Chapter 299: Chinese New Year's Eve Galloping Horses

readx;? When Ye Xi and the others returned to the city by car, the festive atmosphere of the New Year had quietly spread in every street and alley in the city. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In his past and present lives, Ye Xi didn't have any special feelings about the New Year. In the present world, before running out of the Taoist temple, in addition to the sound of firecrackers from time to time under the mountain during the New Year, there is no difference from the usual life, the old Taoist priest is more traditional, although the Taoist temple is electrified, but it is only limited to electric lights, and there is no electrical appliances such as television, the Spring Festival Gala is not visible, deserted. Later, I ran down the mountain to go out to work, although the TV was there, and I saw the Spring Festival Gala, but there was no one to accompany me, so it was even more deserted.

After coming to another world and being brought out of the mountains by Niu Erbo, his situation has improved slightly, but it is also limited. Niu Erbo didn't have any relatives, Ye Xi was a half-grown kid at the time, and the New Year of the two men naturally didn't go anywhere. That is, the villagers in the mountains are simple, and when they know this, they will find all kinds of reasons to come to the door, say some festive words, and send some melons and fruits, so as not to be too lonely.

Now, the number of people is gradually increasing, and there are two people next to him, Huang Lao and Guoli, but the two sides are just a partnership to do business, although as they get along for a long time, the friendship has become stronger, but in the final analysis, Ye Xi is not the Huang family. What's more, this old and young don't look like they can be lively......

Ye Xi felt that there should be no surprises this New Year.

However, the truth was a bit unexpected to him, don't look at the Huang Zhai's popularity, but it is a real medical family. And generally there are things with a background, and there will be no shortage of etiquette rules in all aspects.

Three days before the Chinese New Year, that is, on the day Ye Xi returned, the Jindou Medical Hall was officially closed to the outside world and was no longer open. Then it is all kinds of busyness behind closed doors, cleaning the courtyard, worshipping the ancestral shrine, buying tribute New Year's goods, etc., many things are obviously going according to the procedure, although it is complicated, but Huang Lao and Guoli are also doing it in an orderly manner, sometimes a few bald people will also come to help, and they are also familiar with the way, and it is estimated that this is how they have come over these years.

This year's situation is a bit special, because there are more Ye Xi as a guest, of course, it is impossible to say how special it is, it is nothing more than to buy more New Year's goods, well, there is also an extra day job...... Under the same roof, looking up and not looking down, Ye Xizi is not good at watching this old man and a little busy, so he has to roll up his sleeves to help.

Maybe it's because of the relationship of personal participation, looking at the courtyard house that is gradually taking on a new look, and the door to the happy couplet that he has pasted by himself, Ye Xi unconsciously has a sense of expectation and satisfaction for the New Year.

It is worth mentioning that when worshipping the ancestral shrine, Ye Xi drank a cup of tea, and the tea was handed over to the half-kneeling fruit pear, and Huang Lao looked at it with a smile on the side......

To be honest, he didn't want to drink this cup of tea, because although he was the nominal master of Guoli, the two sides did not have the status of master and apprentice. To tell the truth, Ye Xi did not fulfill his duties as a master. It's just a little girl kneeling to give you tea, and it's too unkind to refuse it.

After all, I drank it.

Of course, it's nothing to see it, it's just a cup of tea, and it doesn't change anything. The relationship between the two sides is as always, the bad taste is coming, and Ye Xi teases this precocious little girl as usual. And for him, an unreliable big proprietor, the precocious little girl should roll her eyes, and she will still roll her ......

Busy and busy, you have to be free.

Finally, the New Year is coming.

In fact, there is not much difference between the New Year of the other world and the New Year of the present world, because the cultural backgrounds and customs of the two are similar, but the former is more cumbersome and based on regulations. The latter can be abbreviated as much as possible, except for some basic procedures, the rest is lost.

Therefore, a more accurate description should be that the New Year of the Atlas is not much different from the New Year of the present world.

For example, setting off firecrackers, such as eating Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner, and vigils......

Approaching evening, the meal was about to come out of the pot, but Ye Xi was a little restless, and finally when Huang Lao, who saw it, opened his mouth to ask, Ye Xi took a breath, got up and scratched his head, and said apologetically: "I want to go out for a while, well, I'll be back in half an hour." ”

Huang Lao didn't ask much, just nodded with a smile.

"Half an hour, no waiting. Guo Li, who had just entered the hall with a hot soup, didn't ask, just calmly dropped a sentence, and then reflexively entered the back kitchen with the soup again.

"Don't worry!" Yu Yin was still in the hall, and Ye Xiren had already jumped out of the door.

Keep your feet on the ground and walk through the roadway. Fortunately, at this time, most of the people in the lanes were preparing to enjoy dinner, and no one was hanging out outside, otherwise they would have to hit the ghosts and touch the bad head during the New Year.

Rushing out of the alley of the old oak tree, Ye Xi looked left and right at the street that was much anger than usual, and couldn't help frowning. The place he went to was a bit far away, and he had to take a taxi, but at this time, there were naturally not many carriages that came out to run life.

Just as Ye Xi was about to walk to the entrance of the street on foot and try his luck, a surprised voice suddenly came from the side, "Hey, isn't this Dr. Ye?"

Ye Xi turned his head and saw an ordinary black shed carriage coming, and the burly man driving was a little familiar, looking here to say hello. Immediately, the curtain of the rear carriage was lifted, and the familiar middle-aged vicissitudes of life, looking at Ye Xi, was also a little stunned.

"Hall Master Huang? and ...... What a coincidence!"

