When the bell rang, Wang Chen came to the kitchen and started cooking.
New Year's Eve dinner.
He first steamed half a pot of white rice, then stir-fried bacon, dried beans and winter bamboo shoots braised in oil, and then added a large bowl of egg drop soup. Finally, he served it with a crock pot of braised monster meat that had been simmered for a long time.
Three dishes, one soup and one rice.
It's not rich, but it can more or less soothe Wang Chen's lonely soul at the moment.
It has not been a year since he traveled through time and came to this world.
But it feels like a century has passed.
The memories of the past are becoming lighter and fainter in my mind, and are already hidden deep in my heart.
But today is a special day.
Every Spring Festival in his previous life, Wang Chen would return to his parents no matter where he was.
Spend the New Year with your loved ones.
On New Year's Eve, my mother would always try her best to prepare a big table of mouth-watering delicacies.
Home-roasted large yellow croaker, sauce-roasted large bone stick, steamed large lobster, salt-baked three-yellow chicken...
And the must-have pork and cabbage dumplings!
The family gathered around the dining table, listening to the crackling of firecrackers coming from the window, and ate together.
At this time, my father would take out the Maotai liquor from his collection and have a drink with Wang Chen.
The little sister who likes to quarrel with him will become very well-behaved when she grows up.
The premise is that Wang Chensai’s red envelope is thick enough.
As for the younger brother...
Uh, I can't remember.
But now, Wang Chen can only eat alone in loneliness.
If the degree of loneliness is divided into ten levels.
So what level is a person eating New Year's Eve dinner alone in another world?
He ate all the meals cleanly.
Not a grain of rice was wasted.
After finishing this deserted New Year's Eve dinner, the snow outside had stopped.
Wang Chen put away the dishes and took a broom to sweep away all the snow in the yard and on the roof.
Tonight, he had no intention of practicing at all.
Sitting on the roof, Wang Chen looked at the fireworks that bloomed from time to time in the distant sky.
It was a wealthy family in Yunshan City. The magic fireworks set off to celebrate the New Year could be seen from hundreds of miles away.
it's beautiful.
But Wang Chen only felt more lonely.
A stranger in a foreign land.
Without unforgettable personal experience, it is impossible to truly understand the essence of this poem.
Suddenly, a paper crane flew in front of his eyes.
Wang Chen was stunned, then reached out to take the paper crane and unfolded it to look at it.
This letter from Crane was actually written by Wei Lian.
The girl stated in the letter that everything was fine with her and Wei Xiong in the Xie Mansion.
The brother and sister originally planned to visit Wang Chen again before the year.
However, due to the strict rules in the mansion, the two of them are newcomers and cannot go out easily, so I ask the immortal master for your forgiveness.
Wei Lian asked a monk sister whom he met in the mansion to send this letter.
I wish Wang Chen a prosperous new year and a higher level of cultivation next year!
After reading this letter from He, Wang Chen felt a little warmer in his heart.
Someone was thinking about me, and the feeling of loneliness was mostly dispelled in an instant, and my mood became cheerful.
He put away the crane letter and watched the fireworks for a while.
Then prepare to go down and rest.
At this moment, bursts of laughter reached Wang Chen's ears.
He couldn't help but follow the sound.
I saw a group of children running and fighting in the spiritual field of Lao Suntou's family.
Yaotongzi, a gray-level evil spirit!
This is not the first time Wang Chen has met Yao Tongzi.
The last time he joined the Night Watch team, he was ambushed by the Fire Eye Thief during his patrol. On the way back after a fierce battle, he encountered several young boys.
Among all the evil spirits, Yaotongzi is the most harmless.
As long as you don't provoke them intentionally, they usually won't hurt you.
But the appearance of young children often means greater danger!
Wang Chen remembered that the time he saw Yao Tongzi, he was attacked by an evil scarecrow.
Almost fell into a desperate situation.
And this time he saw more than a dozen Yaotong children!
Wang Chen couldn't help but take out an evil talisman and hold it in his hand.
Most of his evil-proofing charms are captured trophies, and he currently has twenty or thirty of them.
But in the face of strange evil spirits, no matter how many talismans there are, there is not much sense of security.
However, these young boys chased and fought and soon left the spiritual field of Lao Sun's family.
Disappeared into the vast wilderness.
The sense of crisis in Wang Chen's heart also disappeared.
He took a long breath.
When he returned to the underground secret room to rest, Wang Chen sealed all the tunnels including the ventilation ducts.
The underground space he excavated is large enough.
Even if it is sealed for several days and nights, there will still be breathable air.
That night, Wang Chen did not sleep peacefully.
He always dreams.
I dreamed about my family.
The strange thing is that Wang Chen also dreamed of Wang Shaoyuan.
The father of the original owner stood in the clouds and mist, casting an extremely complicated look at him.
Then it dissipated silently into oblivion.
When Wang Chen woke up from his dream, it was already the next morning.
He remembered his dreams clearly.
It is said that monks rarely dream. The higher the level, the less likely it is to dream.
Once you dream, it must be something you feel!
Wang Chen is different, he often dreams.
I even dreamed many times that I was still playing the liver mobile game.
I feel really resentful.
After opening the passage and returning to the ground, he washed up and had breakfast. Wang Chen carried the gift bag of spiritual tea he bought in Yunshan City and went to Mrs. Sun's house to pay New Year's greetings.
This old man has a very good character and never hesitates to give advice to his juniors.
Wang Chen benefited a lot from him, so it is appropriate to observe the year of worship.
Mr. Sun was very happy to see Wang Chen coming to his door and asked his family to bring him a fruit plate and snacks.
Wang Chen took out the broken spirit red envelopes that he had prepared and distributed them to the young grandchildren of the old man's family.
After the excitement, Mr. Sun said to Wang Chen: "After this year, I will no longer be the district chief."
Wang Chen was surprised: "Then who will be in charge?"
Old Mrs. Sun stretched out his hand and pointed upward: "It's not just me, most of the guardhouses need to be replaced by new chiefs."
He sighed: "I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. Starting from this year, the land rent will be increased by 50%!"
Wang Chen said in a deep voice: "Are the rumors true?"
"it is true."
Old Mrs. Sun smiled bitterly and said: "Not only will the land rent be increased, but the rice seeds will also have to be purchased with spiritual stones in the future."
Damn it!
Wang Chen almost cursed.
The white jade rice planted by Ling Zhifu in the outer gate has always been controlled by Ling Zhitang.
The rations kept by farmers cannot be used for planting.
In the past, all these rice seeds were distributed free of charge by Lingzhitang according to the number of acres of land.
Not to mention increasing the land rent now, even the rice seeds have to be purchased with spiritual stones. It is simply breaking the bones and sucking out the marrow, squeezing out the flesh and blood of the low-level monks bit by bit!
Wang Chen couldn't help but have serious doubts about what the sect was doing.
Fishing in such a dry lake.
What are the benefits to the Yunyang Sect?
It feels like the higher-ups are eagerly making some preparations!
