www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Jin Yi Sha!
The end of the year is here, and the sound of firecrackers can be heard all over the city.
The sound of firecrackers in Xiaomiao Town urges the year to move forward. Every household has put on a new peach charm, and naturally the door **** is inevitable. Normally, after working hard for a year, only on this day would they be able to relax and buy food. There are always three or five children laughing and playing in the alley, chasing each other and grabbing that simple piece of sesame candy, and the town is submerged in a festive atmosphere.
Liu Mu smiled and handed a piece of candy to the little slug. He looked at the child with uneven teeth, a surprised smile on his face, and he felt inexplicably cheerful. The children who had the unexpected surprise tried their best to show off the candy in their hands to other friends. Until all the children were envious, they pointed at Liu Mu, who had straightened up and was coughing, as if to explain the origin of the candy.
After a while, the cough was no longer audible. Liu Mu waved to the children gathered not far away. When they approached timidly, he took out a handful of candies from his arms and distributed them to each of them one by one. He was still muttering at the same time: "Tomorrow morning we will go to Fenglin Night, that is the inn." Liu Mu pointed not far behind him, and then in the confusion of the children, he said: "I will give you lucky money!"
The children ran away with joy. Liu Mu closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the aroma of wine and meat that came with the cold wind. There was still a faint remnant of the children's laughter in his ears. He felt that happiness is just that simple, not as described by the poet. Shen Yuan is right there waiting for you. Such a life is good and fulfilling!
After all, the inn did not recruit any more people. In Tieqi's words, there were too many people now and there was no need to bother. Sanjin's two-knife cook, in addition to stewing meat and roasting meat, can only make some noodles now, and the taste can only be said to be taste. Considering that a group of old men really didn't know how to make delicious food, Liu Mu had already asked Tie Qi to spend some silver to make some at the homes of residents in the town.
Someone rang the New Year's Eve bell in the town. When the nine bells rang, the iron flag dragged the drunken men out of the inn and lit a bonfire to burn firecrackers. The crackling sound was trembling for a moment, and rare warmth appeared on everyone's face, smiling as silly as a child.
…………
The cold wind was blowing wildly on the earth, and the first snow of the new year finally fell, like a girl in a painting boat on the Huaihe River, so covert that it made people's hearts ache. I don’t know where Tie Qi learned this move. He greeted the others and stuck out their tongues into the void. If he was lucky and a snowflake fell on the tip of his tongue, he would jump around for a long time, maintaining a stiff posture, and showed it to the others. Follow your own harvest. Liu Mu looked at the others guiltily, and when he saw that no one noticed him, he secretly stuck out his tongue and tried it. The wind was very cold, and the cold tip of his tongue stung, but the expectation in his heart always rushed into his mind inexplicably, making him unable to help but try again and again.
Stone with a deserted face was always paying attention to Liu Mu's movements. When he saw Liu Mu sticking out his tongue like a heavenly dog to catch the scattered snowflakes, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with such an action, nor did he ruin the relationship that had always been there. The divine image in his mind. Instead, his throat couldn't help but feel itchy and uncomfortable. He wished he could control all the falling snow in the sky and land on Liu Mu's tongue.
After working hard for a long time, Liu Mu finally let a snowflake fall on the tip of his tongue. He held his breath forcibly for fear of disturbing the snowflake that he finally caught. His face turned red from holding back, and he felt a cough in his chest. "Ahem..." The crystal snowflakes were finally disturbed and fell to the ground. Tie Qi and others burst into laughter when they saw this, until Liu Mu made a serious face.
Playfulness As the snow became lighter and lighter, as midnight approached, everyone happily returned to the inn and started drinking together all night long. Liu Mu was a little energetic and asked Tie Qi to prepare some copper coins for him. , returned to the room alone, leaving the others there to make a fuss.
At this time, the entire small temple town fell into silence. Except for the swaying lanterns in front of the door, the only person walking outside was Bai Xue. However, someone happened to violate this habit. A person walked far away on the snow. His bright red robe seemed to have been soaked in blood, and it was so red. His face was green with a lifeless look, and his yellow eyes were as distinct as those of a cobra, cold-blooded. The steps falling on the snow layer were neither urgent nor slow, and the footprints were faint and hard to see clearly. When he walked outside the evening gate of Fenglin, he stopped and thought for a few minutes, then walked towards the alley in the distance again, without any worries!
…………
Liu Mu is a man of great promise, not to mention the children he promised. Wearing a thick cotton coat, he stood at the door of the inn early in the morning, with a smile and a bit of anticipation on his face, just like his parents who were looking forward to returning home. The hands rubbing each other showed that he was still a little nervous. Until he saw three or two children emerging from the alley.
"Here! I'm here!" Liu Mu waved to the running children with a flushed face, and couldn't wait to take out a lot of copper coins from his arms. When the children came closer, they were like children giving away money. They gave two or three copper coins to everyone, and kept saying: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, everyone has it." Seeing that everyone got the copper coins Finally, there was still a lot left in my hand.
"Uncle, Happy New Year!"
……
The neat New Year's greetings made Liu Mule's head stand upright. He couldn't help but hold his hands up without any image, and said with a grin: "Happy New Year, Happy New Year..." When the children walked back, Liu Mu scanned them again. Taking a look at the remaining copper coins in his hand, he stopped a child and asked: "Child, wait a minute, uncle, can I ask you something?"
The last child hid the hand holding the copper coin behind his back with a wary expression, as if he was afraid that Liu Mu would regret it. Liu Mu once again took out a copper coin from his hand and handed it to him in the air: "Uncle will give you another one. Can you tell uncle something?" After the child shrank and approached, he asked: "Why?" It's just you guys, where are the other children? "It turns out he was wondering. Yesterday afternoon, he told many children that they would be receiving lucky money today. Could it be that they forgot to sleep or did not believe what he said?
When the child heard Liu Mu's question, he said: "There were deaths in the town last night, and they didn't dare to go out." That depressed tone was probably because there were fewer playmates.
After Liu Mu praised the child for being brave and being a real man, he rewarded him with a copper coin again, and then the child jumped back happily. Confused, Liu Mu turned around and entered the inn. He kept shaking his head and murmured: "It is really unlucky for people to die during the year of celebration."
Tie Qi, who was busy serving dumplings, saw Liu Mu shaking his head and asked curiously: "Master, what happened?"
"Just now a child said that someone died in the town, and I don't know what happened." Liu Mu rubbed his hands that were red from the cold, sat down at the table, and said to Iron Banner.
"Oh? It's really unlucky to celebrate the New Year." Tie Qi also shook his head, handed the chopsticks to Liu Mu's hand, and then said: "No matter what, let's eat the dumplings first, and I'll go take a look after dinner!"
After Liu Mu nodded, he stopped worrying about the matter. He lowered his head and ate the dumplings with plenty of ingredients, dipping them in the vinegar dish from time to time, as if he was savoring the New Year's weather.
