Fifteenth Chinese New Year's Eve

The three snowmen completely melted, leaving only a pile of small Xiaoice on the ground, and it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the New Year was about to begin. The snow on the mountains has almost melted, and the muddy roads are slippery and not very easy to walk.

Wu Yueya was walking towards Jingzhou City at this time, because she sold some rice in the Du family, this heavy snow closed the mountain month smoothly.

When I came to Jingzhou City, it was very lively, there were rich children with servants and maids going out to visit friends, and some women from the Red Silk House were accompanied by their companions to visit the shops in the Fang City, buying some new clothes and new jewelry.

Wu Yueya also saw businessmen who carried fireworks and firecrackers, and there were many of them, and they usually didn't see these businessmen, but in the future, they will be active.

Walked in front of a merchant carrying a burden, bought some dried bamboo, and listened to this businessman's introduction, this is firecrackers, or is it made of small tobacco bamboo, Wu Yueya is most interested in the gunpowder inside, if this thing is used in weapons, I don't know if I can innovate weapons equipped with these things.

Firecrackers, firecrackers, as the name suggests, are shells made of bamboo, with gunpowder inside. Go to Shopkeeper Zhao first to buy some sauce vinegar, these seasonings have long been used up.

Came to Gujia Restaurant. A big wine word is written on the wine flag next to the building, and the flag flutters in the wind, rattling in the wind of the new year.

The restaurant is overcrowded, probably because of the melting snow, and there are quite a lot of people who come out to feast with friends, drink and eat meat, probably because of the heavy snow this month.

Seeing the busy shopkeeper Zhao, he explained his intentions, and got some sauce, vinegar, salt and rice used in the store, Wu Yueya paid as usual, and she could have bought it in other stores, but it was cheaper to come to Zhao's store, they were all acquaintances, and it was easy to talk.

However, Gu Yi, the head of the Gu family, was upstairs, and when he heard that Wu Yueya was coming, he happily called Wu Yueya up, chatted for a while, and sent the shopkeeper to take a goose and a peach charm and a bag of dried bamboo for Wu Yueya to take back for the New Year.

Wu Yue Ayaxin said that I just bought a bag of firecrackers, and you sent so much.

Until Wu Yueya left, the young white shopkeeper who shared a table with Gu Yi was a little puzzled, "Why does Gu Gong care so much about this little lady?" This woman is beautiful, but she is not a stunning woman. ”

"The white shopkeeper doesn't know, this woman is not comparable to the rouge vulgar powder of ordinary people, although she has lost some weight, but she is also a flower and moon, and more importantly, my family likes benevolence and righteousness, and she is a filial person. When I first saw her, I just thought it was an ordinary girl, but I knew that this woman was quick and knowledgeable, and if she was righteous and married in the future, it would also help us to develop to a higher place. ”

"What Gu Gong said is understood, if there is anything in the Gu family that needs my help, I will definitely go to the soup! Do everything in one's power! ”

Wu Yueya walked on the street, looking at groups of people, some of them were going to other residences with the bride price, and some were blocking their way, yes, blocking her way.

"Yo, it's very hard for this little lady to catch this goose, our brothers are just idle, so it's better to serve the little lady!"

Wu Yueya looked at these people, dressed like an official, but it didn't look like an official's mansion, recalling, this should be the Wuhou who was quite dissatisfied with the mouth of the shopkeeper. Wu Yueya was a little speechless, this was a rogue city manager.

"Hmmm! See! There are aliens! ”

Wu Yue Aya pretended to be surprised, looked behind these Wu Hou, and pointed to the sky and snorted. These Wuhou originally planned to snatch the goose in Wu Yueya's hand, and some of them were thieves, and they were so startled by Wu Yueya, and hurriedly looked behind them.

Wu Yueya took the opportunity to turn around and run, and it was okay to say that there was a robbery on the street, and Wu Yueya really didn't know how to deal with it, so she ran away directly after fooling people.

