[Comprehensive] Love between the two worlds

Riddle asked passers-by about a mile away and there was a small river, which was a tributary of the Qinhuai River. In previous years, the dragon boat races of this generation were held by that river.That river is an important source of drinking water for the residents in this area, and Fu is very densely populated, so many restaurants have been opened along the river, and the business is booming.

A group of three then passed through the crowds and came to the river.In the distance, you can hear the hustle and bustle of people.When I came to take a closer look, there were rows of people standing on the bank of the river, which was completely blocked.Most of these people are ordinary people, and they don't have much time to play, so they took the whole family to watch the dragon boat race during the festival.

Riddle could easily pass over the crowd to see the scene of the river, but with the height of Daiyu and Zijuan, they could only see a thick human wall.

"That won't work," Riddle said.

"We might as well go to the restaurant." Daiyu said, "Find a private room by the river."

"Yes, there are really too many people here, and I can't see a dragon boat or a dragon's tail." Zijuan said as she wiped her sweat from the heat.

The restaurants here are all well-decorated, and it can be seen that only people with a certain status can come.

Riddle walked in and said, "Shopkeeper, I want a private room facing the river."

The shopkeeper smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, guest officer. Look at this big festival. Who doesn't want to stay in the private room and watch the dragon boat race comfortably? The private room near the river has been booked out long ago. I'm sorry, sorry. Can't stop..."

Daiyu said, "How about double the price?"

"This, this?" The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Since the guest officer is so sincere, then the little old man can't help the guest officer's wishes. This morning, a master just happened to say that he wants to check out..."

Daiyu secretly tugged on Larry Del's sleeve.Passing the money bag to him, Riddle knowingly handed the money over to the shopkeeper and said, "No need to say much, just take us up."

The shopkeeper hurriedly beckoned Xiaoer to bring people up.It really is an elegant room with an excellent location.

The three of them took off the gauze hats and let out a long sigh of relief.

Zijuan didn't want to sit down, but wanted to serve the two of them, so Daiyu pulled her to sit down.

Looking down from the window, the painted dragon boats on the river are parked side by side on the starting line.A group of men wearing bunts of different colors are preparing in full swing.

"What a disgusting profiteer." Zijuan spat.

"It's understandable for the store to want to make more money during the festival." Daiyu took a sip of tea: "Besides, we really didn't make a reservation beforehand."

"In the UK, Christmas merchants often stock up on good-looking pine trees early in order to sell them at sky-high prices before the festival." Riddle said.

U.K?Christmas?Zicuckoo was puzzled, why had he never heard of it?

Riddle glanced at the bustling scene under the window again, and couldn't help sighing: "Compared with the current chaotic scene in continental Europe, this place can be regarded as paradise."

"I have always thought this place is very good. It is so prosperous here, and we are used to standing in the center of the world and regard ourselves as the kingdom of heaven." Daiyu said softly: "It's just who would have expected that China, hundreds of years later, would be so prosperous. Will fall into such a deep disaster?"

In an instant, the thoughts of both of them drifted to hundreds of years later, the world that possesses magic but is still precarious.

Zicuckoo was confused and didn't know what to say, so she had to drink water.

Suddenly, there was a loud yelling from downstairs. It turned out that the dragon boat race had begun, and the men were offering dragon boats to the gods.

"A sacrifice to the Dragon God!"

"Second sacrifice to Qu Zi!"

"Three sacrifices to ancestors!"

Every time I shouted a slogan, I bent down and bowed.The voice fell, and the lingering sound lingered in the air, echoing endlessly.The leader threw zongzi, wine and so on into the river.Shout out, "Dragon boat please!"

People at the bow untied the colorful ribbons on the dragon's head one after another, and threw them to the pedestrians on the shore.

Daiyu said: "In the past, the purpose of inviting a dragon boat was to pull the dragon boat out of the port, but now the procedure is much simpler."

Zijuan said: "Miss read so many books, how do you know everything?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "It's just that I know a little about these mundane things. The one who really knows a lot should be the 'Li Gongzi' beside you."

The corners of Riddle's mouth curled up slightly, and he didn't say a word, but just gave Daiyu a vague look, and Daiyu was inexplicably guilty.

Downstairs, the dragon boat had already been dispatched, and the men shouted slogans in unison, paddling vigorously, and the water splashed like broken ice and snow, and the momentum was monstrous.The encouragement and cheering of the audience can even soar into the sky, so lively!

Zicuckoo couldn't help but came to the window and cheered for them.

At this time, the shop waiter brought up sake, realgar wine, rice dumplings and various snacks.Suddenly seeing Daiyu sitting with a smile on her face, she couldn't help but froze there.

"What are you looking at?" Riddle's voice was a little sinister for some reason.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Xiao Er hurriedly apologized, only then did he notice that this young master in brocade clothes and blue robes was actually a foreigner.

"I don't need to serve you later," Riddle said.

Xiaoer Nuonuo said yes, and withdrew.

"What's wrong with the world? A barbarian can marry such a beautiful person and is willing to mix with a barbarian. I'm afraid that woman is not from a clean family. She is not allowed to look at her, so why pretend to be noble..." Xiaoer was jealous, Said in a voice that only you thought you could hear.

