120, Chapter 120 (1/2)

Chinese New Year.

Yuan Yuanyuan didn't meet anyone on the way from home to the pub. She originally thought that she might happen to see one or two people wandering on the street, but she didn't even see a dog.

Later, she thought about it, and it was true. She had never walked back and forth on the street during the Chinese New Year before, so naturally she didn't know that the streets during the Chinese New Year would be like this.

When Yuan Yuanyuan walked to the front of her small courtyard, she used a chessboard trick. She wanted to see if there were any monsters hiding around, but she didn't hear any heartbeats around, but heard a lot of messy sounds on the street behind.

She looked over there and saw a sky-high light, but the color of this light was not red, but a mixture of gold and purple, which looked a bit magnificent.

The light was blocked a lot by the building in front of her, but it still came through faintly, forming a faint outline in front of her.

Yuan Yuanyuan squinted her eyes and looked over there. That was the direction of the square. She saw the scene over there on her phone, but she didn't expect that it would be like this when she came over to see it with her own eyes.

The red, gold and purple mixed together and were particularly dazzling, as if they were going to illuminate the entire sky. Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know why, but she inexplicably remembered the auspicious golden light behind the Buddha every time he appeared in the old version of Journey to the West...

She shook her head. The monster didn't seem to believe in Buddhism, so she lowered her head and opened the door with the key. When she pushed the door, she looked at the yard and was suddenly stunned.

There was actually a person in the yard... sitting under the tree created by the magic, looking drowsy.

[To be honest, I've been using it recently, both Android and Apple are available. ]

Yuan Yuanyuan's eyes widened. I don't know when Liu An squatted under the tree, but she thought about it and thought it was wrong. Why didn't she feel that there was someone in the house when she was outside?

She pondered for a while, took another step forward, and then she heard the sound of heartbeat in her ears.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt the faint smell in the air, frowned, and sniffed carefully, then she found the trick.

Someone here has used illusions... and this illusion is particularly familiar.

Illusions that are so familiar... are either used by Yuan Yuanyuan herself or taught by Yuan Yuanyuan.

Yuan Yuanyuan had an idea in her mind, she walked over and patted Liu An on the shoulder, "Don't sleep here, you will catch a cold."

Liu An under the tree sniffed and opened his eyes in a daze. Yuan Yuanyuan pondered the principle of the illusion around him. This should be Liu An's own thinking. Using illusions to hide his heartbeat and breathing is really amazing. If Yuan Yuanyuan didn't know the principle of this thing, she wouldn't understand it.

Liu An opened his eyes and saw Yuan Yuanyuan squatting in front of him. He sat up with a start and said, "Boss."

"Why are you staying here?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked.

"That... my friend who lives with me went out today. I felt quite bored, so I came back with my backpack." Liu An said.

That's right... Liu An's friend is a monster. He must have gone out to hang out today, and he probably can't accompany Liu An.

"Then why don't you go with him?" Yuan Yuanyuan took out the key to open the door of the small building, and asked as she opened it.

"I... don't like to go out during the Chinese New Year." Liu An said.

"Pfft, what a weird habit you have, just like a human." Yuan Yuanyuan was inexplicably happy when she heard this. She didn't know why she was happy. Maybe she saw so many monsters who had to go out to hang out during the Chinese New Year. Now she suddenly ran into a monster who didn't go out like a human, and she actually felt quite kind.

Liu An behind her touched the back of his head after hearing this, smiled awkwardly, and followed her into the house.

The house had not been cleaned up since someone broke in that day. It looked empty. The broken chairs and tables were thrown out, and the windows were covered with several layers of newspapers. It looked miserable.

Yuan Yuanyuan pushed the door open and came in. She was a little uncomfortable looking at such an empty house. She pulled the only surviving chair on the first floor and sat down, asking Liu An, "Have you eaten?"

"Yes." Liu An said.

