"Brother Shanxie has worked hard today." Lu Shan approached, intending to go back with him.

"No." Shan Xie took another sip of wine and stood up.

"Let's go back together. Is the wine good?" Lu Shan thought to himself that he might be a seldom drinker.

"Delicious and sweet."

Shan Xie thought about it for a while.

Lu Shan and Shan Xie went home together, Shan Xie had done a day's work, washed and tidied up and came to dinner, eating an extra bowl of rice than usual.

The food on the New Year's Eve is plentiful, and the whole family sits together. This year, there are more Shan Xie, Rong Chezi and others, which makes it even more lively.

After eating and drinking, everyone went back to the hall to sit and chat. Lu Shan and Shan Xie were also listening to their chatter.Rong Chezi was teasing Lu Zhen.Xuzhuo was not present.

Master Lu drank a lot of wine tonight, his face was red, and he was talking about old things with his family.

"Will it be too boring?" Lu Shan whispered to Shan Xie beside him.He has heard these things many times since he was a child. Even if it is interesting, he has heard too much and lost interest.

Shan Xie shook his head: "No." He rarely experienced such a lively scene.

Lu Shan only listened to Shanxie but didn't talk, and he didn't get tired of looking at it.

He gave Shan Xie crispy fried taro shredded balls, and he could eat whatever Shan Xie got.

Speaking of which, Shan Xie is really pitiful.

Growing up alone in the mountains, it seems that he has never eaten the common dishes and specialties that are common in the mountain city.

In the past few days during the Chinese New Year, there are many kinds of Chinese New Year snacks, so Lu Shan gave him some of them for him to try.

Several times, Lu Shan held back and wanted to ask Shan Xie what he ate to grow up in the mountains. He looks so tall and strong, but he doesn't seem to know anything about these foods.

Lu Shan's family has no tradition of keeping the year old.Everyone had finished eating, drinking and chatting, so they went back to their rooms to sleep.

Before leaving, Lu Shan's father distributed lucky money to the children.

Even Shanxie took a share of the lucky money.

He was surprised and delighted, although no expression was shown on his face.

"There are still too few people. If this continues, I don't know when we will be able to finish digging." Just now at the dinner table in front of his parents, younger brother and others, Lu Shan said all the good things, and hid I didn't say anything bad about it.

Now only he and Shan Xie were walking on the promenade, and he couldn't help but confide in Shan Xie.

"Don't worry too much." Shan Xie walked beside him. He used to walk very fast, but he took one small step and Lu Shan needed two big steps to keep up.In order to take care of Lu Shan, he deliberately slowed down.

"I just hope this flood will come slowly..." They also dug faster.

"Take a good rest, you'll be fine. Panlong is a blessed place..." Shan Xie finished speaking in a calm tone, but Lu Shan felt extremely encouraged after hearing it.

He first went to the door of the room, stopped, and said goodbye to Shanxie: "Brother Shanxie, go to bed early." Today he has done a lot of work.

"Okay." Shan Xie waited for him to enter before turning around and leaving, but after slowly walking back to his room, he did not enter the inner room, and the quilt on the bed was still neat.

Lu Shan entered the room, but couldn't fall asleep again, so he got up, put on a big fleece jacket, and walked out of the room with the stove in his arms.

He was wandering aimlessly in the yard. Lu Zhen should be asleep now, so it's not easy to find him and play with him.

As he walked, Lu Shan saw a thin man sitting under the flower vine in the yard. Looking at the figure, he seemed to be Rong Chezi.

When he got closer, it turned out to be him.

He was not used to Rong Chezi who sat so quietly and didn't speak.

"Rong Chezi?"

Lu Shan called him softly.

Rong Chezi, who was sitting in a daze, was so frightened that he almost slipped off the wicker chair.

"Oh, Lu Shan, you scared me to death." When he saw that it was Lu Shan, he patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter with you, can't you sleep?" He asked.

"Uh, yes, I'm too full. Let's go out for a walk to digest the food." Rong Chezi patted the seat next to him, motioning for Lu Shan to sit beside him.Lu Shan sat down.

"Why don't you see Master Xu Zhuo?" Lu Shan knew that the two of them knew each other well, but Rong Chezi always detested Xu Zhuo and unilaterally said all kinds of bad words to him.

I had dinner this evening, and the burn did not appear.

"Ah, he, he has entered the mountain." Rong Chezi shrugged indifferently.

Lu Shan thought about it, and Rong Chezi suddenly came over and said in a low voice, "You should have seen it in that haunted house last time, right?"

"That demon monk can eat ghosts!" His voice rose unconsciously, as if he hated this person very much.

"...Yes, Master Xu Zhuo ate that evil ghost." Lu Shan didn't understand why Rong Chezi always looked so disgusted towards him.

"Really!" Rong Chezi seemed to have finally found a bosom friend, pulled Lu Shan and said, "This demon monk!"

"Ah, why? Master Xu Zhuo, he eats evil spirits. This is to eliminate harm for the people. Why is Rong Chezi so angry?" Although Master Xu Zhuo was indifferent, he still saved him.

"Who knows what demons and ghosts he will eat... This demon monk is definitely not human! Well, you know, I have seen him since I was a child. It has been more than ten years, and his appearance has not changed." Rong Che The son recalled, with a melancholy expression on his face, "My master said that the demon monk turned into this person, ghost and ghost because he ate ghosts and demons..."

