Lost Narrative Poetry

During the Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer, Canglong Qisu ascends to the middle sky in the south. The festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month and is a traditional folk festival.

Even Taiping Village is much more lively than before. A grand sacrificial activity was held. It was as lively as if it were the Chinese New Year. It was filled with a joyful festive atmosphere. Worshiping gods and ancestors is just the basics. Drinking realgar wine to avoid poisonous insects is also an important part. one.

Every household in the village hangs mugwort and calamus on the door to ward off poisonous gas, which can drive away diseases, mosquitoes and evil spirits. The special pungent aroma permeates every inch of the air.

The children were playing crazy, running around in groups. Many children were still flying paper kites. Their handicraft skills were first-rate. They simply put paper or silk on bamboo strips and other frames, and pulled them along. The long line tied to it was put directly into the sky taking advantage of the wind.

There is also dragon boat rowing——

However, Taiping Village is only close to a small river, so it has not been able to develop such a custom. Chaohu Lake is a day's journey away from here. If they did not go to the county seat, it would be difficult for the villagers to go to Chaohu Lake in advance to prepare for the dragon boat racing. It's so unrealistic.

Although there is no hope for dragon boat racing, the village also has its own customs. For example, performances such as dancing Zhongkui and beheading imps are performed every year. Moreover, the ancient traditional custom of eating rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival has also been well preserved in Taiping Village. .

"This thing...is really edible?"

In front of a rice dumpling stall in the village, Artoria's emerald green eyes contained a trace of expectation, but they were also full of doubt.

This kind of food was something she had never seen before. Although she had spent more than ten years in this world, she basically spent it in a summer resort in the Jimo Mountains and never went down the mountain.

It was not until the initial guarantee target was completed that Xia Ran received news from the previous two twins and learned that Han Lingsha had passed through Shouyang City and was heading to Taiping Village. The main plot officially began, and their group truly began to enter the world.

"Of course you can eat it. It's fragrant and delicious. There's no other store after this one. Miss, would you like to try it..."

The vendor behind the stall suddenly cheered, seeming a little aggrieved by the girl's doubts, and started selling the product very quickly.

"I'm not telling you that. Our Li family's signature is well-known in Taiping Village. Look at how big the head is, strong and full. The glutinous rice inside is fragrant, and the meat filling is big and delicious..."

I have to say that his sales skills are pretty good. Smelling the aroma of rice dumplings and listening to his vivid explanations, most people will probably feel their appetite whet their appetite, let alone a foodie.

"this……"

Saber was indeed hesitant, and subconsciously looked at the head maid on the other side who was in charge of the money. She found that the other party's expression was dull and unmoved, so she could only look at her Master and showed a trace of prayer.

Although the girl is not lacking in patience, the more than ten years of living in the mountains will not make her feel tortured. Instead, it has given her another completely different life experience - she has never experienced such a peaceful life, where she does not have to go to anything. Think about it, just do what you want to do in an ordinary way.

She was born with the destiny of becoming the Lord of Camelot, and for that day to come, she trained all the time, never relaxing for a moment. And when she was fifteen years old, after she pulled out the sword in the stone and became the king, she never rested. It's time.

Governing the kingdom, resisting foreign enemies, fighting against the nobles, and a series of accidents involving her princess, sister and even her own daughter, etc., all made her mentally and physically exhausted. Later, even the most trustworthy Knights of the Round Table deserted her. falling apart...

Until his death, King Arthur could not take a breath, and even death could not bring her true rest.

On the contrary, now, she has enjoyed a carefree and peaceful life in this world for more than ten years. Although she has not relaxed to practice her swordsmanship and magic, this is already a very relaxing and carefree rare experience.

Therefore, even the King of Knights, who has been famous for a long time and has strict requirements on himself, has inevitably recovered the nature of the girl who has been suppressed by the king's self-cultivation... At least in the past, she was absolutely not He would ask Xia Ran with this look.

"Then buy some to eat on the road. It's very cheap anyway..." Xia Ran smiled slightly and said.