Yuan Yuanyuan was sitting on a chair with her head down, looking for something for him to sit on from a box, and finally pulled out a big blanket. This thing was originally used for making clothes. I won't say much about how to get it. After listening to Liu An's words, she always felt that it sounded a little untrue.

Apart from anything else, when she pushed the door open, she saw him squatting under the tree with his arms folded and sleeping alone. He looked so pitiful. She felt uncomfortable for some reason, and she didn't think he looked like he had eaten.

"Did you really eat or just pretend? I remember there's something in the kitchen. Do you want to eat something?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked.

"I..." Liu An said hesitantly.

"How about you go eat something? I didn't eat much today. Can you make me one more portion?" Yuan Yuanyuan said.

Liu An thought about it, got up and went into the kitchen. Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and looked at his back. After the window was broken that day, she told Liu An not to come back recently, fearing something might happen. Unexpectedly, she found him sitting under a tree when she came back. It seemed that he had come back secretly many times without her knowledge.

She sat quietly on the chair in a daze for a while, looking at the orange candlelight lighting up in the kitchen for a long time. Suddenly she thought of something and hurriedly ran upstairs in three or two steps.

It was quiet inside the house, and there was no sound in the lobby.

About an hour later, when Liu An came out of the kitchen carrying two bowls, he suddenly heard the sound of "dinging bells" coming from upstairs. When he looked up, he saw the boss dragging a big box from the second floor. Come down.

"Boss, what are you doing?" Liu An asked a little strangely, holding the bowl.

"Ah? I... I'll move this thing down and take care of it." Yuan Yuanyuan carried the box and walked towards the next step downstairs.

"Boss, wait a minute, I'll help you move it." Liu An quickly put down the bowl in his hand to help Yuan Yuanyuan, but she refused.

It turns out that the box that Yuanyuan moved was the one that someone else brought as a gift. She spent the entire hour upstairs carefully counting the contents of the box, recording it carefully, and taking pictures with her mobile phone.

Now she was thinking of putting this box in a hidden place... The box was on the second floor that day. She didn't have time to take it with her when she ran down. Unexpectedly, it survived, and she didn't touch it when she packed it up later. However, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly remembered that if something happened again, she might not be so lucky, so she planned to bury it in the yard.

There are indeed a lot of things in this thing... But after all, this thing was not given to Yuan Yuanyuan by someone else. Yuan Yuanyuan didn't want to touch it even if he was greedy. Besides, Yiqi's affairs were in a mess. She didn't know everything now. She used this thing rashly and she was still afraid of something happening.

Although she is indeed jealous, she has dreamed about things related to this box twice, and just recently... Yuan Yuanyuan rarely dreams about money. Every time she wakes up, Yuan Yuanyuan sits on the bed and stares blankly for a long time. , covering his face and thinking, am I already so horny?

Yuan Yuanyuan went out and came back after a while. When she came back, she found that Liu An had already sat on the table. There were two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, as well as soy sauce and vinegar.

"This is..." Yuan Yuanyuan walked over and took a look, "Dumplings?"

"Yes, boss, are you jealous?" Liu And said.

"...Eat, you are very fast, you wrapped two curtains in one hour? What kind of dumplings are these?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked, looking at the dumplings curiously.

"Potatoes and green onions."

...Yuan Yuanyuan's whole body was shaken violently.

"Well, there's nothing else in the kitchen, just four potatoes with sprouts, a bunch of green onions, and some flour." Liu And said.

"Then... can't you just have a bowl of noodles?" Yuan Yuanyuan looked inexplicably sore, "Where did you see this mess? People eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, but they all have leek and egg fillings. How can I This is stuff, so don’t read your messy stuff in the future. If you are really interested, just come and ask me, because the monsters out there don’t know as much as I do.”

The two of them sat down to eat dumplings. Yuan Yuanyuan had nothing to say after eating them. Anyway, she could accept dumplings with any kind of filling.

