"Yeah." Of course it's important.
The tourist was an experienced person and immediately understood. He then smiled and said, "Is it my friend's wife? Or my sweetheart?"
Hearing this question, Lou Yunchun retracted his gaze and said to Youren seriously, "All of them."
The tourist was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Okay, okay."
Lou Yunchun's ears turned red.
"Then let me be the matchmaker today and help a pair of lovers come together." The tourist looked around and found an acquaintance. He asked Lou Yunchun to wait here for a while, and then went up to chat with the acquaintance.
While the two were talking, they would glance at Lou Yunchun from time to time.
After hearing the whole story, the acquaintance gave Lou Yunchun a meaningful smile, then nodded and agreed to the tourist's request.
The tourist returned to Lou Yunchun and said, "This old man rents rafts on the river. He had already rented out all the rafts he had just launched. When he heard you were going to meet your sweetheart, he agreed to bring his new bamboo raft and personally take you there."
Lou Yunchun bowed to the visitor and said, "Thank you for your help, Senior. May I know your name and where you are? When I find... my wife, I will come to thank you handsomely."
The tourist waved his hand, then stroked his beard and smiled, "No need to thank me, it's a good deed to help a pair of lovers get together."
Lou Yunchun's face was flushed by his smile, and he bowed, "Junior Lou Yunchun, thank you very much, senior."
"Hey, why are you so polite?" The tourist helped Lou Yunchun up and thought for a moment. Why did this name sound familiar?
Suddenly, there was a deafening sound of gongs and drums from the altar, and the people were in an uproar. The two men looked up and saw that the sacrifice had begun.
Xu Jiang and Liu Mei were squeezed to and fro by the people rushing towards the altar. They hugged each other tightly and finally managed to stand. They breathed a sigh of relief and looked around. Shan Bo and the guards had been squeezed away to who knows where.
The boats on the river also came closer, handed the offerings to familiar people, and passed them to the altar.
The people on the shore threw some cooked food into the river and then started beating gongs and drums.
Throwing cooked food was also a new regulation of the government. The sacrificial livestock had to be cooked to prevent them from flowing into the downstream and silting up, causing plague.
Liu Mei said loudly to Xu Jiang, "What a lively scene!"
Xu Jiang laughed heartily, "How does it compare to the capital?"
Liu Mei also smiled happily, "I like it here!"
The Autumn Festival sacrifice in the capital was also very grand. In addition to the sage leading the ministers to worship, the people in the city would also set up shrines at home to worship, and cook festival rice, festival cakes, and festival wine to entertain relatives and friends.
The city also hosts temple fairs and night markets, which, like all major festivals, are extremely lively.
Compared to this place, it has more fun, but lacks simplicity and sincerity.
Liu Mei looked at the barbarians who were worshipping around her and felt that although the customs of the barbarians were rough, they were more reverent towards gods and land, and were more pious in their worship.
After the sacrifice was completed, the local witch led the people to kneel three times and bow three times, and finally announced: "The sacrifice is over——"
The people bowed again and again, then turned around, some boarding the boats and some crossing the bridge. Xu Jiang and Liu Mei didn't dare run around, let alone try to push, for fear of being pushed into the river.
Suddenly, Liu Mei heard a few shouts and looked in the direction of the sound. It turned out that it was Shan Bo waving at them.
"It's Shan Bo." She pulled Xu Jiang and was about to meet Shan Bo and others.
Xu Jiang hurriedly stopped him, "Don't panic, wait until the people disperse a little, then we can go over. Be careful not to get squeezed out."
But it was too late. Liu Mei was accidentally swept by the crowd towards the wooden bridge.
Seeing that she was about to come back to look for him again, Xu Jiang waved at her and shouted, "Be careful, don't fall! Go to the shore and wait for me first. I will come to meet you later."
Liu Mei was pushed to the side of Shan Bo and was caught by two guards, finally able to stand still.
Xu Jiang saw a few people standing by the bridge, and saw more people rushing towards them. She hurriedly shouted, "Don't stand there, or you'll be pushed into the water. Go to the shore and wait for me!"
When a few people heard Xu Jiang's shouts and the complaints of people passing by, they had no choice but to cross the wooden bridge and wait for her on the shore.
"Ajiang, you have to be careful!" Liu Mei shouted worriedly.
Xu Jiang smiled and waved at her, telling her not to worry.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering, Xu Jiang felt it was not appropriate to stand there any longer, so he moved to a less crowded place by the water, intending to wait until most people had left before going ashore.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, a bamboo raft fell into the water.
This raft was indeed newly made, even the color of the bamboo had not faded yet.
Lou Yunchun bowed to the tourists, and then stood on the bamboo raft with the help of the raftsman.
"Sir, can you swim?" asked the raftsman.
"meeting."
"That's good." Even if he fell into the water, he didn't panic. "Then, sir, please stand firm! Take the oar--!"
With a call, the bamboo raft floated into the river.
Lou Yunchun swayed slightly, quickly stabilized his body, and then searched among the crowd in Jiangzhu for the figure he was thinking about.
Seeing the crowd gradually disperse, Xu Jiang slowly moved towards the wooden bridge. Unexpectedly, a cry of surprise was suddenly heard from the bridge, followed by the sound of "splash" and "splash" of someone falling into the water.
It turned out that the wooden bridge was trampled, causing the boat underneath to capsize. Many people fell into the river and were quickly swept downstream.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and the crowd retreated. Xu Jiang was pushed back and could not avoid it in time and was pushed to the ground.
not good!
She was horrified and moved to an open space nearby, but her legs and hands had been stepped on several times.
Seeing that more and more people came and the situation became more chaotic, she tried to find an opportunity to stand up, but was always pushed down by those who came after her, and several people stepped over her.
"Xu Jiang!" A voice appeared not far away, and then several people pushed through the crowd and helped her up.
