On the last night before the end of the year, it snowed heavily all night, and it began to fall in the evening of the first day until dawn the next morning, and it snowed heavily all night. It was not only Zion's side that went down, but also Madagarh's side that fell overnight. When Elty woke up in the morning, she opened the door and saw the snow all over the trees.

Frightened, Elty panicked and ran to the corner of the courtyard, where Asban's improved bread tree had been planted. This thing is a necessary tool for her to escape from the temple in the future, but she must not miss anything.

Panicked at his precious tree, seeing that it was still upright under the heavy snow, safe and sound, Ertie let go of his suspense. Then he routinely watered it with holy water every day, and quietly took out the leaves of the Elven Tree of Life left by Asban and nourished it with holy light magic. This is her pass to enter and exit the Elven King City in the future, and she plans to visit the mysterious and beautiful Elven City when she has the opportunity in the future, and to achieve this, she is counting on it.

Ever since the bread tree was planted, Elti has been taking care of it every day, drawing the best holy water from the temple to water it carefully. Therefore, the bread tree originally from the elven clan grew very well in the temple of the Holy Maiden, and in addition to exuding its original joyful aura, it also had an additional aura of holy light.

This situation was probably a variable that neither Xu Zheng nor Asban expected at that time, the bread tree had completely dissolved with the breath of the temple after being irrigated with holy water, just like a part of the temple itself, and no one except Ertie could detect its anomaly.

Now, thanks to the clever location of the Elti planting it. The bread tree that grew next to the courtyard had grown to nearly seven or eight meters tall - the elven king's shot was really unmoving, and its growth was amazing. In just a few months, its crown has protruded from the wall, and it has been able to accomplish its purpose of borrowing it to slip out.

However, despite this purpose, Elti does not plan to use it now. Because it is too small to affect the future plan because of the small impatience, it is too small to lose the big, so Ertie has always endured the strong desire to reunite with her friends, and still quietly guards this bread tree. The old monkeys of the temple were too shrewd, and Elty didn't want to leave them with the slightest suspicion.

As soon as he finished raising the leaves, he listened to his maiden call: "Holy Maiden Sheila, where are you?"

Ertie put away the leaves properly and replied gently, "I'm here." ”

The two waiting girls came slowly. I saw Eltien standing under the tree, looking up at the tree she had planted with her own hands.

"It's snowing and it's a bit cold. One of the maidens draped a fur coat over Elti and said, "Holy Maiden Sheila, even if you are a holy woman, you must pay attention to your body." ”

Eltie smiled coquettishly, "Thank you." But there are no outsiders here, can you just call me Elti and not Sheila?"

One of the two women looked disapprovingly, but did not say anything against it. The other smiled good-naturedly and said, "Okay." Elti. ”

Elty smiled, this is her own progress. Although the two ladies are tasked with keeping an eye on themselves. But like Xu Zheng, he exchanged sincerity for sincerity, and what he got was their concessions, as well as the sincerity that infiltrated into them little by little when he was indifferent to himself. It's good, it's really good!

"It's cold, don't stay outside for too long. ”

"Okay. Ertie nodded obediently, and tilted her head again: "Why don't you go into the house and I'll make you two labels of celestial star chamomile tea, which is a specialty of the elf clan, add some maple sugar to it and taste good." ”

"A specialty of the elves?"

"Well, it was given by an elf friend. Do you want to try it? Rest assured, there's nothing going on in this way. ”

The two women are a little moved, Bi Yi's days in the temple of the Holy Maiden are too lonely, and doing something they like without violating the principle can pass the time every day seems too long. Because of this, they did not object to Elty's behavior of planting flowers and plants, and did not report it to the higher-ups.

"Okay. Drink some hot tea in cold weather. Pretty good. ”

"Please follow me. Elty narrowed her eyes and smiled, hiding the cunning in her eyes. This kind of strategy is called subtle, even if you can't abduct two women to fall into your camp. At least the relationship will become close. And when the relationship is close, isn't it much easier to get things done?

While walking towards the place where she lived, the evil-eyed contemporary saint was already thinking about the Tianxing chamomile tea, and the two of them had accepted it, as well as the Jiangcai that they tried to make last time, the lollipop from last time, the pollen skin lotion from last time, and the ...... last time Both of them went from initial resistance to acceptance, and then to later liking. This shows that the two wait-in-waitings are gradually accepting the fun new things they have brought out. Sugar-coated cannonballs, this is Xu Zheng's statement, and then tested by Ertie himself, they are really powerful!

