Chapter 244: It's New Year
After Shennong planted the five grains, the human race would hold a celebration at the turn of winter and spring to celebrate the harvest and welcome the arrival of spring.
However, after all, there is no fixed date and festival, and when Emperor Shun ascended the throne, Shun sacrificed heaven and earth on this day, and since then, people regard this day as the first day of the year.
This day is the New Year of the Terran race, because it happens to be the turn of winter and spring, so people also call this festival the Spring Festival.
From Shun to Shang, the Spring Festival has become the first major festival of the human race, and every day up to the princes and nobles, down to the ordinary people will wear new clothes to celebrate the arrival of the festival.
It was Xu Siyuan who also changed into a new dress, Xu Siyuan always liked to wear white clothes for so many years, but today's Xu Siyuan is wearing a light red gown.
After all, today is the Spring Festival of the human race, and it is more festive to celebrate the festival in red.
And behind Xu Siyuan was followed by a man and a woman.
The woman was well-behaved and cute, and the man, although he looked young, was also majestic and heroic, which made people dare not look at him directly.
These two people are naturally Xiaoman and Ao Chun.
There was still a light snow in the sky, but the snowflakes could not stop the enthusiasm of the human race, the red lanterns were hung high, and the streets were full of people, including lion and dragon dances, and jugglers.
There were many onlookers, cheering and applauding, and the enthusiasm of the human race dispelled the bitter cold of winter.
Street vendors can be seen everywhere, along the way you can see craftsmen selling clay figurines and wood carvings, and of course, more stalls selling snacks.
Most of the food stalls are small, but all of them are doing brisk business, and the sellers and buyers are all smiling.
Even if the sale is not negotiated, the seller will not forget to say in the end: Happy New Year, and the buyer will naturally wish the seller a happy holiday.
There was laughter and laughter all the way.
After all, there is only one Spring Festival a year, and even if there is sorrow, it must be left until tomorrow.
Money is the easiest thing for Xu Siyuan and the three of them, so Ao Chun bought countless foods for Xiaoman.
Xiao Man was very happy to eat, Xiao Man said to Xu Siyuan: "Dao Chief, this Terran city is really lively, but did Dao Chang bring us to the Terran to see the excitement or to eat delicious?"
Xu Siyuan also bought a quinoa cake, Xu Siyuan took a bite, it was not as good as the Xiangong delicacies that Xu Siyuan had eaten, but the entrance was full of fireworks in the world.
Not bad, actually!
After eating a baked cake, Xu Siyuan said to Xiao Man with a smile: "No, I brought you to the human race for the festival!"
···
After buying a few jars of ordinary human soju on the side of the road and some simple food, Xu Siyuan took Ao Chun Xiaoman to knock on the door of a wooden house in the west of the city.
The wooden house is also pasted with red spring couplets, but there is only a little candle in the house, which is not felt on weekdays, but it is in stark contrast to the surrounding fire during the festival.
It can be seen that although it is a day of reunion of thousands of families, the owner of the house seems to be homeless.
Xu Siyuan personally knocked on the door, and soon the door opened, and a man opened the door and looked at Xu Siyuan.
Even if he has been reincarnated many times, this man is still extremely excited at the moment, and he always has a different mood when he meets again during the Spring Festival.
"Six ears have seen the master!" the man leaned over and saluted.
Xu Siyuan picked up the six ears, and Xu Siyuan said with a smile: "No need to be polite, the teacher is here to accompany you for the holiday." ”
Ao Chun and Xiao Man also saluted together: "I've seen Senior Brother." ”
"Okay, good," said Liu'er, "come into the house." ”
After entering the world, except for the money that was changed, Xu Siyuan did not use the slightest magic power at other times, so Xu Siyuan had a thin layer of snow on his shoulders.
Entering the house, the temperature rose, and the snow on Xu Siyuan's shoulders began to melt slowly.
When you enter the house, there is warmth, this is home!
There was already some food on the table in the six-eared room, but it didn't seem to have touched much.
Xu Siyuan also put the things he bought, and then beckoned Liuer to sit down.
The soju was clumsy and the food was simple, but the four masters and apprentices were very happy, and this was the first time that the four masters and apprentices had all gotten together.
I haven't seen each other for many years, and I have endless encounters.
"Master, I have been reincarnated for many years, I have tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, I have seen through all the flavors of the world, my parents died early in this life, leaving me alone, I have six ears for these years..." Six ears slowly tell their story.
"Master, I'm the green dragon, in the east..." Ao Chun also had something to say to Xu Siyuan.
Xiaoman also told about his experience: "Dao Chief, I have been majestic all these years, Dao Chief, you don't know..."
Xu Siyuan said very little, Xu Siyuan was mostly just listening carefully, Xu Siyuan occasionally interjected a sentence or two, and then looked at his three disciples with a smile.
The candle flame is faint, but it seems to warm the whole world.
The four of them listened, talked, ate and drank.
Among the four people, Xu Siyuan can order the interception of ten thousand immortals, and he can fight the quasi-saint of the flood wilderness.
Liu'er was once one of the four monkeys in the mixed world, and now he has been floating in reincarnation for more than 100,000 years.
And Ao Chun is the green dragon of the East, and Xiaoman is also the head of ten thousand pythons.
None of the four of them could afford to be called a god in the mouth of mortals, but the four of them today were eating the simplest of food like ordinary people, sitting around a small wooden table, and talking about the past.
The gods in the sky are now in the mortal world.
The so-called immortals also have tenderness.
Thousands of lights are lit outside, and a table is gathered inside the house.
Even the gods feel satisfied.
···
At this time, it suddenly became noisy outside, and there were occasional sounds of panic in the crowd.
Liu'er opened his mouth and said, "Master, it's the year of the monster. ”
"Monsters?" Xiao Man suddenly became interested: "Dao Chief, as soon as we come, there will be monsters coming, Dao Chang will let me fight monsters." ”
Six ears said with a smile: "In fact, every day there will be a monster called Nian who comes out to make trouble, the old has the head of a lion, but has the body of a cow, Nian is not a fierce beast, but likes to make trouble, people have to drive the New Year often on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, so we spend this Spring Festival is actually called the New Year." ”
"Xiaoman, didn't you also see the Spring Festival couplets on my door when you just came in, I didn't like it that year and even was a little afraid of red, so every household will paste red Spring Festival couplets during the New Year. ”
Xiaoman felt that it was novel and interesting, and then there was a loud noise outside the house.
Liu'er said: "I don't like to be noisy in the New Year, it's people who set off firecrackers to drive away the New Year." ”
Of course, there was no gunpowder, but the bamboo was hollow and roasted in the fire for a while, and the bamboo would burst and make a loud noise.
The sound of firecrackers has made the smell of the year stronger.
Xu Siyuan raised his glass and said, "Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
···
When master and apprentice get together, time always flies quickly.
Soon the city was filled with the sound of roosters and dogs barking, and it was time to leave.
Xu Siyuan pushed open the wooden door, the east was white, and the morning sun sprinkled all over the city, reflecting the spring couplets dazzlingly red.
Xu Siyuan suddenly remembered a poem:
In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu, and thousands of households always change the new peach for the old one.
The new peach replaces the old charm, which is a new beginning and a new chapter.
I just don't know if the new chapter is written happy or sad?
