Tables and chairs are placed in Heiyang Hongli's new home, either in the living room or in the courtyard.
There were even a few buddies who liked the feeling of "looking down on all living beings" and carried tables to the roof of the bungalow.
The price is that they don’t expect others to serve them food, they have to go down and serve it themselves.
The spiritual stone lamp embedded on the wall was activated, illuminating both the inside and outside of the house as bright as day. It was already evening and it was getting dark.
It's still a bit cold outside in December. Even if practitioners are not afraid of the heat and cold, too low a temperature will quickly make the food cold, thus affecting the taste.
However, the architects had already considered this. Two elders, the fire elder and the water elder, who did not want to be named, kindly gifted the young couple a piece of [Scorching Flame Crystal] and [Xuanming Ice] respectively.
The disciples of the Ministry of Civil Engineering used special techniques to integrate the two crystal stones into the foundation to achieve the effect of automatically adjusting the constant temperature.
Therefore, the meals on weekdays will not spoil quickly because the temperature is too high, nor will they cool down quickly because the temperature is too low, and will not affect everyone's mood when dining together.
The "no need to clear the snow" that Heiyang Hongli expected was also realized in this way.
When snowflakes fall within the constant temperature range of a house, they will melt instantly.
But in that case, the silver-clad appearance that Hong Li expected would not be realized.
Of course, if you really want to see snowflakes falling all over the courtyard, you can also change the constant temperature value by slightly adjusting the two crystals.
Even more extreme, "extremely hot" and "extremely cold" environments can be simulated through two crystals.
If the room owner has any special hobbies, or his head suddenly cramps, he can adjust it like this.
For example, in extreme heat mode, the temperature rises, the land dries up and cracks, trees die, and no grass grows.
For another example, in the extreme cold mode, the temperature drops, it is cold all year round, the snow does not melt, and the ice is three feet deep.
However, Heiyang Hongli does not have such a special hobby, and in their opinion, the operation of adjusting the crystal is too troublesome.
Although after watching the demonstration teaching, they learned how to operate it with little effort.
But if you really want them to do it, forget it, it’s so troublesome!
As for things like dividing tables into groups, there is nothing specially arranged.
It is customary for everyone to share a table with their close classmates, but if there is none, they can just sit in the empty seats, which won't be a problem.
But to be honest, almost all the fellow disciples want to have a table with the sect leader, Senior Sister Hongli, and listen to her tell her "inspirational and legendary stories of rising from humble beginnings"...
After all, these fellow disciples can see each other every day in the sect, but it is not easy for the honorary sect leader who has retired to the world of practice to meet.
However, everyone also understands that for Hongli, there is someone more important waiting for her company.
A large table with twelve seats.
Hongli, Heiyang, Lan Yuying, Qing Yiyi, Xiaohuo, Heihui, Hongqiao, Xingyun, Gaga, Hongling.
Ten relatives and friends occupied nine seats. Although a seat was reserved for Gaga alone, he still had to be held by Xingyun.
Xingyun also felt that little Gaga was very tired from learning to fly today, so she decided to feed her during the meal.
As for Xiao Huo, he insisted that he had grown up and wanted to have his own meal.
As a result, she couldn't learn how to use chopsticks after playing with them for a long time, which almost made her cry.
In the end, Hong Li gave her a small spoon, and then Xiao Huo was freed.
In addition, there is the brainless and unhappy combination of Hei Hui and Hong Qiao.
Logically speaking, they have been running around and playing with Hei Yang and the others for a long time, and they should go back to their respective homes to find their parents.
But the two of them would definitely not want to be absent from the final "dispersion dinner", so they asked their elders to tell their parents and stayed.
After all, they are all family members, so there is nothing to worry about.
However, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little subtle at this time.
Xingyun: "Hehe, hehe..."
Hongli: "..."
Xingyun: "Hehe, hehe..."
Hongli: "..."
Xingyun: "Hehehehe..."
"enough!"
Hong Li finally couldn't help but scream, and dense tic-tac-toe marks popped up on her forehead. She looked at Xing Yun angrily.
"Xiaoyun, I've tolerated you for a long time! Since just now, you've been peeking at me and laughing. What do you mean? Damn it!"
"Pfft hahaha, I'm sorry Sister Hongli, pfft hahaha..."
Xingyun stopped pretending and buried her face in her arms and laughed happily: "I don't mean to laugh at Sister Hongli anymore.
But, I just feel that Sister Hongli looks so cute in her little red dress!
