Chapter 41: Sand sculpture mermaid fifteen

After speaking with Su Luoyan, Gu Lingyu led Gongsun Zhi and the little maid onto the painting boat. Hua Diewu swam to the painting boat and secretly listened to Gu Lingyu and Gongsun Zhi talking.
After listening to Hua Diewu for a while, she returned to Su Luoyan's boat. Just now, she had roughly figured out why Gongsun Zhi and Gu Lingyu were walking together.
It turned out that Gongsun Zhi accidentally stole the purse by the thief last night, and now she has nothing to wrap around Yongan City to find her relatives. However, Gongsun Zhi was lucky enough to meet Gu Lingyu, and Gu Lingyu said that he wanted to help Gongsun Zhi.
It happened that Gu Lingyu was also going to Yong'an City, so he could take Gongsun Zhi with him. There are men, women and Gu Lingyu's uncle in the painting boat, so there is no need to worry about avoiding suspicion.
Hua Diewu has an intuition that Gu Lingyu and Gongsun Zhi are likely to be together. The two seem to match well, Gu Lingyu is gentle and elegant, although it is hard to beat the beauty of the shark, but the character is good. Gongsun Zhi was a gentle-tempered girl, and she was easily led by others.
Gu Lingyu is not that kind of despicable person. Whether he is in the original or in this world, he is a person who will respect others, otherwise he won't be cheap in the end.
After thinking about the ending of Gu Lingyu and Gongsun Zhi in the original story, Hua Diewu felt that the two were good together. Just don't know if the world will develop like inside, Gongsun Zhi married Xuanyuanlie, and eventually died of illness in the small courtyard.
Hua Diewu didn't think about it for too long, because she heard Su Luoyan talking to herself.
"Fluttershy, do you want to watch the dragon boat race together?"
Hua Diewu immediately swam to Su Luoyan's side and pressed her body to the back of Su Luoyan's hand.
‘Okay, but Luoyan, I’m just a fish now, how can I go to the dragon boat race with you? ’
Su Luoyan said: "Don't worry, I will go by boat. The rivers of Qingfu City are crisscrossed and connected everywhere. You can reach the Yulinjiang River in the east of Qingfu City without using land."
‘Great, let’s go, Luoyan, I haven’t watched a dragon boat race yet. Hua Diewu happily turned twice in the water.
"There is also a special food on Duanyang Festival, called Zongzi. Have you ever eaten Xiaodie?" Su Luoyan asked.
Hua Diewu shook her head. After she shook her head, she realized that she was really funny when she shook her head like a fish, so she stopped.
‘I’ve never eaten rice dumplings, what are they? ’
As long as it is eaten, Hua Diewu is very curious and can't wait to taste it right away.
"It's a kind of croissant made of glutinous rice wrapped in ruo leaves, and it is also made with red bean paste, egg yolk, or red beans."
‘Is that delicious? ’
"It's delicious." Su Luoyan smiled.
The small zongzi is ordinary and too shabby for the big family, but for Su Luoyan, the zongzi is really delicious, because she will not eat rice that has not been cleaned with chaff, and her father will take it out at this time of the year One of the few candies in the house, it’s satisfying to eat rice dumplings in candies.
Hua Diewu wanted to eat rice dumplings, Su Luoyan smiled and said okay, and asked Hua Diewu what flavor he liked.
Hua Diewu thought for a while and said that she wanted to try any taste.
"Xiaodie, can you eat so much?" Su Luoyan was a little worried.
‘Luo Yan, it’s okay for me. Don’t think my body is so small now, I can actually eat a lot. ’
Hua Diewu thought that she had forgotten this world, Luo Yan didn't know she could eat this thing.
Su Luoyan frowned and said, "If you really can't eat it, don't force yourself, don't break it."
‘Hmm. Of course, Hua Diewu didn't feel that she could not eat it at all.
After Su Luoyan and Hua Diewu had finished speaking, they picked up the pole and started to go to Yulinjiang. Hua Diewu was right next to the boat and followed Su Luoyan all the way to Yulinjiang.
Along the way, Hua Diewu saw many men and women carrying a handful of rice dumplings or a handful of calamus with smiles on their faces, and the atmosphere on the street was very festive.
Hua Diewu looked curiously at the string of green horn-shaped food dangling, wondering what it tasted like.
After driving through several rivers, Hua Diewu and Su Luoyan finally arrived at Yulinjiang.
The dragon boat race on the Yulin River has begun. A piece of wuyang river on the bank has been cleared. There is a square table on the bank. The table is filled with roast chicken, steamed rice, rice dumplings, and various fruits. There is a candle on the left and right, and there is an incense burner in the middle with three incense burning inside.
A woman squatted in front of a square table, burning paper money to make sacrifices. The smile standing next to her was ignorant, she only knew she was drooling while looking at the food on the table.
And Hua Diewu is like those kids, wanting to taste what the tribute is, but she is just a fish now, even if she is a person, she is not embarrassed to steal the tribute from others.
Su Luoyan seemed to feel Hua Diewu's longing, she said to Hua Diewu that she would go ashore to buy hanging rice dumplings, and be back soon.
Hua Diewu watched Su Luoyan leave, feeling happy, feeling that Su Luoyan really knew herself too well.
