Although it was decided to leave Beijing, after Xie Huaiyu arrived at Xiankeju, he was not in a hurry to leave immediately.

Now it's Shen time, if you want to leave, you can't find the inn halfway, you have to travel day and night.He simply stayed with Bai Zhu in this capital for one night before leaving.

On the night when Baishu first arrived, a night market for worshiping the moon was set up in the capital.

There are a total of three days in the night market, and today is the last night.

If it was at another time, because of Zhao Yan's investigation, Xie Huaiyu would not dare to let Baishu hang around in the capital again.But there is no restriction on the moon worship night market.

There is no other reason, but because the customs of this night market are a bit special, men and women on the street all wear masks, if they are not close relatives, even if they are face to face, they will not be able to recognize each other's identity.

Hearing that he was able to go to the streets with Xie Huaiyu, Bai Shuzi was also very happy.

He was originally a big-hearted person, and when he came and went, the unpleasant things before were also forgotten, so he didn't say anything to add trouble to Xie Huaiyu.

Before going out, Xie Huaiyu only brought out two of the most common white face masks.

This white face mask has holes for the eyes and nostrils, so it is not stuffy.And a round of moon is drawn on their foreheads, which represents the reverence of the people of Daxuan for the moon god.

What Xie Huaiyu took was just a new moon, but what Baishu took was just a full moon.

After putting on the mask, Xie Huaiyu and Bai Zhu got into the carriage and arrived near the market.

At this time, the long street is already crowded with people, and there are all kinds of playing, playing and singing, and there are all kinds of folk gadgets, so it is very lively.

In the first two days, because each family had to prepare and hold the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, many people did not have time to come.On the last day of today, the affairs of each family are almost handled, so the night market is even more lively.

There are many people who wear the same mask as Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu. They wear simple clothes, so they quickly blend into the crowd without being inconspicuous at all.

Because there are so many people, it is almost shoulder-to-shoulder.After walking a few steps, the two were almost separated by the flow of people.In desperation, Bai Shu stretched out his hand subconsciously, and on the other side, Xie Huaiyu also stretched out his hand at the same time.

The two people intertwined their fingers and held each other tightly. They glanced at each other, but they couldn't see the expression, only a gleam of brilliance emerged from a little hole in the eyes.

In order to prevent being separated again, Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu stuck close together to resist the force of people and flow.

Not far away, Xie Huaiyu suddenly caught a glimpse of a man and a woman.The woman was originally separated from the man by some distance, but was squeezed by the crowd and shook a few times. The man next to her hurriedly used her hands to protect her.

Afterwards, the two seemed to communicate with each other, and the man's hand never moved from the woman's shoulder.

Under the mask, Xie Huaiyu raised the corners of his mouth.Suddenly I understood why so many people love to crowd this lively street market.

In the past, he always disliked the night market with too many people and bad smell, so he didn't want to come here.

But today, holding Bai Shu's hand and being here, he finally realized the reason why this night market has never been in decline.

Looking at the street scene of the night market again, I feel that the lights are dim, like a dream. Although there are many people and streams in this scene, the person around me seems to be closer to him.

"What's there?" Bai Shu came to the capital night market for the first time, and it was quite new, but he was already dazzled.

The place he pointed to was surrounded by many people, and there were two wooden stakes one foot high, with a rope tied to them.On the rope stood a bare-chested man with a painted face, holding a long bamboo pole in his hand.

Xie Huaiyu said, "That's the Baixi troupe in Beijing, which is very famous. Today's night market must come out to play. Let's go and have a look."

The two came forward and squeezed into the crowd, only then did Bai Shu get a clear view of the interior.

It turned out that the common people's team set up a fence on the side of the street and circled it with ropes.The crowd stood outside the circle, and they performed inside the circle. After a round of performances, someone came with a money bag to collect the reward money.

Those two wooden stakes, with four corners underneath, were firmly erected on the ground.There are also a pair of big knives on the wooden posts, and a flag hanging on it, which reads a book of swords and fires.

The so-called mountain of knives is the knife on the stake.And the sea of ​​fire is a row of braziers under the wooden stakes, filled with many red-hot charcoals, which looks extremely hot.

The painted-faced man Bai Shu saw, with a patterned mask on his face, was standing on the rope between the stakes.

And below, there was another petite woman, also wearing a beauty mask on her face, tapped a few times in the water with her bare feet, and quickly stepped into the charcoal brazier.

"Everyone, watch out, let's go into the sea of ​​fire!" There was a man below, and he announced the curtain loudly.

The woman walked extremely fast, and when she ran past, there was a magnetic sound of water vapor and steam in the charcoal brazier, and the crowd immediately exclaimed.

The woman jumped out of the charcoal basin after she finished the flames, and stretched out the soles of her feet towards the audience.Bai Shu saw that the soles of her feet were slightly red, but they were not injured.

At this time, many people in the crowd of onlookers cast a lot of copper coins.The man who announced the curtain bent down to pick up all the copper coins on the ground and put them into his money bag.

Wait until the girl's performance is over.The man with the painted face got down from the rope again, performing a show of going up the mountain of knives.

He is well built and muscular.Stepping on the blade with one foot, the speed was very fast, and he jumped to the top of the stake in a short while.

