Chapter 320: The Festive Ambiance

“Lady Qin, you can pretend to forget. The new year’s meal is supposed to have a festive atmosphere, otherwise it would be boring.”

Aunt Liu couldn’t help but say, and even Uncle Liu also smiled slightly.

“Mother, someone in the village ran to the village entrance to wait for the bell to ring. Can we go and see?”

The three of them were making dumplings and talking in the house when San Bao and Tang Tang suddenly ran back holding hands. They asked Mo Ruyue excitedly as soon as they entered the door.

“Ring the bell?”

Mo Ruyue knew that in her previous life, during Chinese New Year, there would be a live broadcast of a large-scale party throughout the country. At 12 o’clock, the clock would be struck. She didn’t expect that after transmigrating to this world, even a small mountain village would have such a ritual.

“Originally, our village didn’t ring the bell. Everyone would wait for the first day of the new year to go to the temple ten miles away to burn the first incense. Later on, the previous village chief said that those big cities would arrange bell-striking ceremonies on New Year’s Eve, so we can also join in the fun. After that, there was this rule.”

Aunt Liu also explained to MO Ruyue the reason for striking the bell.

“So that’s how it is. Since it’s for the sake of liveliness and also to pray for blessings, then let’s go. But be careful, and don’t bring firecrackers with you. Come back quickly to eat dumplings after the bell rings. This is also very important.”

MO Ruyue immediately agreed to the two babies’ request, and then the two of them cheered and rushed over.

“Alright, don’t pounce on me. Be careful not to get flour all over your body again! ”

MO Ruyue didn’t accept the babies’ enthusiasm this time and directly reached out to stop the two of them. She then chased them away to play before continuing to make dumplings.

“Lady Qin, it’s almost time. You should accompany the babies and wait for the bell to ring. Leave this to me and Old Liu. We won’t delay the cooking of the dumplings.”

Aunt Liu suggested to MO Ruyue when it was almost time.

Strictly speaking, although MO Ruyue had married into the Qin family for a long time, this was the first time she had officially spent the new year with the babies. She should not be waiting for them at home, but should be welcoming the new year with them.

MO Ruyue originally wanted to decline, but after Aunt Liu’s persuasion, she finally changed her mind.

She immediately took off her apron and went to wash her hands. She casually took a cloak and draped it over her body. She said to Aunt Liu, “Then I’ll have to trouble Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu. I’ll go over now.”

Perhaps she had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, which was why she was so eager to leave, even full of joy.

The Liu couple looked at MO Ruyue’s back as she left, and the wrinkles on their faces stretched out with a smile.

“Master, do you think we should go with Lady Qin?” Aunt Liu could not help but ask Uncle Liu.

“Perhaps, it’s not a bad idea for us to follow them.”

When the bronze bell at the Qin Village entrance rang, a bloody massacre quietly began.

The restaurant that should have been brightly lit and bustling with people was now pitch black.

‘l’ne aoor or tne restaurant was wide open, ana no one was gomg In or out. ‘l’ne whole building was quiet, as if it was a different world from the hustle and bustle outside.

Drip, drip, drip

The sound of water dripping and the gurgling of water could be heard.

A man was staring at the closed door. One of his hands was hanging by his side, and the other was on the desk in front of him. His fingers were stiff from the force, and the place where they were pressed against the desk was white and bleeding. He even pressed deep cracks on the hard solid wood desk.

The smell of blood slowly spread, and the smell became stronger and stronger. The man’s face became uglier and uglier.

“So many people couldn’t stop him, but he still ended up here?”

He mumbled to himself as a bitter smile appeared in his eyes.

With a loud bang, a brilliant firework exploded in the night sky, followed by another burst of fireworks, illuminating the dark night sky as if it were daytime.

The man suddenly turned to look out the window, his pupils reflecting the fireworks outside, and sighed slightly.

The door opened quietly. A man in black was standing at the door. He seemed to be soaked in something, and the color of his clothes was particularly dark.

He walked in slowly, step by step, but the man sitting behind the desk seemed to be unaware of it, still turning his head and looking out the window in a daze.

“This seat was originally prepared for you.”

He suddenly opened his mouth, as if he was talking to himself.

“When you first came to this building, I knew that if I didn’t give you this seat, I wouldn’t be able to keep you. Perhaps they know me too well, so they’ve been eyeing you since long ago.”

“It’s not that I didn’t know, but I didn’t do anything. Instead, I allowed them to continue doing what they wanted. I also wanted to see if the person I had my eyes on was worthy of this position.”

“But what I didn’t expect was that you didn’t care about anything at all. So, even if I gave you the position directly, you would have just abandoned it like an old shoe.”

He said a long sentence, but the man who walked in did not seem to hear it. His face was expressionless, as if those words were like a gust of wind blowing past his ear, leaving no trace at all.

“Ah Ying, other than this, I’ve never treated you badly. You didn’t take their provocation to heart at all, so why did you suddenly come to our door and destroy everything?”

The man behind the desk turned his head again and stared at the man who had already walked to the desk.

The fireworks outside the window were getting more and more intense, reflecting his face. His cold and determined face was stained with blood, like a shura who had stepped into the human world from purgatory. Only his pair of eyes, which were as bright as the cold stars, reflected the fireworks in the sky, but they still could not be stained with a trace of warmth.

He still didn’t say anything, but his silence gave the man behind the desk an answer.

“You actually have a weakness?”

The man’s eyes widened, and he laughed out loud.

“I should have known. If I hadn’t touched your bottom line, why would you have killed all the people you saw as ants and destroyed everything so thoroughly to prevent a resurgence?”

“It’s a pity that I didn’t manage to grasp your weak spot.”

Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes suddenly popped out. The light in his eyes immediately dimmed and was covered with a thick layer of death.

“You talk too much.”

The man called Ah Ying finally responded, but it was only a short and cold four words.

Then, a cold light flashed, and a string of blood beads fell into the scabbard at his waist.

He didn’t read the dead man behind the desk but went straight to the bookshelf behind him.

There was a small white jade Buddha statue on the shelf. It seemed to have been touched many times, and the jade was particularly warm and delicate.

Ah Ying walked forward and turned the white jade Buddha. The bookshelf immediately split into two and slid silently to the sides. A two-foot groove was immediately revealed on the wall behind.

There was no gold, silver, or jewelry in it, only some books and account books. There was only a small red sandalwood box at the top..
