Chapter 70
There are two very important festivals in Huanhai Township. In addition to the Taige of the Lantern Festival, the other is the fire dragon praying to heaven.

The beating of gongs and drums in front is so powerful that every sound of drums seems to be able to knock into people's hearts.

The fire dragon dancing behind is even more majestic.

The raised dragon head weighs eight or nine catties. The dragon head is at least two meters above the ground. The dragon ball in front of it is a brazier supported by three woods. The structure is ingeniously designed. collapse, but the sparks and ashes from the brazier will spill.

The dragon body in Jianghai Village is longer than that of other villages in Huanhai Township, reaching 25 meters, requiring more than 20 strong men to lift the pole.

Except for the joints where the dragon body is made of silk, the rest of the dragon body is made of paper, which is supported by bamboo strips, so that it can be easily burned in the fire after nightfall.

Therefore, the dragon dance is very difficult for the two big men who are in charge of the dragon head and the dragon ball, and it is extremely a test of tacit understanding, so as to prevent the sparks from the dragon ball from falling into the dragon body and burning the fire dragon in advance.

The sound of gongs and drums came all the way, and the crowd retreated to both sides.

Uncle Mo raised his camera and snapped dozens of photos.

Seeing Sun Bailu who was lowering his head and writing on the paper, Uncle Mo said, "Little beauty, is your family here?"

Sun Bailu said "um", and said while writing: "Sun Chenghua is following, and Sun Daqian is at the end."

Sun Chenghua is one of the replacements for the dragon head dance. There are three people in total. After all, they have to walk around the entire Huanhai Township, and they are all uphill and downhill. , Don't waste people's feet.

Sun Daqian also danced the dragon head when he was young, but now that he is getting older, he walks behind and takes it easy.

Uncle Mo said: "Sun Chenghua is your eldest brother, Sun Daqian seems to be your father."

"Ah."

"Why do you even call your father's name?"

Sun Bailu smiled at him: "Because I'm a bumpkin, and that's what we bumpkins are like."

"..."

Yu Fushu, who kept looking at the front, frowned and looked at Uncle Mo.

Uncle Mo said in a low voice: "Little Mister, I've never called out like that in front of her, I swear!"

Sun Bailu glanced at them, pursed her lips and smiled, bowed her head and continued writing.

Suddenly, firecrackers started to be set off in front, and a series of firecrackers were thrown on the ground, crackling and exploding.

The flames dissipated all of a sudden, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, white smoke billowed up, and the fire dragon began to dance in this "cloud and mist", flying left and right, suddenly low-pitched, and then suddenly soaring into the sky, light and vigorous, wide and vigorous. full of morality.

The children screamed and cheered, and the crowd applauded.

Uncle Mo looked at it for a while and exclaimed: "It's a great momentum!"

Yu Fushu saw that the girl who had been writing with her head down all the time also raised her head, looked straight at the big fire dragon, and said calmly, "I thought you didn't like to watch it."

Sun Bailu looked at the big dragon soaring through the clouds and mist, with a look of disappointment in his eyes: "I also thought I didn't like it."

In the previous life, Sun Bailu couldn't remember how the fire dragon Qitian slowly disappeared.

In short, there are fewer and fewer people in Huanhai Township. Young people go out, old people stay in empty villages and empty houses, and there are only a few people left on the whole bustling long street. Obliterated by the years.

"Is your uncle here?" Yu Fushu asked.

"Yes," Sun Bailu looked at the dragon's tail, "uncles are the last ones, and they are dancing the dragon right now."

Yu Fushu said "Mmm", and looked sideways at the fire dragon.

He inadvertently asked a question, but he could tell that she didn't like her brother and her father, and her uncle was still an uncle, not Xia Zhihong.
