Chapter 1604 Shopping
My companions found a local-style square-cornered hat at a roadside stall where shuttlecocks were spread out on the street. They held it in front of Bimoye and gestured: "This little hat It should look good on your head. Come and try it?”
“I don’t want to try it,” Bimoye flatly refused.
“Let’s try it.”
“No.”
His companions insisted on putting a flashy and funny little square hat on Bimoye's head to make fun of them. Bimoye saw their intention and refused to wear it, so he turned around and hid.
The partner said helplessly: "Don't be so boring. If you wear it, you won't get buns on your head."
Although I joined the group for a short time, I integrated very quickly and have become brothers. Thain, who was leading the 'big brother', threw down the things in his hands and came over from the stall next to him and said, "Okay. Now, don’t you understand his character? If you force him again, he’ll make you suffer. Let’s go there and take a look. The small town of Aifei Newland is quite interesting.”
< br>Bemoye was forced to be dragged to the street by them. He sighed and had no choice but to continue walking with them.
The streets here are not very wide. The small vendors on both sides of the road sit opposite each other, with only one meter apart. The items they sell are also very mixed, and there is no regular order or product zoning. The melon and fruit sellers, clay pottery utensils, pottery figurine dolls, and lynx skins are all together, one stall after another. There is also a local painting art called "mutation painting" for sale. The painter even invited guests to stop by and paint on the spot.
When you reach the intersection, you will find an open area. There are many people visiting the market. There are also various snacks around, including grilled bait snakes on skewers, hand-rolled cakes, carrot pickled melons, pop candies, etc. Bimoye is just hungry. I bought some pancakes and pickled melons to eat while shopping. I also bought a glass of ice-cold hulu for Undine to drink, and she also took a few bites by the way.
The street entrance is a place with many people, and the more people there are, the more lively it is. At this moment, there are four floats parked in the middle of the open space. The flowers on the floats are arranged in various shapes. The fragrance of flowers is overflowing. There are flowers around the floats. Men and women in national costumes were singing and dancing around the car. Surrounded by the crowd, more than 20 girls dressed in plants and flowers were gorgeously dressed and stepped onto the float on the tapestry. They danced and spun on the float, and bursts of cheers and applause broke out around them.
Sanchi looked curious and asked the person next to him: "What are you doing? It seems like a festival. Is today a festival?"
The old man wearing a red headscarf in question said: Sanchi said: "This is our costume festival here."
"Cosplay festival?"
The old man glanced at him and said with a smile: "I don't blame you for not knowing. Few people abroad know about our costume festival. This is a traditional folk celebration here. We worship plants and flowers here. Boys and girls in the town celebrate New Year's Eve." When you turn seventeen, you will hold a costume festival and wear clothes made of plants and flowers. Then a float is used to parade around the town and perform the flower dance. Only after the flower dance and the costume festival have passed can the boys and girls officially become adults."
Sang Qi and others nodded and said, "Oh. It turns out to be a coming-of-age ceremony.”
Seeing that they were all outsiders, the old man explained in more detail: "The Costume Festival is held twice every three months, for boys and girls respectively. Holding the Costume Festival not only represents their adulthood, but also represents that boys and girls are ready to get married. In the evening, a night banquet will be held in the town for adult singles. We will get to know each other at the cocktail party. I see there are a few young people among you. "Young man, you can go there tonight, it's a festival for young people." When the old man said this, his eyes fell on Bimoye and asked him: "Young man, where are you from? Do you have a girlfriend?"
Looking at the old man's appearance, he seems to have taken a liking to Bimoye and wants to introduce him to a partner.
Bi Moyer looked a little embarrassed and said: "I...just came to watch." After saying this, he took a few steps away and hid further, which made Thain and Sanchi happy. , laughing non-stop, even Wen Tini, who didn’t understand the world before, can now understand these and snickered on the sidelines.
