As night fell, Izumozhai tonight was not as quiet as before, but noisy.

People walked out of their homes and headed towards the east of the village one after another.

The Spring Festival is held there.

A Rui ran to the courtyard and asked Su Yu and Luo Xunfeng to go out together.He changed into plain white clothes, covered with a crimson gauze, and looked well-dressed.The confession to Su Yu during the day seemed to have no effect on him, his face was full of anticipation and excitement for the celebration.

Luo Xunfeng and Su Yu's clothes were one green and one blue, one was wearing a wide-sleeved robe, which was low-key and luxurious, and the other was a narrow-sleeved slim-fitting military uniform, which was restrained and restrained.

They came to the gate of the courtyard and met A Rui's parents.A few people arrived at the east end of the village, and the celebration had just begun.

The night sky is full of stars, and a tall bonfire is set up in the middle of the open flat ground. A group of people wearing colorful costumes and masks of gods and monsters are singing ancient songs with beautiful melodies around the bonfire. They hold opera props in their hands. There are long sticks and rattles, singing and dancing.Others in the village packed food and wine in bamboo baskets and took them to the open space, eating, drinking and laughing while enjoying the performance.

"These people danced from the legends in our village, the stories of people divination, praying for blessings, and expelling demons. You see, the white snake dancing in the hands of those people represents the red pupil." A Rui explained to Luo Xunfeng and Su Yu.

They walked into the crowd as they talked, and everyone was sharing the food they brought with them. Fruits, snacks, barbecue, and fine wine were overwhelming. If they walked around, their stomachs would be full.

"Is this called 'Deer Neck Cake'?" Luo Xunfeng took a light purple dumpling wrapped in leaves, took a bite, and asked the villagers.

"Yeah, it's very glutinous, right? It's delicious to eat while it's hot." The villager said to him with a smile.

Luo Xunfeng nodded, and turned his head to see that Su Yu seemed a little restrained in the face of the enthusiastic villagers, and hardly accepted the food offered by others.

He patted Su Yu, and the young man hurriedly looked at him, waiting for orders, but his expression seemed relieved.

Luo Xunfeng turned the dumpling he took a bite out of in his hand, handed the uneaten side to Su Yu, and said with a smile, "Taste it, it's delicious."

The young man was startled for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth, took a small bite of the dumpling, and the fragrant smell immediately filled his teeth cheeks, he blinked his eyelashes while chewing, the firelight dyed his dark eyes faintly golden red.

"Master Xie." Su Yu swallowed the food in his mouth and said.

Luo Xunfeng laughed "puchi", "Is it delicious?"

"En." Su Yu nodded obediently.

"Do you want more?" Luo Xunfeng asked while holding the dumpling.

Before Su Yu could answer, the villager next to him stuffed a deer neck cake into Su Yu's hand, "There are still a lot here, brother, take one."

Su Yu looked at Luo Xunfeng, Luo Xunfeng nodded at him, and then he took the snacks and thanked the villagers.Turning around again, I saw Luo Xunfeng holding the original cake and stuffing it into his mouth.

"..." Su Yu hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Luo Xunfeng raised his eyebrows.

Su Yu hurriedly shook his head, lowered his head and pursed his lips.

At this moment, Ah Rui ran over from his parents, and said to them, "My sister is at the high platform, let's go over and say hello."

Luo Xunfeng looked in the direction of A Rui's finger, and sure enough, he saw a platform opposite the bonfire, from a distance he could see Shangguanyue in white and several other people sitting on the platform, greeting the crowd below from time to time.

"Let's go." Luo Xunfeng said.

After taking two steps, his footsteps suddenly stopped slightly, Ah Rui didn't notice it, and was still walking forward, while Su Yu slowed down, and exchanged a glance with Luo Xunfeng.

"Master?" His eyes swept around quietly, there were many people, men, women, old and young came and went with smiles on their faces.

"Oh, interesting, it seems that we are being targeted by someone." Luo Xunfeng said.

"Could it be someone from Chai Kun?"

"Never mind him, if he wants to ask for trouble, just come."

The two followed Ah Rui to the high platform.

Apart from Shangguanyue sitting on the table, Ziyuan, Elder Tian, ​​a young man and an old woman were all dressed in costumes embroidered with dark patterns of totems. There was a low table between them with snacks on it. and wine glasses.

Ah Rui introduced everyone, and it turned out that the young man was the elder Si Yao in the village, and the other was the elder Si Shi.

"Elder Duanmu used to be my father's student, and his literary talents are so good. My father thought he would go to the imperial examination to become an official. I didn't expect him to stay in the village and take over the mantle of the previous elder Siyao." Ah Rui whispered Said to Luo Xunfeng and Su Yu.

The man named Duanmushu looked to be in his early twenties. He was clean and handsome, with a bookish air. He seemed to faintly hear Ah Rui talking about him. He smiled at them and said, "A Rui, please hurry up." Friends sit down and have a drink."

"Ah, that's right," Ah Rui clapped his hands and ran to Zi Yuan's side, "Sister Zi Yuan, did you bring the peach blossom wine I asked you to bring?"

