walk alone.

Although everyone's life is not very easy, the Chinese people's tradition of attaching importance to the New Year has long been ingrained, and this big day still needs to be celebrated.When I went shopping in the county before, everyone was only focused on buying ingredients, bedding, clothes and daily necessities, but forgot the Spring Festival couplets and firecrackers that are indispensable during the Chinese New Year.Fortunately, not long ago, Zhaduner in the village married his wife, and Mrs. Chen went to the county town to buy a lot of red paper for the convenience of making red envelopes, and there are still a lot left.Liu Qingquan has been doing calligraphy since elementary school, and Mr. Chen's house has always kept brushes and ink.In this way, although it looked a bit crude, the familiar festive couplets were pasted on the door frame, which raised everyone's mood a lot.

On New Year's Eve, without the company of the lively singing and laughter of the Spring Festival Gala, without the delicious New Year's Eve dinner, and even without the lights as bright as day, everyone felt a little desolate and at a loss for a while.But looking at the safe and sound relatives around them, everyone felt a little bit of comfort in their hearts. Anyway, they are finally reunited as a family, right?

"Come here, big pork and cabbage dumplings with thin skin and lots of stuffing are here. Grandma Chen, you two, stop busy and come over to eat quickly. Today is New Year's Eve. Our family should have a good reunion dinner... Seeing Yu Hui coaxing old lady Chen into a happy smile, although Qin Bin couldn't say nice things to make the old man happy, he expressed his filial piety with actions - he put the big fat dumplings smoked with bean paste in the old lady's mouth. In the bowl, Mrs. Li was so happy that she could not close her mouth from ear to ear, and kept shouting obediently.

"Don't be sticky, grandpa and grandson, hurry up and eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold." Mrs. Chen saw Sister Li's loving appearance towards Qin Bin, if she hadn't heard Ah Qing tell the truth about the grandpa and grandson before. She probably wouldn't have noticed that these two were not related by blood!Looking at the warmth and intimacy between them, no matter how you look at it, they are relatives, grandparents and grandchildren, right?But as the saying goes, it is better to be kind than to be kind, and Sister Li loves Binbin so much, Binbin can't be too filial to her.

"Hey, do you think we are having a candlelight dinner? Actually, thinking about it, it's pretty good." Yu Hui glanced at the red candles on the dining table with a faint flame, and teased heartlessly.

"It's really similar. I didn't expect our first candlelight dinner to be under such circumstances, haha..." Liu Qingquan ate the delicious dumplings, and laughed heartlessly.The power has been cut off for such a long time. Apart from some discomfort at the beginning, after so long, everyone has actually gotten used to life without lights, TVs, computers, and mobile phones. All the kerosene lamps were pulled out, just to save some candles, just in case they are needed.

"Actually, power outages are not bad. We don't watch TV at night, and you kids don't stay up late to play games online. After the power outage, we go to bed early and get up early every day. Look, don't we look much better than before? "The old lady Chen said with relief.These old people are used to living a hard life. Now that the power goes out for a while, although they feel a little uncomfortable at first, for them, this kind of life is not so difficult to accept.But these young people are different. They all grew up in a honeypot. Before, Mrs. Chen and the three old people were worried that the children would not adapt well, but they were relieved that the three children in their family were very sensible and obedient. Although there was a lot of complaints, nothing big happened after all.

Mr. Chen's family of three old, three young and six people gathered around the small dining table and talked happily under the dim candlelight. Although the cold wind was still raging outside and the snow was falling thousands of miles away, the small restaurant was as cozy and warm as ever. It is unbearably nostalgic.

After eating a simple but delicious New Year's Eve dinner, the family simply stayed in the warm restaurant and continued to chat about the trivial things around them, their respective New Year's wishes, and everyone's expectations for the future.In this way, you talked to each other until after nine o'clock in the evening. The people who were used to going to bed early and getting up early couldn't bear the sleepiness. They said good night to each other contentedly and went back to their rooms to rest.

Although he likes the happy and warm atmosphere of being with his family, Qin Bin always feels a little uneasy when he thinks of Chihuo staying alone in the depths of the cave.After returning to the bedroom, Qin Bin didn't care about practicing in the advanced space. After setting up a phantom formation and a warning formation in the room, he stepped on the flying sword and flew towards the top of the back mountain.

Qin Bin didn't know if it was his delusion, he always felt that today's Chi Huo seemed to be a little sleepy, floating weakly on the lake of fire, and he didn't seem to be as energetic as before.Although he didn't know the reason, Qin Bin still talked to Chi Huo who hadn't responded to his voice transmission as usual.

