Chapter 246
The Ghost Festival in this small town is very interesting. People who come to participate will wear masks to put lights on the street that night. After that, if you meet someone you like, you can exchange masks with them.According to the custom, one person will take the initiative to walk in front of the person he likes, knock on his mask and then knock on the other person. If the other person is interested, he will take off the mask. If the other person disagrees, he can turn his head away. just go.

According to the legend, if the mask exchange is successful, you have to stay with this person until the end of life, otherwise you will be cursed by ghosts and gods.As if to show the horror of ghosts and gods, the masks that everyone wears on the festival day are very scary ghost faces. If someone can take the initiative to express their feelings in this way, it can be seen that the other party is sincere.

When the event spread around somehow, many people from all over the world came to attend and listen.Generally, men knock on women's masks more often. Some men knock on each other's masks and wait for the other party to reveal their true colors and find that they are not as he expected. Even if you change your mind, you will not be cursed by ghosts and gods, which makes the woman who took off her mask but was abandoned very frustrating.

Huanhuan thought it was fun, and wanted to put on a few more girls' masks at night. Lele thought that she couldn't do such a shameless thing, so she wanted to follow her elder brother to see that his excitement might be better than that. It's also fun to knock on your own.He knew that Yuantai would definitely not knock, so he recruited him into the group and made a plan on how to follow Huanhuan perfectly to watch him tease others.

King Zhuhua and Heping are married, and they can also exchange masks. After changing, they have to hold hands for others to see, so as not to be knocked by others.Xixi also thought this was fun, so she eagerly picked out the mask, but Tuanyuan didn't like it.Yuanyuan simply didn't want to squeeze in the crowd, and Tuantuan felt that this activity was a bit sloppy, but Zhuhua still encouraged them to take a mask and go for a walk on the street to feel it.Zhuhua would always feel regretful if she didn't participate in some special activities when she came out to play.

They lived in the best restaurant in the city, and they also reserved a private room with a view of the street. If they were tired from playing outside, they could come back to the private room to watch.

Jiajia was very happy when he first got the mask, but at night, the street was only illuminated by dim lights, and people wearing scary masks walked on the street, some even wore masks on their clothes It was bloody and scary.The locals are used to it, and it is estimated that people often dress up like this during festivals.

This is the so-called Zhu Gu Sheng, Zhu Hua thought to herself, she doesn't think there is any girl who is so brave enough to take off the mask in front of a man in blood.

Seeing such a scene, Jiajia was so frightened that she huddled behind Zhuhua and refused to go out of the restaurant. Even if Zhuhua said she wanted to hug him, he refused to go, and even cried and hugged her neck to make her do the same. do not go.Zhuhua had no choice but to exchange masks with King Ping at the entrance of the shop, and then went back.Once they went back, Tuanyuanyuan refused to go, and Zhuhua didn't force her.She felt that the light was a little dim, and if something happened, no one would notice.

Xixi would not be scared off because of this, Zhuhua saw that she squeezed into the crowd and disappeared without waiting for her to explain a few more words, she was helpless in her heart, she could only hope that the master Wu Yinggong lent her could keep up with her.

The lights on the street were dim, and although the masks on everyone's faces were scary, many of them were similar, but to be honest, few people had the courage to stare at this mask all the time at night.Xixi originally wanted to find Huanhuan and the others, but after looking around, she didn't recognize any of them. When she was looking around, several people came up to knock on her mask, but she turned around and left immediately.

After searching for a while, she felt bored, and she thought she would not take off the mask before seeing the face of the other person.When she heard it, she felt that the activity was a bit unfair. Why did the person who was knocked take off the mask first? Shouldn't the person who was knocked out first reveal the mask to show sincerity?And why are women always being knocked... She frowned slightly, looked around in the crowd, found a tall and straight man, went forward and knocked on his mask.

After Xixi knocked it down, she realized that the clothes on his body looked inconspicuous, but the material was of the highest quality, so she felt a little regretful.The man was also taken aback, and finally looked into her bright eyes, and took off the mask.Xixi looked at it, and found that this person was born well, with picturesque phoenix eyes and thick eyebrows, and a heroic spirit on his body.Xixi was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses immediately, lowered her head for a moment of thought, raised her eyes to meet the man with a sly smile, turned and ran away.

