He tilted his head and stared at the boy, and the boy tilted his head and stared at him.

Chen Xi, there is also the word Chen in his name.

Friends in the system said that there would be a soul leaving the previous world with him.

Combined with the information he had obtained before, Yu Tong felt that the boy in front of him was most likely his brother Chen.

The little mushroom-head boy handed the chick to Chen Xi, and the villain stretched out his finger and poked the chick with a sad face.

Yu Tong was unable to control his body and did not give any response.

Seeing that the chick didn't react, the young villain's eyes turned red.

He touched Mushroom Head's head and said, "It's okay, brother. Although the chicken is dead, its body is still warm. Let's roast it and eat it while it's still hot, okay?"

system:? ? ?

Yu Tong:……?

The little mushroom-head nodded heavily.

Chen Xi took the chicken, took out a knife and prepared to cut off its head and let the blood flow.

Seeing that he was about to die at the speed of light, Yu Tong struggled to raise his little wings, "Wait, don't kill me!"

As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned.

The system yelled, "How can you speak?"

Yu Tong was even more confused than it, "How should I know? Isn't this the body you chose for me?"

【No, it's random.】

The two villain brothers looked at each other.

Mushroom Head asked in confusion: "Brother, the chicken just spoke, should we still eat it?"

Yu Tong glared at him fiercely.

You little bastard, all you do all day is eat.

Chen Xi held Yu Tong in his arms and looked him over. "No, brother, only monsters in this world can talk. It's not a chicken, it's a baby that a monster left in the chicken coop."

"Then brother, can we still eat it?"

"Of course not."

Before Yu Tong could even feel relieved, he heard Chen Xi say seriously, "A low-level monster cub can be sold for fifty silver coins. One silver coin can buy a roast chicken, five eggs, and two loaves of bread. Let's raise it for a few days and make it look good, so we can sell it for more money."

Yu Tong: ...

You are a little bastard too.

The mushroom-headed boy's eyes suddenly lit up.

He stared at Yu Tong and asked, "How many days do you need to take care of it?"

"I don't know. This is my first time seeing a monster too. Let's try raising it for ten days. If it doesn't work, we'll sell it."

Chen Xi looked at the chick in his hand with eyes so gentle that it was almost sickening.

"You're a monster cub after all, so I can't keep calling you 'chicken'. How about this: from now on, you can be called 'Gold Coin'. It sounds so cute and endearing."

Yu Tong: ...

No, I don't like it.

————

In the eyes of the villain brothers, Yu Tong is not a complete life.

It's equivalent to about 50 roast chickens, 250 eggs and 100 loaves of bread.

The two of them were afraid that their gold coins would be stolen, so they wrapped Yu Tong with a handkerchief and pinched his beak to prevent him from speaking.

Seeing the host's face becoming increasingly distorted, the system began to advise him: [These two kids are hungry and want to shoot, don't be angry with them.]

Yu Tong was not angry, he was just thinking about how to deal with the villain brothers.

I don’t know if the orphanage he is in now is the same orphanage that sold children in the original text.

The two villain brothers seem to be very unwelcome in the orphanage.

On the way back, Yu Tong could always hear someone making a "hushing" sound towards the two brothers.

"A stinky fox covered in body odor!"

"Foxes shouldn't wear human clothes. Take their clothes off!"

"What are you looking at? Do you want to steal my things?"

The tender child's voice sounded particularly harsh, and Yu Tong could hear the little mushroom-headed boy sobbing.

Chen Xi comforted his brother, telling him to ignore those people. He held Yu Tong's hand, but unconsciously tightened it slightly.

After more than ten minutes, the surroundings finally quieted down.

Little Mushroom Head took a basket and covered it with thick cloth to use as a nest for the chicks.

Chen Xi took out the chicken gold coin and carefully put it into the bamboo basket.

The handkerchief wrapped around his body was taken off, and Yu Tong finally saw the surroundings clearly.

This was probably the children's dormitory, with bunk beds. The room wasn't very big, with three beds on each side, for a total of twelve children.

In the middle of each bed is a tall and narrow rectangular iron cabinet with upper and lower layers filled with daily necessities.

In the middle aisle, a row of small desks were neatly arranged, and two people shared a table. The tabletop was a mess, filled with things.

The wooden walls of the dormitory are old and yellowed, and the floor makes a creaking sound when you walk on it.

I don't know if it's the architectural style of this world, or if this orphanage is unique, but the dormitory's roof is incredibly high. From the top bunk to the roof, there's a two or three meter gap.

In contrast, the small wobbly light bulb in the middle of the roof looked a little funny.

There was no privacy in the dormitory, so the two brothers did not take the gold coin chicken to other places, probably because they felt that other places were not safe either.

Their beds were on the right side of the room, beds numbered 11 and 12, the closest to the inside.

Chen Xi, who lived in bed number 12, climbed to the upper bunk first.

The little mushroom-headed girl on the lower bunk handed over the small basket. Chen Xi stuffed the basket into his quilt and placed it against the wall.

The two brothers seemed very busy. They had just settled the chicks and were ready to go out.

Before leaving, the two climbed to the upper bunk together and said goodbye to Yu Tong reluctantly.

The mushroom-headed girl tapped Yu Tong's little head with her finger, drooling. "Fifty roast chickens. We have to go out for class and won't be back until five in the evening. You're home alone, so take care of yourself, okay? One hundred loaves of bread."

Chen Xi took out a cloth bag from under the pillow at the head of the bed, which contained a piece of hard bread.

He scraped at the bread hard, picked off a bunch of crumbs and put them in the basket.
