stand back, let me come

Chapter 318: Opening Ceremony (Part 318)

"Ah Zi, are you ready?"

"We have to hurry up, or it will be too late."

"Zi, Zi—"

Lin Feng changed his plain and plain attire from the past. He wore a small amber and light yellow blouse, a long emerald green butterfly skirt, and a soft gauze decorated with many small ornaments around his waist. He wore a small and exquisite double-ring snake bun, A long string of pearls is bundled.

Holding an elegant small round fan in his hand.

From time to time, I looked into the room and urged a few words.

Inside the room, Yu Zi poked her head out shyly.

He hesitated and said, "Is this okay?"

Lin Feng grabbed Yu Zi's hand, dragged her away, and said, "Why can't it work? This is pretty good."

She's growing too fast.

In line with the good habit of frugality, I dismantled all the old clothes from before, repaired them and changed them again - the materials of those clothes are all good materials, they are the luggage brought by Lin Feng from his hometown, some of which are not easy to change, all are put at the bottom of the box up.

But Yu Zi was born thin and small, so she was well dressed.

Today, for the Fugu Grand Ceremony, the two chose the best ones, which would neither conflict with happiness nor violate filial taboos.Lin Feng's teacher, Chu Yao reserved a place for them.It's just that the two of them were so busy that they forgot the time and went out in a hurry.

"I don't know if I can catch up with—"

Lin Feng didn't care about his manners, he lifted his skirt and trotted.

Outside the door, the two accompanying guards had already prepared a carriage drawn by two relatively small nudes.

Yu Zi sat still, thin sweat broke out at some point on her forehead.

Blame myself: "It's my fault, I forgot the time so carelessly..."

Lin Feng said: "Didn't I also forget?"

The two of them were to be blamed, not anyone alone.

She opened the curtain of the car, and there were few people on both sides of the road, but they all went in one direction - the main venue where the "First Fugu City New Year Games" was held, which was the southwest corner of Fugu.After nightfall, the opening ceremony will take place there.

Lin Feng originally didn't want to come out for activities.

After all, we are still in the period of filial piety, so entertainment must be restrained.

It's just that the teacher told her in a slightly mysterious way that today can be an exception, go out and have fun, and if you miss tonight, you may regret it for the rest of your life.Lin Feng hesitated for a long time, and followed Yu Zi out.She was going to go back after watching the opening ceremony organized by Lang Jun.

Yu Zi hugged the two mats, muttering worriedly.

"It won't start now, will it?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "The hour should not be here yet."

The so-called main venue is actually a large open space next to the small market. The common people were notified in advance to bring mats, futons, mats and other objects so that they could sit on the ground and rest while watching tonight's grand performance. .

The common people did not understand this notice very well.

What are you sitting on the ground watching?
However, since Shen Jun informed, there must be some profound intentions, so they still took it with suspicion.There are even many ordinary people who blindly and over-trust Shen Tang's orders, and not only bring tools that can sit anywhere, but also snacks.

"Call-"

The guard driving the carriage stopped the carriage.

Said: "You two ladies, the place is here."

There are poor people everywhere in Fugu City, and they rely on two legs to travel. Those who have mules and donkeys at home are very few.The carriage is a travel ostentation that only a few local snakes had before.Therefore, the place where the carriage is temporarily parked is very empty.

Yu Zi jumped off the carriage first.

He raised his hand to Lin Feng who bent over.

Looking at the pitch-black sky, Lin Feng guessed that it hadn't started yet, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to the "main venue" at a leisurely pace.About half of the people in Fugu City came here, Yu Zi looked at the crowd and was a little nervous.

"Why are there so many people?"

She hugged the two ponies tighter.

Lin Feng was steady: "This is a grand ceremony prepared by Mr. Fu for the Fugu common people, of course they have to come out to see it."

Some of the common people took up a place with the neighbors they knew, sat on mats, mats, or small stones brought from somewhere, and sat around and chatted.There are also some ordinary people who feel bored and go to the small market not far away.

Lanterns are hung on both sides of the small market.

It's much brighter than here.

Lin Feng and Yu Zi followed the two guards to the seat specially reserved for Chu Yao, only to find out when they got there that there were already many family members of the government officials sitting here.Lin Feng sat down and looked around but did not see any familiar faces.

Puzzled: "Teacher, what about them?"

Yu Zi also said: "I haven't seen Mr. Kang either."

Logically speaking, shouldn't Mr. Lang and the gentlemen be here too?They are not here, who should host the opening ceremony?
Lin Feng listened blankly to the chattering voices around him, and was worried in his heart whether there was a problem in the process, and Mr. Lang and the gentlemen went to deal with it?If she guessed it right, would it be a big problem?She frowned delicately.

