Taoyuan Festival is the most important annual festival in Taoyuan Town, even more important than the New Year.
Jiang Youning rubbed her eyes with her hands again, still unable to believe what she saw.
She had just slept, and Taoyuan Town had undergone such earth-shaking changes.
People were coming and going on the street, the crowds were surging, and there were sounds of shouting and hawking everywhere. It was very lively. Now she believed that Taoyuan Town was a city.
After leaving the room and going to the dining area downstairs, he grabbed the busy waiter and asked, "Is your Taoyuan Town so lively every year during the Taoyuan Festival?"
The waiter wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied with a smile: "Of course, our Taoyuan Festival in Taoyuan Town is famous throughout the Qingyan Kingdom. This is your first time to participate. This is nothing. Tomorrow and the next two days, there may be even more people."
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter was called away by others. At this time of year, all their stores in Taoyuan Town can make a lot of money.
Seeing everyone's faces outside with smiles on their faces, Jiang Youning couldn't help but be infected by the cheerful atmosphere.
She walked into the crowd with no purpose, because the crowd would lead her to her destination.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, a huge high platform appeared in front of her.
Climbing Gaotao, a withered peach tree appeared in front of her.
"Didn't you say that the peach tree has disappeared? Why is there still a peach tree here?"
And it was still withered. At this time, the trunk of the peach tree was covered with red blessing bags for blessing.
Jiang Youning came near the peach tree, and a man dressed as a Taoist priest stood in front of her. He pointed at the various red blessing bags on his body and said, "Little girl, buy one. Just write down your wishes." Stuff the paper into the lucky bag and hang the lucky bag on the tree. It won't take long before your wish will come true."
After listening to the Taoist priest's words, Jiang Youning immediately understood why the peach trees were covered with blessing bags.
"Will any wish come true?" Jiang Youning asked, blinking her big eyes.
Faced with such clear eyes, the Taoist priest swallowed his saliva and couldn't say the words that reached his lips.
After a long time, he reluctantly raised a smile again and said, "That's natural. As long as your intention is strong enough, your wish will definitely come true."
In the end, Jiang Youning was deceived by the Taoist priest and bought what was said to be the most beautiful lucky bag in his hand for a high price of twenty mystical coins.
Before leaving, the Taoist priest suddenly said to Jiang Youning in a meaningful tone: "Little girl, if you want your wish to come true, try to hang your lucky bag as high as possible, so that the Peach Blossom God can be the first to do so. See your wishes.”
Hearing this, Jiang Youning nodded seriously and said, "Thanks for the reminder."
Jiang Youning took out a pen and paper, and after thinking carefully for a moment, she wrote down her wishes on the paper, then folded the note and stuffed it into the lucky bag.
At this time, Jiang Youning suddenly felt someone tapping her shoulder.
Jiang Youning turned around in confusion and saw a round little face appearing in front of her.
With a round little face and a pair of round eyes, the person who came was about the same age as her, and she was a cute-looking little girl.
"Can I borrow a pen and paper?" the little girl said sheepishly.
Jiang Youning was stunned for a moment, then handed over the pen and paper in her hand, "Take it and use it."
"Thank you." The little girl thanked her with rosy cheeks. Then she quickly wrote down her wishes with pen and paper and put them carefully into the lucky bag.
After doing all this, the little girl returned the pen and paper to Jiang Youning.
"I really want to thank you this time. My name is Xia Xuxu. And you."
"My name is Jiang Youning."
"You Ning, thank you so much this time." Xia Xuxu said very familiarly.
"Is it really effective to make a wish here?" Jiang Youning saw that Xia Xuxu also came to make a wish, so she asked.
"Of course." Xia Xuxu nodded heavily and continued: "But not everyone's wish will come true. Every year the Peach Blossom Fairy will select a few lucky ones from all the people who make wishes, and then they will come true. wish."
"I got up late when I made a wish last year. This time I must hang the lucky bag at the highest place so that the Peach Blossom Fairy will notice me first." Xia Xuxu said firmly.
Seeing Xia Xuxu say this, Jiang Youning also asked her doubts, "Hasn't the Peach Blossom Fairy already left? Why would he still fulfill his wish?"
"Is this your first time attending the Taoyuan Festival?"
"Yeah." Jiang Youning nodded.
"No wonder." Xia Xuxu showed a clear expression, and then explained: "This Peach Blossom Fairy is not the other Peach Blossom Fairy. After the first Peach Blossom Fairy left, the people here replanted a peach tree, and It is the one on the sacred altar that has been worshiped for generations.”
Jiang Youning followed her line of sight and saw the peach tree that was already covered with lucky bags.
At this moment, a fragile branch suddenly broke because it could not bear the weight of the lucky bag, and even the lucky bag hanging on it fell to the ground and was filled with dust.
Everyone who saw this scene screamed in surprise, and several panicked girls ran out of the crowd. They each picked up the dusty lucky bags on the ground, and stood there in a daze, with tears in their eyes.
"If the lucky bag falls, it's a big deal and just hang it up again. Why are you crying?" Jiang Youning looked at this scene with some confusion.
In her opinion, the branches closer to the ends are more fragile. In this case, some people insist on hanging the lucky bags on them. It is strange that nothing happens.
Xia Xuxu patiently explained to Jiang Youning: "Not everyone can come here to make a wish. It must be a teenage girl, and everyone can only hang a lucky bag once. If the lucky bag cannot land, , then you can’t hang it up.”
After hearing her explanation, Jiang Youning suddenly realized that it was no wonder that all she saw here were young girls. At first, she thought it was because the adults didn't believe it.
Xia Xuxu took Jiang Youning to the other side of the peach tree, where there was a strange-shaped stone.
"I discovered this accidentally. As long as we stand on the stone, we can easily hang the lucky bag to a high place."
It's just that the imagination is full, but the reality is very skinny. The stone has been exposed to wind, sun, and rain for many years, and its surface has become extremely smooth. It is very difficult for ordinary people to climb up, let alone stand on it.
