Ever since the incident of sending "Mo Xuefei" to Yaowang Valley, Mo Ziyu, whether out of guilt or regret, has become much more cautious in speaking to his sister "Mo Xuefei".
Xue Huan handed him the small fan and said, "I'm lending it to you temporarily. Be careful not to break it. You'll have to return it to me later."
"Okay." Moziyu held the small fan carefully, as if he was holding a rare treasure.
Well, for the ancients, the fan was indeed a treasure.
The power struggle within the Mo family lasted for nearly a month and finally passed.
At this time, the Ghost Festival arrived.
On the day of the Ghost Festival, a lantern festival will be held in Linhai City, the closest city to Lingxi Mountain. There will also be a virtual market event in the sea outside the city.
Xu, the same as "xu", means market.
Xue Huan was very interested after hearing about it. After breakfast in the morning, she went to invite Li Qingluo to go shopping together, but she refused because she didn't want to go out.
Xue Huan had no choice but to give up and fly away alone on her flying kite.
In the Mohist school, she only has Li Qingluo as a friend, and she is not willing to contact anyone else.
The Xu City event would not start until the evening, so Xue Huan took a walk around Linhai City during the day, tasted many of Linhai's special foods, and bought a lot of unique accessories.
At night, the entire Linhai City turned into a city of lights, and people went out of the city in groups.
Xue Huan went with the flow and followed the crowd, and sure enough, they finally arrived at the beach.
A huge ship was docked near the coast. It was over a hundred meters long, about thirty meters high, and had five floors. The ship was decorated with lights and it was brilliant and dazzling, reflecting the sparkling sea surface.
That huge ship is where the Xu City event is held.
There were crowds of people on the boat, and many small boats were docked on the shore, carrying passengers across the sea to the giant ship.
Xue Huan didn't need to take a boat because she had her own. She walked to a more secluded spot, took out the wooden horse, and transformed it into a dragon boat. Just as she was about to start, someone ran over and said, "Miss, can you give me a ride?"
The man who came was a young man in his early twenties with bright eyes. When he saw her looking at him, he grinned at her, revealing a row of big white teeth.
"Isn't there a boat over there? Why do you insist on taking mine?"
"Hey, it costs money to take the boat over there."
Xue Huan raised an eyebrow. So this guy is here to take a ride? And he's acting so confident.
She was angry and amused, "I want money too."
"How about this, young lady? I'll tell you a fortune, and you'll waive my boat fare?"
Another person who offered to tell her fortune?
After the previous incident with Yu Huan, Xue Huan no longer dared to underestimate the group of fortune tellers. Perhaps this young-looking man was also a hidden master?
Even if it wasn't, she wouldn't lose anything, it was just a ride for him. She hadn't intended to refuse him, but she didn't want to agree too quickly and make him feel like a sucker.
"Okay, come up."
The man bowed and thanked her, then stepped into the boat.
Xue Huan turned on the switch, and the dragon boat shot out like an arrow, stirring up a series of waves behind it.
After a while, the dragon boat arrived under the giant ship.
Xue Huan stopped the boat and looked at the man across from her, silently asking, "Where's the man who promised to tell her fortune?" After getting on the boat, the man just focused on enjoying the sea view.
The man said, "Don't be impatient, girl. Let's go up and talk."
Several elevators are lined up outside the side of the giant ship. Each elevator can accommodate about ten people. There is a lifting device on the ship, similar to a water wheel. Several people work together to turn the wheel handle. With each turn, the elevator rises a certain distance.
It only takes a dozen seconds to pull a group of people.
Xue Huan and the man got on the elevator and retracted the dragon boat.
Seeing her show this skill, the man did not show any surprise, "Girl, are you from the Mo family?"
"How do you know?"
"Linhai City is the territory of the Mo family. Who else but the Mo family can afford to use a mechanical wooden boat and carry a storage bag here?"
Xue Huan smiled, neither admitting nor denying, but she thought in her heart, "Then you guessed wrong. I am not a member of the Mo family. I am just wearing the shell of a Mo family member."
Although the elevator is not as stable as modern elevators, you can enjoy extraordinary scenery from it.
The moon is like a jade plate, lying quietly on the deep blue sky like velvet, emitting a clear and bright light. The sea below is gently surging, and the surface of the sea is dotted with stars.
Voices of people came from near and far, quiet and noisy.
When they got on the boat, the man said, "Miss Mo, it's best to release the animals tonight. Remember what I said, and you will definitely be able to survive this great crisis."
Release animals?
After saying this, the man disappeared into the crowd.
Xue Huan shook her head and laughed, then walked inside.
The first floor is lined with stalls and shops offering everything from food and drink to entertainment. The lively hawking sounds can be heard one after another, just like a bustling night market.
Lanterns, jewelry, sachets, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, utensils... and of course, more of all kinds of food.
Grilled squid, prawn noodles, clay pot fish, crab meat buns, minced meat sea cucumber, garlic abalone, fried conch, steamed white crab, deep-fried small yellow croaker...
On the stall, there was a big white crab as big as a human face, but it was very cheap, only twenty cents. When you opened the crab shell, you would see fat and creamy crab meat inside. The big chunks of crab meat were dipped in the boss’s secret sauce. You would eat it in one bite and feel full of happiness.
Xue Huan watched others eat with such relish that her foodie spirit could no longer be suppressed, nor did she need to suppress it. Although it was easy to accumulate foul qi if she ate too much, with delicious food in front of her, she didn't care about anything else. At most, she could just meditate for a few more hours.
She first went to a shop to exchange a few taels of silver for copper coins, and then took the jingling purse and ate while walking around.
There were so many delicious foods that in the end her mouth was full but her stomach was not full. Although there was still a lot she wanted to eat, she could only look at them to satisfy her eyes because her stomach was no longer full.
At this time, she missed Pei Ji especially. If he were there, he could help share her burden.
There are many things she just wants to taste, and if he is there, he can help her finish the leftover food.
As she could no longer eat the delicious food, Xue Huan focused on shopping and took a walk to help digest the food.
She came to a stall selling bracelets, which was filled with various exquisite bracelets made of pearls, corals, jade, etc. Among them, a pink pearl bracelet attracted her attention.
Pink pearls are not uncommon, but what is rare is that each pearl used in this bracelet is of the same size, round and luster, and has a tender pink color, which is very girly.
Xue Huan picked it up and asked the stall owner, "Boss, how much is this bracelet?"
"I can tell from the girl that she has good taste. If you want her, I'll give you a fair price: five cents of silver."
