Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

Hei Xiazi definitely couldn't do this job by himself; he couldn't carry all the fireworks and firecrackers by himself. Luckily, he saw that some people in the yard were relatively free, so he pulled them along to be fireworks movers.

Thinking this, Hei Xiazi strode over and pulled Qi Qiu, who was fortune-telling under the tree, up: "Come on, come on, stop calculating. If you keep doing this, your grandfather will be brought back to life by your calculations."

Qi Qiu: "..."

Black Bear then gestured to the others.

"Wu Xie, second apprentice, Yang Hao, you're so idle you're about to fart. Come on, let's get to work with me, Blackie."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie sensed that something bad was going to happen, and he immediately retorted, "Who said I'm not busy? I bought a Kongming lantern in the Ming Dynasty and was told to write blessings on it. I can't leave, so you should find someone else."

"Tsk." Black Bear curled his lips. This kid brought up the Ming Dynasty, and he really had no way to deal with it. He turned around and took the reluctant Su Wan and Yang Hao away.

Su Wan muttered a complaint in a low voice: "Master, you always bully us."

"Hey~ disciple, you're being narrow-minded. How can this be called bullying? This is called entrusting someone with an important task. Your master is doing this for your own good." Black Bear was just trying to fool him.

Yang Hao strongly disagreed: "For your own good? I think they're clearly treating us like laborers."

Hit the nail on the head.

Just as Hei Xiazi was about to spout a few more words of deception, Qi Qiu on the other end snorted coldly and said, "Taking advantage of your age."

I'm really sorry.

He can't stand hearing that word right now.

Black Bear touched his cheek with his tongue, thinking that if the tiger didn't show its power, it would really be treated like a hello ketty.

With a stern face, he raised his elbow and gave each of them a slap.

"Just go when we tell you to! Stop talking nonsense!"

"Ouch!" ×3

The three men covered the back of their heads, angry but unable to speak out.

After dealing with the three men, Hei Xiazi finally felt relieved. He grabbed his car keys and was about to leave when someone happened to pass by.

It was Zhang Qiyu, leaning against a tree, lost in thought.

Black Bear's eyes lit up, and after taking a few steps back, he turned around and sneakily placed his hand on the other man's shoulder...

slide.....

Then he draped his arm over her shoulder...

slide.....

"Pfft, hahaha" x3

Three undisguised sneers rang out behind him.

Black Bear took a deep breath, maintained his smile, and said in a gentle voice, "Dumb Man, you're going to stay here or come with me anyway, so why don't you help me think about what kind of fireworks we should buy?"

Zhang Qilin remained silent.

He didn't even glance at Hei Xiazi.

Instead, he suddenly turned his gaze to the outside of the courtyard.

at the same time.

Shen Mingchao stood outside the courtyard for a long time.

Silently taking in the scene in the courtyard, the warmth of everyday life washes over you.

The bare words in those books now unfolded vividly before her eyes, like a dynamic painting.

It seems to have a feeling.

The moment Shen Mingchao looked up, her eyes met Zhang Qiyu's. She smiled suddenly, lifted her skirt, and quickly ran inside.

In that instant, it felt as if I had crossed the dimensional barrier.

She thus became a subject of the painting.

In the end, the fireworks-buying team consisted of the same four people. Zhang Qilin wasn't fooled into leaving, and Hei Xiazi came to persuade Shen Mingchao again, but the latter said he wanted to help make dumplings, so they gave up.

The house was filled with warmth; the New Year's Eve dinner was almost ready thanks to the cooks' hard work.

When the fat man saw Shen Mingchao, he said that she had returned just in time, and the New Year's Eve dinner could be served in less than an hour.

The reason for eating so early can be attributed to Wu Xie's sudden inspiration.

This person's thinking is always very divergent. While he's busy, he suddenly says that staying at home watching the Spring Festival Gala during the New Year is too unoriginal, and that they should go to the beach for the New Year instead.

Fujian Province is located by the sea, and it only takes a little over an hour to drive to the beach, which is not considered far.

These people are all restless, including Shen Mingchao. After changing out of her God of Wealth costume, she heard Wu Xie's suggestion and immediately raised both hands to vote in favor.

The location was chosen on Pingtan Island.

After dinner, the group drove off. Because it was New Year's Eve, there weren't many people at the beach.

As soon as Shen Mingchao got out of the car, the salty sea breeze, carrying the sound of the tide, rushed towards her. Looking at the boundless sea in front of her, she subconsciously sighed softly.

Xie Yuchen walked to her side and asked her gently what was wrong.

"Pingtan Island is most famous for its blue tears, but unfortunately it's only February now, so you can't see them at all."

"Blue tears? What's that?" someone in the crowd asked casually.

Shen Mingchao turned his head and explained, "It's a type of plankton in the sea that emits blue fluorescence when stimulated by external factors. When they gather in large numbers, the entire sea surface turns into a blue galaxy, which is particularly beautiful. However, this phenomenon can usually only be seen in spring and summer."

"It's alright." Xie Yuchen turned his head and smiled faintly, "If you want to come after spring, I'll accompany you."

While the two were talking, the people from Wu Shan Ju had already set up temporary tables and chairs and were calling others over. They also placed several plates of peanuts and wine on the tables.

This wine has quite a history.

Its name is "Yuanshan Jing'er". It is a specialty of Xilaimian and is brewed by the Iron Triangle.

The three of them initially just brewed the wine casually because they had some free time. Later, Shen Mingchao specifically looked up some information and gave some suggestions, which the trio adopted. They then improved the wine, making it even more fragrant and mellow.

Even more surprisingly, after Shen Mingchao filmed the wine-making process, edited it into a vlog, and posted it online, it inexplicably became a minor hit.

This has led many people to come and buy the wine, both online and offline. However, homemade wine definitely takes time, and it quickly became in short supply.

Wu Xie came up with a solution: limit the quantity of alcohol that could be purchased and set a rule that the alcohol could only be purchased in cash at the store, making it harder to buy.

They brought the drinks, not intending to drink until they were completely drunk, but more to enjoy the atmosphere.

However, when Shen Mingchao handed over the cup, everyone immediately became alert and tried to refuse it with various excuses.

According to the statements of the three members of the Aluminum Triangle, who were previously victims, Shen Mingchao was a drunkard who would go on drunken rampages and black out.

Under such circumstances, no one dared to let him touch alcohol.

Shen Mingchao understood what everyone meant, and reluctantly put down her wine glass. Knowing her own alcohol tolerance, she didn't say anything more.

It's best to stay away from these kinds of men's drinking parties.

She turned to face the sea and made a video call.

It was Li Cu, who was far away in Beijing.

The brother and sister exchanged a few pleasantries as usual, catching up on each other's recent situations. Although they had already communicated these matters in writing, this was how family members always chatted.

Shen Mingchao deliberately told this to Li's mother.

Of course, some interesting stories were also told.

For example, during the New Year's Eve dinner, only one out of hundreds of dumplings contained a coin. This was Shen Mingchao's suggestion, intended as a lucky draw. However, some people came up with a wicked idea: whoever found the coin in their dumpling had to wash the dishes.

Then.....

The evil forces have taken hold.
