Chapter 126: Countdown to the New Year's Eve Carnival
I took the towel, "It seems that there are some things that can't be avoided." Did you say Xiao Chou, is there something wrong? β
Xiao Fan didn't speak, he pressed my wrist, and the aura and spiritual power slowly entered.
In terms of healing, Xiao Fan is no better than Xiao Chou, and after a long time, I feel slightly better.
Xiao Fan took the Immortal Spirit Talisman and squeezed it, frowning slightly, "It's not Xiao Chou who has the problem, it's you." β
"Me?"
"The Immortal Spirit Rune is fine, it's your own aura that is consumed too quickly."
"Feeding them too much? After that, I fed less, thinking it was a big deal. β
Xiao Fan said, "The supply is just right." β
"Just right? So you can't reduce the amount? Won't the granary soon be empty? β
"Not necessarily." Little Pink handed me the talisman, "Can you feel it?" β
I'm a little dazed, I don't know what Xiao Fan refers to,
I took the Immortal Spirit Rune and squeezed it in my hand, stunned, I looked at Xiao Fan in surprise, "It seems to be ...... Something is moving, ah no, no, it's growing, expanding, oops, how do you describe this......"
It feels like grass growing in a stone, the grass is struggling to survive, it is very strong, little by little it pushes a crack in the stone.
At this moment, I seem to be able to faintly see the green in the cracks in the stone.
Xiao Fan nodded, "It's Xiao Chou." β
"Really?" I was a little excited, "So, Xiao Chou is gradually controlling those resentful spirits?" Isn't this the king's throne! β
Xiao Fan glanced at me, "So excited, it's like you're on top." β
"It's not all the same, the general's family shares honor and disgrace!" I suddenly felt a sense of glory in the regain of lost land, and I was extremely embarrassed, "Hey, what kind of life do you think I have?" I picked up a Rotten Spirit Rune for nothing, and I got a Spirit King effortlessly! I'm the worst of the spirits, but I can't stop my luck! You said that you did this, it's embarrassing......"
Xiao Fan shook her head helplessly.
I asked, "By the way, will you sprinkle them with the same amount of grain in the future?" β
"To reduce." Xiao Fan said, "The missing part of the Immortal Spirit Rune, Xiao Chou will replenish it, and I will help you with the missing part in your body." β
I rubbed my neck and said embarrassedly, "It's really hard to go...... I'm always bothering you two, but I'm not angry. β
"It's good to know." Little Pink walked past me and went upstairs.
I pursed my lips and said to myself, I obviously want you to say "we are friends, don't say that" or "you have worked hard, don't have too much burden" or ...... Ay......
The last few days of the year were really comfortable, and none of us went to mention Du Qingchen and the sΓ©ance anymore, as if we had made an appointment, but we never forgot them for a moment.
Everyone understands in their hearts that the current "quiet years" are just an illusion that we have carefully managed. There are some roads that I know are thorns, but I still have to walk.
"Xiaobai, what's the deal with tomorrow night's New Year's Eve?" At night, I was smoking with Ink by the lake.
I laughed, "You've been boasting for thousands of years, and you're still interested?" β
Shui Mo took a puff of his cigarette and frowned.
My heart tightened, and every time the ink showed such an expression, the next topic would become heavy.
Shui Mo said, "The good days that have been stolen should come to an end." β
Shui Mo tilted his head and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, but my heart became heavier and heavier as I watched the smoke drift higher and higher.
I didn't deliberately wait for this day, but I was ready for it to come. Fortunately, I listened to Xiaofan's words, and I only made mental preparations like this once, so this stolen good day is really good.
"Ink, do you have any news from Du Qingchen?"
"Next month is Qingyan's jealousy, and Chuan Che said that Du Qingchen is very likely to go to see him." Ink Painting.
"Their son's name is Du Qingyan? The name is very good, but it was taken? β
Ink "bah" a sentence, with a look of disgust, "What a fart!" Hurry up, it sounds like a belly button! Not at all! β
I smiled and said, "Listen to your words that don't accumulate virtue, it should be taken by Du Qingchen." β
"Next month, buddy is going to Wanling Snow Mountain."
