By the time the sun was setting, most of the people on the guest list had arrived.
Even Ye Gongmei, who almost never saw people on weekdays, was invited out of her maple forest by Lu Jing.
At first, Lu Jing planned to claim that it belonged to his distant cousin, but Ye Gongmei rejected it without hesitation.
The little girl with two braids did not want to reveal her identity, but she insisted that she must be a generation higher than Lu Jing.
In the end, Lu Jing could only call her aunt, but fortunately, seniority had nothing to do with age.
Seeing the last afterglow disappearing from the horizon.
Yan Yun and Kui never showed up, so Lu Jing decided not to wait any longer. He waved his hand and asked people to start serving food.
As a result, just when everyone was about to use their chopsticks, Yan Yun arrived late.
"Sorry, I have been investigating a case before. I just solved the matter and went back to change clothes." Yan Yun said to Lu Jing.
"It's okay, it's okay, Yang Tao only finished what he was doing in the afternoon." Lu Jing said in surprise.
With Wen Xiaochuan, the gossip trumpet, Yan Yun must know who the guests are at tonight's New Year's Eve banquet.
And she is still willing to come, which in itself says a lot.
Could it be that... Lu Jing's heartbeat started to accelerate and he didn't dare to think about it any further.
At this time, everyone else's eyes fell on Xia Huai. The girl's expression remained unchanged. After a while, she took the initiative to pick up a bowl of tea and said, "Nvxia Yan is coming over just after finishing the case. She must be tired from running around all the time." , drink tea first to moisten your throat."
Yan Yun was a little surprised, but still took the tea from Xia Huai and said, "Thank you."
This somewhat dull conversation between the two women made many people feel relieved, and also disappointed some people who wanted to watch the excitement.
Such as Ye Gongmei and Chen Hanqing.
Although the latter's ears almost stood up, he still tried his best to keep a straight face and pretended that he didn't care at all, but Ye Gongmei just yawned and said, "It's boring, we didn't start fighting anyway, it's too cheap." My good nephew."
As a result, before she could finish her words, Lu Jing stuffed a piece of candy in her mouth.
"Auntie, eat more, you are growing taller."
Ye Gongmei was furious when she heard this. She hated people treating her like a child, not to mention Lu Jing who knew her details. She wanted to spit out the candy on the spot to prove that she was an adult.
However, when you take a bite, your mouth will be filled with soft and sweet taste.
I couldn't vomit immediately.
Ye Gongmei ate up the candy corner in three swipes, and then shouted, "Why is this stuff different from what I ate at the market before? Not only is it more fragrant, but it's also not greasy."
"Because this is my secret candy, using my unique recipe." Fake Zhaozong said cheerfully when someone praised him for doing a good job.
"Boy, your skills are very good!" Ye Gongmei praised sincerely, and then said to Lu Jing, "Quick, give me a few more!"
Lu Jing saw that even if she stood up, she really couldn't reach the candy candies placed at the other end of the table, so he asked the fake Zhaozong to serve her another box separately. Then Ye Gongmei began to concentrate on the desserts, and finally stopped. Trouble with Lu Jing.
As for Chen Hanqing, he could no longer conceal the sour look in his eyes. He first looked at Wen Xiaochuan, who was smiling like a flower, then at the gentle and lovely Xia Huai, and finally at the heroic Yan Yun.
It feels like the whole person has turned into a jar of old vinegar.
Why is there such a big gap between this person and other people?
Seeing that most of the guests had already arrived, Lu Jing stopped talking nonsense and directly greeted everyone to start eating.
Early the next morning, before dawn, everyone got up from their beds and began to find places to dig holes on Qinglong Mountain to bury face snakes, eggs and beans.
This is also a tradition during the Chinese New Year in Dachen. As the saying goes, when snakes move, diseases will move, when chickens grow, diseases move, and when beans grow, diseases move.
Translation: When snakes crawl out of the ground, chicks emerge from eggs, and beans begin to sprout, then my family will get sick.
Naturally, the snake would not crawl out of the pit. As for the eggs and beans, they were cooked before being buried to prevent them from hatching chicks and sprouting.
In short, this tradition is more like a joke with ghosts and gods.
After that, willow branches should be inserted on the doors and windows, and a pair of peach wood wedges should be nailed to the left and right of the gate to serve as peach charms.
After nailing the peach charms, there is the traditional step of pasting the Spring Festival couplets and pasting the door gods.
Because putting up Spring Festival couplets and door gods can keep evil spirits and poor ghosts out of the house, of course everyone in Si Tianjian does not believe in this theory of ghosts and gods.
But this kind of thing is just for fun.
Speaking of which, this was also the first time Lu Jing had a good Spring Festival since he came to this world.
When he was still in the Qingzhu Gang, he had to go to the dock to carry big bags every day. He was precarious, so naturally he had no intention to celebrate this festival.
Later, he met Gu Caiwei, became famous, and his life improved, but after all, he was alone in Wujiang City. Although he would visit Zhang Sanfeng's house during the holidays.
But he almost never stayed to eat. It wasn't that Zhang Sanfeng was still reluctant to part with those pieces of meat, but that Lu Jing always felt like an outsider when he stayed with his master and his family.
And looking at the happy scene in front of me, it is easy to think of my family in the previous life.
So Lu Jing actually doesn't like celebrating holidays.
Until this year, he had his own territory and was surrounded by his friends. This year finally had a pleasant life.
It's a pity that the world is still not peaceful, and since he learned about the existence of the dragon, Lu Jing couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart.
In the past, he always liked to make a fortune in silence, not fighting or grabbing, and just accepting the situation, thinking that if the sky fell, tall men like Guo Shaojian and Huang Jianyuan would be the first to hold it up.
But now Lu Jing is not sure whether Guo Shouhuai and Si Tianjian can hold up this day.
If one day, this world is really destroyed by a doomsday disaster, will he regret that he did not try his best before?
The most important thing is that now he is no longer alone, he has many people he cares about.
And once a person has too much, he will naturally become more and more afraid of losing it.
Lu Jing looked at Wen Xiaochuan and Xia Huai who were lapping their hands and posting Spring Festival couplets with him, as well as Yan Yun who was practicing swordplay not far away, and knew that he didn't want to see anything happen to them no matter what.
So, take some time in the new year to figure out how to slay the dragon that was cut into sections and packaged in various secret realms.
Just think of it as a plan to prevent Guo Shouhuai and Si Tianjian from going wrong in their salvation plan, so that they will not be helpless and can only watch the world being destroyed.
