road, but because the street is brightly lit, the chill is somewhat melted away by the lively crowd.

After finishing the work at the stall, Guan Feng had time to pay attention to the surrounding situation.

Noticing that in the middle of the street directly opposite to his booth, there was a wooden platform with a height of half a person, and flags were planted around the platform, he couldn't help but wondered: "Hey, why did we build such a big platform here? Isn’t the flow of people blocked here?”

"This place should be the shrine for the sacrifice." Zhou Shi explained for him.

"Shed?"

"Well, it's the resting place for the Nuo God's parade. Fang Xiangshi brought the twelve gods and beasts to drive Nuo here. Those who pretend to be gods will put the leader and the mask of the Nuo God here for the people to worship and worship."

Guan Feng understood for a while, and suddenly realized: "Then isn't this the climax of the whole ceremony, the place where the parade stays the longest and is the most lively?"

"It should be so."

"Wow, I've won the first prize! As expected, I didn't snatch the wrong seat. The stall has to be opposite the government office!"

Guan Feng couldn't help being happy, and then sighed: "It's a bit deserted now, and the flow of people is not as much as the last Lantern Festival. Are you all following the Nuo God parade? Hey, come here, please open it for me quickly. Open!"

Just as he was muttering this, a female player with the green name "Rong Ying" came to the booth.

Rong Ying glanced critically at the packaging bags on the stall, picked up a bag tied with a ribbon and asked, "How do you sell it?"

"This one is a little more expensive, five yuan each." Guan Feng replied, turning his gaze to the fox ears on the top of her head, and asked, "What are you wearing?"

"Nine-tailed Fox Fairy, isn't it obvious enough?" Rong Ying turned around and showed him the nine tails behind her.

I probably couldn't find a suitable prop. The tail was neither fluffy nor furry. It was just a few pieces of white cloth that mopped the floor sewed on the back of the clothes. I couldn't really notice it unless I looked carefully.

"You are too sloppy." Guan Feng couldn't help complaining.

"Bad, I'm too busy getting ready to prepare." Rong Ying waved her hand and immediately asked, "Can wholesale be cheaper?"

"[-]% off for more than [-] pieces, [-]% off for more than [-] pieces."

"I don't need a hundred, give me fifty."

"Okay, it's the first time we open, and I'll give you a big bag!" The first deal was a big deal, and Guan Feng couldn't help but smile. After the other party paid, he asked curiously, "You also set up a stall?"

"That's right, it's the fourth stall on your right."

"What do you sell?"

"Sell some trinkets, lanterns, etc. Why don't you go and have a look?"

"Okay, you bought so many things from me, I must support your business."

There were no customers around right now, so Guan Feng asked Zhou Shi to look around the booth, while he went to the booth next to him to hang out.

He had already observed the two stalls next door. One was a player selling folding fans with inscriptions and paintings on the spot, and the other was an NPC selling cakes. He was not interested in either.

Guan Feng suddenly felt his eyes light up when he walked in front of Rongying's booth.

I saw more than a dozen lanterns of different colors and styles hanging on the shelves around the booth, including ordinary rattan lanterns, crimson gauze lanterns with gauze hanging down, and flower-shaped lanterns.

The lanterns are particularly delicate and beautiful. The petals are made of silk winding, and they are folded into various flowers such as epiphyllum, lotus, and other flowers. There is a candle in the center, and long tassels hang down from the bottom, which is smart and beautiful.

Even if Guan Feng is a man, seeing such exquisite objects, he can't help but want to buy one and hold it in his hand.

"Your craftsmanship is professional, it's amazing!" Guan Feng sighed, picked out a chrysanthemum lantern and asked, "How much is this?"

Rong Ying smiled slightly and replied, "It's not expensive, 690."

Guan Feng took a deep breath, let go of his hand quickly, turned around and walked to the middle of the booth where hair accessories were displayed, without changing his face, he said: "The lantern is not suitable for a rough and tough man like me, let's buy a hairpin."

However, these hairpins are not cheap, and the decorations on them are either wrapped flowers or hot silk flowers.

The first thing he saw was a white peony flower hairpin. The white peony petals made of real silk were layered on top of each other, thin and light, and shone with a crystal clear light golden light in the dim light. It was really shockingly beautiful.

