Chapter 614: Bonfire banquet
Under the starry sky, beside the flowing river.
A bonfire was burning fiercely, the flames soaring into the sky, crackling and splas.h.i.+ng sparks.
On top of this huge bonfire, a huge Ghost Tiger was being turned and roasted. Outside the bonfire, there was a circle of men and women in Black combat uniforms.
The atmosphere of the bonfire banquet was much better than Jiang Xiao had imagined. Due to the characteristics of the guardians of the night, Jiang Xiao of course regarded them as a group of silent, quiet, and boring men and women.
Second last was a typical example. Back then, when she was teaching apprentices at Mount nocturnal disaster, she had also guided the two children in this direction. After all, they were Guardians of the Night and had to be able to withstand loneliness.
However, the atmosphere of the bonfire banquet was very lively. It was unknown if it was because they were old friends.
It was said that those who were on break, those who were on s.h.i.+ft, and those who could come had all come.
A tattered guitar and a soldier who would interrupt the performance from time to time because he wanted to drink made Jiang Xiao feel emotional.
Jiang Xiao wasn’t an emotional person like Fang Xingyun, but the scene was indeed fascinating.
Under the vast galaxy of stars, among the dancing fireflies, the bonfire shone on the faces of the soldiers. There would always be people joining in the song and singing along, and there would always be people who were lost in thought and buried their heads in silence.
Jiang Xiao was like a person who appreciated oil paintings as he stood far away beside the slowly flowing river.
The soldier holding the guitar looked to be around 30 years old. He was a little drunk and his eyes were blurred. He held a wine bag in his hand and took a sip of wine, but it was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by his companion.
He laughed heartily, wiped the water from his mouth, and continued his unfinished song.”
“The flowers in the morning and the wine in the evening, the lonely me after the wind and rain, do you have an intoxicating smile.. Wild goose flying over the chrysanthemums and sticking it all over my head …”
There were more than 20 people at the bonfire banquet, but Jiang Xiao could still easily find second last.
At this moment, she was sitting on the gra.s.s, her body slightly leaned back, her hands supporting her back on the gra.s.s, one leg arched, and her long Phoenix eyes followed the wine bag as she sized up the familiar figures.
The light of the fire reflected off her face. In the melodious and beautiful song, she vaguely felt something and turned around.
Jiang Xiao looked away in time, only to see a soldier staggering towards him.
‘The back view of time is so leisurely, and the past comes back to my heart … Hey, meat, meat! Don’t s.n.a.t.c.h it, haha!”
“Sing! Continue singing!”
“Hurry up! Hurry up!”
In the midst of the jeers and jeers, the song continued,””In the sea of people that come and go day and night, people from afar wave at you … Wine! Wine!”
Jiang Xiao looked at the soldier in front of him silently. He knew this person, hou zihou, who should be a Captain.
Hou zihou held a wine bag in his left hand and a dagger in his right. A large piece of meat had been cut off from the dagger.
“Little brother, I haven’t seen you in three days. You’ve put on your mask.” Hou zihou chuckled and said.
“Thank you,” he said. Jiang Xiao said politely, but he raised his palm in front of him to indicate that he didn’t want to eat.
Hou zihou stood in front of Jiang Xiao and said softly,””I know she’s very strict, but it’s fine to eat a little on this occasion.”
Jiang Xiao shook his head silently and looked at the man who was holding the guitar and asking for wine loudly. He changed the topic and said,””It’s very nice. What’s his name?”
“Him?” Hou zihou brought his dagger to his mouth and tore off a piece of greasy meat.”Hou yanhuan, the most likely person to be chosen.”
“Huh?” Jiang Xiao asked.
“Hehe, we all know what it means for the senior officer to be here.” Hou zihou smiled and said,”I’ve been working with Yan Huan for six years. I know what he’s capable of.” I never knew he could sing, hehe. He borrowed this guitar on purpose. ”
The intoxicating singing continued, even though it was a little out of tune, but the voice was really infectious, and it entered the chorus stage:
“You have to walk the north and south Road, there are thousands of roads you must not turn back, where do you swim in the vast wind and rain, let the water of the Yangtze River flow in the sky …”
“It’s because you guys have too little entertainment,”Jiang Xiao said.
Hou zihou: “well, that’s true. Ever since I joined the night guard, I’ve never partic.i.p.ated in a Bonfire Night …” Eh? It’s a summoning from the commander. ”
Jiang Xiao looked around, only to see that second last was sitting on the gra.s.s in the distance, raising her palm high and beckoning in their direction.
Hou zihou laughed.”You’re really strict. You haven’t changed at all. In order to avoid you being lectured, I’d better leave.” Oh, right …”
“What?” Jiang Xiao asked.
Hou zihou walked backward in the direction of the bonfire, but he raised the wine bag in his hand and said to Jiang Xiao,””The world champion! Brother, work hard!”
Behind the mask, Jiang Xiao smiled in embarra.s.sment and glanced at hou zihou’s body, only to see that second last was pointing at him and beckoning him.
Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and walked towards her.
“Beyond the mountains, beyond the buildings, there are no longer any mountains or small buildings. Don’t wait in front of the closed window, Wild Geese fly over chrysanthemums, and the whole building is filled with the fragrance of chrysanthemums …”
Amidst the singing, Jiang Xiao walked towards second last, squatted down, and said,””What’s wrong?”
Second last’s face was flushed and she reeked of alcohol.””The meat can be eaten.”
Jiang Xiao had his own difficulties. The mask wasn’t real and was just an illusion. The strength of the soldiers present was above the standard line, so it was better to forget it.
