Stray Chapter 23: I know a little bit

On the Midsummer Dragon Boat Festival, Canglong Qisu flew to Zhongtian in the south. The festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It is a traditional folk festival.

Even Taiping Village is much more lively than before, holding grand sacrificial activities, as if it was a Chinese New Year, filled with a festive atmosphere, worshiping gods and ancestors is only basic, drinking realgar wine to avoid poisonous insects is also one of the important content.

Every household in the village hangs wormwood and calamus on the door, with poisonous gas, which can repel diseases, prevent mosquitoes, and ward off evil spirits. The special irritating aroma permeates every corner of the air.

The children are even more crazy, running around in groups, and many children are still putting paper kites. Their handicraft skills are first-class, and they simply paste paper or silk on bamboo strips and other skeletons. , pulled the long line tied to it, and took advantage of the wind to put it directly into the sky.

There is also dragon boating——

However, Taiping Village is only close to a small river, so it has not been able to develop such a custom. Chaohu Lake is a day's journey away from here. If it is not the county seat, then it is difficult for the villagers to go to Chaohu Lake in advance for the dragon boat race. Be prepared, that's so unrealistic.

Although there is no hope for dragon boat rowing, the village also has its own customs, such as dancing Zhongkui and beheading little ghosts every year, and the traditional custom of eating rice dumplings on the Dragon Boat Festival since ancient times is also very good in Taiping Village. retained.

"This thing...is it really edible?"

Before a rice dumpling stall in the village, Artoria's emerald green eyes contained a hint of anticipation, but more suspicion.

This kind of food is something she has never seen before. Although she has spent more than ten years in this world, she basically spends it in a summer resort in the Jimo Mountains, and she doesn't go down the mountain much.

Until the completion of the initial guarantee target, Xia Ran received news from the previous two twins and knew that Han Lingsha had passed through Shouyang City and went to Taiping Village. WTO accession.

"Of course it's edible. It's fragrant and delicious. If you pass this one, you won't have this restaurant. Miss, would you like to try it..."

The hawker behind the stall suddenly hilarious, seems to feel a little aggrieved by the girl's questioning, and sells it very swiftly.

"I didn't say that, our Li family's signboard is very famous in Taiping Village. Look at how big this head is, it is strong and full, the glutinous rice inside is fragrant, and the meat filling is big and delicious..."

I have to say that his salesmanship is quite decent. Most people smell the aroma of rice dumplings and listen to his vivid explanations, and they will probably feel a boost in appetite, let alone a foodie.

"This..."

Saber was really hesitant to move, and subconsciously looked at the head maid who was in charge of the money on the other side, and found that the other party was flat and unmoved, so he could only look at his master, revealing a hint of prayer.

Although the girl is not short of patience, the more than ten years of living in the mountains will not make her feel tormented, but give her another completely different life experience-she has never experienced such a peaceful life, what? You don't have to think about it, just do what you want to do.

She was born for the destiny of becoming the Lord of Camelot. For that day to come, she exercised all the time and never let up for a moment. When she was fifteen years old, after drawing the sword in the stone and becoming the king, she became even more There is no time to rest.

Governing the kingdom, defending against foreign enemies, fighting against nobles, and a series of accidents such as her own princess, sister, and even her own daughter, all make her exhausted. When it comes to the back, even the most trustworthy Knights of the Round Table Also detached and disintegrated...

Until death, King Arthur could not catch a breath, not even death could bring her true rest.

On the contrary, now, she has enjoyed a peaceful and carefree life in this world for more than ten years. Although she has not relaxed her sword skills and magic, it is already very relaxed and carefree. experience.

Therefore, even the king of knights, who has been famous for a long time and has strict requirements for himself, inevitably restores the nature of the girl who has been suppressed by the self-cultivation of the king... At least in the past, she He would never ask Xia Ran with such eyes.

