Sizi remembered that before the Double Ninth Festival last year, Zhou Xuan took his third brother and Lai Fu to Hongzhou to make friends with me. At that time, she was angry that her third brother became Zhou Xuan's sword slave, so she chased him, but Zhou Xuan forced her to not speak with a small gambling. She had to pay Zhou Xuan a tael of silver if she said something. Now that she thinks about it, she really makes her laugh so hard that she hurts her wounds.

Zhou Xuan came back, holding a bamboo tube in his hand, and said with a smile: "Old Fourth, guess what color of insect is this?"

Sichi was thinking about what happened last year when Zhou Xuan asked this and blurted out: "You still want to force me not to speak!"

Zhou Xuan was stunned and suddenly realized that Sinichi said that last year's incident. He thought Sinichi was angry and blamed him for sitting on her bed. He smiled and said, "What's wrong, are you angry? We are buddies and friends, so it's not uncommon to sleep with your feet--"

The Siniang said embarrassedly: "What are the master talking nonsense? Why am I angry? I mean that you lied to me last year to guess the color of "can't touch", but it turned out that there was more than one "can't touch" in the insect jar, and there were three female insects. You - the master is really tricky."

"Haha!" Zhou Xuan laughed loudly, put the bamboo tube on the small table in front of the bed, lit the oil lamp, and said with a smile: "Second, we haven't made a bet for a long time, let's take a bet again, can you guess the color of the cricket in the bamboo tube? Don't worry, there is no trick this time, there is only one cricket in the bamboo tube."

Sichi sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the bamboo tube standing on the table, and said, "I can't afford to bet. I've lost to you all, what else can I bet on you!"

Zhou Xuan's heart blew up a lot and said to himself: "The fourth brother said this ambiguous. The fourth brother is hinting at me? Tease me? No, is the fourth brother so constrained?" Just as he looked at Siqi sitting cross-legged, wearing a head with a windy head, his temples were slightly chaotic, and the ripped hole in the right bra exposed the white strip of the breast wrapped in it. Siqi's eyes were not big, and it was the kind of squinting eyes. It should be a bit charming when he smiled, but he had never seen Siqi smiled head-on. If he wanted to smile, he would quickly turn his head and smile at no one. Also, Siqi must have no time to trim his eyebrows these days. The uneven eyebrows gradually grew and became much more delicate. Other women clamped their eyebrows to make them look good, but the fourth brother deliberately clamped their eyes ugly. Hehe, this is really unique.

Sichi saw Zhou Xuan looking at her, and his wheat-colored cheeks were slightly flushed. He patted the bamboo couch with his hand and said angrily: "What are you looking at random? Look at what you look like, barbarian!"

Zhou Xuan laughed in his heart. The fourth brother became more and more feminine and would become angry. He said, "Speak quietly, don't let the Shanha people hear it. Shanha people don't like to listen to the word "manliao" - this way, for your injury, I will give in to you. I don't want your bet this time. If you guess the color of the cricket, you can ask me to do something for you. If you don't guess it, you don't have to pay anything."

The Sizi asked: "The master keeps his word? There is no conspiracy?"

Zhou Xuanxue Lin Hanyun rolled his eyes like that: "When did I never keep my word? I am a great official who speaks like a mountain."

Sichi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll guess, if you guess something you promised me-"

Zhou Xuan left a hand and said, "Okay, I promise to do something for you, please show your bet."

The Sichi didn't pay attention to the words "for you" in Zhou Xuan's speech, and said, "If I guess, my master will promise to let me leave at any time."

Zhou Xuan exaggeratedly: "No, No, you have to bet too hard, you are robbing!"

Sichi curled his lips and said, "I knew you wouldn't agree, and the master was accustomed to cheating."

Zhou Xuan walked to the window without saying a word, looked at the bright moon that had just risen in the mountains to the east, and asked in a very lonely tone: "Fourth brother, we have known each other for a year and have always been very happy. Do you just want to leave?"

