In the room, the owner of the beverage shop warmed up four cups of milk, the adult poured some yak into the cup, and the quilt for the black egg only added some sugar.
There's nothing like a cold cup of sweet neinei to grab your balls' attention!
As soon as his eyes lit up, the black egg immediately raised his head and looked at Chiu Chiu who was sitting beside him. After Chiu Chiu nodded, the little monster immediately sat on the child seat and held a cup bigger than his face, cautiously. He blew, then gulped and drank.
As usual, Ah Jin pushed his cup in front of the black egg.
"We're going back soon. Before we leave, we want to ask the boss to confirm the thing we asked before... Has the other party responded?"
The so-called "what we asked before" refers to the question asked by the owner of the beverage store to the feed distributor, whether the food on the pack can be grown in the west.
"Ah?" The owner of the beverage store was stunned: "Didn't he call you? I told Xue the next day, and he said he knew."
"Snow?" Ah Jin looked at him.
"Well, it's the name of the monster who has been sending fodder to me. His family grows all kinds of forage, and the supply can still be guaranteed even in the coldest times. It seems that there is a hot spring at home. Although it snows here every day, but In fact, there are still seasonal differences. In the coldest time, the toughest plants under the ice will also enter the dormant period, and fresh forage is only available near the hot springs." The boss briefly introduced, and thankfully said, "My family is from Grandpa Zeng. That generation used his family's forage, otherwise such a good thing would not be my home."
"Grandpa Zeng!" Hearing the word "Grandpa", the black egg who had been drinking neinei with his calf on his side raised his head with white foam on his mouth.
He already knew that "Grandpa Zeng" was Grandpa, but he was used to calling it together with Jiu Jiu, and he couldn't change it for a while. Moreover, the monsters in the west rarely have several generations of the same family, and the concept of kinship is relatively weak, at least Xiaohong does not have Grandpa Zeng.
It was rare to hear the word Grandpa Zeng from the mouths of other monsters, and Heidan immediately raised his head.
"Well, it's Grandpa Zeng." The boss smiled: "Speaking of which, the pack animals in my family were bought by Xue's family before! If it wasn't for this reason, they wouldn't have provided us with feed for generations~"
"Oh? No wonder you said you were going to ask him. Apart from the question of the forage, it's also related to this, right? After all, these pigeons were bred from their family's pigeons." A Jin smiled slightly and took out from his arms. He took out a neatly ironed handkerchief and handed it to Jihuan. He motioned for Jihuan to use it to wipe the black egg's mouth.
The black egg obediently raised his chin and let Chiu Chiu wipe it for himself.
Unlike her own handkerchief, Jiumu's handkerchief is a bit hard, but it is fragrant.
It's not a soap scent, but another scent, which smells so good! Black eggs are often smelled on Jin and Jiu Jiu.
The little monster secretly made up his mind that when he got home, he must secretly get some spice that Mother Jiu used to sprinkle on his handkerchief, and then the black eggs would become fragrant!
The boss smiled and looked at the interaction between the three members of the opposite family, with a warmth in his eyes that he hadn't noticed.
"Yeah, the snow man... should be grandpa, right? He was rushing to sell out of the city with a lot of packs. He and the packs were both seriously injured. In this case, no monsters would want to patronize him. What's more, his grandfather insisted on selling all the packs together. In the end, my grandfather Zeng relented and bought all his packs. Don't look at what my shop is like now. At that time, my grandfather was a big business-minded businessman, and his family was still very busy. Rich, grandpa originally wanted to give Xue’s grandfather a treatment fee, but was refused.”
"His grandfather didn't elaborate, but it seems that he lost most of his clan in the violent change of terrain. Their family originally raised these packs to feed the meat-eating monsters they lived with, and those meat-eating monsters also died. Now, there is no need to continue raising these pigeons."
"And then... Their family changed to pure planting, right? Although Xue's grandfather spent all the money from selling the packs for the treatment of the remaining clansmen, he should not have survived too much. Xue is a monster every time. I came by myself, and I didn't hear him say that he looks like a clan."
While reminiscing, the owner of the beverage store told Jihuan's family something from the past.
Strange to say, he never told anyone about these things, but when he was with this family, those past events came out of his mouth involuntarily.
Fortunately, this is not something that cannot be said.
"These are also what I heard from Grandpa Zeng. When I was born, Grandpa Zeng was already very old and passed away in a few years. When Grandpa Zeng passed away, Grandpa Xue also came. It was used for Grandpa Zeng's funeral. All the flowers are provided by him. They are very beautiful purple flowers. I always thought that when I die, Xue must be responsible for the flowers for my funeral. I don’t need anything else, just use the flowers used in Grandpa Zeng’s funeral. it is good."
I don't know why the topic suddenly went to the funeral, and that's not enough, the boss actually laughed while talking about his funeral!
This is a big-hearted and hearty monster!
"Sounds like a good funeral, may I ask..." A Jin smiled slightly, and suddenly pointed his finger at the wooden wall behind the bar, where there were many photos of guests and the boss himself.