Anyway, this King Arthur only has so much fun in life, and he is not a black-hearted capitalist, so black-hearted that such things cannot be discussed.

"This little Taoist priest, you are really discerning. The signboard of my Li family has always been famous. Zongzi costs a penny a piece. Children and old men are innocent..."

The hawker smiled brightly, packed the bags for several customers with quick hands and feet, and said with a smile at the same time.

"And our village has a play every year. It's on the stage next to the ancestral hall. If you want, you can go and have a look. Eat rice dumplings and watch the play at the same time. It's really the best..."

Under the influence of some kind of spiritual power, he was completely unaware of how weird the combination of the three people in front of him was and how out of place their painting style was.

The young Taoist priest who led him looked like a boy, he seemed to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was wearing a blue and white Tianshi Taoist robe, and his long black hair reached his waist.

However, the head maid still wears a maid outfit with ruffles, bow ribbons and a headscarf. Although Artoria does not wear a maid outfit, the combination of a white slim top and a blue skirt also looks very innocent and cute. Completely different clothing style from this world.

Moreover, both of them are obviously girls from foreign countries. One has silver hair and red eyes, and the other has blond hair and blue eyes. This is the biggest feature and difference. In theory, no matter where they go, they will easily attract attention.

However, Xia Ran had no intention of fishing for law enforcement now, and there was no need for it, so he still used some special methods.

Of course, it's not very profound. It just affects the cognition of pure ordinary people, allowing them to see the appearance of their group and hear the voices of their group, but they will subconsciously ignore the relatively unreasonable parts.

However, slightly special people, such as people with strong spiritual senses or people with special abilities, are not affected.

This also means that such people will still notice this strange combination for the first time and be attracted to it.

For example... Han Lingsha.

This young girl is dressed in an elegant outfit with red and yellow trimmings, a short skirt and short hair, and has a dashing appearance. She seems to be dressed up like this for ease of movement. Her shrewd eyes are quite smart, and she is standing not far away looking here. Come.

She climbed Qingluan Peak early in the morning to see the legendary Sword Immortal. Unexpectedly, the Sword Immortal was not found. Instead, she met a wild man. By some strange combination of circumstances, the two became friends. Go down the mountain.

The main reason is that although she did not find the Sword Immortal, she also found clues about the Sword Immortal. However, those things were left behind by the savage's parents. Moreover, the savage was very powerful and accepted death, so it was difficult to deceive him.

So in desperation, Han Nuxia could only find an excuse to let the other person go down the mountain with her to join the world, and try to understand the past of his parents. In this case, the goals of both parties are the same.

But I don’t know if Yun Tianhe is really scared - because he collapsed his father’s tomb, he is very afraid that after dark, his dead father will angrily come to the door and interrupt him. His own legs, so after making up his mind to go down the mountain, he ran fast along the way.

Almost at noon, the two of them had arrived at the foot of the mountain and entered the village...

Han Lingsha was amused by this and planned to stay in the village for one night. Although it was only noon, she didn't plan to rush on her way because she felt unusually sleepy.

However, this girl did not suspect anything. She just felt that she had been running around all day yesterday and did not stop to rest when passing through Shouyang City. However, she climbed the mountain early this morning, and as a result, accidents occurred frequently, and even Almost died on the mountain.

Then she ran all the way down the mountain as if reincarnated. It was so hard that she couldn't bear it. Although her skills were pretty good, in the end she was still a mortal body, so she would naturally feel tired.

She told Yuntianhe not to run around. She was going to come over to the village chief and tell her that she and she wanted to stay overnight in Taiping Village today. But when she came over, she saw such a few particularly conspicuous people, so naturally she subconsciously paid more attention. Attention started.

This is caused by the professional sensitivity of Han Nuxia. As a tomb robber who travels thousands of miles alone, she is not only always wanted by the officials in various places, but is also often looked down upon by some chivalrous people who also travel around the world. If she is not careful, she will be killed. I'm really going to jail.