The man obviously didn't expect her to run away, and after a while, he raised the corner of his mouth helplessly, and put on the mask to cover his eye-catching facial features.

Xixi trotted through the crowd all the way, with a contented smile on the corner of her mouth. When she stopped, she looked up and saw that she was near the restaurant they had booked.Just as she was about to go forward, someone suddenly grabbed her and dragged her into a side alley.There were so many people, and everyone was dressed alike. At first, Xixi thought that her brother was trying to scare her, or that the young master had caught up with her just now. After entering the alley, she realized that the person pulling her was a burly man. .

She knew that things were not good, but she sneered inwardly, this little thief must have underestimated her, thinking that she could subdue her by relying on her size, she is not so weak.Thinking of this in her heart, she was still a little scared, and just about to resist, she suddenly felt a pain in her arm, and then gradually lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, she was lying on the bed, she woke up with a start, seeing that it was Zhuhua watching over her, she was relieved.

"Auntie." Xixi called her.

Zhuhua was sitting by the bed reading a book with Jiajia, but she didn't notice that she woke up for a moment, she raised her head after hearing the sound, and when she saw that she was about to get up, she quickly helped her up.Only then did Xixi feel dizzy and couldn't exert much strength.

"Someone pricked you with a poisonous needle covered with medicine. Although you are awake now, the medicine's effect will not fade for a while." She asked Chunyang to pour out the warm medicine beside her for Xixi Feed down.

"Drink this medicine and sleep for a while, the headache will not hurt so much tomorrow." Zhuhua coaxed.

Xixi nodded, scolded the bad guy in his heart, and fell asleep again thinking of asking who it was.In the next room, King Ping was accompanying Lele who was also drowsy.Lele drank the medicine and cried bitterly in his heart. For such a young man, the villains only wanted to kidnap him. Could it be that he looks like a woman?
In fact, this group of thieves also heard that there was an interesting Zhongyuan Festival here, so they wanted to take the opportunity to kidnap some single men and women.This year's handsome men and women are equally easy to sell. As for their origins, after they get rid of their hands, others will deal with them.Xixi, who was alone from the beginning, was actually targeted by them a long time ago, while Lele followed Huanhuan all the way too conspicuously, and everyone took advantage of the moment when he and Yuantai were rushed away by the crowd, they attacked him. Fortunately, they were surrounded by people, and Yuan Tai and Huanhuan were not far away, and immediately surrounded the thieves who were also difficult to escape.

King Ping arrested two thieves and asked Xiao Lin to send them to the local county magistrate with a name card. The county magistrate saw that this was a serious matter, and immediately sent people to close the city gate overnight, and sent additional people to patrol the streets .It's just that even if the gate of this small town is closed, you can still leave by climbing over the mountains or by water. When the incident broke out during the day, it was discovered that this group of thieves still kidnapped several girls and boys and fled.

The county magistrate knew that there were distinguished guests, so he naturally had to take this case seriously. Besides, the tourists attracted by the Ghost Festival every year can make a lot of money for the merchants in the town. How could he let go of these things that affect tourists? the wicked.

King Ping didn't care how the county magistrate did the investigation, and he and Zhuhua breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the two children were better the next day.Jiajia was also frightened when he saw the two of them being dragged back. Originally, he was willing to leave Zhuhua to play with his brothers and sisters, but now he returned to his clingy self.

When Xixi woke up in the morning, her head still hurt, and she was filled with anger. When she heard that the bad guys had escaped, she staggered out of bed and said she was going to catch them all.

"Just calm down, even if you go, you will only be taken away by them." Zhuhua stopped her helplessly and pressed her down on the bed.

"Auntie, lend me some guards and let me catch them back."

"Hey, look at what you can do. Knowing that your skills are not as good as others, you still want to rely on others for rescue? If you really want to catch bad guys, do you have the ability to practice kung fu well in advance? You don't see such enthusiasm when you practice kung fu. "

Xixi moved her lips, and hid in the quilt aggrievedly. She has been a little lazy in her practice recently, but she learned it from Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan is lazy every day, and her kung fu is not bad. .

