Burning with rage

Chapter 104
Before you know it, it is the annual Qixi Festival, which is also the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet in folklore.

Every year on the Qixi Festival, the most lively thing is the temple fair.At night, countless lights will be lit on the long street of the temple fair, illuminating the whole street as if it were daytime.

Brother Hou also followed suit, leading the three brothers of the Chen family to look around and follow the crowd.As for Senior Sister Qingwei and Ruan Xinzhi, the two girls wanted to go to the temple fair alone, but Brother Hou was relieved - they were finally free.

The temple fair in Qinzhou City is well-known far and wide. Various small stalls emerge one after another along the way, including folk delicacies, antique study rooms, and folk children's toy stalls, which are full of masks, drama wooden figures, carts, knives and spears. , Bamboo Dragon, attracted many children.There are many kinds of toys, exquisitely made, and each piece can be called a handicraft.

There are also various small games that can be played at the roadside stalls, such as hoops, shooting guns, and lottery.Chen Hui and the others played some games at some roadside stalls, and they also brought some small toy prizes in their hands, as the harvest of this trip, and they were very happy.

After a while, the loud sound of gongs and drum music gradually approached, and someone shouted over and over again, "The floats are coming, get out of the way!" With a shout, "Look, the float is coming!"

Carts decorated with colored paper strips and cloth tapes lined up in a row, slowly moving forward at the end of the street.The statue of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl on the car is several times larger than the real person, lifelike, and looks extraordinarily glorious under the illumination of street lamps.Some children shouted, ran and jumped along with the slowly moving floats, very happy.

The large vehicles in the back are led by lions to ward off evil spirits, followed by treasures and flags, and music, performances, and various jugglings follow behind the convoy, which is very lively.Qinqiang opera, shoulder pole opera, crosstalk, double reed, magic, Shulaibao, playing Chinese banners, Yangko, stilts, etc. slowly moved forward with the convoy; bursts of cheers erupted from the crowd, deafening, all kinds of performances made people overwhelmed, watching dazzled.

Brother Hou took Chen Yue, Chen Tao, and Chen Hui and waited until the entire convoy passed by. He was still unsatisfied, and followed the flow of people behind the convoy, afraid that the excitement would just leave him; until the end of the whole street, The convoy turned a corner and went farther and farther before they stopped—it was a huge field with an extremely tall ginkgo tree in the middle, which was unexpectedly covered with red ribbons, and the surrounding area under the tree full of people.

Take a closer look, the men and women under the tree are all young men and women, the women are chattering and fighting, and the men are hooking each other, joking with each other, and it is very lively.

"What is this?" Chen Hui asked in surprise.

"Idiot! Qixi Festival, red ribbon, what else can it be!" Chen Tao looked at Chen Hui like an idiot.

Chen Tao's guess is not unreasonable. Sure enough, several people went to inquire about it, and only then did they know that this tree is called "Marriage Tree". It is said that this tree has spirits. marriage.At this time, it is the annual Qixi Festival, and these red ribbons on the tree are naturally the "marriage line" between men and women.

The ends of the red ribbon are marked with yellow and blue markers, one for women and the other for men.All men who come here can tie a sign on a red ribbon with a number on it, which is the serial number representing their identity.At the beginning of the event, all women can draw a red ribbon to find the strange man at the other end.

Dare to love, this is a blind date!

Looking up, under the marriage tree, there are a few kind-hearted old people who are dedicated to managing these brands as Yue Lao.They have a big booklet with many grids drawn on it.Before participating in the event, all men need to write their names and a location on the grid corresponding to each brand, so that after the event, unmarried women who are destined can go to the corresponding place to meet men.

Every half an hour, there will be an activity, a group of children will draw red ribbons, and then the red ribbons on the tree will be replaced with a new batch for the next use.However, not every red ribbon will be drawn by a woman, and there may not be a man's brand on the other end of the red ribbon drawn by every woman. According to the words of the elders, it depends on God's will.

"You three, the boss is not too young, go and get a sign," Brother Monkey joked, "Maybe you can be drawn, and bring a beautiful girl home!"

Chen Hui, Chen Yue, and Chen Tao shook their heads again and again, "Brother Monkey, you should go! You are too old, you can't be single forever..."

"I begged the immortals to ask, to cut off the love, and not to touch the fireworks of the world..." Brother Hou raised his neck, pretending to be noble, and almost made the three watching brothers vomit all over the floor.

In this way, several people pushed and shoved, except for Brother Hou who ran out to go to the toilet a few times halfway, no one went to that old man's place to fill in the sign, until the sound of gongs and drums, the voice of "Draw the red ribbon!" came, Teams of women came to draw red ribbons, and four people stopped.

