Probably because Wei Yan's tone was too cold, the boy in the bellyband flinched obviously, and then the monster with green face and fangs next to him widened his eyes like copper bells, and barked at Wei Yan.

It's a pity that its size is really too small - the little boy probably looks no more than three years old, and the little monster is about the same size, even with its blue skin, red hair like flames, sharp horns on the head, and Sharp teeth will only give people a vicious feeling.

At least Wei Yan thinks so.

But Xie Bo didn't think so—he only saw Wei Yan talking to a cloud of air, and he looked hard with his eyes, both of which were above the level of 5.0 on the E-scale, and only saw some dead branches and leaves and Stone, did not see any living things.

Suddenly, the scene of Wei Yan's conversation with the teddy bear in the evening came to his mind: "Yanyan, who are you talking to?"

Wei Yan was surprised: "What did you call me just now?"

Xie Bai: "Yanyan, I think we are already friends, so it would be too unfamiliar to call us by first and last names."

Wei Yan: Since when are we friends?

Thinking that Xie Bai really fits his aesthetics, what he said became: "I am a boy anyway, calling 'Yanyan' is too weak, and I also call my sister 'Yanyan'."

Xie Bo quickly said: "Is it okay to call it 'Ayan'?"

Wei Yan met the other party's expectant gaze, and didn't understand why the other party was so obsessed with a familiar title. In their opinion, shouldn't it be a chance encounter, and they will part ways after tomorrow, maybe they will never see each other again in this lifetime?

However, thinking that he really intends to use Xie Bai to find a "high-quality" customer base, he nodded and said, "Yes."

After getting the consent, Xie Bo suddenly became more emotional: "Then Ayan, what are you busy with? Why don't we talk about it after the New Year's Eve dinner? The food is getting cold, and I can help you then."

Wei Yan noticed that when Xie Bo uttered the words "New Year's Eve Dinner", whether it was the nervous boy in the bellyband or the vicious and alert little monster, they all showed the same salivation, especially the little boy, who bowed his head in silence. His slightly protruding fat belly under that red apron.

Wei Yan: "I'm busy, entertaining uninvited guests."

Hearing what Wei Yan said, the little boy in the bellyband became anxious. He pointed to his stomach, then pointed to the direction of the main gate of Wei's house, and made a gesture of smelling: Although we came here by smelling, it was you First 'seduce' us, how can you blame us?

Xie Bo: "An uninvited guest?" His Adam's apple rolled, "Didn't you mean it's right here?" His face was calm, but his eyes were observing privately, except for It was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Seeing Xie Bai's self-possessed appearance, Wei Yan looked very much like all curious young people with insufficient mental capacity: "Want to see it?"

Xie Bo bent down and looked at Wei Yan with excitement: "Is it okay?"

Wei Yan saw the other party approaching suddenly. It was obviously a dark night, but probably because of the shining eyes of the other party, he could even see the slightly trembling eyelashes of the other party clearly. Wrap him up.This made him tilt his head uncomfortably: "If you open it, you have to keep it on for at least an hour. During this hour, you are likely to see some terrible things?" Recovery, still can't be retracted freely.

The more Wei Yan said so, the more curious Xie Bai became. If Wei Yan had only said to take a look, he would have suspected that the other party was bluffing. With two hours, right?

Moreover, he is indeed quite curious about these mysterious and mysterious existences. There are really strange powers and chaotic gods in this world, so...

No matter what Xie Bai thinks in his heart, his face is genuinely sincere and firm: "I'm not afraid of anything. With you here, how can you protect me a little bit?"

Wei Yan was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent for a while, and said, "Okay then, you close your eyes first."

Xie Bai couldn't wait to close his eyes, but his body was tense, to prevent him from withdrawing quickly in case of any emergencies, and he wondered if it was the "extras" the other party was looking for to cooperate with or the phantom projection or something like that ?

As soon as this thought slipped through his mind, he felt his eyelids heat up, and was about to step back when he heard Wei Yan's voice say: "Okay."

Xie Bai opened his eyes, and immediately looked at the direction Wei Yan was facing just now, and as expected, he saw a man and a beast in the originally empty place.

At this moment, the little boy and the little beast were already feasting on a plate of big dishes - Wei Yan took a closer look and found that they were two of the New Year's Eve dinners at their family's tonight.There seemed to be a faint exclamation in the house: "It's strange, why does this braised hoofed pork suddenly have no taste?"

Wei Yan didn't have time to tell the two of them not to ask for it, but Xie Bai ran over, making a gesture to hug the kid in the bellyband: "It's such a cold day, kid, why are you wearing so little!"

But he didn't want to reach out to fish it, but he staggered and found nothing.

"What, what's going on?" Xie Bai quickly stood still and looked back.

As early as when Xie Bo rushed over, the little boy in the bellyband and the little monster showed frightened expressions, and subconsciously jumped into the air. The little monster, who was only as tall as a little boy just now, transformed into a giant beast over two meters tall, and took Xiaotong Guard behind.

However, the monster didn't open its mouth to threaten Wei Yan like it did, it just growled in a low voice, as if it was threatened.

Weird, Xie Bo is just an ordinary person, what threat can he pose?

