Chapter 15
When Susu came to the east of Wuhu with a huge green watermelon, the flame activity in July and a half was coming to an end. The open space ahead is full of men, women and children, most of whom are strong young men and many small dolls. Women are not without, but not many. Most of them are elderly people or young girls. Cardamom girls are almost nowhere to be found. Even if there are, they are dressed in coarse linen clothes, and they look like daughters of a miserable family.
Although there were many people, the scene was not warm, but solemn, and even the air exhaled was depressing.
What a strange stagnant atmosphere~
Cen Biqing picked up Susu and sat on an ancient weeping willow about ten feet away from the crowd. Susu found a wide tree branch for herself, adjusted her posture, handed the watermelon worth three copper plates in her hand, and pouted. Cen Biqing glanced at her. Why, aren't you afraid of him now? The original cautious appearance disappeared directly as soon as it encountered the problem of eating... Finally, Yubai's fingertips held both ends without any force, so he divided the melon into two halves and returned it to Susu. There was still a small blue and white spoon that emerged like a trick in the heart of the open hand.
Susu put half a watermelon on her lap and ate it spoon by spoon. She slipped into the noisy crowd halfway and glanced at it twice and returned to the watermelon.
She swallowed a piece of watermelon and breathed a sigh of satisfaction: "Huh, will Xu Xian come? ...Huh, Xiaoqing, why don't you eat it?"
Xiaoqing's five fingers flipped over and elegantly dug up a small spoonful of melons and put them into his lips. As soon as he entered his mouth, he frowned slightly, and the almost perfect smile on his face was still dripping: "Don't worry, he will come."
Susu unconsciously poked the watermelon and muttered, "They should meet at this time, right?" He rubbed his chin and sighed: "I really hope this will be a good start."
Cen Biqing smiled but said no.
Su Digged a large spoonful of watermelon, swallowed it, tilted her head, and stared at him with bright eyes: "Xiaoqing, do you think it can work this time?" Before he could answer, she said to herself, "What if I fail again? Dailuo is already very shocking. If the herring and white lotus don't work, then I must be directly hit to death. This charming woman sent it to his arms. If he could still be so charming, he would be either bent or incompetent! At that time, I absolutely had every reason to suspect that he couldn't do it. If it really didn't work, we couldn't correct it. The congenital deformity should not be counted on us, right? So failure is inevitable... Do you think the Queen Mother of the West accepts this reason?
Cen Biqing looked back at her gently: "Susu... Eat melons..."
"..." What a tactful dislike~
Susu stopped talking and ate watermelon.
In the middle of the crowd is the temporary mage seat and Shi Gutai. The mage sits in front of the Bodhisattva of the King of Dizang, who has transcended the ghost of hell, and below is a plate of peaches and rice. There are three spiritual cards and soul flags on the Shigutai, which are full of whole pigs, whole sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, and all kinds of hair cakes and fruits. Each sacrifice is interspersed with a blue, red and green triangular paper flag, with the words "The Orchid Festival" and "Ganlu Door Open". When Susu arrived, she met the mage to ring the bell and led the monks to recite various spells and truths.
Su Su didn't understand the truth or anything, so she had to nibble watermelon boringly. When most of the watermelon was nibbled, the ceremony finally ended. Susu had a full hiccup and frowned to see those mages and monks retreat. Several very rich-aged men stepped on the stage. It was estimated that it was the local gentry, led by a smell of corruption, stuffed with people's fat and people's ointment, and his face was full of fat ears, but they sent a sentiment, which was really so discordant. Sense.
When Su Su yawned several times and fell on the willow tree with tears in her eyes, she only heard the old man seem to say, "... Start feeding." The crowd boiled, and Susu opened a pair of foggy eyes and looked at it. The squires sprinkled a plate of peaches and rice in all directions. Three times, many people in the crowd were picking up their clothes. The scene was lively and happy. Susu's sleepiness disappeared a lot, but she was still too lazy to move and squinted and half asleep.
Cen Biqing gently pushed her shoulder and said, "Susu, it's interesting next. You might as well take a look."
Susu then moved back, raised her body and opened her eyes wide. When she saw the crowd reverse a direction and rushed to a larger empty space on one side.
The open space was originally built with a high platform. To be precise, it was a nearly four-story shed, full of all kinds of offerings, and a pure gold medal hung on the top. If it hadn't been for the crowd crowding to the other end, she hadn't noticed it. Susu's mind flashed, stretched out her jade fingers and pointed away, and her eyes were glued with Cen. Biqing asked in surprise and surprise, "What does that table do?"
