"Siqun, what do you mean by this?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked Siqun, who was squatting at the door eating, holding a notebook in her hand.
Siqun was gnawing on a peeled roasted sweet potato, blowing on it as he ate it, squatting at the door and looking up at Yuan Yuanyuan.
His face was red from the roasted sweet potatoes, and Yuan Yuanyuan squatted with him, holding a notebook.
She was afraid that Siqun might not understand the simplified Chinese characters she had memorized, so she repeated them in standard Mandarin.
Sister Li Zi said that if there was anything she didn't know, she could ask her brother. Yuan Yuanyuan saw that Si Qun had nothing to do, so she walked over with a notebook and asked a few questions.
She felt a little guilty, mainly because she was afraid that she would scare Siqun away halfway through asking. The two of them were not very familiar with each other, so she deliberately chose a time when the atmosphere was more harmonious.
The four groups were quite good this time, and they didn't run away...
After listening to this, he held the sweet potato in his hands and thought for a while, then whispered: "That is... when the monster transforms, you have to be careful of some things that may lead to manifestation... every monster is different."
"Is every monster different?" Yuan Yuanyuan took the notebook back, and with Siqun's explanation, she was able to understand the examples at the end a little better.
There are several examples here. The first one is that snakes unconsciously reveal themselves after drinking realgar wine. Yuan Yuanyuan was puzzled when she didn’t understand it for the first time, wondering why they suddenly started talking about the Legend of the White Snake…
She took out her pen and made a mark on her notebook. Feeling her eyes were particularly sore, she prepared to take a break, so she took a sweet potato from the plate over there and started eating it.
This sweet potato was baked at the perfect temperature. Holding it in your hands can warm your heart. The whole kitchen is filled with the sweet aroma of sweet potato. After eating one, Yuan Yuanyuan felt her face turn red and she burped with satisfaction.
The temperature has dropped a bit in the past few days. I could feel the water temperature dropping when I was washing cups in the kitchen. My hands were a little cold. Now it feels so blissful to eat a baked sweet potato.
On the way home, Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the leaves falling around her and was actually in a good mood. She went downstairs to buy a pair of waterproof gloves, and who knew that she happened to run into someone she had been avoiding.
Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and wanted to leave, but Xiaoying caught up with her. She had no choice but to follow Xiaoying upstairs.
When they got to the door, Yuan Yuanyuan took out her key to open it, but Xiaoying just kept staring at her and refused to leave. Her eyes were so dazzling that Yuan Yuanyuan had to turn around and ask, "Why don't you go home?"
"Sister Yuanyuan..." Xiaoying whispered, "How powerful are you?"
"...How powerful?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked back expressionlessly.
"Yeah, that's it... What type are you? Inuyasha? Seshomaru? Nurarihyon?"
Yuan Yuanyuan watched Xiaoying keep asking and silently recalled, "...Do you know that there is a creature called Natto Monk among Japanese monsters?"
"……Know."
"Did you know that there is a monster called the Sweeper in Onmyoji?"
“…Yeah.”
"Yeah..." Yuan Yuanyuan nodded, she turned and went into the house and closed the door.
She looked at the empty house and let out a long sigh, thinking that they would not disturb me this time.
Xiaoying's matter has come to an end just like that.
She originally thought she would come up with some weird excuse to get away with it, but who knew that at the critical moment she actually told a lie that didn't really sound like a lie.
What she said was both true and false, but in the final analysis, she didn't say it explicitly, so everyone knew it.
Nowadays, children are not so easy to fool. She thought about it from another perspective. She herself started thinking about the origin of humans and the universe when she was in junior high school. She also thought about how humans should survive in this world when she had nothing to do...
Her two-dimensional face is clearly printed on "Yao Ji", and she has been hiding for the past few days, so it would not be easy to fool people.
Yuan Yuanyuan lay on the table, looking at the densely packed handwriting on the notebook. In two days, she memorized more than a hundred items, completely neglecting sleep and food, because the sooner she could master this thing, the sooner she would have more means to protect herself.
How should I put it… This is how it works. If you let a person go hungry for a week, he may never waste food again after he comes out. If you let a person go thirsty for three days, he may convert to believing in the river god after he comes out.
Yuan Yuanyuan had never thought that she would be able to sit down calmly and memorize three days' worth of books without sleeping or eating so long after graduating from high school.
She picked up the water cup beside her and took a sip. When she was in school, she was not considered smart. She was the type of liberal arts student who memorized things by rote. Unfortunately, she studied science.
The sunlight outside was extremely dazzling, but Yuan Yuanyuan was still looking at her notes seriously, writing down a few words from time to time.
She had no idea that because of a detail in the last comic, the monsters and Taoist priests were already in an uproar...
The comic has just been released for two days, so not many people have reacted to it. In addition, the flow of information among monsters is relatively blocked, so the number of people who know about it is small and the number is growing very slowly.
And there is another very crucial reason - not many monsters and Taoist priests know about this, and those who know are unwilling to talk about it.
"Hey, why do I feel that this thing is a little... familiar?" In the tavern, Sister Li was looking at a newly bought comic book. Ever since the Four Groups appeared in the comic book, she asked Yan Xiaofu to buy back all the physical magazine versions of "Yao Ji" so far.
