"Liaojiang!" is known as the mother river of Yangcheng.
This river has nurtured countless people living in Yangcheng.
Every year during the New Year, a grand event called "River Sacrifice" is held on the banks of the Liaojiang River.
The riverside is the most lively place to celebrate the New Year in Yangcheng, which is somewhat similar to the temple fair in the south.
After Zhao Xu, Lu Yuqi and Gege arrived at the riverside, a "lion dance" performance was being held here.
The weather has turned warm and cold, but it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of Yangcheng people.
Just listen to the loud beating of drums and the rhythmic sound of cymbals. Two human lions jumped back and forth on high and low piles to the rhythm of drums, performing various fancy and difficult performances. The crowd onlookers applauded.
These people who perform lion dancing and juggling have received special training since childhood.
As the saying goes, one minute on stage takes ten years off stage. The performance is indeed wonderful and is the quintessence of the country's non-idiosyncratic cultural heritage.
Zhao Xu was also attracted by the lion dance acrobatics on the stage. The three of them stared at the lion dance performance.
Lu Yuqi looked particularly excited.
When celebrating the New Year in the provincial capital, she and Master Lu were the only two people at home. Not even a single relative came to visit, and the atmosphere during the Chinese New Year every year was not much different from usual times, lifeless.
Going out with Zhao Xu this time was really an eye-opener for her. Not only did I taste various delicacies, but I also gained more knowledge.
A perfect explanation: What is meant is that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books!
After the three of them finished watching the lion dance performance, Lu Yuqi was still immersed in excitement and talked with Gege about the lion dance just now.
V will always be free to watch, %小☆says XO0'W
Encountering a stall selling "candy people" on the way, Lu Yuqi bought two "candy people" and gave one to Gege. The two of them were eating "Candy Man" and wandering in front of various stalls along the river.
"Sugar Man" has a history of more than 600 years, and is rumored to have originated during the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang built the "Gongchen Pavilion" and many heroes were killed. Liu Bowen managed to escape with some ingenuity and was later rescued by an old man carrying sugar water on his shoulders. After the two changed their clothes, Liu Bowen walked around the streets wearing his old man's clothes. Later, it was improved by Liu Bowen and made into various figures or animals, and the art of sugar figures was passed on to many people. Since then, it has become popular across the country.
Zhao Xu knew that Lu Yuqi was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him. However, he was not angry either, how could he be as knowledgeable as a yellow-haired girl like Lu Yuqi.
At this time, there was the sound of quarreling in front of a stall.
I heard a woman crying and saying: "Are you giving me a few days of grace? If I make money, I will give it back to you."
"Old lady, our young master has given you more than a week's grace. You also said that if you don't pay the money, you will let your daughter work as a maid in the Bai family to pay off the debt. What, do you want to default on the debt?"
Plop!
The woman knelt down to the two men and begged with tears in her eyes: "Please give me a few more days of grace. As long as I raise enough money, I will return the money to you as soon as possible."
"Repaying debts is a matter of course! You and our young master have already signed a deed. Are you going to deny it?" the man said coldly.
Seeing that there were many people watching, the bodyguard glared at the people around him and shouted sternly: "What are you looking at? The Bai family is doing something, you'd better get the hell away from me!"
Upon hearing the words "Bai Family!", everyone onlookers immediately retreated for fear of getting into trouble.
Lu Yuqi saw that the stall owner was a woman in her forties, accompanied by a little girl about the same size as her.
The little girl is pretty and pretty. I didn't expect that in real life, there are such "bully" people. What's the difference between this and robbing civilian girls?
However, Lu Yuqi did not dare to make a mistake. She whispered to Gege beside her: "Gege, who are the Bai family? Why do they look so powerful!"
Gege snorted softly and said: "Hmph! This Bai family is one of the top ten richest people in Yangcheng. They say that the young master is called Bai Bowen and he is my mortal enemy. That boy talks like a sissy. He's so effeminate. Last time, I had a fight with him. I didn't expect that this kid would do such a dirty thing secretly. By the way, Zhao Xu has seen him."
Zhao Xu heard the conversation between Gege and Lu Yuqi clearly. I couldn't help but think of the time when I came to "Yangcheng" in Province L for the first time and met Gege by chance at "Siyang Tower". He clearly remembered that the boy who had a big fight with Ge Ge was named Bai Bowen.
No wonder, people around are afraid of "Bai family!" But then again, the Bai family does have such proud capital.
Gege was about to go up and stop the despicable behavior of the two bodyguards of the Bai family. Zhao Xu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Gege, shaking his head at her.
"Zhao Xu, I thought you were a very just person. I didn't expect you to be so timid and afraid of getting into trouble! If you don't care about me, I will take care of this matter!" Gege was very disappointed with Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu was worried that Gege would do something bad, and warned her: "What's the use of expelling the two bodyguards from the Bai family now? That will only scare the enemy. As long as you are not here, the Bai family will definitely intensify their revenge on the mother and daughter." "
"What do you mean?..." Gege asked, frowning.
"Follow the clue and just hit the dog. How can the owner feel pain? If the owner is taken care of, the dog will naturally learn to behave." Zhao Xu said.
Gege smiled, revealing a row of neat and white teeth. He took a pink fist and gave Zhao Xu a light hammer, and said with a smile: "I thought you were a coward who is afraid of getting into trouble. Then it's up to you, let's follow the lead and settle the score with that pretty boy Bai Bowen. You don't know, After Siyang Tower, in several public occasions, this kid always made trouble for me. I have long wanted to seize the opportunity to deal with him! Zhao Xu, you will deal with him for me later. "
Before Zhao Xu could speak, Lu Yuqi said angrily: "Don't worry, Gege, I will teach him a lesson for you then! If you dare to bully my Gege, see how I deal with him."
"Xiao Qi, you are so kind! But are you good at kung fu?" Gege asked worriedly.
Lu Yuqi smiled and said: "It's so-so, but it should be no problem to deal with this pretty boy!".
Playboys from rich families like this are so addicted to beauty that their bodies have long been hollowed out. What he relies on is just a group of doglegs around him.
The two bodyguards of the Bai family argued with the female stall owner for a while, and finally took the stall owner's daughter away by force.
"Let me go! Let me go! Mom, save me..."
The woman cried and chased after her, but was pushed to the ground by one of the bodyguards. The bodyguard spat at the woman, cursed and left.
Zhao Xu stepped forward and helped the woman up from the ground. He asked the woman, "Sister, what happened?"
The woman saw that Zhao Xu had a kind face and kind eyes, and he was full of righteousness. Crying, she knelt down and begged Zhao Xu: "Sir, please save my daughter! Otherwise, she will be ruined by the young master of the Bai family!"
