Thanks to Shuai Guo Tong Shoes for the red envelope, thank you.
At four o'clock in the afternoon.
The Grape Festival lighting ceremony begins.
Legend has it that a long time ago, there was darkness and no light here, and people could not live a normal life and could only die one by one.
So, one day, an extremely beautiful girl came and prayed to the sun god for his blessing, hoping to illuminate this place.
The god looked at her and said that the people there had offended the god, so as punishment, there was no sunlight, no rain, and no hope and beauty, so it was impossible.
The girl prayed devoutly and worshiped in front of the God's throne for seven days and seven nights, hoping that the God would put aside the past grudges and grant new hope to the people there.
The god was moved by her sincerity and agreed to her request. However, the rules established could not be changed or changed at will, otherwise how could she convince the public.
All gifts come at a price.
The god said that the girl's soul was the most beautiful soul she had ever seen, and if she agreed to exchange it, she would be able to convince everyone.
The girl agreed without hesitation.
The god also said that no matter how pure the soul is, it must be purified by the water of the Hiero River on Mount Sisyphus for 99 days.
The girl still agreed.
Although she knew that the water of the Hierro River has always been called the water of the devil.
Being soaked there is like undergoing a capital punishment.
The temperature changes randomly. The hottest water can reach the temperature of the sun, and the coldest water can reach the extreme of ten thousand years of ice. The most acidic, most alkaline, and most corrosive substances are concentrated there.
Even if she is a god who is cultivating upwards, not everyone can bear it, not to mention she is an ordinary little fairy with weak magic power.
However, she still agreed without any hesitation.
So she resolutely jumped into the El Hierro, the devil's river, the water of the land.
The tender skin was eroded, burned, corrupted, and peeled off layer by layer until the stark white bones were exposed.
But she gritted her teeth and still persisted without shouting.
But I kept crying because of the pain.
Tears turned into crystal grapes,
The chanting became long vines.
Grapes slowly grow, more and more, filling the entire Hierro River,
Until her body is destroyed.
After 99 days, even the bones will be completely corrupted.
But her soul has been elevated to the purest state in the world.
Where her body soaked and disappeared, the crystal tears turned into crystal grapes.
The longer it is, the more it is, and the longer it is, the denser it is.
Until, the entire El Hierro River was occupied.
The El Hierro slowly dried up as a result.
The water of the Demon Realm has also disappeared.
The sun also shines on this place.
People can finally bathe in the sun, finally get heat, and have new hope.
That song has also been heard by people, and has been passed down from generation to generation until now.
Later, in order to commemorate that girl, the Grape Festival was held at this time every year, and the sacred fire was lit every time.
We will never forget that her sacrifice brought happiness and light to all people.
.......
Therefore, such a sacred fire ceremony is sacred, supreme and admirable to the people here.
Everyone is very religious at this time.
...
The ceremony begins.
All invited guests stand.
The silver-gray metal torch was passed in the hands of everyone on the stage, and finally the mayor and a prestigious old man burned it to the altar together.
At the moment when the gas was fired, the whole audience cheered, raised glasses, hugged each other, sang and roared enthusiastically to celebrate this exciting moment.
This is a sacred moment, a moment of pride and pride for everyone, and it naturally means different things to people here.
Qiao Ni stood on the wooden platform and bowed her eyes very seriously, looking helplessly at Zhong Tianyou who also participated in the event.
He was not as nervous as she was, and seemed to be going smoothly and at ease.
"Ye Yang." When she was extremely bored, she saw Ye Yang in the audience. Ye Yang was also looking at her. He was wearing a white shirt, fair skin, and a refreshing smile, no matter how he looked, he stood out.
What would he think about this?
How can I be worthy of him like this?
If I had known better, I shouldn't have blindly agreed to his pursuit in the first place.
Then, will everything not be as embarrassing as it is now?
Was it because she really wanted to fall in love, or was she looking for a temporary haven to avoid someone or forget someone? Standing on the stage, she only saw confusion.
...
In the evening, it’s another round of carnival peak at the town’s festival.