Hahaha, how could Sister Hongli be so cute? I’ve never seen her before! "
Hongli: "..."
Rage value +1+1+1
"Okay, okay, laugh if you want..."
Hong Li curled her lips, held her head with one hand with an aggrieved look on her face, and sighed, "I knew this would look very embarrassing. It's funny, right?"
"No, no, no, really not!"
Xingyun quickly waved her hand and explained: "I'm serious, Sister Hongli is really beautiful like this!"
"uh-huh?"
Hongli glanced at Xingyun: "Really?"
"I won't lie!"
"Well……"
Hong Li turned to look at the relatives and friends on the table, and asked cautiously: "Do you feel the same way?"
"Of course."
"Xiao Li is very beautiful like this."
"Excellent."
"Beautiful!"
"so cute!"
"..."
"you……"
Hongli was stunned for a moment, curled her lips, and suddenly buried her head in her arms, humming: "They must be all to comfort me, they are fake, they are all fake!"
"This child..."
"Xiaohuo didn't lie to mother!"
"real!"
"Ah, don't listen, don't listen, anyway, I don't listen..."
Hong Li just pretended to be an ostrich: "You are my best friends. The more you act like this, the less I can believe it. You are all trying to trick me!"
"Ah this..."
Everyone shook their heads helplessly and laughed.
Only Hei Yang didn't say anything. He held his chin with one hand and looked at his fiancée next to him with a funny look on his face.
[Hongli: Hey, why don’t you comfort me! 】
[Hei Yang: You are not unhappy. That expression and tone are 100% because you are having fun in your heart. Maybe now you are covering your face with your arms and the corners of your mouth are still raised! 】
[Hongli: Ah this...]
The corners of Hong Li's raised mouth twitched slightly, feeling like she was getting angry.
[Hongli: What the hell, you are...]
[Heiyang: Huh? Did I guess wrong? 】
[Hongli: blah blah blah. 】
[Hei Yang: Ha, I knew it wouldn’t go wrong! 】
[Hongli: Ah, yes, yes, it’s true. You can’t just pretend that you don’t understand and cooperate to comfort me! 】
[Hongli: Damn it, am I really that easy to understand? 】
[Hei Yang: That’s not true. It’s just because I am Hei Yang that I understand you. 】
[Hongli: Well, this reason is okay...]
[Heiyang: But having said that, I feel like you become more shy after putting on a skirt. 】
[Hongli: Ah this...]
[Hei Yang: That is to say, although Xiaoli is a girl, when we got together before, we still felt more like good buddies. 】
[Hei Yang: Now, I feel more like a girl or a girlfriend. 】
[Hongli: Well, that is to say, good brother Hongli, why are you suddenly so girly? 】
[Heiyang: Hahahaha, you said this yourself, not me, hahahaha! 】
At the dinner table, Hei Yang suddenly lowered his head and trembled, causing the chair under him to rattle.
This caused all the relatives and friends to look away with questions, wondering what was wrong with this child...
[Hongli: That’s alright. Is it that funny? I’m a girl! 】
[Hei Yang: No, no, how could I laugh at you? I didn’t laugh. 】
[Hongli: Haha, you obviously haven’t stopped laughing! 】
Hongli sighed, raised her head slightly, tugged at the skirt on her legs expressionlessly, and shook her head again, her face speechless.
[Hongli: I don’t know much about other things, but the trouble is really troublesome. If I weren’t afraid of tearing my skirt, how could I have fallen down with my skills like sister! 】
[Heiyang: Ahem, at this time, should I comfort "Oh, stupid Xiao Li is also very cute", or should I laugh at "Hey, stupid Bi"? 】
[Hongli: Hey, don’t be embarrassed, you should just call me Benbi...]
[Hei Yang: How come there is such a request? Hehehe...but it's just what I want. 】
[Hongli:...]
[Hongli: Wow, how could I fall in love with a piece of shit like you? If there wasn't someone next to me, I would have punched you twice. 】
[Hei Yang: Tsk tsk, it’s not certain who will beat whom! 】
But having said that, Hei Yang raised his head, stretched out and lay on the backrest, sighing.
"So, why aren't the dads here yet?"
Hei Yang sighed: "The food is almost cold. We can't wait for others to finish eating. We haven't come to eat yet, right?"
"Then when we were eating, everyone gathered around us and watched us eating seriously."
Hong Li exposed her head and imagined that scene.
