Chapter 12
A little child, wearing a tattered doll costume, barefoot, messy hair, with saliva and snot on his face, opened the door crying.
He rubbed his eyes and answered with sobs, "Yes, I'm in Room 1403."
Ji Yile was stunned for a moment, looking at the child who was only as tall as his thighs, he quickly squatted down and said gently, "Little boy, are your parents home?"
The child shook his head aggrievedly and answered with a sob, "I am the only one."
"This..." Ji Yile had a headache. Would the child be able to fill out the form? Moreover, the child was still crying. What should he do?
The main thing is that he doesn't know how to coax children.
Ji Yile said awkwardly: "Little boy, why are you crying? Don't cry, don't cry!"
The crying of the child in room 1403 had started to subside, but when Ji Yile asked this, he started crying again.
Ji Yile suddenly felt a headache and hurriedly pulled out a pack of tissues, took out one and stuffed it into the child's hand.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Wipe your tears quickly, let's not cry!"
He looked back in panic and found that Lin Qiaoqiao had returned, so he quickly asked her for help.
"Sister Qiaoer~"
Lin Qiaoqiao held an umbrella with one hand and held her face with the other, looking at the crying child with shining eyes.
She said gently, "If you cry again, you will be naughty."
The child paused, trying hard to stop crying, but ended up hiccuping and continuing to cry intermittently.
Ji Yile had no choice but to pull the child into his arms and coax him softly. He touched the child's head and then patted his back gently.
"Don't be afraid, my brothers and sisters are here."
With his chin on Ji Yile's shoulder, the child felt even more aggrieved as he listened to Ji Yile's consolation. While hiccuping, he looked sadly at Lin Qiaoqiao's threatening smile and death gaze.
He pursed his lips, sniffed his nose, and sobbed softly.
Ji Yile took the opportunity to look at the child's home from outside the door. The lights were bright and there was the scent of grass and trees, probably because a lot of plants were planted.
and……
The child is wearing a vine-like headband on his head. Although his hair is messy, he is still very cute.
However, a child who dared to open the door after a stranger knocked on it was really brave. His lack of awareness of danger showed that his family did not educate him enough.
Ji Yile quickly pulled the child in front of him and said, "Listen to your brother. From now on, you are the only child at home. If no one knocks on the door except a family member, you are not allowed to open the door!"
He said with a serious expression, "It's very dangerous to open the door rashly like this."
The little boy burped again, the sadness in his heart could not be stopped, and his tears flowed like a river.
If it doesn't open the door, there might not be any hair left.
But it could only answer obediently, "Thank you, brother, but I know it's you who are here!"
Ji Yile sighed, "No, unless your parents are at home."
The child whispered, "I am the only one at home."
Ji Yile was stunned for a moment and said in shock, "Why is it so?"
He looked at Lin Qiaoqiao in astonishment, and Lin Qiaoqiao calmly replied, "Don't be surprised, it just looks small. In fact, it's much bigger than you."
Ji Yile blinked and looked at the child in Room 1403 carefully.
At this time, the child's neighbors all opened their doors and weakly supported Lin Qiaoqiao's point of view.
"Yes, she is right."
"It just, it just happened by accident, that's why it became so small."
Ji Yile frowned slightly, "In this way, can he still take care of himself?"
The neighbors who answered him shuddered and muttered, "It's okay, we used to feed them."
Ji Yile's face was full of doubts, "Did you grow up eating at a hundred families' restaurants?"
The kid nodded tremblingly, and then he began to collapse inside.
"Yes, I won't dare to do it again! Wow! Don't kill me!"
Those who hear it are sad, and those who listen to it cry.
In the end, Ji Yile had no choice but to stand up and wait for Lin Qiaoqiao to give him guidance.
Lin Qiaoqiao finally sighed, pointed outside and said, "It's the vine I just cleared outside."
"..." Ji Yile heard the unexpected answer and his mind went blank for a moment.
Then he jumped back and said in surprise, "Huh? Is this true?"
He looked left and right in disbelief, then looked at his neighbors who had their doors shut.
After everyone nodded, Ji Yile rubbed his face.
He could only see the creeper headband on the child's head and thought it was just a decoration. After all, many people in his neighborhood like to wear lace headbands like this.
I never expected this!
He also has a very beautiful headband at home! His mother said it was left over from the old times, so it has always been kept fresh. Now that he has seen and heard something, he always feels that his mother has been deceived.
Ji Yile seemed to be thinking about something, then returned to his businesslike attitude.
Since the child in front of him is just a climber and is no longer a real child, he should start educating him.
Ji Yile looked at the kid seriously, and then asked, "You really are a climbing vine, right?"
