Chapter 2035 Fiery Summer Festival
When the group entered the mountain village, they felt like they had entered a lively shopping street or the campus when holding a cultural festival. There were various small shops on both sides, and the crowds were crowded, making it worthy of being the grandest summer festival here.
There are villagers wearing yukatas to attract customers, and there are tourists wearing formal clothes, adults and children, which are very lively.
Li Xuehao and his group were drowned in the crowd, so there was no point in being very prominent.
Everyone was a little excited in this atmosphere. Looking at the dazzling array of shops on both sides, there were snacks and game vendors, the most were various souvenirs. Because it was a "alphabet festival", most of them were small abalone-shaped toys, which were dazzling.
With a sound of "Hey Hey" coming from a distance, they stretched their necks and looked at them.
I saw that there were even more people in the distance, and I didn’t know what was so lively.
Li Xuehao held Kazuko Mizuhashi. He saw farther than others. It was a huge abalone statue carried by more than a dozen or twenty people, parading all the way.
Men in velvets carried abalone statues, walked through the streets and alleys, and were crowded everywhere.
Katoko Mizuhashi was the most excited. Because of her family, she had never seen such a lively scene. She hugged someone's neck and asked excitedly: "Big brother, what is that?"
"That's a huge abalone." Li Xuehao pointed to the "surging" crowds in the distance. He stood in front and could block the crowded scene for everyone.
"Is that big abalone?" she could see further because she was held and asked in surprise.
"It was just a statue, made of wood." Li Xuehao explained. Seeing the surging crowds getting closer, he reminded Chiba Xiaoshuhe and others behind him, "Sashiro, let's take a little bit."
"Yes." Chiba Xiaoshuri nodded and conveyed it one by one.
The surging crowd finally arrived in front of me, and the noisy sound suddenly became louder. I couldn't even hear clearly when I spoke from close range. There were only the shouts of more than twenty strong men carrying huge abalone statues in my ears.
When they walked away, their voices returned to normal. Mizuhashi Katoko took out the fingers blocking her ears, but her face was very excited.
"It's not the most lively now." My mother-in-law said as she looked at the crowds away. "Before she started fishing for abalone, there was also the fireworks of the Baud. That was the real lively time."
"God of Bau?" Li Xuehao was slightly stunned. Abalone has a magical spirit?
"This is a god that is sacrificed to Yamashita Village every year. The one in our village worships Lord Hailongnu. It is said that God Bao likes to wear white clothes, and people in Yamashita Village call him Bai Bao Shen." My mother-in-law explained.
Baibao Shen? Li Xuehao felt very strange in his heart. This was the first time he heard this. This also reminded him of the white-clothed mermaid Xuanzi, because he also liked to wear white clothes. If you think about it carefully, it was really possible. After all, Yu Xuanzi had been active in this area before and was worshipped as a god.
Subconsciously, Li Xuehao looked at Mrs. Shenyuan not far away. If Bai Bao Shen was Yu Xuanzi, she should have heard of it as a local.
Sure enough, the expression on Mrs. Shenyuan's face was very complicated, a little proud, and a little disdainful. I think what I am proud of is that her ancestors were worshipped as gods, but this is probably the reason for her disdain. God Bao was not worthy of her ancestor's divine character at all.
"Koji, as a 'catcher', you still have to register. Kazuko gives me it. You go to the square in the middle of the village and then meet with us after registering." Not long after, my mother-in-law told him how to register as a "catcher" in the village.
"Okay." Li Xuehao responded, secretly instructed and Charlotte to protect their group at 4:30, and then left alone.
The layout of Yamashita Village is similar to that of Miuratai Village. After all, it is two adjacent villages, so it may be learned from each other. The square in the center of the village is easy to find.
When I arrived at the square, I found that the bustling here was not as good as the roads coming in from the entrance of the village, and even seemed a little more crowded.
The square is obviously more suitable as a game place, such as catching goldfish, painting masks, fishing for water balls, snatching paper boxes, and storm boats... everything is available, and most of them are games that children like to play.
There are many children gathered in front of various game vendors, and parents or adults are right beside them, watching the children play with a smile.
Li Xuehao looked around the square and quickly found the registration office. It was a small shed with a long queue. There was a sign next to the shed with the words "Register", which was right there.
Most of the registered people are young, including men and women, each wearing a plaid dress and a bowl with the words "must-win" written on it.
Li Xuehao walked to the end of the team. He took a quick look and found that the registration speed was not slow. It took about twenty or thirty seconds per person, and it might take more than ten or twenty minutes when it was his turn.
Coincidentally, he actually found an acquaintance, the person in front of him, his dark and thin figure was very easy to identify. It was Ryuichi Kitano from the same village. He had not seen it because he was blocked by the person behind him before.
"Brother Long." Li Xuehao called his name.
Hearing the sound, Kitano Ryuichi quickly turned around and looked over curiously with the people behind him.
"Koji, are you here too?" Kitano Ryuichi was a little surprised. He seemed to be very familiar with the person behind Taita, and introduced them to them, "This is the grandson of Moonzi's grandson, Yamayou, this is the grandson of his mother-in-law's late mother-in-law..."
"I know him." Before he could finish speaking, the man who called Shanyou interrupted him and looked ambiguous. "Everyone in the village is rumoring that the grandson of my mother-in-law brought back many granddaughters, haha." He seemed a little envious and a little gloating.
Kitano Ryuichi was a little helpless. This man with big mouth had to wipe his butt for this: "Koji, Yamao has no malicious intentions, you don't have to take it to heart."
"I know, Brother Long." Of course, Li Xuehao couldn't care about such a small matter, and he knew that this was indeed not a malice.
"Where is my mother-in-law soon, didn't she come?" Kitano Ryuu looked around and asked.
"They are not here, I will go to meet after I register." Li Xuehao said.
"Then you have to wait a moment. There are too many people in front." Kitano Ryuu glanced at the team lined up and said enthusiastically, "Koji, come ahead of me."
"No need, Brother Long, very soon." Li Xuehao would not take such a small advantage, and it was only two people, so it would not take much time.
"Okay." Kitano Ryuichi didn't force himself. Seeing Yamao blocking him, he simply changed his seat with him to make it easier to speak, "Koji, when you came, you had already seen the 'Sea Dragon Girl'?"
"Sea Dragon Girl?" Li Xuehao was stunned.
"That's right, because it is a 'aballoon festival' jointly organized by the two villages, in addition to the bao Shen in Yamashita Village, there is also the 'Sea Dragon Girl' in our village. This time, the person who plays the hailong girl is a relative of Grandma Huizi, named Fei Zhen, and is a very cute and beautiful girl." Kitano Ryuichi said as he showed a fancy look on his face.
Like him, Shanyou seemed to be fascinated by the "Sea Dragon Girl".
