Chapter 426 The End of the Year

On December 31st, night fell, announcing the end of 2010.

Accompanied by explosions, colorful fireworks were lit in the sky. Children in new clothes ran down the long street, leaving laughter like silver bells. The children's scarves were stretched and fluttering behind them, like a rope. Smart little tail.

On the street, the choir lined up and sang celebratory songs under the conductor.

Vehicles were coming and going, and the lights in every house were on. Through the windows, women could be seen busy carrying dinner plates. Men were clinking wine glasses, and the light yellow wine turned into fine snow-white foam.

The year is finally coming to an end. When Lu Mingfei thinks back to the Spring Festival spent at his aunt's house at the beginning of the year, it really seems like a dream.

This journey has not been easy, but at the end of 2010, I was finally reunited with my parents after 8 years of separation.

To celebrate the New Year, their family, like other families, gathered at the same table to eat.

Yes, a family, including Uesugoshi, Eriko and her two brothers.

After he and Eriki got married, the two families became one family, and this was the first time they had dinner together.

In order to set a good example for her husband, Lu Lincheng strongly asked Qiao Weini to stay away from the kitchen and let his dear wife chat more with her in-laws.

Today's meal was prepared by Lu Lincheng and Yabuki Sakura together. There were Japanese and Chinese dishes on the table.

Sweet and sour pork loin, braised pork, steamed fish with sauce, braised pigeon soup, stewed beef with white radish.

The Chinese cuisine that Lu Lincheng is in charge of is not a sophisticated dish, but it still fills the room with the aroma of the dishes.

The Japanese part mainly consists of one box of Osechi dishes per person.

In the past, Japanese people believed that it was taboo to cook on New Year's Eve, so Osechi dishes were usually prepared in advance and put in a box. They were not heated when eating and were eaten directly. In Lu Mingfei's view, it was like super food. Luxurious large bento.

There are a dazzling array of small squares in the box, and the presentation is quite beautiful. On the left are black beans, fish roe, kelp rolls and dried fish, in the middle are grilled fish, grilled shrimps, and barbecued meat. On the right are cooked lotus roots, taro, bamboo shoots, and shiitake mushrooms. The small box is like a work of art, and the rich color combination makes it look pleasing to the eye.

But as for the taste, it basically follows the taste of the ingredients themselves, with a little processing and no seasoning.

Japanese cuisine is basically like this. It pays more attention to the "color" in "color, fragrance", giving people a good experience in terms of appearance, and it is very suitable for taking photos and posting on friends.

Uesugoshi cooked a small bowl of soba noodles for everyone, as well as fried tempura and grilled rice cakes.

Eriyi was very proactive and took the initiative to help Ying make a few plates of sushi. Overall, it was quite tidy.

After all, when it comes to sushi, as long as you follow the steps, it's hard to make any mistakes. Eri doesn't have to handle the ingredients herself. She only needs to sit in front of the bench and wrap the rice, seaweed, seaweed and other ingredients that Uesugoshi has cooked in order. Just get up and be fine.

The old father put a lot of effort into making his good daughter happily make sushi.

The 89-year-old man smiled like a fool when he saw Eriki sitting there carefully spreading the rice on the seaweed.

Lu Mingfei stuffed the sushi into his mouth one bite at a time, thinking that this was the sushi made by Eriyi herself, and he was enjoying eating it.

After not seeing each other for more than half a year, the relationship between Yuan Zhisheng and Miss Sakura seems to have become much closer.

Miss Sakura no longer always stands behind Yuan Zhisheng like before.

Although she still calls Yuan Zhisheng Young Master, she will also pick up fried shrimps with chopsticks and feed them to Yuan Zhisheng's mouth with her own hands.

With her long hair tied up and hanging on her chest, Miss Ying didn't change her expression, but her uncle with thick eyebrows blushed shyly.

Lu Mingfei chuckled. It seemed that he and Eriki no longer needed to use their fists to help someone wake up.

He looked to the other side. Uesugi Yue and Lu Lincheng were sitting facing each other drinking. Qiao Weini also gave Lu Lincheng some face and poured wine for them both.

Yuan Zhisheng sat next to Yuan Zhisheng, picking up vegetables. She took her chopsticks and gently opened up a piece of sauce-colored braised pork. The fat and lean meat were cooked in red and white, and the heat was not fully cooked yet. Spread out and the oil will overflow.

