Chapter 318 318: The Opening Ceremony (Part 2) [Seeking a monthly ticket]
"Ah Zi, are you ready?"
"Let's hurry up, or it will be too late."
"Azi, Azi—"
Lin Feng changed his plain and plain attire from the past. He wore a small amber and light yellow blouse, a long emerald green butterfly skirt, and a tulle with many small ornaments around his waist. He wore a small and exquisite double-ringed snake bun. A long string of pearls is bundled.
Holding an elegant small round fan in his hand.
Look into the room from time to time to urge a few words.
In the room, Yu Zi poked her head out shyly.
He hesitated and said: "Is this okay?"
Lin Feng grabbed Yu Zi's hand, dragged her to go outside, and said, "Why can't it work? This is very good."
She's growing too fast.
In line with the good habit of frugality, I dismantled all the old clothes from before, mended and changed them again—the clothes were made of good materials, they were luggage brought by Lin Feng from his hometown, and some of them that were not easy to change were all put at the bottom .
But Yu Zi was born thin and small, so she was well dressed.
Today’s Fugu Grand Ceremony, the two chose the best ones, which would neither conflict with joy nor violate filial piety taboos. Lin Feng's teacher, Chu Yao reserved a place for them. It's just that the two of them were so busy that they forgot the time and went out in a hurry.
"I don't know if I can catch up with—"
Lin Feng didn't care about his appearance, he lifted his skirt and trotted.
Outside the door, the two accompanying guards had already prepared a carriage drawn by two relatively small, non-human horses.
Yu Zi sat still, thin sweat broke out on his forehead at some point.
Self-reproach: "It's my fault, I forgot the time carelessly..."
Lin Fengdao: "Didn't I also forget?"
If you want to blame, you can also blame the two of them, and you can't blame anyone alone.
She lifted the curtain of the car, and there were few common people on both sides of the road, but they all went in one direction—the main venue where the "First Fugu City New Year Games" was held, which is the southwest corner of Fugu. After nightfall, the opening ceremony will take place there.
Lin Feng originally didn't want to come out for activities.
After all, we are still in the period of filial piety, so entertainment must be restrained.
It’s just that the teacher told her in a slightly mysterious way that today can be an exception, go out and have fun, and miss tonight may regret it for the rest of her life. Lin Feng hesitated for a long time, and came out with Yu Zi. She was going to go back after watching the opening ceremony organized by Lang Jun.
Yu Zi hugged the two mats, muttering worriedly.
"It won't start now, will it?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "It's probably not time yet."
The so-called main venue is actually a large open space next to the small market. The common people were notified in advance to bring mats, futons, mats and other objects so that they could sit on the ground and rest while watching tonight's grand performance. .
Common people don't quite understand this notice.
What are you sitting on the ground watching?
However, since Shen Jun notified, there must be a deep intention, they still took it with suspicion. There are even many ordinary people who blindly and over-trust Shen Tang's orders, and not only bring tools that can sit anywhere, but also snacks.
"Call—"
The **** driving the carriage controlled the carriage to stop.
said: "You two ladies, the place is here."
Fugu City is full of poor people, who travel on two legs, and those who have mules and donkeys at home are very few. The carriage is a travel ostentation that only a few local snakes had before. Therefore, the place where the carriage is temporarily parked is very empty.
Yu Zi jumped off the carriage first.
He raised his hand to Lin Feng who was bending over.
Looking at the pitch-black sky, Lin Feng guessed that it hadn't started yet, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to the "main venue" at a leisurely pace. About half of the people in Fugu City came here. Yu Zi looked at the crowd and was a little nervous.
"Why are there so many people?"
She hugged the two ponies tighter.
Lin Feng was steady: "This is a grand ceremony prepared by Mr. Lang for Fugu and the common people. Of course they have to come out to see it."
Some common people followed the neighbors they knew to occupy a place, sitting on mats, Maza, or simply small stones brought from somewhere, sitting around and chatting. There are also some ordinary people who feel bored and go to the small market not far away.
The two sides of the small market are covered with lanterns.
It is much brighter than here.
Lin Feng and Yu Zi followed the two guards to the place specially reserved for Chu Yao. Only when they got there did they realize that there were already many family members of the government officials sitting here. Lin Feng sat down and looked around but did not see any familiar faces.
puzzled: "Teacher, what about them?"
Yu Zi also said: "I haven't seen Mr. Kang either."
Logically speaking, shouldn’t Mr. Lang and the gentlemen be here too? They are not here, who should host the opening ceremony?