"Is that a photo taken at your great-grandpa's funeral?"
Looking in the direction of A Jin's finger, Ji Huan saw a photo of two people. The moment he saw the content of the photo, Ji Huan's pupils shrank:
The group photo is of two monsters, one looks a bit like the boss in front of him, laughing, the other is wearing a heavy cloak, can't see the appearance, only the silver hair can be seen leaking from the cloak, it looks quite long. of.
The two monsters are holding small purple-blue bouquets in their hands. If you look closely, it is not the garden that is full of purple flowers behind them! But a coffin!
This lovely-looking photo was taken at a funeral!
But this is not the reason why Jihuan's heart suddenly tightens. What shocked his heart was the bouquet behind the hands of the two monsters in the photo!
It was not the first time he had seen the little purple flowers on the bouquet! The first time he had met Carassi before, the little flower that Carassi used to hold gifts had on it!
In addition, there is a similar flower on the souvenir basket left by the black egg that night alone!
If these are not enough to explain anything, maybe this kind of flower is very common, and the monsters here like to weave baskets out of rattan, but...
Seeing the monster on the left in the group photo, Jihuan's heartbeat seemed to miss a beat, and then it got faster and faster.
Although the monster in the photo is the front, but... Ji Huan always felt that this figure was familiar.
Even that cape is familiar!
I always feel like... I saw it in my dreams... If the monster that attacked A Jin and cut off A Jin's long hair turned around...
It seems like this is how it should be!
Ji Huan's slender eyes widened slightly!
However, the reaction of the black egg was nothing special. Following Chiu Chiu's line of sight, he looked at the flowers on the wall, and the little monster's eyes drifted out of the window.
Although he is already a very well-behaved child, it is indeed a bit difficult to keep him motionless for a long time and not looking around at all.
A Jin pushed the still warm piggy milk into Jihuan's palm. As soon as the temperature of the piggy milk came over, Jihuan was shocked to realize that his palm had become cold without knowing when!
"Don't just look at the black eggs, drink some yourself." A Jin said to him gently.
Looking at A Jin with flickering eyes, Ji Huan nodded lightly, picked up the cup steadily, and began to sip slowly.
Seeing Ah Jin so calm, his mind also stabilized.
The boss found nothing.
His eyes still stayed on the wall, his face full of nostalgia:
"You mean that picture... It wasn't taken at my great-grandfather's funeral, but at grandpa's funeral."
"The monster on the right is my father, and the one on the left is Xue... Dad, right? Alas~ the monsters in their family all wear the same cloak, and I can't tell the difference."
"By the way, you see, the words used in grandpa's funeral are still provided by Xue's family. They brought it from their hometown. They don't have any other places, only the flowers they have at home!"
The owner of the beverage shop said with a smile, unaware that he had said something that shocked the opposite Jihuan!
There is a "finally found" feeling.
Again, "it really is".
Ji Huan glanced at A Jin next to him: the black-haired handsome man's expression did not change at all, as if he knew something long ago, and he was not surprised at all.
Seeing A Jin like this, Ji Huan blinked slowly, then lowered his head and continued to drink the piggy milk in the cup.
The boss continued: "Isn't Xue actually calling you guys yet? Maybe it's been too busy recently? Isn't it a hunting festival recently? He's also very busy, but it doesn't matter. Today happens to be the day he delivered the feed, you guys You can ask him face to face."
He said, turning his head to glance at the antique clock on the wall behind him: "Speaking of which, he should be arriving soon."
After speaking, the boss stood up, walked to the window, and looked out through the glass window, he said a little worriedly: "However, why is the snow suddenly heavy? With such a heavy snow, the snow can't be good. It will be a little later…”
At this moment, with a "pop", Black Egg put the big cup in his hand on the table.
He had already drank two glasses of neinei, his own and Ajin's.
After burping, Heidan suddenly looked out of the window, with a circle of white milk marks on his mouth, just as Chiu Chiu was about to wipe him, he suddenly grabbed Chiu Chiu's hand.
The little monster climbed down from the chair and ran towards the door.
Standing on tiptoe, the little monster grabbed the door handle with two small claws, and then exerted his strength to eat neinei, and he opened the door.
It's snowing very hard outside! The little monster was immediately blown away, but fortunately, Ajin's eyes and hands quickly appeared beside him and grabbed his collar. The little monster then skillfully wrapped his legs around the adult's arm and fixed himself on the adult's body.
The snow piled up outside poured in from the door, and the amount of snow surprised the local boss.
"Ouch! What's going on? It's only been a few minutes, why is there so much snow all of a sudden?"
He hurriedly took out a broom and rushed over.
Ji Huan didn't wait for him to clear a path, and immediately rushed out the door until he saw Grandpa.
Grandpa was squatting on the snow with a confused look on his face.
Seeing his grandson, the horned monster scratched his head and smiled for a while: "Ah! Grandpa's presbyopia seems to be serious, I always feel like I've seen a ghost just now!"
