Chapter 168 Carnival

The busiest time for the Carnival in Water City is at night, but even so, the central square is still overcrowded during the day, almost to the point of being crowded.

Zuo Dinglin grabbed Xia Yue's hand tightly, fearing that if he was not careful, he would be scattered by the crowd.

After Zuo Dinglin and Xia Yue squeezed into the center, they saw a group of dancers in exaggerated costumes and exaggerated makeup dancing the local characteristic dance of Shui City.Xia Yue and Zuo Dinglin didn't understand what they wanted to express, but it was pretty good.

In addition to dancing, there were also actors singing on stage, and they sang in the local language. It was very pleasant to hear, and Xia Yue was almost fascinated by it.

After watching the dance and listening to the song, Zuo Dinglin and Xia Yue began to stroll around the square. There were many small stalls in the square, and the stalls generally sold local snacks or small toys.After Xia Yue and Zuo Dinglin walked around, they had a lot of things in their hands. There were food, things to play, and some gifts for the family to take home.

Eat what you want, and buy what you want, Zuo Dinglin and Xia Yue then set their sights on some game stalls.The game booths on the ground are somewhat similar to the water booths, but the same game feels different when played on land and on water.So even though Xia Yue had played it before, he took Zuo Dinglin to play it again.

After playing all the games, the sun has almost disappeared on the horizon.In order to occupy a good position, Xia Yue dragged Zuo Dinglin to the stage in the center of the square to wait.Fortunately, the two of them were not hungry at all after eating snacks all afternoon. Otherwise, it would be a problem whether they could squeeze in when they came back from dinner, let alone whether there was a seat.

There were obviously quite a few tourists who had the same thoughts as Xia Yue and the others. After a while, the edge of the stage was crowded with crowds, and there was still nearly an hour before the evening carnival began.

The waiting time was always long, but fortunately Xia Yue and Zuo Dinglin didn't feel bored chatting. With a few deafening cannons, the carnival officially started.

After the carnival started, a group of local residents in long robes, wigs and masks came out from behind the stage, danced around the stage, and yelled at the sky from time to time.Whenever the actors roared, the surrounding audience also shouted.At first, Xia Yue and Zuo Dinglin were embarrassed to shout, but afterward, both of them were infected by the atmosphere and couldn't help but dance and shout loudly.

It's a bit embarrassing, but I have to say it's really fun and fun when you're fully into it.After the opening dance, a man jumped onto the stage with a torch and began to breathe fire.

Because Xia Yue and Zuo Dinglin were standing in front, whenever the man sprayed out long flames, even if he knew they would not be burned, he would subconsciously lean back.

After the fire-breathing show, another person came up to perform singing, then women's dance, magic and so on.There are so many shows that it is dazzling, but no matter what show the actors perform, the makeup of the actors is the same, with robes, wigs and masks.

In the middle of the performance, a lot of fireworks suddenly rose around the square, and the whole central square became brighter in an instant.The fireworks went on for nearly half an hour. When the fireworks were over, Xia Yue felt that his neck was not his own anymore, and his neck was sore when he looked up. Zuo Dinglin was angry and funny, and even more distressed.

"Tell me about you. It's not that you haven't seen fireworks on weekdays. I want you to watch them less and let your neck rest and you won't listen." Zuo Dinglin rubbed Xia Yue's neck and scolded angrily. road.

Xia Yue was also a little embarrassed, for such a grown-up person, his neck became sore from watching the fireworks, it would be embarrassing to say it.

Zuo Dinglin originally wanted to say a few more words, but seeing Xia Yue blushed, he closed his mouth. Although Xia Yue had a good temper, Zuo Dinglin didn't want to sleep on the sofa in case he became angry from embarrassment.

The carnival night almost didn't end until dawn. Zuo Dinglin didn't think about going back early at first, but he didn't say anything when he saw that Xia Yue was in a high mood. Isn't it just one night? There are days without sleep.

Although they didn't sleep all night, neither Xia Yue nor Zuo Dinglin felt sleepy at all. After returning to the hotel, they even had breakfast and took a shower before going to bed.

The two slept until the evening before getting out of bed. The waiter said before that the carnival would last for three days before it ended, so after dinner, they went to the central square at Xia Yue's suggestion.Because they came late, the two didn't grab the best spot, but fortunately, they weren't too far from the stage.

Xia Yue originally thought that today's program would be the same as yesterday's, and was worried that it would be boring, but he didn't expect that none of today's program was the same as yesterday's, and Xia Yue couldn't bear to close his eyes when he watched it.Halfway through the performance, the fireworks bloomed again. Xia Yue learned his lesson this time, and took a rest after watching the fireworks. When the fireworks were over, there was no problem with his neck at all.

