Chapter 54: Chinese New Year's Eve

"Just look at it, you still want to touch it with your dirty hands, and you are not afraid of staining the aura on the treasure." Yu Jinsong's eyes were quick, and he quickly closed the lid and withdrew the wooden box.

Zhu and Hou also taunted.

"You are so thick-skinned, how can you be qualified to touch such a treasure?"

"That's it."

Mo Hansheng was not angry when he heard this, but turned around with a slight smile.

The three of them didn't notice that when the wind just rose, Mo Hansheng quietly hit the golden hairpin under the cover of heavy snow.

He didn't want to entangle with the three of them anymore, shook his head and went straight into the valley.

"Phew! Pretending. Senior Brother Hou scolded, turned his head and asked, "Senior Brother, since Senior Sister Hongmei is not here, we ......."

"I'm just waiting here for Senior Sister Hongmei to come back, and I must see her one step earlier than that kid, so that Senior Sister can feel my sincerity and sincerity." After that, Yu Jinsong found a relatively clean place and sat down cross-legged.

Seeing this, Zhu and Hou didn't know how to respond for a while, but they heard Yu Jinsong speak again: "Two junior brothers, you can wait with me here." ”

The two of them were dumbfounded.

"Senior brother, it's freezing, why don't we wait here stupidly?"

"You and I cultivators, why not be afraid of some wind and snow!"

Not to mention how Yu Jinsong and the three of them were outside the valley, at this time, Mo Hansheng had already returned to Qingfeng Ju.

He looked at Li Hongmei's residence through the beaded curtain, and there was no one inside.

When he returned to the bamboo building, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he pushed open the bamboo door, and sure enough, he saw a red figure standing in the middle of the room.

"You're coming down." Li Hongmei turned her head to look at him, in a declarative tone.

"Yes." Mo Hansheng also looked at her, calmly looking at each other.

"You should know where you are. If something goes wrong, even I will suffer. Li Hongmei's expression was calm, but Mo Hansheng could clearly feel the anger hidden in her words.

He didn't explain anything, just said calmly, "I know." ”

"So what's your reason for going down?"

Mo Hansheng took out some scattered things from the Qiankun Ring and put them on the table.

Li Hongmei glanced at it and asked, "What are these?" ”

Mo Hansheng looked at her and said with some surprise: "It's just some ordinary New Year's goods, can't you see it?" ”

"Some impressions, as if I saw them when I was a child, but the time is a little long ago, and the memory is too vague." Li Hongmei looked at him with a strange expression, "You went down the mountain to prepare for these?" ”

Mo Hansheng explained: "In the past, I would prepare some New Year's goods when I was at home for the New Year, but I couldn't change this habit for a while,"

The anger in Li Hongmei's eyes dissipated a little, and she picked up a couplet on the table and opened it.

Mo Hansheng said: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and according to custom, every household must post Spring Festival Couplets. ”

"Well, I remember." Li Hongmei nodded, as if she had forgotten to blame him for going down the mountain privately, turned her head and asked again, "What should I do?" ”

"Just stick it on both sides of the gate."

"So what are you waiting for, let's do it." Li Hongmei took the Spring Festival couplets out of the bamboo building, looking quite excited.

After a while, the two pasted the Spring Festival couplets.

Shanglian: Smooth sailing

Downlink: All the best

Horizontal batch: financial resources are widely advanced.

Li Hongmei smiled and read the Spring Festival couplets on the general door, touched the blessing word pasted upside down on the window lattice, and turned her head to stare at Mo Hansheng.

Mo Hansheng was a little uncomfortable by her, and said weakly: "I only prepared this pair." ”

He just wanted to find a reason to hide his true purpose of going down the mountain, so he temporarily bought this Spring Festival couplet on the way back, and he didn't think too much about it.

Li Hongmei got angry again and went back to her wooden house without saying a word.

Mo Hansheng shook his head and returned to the house.

It didn't take long for Li Hongmei to push the door in and throw down two pieces of red cloth cut into the shape of Spring Festival couplets on the bookcase.

Li Hongmei tinkered with her hands and feet on the bookcase for a while, and handed the ink pen to him: "Quick, write mine." ”

Mo Hansheng looked at her with an expectant expression, and then remembered a pair he saw in a book not long ago, and wrote: The spring rain is silky for thousands of years, and the red plum is dotted with thousands of mountains.

Li Hongmei picked up the red cloth and read it several times, she was very happy, and pasted the red cloth in front of her humble cabin.

