"Looking askance at people" was forcibly held by a dog leash, with his head lowered and his legs stubbornly held up.
If Lu Yuan can't pull it, then Dabai will pull it with his mouth.
With great strength, Dabai held the rope in his mouth and dragged the defeated Nian beast across the village.
"Looking askance at people" was shaking with anger, walking awkwardly on the road, full of anger.
After resting for a while, it secretly gathered some strength.
Out of the corner of his eye, the descendant of Nian Beast appeared in the darkness. When he saw it being led by a dog leash, his self-esteem exploded. He became surprisingly angry and irrational. He used up the strength he had finally saved and resisted desperately.
"Ouch!"
It opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Lu Yuan, the heat all over its body was so red that it rolled away.
But Dabai was like a wall, lying in front of Lu Yuan, pressing down with one hand.
At this time, the "squinting" face was buried in the ground. He wanted to raise his head and chest, but he couldn't. He couldn't help but blushed with embarrassment and became angry.
In my ears, I heard the cheers of children.
"Wow, it's the defeated Nian Beast!"
"Master Lu defeated the Nian Beast leader!"
"we won!"
The children climbed up to the windowsill and opened the windows, their big eyes staring with disbelief on their faces.
The adult villager cautiously showed his head with the firecracker beast and looked outside.
Seeing the humiliating parade of the three-star Nian Beast covered with scars, he was immediately overjoyed.
Master Lu conquered the Nian Beast leader!
Word spread quickly on New Year's Eve.
The wild Nian beasts retreated in fear. Even if the New Year's Nian was ripe, they did not dare to harvest it.
Terrible humans!
…
Lu Yuan wandered around for many times until Zishi passed and New Year's Eve passed. Dabai could no longer smell the smell of other Nian beasts, so he went back to sleep with peace of mind.
Of course, Lu Yuan can sleep peacefully, but the villagers cannot sleep peacefully.
Jiang Bo and Jiang Xue will light candles in the house, and add vegetable oil to the lantern cage outside the door at appropriate times to keep it illuminated all night.
This painful process is called staying up late.
Stay awake and don't let the Nian beast eat it.
The ancestors said so.
Knowing that Lu Yuan was going to sleep, Jiang Bo was a little surprised and felt embarrassed.
The defeat of the Nian Beast leader does not mean that the Nian Beast disaster is over.
The Nian beast cubs, who are so hungry that they are fainting, may come back and eat people when their attention is distracted, and then run away after eating.
Therefore, Uncle Jiang also erected the family's traditional donkey shadow puppet behind the paper window.
People hide behind donkey shadow puppets, look at candlesticks, or read books. In short, they must pay attention to what is going on outside and not fall asleep completely.
"Master Lu, do you really want to sleep on New Year's Eve? Isn't it a bit dangerous?"
"Dabai won't sleep and will keep vigil for you.
"Besides, the most difficult part of New Year's Eve is over, and there will be no Nian Beast leader entering this village.
"Look at the Nian beast outside the door. Its IQ is not low. It is as smart as my Dabai. Therefore, after the other Nian beast leaders know about it, they will not dare to be stubborn even if they know that there is a powerful enemy. Isn't it better to change the village than to chew hard bones?" Lu Yuan He shook his head.
"That's the truth, but..." Uncle Jiang's tone softened at this point.
Lu Yuan was right. The leader of the Nian Beast was defeated in humiliation. No Nian Beast would dare to enter the village in the future. This was a crushing of strength and a glorious result.
Looking at the village's performance in previous years, none of them had such strong results. At least forty or fifty people would be killed, and as many as hundreds.
In the past, our ancestors blessed us with many children and good fortune, so we could barely get by.
Now...the ancestral temple in Liuhe Village will be rebuilt. People from each family are waiting for those who died in the Nian Beast disaster to cremate the bodies and send them to the ancestral temple so that they can continue to bless everyone.
After the leader of the Nian beast is surrendered, the Nian beast will definitely not dare to enter the village. This is indeed a good thing.
But when Uncle Jiang thought about the emptiness of his ancestral temple, he was not completely relieved.