"Ouch! It hurts!" He stepped on the ground and rolled down the stairs.

"Pfft." Daiyu couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so bad?"

Riddle said, "Did I do something wrong?"

"Yes, that's right." Daiyu smiled and said, "I'll reward you with a zongzi."

"What's right?" After a round of dragon boat racing, Zijuan was distracted and noticed the house.

"It's nothing." Daiyu cut the tangled thread with scissors, "It's time to recover, let's eat zongzi."

"Okay, girl." Zijuan hurried over to help.

"What stuffing do you want?" Daiyu asked.

"You can dial whatever you want," Riddle said.

Daiyu's face slowly turned red, "Since this is the case," she put a peeled rice dumpling on a plate for Riddle, and said with a smile, "Jujube rice dumpling, I don't like it the most, here you are. Remember to finish eating. "

Riddle reluctantly took it, bit off most of the rice dumpling, and bit the whole red date into his mouth.

Daiyu propped her chin with her hands and pursed her lips.

"Young Master, I don't know. My girl actually likes jujube stuffing, but she has a small appetite and often can't eat red dates." Zijuan said, pushing a plate of white sugar in front of Riddell: "Jujube stuffing tastes light. It tastes best when dipped in sugar."

"Zicuckoo, why did you tell him?" Daiyu complained.

She didn't know that Riddle kept looking at the small face she held in both hands, and didn't even hear what Zicuckoo said clearly.

Daiyu suggested: "It's too boring to just eat zongzi. Why don't we fight zongzi leaves?"

"What kind of fight?" Riddle said.

"One person will take apart a zongzi and see who has the longest zongzi." Daiyu said, "The person who is the shortest will be punished by the person with the longest. You can choose any punishment."

"It's such a novel way to play, I've never played it before." Zijuan was elated.

Riddell said everything was up to Daiyu.

"Wasting food is a gentleman's despicable behavior, just play a game." Daiyu said, quietly closed her palms, and recited Buddha, Dao Zun and Meilin.Just picked a zongzi.

The three of them unwrapped the zong leaves and compared them.I don’t know if it’s because Daiyu’s approach worked, but her zong leaves are the longest, and in comparison, Riddle, who was the most dishonest—he patronized Daiyu when he was choosing—got the shortest. Zongye.

Daiyu thought: "How should I punish?"

Zijuan said: "Girl, realgar...?"

Daiyu suddenly realized, she patted the realgar wine away, dipped some liquid between her fingers, stood up and smiled at Riddle, "This is a custom here, paint it, I hope you can avoid all kinds of poisons."

Riddle sat on the chair and raised his head slightly to facilitate Daiyu's movements.Just as Daiyu wanted to move, she suddenly said: "Close your eyes quickly."

I originally wanted to draw the character "Wang", but for some reason, I changed my mind temporarily and changed it to draw an "s" shaped snake.It is the coat of arms of Slytherin.

After Riddle closed his eyes, his sense of touch became clearer.The feeling of Dai's tender fingers sliding gently across his forehead was so clear that while the skin on his forehead was itching, his body also became numb, and his fingers trembled slightly in the wide sleeves of his robe.Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder why he could like Dai so much, to the point that even he himself was afraid.

Daiyu said, "Okay."

Zicuckoo came over to have a look: "What is this? A snake?"

When Riddle heard it, he and Daiyu looked at each other and smiled.Daiyu said: "It is said that the tiger is the king of beasts and can ward off evil spirits. Then the snake, as the king of poisons, should be even more afraid of evil poisons."

Zijuan said silently, almost forgot that Mr. Riddle could turn into a snake, and he didn't know why...

After an hour of dragon boat competition, the three most outstanding teams were finally selected, and they were going to decide the winners and losers in the afternoon.But Daiyu and the others were already lacking in the nature of dragon boats, so they couldn't help but look at other things.

Putting on their gauze hats, the three set off again, walking among the crowd.Zijuan didn't want to leave when she saw the fire-swallowing sword juggler, so she simply stayed and made an appointment with Daiyu to meet here in three hours, urging them to play by themselves.

"Can you?" Daiyu asked.

"Don't worry, girl, Zijuan won't get lost, but you have to be careful, don't let our girl get lost or be abducted." Zijuan joked, and quickly covered her mouth: " How can you say such a thing!"

Daiyu said, "You, you."

Riddle said, "Don't worry."

The two turned around and left. With the cover of the wide sleeves, Riddle held Daiyu's hand, and Daiyu did not break free.There are quite a few small stalls in the market.Daiyu saw someone selling long-lived five-color thread, so she couldn't help but bought one for Riddle to wear on her hand.There happened to be a mother and daughter next to her, and the mother was putting on five-color wisps for her son. Riddle couldn't help but said helplessly, "Dai, what do you think of me?"

Daiyu paused, blinked her eyes hidden under the scarf, smiled innocently, and continued to move her hands.

Riddle simply took a five-color thread and tied it on for Daiyu: "Let's be children together."
