Chapter 115 Temple Fair
The annual temple fair is unprecedentedly lively.
The crowds were so crowded that Yan Zhiyi and Luo Xiao did not stand out even when they occasionally held hands or arms. The only thing that stood out was their looks and Yan Zhiyi's height.
His height made him stand out in the crowd. Yan Chen and Yan Yi, who were hidden in the crowd around them, were also tall, but the tallest was still Yan Zhiyi.
"Did you hear the sound coming from over there? That's the ding ding candy I gave you." Luo Xiao said with a sly smile in his eyes.
Yan Zhiyi just looked at him lovingly.
After all, he pampers his lover himself. When he let him eat the candy, he also told him to chew it before eating. He knew that his lover wanted to have fun, so even though he knew the result, he was still willing to listen to him, just to make his lover happy.
Luo Xiao felt embarrassed when he looked at her.
But soon something else caught his attention.
It was more lively on the right side directly in front, with more people gathered around, and there were also many exclamations.
Yan Zhiyi saw him looking that way, so he naturally protected him and walked over there.
The purpose of visiting a temple fair is to enjoy the excitement, so naturally one would go wherever the excitement is.
When they got closer, they found that it was a ring-tossing stall. The stall was very large, and all kinds of things were laid out on the ground for people to use the rings to toss. There were small trinkets and large ornaments, live chickens, ducks, geese, as well as turtles and rabbits, all kept in separate cages for people to buy the rings to toss.
Except for the rabbit and turtle which are small, the chickens, ducks and geese are all big enough to be served on the table. You can tell at a glance that they are adults. However, because they are adults, there are some rules for catching them. You must catch two circles before you can take them away. The others can be taken away as long as they catch one circle.
The crowd cheered because someone had caught a goose, which brought more business to the catching stall.
Luo Xiao watched others throw rings with great interest.
He had seen others tossing rings before, but he had never tried it himself because he was afraid of failing and wasting money. After all, he and his grandfather depended on each other at that time, and his grandfather didn't have much income. Later, he became like that again, and he had never even watched people tossing rings. Now he is doing it again, with his lover by his side, and like everyone else, he watches others tossing rings.
Yan Zhiyi's attention was always on Luo Xiao. The flash of sadness in his eyes made his heart wrench. He knew that his lover must have recalled the unpleasant memories from the past.
"Xiaoxiao, do you want to wear hoops?" Although Yan Zhiyi asked this, he had already taken out his wallet, took out some banknotes from it and handed them to the boss to buy hoops.
Ten yuan for thirty circles. If Luo Xiao hadn't stopped him, Yan Zhiyi might have wanted to spend all the money he handed over.
"Thirty will be enough. Let's have fun first." Luo Xiao spoke, and Yan Zhiyi naturally listened to him.
The boss handed over the change with some regret and directly ordered thirty circles for them.
"Xiaoxiao, what do you want?" Yan Zhiyi asked Luo Xiao.
"Have you tried it?" Luo Xiao asked him.
If you ask the other person so confidently what he wants, wouldn’t he be embarrassed if you fail to get the desired result?
Seeing what Luo Xiao meant, Yan Zhiyi just felt that his lover who was not hiding her true feelings in front of him was so adorable that if they were not outside, he would have wanted to kiss her hard.
Swallowing his saliva unconsciously, Yan Zhiyi said: "No, it's my first time, but I'm pretty good at darts and basketball." What he didn't say was that he was also pretty good at target shooting.
"Is that so? But it should be different from the ring tossing. You can do it as you like. I don't have a preference for any of these. I'm probably just here to make up the numbers. Good luck to you." Luo Xiao said.
"It's okay. I'll just need ten circles. Xiaoxiao, you can try on the others. You go first." Yan Zhiyi handed Luo Xiao a circle and said.
"Okay." Luo Xiao didn't argue with him. He couldn't make back his investment from these circles anyway. They were just for entertainment.
They hadn't started yet, and seeing that there weren't many people on their side, their attention was all attracted by the person next to them who had caught a little white rabbit.
Luo Xiao took the ring and threw it inside based on his feeling. His luck could be said to be good or bad. It was good because his ring hit an ornament, and the ring just circled on the ornament and fell off.
Everyone in the crowd felt sorry for him, as if they were the ones who had missed the trick.
Luo Xiao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.
Yan Zhiyi calmly helped Luo Xiao block some of the gazes, allowing Luo Xiao to play more freely.
When he was almost on the fifth circle, Luo Xiao finally got a keychain. On the keychain was a nail clipper, an ear pick and a gourd made of unknown material. The color was not good-looking, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a mess of colors. But Luo Xiao did not dislike it, after all, he got it himself.
The boss hooked the thing in Luo Xiao's bag and handed it to Luo Xiao, then put another thing back in its original place to fill the gap.
After Luo Xiao had cast fifteen circles, he got a little turtle and a key chain. He did not return empty-handed, but he did not plan to do any more.
"Brother Yan, come here." Luo Xiao said.
"No more condoms?" Yan Zhiyi asked him.
"Yes, come on." Luo Xiao nodded.
After making sure that Luo Xiao was not going to continue, Yan Zhiyi took the remaining rings and started to put them on.
He missed the first and second circles he threw out. Luo Xiao comforted him and cheered him on.
With the third ring, Yan Zhiyi directly caught a big white goose, but one ring was useless, he had to try another one, so he took aim and put the fourth ring directly on the cage of the big white goose.
The crowd exclaimed, and Luo Xiao couldn't help but jump up in excitement.
"Big white goose, big white goose! Brother Yan, you are awesome!!" Luo Xiao manually gave a thumbs up and smiled happily.
Looking at his happy lover, Yan Zhiyi was in a good mood as well.
The boss took the big white goose out of the cage and tied it up with pain and joy.
However, because he kept his word, the stall's business was booming.
As for the big white goose, it was naturally taken over by Yan Chen.
Luo Xiao felt that he had already made back too much of his investment, so he decided not to play with the remaining circles. After all, the boss had to support his family. But it would not be appropriate to just say that he didn't want to play, so Luo Xiao took the remaining circles and threw them into the stall like flowers from heaven.
Obviously, the random throwing didn't catch anything.
"Brother Yan, you are so awesome, hehe." After leaving the stall, Luo Xiao was still praising Yan Zhiyi.
"Xiaoxiao is also very good. Watch the road. There are a lot of people there. Be careful." Yan Zhiyi pulled Luo Xiao back to prevent others from squeezing him.
When they returned from the temple fair, they had already returned with a lot of goods.
As soon as Yan Chen put down the big white goose he was holding, it laid an egg as soon as it hit the ground. It was a newly laid egg with a little bit of blood.
They were all stunned.
In fact, they hadn’t figured out what to do with the goose. Now that it had laid eggs, it seemed a bit unfair for them to stew the goose in an iron pot. It was obvious that the goose had redeemed itself by taking out the eggs. . . .
"Why don't we raise it? This is what you caught, Brother Yan. It's very commemorative." Luo Xiao said.
"Okay, if Xiaoxiao likes it, then keep it." Yan Zhiyi naturally listened to Luo Xiao.
In this way, the goose and the turtle in the set were both raised.
