Yi Xiaotian packed up the things in the house, grabbed some water, touched his face, changed into clean clothes and went out.
According to A Liang, Duosi and others were probably waiting for the arrival of the relative and friend outside the East City Gate, so Yi Xiaotian strolled eastward along the avenue.
Today is a celebration, and there are people coming and going on the road, and there are many strange barbarians. This is not to say that Yi Xiaotian recognizes all the barbarians in the city, so he can tell who is an outsider at a glance, but because
Different tribes have different customs, so to tell where the barbarians come from, you can often tell by the tattoos and decorations on their bodies.
Yi Xiaotian couldn't recognize all the barbarians, but he was familiar with the characteristics of several tribes with larger numbers in Duosi. But it was different today. Looking at it, it was really a colorful ocean.
Either in small groups or in pairs, the street was very lively.
Moreover, Yi Xiaotian just asked Duosi to hold the celebration at that time, but when it came to how to hold the celebration, Yi Xiaotian had no idea.
Besides, this is the territory of barbarians, so you are not allowed to follow the local customs.
However, one thing today made Yi Xiaotian see a lot of strange things.
Due to the years of war in the Central Plains, although there are many areas that are relatively prosperous, they always seem to lack the atmosphere of fireworks - the people live in poverty and naturally cannot seek too much entertainment, but this group of barbarians is different.
Halfway along the road, there were people doing juggling, breathing fire, dancing snakes, fighting cocks, and wrestling. All the activities that should be done in the Central Plains are here, and there are even more activities that are not available here.
On the street, you can see vendors selling all kinds of bone and jade jewelry decorations. If such things were placed in the Central Plains, they would definitely be priceless.
But these barbarians just look at one thing when selling things, and the pricing highlights one word.
Moreover, they did not use Han copper coins, gold and silver in their transactions, but seemed to use a special kind of bone coins. These were things that Yi Xiaotian had never heard of or seen before.
Even if he was familiar with history, he could rarely find records of this kind of folk customs. Now that he could see it in person, it was like a dream, like a dream. Only then did he realize that he had already left.
Entered history.
Of course, there are even more exaggerated things. On the east, west, north and south avenues, it seems that there will be parades composed of bands, dance groups and wizards every once in a while.
Yi Xiaotian heard some kind of special flute sound across the distance... Looking at the crowds of people in front of him, he stepped forward to join in the fun. Fortunately, he was tall enough, and he could see it at a glance over the crowd.
Several elephants with skin as white as jade.
Each of those elephants was covered in decorative armor similar to that of certain tribes. Driven by the barbarians on their backs, they moved forward slowly, well-behaved and honest.
This is an elephant... He had only heard the story of Cao Chong calling him an elephant, but after staying in the Central Plains for so many years, he had never seen a real elephant. Now in Nanzhong, these wishes have come true.
Calling Yi Xiaotian was a bit unexpected.
But he doesn't reject this feeling.
On the contrary, because I have been busy for many days, I always feel like I am away from the world. When I came to this celebration today, I finally got a bit of popularity and felt extremely relaxed.
only…
Perhaps because he was too distracted by the sight, Yi Xiaotian didn't notice that his position was already in the center of the crowd. As the elephant moved further, the crowd suddenly began to move in the opposite direction to the east of the city.
This is good. Among ordinary Han people, although Yi Xiaotian looks a little slender, he can still be considered strong, but compared with the group of shirtless barbarians around him now, he is really not good enough.
Not to mention the men who couldn't squeeze through, even the barbarian women were all very big and strong, making Yi Xiaotian like a duckweed being swept up and down by the waves, leaving no room for resistance.
"Well! All you heroes...good...good girls! Can you lend me a...hey...don't step on my foot, it hurts...hey hey! Someone pinch my butt!"
Yi Xiaotian just wanted to cry without tears. He even thought for a moment that he would not be here today, right?
After several unsuccessful struggles, Yi Xiaotian looked at the east city gate getting further and further away, feeling desperate and unable to extricate himself.
However, at this time, Yi Xiaotian suddenly felt his neck being pulled hard by some powerful hook. Before he could react, he was lifted out of the crowd like a chicken.
.
During this process, Yi Xiaotian was confused. At the same time, he also heard a familiar voice saying:
"Sir, you are so accurate, Ling'er."
"Ouch! Stop talking so much and put Mr. down quickly!"
"..."
——
"Zilong, you guys are so well here, haha..."
I don’t know how much time passed, but the parade gradually moved away, leaving behind a mess and Yi Xiaotian squatting on the ground and out of breath.
Yi Xiaotian gave a thumbs up to the tall and muscular man in front of him, as if he was praising him or blaming him...
On the contrary, the two people opposite saw Yi Xiaotian's rare deflation, and their smiles were brighter than the sun.
Yes, the two people in front of Yi Xiaotian were Zhao Yun and Fan Ling who came out to attend the celebration.
At this time, Fan Ling held Zhao Yun's arm very naturally and leaned her head gently towards his shoulder. Zhao Yun was standing as straight and rigid as a piece of wood and iron, and Fan Ling did not feel any discomfort.
"No way, isn't this Ling'er? She saw you, sir, being held hostage by the crowd, and asked me to come and pull you out, so I did it. If it hadn't been for her..."
"Oh, okay, okay, don't show off your affection in front of me. You go shopping in your place and don't worry about me. I still have important things to do."
Hearing the words "show affection", the two people who had seemed extremely close just now finally realized that their actions were a bit too intimate, and each blushed with embarrassment, as if they wanted to hide something.
Zhao Yun responded very quickly. As soon as the conversation changed, he asked about the important things Yi Xiaotian said:
"Is it important?
What's important?
Do you need our help?"
"Um...I don't know about this either. I just heard A Liang mention it-"
Yi Xiaotian briefly repeated A Liang's statement. After hearing this, Zhao Yun looked at Fan Ling and seemed to have made up his mind:
Just as Yi Xiaotian was sorting out his clothes, Zhao Yun said quickly:
"Sir, we are going too, we will go with you!"
"ah?
What, you don’t want to go shopping with your Ling’er?”
"First...sir, please stop teasing us...let's leave quickly, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up if we are later!"
Looking at Fan Ling who was running away, Zhao Yun was a little confused, while Yi Xiaotian was a little dumbfounded.
