Chapter 164, I like eating pigs
After the group of young men in brocade clothes left, Xiao Yeyang's expression never improved. Daohua made jokes and joking remarks several times, but failed to make him smile.
If this gentleman is unhappy, it would be strange if others can enjoy the lanterns.
Everyone stood silently in front of the fence, not speaking or communicating, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant.
It was the first time for the Li siblings to witness such a scene, and they were so nervous that they dared not even breathe.
Seeing this, Daohua felt helpless. It would be such a shame if the Lantern Festival was wasted like this.
"Wow, that lantern is so beautiful! What kind of flower is that? I don't think I've ever seen it before!"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, who was trying to make conversation, and followed her finger. He said unhappily, "Where did you come from, you wild bastard? You haven't even seen an Epiphyllum lantern?"
Daohua's mouth twitched at Xiao Yeyang's sharp tongue.
Forget it, considering that he is in a bad mood, she will not bother with him for now.
"I've never grown this flower before, so it's normal that I don't recognize it!"
Xiao Yeyang snorted and said nothing.
Seeing that he was silent again, Daohua felt a little tired. She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "The float is coming soon. Didn't you just say that as soon as the float arrives at the foot of Chonglou, everyone should release the lanterns together?"
"I think it's interesting to light lanterns and pray for blessings and make wishes. Unfortunately, I don't have any lanterns. How about you accompany me to buy one? Let's buy the Epiphyllum lantern. I think it's very beautiful."
Xiao Yeyang turned his head to look at Daohua. Seeing her eyes sparkling as she looked at him with anticipation, his heart softened: "You are the one who causes the most trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Daohua smiled with her eyes and eyebrows curved.
Seeing the bright smile on her face, Xiao Yeyang felt much better, and his tense face softened. "Let's go, go and come back quickly, so as not to miss the time to release the lanterns."
Daohua immediately looked at everyone else: "Does anyone have a lantern? If not, it's a good opportunity to go down and buy one."
Dong Yuanxuan smiled and took over the conversation: "Okay, although I prepared lanterns, I am not satisfied with them. It's just right to see if there are any other ones you like."
So, a group of people went downstairs in a hurry.
The crowd didn't walk far before picking out lanterns on both sides of the Chong Building.
"Hey, there's a mask here!"
Daohua casually picked up a pink pig head mask and placed it in front of her face, shaking it in front of Xiao Yeyang's eyes: "How about it, isn't it cute?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at the pig head and his expression changed: "Do you like pigs?"
Daohua put down the mask and shook her head: "I like eating pigs."
Xiao Yeyang's face froze: "."
Behind him, Defu, who was very nervous a moment ago, suddenly started shaking his shoulders.
Dong Yuanxuan looked over and found that Defu was trying to hold back his laughter. He immediately asked with a smile, "Defu, what are you so happy about?"
Defu saw Xiao Yeyang looking at him dangerously, and his face suddenly straightened: "Master Dong, you must have seen it wrong. I just had a shoulder cramp."
He would never tell others that the man in his family was born in the year of the pig.
Daohua glanced at them oddly, then continued looking through the masks on the stall. After searching for a while, she picked up the pig-head mask and said to the two Li sisters, "Cousins, let's buy a mask. It's fun to wear it."
Li Zixin immediately smiled and said, "Okay, when we get home later, we'll put on the masks and let our parents guess who we are."
Upon hearing this, Yan Wenxiu and the Li brothers looked at each other speechlessly.
Please, the three of them are dressed differently and have different heights. Even if they wear masks, you can still recognize who is who, okay?
However, seeing that the three sisters were so interested, they didn't say much.
Seeing Daohua holding the pig head mask in her hand again, Xiao Yeyang curled his lips and asked nonchalantly, "Most of the cakes you made before were in the shape of pig heads. Why, do you love pigs so much?"
