Volume 1 Ending in the Human Realm Chapter 56 Another year
On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, Qingshui Village has begun to put up lights, bright red and green new door gods, new couplets with red and black characters, a series of fiery red lanterns hanging high, the taste of the year is quite full, Liu Yi brought the Chinese New Year's Eve meal taken back from the Li family, even in the ice and snow, the young man's heart is not so cold.
There is a thick snow on the ground, every time you step on it, there will be a creaking sound, and some children in the village have piled up snowmen at the door of their houses, noses made of carrots, hands and feet made of rotten wooden sticks, with broken hats, draped in old clothes, like a rickety figure of an old man squatting at the door of his house.
Liu Buyi walked over in front of the snowman, and couldn't help but secretly take a few more looks, before, he also used to build snowmen with Hou Qing and them, and liked to build snowmen in the snow, every time Huang Tingyu was the slowest one, but he was also the best among them.
Liu Buyi's figure gradually faded away, and a child poked his head out behind the snowman, looked at the back of the lonely person, and there were a few more doubts in his eyes, but the child immediately beckoned to the little friend who was probing his brain beside him, and a little girl with a tiger head popped out of the head from behind another snowman, opened her mouth, and laughed.
After returning home, Liu Buyi put away the food brought back from Li's house, took out the door god and new couplet he prepared, got a little glutinous rice flour from Gu Li's house in the afternoon, and boiled a little paste in the pot.
Looking at the gate posted with the new door god, Liu Buyi felt that the originally simple portal was suddenly a lot newer.
He then took out the prepared couplets from the house, and then quickly pasted them, and finally added horizontal batches, and now the family has a stronger New Year's flavor.
The boy stared at the couplet on his door, satisfaction in his eyes.
On the mottled pillar, the red paper of the new couplet flashes with red light, the upper couplet "Heaven and earth are beautiful and rich together!", the lower couplet "Qiankun is full of health and well-being", and the horizontal batch "The whole world celebrates"!
This couplet is Liu Buyi chose for a while before the photo, this New Year's couplet, have to draw an auspicious picture, buy the couplet Lao Suo has been giving Liu Buyi a variety of recommendations, but Liu Buyi does not eat this set, he is patient, squatting in the snow to pick and choose, seeing Liu Buyi's final couplet, Lao Suo originally had some hopeful eyes, and finally dimmed a lot.
Before leaving, Lao Suo glanced at Liu Buyi a few more times, but the young man seemed to have settled down, and Lao Suo finally shook his head, watching the somewhat thin young man gradually move away.
The smoke curled up, and in the rather poor hut, the warmth was thick at the moment, not far away, Xia Yi paced over, as if he was a little hesitant, standing at the door of Liu Buyi's house and looking at it, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
"That kid should be a dead man! Am I not bored with myself?" Xia Yi looked at the newly posted door god at the door, and his face was entangled.
"Forget it! Let's go to the New Year by yourself!" Xia Yi was about to turn around and leave.
Liu Buyi's door suddenly opened, and Liu Buyi, who was standing at the door, looked at the man who was quite depressed, and smiled, "On such a cold day, go into the house and drink two cups?"
"How embarrassing is this?" Xia Yi, who was rubbing his hands, had a hint of tactfulness on his angular face.
"Yes, when I didn't say it!" Liu Buyi heard this, and turned around and closed the door without looking back.
"Don't! Don't, you can't even hear some kind words from others?" Xia Yi looked anxious.
"If you want to go into the house to drink, you have to be conscious, twist and pinch, not like a man!" Liu Buyi said coldly, looking at the back of the young man returning to the house, Xia Yi felt that the young man was the uncle at the moment, and he was a girl.
In the evening, Liu Buyi's house set up wine and food, Liu Buyi does not drink, this altar of wine, is specially prepared for Xia Yi to drink, looking at the rich Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with wine and vegetables, the military man who has been in the horse for many years, there is an inexplicable feeling for the first time.
Whether it is in the barracks or in Xiayi on vacation, it is not more than a year.
Xia Yi sat directly on the seat, and was about to pick up a chicken leg, but Liu Buyi next to him picked up a chopstick and knocked it on Xia Yi's hand, the young man was not big, and at this moment he said quite majestically: "Before the firecrackers go off, you are not allowed to move the chopsticks!"
Rao is a man in his thirties, he obediently put down his chopsticks, followed Liu Buyi out of the house at this moment, and straightened the firecrackers that were coiled together.
