Peerless Empress

Chapter 127

"My fourth brother!"

Hearing this, Bu Li's dark brown amber eyes stared at her with ignorance and deep meaning, and his thin lips tugged lightly: "I don't want to be your brother!"

"I don't need so many brothers..." Yan Luo looked directly into his eyes and followed up the conversation. She has seven brothers and she doesn't need an eighth...

Bu Li raised his brows, a smile appeared in his eyes, and the hidden meaning became stronger, the corners of his lips curled up, and he replied, "Really?"

Yan Luoer suddenly thought of something, and asked, "I come here every winter, and the Bu patriarch doesn't have any complaints?"

Bu Li asked back: "Wu Di came to Xiaozhuang Village with you, are you not afraid of being discovered?"

Yan Luo'er remained silent, her beautiful eyes narrowed and stared at the smile on his lips, she naturally knew why he asked her back, it can be seen that his arrangement was exactly like hers!
"You really know my every move..."

Speaking of this, she frowned unhappily, and it made her suddenly understand why he knew clearly that she was going to Yanhu that day. It turned out that he sent someone to monitor her, but he lied to her with nonsense, and said I miss her all the time...

Bu Li saw a trace of displeasure between her eyebrows, sighed inaudibly, without any explanation, stood up gracefully, the warm wind blew his clothes, and the handsome him looked down at the dagger in her hand, There was a playful smile on the corner of her lips: "I suddenly envy it!"

envious?Did he mean the dagger?
Yan Luoer flipped the dagger suspiciously, why are you envious of it?He is a living person, but the dagger is just a dead thing, but in retrospect, if she didn't have the memory of 'Di Qing', she and Bu Li have known each other longer than any brother of the Di family.

She retracted the dagger, looked at the gradually darkening sky, stood up and jumped lightly, gracefully landed ten feet away, and said lightly: "Let's go home!"

"Let's go home..." Bu Li stared at the slender figure, chewed these four words lightly with interest, the corners of his lips curled up, and followed her footsteps happily. ―――――――――――――――

On the day before the winter of the new year, the men who were out hunting and roaming the forests of Yandi rushed back home one after another.

On the winter day of the new year, when the rooster crows, every household gradually gets busy, posting couplets, hanging lanterns, burning firecrackers, and the boisterous sound of "Bengbang", driving away the cold of the winter.

In the past, the Yan's house was the most deserted in the winter, but now it suddenly became lively, and there were laughter and noises in the house from time to time. The villagers living near the Yan's house were naturally a little more curious, and they stretched their heads to look around the Yan's yard from time to time.

At this moment, in the Yan family's courtyard, four men were surrounding a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy in white clothes, and a long string of firecrackers was placed on the ground, almost occupying the entire courtyard.

"Hurry up..." Bu Fan couldn't help urging, seeing that the incense in Aotian's hand was about to go out, but he still didn't make a move.

Aotian nervously turned the incense in his hand, took a deep breath and asked: "Is it really burning continuously?

It is inevitable for him to be nervous. This is the first time he sees human things, and it is also the first time he knows that firecrackers will make a loud noise when they are lit.

"Yes!" Everyone replied at the same time, since lighting the incense, Aotian has asked the same question ten times.

At this moment, Bai Ying sprang out from the room and landed on the lead wire without any mistakes, and everyone exclaimed: "Xiao Bai, don't discharge!"

Xiaobai moved his chubby body slightly, blinked his small eyes suspiciously, seeing their 'excited' expressions, he couldn't help jumping up happily, and then, a 'hissing' sound came out of his body, and he found that Bailan Suddenly, the lead wire under it was instantly ignited, and everyone hurriedly covered their ears.

Aotian quickly picked up Xiaobai, hid aside, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "Idiot! You took all the credit!"

The sound of "cracking, crackling" firecrackers sounded, and Yan Luoer, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the sound of firecrackers, and the corners of her lips curled up, revealing a joyful smile.

She glanced secretly at Guoyue, only to see that the corners of Guoyue's eyes had been raised high, looking happily at the noisy atmosphere outside.

As night fell, the sound of firecrackers from every household gradually disappeared, and the Yan family was already busy preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.

"Wow, lord...Luo'er, why is there only one pot of clear soup for our New Year's Eve dinner?" Luo Sui looked at the greasy soup with a bitter face, not even a piece of green vegetables.

Bu Li walked into the hall with a few plates of side dishes, and when he heard Luo Sui's complaint, he couldn't help laughing out gracefully: "You guys don't understand, this is called hot pot, every winter, Luoer makes this, it's not only convenient , Delicious, and all kinds of meat dishes will not go cold easily..." He said while putting various ingredients into the pot.

With a faint smile on her face, Yan Luo'er walked to the hot pot, stretched out two fingers of her right hand, condensed a faint golden flame, lit the charcoal under the pot, and instantly, the clear soup boiled.