The first time Sichi was paying attention to a man's back, but it did not achieve the effect that Zhou Xuan expected. If Zhou Xuan was still wearing a Tang shirt and a long robe, it might be able to tug the insensitive heartstrings of Sichi. However, the Shanha man's clothing that Zhou Xuan wore now was wearing was wearing a blue short jacket with white edges and green trousers. This seemed very funny to Sichi, who was used to Zhou Xuan's elegant appearance, and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "I'm not going to leave now, I just said I could leave one day."

Zhou Xuan looked at his costume, which was a little small, and he looked like a big silly man wearing it. He felt quite frustrated, with his first-class acting skills, but the costume props couldn't keep up! He walked back and said, "I don't understand, why are you going to leave when you are a woman? Can't I pretend to see nothing?"

Sichi remembered Zhou Xuan's injury to her, and lowered his head and said, "I actually saw it because I didn't see it."

Zhou Xuan said: "It's nothing if you see it. Anyway, you just think you are a man and your chest muscles are very strong. Have you practiced it?"

"You--" Sichi stared at Zhou Xuan, and was about to be angry.

Zhou Xuan quickly said, "Let's not talk about it, guess the insect color, blue, yellow, red, black, white, which color? If you guess correctly, you can ask me to do something for you. Of course, you can't go too far, and it's up to the best of your ability."

Sichi's voice elongated, "I know, it's hard to beat you a little, you just go in and out--Okay, I'll guess--"

At this time, the crickets in the bamboo tube suddenly chirped several times, and the bamboo tube resonated and "buzzed" sounded softly.

Zhou Xuan made a helpless expression and said, "This cricket has informed me, I will lose."

Sichi's mouth curled up, a smile flashed across his face, and he said, "I guess this is a black-backed worm."

Zhou Xuan smiled slightly and poured the cricket in the bamboo tube onto the table, but it was a yellow-backed worm.

Sichi said depressedly: "I lost, I am so dizzy and tinnitus. I can't even tell the sounds of the yellow-backed worms and the black-backed worms. Alas!"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Look at me to make a trick, turning the yellow-backed worm into a black-backed worm." As he said that, he poured out a few grass leaves from the bamboo tube and wiped the back of the cricket with the grass leaves a few times.

Siqi's eyes suddenly widened: "Ah, it's a black-backed worm, it turns out that it's yellow mud on its back!"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "It rained early in the morning and there were soft mud everywhere. Wouldn't crickets get stuck in mud?"

The Sizi said, "Fortunately I didn't make a bet, otherwise this insect would be black or yellow, and no matter how you guess, I will lose."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "It's good to understand, it's good to understand, haha, you guessed it right, I lost this time, you can ask me to do something for you-" His eyes were staring at the bulging chest under the blue shirt of Sichi, and he wanted to help her treat the inward inclination of the beetle. What's the disease? It's impossible to cure it. You have to be healthy!

Sichi thought for a while and said, "I want to ask my master to help me catch a worm of lieutenant general or above, which is better than the 'intangible' of last year."

Zhou Xuan agreed: "Okay, I can't catch this year and catch next year, and I can't catch next year. I have a suggestion-"

"What proposal?" Siqi Lisheng was alert. She knew that Zhou Xuan would make any proposals every time he bet, and it was probably a trick.

Zhou Xuan said: "If I catch a fierce insect of the lieutenant general or above and win the title in the five countries of the Xingwangfu war, then you have to promise me one thing, don't ask what you have, anyway, I won't harm you."

"What promises you? Let's talk about it first."

"I won't say it, I just ask if you dare to gamble?"

The Sizi said: "What should I do if you haven't won the championship yet?"

Zhou Xuan laughed: "The fourth brother, you are quite good. OK. If you win the championship, you will agree to me. If you don't win the championship, I will agree to you the same thing. That is, if I win, I will treat you the same way. Is this fair?"

When talking about gambling and gambling insects, the four scammers felt excited. The battle between the five countries was really full of fierce insects, and said, "Okay, it's a matter of determination! But, the master really wants to go to Xingwang Mansion?"

Zhou Xuan said: "According to the emperor's order, of course we have to go. Do you want to regret not going such a fierce battle of insects!"

The Sizi said: "Now the Prince of Southern Han still doesn't know whether he lives or not. If he dies, Liu Jixing will not be in the mood to hold the Five Kingdoms insect war!"