A carnival was held in Parry Square.
Here, everyone, whether they know each other or not, will gather together to dance, sing, and then clink wine glasses to each other to celebrate.
As an image spokesperson, Qiao Ni naturally has to participate.
In particular, the three "grape ladies" have to perform the opening dance with their "distinguished guests", which is regarded as the opening ceremony of a new round of carnival.
"Can you read it accurately?" He held her hand and put his arm around her waist. This time, he kept stepping on his foot. After more than a dozen times, he said a little unbearably.
"It's dark and I can't see." She just hoped that this inexplicable arrangement would end as soon as possible, and she danced absentmindedly.
"You can't see it this way." He lowered his head and suddenly kissed her lips.
"..."
...
Waltz.
All the people formed a big circle.
Men are on the outside, women are on the inside.
Then jump one by one and rotate one by one.
Finally return to the original position.
Ye Yang was still within her sight at first, but as more and more people joined in behind, the order became a bit chaotic. Although there were lights, the light and shadow were not as strong as during the day, so she looked around and lost track of him.
When the show finally ended, she passed through the crowds and went to look for Ye Yang, but it was so crowded and crowded that it was really not easy to find someone.
There was still a harsh mark on her lips from that person. If she hadn't been caught doing activities, she would have wanted to run away and leave here.
I just feel like my head is in chaos.
"What are you doing?" Suddenly a big, furry hand grabbed her thin wrist. She was so frightened that she wanted to pull back, but she was pulled too tight and couldn't move at all.
A tall, burly man with black hair and brown eyes, who looked a bit ferocious, looked at her with an obscene look on his face, and he dragged Qioni away towards the crowd.
"Asshole." Qiao Ni was so angry that she clenched her fists and slapped him hard.
Uh, it hurts.
His hands were numb from the stiff muscles on his face.
What is this man's meat made of?
"Oh, you dare to hit me." The man touched his face with one hand and looked at him angrily with the other.
"Why can't I hit you?" Isn't he right?
The next moment, she bit down hard on the big hand holding his fur.
She escaped from his control while he was in pain.
"Don't run, stop." The man became angry and wanted to catch her and punish her.
Idiots don't run away.
Qiao Ni ran while hoping to run into Ye Yang.
What's wrong today? I always encounter such wonderful things.
Pushing through the crowd to make way, he wormed his way through the crowd, with the men behind him hot on his heels.
Gradually, she felt that walking through the crowd was really tiring, so she ran towards the alley next to the square.
Running as hard as possible, no matter what.
I don't know how long it took, but when I felt that I didn't have enough energy, I stopped at a corner and looked around, but there was no one there.
Most people went to party.
She just panted and rested on the spot.
The houses here include Baroque, Gothic, and ancient Mediterranean architecture. Although each house has a different shape and shape, the overall plan is unified.
They were built neatly in rows, and the streets were long and orderly. However, because the houses were taller, it seemed dark and narrow.
The moonlight at night seems to only illuminate the upper part of the house here, while the lower part is completely dark.
Qiao Ni's heart was beating fast as she looked at the quiet, dark and unfamiliar place.
Feeling a little uneasy and scared.
The cool summer breeze blows through the alley from time to time, adding to the horror at this time.
She slowly groped her way back along the path she had remembered when she came here, but within a few steps she realized that she didn't seem to recognize this road at all.
to be exact.
be lost.
It was a dark and windy night, and it was a terrible thing to not be able to distinguish things in the quiet streets where no one was walking and there was echo.
Walking from the wide alley to the narrow alley, she looked around.
Just when she seemed to have found a new path.
Suddenly, my feet were caught by something hot and wet, no, to be exact, I was caught.
The thing moved like a claw on the ankle.
Because of the sticky liquid, the claws seemed to be slippery, and I couldn't grasp them no matter what, so I tried my best to hold them.
Bang, the pores all over the body closed, and all the cold hairs stood up suddenly.
I just felt like my whole body was covered in ice, as if I had fallen into a bottomless ice cave.
It seemed that it was accompanied by a strong smell of blood.
