Plane Convenience Store

Watching the lizard man leave with a cart of mineral water, Lu Lu closed the shop with a heavy heart and went to bed early to rest.

Then, early the next morning, he returned home and stayed at home until the end of New Year's Eve. He followed his parents and walked a few relatives before returning to the convenience store and taking down the closed sign.

Strange to say, when he left, he hung the sign outside the door, but no one came to the store during the few days he left.

After thinking about it, Lu Lu thought it might be the reason for the brand.

It seems that as long as the sign is hung on the door, no matter where it is hung, it can prevent guests from coming.

At night, the convenience store is empty.

Lu Lu stayed in the shop alone, but it was a bit empty.

Before leaving in the morning, he had a meal at home.

What I make at home is naturally the most to my liking, and my mother worried that he would be hungry when he was in the car, so he let him eat a lot.

Because he ate well in the morning, he was still only five points hungry until noon.

So in the car, he just ordered a lunch box and made up for it. Now at night, he couldn't help feeling hungry again.

Would you like a box lunch?

He turned on the phone, only looked at it before putting it down again.

The braised chicken was too greasy, and the ones he liked were not open.

After staying at home for a few days, the healthy and stomach-nourishing diet has caught his mouth, making him not want to just let it go.

Since he couldn't find what he wanted to eat, he simply stopped tossing around and took a few breads to fill his stomach at random, counting it as a meal.

Compared with the three delicacies dumplings, small glutinous rice balls and dry bread he ate these days, they tasted like wax.

Especially compared to fried rice cakes, cold rice cakes are sliced ​​into thin slices, rolled and fried in a pan, and a hot ball of rice cakes is freshly baked.

Dip it in sugar and bite it off. The long silk thread stretches continuously like a year. When the rice cake thread is finally torn off, the mouth-like rice cake still has a unique taste of broken roots.

Thinking about the rice cakes dipped in sugar, Lu Lu suddenly felt that the few breads he ate were for nothing.

Although his stomach was already full, his tongue could not be fooled by a few pieces of bread anyway.

But what can I do?If you're not at home, you don't have such conditions.

Since he couldn't eat fried rice cakes, Lu Lu, who had eaten a few sweet breads, didn't want to eat sweets.

In order to satisfy his hungry tongue, he simply went to the shelf to pick some chicken feet with pickled peppers to eat.

After eating, his tongue still reacted, so he took a few more packs of spicy strips.

Stuffing all these things into his stomach, his tongue was already numb from the heat.

If it's spicy, you won't want to eat it. Lu Lu filled a glass of water contentedly, and then lay down on the counter to watch the New Year's show.

"Boom—boom—boom—"

"Hush-hush-"

Outside the convenience store, one after another fireworks were set off in the night sky.

And on the ground, strings of red firecrackers not to be outdone made deafening noises, proclaiming to the world that they had been here.

Listening to the lively sound of cannons outside, Lu Lu didn't feel upset, but felt at ease in the busy city.

Recently, Huaguo has become more and more strict about fireworks and firecrackers, and people who are accustomed to modernization have less and less affection for Nian.

If it weren't for holidays and the edification from childhood to adulthood, it is really unknown how many modern people would take "year" seriously.

Because many people said that fireworks and firecrackers are very disturbing, and setting them off in a crowded city is indeed a safety hazard.

This year, relevant laws were officially introduced in certain large cities.

All in all, fireworks and firecrackers will no longer be allowed in these big cities in the future, even for the New Year.

With the advancement of civilization, human beings no longer need this way to celebrate their joy.

But fortunately, Lulu is in a small second-tier city, neither too big nor too small.

So although there are restrictions, during the few days of the Chinese New Year, everyone can still set off all the fireworks and firecrackers to their heart's content.

Just like him, he brought a lot back to the convenience store today.

Knowing that he opened a store, his parents asked him to buy more fireworks and firecrackers, so that the convenience store can also enjoy the joy of the New Year, so that the business in the coming year will be booming.

Both parents are people who are somewhat nostalgic for tradition, and Lu Lu does not want to let down their instructions.

Although he felt that the business was just like that, he still held some unrealistic expectations and lit a firecracker outside the door.

After clicking on this hanging, he looked at the red paper floating all over the street and the fireworks in the sky of "I'll come on stage after you sing", and was moved for the first time that this is the taste of the new year.

After lighting the firecrackers, Lu Lu surprisingly didn't want to move the rest.

After closing the door and returning to the store, he rubbed his frozen red hands, feeling a little regretful.

If he had known that he was not interested, he would not have bought so many firecrackers.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world, so he can only think of remedial measures, such as giving these to neighbors or children tomorrow, and let them take them home to play.

"Boom, rumble, rumble——"

"Hello, welcome!"