The two sat together for a quarter of an hour.

Nothing has changed around.

At this time, some common people and the family members of the officials around them couldn't sit still, and the content of the discussion changed from "What kind of surprise did Shen Jun prepare?" to "Is the surprise going to be frightening?"

Lin Feng became more and more anxious.

"Junior Sister, you are here! Let me find it easier."

A familiar voice came from above.

The skinny urchin opened the Maza and sat down.

Sitting down, Tu Rong asked, "Brother, you're not late, are you?"

Lin Feng said: "Not yet."

Seeing that there were still residual sweat stains on Tu Rong's face, and the sour smell of sweat was all over her body, which made her very smoked.Lin Feng said angrily, "Brother, why don't you wash up and come back again? Or if you stop practicing for a day, the teacher won't blame you..."

Tu Rong smirked: "Stop? That won't work! As a martial artist, perseverance is paramount! You can't easily indulge yourself..."

He still wants to grow up and take revenge!

Penance never calls tired.

I just hate that there are only twelve hours in a day, it's too short.

While speaking, he suddenly said: "Huh?"

Lin Feng: "What's wrong?"

Tu Rong replied, "It's probably about to start."

"How do you know?" Yu Zi was quite curious.

"Because the surroundings are starting to get hot." He is not yet a warrior, but his ability to capture the surrounding environment has surpassed that of ordinary people.He still came here covered in hot sweat, and it stands to reason that the sweat should cool down quickly, making him shiver with cold.

"Getting hot?"

Yu Zi stretched out her warm hand—I don't know if it was an illusion, but the air seemed not so cold anymore.

The common people have not yet noticed this change.

The discussion continued to grow louder and louder.

About half a cup of tea passed, the air was filled with warmth, and the common people realized something was wrong.

"Look! What is that?"

The common people were wondering, and suddenly there was a shout from the crowd.

Someone looked up and looked around.

People who were relatively close to the city wall could see a barrier rising in the night, and many common people showed doubts in their eyes.Only some old people are well-informed, and when frightened, they blurted out a sentence: "We must, we must fight!"

What? ? ?
Only then did someone remember what this barrier was.

This is the city wall barrier!
Seals and ribbons of non-prefects cannot be opened!
This is a defense that can only be activated for a short period of time during war!

Once it appears, there must be a strong enemy attacking the city wall.

The realization rushed into the minds of the group.

But before they hid their heads in their arms, a new incident happened immediately - the ground under everyone's feet trembled slightly, and wisps of literary spirit surged up to the sky from under their feet.

Bang!
A loud bang!
A cluster of gorgeous fireworks exploded overhead.

The brilliance flashes, fleeting.

The private unit sent by the government to maintain law and order has already acted, and according to the order, everyone should not panic, just sit down and watch the fireworks.In fact, there would be no major riots if they didn't act.

Because the moment the first red firework burst into colorful brilliance above their heads, their attention was completely taken away.Before he could recover, the second, third... The dark sky was illuminated by fireworks that bloomed one after another.

Every flower is extremely gorgeous.

The common people have never seen such a scene.

As the fireworks bloom, different colors bloom in circles.It started out as circles, but soon other patterns were added.

"Junior Sister, look at that word! Is that a word?" Tu Rong's eyes widened in shock, and he shook Lin Feng's arm excitedly.

Only then did Lin Feng come back to his senses: "It's a word."

The word "joy" is still very clear.

After finishing speaking, another strange round face exploded above his head.

Emmm...

Is that the face?

A pair of eyes, a smiling mouth.

It is very strange that there is no nose, ears and hair.

However, it doesn't look scary, but rather naive, people can't help but smile when they see it.

"Junior sister, junior sister, what is that?"

Tu Rong watched the fireworks of love constantly exploding.

Muttering: "It looks like a lot of butts..."

Lin Feng stepped on him not lightly but not hard.

"Damn! This is definitely not some kind of ass!"

"It's okay for Lang Jun to blow his ass to the sky?"

This pattern must have a very beautiful meaning!
Tu Rong: "..."

Why does this sound so strange?
The sky almost turned into a sea of ​​fireworks, one wave dissipated, and another wave lit up again, making it dizzying to see.

Except for the somewhat confusing fireworks pattern at the beginning, the pattern after that was much more normal, and the crowd heard exclamations of surprise from time to time.Immediately afterwards, the naive twelve zodiac signs such as "rat, ox, tiger, and rabbit" appeared one after another.

The crowd was already overwhelmed.

