120, one hundred and twenty

Spring Festival.

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

Later, when she thought about it, she had never walked back and forth on the streets during the New Year before. So naturally she didn't know that the streets during the New Year actually looked 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 her. But she didn't hear any heartbeats around her, but instead heard many messy sounds on the street behind her.

She looked over there and saw a light lit up to the sky. However, the color of this light was not red, but a color of gold and purple, which looked a bit magnificent.

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

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

Red is accompanied by gold and purple, and it is particularly dazzling when it is mixed together, as if it is about to illuminate the sky. Yuan Yuanyuan for some reason, inexplicably remembered the auspicious golden light behind the Buddha in the old version of Journey to the West every time the Buddha appears...

She shook her head, and the monster seemed to not 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 suddenly became stunned.

There was actually someone in the yard... sitting under the tree made by the illusion, looking drowsy.

Yuan Yuanyuan's eyes were wide open, and Liu An was squatting under the tree at some point, but she thought about it and thought that something was wrong. Why didn't she feel someone in the room outside?

She thought for a while and then took another step forward, and her heartbeat sounded in her ears.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt the faint smell in the air and frowned. She sniffed carefully, and then she realized the cat's trick.

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

Familiar with this illusion... it was either Yuan Yuanyuan used it himself or taught it by Yuan Yuanyuan.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt a clear idea in her heart, and she walked over and patted Liu An on the shoulder, "Don't sleep here, I'll catch a cold later."

Liu An under the tree twitched his nose and opened his eyes in a daze. Yuan Yuanyuan pondered the principle of the illusion around him. This should have been figured out by Liu An himself. He used the illusion to hide his heartbeat and breathing sound. It was indeed very powerful. If Yuan Yuanyuan had not known the principle of this thing, she would not have understood it.

As soon as Liu An opened his eyes, he saw Yuan Yuanyuan squatting in front of him. He sat up and said, "Boss."

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

"That... the friend who lived with me went out today. I felt quite bored, so I carried my bag and came back." Liu An said.

Yes... Liu An's friend is a monster. He must have gone out to wander around today, and probably can't accompany Liu An.

"Then won't you go with him?" Yuan Yuanyuan took out the key and opened the door of the building, asking while opening it.

"I... don't like going out during the Chinese New Year." Liu Anduo.

"Puff, what kind of weird habits are you like a person." Yuan Yuanyuan was inexplicably happy when she heard this. She didn't know why she was happy. She probably saw so many monsters who had to go out for the New Year. After suddenly meeting a monster who didn't go out like a human, she actually felt quite friendly.

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

The room has not been cleaned up since it was broken that day. It looks empty, and the broken chairs and tables have been thrown out. Several layers of newspapers are covered in the window, which looks miserable.

Yuan Yuanyuan pushed the door and looked at such an empty room a little uncomfortable. She pulled over the only surviving chair on the first floor and sat down, and asked Liu An, "Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten it." Liu Andao.

Yuan Yuanyuan was sitting on a chair with her head down, looking for something for him to sit in from a box, and finally pulled out a big blanket. This thing was originally used to make clothes, so I won't say much about the way to get it. After hearing Liu An's words, she always felt that this was a bit different from the truth.

Not to mention anything else, as soon as she pushed the door in, she saw him squatting and sleeping under the tree with his arms in his arms. She looked pitiful. She felt uncomfortable inexplicably, and she didn't feel like he had eaten.

"Did you really eat it or fake it? I remember there is something in the kitchen. Do you want to eat something?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked.

"I..." Liu An said hesitantly.

"Why don't you go and eat something? I didn't eat much today. Do you make me one by the way?" Yuan Yuanyuan said.

Liu An thought about it and got up and walked into the kitchen. Yuan Yuanyuan turned her head to look at his back. After the window was broken that day, she told Liu An not to come back soon, for fear of something happening. Unexpectedly, she caught him sitting under the tree as soon as she came back. It seemed that she had come back secretly with her back on her back.

She sat quietly on the chair and was stunned. She sat down at the orange candlelight that was lit in the kitchen for a long time. Suddenly she thought of something and quickly ran upstairs in three steps.

The room was quiet, and there was no sound in the lobby.

About an hour later, when Liu An came out of the kitchen with two bowls, he suddenly heard a "ding-bell" sound coming from the building. As soon as he looked up, he saw the boss pulling a big box and dragging it down from the second floor.

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

"Ah? I... I'll move this thing down and deal with it." Yuan Yuanyuan carried the box and stopped step downstairs.

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

The box that Yuan Yuanyuan moved was the one that someone else gave to him at that time. She carefully counted the things in the box upstairs for an hour, recorded them carefully, and took photos with her mobile phone.

Now she was thinking about putting the box in a hidden place... The box was on the second floor that day. She didn't have time to bring it when she ran down. Unexpectedly, it was spared. Later, she didn't move it when she cleaned up. However, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly remembered that if something happened again, she would probably not have such good luck, so she planned to bury it in the yard.