Even if he didn't need it, Guan Feng still wanted to buy one for his collection when he was moved by such pure beauty, until he asked the price, eight hundred yuan, which was not enough for all his belongings, and the heart of appreciating beauty was forced to wither just as soon as it was ignited. .

Having suffered two setbacks in a row, Guan Feng already regretted coming over at this time. If God could give him another chance, he would definitely not say anything to support the business.

He rubbed his sleeves feeling a bit troublesome, tangled for a while, and finally chose a green bamboo hairpin that looked the simplest among the dazzling array of accessories, and said: "Your things are too expensive, or this bamboo leaf hairpin." It is the most elegant and suitable for scholars."

Rong Ying still had a smile on her face: "Oh, this one is cheap, 88 yuan."

"..." After a moment of silence, Guan Feng gritted his teeth and bought it in order not to lose face.

Back at his booth, Zhou Shi saw that he was holding a packing bag of his own property in his hand, and asked doubtfully, "What did you buy?"

Guan Feng forced his smile away, and handed the packaging bag in front of him: "For you."

Zhou Shi raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, took the bag and opened it, and saw that there was a green bamboo hairpin inside that was not cheap at first glance, he quickly handed it back and said: "This gift is expensive, I can't accept it."

"It's okay, I've delayed you for so long, and I may need you to show me a booth or something tonight. This is just a thank you."

Zhou Shi still wanted to refuse, Guan Feng patted him on the shoulder forcefully: "Treat me as a brother, don't refuse!"

"...Okay, I'll accept this." Zhou Shi finally accepted the gift and said with emotion, "If you need me in the future, feel free to mention it."

"That's right, we are Wei Guohao's roommates!" Guan Feng said, hooking his shoulder.

While laughing, he suddenly raised his brows, turned his head and looked towards the east of the city: "Eh? I seem to hear the sound of gongs and drums. Is the parade coming?"

"I heard that too." Zhou Shi said.

Guan Feng couldn't help himself, and hurried to the street to investigate the situation.

Sure enough, the sound of the drum came from the parade. Standing on tiptoes and looking forward, I saw thousands of heads in the distance illuminated by the lights.

From a long distance, he saw Fang Xiangshi, who was covered in bear skin, striding forward amidst the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, surrounded by twelve divine beasts wearing hideous masks and long feathers. They either shook their sleeves, or Jumping, walking, striding, and fighting with weapons in hand, they exorcise ghosts and epidemics, eliminate disasters and bless the people.

Further on, players dressed as ghosts and gods and common people praying for blessings from the gods could be faintly seen. The crowd was crowded and it was so lively!

Infected by such an atmosphere, Guan Feng couldn't help laughing heartily: "Here we come! We're almost at the gate of the county school, and we're finally going to be lively here! Haha!"

·

When the sound of gongs and drums reached the inside of the official office, it was time for the celebration banquet to come to an end.

At Qin Shang's suggestion, Jiang Shu brought a group of drunken officials to the mansion to pay their respects.

At that time, the Nuo God team had just entered the stage, and the pretenders were reciting Nuo words and dancing Nuo dances to the music. The audience was crowded with people watching the ceremony. At a glance, there were player panels with screenshot functions turned on everywhere.

Jiang Shu only glanced at the crowd, and soon turned his attention to the Nuo dance.

It was the first time for him to visit the Nuo ceremony up close, and he couldn't help being shocked by the majestic scene in front of him.

Against the background of the sound of drums and lights, the masks of the Nuo gods look particularly fierce and terrifying. They dance exorbitantly to expel and devour the plague ghosts, and roar "Nuo, Nuo" in their mouths, creating an atmosphere in the whole venue. This powerful and mysterious momentum, like ancient witchcraft, is shocking to the heart.

Immediately after the Nuo dance, there is a more solemn sacrificial link. Rich sacrifices are placed on the table of the shed, and the Nuo god also puts his mask and chief head on it for the people to worship.

The sound of gongs and drums paused, and for a moment the audience was enveloped in a sacred atmosphere. The common people knelt down and prayed to God.

Some prayed for a good harvest and good weather in the coming year, and some prayed for a prosperous population and a long and healthy life. Even the players were affected by this atmosphere, and they clapped their hands together to wish good luck, pass every exam, and so on.

