Chapter eight hundred and seventeen
Shu felt that it was really wise to decide to stay in Chu'anping City for the Mid-Autumn Festival this time.
Sitting leisurely on the roof of a house, overlooking the scenery on the entire street, eating snacks, I feel so comfortable! If there is another tent or something to hide the night wind, it would be even more perfect!
As the distance between midnight and the people on the street gathered more and more, and there were naturally more people on the nearby roofs.
"All those people are the same as us? Will this attract the attention of the government?" Shu looked at the number of people on the nearby roof, and was squatting on the roof like them to watch the scene when the big lantern was lit. He couldn't help but whisper to Ji and ask, "I think the people in this government should know that someone will go to the roof, right?"
"I know, but I know, but I may not be able to stop it!" Ji said with a smile, "There are so many people on the street, and the government can't control them. This will make them take care of us. How can they have so many people and time? Besides, those who can come to this roof may not be those who can send a few people to see them and fight!"
Therefore, as long as the viewers are honestly doing nothing excessive on this roof, those officials will turn a blind eye and pass by it.
Shu was relieved.
There was still half a moment before midnight, but there were more people coming from the nearby roof. However, in the night, Shu couldn't see what kind of outfits these people were, so she didn't care too much! Instead, she looked at the streets, watching the dense heads constantly scattering, and many lanterns lit up on both sides of the streets, illuminating the entire area, and couldn't help but look forward to it.
Soon, the person who presided over the lighting of the lamp appeared next to the huge lantern. I don’t know what method was used, but I let his voice spread loudly so that everyone could hear it clearly. Wen Huai’s words were not very clear, but I also knew that this was probably the content of the preaching before the lighting ceremony, which was probably the praise of the government, the families or wealthy businessmen who donated silver for the lanterns, and by the way, they praised the largest official in Chuanping City, and the process was completed.
Seeing the speaker get off the stage, Shu knew that the lighting ceremony was about to officially begin.
"Do you know who the person who lights the lamp is?" Shu couldn't help asking Zhuo Nan.
"I heard that I seemed to have invited the longest-lived person in Chu'anping City!" Zhuo Nan replied directly, "I heard that in the past few years, Chu'anping City had such a light-lighting person. Just as the lady thought of it, something happened when lighting the lights, and almost caused a life. The one who lighting the lights was the biggest official in Chu'anping City. He didn't scare him to death at that time, so the candidate for lighting the lights was changed!"
Shu felt a little sarcastic when he heard this! This is why the official in the government was afraid of death, so he gave up the candidate for the light!
"However, even if the candidates for lighting lamps are in danger, it is also a top honor in the hearts of the people of Chu'anping City! Miss, don't just light such a lamp, saying that it is risking your life, but most of the people in Chu'anping City want to go! They all said that this is a lifetime of glory..." Zhuo Nan said to Shu about the news he had found, "The people he has decided this year are all selected from good candidates..."
Shu didn't know what to say, so she could only watch a trembling figure being held by someone, and carefully walked to the platform where the huge lanterns were placed.
"How do you want to light this lantern?" Shu asked curiously.
"There are leads!" Zhuo Nan looked in the direction of the lantern and said to Shu: "We are far apart, so the lady may not be able to see it! There is a small hole under the lantern, where is the wire? After a while, the person who lights the lantern only needs to use a torch to ignite the lead! The fire will follow the lead into the lantern, and then the light will be lit!"
After thrusting, he became even more curious: "What is the shape of this lantern? It's time to come, and it's still covered with cloth! When will it be opened?"
"It's almost done!" Zhuo Nan said curiously, "It is said that these lanterns are different every year. In the past few years, they were all huge flowers, auspicious beasts, etc.! This year, it's almost the same, but the types of flowers and auspicious beasts must be different from those in the past few years..."
"Then look at this shape, it looks even bigger than the auspicious beast!" Shu thought for a while, but said.
"It should be!"
At this moment, a group of officers and soldiers also got on the lantern table, holding some long bamboo poles and other things in their hands. After standing in batches, Shu saw the cloth covered with lanterns being lifted, revealing the outline of the huge lantern inside! It was just because the sky was too dark, so it was not very real.
"It's a auspicious beast!" Zhuo Nan and his men said with a smile on their faces of certainty, "I made a Tiggo this year!"
"Tigggo!? Tiggo?" Shu suddenly felt energetic and couldn't help looking towards the lantern, "What does that tiger look like?"
"Half-lying!" Dian Chu also smiled, and quickly reached out and began to introduce Shu to what the various parts of Tiggo looked like according to the outline of the lantern.
"You can see clearly, it's great!" Shu couldn't help but feel a little envious. As soon as he finished speaking, he watched a soldier walking towards the lantern with a torch and handed it to the old man standing on the platform. Under the reflection of the firelight, Shu could see the old man hunched over and standing alone under the lantern. Although he couldn't see clearly, Shu could feel his excitement and excitement at this moment.
"Miss, I'm going to light the light!" Dian Chu couldn't help but say something, and then he heard a bell suddenly coming from Chu Anping City.
When the bell rang, the person who lighted the lamp bent down and lit the fire in his hand under the huge lantern. The slight fire light lit up, and you could clearly see a line of fire penetrated into the lantern, like a firework that spread out instantly, spreading towards the huge lantern.