At this time, the announcer man was holding the money bag, and the audience gave rewards again, and after a while, the money bag was bulging.

"Up to the mountain of swords and down to the sea of ​​fire, the performance is over. Anyone want to challenge?" The announcer shouted loudly: "If someone completes it, all our profits tonight will belong to you!

Don't look at these hundred operas as just tricks, but taking advantage of the crowds tonight, these hundred opera performers have also earned a hundred taels of silver.As soon as they said this, several people in the crowd seemed eager to try.

But after entering the field, they were defeated without even passing the first level.

At this moment, Bai Shu was holding Xie Huaiyu's hand, feeling a little excited.He glanced at Xie Huaiyu, and the latter said softly, "Go if you want."

Bai Shu nodded, jumped out of the crowd, jumped in front of the man who announced the curtain, and said, "Let me try."

Bai Shu has never seen this so-called trick of mountains of swords and seas of fire in Zongxing.But if it is analyzed from a physical point of view, as long as the speed is fast enough, nothing will happen.

He has always been confident in himself, and after hearing what the announcer said, he was willing to try it if it wasn't for the money.

The announcer saw that there was another person coming up to challenge him, so he didn't care, so he asked Bai Shu to go up by himself.

Bai Shu is wearing a mask, but judging from his figure, he is only about eighteen or nineteen years old.Boys of this age are always impulsive, and the most people want to come up to challenge.

Bai Shu got the man's consent, took off her shoes, tapped her toes, and jumped steadily onto the edge of the water basin.

The water basin is not big, but an ordinary copper basin filled with clean water.But if you can't grasp the balance, you will definitely step on the copper basin with one foot, so how can you stand firmly on the edge?

With Bai Shu's actions like this, the onlookers burst into cheers, and the man who announced the scene was stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, the woman who was in the sea of ​​flames also moved to the man's side, and the two started whispering.They were originally people who walked the rivers and lakes, but when they saw Bai Shu's posture, they knew that their performance today might be ruined.

Hearing the cheers from the surrounding crowd, Bai Shu smiled slightly, and looked back at Xie Huaiyu.

He dipped his feet in water and flew into the charcoal basin.Tapping his toes was faster than the woman.

All of a sudden, people only saw a mist in the charcoal basin, Bai Shu ran around inside, then flew out, and came to the knife mountain.

"it is good!"

"incredible!"

"come on!"

At this time, the audience was even more excited.They also threw a lot of silver into it, and there were a few taels of silver ingots mixed in.

Bai Shu looked at the mountain of knives in front of him, and tried it with his feet.

The saber was indeed sharpened, and it was quite sharp. It seemed that the man had some skills.

It's just that this mountain of swords is not difficult for him.

Bai Shu kept her body balanced, relying mainly on the strength of her arms, stepped on the blade and quickly climbed up to the top of the wooden pillar. After a while, she stood on the same rope with the painted-faced man.

What he did, the audience burst into enthusiastic cheers.

"The challenge is successful!"

"It's really a hero out of a boy!"

They have watched all kinds of operas in the capital for many years, and they have already seen all kinds of unique skills.

But this is the first time I have seen someone succeed in the challenge, and I am even more excited at this moment.

The painted-faced man had a mask on his face, so he couldn't see any expression.

He punched Bai Shu and flew down.Baishu also fell to the ground.

The announcer man had already collected the money on the ground, and handed it to Bai Shu in a big bulging bag.

Although his face was a bit heartbroken, he was still aboveboard in the end, he never cheated, and he kept his word.

On the contrary, the woman came to Bai Shu at this moment, took off the beauty mask on her face, and revealed a pure and sweet face of only fifteen or sixteen years old.

It's just that this pure and sweet face is a little unhappy at the moment.She pouted and counted Bai Shu and said: "You don't know where your teacher came from, you are so unethical, and you want to tear down our stage, you don't abide by the rules of the world."

There are unwritten rules in the rivers and lakes, and when you meet such a man of all kinds.People who know kung fu can't challenge them, otherwise they will destroy their jobs and deny them a way to survive.

Bai Shu was taken aback, only then did he realize that he might have broken the rules of these rivers and lakes.

He was a little embarrassed, and he was also embarrassed to take the money now.Then he handed the money bag to the woman and said: "I don't have a teacher, I just came here for fun. I don't know your rules. Return this money to you, and I will make amends."

The woman was stuffed with a purse in her hand, and was stunned for a moment, with a blush on her face.

Under the lights, even though Bai Shu was wearing a mask, he couldn't even see his face.But he was well-proportioned and had a nice voice, which made her heart flutter.

She was just about to ask the boy's name again.A man in the crowd came out, grabbed the boy's hand and said, "Let's go, don't delay. Go to another place."

The woman opened her eyes wide, but before she could react, she saw the obedient boy being led by the man, breaking through the crowd and leaving.

She noticed the palms of the two people's interlocking fingers, and she was shocked, and her face turned red even more.

After the painted-faced man came to the side, he said to him: "Brother, those two people are really shocking, they are clearly two men...but...but..."

The painted-faced man smiled lowly, and said in a deep voice: "Silly girl, why haven't you turned the corner yet? The person who challenged you just now is not a young man, but a brother. Put away your little thoughts early, Modo thought about it."
