Chapter 147 Moon Festival
It is said that the moon festival of the Yilu people is held only once a year, so it is very lively.

When it was late in the evening, people began to get busy.

Bonfires, food, wine...

The young girls and boys all looked nervous. After preparing the things outside, they went back to the bamboo building to tidy themselves up.

Even the Awaji who brought them back was no exception.

The newly changed clothes were spotless white, and the embroidery patterns on them were gorgeous and eye-catching.

"It has been passed down to this day. In fact, this moon festival is not only worshiping the moon god, but also for the young men and women of the Yilu tribe to find their loved ones under the witness of the moon god." Shi Zimo relayed Awaji's words lightly.

Luo Zhi nodded absently.

She followed Awaji to the small square in the center of the village, looking for the suspected mountain dweller.

But there were too many people, and the villagers from dozens of bamboo buildings all came out, and they had similar faces. She didn't see that face, and couldn't help but feel agitated.

Shi Zimo held her hand and said meaningfully, "Speaking of which, this moon festival is more like a festival for young people, so after eating around the bonfire, only the young people are left alone."

In other words, there will be far fewer people, so is it possible to act alone... After Luo Zhi understood the meaning, she felt relieved.

Two piles of bonfires in the center of the square were blazing, and the firelight made the faces of the people sitting around blush.Because there are too many people, it is naturally divided into two parts. The side with more people is married or elderly mountain people, while the side with fewer people is young unmarried men and women.

Luo Zhi and Shi Zimo naturally sat on the side with fewer people.

The two of them are foreigners, so they are already eye-catching, not to mention their outstanding appearance.Especially Shi Zimo, whose frowning eyes looked like two rippling lakes against the firelight, really touched the hearts of many Yilu girls.

They whispered to each other, even though they knew that he had a close relationship with the girl beside him, they still boldly cast affectionate gazes.

Shi Zimo glanced at the people around him, but others couldn't tell, but he couldn't miss the preoccupation and urgency in her eyes.Until the patriarch on the other side yelled that it was time to serve wine and meat, and when two men came over with the prepared food, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Following her line of sight, one of the people carrying the food shelf was exactly what they were looking for!

Shi Zimo silently withdrew his gaze, and landed on the bonfire.

Knowing that he would die, the moths still rushed forward and fell into it. Isn't it somewhat the same as him at this time?
The atmosphere quickly became more heated.

The strong aroma of wine and barbecue wafted in the air, and because of the excitement, young people came out to sing songs early.The younger and older ones also responded uncontrollably.The children also began to change from running to dancing.

In a scene full of singing and dancing, the only ones who are not affected are probably Shi Zimo and Luo Zhi.

Although there was a smile on his face according to the occasion, Luo Zhi's consciousness was firmly locked on the mountain man named Xiuku.

After the atmosphere reached a climax, it gradually calmed down. The elderly people began to leave, and then couples with children.Before long, the bonfire on the other side dimmed.And here, Awaji stepped forward to add Tim, and took out a piece of spice and threw it in.

The flame became brighter and even emitted a faint fragrance.

He raised his arms and shouted, "Men of the Yilu tribe, look at us now!"

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Neither Luo Zhi nor Shi Zimo expected that the finale of the Moon Festival would be like this.

Those young men did not court their ideals tenderly, but rushed towards them like ferocious beasts.The girls who were willing were naturally shyly carried on the shoulders and taken aside, but there were also those who were unwilling, and they began to call out for their true lovers.There were two or three people fighting for it. They fought in a mess, and the girl who was robbed kept encouraging her sweetheart.As for those girls who don't have lovers, as long as they take out colorful short wooden sticks in their hands to stop the men who come forward, they can go back to their bamboo buildings safely.

When Luo Zhi saw this, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but then she woke up and successfully captured Shuku's location.

From the looks of it, the girl he likes is very sought after, plus he has four or five men vying for it.

The girl's anxious eyes followed Avaji's, but Shuku did not show weakness, and he still rushed forward after everyone else retreated knowingly.

In the end, he was still defeated.

When Awaji carried the girl to the big tree not far away, he bowed his head in frustration and left the team of the remaining men, and prepared to turn back to the bamboo building alone.

This is the best opportunity, how could Luo Zhi let it go!

She got up quickly and said, "You wait here, I'll be back soon."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Shi Zimo to answer, he quietly chased after him.

Shi Zimo knew her tricks, so he wasn't worried.Besides, it was too eye-catching for both of them to leave, so he stayed where he was.

But gradually, he felt something was wrong.

The aroma from the bonfire is getting stronger and stronger, which makes people feel restless.His body was filled with flames, rushing straight to his lower body... Even his mind became a little dull.