[Wow, you are indeed Senior Sister Hongli. Her movements are so unpredictable even when she eats a peanut! 】
【Oh ho! Look at those two chopsticks, they are like spears for slaying dragons, sharp blades for salvation! 】
[Look, Senior Sister Hongli’s trembling movements must contain some kind of superb movement skills! 】
[Senior Sister Hongli drinks water with the power of swallowing up the sun and the moon! 】
[Senior Sister Hongli was choked and coughed, which is just a symptom. The coughing sound is actually a long-lost musical power...]
"Hey...what am I thinking..."
Hongli was frightened by the scene she imagined. If her mother hadn't been at the dinner table, she wouldn't have been able to help spitting out the fragrance.
"What kind of suffering is that in the world!"
Hongli doubts her life.
"otherwise……"
Qing Yiyi was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiaohuo Gaga, frowned and said: "Let the children start eating first..."
Before he finished speaking, two figures squeezed in from the door.
"Hug, sorry, my wife and children have been waiting for a long time, huh, huh..."
Heimu Guanghong Xiaochen explained while sitting down while panting.
"Today, it's the last day of the year, so I'll just settle all the troubles with the city lord...
Well, after tonight, it’s a new year and a new atmosphere! "
"Fine."
Qing Yiyi and Lan Yuying shook their heads helplessly.
"It's a legitimate reason. Let's eat quickly when everyone is here. Everyone is starving."
"That's true."
Hongli stretched out her chopsticks and rushed towards the large piece of beef on the plate that she had coveted for a long time!
"Click"
The chopsticks were blocked by other chopsticks. Heiyang Hongli looked at each other in surprise, nodded quickly, pulled on both sides, and tore the large piece of beef into two halves, sharing it equally between the two of them.
Normally, they would not give in so quickly, but there are still many goals on the table, and there is no need to waste time for a mere piece of beef.
If you have this skill, you might as well strive for other goals!
This is the intrigue at the dinner table, intrigues and deceptions, and collaborations!
There are no eternal allies, only eternal interests!
Teammates who were attacking a certain dish together one second may take away your favorite dish the next moment, which is really hard to guard against!
In this case, if you don’t have superb eating skills, you may not be able to hold on for even a few minutes, and the food on the table will be divided up!
For a moment, there were only shadows of chopsticks on the table. The black and red families were obviously very comfortable with this kind of scene. Even though Aunt Hongling had been away from home for a long time, she had received professional training!
"Um?"
Xingyun turned his head left and right, watching in confusion as everyone's momentum changed instantly. Everyone's eyes were sharp and their moves were sly, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh! I understand! Look at mommy!"
Xingyun took a deep breath, shook the chopsticks in her hand violently, and thrust them into the battlefield, leaving a trail of afterimages.
"Look at me, Xingjia's knife skills? Changed to double-edged cutting!"
"Ah, ah?"
Xiaohuo held a small spoon, blinked, looked at the empty bowl in front of him, and fell into confusion.
The next moment, when Xiaohuo looked again, he was surprised to find a pile of food coming out of the bowl, and the voices of the elders could be heard in his ears.
"Xiao Huo, look at grandma!"
"Xiaohuo, grandma will knock them all down for you!"
"Mom said, let go and eat!"
"Is the little fire enough? If it's not enough, daddy will give you another 100 million points!"
"Xiao Huo, would you like some wine?"
"Hong Xiaochen, how dare you?!"
"..."
"Ah this..."
Xiaohuo raised his head blankly, looked at the food piled higher and higher in the bowl, and then looked at the small spoon in his hand, and suddenly smiled.
"Ha, yes, Xiaohuo is still a child."
Xiaohuo nodded happily, dug into the mountain of vegetables with a small spoon, and narrowed his eyes happily.
"It's so happy to be a child, so happy to be with my parents!"
"However, it is a very serious problem..."
Hei Muguang looked shocked: "Where's the wine? How can there be no wine in such a big banquet? How can the wine be separated from the banquet?!"
"Indeed!"
Hong Xiaochen repeatedly echoed: "There is no feast without wine, how can this be possible?!"
"If you want to drink, go drink elsewhere."
Qing Yiyi rolled her eyes: "There are all children here, no one drinks with you."
"uh-huh."
Lan Yuying nodded: "Juice, milk, or boiled water, you can choose."
"I choose the wine!"
"No such item found!"
"These dishes are all delicious. Are they all cooked by Aunt Yuying?"
Xingyun's eyes lit up.
"Xiao Li also participates!"
Lan Yuying looked pleased.
Xingyun: "!!!"
