Plane Convenience Store

"Brother! Are we really going back?"

Although he didn't want to be separated from his brother, An Xiaocong was still a little timid when it came time to go out.

She is a girl, and she is timid by nature, and that is the Nian Beast. When she and her brother were disobedient, it was a monster that her mother used to scare them. Who would not be afraid of such a monster?

Not only An Xiaocong, those brave hunters in the village, when they mentioned Nian Beast, their teeth were shaking!

"Of course I want to go back." I made up my mind at first, but when my sister said, An Dacong began to hesitate again: "Xiao Cong, why don't you stay here, and I will take you back when the Nian Beast is gone." ?”

When he said this, An Dacong took off the bag he had been carrying on his shoulder.

As soon as the Nian beast appears, it will wreak havoc throughout the cold winter, so when going out to escape, the villagers pack up the food at home and take as much as they can.

An Dacong and An Xiaocong are two small children, but they also brought a lot of things, except for the donkey and the rhubarb, he and his sister carried dry food that was easy to carry.

If he keeps his sister here...he wants to give all the rations to her.

After he went back, he could still eat the few bags carried by the donkey. What they carried with them should be enough to last until his sister waited for him.

If he can come back alive.

An Xiaocong is a smart child, seeing An Dacong like this, she quickly shook her head and said: "Brother, I won't stay anymore, I want to go back, don't leave me behind!"

An Xiaocong tugged at An Dacong's sleeve tightly, causing An Dacong to give up the plan.

Because, after his parents left, he couldn't bear to have his sister separated from him.

Determined to go back together, An Dacong planned to make the last effort.

He put the rations on the table for his younger sister to look after, and went to the shelf to earn money twice. Finally, he took two fruit knives to the cash register and said, "Shopkeeper, I want these two knives. How much do you want?" ?”

"Just look at it, this is for peeling fruit, how much is it worth?"

Glancing at An Dacong, Lu Lu felt that the child must not have much money, so he made a fool of himself.

"Okay, can you read these?"

An Dacong had never seen much of the world, and remembering that hunters had long knives, he naturally thought that Lu Lu was telling the truth.

So he took out a dozen big money from his body and gave it to Lu Lu. Seeing that Lu Lu took it, he thought that the fruit knife was really only worth the money. This made him feel relieved, but he was even more dissatisfied.

I heard that the beast was hundreds of feet tall, so what effect can such a short knife do?

I'm afraid, before he stabbed the Nian beast, he would be trampled into a pulp by its hoof.

An Dacong's brows were a bit dark, and when he thought of the Nian beast that killed his parents, he hated it to the bone, wishing he could swallow it alive.

But he is also a smart boy, knowing that rushing up rashly will only cost his life in vain, so he said to Lu Lu with some reluctance: "Shopkeeper, do you have bigger and sharper knives here?"

"It's better to have poison on it, and the kind that can see blood seal the throat!"

An Dacong's abrupt words startled Lu Lu. He looked up and saw that the boy's face was full of hatred.

Lu Lu is not surprised, if he really has such a knife now, the boy will get it at any cost, and then use it to kill his enemies with his own hands.

The boy brought his younger sister with him when he came, and based on his love for his younger sister, Lu Lu felt that the boy's heart must not be bad, but he had some difficulties.

If possible, he really wanted to help him, but this is a convenience store, how could there be such a murder weapon?

So, he said, "Sorry, the fruit knife is the biggest knife in the convenience store. The knives here are controlled, so if you need a big knife, I really can't do it."

"If you can, can you tell me why you want such a knife?"

"Nian Beast! This beast killed my parents! I must kill this beast and avenge my parents!"

"Sorry to ask about your sadness."

Lu Lu apologized, and couldn't help but feel a little guilt on his face.

However, he thought about the word "Nian Beast", no matter how he heard it, he was familiar with it.

It took him a while before he realized, isn't the Nian Beast the monster in folklore that would go down the mountain to eat people before the New Year, afraid of red and firecrackers?

The term "Nian" is also said to be related to the Nian beast.

On this day, people put up Spring Festival couplets and set off firecrackers, just to scare away "Nian", so that the Nian beast will not break into the house and eat people.

An Dacong's narration gave Lu Lu some guesswork, but first he had to make sure whether the Nian beast he was talking about was the 'Nian' in his legend.

So, Lu Lu said: "I seem to have heard of monsters like the Nian Beast. But I'm not sure, take a look, is this the Nian Beast from your place?"

He used his notebook to search for some pictures of Nian Beast, and showed them to An Dacong one by one.

An Dacong gritted his teeth while watching.

He has never seen the Nian Beast, because most of the people who saw the Nian Beast died.

But he can be sure that if he can see the Nian Beast, it must look like the one in the picture, and it is almost the same!

After learning the news of his parents' death, he recalled over and over again the Nian beast mentioned by Hang Shang before.