He tore off the piece of meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it silently, and glanced vaguely at Yuan Zhisheng beside him. He was probably a little lonely, as if he was the only one here with no one to accompany him.

Lu Mingfei quietly poked Eliyi and pointed her eyes at her second brother.

Eriki seemed to understand. She ran up to Minamoto no Sasaki with a plate of sushi and said that her brother was eating sushi.

Minamoto Shoumei called her sister unskillfully, but was finally overcome by Eriki's cuteness.

It's time for the brother and sister to deepen their relationship.

Lu Mingfei smiled and went to the bathroom.

After going to the bathroom, he didn't rush back to the lobby. He took Kakimaru and Immortal Slash and stood on the balcony on the second floor, looking at the fireworks in the distance.

Kakimaru and the two immortal swords lay quietly beside the hollow wooden fence, like his old friends.

"Really? You returned Long Yin?"

Lu Mingfei murmured softly.

"There shouldn't be such lively fireworks in that era."

Colorful lights shone on his face, and he stretched out his hands as if to catch the flames blooming in the sky.

"Can I also die with a smile on my face?"

At this moment, he was thinking a lot, and many pictures were passing through his mind.

The baby was born, holding hands with his parents and learning to walk. On the first day of kindergarten, he tried hard not to cry, but he still cried in the end.

When he grew older, he went to live with his aunt and lived in a room with his cousin. Later, he didn't want to go back and went to an Internet cafe to stay up all night. At that time, he was always alone. Until that classroom under the sunset, he looked at the podium, as if Chen Wenwen, as fragile as a white dandelion, stood on tiptoes to wipe the blackboard, thinking about who could marry Chen Wenwen in the future. Wouldn't it be great?

He used this short quiet time to recall his equally short life.

The child who handed the sword to him, the Bianruozi who sat in the ancestral hall of Xianfeng Temple, guarding the Immortal Slash and his dead companions alone, and the old sword master who wore a Tengu mask and was free and easy but unable to recover.

In front of the computer screen, Old Tang, who taught him how to speak English like a comedian, took his money and ate Heise's Fingel crazily.

Many faces flashed before his eyes along with the fireworks.

It has been more than twenty years since he came to this world, and he has really gone on a very long journey.

It has only been twenty years. For a life like Black King, it may not even be counted as a blink of an eye, but this is all that this person named "Lu Mingfei" has.

"Brother, do you remember the agreement you made with me in Japan?"

A childish voice came from behind.

"Ah, of course I didn't forget our agreement to ascend the throne." Lu Mingfei didn't look back.

"This is your last chance to regret it."

"If I finish walking that path, will I still be me?"

"You're still a fool, but maybe you don't want to be you anymore."

"If I regret it, will Nighogg still recover?"

"I will kill him in your place."

Lu Mingfei shook his head: "I'm sorry for leaving you alone."

"The sadness and pain I have experienced will not go away even if I say I'm sorry."

"I know, but... I'm sorry."

"."

"The last quarter, what happens if the deal is completed?"

"You will take back your power and power."

"Sure enough, I am that big black dragon."

"You are Lu Mingfei."

"Do you know where the World Tree comes from?"

"I don't know, it will cost a lot to figure this out."

"I wonder if Nighogg did all this to figure this out."

"Maybe, but I don't care what he thinks."

"Speaking of which, what exactly is Nighog?"

"I don't know about this issue either, but if I had stopped him at the beginning, maybe there wouldn't be so many weird things happening later."

"Are Fingel and the people on the Zeromonyach still alive?"

"Still alive, but you can't see them yet."

"Will the world end?"

"As long as you sit on the throne, you can do anything."

"Then can I die with a smile on my face?"

"That's something only you can decide."

"Sure enough, I'm still a little scared. I've only been around for twenty years and I'm not like Liu Xiu who has been an emperor."

"Do you still remember, that day, in order to resurrect Norton and Constantine, you and Ye Sheng went underground to visit the body of Norton Dragon Attendant."

"Didn't you ask me to go there? You said you can resurrect them only if you go there."

"[I'm here, everything I've experienced is certainly not false], these are your original words, and I'm giving them back to you now."

Lu Mingfei felt the person behind him disappear.

"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh"

In the distance, suddenly a large number of fireworks shot into the sky. Flower seeds bloomed to their heart's content. Purple, blue, green, and yellow light bands were intertwined. Bright sparks fell like meteors, coloring the Milky Way. .

