The flow of people on the streets did not decrease, but was even greater than during the day. People who originally had to look after the shop during the day, but when it was almost night, they all came out to close the shop and thank customers.
They looked at the scene in the city and marveled at the lights as bright as day.
Not only were the outsiders surprised, but even the local people did not expect to see this scene. At this moment, they truly felt the difference from previous years, as if they foresee that the future will be as bright and warm as this bright light.
They put on masks, carried lanterns, and walked together in a happy and relaxed mood.
In the increasingly dark sky, fearless, their laughter can be heard through the masks.
Guan Feilian and his wife walked with Pei Yan, wearing the masks that Pei Yan gave them, but they didn’t know much about what was going to happen next.
The Winter Breaking Festival he knew did not involve walking at night wearing a mask and carrying a lantern.
Ruan Yuan asked: “Is this the Night Parade Festival?”
Pei Yan smiled and said, “That’s right.” He pointed to the horizon, “When the sun goes down, the Night Parade Festival is here.”
Ruan Yuan asked again: “What does wearing a mask mean?”
Pei Yan said: “This has so many meanings that I can’t finish them in just a few words. The most important point is that the Night Parade Festival is a festival of gods. Those who are worshiped by the gods at night will have fun together. When the time comes, weird things will happen together. On our face This mask is all about weird things, and it means living in harmony with them.”
Ruan Yuan nodded and thanked Pei Yan for his explanation.
Pei Yan said with a smile: “On this festival, don’t be polite to me. If you call me “adult” or “unadult”, others will know who we are. I’m older than you, so why don’t we treat each other like brothers and sisters.”
Guan Feilian called out from Shanruliu, “Brother Pei.”
Pei Yan called him Brother Guan. Considering that he might be frightened by strange things when he first came to Beiyuan City, he reminded them to follow him at night and not to panic if they saw anything strange.
When Guan Feilian heard this, he first thought of the unmanned voice of the ‘night manager’ in Si Ye Mansion. He thought that the strange things Pei Yan said were probably similar to this, so he responded to express that he and his wife had made psychological preparations in advance. .
Pei Yan saw that he spoke calmly, and then remembered that he had been to Si Ye Mansion. He thought that Guan Feilian was really mentally prepared, so he swallowed more popular science back in his throat.
When the last rays of the setting sun set and night fell in Beiyuan City, the sounds on the streets suddenly fell silent.
It was really sudden silence, which startled people from other places and looked around them in confusion.
The people of this city all tacitly stopped talking, stopped walking, and stood on both sides of the street at this time.
Masks, lanterns, silence.
The picture is weird.
In this atmosphere, outsiders could not help but shut up and did not dare to stay in the middle of the street.
“This is?” Guan Feilian asked lowly.
