A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 147 A Giant Dragon Formed from Small Boats? An Unexpected Mysterious Phenomenon!
The second day of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday.

The dragon boat parade ended at 6 p.m.

Some tourists who didn't get to join the queue were disappointed, but that's just how the scenic area rules are, and there's nothing they can do if they don't get to join the queue.

Next, there's a large plaza near the sect entrance where there's a special iron-smelting performance.

In the evening, there are also Nuo opera dances on the main stage of the ancient village.

That should keep the tourists busy enough.

Moreover, the afternoon performances are all lively, such as the ancient style parade and the Peach Blossom Spring Dance.

Many tourists missed the chance to ride the dragon boat because they saw these two performances.

"There are so many fun things to do in the scenic area, I can't believe I missed the dragon boat race."

"There's no way to miss the performance!"

"Let's go watch the iron flower performance and the Nuo opera first."

"The iron flower performance starts at 6:30, and the Nuo opera starts at 7:30!"

"There's a surprise performance on the riverbank at 8 o'clock today, and I heard it's different from yesterday's dragon boat race!"

"I'm so busy!"

The tourists were all deeply moved.

There is a three-day holiday for the Dragon Boat Festival.

On the third night, tourists will definitely go back to rest early, so there will be relatively fewer guests.

So, except for the night of the third day, Qi Yue prepared performances for the other two nights.

The first day was the dragon boat dance.

The program for the second day has not yet been revealed.

All I know is that it's by the river.

At this time, Qi Yue had already arrived at the depths of the river to check on the actors' preparations.

All that could be seen were bamboo rafts floating on the river.

Upon closer inspection, these bamboo rafts are actually connected end to end, resembling a dragon skeleton!
Qi Yue was slightly nervous.

After all, the official performance was about to begin, and as the owner of the scenic area, he was afraid of making mistakes.

That's why I keep a close eye on everything.

"Don't turn on the lights for a moment, just grope your way across in the dark."

"The river is flowing very slowly now, you could even say it's barely moving."

"Everyone, check again, and whatever you do, don't turn on the lights."

Qi Yue reminded him.

Among these people, some were actors invited from outside, and others were young men from a Nuo opera troupe.

Because Qi Yue became the boss behind the Nuo Opera troupe, the troupe members had to learn how to perform any kind of show.

"Boss, don't worry, we've rehearsed many times!"

"Come on, everybody!"

"This is it!"

"come on!"

The employees cheered each other on.

Then, everyone began to check their equipment.

Upon closer inspection, each bamboo raft has a bamboo umbrella fixed to it, and these umbrellas are equipped with light strips, but none of the lights are lit.

The bamboo raft is equipped with electrical devices and is strictly waterproofed.

At the very front of the bamboo raft, there was a huge dragon head decoration.

At this moment, the dragon's head was also dim and lackluster.

And so, everyone boarded the bamboo raft one by one, each responsible for one section.

Upon closer inspection, there were actually as many as twenty or thirty bamboo rafts.

"come on!"

Qi Yue encouraged everyone.

Then, once everyone was ready, they began paddling the bamboo raft and slowly moving forward.

People are very particular about the skills of paddling bamboo rafts.

It forms an S-curve, winding forward.

Draw the first one like this, and then draw the rest like this.

Standing on the bank, Qi Yue looked into the distance and saw what appeared to be a dark, giant dragon lurking on the surface of the river, meandering forward.

This feeling was somewhat shocking.

Seeing that the employees were all ready, Qi Yue walked towards the riverbank in the scenic area.

Get ready to enjoy tonight's performance.

It's almost eight o'clock.

After watching the Nuo opera dance, the people were extremely excited and flocked to the riverbank.

The marble railing was packed with people.

There are three floors inside and three floors outside.

The lights illuminated the people brightly.

The dragon boat was moored at the dock, with only some lanterns lit up.

Everyone can see it clearly.

"Isn't today supposed to be a dragon boat performance? Why is the dragon boat stopped here?"

"Could it be that today's performance is different?"

"So full of surprises?"

"This scenic spot has so many performances, it's so much fun to watch!"

"Yes, we were so busy eating and watching the show that we didn't even have time to see the scenery!"

Tourists held up their phones, ready to film what was about to happen.

The two things that leave the deepest impression on everyone are, firstly, the most exciting moment, and secondly, the moment of leaving.

If both of these times make people feel happy, then people's evaluation of the scenic spot will be very good.

The time was drawing ever closer to eight o'clock.

