The fluttering lights and the falling orioles... Snow Raking Village was wrapped in silver light for the first time this year. In previous years, this small village in Saibei would already have heavy snowfall in October, but I don’t know why this year it was not until the 29th of the first lunar month that it was so happy.

I look forward to this belated silver makeup again.

The old people say that this is a sign before the evil beast comes. Every household has its doors closed at night and no one can go out.

Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, when the whole country celebrates. Early this morning, the villagers took their families and children to Saibei Town to buy new year's goods. The village has already been decorated with lights and colorful decorations. After all, the snow has come. Maybe it's all God.

You are joking, naturally it will not disturb people's festive mood during the New Year.

Before sunset, the villagers came back in twos and threes with joy and laughter. The children wore new clothes for the New Year, and the women wore silver hairpins and bracelets given by their husbands.

"Hey, Hua Xiucai, didn't you go to town?"

A young man in shivering clothes and with a forlorn look on his face stood in front of his low courtyard with his hands in his sleeves, looking at the passing neighbors. His name was Hua Chenluo, and he was the only scholar from Shiliba Village in the past century.

Under the extravagant governance, the imperial examinations had long been in vain. Not to mention that he was a small scholar and even a seventh-rank official in the county had to pay tribute to the court every year.

"Haha... I've finished shopping. I've bought the New Year's goods a long time ago." He smiled bitterly, wondering where Hua Xiucai would have the money to buy the New Year's goods.

A year ago, the farmland and the only old scalper in the family were occupied by the rich man Huang in the village. His parents were so angry that they tried to argue with him, but they were beaten violently by the Huang family. After returning home, they both let go within a few days.

What about a lawsuit? My family doesn't even have the money to hire a lawyer. Even if I file a lawsuit, I'm afraid the officials will protect me now. The money Mr. Huang gave to the county magistrate was enough to pay for these two lives.

At this time, a festive suona sound came from the direction of the village. As if fearing that people in villages ten miles away would not know that someone was celebrating a happy event, the musician raised the sound by an octave and forcibly dragged all the villagers who had returned home out of their homes.

Everyone was whispering to each other, but they didn't know which village's girl was getting married? In the past, there were only dozens of families in the neighborhood who wanted to get married. Anyone who wanted to get married would have already sent out wedding invitations and waited to receive the bride price.

Within a quarter of an hour, a group of people seeing their relatives entered the village. There were about ten people in this group, and they were dressed a little strangely. They were all dressed in black and wore large felt hats, especially the two cotton hats hanging down on the left and right sides of the felt hat.

, actually covered most of the faces of these men in black. The sun was setting over the western mountains at this moment, and with the weird outfits of their group, it was less festive and more weird.

Hua Xiucai sighed and turned around and went back to the house. It seemed that another childhood friend in the village was getting married. In short, she could not be his wife.

"Is Hua Xiucai at home?" A thin, effeminate man knocked on the door of Hua Xiucai's house. The wedding party also dropped the red sedan, and it seemed that this was the bride's husband's family.

Hua Xiucai opened the door and took a look. He suddenly took a breath of cold air and took two steps back, almost falling. The man who came to knock on the door was very strange. He had a sharp mouth, monkey cheeks, and slender eyes. A cold light shone from his upper and lower eyelids.

Xiucai stared at Hua Xiucai.

"you you……"