Without hesitation, Rice Flower said, "I think the pig is the happiest of the twelve zodiac animals. It eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, and has no worries. Even though it will eventually become a meal, it still enjoys itself."
"Besides, don't you think pork is delicious? It can be made into all kinds of dishes, and it's easy to pair with other dishes. It's also cheap and everyone can afford it. It's so popular!"
Xiao Yeyang's cheek twitched violently.
Forget it, he shouldn't have asked this guy, as two out of three sentences he spoke about were about food.
After strolling around for a while, everyone felt much better and the atmosphere became more lively. Regardless of whether they wanted one or not, everyone got a lantern.
During the period, we came across a store holding a lantern riddle guessing game, and everyone participated in it with great interest.
Daohua looked at a few riddles, shrank her neck, and quickly retreated to the back.
She was not as smart or knowledgeable as other time-traveling girls, who could shine at guessing riddles. She couldn't guess any of the riddles in front of her.
Daohua was watching his elder brother sweeping through the shop's lantern riddles with great interest when suddenly, he caught sight of Xiao Yeyang out of the corner of his eye.
Why did this guy just leave without saying anything?
Without thinking too much, Daohua quickly followed.
"Hey, what are you doing? Everyone is still guessing riddles!"
When Xiao Yeyang turned around, he saw Daohua pulling at his sleeve, his face full of curiosity. He immediately raised his eyebrows: "I'm going to do something important. Do you dare to follow me?"
Daohua: "Why wouldn't I be afraid?"
"Let's go!"
Xiao Yeyang tilted his head and quickly turned into another street with Daohua.
Daohua saw Defu following her, and she wasn't too worried. She just felt it would be awkward not to tell the others: "Should we tell Brother Dong and the others?"
Xiao Yeyang snorted coldly: "If we tell them, nothing will get done."
Hearing this, Daohua became even more curious: "What's going on?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud shouting coming from the street ahead.
"Someone's being beaten, someone's being beaten!"
People around were running forward.
Xiao Yeyang grabbed Daohua's wrist and said, "Hold on tight to me, don't lose me!"
Daohua nodded, and then was pulled over by Xiao Yeyang.
It's them!
That group of young men in brocade clothes who wanted to go up to Chonglou but were driven away!
At this moment, those people were beating a middle-aged vendor.
The middle-aged vendor was knocked to the ground and couldn't even beg for mercy.
Daohua's brows immediately frowned, and she looked at Xiao Yeyang beside her. Sure enough, this guy was coming for these people, and her face darkened again.
"Stop fighting! Someone might get killed!"
One of the other party shouted.
Only then did the others stop punching and kicking.
"Humph, you blind thing, it would be better if you died!"
The young man in brocade clothes who was leading the group kicked the middle-aged merchant who had already stopped moving again, then left with a sneer.
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing that Xiao Yeyang seemed to want to catch up, Daohua quickly grabbed him and said without waiting for him to say anything, "I know those people are annoying, but there are too many of them. There are only three of us. The gap between us and the enemy is too big. It would be unwise to rush forward now."
"Well, let's go back and find Brother Dong and the others, call them over, and then we'll have a showdown with them!"
Seeing that Daohua didn't intend to stop him, Xiao Yeyang's expression softened a little: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I won't confront them head-on. I'm following them now just to see where they are staying."
Daohua was suspicious, holding onto her sleeve tightly, not letting go: "Really?"
Xiao Yeyang was speechless: "It's more real than real gold. Do you think I'm a fool?"
Only then did Daohua stop talking.
The three of them hurriedly followed.
When passing by a beaten vendor, Daohua saw that no one dared to step forward to rescue him, so she pulled Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, who looked reluctant. Although he didn't want to pay any more attention to her, he turned around and gestured to Defu.
Defu immediately walked towards the merchant next to him with a smile. He didn't know what he said to the merchant, but soon, someone carried the merchant to a nearby clinic.
Seeing this, Daohua immediately smiled brightly.
