"You are very good at choosing a place to live." Xiao Zhitong said meaningfully.
Wei Sushen nodded, his expression showing no other changes: "The house is not big, but the old community has a good cultural atmosphere."
Xiao Jun, who was walking at the end, suddenly raised his head when he heard this. He felt that he was becoming less and less able to understand this elder brother. This sentence sounded ordinary at first, but it seemed extremely ironic when he thought about it carefully.
The water quality nearby is not very good. Ordinary boiled water has a strange salty taste when you drink it.
Xiao Zhitong has a keen sense of taste. He brought the wine to his lips and then put the cup down again.
"We kicked you out of the Xiao family because you weren't talented enough," Xiao Zhitong glanced at the rooster. "Now that you have a spirit pet, it means you have the capital to return to the Xiao family."
The words were spoken bluntly and sounded very cold at first, and he did not deliberately slow down just because Wei Sushen had a spiritual pet.
Wei Sushen shook his head: "It's great here."
Xiao Zhitong seemed to have expected him to answer like this, and even Xiao Jun didn't think it was surprising. They would be surprised if he agreed to it like that.
Young people are all stubborn and willful. If they are ruthlessly kicked out of their homes, it is natural that they will not agree to come back because of the value of interests.
"It's normal for you to feel resentful," Xiao Zhitong said calmly, "but only the Xiao family can provide the most sufficient resources. It's not too late to worry about these things after you become stronger yourself."
Wei Sushen had a cold smile on his lips: "Are you telling me to use the Xiao family and then kick them away?"
"That's not a bad idea," Xiao Zhitong said. "Families and individuals are always in a mutually beneficial relationship. Of course, by that time, the Xiao family will also provide enough power and status to entice you to stay."
Wei Sushen didn't think about it and still refused.
"The Xiao family's skills are not suitable for me to learn."
There is no resentment between the lines, as if it is just a statement of plain facts.
Xiao Zhitong's expression gradually turned cold: "You only learned the basics in the past, you are not qualified to judge."
He could accept Xiao Qi's dissatisfaction with the Xiao family, but he could not accept his questioning of the Xiao family's ability.
Feeling his father's anger, Xiao Jun subconsciously took a small step back. Looking at Wei Sushen standing there without moving, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Why not have a competition?" Wei Sushen said with a cold look in his eyes, "Let's see who can solve the anomaly in this building first."
Xiao Zhitong sneered: "You want to compete with me?"
Wei Sushen: "It's not a violent solution."
In terms of strength, he is definitely no match for Xiao Zhitong now.
"It's about who has the more satisfactory solution."
"Perfect?"
Xiao Zhitong repeated the word, feeling it was childish, yet somewhat interested.
The bet was established.
Wei Sushen glanced at Xiao Jun and said, "If you think you have enough ability, you can also participate."
Having said this, and in front of his father, Xiao Jun's eyes turned unfriendly: "I hope you don't regret it."
The Xiao family is very efficient in their work. Xiao Zhitong originally wanted to buy the house downstairs, but all the people living there were elderly. No matter how much he offered, they were unwilling to leave the house where they had lived all their lives.
Wei Sushen made an unexpected decision and invited them to live in his house.
Two bedrooms and a living room, more than enough to accommodate three people.
Since everyone relies on their own abilities, there is naturally no information sharing.
Wei Sushen is mostly active during the day, while Xiao Zhitong and Xiao Jun prefer to be active at night.
At 3:30 in the morning, when Xiao Zhitong came back, Xiao Jun had already fallen asleep. Wei Sushen was sitting cross-legged on the floor by the window, surrounded by dense green light spots.
Xiao Zhitong's eyes were very sharp...the energy of life.
The Xiao family itself has inherited healing techniques, but they are obviously not as advanced as this one.
The light spot was like a lively elf, jumping back and forth, and after playing enough, it re-immersed itself in the body. Wei Sushen slowly opened his eyes and looked directly into Xiao Zhitong's gaze that seemed to be able to pierce through everything.
"Where did you learn the art of healing?"
Wei Sushen did not respond. The big rooster cackled twice and looked at him with a sidelong glance, revealing a sense of frivolity in its eyes.
The magical thing is that Wei Sushen lowered his head and seemed to be communicating with the big rooster using language.
“It asks if you want to learn?”
After a while, Wei Sushen raised his eyes and said.
Xiao Zhitong: "If I say I want to..."
"Please."
The big rooster raised its head and gestured to kneel down and beg.
“…”
The topic ended with a hint of murderous intent.
According to the little boy, his mother was originally a housewife, but recently she found a job and sometimes has to work night shifts, which is very hard.
It happened to be the weekend, and Wei Sushen was combing the feathers of a big rooster when the little boy came to him, smiling sweetly with two dimples, "Big brother, can you come to my house for dinner tonight?"
Wei Sushen glanced at the calendar and saw that there were only three days left until the seventh day, so he politely declined.
The little boy said disappointedly, "Come on, my dad is cooking today, and his cooking is delicious."
Wei Sushen's eyes were pale, but the light in them was as warm as spring. He touched the little boy's head and said gently, "Okay."
The little boy went back happily.
It was clearly a very heartwarming scene, but it looked cold in Fang Shan's eyes.
From his perspective, he could clearly see the smile in Wei Sushenbuda's eyes. The chill that seeped from his bones made people want to stay away from him.
When visiting someone's home, it is basic etiquette to bring a gift.
Wei Sushen had not prepared anything originally. It was just a Hongmen Banquet, so it would be a waste to bring it with him.