Finally, the sky returned to darkness.

Yu Zi regretted, "Is it over?"

The answer is of course not yet.

There was a louder exclamation from the crowd.

In the middle of the sky, a waterfall composed of golden fireworks poured down. At first glance, I thought it was the Milky Way diverted to the world.The common people subconsciously hugged their heads, but found that the waterfall did not fall to the ground, and disappeared in mid-air.

"what is that?"

One of the crowd pointed to the golden waterfall.

A black spot appeared in the center of the waterfall, which continued to expand, and suddenly burst out a colorful stream of light.Spread out a pair of wings, and under the eyes of everyone, it turned into the legendary phoenix. With something in its mouth, the huge phoenix circled nine times around the southwest corner before rushing back to the golden waterfall, which turned back to the Milky Way.

"God, miracle!"

I don't know who said that.

One after another, some common people knelt down devoutly.

It wasn't until the private department that maintained order repeatedly emphasized that this was just a spiritual effect, not the miracle they thought, that it returned to normal.The subsequent fireworks are all clusters of flowers, and there is no such shocking effect just now.

Even some patterns are a little funny.

A string of fireworks footprints came from the direction of the city wall, accompanied by a heart pattern that Tu Rong dubbed "butt".

It lasted for a full cup of tea before it ended.

The common people are still unsatisfied.

When they lowered their swollen heads, they realized that the surprise was not over yet, and the surrounding area was divided by rows of fish and dragon lantern corridors at some point, shining a little bit.When someone is curious and tries to take off one, but finds that it is empty-is it fake?

"Is this also a firework?" Yu Zi was a little disappointed as she watched her hand pass through the tassels hanging from the lantern.

Lin Feng: "It should be the effect of the literary mind."

"Such as the magic words?" Tu Rong knew that this kind of words would make the enemies trapped in it hallucinate, and then disrupt the formation on the battlefield.What they saw today should be similar, but the former is lethal, while the latter is purely for viewing.

Lin Feng thought for a while, and said, "Such a large area, such a long time... this burden..."

No wonder I haven't seen Lang Jun and the others until now.

In the entire Fugu City, except for them, no one could put on such a big battle of words and spirits, and most of their literary spirit was drained.The defense barrier of the city wall was raised in advance, probably because he was worried that "fish that slipped through the net" would be mixed in during the opening ceremony and take the opportunity to make trouble...For a while, Lin Feng was in a complicated and inexplicable mood.

She stood there and looked around.

The faces of the common people were flushed red by the lanterns.

Almost everyone had a smile on their faces, grabbing the people around them to express their inner excitement and sharing the grand scene just now.

Yu Zi was worried about her: "What's wrong?"

Lin Feng: "Is it worth it?"

"What 'is it worth it'?"

The surroundings are too noisy, Yu Zi can't hear clearly.

Lin Feng murmured to himself: "Exhausted literary energy, a lot of trouble, such a high price... Your Majesty prepared a surprise, just to let the common people watch it for a while-is it really worth it?"

Yu Zi shook her head: "I don't know."

Lin Feng had a voice in his heart whispering.

【worth. 】

Chu Yao also wanted to ask this question.

Lin Feng's guess is correct, Shen Tang's literary energy has indeed been drained - if she didn't have so many weird "asses" on a whim, they probably still have some literary energy left - now they look like five quilts Sun-dried salted fish.

Everyone guarded a corner and watched the lantern festival.

Shen Tang is in a group with Chu Yao.

Stay on the unfinished roof and watch the thousands of lights under your feet.

"Is there anything worthwhile?" Shen Tang tilted his head with a smile, "When will Wuhui ask such a question?"

Chu Yao wanted an answer.

Shen Tang thought seriously: "It should be worth it."

She pointed to the crowd watching the lanterns below.

"Wu Hui, look at them all laughing."

Ordinary people, shrouded in the cloud of war and hunger, give people the most impression of a face that is more bitter than bitter melon, and genuine smiles from the heart are rare.Unless there is a happy event in the family, maybe this year's harvest will be more than before...

It's worth it to let them put down the burden of life and all the sorrows, and bend the corners of their mouths sincerely, even for a moment.

She took it for granted: "I don't understand the truth, but a qualified lord should make the people under his rule live well, eat well, and be happy every day. Smile, isn't it good?"

Chu Yao smiled and said, "Very good."

The protagonist in his eyes at this moment——

It is light, it is flame.

Apart from the lord, there is probably no other person in this world who has gone through all kinds of troubles just to make the common people laugh, right?It made him feel from the bottom of his heart that all the bitterness brewed in those years was worth it.