"Then buy some to eat on the road, it's cheap anyway..." Xia Ran said with a slight smile.

Anyway, this King Arthur has so little fun in life, and he is not a black-hearted capitalist, so black-hearted that such things are not negotiable.

"You really have a good eye for this little Taoist priest. The signboard of my Li family has always been famous. Zongzi is a penny, and the old man is not deceived..."

The hawker grinned, and swiftly packed several guests, while saying so with a smile.

"And our village has a show every year. It's on the stage over the ancestral hall. If you want, you can go and watch it. It's really good to watch the show while eating zongzi..."

Under the influence of some kind of spiritual power, he did not realize how strange the combination of the three people in front of him was and how out of place the painting style was.

The head of the young Taoist priest can be said to be juvenile, and he seems to be seventeen or eighteen years old. He wears a blue and white Tianshi Taoist robe, and his long black hair reaches his waist.

However, the head maid is still wearing a maid outfit with ruffles, bow ribbons and a headscarf. Although Artoria does not wear maid outfits, the combination of a white slim top and a blue long skirt is also very pure and lovely. , are completely different styles of clothing in this world.

And the two are obviously foreign girls, one with silver hair and red eyes, the other with blond eyes and blue eyes. This is the biggest feature and difference. In theory, no matter where they go, they are easy to attract attention. That's right.

It's just that Xia Ran doesn't have the heart to go fishing and law enforcement now, and there's no need for that, so she still uses some special methods.

Of course it's not very advanced, it just affects the cognition of pure ordinary people, so that they can see the appearance of their own group and hear the voice of their own group, but they will subconsciously ignore the relatively unreasonable part.

However, slightly special people, such as those with strong spiritual sense or special abilities, can be unaffected.

This also means that such people are still the first to notice the strange combination and be drawn to it.

For example...Han Lingsha.

This young girl is dressed in a red and yellow-trimmed dress, short skirt and short hair, and she is valiant. It seems that she is dressed like this for the convenience of movement. Look here.

She climbed Qingluan Peak early in the morning to see the legendary Sword Immortal, but she did not expect the Sword Immortal to be found, but instead met a savage. The two went down the mountain together.

The main reason is that although she didn't find the Sword Immortal, she also found clues about the Sword Immortal, but those things belonged to the things left by the savage's parents, and the savage was very strong, and he knew the truth, it was difficult to fool.

So in desperation, Han Nvxia could only find an excuse to let the other party go down the mountain with her to join the WTO, and try to understand her parents' past. In this way, the goals of both parties are the same.

But I don't know if Yun Tianhe is really afraid - because he collapsed his parents' tombs, he is afraid that after dark, his dead father will come to the door angrily. came to break his leg, so after making up his mind to go down the mountain, he ran very fast all the way.

Almost at noon, the two of them came to the foot of the mountain and entered the village...

Han Lingsha was amused by this, and she also planned to spend the night in the village. Although it was only noon, she did not intend to rush on her way, because she felt rather sleepy rarely.

However, this girl didn't doubt anything, she just thought that she had been running around all day yesterday, and she didn't stop to rest when she passed Shouyang City, but she climbed up the mountain early this morning, and ended up with frequent accidents. Hair, and almost died on the mountain.

Then she ran all the way down the mountain like a reincarnation. She couldn't stand it. Although she was not bad at all, she was a mortal body after all, so she would naturally feel tired.

Tell Yun Tianhe not to run around. She was going to come over to find the village chief and talk about the two of them who wanted to spend the night in Taiping Village. As a result, she came over and saw such a few particularly conspicuous people. Subconsciously pay more attention.

This is caused by the professional sensitivity of the female hero Han. As a mausoleum robber who travels thousands of miles alone, she is not only always wanted by the local government, but also often overlooked by some chivalrous men who also travel the rivers and lakes. Be careful and you're going to have to go to jail.

"This girl, may I ask you, but what's the matter? I see you've been looking at us all the time..."

