"Liaojiang!" is known as the mother river of Yangcheng.

This river has nurtured countless people living in Yangcheng.

Every year during the New Year, a grand event called "River Sacrifice" is held on the banks of the Liaojiang River.

The riverside is the most lively place to celebrate the New Year in Yangcheng, which is somewhat similar to the temple fair in the south.

After Zhao Xu, Lu Yuqi and Gege arrived at the riverside, a "lion dance" performance was being held here.

The weather is suddenly warm and then cold, but it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of Yangcheng people.

Just listen to the loud beating of drums and the rhythmic sound of cymbals. Two lions dressed as human beings jumped back and forth on high and low piles to the rhythm of the drums, performing various fancy and difficult performances, which attracted onlookers.

The crowd clapped their hands and cheered.

These lion dance acrobats have received special training since childhood.

As the saying goes, one minute on stage takes ten years off stage. The performance is indeed wonderful and is the quintessence of the country's non-idiosyncratic cultural heritage.

Zhao Xu was also attracted by the lion dance acrobatics on the stage. The three of them stared at the lion dance performance.

Lu Yuqi looked particularly excited.

During the New Year celebrations in the provincial capital, she and Master Lu were the only two people at home. There were not even any relatives visiting the house. The atmosphere during the New Year celebrations every year was not much different from usual, lifeless.

Going out with Zhao Xu this time was really an eye-opener for her. Not only did she taste all kinds of delicious food, but she also gained more knowledge.

It perfectly explains: What is meant is that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books!

After the three of them watched the lion dance performance, Lu Yuqi was still immersed in excitement and talked with Gege about the lion dance just now.

Encountering a stall selling "candy men" on the way, Lu Yuqi bought two "candy men" and gave one to Princess. The two of them ate the "candy men" while wandering around various stalls along the river.

.

"Sugar Man" has a history of more than 600 years and is said to have originated during the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang built the "Pavilion of Heroes", and many of the heroes were killed. Liu Bowen managed to escape with some dexterity, and was later rescued by an old man carrying sugar water on his shoulders. After the two changed their clothes, Liu Bowen walked down the street wearing the old man's clothes. Later,

It was improved by Liu Bowen and made into various figures or animal shapes, and the art of sugar figures was passed on to many people. Since then, it has been popular and promoted across the country.

Zhao Xu knew that Lu Yuqi was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him. However, he was not angry either. How could he be so familiar with a yellow-haired girl like Lu Yuqi?

At this time, there was the sound of quarreling in front of a stall.

I heard a woman crying and saying: "Are you giving me a few days of grace? I will return the money to you after I make money."

"Old lady, our young master has given you more than a week's grace. You also said that if you don't pay the money, you will let your daughter work as a maid in the Bai family to pay off the debt. What, do you want to default on the debt?"

Plop!

The woman knelt down to the two men and begged with tears in her eyes: "Please give me a few more days of grace. As long as I raise enough money, I will return the money to you as soon as possible."

"Repaying debts is a matter of course! You and our young master have already signed a deed, are you going to deny it?" the man said coldly.

Seeing that there were many people watching, the bodyguard glared at the people around him and shouted sternly: "What are you looking at? The Bai family is doing something, you'd better get away from me!"

Upon hearing the words "Bai Family!", everyone onlookers immediately retreated for fear of getting into trouble.

Lu Yuqi saw that the stall owner was a woman in her forties, accompanied by a little girl about the same size as her.

The little girl is pretty and pretty. I didn’t expect that there are such “bully” people in real life. What’s the difference between this and robbing civilian girls?

However, Lu Yuqi did not dare to make a mistake. She asked in a low voice to Gege beside her: "Gege, who are the Bai family? Why do they look so powerful!"

Gege snorted softly and said: "Hmph! This Bai family is one of the top ten richest people in Yangcheng. They say that the young master is called Bai Bowen and he is my mortal enemy. That boy talks like a sissy.

He's so girly. I had a fight with him last time. I didn't expect that this kid would do such a dirty thing secretly. By the way, Zhao Xu has seen him."

Zhao Xu heard the conversation between Gege and Lu Yuqi clearly. He couldn't help but think of the scene when he happened to meet Gege at the "Siyang Tower" when he first came to "Yangcheng" in Province L. He clearly remembered it.

, the young boy who had a big fight with Princess at that time was named Bai Bowen.

No wonder people around are afraid of "the Bai family!" But then again, the Bai family does have such proud capital.

Princess was about to go up and stop the despicable behavior of the two bodyguards of the Bai family. Zhao Xu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Princess, shaking his head at her.

"Zhao Xu, I thought you were a very just person. I didn't expect you to be so timid and afraid of getting into trouble! If you don't care about me, I will take care of this matter!" Gege was very disappointed with Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu was worried that Gege would do something bad and warned her: "What's the use of expelling the two bodyguards from the Bai family now? That will only alert the enemy. As long as you are not here, the Bai family will definitely intensify their revenge on the mother and daughter."

"

"What do you mean?..." Gege asked, frowning.

"If you follow the example and just beat the dog, how can the owner feel pain? If the owner is taken care of, the dog will naturally learn to behave," Zhao Xu said.

Gege smiled, revealing a row of neat white teeth. She took a pink fist and lightly hammered Zhao Xu, and said with a smile: "I thought you were a timid coward who is afraid of getting into trouble. Then it's up to you, let's follow the clues.

, I want to settle accounts with that pretty boy Bai Bowen. You don’t know, after Siyang Tower, in several public occasions, this kid always made trouble for me. I have long wanted to seize the opportunity to deal with him! Zhao Xu, you will do it for me later.

Treat him well."

Before Zhao Xu could speak, Lu Yuqi said angrily: "Don't worry, Gege, I will teach him a lesson for you then! If you dare to bully my Gege, see how I deal with him."

"Xiao Qi, you are so kind! But are you good at kung fu?" Gege asked worriedly.

Lu Yuqi smiled and said: "It's so-so, but I should be able to deal with this pretty boy, no problem!".

Playboys from rich families like this are so addicted to beauty that their bodies have long been hollowed out. They only rely on a group of losers around them.

The two bodyguards of the Bai family argued with the female stall owner for a while, and finally took the stall owner's daughter away by force.

"Let me go! Let me go! Mom, save me..."

The woman cried and chased after her, but was pushed to the ground by one of the bodyguards. The bodyguard spat at the woman, cursed and left.

Zhao Xu stepped forward and helped the woman up from the ground. He asked the woman, "Sister, what happened?"
