Xiaoxiao was very moved after reading it, and encouraged Chang Jin to set up a stall at the corner of the street to make some money for the New Year.
Looking at the appearance of the little girl's wealth fan, Chang Jin knocked on her head with a smile and said nonsense.
But how to say, the first Spring Festival that I was reborn into this world has finally arrived. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family gathered together to eat tea and fruits.
These refreshments and melons and fruits are also exquisite, most of them are auspicious mouthfuls: eating longevity fruits, meaning immortality, eating red dates, symbolizing the early arrival of spring, eating persimmons, everything is good......
Chang Jin's parents died early, and there are only two brothers and sisters in the family, even if Xing Suer is added, there are only three of them. So he didn't talk about so many rules, he gave incense to his parents, and when he kept it until the second watch, Chang Jin asked the two of them to go back to bed early and keep the New Year alone.
Being bored alone, Chang Jin simply found a miscellaneous book and read it at night. At the third watch, he suddenly moved in his heart, stepped out of the door, and said to the air: "Brother Tu, you are here"
"Hehe, Yunsheng, I'm bored alone, I'm here to find you for a drink!" The black mist dissipated in mid-air, transforming into a black-faced man. It turned out that Tu Yifang came to the door, and he was still carrying some wine, meat, melons and fruits in his hand.
"My little brother is bored and wants to find someone to have a drink."
The two sat down in the gazebo in the backyard and served wine and food to drink.
While drinking, Chang Jin turned his head to look into the distance, and Xiaoqian, who was bored in Shuifu, also came to the house.
After introducing each other to them, the three gods sat down and continued to drink, and before they knew it, it was already five watches, and the sound of chickens crowing around them came, and then many people began to light firecrackers, and the laughter and noise of children from time to time entered the ears.
These customs have been read in the "Junzhou Chronicles" of the previous dynasty: "The first day of the first month...... The rooster crows, first bursting firecrackers and burning grass in front of the court to ward off evil spirits. ”
The sound of firecrackers made Chang Jin ripple suddenly, and he felt that the talisman in his body was stimulated, and he couldn't help but shake.
When he was surprised, his faces changed when Xiaoqian and Tu Yifang both changed. Xiao Qian was better, but Tu Yifang's face was extremely ugly.
"Brother Tu, what's wrong?"
"Yunsheng, the yang energy in the county is too heavy, and it is outside my divine domain, I can't stay for a long time, I have to leave. Tu Yifang said with difficulty.
At this time, the form he conjured up began to have a trace of black mist coming out. Fortunately, the incense fire was suppressed by mental power, and if it was an ordinary ghost thing, I am afraid that it would have already collapsed and not formed by now.
"Childe, the same is true for Xiaoqian. Xiao Qian's appearance did not change, but there was a little horror in her tone.
Knowing that what they said was true, Chang Jin hurriedly stretched out his hand and waved it, condensed two talismans, and sent them to the hands of the two gods: "In this case, our wine banquet is over, and we will have time to drink it again in the future." If you hold this talisman, you should be able to resist the yang energy in the city in a short time."
Xiao Qian and Tu Yifang didn't shirk either, and flew away after taking it, disappearing into the void in a moment.
Seeing them off, Chang Jin sat in the pavilion, and the Yin God had already floated out in a few breaths, standing in mid-air.
At this moment, the sound of crackling firecrackers is constant, and the noise of children is constantly in the ears. Leaning over and looking down, although the night is bleak in the distance, the city is bright, and the lights of thousands of homes are like a bright Milky Way in the sky. Looking closely, the popularity of every household is boiling, and countless blood and people are rushing to the sky, gathering together, with the county government as the center, shrouding the entire county in it.
The people's hearts are like knives, luck is like tides, and they are as brilliant as the sun. Even if he occupies the land priesthood and is in the divine domain, he feels that the heat wave is hot at this time, scorching the Yin God, no wonder Xiao Qian and they dare not stay for a long time.
In this realm, neither of them could bear it, let alone those ordinary monsters and ghosts. If you have the courage to enter the city now, you will definitely be burned by the scorching yang energy.
This is the will of the people, the people are like insects, ants, rats and snakes, they are indeed very weak, but once they are gathered, even those immortals who are high above do not dare to ignore them.
Although the ants are small, they can still bite an elephant to death after a certain amount of time.
It is no different from the earth in the afterlife, on the first day of the new year, the whole city greets the new year.
Chang Jin didn't have any relatives in the county seat, so he went to the academy's house in the morning and continued to stay at home in the afternoon.
The afterglow of the sunset is golden, enveloping the county seat of Tongqu, it is getting late, and many people in the county town are cooking smoke, a peaceful atmosphere.
