Taking the steamed bun from Xiao Qiang, Xiao Yu ate it in one go with a smile. Although he knew that this thing had no effect, this was the custom and the expectation of his parents.
After eating steamed buns, Xiao Yu introduced today's visitors. Bai Zimo, Liu Xiaogang, and Xiao Qiang all knew each other, but it was the first time for Xiao Qiang and Mu Liutian to meet them.
"Dad, these two are Mu Liutian and Zhou Jun. They are both my friends and they are here to attend the wedding."
"Hello uncle...".
Mu Liutian and Zhou Jun hurriedly came forward to say hello, while Xiao Qiang happily took out the cigarette and handed it over.
"Welcome, welcome, you are here. Our family, Xiao Yu, is really lucky. It's just that our family is too poor, so it makes you laugh."
"Uncle, you're welcome, that's already good."
"Okay, come on, sit down quickly, you are tired after running all day, we will start dinner soon."
Xiao Yu's aunt and others took Xiao Yu outside and asked Xiao Yu what was going on and why it was like this. Xiao Yu just said a few vague words and dealt with it casually.
After lunch, everyone gathered around the brazier and began to discuss the wedding. Most of them talked about how many banquet tables to sit at, the betrothal gifts, etc. These had already been discussed, and they were just mentioned out of habit.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. After discussing with his family in the evening, Xiao Yu went to entertain Zhou Jun and the others. Since they were all young men from the city, they were arranged to stay alone in Xiao Yu's house.
At this time, in Xiao Yu's room, the previous wooden frame bed had been replaced by a Simmons bed. It was a large bed with six or seven quilts placed on it, and they were all bright red, even the sheets were red.
Although it was a rural area, during the renovation, Xiao Qiang still asked the decorator to put wallpaper on the walls, a row of wardrobes, and even the previous light bulbs were replaced with crystal lamps, which looked a bit strange.
This kind of decoration is considered good in rural areas, but in the eyes of Mu Liutian and others, it is still too simple, but they did not say it out loud, after all, this is a rural area.
Bai Zimo and the others were together, playing cards whenever they had nothing to do, while Xiao Yu was running in and out, listening to the family's arrangements, and discussing the future matters with Xiao Xue.
In the evening, Xiao Yu arranged for Bai Zimo, Mu Liutian, Zhou Jun and others to spend the night in Zhou Jun's new house, while he himself went to sleep at Xiao Jie's house.
Because there are many relatives coming to the house, the room is not enough, so we originally wanted to lay floors on the floor, but the weather did not allow it.
"Xiao Yu, I remember you are very particular about this. Outsiders are not allowed to sleep in the new house before getting married, right?"
Mr. Jun was standing next to him, joking.
There is such a rule in rural areas. One month before the wedding, outsiders are not allowed to sleep in the new house. In some homes, no one is allowed to enter.
But Xiao Yu doesn't believe this. As a Taoist priest, he is already defiant enough. Is he still afraid of those things?
"It's okay, that stuff doesn't work here. You can just sleep peacefully. If it gets cold, get a few more quilts in the cupboard to avoid freezing."
Xiao Yu made the bed and told Mr. Jun.
Because Bai Zimo and Mu Liutian usually don't care about these things at home, compared to them, Zhou Jun has to worry more.
"Also, this fire must be taken out. The ventilation in this room is not good. Don't get poisoned by coal. In winter, many elderly people in the village have been admitted to the hospital."
Xiao Yu drove Mu Liutian aside and cleared out a basin of coal fire, fearing that these young masters would get into trouble here.
"Okay, let's go quickly. It's annoying to see you wandering around here, just like the aunt."
Bai Zimo fell on the bed, squinted his eyes and muttered.
"Okay, I'm leaving. By the way, I'm going to the mountains tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, which can be regarded as the Chinese New Year, but Xiao Yu wants to go into the mountains early and let the colorful butterflies and the rotten bone insects survive the tribulation, so that they can also be happy during the Chinese New Year.
"Go, why don't you go, I don't want to be here, you can call us tomorrow" Bai Zimo shouted immediately.
"Yes, let's go shopping together. This house is fine and we can't help."
Several people asked to go into the mountain together one after another, and Xiao Yu had to agree. They were all guests. It was really inappropriate to go out by himself and leave them at home.
During the Chinese New Year, the village looked very festive. Every house hung red lanterns. Even the roads in the village were lit up red. Although the ground was completely white, everyone's hearts were full of enthusiasm.
In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Yu and Guizhi quietly got up and returned home again. They gently woke Bai Zimo and others up, then took a few steamed buns from the kitchen and headed towards the mountain again.
Xiao Yu is a local native, and he can find the road here even with his eyes closed. Although it is not bright yet, it does not affect their journey.
Xiao Yu planned to choose the place where Cai Die and others would go through the tribulation under Dishui Cliff. Although it was a valley, the terrain was open, the surroundings were flat, there were cliffs on both sides, and he was not afraid of being harassed by other monsters.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yu and others walked for more than four hours and finally arrived at the foot of Dishui Cliff.
At this time, Dishui Cliff was completely covered with snow, and some rabbit footprints could still be seen on the ground!
In the past, Xiao Yu would have thought about catching rabbits, but now he was not in that mood. Instead, he placed Bai Zimo and others in a remote place that was exposed to the wind, and then found some firewood around.
Light a bonfire and ask a few people to sit there and wait for him to return.
"Xiao Yu, be careful. If you don't come back in this barren mountain, we might all starve to death."
When Xiao Yu left, Mu Liutian hurriedly reminded him loudly.
"Don't worry, I'm right in front, you can see me."
When the little demon crosses the tribulation, the damage caused by lightning is threatening to people, so Xiao Yu doesn't dare to let people get too close.
Moreover, I have to collect the little demon into the ancient jade at any time, so it is inconvenient for everyone to be present.
Standing in a relatively open area, Xiao Yu sat cross-legged on the ground, took out some spiritual grass and put it into his mouth, warming his meridians, and then entered the ancient jade, notifying Cai Die and other little demons to prepare for the tribulation.
"You three, when you can't bear it anymore, you must remind me not to carry it hard."
Although they are all low-level demons, they have been with me for some time. I can't watch them die like this!
Moreover, his Yin Yang Peach Wood Sword also needs to use the power of heavenly thunder to wash away the power of Yin Thunder on the sword, but Xiao Yu does not want to do it today because the abilities of these three little demons are too low, and their thunder tribulation is also
It's not very big. If I forcefully guide their sky thunder, I might not be able to sacrifice the sword, but it will destroy the little demon's cultivation.
"Don't worry, Taoist Master, we are all low-level little demons. The thunder is not very powerful. We can definitely carry it through. If there is really danger, we will definitely ask the Taoist Master for help."
The man and woman in black transformed into the bones-worm couple said with excitement on their faces.