The people that Nian Beast has harmed, the appearance of Nian Beast...he remembers them all clearly.

Four horns on the head, blue-faced fangs... He remembered correctly, according to the rumors, that animal looked like this!

"Yes, it is the Nian Beast!"

An Dacong cursed bitterly, and quickly reacted.

The person in front of him has a painting of Nian Beast, does he know how to deal with Nian Beast, even if there is a trace, it is better than nothing.

So, he suddenly plopped down on his knees and begged, "Boy and Nian Beast have a deep blood feud for killing father and mother! I wish I could skin this beast right away! If you have a way to deal with this beast, please tell the boy, and the boy is willing." I spent my whole life slaughtering this beast to avenge my parents under the nine springs! I kowtow to you here, kid!"

An Dacong kowtowed as soon as he said it, and hit his head hard on the ground as soon as he finished speaking.

Seeing his posture, Lu Lu dared not let him really hit it.

The floor of this tile is not soft, so a bump like this will not hurt your head.

Thanks to his agility after practicing magic, he was able to stop An Dacong from hitting the tiles in time.

Lu Lu wanted to pull An Dacong up from the ground, but the child was stubborn. Lu Lu pulled him up, and when he was not paying attention, he knelt down again. If Lu Lu didn't tell him, he would just kneel here The posture of falling dead.

"Children nowadays, why are you in such a hurry." Lu Lu couldn't laugh or cry: "Little friend, don't kneel anymore, I was going to tell you, how dare I tell you when you kneel like this?"

Lu Lu made it very clear, and he planned to talk about his feelings even if he didn't kneel down.

Lu Lu's words made An Dacong blush a little, but he didn't regret kneeling so much, and he could get the means to deal with Nian Beast, so what if he kneeled in vain.

As long as he could kill that beast, avenge his parents, and let him kneel for the rest of his life, he would be happy!

An Dacong responded with Lu Lu's promise.

Seeing Lu Lu speak, he pricked up his ears and took his words to heart.

"I don't know about the situation in your place. Let me tell you in advance that we have never had Nian Beast here. To us, Nian Beast is just a myth."

Even though he said so, Lu Lu couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

There are even ghosts in his world. Could it be that in ancient times, there were actually Nian beasts here, but they were killed, so he thought it was just a folklore?

The ugly words come first, and seeing An Dacong express his understanding, Lu Lu continued: "I heard a story about a way to deal with the Nian beast. I heard that the Nian beast is afraid of red, and also afraid of the crackling sound of bamboo when it is ignited. If this is true, you might as well try to wear red clothes, hang red cloth, and keep burning bamboos, so that you can probably scare the Nian beast."

"Just use bamboo and red clothes, is that okay?"

The method is so simple that An Dacong can't believe it.

However, it is better to have a method than no method. He silently kept the method Lu Lu said in his heart, and tried it when he was ready to go back...

He glanced at his sister, and silently swallowed the plan back.

If Nian Beast doesn't look for their village this time, he should not go to Nian Beast recklessly.

He had to raise his younger sister and find her a husband's family.When his younger sister is married, he will use the shopkeeper's method to meet the Nian Beast.

When he is older, he will surely know other ways.He didn't believe that he couldn't believe that there was no method that couldn't cure that beast!

Although An Dacong had no plans to challenge the Nian Beast one-on-one right now, he had to prepare something to defend against the Nian Beast.

Nian is afraid of bamboo and red, both of which are hard to find.

There is no bamboo near their village, so there is no need to think about this one for the time being.

As for red, new linen clothes are expensive, let alone dyed clothes.

Their village is full of ordinary people, and there are very few people who specially wear this kind of dyed clothes.

He thought about it for a long time, and the only red color he could think of besides pig's blood was the red band on his sister's head!

There is only one hair rope, which can be used as a fart!

An Dacong was very annoyed, seeing his appearance, Lu Lu knew why.

So, he took out the fireworks and firecrackers he bought before and said: "This is firecrackers. They were set off during our festivals. The sound is very loud. What the Nian Beast is afraid of is the sound of bamboo burning. I don't know if it will be useful." , you take it for self-defense first, if you encounter it, maybe you can scare away the Nian beast."

Of course, Lu Lu didn't know whether the Nian beasts in the two planes were the same, so he told An Dacong not to take the initiative to find the Nian beast to kill him unless it was absolutely necessary.

An Dacong is so young, he should be cowarded when it's time to be cowardly, no matter how terrifying the Nian beast is, it doesn't take a child to deal with it.

An Dacong thanked the shopkeeper for his kindness, picked up the pile of firecrackers and put them in the bag.

Afraid that he would not know how to use it, Lu Lu explained how to use it in detail, and gave him a lighter to light it up.

After An Dacong mastered how to use it, Lu Lu took out another pile of red cardboard to An Dacong.

He felt that red cardboard might work just as well.