Just then, sharp-eyed tourists spotted something moving deep in the river.

The dark shadows swirled slowly across the river.

It's as if one is gazing into the abyss, or being gazed into by the abyss.

"There's something there! There's something on the river!"

"What's coming from here!"

"Oh my god, I can't see anything! The river is too dark!"

There was an uproar at the scene.

The riverbank was brightly lit by the light, but the river itself remained dark.

People can only see the general outline.

However, the performers riding on the bamboo rafts have a clear view of what's happening on the riverbank.

In their eyes, the riverside scene is also a beautiful sight.

Where the light shone, there were throngs of people. So, the performers all tensed up.

Soon, it was eight o'clock.

Just as everyone was waiting expectantly, suddenly, a deep horn sounded!
"Woo~~~~~"

The horn sound was deep and penetrating.

It seemed to echo deep in people's minds, and many tourists felt goosebumps all over their bodies.

Then, a light suddenly appeared on the dark river surface.

They are the dragon's eyes.

Those eyes were so bright that they immediately attracted people's attention.

Then, the light grew stronger and stronger until the entire dragon head was revealed.

"Holy crap! It's a dragon! There's a dragon!"

The tourists' eyes widened, their faces filled with anticipation.

The bugle call continued.

The exquisite faucet was fully lit up.

The dragon head is on the first bamboo raft, bright and dazzling.

This is just the beginning.

Then, one by one, the bamboo umbrellas on the raft lit up.

The dragon's body also awoke.

Each bamboo umbrella resembles a giant dragon scale.

The golden halo made it appear even more majestic and solemn.

"This is."

"The dragon is coming!"

"My God, it's a dragon boat! No, it's not a dragon boat! No, this is a dragon boat!"

"It's a giant dragon made up of small boats!"

"It's so beautiful! Can I sit on it?"

"It's so beautiful!"

Visitors are completely immersed in the performance.

By relying on this river, Qi Yue has made this Dragon Boat Festival even more wonderful.

Countless mobile phones recorded this scene.

If all goes well, the relevant video will soon appear online.

"It's really beautiful."

"All that effort was worthwhile."

Qi Yue watched the performance in the distance with satisfaction.

Everything is just right.

The dragon's head lights up, then its body lights up.

Then now a dazzling dragon made of bamboo rafts meanders forward.

Every step was perfect.

Qi Yue had already planned today's performance when he first conceived of creating this river.

Using this river as a backdrop, we will bring a visual feast to the audience.

Just then, suddenly, seemingly because of the light emanating from the bamboo raft...

A fish leaped out of the water and jumped straight into the air.

Then, another fish appeared.

Then, fish kept leaping up from around the bamboo raft.

Under the light, the fish's bodies shimmered with a golden luster.

This is precisely why the dragon made of bamboo rafts appears even more majestic.

Qi Yue was also somewhat taken aback.

This step wasn't in his design.

After all, he couldn't do that.

But suddenly many small fish started jumping, making the whole performance even more exciting.

"Look over there, there are fish! My God, this really is a dragon! The fish actually jumped out in response!"

"So many fish!"

"Wow, that's a miracle!"

"Could this dragon be a real dragon? And these fish are responding!"

"That's amazing! How did you do that?"

"Wow, fish follow the dragon? Did Boss Qi rehearse this?!"

The tourists were all amazed.

This scene is so stunning that it would probably trend on social media if posted online.

Several tourists noticed Qi Yue and pointed their phones at him, asking:

"Boss Qi, how was this show rehearsed?"

"How come those fish are moving forward with the dragon boat?"

"So beautiful!"

Qi Yue watched the spectacular performance in the middle of the river, somewhat surprised and bewildered.

Why do the fish jump out and move forward with the dragon boat?

I don't know?
Is there an electrical leak?
It shouldn't be.

Even if there's an electric shock, the fish won't jump!
Looking at the tourist's phone, Qi Yue could only smile mysteriously and reply:

"This is a secret."

"can not say."

"I hope everyone enjoys it."

Hearing him say that, the tourists had no choice but to give up.

Then they focused intently on watching the performance on the lake.

At this moment, the employees paddling the bamboo rafts were also a little confused.

Where did the fish come from?

Is it so magical?

Are they really going to accompany the dragon?

"Just keep paddling as usual, don't worry about these fish!"

"The tourists are all watching!"

someone shouted.

Upon hearing his words, the employees stopped paying attention to the leaping river fish around them.

They paddled the bamboo raft along an "S"-shaped route, heading from the depths of the river towards the shore.
