don't mess with me

Chapter 259 The Nian Beast Is Not a Dog

To say that I have experienced all kinds of weird and dangerous things this year, first the doll talked, then Liu Xiaoliu who landed face first, the three-eyed monster Yang Jian, and the red spider spraying spider silk from the navel, but what happened today But it really freaked me out when a dog spoke—wait, it said it was a year?
Everyone in the room heard someone talking at the door, Yang Jian said: "The dog owner is here?"

I mumbled: "Uh... no, it's the dog itself..."

The beast that claimed to be Nian strode in, and said dissatisfiedly: "I said I am not a dog, I am Nian!"

Everyone was surprised by this situation, Liu Xiaoliu was the first to ask in a daze, "Nian?"

The beast frowned and said emphatically, "That's right, Year!" It added, "What day is it today?"

Before I could speak, Lu Dongbin suddenly said: "Oh——Chinese New Year, you are the Nian Beast?"

Nian Beast said dissatisfied: "Yes, what you are living today is me!"

I also slapped my thigh and said, "I didn't expect it to be you!" The so-called New Year is a verb, which is a phrase with a verb-object structure. Everyone knows more or less about the origin of the year. The beast of the year harmed people everywhere, and its temperament was extremely cruel. Later, someone accidentally discovered that this monster was afraid of three things-red, fire, and loud noise. After posting red couplets, the Nian Beast fled in terror, and people won a great victory for the rest of their lives. After being happy, they began to visit relatives and friends to visit each other. This day became a festive day, which is also the origin of the Chinese New Year.I never expected that the legendary Nian beast would come to our house on New Year's Eve.There is a witty saying, "You treat me like it's Sunday", so that's good, Sunday came by itself.

Liu Xiaoliu leaned down to look at Nian Beast, laughed and said, "So you look like this? How can you speak human language?"

I wondered, "Have you never seen it in the sky before?"

Liu Xiaoliu shook her head: "We don't pass the new year, and it's like you who live in the city have never seen a Tibetan mastiff." She reached out her hand to touch the curly hair on the head of the Nian beast, and the Nian beast shook its head vigorously and said: "Be respectful!"

Liu Xiaoliu covered his mouth with a smile and said, "You have a pretty big temper."

I squatted in front of Nian Beast and said, "This...what should I call you, Brother Nian, how did you come here?"

Nian Beast still frowned and said: "Isn't this what you call a tradition? Of course I have to come to the world to celebrate the New Year, otherwise how would you live?"

I whispered: "Oh, it's like giving away Stove King on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month."

Nian Beast said: "Close the door first, it's too loud!" The firecrackers were at their most intense moment, and the hallway was full of echoes.

I closed the door and said, "Are you really afraid of the sound of cannons?"

Nian Beast said: "I just like quietness!" This bastard's mouth is quite stiff, and anyone can see that it has a clear sense of fear of loud voices.

Lu Dongbin said, "You haven't answered the question yet, how did you get here?"

Nian Beast said: "I smell that there are similar people from the heavens here, but I didn't expect there to be."

Yang Jian scratched his head and said, "Smell? The same kind? You mean Roaring Sky Dog?" It seems that Lu Dongbin and Yang Jian are not familiar with Nian Beast either.

Nian Beast said angrily: "I'm talking about you guys! I repeat, I'm not a dog!"

We exchanged glances with each other, we couldn't help laughing, and we all roughly guessed what happened - Nian Beast, as a tradition of the new year, descended from the heavens, fled in embarrassment amidst the sound of firecrackers, and accidentally discovered Because of the existence of Yang Jian and others, because they were barely half of the same kind, they ran into them in a panic.

I asked it: "Is the legend true?"

Nian Beast asked, "What do you mean?"

"You cannibalism, why don't people wait to see you?" Now we say that Chinese New Year is a happy thing, but if the legend is true, it means that the purpose of people doing this is Intimidation and armed drills for self-protection, if Nian Beast really has a bad habit, I have to ensure my own safety first...

