Chapter 23: Chinese New Year

The days passed peacefully, and finally it was the day when the old and the new years alternated, and this was also the first New Year that Luo Yang spent in Nanhe Town, and he didn't expect that he would be able to live peacefully with a ghost in this mansion for so long.

He looked at Fan Linyue, who was half-lying in front of the TV and happily watching the New Year's program, the latter was wearing a fiery red Christmas hat on his head, which looked very funny, the hat was taken home by Luo Yang from the old goods piled up in the supermarket, although it was not very timely, but Fan Linyue did not care very much, which added some celebratory atmosphere to the house.

"Cats! Kitty! ”

Fan Lin thought more and more, holding the cat nest with oranges in his hand, as if he was holding the cat at this time.

Luo Yang rarely did not rush the manuscript in the evening today, but sat at the table in the living room, listening to the program content on TV, while stirring the contents of the small pot in front of him with chopsticks - it was the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner he prepared for himself.

Boiled instant noodles with eggs and two whole ham sausages are a luxurious course.

It's not that he is holding himself back, but simply because he feels that preparing a lavish dinner party is a bit of a waste for him, a person who actually lives alone, and it is better to simply keep it simple.

It's just that some people don't seem to want to spend the lonely and lonely Chinese New Year's Eve like this.

"The two of you are bothered."

Luo Yang put down his chopsticks and opened the door, and there was a young man in pajamas who was familiar to Luo Yang standing at the door.

"Mr. Jimo, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, it's so late, is there anything wrong?"

"Don't keep a straight face when you see me."

Ji Moyu raised his hands, and Luo Yang noticed that his hands were carrying a hot pot, which contained a very beautiful cold soup, and the soup was soaked with rich ingredients that had not yet been cooked.

"It's too lonely and cold in the mountains todayβ€”I'm here to have a good time!"

Luo Yang only felt a little funny, and the expression on his face softened, he didn't have any opinion, but he felt that he still had to ask for the opinion of his cohabitant, so he turned his head and shouted in the direction of the living room: "Okay, Fan Linyue?" ”

"Of course not, let him go back!"

Luo Yang turned his head again and showed a regretful expression towards Ji Moyu, who immediately yelled at the room: "These are all fresh ingredients full of spiritual power in the mountains, it's a pity that you don't taste them!" ”

"Then come in!"

Ji Moyu walked into the house with the pot, and there seemed to be a person behind him, it was a girl, Luo Yang felt as if he hadn't seen her. The girl walked past him and smiled politely at him.

"Who is she?"

"It's the demon fox last time, her name is Beiyouqin, I saw her walking alone in the mountains and forests, so I asked her to come with me."

"What about Jinghuai?"

"Of course she is going back to S City to celebrate the New Year's Eve with her family." Ji Moyu had already come to the living room, and after a while of chatting with Fan Linyue, who was smiling all over his face, he put the pot on the table, turned on the electricity, and then began to sit on the chair, looking at a few people like an old father. The soup in the pot gradually rose boiling bubbles, making the ingredients rise and fall up and down, and Fan Lin leaned on the table, staring at the pot with his eyes.

As the boiling mist wafts out of the pot, the smell of food, mostly some of the mountain's winter specialties β€” such as bamboo shoots and spinach, and fish balls kneaded with fresh fish meat, as well as some mushrooms. Fan Linyue's vision was disturbed by the hazy mist, but it did not prevent him from showing a salivating expression towards the hot pot.

"I'll show you first, are you ready?"

The first chopsticks are of course Fan Linyue, who can't wait, he picked up a fish ball and stuffed it into his mouth, but he was not afraid of being hot, Bei Youqin also picked up a fish ball, and blew after mashing it in the bowl, and then handed the bowl to the orange on the side, the cat came forward to sniff it, and began to eat in small bites.

"Hey, cats can't eat human food!" Fan Lin began to show off the pet knowledge he and Luo Yang had consulted together, but heard Ji Moyu on the side suddenly cough twice.

"These are pure fish meatballs, I haven't added any seasoning to them, and animals can eat them."

"Oh...... Hmph, no wonder it doesn't smell. "Because it was just gobbling it up just now, Fan Linyue really didn't feel the natural delicacy contained in the fresh fish." Mountain god, do you have any condiments with you? ”

"Of course, there is."

Ji Moyu smiled mysteriously, took out a glass bottle with red powder from his pocket and handed it to Fan Linyue, Luo Yang saw such a scene, and suddenly remembered the glass debris that was scattered on the ground by this impertinous ghost in the kitchen before, and couldn't help but feel a chill.

Of course, this time Fan Linyue didn't crush the cruet again, but just casually poured a large lump of red powder into the bowl.

"That's enough."

"......," Ji Moyu watched with some dumbfounded, as the young man dipped a full layer of vegetables and quickly put it in his mouth. You...... Does it feel delicious? ”

"It's okay, it's okay...... Cough...... It's so spicy......" Fan Lin slowly put down his chopsticks, his hands suddenly drooped, and then he lay on the table, and the eyes on his face became hollow.

"It is recommended that you drink plenty of hot water." Bei Youqin handed over a glass of water at the right time, and Fan Lin poured it violently for a while, and finally eased up a little.

The heat rising from the hot pot gradually warmed up the air around the originally slightly chilly, and several people sat around the hot pot, eating the food harvested in the mountains and forests, while watching this year's New Year's party.

In the middle of the night, several people greeted that moment together.

Three, two, one......

The New Year's bell rings on TV, and the sparse sound of firecrackers rings outside the house, heralding the arrival of the new year. Ji Moyu clapped his hands and said like a parent: "Children, what New Year's wish did you make just now?" ”

"In the new year, I want to play with Jinghuai again," said Miss Demon Fox.

"So I can deliver on time." Of course, this is Luo Yang's unchanging wish for thousands of years.

"Huh? Do you want to make a wish? "Fan Linyue touched his head, every previous year on Chinese New Year's Eve he watched the TV pass in a daze, he never had this idea." Then ...... It's good to stay at home for a year! ”

"Hah...... You're not bad right now. Ji Moyu smiled a little helplessly. Okay, I know you won't think about it, so I made a wish for you. That's the new year, the more Fan Lin wants to be a good baby that everyone likes, don't make trouble......"

"Hey! Stinky Mountain God, this is your own wish! ”

"Hehe......" Ji Moyu flashed to the side, dodging the fist that the young man hammered at him, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
