Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

Shi Li slapped the boy's arm hard, but he seemed unconscious and refused to let go.

It was not until the neighbors had finished setting off their firecrackers and the surroundings had briefly returned to silence that he slowly loosened his hand.

Shi Li immediately took a step back and took a deep breath. She breathed in too quickly and was choked by the cold air, causing her to cough repeatedly.

While coughing, she looked at the boy warily, frowning and asking, "Who are you?"

It's impossible for him to be an ordinary person at first glance.

It’s really strange. I thought I traveled through to an ordinary era of the last century, but how come existence beyond science appeared?

Huh?

Why did she say "again"?

Shi Li's mind was a little blank. Before she could figure out what was going on, she saw the young man gently open his lips and utter a word -

"Year."

Oh...it’s the New Year.

Who?

It took Shi Li three seconds to realize what the boy in front of him was talking about. She widened her eyes unconsciously, "You said you are Nian? The Nian beast?"

There was a brief silence, with only the sound of Shi Li's breathing. Even the pigs in the pigsty became quiet.

The boy didn't seem to understand why Shi Li looked so surprised and just nodded.

Suddenly, someone started setting off firecrackers, and the crackling sound broke the short silence.

Without any hesitation, the young man once again tightly grasped Shi Li's waist.

Being locked up for the second time, Shi Li finally understood the reason. The boy was afraid of the sound of firecrackers. In order to save his waist, Shi Li reached out and covered the boy's ears.

Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers was half blocked out.

Shi Li clearly felt that the force around her waist had weakened a lot. She breathed a sigh of relief and continued to cover the boy's ears, waiting for the sound of firecrackers to completely end.

Fortunately, every household was not wealthy at that time, so the sound of firecrackers was not too long-lasting and would not stop all night long.

According to legend, the Nian Beast is a vicious beast, but the boy doesn't look like a vicious beast at all. Shi Li looked at this fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy and couldn't feel too much fear.

When the surroundings returned to silence, the two looked at each other.

"What are you going to do now?" Shi Li was really curious. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to talk to the Nian beast face to face.

The boy was silent when asked.

After a long while, he answered, “I don’t know.”

He is the last Nian beast in the world. No one knows when and where he was born. After he became conscious, he has been hiding in the deepest part of the mountains.

But today, I was driven out of the mountains by an unknown force and came to this villa, and was frightened by the sound of firecrackers.

He didn't even know what it was. He was frightened from the bottom of his heart just by hearing it. He finally found a dark place farthest away from the sound, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Shi Li.

Shi Li looked at his confused look and didn't think that this was the legendary Nian beast. She couldn't help but ask, "If you're hungry, you won't eat me, right?"

"No, I don't eat people." The boy shook his head subconsciously. He had never known what hunger was, but he also knew that he would never eat people.

The boy's calm look made Shi Li unable to doubt.

A gust of wind blew over, making her shiver. Then she realized that she had been standing in the snow and ice for a long time. If she stood any longer, she would catch a cold and get sick.

"Well, are you going back now?" Shi Li tactfully ordered the young man to leave.

The boy looked at her, said nothing, then turned and walked out the door.

The figure quickly disappeared into the darkness and could no longer be seen.

The whole experience seemed like a dream.

Shi Li rubbed her eyes, looked at the pigpen again, turned around and trotted back into the house.

After warming up for a while, her brain started working again.

"I just... met the Nian beast?"

[Yes, it’s a very pretty one… a Nian beast 0 0]

[He also hugged you! ]

[Host, can I wear it next time? I want a hug too! ! ! ]

Shi Li curled her lips and ignored the irrelevant public screen.

Meeting the Nian beast was like a dream.