Nian Beast said helplessly: "Half-truth, half-false. When I went to the village and ate two chickens, they beat gongs and drums to scare me. Later, it developed into this, and human beings are too boring." To be honest. There is always a sense of drama when a dog-shaped monster spits out human words, and it always feels like its owner is talking to you.According to what it said, it was nothing more than doing a little weasel thing, but people didn't have much knowledge at that time, and there should be no holidays at that time. Qu Yuan hadn't jumped into the river yet, and there was no such thing as Mid-Autumn Festival. We urgently need to make a universal celebration Days, so there is a Chinese New Year talk.

I said hesitantly: "Then I would like to express my apologies to you on behalf of human beings." .

Nian Beast squatted on the ground and looked around, not sure if he accepted my apology.

I tentatively asked, "Are you eating or drinking? How can I appear to be nicer to you?"

Nian Beast looked up at me: "What do you have to eat?"

There are all kinds of fruits and melon seed candies at home, but I thought to myself that a master who steals chicken may not be interested in these. I glanced and found the dog bowl of the Xiaotian dog. I scooped up a bowl of dog food with a bowl Put it in front of Nian Beast and said, "You try this?"

Nian Beast said reservedly: "What is this?"

"This...is a kind of local food." I don't know how to introduce it, because it seems that Nian Beast still cares about being mistaken for a dog, so I can't mention the word dog food.

Nian Beast lowered his head and sniffed it. He obviously became interested in dog food very quickly. He ate the whole bowl of dog food in two gulps. Xiaotian Dog took a few steps forward very unhappily. Said: "He is a guest from afar, you must know how to be modest."

Everyone laughed and Mimi watched Nian Beast devouring it, Liu Xiaoliu laughed and said, "He also said that he is not a dog."

Nian Beast finished eating a bowl, looked up at me and said, "Is there any more?"

"Yes, yes, it's enough to eat." I hurriedly filled it up.

Nian Beast nodded politely: "You eat too."

I quickly waved my hands: "Don't look outside."

Nian Beast ate another bowl of dog food, lay down on the ground and said, "I'll be leaving later."

Lu Dongbin muttered in a low voice, "After eating our two bowls of dog food, I want to leave. It's not so cheap."

Yang Jian also whispered: "Then what do you mean? The meat of this thing is not tasty, right? Besides, if we eat it, people will not be able to celebrate the new year?"

Lu Dongbin suddenly asked Nian Beast: "Brother Nian, your nose should be very good, right?"

Nian Beast asked vigilantly, "What do you want to say?"

Lu Dongbin said: "I would like to ask you to do me a favor. There was a Pixiu with us not long ago, but it disappeared later. Can you help us find it?" Wouldn't that be a powerful blow to the Yaozu?
Nian Beast tilted his head and said, "Pixiu?"

Lu Dongbin said: "I think since you can find us by smell, it's not difficult to find a Pixiu, right?"

Nian Beast said: "Pixiu has a smell of copper on it, so it shouldn't be hard to find it, but why should I help you?"

Li Jing said: "You ate us—"

Lu Dongbin hurriedly blocked his mouth, and apologized with a smile: "You came to us to explain that you treat us as friends, and we will not see you. We have admired your name for a long time when we were in heaven. We never thought that we could meet in the world. This is also true. It's fate."

Nian Beast said: "I have to go back before Yinshi, and now I just want to find a quiet place, don't bother me."

Yang Jian rolled up his sleeves and stood up, "You—"

I motioned him to sit down, and took out a neck bell and said: "Brother Nian, this is the first meeting as a gift, I'm sorry to bother you, but we have nothing else to do, you showed up at this time We have to be presumptuous, you are the savior given to us by heaven!" I bought that neck bell for Xiaotiangou, but Xiaotiangou was reluctant to wear it because it was too much of a hindrance, so I tied it around Nian Beast's neck Go up, rang the bell, touched the top of its head by the way, the Nian beast twisted its neck comfortably, and then made a reluctant look and said: "For your sake, I will give it a try. I can’t guarantee that it won’t work.”

"Great!" We stood up together and prepared to go.

Nian Beast suddenly frowned and stared at us suspiciously: "You don't think you're treating me like a dog?"

We looked at each other and shook our heads together, then chattered flattering words...

Nian Beast walked to the door and said, "Let's go, we don't have much time."

　Easter eggs are the year, isn’t that enough Easter eggs? ? ?
