Bai Shanbao advised Manbao to stay in the city tomorrow and said, "I heard from Wei Chen that the city is really fun. There are not only boat races but also Nuo operas. Have you seen the Nuo operas?"

Man Bao shook his head, "I haven't seen it, have you?"

"I vaguely remember seeing it once in Longzhou when I was a kid. I don't remember it very clearly. Anyway, it was very interesting. It was about exorcising the ghost plague and wearing a mask on the face. It was really fun."

Man Bao was very moved by what he said, but she promised Ke Ke to go find something good for it.

Seeing her move, Bai Shanbao continued: "It's the Dragon Boat Festival. There must be a lot of flowers and plants on the street. The ones you planted in the yard haven't bloomed yet. I saw there are quite a few on the street. Let's buy some then."

Come back looking good."

But what she wanted was not flowers she had seen on the street, but flowers she had never seen before.

Just as Manbao was thinking this, Keke suddenly said: "The host can go if he wants, but don't forget to make up for me after the Dragon Boat Festival."

Man Bao's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed happily in his heart.

Keke added: "If you see a creature you haven't seen before tomorrow, remember to include it."

Man Bao only got the benefit, so he agreed without even thinking about it.

Man Bao nodded to Bai Shanbao, "Okay, tomorrow we will go to the street to watch a Nuo opera!"

So Bai Shanbao was happy, Manbao was happy, and Keke was also satisfied.

Seeing that the two of them had settled on their own, Bai Erlang was a little unhappy, "Why didn't you ask me?"

Bai Shanbao lowered his head and looked down at him sitting on the wicker chair strangely, "Aren't you going?"

"Go!"

Bai Shanbao: "Isn't that great?"

He turned to look at Man Bao and asked, "What lesson did Mr. teach you today?"

The two of them went to discuss studying.

Bai Erlang:......

He puffed up his cheeks and decided to ignore them, but after a while, he couldn't help but talk to the two of them, "There's really a Nuo show tomorrow? Then should we buy some masks too?"

The two people who were talking about their homework were immediately diverted. Bai Shanbao said: "The street was very lively when I came back just now."

Man Bao was very excited, "Then let's go out to play later?"

"What are you doing for a while? Let's go out now." Bai Shanbao said and left, turned around and ran to take the book basket from Daji's hand, carried it back to his room, and then stuffed a few pieces of silver into his wallet.

He ran out and called to his two friends, "Let's go!"

There is free time after school every day. Mr. Zhuang never restricts them from studying. It all depends on everyone's own initiative. So if they want to run out and play, no one will stop them.

Daji followed them out silently.

The cook heard the commotion and ran out and said, "Master, please come back early, I'm going to start cooking dinner."

Bai Shanbao waved his hand nonchalantly and turned to ask Manbao, "Where are Brother Zhou and Zhou Lijun?"

"I'm going out." Man Bao walked out of the alley and was surprised to see so many new stalls on the street. "Is it so lively?"

The three of them walked along the street and soon saw a stall selling masks. They couldn't help but swarm over and pick them up.

In some of the larger stalls, there are a lot of ghost faces, and they are also very scary and colorful.

Man Bao chose one and put it on his face and asked Bai Shanbao: "Are you afraid?"

Bai Shanbao took a look, shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid."

He put his own on and asked, "Where's mine?"

"It's not scary either."

Suddenly a hand was placed on the shoulders of the two people. They couldn't help but turn around. A ferocious ghost face suddenly appeared in front of them. The two people couldn't help but screamed and took a step back.

Bai Erlang took off his mask and laughed at the two of them. He was so happy, "Did it scare you? Hahahaha, this mask is scary only if you hide yourself and put it on secretly. Just watch the other person wearing it. What's scary about it?"

of?"

The two of them thought what he said made sense, so they looked at each other and then turned around and bought two of the scariest masks from the stall owner.

"Sister-in-law!" Zhou Lijun saw Man Bao and ran over with a basket on his back, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?"

"Buy a mask," Man Bao said very generously, putting a mask in his hand on her face to compare with, and said with a smile: "This one suits you very well, so I give it to you."

Bai Shanbao glanced at her backpack and asked, "What are you doing?"

"My fourth uncle and I went out of the city," Zhou Lijun said happily: "Sister-in-law, you don't know that wormwood sells better in Yizhou City. We went out early this morning to cut wormwood and tie it into a small bundle.

, a small bundle was sold out in just half a day, and it was more expensive than what was sold in the county."

"How expensive?"

"For four cents a bundle, my fourth uncle and I occupied a stall, and sold more than a hundred bundles in total. We plan to set up a stall tomorrow morning." Zhou Lijun said: "Now my fourth uncle is still cutting mugwort outside the city.

Damn it, because I’m afraid you’ll be worried, so I asked me to come back early to tell you that he might come back late.”

Man Bao responded and said he understood.

Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang expressed their incomprehension, "Can mugwort be sold? Aren't these things available everywhere?"

"Of course you can. My second brother went to the county town to sell mugwort a few years ago."

Bai Shanbao suddenly realized, "Let me tell you, why do people say that every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, all the good wormwood near the village is cut by others, so that they have to go far away to cut the wormwood..."

Bai Erlang also remembered, "Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, my friend who plays with me takes a sickle to a distant field to cut it. So it turns out that all the good mugwort near the entrance of the village is cut by your family?"

Man Bao blinked, "They're all wild. It's better to strike first. Who told them not to cut them two days in advance?"

"These things can be found everywhere in the village. It would be great to cut them back and insert them fresh on the Dragon Boat Festival. Why do you have to cut them in advance?" Bai Shanbao said: "No one thought that your family even sells mugwort?"

Man Bao snorted, "Many people in the village know this..."

Bai Shanbao said that he didn't know, otherwise he would have taken a sickle and cut a lot of them home in advance, and stuck one in each door frame.

The four of them bought masks, looked at some fun things on the street, and then walked home slowly.

After all, it was getting late today, so they decided to go out early to play tomorrow.

Bai Erlang was very happy, "Fortunately, Mr. Zhuang didn't give me any homework. I have to go to bed earlier at night, come out earlier tomorrow, and play later."

Man Bao also nodded happily.

Bai Shanbao: "...I have homework."

Man Bao and Bai Erlang looked at him sympathetically and expressed that they were helpless.

Bai Shanbao stared at Manbao and said, "We agreed to study together, and we have to face difficulties together. You can't just keep your word."

"It is unethical to help with homework."

"You choose, either do half of it for me and I'll copy it; or you can do all the questions I did. You promised to study with me."