Li Hongmei's eyes were burning, and she asked curiously, "What other customs are there?" ”

Mo Hansheng thought for a while and said: "When I was a child, my family was poor, and I didn't pay much attention to it, that is, I set off firecrackers to drive away the New Year beasts, eat Lantern Festival to celebrate reunion, miss my parting relatives and so on. ”

"It's impossible to set off firecrackers, the movement is too loud, and it will be troublesome to attract the deacon on Egret Peak." Li Hongmei frowned, and muttered softly: "Reunion...... What is the Lantern Festival like and how to do it? ”

Mo Hansheng briefly described the appearance and taste of the Lantern Festival, shook his head and said, "I won't do it." ”

"Why don't I try it?" Li Hongmei hesitated for a moment, eager to try.

"I didn't have any ingredients, and I didn't have a kitchen here."

"I can cook in my cabin." Li Hongmei was originally a resolute woman, and she was going back to her cabin after speaking.

Mo Hansheng asked, "Do you need my help?" ”

Li Hongmei waved her hand with her back to him and said, "The book says that the gentleman is far away from cooking, and this kind of thing is naturally left to a woman." ”

Mo Hansheng smiled, happy to be idle.

The sky was getting dark, and night fell, Li Hongmei returned to the bamboo building with two bowls of Lantern Festival.

Two people sit at a table, one bowl per person.

The lights were dim, Mo Hansheng looked down at the red and white rice balls in the bowl, and fell silent for a while, his thoughts were thousands of miles away, as if he had returned to the ordinary small fishing village in his memory.

There was a dinging sound, the wooden chopsticks touched the wall of the bowl, and Mo Hansheng picked up a rice ball and gently put it in his mouth.

Li Hongmei's eyes were staring at him tightly, and her face was slightly worried: "How does it taste?" ”

Maybe it's because she's so sweet, and there's a lot of sugar in the soup, which is a little greasy.

Mo Hansheng replied truthfully: "It's very sweet." ”

Li Hongmei was very happy, picked up a rice ball and tasted it, and the smile on her face turned into an embarrassing smile in a blink of an eye.

Mo Hansheng looked as usual and continued to eat rice balls.

Seeing this, Li Hongmei couldn't help but dissuade herself: "If you don't like it, don't force yourself to eat it." ”

"I probably didn't eat it last year, so this year's dumplings are so sweet." Mo Hansheng looked at her calmly, "You are the same, the hardships you have endured in the past will be doubled in the days to come." ”

"Why do you say this all of a sudden?" Li Hongmei was slightly stunned, then looked down at the bottom of the bowl, the soup noodles were sparkling.

Mo Hansheng looked at her and said, "The New Year is coming, I always have to say a few words of blessing." ”

"Is it also custom?" Li Hongmei muttered as she stared at the soup bowl and muttered, before looking up again after a while, "I won't say." ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Silence returned to the room, and for a moment only the sound of chopsticks moving.

After a while, Mo Hansheng finished eating the rice balls and asked, "What's going on with the antidote?" ”

Li Hongmei put down the dishes and chopsticks when she heard this, and said calmly: "All the medicinal materials have been prepared, only the last medicinal guide is missing." ”

Mo Hansheng stared at the slightly flickering fire on the candlestick and asked, "Trouble?" ”

"Yes, the honey of the Blood Poison Bee is needed." Li Hongmei got up and opened the window and looked southwest, "After many inquiries, I have learned that only in Yunmeng Canyon can I have a chance to find this thing." ”

"Yunmeng Canyon?"

"Do you remember the Devil's Crying Forest?"

Mo Hansheng nodded, the Ghost Crying Forest was the place where he and Li Hongmei designed the ambush of the human traffickers.

The fierce beasts in the forest are dormant, poisonous insects are raging, and low-level monks enter it, and it is unlikely that they will suffer a big loss for a while.

Li Hongmei said: "Yunmeng Canyon is not far from the south of the Ghost Crying Forest, and the poisonous insects and fierce beasts in the Ghost Cry Forest are all low-level creatures that cannot survive in the Yunmeng Canyon and escape. ”

Mo Hansheng was silent, he and Li Hongmei had been to the Devil Crying Forest three times, and they were cautious each time.

Even so, I couldn't help but alarm some poisonous insects and beasts, and it took a lot of effort to get out.

Listening to Li Hongmei's description, those murderous creatures turned out to be just the remnants of the defeated soldiers who escaped from the Yunmeng Canyon, which shows that the sinister degree is extraordinary.

While thinking about it, Li Hongmei spoke again: "Not only that, although there are many dangers in the Yunmeng Canyon, there are also some rare opportunities hidden, which inevitably attract the covetousness of many other sects and some loose cultivators. ”