"There are only two people left in our family. No one will come to retaliate against us, and Master Lu is also in the house."
When Uncle Jiang thought of this, he relaxed a little.
Jiang Xue has not yet realized the terrifying nature of her grandfather's words.
What is more terrifying than the Nian beast is the uneducated and ignorant people.
No one died from the Nian beast on New Year's Eve, so where did the ancestors come from?
Uncle Jiang didn't say anything clearly, he just looked out the window, thinking that he still had to resolutely carry out the matter of staying up late on New Year's Eve.
Jiang Xue's attention was not on Shou Sui. She just noticed that Senior Lu mentioned New Year's Eve.
very strange.
Why is tonight New Year's Eve?
"Senior, I have a question to ask you."
Lu Yuan was about to go back to his room to sleep when he heard Jiang Xue's question and stopped.
"what is the problem?"
"It's New Year's Eve, right?"
"Yes." Lu Yuan nodded, not understanding what she wanted to ask.
"Does New Year's Eve mean the same thing?"
"Otherwise?" Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Seeing Jiang Xue's expression of realization and the confused expression on Uncle Jiang's face, Lu Yuan suddenly felt something was wrong.
Jiang Xue and Jiang Bo had different reactions to New Year's Eve.
The former is the joy after solving knowledge, and the latter is pure doubt.
"Do you have any questions about New Year's Eve?"
"No more." Jiang Xue shook her head, "New Year's Eve should be the name outside. I call it New Year's Eve, or New Year's Eve."
New Year's Eve New Year's Eve... Lu Yuan recited this name in his mind, and suddenly his whole body trembled, thinking of a certain possibility.
The "Xi" in New Year's Eve may also be a terrifying beast species, otherwise why use the word "di".
"Uncle Jiang, haven't you heard about New Year's Eve?" Lu Yuan asked.
Uncle Jiang shook his head.
The old man went through all the New Year memories in his mind, but he had never heard of this statement.
"Then what do you think of when you hear the word New Year's Eve?"
"When I first heard this name, it should be a ferocious beast with the same name as the Nian beast." Jiang Bo thought thoughtfully.
"Then have you ever heard of a ferocious beast with this name anywhere?"
Uncle Jiang shook his head and said: "Master, I haven't traveled much. Maybe it's the name of that place. Maybe 'Xi' has been conquered before it spread."
Surrendered?
The possibility is very low. This is a holiday name that is well-known to every household. It has been so for generations and has far-reaching influence.
Since you haven’t heard of it, it’s likely that “Xi” hasn’t been born yet.
Maybe "Xi" is a ferocious beast born in the Sixth Age. Lu Yuan will have to go back and check carefully to find out.
As mentioned before, Lu Yuan's understanding of many knowledge is only at the well-known superficial level, and he does not have an in-depth understanding.
The concept of New Year's Eve is like celebrating the festival as naturally as eating and drinking, without really paying attention to the ins and outs behind it.
"Xi" does not survive in later generations like the Nian beast. It may be a ferocious beast that was completely eliminated, and its name only exists in human festival commemorations.
Lu Yuan thought of this and couldn't wait to return to reality.
After bidding farewell to the two of them, Lu Yuan first went to deal with "looking at people cross-eyed", causing Dabai to have cramps and broken bones, completely losing his fighting ability. Then he went back to the house to sleep and left the dreamland.
This victory on New Year's Eve gave Lu Yuan a lot. He knew that in ancient times, the Nian beast was not as unbearable as later generations imagined. In addition, the biggest gain was that he became interested in the ferocious beast "Xi".
He searched the name "Xi" on the Internet, and most of the pictures that popped up were scenery pictures of the setting sun.

"Website retrieval..."
"Search results have been updated—Beast: Xi"
"Prehistoric life existed in an unknown era. It is initially speculated that "Xi" is a time-based beast. There is no detailed information about it.
At present, only the festival information of human civilization retains a little information about it. "
Lu Yuan clicked the mouse and wanted to pull the progress bar to look down, but he couldn't pull it.
Only then did I realize that there was only so much information about "Xi".
Everything about "Xi" seems to have been cut off by the years and unknown to outsiders.