The child nodded nervously, pointed his finger at the other, hiccuped, and said, "Yes. I know you all don't like it. I won't dare to do it again."
The child climbing the vines looked so pitiful that Ji Yile didn't dare to speak louder. His expression seemed a little serious, and Ji Yile was really afraid of scaring the child.
He paused, sighed, then squatted down again and said gently, "Don't do this again in the future. Whether it's this building or other places, surrounding a large area will cause damage to the building. What's more... in the situation of Building No. 2, I heard that someone fed you? All the small animals were eaten by the vines. This is not only unhygienic, but also stinks."
The creeper's lips trembled, and the corners of its mouth curved down, "But I'm hungry."
Weird things will feed other weird things, Ji Yile lacks knowledge in this area. However, the ghost-headed man I saw last night would do this, so it should be normal. Besides, the creeper is so cute.
"You used to look quite big, right? At least you were an adult." Ji Yile suddenly thought of the 55-year-old baby and suddenly felt a little uncertain.
The creeper nodded vigorously, "Yes, I am an adult."
Ji Yile was silent for a moment. "You have hands and feet, and you are an adult. It seems that your IQ is normal. Why do you want to be fed? Isn't it better to find a job, earn income, and then exchange food for labor?"
This was something Gui didn't expect. If he was hungry, wouldn't he just start eating?
Ji Yile was disappointed with her, but was afraid that she would continue to cry. His expression changed, and finally he suppressed his emotions and continued to speak softly, "Now the country is working hard to recover and develop, and our A District is in a state of recovery. We are short of manpower everywhere, and we also need strange help. Can't you find a good job?"
"Will they really want me?" Creeper asked in confusion, tilting his head.
"Of course!" Ji Yile said.
He began to paint a rosy picture for him, "Let's not talk about other places, just outside this community, aren't there a lot of shops?"
Seeing Pai Teng nod, Ji Yile continued, "I don't know if you have ever been in to see them. They have employees in every store. I have seen their wages, which are not bad. Not only can they support themselves, but they can also occasionally buy milk tea and clothes."
"Really?" Without waiting for the creeper to respond, the eavesdropping neighbors asked Ji Yile.
Ji Yile nodded, "Really. As long as you all have ID cards and complete the census registration, you can go for interviews and find jobs."
When he heard about the ID card, Paiteng's eyes lost their luster and he lowered his head sadly. Others, on the other hand, said happily: "We have ID cards!"
Then, sensing Climbing Ivy's emotions, everyone quieted down again.
Ji Yile immediately said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have an ID card. We can apply for one now."
"Really?" The creeper regained a little bit of happiness. In fact, it didn't want to work. It was taken care of by people when it lay down. In addition, many ghosts in this building needed it, so it didn't worry about filling its stomach at all.
But now, these terrible humans no longer allow it to do so. So, since it doesn't have to die, it has to make plans for the future.
It was well-informed. It heard that several emperor-level weirdos in a certain area had become big bosses in the human world. They had their own factories and office buildings. Many weirdos disdained them, but it was really envious.
Hearing Ji Yile's words, and unable to resist, and not daring to sneak around, Pai Teng could only hold Ji Yile's hands with both hands and said softly, "Then please help me apply for an ID card."
Since Creeping Teng had this attitude, it would be easier to deal with the other neighbors. Besides, they were all literate, so Ji Yile completed the targets for several households in an instant.
Ji Yile sighed, "It would be great if every household cooperated like this."
Lin Qiaoqiao turned her head to look at the few households who were still secretly watching them after filling out the form, and then said confidently, "Don't worry, the residents of this garden will cooperate."
He was not as confident as Lin Qiaoqiao, and asked incredulously, "Why?"
Lin Qiaoqiao said calmly: "Because we cleared out most of the vines today, it has become like this. I think others would not want to be like it."
Ji Yile was not so optimistic. "I believe you if you say it's weird and scary, but there are still human residents!"
For example, the other people on this floor are decent human beings! They are almost like his former neighbors. They have known each other for so many years, growing up together. How could he not know them?
Lin Qiaoqiao paused, then patted Ji Yile on the back of his head, and said, "What kind of joke are you talking about? All the residents of Deep Water Garden, including the property management staff, are weird."
Ji Yile looked at Lin Qiaoqiao mechanically and said in disbelief, "You lied to me!"
He looked at the residents again, and then at Lin Qiaoqiao for confirmation, "The patterns on their faces, the teardrops and so on, are all tattooed because of their different beliefs!"
"What do you mean by tattoo or no tattoo?" Lin Qiaoqiao muttered to herself as she looked in the direction Ji Yile was pointing.