So...... Do you want to teach these two landlords to play fighting. She and Xu Zheng's gang had played in Arisio's house, but they knew the charm of attracting people. Or, she can lure the two of them to play, and don't explain the rules, and set up some colorful heads, traps or something, so that the two women will definitely owe her a lot of debts. And creditors, naturally, can naturally put forward some 'unreasonable' demands.

Oh, drink~~~ Eltie shrunk her little face in her leather coat and smiled, and the look in her eyes was like Eve who lured Adam to try the grass fruit, and like the handsome uncle Quincy who was full of intrigue and trickery.

When Xu Zheng came straight in the morning, he pushed open the door, and saw a full of silver wrapped in silver, and the entire water Tianqin was thickly pressed by the heavy snow.

I have to say that there is no industrial pollution in the time and space of magic and sword in Arris, and the air is very good. Xu Zheng stood at the door, took a big breath of the morning air, only to feel that the cold feeling penetrated through his chest and pancreas, and the whole person suddenly became full of energy. Look at the vast snow-white land in the distance and in the near distance. The low temperature of the night also froze the small lake, and the water surface was covered with a thin layer of ice, and then a layer of white snow floated, clean and beautiful, and only the genius of nature can sketch this kind of beautiful scenery that no more great painter can paint.

In a good mood, Xu Zheng couldn't help but squint and sing in Chinese dragging the Beijing dialect: "Ruixue Zhaofeng year, next year will be another bumper harvest, long miles and miles~"

Someone next to him chuckled and said, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, what are you singing?" But it's weird and nice. ”

As soon as Xu Zheng turned his head, he saw the old housekeeper dragging a mop and slowly clearing the snow there. The old man's movements are very leisurely, revealing a calmness of years of precipitation, and his posture walks slowly in the snow, which has also become a scene in the snow.

Xu Zheng grinned: "The local dialect of my hometown is to look forward to a better year in the coming year." After speaking, he happily ran over and snatched the broom from the old housekeeper and said, "The weather is cold, and your legs and feet can't stand the cold." Don't sweep. ”

"Don't sweep any line. Old Terry said: "The heavy snow has covered the road, and it is inconvenient to walk without sweeping it." Today is the last day of the old year. I reckon that His Excellency the Lord Regent will come over in a moment, and it will not be good for him to see the snow all over the courtyard. Maybe he thought I was lazy. ”

"It's fine. Staying here is just right for the gang to build a snowman to play. ”

No, the forests on the elven side are like spring all year round, and it never snows heavily. Starbadet was excited for a while when she saw heavy snow for the first time in Madagarh. If she sees the snow piled up in the colder East Continent this night, she will not be happy to turn the sky upside down? And Lingmeimei, it seems that it doesn't snow on Dwarf Island, and she must be very excited to see it.

Before the words fell, Xing Badai had already stomped her feet and breathed on her palms from the house, and shouted happily when she saw the snow in the sky: "Ah." It's so snowy!

Xu Zheng said to her, "You can go and build a snowman to play." ”

Starbardet cheered, "I'm going to wake up the others." Ran Tian happily turned around and ran.

Xu Zheng turned around and spread his hands at Terry: "See, you don't need to sweep it, naturally someone will deal with them." ”

After a while, there were more and more voices in the water lyre, all of them went out to look, and then shouted. There is only the snake king, the snake is afraid of the cold by nature, and even if she reaches this stage, she still can't get up. The eyelids of both eyes were shrugged, and he held the red-haired little fox who was still sleeping in his arms as a stove maker.

Old Terry couldn't help but look at these energetic young people with doting eyes, shook his head a little impatiently, and was waiting to ask Xu Zheng how to prepare for the dinner party at the end of the year. I saw that the elf girl with long ears didn't know where to get a hat to cover her long pointed ears, and was dragging a confused young man out. The girl covered her long ears, and in addition to her real appearance, she really looked like a Terran girl.

"Sauron, blow this way. Blow the snow together, don't use dragon breath. ”

Sauron was caught in a daze, still dizzy in his head, commanding and moving, and opened his mouth to blow on the ground.