At this moment, Yuanyuan was trying to get up and was arguing to see Zhuhua's family come to Xixi's room. Seeing that Xixi woke up, Yuanyuan walked to the bedside and looked at her, then stretched out her finger in front of Xixi's eyes. circle.

Xixi felt very dizzy when she saw it, she immediately closed her eyes and opened her hands, "What are you doing?"

"I saw the eldest cousin doing this in front of the second cousin, and the second cousin didn't dare to open his eyes."

"Second brother?" Xixi opened her eyes in surprise, and found Yuanyuan's fingers stretched out in front of her again, she quickly closed her eyes tightly, and asked, "Lele was also stabbed?"

"Yes, I was almost taken away."

"They catch men too?"

"Of course I did. Didn't you say that you wanted to go on a flower boat with men to see it? Do you think that all the men on it boarded the boat voluntarily?"

"Colale is so big, and I am so big, even if I get on a boat, I can escape."

"You drank the medicine right now, and you still dare not open your eyes to look at Yuanyuan. How do you know that the bad guy doesn't have a more powerful medicine, which can make you forget who you are, and you don't even know that you know martial arts?"

"This medicine is not good." Jiajia immediately shouted.

"Yes, such harmful things are not good." Zhuhua said and picked him up.

Xixi didn't hear anything, and angrily covered her head with the quilt and yelled several times.

"Okay, take good care of it, otherwise you won't be able to see Yuanyuan's fingers tomorrow."

"Yuanyuan is a brat." Xixi scolded under the quilt, unexpectedly she would be teased by her little cousin.

After hearing this, Yuanyuan patted her quilt, and said solemnly: "Cousin, you lie down obediently, and don't go to places with many people in the future. If you are not good at martial arts, you still have to charge forward alone. If they don't arrest you, who will you arrest?"

As she said that, she took a step back when Xixi lifted the quilt, and watched with satisfaction that Xixi sat up suddenly because of dizziness, staggered on the bed and couldn't move anymore.

"You child, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhuhua patted Yuanyuan lightly, let Chunyang help Xixi to lie down, and said with a smile: "Lie down well, I think you need to drink more medicine .”

Xixi lay powerless, so angry that she wanted to cry.In fact, she should be content, Yuanyuan just made her a little trouble, unlike Huanhuan next door, who doesn't care about her brother's physical and mental injuries, and deliberately finds words to anger him.

Lele really wants to cry but has no tears. He deeply understands how heavy brotherhood is.

The two lay in bed for two days before they could get out of bed and walk around. Zhuhua saw that the poison in them was very overbearing, and there was no good doctor in this small town to help detoxify them, so they had to stay for a few more days to make sure they were fully recovered leave before leaving.During this period, the county magistrate would come every day to report the case to King Ping, and finally after half a month, with the cooperation of the surrounding counties, several principal culprits of this group were arrested.

"Great, I'm going to see which bastard did it to me!" Xixi, who had regained her vitality, slapped the table and stood up when she heard the news.

"The person who attacked you and Lele was caught at the beginning. I'm afraid that half of his life has been tortured now. You can go and see if you want, change into men's clothes, and see what's growing in the prison. .”

"I've been to the prison a long time ago." Xixi said nonchalantly.When she was in Liangzhou before, out of curiosity, she went to the prison with Huanhuan. It was a bit dilapidated and there were some dirty people in the prison, but it was nothing to be afraid of.

Even though she thought so, she went to the local prison once, and said to Zhuhua when she came back: "The prison here is very smelly, and the guards are very ruthless. Hurt."

Zhuhua glanced at her, but didn't answer her words.Xixi felt bored, so she went with Lele, who was going with her, to discuss this matter with Huanhuan.The three of them chatted together for a long time, but after talking, Xixi thought of the way Zhuhua looked at her just now, as if she was looking at some silly girl.She came out this time to play a little crazy, she also caused some troubles, and almost got into an accident, but she is not such an ignorant little girl.Whether in Liangzhou or Chang'an, she dared to say that she was more knowledgeable than many girls who were raised in deep boudoirs, which should be the case, but now she began to feel that she was not as powerful as she thought.

 If there is such an event, would you dare to participate?Why do I feel scarier than Halloween?