"Tonight is the New Year's Eve in this world, and it is the day of family reunion. To this strange world, I am afraid that only you can be regarded as my relative. Chi Huo, you have to be good, maybe one day I will be able to ascend Chengxian, I will take you back to the Xianlin Continent to have a look. Don’t you like the feast of immortal beasts at Yin’s Restaurant in Xiancheng? Then I will not restrict you, and let you eat as much as you want..." Qin Bin sat cross-legged On the edge of the platform, with his chin propped on his hands, he stared blankly at the lake of fire, chatting with the big white egg in the lake of fire.

"I want to eat a whole roast spirit pig, and a roast spirit sheep!"

Qin Bin thought that he was going to talk to himself again that night, but he didn't expect to hear a familiar young voice in his ears. Qin Bin was slightly startled, and looked down the platform excitedly. It’s no different from before, it’s still white and tender, round and round, but the red fire that was floating on the lake just now seems to be on a stimulant, jumping up and down in the “lake water” like a carp jumping. "Chi Huo, is that you? Were you talking just now?"

"Master is so stupid, aren't you old and dizzy?" Although Chi Huo can perceive the outside world, he has always been hazy, so he doesn't have a clear understanding of Qin Bin's situation at this time.In its impression, the lifespan of human beings has never been long. Presumably after so many years, its owner is already gray-haired and old, right?Just listening to the master's voice, it looks like it doesn't look like it. This is one of the important reasons why Chi Huo couldn't help but respond to Qin Bin in the end.Chi Huo, who has died once, has already tasted the fear of death. Although it is somewhat attached to the master who has nurtured it, it does not have the courage to die for the master again. The master's kindness to it.But these days, seeing the owner who always ignores it and loathes it comes to talk to it every day, Chi Huo, who had made up his mind to part ways with the owner before, couldn't help hesitating. Gradually, he got used to the gentle side of the owner. It began to subconsciously wait for the owner's company on time every day.

"Hehe, fine, not to mention a whole roasted spirit pig and roasted spirit sheep, no matter how many delicacies there are, the master will buy them for you." Qin Bin said happily, Luo said with some excitement in his voice.

"Really? Master can't just leave me behind like before, and sneak away!" Chi Huo's tone showed obvious distrust, there was no way, Qin Bin had a bad criminal record.

"No, I will never abandon you again." Qin Bin looked shy, the so-called karma reincarnation, retribution is not good, is he the one talking about? "Chi Huo, when will you break out of your shell again? Do you need my guardian?"

"It's probably only a few days, but the spiritual energy here is thin, and I'm afraid it will be in vain." Chi Huo felt a little strange. It took a lot of pains for the master to find such a place with a lack of spiritual energy in the Xianlin Continent. I don't know if there is no It is well-known as the guardian of the undead bird, and its owner was besieged by people and forced to such a place.Of course, except for the lack of spiritual energy, it is quite satisfied with this place. It seems that the owner is quite caring, and he did not forget to take care of its feelings when he fled, Chi Huo thought a little proudly.

"Aura is not enough," Qin Bin felt a little headache, he couldn't take this mountain into Xumi space, could he?Although it is not impossible with his ability, there are still thousands of villagers living at the foot of the mountain. If he acts rashly, the peaceful life of the villagers in Zaojiao Village may be far away.Qin Bin, who has learned a lesson in his previous life, is very concerned about accumulating merits and virtues in this life. He will not do random killing of innocent people, otherwise, he will probably be struck to death by lightning again like in his previous life. "Then let me help you find a place with plenty of aura, but without the hot environment you like, can I?" Qin Bin asked with luck.

"No, I'm reborn from Nirvana this time. Both blazing fire and spiritual energy are indispensable, otherwise I may fail halfway." The Phoenix family, which is praised by humans as "the undead bird", is actually not as popular as humans think. God loves.If they have the ability against the sky, they must pay an equal price.According to the records it was born with, in fact, there are very few members of the Phoenix family who have truly succeeded in nirvana. Even if they succeed by luck, they have paid a high price, and it is not as easy as the outside rumors.

"That's it, let me think about it first. I'll go first, Chi Huo, if you have anything to do, you must send me a voice transmission." Although Qin Bin is used to the scorching temperature of the lake of fire, Qin Bin is not a fire-loving phoenix after all. Staying in such a hot environment for two hours is barely enough, but if it is any more, he will not be able to hold on any longer, so he can only leave for the time being.

"Oh," Chi Huo was a little bit reluctant, and said sullenly, "Master will come early tomorrow..."