Terry's eyes widened as he saw that the breath came out of his mouth and turned into a hurricane, blowing the entire floor outside the front hall so clean that not a single snowflake could be found. The girl with long ears, Terry, knows that she is from the elf race, and what race is this confused brother from to be able to have such a big mouth?

That's a ...... What a big breath!

Star Badai was embarrassed, she didn't expect this result.

The Eagle King laughed twice, and one rolled over and jumped into the air, stretching out his wings behind his back and flapping back and forth twice.

So, the heavy snow came back, more than before, piled up high in the small courtyard, like a small snowy mountain.

Old Terry only felt a headache, and it turned out that the two who looked like people were not either. How can a man have such a big breath, and how can a man have wings on his back?

Come on, he'd better not get involved. When the person is old and in bad spirits, he still goes back to sleep in Longjue...... If I knew it, I wouldn't get up and sweep, and I would sweep it back and forth.

Old Terry sighed and left, but Snow was fanned back by the Eagle King. At the moment, a bunch of humans, non-humans, and demonic beasts all happily rushed out to build snowmen, giggling and laughing, and soon piled up a lot of four dislike in the courtyard.

The snake king was so cold that he couldn't do it, and he was sensitive to find that the guards at the door were very warm, so he naturally stretched his limbs sleepily and wrapped them around people. She was simple-minded, instinctively looking for a warm source of heat. But she just got up, and before she had time to paint on her face, she felt extremely beautiful, but in fact, she was terrible and put on heavy makeup, revealing a beautiful face that was originally beautiful and sexy and soft. The beauty gave her arms, or a beautiful woman who was too beautiful to hold herself, but she made the young soldier who was held by her red-faced, and could only stand stiffly like a javelin, so embarrassed that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

In this way, the little red-haired fox was thrown to the ground by this selfish snake girl, and the little fox curled up on the ground and continued to sleep. It was not affected at all.

The rest of the people were all building snowmen, and the snow was so fluffy that it was not easy to get it, and everyone piled up chubby fools, with heads, bodies, and limbs all balls.

Xu Zheng's heart moved, first using fire magic to melt the ice and snow, then condensing them into a four-square-sized ice stone with water magic, and finally took out a knife and carved on it, trying to carve an ice sculpture.

It's just that the idea is plump, but the reality is very skinny. Xu Zheng's artistic level. Everybody understands...... He wanted to carve a majestic version of himself, but the end result was a thing that no one could recognize.

"What kind of monster is this? It's kind of like me. It's just that the tail is smaller than mine. When the fox king woke up and asked seriously, Xu Zheng burst into tears.

Where is the tail? Obviously, it is the heroic posture of holding his sword and looking up to the sky to sing to the sky. The protruding section is a sword, not a tail!

Although the result was a failure, it aroused the interest of others to make ice sculptures. A group of people laughed and laughed again, looking for all kinds of tools to carve ice sculptures.

After a while, Xu Zheng could see that everyone else had artistic cells, but he didn't. The ice sculpture made by Sanduoduo is still active, and it can be filled with the courtyard. While shouting, he shouted: "Attention, pay attention! No enemy invasion has been detected!"

Well, combining the gnome project with ice sculptures, the bearded little gnome is really good.

Then there is the ice sculpture made by the elf brothers and sisters, which is the ice flower of the jade tree, which is in full swing, lifelike and real, and the whole body is crystal clear. It is so beautiful that people only dare to hold their breath and look at it from afar, and dare not touch it. Elves, a race that loves art, can really beautify wherever they go.

There is also a mermaid statue in Tember. It is estimated that it is based on his stinky Naga sister, and it is also amazingly vivid. It's just that her boobs are so small? They seem to be big in my memory...... That's right, the hotness level of Ji Lixie's body, although it can't be compared to Lucina Wei'an, is definitely a cow level!

There are others, all of them are doing a good job, even the wolf-shaped ice sculpture made by Yasan Gren is very similar, very powerful and chic.

In the end, look at his own, and in comparison, Xu Zheng really can't recognize what he carved.

In order not to make himself look too defeated, Xu Zheng continued to show off the amount of information about his travelers, and embedded a magic lamp in his four-like ice sculpture. Immediately, a ball of bright light radiated from the inside of the ice sculpture, and it finally had a dreamy taste.

