Chapter 320: Ten Thousand Eyes Luo

"This is a poem by Fan Chengda of the previous dynasty!" Yuan Qing blurted out, and then suddenly realized, "So this is what the Jian Luo Wan Yan Lantern described in the poem looks like!"

He stared at the lantern in Song Ying's hand. When he read poems in the past, he wondered what kind of exquisite craftsmanship it must have that would allow a generation of famous officials to write poem after poem to praise it.

"Yes, yes, it's Fan Chengda!" The uncle was even more excited. "It is said that he particularly likes this kind of lantern with thousands of eyes, and he wrote several poems to praise it."

Seeing that he understood it very well, Song Ying asked, "So why is this lamp called Wanyan Luo?"

"The so-called ten thousand eyes refer to the holes on it. Generally, there are eight or nine thousand of them, so it is called ten thousand eyes. I heard that the most there are is more than 20,000!"

"Hole?" Song Ying brought the lantern closer and looked at it carefully. "I don't see any hole on it?"

"This is the subtlety of this lamp. The hole is very small, which can ensure that the candle flame inside will not go out, and can also provide maximum wind protection!"

Song Ying pulled at the outer silk cloth and finally saw an extremely tiny hole. "Oh my god, there really is a hole, it's so small!"

Luo Yanxing and others in the back heard it and wanted to come over to see, but the uncle stopped them, "You can't run around now, the team will be in chaos."

They had no choice but to suppress their curiosity for the time being. The uncle said to Song Ying, "Little girl, can you let me take a good look at your lamp?"

Luo Yanxing and others in the back: "..."

"Of course." Song Ying handed over the lantern.

The uncle took it and looked at it lovingly. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. "Little girl, how about you sell this lamp to me?"

"No, no, no!" Song Ying refused outright. Fearing that he would not return it to her, she reached out and took it.

"I can offer a high price..."

Before he could finish, Song Ying said again: "I won't sell it for a thousand gold coins!"

The uncle felt very regretful and could only look at the lamp in her hand as he walked, because Song Ying was worried that he would not return it and was unwilling to lend it to him.

The parade went from Dongjia to Beijie. When passing Xijie, Song Ying spotted Doctor Ma who had come out to watch the fun. He waved to him happily, "Uncle Master! Uncle Master!"

Doctor Ma's eyes widened in disbelief: "How did you get into the performance team?"

Immediately, he saw Song Yuan and Lin Wenxuan next to Song Ying. Looking again, they were all in the team. Doctor Ma was stunned.

The neighbors nearby also saw Song Ying and Lin Wenxuan. They were surprised that they had mixed into the team, and then they said to Doctor Ma with emotion: "Doctor Xiao Lin has been in the clinic for several years, and this is the first time I see him out playing.

Well, while you are still young, you can play more. When you grow older, you won’t be able to play like this.”

Doctor Ma agreed very much. Because of the Lin family's past, Wenxuan had few playmates in the capital. When he came to Qingshui County, he was unfamiliar with the place and stayed in the clinic all day. The people he met on a daily basis were all patients who came to see a doctor. He had no friends to play with.

At this moment, he felt that his senior sister had made the right decision to accept Song Ying as her apprentice. Wenxuan had a great time in his youth by being introduced to her fellow townsmen.

Lin Wenxuan is usually very steady, and when he was caught by the neighbors being so unsteady, he felt a little embarrassed. Only after hearing what they said next did his face turn less red, and he left the team without being embarrassed.

As they had already circled most of the city and arrived at West Street where the population was most densely populated, many people were preparing to go home. The leader in front simply decided to rest on the spot and only let the dragon and lion dancers perform for everyone.

At this time, Song Ying and others who were holding lanterns didn't care about the formation and ran to the front to watch the performance up close.

The first performance was the dragon dance. The performers had superb skills and good coordination. As the performers danced, the red dragon circled in the clouds and then dived into the sea to play in the water, which made everyone applaud.

After watching for a while, Song Tian felt that it was not very interesting. He was more interested in the lion dance. After all, they had been following behind the two lions and watching them all the way.

Seeing four people resting and waiting nearby, with the prop lion placed nearby, he ran forward and said, "Uncle, can we try the lion dance?"

The people performing the lion dance knew that they had been following the parade all the way and had provided a very unique Su lantern. They were very friendly to Song Tian and agreed to his request.

"Okay, but be careful not to break it."

Song Tian happily agreed and called Tian Hu and Luo Erzhu. He went in and learned the most basic steps and how to control the lion head under the guidance of the lion head performer.

Luo Erzhu and Tian Hu fought for it, and finally Luo Erzhu ran faster and grabbed the lion's tail.

The two men got into the lion and tried to dance. The lion's head in front was very lively and moved around, but the lion's tail in the back did not move at all.

The uncle who played the lion's tail frowned and shouted, "Lion's tail, move, follow the lion's head, don't just stand there!"

With his vision blocked by the cloth, Luo Erzhu couldn't see what Song Tian was doing at all. When he heard the uncle's shouting, he moved around like a headless fly.

The uncle frowned even more tightly, "Shiwei! Shiwei! Stop moving! It looks like your head and body have been separated!"

When Luo Erzhu heard this, he became even more confused. Should he move or not?

After thinking about it, he stood there hesitantly and began to twist his body.

Song Ying and others were watching the dragon dance attentively. When they heard the uncle's call, they looked over and found a lion. Its head was staring and roaring in a mighty manner, while its tail was shaking its buttocks happily.

They couldn't help laughing and couldn't straighten their backs. Even the uncle who had been frowning and instructing Luo Erzhu on how to do the lion tail couldn't help laughing.

The people nearby who noticed this also laughed out loud.

Tian Hu couldn't bear to watch, so he raised his foot and kicked the lion's butt, "Luo Erzhu, why are you twisting your butt? If you can't do it, don't play!"

"Hey, you slug, you dare to kick a lion's ass! Lion's head! Come on, eat him!"

Song Tian didn't know what Luo Erzhu had done behind his back to undermine his prestige. Upon hearing this, he controlled the lion's head to open its big mouth and bite Tian Hu. Tian Hu screamed and ran around: "Oh my god, the lion is eating people..."

The two original performers of this lion: "..."

How could they let these two play the lion dance like this?

With their lead, Song Ying and the other girls went to try the river clam again and had a lot of fun. By the time they parted with the team and returned to the clinic, it was almost midnight.

The ash on the charcoal basin was removed, and the charcoal fire burned vigorously again, and the temperature in the room gradually rose.

The chill in their bodies was driven away, and everyone suddenly became drowsy. Luo Yanxing suggested, "We are so sleepy. Eat some oranges to wake us up."
