"Husband, why are you walking so fast?" Wuyou noticed that Ming Jiuye was walking too fast and asked.
Her doubts made Ming Jiuye pause, and then he quickly walked forward: "Baby, the show seems to be about to start. If you walk faster, you won't miss it."
"Husband, please put me down quickly. I want to run away by myself." She said as she broke away from Ming Jiuye's arms and slipped out.
"Husband, hurry up! It's too late!" As soon as Wuyou stood firm, he grabbed Ming Jiuye's hand and ran towards the end of the ghost market.
However, there were too many sparkling things along the way, and she couldn't help but stop and watch again and again.
"Husband, look at how beautiful this little hammer is!"
She picked up a small hammer polished with amethyst stone between her two fingers. It was only the size of a finger. Ming Jiuye really couldn't figure out what use this thing could have.
"Ghost slave pays the bill!"
Ming Jiuye picked her up and left. If she was allowed to wander like this again, the old man would die soon.
"Baby, close your eyes." Wuyou was wondering when her husband started to like to join in the fun, but she still closed her eyes obediently.
One breath...
"It's okay baby."
Seeing the sparkling river water, Wuyou looked sideways at Ming Jiuye, "Husband, do you like watching the show?"
"I heard from King Qin Guang that tonight's show is very exciting. I'm afraid you'll miss it!" When he said this, Ming Jiuye looked around but didn't dare to look at Wuyou, because he knew that Wuyou didn't like the lively atmosphere at all.
"Husband, have you seen that old man?" Wuyou thought Ming Jiuye was helping her find friends, and he looked around to search for the vague black figure among the countless heads.
After a while, Wuyou's little hand tugged at the corner of Ming Jiuye's clothes. She lifted the mask from underneath and said with a serious expression: "Husband, I realized a very serious problem."
"Huh? What's the problem?"
"That means we don't know that old man at all! We don't even know whether the person under the black robe is a human or a ghost? Is it a demon or a demon? It's over! I'm happy tonight for nothing!" She pouted her lips and said in despair. .
Fortunately, she had been thinking about it all day long, thinking that if she could catch up on her sleep and get drunk at night, she ended up...
Seeing that she was unhappy, Ming Jiuye raised his hand to hold her face and said warmly: "Baby, let me tell you a secret, that is, your husband can see the true appearance under the black robe, without exception."
Hearing this, Wuyou's eyes flashed, and he cheered up again. He buttoned up his mask and said, "That's right! My husband is the king here now. Of course I can see it. That's great. Then help me look for it." Have you seen him coming?"
Ming Jiuye glanced around again and said, "Probably not yet, don't worry, honey, it's still early."
Just as Wuyou was about to speak, a flute sounded faintly, and the gurgling water flowed from the distant Styx River.
"It's started, it's started..."
There was a voice shouting next to him, and Wuyou realized that it was the performance that had started.
As the sound of the flute approached, a huge withered leaf came over the river, covered with withered yellow leaves, and an emerald green jade flute lay horizontally in the air.
The beautiful and natural melody was originally played by the breeze on the river, making clever use of the slow and sometimes rapid wind speed and the gentle and sometimes heavy wind force.
When people were still immersed in the sweet sound of the flute, bang! Bang bang! Drums also sounded from the dead leaf boats.
I saw a transparent black gauze falling from the sky, just falling on the broad dead leaves. As the cheerful music of the flute suddenly rose, several graceful figures suddenly flashed under the ink gauze.
Six fairies in white clothes and skirts stood on the dead leaves through the black gauze and danced gracefully. Their charming faces made the spectators from all walks of life cheer loudly.
The bright red fingertips drew an infatuating arc, the eyes took people's breath as they moved, and the graceful and skillful movements were graceful and graceful.
The breeze blew up, and the clothes were flying. Suddenly, white ribbons were flung away from the wrists. When the wrists were lowered, thousands of snowflakes seemed to be floating down in the sky, which was really dazzling.
"Husband, they are so beautiful! Look..."
When he raised his head to speak, Wuyou realized that Ming Jiuye had been looking down at her, without even looking at the river.
"Husband, what are you looking at? Is the color on my mask faded?" There were almost everyone around her, so she could only ask in a low voice.
Ming Jiuye was amused by her cautious look, and then frowned: "Baby, it's not that your mask has faded, it's that my husband's neck hurts so much."
"Ah? What's going on? Come on, let me rub it for you." He stood on tiptoes and stretched out his little hands to explore the back of Ming Jiuye's neck.
Seeing how hard she was searching, Ming Jiuye immediately hugged her into his arms again, "My neck is stiff because I keep looking down at you." But he spoke unconventional and earthy love words.
Hearing this, the little face under the mask immediately became happy: "Blame me, blame me, I should research a height-increasing elixir... That's right! Husband, why is there no height-increasing elixir?" Not to mention this, I never had it when I was in Cangwu. Heard it.
"Silly girl, have you forgotten the word "destroying growth?" Besides, you're not too tall. You're just the right height. You're not allowed to eat those messy things, let alone study them. Do you hear me? It is vivid and vivid.
"As you command! My lord!" She still deliberately rubbed the back of his neck a few times.
At this time, the performance on the dead leaves had come to an end. Under the expectant eyes of everyone, another white paper boat sailed on the Styx River.
"The paper-made boat! It belongs to our Fengdu. Husband, look!" Ming Jiuye followed Wuyou's hand and pointed towards the white mist under the moon.
When he really saw the paper boat, his face was extremely gloomy and smelly.
Ming Jiuye felt deeply disgusted with the mastermind behind the show and marked him down in his heart.
As the light fell, I could see that the half-sized paper boat slowly widened and grew in the water, until it occupied the sight of all the viewers, and then it floated steadily on the river.
One by one, the paper-tied people "jumped up" from the paper boats, shocking the onlookers to take a breath, because the paper-tied people's faces were all rouged and made-up, and even had their eyes decorated.
Generally, people's eyes will be lit with paper only during sacrifices, because this is also closely related to ghost magic, especially in a place like Fengdu where yin and yang coexist.
In addition to paying homage to people, paper-tying people usually also involves catching ghosts. Could it be that... Fengdu's performance tonight will "match up with her show!" Wuyou thought in his mind.
After a while, the army of paper boats entered the water. They all jumped off the paper boats and stood on the water. They were so uniform and powerful that it made people's scalp numb to see them.
Moved!
Lifting his legs and setting his feet, his stiff mechanical steps made everyone laugh.
However, Wuyou always had a creepy feeling, because she could feel those paper-pierced eyes staring at her all the time.