When he was about to go out, Fang Shan flew out with a basket in his mouth. Wei Sushen took it and found that it contained more than a dozen high-quality eggs.
Not long after the doorbell rang, the little boy ran out excitedly and opened his mouth wide when he saw Wei Sushen.
Children of this age already have a preliminary understanding of beauty and ugliness. Even if it is not too strong, the little boy is very clear that Wei Sushen is the type who is very good-looking.
From the perspective of modern society, it is probably a flower on the top of a mountain.
But it is this tall and handsome boy, carrying a basket full of eggs, who has a strong sense of rural flavor.
The little boy's mother heard the noise and came over, smiling and saying, "You're welcome."
A busy figure can be seen in the kitchen.
The person who cooked was an ordinary middle-aged man with a very cold expression and some awkward movements.
Wei Sushen stared at it for a while and then looked away.
The little boy asked him a few questions with his homework, and from time to time his attention was drawn to Fang Shan: "This chicken is so fat."
Wei Sushen said calmly: "It will be sad if you say that."
The little boy looked over and didn't see any sadness in the rooster's eyes. Instead, the rooster stared at him fiercely, as if it would peck a hole in his body at the next moment.
As the kitchen door opened, the aroma of rice wafted over.
It smells very tempting. Wei Sushen has eaten a lot of delicacies from land and sea, and he is sure that no matter how good the food is, it will not have such a fragrance.
In the middle is the stewed chicken soup, and next to it is the fish as the main dish.
There are chickens and fish, which shows how much the host values it.
"Come, eat it while it's hot." The hostess placed the chopsticks in place, but did not pick them up herself.
Wei Sushen moved the bowl a little closer to him and glanced at the rooster.
Fang Shan nodded, indicating that he could eat white rice.
Wei Sushen slowly ate a mouthful of white rice, picked up a large piece of meat from the fish belly, and placed it in the little boy's bowl under the hostess's expectant gaze: "The meat here doesn't have many bones."
If we ignore the current weird atmosphere, this scene is very heartwarming.
The little boy turned his head away: "I don't like fish."
Wei Sushen helped him pick up another piece of chicken, blew on it and brought it to his mouth: "You can't be picky about food when you are growing up."
The little boy looked at the chicken in front of him, not knowing whether to eat it or not. Finally, he looked at the hostess pitifully.
"He has had a toothache recently and can't eat these." The hostess spoke slowly, her expression not as kind as before.
The regret on Wei Sushen's face was very sincere, which overturned the image of a cold and indifferent boss that Fang Shan had thought of him when they first met.
A big boss is not scary, but a big boss who can be cold and dramatic is very scary.
Wei Sushen casually said to the hostess, "Your lover doesn't seem to have a good appetite either."
The man hadn't said a word since he entered the room, and even now, he was still sitting there blankly.
Hostess: "I lost my job and I'm not feeling well."
Wei Sushen picked up another piece of fish.
A glimmer of light appeared in the hostess's eyes.
Just as he opened his mouth, the big rooster suddenly crowed and his whole body twitched.
Wei Sushen put down his bowl and chopsticks, picked it up, and put his hand on the big rooster's forehead: "My pet seems to have a fever."
The hostess's face was not very good: "It's a chicken."
Touching the forehead to measure body temperature, it looks weird no matter how you look at it!
Wei Sushen was holding Fang Shan, and another scene was reflected in the eyes of the big rooster Huangdou.
The delicious food was covered with dead insects. The man's eyes were empty and there was a crack behind his head. Many black beetles were crawling around.
Wei Sushen sat back without changing his expression. The closer he was, the clearer the image was.
The so-called fish meat is actually white insect eggs, which are still alive and moving. You can imagine the consequences of eating them.
He scratched the chicken wings to indicate that it was okay.
The big rooster kicked its legs and fainted.
Wei Sushen used the excuse of taking it to the pet store and left openly.
After he left, the little boy said disappointedly, "He didn't eat."
The hostess said calmly, "There are plenty of opportunities."
The little boy looked up and asked, "If he eats it, will he become as obedient as his dad?"
The hostess nodded.
The little boy said happily: "That's great, I like that brother very much."
The hostess doted on him, “You must keep the things you like.”
The little boy looked at the silent man sitting opposite him and said, "I know. Just like Dad."
…
He pretended to take the big rooster for a walk and went back upstairs.
There was a piece of insect tail on the table. Xiao Jun stood beside it, and Xiao Zhitong pressed the insect tail with his fingertips, as if he had made a judgment.
Glancing at Wei Sushen, Xiao Jun said with some pride: "I found him from the opposite door without alerting the enemy."
He originally didn't plan to take it out, but unfortunately his ability was limited and he couldn't identify what it was.
Wei Sushen didn't tell him that when the hostess invited them to dinner just now, the table was full of these bugs.
"Corpse worms." Xiao Zhitong said.
Xiao Jun frowned. He had seen many corpse worms, mostly maggots, but this was the first time he had seen one with a shell.
"It's not a corpse worm in the traditional sense, but a type of Gu worm."
When mentioning Gu, the first reaction is to control people. Xiao Jun quickly asked if this insect had a similar effect.
Xiao Zhitong nodded slightly: "But it is not used to control living people."
The so-called corpse worms are only useful for dead people.
Xiao Zhitong only said this much. Xiao Jun wanted to ask more, but when he thought of the bet, he swallowed the words back.
Seeing that Wei Sushen didn't show any curiosity, Xiao Jun couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that you already have a solution?"
Wei Sushen didn't try to be mysterious and nodded directly.
Xiao Zhitong looked at him and said, "Let's see who's faster."
The implication is that he also has a countermeasure.
