110, Chapter 110
As the Chinese New Year approaches, the city is always extremely lively.
Because the way of life of monsters is different from that of humans, they still retain many ancient customs. Those customs no longer exist in human society.
There should be no flowers in winter, but the Li family is different. Their yard is full of all kinds of flowers. When you walk into the yard, you can smell the fragrance of flowers.
The yard is full of flowers. City C is a northern city, and now only the Li family can find the yard full of flowers.
The Li family is so big that it can hardly be called a simple home. Countless little monsters live in it. As one of the oldest aristocratic families in City C, they have countless followers.
Standing at the door and looking into the yard, countless firelights lit up every corner of the yard, like a brilliant and spectacular astrological map.
"How is this year? Compared with last year, it looks pretty good." A man stood on a high mountain in the Li family's domain and looked down from above.
"It's very good." An old man's voice rang out, "Look at the flowers in this yard, how beautiful they are."
"How are the little monsters this year? Have all your tributes been collected?"
"Hey, it's all done." The old voice sighed heavily, "But the girl in my family is probably still the same as in previous years."
"Don't be like this, it's really ridiculous that your Li family still has to worry about this." The person who spoke smiled, "The Li family is the most charitable in C City, and the Li family that all the monsters in C City long for, Ying Ying is just too young, it would be better if he grows up a little bit."
"I hope so." The old man sighed again, "I hope that every year in the future will be as safe as this year."
Today, C City is still very lively, and in a small clothing store in the Yousheng District, there are several people standing on the first floor, looking eagerly up.
"What's wrong, boss? He's been up for half an hour, why hasn't he come down yet?" Tang Shi raised his head and his neck became stiff.

"Yes...why doesn't he come out yet? If he doesn't come out, I will be late." Liu An also looked up and said.
"What connection do you think the boss has with the Li family? Why would the Li family send him something like that?" Liu An still hasn't thought about this issue clearly.
I just heard some popular science about Tang poetry. That kind of gift box should be used when the Li family visits important people. It should contain many valuable things.
The Li family is one of the most famous families in C City. Their gift boxes are all pink and tender in color. This is because of their family tradition.
Everyone in City C knows that their family likes flowers and all kinds of pink and tender things. Their family emblem is a deformed flower.
"Although you said it was a gift box for an important person..." Liu An said with a somewhat uncertain tone: "I think the boss's reaction was not a surprise, but more like a shock."
He recalled the action of his boss just now. If the Li family's position was such, then the gift box sent by their family should be a very honorable thing, even if it was presented generously, it would be fine.
However, the boss's reaction at that time was to take the thing away in a hurry, without even letting them take a second look.
Until now, he has not come down, and he has not even said to take the thing off to show it to them. This is simply incredible for the boss's over-the-top personality.
What happened to him? Does that thing mean anything to him?
Just when Liu An was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard the sound of the door being opened.
He and the two girls next to him suddenly looked up.
The boss came down from upstairs, his face was expressionless, and he didn't hold the box in his hand.
Liu An's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the boss's face.
Something's wrong... There's something wrong with the boss's expression.
The two little girls next to them looked at Yuan Yuanyuan walking down from above and gradually lowered their voices.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the three people below. The three people stared at her, making her whole body feel hairy.
Did she think there was something wrong with me that I looked like?
Yuan Yuanyuan still felt a little guilty. She wanted to run naked upstairs just now to express her inner excitement... Mainly because so many gold bars could definitely destroy all her sanity.
Until she went downstairs, she felt that the expression on her face was uncontrollable, just like a patient with cerebral thrombosis who was constantly twitching. The corners of her mouth kept curling up, then she forced them down, and then they grinned up again...
Then Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she could never go downstairs with this expression. She adjusted herself upstairs for a long time. Although she couldn't make a normal expression, she could still do it with a straight face.
After confirming that her face had changed from cerebral thrombosis to facial paralysis, Yuan Yuanyuan carefully walked downstairs.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she saw three people below looking up at her.
Although Yuan Yuanyuan noticed something was wrong for a moment, she didn't think much about it. She looked at the time and said to Liu An: "Tonight...just make something to eat, just be your share." , don’t have to do too much.”
It was Liu An's usual working time, and Yuan Yuanyuan was afraid that he would be late. Normally, Liu An would have started cooking earlier today, but today he was delayed because of the guests.
Although Yuan Yuanyuan put away the box of things now, it was unreasonable to spit out the things in her hands. The reason why she didn't use it now was just because she was afraid of getting into trouble. She would see if there was anything to do in the next few days. If there was nothing, she would take those things out.
Because of this, Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she was in a very good mood today and wanted to celebrate. It happened that Liu An was going to be late today, so she asked Liu An to do less. She secretly slipped out after they left, went home to buy some spare ribs and cooked...
Ah, it was so beautiful, so beautiful.
Yuan Yuanyuan was about to fly up. She jumped to the kitchen with an expressionless face. There were some steamed buns in the kitchen. The spare ribs would probably have to be stewed until the middle of the night. She was afraid that she would starve to death, so she prepared to eat a steamed bun first and wait while eating.