When these Wuhou came back to their senses and found that they had been deceived, Wu Yueya had already turned a street, and when these Wuhou caught up, they were already submerged in the flow of people and could not find a trace, and the white and big goose was not grabbed, but was tricked, and a few Wuhou who were full of resentment had to find other soft persimmons to pinch.

Wu Yueya shook off these annoying Wuhou and walked to the city gate, where she found a burly and beard-looking guy with a mace on his back entering the city gate. The man walked and swayed, his pointed hat looked very tall, his snort was heavy, and his lapel coat looked very domineering.

Wu Yueya cast a curious gaze and found that the mace on this person's back was engraved with the word 'righteousness', and said that she had never seen such a person in Jingzhou City before, or a person dressed like this.

Wu Yueya was carrying a small bag of rice, holding a big goose in her left hand, some sauce and vinegar seasoning in her right hand, and a string of firecrackers on her waist, passing by this person, Wu Yueya suddenly felt the pressure, this guy should be close to one meter nine, swinging past him like a mountain, Wu Yueya remembered that her height as a college student was only a little more than one meter seven.

Back in the village, it was still early, and I went to the mountains to collect firewood, but they were all some wet branches, Wu Yueya remembered that the Xiahou clan's firewood was obtained by Zhang Fei during the Three Kingdoms, and she was directly caught home as a wife, but she was entertaining herself and fantasized about what kind of rabbit she had gotten, anyway, she wouldn't catch someone to be a wife, even if she was caught, she would rather die.

At night, Wu Yueya took a tactical flashlight and dismantled the firecrackers in her hand, there was no gunpowder in it at all, just an empty bamboo, isn't this deceived, my obedient, I still want to study gunpowder. If you open the firecrackers sent by the Gu family, it is the same, it is an empty section of dried bamboo!

The little lynx looked at the flashlight that glowed white, and was very curious, and touched it with his paw, and the flashlight rolled on the ground, and then retreated in horror, thinking that it was a living thing.

Wu Yueya looked at the mischievous appearance of the little lynx, picked up the flashlight, clamped it around her neck, and at the same time struck the flint, lit the matches on the ground, and lit the fire to keep warm. When the little lynx saw the flames, she jumped and hid in the nest.

On the second day, the New Year, the village also began to be lively, killing pigs and slaughtering pigs, slaughtering sheep slaughtering sheep, and the Zhao family went down to the river to catch fish, and the harvest was not small.

In this morning alone, Wu Yueya received many gifts, pork and mutton, and half a fish from Zhao Lucha's snot child. The village has a strong New Year's flavor, and children are happy and play everywhere in the village.

Wu Yueya lit a bonfire at noon, threw the dried bamboo into it, and the crackling was very lively, and the children gathered over, some covered their ears, and some jumped around the bonfire with the sound of firecrackers.

After the crackling firecrackers, Wu Yueya helped Lu's mother to go to every house to pay New Year's greetings, and said some auspicious congratulations, and the atmosphere was also very harmonious. Everyone is a poor family, so they didn't give any gifts, but some people will return some peanuts and beans as gifts to Lu's mother, Wu Yueya said thank you and took it, especially those villagers who received Wu Yueya's favor in winter, all said that the little lady of the Lu family is very smart and kind, if it weren't for her to buy rice and then lend it to the people who lack rice in the village, these people are afraid that they will starve for the winter.

After the New Year's greetings, the afternoon passed quickly, there were nearly 30 families in the village, each family had more than four or five people, less than two people, everyone looked up and did not look down to see, and it was also appropriate to help each other.

Chinese New Year's Eve came, because when Wu Yueya set off firecrackers before, it attracted many children to watch, but the two children Ah Ya and Archie came late and did not see the firecracker explosion, Wu Yueya said that there were firecrackers at night, and now several curious children gathered at the door of Wu Yueya's house, looking forward to the sound of firecrackers in the bonfire.