Zhou Xuan said: "Liu Shousu will not die, even if he is caught by the Wu Yue people, he will not kill him. Moreover, Chen Yanshou is so traitorous that he should be able to escape with Liu Shousu. I wanted to talk to the leader of Pan in the afternoon, but I didn't see her. I probably went to Changxi County to check the authenticity of my identity. I will know soon if Prince Xuezhu was arrested."

The Sizi said, "The master really wants to give Princess Qingle to that snow pig? I think the master also likes Princess Qingle."

Zhou Xuan grinned, knowing that he was painting a portrait with Princess Qingle on the boat, and the dance was not hidden from the veteran assassin, and said, "When I find Liu Shousu and let him bet a game with me, Liu Shousu is also a cuckold. If I bet on cuckling, he will lose the princess to me - no, it is not lost to me, it is to let me take the princess back to Jinling intact."

The Sichai said in his heart: "The right words are wrong, and the desire to cover up the truth." He nodded and said: "Well, you win everything, and now you still have to win the princess of others--" Suddenly remembered something, and lowered his head and smiled constantly.

Zhou Xuan said: "What are you laughing at? What's so funny about this? Losing your wife by gambling - there are many people who lose their wives and children."

The Siniang reluctantly stopped laughing and said, "I'm not laughing at you for winning against the Princess of the Southern Han, but I'm laughing at the Princess of the Southern Han seems to be quite affectionate with the master. Maybe the Prince of the Southern Han and the Princess of the Southern Han will return to Jinling with the master."

"Wow, I'll stop talking, I'm not allowed to say anything more!" Zhou Xuan stuck his throat and vomited.

The four fools laughed out loud.

The voice of the eldest son of the wind mountain came from the courtyard: "Master Zhou--Master Zhou--"

Zhou Xuanying said: "Here."

The chief of the Panshan held a torch in his hand, and the flames were shining. He bowed to Zhou Xuan outside the door and said, "Sir Zhou, the bonfire song meeting is about to begin. My family leader invites the adults to attend, and asks his subordinates to go together."

The four cynic said: "I won't go."

Zhou Xuan said: "Well, IV, please have a good rest. Let this black-backed worm accompany you. It's good to listen to the croaking of insects."

The four cynicals said contemptuously: "A black-backed worm!"

Zhou Xuan walked out and said, "Don't underestimate the black-backed worm. Isn't it just a black-backed worm?"

The four cynics said, "It is hard to pick one of the alien insects like 'can't touch'." Seeing Zhou Xuan crossing the threshold, she couldn't follow her to protect her, and she felt a little guilty and said, "Master, be careful."

Zhou Xuan also looked back and smiled: "It's okay, they are all friends in Shanha. You should adjust your breathing and practice, good early, I need you, I can't live without you."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Xuan quickly followed the Changshanchang and left. He spoke too sensational and couldn't even bear it. I wonder how the four ignorant felt?

Doctor Fang is nearly fifty years old and is still strong. He is also wearing Shanha men's clothes and is very enthusiastic about singing at the bonfire. Doctor Fang's real interest should be those beautiful and innocent Shanha girls.

Shanha, Fujian Province, is monogamous, but it is said that for such a bonfire party, as long as both men and women agree, they can avoid everyone and find a secluded place to love each other, leaving each other at dawn, which has a very good smell of a circle of crosses overnight.

Xu Meijian didn't want to go, but his beautiful wife Meizhi said he wanted to go and see. Xu Meijian knew that Meizhi was very likely to see a young and handsome man in Shanha. Shanha people retained ancient customs and women were respectful and didn't care about these things. Xu Meijian was a Han Chinese, and he cared very much. Since he killed brown sugar with his own hands, Xu Meijian's masculinity has increased and he will never allow his wife to have other men. But Xu Meijian loves his wife very much and cannot bear to be too fond of plum blossoms, so he agreed to go with Meizhi.

The loyal and honest Lihu followed Zhou Xuan with the golden retriever Lulu.