Cen Biqing replied, "Take the orphan." After thinking about it, he added, "The tricks of mortals are self-righteous."
When Susu had to ask how to do it again, the box had already started with gongs and drums. The crowd spontaneously lined up around the bamboo shed and circled around. It was estimated that there were more than a dozen teams. Each team of five people were strong men, each with a pillar. The fattest squire stood on the platform set up on one side, and it was another foggy speech. Fortunately, this time it was relatively short, and only gave an order. The crowd instantly boiled like dumplings and climbed to the top of the shed.
Susu sat in this room with great pride, ** surging. Unexpectedly, she was lucky enough to see this scene that only appeared on the screen with her own eyes. How like the lion dance won the gold medal! The only pity is that one or two wonderful places will be caught on TV. At the scene, Susu felt that her eyes were not enough to see, but only felt a coax. The crowd had run up several feet. At the beginning, everyone's progress was very fast, but when they reached the top, the crowd stagnated. One by one, you pulled me, and I dragged you. , did not give in to each other, and the more he climbed, the faster someone dragged his feet. At this time, the thin man who was originally far ahead was tied by two people and struggled into a ball a few feet away from the gold medal. The scene was messy in the wind, and several people couldn't stand it during the struggle. Fortunately, The edge is soft sand, which is not seriously injured. However, no one from all walks of life will accommodate each other. Instead, they have achieved a situation of mutual repression. On the contrary, no one can move freely. At the critical moment, whoever grabs the gold medal first has become secondary. The main idea has become an idea to prevent others from grabbing the gold medal.
The scene became rigid.
At this time, it was the latecomer. A slender man appeared in the inconspicuous corner at the bottom of the shed, with a vigorous and beautiful posture, like a dragon. His clothes were flying, and he easily bypassed the people wrapped in a group of hands and feet, like walking on the ground, unimped all the way. During this period, several people wanted to hold him, but the man was agile, and they were tied up and caught. He couldn't stop the corners of his clothes, and under many burning eyes, he went straight to Huanglong and won the gold medal.
Cen Biqing is thoughtful. The rapid retreat is called an opportunity. He is very smart.
Susu nodded randomly and gave a thumbs up to this person in her heart: What a ** running position~
When the man returned to the ground with the gold medal, the squire came forward as usual and proposed to invite the young hero to stay and gather together. Unexpectedly, the man just smiled and bowed, "Thank you for your kindness. Please forgive Hanwen for not being able to accompany me. My sister is still waiting for me to go back to dinner. Say goodbye." After saying that, he turned around and left, which happened to be the right side of Susu's head.
When the man turned around, his eyes inadvertently swept to Susu's side. His eyes were deep, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and there was no smile. Susu was stunned and subconsciously hid behind Cen Biqing.
"It doesn't matter. I set a boundary, and he can't see it."
Susu was relieved and a little embarrassed about her actions. What did she hide from? After thinking about it sideways, I feel that the face seems to have been seen somewhere... Maybe the handsome men are more similar, right?
A Thunderbolt suddenly exploded in the sea of knowledge, and Susu suddenly swallowed two green-headed flies, Hanwen! Xu Hanwen! He is Xu Xian!
No wonder she saw him in the water mirror a month ago!
Thinking of his previous actions and today's cunning behavior, Susu almost bit her silver teeth and squeezed out two words for a long time: "Shameless!"
Cen Biqing looked at her with a smile. Su Su suddenly felt embarrassed and said, "Personal resentment, personal resentment~" Xu Xian himself may not be wrong, but he is the culprit. Please forgive her for thinking of the Queen Mother of the West and the damn task as soon as she sees him, and finally unconsciously thought of her relationship with Xu Xian. It will be the relationship between prostitutes and benefactors! She was really unhappy.
Cen Biqing is puzzled.
Of course, he would not guess what she thought at this moment, which made Su very depressed. What was that there were so many people sent by the Queen Mother of the West, such as Lanqing, was the best, and other attendants would not be much worse. But in the end, when they encounter this kind of dirty work, they find monsters. Must the monsters be the fox charming ones who naturally like to hook up? Must it be less than those immortals?
Susu put up with it, but still pulled her finger and asked tentatively, "Xiaoqing, you... I mean... that..." She really doesn't know how to organize the language!
