To say that I have experienced all kinds of strange and difficult things this year, first the rag doll spoke, then Liu Xiaoliu who landed on the ground first, the three-eyed monster Yang Jian, and the red spider who spewed spider silk from the belly button, but today's events really scared me, a dog spoke - wait, it said it was the year?

Everyone in the house heard someone talking at the door, and Yang Jian said, "The dog owner is here?" ”

I sneered, "Uh...... No, it's the dogs themselves......"

The beast that called himself Nian strode in, and said dissatisfiedly: "I said that I am not a dog, I am Nian!" ”

Everyone was also taken aback by this situation, and Liu Xiaoliu was the first to say blankly: "Year? ”

The beast frowned and emphasized, "That's right, Nian! It added, "What day is it?" ”

Without waiting for me to speak, Lu Dongbin suddenly said: "Oh--you are a New Year beast for the New Year?" ”

The Nian Beast was dissatisfied: "Yes, you are living today with me!" ”

I also patted my thigh and said, "I didn't think it was you!" "The so-called New Year, over is a verb, this is a verb-object structure of the phrase, about the origin of the year, everyone more or less have an understanding, according to legend, in ancient times there was a beast named Nian who harmed people everywhere, the temperament was extremely ferocious, and later someone accidentally found that this monster was afraid of three things - red, fire, loud noise, so people lit a fire in the open place, burned the empty bamboo to make a burst sound, posted a red couplet at the door of the house, the year beast fled in terror, people won a great victory for the rest of their lives, and began to visit relatives and friends to visit each other after rejoicingThis day has become a festive day, which is also the origin of the New Year. I never expected that on Chinese New Year's Eve, this legendary beast would actually come to our house. There's a witty saying "You take me as a Sunday", and now it's good, I came on Sunday.

Liu Xiaoliu lowered his body and looked at the Nian Beast, and laughed: "You look like this?" How can you speak human words? ”

I wondered, "Haven't you seen it in heaven before?" ”

Liu Xiaoliu shook his head: "We are not too young, and besides, it's like you people living in the city have never seen a Tibetan mastiff." She stretched out her hand to touch the curly hair on the head of the Nian Beast, but the Nian Beast shook its head vigorously and said, "Be respectful!" ”

Liu Xiaoliu covered his mouth and smiled: "The temper is quite big." ”

I squatted in front of the Nian Beast and said, "This ...... What should I call you, brother, how did you come to us? ”

Still frowning, the Nian Beast said, "Isn't this what you call a tradition?" Of course I have to come to the world for a trip during the Chinese New Year, otherwise how will you spend it? ”

I whispered, "Oh, it's like sending the king of the stove on the twenty-third day of the lunar month." ”

The year beast said: "You close the door first, it's noisy!" "It's the time when the firecrackers are at their hottest, and the hallways are full of echoes.

I closed the door and said, "Are you really afraid of the sound of the cannon?" ”

Nian Beast said: "I just like to be quiet!" "It's a tough mouth, and anyone can tell that it has a distinct fear of loud sounds.

Lu Dongbin said: "You haven't answered the question yet, how did you get here?" ”

Nian Beast said: "I smelled that you seem to have the same kind of Heavenly Realm here, but I didn't expect that there really are." ”

Yang Jian scratched his head and said, "Smell? Similar? Do you mean the Howling Dog? "It seems that Lu Dongbin and Yang Jian are not familiar with the Nian Beast either.

The Nian Beast said angrily: "I'm talking about you! Again, I'm not a dog! ”

We exchanged glances with each other, and we couldn't help but laugh a little, and we all roughly guessed what happened - the Nian Beast, as a tradition of the Great Chinese New Year's Eve, descended from the heavenly realm, and the wolf fled in the sound of firecrackers, and accidentally discovered the storage of Yang Jian and the others, because they were barely half of the same kind, so they rushed in in a panic.

I asked it, "Is the legend true?" ”

The Nian Beast said: "What do you mean? ”

"You eat people, why don't people treat you?" Now let's talk about the New Year is a happy thing, but if the legend is true, it means that the purpose of people doing this back then was to protect themselves to intimidate and arm exercises, and if the New Year Beast really has bad habits, I have to make sure that I am safe first......