Along with the roaring sound outside the store, the convenience store also ushered in the first of the new year, no, it was the first pair of customers - a pair of brothers and sisters in ancient costumes.

"Brother, where is this place?" The younger sister tugged at her brother's sleeve, looking a little uneasy.

"Don't be afraid, there is a brother."

Although he said it with certainty, but looking at his slightly trembling fists, it showed that this elder brother was not as bold as he said.

After practicing magic for a while, Lu Lu's mental power became more and more sharp.

There is a long distance between the cash register and the door, but the performance of the brother and sister can be clearly seen.

Every movement of them, even every micro-expression is clear.

At the beginning of the new year, the mental power gave Lu Lu a surprise.

He immediately realized that this ability can be used in painting, and he can grasp the slight changes in expression. It seems that he will become a god in the painting world just around the corner.

Lu Lu was a little fanciful, but suddenly came to a strange place, both brothers and sisters acted very panicked.

Considering the reason not to frighten the children, Lu Lu put down his spiritual power for the time being, showed a kind expression, and said to the two of them: "Don't worry, the big brother is not a bad person. This is a seller. Shop, if you want anything, just tell Big Brother, and I will help you find it."

Seeing that the two children still did not relax their vigilance, Lu Lu secretly praised the two children for their vigilance, and explained the existence of the convenience store in detail.

After the two children found the information in their minds, they looked at each other and believed what Lu Lu said.

However, the siblings did not rush to browse the shelves, but went to the table and chair area and sat down, leaning shoulder to shoulder, and began to whisper.

"Brother, I'm afraid...how about we stay here tonight." My younger sister An Xiaocong said fearfully.

"Stay here...you must be able to escape the Nian Beast, right?" An Dacong thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, we can't stay here forever, in case we bump into the Nian Beast when we go out, it's still the same .”

"I think it's better to be with everyone, it's safer."

An Dacong made a decision, An Xiaocong could only nod silently.

Their parents have been eaten by the Nian Beast, and now she only has an older brother. Even if she wants to stay in the store, what's the point of not having an older brother?

Not long ago, An Xiaocong's parents went to a neighboring village to sell mountain products, and let An Dacong and An Xiaocong's two children look after the house.

Accompanying them is the family dog ​​named Lao Huang.

In this simple and honest village, every household is very familiar with each other, so there is Lao Huang watching over them. The couple are very relieved to keep their children at home, so they pick up their poles and rush to the neighboring villages to sell goods.

Who knows, after this time, the two never came back.

When they went, the neighboring village happened to be hit by a year of animal disasters, and the couple, together with the people in that village, did not escape either.

Whenever the mountain is closed by heavy snow, the Nian beast will go down the mountain to look for food if it can't find anything to eat.

Nian Beast is a hundred-foot-long monster, but its whereabouts are quite strange. No one knows where it came from and where it will end up.

But one thing is certain, that is, once you meet the Nian Beast, everyone in a village will be eaten by it, without any accidents.

Unless...unless Nian Beast is full one day.

But this is an impossible thing.

Because unless the winter is over, the Nian Beast will continue to forage throughout the winter.

Once it eats, it becomes a village, and it will slowly walk around the village along the way. It will not return to the deep forest with a full stomach until the winter is over, and go to places that no one knows.

The Nian beast is undoubtedly a disaster, but since ancient times, people have tried various methods but failed to get rid of it, and can only watch it do evil with hatred.

The Nian Beast has many evils, and the rumors about it are all from the mouths of some survivors.

It is not easy to escape from the mouth of the Nian Beast, but when a copper coin is thrown on the ground, it will stand up. Occasionally there are survivors, which is also God's mercy to people.

With the dictation of these survivors, people have more and more impressions of Nian Beast.

For example, Nian Beast likes to bite its head, and Nian Beast likes to go back and forth after clearing the village, so as to tease the survivors who survived by chance.

These experiences have played a lot of uses, and it has saved some people's lives.

It's a pity that until now, people still haven't found a way to deal with it. They can only flee with the village when they find it haunting, maybe they can escape their lives.

The villages like An Xiaocong and An Dacong's brother and sister got the news and are preparing to flee with the whole village.

In ancient times, before automobiles and telephones, news spread very slowly.

This time, there were no survivors in the village attacked by the Nian beast.

If An Xiaocong and An Xiaocong's parents didn't come back for a long time and dragged their acquainted uncle to the neighboring village to find them, they wouldn't have found out that the neighboring village was attacked by the Nian Beast.

Every year, it is inevitable that the Nian beast will attack the village.

The village where the brothers and sisters live is not considered remote, so traveling businessmen often come here to rest and mention the Nian Beast when talking about the world.

Thanks to these businessmen, the brothers and sisters learned a lot about Nian Beast, but they never imagined that this year's Nian Beast disaster would be hit by their family.
