Chapter 69: Chapter 69: A Night of Fish and Dragon Dance ([-])

When Gu Jiuniang heard that the head of the Fish and Dragon Society was coming, she and Nie Er hurried upstairs.Nie Kongkong took Li Chan by the arm, led him to the door, and pointed to the crowd not far away, "Look, Uncle."

The crowd surrounded a sedan chair, and a man in white sat in the sedan chair.Singing and juggling are popular in the lower nines, so naturally actors can't ride in sedan chairs.But the opera sedan chair is an exception.It's just that the opera sedan chair can't go on the road at ordinary times, and it's only because of the meeting of fish and dragons that it can go on the road.

The man in white was handsome, with a warm smile. The cold spring was not over, but he was holding a folding fan. When people greeted him from the roadside building, he bowed his hands in return.Nie Kongkong looked at him from afar and said excitedly, "This is Huishou Cao."

Li Chan leaned back against the door frame, "The name sounds a bit feminine, but it turned out to be a man."

Nie Kongkong was surprised and said, "Uncle, did you know?"

Li Chan nodded. He had been to the Ichthyosaur Fair twice in the past, but he only watched the excitement around him, so he couldn't recognize the leaders.

Nie Kongkong said: "This Cao Huishou's name is feminine, but he is a man. There are many people who play tricks, but he is the most superb. Uncle doesn't know his name, but he must have heard of the fairy pole." At the Ichthyosaur meeting that year, it was Cao Huishou who took out a bamboo tube and put it into the water. Good guy, as soon as the bamboo tube entered the water, it became taller and taller! Then it went straight to the clouds! Cao Huishou Shaking the bamboo pole, swishing it, the pole retracted again, and brought down such a long ribbon! It is said that this ribbon was given by the immortals, and the saints were very happy when they saw this trick."

Li Chan said with a smile: "So powerful, does this leader Cao really know supernatural powers?"

Nie Kongkong thought for a while and said, "That's not necessarily true. Practitioners probably don't come to do these things?"

Li Chan said with a smile: "Cultivators are also human beings, and there are some who play games in the world. Otherwise, how could there be so many legends of ghosts?"

Suddenly there was a conversation upstairs:
"How about... let's just drink two doses of medicine and forget it? Let's forget about the side magic, if the throat is completely broken..."

"What are you worrying about?"

"Hey, besides me, who else cares about you?"

"My throat is broken... You should be happy, or it's your turn to care."

Immediately afterwards, a string sounded, and it was fleeting.It seems to have touched the lute by mistake.Nie Kongkong muttered: "The bitch is ruthless."

Nie Er, who had just stepped down, stared at him and reprimanded in a low voice, "What are you talking about?"

Nie Kongkong snorted and ran out.

Neil walked out the door and let out a sigh of relief at the commotion outside.

Li Chan smiled and said, "Go out for a drink?"

"Brother is laughing at you." Nie Er chuckled.

……

Every ichthyosaur meeting, the three heads of the meeting roughly have an idea of ​​what kind of drama will be arranged, and for the remaining places, they will walk around the streets during the small ichthyosaur meeting to select people with special skills to serve as ichthyosaurs. It will add some color.

Cao Huishou was surrounded by the crowd and walked through Gantang Lane. Gu Jiuniang, who was upstairs, drank the bowl of medicine in one gulp. After trying the strings on the couch, she hurried downstairs and left behind the crowd.

As soon as Li Chan arrived at the entrance of the alley, he saw a few young men from a distance, Xiang Sao Qingniang chatting up Tu Shanxi.

Tu Shanxi's appearance is alluring, but her long and narrow eyebrows are sharp and aggressive, which makes a few wandering children pause in their footsteps, feeling guilty in their hearts. When they see their attire clearly, they don't look like rich and noble women's family members, and they feel that being intimidated by a woman is too much Ashamed, he leaned forward instead.

A young man laughed and said, "Why are the two young ladies here, why don't you go shopping with us?"

Tu Shanxi was fiddling with the porcelain rabbit ornament won by the pitching pot, but ignored it.Sao Qingniang hugged the cat, looking through the gaps in the crowd, she saw Li Chan's figure, and was about to speak, when a figure appeared beside her, and said with a smile to those floating boys: "Everyone, everyone, these two sisters already have with."

A few floating boys looked at Nie Kongkong and smiled.

"Where is the companion?"

"Could it be you?"

"Who's family came out and left the female relatives behind, maybe they went to drink flower wine by themselves. The three young ladies listened to me, the Qionghua puppet show over there is about to start, let's go and have a look together?"

Nie Kongkong was not annoyed by being teased, and said with a smile, "Heroes love beauties, but this time, unfortunately, the two elder sisters do have companions, and they are both big-headed fish with saddles on their backs, running around the rivers and lakes, everyone, hold your hands high, hold your hands high." Then he cupped his hands to a few floating children and made a gesture.

Several floating boys saw this gesture, one of them smiled and said a few words of regret, and then left eastward.Nie Kongkong greeted Sao Qingniang with a smile, and his eyes fell on Tu Shansi again. At this time, Li Chan walked through the crowd, made the gesture to Nie Kongkong just now, and asked, "What does this mean?"

Nie Kongkong smiled and said, "Uncle is not in the world, so you don't need to know."

Li Chan looked at Nie Kongkong up and down, and said with a smile, "You've learned well, why didn't you go to the theater with Jiuniang?"

Nie Kong curled his mouth, and Li Chan said, "Are you still angry?"

Nie Kongkong snorted, "Children of the Jianghu, what are you angry about?" He went up and grabbed Qingniang's arm, complaining: "Uncle is also big-hearted, why did you put Qingniang with this sister..." He said straight Looking at Tu Shanxi.

Li Chan smiled, and Sao Qingniang explained: "My cousin is quite skilled in martial arts, so it's okay."

Nie Kongkong's eyes lit up when he heard martial arts.Tu Shanxi put the porcelain ornaments into the bag and called out, "Li Lang?"

Li Chan asked, "What?"

Tu Shanxi said: "Does Li Lang know, where can I buy better weapons?"

"Weapons? There is a weapons shop under the Zhenwu Gate. Go to the master surnamed Cheng and tell me my name." Li Chan said and went to search his pockets.

Tu Shanxi said: "I have some money with me, it must be enough."

Li Chan was taken aback for a moment, but after saying something, Tu Shanxi said goodbye and left.Li Chan watched her back disappear into the crowd, with a suspicious expression on her face. This fox girl had no possessions when she first arrived, and she had never left Ximoju. Where could she get the money to buy the knife?