Xia Ran stretched out her hand to take the maid and peeled off the zongzi with her verdant jade fingers, took a bite of the steaming zongzi she handed over, and turned to look at the girl in red not far away. Said straight.

Han Lingsha, who was discovered, was stunned for a moment, but there was no panic or embarrassment. After all, she was not so thin-skinned, otherwise, it would be difficult to get involved in the world at such an age.

"Huh? Ah, this... This girl obviously just glanced at it a few times, how can she keep her eyes fixed on it? But you have found it all, the little Taoist is quite clever..."

So she immediately said with a smile, she didn't seem to be affected at all, and her tone was very familiar and calm.

"But don't worry, I just don't think you, little Taoist priests, are like people around here, so I paid more attention... After all, this girl has many enemies in the arena, in case you come to me If so, wouldn't it be very bad."

It's like a little Taoist priest, but it doesn't mean anything disrespectful, so it doesn't make people feel very angry. She has such a character in the first place. She is generous, straightforward and informal, even the future Murong Zi Ying has never been regarded as a teacher.

However, this kind of personality is really likable, and if some people are also very straightforward, maybe they will easily get closer to each other.

But this also shows that Han Lingsha doesn't think there is anything special about the little Taoist priest in front of her. She doesn't even think that the other party is really a Taoist priest. people.

After all, she seems to be even younger when she is only seventeen years old, and the other party is also the same age as her, so Miss Han will never discriminate because of her age, and she will never feel that she has no hair on her lips and is insecure in her work. Only a gray-haired grandfather can be a Taoist master.

The reason why she thinks that this little Taoist is not a true Taoist is because the two beautiful girls beside the other party are very attractive, but they are very beautiful. How could a real Taoist master look like this?

So probably some wealthy kids are panicking, thinking that being a Taoist priest is very interesting, but they can't give up the beauty of their family... And if you look closely, you will find that these three people obviously haven't done any work, want to come Rich or expensive.

——Thinking about it this way, she is more and more sure of her guess.

"That's right, but you can rest assured, girl, I'm not here to seek revenge against you..." Xia Ran chuckled softly, ate the zongzi in her hand in three or two bites, and said leisurely, "And I thought that Girl, you are suddenly interested in the trail, because you want to come to the door to ask fortune-telling and fortune-telling for the future."

"Huh? Are you a little Taoist still capable of fortune telling?" Han Lingsha seemed surprised and looked at him subconsciously, "I didn't see you walking around holding a sign. How would anyone know?"

"Yes, why not?" The young Taoist took the streamer next to him and held it up. It seemed that he had just put it on the side when he was eating the zongzi, so Han Lingsha didn't see it.

Shaking her hands gently, the flags unfolded, with four large characters written on them—

Anything you want should not be

"Pfft..." Han Lingsha burst out laughing, "If you ask for anything, then how do you do business..."

"Naturally it depends on the fate..." Xia Ran said with a smile.

"Then do you think this girl has a destiny?" The girl in red immediately became interested, and asked in a high-spirited manner, "Can you count it for me?"

"Naturally..." The little Taoist glanced at her, "What do you want?"

"Isn't this...isn't it all like that? Fortune-telling is good or bad, depending on the good and bad luck in the future, the marriage is not necessary, this girl is not interested..." Han Lingsha replied casually, she didn't seem to take it too seriously. thing.

"Numerology... girl, you are a person with a bright and bright yin and an yang in your birthday. You are born in the yin and yin. said,

"Huh? What do you mean? Make it clearer!" Han Lingsha was suddenly dissatisfied, and the fortune teller didn't even know what to say?

"To put it more clearly... girl, you are short-lived."

“…”

“…”

Deathly silence.

After a while, the girl in red was not surprised but delighted, her eyes lit up: "Do you really have real material, little Taoist priest? Is this fortune telling true?"

"I only know a little about Taoism..." Xia Ran said modestly.
