Chapter 213: The Year of Reunion
"Brother Dongyi, Brother Wuyu!" Mu Chen walked over with a smile, "Are you done?" I saw that you were too busy just now, so I didn't come to disturb you." ”
"You kid deliberately laughed at the two of us!"
It turned out that Mu Chen and the others had already come down, but they had been hiding there and watching. Li Dongyi and Wuyu were all seen in a hurry just now, which is embarrassing.
But everyone is joking, and they don't really feel at ease. Li Dong beckoned everyone to sit down and said, "This table is specially reserved for us, I ordered a few of your favorite dishes, and I am not allowed to leave until my stomach bulges after a while, do you hear it!"
"Qingyue, if you have anything you want to eat, tell me now, and I'll let them make it for you." ”
Qingyue replied: "No need, I haven't eaten the food of the human world, I don't know much about it, just follow my brothers and sisters, don't bother." ”
At the same time, the break is back.
Before he saw him, he said in a loud voice, "Mu Chen, do you think of me!" walked to the door, and as soon as he saw Mu Chen, he yelled and pounced, giving Mu Chen a bear hug, but the result was that Mu Chen was in pain and almost vomited out a mouthful of blood.
"Slow down, he still has injuries on his body!" Li Dong glared at him, but he just reminded him, and he didn't get angry.
Duan Sheli hurriedly helped Mu Chen to sit down, and intimately rubbed the painful place for him, and then said excitedly: "I'm sorry, I was so excited that I hurt you just now." Let me take a good look at you, and I know that your kid has a big life, and he won't die so easily. Tell me where you've been and what happened?"
"I'll tell you later, do you still know her?" Mu Chen looked at Qing Yue, who was sitting beside Yao Si.
He only saw Mu Chen just now, and didn't pay attention to the others, but after Mu Chen's reminder, he found that there was one more among them. Looking closely, he yelled in surprise: "Princess Qingyue!"
The guests in the lobby are looking at this place.
Mu Chen hurriedly pulled the shut-off and sat down, "Sit down, why did you become so frizzy after not seeing it for a few days, be quiet." ”
She slapped herself embarrassedly, looked apologetic, and asked in a low voice, "Why is Princess Qingyue here?"
Only then did Mu Chen tell him what happened during this time.
After listening to Mu Chen's bland narration, he could understand the suffering of Mu Chen in those days, and hugged Mu Chen distressedly.
"Thank you. If I had caught you that day, nothing would have happened and you wouldn't have been so badly injured. ”
"Enough is enough," Mu Chen smiled and pushed away the break, "It's only been a few days, how did you become a mother-in-law!"
While everyone was laughing and joking, two beautiful women walked in.
"I'm sorry, we're late. ”
The people who came were Liu Xueting and Xiao Wenjing.
Liu Xueting said as she naturally walked to Li Dongyi's side and sat down, taking advantage of the situation to hold Li Dongyi's arm. The two looked at each other and smiled, looking very sweet.
It seems that in the past few days when Mu Chen is away, the two of them have made rapid progress!
And Xiao Wenjing stood on Mu Chen's side, looking at the two positions beside Mu Chen with some unhappiness.
Li Dongyi didn't tell anyone else about Mu Chen's accident, except for the people in Xunxiang Pavilion, they all said that Mu Chen had something to do for the time being, so Liu Xueting and Xiao Wenjing didn't know the truth.
Xiao Wenjing has been concentrating on cultivation since he had Brother Long's zombie bloodline, and he hasn't seen Mu Chen for a long time.
Today, Liu Xueting told her that Mu Chen had returned, and invited her to go to Xunxiang Pavilion for a reunion dinner. Xiao Wenjing was very happy, he deliberately dressed up, and walked to Mu Chen's side excitedly and expectantly.
But when she came in, there were no vacant seats on Mu Chen's left and right, one was cut off from her seat, and the other seat was sat down by a petite and delicate-looking girl.
Xiao Wenjing was in a low mood instantly, and the reason was precisely because of the girl next to Mu Chen. As soon as she came in, she saw this girl sitting next to Mu Chen, talking and laughing with him, and even Mu Chen would gently rub her hair. The behavior between the two was too intimate for Xiao Wenjing to accept.
"Wenjing, what are you doing standing there stupidly, come and sit!" Liu Xueting seemed to see Xiao Wenjing's displeasure, and asked her to sit down next to her.
Liu Xueting shook Xiao Wenjing's fist under the table, and then said to Mu Chen with a smile: "Mu Chen, you are back, originally Wenjing and I were worried that you wouldn't be able to come back for the New Year together! I've never seen this one before!"
"This is Qingyue, my friend, and now a member of the Fragrance Seeking Pavilion. Mu Chen briefly introduced a few words, because Qingyue's identity is best not to be known to outsiders, and the fewer people who know, the better.