But the fox king immediately said again: "Xu Zheng, your little cock is on fire." ”

Tears running ...... again Xu Zheng decided to ignore this 'innocent' evil fox.

Seeing Sauron there trying to carve a miniature version of the golden dragon out with great interest, Xu Zheng asked him, "Sleepy Dragon, what do you want to eat at night?"

As soon as he heard that there was something to eat, Sauron immediately became interested: "Whatever, anything." The food of the Terrans seems to be delicious, as long as the amount is large, I am afraid that there will not be enough. ”

I turned my head and asked a few more, and the answer was similar to this, whatever I eat, anyway, everyone believes in Xu Zheng's cooking skills.

Xu Zheng himself has a headache, casual? The more casual the problem, the more difficult it is to deal with. Is it possible to make hot pot again like last year? Hot pot is very troublesome, and there is no guarantee that everyone can eat spicy. Besides, the new year will have a new trick, and every year will be the same, so what's the fun.

At the end of the year, just like the original time and space for the New Year, it is natural to ask all relatives and friends to get together and have a lively eating, drinking and gathering. So what you eat is important, and what people get together to eat is even more important.

Looking at the sky, their father and Uncle Carlo should be able to rush back to the imperial capital in the afternoon, and whatever they eat must be prepared by the afternoon. So, what else can everyone get together and enjoy the joyful atmosphere of reunion besides hot pot?

In Xu Zheng's heart, the answer is dumplings.

In my previous life, as a person who couldn't move, what I envied most in my heart were those families who could be reunited. They always sit together, make dumplings, eat dumplings, set off firecrackers, watch the New Year together, and shout loudly at twelve o'clock: "It's the New Year!"

Although he was standing at the pinnacle of his life at that time, he yearned for this ordinary and real ordinary life. Don't ask for anything else, just want to be able to love people, to be loved, on this special day at the end of the year, there is nothing else in my heart, only the true feelings of the world that are getting older and more fragrant.

Making dumplings, in Xu Zheng's opinion, is the strongest way to taste the New Year. The fragrant and delicious dumplings, the real smiling faces behind the steam, are really the best things in the world. In such an atmosphere, people feel that people are alive and surrounded by beautiful feelings.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a slight dampness in his eyes, and he calmed down for a while before he said to Sauron in a voice without any strangeness: "Why don't you make dumplings and eat them?"

Sauron asked confusedly, "What are dumplings, and what are dumplings?"

Xu Zheng sighed with satisfaction and smiled: "Dumplings, I'm afraid they are the best thing in the New Year." And making dumplings, well, I can't explain it, but when you do, you'll know, that's a very interesting thing. When you sit at the table and eat together, you will feel like the happiest person in the world. ”

"Really?" Sauron said dumbfounded, "I'm not human, but that doesn't stop me from being the happiest dragon in the world, right?"

Xu Zheng was happy and clapped his palms: "Don't play, come and help me do the right thing." ”

The so-called serious thing refers to purchasing ingredients, there is no shortage of meat or anything, and Xu Zheng has also seen leeks in the imperial capital, but it seems that the amount is not very much, maybe you can buy it back if you go to the market early. The rest depends on what's there, anyway, see the tricks, there are many types of dumpling filling, it depends on how you play.

Xu Zheng's cooking methods, people who are familiar with him have seen it, and naturally look forward to the so-called dumplings at night. So after receiving the task, the group all rushed to the market, even the old guy like the Monkey King was very calm to ask Nordin for gold coins, and he also had to learn the appearance of human beings to go to the market to shop.

And then there are people, last year they were all very crowded, and this year there are more Orson Manor and the head of the Warcraft from the Warcraft Forest, and there are more people. The place at the Wilderness Tavern was too small to sit down, so I had to invite Lucina and Quincy here. Then the royal uncle of the Samus family will also be invited, and some people close to the Carlo mercenary group will also be called, as well as classmates who have good relations in Ogma Academy...... Alas, there are a lot of them.

However, at the end of the year, isn't it just to be lively? Making dumplings can also make a banquet, and I am afraid that it is the only time in history. Xu Zheng smiled when he thought of this, and he looked forward to the time of making dumplings more and more.
