Chapter 63: Chinese New Year's Eve
Before night fell, bonfires had been lit outside the camp.
The campfire, made of dried pine branches, nearly a meter high, burned with the peculiar smell of pine, and the prepared game was quickly set on the fire, and the smell of fat mixed with meat soon spread throughout the camp.
Because they had applied in advance, the camp guards did not stop them, but most of them looked at them coldly and did not approach.
Most of the teams don't kill monsters at night, at six or seven o'clock, more and more players come back, and many small fires are lit next to the big bonfire, illuminating the night outside the camp like day, a bright one, even the NPC civilians who have been clearly distinguishing from the players in recent times are watching nearby, and there are even children who run to the campfire to probe their brains, and are nervously scolded back by their parents.
They saw that those adventurers who usually came and went in a hurry and always looked at them with strange eyes were noisy and shouting, smiling and greeting each other, and there was a mutual greeting of "Happy Chinese New Year's Eve", "Congratulations" and "New Year" everywhere.
The young children were bouncing through the crowd, greeting the adults one by one, and in a short time their hands were stuffed with oily skewers and their pockets were full of copper.
The smoke and fire drove away the cold of the winter night, and the singing and laughter in front of them seemed to isolate the monsters outside and the unknown future from another world, and people indulged themselves and did not think about the monsters that would come tomorrow, as if they were enjoying tonight as if it were their last night.
In this case, the inaugural minstrel player is the natural centerpiece.
They usually cast spells with their singing voices and musical instruments to bless themselves and their companions. Boost morale, or create illusions for monsters to charm enemies, so singing and playing are their basic skills, and after taking up this class, even players who are originally incomplete will be able to sing smoothly by improving their skill expertise.
Usually there are bard performances outside the camp, attracting crowds, and they certainly can't miss occasions like the Chinese New Year's Eve party. Because if you can get praise from many people. Bard's skills such as acting, singing, etc., have a good chance of improving, and this is already a public message on the forum.
Soon a bard with a flute and a harmonica walked into a circle of people and sang loudly, which gradually evolved into different musical instruments of bards working together. Or even a competition. It attracted bursts of applause.
As the atmosphere gradually rises. Others also let go a lot and began to sing and dance in the crowd, proposing to do all kinds of small games.
Thousands of players gradually split into a dozen circles. There are frequent people walking around the circle, exchanging food with each other.
The largest circle is the one where the Anning team is located.
They formed a circle of four or five hundred people, and three large bonfires and two small fires were lit in the middle, the small fires were filled with small prey such as roe deer and rabbits, and on the large bonfires were two wild boars, two bison and three elk, and more than 20 people were sweating and barbecuing around the fire, and the roaring fire reflected the smiling faces of the performers and the audience.
When Ye Ningning arrived, Yu Danyi happened to be on the stage, and she sang with Quan Qing and another girl Ye Ningning didn't know.
"Don't ask me where I'm from.
My hometown is far away.
Why wandering,
Wandering far away~
Wandering ......"
The girl's voice was clear, distant, and the faint melancholy melody touched people's mood in the here and now, and they couldn't help but immerse themselves in memories and nostalgia, thinking of the lost home, separated relatives, and the comfortable and peaceful life replaced by blood and fire, and many people's eyes gradually turned red.
Ye Ningning came to the back of the crowd at this time, and Yu Danyi, who was playing the flute, saw her and winked at her gently.
Maybe the bonfire was too warm, or maybe it was because of the atmosphere, Ye Ningning replied with a faint smile.
The scene in front of her was somewhat familiar, and she vaguely remembered that in which year in her previous life, there had been such a warm fire, and there had been these celebratory crowds, and there seemed to be more joy and happiness flowing in her heart.
But what year, who, and where, Ye Ningning couldn't remember clearly.
Happiness is always alike.
Ye Ningning usually doesn't like to stay in a crowded place, because the more people there are, the more variables and unknowns.
Even if it is a team like the Anning team, Ye Ningning doesn't like to have more contact with them, the more people interact with each other, the more they are involved, the easier it is to rely on, Ye Ningning does not allow himself to be softened by warmth and comfort.
But at this moment, Ye Ningning couldn't help but relax, sitting in the crowd, holding a skewer of roast venison.
The venison was given by Xie Xianfei, who had just been taken off the bonfire, and was still bubbling with oil.
Xie Xianfei was cutting a piece of roe deer hind leg meat on a wooden board next to her, chattering to Ye Chenghe while cutting:
“…… It's a pity that there is so much oil, if we collect it, it will be enough for us to use for a day or two. ”
"For the Chinese New Year, you are too bad for the scenery, just a little oil, it would be good to buy it. ”
Do you know how much oil you more than 100 people use every day? If we don't squeeze the oil ourselves, we can make you poor just because we buy oil!"
"Yes, yes, Madame, you and a group of women cook for us every day......
"Go, go, what kind of mouth is poor, where is the child......"
Ye Chenghe was brought back with a smile, and seeing that Ye Ningning was still eating barbecue a little bit, he patted her and said, "Why don't you go and play with Yu Danyi and them?"
"I don't want to move. Ye Ningning said vaguely.
Ye Chenghe felt that Ye Ningning seemed to have removed an invisible shell, and the invisible indifference in his usual expression seemed to have disappeared, and he was relieved:
"That's right! The strings in my heart have been tightened, and sooner or later they will break, and only then can we go further. ”
Ye Ningning nodded slowly.
She hadn't eaten normal food for many years, and this barbecue seemed to be a little better than she expected.
"Hey, where did you get the wine?"
Ye Chenghe saw an iron kettle next to Ye Ningning's leg, he didn't pay attention at first, picked it up and shook it, pulled out the lid and smelled it, and there was a strong aroma of wine, only to realize that it was a spirit.
"Karl gave it. ”
Carl and Du Qinghuai have already come, and the gift Carl brought is the spirit "Snow in the Fire".
This wine is the signature of a tavern in Camp Shenhui, and can be temporarily blessed with a "drunk" status with +5% critical strike chance for 10 minutes.
Of course, the price is also very expensive, 20 gold a pot, limited every day.
Ye Chenghe knew about this wine, but he hadn't drunk it, so he picked it up and put it down.
Ye Ningning said: "You can take it, I don't need it." ”
Ye Chenghe took it diligently and took out two red envelopes folded with red paper.
"Ning Ning, come, I and your Aunt Xie's New Year's money! bless you with peace and security in the coming year!"
Ye Ningning looked at the red envelope stuffed into his hand, a little dazed:
It turns out that she still has red envelopes to receive!
(To be continued)(To be continued......
PS: In the last days, it should be the happiest thing to be able to get the New Year's money from the elders...... This time finally made up for one of Ning Ning's shortcomings.
I'm a little tired today, and I have more wood at night (top pot escape~)