"Oh, that's the case...... Liu Xueting nodded at Qingyue, and then pushed Xiao Wenjing to remind: "Didn't you say that there are some cultivation questions to ask Mu Chen?
Just as Xiao Wenjing got up, Mu Chen suddenly turned around and whispered something to Duan Sheli, and the two talked happily, not paying attention to who said anything on the other side.
Xiao Wenjing was just halfway up when he saw that he was not good at interjecting at all, bent his legs and didn't know what to do for a while, pursed his lips, and was extremely embarrassed. Eventually, I sat back.
Li Dong picked up his wine glass and said, "Everyone, today our group of people finally got together completely, let us raise a glass together and welcome the New Year together!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank this rare reunion wine.
The dishes carefully prepared by Li Dongyi were brought out one by one, including Mu Chen's favorite roast mutton, Jiesheli's favorite roast chicken, Bai Chen's favorite steamed fish, Yaosi's favorite jade balls, and Wuyu's favorite cheese beef......
Li Dongyi's preferences of each of them are in mind, and this table full of everyone's favorite food is enough to prove Li Dongyi's intentions.
The beautiful stage set up in the lobby began the show, and all the guests could order songs or go up to perform in person, and of course the most active ones were the lovely children.
The children excitedly stood on the stage and danced to the music, revealing the most innocent smiling faces.
The adults in the audience raised their glasses and drank each other, and exchanged New Year blessings among them.
Firecrackers and fireworks outside the Xunxiang Pavilion were heard from far and near, from near to far, and there were festive sounds everywhere, as well as the shouts of people pouring into the streets to call for the New Year.
However, Mu Chen and the others could only replace the wine with drinks, because they had more important things to do after midnight.
Everyone excitedly counted down with the clock, and finally, the clock rang at zero o'clock, and the new year officially arrived. People cheered, shouted, and congratulated the New Year.
Li Dongyi, as the eldest patriarch here, took out a pile of big red envelopes prepared in advance and distributed them to everyone one by one, so that everyone could be touched with the joy of the New Year.
Yao Si and Qing Yue participated in the Spring Festival for the first time, and both of them were moved by this lively atmosphere. It turned out that among the four worlds, there was such a happy festival, which had never been experienced, and it also made the two of them better understand the meaning of the human world for family and friends and reunion.
"Tonight, the lights of thousands of homes are on, and the human world is very lively! Looking at each other from afar, there is only one miserable person, drunk like this. ”
On the cold and snowy platform in the distance, a person looked at the stars and lights in the distance and sighed heavily. He brushed off his sleeves, shook his head and sat down, uncovered a bottle of wine on the table, raised his glass to the moon, and drank it to himself.
After a burst of joy in the human world, people left and went home one after another, and the lobby of the Xunxiang Pavilion was instantly empty, leaving only traces of the excitement.
"Alright, it's time to go. Li Dongyi stood up from the chair, although he was reluctant to give up this rare warm moment, but still said to everyone: "I hope we can be luckier and solve all problems more smoothly in the new year! Let's work together!"
When everyone got up to leave, Xiao Wenjing begged, "Please let me go with you." I've learned a lot during this time, and I want to fight side by side with you and be able to do my part. ”
As soon as Li Dong thought that Xiao Wenjing also understood the situation, and he had also become a cultivator, one more person would have more strength, so he agreed.
At the same time, just after midnight, Li Dongyi received a lot of news that ghosts were haunted. So in addition to Liu Xueting, the seven people present were divided into three groups and set off separately.
Xiao Wenjing originally wanted to be in a group with Mu Chen, but before she sent out the invitation, Mu Chen had already pulled away from her and Qingyue and decided to leave. Xiao Wenjing had to be in a group with Bai Chen, but she could see that Mu Chen was deliberately avoiding herself.
The three groups of people set off in different directions, Qingyue blinked a pair of big watery eyes and looked at Mu Chen, "That Xiao Wenjing girl just now likes you, brother!"
"Haha, that's it!" Breaking away laughed and put his arm on Mu Chen's shoulder and said, "Qingyue can see that Xiao Wenjing is interesting to you, she obviously wanted to be with you just now, but you are too cold to others." ”
Mu Chen explained to the two of them seriously: "It is precisely because I am sure that I have no interest in her that I should be like this, I just hope that she will not mistake gratitude for the love of men and women." ”
As soon as midnight came, the oni hidden in the dark corners of the city came alive. They also know that tonight is the most lively day in the human world, and they are ready to take this opportunity to make a big fuss in the human world.
Li Dong sent people to check the large and small places in the city early in the morning, demarcated the approximate locations where the ghosts might hide and appear, and sent people to monitor them.
The crowds on the streets have not yet dispersed, and people walk in twos and threes, admiring the lights tonight. He only felt the cold wind coming, but he didn't notice that a few dark shadows were approaching him.
A couple was walking on the road holding hands with each other, and a black shadow in the distance rushed towards the girl, melted into her body, and immediately occupied the girl's consciousness.