The Nian Beast said helplessly: "Half-truth, back then, I just went into the village and ate two chickens, and they beat gongs and drums to scare me, and then they all developed like this, and humans are too boring." "To be honest, a dog-like monster always makes people feel like it's a joke, and it always feels like its owner is talking to you. According to what it said, it was nothing more than doing something like a weasel, but people didn't have much knowledge at that meeting, and there should be no holidays at that meeting, Qu Yuan hadn't jumped into the river yet, and there was no Mid-Autumn Festival, so he urgently needed to have a day to celebrate with the whole world, so there was a New Year's Day.

I said, "Then I apologize to you on behalf of humanity." "The year beast is also very wronged, so long has passed, and the most solemn festival of the Chinese is actually to ridicule the failures of others back then, and it will be thousands of years since it opened.

The Nian Beast squatted on the ground and looked around, not knowing if it was an apology for me.

I asked, "Are you going to eat or drink?" How can I seem nice to you? ”

The young beast looked up at me: "What do you have to eat here?" ”

There are all kinds of fruits and melon seed candy at home, but I thought to myself that a master who steals chickens is probably not interested in these, and I swept my eyes and found the dog basin of the roaring dog, I scooped a bowl of dog food with a bowl and put it in front of the year beast and said, "You try this?" ”

The Nian Beast said reservedly: "What is this? ”

"This ...... It is a local food. "I don't know how to introduce it, because it seems that the Nian Beast still minds about being mistaken for a dog, so I can't mention the word dog food.

The Nian Beast lowered its head and sniffed, apparently soon became interested in dog food, and ate a bowl of dog food in two gulps, and the Howling Sky Dog took a few steps forward very angrily, and I quickly grabbed it and whispered: "People are guests from afar, you must know how to be humble." ”

Everyone laughed and watched the Nian beast gobble, and Liu Xiaoliu laughed and said, "I also said that I am not a dog." ”

After eating a bowl, the beast looked up at me and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes, yes, there is enough to eat." I'm busy filling it up.

The year beast nodded politely: "You eat too." ”

I hurriedly waved my hand: "No need to see outside." ”

The Nian Beast ate another bowl of dog food, lay on the ground and said, "I'll leave later." ”

Lu Dongbin muttered in a low voice: "I want to leave after eating our two bowls of dog food, it's not so cheap." ”

Yang Jian also whispered: "Then what do you mean?" The meat of this thing is not tasty, is it? Besides, let's eat it, and people won't have a New Year in the future? ”

Lu Dongbin suddenly asked the Nian Beast: "Brother Nian, your nose should be very smart, right?" ”

The Nian Beast said vigilantly, "What do you want to say?" ”

Lu Dongbin said: "I want to ask you for a favor, not long ago, there was a Pixiu with us, and then it disappeared, can you help us find it?" "Let's get excited together, yes, if we can find Pippi with the help of the Nian Beast, wouldn't it be a powerful blow to the demon clan?

The Nian Beast tilted its head and said, "Pixiu? ”

Lu Dongbin said: "I think since you can find us through the smell, then it is not difficult to find the head Pixiu, right?" ”

Nian Beast said: "Pixiu has a copper smell on this kind of thing, it should not be difficult to find, but why should I help you?" ”

Li Jing said: "You ate us-"

Lu Dongbin hurriedly gagged his mouth and said with a smile: "You came to us to explain that you treat us as friends, and we don't see you, when we were in the heavenly realm, we also admired your name for a long time, and I didn't expect to meet in the world, this can be regarded as fate." ”

Nian Beast said: "I have to go back before the time of Yin, now I just want to find a place to be quiet, don't bother me." ”

Yang Jian rolled up his sleeves and got up and said, "You-"

I motioned for him to sit down, and took out a neck bell and said: "Brother Nian, the first time we meet, this is a meeting gift, I'm really sorry to trouble you when we come, but we have no other way, at this time you appear We have to be presumptuous if you appear, you are the savior given to us by God!" "The neck bell I bought for the Howling Sky Dog, but the Howling Sky Dog has been unwilling to wear it because it is in the way, I tied it around the neck of the Nian Beast, dialed the bell, and touched the top of its head by the way, the Nian Beast twisted its neck comfortably, and then made a reluctant look and said: "For your sake, then I'll give it a try, I can't guarantee if it can be done." ”

"Great!" Together, we stood up and prepared to go.

The Nian Beast suddenly frowned and glared at us suspiciously, "You won't treat me like a dog, will you?" ”

We looked at each other and shook our heads, then babbled in flattering words......

Only then did the Nian Beast walk to the door and say, "Let's go, we don't have much time." ”