"Luo'er, you are so wasteful, you actually boil water with a golden spirit fire..." Luo Sui couldn't help but tsk-tsk.

Bu Fan came in with a few dishes of vegetarian dishes in his hand, and said excitedly, "Here we come, here we come... I can finally eat with chopsticks this year!"

Guoyue followed behind him with a smile, also holding several dishes of meat dishes in her hand.

"I'll teach you how to eat..." Bu Fan excitedly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of marinated beef and put it in the pot. When the meat was half-cooked, he picked it up quickly, lightly dipped it in the seasoning, and didn't worry about it being hot. Putting it into his mouth, he chewed and praised: "It's delicious, this meat is so fresh and tender!"

Guoyue and Buli looked at him with a funny face, in the past winters, they put them in his bowl after they were boiled.

Seeing his happy and contented smile, Luo Sui, Wu Di, and Aotian couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and quickly imitated his appearance.

Seeing that the meat slices were cooked through, Luo Sui and Wu Di impatiently were about to pick up the meat slices, at this moment, the chopsticks became heavy and heavy.

"Eh?" Wu Di looked puzzled, and the whole boiling clear water was instantly frozen into ice cubes, Luo Sui exclaimed in surprise, "What, what's going on?"

Everyone was stunned, and Bu Fan slapped Aotian on the back of the head angrily: "Idiot, it's frozen, how can everyone eat it?"

"I see this soup is too hot, so..." Aotian didn't think he did anything wrong!Moreover, this way everyone will not burn their mouths when they eat it!
Everyone was speechless for a moment, Aotian was scolded by Bufan, and finally, everyone spent a lot of effort to melt the ice soup of the seven-star beast.

Throughout the night, Yan's house was full of excitement and laughter, unknowingly the second watch had passed and the third watch was coming, Guoyue suggested that they go to the village square to watch the new year.

Shou Sui is a meeting specially held in the village for the winter of the new year. Everyone has to tie two strings of gold ingots made of paper on their feet. The person who can defend to the end is the winner and can get a cornucopia of rewards from the village chief.

Yan Luo'er lived in this village for five years, but she never went to the square to watch the New Year's Eve. Now that Guoyue proposed, everyone seemed to be very excited, and she didn't disappoint, and came to the square with them.

Although Guoyue proposed this proposal, she did not follow, and Bufan was too drunk to drink at home, so he did not follow.

Yan Luoer led them to the lively square. Along the way, everyone looked back at them frequently, first because of the unfamiliar faces, and then, many people's eyes were on Bu Li, Luo Sui, and Wu Di. Bu Li and Luo Sui's looks are plain, but their temperament is extraordinary, which still attracts the attention of many women.

"Wu Di, many girls are looking at you. I heard that you haven't married yet. Now, find a girl you like and marry them back home!" Luo Sui put his elbow on Wu Di's chest, teasingly said: " Good looks are popular!"

Wu Di gave him an angry look, and then replied seriously: "It's not suitable to get married now!"

"So, you have a girl you like?" Luo Sui's words immediately aroused the interest of Yan Luoer and Bu Li, and their eyes fell on him.

Wu Di received their teasing gazes, coughed uncomfortably, then pointed to the stall in front of him and said, "Let's buy paper at that stall!"

The three behind them looked at each other and smiled slightly, there must be something wrong with Wu Di, and Aotian next to him didn't like to hear this at all, just like a child, the two stalls on the left and right ran back and forth, looking at everything on the stall curiously.

Wu Di bought two strings of ingots for each of them, and even Xiaobai had a string of paper ingots tied to his body, and then hung his whole body on Aotian's body.

At this time, the square was already noisy, and the center of the square had already been surrounded by white powder. Before the New Year's Eve meeting started, no one was allowed to enter.

Everyone waited anxiously outside the circle. As soon as the third shift arrived, everyone quickly walked into the circle, waiting with great interest for the village chief's order.

At this time, the old man with white hair and white beard stood on the high platform, angry like a bell, and said loudly: "As in previous years, you are not allowed to use holy energy to keep the year, and you must not hurt others! Start to watch the year!"

As soon as the sound fell, everyone rushed to the white circle, and everyone cheered. Here, everyone does not recognize their relatives. When they see the paper ingots on the ground, they step on them hard. If the ingots under their feet are crushed, they must Leave the field automatically, otherwise, after being found out, you will be expelled when you observe the new year next year.

For Yan Luoer, who is good at martial arts, it is easy to keep the paper, just like stepping on a balloon in modern times, it is as easy as the palm of the hand.

In just two short hours, there were only a few dozen people left out of thousands of people, and the arena became empty in an instant, while the outside circle was bustling with excitement, looking at the people in the arena with great excitement.

Yan Luo'er stood on the edge of the white line and turned around, seeing Bu Li and the others, still standing inside the circle, the corners of her lips curled up involuntarily.

At this time, the black figure in front of her fifty feet away made her smile froze.

How could he be here!