At the gate of the county seat, a few soldiers guarding the gate lazily leaned on the base of the city wall to bask in the sun, and a man in a sheepskin jacket gathered next to them to chat.
This idler's name is Zhao Ershi, and his home is not far from the city gate, so he is very familiar with the soldiers guarding the gate: "Brothers, a few days ago I went to the king's shopkeeper to buy wine, and I heard him say that the one named Hong Dagong in the south is making trouble again, is it really ......?"
"Second Brother Zhao, you listen to the nonsense of the shopkeeper Wang. He is a pickled wine seller, where can he get serious news. Has Hong Dagong been killed by officers and soldiers from time to time?"
"Killing is killing, it is said that Hong Dagong will have some evil methods, and he borrowed the corpse to return his soul, and cast a spell to attract the ...... of the divine soldiers."
Although there was constant news during this period of time, and there were rebellions in several southern states of the Dayan Dynasty from time to time, these were far away from Tongqu County, and everyone listened to them as jokes and didn't pay much attention to them.
Talking about the matter of Nanfang Sheng, several people slowly brought the topic to the front again, "Second Brother Zhao, how much did you win when you went to Lao Gun's gambling house yesterday?"
"Don't mention it, I haven't opened a hu yesterday," mentioning the matter of entering the gambling house, the person who spoke at first became annoyed, "From the beginning to the end, if it weren't for the fact that our eldest man called back to eat, I estimate that I would have lost all the money I earned this month." ”
"I said Zhao Er, don't bet if you have bad luck. Your eldest man is not too young, save some money and send him to a private school for a few years, is it really better than anything else? You are so foolish and have fiddled with all the money, what should you do when the eldest man grows up and marries a daughter-in-law?"
The other party's words made Zhao Lao Er stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "Brother, how can a child from a poor family have the life to be the champion." What's the use of going to a private school? It's not a one-pass test. With this kind of effort, it is better to send him to the store to be a buddy when he is older, and he can earn some silver every month......"
"Why don't you kid open your mind, what's wrong with the children of the poor, you see that half of those talented men in our county are from poor people. When you are admitted to Xiucai, you will be given food by the official family every month, and you don't have to kneel when you see the county officials. If you can be promoted, you can be an official if you are lucky. I just can't pass the test, I can read a few more words, and I will be an accountkeeper or something in the future, and I will have more money than the money given by my buddy every month......"
Before he could finish speaking, the old soldier suddenly fell silent, stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance.
"Wangtou, are you possessed by a demon?" a soldier next to him saw him suddenly stiffen and joked with a smile. Then he subconsciously looked outside the official road and was stunned on the spot.
I saw that under the afterglow of the setting sun, a yellow-brown beast showed its body shape more than ten zhang away, and there was a huge white spot on the top of its head, which was very conspicuous.
"Big bug, big bug...... Close the gates!" the veteran was the first to react and shouted a few times.
"Oh......" The rest of the soldiers rushed towards the city gate.
However, Zhao Ershi, the idle man who was talking eloquently just now, was completely stunned, watching the tiger that was so tall that he approached step by step, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground.
"Zhao Lao Er, you are looking for death, don't run away. When the veteran saw this, he hurriedly dragged him to the city gate.
Before they could close the gates, the tiger suddenly went berserk, roared a few times, and then stomped on the ground on all fours, and swooped down with a strong fishy wind.
"Damn!!" Several soldiers were completely stupid, and they scattered and fled, only hating their father and mother for having two legs.
As for Zhao Laoer, no one cares about it anymore. At this time, of course, it is important to take care of your own life.
It's just that the big worm didn't look at Zhao Lao Er, who was paralyzed on the ground, but rushed directly through the doorway and rushed towards the county.
"Wang Head?!" At this moment, these soldiers gathered around the veteran in shock.
"Oops, beat the drums, enemy attack!" Hearing the constant exclamations from the county, the veteran came to his senses and scolded loudly.
Let such a fierce beast rush into the city, I don't know how many people will suffer. In the end, the county order will be alarmed, and their heads will definitely be taken to calm the people.
At his urging, several of his men entered the city tremblingly, and then beat the drums.
When the drum sounded, many families did not understand what was happening, after all, there had been no war in Tongqu County for many years.
The white-spotted tiger ran all the way along the street, and there were countless people who looked stupid.
Before they could see clearly, the big worm was already galloping by.
"What did you just run by...... Big worm?" asked one of the bolder people in disbelief.
"It's a big bug," the people around him replied tremblingly.
"Damn, big worm, big worm has entered the city!"
