Red makeup against the world

Chapter 290 Crowd
As the wooden barrels were pulled onto the Luoshui Bridge one by one, the people on both sides of the Luoshui River waited and watched.

The release of life has always been the highlight of the Xiaoman Festival, and it is also the most talked about by the people.At this time of year, which one releases the most animals and which one is the most stingy will become the topic of conversation after dinner.

The servants in different clothes poured buckets of lively fish into Luoshui.This whole process will last for an hour.

At the same time, Qin Tianjian was on the high platform, burning incense to worship the God of Erche.

Xiaoman is a festival of praying for water. Whether the eminent monk pours holy water into Luoshui or releases life, they all pray for abundant rainfall in the coming summer without drought or waterlogging.

During this whole day, the fishing boats stopped fishing and did not go out to sea.They believe that the fish released today carry blessings for Erche God, and the more blessings Erche God receives, the more favorable the weather will be this year.Therefore, today, no one dares to risk the displeasure of the world by going out on a boat to fish.

The people on both sides of Luoshui River were full of voices, and everyone stretched their necks to watch this year's grand event of releasing animals.

People gathered in groups and talked a lot.Some said: "Look, look! This is the servant of Prince Qi's mansion. King Qi is indeed the most benevolent, and he released ten barrels of life."

"What is this? Just now the Prince's Mansion released [-] barrels!"

"I recognize this family. His mother-in-law is always stingy when she goes out to buy vegetables. You see, there are only two barrels for such a big family."

Among the crowd, Liu Qiran squeezed forward with all his strength, causing everyone to stare at him angrily.At this time, even if you are the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, you don't dare to offend the public.

Liu Qiran had no choice but to laugh along with him while striving to move forward.In order to protect him, Gao Yi, who was beside him, received countless black punches, and was beaten until he grinned.

Liu Qiran hadn't figured out how to express his determination to Dr. Tu, Xiaoman was pulled out today to accompany his mother to the meeting.

When he was bored, Gao Yi sneaked in and told him that Hu Liu saw the two sisters of the Tu family outside.He couldn't sit still for a while, found an excuse, slipped out, and squeezed in the direction Hu Liu said.

Finally, he saw Mrs. Li and the two sisters of the Tu family through the crowd, and they disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye.

There were too many people, so after repeating this several times, Liu Qiran became more frustrated and courageous, and secretly said to himself: "If I don't see Miss Tu Er today, I will be my grandson!"

Tu Manzhen was elated among the crowd. This was the first time she went out since she came back from the Peony Flower Fair and was grounded.Looking around here, I always feel that everything is novel and interesting.

"This Xiaoman Festival comes every year, why should you be happy?" Tu Manfen teased her.

Tu Manzhen stuck out her tongue playfully: "I'm just happy, don't mind me!"

The Tu family is not qualified to set up a tent on the shore, so they can only move forward with the crowd, trying to find a good place to watch the grand occasion of releasing animals.

Several guards kept them firmly in the middle, for fear that the flow of people would disperse them.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion ahead.

A woman dressed disheveledly and with disheveled hair rushed in through the crowd. Not far behind her was a man holding a butcher's knife.He had a ferocious expression on his face, his eyes were red, and he said viciously: "Bah! You bastard! Steal a man while I'm not around, and see if I don't hack you to death!"

The crowd avoided one after another, and one of them said, "Hey! Isn't this Butcher Wang! His mother-in-law didn't look like a good guy at first glance, and something happened."

The Tu family was relatively close to them, and the crowd's avoidance disrupted the formation of the guards, and Li quickly stretched out his hands to hold his two daughters.The right hand grabbed Tu Manfen to the side, but the left hand caught nothing, only to hear Tu Manzhen yell in horror: "Mother!" and was swept away by the crowd.

Mrs. Li was in a hurry, her face turned white, and she hurriedly said to the guard beside her, "Hurry up and find Second Miss!"

After leaving her mother, Tu Manzhen was anxious.Surrounded by strangers I don't know, I don't know who is trustworthy when I look up.Her legs moved involuntarily in the direction of the crowd. Seeing that she was alone, one of the disciples smiled obscenely and wanted to squeeze in front of her to get her money.

Seeing that apprentice getting closer and closer, Tu Manzhen bit her lips tightly, not letting her tears flow down, not wanting others to see her weakness, but feeling helpless in her heart.

At this moment, a pair of hands firmly grasped her, parted the crowd, pulled her to the other side, and said, "Follow me!"

Tu Manzhen took a closer look, why did she meet Liu Qiran at this time?Hastily struggling to shake off his hand.

Liu Qiran was helpless, who made her such a bad first impression?I had to say sincerely: "Second Miss, please trust me once, I'm in front, you follow me, don't get lost! You don't know how crowded the crowd is."

Seeing his sincerity, Tu Manzhen hesitated. Although the two had a feud, he was indeed the only acquaintance right now.

Liu Qiran said again: "It's broad daylight, what can I do to Miss Er? First get out of the crowd, and then I'll send someone to look for your mother. I think you're missing, Mrs. Tu must be in a hurry!"

Thinking of her mother, Tu Manzhen bit her lip, that's all, and trust him for once.Nod to Liu Qiran.

Liu Qiran was overjoyed, and told him again, he and Gao Yi led the way ahead, Tu Manzhen followed closely behind them, and the three squeezed towards the bank of Luoshui River.

After finally getting out of the crowd, Liu Qiran wiped off his sweat.He had spent a lot of effort to find Tu Manzhen before, but this time he led her out and felt out of breath.

Seeing his hair sticking to his face and his clothes crumpled, Tu Manzhen couldn't help but chuckle.

Liu Qiran was wiping his sweat, but he was stunned when he saw her smile.Yes, it was her clear smile that moved him.

He looked around and saw a tea stand not far away, said: "Second Miss, let's go over there to have a rest, and I'll send someone to find your mother and elder sister."

When I saw him last time, I was insulted by him, why did I treat myself so well this time?Tu Manzhen has a straightforward personality, so she asked suspiciously: "You scolded me so fiercely last time, why are you so easy to rescue me today and help me find my mother?"

Liu Qiran scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "What happened last time was my fault. I couldn't stand those people's booing, and I was dizzy for a while."

After finishing speaking solemnly, he gave a deep salute, and said, "Second Miss, please forgive me for the next one."

Seeing such a drastic change in him, Tu Manzhen felt vigilant, and returned the courtesy: "You are the son of the world, the little girl dare not be your gift."

Hearing her speak like this, I know that her doubts have not been dispelled.Liu Qiran smiled wryly in his heart, and said helplessly, "Second Miss, you don't have to talk like that, it's good that you and I get along well. Let's sit over there."

Tu Manzhen nodded, and the two sat down at the tea stand.