Oops!There is something wrong with that spice!
He didn't have time to think about the reason, and immediately circulated his spiritual power cross-legged, trying to counteract this raging fire of desire.

Luo Zhi, who had already left, was not affected at all.

This spice is originally a fragrance in the early stage, and the effect of adding to the fun in the later stage is well known by the Yilu people.

So once no one is found, everyone will leave the campfire.Those who will stay are those lovers who are lingering in hiding places.

The Yilu people are open-minded, and they are not too lenient in the relationship between men and women.They even think that copulation under the moonlight will be blessed by the moon god, and it is the purest and most flawless behavior.

It was also because of this that Avaji forgot to tell the rare foreign visitors what everyone took for granted.

At this time, Luo Zhi was naturally unaware of Shi Zimo's predicament, she hurriedly caught up with Xiuku, and knocked him down in one fell swoop in a place where no one was around, dragged him to an open space far away from the bamboo building, and set up a hidden barrier.

Shuku, who was pushed to the ground, propped up his upper body and yelled in a low voice.

Luo Zhi crossed her arms and sneered, "Speak Mandarin, I know you can!"

When resting in the bamboo building in the afternoon, she can't practice well, but she can't just sit around.I was going to find out where the man in front of me was, but I overheard a conversation between Awaji and his mother about Shuku.

Although she didn't understand it, it was still possible for Shi Zimo to translate it as she learned it.

Only then did I know that he could speak Mandarin at all.

Of course, that's not all.

When Shuku was exposed, he immediately looked resentful, "Avaji must have told you, he is a traitor!" It was indeed Mandarin, although it was blunt, but it was no problem to understand.

Luo Zhi raised the corners of her lips sarcastically, "Traitor? This word should be used on yourself! You don't know why I came to you alone. I advise you to tell the truth honestly. Otherwise, you can't bear the burden." as a result of!"

Shuku's face changed a lot, and he still said stiffly, "You, don't slander me!"

Seeing his stubbornness, Luo Zhi hated him very much, "You want the elder to interrogate you in person? Don't forget, you only returned to the Yilu tribe when you were five years old. There is more than one person in this tribe who doesn't trust you. In the name of Awaji, the future patriarch, protecting you, I didn’t say anything. But what did you do? You must have seen my missing friend, maybe, you are still his accomplice in kidnapping him! You can betray an innocent person today The person who is here can betray your people tomorrow! How do you think they will think of you? Even if your sweetheart does not marry Awaji, she will never like a traitor who may betray the people at any time!"

"No, no, no! You're talking nonsense, nonsense!!" Shuku roared, bowing towards her.

Luo Zhi raised her hand, and the rattan whip hit him with a "slap".

The whip was merciless, and it sent him flying into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Watching him stand up coldly and wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth, Luo Zhi pressed, "Say it, or not?"

Shuku gasped for a few moments, then smiled bleakly for a while, "I, say..."

On the night when the incident happened, it was Xiuku's turn to guard the forbidden area. His accomplices frequently ran to the woods to solve the problem because they ate the wrong food, so he had to patrol by himself.

At this time, just like today at noon, two figures suddenly appeared in the forbidden area.

A black-clothed man with only two pairs of eyes left dragged another unconscious man in a combat uniform, and the two fell into the tunnel together.

Shuku was about to step forward with a weapon in hand, but he didn't know what the black-clothed man had used to make him unable to move, and he couldn't even open his mouth.

The man turned around in the tunnel, You Qi stopped for a while in front of the stone gate of the forbidden area.

Finally, he warned Huoku to keep the day a secret, and threw him a book.

Said that they are also destined, the contents of this booklet let him practice hard.He also said that he will come again in the future, and he can teach him more powerful skills at that time.But the premise is that you can't tell others, even clansmen.

Shuku didn't want to agree at first. His mother was greedy for the flashy life promised by outside men and abandoned her fiancé to elope. As a result, she died in a foreign land. Even her only son could only rely on a map to beg along the street to return to the clan.His identity has been criticized by others, and he doesn't want to hide anything from his clansmen anymore.

However, when he saw the contents of the book, he changed his mind.

He has also been practicing the fitness method passed down from generation to generation by the Yilu people, but it is definitely not as good as what is recorded in this book.If he can really keep this booklet as his own and practice hard, it might not be difficult to defeat Awaji who is stronger than him!
Greed creates ambiguity.

He recalled the suspicious eyes cast on him by those adults and children when he first returned to the clan, those nights he endured through every night whether it was sickness or pain, and the girl in his heart spoke to him without false words, and turned to To Awaji, it was a scene of smiles like flowers...

He finally made a decision he thought he would never regret.

Although, the man in black was obviously holding another man hostage.