"How do you get there? The ice door of the black market needs immortal power to open, and now the immortals can't even use spiritual power much, so you don't want to take a shovel to pry hard, right? β
Shui Mo said, "Who said that there is only one way to go to Wanling Snow Mountain?" According to what you say, how did Du Sun go last time? β
I was right when I thought about it, Du Qingchen didn't go with me, "Do you know the medium to go there?" β
"There's no news that buddies can't get into, it's just a matter of time."
I looked at the ink, and suddenly felt a little bad in my heart, this kid will be with Zhuche, could it be a purpose from the beginning, right?
I asked, "Do you know that you are looking for Du Qingchen to avenge your ex-girlfriend?" β
"Of course I know, there are no secrets between us." Ink looked at me, "Xiaobai, your eyes are very innocent when you look at me, are you thinking about your buddy?" β
"Can I figure it out if you're confused? It's good that you have a clear conscience in your own heart. β
The ink hooked my neck and said, "I have nothing in my heart but you." β
I got goosebumps and pushed him away, "Fuck off!" Get away from me! β
Ink seemed to be very satisfied with my reaction at this time, and laughed in an extremely ugly voice. After a while, he leaned over and asked lightly, "Are you going?" β
Should I go?
knew that Du Qingchen was not the murderer, but he couldn't prove it, and he couldn't stop the ink. When it's time for them to go toe-to-toe, I can't hand a knife to either side, what am I going to do?
"Do you want to go down?" I asked.
"I'm asking you, why are you asking her?" Shui Mo said, "If you think about it, you know that she won't go, watching her current boyfriend slash her ex-husband to find excitement?" β
I pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I'll go with you if I'm okay that day." β
"What else do you do every day besides feeding your little pets to play with?"
"If you have the ability, you can raise tens of thousands of them to have fun!"
Shui Mo said, "I can't think of it?" Look at what they can eat, drink, and make every day, and if they can't give enough, they will cry and grab the ground to toss you, and now even with the immortals, they have to give you some spiritual energy from time to time, it's really enough! I don't know when Xiao Chou will be able to make a name for himself, and when the immortals return to the fairy world, who cares about you? β
"Do you think it is so easy to assist a king to ascend to the throne? Once the success is done, he will only consume me alone, which is not bad. β
"If only Xiao Chou could get out of the way earlier, you call him out, and there will be one more person to be lively tomorrow on New Year's Eve." Shui Mo immediately changed his words, "It's useless to be too much, I heard that the Spirit King is like a rotten wood." β
"What are you talking about?" I was dissatisfied.
Shui Mo said, "I can't cry or laugh, I don't have emotions or nerves, isn't it just wood!" β
"Forget about human wood, it's still rotten wood."
"Because it's ugly!" Ink has a disgusted expression.
I scolded.
Shui Mo smiled, "Getting back to business, what show will be arranged tomorrow night?" β
I thought about it for a moment, and suddenly remembered one thing, "Let's set off fireworks tomorrow night!" On New Year's Eve carnival, how can there be no beer barbecue and fireworks? β
Ink smiled, "The classics will last forever!" Appropriate! That's it! β
I said, "Division of labor, I'll buy beer and barbecue, and you can buy fireworks." β
"Why?"
"Don't you know that fireworks are banned now? If you want to buy it, you have to go to a remote place to buy it, and if you want to buy a beer barbecue, you have to go to a lively place in the city, of course, you have to act separately, in two directions. β
Shui Mo said, "I'm asking why I want to buy fireworks, I prefer to go to the city, and I can also take Xia Che to have a meal by the way, make an appointment, and we'll change." β
"Okay, okay, you can do whatever you like, remember to buy a few fish and come back."
It's better for me to buy fireworks, so as not to buy some messy fireworks and ruin the atmosphere.
The next day after breakfast, we went our separate ways. I pointed out a route to Xiaofen, which was the fireworks market that Bai Ye had taken me to before.
"Little pink, what type do you like?"
Little Pink looked at me.
I said, "Fireworks, there are more types of fireworks than canned fish, and I tell you, there are spinning, lifting, spitting, splattering, and Roman candlelight...... Hey, a lot, which one do you prefer? β
Xiao Fan looked dazed, "Is there a difference?" β
"Of course! There are those that spin on the ground, there are those that soar into the sky, and there are those that fly while turning, some are silent, and some are loud, oh yes, you said before that the meteor shower is noisy, right, then we will buy the ones that are not so noisy, and there are many types of them, and you can choose them slowly when the time comes. β
The more I talked, the more excited I became, and I wanted to fly straight over.