"Girl, do you have anything important to do? I see that you have been looking at us, intently..."

Xia Ran reached out to take the rice dumplings that the head maid peeled off with her green jade fingers, and took a bite of the steaming rice dumplings handed over. She turned to look at the girl in red not far away and said directly. .

After being discovered, Han Lingsha was stunned for a moment, but there was no panic or embarrassment. After all, she was not so shameless. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to be around at such an age.

"Huh? Ah, this... this girl obviously only glanced at it a few times, how could she keep looking at it intently? But you actually noticed it like this. The little Taoist priest is quite clever..."

So she immediately spoke with a smile, not affected at all, and her tone was very familiar and very calm.

"But don't worry, I just feel that you little Taoist priests don't seem to be from around here, so I paid more attention... After all, I have many enemies in the world. What if you come after me? It’s not terribly bad.”

She said something like a little Taoist priest, but it didn't mean any disrespect, so it didn't make people feel very angry. She was originally such a character, generous, straightforward and informal. Even Murong Ziying in the future would never Don't treat him like a master.

However, this kind of personality is indeed very likable. If someone has a very straightforward personality, it might be easy to get closer to each other.

But this also shows that Han Lingsha doesn't think there is anything special about the little Taoist priest in front of her. She doesn't even think that he is really a Taoist priest. It doesn't matter if he is young. She is not a person who chooses people based on their age.

After all, she herself, who is just seventeen years old, seems to be younger, and the other person is the same age as her, so Miss Han will never discriminate because of her age, and she will not think that she must have gray hair because her mouth is hairless and she is not good at work. Only Grandpa Cang Cang can be a Taoist master.

The reason why she felt that this little Taoist priest was not a real Taoist priest was because there were two very beautiful girls around him who were very beautiful. How could a real Taoist master look like this?

So maybe some kid from a rich family is so idle that he thinks being a Taoist priest is very interesting, but he can't give up the beauty of his family... And if you look closely, you will find that these three people have obviously never done any work. expensive.

——Thinking about it this way, she became more and more certain of her guess.

"That's it, but don't worry, girl, I'm not here to seek revenge on you..." Xia Ran chuckled, ate the rice dumplings in his hand in two or two bites, and said leisurely, "And I thought that you suddenly If you are interested in the trail, you want to come to ask for divination and predict the future."

"Eh? Can you, a little Taoist priest, still be able to tell fortunes?" Han Lingsha seemed surprised and looked at him subconsciously, "I didn't see you walking around holding a sign. How could others know that? ?”

"Yes, why not?" The young Taoist priest casually took the banner lying next to him and raised it up. It seemed that he had just put it aside when he was eating rice dumplings, so Han Lingsha didn't see it.

Shaking his hands gently, the banner unfolded, with four big characters written on it——

"Unable to respond to requests"

"Pfft..." Han Lingsha laughed out loud, "If you don't respond to requests, how do you do business..."

"Of course it depends on fate..." Xia Ran said with a smile.

"Then do you think this girl is destined?" The girl in red suddenly became interested and asked in an airy voice, "Can you also count it for me?"

"Of course you can..." The little Taoist glanced at her, "What do you want to do?"

"Isn't this...all like that? Fortune telling, good or bad future, marriage is not necessary, I am not interested..." Han Lingsha replied casually, without seeming to take it too seriously.

"Numerology... Miss, you are a person with extremely strong yin and yang in your birth date. You were born at the yin time, and your life is filled with water. Your horoscope is a rare violation of heaven and water, which is one of the most serious evils..." Xia Ran said calmly,

"Huh? What do you mean? Please explain it more clearly!" Han Lingsha was immediately dissatisfied, and the fortune teller didn't even know how to say good things?

"To put it more clearly...girl, you are a short-lived person."

"..."

"..."

Deathly silence.

After a while, the girl in red was not surprised but overjoyed, her eyes shining: "Do you really have real information, little Taoist priest? Is this fortune telling true?"

"I only know a little bit about Taoism..." Xia Ran said modestly.
