"Notice, urgent notice, firecrackers will be set off at ten o'clock tonight. There are firecrackers and fireworks in the house. It's best to keep it until four o'clock in the morning. The interval without firecrackers can only be half an hour. This is related to There are infectious diseases in Zhujiawa, those who have firecrackers should put more firecrackers, there are no children in the house, and those who have passed the children can not let them go..."

"Notice, notice, according to the notice from above, every household in the village will set off firecrackers starting at ten o'clock in the morning tonight. As much as there are, there are not many at home, and it can be set off once every half an hour, until four o'clock in the morning. This is a notice issued by the state, don't tell me not to carry it out, if someone doesn't release it, you will be fined at that time, don't blame me for not reminding, and, as mentioned above, this firecracker is related to whose family may be infected with vermilion An infectious disease like that of Jiawa, if your mother's family gets infected, I will leave the whole family..."

"Notification, notification, emergency notification..." At nearly ten o'clock in the evening, the sound of loudspeakers sounded in more than a dozen villages under Xiaozhuang Town.

When the loudspeaker yelled, the villagers in all the villages under Xiaozhuang Town were stunned, but thinking that it was related to their lives, almost every household took action.Oh, including those who have no children at home. After all, it is an infectious disease. If you have no children, you still have yourself. If you are unlucky and get infected, it is not a game.

As for those who bought few firecrackers at the beginning because they were stingy, and after learning that they could not set off firecrackers, they made fun of others for buying too many firecrackers. , There are no firecrackers and fireworks, and throwing cannons will do.Anyway, it's a cannon at a glance.

Nearly ten o'clock, in each village, I don't know which one was ahead of schedule, or the firecrackers blew on time, and then the entire Xiaozhuang Town and more than a dozen villages under its jurisdiction instantly rang out deafening firecrackers.

People who buy more firecrackers are one after another, and the firecrackers are set off lively.There are not many firecrackers to buy, but those who are not bad are smart enough to hang a firecracker and a firework, which is poor.As for the families with too few firecrackers, people are not lonely.People cut long-hanging firecrackers into small pieces, and they come on after a while. Although the crackling is short, it also means that they have let it go.

"Oh, it's New Year's Eve, it's New Year's Eve!" On Zhujiawa's side, as the loudspeaker yelled, before ten o'clock, someone's child couldn't help but took out the sky cannon he bought early and set it off.Then more and more children or young people joined the party, and just after ten o'clock, the whole village was full of firecrackers, which can be described as neat.

Zhang Jin didn't fall behind. The warriors brought back by Dongfang Yao were each hung with ten whips, and they were carried around the village and released.Where the sound of firecrackers is low, where to put them off, anyway, the sound of firecrackers in the village cannot be stopped.

It doesn’t matter if there are no firecrackers at the garrison in the paddy field. Some warriors who know how to whip directly got a rope, but the whip swayed back and forth to hear the sound.

"It's so noisy!" In the dark Beimang Mountain, something was awakened by the sound of firecrackers shaking the entire Beimang Mountain, "Moo! Is the human New Year's Eve? The sound of firecrackers is too loud! It can actually kill my old cow!" They were all woken up. Haha! It seems that the prosperous age of human beings is coming again... I don't know what kind of master I will meet when I wake up this time.... Go out and see?"

"My lord." In a certain valley tens of miles away from the strange sound of cows, a few black figures flashed across the air, and then there was a chirping voice, "It's okay, it's okay, my lord When we woke up, we saw a reddish-purple light emerging from the cliff over there."

"What?" With a fluttering sound, a pleasant female voice sounded in the dark forest, "How is it possible? No..., what kind of sound is this?"

"It's firecrackers."

"It's fireworks."

"All the villages outside the mountain are setting off firecrackers. They celebrate the New Year."

"Aren't they not allowed to set off firecrackers? Whoever gave them the right, do they all want to die?"

"Lord..."

"Shut up, clean up, and withdraw first."

In the Shangqing Palace, a middle-aged Taoist priest who looked about 50 to [-] years old was awakened by the deafening sound of firecrackers and fireworks explosions outside the mountain. He walked outside the door and jumped to the front of the mountain gate.

The constantly flickering fireworks outside the mountain reflected his face. There was no expression on his face, but he could vaguely feel a little dignified.

"Senior Brother..." The cold mixed with icy snow particles hit the Taoist priest's face heavily, waking up the silent Taoist priest, but he vaguely heard the Taoist priest whispering words, "...Treasure it."