Hua Diewu swam to the shore, her gaze never looked away from Su Luoyan. Su Luoyan didn't walk very far, and Hua Diewu had good eyesight.
Hua Diewu saw Su Luoyan walk into a small shop. The small shop seemed to be a few years old, and the tables and benches outside were all paved.
There were green calamus in the doorway of the shop, and a few bunches of rice dumplings hung. The enthusiastic proprietress crowed at the door and crowed.
Su Luoyan walked up to the proprietress Madam Ma and said something, because the distance was too far, and the sound on the shore was too noisy, so Hua Diewu couldn't quite understand what Su Luoyan said, only seeing the proprietress’ face shocked Look.
Soon Su Luoyan came back with a hanging dumpling, and she propped the boat under an old weeping willow. The branches of this old weeping willow had already fallen into the water, just to cover Su Luoyan's boat tightly.
Su Luoyan slowly untied the palm leaves that were tied with the rice dumplings, threw the dark green ruo leaves, and then threw the white rice dumplings into the water.
Hua Diewu jumped up and bit the zongzi, and chewed. As a ‘carp’, Hua Diewu’s mouth is really too small, and the zongzi is soft and sticky, and she eats very hard.
Su Luoyan looked at it and couldn't help smiling, and said, "I'll help you break it into small pieces."
Hua Diewu wronged Bala and put the zongzi on her head, and then sent it to Su Luoyan.
Su Luoyan didn't dislike the stickiness of the rice dumplings, she held it in her hand when she picked it up, bit by bit, snapped off the rice dumplings.
Hua Diewu bounced up, and Su Luoyan directly put the small pieces of rice dumplings into Hua Diewu's little fish.
After all, there is a bonus to the attributes of the mackerel and the vixen. The red carp of Hua Diewu is very cute. Even people who don’t like fish will have a good impression on her. They are reluctant to eat. They just want to raise them every day. See it ten times eight times.
Everyone else is like this, let alone Su Luoyan. In Su Luoyan's eyes, Hua Diewu might even be a stone, she thought it was the best-looking stone in the world.
Faced with the crookedness of these two people, the system said that it hadn't looked at it. Now it just wants to buy a piece of cantaloupe and gnaw it well to relieve its worries.
After eating, Hua Diewu heard cheers not far away, and the dragon boat race had already begun.
Su Luoyan knew what Hua Diewu thought in her heart, holding the boat and leaving under the weeping willow, the outside scene suddenly appeared in front of her.
The section of the river they were on was too narrow, so a few small boats were scattered on the surface of the river, and then the river surface was wide open, where is the home ground of the dragon boat race.
Dozens of dragon boats are already full of people, and one dragon boat has nearly 20 people. Both sides of these dragon boats are full of boats.
Those big and small boats are connected end to end, and some children can even hop around in these boats to play and play, some adults want to catch these bears and children and yell at them, but the children one by one, like the loach, can’t slip. You can't catch it at all.
The big men on the exquisitely carved dragon boat roared in unison, and then dozens of dragon boats broke through the water and drove forward. Cheers, drums, gongs, and orchestras were constantly heard.
Hua Diewu's eyes are full of yearning. This is the first time she has seen a large-scale human festival, which is different from their monster world.
Hua Diewu raised her head to look at Su Luoyan. Seeing the longing and regret in Su Luoyan's eyes, Hua Diewu put her head on Su Luoyan's hand that was hanging into the water.
‘Luo Yan, what's wrong? ’
Su Luoyan lowered his head and said, "I miss my dad. I'm worried about his health. I don't know how he's doing this year's Dragon Festival alone."
‘Luo Yan, don’t worry, uncle will be absolutely healthy within three months. ’
"Yeah." Su Luoyan smiled.
‘Luoyan, do you want to go and take a look? Asked Hua Diewu.
Su Luoyan shook his head, "There are too many boats over there, and our boat can't get through. I just remembered that when I was a child, even if it was the Duanyang Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, Dad had to go down to the sea to pick pearls. I sat on the coast and waited for Dad. I always think about what to do if Dad enters the sea like everyone else and never comes back. Fortunately, Dad is lucky every time."
Su Luoyan paused, and continued: "But my father still broke down because he went to sea all the year round. When I was a child, I thought about how good I would be if I were a man. I can become an official and change the pearl diver Situation. But then I discovered that I was too naive."
Hua Diewu saw a wry smile on Su Luoyan's face, and she immediately understood Su Luoyan's thoughts.
In the ancient feudal era, it is too difficult to fundamentally change certain rules. Royal princes and grandchildren, even the sons of officials, can dominate the common people, such as Liu Yuan.
Su Luoyan's way to deal with Liu Yuan was to use Xuanyuanlie's power, what a irony.
‘Luo Yan, I will protect you and stay by your side. ’
Hua Diewu said it very seriously, but she said this promise in this way only to make people feel that this is just a simple child, because she is not deeply involved in the world, she will say this.
Although he knew it was impossible, Su Luoyan couldn't help but smile.
"Xiaodie, okay." However, Su Luoyan frowned suddenly after saying this, and felt that the same scene seemed to have happened a long, long time ago.
But at that time, she couldn't remember at all.
