Lu Yao didn't tell how to find Tong Ling quickly, but left with Huang Ruoyun, this time because of Bai Qiong's matter, Lu Yao and Huang Ruoyun were delayed shopping, and now although the matter is solved, the two are not in the mood to continue shopping, so they returned to the Huang family courtyard together.

The New Year is approaching, the Huang family's courtyard began to get busy, and some of the Huang family's people who were busy outside also came back one after another, and Huang Wei naturally had a deep conversation when he came back to see Lu Yao.

Huang Wei is the leader of the dragon group, and he once said that Lu Yao was moved to serve as the honorary instructor of the dragon group, but it was delayed because of many things, and this goodbye, Huang Wei naturally couldn't avoid bringing up the old things, but what he didn't expect was that he didn't have much hope for this matter, but unexpectedly, after the words were spoken, Lu Yao actually agreed very readily.

"Lu Yao, have you really thought about it?" Huang Wei was very excited, looked at Lu Yao and asked, "I didn't mean to force you!" ”

"Uncle Huang, what are you talking about, am I, Lu Yao, the kind of person who can be easily persecuted?" Lu Yao asked with a wry smile.

Things in the world are so magical, sometimes if you don't agree, others will have one idea, sometimes you promise too much, and others will have another idea.

Lu Yao was also embarrassed, so he readily agreed, but unexpectedly, Huang Wei thought that he was forced, and he was a little helpless for a while.

"That's good, that's good, when it's over the New Year, how about you accompany me to Yanjing?" Huang Wei could see that Lu Yao was not joking with himself, so he asked decisively.

"Okay, that's it." Lu Yao replied with a smile, but then added: "But let me explain first, I may not be able to stay for a long time, if there is something urgent to leave, you don't want to let people go!" ”

"That's for sure!" Huang Wei patted his chest and assured Lu Yao.

“……”

The two chatted for a while, Huang Ruoyun came, and Huang Wei left.

The Huang family was originally a prestigious family in the new city, but because of Huang Bingtian's death, the family also lost some power, although there are still people in the family who hold some important positions in the military and politics, but after all, there is no influence of Huang Bingtian, and more importantly, the Huang family has received some pressure from the top, and some people who used to be good friends with the Huang family have also severed contact with the Huang family.

Chinese New Year's Eve, some core figures of the Huang family got together, according to Huang Ruoyun's explanation to Lu Yao, all the core characters only the eldest of their generation did not arrive, that is, Huang Bingtian's eldest son and eldest grandson Huang Wenyuan did not arrive, but as for what reason Huang Ruoyun did not say, and Lu Yao also felt that the Huang family seemed to be a little secretive about Huang Wenyuan's affairs, so he did not ask.

I don't know if the Huang family has experienced this catastrophe this year, or the Huang family is originally so serious, this Chinese New Year's Eve meal is not interesting, there is no excitement or intrigue of the big family as Lu Yao imagined, because everyone is eating with their heads down.

Lu Yao remembered that although the family conditions were extremely difficult when he was a child, the New Year was also very lively, and the children in the neighborhood all ran out of their homes after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, running to everyone and setting off firecrackers with nearby friends.

Although Lu Yao lived in a slum at that time, and he couldn't afford to buy firecrackers for the New Year, even the cheapest low-quality firecrackers made them feel endlessly happy.

Lu Yao's family can't buy too many too good firecrackers, so he can only buy a string of about 500 rings of earth red, and then carefully cut it into six strings, starting from the night of Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve, put one string every night, until the night of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and then leave a string until the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, so that it can be regarded as a complete year.

And it is precisely because of this that Lu Yao can only watch when other children are playing there with firecrackers cut into one by one. However, childhood friendships are often not maintained by money, and sometimes it is very likely that a lollipop or a compliment wine makes them have a short-lived friendship.

At that time, although Lu Yao's family was in difficult conditions, his learning was the best among his peers, and many children were willing to play with him, although they couldn't give him a lot of firecrackers, but they could leave all the "stinky cannons" that didn't explode to Lu Yao, and these "stinky cannons" became Lu Yao's best toys.