Hong Ling: "!!!"
small fire:"!!!"
"Pfft haha..."
When Hei Yang saw their expressions, he couldn't help but pat Hong Li, who looked unhappy.
"Over there, it's called Werewolf."
"Heiyang shut up!"
"..."
"..."
"But then again..."
Hong Li, who was sipping hot milk, turned her head and looked at her aunt Hong Ling, who was tinkering with something under the table, and asked curiously: "Aunt, what are you doing?"
"I guess it's a time bomb!"
Hei Yang boldly speculated: "After we finish eating, when we are most relaxed, we can blast them to the sky."
"Heiyang shut up."
Hongli rolled her eyes and probed her neck: "Huh? A spiritual stone?"
"Look, I said it was a bomb!"
Hei Yang climbed out of the rotten coffin and continued to output: "Just like the communication spirit stone, with a little modification, it will blast..."
"Heiyang shut up."
"Uh, ha, you ask this?"
Hong Ling frowned and took the spirit stone in her hand from under the table, raised it up and studied it carefully with squinted eyes.
"According to Elder Huo, it is a photographic spirit stone modified from the communication spirit stone. It can record images and develop them on the spirit paper, just like the real thing...
It is said that the communication, sound transmission, positioning and other formations have been removed, so that the originally bloated space can be better utilized...
In short, he said a lot, but I didn't hear it clearly at the time. "
Hong Ling was walking around holding the photo-taking spirit stone, as if she was trying to access other people's WIFI.
"It's just that I haven't studied it thoroughly yet, and I'm not very good at using it yet...
But I already have some ideas. After I learn how to use this thing, everyone will take a photo when they leave, as a souvenir or something..."
Hong Ling's chirping explanation attracted the curiosity of everyone at the table, and they gathered around to study it, just like the novelty of a child finding a new toy.
Only Hei Yang and Hong Li were still sitting in their seats, drinking juice and milk with comfortable expressions.
"Eh, that, that's the one..."
Hong Li stuck out her little tongue and licked the milk stains at the corner of her mouth, then reached out and patted Hei Yang on the shoulder, asking him to turn his head towards her.
"Is that thing similar to that world's... um, camera, that's what it's called? Is it similar to that?"
"Just listening to the description, it should be very similar..."
Hei Yang raised his eyes, thought carefully, and replied: "To be honest, it is a bit unexpected that this thing was developed after the communication spirit stone.
But considering that the matches are still behind the lighter in our place, I don't bother to think about it. After all, I don't specialize in this. "
"uh-huh……"
Hearing Hei Yang's answer, Hong Li nodded thoughtfully, mentioning that when she and Hei Yang communicated using the lazy dog rescuer, they had already been exposed to taking pictures and posting pictures.
However, compared to the photo-taking spirit stone, or the camera, there is no way to develop the pictures during their daily communication on the spirit paper, so only the two of them can see it.
"That is to say..."
Hong Li looked down at her clothes, and the corner of her mouth twitched: "Will my appearance in a skirt be recorded and then hung on a pillar of shame for people to laugh at for hundreds of years or something?"
"hiss……"
Hongli's eyelids twitched wildly.
"No, I have to change my clothes, or I might as well take advantage of this time to slip away. It doesn't mean that masters don't leave portraits and other things behind..."
"It's just because it's rare that it has commemorative significance, right?"
Hei Yang tugged at the black brocade clothes on his body and sighed: "Should I say it, it's really uncomfortable to wear, and I have to be careful not to get any stains on it when eating.
When I got to the back, I simply used my spiritual power to protect my entire body, and then I had a great time. "
"Hey?"
Hong Li was shocked: "Can it still be like this?"
"uh-huh."
"Okay... Well, Hei Yang, my little girlfriend, can I ask you a favor?"
"explain."
"readily!"
Hongli smiled, showed an embarrassed expression, and complained softly.
"My mother took away the clothes I usually wear, and the ones I moved here were all the fancy clothes my mother bought for me, so that I would have to wear them."
Hongli sighed and clenched her fists.
"But! As a Hongli, how can I succumb to such a thing? I will never compromise!"
"so?"
Hei Yang raised his eyebrows, probably knowing what Hong Li wanted to say.
"That's right, you have learned great tailoring skills, haven't you?"
Hong Li showed a flattering smile, grabbed Hei Yang's arm and shook it: "So, please help me make some normal clothes, just like what I usually wear, um, please!"
"So……"
The corner of Hei Yang's mouth raised: "What's the price? Miss Hongli?"