Seeing that Jiang Xiao didn’t respond, second last looked at the other side and pointed at the soldier holding the guitar with her chin.””How is he?”
Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said,”I don’t know. I’m not familiar with him.”
Second last said,”go and test him.”
Jiang Xiao asked,’now? He’s quite drunk. ”
Second last leaned back again and placed her elbow on the gra.s.s while looking up at Jiang Xiao. In her drunken state, her hoa.r.s.e voice seemed to have softened a lot.”Then go easy on him.”
Was he taking advantage of her?
Tsk tsk … I like it!
“Listen, look, think. Time flies. There’s no need to talk about crying and laughing. How many rounds can life have …”
Hou yanhuan dragged out the last note. It was a beautiful song, but it gave off a feeling of freedom. In the midst of the cheers and applause, hou yanhuan finally received the wine bag that had been pa.s.sed around.
His eyes were blurred from drunkenness. He raised his head and gulped down the wine, only to find that there was not much wine left in the wine sack. He raised his head and raised the wine sack high, waiting for the wine to fall drop by drop. However, he suddenly felt that the surroundings were silent in an instant, and only the crackling of the bonfire could be heard.
Buzzzzzz!
There was a soft sound, the sound of a blade piercing into the ground.
Hou yanhuan opened the wine bag and looked up, only to see a mysterious man wearing a round mask.
This was … It was the captain’s teammate, the regular member of the tail feather team, the light Chasers, nine tails!
Before the bonfire party started, second last had strictly forbidden anyone from disturbing nine last. The light-chasers had also been standing silently by the river in the distance, next to the tent.
Hou yanhuan used both her hands and feet to crawl back half a meter. She stood up shakily and looked at the mysterious nine-tailed fox who was still silent.
It was not mysterious at all. People knew what kind of young face was behind the mask.
It was also this young man who had won the highest honor for China a month ago.
In fact, many of the soldiers present were wondering how such a proud Son of Heaven could shed his Halo and arrogance and stand quietly by the river to keep watch for everyone.
Hou yanhuan threw the guitar away and wiped her clean buzz cut with one hand. She then looked into the distance and glanced at second last, who was in the distance, after Jiang Xiao.
Second last smiled and nodded slightly.
“Haha, no problem!” Hou yanhuan laughed heartily, and there was a gold quality puppet fighter STAR technique in her laughter.
For a moment, the surrounding soldiers were all agitated. A voice came from somewhere,””Fight!”
“Fight!”
“Fight!”
“Fight!” One voice, two voices … The people shouted loudly, their voices sonorous and powerful as they gathered together.
Hou yanhuan tilted her neck left and right and got into a fighting stance.
Behind the mask, Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and decided not to take advantage of the other party. He reached out, pulled out his giant sword, spun it, and threw it into the sky before getting into a fighting stance.
The giant spinning blade fell rapidly amid the sound of “battle” and stabbed into the gra.s.s.
It was also at this moment that the two of them seemed to have heard the sound of a battle horn as their figures collided.
“Wuuu!”
“Ahaha!”
Bursts of exclamations and cheers from time to time lingered around the bonfire and resounded in the night sky.
The shadows of his fists flickered, accompanied by the sounds of his fists.
The intense battle lasted for nearly three minutes until hou yanhuan transformed her star into a martial art and gathered a light ball of star power in her hand. Jiang Xiao stopped his attack and retreated.
Hou yanhuan immediately stopped moving. A star power Ball appeared on each of her wrists.
He could not help but pick up the star power Ball and knock his head in frustration. Fighting habits were terrible, especially when you met a real opponent …
He had drunk too much and was too excited. The battle had almost escalated.
“It’s not embarra.s.sing to lose to the world champion! Hahaha!”
“Jiang xiaopi! Victory!”
“Yan Huan’s star transformation into martial arts. She’s bullying a child, hahahahahaha!”
Hou yanhuan couldn’t help but laugh heartily at her comrades ‘jokes. She picked up the guitar from the ground and said loudly,””Don’t speak! I’ll sing another song for you!”
“Whoos.h.!.+”
“Alright!”
Hou yanhuan ruthlessly plucked the strings of her zither …
With a smile on his face, Jiang Xiao pulled out his giant sword and returned to the river not far away.
Under the starry sky, fireflies were dancing.
From afar, Jiang Xiao looked at the excited and cheering faces. The so-called battle and the so-called results were no longer important at this moment.
The song drifted, and they drank and talked happily.
Although the sky here would never light up, the gathering would eventually come to an end.
After a long time, Jiang Xiao carried the drunk second last and walked towards the tent that had been set up by the river while they bade each other farewell.
She was too happy today, so … Jiang Xiao didn’t plan to stuff her into the sleeping bag and instead, he decided to let her sleep on the gra.s.s.
When Jiang Xiao threw her into the tent and turned around to walk out, he suddenly heard second last whispering,””Someone asked me just now.”
“What?” Jiang Xiao turned around, squatted down, pinched the zipper of the tent, and pulled it up.
Second last’s voice was heard from the tent again.””They asked me how I managed to convince someone who was the center of attention, someone who lived in the midst of flowers and applause, to willingly put on a mask, conceal his ident.i.ty, and join this team.”
“How did you respond?” Jiang Xiao asked with a smile.
Second last sat up and looked at Jiang Xiao through the unzipped tent door.””My response is that I don’t know. If you know, you can tell me. ”
Jiang Xiao nodded and said,””We can use the process of elimination. First of all, it’s definitely not because of her beauty.”
Second last was speechless.
