On the twenty-fourth day of the winter month, it was the time of high snowfall, but most of the blizzards were blocked outside Jinling City.

Inside the city walls, red lanterns were hung in every house, and the guards were sweeping the snow in front of the gates, and the guards were sweeping the snow on the streets, and children were playing and running in the streets.

A fat man is directing his men to decorate his luxurious base with red lanterns and paste them with a god to ward off evil spirits.

"Here, here, here, put it away. There's a little bit to the left, oh yes, that's it. ”

Liu Yingjie pointed at the conductor and kept staring at this place while looking around.

Suddenly, Lin Qingqing looked over.

"Ahh

Frightened, Liu Yingjie retreated, Lin Qingqing looked at the plaque and smiled lightly: "Well, it's very good, Northern Chamber of Commerce." Directly put up the name of the north, it's very bold. ”

Liu Yingjie patted his fat chest and said, "Eh, sister-in-law, you scared me to death." ”

Lin Qingqing smiled lightly: "I'm really sorry, I'm here to buy some fireworks for my family." ”

Liu Yingjie shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not so fragile psychologically."

As for the Northland Chamber of Commerce? This name was inscribed by Uncle Lu Ming himself, and the northern border is not a big place.

In addition to the main city of Jinling, the rest of the entire northern territory is only a war city used militarily. In addition to some of the aborigines who have lived in Jinling City for generations.

The rest, most of them are family members of the border guards, but everyone is human, and there is a need for someone.

As the saying goes, it's better to ask for others than to rely on yourself, so I set up a chamber of commerce in this border area where the flow of goods is difficult. ”

As he spoke, he took out a firework device, which was a pistol the size of a palm.

Lin Qingqing said: "Huh? This is the fireworks, how is this thing used? ”

Liu Yingjie smiled, took a firework device and fired a shot at the sky, and a firework scattered in the sky.

"This is called a fireworks gun, a kind of fireworks, loaded with twelve rounds at a time, can be fired twelve times, never dumb fire." ”

Lin Qingqing clapped his hands and said, "Awesome, wait, is this just one of them?" So you mean there's something even better? ”

Liu Yingjie pointed at Lin Qingqing and said, "Be confident, there are indeed more powerful ones." ”

After that, he took out two large long pipes: "Six-tube rotating continuous mobile fireworks gun."

Loaded with ammunition of 1,300, continuous rotation and shooting, shocking the opening. ”

With that, machine guns burst into flames, and bursts of fireworks burst into the sky.

took out another tube cannon and said: "There is another one, a grenade giant fireworks, one shot, you are the most beautiful boy in the audience." ”

With that, a huge firework burst into the sky.

He took out a long-rod musket and said: "Single-hung fireworks gun, ultra-long-range, ultra-powerful, and the price is quite low, you deserve it." ”

He pulled out another cannon and said: "The power of the large fireworks cannon is completely assured, and there is no lethality."

With one shot, you attract everyone's attention. ”

Lin Qingqing clapped his hands and smiled: "Not bad, yes, I really didn't expect there to be so many fireworks." ”

"Haha, of course, there's more. By the way, sister-in-law, what is your identity, you can buy two things at will, and then pick one more, and count it as a gift from me. ”

Liu Yingjie replied with a smile.

Lin Qingqing smiled helplessly: "I said that you guy, you are full of business experience, okay, I'll pick a few more things this time."

By the way, the smoking gun, get me ten. ”

"Okay!"

Liu Yingjie smiled lightly.

……

Lu Mansion, Lin Qingqing returned to Lu Mansion, Lu Fenglan was accompanying his mother for a walk, and the little men gathered around Lin Qingqing.

Lin Qingqing shook his head, with a wave of his cuffs, the cigarette gun dispersed and was snatched by the little men.

Then he shook his head triumphantly and walked in. This little kid will stop people from asking for gifts in the New Year, and if you don't give it, you will keep pestering you.

This can't be helped, especially the children of the Lu family, not to mention how much it is tossed.

However, the New Year's party in Jinling City will start soon, and the Lu family has already been busy.

Lin Qingqing entered the lobby, and Lu Fengya bit the sugar stick and instructed the family to decorate the furniture.

Seeing Lin Qingqing walk in, he smiled lightly: "Sister-in-law, you are coming back." ”

Lin Qingqing nodded and said, "Well, are you also here to direct them to prepare?" What about others. ”

Lu Fengya nodded and said, "Father and second brother have already gone to the City Lord's Mansion to prepare, and the eldest brother is accompanying his mother." ”

Lin Qingqing said: "Oh, and it looks like this annual meeting is very lively." ”

"Is it lively? It's okay, every year, just get used to it. ”

Lu Fengya smiled lightly.

Lin Qingqing said: "What, Fengya." Listening to your tone, it doesn't seem very satisfying. ”

Lu Fengya said lightly while walking up the stairs: "I have been staying in Jinling City since I was born.

