The parade included programs like dance, acrobatics, magic, musical instrument performances and even special sports from all over the world; the entire fleet had a total of fifteen to thirty vehicles, and the scale was variable. When the team was the largest, it could line up directly from the beginning of the street to the end of the street until the starting point of the float parade was also the end point. The team would start from Folk Street and circle around the entire northwest folk district, which could last for one and a half to two hours.
Bai Ju and Xiao Yao started following the float team from the starting point, as usual. Judging from the situation, if you followed it for two blocks at most, you would be squeezed out.
But who was Old Dog Bai? He was not human at all.
Bai Ju was completely flexible. The big man, with his long legs, could always accurately step into the gaps in the crowd, and then successfully put himself and Xiao Yao on the moving conveyor belt. While Xiao Yao kept saying: “Brother Bai, Brother Bai, stop squeezing…”
Xiao Yao was a little dumbfounded: “We can just go to other blocks and wait in advance. We don’t have to follow the parade all the way.
Bai Ju was a bit stubborn: “What if I miss them throwing gold coins…did they squeeze you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Xiao Yao was protected tightly by Bai Ju’s arms. Apart from being a little dizzy, he was not squeezed at all. The only one who came into contact with his body rolling 360 degrees was Bai Ju.
So Xiao Yao waved his hand and simply stepped on the foot of Bai Ju: “I’m not squeezed, and I’m not uncomfortable; but the smell here is too mixed, will you feel a little uncomfortable when you smell it?”
After all, it was an island on the edge of the tropics. After a day of playing, many tourists had the smell of sweat on their bodies. In addition, many tourists had also sprayed perfume, and various smells were mixed in the crowded crowd. Even ordinary people felt uncomfortable smelling it. Not to mention the dog-nosed Bai Ju.
However, when Bai Ju heard this question, he couldn’t help but chuckle. He gave up his feet slightly and allowed a few humans to squeeze past him: “…it smells worse than this. I’ve smelled a lot of different scents.” In comparison, these smells were in the category of human smells. Not only did Bai Ju not find it unpleasant, he even liked them.
He looked up at the crowd in front and saw that the crowding level had increased a lot compared to the beginning; Bai Ju paused slightly, let go of Xiao Yao, then squatted down in front of him, put his hands behind his back and gestured: “Yao Yao, come up.”
Xiao Yao was slightly stunned and quickly refused: “No, no, no, Brother Bai, you don’t have to carry me…”
Bai Ju turned his head slightly and raised the corners of his mouth: “If you don’t want to be piggybacked, how about riding on my neck?”
Xiao Yao: …
Xiao Yao wiped his face, a little desperate: “Brother Bai, do you have to go with the team?
Bai Ju thought about it and felt that he could actually grab a few gold coins, so he said honestly: “Actually, it’s okay not to follow the team, but I want to carry you on my back.”
Xiao Yao no longer knew what to say.
His mind was in a mess now, and his heart was pumping disobediently. To be honest, Bai Ju seemed to be a little too active today. It may be caused by the traveling atmosphere, or it may be him who had some strange filter, but he always felt that this old white dog was particularly abnormal today, as if he was teasing him intentionally.
“Okay… Yao Yao, come up.”
Xiao Yao was still hesitating, but he was bumped by someone passing behind him. He took one foot out half a step and then couldn’t take it back.
He leaned on Bai Ju’s back and in the next second, he was caught by Bai Ju. The legs were then firmly lifted up.
Xiao Yao buried his face in Bai Ju’s thick hair and took a deep breath. He kept telling himself that it was better than being held in a princess hug or riding on his neck.
Bai Ju bumped the little guardian on his back and said: “Lie still… if you are squeezed, hug my neck.”
Xiao Yao didn’t say anything. He held Bai Ju’s shoulders with both hands and lowered his eyes slightly. He could see a few thin strands of disobedient hair sticking out of Bai Ju’s hair. It was a little messy, but also a little cute.
Looking at his little guardian on his back, Bai Ju was a little happy, but he quickly stopped smiling and turned to look at the parade.
The cars with the most exaggerated models and costumes had passed by, but there were also many spectators in the back row; those who were about to come. There were people performing close-up magic on one car.
Seats for the close-up magic show on Turtle Island’s floats were very popular because during the float parade, all tourists who did not violate the regulations or intentionally caused trouble were theoretically allowed to get on the car to cooperate with the magic or tricks. Therefore, although there would be a certain degree of control measures on the scene, the magicians on the parade must also be flexible to deal with various challenges.
Gradually, the Turtle Island float magic had become a medal in the magic world. If a magician could gain recognition by performing here and recording live videos, his status in the magic world would also be improved.
Bai Ju was still a little interested in magic. These performers had very fast hands. Such that during a few of the movements, the magicians could firmly grab the attention of the audience without being spotted; such that even an old monster like Bai Ju was often confused.
After following the magic car for a while, Bai Ju could easily move among the crowd. He shuttled back and forth at a steady pace; after watching a magic trick with curiosity, he turned his head slightly and expressed his thoughts to Xiao Yao: “Yao Yao, that magic is so interesting…”
Xiao Yao brushed the hair on Bai Ju’s head and straightened the thread, but it was blocked in front of Bai Ju’s eyes, so he quickly dialed it back: “…Huh? magic?”
Bai Ju blew his forehead hair and didn’t care that Xiao Yao was messing with his head: “It’s just magical. I can’t see how it’s done.”