Looking at the appearance of the young man lighting firecrackers, Xia Yi looked at the scene of thousands of red lanterns hanging high at this moment, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, "It's another year!"
"Thunderbolt Bala!" firecrackers sounded, fire snakes splashed everywhere, the young man sneaked into the house, quickly closed the door, looked at Xia Yi with a worried look, and then showed a smile and yelled: "Eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner!"
Looking at Liu Buyi in such a scene, Xia Yi opened his mouth in surprise, looking puzzled.
Liu Buyi, who felt a little sensational, returned to a quiet appearance, sat down at the table, and picked up the chicken leg that Xia Yi tried to eat just now and gnawed it.
"You... Seeing this, Xia Yi immediately understood, and hurriedly sat down at the table, looking at Liu Buyi, who was gnawing on chicken legs, looking deflated.
"Don't eat it yet, beware of the cold vegetables!" Liu Buyi said with his cheeks puffing out as he chewed on the chicken legs.
When Xia Yi heard this, he moved the first chopsticks on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, looking at the white and tender chicken breast meat, Xia Yi was a little trance-like, hurried years, twenty years of horses, he was like being in the world, and for the first time he had a rather year-like Chinese New Year's Eve.
In the quiet Qingshui Village, the sound of firecrackers is endless, in the days of family reunion, even if the winter is cold and the snow is deep, it also blocks the joy of family reunion, and the sound of firecrackers, the bad things of the past year are gone with the wind, and the New Year is coming.
After a full meal, Xia Yi half-propped his head, a man with a little dark skin, and his face was flushed, don't look at the man with a vicious and murderous face, this amount of wine is not good.
This is not to blame Xia Yi, as the only son of a sinner who exterminated the clan, Xia Yi has been conscientious and conscientious for many years, walking on thin ice, in a place like the military camp, he is worried that once he gets drunk, in case he talks nonsense, it will not only be him who will have an accident, but also Bailu Gong who may save him.
But tonight, Xia Yi has no scruples, the young man in front of him, even if he is a young man with a great background, here, in Qingshui Village, in this ancient land of heavenly sin, he is still a poor rural orphan.
"You usually have a cold look?" Looking at Xia Yi, who was slightly drunk, Liu Buyi picked up the wine jar and looked eager to try.
Xia Yi looked at the young man and didn't speak, in Xia Yi's opinion, this question was a bit stupid, "Am I cold?" Xia Yi asked himself, and then he said with a bad smile: "Taste, wine is a good thing, good man, but you have to drink a lot!"
Liu Buyi looked at Xia Yi suspiciously, then took out his chopsticks and clicked a little, and suddenly felt that he was not good, and said with a bitter face: "It's really not delicious!"
Xia Yi laughed, "Man, the spicier this wine is, the more flavorful it is, you don't understand!"
Xia Yi, who had another drink, suddenly asked inexplicably, "Why did you think of inviting me for the New Year?"
Liu Buyi ate a little fish, then pursed his lips and said: "You came to my door secretly, I think, one person for the New Year, is the New Year, two people for the New Year, also for the New Year, take you one, no trouble!"
Xia Yi couldn't smile bitterly, and his feelings were just a casual one, or that kind of reluctant goods.
"You've always celebrated the New Year alone?" Xia Yi asked.
"Yes, since my grandfather died, I have been coming alone, and I don't feel that there is anything wrong with it over the years!" Liu Buyi explained.
Xia Yi drank, paused, then put down the cup, stared at the young man in front of him and said, "Have you heard your grandfather say, what is your family like?"
Liu Buyi thought about it, it seemed that since he could remember, it seemed that his old man had never mentioned his father and family situation to him, Liu Buyi shook his head, "No way, the old man didn't explain anything to me until he died, as for my cheap father and mother who I have never seen, I also want to know what happened to them!"
Xia Yi sighed slightly, this kid is almost the same as himself, thinking of this, Xia Yi feels a little better in his heart.
In the aphrodisiac shop, in the steaming heat at the moment, several people sat around the table.
In addition to Old Man Tian and Gu Tianyun's family, there are two more people today, a black bearded man who is dressed quite inappropriately, and a boy in a green shirt, the dining table for seven people is a little crowded.
