As soon as Su Qingluan said this, all the girls, including Tian Xing'er, looked at her with a very strange look.
If I had to describe it, it would be a look like "Are you seeing a joke? You don't even know?"
kindness?
Su Qingluan's head was filled with questions: Did she miss any important information?
Tian Xing'er asked curiously: "You don't know what day it is today?" Maybe the wound she was bitten before was still a little painful. Maybe Su Qingluan helped her in front. At this time, she didn't feel as bad as she did at the beginning. His aggressive attitude has gone away and he has become much calmer.
The four girls behind them also changed from being worried and wary just now to looking at Su Qingluan with more admiration and intimacy.
However, their expressions are still very speechless, probably - you don't know, are you a fool?
Su Qingluan thought for a while: "Today is Qiqiao Festival, so what?"
At this moment, several people across from me were really shocked. They were obviously very speechless. Look at me and I look at you.
Finally, Tian Xing'er asked uncertainly: "You don't know the custom of the Qiqiao Festival?"
Su Qingluan shrugged and resorted to the tried-and-tested method of amnesia due to high fever: "I had a high fever before, and I can't remember anything before, so this is the first time I've celebrated the Qiqiao Festival since I can remember."
The expressions of the girls across from him immediately changed from shock to sympathy, and then they came forward and talked to Su Qingluan about the various customs of the "Qiao Qiao Festival".
In fact, regarding the "Qiao Qiao Festival", except for the food-related custom of "Qiao Guo", Su Qingluan's impression of this festival in her previous life was more of e-commerce promotions, flowers, roses, chocolates, candlelight dinners and so on.
At most, she knew that there was an event about worshiping the Weaver Girl to pray for dexterity, and various competitions about who was more skillful - but she didn't know what the specific competition was.
"There are many projects that can be competed." The girls introduced them to her in a hurry, while Su Qingluan evaluated each one in his heart which project he could participate in, treating it as a festival ritual.
"It's better than needlework." Her mother-in-law is good at this, so she forgets it.
"You can also do paper-cutting." She is a little interested in this, but she is not good at it.
"I've also seen competitions for making sweets and steaming flower cakes." Oh, it sounds like she should be very good at this, but I don't know if there are any requirements regarding appearance.
"And catching spiders..." Tian Xing'er finally added in a low voice, "It was just because I was trying to catch spiders that I got bitten by that insect."
Su Qingluan's face was filled with questions: Spider? Was it the spider she was thinking of? Or is "spider" a synonym for something else in this era?
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Su Qingluan asked the people opposite him in detail what the so-called "spider" was.
Then the other party said that she understood correctly. The "spider" they talked about was the "furry arthropod insect that can spin silk, build webs" in Su Qingluan's knowledge.
Su Qingluan said she was shocked: she didn't know much about the relationship between Qiqiao Festival and catching spiders.
"Actually, it's for the spider webs..." The other girl named Liu'er said timidly, "We will put the spiders we caught in the box. Whoever's spider builds a web and the shape of the spider web is well-proportioned and complete will be counted." What a coincidence."
Su Qingluan blinked: "Then...is this 'Deqiao' yours or the spider's?"
Everyone:...It turned out to be an angle that was never imagined!
Su Qingluan continued the soul torture: "Spiders have different types and habits. What if we catch one that doesn't like to build webs?"
Everyone: ...It involves a blind spot of knowledge!
Su Qingluan took a panoramic view of the reactions of the girls opposite, sighed speechlessly, and turned to go back to the house.
"You...why are you leaving?" Tian Xing'er couldn't help but follow the first two steps behind, but didn't follow any further.
Su Qingluan waved her hand: "You wait there, I will get you something."
After a while, Su Qingluan came back. She took a gauze net with a wooden handle about the height of a person and some strips of cloth.
"I'll lend you this -" Su Qingluan handed the net to Tian Xing'er, "If you see a spider, don't get too close to it, and don't climb a tree. Just use this to catch it."
As she said that, she glanced around the yard and happened to see a white butterfly.
Su Qingluan greeted them: "Do you know how to use this net?" Seeing the little girls across the way shaking their heads like rattles, she pointed at the white butterfly, "I'll make a show, and you can take a look."
As he said that, he spotted the white butterfly and pounced on it with the net. When he saw it, he quickly flipped the net and trapped the white butterfly in the gauze.
"The key is to take it out. You have to do it gently and steadily, otherwise the scales on the butterfly's wings will shake off. Although spiders don't have scales, some can bite, so you have to be more careful."
Su Qingluan slowly pinched the wings of the white butterfly and caught it out: "You should also be careful when catching insects. If it is not enough to catch the target, shake the net and turn it over so that the insects will not escape. go out."
After thinking about it, she added, "But spiders don't have wings. They just crawl faster, so they shouldn't be that difficult to catch."
After saying that, he handed the net to Tian Xing'er, and then went to get the cloth strips: "When catching spiders, tie your cuffs and trousers tightly so that the little bugs can't crawl in." Su Qingluan pointed. Pointing to Tian Xing'er's wide cuffs, "Your sleeves are too wide. Not only is it difficult to move, but it's also easy to get bitten."
"Here, I've given it all to you, go ahead." Su Qingluan waved her hand to chase them away, then turned around to go back to the house.
"That..." Tian Xing'er called her from behind, and Su Qingluan turned around.
Tian Xing'er's eyes drifted for a moment and looked at her little friend.
Su Qingluan only felt that they were flirting with each other for a long time, and they were always glancing at her from the corner of their eyes, probably wanting to say something to her.
However, she didn't want to play charades with these unfamiliar little girls - after all, the last contact experience was not a pleasant one. This time she helped the little girl named Tian Xing'er, which was her utmost kindness. .
Thinking of this, she finally said: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. If you don't have anything to do, just do it yourself."
"Actually..." Tian Xing'er took a step forward as if she had made up her mind, "I was wondering if you would like to come over and join us tonight?"
Tian Xing'er started this, and the remaining girls, who were looking at Su Qingluan eagerly, immediately responded -
"Yes, yes! It's more lively when there are more people!"
"Since we haven't celebrated the Qiqiao Festival before, wouldn't it be good to start from this time?"
"It doesn't matter. Since you have helped Sister Tian Xing'er so much, we will all teach you!"
Su Qingluan looked at the girls who became enthusiastic in an instant and asked curiously: "So, what are you inviting me to do?"
