This year’s festival is more lively than ever.
In the past, Gong Mengbi only spent time with a few friends, not Huzi.
But this year, all the foxes in the Fox Courtyard invited him to go, and the first fox was about to leave the home again. Gong Mengbi couldn't refuse, so he simply invited his friends to the Fox Courtyard to celebrate the festival.
Fatty Kang complained quite a bit and said, "I can still take care of cooking for a few of you. You, a person with over 100 people in Fox Slope, can't even saw me in two."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said: "This is the Chinese New Year, and I'm not asking you to come back and do hard labor. This year you just have a rest and everyone can get together."
Fatty Kang was happy: "That's good. I've been cooking for a year, but I haven't had a good rest yet."
Xiao Yi'er nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right. Before we came back, we were still giving porridge to the poor."
Gong Mengbi asked: "Are there many hungry people in the county?"
Fatty Kang said: "There are hungry people every year. This year it is even colder and the price of rice has also gone up. Many people have frozen to death."
Gong Mengbi sighed: "Wuning County is better off. The new county magistrate is capable of doing things, and there are also wealthy households in the county to help, so we can barely get by."
Speaking of this, Fatty Kang also sighed.
Food is the most important thing for the people, and having enough food is the most important thing in the world. As a practitioner of the smoke and fire in the world, he is more sensitive to this, and feels uncomfortable when he sees someone hungry.
Now his restaurant is famous in the county, but the money he earns is spent like running water, basically to help the poor.
Skipping this heavy topic, Gong Mengbi asked something else.
Fatty Kang wanted to make wine for Gong Mengbi, but Gong Mengbi said, "I won't prepare it this time. When I get free in a while, I will go to Jinhua for inspection. We will meet again soon."
Xiao Yi'er suddenly became happy and said: "Okay, then I will treat my uncle to eat all over the county!"
Gong Mengbi pinched his face and said, "Did you eat like this?"
Xiao Yi'er became frustrated and said: "I have tried to exercise restraint, but I can't lose weight."
Fatty Kang couldn't help but laugh, his shoulders shaking with laughter.
Xiao Yi'er immediately jumped to her feet: "Why are you laughing!"
Fatty Kang said, "Oh, ask your uncle Xiangjun."
Xiao Yi'er looked at Xiangjun.
Xiang Jun laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears and said, "Does your restraint mean that a meal of three large bowls of rice has turned into two large bowls of rice?"
Xiao Yi'er was furious: "I've missed one bowl!"
Gong Mengbi discussed: "How about eating one less bowl?"
Xiao Yier said aggrievedly: "Then I will go hungry."
Fatty Kang tired of laughing and said, "Good disciple, don't be in a hurry to lose weight. You are just growing taller. Just take your time."
Fatty Kang convinced Xiao Yi'er, and Xiao Yi'er looked at Gong Mengbi eagerly.
Gong Mengbi sighed and said: "You don't have to go hungry, but you don't have to get fat anymore. It's true that you are cute when you are chubby, but it is not a good thing if you lose your flexibility."
Fatty Kang said, "I'm watching, and I know what's going on."
Gong Mengbi nodded and tapped Xiao Yi'er's head as a warning.
Gong Mengbi took them to Fox Slope first. The foxes all knew that Gong Mengbi's friends were coming and had already packed up their seats and came out.
Ma Shenpo, who was among the foxes, saw Mr. Xiang and stepped forward to greet her.
Xiang Jun said: "Don't be restrained. You have taught me a lot before. I want to thank you. Come, sit next to me. I have something to ask you."
Ma Shenpo is an old woman who has become a spirit and a fox who makes mischief. She is very popular in the villages of Wuning County and is a well-informed witch. Xiangjun has encountered some situations that were not easy to handle. Although he dealt with them, in retrospect he always felt that he could have done better, so now he asked Ma Shenpo for advice.
Several fox girls saw Fatty Kang squeeze out from among the foxes and said with a smile: "Do you still remember us, sir?"
Why can’t Fatty Kang remember? Before that, he was injured and was recuperating in Meng Yue Tower. It was Gong Mengbi who sent these fox girls to take care of him. They treated him with soft jade and warm fragrance and made him docile.
When he saw it now, Fatty Kang suddenly felt a little ashamed and said, "Are you free of guilt now?"
The fox girl said: "Lord Fox is kind and allowed us to change our past and rehabilitate our mistakes. He re-determined our sentences in June. We have sincerely repented, and it was not a big mistake. We have escaped. Now He is also a fox in the academy, and after one more year of study, he can go to Tianhu Academy."
Nowadays, there are not many fox prisoners in Huziyuan. Most of those who committed minor crimes were released. A few of those who committed more serious crimes still have to serve their sentences. However, their sentences are not long, and they have a promising future.
After a while, it got dark.
One by one, friends came with wind or flying, and the banquet in Fox Courtyard officially began.
The foxes were singing and dancing, and it was a joyous occasion.
On this cold winter night, lights and laughter rose in the Fox Slope, driving away the cold air of winter and the depression in my heart.
Xiaoqian and Zhu Zhengxin have never seen such a scene. There are already enough foxes in Yunfeng. In addition, the foxes in Huziyuan are all human-like at first. When they drink too much, they reveal countless big tails.
It made people feel ecstatic and frightened at the same time.
The Skull God and the Rakshasa Ghost Mother watched from the side. Fu Xin was coaxed into confusion by the fox with a few words, and he started to dance boldly surrounded by the fox.
The Rakshasa Ghost Mother looked at Xiaoqian and Zhu Zhengxin. Xiaoqian smiled so wildly, and Zhu Zhengxin couldn't see any regret on his pig face.
She liked the atmosphere tonight very much, but there were many unspeakable thoughts in her heart.
From time to time, foxes came up to them wagging their tails and toasted to them, thanking them for having explained their doubts about foxes' practice. Also report good news or complain to them, tell them whether they passed the exam or failed.
Their sincerity and respect gave the Skull God and the Rakshasa Ghost Mother a wonderful feeling that they had never had before.
Xiaoqian and Zhu Zhengxin did not recognize the Rakshasa Ghost Mother. She was now summoned by Gong Mengbi using the spirit-calling technique and transformed into smoke. Compared to the Rakshasa Ghost Mother, she looks more like the girl who once planted orchids.
Gong Mengbi was afraid that they would cause trouble, so he deliberately cast some magic on Xiaoqian and Zhu Zhengxin to make them ignore the Rakshasa Ghost Mother.
By late night, everyone was so drunk that they were staggering around.
Gong Mengbi smiled and shook his head, using the scent as a guide to lure the foxes back to the fox house with their noses raised. Then he and Fatty Kang sent their drunken friends into the room to prevent them from catching the cold.
Fatty Kang asked: "Or the resurrecting soup?"
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, brother."
Fatty Kang smiled and said, "If you call me brother, what trouble can you cause?"
Soon, Gong Mengbi brought the Soul Resurrection Soup, followed the connection with Zhao Siqi, and his spirit left his body and disappeared into a ray of red light.
