When the little tiger was resting, he ran to find Yun Yan back, and his classmates followed behind, but they didn't dare to approach.
Yun Yanhui picked up the little tiger, "Did you call someone?"
The little tiger still remembers knowing, when Yun Yanhui brought him to meet him, and now he is lying on Yunyan's shoulder and shouting, "Hey Abbot..."
Lingran smiled and patted the little tiger's head, holding his wrist, and then let go, "The child is in good health."
Yun Yanhui knew that he just took the opportunity to take a look at the little tiger's body, hugged the little tiger a little, waved at the little tiger's classmates, and called them all.
These children looked at Shi Gaobi and his brother who looked very much like him, and it was very strange. Moreover, Shi Gaobi's elder brother seemed to be more friendly than Shi Gaobi, so he asked them questions one by one.
"Brother! Will you go to Jinmingchi during the Duanyang Festival?"
"We will all go to play, let Shi Gaobi go too!"
"Little Tiger, everyone invites you out to play? Are you going?" Yun Yan smiled back and asked for Little Tiger's opinion.
Unexpectedly, this time, it made everyone talk.
"Little Tiger, Shi Gaobi's nickname is Little Tiger?"
"Yeah, so cute..."
The little tiger suddenly felt a little awkward. Although this was his name, he felt a little embarrassed when he heard these people discussing it. He turned his head and said, "Don't go, don't go!"
"You really don't want to go? Jinming Pond during the Duanyang Festival is really fun. Have you ever seen a water puppet show?" Yunyan teased the little tiger, "If you don't, I'll go alone?"
The little tiger held back for a long time, and suddenly said, "So you don't bring Brother Chu? That's fine!"
Yunyan replied: "..."
Of course, in the end, the little tiger agreed to go play. Every festival, Bianjing is full of fun, and there is no child who doesn't love it.
…
The May Festival has arrived quietly. From the first day of May to the fifth day of the fifth day, the streets are buying and selling all kinds of festive items such as longevity strands, fragrant sweets, and rice dumplings.
Yun Yanhui searched the street market for a long time, and finally found the seven-pointed mugwort leaves, bought a bunch of them, and hung a bunch on the door. The rest boiled water and bathed the little tiger, which could dispel dampness and ward off evil spirits.
This is a custom passed down from generation to generation. Before Yunyan returned to travel, he bathed with mugwort water when he was a child, and it was the same after travel. At that time, he felt inexplicably moved.
The water of mugwort leaves is dark in color and has a strong aroma of mugwort leaves. Yunyan returned to wash the head and body of the little tiger, and the little tiger kept holding his breath with a bitter face, "What a great taste!"
"You won't be bitten by mosquitoes after taking a bath, be good." Yun Yanhui wrapped the little tiger in a big towel and carried it to the bed.
The little tiger sniffed at himself, "Is this fumbling away mosquitoes?"
"Yeah!" Yun Yan put on his clothes and tied a five-colored longevity thread on his wrist.
"What is this?" The Miao people don't have this custom during the Dragon Boat Festival, so the little tiger doesn't know what the longevity thread is for.
"This is called the longevity thread. After wearing it, it can expel disasters. Don't pull it off yourself." Yunyan explained to the little tiger, "Also, tomorrow, sister Shuangyi will take you to Jinmingchi..."
The little tiger's eyes widened, "Brother won't accompany me?"
"It's not..." Yun Yan looked back, "it's just different from you..."
…
This year's Duanyang Festival, the people of Kaifeng House paid more attention than in previous years.
In the past, every time I went to Duanyang, Jinmingchi, one of the royal gardens, would hold a series of activities. The Jin Myung Pond is man-made and used to train sailors in the past. When the first emperor was in power, he began to allow people to go in and play regularly.
Among those activities during Duanyang, the most popular should be dragon boat racing. In addition, there are hundreds of performances such as water battles, water puppets, and water swings.
It's just this year, I don't know who came up with the bad idea, but it is stipulated that the court's lawsuits in Beijing should also participate in the dragon boat race. As for which departments, the groups will take turns, and which group will go first depends on the lottery.
Kaifeng Mansion was drawn to participate.
Think about it, Kaifeng Mansion has to maintain public order in the whole city. If the common people saw that they lost a crushing defeat during the dragon boat race, wouldn't it be very imposing
Bao Zheng personally gave instructions, he must pay attention to it and get a good ranking.
People like Zhan Zhao, Wushu, Kaifeng Mansion F4 and even Zhao Yunchu are the main players without a doubt. But Yun Yanhui thought it was inconceivable... Why did you pull him up too? !
Zhan Zhao: "Fifty people are needed. Brother Yan should also participate."
Yun Yan replied, "I'm not participating! Why do you want me to participate!"
Yun Yanhui was very sad and angry, and showed them his stature. Although men didn't want to admit that they "can't", he really felt that he might be held back.
"Hahaha, don't worry, I've already gone to see it in advance," Bai Yutang said proudly, "There are twenty teams in total, and the other teams are not as good as us. Even if we bring a chicken, we can win."