Cen Biqing smiled with two stages of encouragement, and his voice was gentle: "What's wrong with Susu, but it's okay to say it."
That's what you said! Susu clenched her fist and said, "Xiaoqing, don't you monsters pay attention to chastity at all? Don't take integrity seriously at all?"
I didn't expect that she would ask such a question. Cen Biqing was a little stunned, frowned slightly, and her face was not worried. It took a long time to make a very faint smile: "Susu, your statement is biased. You are also a demon. Don't you know?"
Susu looked at him tangledly. Her body was indeed a demon, but the one living in it was a real person! He leaned back feebly and explained weakly, "Maybe I was too greedy for the mortal world and had a close relationship with people when I was in Qingcheng Mountain, but I forgot what the real temperament of the monster should look like."
"Do you love the mortal world?" Cen Biqing's eyes became deeper and darker, and her eyes narrowed slightly, "Who has Susu been secretly with? Huh?" A word "um" was dragged thousands of times, and the bones of Susu were crispy.
Well, how could she know! If you look for the root, you will definitely not be able to please him. Su Su moved her mind and simply played a scoundrel. She pulled his sleeve and pretended to be annly, "Xiaoqing, don't think this can change the topic! You haven't answered my question yet!"
"If I remember correctly, I didn't promise you to answer."
Susu was surprised: "You said it clearly!"
"But is it okay to say it?" Cen Biqing was unhappy and was even more ruthless when hitting people. "Susu, I asked you to tell your questions to ease your melancholy, but I didn't promise to answer you."
You are a melancholy aunt! Susu stared in disbelief and couldn't wait to stare at a flower on her smiling face. Unexpectedly, she pretended to be a scoundrel and gave her a trap! But she can't refute it! She turned her back in anger and exhaled a turbid breath. After a long time, she squeezed out two words from between her teeth: "Despicable!"
She scolded Xu Xian for being shameless today, and now she has given Xiaoqing despicableness. The despicable and shameless two are a good match. This good girl, who is neither despicable nor shameless, but also kind and innocent, should not be dragged into this muddy water.
"Susu," Cen Biqing stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder. He might as well be slapped off by her. He took the initiative to show his softness in exchange for such an end. His face was suddenly a little unhappy. When he called Susu, his tone had been lowered, with two faint pressure.
Su Suse shrank for a moment. Naturally, she didn't know what he thought. She only felt that he was inexplicable today, but she herself was also puzzled. She actually ventiled herself for these little things and thought carefully. Maybe it was really like what Xiaoqing said that day. Although they were whitewashed with peace, they never trusted each other. She was angry not because he hid it from her for a small problem, but because of grievance. Why was she forced by the old woman of the Queen Mother of the West? Why should he be threatened by the kid Lanqing riding on his head? Why should I be attacked by the carp spirit in the moon pool? Why do you have to live in fear and seduce Xu Xian, who can't beat a piece of hard work? Why do you want to fight with a cold-blooded snake demon in this completely strange place? Obviously, they are suspicious of each other but still pretend to be sisters? Her Russell is really aggrieved and cowardly! Still angry, she looked at Cen Biqing's frown and sneered, and said strangely, "Miss Xiaoqing, we still keep a good distance so as not to misunderstand!"
Cen Biqing's face suddenly turned black, staring at her and said word by word, "Who told you that I'm a woman?"
Su Su didn't hear the words clearly. A group of children in buns under the weeping willows ran by holding a paper lotus lamp. There was a noise. Su Su suddenly woke up. What is she doing? A small * can cause such a big resentment. If this really provokes her current food and clothing parents, how can she bear it? Thinking of this, Su Su suddenly pointed to the child under the tree and said an incredible "huh" and asked Cen Biqing as if nothing had happened: "Do you still put the lights here in July and half?"
Xiaoqing didn't say anything, but his face replied a little.
"Xiaoqing, let's go and have a look!" Su Su was secretly relieved and looked at him with a pleading face. Her eyes were foggy, like an abandoned puppy.
Cen Biqing was angry and funny. He never thought that this man was so shameless. He was just angry with her and said such nonsense. How could he change his face in the blink of an eye? As if nothing had happened. Is he too careless, or is she too careless? What's more, I didn't expect that he, an aquarium master, would really compete with her. This patience is indeed not as good as before! With a sigh, he still held Su Su's hand and said, "Let me go."
