Chapter 42

On Saturday afternoon, people came and went to Qingjia square.

Meng Huo stood beside a pillar on the west side of the square. He took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. At 3 p.m., it was time to meet the fans.

"Isn't it coming?"

Meng Huo thought optimistically that he didn't have a phone call from the other party. If he didn't come, he couldn't get in touch.

This is a good thing. Meng Huo doesn't want to expose his identity. Anyway, he has come here according to the appointment. It's easy for him not to come. Meng Huo waited for ten minutes, but the fans still didn't come. He turned to leave.

"Are you teacher He Xi?"

Just then, a slightly hoarse voice came.

Meng Huo looked along the voice. A woman with a hat, sunglasses and a white mask almost completely covered her face came over. Even her voice was not clear.

"I am. Are you Xihe?"

"Yes."

When the woman came to Meng Huo, she was silent. It turned out that Meng Huo also had a hat, sunglasses and a mask. She was dressed just like a woman.

In the strange eyes of passers-by, both of them were unhappy.

This woman, He Xi, was thinking about what kind of cartoonist this was. Fans asked him to come out to meet him, but he made up! And Meng Huo also thought about what kind of fans it was, and told people to come out, but he didn't even show his face.

But on the surface, neither of them is different.

"Don't you think teacher He Xi's dress is hot?"

He Xi broke the silence.

"Hot? It's so cool today. You can take off your mask when it's hot! " Meng Huo said with a smile that his dress is to deal with the situation that his fans are journalists or other interested people, and He Xi's dress makes him more alert.

Ordinary fans don't have to dress up so tightly.

"I'm being followed. It's easy for him to find me when I take off my mask." He Xi began to explain that Meng Huo did not believe this reason at all.

He Xi is the same. She is very curious about Meng Huo's appearance, but obviously normal means can't let him take off his mask. If it's an exchange, she's not willing to. Who knows what kind of person this cartoonist is? That Mach teacher was obsessed with her when she saw her. She didn't want to repeat the tragedy.

So He Xi changed the topic. First of all, she took out pen and paper from her bag and asked Meng Huo to draw. She confirmed that He Xi was the real He Xi.

He Xi was surprised by this confirmation. It turns out that teacher He Xi is really a teenager. Although she can't see the specific age, she must be under 18. After confirming that she was a teenager, she became more interested in He Xi. Without chatting for a long time, she enthusiastically called him "He Xi's younger brother.".

Meng Huo didn't object. This woman gave him a familiar feeling. Although his voice was hoarse across the mask, his tone and timbre made him feel familiar more and more, much like He Xi he was looking for.

Meng Huo is not familiar with Ninghai, and He Xi is the one who leads the way.

"What's my sister's last name?"

Meng Huo walked forward behind her. He turned his mind and made a quiet exploration. He didn't ask for his first name directly. If he only asked for his surname, most people would not doubt it.

"My name is Liu."

However, He Xi was very alert. She asked, "what's his brother's surname?"

Meng Huo said with a smile, "my family name is Liu, too."

He was disappointed, but he didn't give up his doubts and continued to test on the way.

While He Xi was dealing with him, she took him away from the crowded square and walked up a mountain road.

"There is a temple to pray for rain on it. In summer, witches dance on it to pray for rain. There are many tourists." "It's past summer now and there should be no more tourists," she said on the way

Meng Huo wondered: "how can there be witches in China? They're not Japanese... Oh no, far east? "

"What do you say? Of course there are witches in China. Didn't you learn Zhouli?"

He Xi looked back at Meng Huo and was a little surprised: "although I don't remember it very clearly, there were witches in the Zhou Dynasty. They were one of the official positions in charge of rites and ceremonies. They were usually responsible for exorcism, cleansing, praying for rain and praying for good weather."

The duties of the witch she talked about were very similar to those of Rb. Meng Huo recalled that he had read history books, which did say these things. But there is a big difference between the witches in Zhou Dynasty and Rb witches. Their images are more like mysterious witches, and they are not dressed in white and beautiful clothes.

Although he thought so, Meng Huo was stunned when he arrived at his destination. He saw a group of young girls in blue costume dancing on the bluestone board“lucky！ It seems that we are very lucky. These witches are practicing dancing! "

He Xi is a little happy. Meng Huo is surprised for a long time. After observation, he finds that the clothes on these witches are very similar to RB witches. However, although they look similar, they are more elegant and refined ancient clothes based on Hanfu

Witch with Chinese characteristics?

Meng Huo was very curious. He asked someone to find out that it was a custom inherited from the Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, the witches prayed for rain and wore different colors of Hanfu according to their positions. The witches who prayed for rain together with the Oriental God "dressed in green clothes and danced"; The witch who prayed for rain from Chiyou, the God of the south, dressed in red and danced; The witch who asked Houji, the God of the central government, for rain "danced in yellow clothes"; The witch who prayed for rain from the Western God "dressed in white and danced"; The witch who prays for rain from xuanming, the God of the north, dances in black.

Ninghai is located in the East, where the witches are dressed in green.

Meng Huo was convinced that the integrity of the world's Chinese culture was beyond his expectation. Qin Shihuang did not burn books to dig Confucianism, and the changes of dynasties did not break the cultural heritage. Shintoism is still prosperous in the extreme East, but the Chinese witches have survived.

There are hundreds of Chinese local sects centered on Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. People's beliefs are very free

Of course, none of these are important. The important thing is that Meng Huo already knows what to draw in the next girl's cartoon. He can integrate a cartoon with RB mythological style into the current Chinese system.

This meeting with fans is really worth it!

Meng Huo was happy. He expressed his gratitude to He Xi, which made her puzzled.

"In two weeks you will know why I thank you." Meng Huo said with a smile. Seeing a small shop nearby, he went over with a bright eye: "in order to show his gratitude, I'll treat you to a drink."

He bought a box of milk tea, a bottle of orange juice, and then handed it to He Xi.

"Drink, don't mention it."

Meng Huo put the straw into the milk tea and said with a smile.

He Xi looked at his boxed milk tea, because Meng Huo had a straw, so he could drink it without opening his mask. But bottled orange juice is troublesome. If you want to drink it, you have to lift the mask, so He Xi is exposed to Meng Huo's eyes.

She thought about it and went into the shop.

"Boss, give me a long straw."