There are indeed a lot of things in this thing... But how to say it, this thing was not given to Yuan Yuanyuan by others. Even if Yuan Yuanyuan was so jealous, she didn't want to move. Besides, the matter was messy, and she didn't know anything about it now. She used it rashly, and she was still afraid that something would happen.

Although she was indeed jealous, she dreamed of something related to this box twice. And recently... Yuan Yuanyuan rarely dreamed about money. Every time she woke up, Yuan Yuanyuan sat on the bed and was stunned for a long time, covering her face and thinking that I was already so hungry.

Yuan Yuanyuan left the door and walked back after a while. When she came back, she found that Liu An had already sat on the table, with two pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the table, as well as soy sauce and vinegar.

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

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

"...Eat, you're pretty fast. You've wrapped two curtains in an hour? What kind of stuffed dumplings are these?" Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the dumplings strangely and asked.

“Potatoes and green onions.”

...Yuan Yuanyuan's whole body was shocked.

"That, there's nothing else in the kitchen, just four sprouted potatoes, a bundle of green onions, and a little flour." Liu Anduo.

"Then... can't you put a bowl of noodles?" Yuan Yuanyuan's expression was inexplicably painful. "Where did you see the messy things? People eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, but they only eat leeks and egg fillings. How can they have this stuff? So you don't read those messy things in the future. If you are really interested, come and ask me, what about the monsters outside? "

They sat down to eat dumplings, and Yuan Yuanyuan said nothing. Anyway, she could accept any stuffing of dumplings.

While eating dumplings, Liu An suddenly asked her what other customs there are in the Chinese New Year. Yuanyuan casually said something to him. In fact, some of the customs she mentioned are gone now. When she was in her hometown, everyone liked to play with their mobile phones, and the background sound of the Spring Festival Gala was placed in front of her... But Yuanyuan still didn't want a monster to know that humans are such decadent creatures.

Although I don’t have a strong sense of racial pride, I don’t know why it suddenly popped up at this time…

So what she said was something that sounded beautiful, such as setting off fireworks until the early morning, children went to ask for New Year's money, and adults sat together to play mahjong... Liu An kept listening quietly. After listening, he said, "I didn't expect that you are quite familiar with the human world, boss."

Yuan Yuanyuan felt a little guilty after hearing what he said. She felt that she seemed to have said too much, mainly because she didn't expect a monster to be interested in these things, so she said a little more when she was excited.

She was afraid that Liu An would think more. After all, she had a ghost in her heart, so she casually added that she had lived with humans for a while before and changed the topic.

"The monsters who lived for a long time... do they all live in many colorful ways?" Liu An said, "I lived longer than humans and experienced more things than humans. If you have nothing to do, you can go to the human world for a private visit. It feels very interesting. You can know a little about everything."

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

“Not all?”

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

"Then boss, you..."

"Don't use me as an example, I'm not normal." Yuan Yuanyuan waved her hand a little awkwardly. Just as she waved her hand, a huge firework suddenly soared into the sky from behind, and exploded behind her.

Yuan Yuanyuan and Liu An both looked out the window at the same time. There was a huge monster like cornflower exploded in the sky, occupying a full sky.

The fireworks were so big that Yuan Yuanyuan had to walk to the window to see them. She had never seen such a large fireworks before, and I don’t know whose house released them.

In fact, at this time, I should say who is so brave and dares to set off fireworks on the street. However, Yuan Yuanyuan forgot about this one at once. The main reason is that she rarely sees these blue and purple fireworks, and she never remembers this one at once.

"What is this?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked.

"This is from the Zhuo family." Liu Andao.

"...what, what, what?" Yuan Yuanyuan turned her head and asked.

"The fireworks of the Zhuo family, their family's hundred ghosts' night walk is about to gather people." Liu An said, "Do you want to go out and take a look?"

"..." Before Yuan Yuanyuan could ask who the Zhuo family was, why you know that you have only been here for a few months and have been staying for two years, a floating float suddenly appeared in the sky. The car was very huge and looked like a moving little house.

The moon was behind it, with a small silver light vaguely left. The ones holding the car were four half-man and half-horse monsters. They had snow-white horses, and their upper bodies were humans, wearing lilac ancient clothes, and their jewelry shone under the moon.

The car is made of wooden, with patterns carved on the windows and gauze curtains hanging on them, and jade tassels hanging on the four corners of the car.

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

Yuan Yuanyuan watched the carriage that seemed to appear in a dream flashing through the sky, like the immortal car in mythology. When this antique car flew over the city with countless neon lights, she even felt a dreamy illusion.

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

She was a very upright young man with a hairpin on her head. She swung past her in front of her, leaving only a silhouette in her memory.

Countless red and black lights soared into the sky and gathered in all directions towards the sky. In a short while, it became a blockade of the sky.

This thick black and red light was behind the purple car, as if a gush of smoke had rolled in, disappearing into the sky with it.