"These girls are all pretty!" Brother Hou's eyes widened, "As expected of Qinzhou City, the ladies from rich families are worth as much as a cow's hair!"

"Hey, Brother Monkey, who cut off the love, has moved his heart?" Chen Tao teased.

"No way!" Brother Hou pouted, "Brother Monkey, I have a bad stomach today, even if I fill out the sign and get drawn, I still have to make a fool of myself..."

"Cut..." the three brothers of the Chen family hissed.

After all the women in this batch finished drawing the red ribbons, the women began to look for the men who had been waiting for them all over the city.Several people could clearly see that in some corners and beside the water tanks, the men couldn't help but feel a little moved when they saw the joyful expressions of the strange women coming to meet them.

At this time, Brother Hou yelled strangely, "My stomach hurts, I'll go to the toilet again! You guys don't wait for me, go shopping by yourself!"

Chen Yue, Chen Tao, and Chen Hui looked at each other, and then agreed in unison, "Brother Monkey must have a problem!"

Then, the three brothers secretly followed Brother Hou's trail...

After walking a few streets, in a secluded corner, the three brothers saw Brother Hou hiding there furtively, looking left and right, as if waiting for someone.

At this time, Brother Hou's figure moved suddenly, and suddenly changed from a sneaky look to a straight, tall and graceful appearance. Coupled with Brother Hou's handsome face, it really looks like that.

Chen Hui and Chen Tao followed Brother Hou's gaze, and saw not far away, a young girl approached, like a pearl shining brightly, and a beautiful jade shining brightly, there was a hint of bookishness between her brows, she was actually a lady from a great family.

"Could it be that Brother Hou went to the bathroom a few times to fill in a sign?" Chen Yue asked suspiciously.

Chen Tao interjected: "Nonsense, look at the way he falters and falters furtively, even a fool can guess it!"

"Keep your voice down, it won't be a good show if you are discovered!" Chen Hui said softly, turning his head.

"That's right, shut up!" Chen Tao also echoed.

Chen Yue quickly shut his mouth.

In the field of vision of the three, the woman walked closer and closer, gradually covering the sight of several people. When seeing Brother Monkey, the figure paused, as if shocked by Brother Monkey's appearance, I don't know if it was a surprise or what.

Chen Yue, Chen Tao, and Chen Hui were a little excited and curious. They stretched their ears and listened carefully to the upcoming conversation.

The show is about to begin!

A plain and elegant voice sounded very pleasant to the ear: "Excuse me, are you a little monkey?"

"Pfft!" Chen Yue, Chen Tao, and Chen Hui spat out, covered their stomachs and bent over laughingly, and whispered, "Little monkey, my God, thanks to him coming up with this name, hahaha..."

As the parties involved, Brother Hou and the woman didn't hear it, but continued to chat, but the content was so boring that the three of them couldn't help giving their thumbs up—you can chat about this kind of topic!
Chen Yue, Chen Tao, and Chen Hui were secretly listening, when another immature but enchanting voice came, "Excuse me, who is the little monkey?"

This voice is very sweet, so sweet that it makes your teeth sore.

Immediately, the three brothers of the Chen family stared wide-eyed in shock, and Chen Yue couldn't help cursing, "Damn, I'm on two boats!"

Chen Hui and Chen Tao said, "Look quickly, what does this look like?"

The three searched for the source of the sound in their field of vision, and quickly locked on to a woman not far away. They saw that this woman was slender, with a snowy complexion and picturesque features. She was actually a stunning beauty.

When two beauties meet, there must be a wound.

Sure enough, the conversation that followed was not very harmonious—the two women quarreled.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" the lady said.

"Who am I looking for? Of course it's a little monkey? Where did you come from?" the stunning beauty asked back.

"I drew the little monkey, you must have made a mistake!" The lady's words were a bit aggrieved.

"No! Look!" The stunning beauty showed the sign in her hand, and said to Brother Monkey, "Could it be...you wrote two signs? What are you doing?" The lady said, "That so-and-so, I've taken a fancy to this handsome guy, he's mine tonight, you can go find something else!"

Chen Yue, Chen Tao, and Chen Hui were so surprised that they could stuff eggs into their mouths, "Tonight?! Oh my god, brother Hou is lucky!"

Brother Hou stood there grinning, his eyes narrowed into slits, and his mouth couldn't be closed from ear to ear. It was obvious that these two beauties made all the unhappiness out of the blue.

What happened next was even more bizarre, the two girls quarreled and even fought, but at the critical moment, under Brother Monkey's witty words and coaxing, the two girls were willing to have a tryst with Brother Monkey at the same time!

Chen Yue was taken aback, "This era is too open!"

Chen Tao resentfully said, "If I had known earlier, I would have hung up one too!"
