Chapter 54: New Year's Eve

Chapter 54: New Year's Eve

After going to the village with the girl to attend the funeral on that day of childhood, the White Ape who returned to the mountain was silent and no longer played happily as usual.

He began to cultivate actively, and even the number of times when he was lazy and distracted in cultivation was much less.

Xiao Ai was quite satisfied and felt that the White Ape had finally worked hard.

However, in just a few days, the number of times when the White Ape was lazy and distracted during his cultivation became more and more often.

In the end, the old state started sprouting once again, which was no different from the previous appearance of laziness and idleness. Xiao Ai didn't urge him to cultivate, so he played by himself and idled openly.

The lazy and happy appearance made Xiao Ai speechless for a while, and she completely gave up her expectation of the White Ape in her heart.

However, with this White Ape, the originally deserted mountains are much more lively.

This White Ape plays every day, and occasionally amuses Xiao Ai.

And although this White Ape is not willing to sit and meditate, if it is allowed to work, it will do well.

So Xiao Ai gave all the chores in the mountain to the White Ape.

She let it sweep the fallen leaves in front and around the Wolf God Temple with a broom every day.

Once every three days, let the White Ape wipe and wash the floor and altar inside and outside the Wolf God Temple.

Carry water at the foot of the mountain every day, and chop firewood at the back of the mountain every day... After all the chores were handed over to the monkey, Xiao Ai saved a lot of time, so that she could focus entirely on cultivation.

Time soon arrived for New Year's Eve.

On this day, Xiao Ai got up very early and called the White Ape who was still sleeping next door.

On New Year's Eve, there are many things that need busy preparation, so Xiao Ai doesn't plan to cultivate today.

She got up early and cooked some porridge. After having breakfast with White Ape, she began a busy day.

The main hall of Wolf God Temple was completely cleaned inside and outside. The empty rooms in front of and behind the main hall were carefully cleaned.Gett your favorite novels at no/v/e/lbin(.)com

The cleaning didn't end until noon. Then Xiao Ai and White Ape set off firecrackers in front of Wolf God Temple.

Although Xiao Ai was no longer interested in firecrackers, White Ape likes them very much. He is satisfied after pestering Xiao Ai to set off a few more.

After a short rest, she began to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.

In the past, when she was in the village, her parents prepared the new year's Eve dinner. The girl just helped her mother pick beans and wash vegetables.

Later, her father died and her mother was seriously ill. On New Year's Eve, her mother and Xiao Ai worked together to cook some dishes with meat and fish. However, even though there were two women, one was sick and the other was young, naturally, they couldn't make a rich New Year's Eve dinner.

Later, her mother died of illness and the girl was adopted by her uncle. The dinner was a lot richer, but it never tasted the same as before.

This year, it is the first time for the girl to spend New Year's Eve alone.

Of course, she was accompanied by a White Ape.

It's just that this White Ape obviously doesn't understand the meaning of New Year's Eve. It can do something like washing vegetables and picking beans, but the girl has to kill chickens, kill ducks, and cook vegetables and rice by herself.

Doing these things alone, although Xiao Ai was energetic, it still took a long time.

It was not until it was completely dark that the smell of vegetables and rice wafted in the mountains.

However, as soon as the White Ape ran out, there was a scream of panic from the White Ape outside.

Hearing the scream, the girl's heart trembled and subconsciously rushed out.

"What happened?" She shouted hurriedly.

Under the cold moonlight, the girl saw the scene in front of Wolf God Temple.

The White Ape with white hair was lying on the ground in horror and awe, shivering.

And in the direction of White Ape worship, in the open space paved with bluestones, there is a figure standing quietly. After hearing the girl's voice, the man slowly turned his head and looked at her and the White Ape.

In the moonlight, the girl saw the man clearly.

His white dress is spotless, as if all the filth in the world could not infect his body, with an indescribable ethereal appearance.

His calm eyes seem to imply a smile.

Obviously, he looked young, but facing this man in white, Xiao Ai inexplicably felt awe, as if she was facing a God with long history who had long seen through the world of mortals.

Xiao Ai's heart suddenly jumped and thought of some possibility.

"Wolf... Lord Wolf God?" The girl murmured in a weak voice.

But the man in white in front of Wolf God Temple heard it clearly.

He smiled and nodded. His warm smile seemed to dispel the cold in winter, making the whole Wolf God Temple feel like a spring breeze inside and outside.

"Yes, it's me."

The man in the moonlight smiled and said, "I’ve come to see you tonight on New Year's Eve."

The little girl's breathing suddenly shortened and she was a little excited.

"Lord Wolf God..." she subconsciously walked forward a few steps and wanted to salute, but after raising her hand, she remembered that Lord Wolf God would not allow her to do so, and her hand immediately froze in mid air, neither saluting nor taking back.

But fortunately, the man in white didn't seem to notice her embarrassment. Instead, he turned his head to look outside the mountain, gazing at the bright fireworks rising in the sky that night, and nodded.

"The fireworks set off by the Wind Raiders department are beautiful, and they have some flavor of the Chinese New Year."

The gentle voice of Lord Wolf God made the girl's inner panic gradually calm down.

She walked to the Wolf God, couldn't help but secretly looking at the Wolf God beside her, and asked eagerly, "Wolf God, you... You look like this..."

"It's just the incarnation of my soul," Lu Heng in front of Wolf God Temple glanced at her and said with a smile, "I've learned something from this mediation. Although this is just the incarnation of my soul and it can't touch anything, it also has infinite mysteries."

"In the future, if there is a visitor, there is no need to greet the visitor as a wolf... Haha..."

Lu Heng smiled softly, feeling quite happy.

The little girl standing beside him bowed her head, clenched her fists excitedly, and her heart beat like a drum.

Lord Wolf God came to see her...

The girl who had been ready to spend the New Year's Eve and Spring Festival alone suddenly felt dizzy, and her whole person felt so happy as if she had fallen into a cloud.

Silent tears fell on her grim face.

In the night sky, the fireworks set off by the Wind Raiders Department rose to the sky, reflecting the whole Hanyu mountain in all colors, and also engraved the two people and a monkey in front of the Wolf God Temple in the picture scroll of this moment forever.