Others use a stick of incense or a cigarette butt thrown away by adults to light the cannons, but Lu Yao is different, he tore apart two or three stinky cannons and poured all the gunpowder inside together, piled them into a small pile, and then found a stone that was very rounded and put it on it, and finally jumped high, stepped heavily on the stone, and ignited the gunpowder through the impact of the stone on the gunpowder, sometimes it was a loud sound no less than a firecracker, and sometimes it was a dazzling firework and a pungent smell of gunpowder.

These seem funny now, but at that time, it was the most anticipated and happiest thing for Lu Yao to celebrate the New Year.

Lu Yao watched the Huang family light the rows of fireworks placed at the door and on the top of the attic, and a loud bang exploded over the Huang family's courtyard, thinking of his childhood and the strong smell of the year in the same year.

"Lu Yao, what's wrong?" Huang Ruoyun saw that Lu Yao was a little stunned, walked slowly to Lu Yao's side, and then slapped Lu Yao's shoulder and asked loudly.

"It's nothing, just remembering when I was a kid and remembering what it looked like every year for the New Year at that time." Lu Yao looked at Huang Ruoyun warmly and said: "Although the family was poor at that time, whether it was the godfather or the neighbors' uncles and uncles during the New Year, it was absolutely unambiguous, the New Year at that time was really New Year, so it was not lively, but now, the living conditions are very different from before, but the taste of this New Year has become very light, it seems that this New Year is like an ordinary festival for everyone!" ”

"Don't you think it means?" Huang Ruoyun asked.

"A little!" Lu Yao faced Huang Ruyun and chose to tell the truth, because in his opinion, there was a need for honesty between the two of them, and there was no need to hide anything from these small things.

"Then I'll take you somewhere, I'm sure you'll like it!" Huang Ruoyun smiled slyly after getting Lu Yao's answer, whispered in Lu Yao's ear, and then didn't wait for Lu Yao to agree, he directly took Lu Yao's hand and ran out of the courtyard.

……

……

Although some people's homes don't have a strong New Year's flavor, after all, there are still some people who have a strong New Year's flavor at home, and there are naturally many people who set off guns, and there is a strong smell of gunpowder in the air.

"Where are you taking me?" Lu Yao was pulled by Huang Ruoyun and ran a long way, Lu Yao came to the conclusion through calculations that he had run almost two kilometers with Huang Ruoyun, and seeing that Huang Ruoyun didn't seem to have the idea of slowing down, he couldn't help but ask.

"You'll know when you get there!" Huang Ruoyun smiled and didn't tell Lu Yao the answer he wanted to know.

Huang Ruoyun didn't say anything, and Lu Yao naturally didn't want to ask again, but he followed Huang Ruyun and ran forward, but vaguely he also felt a looming dangerous aura constantly approaching the two of them.

Lu Yao could completely stop Huang Ruoyun from continuing to move forward, but he couldn't bear to sweep Huang Ruoyun's interest, after all, this was the Chinese New Year, so he simply let Huang Ruoyun pull him forward, while constantly probing around, looking for the source of this danger.

After running for about twenty minutes, Lu Yao clearly noticed that Huang Ruoyun had already pulled himself away from the Huang family's courtyard and headed towards a natural park built according to local conditions to the south of the courtyard. And he noticed that the dangerous aura became stronger as he got closer to the park.

"Ruoyun, what would you do if you were in danger?" Lu Yao asked suddenly.

"If you encounter danger, I will naturally protect you, this is a new city, I have the obligation to protect your safety, just like you protect me in Xijing City!" Huang Ruoyun is an ordinary person, she naturally can't feel the danger approaching, so she said jokingly.

Although this is a joke, it also warms Lu Yao's heart when he listens to it. He chuckled and stroked a handful of Huang Ruoyun's hair, and said, "Okay, I'll hand myself over to you tonight, and everything is up to you!" ”

"Okay!" Huang Ruoyun replied with a smile, and then she had something to say, but when she saw the smile on Lu Yao's face, she immediately reacted to what she had just said, and suddenly blushed with shame, stomped her feet, dragged Lu Yao hard, and ran forward.

The further he went, the stronger the aura of danger became, and Lu Yao also began to be cautious.