This Yun Yanhui is always stronger than a chicken, right
Zhao Yunchu: "Actually, it was Mr. Gongsun who said that I'm afraid other teams will use their calculations and need to bring a 'strategist'."
"This reason is not too bad..." Yun Yan tangled for a while, "For the victory of Kaifeng Mansion, I'd better go. Thinking about it, it is indeed dangerous. I heard that the censors are also participating this time, and the censors are not very physically strong. Like, what if they talk about it and affect us?"
And with Zhao Yunchu here, at least one can top two.
Therefore, every day Yun Yanhui takes time out to rehearse with others. In this rowing, cooperation and rhythm are very important. It is not a group of masters who can win.
Yun Yanhui also went to Jinmingchi to survey the terrain, and then went to the Censor's Terrace and other places to inquire about their practice.
It's a pity that when they saw him in the past, everyone was very welcoming, but now, when they saw him, they all drove him away, and they all believed in their hearts that he was here to spy on the military situation.
…
When the Jinming Pool opened, Shuangyi and his wife went with the little tiger.
Jinming Pool can be said to be a water garden. There is a water palace on the artificial island in the middle of the pool, where you can enjoy the scenery of Jinming Pool.
Today, when the official's family comes in person, they will watch the water battle performance, and the shore is also full of tourists, in order to see all kinds of wonderful water performances.
Shuang Yi and the others came a little late. At this time, they could already see that there was a painting boat on the pond, with a swing set up on the boat, and a Baixi artist went up and swung the swing.
There were cheers from the shore, and they soared as the Baixi artists got higher and higher on the swing.
These are Bianjing people who are familiar with routines. Shen Kuo also applauded desperately when he saw Shuang Yi, and said in his mouth: "Don't make a mistake, this is swinging on the water."
"What is a water swing?" As soon as the little tiger's voice fell, he saw the Baixi artist swing the swing almost flush with the overhead, and then let go at the highest point!
Many people who came here for the first time exclaimed, and more, more and more enthusiastic applause and cheers.
The Baixi artist threw himself on the swing, stretched his body in the air, turned several somersaults, stretched his arms like water, and splashed a big splash.
After a few breaths, a person emerged from the gradually calming water waves and waved to everyone.
It was only a momentary stagnation, and the atmosphere at the scene reached a small ***, and the tourists applauded desperately, like a tsunami.
Shen Kuo was deeply impressed by this, and he repeatedly praised: "It's really a daring art master. It's very rare to swing the swing so high. You have to dive at the top and do all kinds of actions. This is very good!"
"When Brother Yan and I came to see it for the first time, we were terrified. At that time, we all thought it was just an ordinary swing. When the artist was very high, we thought it was a show. Who knows. , he actually let go and dived, we all misunderstood that it was a mistake, he let go and fell, and it was not until he came out of the water and the audience shouted in unison that we realized that this performance turned out to be like this." Shuang Yi recalled the past and revealed that Faint smile.
"If I hadn't heard about this style of performance earlier, I'd probably have misunderstood." Shen Kuo sighed, and if he knew it, the moment he watched people let go and fly out, his heart beat faster.
Shen Kuo regained his energy, "Speaking of Brother Yan, when will they start the game?"
"It should be at noon," Shuang Yi glanced around and pointed to one place, "Look, east of the Water Palace, is that them?"
Facing the east side of the water hall, there are rows of dragon boats, which are the boats used by the dragon boats to compete for the bid.
The little tiger raised his hand in Shen Kuo's arms and shouted, "Brother!"
…
No matter how many times you watch it, the water swing can give Yunyan a sense of shock. He had seen people diving up close before, and he had also seen people swinging on extremely high swings, but the combination of the two had never been seen before, and the excitement felt exponentially increased.
At this time, Yun Yanhui suddenly turned around, "I think I heard the voice of a little tiger."
However, the scene was loud and crowded, and he couldn't find any trace of the little tiger.
"Don't worry about tigers, look at those censors, why is there a particularly tall person?" Bai Yutang pointed to the censor's desk team. There was indeed a very tall person there, and it seemed that he was at least two meters tall.
"I don't know either, they didn't reveal their lineup to me." Yun Yan glanced back, and suddenly understood, "Wait, I understand... Damn it, what a chicken thief!"
Yunyan pointed back at the pole in the water. On the pole were brocades, silver bowls and other objects. Later, they painted boats and competed for the competition. These were the things they were fighting for. Different objects represented different rankings.
"Don't you think... this standard is really high?"
Let's see, it's true!
"Competing for a bid is not a competition. To get the first place, it's not enough to be first. You have to win the lottery." Yunyan replied, "They must have bought people and raised the benchmark, so the chance of winning the ranking will also be reduced. higher."
The Kaifeng House is afraid of shame, and the Censor Station is also afraid, they also want to get a place, but unfortunately, no matter how hard they work, it seems that they can only compete for the second place at most.