Wu Yueya held the torch, took out the bamboo sent by the Gu family, put it on the ground, and asked Ah Ya to come over and set off the firecrackers, Ah Ya was too timid to come and put it, Ah Qi was bold, took the torch and lit the bonfire, and threw the firecrackers into it one by one, making a crackling sound, which was very lively.

Boom, the underground bonfire sounded the sound of explosion, the bonfire splashed small sparks, an auspicious scene came into the eyes of the children, and also into Wu Yueya's heart, this is the first time she has lived a serious year in the past, she no longer feels lonely, helpless or afraid.

Mother Lu looked at the sparks that burst out on the bonfire in the open space, and hoped that Lu Ziji would be able to gain fame and come back safely. Many people in the village also poked their heads out of the windows and looked at the big bonfire in front of Lu's house, hoping for a good harvest in the coming year.

The sound of firecrackers in Jingzhou City is also full of sky, and the sound of firecrackers can be heard from afar. Chinese New Year's Eve passed in the sound of firecrackers. Wu Yueya was about to go into the house to sleep, but there was a little coldness on her face, as if it was snowing again.

Yu Chiyang fed Yu Chi Tuo and drank porridge, and his brother curled up in fright when he heard the sound of dried bamboo exploding in the fire for some reason, and his mouth was muttering about the immortal's life.

How could the cautious and bold brother in the past become like this, not only Yu Chiyang was puzzled, but more importantly, the burly man standing next to him was also puzzled.

This man is wearing a lapel coat, a bearded hat, and a long mace on his back, which is the lord of the righteous gathering village known as the little king of Yama, Yan wolf.

"How could your brother become like this, he cowered like a mouse when he heard a sound, alas, it's a pity, he was originally a man!" Yan Wolf watched as Yu Chi Tuo hid his head in the bed, his body trembling outside exposed.

"I don't know, since my brother came back from Shili Village, he has been like this, and he has been shouting for ghosts and gods to spare his life during his coma, I'm afraid that I haven't encountered something filthy! After the master of Dazhai completed the task of the Cui family, I invited a few Taoist priests to exorcise evil spirits for my brother. ”

"Well, so-and-so went out first!" After saying that, Yan Wolf walked out.

In the outer courtyard of Cui's house, more than 200 vicious bandits gathered, who were drinking wine and eating meat, and happily celebrating the New Year.

Cui Lie, the head of the Cui family, sat with Yan Wolf and Han Wuyi in the chief, and several geisha in the Red Silk Building sang on the piano beside them, and the bonfire was lit rubbish, although it was very lively, but in fact, the Cui family was smoky, these people were bandits in the mountains, robbing money at light, killing people and setting fires, and they were basically full of evil.

Jiro is sick in bed and has become an idiot. In order to continue the future, Cui Lie forced the eldest son to take a concubine and the third son to marry.

Dalang Cui Hao accepted a maidservant girl in the family as a concubine a few days ago, and San Lang Cui Sheng got married. No, on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the Cui family opened a happy event, and Cui Lie also wanted to use the happy event to wash away the bad luck of the old year and usher in a new atmosphere.

Moreover, a few days ago, when the government cleaned up the hungry people who froze to death outside the city, Song Baoqing's body was found. I had to give the head catcher some money for this matter, so that he could bury Song Baoqing without making a noise.

Although Cui Lie didn't know why Song Baoqing died in his trap, although there was a group of mountain bandits to help now, he was also worried, and always felt as if he was coming to an end.

Late at night, when the banquet ended, a light snow drifted in the sky, which also fell on Cui Lie's face, and the cold chill spread little by little, affecting the whole body. At this time, under the leadership of Wuhou, the lady of the Du family in Shili Village was taken to the Cui family compound and met with Cui Lie. After chatting for a while, Cui Lie rewarded Du Niangzi with a piece of gold.