Lin Feng listened blankly to the chattering voices around him, and was worried in his heart whether there was a problem in the process, and Mr. Lang and the gentlemen went to deal with it? If she guessed it right, would it be a big problem? She frowned delicately.
The two sat for a quarter of an hour.
The surrounding area still hasn't changed.
At this time, some common people and the family members of the officials around them couldn't sit still, and the content of the discussion changed from "What kind of surprise did Shen Jun prepare?" to "Is the surprise going to be a shock?"
Lin Feng became more and more anxious.
"Junior Sister, you are here! Let me find it easier."
A familiar voice came from overhead.
The skinny urchin with a large circle opened the Maza and sat down.
Sitting down, Tu Rong asked, "Brother, you're not late, are you?"
Lin Fengdao: "Not yet."
Seeing that there were still residual sweat stains on Tu Rong's face, and the sour smell of sweat was all over her body, which made her very suffocated. Lin Feng snorted and said, "Brother, why don't you wash up and come back again? Or if you stop practicing for a day, the teacher won't blame you..."
Tu Rong smirked: "Stop? That won't work! As a martial artist, perseverance comes first! You can't easily indulge yourself..."
He still wants to grow up and take revenge!
Penance never complains of being tired.
I only hate that there are only twelve hours in a day, it is too short.
While speaking, he suddenly said: "Huh?"
Lin Feng: "What happened?"
Tu Rong replied: "It's probably about to start."
"How do you know?" Yu Zi was quite curious.
"Because the surroundings are starting to get hot." He is not yet a warrior, but his ability to capture the surrounding environment has surpassed that of ordinary people. He still came here covered in hot sweat. It stands to reason that the sweat should cool down quickly, making him shiver with cold.
"Getting hot?"
Yu Zi stretched out her warm hand—I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the air doesn’t seem so cold anymore.
The common people have not noticed this change.
The voice of discussion continued to grow louder and louder.
After about half a cup of tea passed, the air was filled with warmth, and the common people realized something was wrong.
"Look! What's that?"
The common people were wondering, and suddenly there was a shout from the crowd.
Someone looked up and looked around.
People who are relatively close to the city wall can see a barrier rising in the night, and many common people have puzzled eyes. Only some old people are well-informed, and when frightened, they blurted out a sentence: "We must, we must fight!"
What? ? ?
At this time, someone remembered what this barrier was.
This is a city wall barrier!
Non-prefect seals cannot be opened!
This is a defense that can only be activated for a short period of time during war!
The realization rushed into the minds of the group.
But before they hid with their heads in their hands, a new incident happened immediately—a slight tremor came from the ground under everyone's feet, and wisps of literary spirit surged up to the sky from under their feet.
Boom!
A loud bang!
A cluster of gorgeous fireworks exploded overhead.
The brilliance flashes, but it is fleeting.
The private unit sent by the government office to maintain law and order has already taken action. According to the order, everyone should not panic. Just sit down and watch the fireworks. In fact, there will be no major riots if they don't act.
Because the moment the first red firework bloomed with colorful brilliance above their heads, their attention was completely taken away. Before he could recover, the second, third... The dark sky was illuminated by fireworks that bloomed one after another.
Every flower is extremely gorgeous.
The common people have never seen such a scene.
With the fireworks blooming, different colors bloom in circles. It started out as circles, but soon other patterns were added.
"Junior Sister, look at that word! Is that a word?" Tu Rong opened his eyes wide in shock, and shook Lin Feng's arm excitedly.
Lin Feng finally came back to his senses: "It's a word."
The word "joy" is still very clear.
After finishing speaking, another strange round face exploded above his head.
Emmm…
Is that the face?
A pair of eyes, a smiling mouth.
It is very strange that there is no nose, ears and hair.
However, it doesn't look scary, on the contrary, it looks a little naive, making people unable to help but smile knowingly.
"Junior sister, junior sister, what is that?"
Tu Rong looked at the love fireworks that kept exploding.
Muttering: "It looks like a lot of butts..."
Lin Feng stepped on him not lightly or hard.
"Nonsense! This is definitely not some kind of ass!"
"Mr. Lang is fine, why blow up his **** to the sky?"
This pattern must have a very beautiful meaning!
Tu Rong: "..."
Why does this sound so strange?
The sky almost turned into a sea of fireworks, one wave dissipated, and another wave lit up again, making it dizzying to see.
Except for the confusing fireworks pattern at the beginning, the pattern after that is much more normal, and there are surprise cries from the crowd from time to time. Immediately afterwards, the naive twelve zodiac signs such as "rat, ox, tiger, and rabbit" appeared one after another.
Everyone was already dazzled.
