Tonight in the capital, almost half of the people were on the move!

People flocked to the streets to watch the "Exorcism Show", various cool acrobatic performances, and various lanterns.

Although the lanterns only come into bloom on the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, people in some areas of the city have already started to enjoy the lanterns.

For example, here on the Qinhuai River.

This place has always been the most prosperous place in the capital, with silk and bamboo singing and dancing, the fragrance of makeup and powder, the scenery of the Qinhuai River, the sea of ​​lights, the culture and culture, and poetry gatherings are held almost every day.

So tonight the Qinhuai River is the liveliest and most prosperous place in the capital!

Although other places in the capital are also quite lively, they are far inferior to those along the Qinhuai River. Most people who have the conditions will come here to have fun.

Enjoy the scenery, view the lanterns, watch various acrobatic performances, taste various snacks and more!

"Wow, husband, look, they've all started!"

As soon as Zhu Xiuyuan and the others passed Wende Bridge and arrived at Chaoku Street, they saw an open space in the middle of the street, where a group of people were walking and performing.

Everyone looked around and saw that walking in the front were more than a dozen musicians, dressed in weird costumes, like wizards, playing music and drums, walking slowly along the street.

The melody of this kind of music is very strange. It is very different from what Zhu Xiuyuan has heard in the past. It has an ancient flavor and an exotic feel...

However, this strange tune, heard in the capital on New Year's Eve, on this crowded street, is so harmonious and so pleasing to the ear.

It seems like this kind of music should be played tonight.

This kind of strange music is called "Nuo music".

After the musicians, there were more than twenty dancers.

They wore masks like wizards and ghosts, and wore clothes that looked like ancient tribal times. They danced in weird ways, as if they were performing witchcraft, or dancing to a master!

This strange dance is called "Nuo dance".

Just like "Nuo music", although these "Nuo dances" are weird, they seem so suitable tonight.

It seems that this actually adds a new year flavor to New Year's Eve.

"Husband, husband, I can't see. There are many people in front of me, so I can't see you..."

"Nuo music" and "Nuo dance" were performed while walking in the middle of the street, walking slowly, but as time passed by, they would always pass this section of the street.

Once they pass, they may not be able to see it again.

So Dong Shuzhen is impatient.

She was relatively short, so she stood on tiptoes, but she still couldn't see her.

Seeing that "Nuo Music" and "Nuo Dance" had passed less than half, Dong Shuzhen became more and more anxious. She jumped up and down, but if she jumped up, she would always fall back to the ground.

"Don't worry, madam, I will carry you on my husband's back!"

Zhu Xiuyuan saw how pitiful she looked in such a hurry, so he knelt down and prepared to look at her while carrying her behind his back.

Dong Shuzhen was immediately overjoyed and climbed onto Zhu Xiuyuan's back excitedly.

Although the street was crowded with people and shoulders, to be honest, Zhu Xiuyuan had to squat down, and then Dong Shuzhen came over and climbed on his back. This operation was actually very difficult.

Because there were so many people, it was impossible to squat down.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan and the others were surrounded by many members of their own family, creating a small circle, which was much more convenient...

"Madam, are you ready? My husband is getting up."

Zhu Xiuyuan held her legs with both hands, feeling that his hands were slender and tight.

Dong Shuzhen has been practicing martial arts for many years, so she must be in good shape...well...except for that unsightly airport.

"Get ready, husband, get up quickly!"

"good!"

Zhu Xiuyuan used his back, legs and feet to work together, carrying Dong Shuzhen on his back, and slowly stood up.

Dong Shuzhen's figure is so petite. She is carried on Zhu Xiuyuan's back, but her head is almost as high as Zhu Xiuyuan's!

She stretched out her hands in front of Zhu Xiuyuan, hugged him tightly, and then leaned her head over, her chin almost resting on Zhu Xiuyuan's shoulder.

Zhu Xiuyuan felt his right ear feel warm and tight, but it was Dong Shuzhen who pressed against him.

The ears and temples rub together.

He could even feel the smoothness and warmth of Dong Shuzhen's chubby little face.

"Madam, can you see now?"

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled and looked sideways, only to see Dong Shuzhen staring blankly at the street in front of her, her eyes wide open and unblinking, her mouth slightly open, with a look of shock she had never seen before.

"I saw it, I saw it...it turns out that the 'Exorcist Opera' is like this. It is indeed very interesting..."