While eating dumplings, Liu An suddenly asked her what other customs humans still have during the Chinese New Year. Yuan Yuanyuan casually told him some. In fact, some of the customs she mentioned are gone now. Everyone in her hometown likes to hug her during the Chinese New Year. Playing on the mobile phone, with the background sound of the Spring Festival Gala playing in front of her... But Yuan Yuanyuan still doesn't want a monster to know that humans are such decadent creatures.

I obviously don't have a strong sense of racial pride, but I don't know why it suddenly popped up at this time...

So she was talking about things that sounded beautiful, such as setting off fireworks until early in the morning, children going to ask for New Year's money, adults sitting together playing mahjong... Liu An just kept listening quietly. After finishing, he said: "I didn't expect you, boss, to be quite familiar with the human world."

After hearing what he said, Yuan Yuanyuan felt a little guilty for no reason. She felt that she had said a little too much, mainly because she did not expect that a monster would be interested in these things, so she spoke more when she was excited.

She was afraid of what Liu An was thinking. After all, she had something in her heart, so she casually added that she had lived among humans for a period of time before, changing the subject.

"The monsters that live a long time... don't they all have colorful lives?" Liu Andao said, "They live longer than humans and experience more things than humans. If you have nothing to do, you can go to the human world for a private visit. It’s interesting to know a little bit about everything.”

Yuan Yuanyuan was drinking dumpling soup at that time. After hearing this, she held the bowl and pondered for a while, and said, "That's not entirely the case."

"Not entirely?"

"To be precise...most monsters and humans are not very familiar with each other. At most, they are only familiar with a few Taoist priests." Yuan Yuanyuan said, "Monsters...most of the time are not very familiar with humans."

"Then boss you..."

"Don't use me as an example. I'm not normal." Yuan Yuanyuan waved her hands in embarrassment. Just as she was waving her hands, a huge firework suddenly shot up into the sky and exploded behind her.

Yuan Yuanyuan and Liu An both looked out the window at the same time. There was a giant cornflower-like monster exploding in the sky, occupying the entire sky.

The fireworks were so big that Yuan Yuanyuan had to go to the window to see them. She had never seen such big fireworks before, and she didn't know who set them off.

Actually, it should be said who is so bold as to set off fireworks on the street, but Yuan Yuanyuan forgot about it all of a sudden, mainly because she rarely sees this kind of blue-purple fireworks, and she didn't remember it all of a sudden.

"What is this...?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked.

"This is the Zhuo family." Liu An said.

"... What, what is that?" Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and asked.

"The Zhuo family's fireworks, their family's Hundred Ghosts Night Parade is recruiting people." Liu An said, "Do you want to go out and take a look?"

"..." Before Yuan Yuanyuan could ask who this Zhuo family is, and why you, who have only been here for a few months, know more than me, who has been here for almost two years, a floating float suddenly appeared in the sky. The float was very huge and looked like a small moving house.

The moon was behind it, and only a small silver light edge was left. The four half-human, half-horse monsters were pulling the float. They had snow-white horse bodies and human upper bodies. They wore lavender ancient clothes, and the jewelry on their bodies sparkled under the moon.

The car was made of wood, with carved patterns on the windows, gauze curtains, and jade tassels on the four corners of the car.

The car flew from one end of the moon to the other, and countless purple petals fell from the sky, soon covering the ground. Many of them fell into the yard, with crystal dew on them.

Yuan Yuanyuan watched this carriage that seemed to appear in a dream flash through the sky, like the carriage of an immortal in a myth. When this antique carriage flew over the city with countless neon lights, she even had a dreamlike illusion.

The car quickly flew away from their heads and flew to another place. Yuan Yuanyuan stretched her neck to look up and vaguely saw a figure in the car.

It was a young man who sat very upright, wearing a hair crown on his head. He flashed past her, leaving only a silhouette in her memory.

Countless red and black lights shot up into the sky, gathering from all directions. Soon, they covered the sky and blocked out the sun.

This thick black and red light was behind the purple car, like a billowing smoke, disappearing into the sky with it.
