Yesterday, the Covenant Guardian Spirit was looking after Qiu Luoye, so they couldn't attend to the New Year's affairs.
When the first day of the new year arrived, everyone put up couplets, hung lanterns, and changed into new clothes.
Qiu Luoye tightened the bandage over his wound. Holding a pair of Wolf Fang Clubs, he stood in the yard with a smile and said, "During New Year's, we should celebrate like it's New Year's. Even if this is our last one, we have to make it look decent."
A python lit a pair of lanterns. Suspended in the air, it flicked its tongue and said, "Master Qiu, let's not talk of such unlucky things. Tonight, we will fight them, eat their flesh, drink their liquor, and have a lively New Year's!"
"Well said!" Stone shouted from the side. "A tiger may die but will not fall, let alone our Master Qiu who's a Big Elephant!"
At these words, Qiu Luoye and Old Hu each gave Stone a kick.
