However, the New Year's flavor does not fade.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the red firecracker paper everywhere is the trace of the year, and the opera garden is open for free, and the people are welcome to listen to the play for free.

The night before, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Liu Feng and Uncle Jiu drank a lot, but unfortunately the alcohol could not anesthetize his body, but he still slept until the first night of the new year.

He was woken up by the sound of a rat gnawing on a wooden table in his room.

This phenomenon is very common in the countryside, and when you fall asleep in the middle of the night and chase after you, you hear a clicking sound, which is actually a mouse gnawing on furniture.

Liu Feng woke up immediately, opened his eyes, looked in the direction from which the voice came, and found a tiger-sized figure in the house, eating dumplings left over from last night.

This figure has a head like a lion and is as strong as a cow, and a pair of eyes are wide, as if he wants to eat someone.

"It's ...... Year Beast? ”

Liu Feng reacted, if nothing else, this thing should be a year beast.

It's really strange that there are a lot of things every year, and I have only heard about it but never seen it before, and now after a series of messy things, even this kind of thing that exists in legends has appeared.

"Hey, is it delicious?"

Liu Feng asked with a smile.

The Nian Beast, who was eating the dumplings that had been cool, seemed to be frightened, and his whole body was excited, and he glared at Liu Feng, and then as if he saw something very frightened, he turned around and fled quickly.

"Don't go, Ah Nian, let's have a good talk!"

Liu Feng quickly got out of bed, got dressed, and chased after him, but as soon as he went out, there was no trace of the beast that year.

The Divine Consciousness was released to search, but still found nothing.

"This thing is running so fast?"

On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the smell of firecrackers in the air has not completely dissipated, and some people are even setting off fireworks, and the firecracker paper on the ground is getting thicker and thicker.

Liu Feng didn't find any traces of the existence of the Nian Beast in this vicinity, after all, it was a divine beast that had been active for so many years, and the traces were definitely not so easy to catch.

Liu Feng went out and walked outside, smelling the smell of gunpowder smoke after the firecrackers exploded in the air around him, and his mood was still a little comfortable.

In his time, in order to protect the environment, the whole world did not allow firecrackers.

Therefore, at this time, Liu Feng breathed in the surrounding gas, felt the strong smell of the New Year, looked at the roadside being pulling in the firecracker paper to find the firecrackers that did not burst, and thought to himself which lump of cow dung would these children make?

Today, on the street, it is said to be depressed, but it is also lively, and it is said to be lively, but it is also depressed.

Everyone is resting for the New Year, and there are no hawkers on the roadside, so it is still a little deserted.

But there was laughter and laughter in every house, with men drinking and chatting together, and women chatting about their families, which was very lively.

Liu Feng couldn't help but pick up a firecracker from the ground, borrowed a fire from the child, lit it and quickly threw it into the alley.

Firecrackers are heard.

In the narrow alleys, the sound of firecrackers bursting is very loud.

Bang!!!

"Ahhh!!h

What Liu Feng didn't expect was that the sound of firecracker explosions came, but at the same time, the screams of a little girl were heard.

"Gan, it's blowing people up!"

Liu Feng hurriedly ran into the alley and found a little girl squatting in the corner.

The little girl was dressed in tatters, covered in mud and trembling, and looked like she hadn't eaten for many days.

"Are you alright?"

Liu Feng hurriedly squatted down to check the little girl's situation, and was relieved to find that the little girl was just frightened.

"Hungry...... I'm so ...... Hungry ......"

The little girl looked up at Liu Feng fearfully, and when she saw that Liu Feng looked quite kind, she tried to say something to him.

"What's your name?"

Little Girl: "........."

Didn't you hear this girl saying she was hungry?

However, in order to have something to eat, the little girl could only reply crisply:

"My name is Xinnian."

"Thoughts? Good name, are you hungry? ”

"Hmm."

"Then I'll take you to eat something delicious?"

"Good ......"

Liu Feng took the little girl's hand and walked home with the little girl.

On the first day of the Chinese New Year, it starts with picking up little girls.

It was already dark at this time, and it was time for dinner.

When I opened the door of the house, I was greeted by the smell of rice.

"Boss, are you back?"

Liu Qing jumped out of the kitchen with an apron in his hand, still holding a spoon in his hand.

"Well, come on, get her something to eat."

Liu Feng pushed the little girl in front of him.

"Huh? Who is this little doll? It's so cute! Boss, where did you pick her up? ”

"From the street. Get her something to eat. ”

"What's her name?"

"Xinnian, get her something to eat."

"It's so pitiful, is she alone?"

"yes, get her something to eat."

"Whew, what do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat...... Eating dumplings ......"

"Okay, I'll cook it for you!"

During the Chinese New Year, the last thing that is missing at home is dumplings.

Originally, Liu Qing was going to cook a table of dishes tonight, and then eat dumplings, but now he directly cooked the dumplings and ate them together, which was very cost-effective.

……

A plate of steaming dumplings was served on the table, and I didn't even use chopsticks, so I grabbed one directly with my dirty little hands and put it in my mouth.

Seeing this scene, Liu Feng felt a little sorry for this little girl, and made up his mind that he would not eat this plate of dumplings.

I also blame myself, when Liu Qing was cooking dumplings just now, I should have taken my mind to wash my hands.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, hot!"

Liu Qing wiped the soup flowing from the corner of the little girl's mouth with a handkerchief, and looked at her heart with a distressed face.

"I've been hungry for days, and I don't know how hot it is. Eat slowly, chew carefully before swallowing. ”

A plate of more than fifty dumplings quickly ...... was eaten clean by the little girl, Liu Feng looked at the empty plate with a confused expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Also...... Is there anything else......"

looked at Liu Feng timidly, pursed her lips, and could see that she was still very hungry.

"Yes."

Liu Feng stared at his mind for a long time, shook his head with a smile, and said:

"Qing'er, go cook some more for her."

"Okay."

Liu Qing turned around and went to the kitchen again to get busy.

Right now, only Liu Feng and Xinnian were left in front of the table.

"How's it going, are the dumplings delicious?"

Liu Feng looked at his mind with a smile, but his eyes became more and more cold.

"Good...... It's delicious......"

The mind smiled,

"See?"

"I'm not sure yet, but now it's time to decide, how about it, hot dumplings are much better than cold ones, right?"

"yes, it's much more delicious than the dumplings in your room."

"Mind...... New year? ”

"Hmm."

"So, you're the Year Beast?"

"Can you bear to call a little girl a beast?"

"What's that calling you? Year? ”

"It's called the heart."

"Good thoughts, why do you want to come to my house?"

"Because you have good things in your house......"
