Xia You and others also entered the crowd and slowly moved forward together with these tourists.
There were two rows of stalls lined up on the street, selling all kinds of delicious snacks and other gadgets. Seeing that Xiaozhi was a little interested, Xia You bought a few snacks and joined everyone. share.
When she saw Xiaoxia stopping in front of a jewelry stall but leaving silently, Xia You walked to the stall, carefully selected, bought a hairpin, and gave it to Xiaoxia.
Xiaoxia had a smile on her face. Although she didn't say much, it could be seen from her expression that she liked this gift very much.
This time the festival was as lively as in previous years. They walked forward for a while and even saw a woman dressed up dancing to the music and people’s shouts and cheers. Performing exotic dances.
However, unlike Xia You and the others who were relaxed, Xiaogang had no intention of playing at this time. He lowered his head and followed behind, with a look of lovesickness on his face. It was obvious that he still missed the woman at the dock, and even talked about it. Inside, he kept muttering something in a low voice.
"Please wait a moment"
An old but energetic voice suddenly sounded behind several people.
Xia You turned around and found that she was an old woman with white hair, less than one meter tall, holding a cane, and wearing a purple robe.
This old woman has a big mouth and very dry skin, especially her eyes, which look quite sharp.
Xiao Gang was still immersed in the beauty of the woman. When he turned around, he was startled by the appearance of the old woman. He was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
"Wow, a shriveled old kappa appeared"
"Who is the kappa?" the old woman cursed angrily, and then looked back and forth between Xia You and Xiaogang. He glanced around and said with a mysterious face, "Listen up, you must be careful and watch out for beautiful women, otherwise you will definitely be unlucky today."
"What are you talking about?" Xiaoxia muttered He raised his mouth, glanced at Xia You quickly, and said with some trepidation, "How could I make him unlucky?"
"Idiot," the old woman shouted, "I'm talking about a beautiful woman, not you. "Such a young girl"
"Why do you say I am a little girl?" Xiaoxia's hair suddenly exploded. Obviously, these words touched her sore spot.
On the side, after hearing the old woman's advice, Xiao Gang was thoughtful. Only Xia You knew that she was actually a fake body transformed by a ghost. At this time, she was just staring at them. , then smiled and passed by, not paying too much attention to her words.
But Xiaoxia didn’t want such a rare trip to the festival to be disrupted by this old woman.
"That's nonsense. Let's stop talking to her and leave as soon as possible."
As she said that, she pushed Xia You's back with one hand and carried her with the other. He touched Xiaogang's ears, turned around and left here.
The end point of this festival is a shrine at the end of the town.
When Xia You and others followed the crowd to the shrine, they saw an old priest who rang the bells and drums on the hour.
"Everyone, be quiet. The treasures of the Maiden Shrine will now be on display."
Beside the old priest, there is still a picture scroll, but the picture scroll is now It was covered with white cloth, making it impossible to see clearly what was painted.
People surrounded the shrine and heard the old priest continue to say, "This painting is a secret treasure that has been handed down from this shrine two thousand years ago. It is only displayed every year during the summer festival." The exhibition will be held once, and then all guests will be invited to watch it carefully."
As he spoke, he pulled off the white cloth and fully displayed the scroll in front of everyone.
In the picture, there is a portrait of a woman. Her eyes are looking forward and her hands are placed on her chest, as if she is praying.
Although this painting is only in black and white and has no other colors, it still makes people feel the beauty of the woman and the rich sadness.
On the side, Xiaogang was surprised, because the beauty in the portrait was actually the woman in the white dress he saw at the small pier at noon
The old priest was like The voice of the narrator echoed in people's ears: "Two thousand years ago, there was a young couple who loved each other very much. However, because of the war, the man had to be drafted into the army and went to sea to fight with the army. Before leaving, he made a promise. Promise that after the war is won, she will return triumphantly.
In this way, the woman has been waiting for many years, but in the end, she did not wait for the man's return, waiting endlessly for her to become a man. He found a piece of rock and stood on the cliff, still waiting for his man."
This is indeed a sad legend, and people can't help but feel depressed after hearing it.
At this moment, Xiaogang, as if possessed by a demon, suddenly asked, "Excuse me, where is that rock now?"
"Alas" the old priest He was stunned for a moment, "Don't you know Maiden Rock?"
Night enveloped the earth.
On the cliff by the sea, a wooden house was built alone.
When Xia You and the others walked up the rugged mountain road to the cliff and walked around the wooden house, they saw a statue of a woman sitting on a cliff offshore.
I don’t know how many years have passed, but this statue seems to have been integrated with the cliff.
The waves are crashing on the rocks. In the distance, there are thousands of lights in the town of Maiden Gap. Even though it is far away from the town, you can still vaguely hear the joyous sounds of the celebration coming from there.
And this place seems to be as lonely as that legend.
Looking at the girl's rock, Xiaoxia whispered, "Do you think this rock was really transformed into that woman?"
"Who knows." Xia You Shaked his head, "At least I didn't see any traces of artificial carving."
At this time it was alreadyIt was ten o'clock at night, and the clouds in the sky suddenly enveloped the moon. A breeze blew by, bringing a refreshing chill.
Based on intuition, perhaps feeling that something was about to happen, Xia You took out two Poké Balls, and as the red light flashed, Charmander and Leibu appeared at his feet. side.
The fire on Charmander's tail and the electric current that flashed across Reib's body from time to time seemed to not only illuminate the surroundings, but also make him feel particularly at ease.
"There's nothing to see here, let's go back to the town."
Compared with the lively streets, Xiaoxia naturally didn't want to stay here longer, but she didn't She thought that as soon as she turned around, she saw the door of the small room behind her slowly opening.
Creak
At first, she thought the wind had blown the door open, but the next second, a vague figure emitting light suddenly floated out from inside.