The person who came was Huang Lao's son, Guo Li's father, and Huang Jihuai, the deputy hall master of the original Blood Knife Hall. As for the burly man who drove the car, named Dunzi, Huang Jihuai's personal guard, when the remnants of the Blood Knife Hall were surrounded and broke through that night, Ye Xi met with him.

"Haha, don't you dare to be called Doctor Ye, just call me Dunzi. The burly man laughed innocently, then waved his hand and explained, "This is not a coincidence, we are here for purpose, in fact, the hall master will come at this time of year every year, and he will not ......leave until the vigil is over."

Ye Xi was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. Huang Jihuai comes to keep vigil every year, but it can be clearly seen from Guoli's attitude that he is not welcome, and it is estimated that he can't even enter the door...... It should be in the nearby alleyway, sitting in the carriage, listening to the sound of firecrackers coming from the yellow house, silently accompanying the vigil, and leaving silently......

"Let you drive a car and talk so much!" Huang Jihuai, who got out of the car, frowned and glared at the burly man, then turned his head and saluted with a smile, "Doctor Ye, since you have met, then Huang is here to congratulate you on the New Year!"

After a pause, he looked at it, and his face was puzzled, "Doctor Ye is going out?"

"Master Huang, and Brother Dunzi, Happy New Year!" returned the salute, Ye Xi nodded, "Well, it's a bit urgent, I have to come out." ”

"In this case, there is no delay, let the pier send you. Huang Jihuai didn't ask much when he heard this, and directly waved his hand to invite.

"This ......" Ye Xi was moved when he heard this, and he was a little embarrassed, looking at the carriage Hao Ran and said, "Can I only borrow a horse?"

Huang Jihuai laughed: "Haha, it seems that Dr. Ye is really in a hurry...... Dunzi, still stunned for what to do, quickly untie Maso. ”

"Oooh......"

An ordinary carriage is just a horse, and when it is unloaded, there is only a bare carriage left, which naturally cannot run. Ye Xi touched his nose, becoming more and more embarrassed, and only felt like a roadblocker.

However, when Dunzi handed over the reins with his hands and feet, Ye Xi still took it, turned over on the horse, and hugged his fists: "Thank you, Hall Master Huang!"

Huang Jihuai waved his hand indifferently: "Be polite, be careful, don't let the street patrol officials see it, but at this time they should all go home." ”

In principle, horses are not allowed to run wild in the city, not just in the night, but in any city. Of course, this problem can be big or small, and generally speaking, as long as you are not unlucky enough to bump into the street patrol officer, there will be no problem.

Nodding, Ye Xi pulled the reins, hissing and screaming, like an arrow from the string, galloping out of the horse.

At this time, the streets were really empty, and there were basically no pedestrians and vehicles, which was why Ye Xi dared to say that he would come back in half an hour. The strong wind was blowing, faintly, and a series of popping sounds came from afar, and it was not just a person who was in a hurry to light the firecrackers, the sound was crisp, and it became dull because of the distance.

To the west, to the west, over the center of the city, and to the west......

On a certain street in Xicheng District, a small group of street patrol cavalry slowly turned out of an alley, looking left and right, and there was no one around.

"Captain, there's not even a ghost here, what are we patrolling?"

"Haha, Liao Laosan, I know that you have newly married Fang Meijiao, do you can't help but want to go back. ”

"Fart! Don't you want to go back sooner for the New Year?"

"Hey, I really don't want to. There are people on the left and right, and it doesn't make sense to go back, by the way, I heard that there is an event at the Dongcheng Flower Building tonight, called Yinshi for the New Year, who will go with me to see and see?"

"Yo, Brother Li, do you still know how to recite poetry?"

"Obedient and listening, he will be lewd, and it will be difficult to say poetry. ”

"Haha......"

In the midst of laughter, the captain who was riding the horse in front looked at the empty street, and also shook his head and said: "I understand what the brothers mean, so let's do it, after patrolling this street, we will disband on the spot." ”

When the cavalry heard this, they immediately cheered, if they could go back earlier, who would want to drink the northwest wind outside. But at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves like a dense drum beat suddenly came from afar.

"En?" The cavalry couldn't help frowning when they heard this, and their professional attitude was put aside first, they were street patrol cavalry, of course, they could hear the sound of horses' hooves in such a hurry, it could not be dragging a heavy carriage, it could only be someone galloping in the city.

"Damn, which family is this family that is still walking horses outside for the New Year?"

As mentioned earlier, the problem of galloping horses in the city can be big or small, and the measurement of this size is in the hands of the street patrol officials. So generally speaking, there are very few ordinary people who dare to do this, only those children of rich nobles will be so unscrupulous, because even if something happens, no one will dare to do anything to them.

"Captain?"

"Stop it, let's see where it comes from. The captain squinted at the direction from which the horse's hooves came, waved his hand, and the cavalry dispersed and stood in the street.

"Here we are...... , so fast!"

It was very fast, one moment it was only around the corner, and the next moment it was speeding up again to get closer. Seeing this, the captain frowned, rode his horse forward, and shouted in a deep voice: "The one who comes dismounts, we are Team B in Xicheng District patrolling the streets...... !"

Before the words were finished, the horse's hooves were more urgent, and the captain didn't even have time to see the appearance of the person on the horse, and he felt that a hurricane was whistling in front of him, and the blade was like, and he was busy rolling the saddle and dismounting, avoiding the danger, and then straightening the helmet and turning around in shock, and the more than ten scattered cavalry in the rear were not much better.

And the galloping knight took advantage of this chaotic effort, easily penetrated the defensive line, and without looking at them, he whipped away.

"Damn, chase! It's too arrogant, if you can't catch up with anyone, don't go home for the New Year!"