I remember that there seemed to be some pickles here...
Yuan Yuanyuan was a salted fish, but even at her most salty period, she was very confident in two things.
One was her ability to transform, and the other was her hearing.
She was very sensitive to both to an amazing degree, for example, no one could have imagined how far away she could hear things without trying.
At first, she thought this was an ability that all monsters had, but after a long time, she realized that this was not the case.
Because of her unexpected ability, people often said some interesting things in her "ear".
Because of this, Yuan Yuanyuan knew a lot of secrets.
When she was looking for pickles, she suddenly heard someone talking in the lobby.
Yuan Yuanyuan was eavesdropping carelessly while putting pickles in a plastic bag.
"The boss just said... you don't have to do his share."
"Have you ever seen the boss not eating? I haven't."
"Yes, he told me last time that he ate three bowls of rice in one meal when he was practicing magic... I was so tired when I was practicing magic that I couldn't eat a single bite."
"I think the boss is the kind of person... he would still cry while eating three bowls of rice after breaking up with his girlfriend. That person is very heartless."
Hey, what are you doing? Don't think I can't hear you and you are just slandering me. Yuan Yuanyuan rolled her eyes.
"He won't be..."
"What is it?"
"Won't be..."
Yuan Yuanyuan's ears stood up.
"He won't be going out to drink alone again... I remember there was a bottle of Erguotou in the kitchen. Does he have something to do with the Li family?"
"Drinking alone secretly? When has the boss ever done something so cool?" Tang Shi's horrified voice came over.
"Well... a long time ago, he drank too much one day, but neither of you were there that day."
"How is that possible? With the boss looking so dead, how could he..."
Yuan Yuanyuan came over with a steamed bun in her mouth, her eyebrows knitted tightly, she half squatted down, sneaking towards the wooden door of the kitchen.
She thought to herself, when did I drink secretly? I only drank too much once since I was a child, and Liu An saw it.
Yuan Yuanyuan listened to the nonsense of the group of people outside and felt very confused. If this continued, she would be described by this group of people as a very sentimental person, just like Lin Daiyu.
She was about to go out to interrupt the conversation of the three people and give them a cerebral thrombosis smile to prove that she was not the kind of person who complained at all, when she suddenly heard Liu An say something.
"Wait a minute, I also secretly hid some pig head meat... I was afraid that the boss would eat it all and hide it on the roof. It's not good to drink on an empty stomach, so I cut it for him and brought it to the bar..."
"Won't it be greasy to eat only pig head meat? I still have half a bag of drunkard peanuts, which are left over from lunch." Tang Shi said.
"I, I still have a small cake..."
Yuan Yuanyuan stuffed all the steamed buns in her hand into her mouth, chewed them a few times and swallowed them, almost choking herself to death.
Very good, now I am Lin Daiyu.
...
A bright moon hung in the sky, and four people sat under the moon.
The four people sat quietly on the roof. There was a small stove on the roof, a small wine stove on it, and a few small plates next to it.
"Drink less." Liu An looked at the boss next to him and said, he just said it casually, thinking that he might not listen.
The boss drank a glass of wine silently, then gently raised the wine pot next to him and burned it on the stove.
Liu An looked at the boss's slender fingers, gently holding the wine pot.
The boss is a very powerful monster, Liu An knew this a long time ago. However, he hardly saw a trace of powerful monster in the boss.
He always looks very salty, but now, when he holds the wine pot, Liu An suddenly finds something very subtle.
The boss looks very good when he is heating the wine.
He looks like he is a little drunk, with one hand supporting the ground and the other hand holding the small wine pot, his face is as cold as water, and the action of heating the wine is really smooth.
Tang Shi and Qiu Ling next to him obviously saw it, and they looked at each other, and they dared not say anything.
"Don't you have to go to work?" Liu An suddenly heard the boss ask.
"Ahem, I'm not too busy these days, so I don't need it yet." Recently, the number of monsters on alert has doubled. It is probably because the New Year is approaching, so there are fewer monsters who die. He just talked to Sandaoba, who usually works with him, and asked him to help him for a day.
After hearing this, the boss said "Oh" lightly and stopped asking.
Yuan Yuanyuan thought, is my performance good enough for Lin Daiyu... Is it enough, is it enough?
She took out a small handkerchief, spit out all the wine she just drank, and then wiped her mouth in an elegant manner.
It is a necessary skill for monsters to accompany drinking in the tavern. Although she doesn't accompany, this is taught by her colleagues.
She looked at the moon, sighed softly, then turned her head, turned her back to the three people, and bit a piece of pig head meat with a ferocious face.
The cheeks were almost stretched to the root of the neck, and this bite bit off a small half.
While Yuan Yuanyuan was eating, she suddenly heard Liu An behind her say something.
"Boss...if you have any sad things, just say it out, you will feel much better after saying it out."
Hmm, hmm, hmm. Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and took another bite of the pork head, with a happy smile on her face.
Ah...what did you say?
This Saturday's "Yao Ji" was updated, with a round moon drawn on it, and two people sitting under the moon, wearing two clothes, one gray and one red.
