Chapter 391: New Year's Eve

Views:

After Hao Ren and the bearded four left the "Heaven", they did not teleport home directly, but teleported to the southern suburbs and prepared to walk back. First, Hao Ren wanted to take this opportunity to buy some New Year's goods. After all, the New Year is approaching, and this is the first time a group of aliens from his family are celebrating the New Year here. Get acquainted with the customs and customs of this place, at least stop thinking about living in a hut under the TV Tower...

When they stayed in Raven 12345 before, the Four King Kong had already undergone spiritual reshaping, and now they have no barriers to the language on the earth.

Although the southern suburbs are sparsely populated, the Chinese New Year is approaching after all, and many residents who went to work in the city or outside of the city have returned one after another, making the usually deserted streets lively, and the shops along the way are all Festive lanterns are hung, and there are various stalls selling New Year’s goods on the side of the road. Although the New Year is not yet, it is already full of strong New Year flavor. Hao Ren led four ascetic monks looking around and walked on the street, explaining to them what the Chinese New Year is all about.

The bearded man listened a little absent-mindedly, because he hadn't gotten rid of the inexplicable spiritual shock when he talked with Raven 12345 before. He didn't understand that this was a "symbolic" influence after believing in gods, so he was working hard at this time He checked whether there was something wrong with his belief in his own goddess. Hearing Hao Ren balabala next to him, he couldn't help muttering: "When I was talking to that alien god just now... I felt an inexplicable pressure. As a firm believer in the goddess, I shouldn't have any special reverence for other gods, could it be that Ability God has the power to suppress the spirit?"

Even now, when he mentioned Raven 12345, he still couldn't help but take a tone of awe.

Hao Ren thought about it, but he never felt any mental pressure from Raven 12345: "Is there such a thing? I was right next to you at the time, so I didn't feel it."

Of course, Hao Ren didn't feel it. The mental shock felt by the four bearded people was the result of their devout beliefs. In addition, when the four of them faced Raven 12345, they couldn't help but admit each other's god status in their hearts. Escape influence. But when did Hao Ren believe in that psychopath? In his mind, Raven 12345 was a funny comparison from the beginning, and he was immune to a little mental shock...

Fortunately, Raven 12345 is really funny. Otherwise, the disrespectful thoughts scrolling in Hao Ren's mind alone would be enough for him to be struck by thunder several times a day.

Speaking of which, the four king vajras were still wearing the tattered gray robes. These robes seemed to be more worn out after a few days. Walking on the street, they really attracted people's attention. Hao Ren was used to seeing them together and didn't feel much, but after walking on the street for a while, he realized that something was wrong.

Eyes from all around appeared frequently. Hao Ren just turned his head to look for the source of these sights when he saw an old lady walking towards him. It was Mrs. Li from the next street. She held Hao Ren's hand very familiarly. A flower bloomed from the wrinkles on his face: "Boy Hao, help the poor?"

Mrs. Li's mouth was the poorest that Hao Ren had ever seen before he knew the data terminal, and he immediately understood what was going on, and quickly waved his hands to explain: "No, no, these... um, these are my friends, from my hometown a while ago A disaster is coming, I just rushed here..."

He didn't dare to introduce them as distant relatives—none of the Four King Kongs looked Chinese!

After hearing this, Mrs. Li took a serious look at the bearded men and asked Hao Ren with special concern: "... Are you from Ukraine?"

Hao Ren shook his head and nodded: "Yes. Yes, there was a fierce battle over there... Even the mountains were leveled..."

Mrs. Li's face was full of horror: "Hey! That's terrible. These days, I heard my grandson say that something happened in Ukraine... By the way, you should remember to report to the police station. We have to prevent spies from infiltrating …”

The old lady was quite aware of this, and Hao Ren's face was covered with cold sweat. Nodding hurriedly: "Yes yes yes... you are busy, you are busy..." Seeing that the old lady still had something to say, Hao Ren hurriedly added: "These people can understand Chinese!"