"Bring it with you," Ziyuan stretched out her hand and scratched the bridge of A Rui's nose, "I'll wait for you to come to me." Then, she took out a small wine jar from the bamboo basket beside her, and handed it to him, " Here, take it."

Ah Rui tore off the seal of the wine jar, took a clean empty bowl from the table, and poured out half a bowl of wine.

The wine in the bowl reflects the crescent moon, and one or two pink petals float on it, looking clear and bright.

Ah Rui picked up the bowl and sniffed lightly, the corners of his mouth curled up, he cast his eyes on Su Yu, with a slightly restrained expression, and walked towards Su Yu step by step.

At this moment, Su Yu who was standing next to Luo Xunfeng suddenly looked terrified, stepped down, and turned over the high platform.

"Come out!" Su Yu landed on the bottom corner of the high platform like a swallow, and pulled out a person hidden behind the wooden pile.

With the scream of the woman, a girl in a yellow dress staggered out of the shadows, and her round almond eyes were illuminated by the bonfire.

Su Yu was stunned, only felt that the woman in front of him looked familiar, and immediately let go of the hand holding the girl's shoulder. Just for a moment, he had detected the meridians of the woman in front of him who was not a martial artist.

"It hurts!" the woman frowned, clutching her shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Luo Xunfeng also turned over from the high platform.

"Master, I..." Su Yu was embarrassed. He had been paying attention to the person following him and Luo Xunfeng just now, and when he felt that person's aura staying under the high platform, he immediately rushed down. He never thought that it was a A young girl with no martial arts, no wonder the aura of the stalker was so poorly concealed along the way.

"Are you...the woman who was almost hit by a mad cow that day?" Luo Xunfeng recognized the girl in front of him.

"Ah, you are very polite." The girl put down her hands rubbing her shoulders, and gave Luo Xunfeng a little blessing.

"Sorry, if my family Su Yu offended the girl just now, I will accompany you on his behalf." Luo Xunfeng punched the girl.

Su Yu pursed her lips and lowered her head. As soon as she lowered her head, she saw Luo Xunfeng waving at him casually behind her back, and heard him ask, "I just don't know why the girl has been following us since just now?"

The girl in yellow panicked suddenly, her face blushed, she grabbed the hem of her clothes with one hand, and her eyes flickered at Luo Xunfeng.

At this moment, Ah Rui came down from the high platform carefully holding the wine bowl.

"Brother Su Yu—" he called Su Yu and walked up to several people.

Seeing the wine bowl in A Rui's hand, the woman in yellow was startled for a moment, then as if she had made up her mind, she took out a small earthen pot and an empty bowl from the bamboo pocket on her shoulders, poured the liquid in the pot After pouring it into a bowl, a scent of wine diffused immediately, and there was actually a peach blossom floating in the wine.

"My lord, my little girl would like to treat you to a wine tasting." /

"Brother Su Yu, try this wine."

The woman in yellow and Ah Rui spoke out almost at the same time, and raised two wine bowls to Luo Xunfeng and Su Yu respectively.

"..."

"..."

Luo Xunfeng raised his eyebrows, and Su Yu's eyes were slightly surprised.

On the high platform, Shangguanyue, Ziyuan, Duanmushu and others were looking down, Ziyuan grinned, Shangguanyue said "It's just nonsense", turned and walked towards the steps.

"Isn't it good? It means that Ah Rui has grown up and knows how to pursue what he wants." Duanmushu said behind Shangguanyue.

Shangguanyue turned her head, and saw Duanmushu standing in the clear moonlight, with the hem of her clothes slightly raised, looking at herself with a smile on her lips, she hesitated for a moment, and stopped in her tracks.

Under the high platform, Luo Xunfeng looked around and found a few people in the crowd who were passing wine bowls to others. They were all young men and women. Once the other party took the wine and drank it, the two would leave together.

A faint guess came to Luo Xunfeng's mind.

At this time, some people discovered the situation on Luo Xunfeng's side and gradually surrounded them.

Looking at the two people who were holding the wine bowls, they both had burning eyes with varying degrees of nervousness, the woman looked shy, and Ah Rui looked expectant.

The crowd began to stir slightly.

The two lifted wine bowls stubbornly stopped in the air.

Su Yu looked at Luo Xunfeng with a troubled expression on his face.

Luo Xunfeng raised his hand and touched his nose. Suddenly, his eyes rolled, he reached out and snatched the bowl from Ah Rui's hand, raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth.

The surrounding atmosphere froze instantly.

Luo Xunfeng didn't seem to notice it, he raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth, then smiled at Ah Rui, "This wine is not bad."

Ah Rui wrinkled his expression together, looking extremely frustrated.

The woman in yellow at the side bit her lip and lowered the wine bowl in her hand, turned around and ran away.

Luo Xunfeng secretly squeezed his left eye at Su Yu who was beside him as if his scheme had succeeded.

The corners of Su Yu's mouth seemed to hook slightly, and he looked relieved.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the crowd of onlookers suddenly became excited and began to shout——

"Oh! Oh! Duel! Duel! Duel—"