Xiao Yao smiled: “The charm of magic lies here. If you see through all its mechanisms, it will be meaningless. Magicians work hard to create magic for people just to see their surprise and happiness.”
Bai Ju nodded thoughtfully, then lifted Xiao Yao up with one hand, freed up the other hand, and snapped his fingers: “Then I’ll do a ‘magic’ too.”
A few tiny points of light drifted from Bai Ju’s slender fingertips, and suddenly drifted away when no one was paying attention. They meandered away with the parade of floats, spreading into a field of fireflies, rising and falling among the night lights. Wow.
There were several exclamations among the tourists, and many people hurriedly raised their mobile phones to take pictures, thinking it was the arrangement of the parade.
Xiao Yao looked at the distant fireflies and admired Bai Ju’s ability to be romantic at every turn.
Gently tugging on Bai Ju’s hair, Xiao Yao smiled, his voice filled with indescribable tenderness: “Brother Bai, magic?
Bai Ju tilted his head and knew that he was making a fool of himself by pretending to be a magician, so he said with a smile: “Just pretend it is.”
Xiao Yao knocked Bai Ju on the head: “You can also tell lies.”
Bai Ju raised his head and imitated Xiao Yao to change the subject: “Yao Yao, it hurts, please rub it.”
Xiao Yao pretended not to remember: “Where did I just knock? Where does it hurt?”
Bai Ju actually didn’t pay attention to where Xiao Yao hit just now. For him, the force of pulling his hair and hitting his head was not much different. He was stunned for a moment and then continued to lie to the end: “Well…everywhere hurts.”
Xiao Yao purred in a funny way: “Okay, I’ve rubbed it all.”
Bai Ju blocked a few strands of hair in front of his eyes, shook his head and shook it away, and said more aggressively: “Rubbing doesn’t work anymore, I need a kiss.”
Xiao Yao paused for a moment, wanting to ask if this old white dog knew what he was talking about.
But he didn’t want to ask these questions. Maybe he was a little greedy, so Xiao Yao licked his lips and stopped teasing. He simply lowered his head and kissed Bai Ju’s forehead.
Bai Ju was satisfied: “Hey.”
Silly dog.
The heat on Xiao Yao’s cheeks couldn’t go away, so he could only keep his mouth shut and turn to look at the parade of floats.
At this glance, Xiao Yao noticed that the accompanying actors next to the float team started to take out flower baskets, so he quickly patted Bai Ju on the shoulder and reminded: “Brother Bai, they are starting to scatter flowers and gold coins.”
Bai Ju came to his senses and realized that he had just been busy talking to Xiao Yao, just relying on instinct to shuttle among the crowd, not paying attention to the float convoy; so he held Xiao Yao in both hands and said: “I’m going over.”
The nimble dog just said this and started showing his strength. He kept staring at the flower baskets and moving purposefully. In a few moments, he found the place where the flower candies were most concentrated.
“Yao Yao, come and pick it up.” Bai Ju stared at the opera singer standing on the roof of the tallest float. The basket in her hand was the largest and she was located “seven inches” from the motorcade. Bai Ju intuitively felt that the basket would have a lot of gold coins inside, at least a batch.
Xiao Yao looked around and saw that several children who were traveling with their parents were lifted up to pick up candies. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed: “Put me down to pick up…”
Bai Ju turned his head and obviously saw it too. With this, his eyes lit up and he muttered: “This is a good idea…”
So, Old Dog Bai squatted down and put Xiao Yao down. Before Xiao Yao could breathe a sigh of relief, he turned around again, held his palms together, and relaxedly held Xiao Yao’s ribs loosely and lifted him up: “Yao Yao, it’s easier to catch them this way!”
Xiao Yao’s face turned red: “Put me down!”
Bai Ju selectively ignored Xiao Yao’s appeal, lifted the person up high again, and urged: “Hurry up, hurry up!”
Xiao Yao felt that he was too embarrassed to see others, so he raised his foot and stepped on Bai Ju’s belly in retaliation, but then accepting his fate, he picked up his own straw hat hanging on the back of his neck, raised his hand and caught the spilled things four or five times. When he felt that the hat was almost full, he urged Bai Ju to let go: “Okay, okay, okay, let me down.”
Bai Ju raised his neck and said, “First check if there are any gold coins.”
Xiao Yao said angrily: “…”
Xiao Yao wiped his face and had to check the things in the hat, then he suddenly paused.
Bai Ju raised his face with difficulty: “Are there any? If not, continue to pick it up…”
Xiao Yao picked out two gold coins with the pattern of Turtle Island on them. He was in a daze: “Yes, I got two coins in my basket.”
Bai Ju held Xiao Yao’s back with one hand, put him down, and shook him happily: “Hey, two, one extra, I think I can sell it for money.”
Isn’t this old white dog very good at mathematics? Why is there one extra?
Xiao Yao raised the gold coins and waved them in front of Bai Ju’s eyes: “Brother, there are only two of them. We can use them just right.”
Bai Ju blinked: “The travel strategy says that if you can bring your family members, no more than three people can enter with one gold coin.”
Old Dog Bai raised his hand, tapped Xiao Yao’s nose, and reminded: “Let me introduce you, this is Yao Yao, my little guardian.”
The author has something to say:

Xiao Yao: Let me introduce to you, this is Bai Ju, I am the old attacker. 🙂