She and Siqun both lived in the pub. At this moment, Siqun was sitting on one side, gesturing with his hands in the air, while Sister Li was reading the latest issue of the comic, her eyebrows becoming more and more wrinkled.
"This thing..." Sister Lizi flipped through it again, "Why is it so blurry? Make it bigger."
Siqun was still leaning against the wall, gesturing with his hands and looking drowsy. Sister Lizi patted his head and said, "Hey, go to bed and don't sleep here."
He opened his eyes, looked at Sister Li a little blankly, and continued to gesture in a half-asleep and half-awake state.
"That can't be true... I remember that all those people died back then, so how could such a person suddenly appear?" Sister Li Zi said.
She took a last look at the painting and saw the thing around the neck of the "man in black". It was red with a black rope, small and a little unclear.
Last time she only watched Siqun's scenes. This was the first time she read it from beginning to end and saw such details.
She looked at it a few more times, and finally retracted her gaze and touched the four people next to her, "Hey, what are you gesturing?"
"... draw a straight line." Siqun opened his eyes and said, "Sister... you said you don't need a ruler to draw a straight line, so why can't I draw a straight line?"
...Sister Li Zi glanced at Siqun and reached out to rub his messy hair. "Stop drawing and go to sleep."
When Yuan Yuanyuan went to work the next day, she saw Siqun gesturing with his hands. His expression and eyes looked dull. Even the speed of washing the dishes was half a beat slower than usual.
She was watching from the side and was afraid that this sissy would drool down the corners of his mouth.
"What's wrong with your brother?" Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and asked Sister Li Zi.
"Oh, he is wondering why he can't draw a straight line without a ruler." Sister Li Zi glanced at the four groups and then looked away.
...What the hell is this question?
Yuan Yuanyuan picked up her phone and walked over to Siqun, opening the Candy Crush game on her phone. "Come on, Xiaoqun, find something interesting to play with. Don't think about those nonsense things. Your head will hurt if you think about them."
Siqun took the phone in a daze. Yuan Yuanyuan pressed his head against the phone, pointed at the square on it and demonstrated to him, then let him play with it himself, and then went to the side to wash dishes and memorize the handwriting.
"Hey, it really works. What method did you use?" After a while, Sister Lizi came over with an excited look on her face. "He really didn't draw the line to play, but played with your thing."
"That's normal. I've met a withdrawn child before. He could stare at the basin all day long." Yuan Yuanyuan said, "Find him something else to play with. Otherwise, if he stays alone without talking for a long time, he'll get sick."
She stacked the washed cups together and thought that monsters were probably used to the law of the jungle and had no idea about mental health. It was obvious that the guy in the fourth group had mental problems, otherwise how could a 1.8-meter-tall boy be weaker than a little girl.
Yuan Yuanyuan was washing the cups, and at the same time, he was thinking about washing Siqun's share. He usually looked a little pitiful... the kind of inexplicably pitiful. Today, he finally had the chance to play a game that modern people could play, so he might as well play for a while longer.
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a sound coming from behind. After a while, she lowered her head and looked at Siqun who had walked up to her without her knowing when.
He was squatting there with his butt sticking out, his cell phone put aside, and he was drawing something on the ground.
Seen from behind, Siqun was really thin, with a small waist... In the side light, his face was extremely pale, and his eyebrows and eyes were dark, just like blue and white flowers painted on a white porcelain cup.
As for her appearance... it's not that Yuan Yuanyuan is bad, the key point is that this face would look like a queen on a girl, but would look a little feminine on a man... in short, sissy.
She has been wandering the martial arts world for so many years and has seen many handsome male monsters, but to be so feminine... is truly unprecedented and will never be seen again.
In fact, she thought that if this guy changed his hair to long and said he was a girl, their bar might become popular.
"What are you doing?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked, looking at Siqun who was lowering his head and didn't know what he was doing.
"Draw a straight line..." Siqun said weakly.
"Oh..." Yuan Yuanyuan turned her head back, thinking that the child was hopeless. Just as she was about to call Sister Li Zi over, she suddenly saw a bright blue light coming out from the place on the ground where Siqun had just drawn with his hands.
The floor of their kitchen... suddenly sank, and Yuan Yuanyuan felt like she was falling from mid-air with a "bang", and the cabinets and chairs around her fell down with her.
The pile of cups placed in front of her also fell down with a "swish", shook a few times, but did not fall over.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked back in shock. She didn't know if the ground had sunk. If so, the soil underneath must have been compacted and as hard as stone.
"...There are no cockroaches this time." At this moment, she suddenly heard four groups of people behind her whispering, "They made a nest down there...I couldn't kill them all, and now they are all dead..."
…
Huh? What just happened?
Yuan Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly became dead silent.
Even if she knew nothing, she knew that what she did just now was definitely not simple.
Such advanced sorcery...you use it to...kill cockroaches?
"Xiao Qun'er..." She lowered her head and asked, "What was that move just now called?"
"Line Kung Fu."
"oh……"
…
Fuck you, you’re selling your cuteness like a bullshit. Are you as cute as me?
This fucked up world.