The two played again until dawn before returning to the hotel. For two consecutive nights, the day and night were turned upside down. Both of them couldn't bear it, and they slept until almost six o'clock in the evening before getting up.When the two rushed to the central square, it was already overcrowded. They thought they would still watch the show today, but they didn't expect that the stage in the central square had been demolished and replaced by a tall pine firewood pile.

Xia Yue asked the tourists beside him and found out that the first two days of the carnival in the water city were actually preheating, and the last day was the most lively and craziest time.At [-] o'clock in the evening, the mayor of the water city will personally light the pyre, and then everyone will start singing and dancing around the fire, and some people will even sway the tourists with paint powder.

It was only then that Xia Yue and Zuo Dinglin realized that many of the tourists around were holding things in their hands. After a closer look, they turned out to be paint bags, apparently for throwing after the party started.

"Dinglin, I see there is a stall selling paint bags over there, you should go buy some too." Xia Yue looked at the paint bags of the people around him and was moved.

Zuo Dinglin will naturally not refuse Xia Yue's request, but he is a little worried about letting him buy it alone and leaving Xia Yue alone. .”

"But if we go together, what if we can't squeeze in for a while, you better go, I promise to stay here obediently." Xia Yue refused without thinking.

Seeing Xia Yue's resolute attitude, Zuo Dinglin had no choice but to go and return quickly, but he thought so, the number of tourists had reached the peak at this time, almost to the state of being close to others, even if Zuo Dinglin used the fastest By the time he returned to Xia Yue's side, more than half an hour had passed.

Seeing Zuo Dinglin come back, Xia Yue also breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Yue actually regretted not going with Zuo Dinglin when he saw more and more people just now.

Almost as soon as Zuo Dinglin came back, the last carnival over there began. As soon as the Mayor of Water City lit the woodpile, the flames instantly burned from top to bottom. Obviously, there was a lot of oil poured on the woodpile.With the igniting of the flame, the whole square seemed to be opened by a key, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively, and people began to sing and dance to celebrate the festival.

Although Xia Yue and Zuo Dinglin couldn't sing local folk songs or dance local dances, they still danced with the big team. They imitated the movements of the locals and were sweating profusely after a while. .

Some people danced with the team, while others had already started throwing paint bombs at the people around them, and after a while, the air began to be filled with various colored powders.

Xia Yue and Zuo Dinglin originally wanted to dance a little longer. Zuo Dinglin even saw a local couple dancing a pas de deux, and pulled Xia Yue and wanted to dance along.As a result, before the dance even started, he was hit by a paint bomb coming from the sky.

Xia Yue was still a little confused when he was hit, and looked at Zuo Dinglin in a dazed way with his purple-blue paint on his face, obviously he hadn't reacted yet.

Seeing the paint on Xia Yue's face, Zuo Dinglin burst out laughing, and before Xia Yue could react, he also threw a paint ball on him, then turned and ran away.

Xia Yue finally came to his senses, wiped his face and ran after Zuo Dinglin with a paint bomb.

Zuo Dinglin didn't really intend to go anywhere, and after running a few steps, Xia Yue deliberately caught up with him and threw a paint bag on him.Seeing Xia Yue's proud expression, Zuo Dinglin raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

At the beginning, Xia Yue only dared to throw paint bombs at Zuo Dinglin, but as more and more paint bombs came from nowhere and landed on him and Zuo Dinglin, Xia Yue also completely let go of himself and started to look around. The "bomb" was dropped, and the whole square was completely immersed in a sea of ​​pigment powder, and the air was filled with various colors of powder, which were extremely gorgeous.

This time, the crowd didn't wait for dawn to disperse. Basically, they began to retreat one after another in the middle of the night. They couldn't even stand the body after three days of playing iron fight, let alone when they threw paint bags at each other just now. All of them consumed a lot of energy.

It can be said that Xia Yue and Zuo Dinglin were the first batch to retreat. After getting on the boat, the two of them looked at each other's whole body without a clean spot, and they both covered their stomachs and laughed out loud.

"Now I know why so many tourists come to the water city's carnival. It's really fun." Xia Yue stretched out his hand to dial the water, and said with a smile.

"If you like, we'll come back next year." Zuo Dinglin was worried that Xia Yue would turn over, so he stretched out his hand to pull Xia Yue back.

"You can have this. Next year, Tang Yi and the others will be called together, and it will definitely be more lively." Xia Yue agreed without thinking about it. In the past three days, Xia Yue can be said to have played crazy.

Zuo Dinglin naturally nodded in agreement with Xia Yue's proposal, thinking that Tang Yi and Ji Youran both love to play, Zuo Dinglin felt that next year they would definitely play even crazier than this year.

It was fun when throwing the paint bag, but it caused a headache when washing it. Zuo Dinglin and Xia Yue washed it three or four times before completely washing off the paint on their hair and face.Both of them were a little thankful that the robes wrapped them tightly, otherwise the water in the bathtub would have to be changed several times.
