Soul Ferry: My master is Uncle Jiu

Chapter 181 Chinese New Year

"Don't be sad, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, have you figured out how to celebrate it?"

An Yan put a hand on Xia Dongqing's shoulder and changed the topic.

Speaking of which, it is only a few days before the New Year's Eve. The New Year's Eve is approaching, and the streets outside are already filled with festive red lanterns.

The originally bustling city has become quite deserted because of the Chinese New Year as most of the migrant workers have gone home.

"Of course I'm spending it with my family! I also have New Year's money!" Wang Xiaoya said excitedly as soon as she heard the mention of the New Year.

"Is it going to be the New Year?"

So for the New Year, which is supposed to be a festive day, he doesn't have much idea about what to do and what to do when working.

"Yeah, Holly, what are you going to do this year?"

Wang Xiaoya then remembered that Xia Dongqing had said that she was an orphan before, and suddenly realized that she might have asked the wrong question, and she carefully observed the other person's expression.

Xia Dongqing looked at An Yan and then at Jade. He still had this look. Although he wanted to stay up late with An Yan, would it affect the couple?

"Then it's settled. By the way, Dongqing, go and inform Zhao Li, and we'll have New Year's Eve dinner together then."

Xia Dongqing also followed: "Yes, if you run away, what will Auntie do?"

"Hey Hey hey!!!"

Wang Xiaoya, who knew his situation, could only nod sadly.

Xia Dongqing has no sense of expectation for the Chinese New Year since she was very young.

"Have you forgotten me?"

"An Yan, you should go home for the New Year, right? When are you going to go back to your hometown?"

He was used to it and said indifferently: "The convenience store is open on New Year's Eve, so I should continue to work."

Seeing An Yan inviting her with a smile, the meaning of which was very clear, she nodded with some joy and said, "Yes, let's go together."

Jade and Xia Dongqing were stunned. Was he the same as them?

An Yan, on the other hand, was very curious.

Wang Xiaoya on the side felt aggrieved, why didn't she have herself?

"Don't you want to spend time with your family? Have a reunion dinner with your mother. It won't be easy for her after a year." An Yan tapped Wang Xiaoya's head and said angrily.

Before Xia Dongqing could speak, An Yan had already made arrangements.

"And Jade, together?"

"Holly, don't work overtime when you are thirty, stay up with me."

And for the first time, he was full of expectations for the New Year, and really wanted to celebrate the New Year as early as possible.

An Yan smiled, then looked at Xia Dongqing, "Dongqing, what about you?"

"All right!"

"Me?" Seeing everyone's eyes on her, An Yan shrugged and said, "I won't go back. I'm the only one left at home now, and I won't go back during the New Year."

Xia Dongqing's words made Jade focus on An Yan. Speaking of which, she had never heard An Yan mention the situation of her family.

Seeing this, Xia Dongqing could only smile bitterly. What else could he say, but his heart felt warm.

As time passed, New Year's Eve soon arrived.

On both sides of the street, red lanterns were hung on the scenic trees. Pedestrians on the road were filled with smiles. Some even put on red coats and scarves to hope for good luck.

The market was also very lively, with food, entertainment, and clowns performing acrobatics.

In the corner of the market, on a temporary tent, there was a sign saying tarot fortune telling, 50% discount, and no free money allowed.

The sound of Jade and Wang Xiaoya talking could be faintly heard inside. "Xiaoya, have you seen An Yan? We agreed to open a stall together, but why didn't we see anyone? We still want to make some money during the Chinese New Year."

Jade complained.

Wang Xiaoya looked at the things on the table. She still knew about things like tarot divination, but she was skeptical about An Yan, a big boy.

"Jade, are you sure An Yan knows about tarot divination?"

"Don't get into the situation where you have a tarot divination and an ancestral finger-picking fortune-telling, and you have a fusion of things."

Hearing what Wang Xiaoya said, Jade hesitated for a moment, "Maybe not?"

"Hey, stop talking, someone is coming!"

At this moment, the first order of business came to the door.

An Yan was still on the way here. He was going to prepare the ingredients for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner. After ordering, he remembered his agreement with Jade and hurried over again.

"Fortune telling and so on, plus the Chinese New Year, just say all the good things, what's the difficulty in this?"

But since Jade has already spoken, he should go over and take a look, lest Jade and Wang Xiaoya can't cope with it.

He believed in his own fortune-telling technique more than tarot divination. Although he had only learned a superficial knowledge of this technique, it could still be used to deceive people.

On the street, a little girl was walking on the street, looking here and there, as if she was looking for something.

Pedestrians on the road passed directly through the little girl, and this scene seemed particularly strange.

Being able to come out in broad daylight is probably not an ordinary character. From the surface, he is not much different from a human child.

An Yan, who was thinking about something, subconsciously avoided it so that he wouldn't have to compete with a little girl.

But the little girl who was looking around suddenly took hold of An Yan.

An Yan paused after being pulled, and turned around to see a little girl in a red coat with twin tails pulling on her clothes.

"Little sister, why are you holding me?"

"We don't offend the river."

An Yan looked at the old-looking little girl in front of him and said calmly. He could tell at a glance that the girl was not a human, but she was not a ghost either.

There was no aura of injustice lingering in him, so on this New Year's Eve day, he didn't want to take action.

"You know me?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, thinking that her identity was recognized.

"I don't know." An Yan looked at the little girl after hearing this, "Are you famous?"

He couldn't help but recall the existence of a little girl in Soul Ferry, a little girl in her thirties.

This is the year!

Nian is an existence that only appeared in the third season of Soul Ferry. He can see through Xia Dongqing's identity at a glance, and also knows the existence of Chi You in Xia Dongqing's body. He is undoubtedly an old monster who has lived for a long time.

Their strength is unknown, but at least they are stronger than their younger brother Xi, and Xi was able to defeat Wang Xiaoya after regaining his identity. Both siblings are not weak in strength.

"You really don't know me?"

Nian felt a little disappointed. She thought she would know about her when she met a strong human being, but she didn't expect that she, like those ordinary people, had forgotten her existence.

"I'm kidding you, you must be Nian."

"The one that only appears on New Year's Eve."

Looking at the smiling An Yan, Nian Xiao's face fell, and he raised his foot and kicked the opponent's calf.

He even bullies little girls, what a nasty guy!