Wei Yan was puzzled and noticed at the same time that although the size of this little monster had grown bigger, its figure had become hazy and blurred. If it was a vivid three-dimensional shape when it was small, now it looks more like a monster. A flat line drawing drawn with a pen on paper.

Xie Bai's eyes were full of shock: "Wow - what kind of magical existence is this?"

Wei Yan pointed to the little boy in the bellyband: "This is 'Nian'," and pointed to the flattened monster, "This is 'Xi'."

In the past, New Year's Eve contained the meaning of "New Year's Eve coming". After arriving, Xie was wiped out, but in fact, the two of them lived together and had a very good relationship.In addition, compared to the behemoth Xie in its heyday, the size of the three-inch Nian is too easy for people to ignore. Therefore, in many legends, the New Year's Eve is directly simplified into the image of a Nian beast.

However, these are all Wei Yan saw in previous letters, and this is the first time that he has actually come into contact with Nian and Xi.

In fact, the Nian and Xi in this world rarely come out because the taste of the new year is fading now, but this time, because Wei Yan painted a charm on the portrait of Qin Qiong Yuchi Gong's door god, aura and a ray of energy naturally gathered. The breath of blessing made the two little ones come here "in search of taste".

※※※

Following Wei Yan to see the legendary "Nian" and "Xi", Xie Bai followed Wei Yan back to eat the New Year's Eve dinner contentedly, but when he turned around, he was taken aback - it was dark and quiet before, only occasionally there would be fireworks The village with the sound of firecrackers turned green at some point.If you take a closer look, you can see that there are looming "people" in those green light clusters.

"They are all old people and ancestors from various households."

Xie Bai seemed to have noticed his gaze, and saw a thin old man with a shrunken smile, with a mouth showing most of his missing teeth. He tried not to look at the disappearing lower body of the other party: " Are all of them dead?"

Wei Yan: "Of course, as I said before, you can see this for an hour after you 'open your eyes'. If you can't bear it, you probably have to close your eyes."

Xie Bo took a deep breath: "Why can't I bear it!" While speaking, he saw two children in the courtyard next door holding "fairy stick" fireworks in their hands, surrounded by five or six Children of all ages.Xie Bo was wondering why only those two children could play, when he saw a naughty child holding the "fairy wand" in his hand and drawing circles, without paying attention, he went directly to the eyes of a watching child!

Before Xie Bo could say "Caution", he saw the onlookers turn into a wisp of green smoke, and then appeared in another direction in the blink of an eye.

Xie Bo hurriedly shut up, and after careful observation, he saw the clues—the hairstyles and clothes of the children onlookers were different—some were wearing long gowns and jackets, some were wearing short-sleeved shorts, and some were wearing buns , some with big braids, and some with money rattails...

"It is said that their family can be traced back hundreds of years. I heard that there is still a family tree, but it fell down decades ago." Wei Yan said old-fashionedly, "What you saw probably means that their family was in war or famine. age or a child who died in infancy."

Xie Bai frowned slightly: "Have the souls of these children stayed here all this time?"

Wei Yan glanced at him, wondering if it was because the nights in the countryside were not as bright as the lights in the city, Xie Bai's face also had a bit of charm in this dark night: "Of course not, people have yang energy , ghosts have yin qi, non-special physique staying together will affect living people, plus ghosts will also be hurt by yang qi, so generally except for the first seven Huihun, Zhongyuan Festival and when the family sends ancestors , none of them will appear."

Xie Bai looked at the balls of light floating on every house in Zishu Village, and the chill from seeing so many ghosts for the first time subsided a little: "You mean, the first seven of them Will they come back too? Is that the person who can only see the first seven people who come back after helping me 'open my eyes' like you?"

Wei Yan gave a "hmm" and added: "But if you have a deep relationship with the other party, such as a blood relative with a very good relationship, you can feel it even if you don't 'open your eyes'. This is why relatives at home The reason why family members occasionally dream about fragments of loved ones after death."

He thought that Xie Bo would shout wonders after he finished speaking, but there was only an almost inaudible whisper that drifted away with the night wind: "Then why, I haven't been able to dream?"

The author has something to say: About the first seven souls, it’s really a bit mysterious. When Shazi was only a few years old, the woman of the village family died. She was still in her prime when she died. It is said that she was seriously ill after being abused by her husband. Or how dead.

He was buried in the bamboo forest behind Shasha's old house.Because Shazi was afraid, he didn't join in the fun like other children, but after two or three days, Shazi dreamed of that woman in his dreams at night.

At the beginning of the dream, Sand was looking for mushrooms in the bamboo forest, and somehow he came to the grave, and then the earthen grave, which was supposed to be tightly built, turned into a soil-packed room with wooden windows and fences. The dead woman The front of the face expressionlessly asked the sand to open this fence for her to let her out...

Shazi still doesn't know why she has such a dream, obviously Shazi basically has nothing to do with her when she was alive.But fortunately, after having that dream, it didn't continue, and now Shazi even forgot what the other person looked like.

Today is the Shazi family reunion, and then Dad will be the chef. It is said that he has learned a lot of dishes on Douyin... emmm, I can only look forward to it.

So Shazi hastened to release today's update first, because there is probably no time to code tonight.

The little fairies should basically be on vacation, right?
