The Baiyun Temple Fair can be said to be the most grand folk activity in the capital during the first month of the lunar year. Moreover, the time of this temple fair can be traced back to the Yuan and Ming dynasties. It is unparalleled in its popularity.
Today, with the improvement of people's living conditions, temple fairs are even more lively than before.
Although Ye Feng, Wang Ma and Jiang Yuxin got up very early, when they arrived at Baiyun Temple, there were already crowds of people.
Not only are there various small stalls and vendors on the street, there are also many folk performances such as dragon and lion dances, stilt walking, and land boat performances. The sound of gongs and drums is deafening, and it is extremely lively.
Seeing several children aged five or six doing somersaults on a high platform and then landing steadily on a wooden pillar as thick as a bowl, although this little trick was not difficult for Ye Feng, he couldn't help but applaud and cheer.
I have to say that small places have their advantages, and big places have their own charm. But you can never see such a lively scene in Yuanhu Village.
"I'm going to go to the nearby Fire Temple to burn some incense for the gods and Buddhas. You two can play outside first, and we'll go into Baiyun Temple later."
After Wang Ma accompanied Ye Feng and Jiang Yuxin to watch the trick for a while, she smiled and went into the temple with incense, candles, and paper money.
There were many people at the temple fair, and Ye Feng was not worried that anything might happen to Wang Ma, so he took Jiang Yuxin to play in crowded places.
After a while, the two of them squeezed to the entrance of a bridge tunnel surrounded by about a hundred people.
Under the bridge hole, there is a wooden coin with a diameter of about one foot, which is painted with a layer of gold paint. A copper bell is hung at the coin hole. Many tourists are throwing coins into the coin hole.
"This is a classic activity at the Baiyun Temple Fair. It's called hitting the money hole. Whoever can hit the copper bell at the hole of the wooden coin with a coin will have good luck in the coming year."
Seeing Ye Feng's puzzled expression, Jiang Yuxin explained to him and said with some anticipation: "When I was a child, Wang Ma brought me here to play. I always threw coins at it, but unfortunately I never hit it once."
"What's so difficult about this? I'll smash one for you to see!" Ye Feng smiled when he heard this and took out a coin from his pocket.
"Haha, little brother, even though your girlfriend is by your side, you shouldn't be so confident. Every year, there are tens of thousands of people who come to play the money game, but only two or three of them can hit the target."
There were many people around, and as soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, someone immediately refuted him with a smile.
"What if I hit it?"
It was a happy New Year and the surroundings were bustling with activity. Ye Feng smiled and raised his eyebrows at the man.
"If you hit it, you shouldn't ask me what to do, but ask your girlfriend how to reward you." The guy was startled and did not answer Ye Feng's words. Instead, he looked at Jiang Yuxin and said jokingly.
Hearing the voice, Ye Feng turned around and looked at Jiang Yuxin with a smile.
"If you win, I will kiss you." Jiang Yuxin hesitated and said with a slightly hot face.
She and Ye Feng usually kept their relationship secret and kept their distance in front of others. It was a rare opportunity for her to let her hidden feelings come out into the sun and give some dog food to the single guys around them.
"Okay! Watch it!"
Ye Feng glanced at Jiang Yuxin's rosy pink lips, grinned, raised his hand and threw the coin out.
jingle!
When the coin was thrown out, the copper bell at the hole of the wooden coin began to shake immediately, and then a crisp bell sound was heard.
"Wow! It actually hit the target! I didn't expect you to be so powerful, little brother!"
"The temple fair has been going on for so many days, and you are the first one to hit the bell! It's a good omen! Good luck will come to you this year!"
Hearing the bell ringing, the tourists around who had been diligently throwing coins into the wooden coins and praying for good luck in the coming year immediately became excited. Many people looked at Ye Feng with envy and exclaimed.
"Well, it's time to fulfill the conditions, right?" Ye Feng smiled and turned to Jiang Yuxin and raised his eyebrows.
"Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!"
"With such good luck, how can I not give a kiss?"
As soon as Ye Feng opened his mouth, the people around him immediately started to make a noise.
Jiang Yuxin hesitated for a moment and looked at the densely packed crowd around her. She couldn't help feeling shy and uneasy, fearing that this scene might be seen by some acquaintance and Jiang Yixue might find out.
But seeing the expectant look in Ye Feng's eyes, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Ye Feng on the lips, then quickly retracted her head as if she had been electrocuted.
"No, this is too perfunctory, let's do something passionate and unrestrained!"
Before Ye Feng could say anything, the people around him started to make loud noises of dissatisfaction.
Moreover, Jiang Yuxin was sharp-eyed and saw some people holding cameras, trying to capture pictures of her and Ye Feng kissing.
These people were not perverts who took secret photos, but photography enthusiasts who liked to hang out at the temple fair and take some festive photos. Ye Feng and Jiang Yuxin, the tall and handsome man and the petite and cute woman, were the best material for the photo.
"let's go… "
How could Jiang Yuxin let these people take pictures of her and Ye Feng kissing? With a red face, she pulled Ye Feng and squeezed out of the crowd.
"Haha, the little girl is shy..."
Although the two of them hid away, there was still a lot of good-natured laughter coming from behind.
"Did you hear that? Everyone is very dissatisfied with your attitude."
Hearing this, Ye Feng joked to Jiang Yuxin with a smile.
The kiss just now was like a dragonfly touching the water, just a light peck. He only felt something soft, cool and sweet on his lips. Before he could savor it, the thing had disappeared.
"You damn guy, you are so bad. How could I forget that with your ability, you can easily hit the wooden coin even if it is only as big as a sesame seed, let alone a one-foot-long wooden coin!" Hearing the booing behind her, Jiang Yuxin's cheeks turned red and she blamed Ye Feng.
She was just busy watching the fun and forgot that it was very easy for Ye Feng to make a fortune.
Not to mention that he is an ancient martial artist, just relying on his identity as a miracle doctor who is skilled in flying needle acupuncture, it would not be difficult for him to do this.
After all, the acupuncture points on the human body are much smaller than copper coins. Even the acupuncture points can be pierced with flying needles. So, hitting the copper bell in the middle of the wooden coin would not be difficult for Ye Feng.
"Is there anything else that's difficult that we can try again?"
Ye Feng touched his nose jokingly, with a smug smile on his face.
"I won't play this kind of losing game with you anymore." Jiang Yuxin snorted, looked ahead, and said with a smile: "Let's go touch the stone monkey. It is said that touching it can cure diseases and eliminate disasters."
If touching the stone monkey can ward off disasters, then what is the use of a miracle doctor like me
Ye Feng smiled and shook his head. Although he disagreed with this, it was not easy to go against Jiang Yuxin's idea.
People's hope for good health and immunity to diseases is much stronger than other things, so there are more people touching the stone monkey than touching the money eye. The small stone monkey is surrounded by people in three layers inside and outside.
"Please, just let him touch the stone monkey!"
Before Ye Feng and Jiang Yuxin could line up, a mournful cry of pleading suddenly came from the crowd.