A group of five people came from the back door of the Zhuzhai village under the leadership of the long mountain. This was a valley with a gentle slope and trees were cleared and sparse without the mixed bushes. Camellia, pine leaves and chrysanthemums, cymbals, olive osmanthus, and okra... Under the hazy moonlight, the flowers and trees sway and the fragrance of flowers floated.

People pass by the flowers and trees, and even their hair and clothes are fragrant.

Three bonfires were burning in a large open space in a shape of a font. Nearly a hundred young men and women in Shanha were already singing and dancing. On August 13th, the bright moon was about to be full. On such a night, you can dance and sing.

As soon as Zhou Xuan and others arrived, a beautiful mountain girl offered sour and sweet fruit wine. The mountain Chang said happily: "It has been raining for several days in a row. I was worried that it would not clear tonight. When I saw the moon, I didn't expect the dark clouds to be dispersed with the arrival of the distinguished guests. This is the blessing of the Snake King, and Lord Zhou is the messenger of the Snake King."

Zhou Xuan looked at the dancing crowd and couldn't help but want to jump. He was active by nature and could dance fierce street dance, but he couldn't dance in this mud. Moreover, street dance seemed too much like juggling to people of this era, which was inconsistent with his current identity.

The chief of the panshan handed five wood-carved masks to Zhou Xuan and the other two. The wood-carved mask was strangely faced and fanged, ferocious and terrifying. It was mainly red, blue, black and white, and the colors were extremely bright.

The chief of Panshan handed one of the masks to Zhou Xuan and said, "Master Zhou, before the Mid-Autumn Festival worship, I will use the Nuo dance to exorcise evil spirits and pray for blessings. Please wear this mask. Our Xiapu Mountain Ha needs Master Zhou's blessing."

Zhou Xuan smiled and took the wood-carved mask and asked, "Where is the leader of the Pan family?"

The chief of the panshan pointing to the dance crowd and said, "The chief of the clan is in this crowd, please go and find it yourself."

Zhou Xuanxin said: "Interesting, interesting, masquerade party!"

Lihu had some trouble when wearing a mask because the eldest son of Panshan said that the golden retriever Lulu could not get close to the Nuo Wu crowd, but Lulu and Lihu were inseparable.

Zhou Xuan asked Lihu to watch the fun next to him. He, the imperial physician Fang, Xu Meijian and his wife walked towards the bonfire wearing hideous masks.

The drum sound of "dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong" is like rain, the sharp and clear panflute sound is like flowing water, and there are several musical sounds that Zhou Xuan cannot tell which instrument is played. It should be a unique instrument of Shanha people.

Zhou Xuan stretched his arms out like an eagle spreading his wings, and his feet rose and fell rapidly, with a very small amplitude. He had an Irish tap dance, and he was traveling among the dance crowd while dancing, looking for the beautiful Xiapu Shanha female leader.

There were about 40 or 50 mountain women dancing by the three bonfires. They were all slim and light in dancing. They didn’t see any fat or obese. This should be related to life in the mountains. They came and went in the mountains and worked hard, and their figures were naturally slim.

Zhou Xuan has a beautiful woman who never forgets her. As long as the beautiful matriarch is among the dance crowd, even if she wears a mask, Zhou Xuan will definitely recognize her. Don’t look at Zhou Xuan’s eyes a little myopic, and it’s not vague to look at the beauty. This is the artist’s keen intuition to discover beauty!

The beautiful matriarch had a taller figure than ordinary Shanha women. Shanha people were generally shorter, men were usually less than 1.65 meters, and women were rarely more than 1.6 meters, but the matriarch of the beauty was more than 1.6 meters, which was about the same as a sewing needle. It looked 1.6 meters, with long legs and looked taller.

As they jumped, the imperial physician and Xu Mei who were following him had jumped to somewhere. Zhou Xuansan jumped all over the bonfire, but he didn't see the beautiful figure of the female leader.

Suddenly, a soprano-like voice sang: "The sun sets and the valley is yellow. I saw the prince coming into the village. My sister has nothing to entertain. I will come and play the same song tonight."

As the singing sounded, the drums disappeared immediately, and only the panflute was still playing happily.
To be continued...
