Chapter 261 Grassland Party and Horse Racing(2/2)
"Guess."
"You know magic?"
"Understand a little bit."
"Really?"
"A little bit."
"I heard that there are people who can do magic at night. They are very powerful and can perform magic. I have never seen one before."
"so……"
The young man talked too much and was too enthusiastic, and Song You didn't know how to reply to him.
The two parties chatted for a few words before they separated.
There were countless tents ahead, with people coming and going, as well as cattle, sheep, and horses. Song You walked through them with his bay-red horse. The little girl carefully avoided the adults and the horse dung on the ground, and followed him closely.
People were drinking and talking and talking loudly everywhere.
The bustling sounds came from all directions.
It is a pity that even though Dayan is now strong and powerful, even people as far away as the Western Regions are proud to speak Dayan Mandarin, but after all, this does not belong to the poor people. Most of the people talking here use the local language, and most of the sounds that fill their ears
Song You couldn't understand it, so he could only watch their expressions and feel their emotions.
It can be heard that people are worried, probably because they are troubled by war and demons.
But what’s more is joy and excitement.
You can also hear that some people have known each other for a long time, and some are strangers. They come from different places on this prairie for hundreds of miles. It seems that there is no need to know each other in advance, and they are friends as soon as we sit down.
Occasionally there are people who understand, most of them are businessmen and officials from here.
Song You walked around, listened to the conversations of businessmen from other places in Yanzhou, and chatted with officials who were familiar with him. He almost understood the process of this grassland meeting.
The formal ceremony of worshiping heaven and earth will take place five days later, and during these five days, there will also be a grand prairie event.
There is horse racing every morning. The rules are very simple, one person and one horse, and speed wins.
What is different from Song You's imagination is that most formal horse racing meets are attended by children, because children here have grown up on horses, and their equestrian skills are not weaker than those of adults. Riding the same horse does not require too much time.
In technical events, adults cannot outrun children.
If adults also want to compete, they can call a group of friends or similar adults after the official horse racing competition, set their own rewards, and compete by themselves.
On the first few days, the winner was awarded a sheep, and on the last day, the winner was awarded a horse.
There is a horse race in the afternoon, which is a game for adults.
In the evening, it’s time to relax. Basically, people will sing and dance around the campfire, and some people will also go wrestling.
The gap in between is mostly trading time.
As Song You walked along, he saw many tents filled with goods. Some people spontaneously brought things to sell or exchange, there were also merchants who came from other places, and there were also special tents for prostitutes.
Whenever he heard gasps coming from the tent, the Taoist would take the little girl and leave quickly. On the contrary, the little girl would be attracted by curiosity, stop and stand there, staring at the tent, despite the Taoist's urging.
It had already worked to make her stand still - without the Taoist's urging, she would have run over and opened the curtain to look inside.
After that, the Taoist had no choice but to hold her hand.
