do you see the horns on my head

The next night, New Year's Eve.

Although trapped in this dark underground, the exiled members of the third group of the Exorcist Office still sat around the dining table, watching the Spring Festival Gala, cooking hot pot and eating special food made by Ao Ze.

The spicy hot pot was bubbling, the host on TV threw out bad jokes one after another, Xiaoyue was teased by the cross talk, her pigtails were flying around, and everyone chatted and drank very lively.

But when the TV showed a skit about going home during the Spring Festival, Xiaoyue smiled and suddenly shut up, and then fell silent, staring at the TV and poking her own bowl with chopsticks.Heinrich was careful, and immediately noticed that Lin Xiaoyue was not in the right state, and he didn't care about the soup of the meatballs sticking to the corner of his mouth, and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoyue, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Xiaoyue said a little awkwardly: "Every year at this time, the three groups of our action celebrate the New Year together. The group leader will give us big red envelopes. But now... oh. I don't know that this year the group leader will be one People, how do you celebrate the New Year?" Xiaoyue stirred the fat sheep in the bowl with chopsticks, and suddenly felt that even her appetite was not that good.

Bai Cuihua sat beside Lin Xiaoyue, wrapped her arms around her shoulders, and comforted her in a low voice.She watched Lin Xiaoyue grow up. Her immediate family member is only a grandfather in her hometown. Because of her abnormal health, her relatives ignored her, and her classmates also excluded her. She couldn't even go to middle school normally.To her, Ji Danchen is not only the team leader, but also like a big brother.For her, Action Three Group is another home.

Harsh laughter came from the TV, and Bai Cuihua's well-shaped eyebrows slightly frowned.

One year spent similar, each year is different.

She was also recruited by Ji Danchen to the third action team back then, and she was also the first team member of the third action team.Although he kept saying that this was just a job to pay for his mother's sins, but after all these years of life and death together, we still have a different friendship.Especially for monsters like them who were originally wandering around, the Demon Elimination Office meant a shelter.

It's a pity that the current Demon Elimination Office is no longer what it was when she first joined.

"Who told him to disregard right and wrong and abandon us. Ji Danchen is a stupid human being, big pig's hoof!" Ying Chaoyang jumped up and jumped onto the TV, his tail hanging down to block the hard-working actors on TV, criticizing condescendingly.Two-legged beasts are two-legged beasts, they usually look very powerful, but at the critical moment, they were not bound by the friendship between Lao Shizi and his teacher, so they abandoned them, how stupid!

"You are not allowed to say that about the team leader!" Lin Xiaoyue put down her chopsticks with a "snap", staring at Ying Chaoyang with her big eyes.

"What's the matter? Why can't I tell the truth?" Ying Chaoyang had never been yelled at by Lin Xiaoyue before, and he blew up with a "meow".

"The team leader, the team leader must have a hard time!" Lin Xiaoyue blushed and uttered such a sentence.Ying Chaoyang laughed outright, licked his paws self-consciously, and squinted at Lin Xiaoyue, with a look of contempt and cynicism.

"I'm full, I don't want to eat." Lin Xiaoyue was unhappy at first, and even more unbearable to cope with Chaoyang's anger, she stood up from her seat, walked straight to her room, and closed the door with a bang.

"Eat first, I'll go and see Xiaoyue." Bai Cuihua got up and left in a hurry.Only Ao Ze, Heinrich, Nan Peng, Huang Sanye and Li Jia were left at the table, and the atmosphere was awkward for a while.

"Hmph, it's fine if she doesn't eat, I can eat more." Ying Chaoyang meowed, jumped from the TV to the dining table with precision, stretched out his claws to hold the colander, fished out the beef from the boiling pot and swallowed it in one bite. Who knew that because the beef was too hot, Ying Chaoyang made a fuss by jumping three feet high, and then fell into the boiling hot pot accurately. When Heinrich scooped it up, his golden hairs all over his body turned into spicy red hairs. Wet soaked cat.Fortunately, he is not an ordinary cat, otherwise he would have been scalded and sent to the hospital.

"What's all this?" Heinrich hurriedly carried the dejected hot pot cat to the bathroom, Li Jia looked at the hot pot that was no longer edible, and said with a mournful face.In the hot pot is the food he snatched from the aunts in the vegetable market by resorting to the big method of shrinking!

"Just eat your own. Haven't you heard of the darkness before dawn?" Ao Ze reached out and took out a piece of casserole beef that he made, and put it into his mouth calmly.

"You don't want to eat any of these, do you?" Nan Peng didn't care about the awkwardness of the people from the Demon Elimination Office. He pointed to the hot pot and asked Ao Ze, Huang Sanye and Li Jia. After getting affirmative answers from the two, he cheered, All the food was sucked into the stomach in an instant.

"Oh my God, I can't pass this year." Li Jia sighed ten thousand times in his head, but he couldn't show it in front of Ao Ze, so he could only eat beef casserole silently.