The solemn atmosphere lasted for a quarter of an hour, and then the gongs and drums sounded, and the parade set off again. The performers put on their masks again, and drove towards the west of the city along the way.

As the crowd dispersed, the guards who blocked the gate of the government office to protect the officials from being collided had to be ordered to retreat.

Now that the celebration banquet was over, Jiang Shu asked the officials to leave separately. Those who wanted to go to the lantern festival went to the lantern festival, and those who wanted to go back to rest could also go back to rest.

Seeing that it was so lively outside, the officials couldn't hold back their desire to travel together, and they bid farewell to the envoy one after another upon hearing the words.

After a while, the gate of the government office was completely empty, leaving only Jiang Shu and Xie Min.

After returning to the mansion, Jiang Shu suggested as he walked: "It's a rare festival, why don't you and I change our clothes and go out for a stroll together?"

Xie Yin frowned slightly, but was interrupted when he was about to speak.

"You don't want to reject me, do you?" Jiang Shu blocked his words, turned to look at him and asked seriously, "Brother Xie, are you really not angry with me?"

Xie Min didn't answer, and said calmly: "The Lantern Festival is so noisy, it's inconvenient for you and me to travel."

Listening to him avoiding the topic, Jiang Shu pursed her lower lip and said, "It's okay, I prepared this."

As he spoke, he took out two thin ghost masks from the sleeves of his official robe, and handed him one in front of him: "Put on the mask, and no one will know who you are."

Xie Yin stared at the blood-red hideous ghost face in front of him, and was speechless for a moment.

Since the other party was so well prepared, he had no choice but to nod and agree.

A quarter of an hour later, the two dressed in swallow clothes and wearing ghost masks sneaked out of the gate of the official mansion with a few songs, and quietly blended into the crowd of people visiting the lantern festival.

Thinking that no one would know her when she was wearing a mask, Jiang Shu swaggered to the stall where she was buying folding fans, picked out a fan, and was about to ask the stall owner to write "what are you worried about" on the fan, when the other party suddenly opened his eyes wide Pointing at the top of his head, he said, "Damn it, Brother Shu!"

Then he pointed to the side: "Damn it, thank you beauty!"

Jiang Shu: "..."

How could he forget that the player can see through the existence of spies in the crowd at a glance!

This mask simply hides loneliness.

Jiang Shulue turned to look at Xie Min in embarrassment, and silently put down the fan in his hand.

Xie Yin: "Are you still shopping?"

Jiang Shu nodded as a matter of course: "It's all here, let's go forward."

Although the masks are useless to the players, at least they brought a trilogy, which is protected by the trilogy, at least the safety is guaranteed, but it is not convenient to go shopping, the stalls of the aborigines are okay, and the stalls of the players dare not get close to each other Look carefully.

——Jiang Shu really didn't want to hear the sighs of "Brother Shu" one after another.

While wandering around, Jiang Shu's eyes flicked to both sides, and suddenly locked on an item at a stall in the front right.

He hastily reached out and grabbed Xie Min's sleeve, and said briskly: "Brother Xie, wait here for a moment, I will come as soon as I go."

Xie Yin didn't know why, so he followed him subconsciously and took a step forward, then stopped his movement suddenly, as if he suddenly remembered something, retracted his steps slightly stiffly, and stood there waiting in a daze.

Not long after, Jiang Shu returned mysteriously with his hands behind his back.

Because of the clutter of pedestrians shuttling around and the burly figure covering him, Xie Min didn't know what he was doing.

He was curious, but he restrained himself from asking, pretending not to care and said, "Let's go."

"and many more!"

Jiang Shu didn't expect him to be so impatient, so she hurriedly stood sideways to block his footsteps, took out the white peony flower hairpin she bought just now and handed it to him, coughed lightly and said, "I heard that men in Beijing often travel with hairpin flowers... This flower is for you, don’t be angry with me, okay?”

Xie Yin was dazed, stared at the pure and soft white peony flowers in front of him, and then raised his eyes to the young man in front of him.

Yue Mo felt that this was not sincere enough, so the young man took off his mask and smiled at him with the corners of his mouth pulled up, his eyes shining brightly.