"Hey husband, look at their masks. They are so fun. Later we will make one to wear and play with..."

Zhu Xiuyuan's face turned slightly dark, and he twitched the corner of his mouth slightly: "That mask is so ferocious, I'm afraid it will scare people when you take it home. What's the fun in it?"

As time goes by, the "Driving Nuo Opera" slowly passes through this section of the street, getting further and further away.

However, the entire "Driving Nuo Opera" team, including musicians and dancers, only has more than thirty people in total, which is too small and not enough to watch.

So after them, there was a long series of various acrobatic performances, such as breathing fire or playing monkeys, which were so interesting that Dong Shuzhen watched them with gusto.

Moreover, from time to time she would express great emotion or scream, making Zhu Xiuyuan dumbfounded.

Unknowingly, the entire long series of "street performances" had passed by, and the empty space in the middle of the street was instantly filled with people on both sides...

"Madam, they have gone far, please let me down," Zhu Xiuyuan said, turning his head.

"Um... Husband, wait a moment." Dong Shuzhen lay on his back, her chin completely resting on his shoulder, and their faces were pressed against each other, very close to each other.

Her voice was carefree, like a cat meowing, and she seemed a little asleep... In short, she liked the feeling of being carried on her back, and she didn't want to get down yet.

"Um... Madam, my husband can hardly carry her back anymore." Zhu Xiuyuan's face turned slightly hot.

"Oh, I'll come down right now."

Dong Shuzhen jumped off Zhu Xiuyuan's back with a slight leap.

"Since your husband is tired, why not... I will carry you on my back." Dong Shuzhen suggested seriously.

"No, how is this possible..."

Zhu Xiuyuan waved his hands repeatedly. If he really lay on her back in public and let her carry him while walking, it would be weird if he didn't get watched and pointed at.

This kind of thing is unacceptable.

Next, Yan Dashan and others protected Zhu Xiuyuan and the others as they walked and walked along the Qinhuai River, admiring the scenery along the river, eating all kinds of delicious street snacks, and feeling the bustling hustle and bustle on the street... which was quite pleasant.

They walked and played all the way. In addition to eating non-stop, when they saw interesting things, several women rushed over and yelled. If they saw something interesting, they spent money to buy it.

Not long after, the hands of Yan Dashan’s brothers were no longer empty...

Suddenly, they passed by a mask stall.

The masks on this stall are very rich, including animal ones, mythological ones, cute ones, scary ones, there are so many types!

In addition, there are also the same masks worn by the dancers in the "Driving Nuo Opera" just now.

It's the kind that Dong Shuzhen clamored to make at home and wear and play with, which is a bit scary.

When Dong Shuzhen saw this mask stall, she couldn't walk, and dragged Zhu Xiuyuan to the stall.

"Hey, what do you gentlemen need? The masks at Xiaoren's stall are rich in variety and have everything you need..."

The vendor warmly welcomed Dong Shuzhen, because his eyes had been falling on the same mask of the "Exorcist Opera" dancer, so the enthusiastic vendor took it off and handed it over: "This

This young lady has really good taste. This mask is a special mask for the "Exorcism Opera"..."

Dong Shuzhen swallowed, her big eyes shining brightly, crystal clear, staring at the mask in the vendor's hand, her mouth widened involuntarily.

Subconsciously, she stretched out her hands to catch the mask.

Zhu Xiuyuan was speechless. He really didn't know why a little girl like Dong Shuzhen liked such ghostly things. Even when he saw it, he panicked.

A little girl like Dong Shuzhen should be scared to death and scream, shouldn't she?

Snapped!

Zhu Xiuyuan knocked her hand away.

"Husband?"

Dong Shuzhen looked sideways at him, feeling very aggrieved, with stars twinkling in her eyes, as if tears were welling up in her eyes.

"We don't want this, how much does that cost?"

Zhu Xiuyuan, however, ignored Dong Shuzhen's pity and pointed to another mask at the mask vendor. It looked like a tabby cat. It was very beautiful and had a cute girlish style.

This is the type of woman Dong Shuzhen’s age group should like!

"It's not expensive, only ten cents!" The vendor put away the ghost mask and took off the civet cat mask.

"Da Shan, give me the money!" Zhu Xiuyuan took the civet cat mask, handed it to Dong Shuzhen, and said with a smile: "Madam, this is the one that suits you."

"Oh, okay!" Dong Shuzhen took the mask with both hands, and a bright light flashed in her eyes.