"The previous back-beating bet is void. I'll pay you three more...two little ones...I'll give you a back-beating for one hour, okay?"
"not enough."
"Two hours!"
"make a deal!"
"hateful!"
"Hey hey hey..."
………
This time the parting did not have the same sad atmosphere as in the past. Everyone agreed to see each other again in the future and smiled and waved goodbye.
Xingyun patted her chest, looking confident.
"Gaga will fly soon, and I will come to harass you often in the future, hahaha!"
Hong Li had an impatient look on her face: "Ha, be careful if you make me annoying, I'll blacklist you so you can be rejected!"
"Hehe, Sister Hongli wouldn't do that!"
"Not always."
The airship arrived in great anticipation, and then quietly left at dawn.
There are three missing residents in Five Color City.
One of them is naturally Qing Xiaosu, but the other two are not Hei Hui Hongqiao, whom Elder Huo Le yearns for, but Hei Yang's uncle and aunt.
After much deliberation, they decided to go to Wuxing City to spend the New Year with their children, and they happened to take a downwind airship.
"Here, put a small flamingo doll, and then a small red glass wood carving..."
Hongli carefully placed the gadgets in her hands on conspicuous and safe shelves. These were items that had special meaning to her.
"Hei Yang, have you done it over there?"
"What do you think?"
Hei Yang came from the living room and leaned against the door frame of the bedroom. He smiled and patted the dust on his hands. After thinking about it, water flowed through his palms again, gently washing them clean.
"Is everything done?"
Hongli raised her eyebrows.
"uh-huh."
"Well done!"
The two looked at each other with funny expressions.
Hei Yang Hongli lay side by side on the big bed in the bedroom, with her arms stretched out towards her head, rolling around on the big bed that only belonged to them...
Until, the two rolled back to the center of the bed and collided side by side again.
"ah……"
Hong Li was lying on the bed with a look of intoxication.
"I'm finally free. From now on, this is our home, Heiyang."
"No need to say anything more."
Hei Yang lay next to Hong Li in the same posture, squinting his eyes comfortably.
"Right now, I just want to have a good sleep, don't think about anything, don't do anything..."
"Then……"
Hong Li continued as if she was dreaming: "The sky is falling apart and the earth is cracking and I can't wake up. I'll wake up naturally as soon as I fall asleep."
"Sweet dreams, Xiaoli."
"Sweet dreams, Black Sun."
The mothers covered themselves with quilts made by themselves, and under the quilt were two people holding hands.
Her body is overflowing with family affection, and her hands are holding onto love tightly.
The expressions of the young girl were calm, and their breathing gradually became steady.
Inside the house, it was quiet...
On the wall of the living room, a huge photo frame hangs in the center, with everyone's photos framed in it.
At the gate of the new home, in front of the statue of Lazy Dog and Salted Fish, there is a group of bright smiling faces.
Well, even though the corners of his mouth were raised, he could still see the two pairs of dead fish eyes in the center of the screen.
Family, friends, lovers.
This is what boys and girls are all about.
The quiet home is their own world.
[Photography theme: Goodbye]
[Photography location: Yangli’s house]
[Photography time: January 1, 578 AD]
On the airship, Hong Ling looked into the distance into the wind, stretched out, opened her arms to embrace the wind, and smiled.
"Be fearless."
At the gate of Five Color City, the Yao Wang Sect duo stretched their heads in anticipation of something, until a familiar figure appeared in the distance, and they were filled with excitement.
"The inheritance continues."
In the hut, Yinzi Sheng scratched his head in pain and complained to Yao Qingkong beside him. In return, the latter chuckled. Five pairs of eyes were furtive at the crack of the door.
"make persistent efforts."
At the door of Hei's house, Qing Yiyi picked up her sister Qing Lianlian with a smile. She looked at her father beside her with a bright smile. Hei Chen pulled her mother over and waved hello.
"New beginning."
In the Hong family yard, Lan Yuying looked at the scale on the ruler, smiled and told Xiaohuo that she had grown taller again, and touched her granddaughter's head with a gentle voice.
"Keep up the good work."
At Wuliang Sword Sect, Hong Butian glanced at the long sword on his neck, but was lightly patted on the head. Zhao Zhuji was supervising him with a serious look on his face.
"No slacking off."
………
"Hmm..."
Hei Yang Hongli turned over unconsciously and hugged each other gently, with a look of relief on their faces.
Thank you for being by my side, the years will eventually be peaceful.