"..." Nonsense, Master Xu Zhuo is just a tall and cold monk now.

"However, after eating ghosts, has his appearance really remained the same for more than ten years?"

"Yeah! I've seen him like this since I was a milk baby, and I'm already fifteen! He hasn't aged at all."

There was indeed something wrong, maybe it was as Rong Chezi said.

"Xu Zhuo went up the mountain tonight, do you know why?" Xu Zhuo must have greeted Rong Chezi before leaving.

"Hey, what else can I do? The demon monk went looking for something to eat." Rong Chezi showed concern, "Now he can't get enough of ordinary people's food, so he can only go up the mountain to eat ghosts..." Lu Shan said for a while cold back.

The face of the ugly ghost flashed in his mind, and he thought of the bones in the mountains that he had seen before, Lu Shan sighed.

Rong Chezi said in a softer voice: "I don't know when, that demon monk will be swallowed by the evil ghost..."

If you walk too much at night, you will encounter ghosts. If you eat too many ghosts, there is no guarantee that one day you will be eaten by stronger evil spirits.

Lu Shan agreed in his heart, and he also heard the worry in Rong Chezi's words.

Maybe, he is not here to digest food, but quietly waiting for Xuzhuo to come back.

I waited in fear, to see if I would come back after eating a ghost, or if I was eaten by a ghost and couldn't come back.

Lu Shan silently glanced at Rong Chezi, his small face was covered with layers of shadows in the night, but he could still see the sorrow and worry in his brows and eyes at a glance. Very different.

He listened to Rong Chezi talking for a while, talked with him, and sat quietly with him for a while.

"It's cold at night, I'll go back first, and you should rest earlier." Although Lu Shan said so, he knew in his heart that Rong Chezi would have to wait for Xu Zhuo to come back here before he could rest at ease.

He handed the warm hand stove to Rong Chezi for him to hold.

"Thank you very much." Rong Chezi thanked him, watched Lu Shan leave, and sat on the rattan chair with his back straight.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a loud crowing of a rooster in the distance, and occasional barking of dogs from far away.Rong Chezi was drowsy, trying to open his eyes.

In a daze, he watched a black shadow fall in front of him, completely covering the light of the moon, and he couldn't see the face of the person coming.Just after catching a glimpse of that shiny smooth head, he smiled.

The black shadow gently hugged him, his movements were very gentle, the person in his arms was very light and cold, he could only sigh and carry him back to the room.

On the second day, Lu Shan ran out in the middle of the night and sat with Rong Chezi for a long time, and only went back to his room to sleep late at night.I slept very well this time, and when I woke up, the sun had already penetrated through the screen window and shone on the quilt.

He was still thinking about lying on the bed for a while, but suddenly remembered that he had to go and see about the digging of the water channel, so he sat up immediately and quickly put on his clothes and robes.

I don't know how many more days there will be in such a clear day.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help speeding up his movements.

As soon as Lu Shan went out, he heard the sound of the door opening from the next door.

"...don't wait for me."

"Hmph, who came here to wait for you? Monk, don't think too beautifully, I just accidentally fell asleep outside!"

Rong Chezi and Xu Zhuo came out of the room one after the other.

Lu Shan: "..." He was thinking, should he retreat into the room and pretend he didn't see it?

"Also! Don't sneak into my room from now on! Uh... Lu Shan." When he saw Lu Shan, Rong Chezi, who was blown up into the air, was instantly stunned.

"Morning. Rong Chezi, Master Xuzhuo. Happy New Year." Lu Shan pretended not to know anything and didn't want to see the truth, and greeted him calmly.

"Happy New Year! In the new year, I wish you peace and happiness, and everything will be worry-free." Rong Chezi smiled, and two dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Happy Chinese New Year." Xu Zhuo nodded his head, as a response.

Lu Shan went to have breakfast with Rong Chezi and Xu Zhuo.

The kitchen is prepared with golden steamed meat cakes, yellow millet porridge, and bright red sweet cakes. On the first day of the new year, it is booming and flourishing.

Lu Shan drank the porridge and took a bite of the steamed cake, eating very happily.

He thought he wanted to see how the water channel was being dug, so he ate fast.Then he wiped his hands with a wet towel and said goodbye to the two of them.

The servant said that Shanxie got up early in the morning to go there.

Lu Shan asked him if he had eaten it, and the servant said that he drank three bowls of millet porridge, and the cake hadn't been steamed yet.

Lu Shan asked his servant to wrap three golden and crispy meatloaf in oiled paper, put them in his sleeves, and went to the place where the water channel was being repaired.

As expected, not many people came today, even less than yesterday morning.

"Master Lu, happy Chinese New Year!"

"Thank you, happy new year."

"They said that after the family prayed to the gods, they came to help." A man saw that Lu Shan came over in person again, fearing that he would worry that the waterway would not be completed in time, so he told him to listen.

"Good! You have worked hard."

He thought to himself, let Su Da come over, and give some red envelopes to everyone who is working during the meal and break.

He walked for a long time before seeing Shan Xie.

The author has something to say:

Rong Chezi: I have a special ability to recognize people.

Lu Shan: Oh?

Rong Chezi: The head that glows in the dark belongs to that demon monk!