When Heinrich finally released Ying Chaoyang, who had bathed and became fragrant again, from the bathroom, the dishes on the table had already been cleared away.

Ying Chaoyang probably felt a little ashamed, so he nestled in a corner of the sofa, half-closed his eyes and fell asleep, Heinrich walked up to him, and whispered to him: "You just go and apologize to Xiaoyue, she has been so long. Didn't come out."

Ying Chaoyang simply buried both ears in his paws.

Heinrich sighed, touched the sore shoulders of the cat that had just been washed, and sat back beside Ao Ze.Ao Ze touched his head and said, "You have worked hard, sit down and rest."

"This is my first Spring Festival in China." Heinrich said dejectedly: "It turned out like this. I couldn't even get out the door, and now everyone is scattered again." As he said, Charmander felt Heaviness on both sides of his shoulders, it turned out that Ao Ze put his two hands on it, loosening his shoulders for him.

"What do you want, tell me and I'll give it to you." Ao Ze said.

"Really?" Heinrich looked up in surprise, his green eyes were full of light.

"Of course it's true, a New Year's gift for you." Ao Ze slightly raised the corners of his lips.

"Then——I want to watch the fireworks. I haven't seen the fireworks in Huaxia yet." Little Charmander thought for a while, and said excitedly, but immediately he lowered his head: "But we can't go up, let alone go out to watch it." Fireworks."

"Why not, let's go now." After Ao Ze finished speaking, he stood up and stretched out his hand to Little Charmander.

"I'm going too!" Nan Peng's ears were sharp, and he quickly got up from the dining table and said to Ao Ze.

"You stay here." Ao Ze held the hand of Little Charmander, ruthlessly uttered this sentence to Nanpeng, and then led Heinrich towards the iron ladder.

"My ancestors, where are you two going?" Li Jia quickly turned his head and asked nervously.

"Let's go up to watch the fireworks, don't worry, no one will find us." Ao Ze said.

Now that Master Ao Ze has spoken, Li Jia naturally can't say anything, he can only droop his two character eyebrows, and look at Bai Hu and Huang Sanye in blank dismay.well!Passed this year.

"Ao Ze, do we have to hold hands all the time?" Heinrich couldn't help asking, but Ao Ze still didn't let go of his hand when they reached the iron ladder.

"Take my hand, and the people from the Demon Elimination Office will not detect you here." Ao Ze climbed to the ground first, pulled the little charmander up, and then put more force on the palm of the little charmander: " So hold tight."

Ao Ze led Heinrich to the courtyard, because it had been closed for a long time, the courtyard was very deserted, and fallen leaves covered the courtyard.The ever-burning lamp in front of the Dragon King sculpture illuminated a small open space in front of the temple through the glass windows, and Ao Ze took Heinrich to stand in the only light.

"The wall is so high, and fireworks are banned in the city. How can we see it?" Heinrich raised his head and looked longingly at the sky, which was glowing in dark blue due to the perennial light pollution. It is gray and white, and there are no traces of fireworks.

"Close your eyes first." Ao Ze put a hand on Heinrich's eyes.

"Ah?" Heinrich didn't understand, so he closed his eyes obediently. Ao Ze only felt two small fans across his palm, and the people under him even breathed lightly.

Heinrich felt his eyelids cool down, and the hands covering his eyes had been released.

He opened his eyes and looked up.The night was darker, like a flawless blue-violet velvet, dotted with sparse but bright stars.Ao Ze pointed his finger upwards, and suddenly, an orange firework as big as a peony rose into the sky, blooming layers of petals in the night, and then, red, green, and blue fireworks rushed to the sky. It jumped into the sky, setting off a piece of dark blue like a sea of ​​fireworks.

"Ao Ze, look quickly, that one is the most beautiful!" Heinrich's face was illuminated by fireworks, and his green eyes were shining, pointing at a certain place in the sky, he shouted excitedly to Ao Ze .

"It's full of stars, it's full of flowers, it's colorful." Ao Ze held Heinrich with one hand, pointed to the sky with the other, and introduced them to Heinrich.

With the sound of a cannon-ball being fired, a firework flew into the sky, and then exploded in the sky, turning into countless shining golden hearts, covering the entire sky, instantly extinguishing all the fireworks around. Overshadowed by the eclipsed.Heinrich opened his mouth, completely dumbfounded.

The fireworks were like a curtain call, and they burned for a full minute. After all the golden hearts disappeared, the sky returned to the deep blue tranquility.

Oze covered Heinrich's eyes with his palms, leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Happy first New Year."

Heinrich felt his eyelids heat up, and when he opened his eyes again, the sky had returned to that grayish-white color, and the sound of car horns in the distance and the sound of children dropping cannons also entered his ears as if breaking the barrier.

When the two were still standing in place, Li Jia suddenly ran out of the hut behind the temple in a hurry, shouting as he ran, "Master Ao Ze, Heinrich, you go back quickly. That Team leader Ji Danchen sent a message, everyone is waiting for you now!"