Finally, the sky returned to darkness.
Yu Zi regretted: "Is it over?"
The answer is naturally not yet.
There was a louder exclamation from the crowd.
Above the sky, a waterfall composed of golden fireworks poured down. At first glance, I thought it was the Milky Way diverted to the world. The common people subconsciously hugged their heads, but found that the waterfall did not fall to the ground, and disappeared in mid-air.
"what is that?"
One of the crowd pointed to the golden waterfall.
A black spot appeared in the center of the waterfall, which continued to expand, and suddenly burst out a colorful streamer. Spread out a pair of wings, and under the eyes of everyone, it turned into the legendary phoenix. With something in its mouth, the huge phoenix circled nine times around the southwest corner before rushing back to the golden waterfall, which turned back to the Milky Way.
"God, miracle!"
I don’t know who said that.
One after another, some common people kneeled down devoutly.
It wasn't until the private part of maintaining order repeatedly emphasized that this was just a spiritual effect, not the miracle they thought, that it returned to normal. The subsequent fireworks are all clusters of flowers, and there is no such shocking effect just now.
Even some patterns are a little funny.
A string of fireworks footprints came from the direction of the city wall, accompanied by a heart pattern that Tu Rong dubbed "butt".
It lasted for a full cup of tea before it ended.
The common people are still unsatisfied.
When they lowered their sore heads, they realized that the surprise was not over yet, and the surrounding area was divided by rows of fish-dragon lantern corridors, shining a little bit. When someone was curious and tried to take off one, but found that it was empty—is it fake?
"Is this also a firework?" Yu Zi looked at her hand through the tassels hanging from the lantern, a little disappointed.
Lin Feng: "It should be the effect of the literary mind."
"Such as the magic words?" Tu Rong knew that this kind of words would make the enemies trapped in it hallucinate, and then disrupt the battlefield formation. What they saw today should be similar, but the former is lethal, while the latter is purely for viewing.
Lin Feng thought for a while, and said, "Such a large area, such a long time... this burden..."
No wonder I haven't seen Lang Jun and the others until now.
In the entire Fugu City, no one except them could put on such a big battle of words and spirits, and most of their literary spirit was drained. The defense barrier of the city wall was raised in advance, probably because he was worried that "fish that slipped through the net" would be mixed in during the opening ceremony and take the opportunity to make trouble... For a while, Lin Feng was in a complicated and inexplicable mood.
She stood there and looked around.
The faces of the common people were flushed red by the lanterns.
Almost everyone had a smile on their faces, grabbing the people around them to express their inner excitement and share the grand scene just now.
Yu Zi was worried about her: "What's wrong?"
Lin Feng: "Is it worth it?"
"What's 'worth it'?"
The surrounding area was too noisy, and Yu Zi couldn't hear clearly.
Lin Feng murmured to himself: "Exhausted literary energy, a lot of trouble, such a high price... Your husband prepared a surprise, just to let the common people watch it for a while-is it really worth it?"
Yu Zi shook her head: "I don't know."
Lin Feng had a voice whispering in his heart.
【worth. 】
Chu Yao also wanted to ask this question.
Lin Feng's guess is right, Shen Tang's literary energy has indeed been drained - if she didn't have so many weird "asses" on a whim, they probably still have some literary energy left - it's as if five strips have been dried up at the moment of salted fish.
Everyone kept a corner and watched the lantern festival.
Shen Tang is in a group with Chu Yao.
Stay on the unfinished roof and watch thousands of lights under your feet.
"Is there anything worthwhile or not?" Shen Tang tilted his head with a smile, "When will Wuhui ask such a question?"
Chu Yao wanted an answer.
Shen Tang thought seriously: "It should be worth it."
She pointed to the lively crowd watching the lanterns below.
"Wu Hui, you see they are all laughing."
Ordinary people under the cloud of war and hunger give people the most impression of a face that is more bitter than bitter melon, and genuine smiles from the heart are rare. Unless there is a happy event in the family, maybe this year's harvest will be more than before...
It can make them put down the burden of life and all the sorrows, and bend the corners of their mouths sincerely, even for a moment, it is worth it.
She took it for granted: "I don't understand the truth, but a qualified lord should make the people under his rule live a prosperous life, eat their stomachs, and be happy every day. Laugh, isn't it good?"
Chu Yao smiled and said, "Very good."
The protagonist in his eyes at this moment—
is light and flame.
Besides the lord, there is probably no other person in this world. I have gone through all kinds of troubles just to make the common people laugh, right? It made him feel from the bottom of his heart that all the bitterness brewed in those years was worth it.
