The end of the year has arrived, and the city is full of firecrackers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sound of firecrackers in Xiaomiao Town urged the year to move forward, and every household was replaced with a new peach charm, and naturally the door god was inevitable. Ordinary people have worked hard for a year, and only on this day will they be relatively free to buy food. There were always three or five children laughing and playing in the alleys, chasing and grabbing the simple piece of sesame candy, and the town was drowning in a festive festivities.

Liu Mu smiled and handed a piece of candy in his hand to a small slug, looking at the child with jagged teeth, the surprised smile on his face, and his mood was inexplicably cheerful. The children who had unexpected surprises tried their best to show off the candy in their hands to other partners, until all the children were envious, and then pointed to Liu Mu, who had straightened up and coughed there, as if explaining the origin of the candy.

After a while, the cough was no longer audible, Liu Mu beckoned to the children gathered not far away, and when they approached with a cower, he took out a handful of candy from his arms again and divided them one by one. At the same time, he muttered: "Tomorrow morning I will go to Fenglin Night, and it will be that inn." Liu Mu pointed not far behind him, and only then did he say in the children's puzzled expressions: "I'll give you New Year's money!"

The children jumped and ran away, Liu Mu closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the aroma of wine and meat that came with the cold wind, and there were still the children's residual laughter in his ears, he felt that happiness was so simple, there was no far-reaching poet's mouth, just waiting for you there, such a day was very good, fulfilling!

After all, the inn did not recruit any more people, in the words of Iron Banner, there are too many people now, and there is no need to toss. The three-catty two-knife cook, in addition to stewed meat and barbecue, can only make some noodles now, and the taste can only be the taste. Considering that a group of big men really don't know how to do anything delicious, Liu Mu asked Tieqi to spend some silver taels in the town's residents' homes early.

Someone rang the bell in the town at the New Year's Pass, and when the nine bells rang, the iron banner dragged a group of men who were drinking crookedly out of the inn, lit a bonfire and burned firecrackers there, and the sound of the split horn trembled for a while, and everyone's face showed a rare warmth, and they smiled as stupidly as a child.

............

The cold wind blows the earth unbridledly, and the first snow of the new year finally falls flutteringly, like the girls in the painting boat on the Huai River, which is hidden and makes people scratch. I don't know where Tieqi learned the move, beckoning the others to stick out their tongues into the void in unison, and if they are lucky enough to have snowflakes falling on the tip of their tongues, they will jump for a long time, maintaining a stiff posture, and showing their gains to others. Liu Mu looked at the others weakly, and after seeing that no one noticed him, he also secretly stuck out his tongue and tried it. The wind was very cold, and the tip of his tongue was tingling, but the expectation in his heart always rushed into his mind inexplicably, and he couldn't help but try again and again.

With a cold face, he always paid attention to Liu Mu's movements, and saw him stick out his tongue like a tengu to catch the scattered snowflakes, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with such a move, let alone destroy the sacred image that had always been in his mind. On the contrary, his throat kept rolling, itching and uncomfortable, and he wished that the snow in the sky was controlled by himself, and it all fell on the tip of Liu Mu's tongue.

After working hard for a long time, Liu Mu finally let a snowflake fall on the tip of his tongue, forcibly holding his breath for fear of disturbing the snowflake that he had finally captured, and his face was red for a while, arousing the cough in his chest. "Ahem......" The crystal snowflakes were finally disturbed and landed, and Tie Qi and the others laughed even more when they saw this, until Liu Mu raised his face.

As the snow became lighter and lighter, it was close to midnight, and everyone returned to the inn with a smile and began to fight all night, Liu Mu was a little lacking in energy, and after instructing Tieqi to prepare some copper coins for himself, he returned to the room alone, leaving the others to make trouble there.

At this time, the whole small temple town fell silent, except for the lanterns swaying in front of the door, only snow walked outside. However, someone violated this habit, and a man walked far away in the snow, his red robe as if soaked in blood, red and bewitching. His face was lifeless and blue, and his yellowed eyes were as similar as cobras, and he was cold-blooded. The pace of falling on the snow layer is unhurried, and the footprints are shallow and difficult to see. When he walked to the gate of Fenglin Night, he stopped and thought for a while, and then walked towards the alley in the distance again, without any surprise!

............

Liu Mu is a person who keeps promises, not to mention promising those children. Early in the morning, he was wearing a thick cotton coat, standing at the door of the inn, smiling and a little expectant, rubbing his hands with the same parents who were looking forward to the return of the wanderer, indicating that he was still a little nervous. Until he saw three or two children emerging from the alley.

"Here! I'm here!" Liu Mu waved to the children running with a flushed face, and couldn't wait to take out a large amount of copper coins from his arms. When the children approached, they gave each of them two or three copper coins like a boy with scattered wealth, and kept saying, "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, everyone has it." "Seeing that everyone got the copper coins, there was still a lot left in their hands.

"Happy New Year, uncle!"

......

The neat New Year's greetings made Liu Mule straight, and he couldn't stop arching his hands there without any image, grinning: "Happy New Year, Happy New Year...... When the children walked back, Liu Mu glanced at the remaining copper coins in his hand again, stopped a child and asked: "Child, you wait, uncle asks you something, is it okay?"

The child who was at the end of the year hid the hand holding the copper coin behind him with a vigilant expression, as if he was afraid that Liu Mu would regret it. Liu Mu took out a copper coin from his hand again, and handed it to him in the void: "Uncle will give you another one, is it okay for you to tell your uncle one thing?"

When the child heard Liu Mu ask, he said, "There were dead people in the town last night, and they didn't dare to go out. I'm afraid that the depressed tone is because there are fewer playmates.

After Liu Mu praised the child for being bold and a real man, he rewarded a copper coin again, and the child jumped back happily. Suspiciously, Liu Mu turned around and entered the inn, shook his head incessantly, and muttered in his mouth: "The dead people in the year of celebration are really unlucky." “

Tie Qi, who was busy serving dumplings, saw Liu Mu shaking his head and said curiously: "Young master, what's wrong?"

"A kid said there were dead people in the town, and I don't know what's going on. Liu Mu rubbed his frozen red hands, sat down at the table, and said to Tieqi.

"Oh, it's really bad luck for the New Year. Tie Qi also shook his head, handed the chopsticks to Liu Mu's hand, and then said: "No matter, eat dumplings first, and I'll take a look after dinner!"

After Liu Mu nodded, he no longer dwelled on this matter, lowered his head and concentrated on eating the dumplings with a lot of ingredients, and from time to time he was still dipping in the vinegar dish, as if he was tasting the atmosphere of the New Year.