The old lady straightened her face immediately, and drifted away like a normal person. Hao Ren knew in his heart that the news that his family had a few more international friends would have to spread to the five nearby districts and ten counties in a few days—the old lady loves to spread the word, and Mrs. Li has a lot of children and grandchildren. Scattered all over the surrounding…

Although the bearded man didn't quite understand what Ukraine meant, he still stepped forward and asked, "Did we cause you trouble?"

Hao Ren waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm used to it, and you guys are doing well. When Wang Daquan first lived here, it wasn't just the old lady who was alarmed. There were two old red soldiers on the street who were about to contact the local police to form a joint defense..."

The bearded man remembered the appearance of Yizaks in human form, and nodded in agreement: "Understandable. Even if he leaves us alone, he will be regarded as a key surveillance."

Hao Ren's mouth twitched twice, and he looked at the tattered clothes on the bearded men: "You may not like to hear a word: can this clothes be changed? The main reason for you is that this robe is too eye-catching. Go to the market It's easy to send someone to a rescue station."

Originally, he just said it casually, thinking that the Four King Kong would not agree. After all, what they advocate is "hard work", and this old clothes must have something to say, but he didn't expect that the bearded man nodded happily after hearing this. : "Okay, thank you in advance."

Hao Ren was very surprised: "Aren't you taking the route of penance? Doesn't changing new clothes conflict with penance?"

The bearded man is very inexplicable: "How can changing into new clothes affect penance? A mansion can nourish the body, food can please the mouth, beauty can soften the will, what good clothes can do? Isn't it just a layer of fabric, no matter how comfortable it is Where can it be affected?"

As soon as Hao Ren heard this, he felt that there was something wrong with this. He instinctively felt that good clothes can be considered a luxury, but after carefully thinking about what the bearded man said, he found that he was speechless: Yes, no matter how expensive the clothes are, they can only be enjoyed. Let others look good, but for these ascetic monks, the eyes of the world happen to be the most useless thing, and all the luxury and enjoyment based on the perspective of bystanders do not exist for them!

Hao Ren immediately had a deeper understanding of the true ascetic spirit of the Four King Kongs, but he was still a little curious: "If this is the case, why don't you change into better clothes?"

The bearded man looked down at his body and shrugged: "Because there is no money, this kind of clothes is the only thing that the church distributes."

Hao Ren: "..." He has never seen more honest guys than these ascetic monks in his life!

Immediately, he led the Four King Kong to a nearby clothing store, just in time for the year-end sale, and changed them all into clothes that fit the local environment and current solar terms at a very cheap price.

People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. After putting on new clothes, the Four King Kong immediately looked refreshed. The bearded man wore a Tang suit-style cotton padded jacket with that European face. Walking on the street, he was ready to invest. Like their international friends, the other three are more dignified than the other, maybe it's because of the years of Qingxiu that they have a certain calm and elegant demeanor that ordinary people don't have. Hao Ren even accidentally discovered that the young nun was a very beautiful sister—usually she didn't notice that she covered half of her face with a hood all day long!

The group bought a lot of things for the New Year, and then walked home calmly. This time, no one came up to ask Hao Ren if he had just returned from helping the poor in Ukraine. When he got to the door of his big house, Hao Ren found Lily and Vivienne standing in front of the door with big bags, and the latter was taking the key out of the bag to open the door. He called out from a distance: "Lily! Vivienne!" Wei An! Shopping here?"

Lily turned her head and saw Hao Ren, she immediately put her things on the ground happily and ran over: "Landlord, landlord! I bought a lot of things for Chinese New Year with the bat!"

Hao Ren frowned while walking forward with Lily: "Um... I just came back from shopping for the New Year."

"Buy again?" Vivian, a good wife and mother vampire, twitched her mouth in pain, "It costs a lot of money..."

Hao Ren quickly comforted Vivienne: "It's all right, it's Chinese New Year, we have a lot of people this year, let's celebrate! By the way, I have the year-end benefits from Raven 12345..."

As Hao Ren said, he opened the door and entered the house. He poured out all kinds of New Year's goods from his personal space or from the big and small packages Lily was carrying, pawning a table full of pawns and an extra floor. Finally, he took out a small box solemnly:

"Come and take a look, come and take a look, Hercules almost died on it back then... I brought a box back..." (to be continued~^~)