Everyone turned their attention to the float again. They were basically in their prime of life, and the seventeen-year-old girls dancing in the sea of flowers were all the same age as the flowers. Girls with the same flowers looked at these beautiful girls. As they danced, everyone's feet seemed to have nails growing out of them, and they were reluctant to leave.
Sanchi held his chin in his hand and bumped his companion with his arm: "Hey, did you see, the one wearing blue petals is the most beautiful, tut~!"
The companion said: " Sanchi, what are you greedy for? You are already in your thirties, don’t think about it.”
Sanchi. Sighing bitterly: "Oh~! I wish I were younger. Although I am single now, I seem to be a bit older than these beautiful girls."
Bi Moye was a bit boring, but not He thought he would stop for a while, but at this moment, an electric feeling suddenly came from behind him, making his body tense. He immediately turned around and looked back. His companions saw something strange about him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bimoye looked at the people passing by on the street, shook his head for a while and said, "Nothing." His companion felt strange and looked around, but found nothing, and then turned back to watch the girl dancing.
Bimoye put his hand on his heart and felt his heart pounding. When someone passed behind him just now, it gave him a strange feeling at that moment, that feeling He couldn't describe it. It was like being penetrated by electricity. All the hairs on his body stood up and he was filled with tremors. He couldn't let it go for a long time.
He thought for a while, but was not willing to accept it. He was still looking for that person in the crowd, and his eyes accidentally fell on a shop with a small front opposite: "Is there a treasure house here?"
Curious, he walked over and took a look, and it turned out to be a treasure house.
The Treasure House does not specialize in selling treasures. Its main purpose is to collect and sell some information related to treasures to provide convenience to those in need.
Not many people come in and out of the Treasure House. Although it is located in a busy city, it can be said that almost no one goes in. Few people will visit this kind of place, especially ordinary civilians. However, there was a man standing at the door of the Treasure House. This man had his hands on his chest and a sword in one hand. He had his head lowered and was wearing a hat to protect the sun. His face could not be seen clearly, but it looked like he had been here for a long time. .
Bimoye had no intention of entering the hut. He glanced at the door and planned to leave, but at this time he was stopped by the man guarding the door of the treasure hut.
"Hey, friend, please wait a moment." The sword and scabbard in his hand were blocked in front of Bimoye.
"Huh?" Bimoye looked at him.
The man said: "I have been observing you here for a long time. You must be a mercenary."
Bimoye did not wear the mercenary group logo today, but it was still visible. So he asked: "What do you mean?"
"Don't get me wrong, I mean no harm." As the man spoke, he took off his hat and revealed his face: "I am a ranger and I want to talk to you. It’s a business.”
Bimoyer looked at this man’s face, his short hair, and his face. He is clean-shaven and somewhat handsome. He is in his thirties but not forty years old. He is tall and has a slender scabbard. He wears a silver-gray breastplate with shoulder pads and is lined with tough burlap. He is equipped with a robe and leather boots and leggings. There is also a piece of ring mail tied under the leather hemp skirt on the hip, but it is a little torn.
“You’ve found the wrong person.” Bimoye started to leave, but was still stopped.
"Don't go, you haven't heard what I said about the business."
At this moment, Thain and Sanchi were bored with the dancing, so they came to look for Bimoye and saw him far away. I was stopped by people everywhere and shouted: "Bimoye, what are you doing over there?" and ran over.
Bimoye bypassed the ranger's sword and said, "It's okay."
The companion said, "Let's go hang out in front." He looked at the ranger and took Bimoye away.
The ranger could only shake his head helplessly, stood on the street for a while, and then left.
Later, Bimoye continued to follow them on the street. When he saw new and cheap gadgets, he bought them to play with, or took them with him as souvenirs. In the evening, they met up with other companions. Everyone had heard about the banquet and drinking party that night. A few young people, under the age of twenty-five, were very interested and wanted to go and see it. It was so easy to catch up with the local coming-of-age ceremony, how could I miss it? So Bimoye was also pulled and went with them.