He heard the footsteps and turned around. Eriki poked her head out of the darkness. When she saw him, her eyes shone with a different light.

Eriki trotted to his side: "What is Sakura doing here?"

"Watch the fireworks." Lu Mingfei stroked Hui Liyi's head: "It's very beautiful."

Eriki looked in the direction of his finger.

"Yeah, very beautiful."

"Eri, do you want to set off fireworks?"

"May I?"

"Let the second brother drive us to buy fireworks. He has nothing to do anyway."

"Where is the sister who often accompanies my brother?"

"That sister is in Japan. She is Ryoma. If she leaves too, trouble will easily arise."

"Yes." Eryi nodded and tugged on Lu Mingfei's sleeve, as if she wanted to say something to him.

The fireworks outside were exploding loudly. Lu Mingfei leaned down and put his ear next to her face.

"What's wrong."

"Tonight." Eriki's voice was sweet, as if she was trying to squeeze out the water: "I want to take a bath with Sakura."

They haven't bathed together for a long time.

From the moment I entered the shelter, I lost the space for nightlife.

After all, my mother was in the next room at that time, and the sound insulation in the Khrushchev Building was so poor that they didn't dare to make too much noise.

Then came a series of unexpected events, from Siberia to Binhai City, then from Binhai City to Sweden, and finally to Germany.

Traveling all the time, Lu Mingfei was always busy with one thing or another, leaving little time to rest and accompany her.

Now that I have a lovely wife at home, how can I be willing to refuse her small request?

"Okay." Lu Mingfei put his arm around her shoulders and stood on the balcony with her to watch the fireworks.

Eryi kissed Lu Mingfei on the face, hugged his arm, and smiled happily.

The girl leaned against his chest, and the body temperature of another person came from there, which was very warm.

Lu Mingfei's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He had long been accustomed to this level of contact. He just thought of something else. He took a deep breath, as if he had made some decision, and whispered Eili Yier in his ear. Bian said: "Tonight, I have something to say to Eriki."

"What is it?" Eriki tilted her head and looked at him.

Lu Mingfei looked at her clear eyes without impurities and swallowed, feeling guilty in his heart.

God, I must fulfill my oath, please forgive me!

He silently made a cross in his heart.

Caesar was lying on the hospital bed with a patient's ring around his wrist.

Patsy stood beside the hospital bed, holding a booklet in his hand: "Master, there is no need for any more blood transfusions. You can be discharged from the hospital after noon."

"Yes." Caesar nodded slightly and looked to his left.

Li Wuyue, who was lying on another empty hospital bed, held a copy of "Story Club" in her hand and read it with relish.

There was also someone lying on the hospital bed on the right. Nono's face was covered with a copy of Zhiyin Manke, and she seemed to be asleep.

Patsy resigned obediently, and for a while, the only sound in the ward was the sound of Li Wuyue turning the pages of a book, and his laughter from time to time.

"What are you laughing at?" Caesar felt a little annoyed.

"Have you not seen the jokes?" Li Wuyue pointed to the page he was reading: "In this magazine, there are jokes at the beginning and on the middle color pages of each issue."

"Does the Dragon King also see human jokes?"

"Why not?" Li Wuyue shrugged: "Don't use your subjective impression to judge people you don't understand. A celebrity with a glamorous appearance and innocent personality may be a bastard who likes to hold parties with many people in private. The Dragon King also has Kind and cute, well. I’m not that type.”

"I can't imagine kindness and cuteness being associated with the Dragon King."

"That's my sister you haven't seen before. She is kind and cute. Just looking at her stupid face will make you laugh out loud."

"You still have a sister?"

"used to have."

"What kind of...um...Dragon King is she?"

"Stupid and clumsy. A Dragon King as stupid and stupid as she is can't live for long. I already knew that she would die before me."

The smile on Li Wuyue's face disappeared, and she coldly flipped through the jokes on the pages of the book, never laughing again.

ps: (It was late at night, Lu Mingfei took off the square-cut waist shoes that Eryi was wearing, hooked his hands on the edge of the white socks and took them off. Those cute little snow-white feet stepped on his palms, which made them itchy. Omitted below

The specific details will be written as a side story next month. Everyone’s enthusiasm seems to be quite strong.)