When I arrived at the fireworks market, I was dumbfounded. There are no duplicate fireworks in each stall, there are so many types that they are dazzling, and the names are also strange, and some of them don't know what they are just by listening to the name.
I pulled Xiaofen and smashed it into the pile, the voices were boiling, and the people who bought and sold were shouting loudly, so it was not lively, and suddenly I felt that there was a New Year's flavor.
"Little pink, do you see if you like it?" I shouted in his ear.
Xiao Fan looked left and right, his eyes full of doubts.
I said, "You don't need to know what these are, I guess some of them don't even know the boss himself, so you can take whichever one you are interested in." β
After a while, I filled a bag, and when I turned my head, Xiao Fan took a few "fairy sticks" and stood aside, far away from the crowd. It is estimated that he doesn't like this kind of crowded scene.
After settling the bill, I took him to a stall with fewer people.
This stall sells the kind of combo packages, from several to dozens of gift bags, the packaging is very high-end, and it should be prepared for those who give gifts.
I looked around, and at a glance, I stared at the biggest gift bag, and there are dozens of kinds of gift bombs, which is simply a luxury overlord package! What a childhood dream!
Look at my eyes.
"That." Xiao Fan pointed to the largest gift bag and said to the boss.
I hurriedly stopped the boss, "Wait first!" He turned his head and whispered to Xiao Fan, "Don't point fingers, the kind that starts with five figures, and the flashy packaging box alone costs hundreds of thousands, which is not worth it." β
The boss didn't pay attention to me, and directly talked to Xiao Fan diligently, "Okay, good, the little boss has a vision, this is the treasure of our town store - the supreme family photo!" Come by car, and I'll help you move it up later. β
"Okay." Small powder road.
"What's good?" I grabbed Xiaofen and whispered, "Change one for another." β
Xiaofan asked the boss, "How to pay?" β
"Cash, credit card, scan code, how convenient do you see?" The boss laughed.
Xiao Fan took out a black and shiny card and handed it to the boss, and before I could intercept it, the boss snatched it away with lightning speed.
The man swiped on the POS machine very quickly, crackled and pressed it several times, then stretched out his arm and said, "Little boss, you enter the password." "There was not a single pause in the whole set of movements, and it was quite skillful.
When I glanced at it, I was surprised to see six digits on the POS machine.
Xiao Fan said, "There is no password. β
I was just about to stop the boss, but the old man poked his finger down......
In a moment, the thermal paper came out......
"Damn......," I thumped in my chest.
The boss carried back and forth to Baby G a few times, and the remaining dozen boxes of fireworks really couldn't fit it, and before I could say return, the boss immediately pulled his goods away, and smiled cheaply, "Even if you buy ten more copies, I have a way to help you send them back." β
On the way back, I couldn't say a word. In the rearview mirror, you can see the boss sitting in the driver's seat and smiling. I looked out the window silently, I needed nature to heal me.
"How long are you going to be angry?" Xiao Fan held the steering wheel with one hand, turned his head to look at me, and leisurely hooked the corner of his mouth.
"Who the fuck is angry!"
Xiao Fan said, "Numbers are meaningless to the money itself, and only when these numbers become less can money have the value of existence." β
"Isn't more numbers worthless?"
Xiao Fan said, "A drop of paper that is getting thicker and thicker, and a drop of money that is getting thicker and thicker, you don't spend it, put it there, what's the difference between the two?" β
"Absolutely! How can money be like paper? Money can be exchanged for things, when you want to change it, paper? Don't think about it in this life, let's reincarnate for money in the next life! β
"Money makes sense when you swap those numbers or those pieces of paper for something else. Isn't it just for things to be exchanged? Could it be that it is used to collect? Xiao Fan didn't care.
This is the so-called gap between rich and poor, right?
A poor man thinks about how to make his wallet bulge, turn stones into gold, and turn decay into magic. What a financier thinks is...... The relationship between stone and gold, decay and miraculous value.