When I was a child, I probably had a lot of dependence, so I thought it was very good, and I didn't want to leave my mother for the rest of my life. ”

Lu Fengya said: "Later, I thought wrong. ”

"What's wrong?"

Lin Qingqing responded.

Lu Fengya said: "My naïve memories ended when my father took me to the northern battlefield.

Looking at the corpses of human demons and the battlefield in the north full of severed limbs and stumps, I realized at that time what kind of environment I was in.

Later, I met a young man whose father was a traveling merchant who had traveled with him all over the world and had no fixed place to live.

But because of this, I traveled all over the country and told me a lot of interesting things. Only then did I realize how wonderful the outside world was. ”

Lin Qingqing smiled lightly: "Well, the outside world is indeed very exciting, but it is also full of dangers.

If you want to break away from the arms of your parents, will you really choose this path? ”

Hearing this, Lin Qingqing already understood Lu Fengya's special thoughts, and she also wanted to go out.

Lu Fengya nodded and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for comforting." ”

Lin Qingqing said again: "Oh yes, since you have seen the cruelty of the northern battlefield.

Then let me take the liberty of asking, what do you think of the demon clan? ”

Lu Fengya exhaled and said, "If it was before, I hated the demon clan extremely much, and I wanted to tear it apart.

However, until that battle, my father's generals led their troops to level a demon cottage.

Humans slaughtered the demon civilians like crazy, regardless of men, women, old and young, all of them were wiped out.

And a little raccoon demon appeared in front of me, with the innocent eyes that looked at me when he was dying. At that time, I understood that in front of the demon people, human beings are no different from the appearance of the demon race.

I'm starting to question what I've been taught.

I didn't save him, this little raccoon demon, my personal strength is too powerless under the racial contradictions. ”

Lin Qingqing said: "Well, it's true that personal strength is too weak in the face of racial righteousness. ”

Lu Fengya said: "Actually, many low-level soldiers think the same way, when they first came, they were cowardly, nervous, and afraid, but now, we sometimes wonder what we are fighting for.

For the sake of racial justice? Then why do you keep launching senseless massacres, why do you do such things?

After the demon clan came back, no one ever considered communicating with the demon clan, the only thing that remained unchanged was that there was always a steady stream of soldiers transported from the interior, some of them were wild and wandering to make money, as well as the soldiers of the Holy Sect, and there were disciples of the sect family who came to practice.

It seems to me that for them it is just to experience the cruelty of the world and the thrill of killing aliens, and there is no point in it. ”

Lin Qingqing raised his cheeks and said, "Yes, some things in this world are really ridiculous, aren't they?" ”

Whether it's the human race or the demon race, the upper echelons seem to just regard this as a game, and never care what the people at the bottom are thinking.

She didn't understand why the Terran merchants had to trade with the Demon Forest at the risk of rebellion, but now it seemed that Lin Qingqing felt a little naïve.

A lot of things seem to be more complicated than you think.

Lin Qingqing said again: "It's okay, in the future, maybe there will be a chance." ”

"What chance?"

Lu Fengya frowned.

"We'll find out later."

Lin Qingqing blinked, turned to leave.

Back in the room, Lin Qingqing secretly thought about something.

Many of these frontier warriors' mentality has changed, maybe it is not difficult for the human race to change, the real difficulty is to change the thinking of the demon race.

The mind of the demon forest may only be understood by Emperor Xinyue who is in the demon forest.

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't think much about it, so I had to go to bed. He took a break and slowly closed his eyes.

It was getting late, Lin Qingqing's eyebrows moved, and he slowly opened his eyes, and a figure came into view.

It was Lu Fenglan, who was lying on the table, who looked at this man Lin Qingqing and was startled at first, and then realized that this was not his own room. Scratching his head, was he dizzy yesterday?

Lu Fenglan also opened her eyes and looked at the little woman who was a little ignorant.

He smiled lightly: "What's the matter, Qing'er, you sleep like a pig." ”

Lin Qingqing glanced at him and said, "You are like a pig, I am just looking for a temporary place to rest." ”

Lu Fenglan smiled lightly: "Okay, it's okay to say that you sleep like a fox, right?" ”

Lin Qingqing smiled lightly: "It can't be said to be like, it is." ”

With that, he blinked and walked out, it was already getting dark, but the night seemed to have just begun.

Red lanterns also flickered in the house, and bursts of firecrackers rang out.

Bonfires are lit at many corners, and the streets are bustling with activity on New Year's Day.

Lu Fenglan smiled: "Let's go, go out and have a look." ”

"Okay."

Lin Qingqing replied with a smile.

After that, Feng Lan walked out with the road, and it was lively everywhere, with children fiddling with fireworks guns and adults setting off big firecrackers.

The people came to the street, and there were lion dances and dragon dances at the corners of the streets.

People hold traditional events in the hope of a better life and a happier time next year.

Lin Qingqing was surprised: "It's really lively." ”

Lu Fenglan smiled lightly: "Yes, I haven't spent the New Year here for a long time." ”

Lin Qingqing said: "Let's go over there." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Lu Fenglan to the side.