The old man Tian's face was not good-looking, he was drinking sullen wine at the moment, and he didn't even look at the black bearded man who was flattering on the side, and he didn't even look at his face, and the boy in the green shirt was sitting next to his master at the moment, looking at the few people sitting on it, in addition to the old man who the master admired, and a rather honest middle-aged man, an enthusiastic middle-aged woman, and a quiet girl and a child with a somewhat unsightly face sitting on the side.
The little boy couldn't help but glance at the handsome little girl a few more times, but he thought that this girl was really beautiful for no reason, which made the child on the side glare angrily, and looked at it more emotionally, and felt that the little boy took advantage of it.
For this, the girl who looked quite lovely didn't care about it, whispering in the child's ear from time to time, and giving him food again and again.
Seeing this scene, the little boy was quite envious.
After three rounds of wine, the black-haired man picked up the wine glass and said to the old man Tian: "Senior Uncle Ancestor, this cup of wine is respected by the disciples in my Du Yuan Dynasty Sect!"
Old man Tian looked at Du Yuan who was holding the wine, and he didn't want to take care of it, the boy in the green shirt looked embarrassed when he saw this, and Du Yuan was quite thick-skinned, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, "Thank you, Uncle Shi!"
Gu Li saw such a brazen man on the side, so shocked that his jaw was about to fall to the ground, this man who came out to spend the New Year in his house halfway, this cheek is worthy of the ash of their earthen walls, and it is a thick mess.
"Uncle Shi, this glass of wine wishes you and your aunt happiness!" Du Yuan poured himself another bowl and said to Gu Tianyun and his wife with the wine.
"Brother Du Yuan is polite!" Gu Tianyun was not like his master, he touched the wine bowl with Du Yuan quite honestly, and Luo Hua on the side also said enthusiastically: "Brother Du Yuan, this wine and food is also a common meal, you will eat it!"
"Auntie is polite!" Du Yuan said busily, pouring himself another bowl of wine.
Old man Tian, who saw Du Yuan's movements in his eyes, finally had a seizure, and Gu Li on the side fanned the flames without disorder: "Master, this should be a good bar that you have treasured for many years, this Uncle Du Yuan, it is time to drink water!"
Old man Tian's face was originally quite unsightly, but when he heard the words of his little rabbit cub at this moment, his face suddenly turned black as the bottom of the pot.
"I said Du Yuan's nephew, your cultivation has not received a bit of the true inheritance of the Tianxing Sect, but this drinking skill has won the teachings of your master, and this cheeky skin, even more so that Yuan Qichun, after so many years, is still guarding the Spring Peak, when he breaks the elder?" said the old man Tian faintly.
"Uncle Hui, the family master has now entered the Tianxing Sect's back mountain to retreat, and Kaichun Peak is now my town!" Du Yuan said.
"Well, no wonder! Back then, the strength of Kaichun Peak was not the highest among the thirteen peaks in the Tianxing Sect, but compared to the cheeks, it was the thickest, you, the contemporary peak master, have to hold it up!" said the old man Tian with a rather vicious mouth.
Du Yuan didn't care, "Before leaving the sect, the old ancestor once explained to me that the ancestor is a good-looking person, so he speaks meanly, don't pay attention to it!"
Hearing Du Yuan mention the old ancestor, it was rare for Old Man Tian not to continue to speak venomously, he lifted the cigarette gun a little stupidly, sat on the recliner at the door of the backyard, and smoked a big cigarette.
Looking at the old man Tian who was smoking dry cigarettes, Du Yuan leaned into Gu Tianyun's ear with some suspicion and said, "Why do you feel that Uncle Shi looks unhappy?"
When Gu Tianyun heard this, he looked at Du Yuan with deep meaning and said: "Actually, I can't blame you for this, every time I mention my uncle, my master is like this, as for what he is thinking, I have been by his side for almost twenty years, three words, I can't guess!"
Du Yuan nodded, looking at Old Man Tian with a worried look, and the wine bowl in his hand did not stop.
Looking at the night sky of the black hole, Old Man Tian was a little excited, although it was the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the old man still couldn't mention the slightest feeling of joy, this adult New Year, compared to children, is a little lighter, and when it comes to the elderly, compared to adults, it is a little lighter.
The arrival of Du Yuan of the Tianxing Sect in front of him is not a good thing, what should have come has come after all.
Thinking of this, Old Man Tian couldn't help but sigh: "It's another year... ”
As for what Old Man Tian was worried about, only he might know.