According to the countermeasures that Dongfang Yao and Lieutenant General Shen had discussed before, Major General Qin first secretly called the people in charge of various villages under Xiaozhuang Town, and then asked the guards to issue a notification at the same time when it was approaching ten o'clock.

After the notice was issued, Major General Qin never left his office. Because of the urgency of the matter, he was not sure whether the villages under Xiaozhuang Town could abide by it.So I've been very nervous.It wasn't until Zhu Jiawa and the guards received the recovery call that they calmed down.

"Chief, please have something to eat." A personal guard came in with a bowl of steaming noodles. On top of the noodles that night, there were two poached eggs and several pot-packed pork that had obviously been cooked.

Major General Qin just got good news, and has not received other arrangements from Lieutenant General Shen for the time being, and he has been busy all afternoon and one night, so he is really hungry right now.However, his eyes lit up when he saw the noodles brought by the guard and what was on the noodles.

"This……"

"Hey!" The guard grinned, "The two girls in the office cooked it for you. They said that you were so busy that you even forgot to eat the food that was delivered to you, so they took the oily meat you sent tonight and left it unfinished." Added noodles and eggs and boiled."

Major General Qin paused in his heart, then smiled to himself.After a while, he stretched out his hand to see the bowl in Guo Wei's hand and said, "Thank them for me and let them rest early."

"Yes." The guard gave a military salute, turned around and retreated.

There wasn't a lot of oily meat in the bowl. I don't know if there was only so much left, or if the other party only put this in order to make him nutritionally balanced.Major General Qin didn't think any more, just lowered his head and started to eat.

With the crackling sound of various high and low firecrackers, or the sound of fireworks, Major General Qin felt that this bowl of noodles was particularly heart-warming and sweet.

"Ah!" After eating a bowl of noodles, Major General Qin let out a burst of comfort, and the door of the office was quietly pushed open in front of him.

Daoist Mingguang's harmonious smiling face appeared at the door: "Daoist Mingguang? You haven't gone to rest yet?"

Daoist Mingguang smiled, Major General Qin only felt that Daoist Mingguang's eyes seemed to be bent, and his heart just rose for a while, why did these eyes look so strange, and he lost consciousness.

"Ring, ring, ring—" the phone rang in Major General Qin's office, but it was a pity that there was no one in the office, even though the phone rang for a long time, five people answered it.

"What's going on? What is Qin Mian doing?" On the other side of the phone, Lieutenant General Shen frowned and said to himself.Just when he put down the phone, the phone rang again, "...What did you say, Qin Mian is gone?"

When Zhang Jin arrived at Xiaobailou, it was already 10 minutes later. Although his actions had always been fast, the communication at this moment was too backward.

Lieutenant General Shen stood at the door of Qin Mian's office, waiting anxiously for him. Seeing him appearing in the corridor, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry. I asked you to come to this matter now. But I think Qin Mian's matter must be related to this incident."

Zhang Jin smiled lightly and nodded.But he didn't say anything.Although his cultivation level is much higher than that of Lieutenant General Shen, he is immature and has lived among ordinary people all year round. It is really difficult to face Lieutenant General Shen who is actually in his fifties or sixties. Enter the role of a master, put yourself in a high position, and then sit on an equal footing with others.

Therefore, although he felt that it was nothing to help Lieutenant General Shen, he couldn't handle things with ease like Dongfang Yao.

After all, Lieutenant General Shen is an old man. Seeing Zhang Jin's nervous expression that he couldn't hide, he knew whether the child could communicate well, and he didn't feel that the other party was rude because he didn't talk to him.

Besides, now is not the time to be rude to others, Qin Mian's life is the most important thing.

Zhang Jin was let into Major General Qin's office, and everything in that office remained as it was before Qin Mian disappeared.

Because the door of the house was always closed and the windows were closed, he could even smell the faint noodle fragrance in the office.

However, in the noodle fragrance, Zhang Jin also smelled another smell.In an instant, a shadow of a person whom he had only met once flashed in his mind.

"No wonder." Zhang Jin just stood at the door and didn't go in. After looking around the whole office, she murmured, "So it's really them?"

them!who?Lieutenant General Shen looked at Zhang Jin, frowned and asked, "Mr. Zhang, have you and Mr. Dongfang been suspicious?"

Zhang Jin looked at Lieutenant General Shen, pursed her lips, and frowned. Looking at the people in Major General Qin's office at the moment, she felt that there were not many people, so she said: "Brother Yao said, this matter may be related to the Shangqing Palace, even if it is related It’s not that big, it’s also involved.”

"Shangqing Palace..." Lieutenant General Shen repeated in a murmur.
