There are very few people on the street. It is nine o'clock in the morning. Those who go to school have already gone to school, and those who go to work have also gone to work. Therefore, those who are still wandering around at this time are collectively called... vagrants.
The unemployed Yuan Yuanyuan stood at the door, feeling inexplicably desolate.
The big tree in her yard... was pulled bald during the few days she was away. It is even balder than Teacher Saitama.
Yuan Yuanyuan sighed. Fortunately, the tree had not sprouted yet. Spring comes very late in the north, so the leaves that were pulled down were all illusions. Yuan Yuanyuan recited another spell, and in the blink of an eye, the tree grew many golden leaves again.
After finishing this, Yuan Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to wipe the windowsill and other things. Liu An had not returned since she came back, so Yuan Yuanyuan prepared to tidy up and reopen the business.
Holding a rag, Yuan Yuanyuan wiped the dust on the door. She rolled up her sleeves and washed the rag while wiping. Finally, when she finished washing everything, a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She wiped the sweat off her face while looking at the shiny door.
Great. It's all cleaned up. So comfortable.
After finishing everything, Yuan Yuanyuan went upstairs contentedly and took a nap. When she got up in the afternoon and was about to clean it again, she suddenly saw something that stunned her.
My tree is bald again...
…
Yuan Yuanyuan just came back yesterday at midnight, just one week after the meeting ended and after a long journey, she finally got home. Last night she hurriedly read some comics and official books, and then wrote something. As she was writing, she was so tired that she fell down without knowing anything.
Now she was touching the formula book, quietly looking at the words on it under the warm sunshine, her fingers sliding gently on the tree.
Height 180cm, weight 60kg, favorite foods are meat, cola and cooked instant noodles, hate broccoli.
The magic I'm good at is all trickery, note, I particularly hate calculating fate...
Uh-huh
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the note and took a sip of the Coke next to her.
This last sentence... Why did it seem so ironic to her
I always feel like there are a lot of personal stuff in this official book. Is the first official book really that thick? Shouldn't it be a little thinner in general
I should read this formula book slowly... When Yuan Yuanyuan was thinking about this, suddenly there was a scream from the yard. Yuan Yuanyuan turned over and jumped off the chair, ran to the yard with excitement on her face, holding a broken dead branch in her hand.
The tree in the yard has turned into the Whomping Willow in Harry Potter, with several people hanging on the willow branches, and the branches waving in the air, which looks particularly weird...
Yuan Yuanyuan stood under the tree holding her own branch and shouted righteously to the tree, "Oh! So it's you who have been picking the fruits of my tree!"
There were several children hanging on the tree, all howling like ghosts. Yuan Yuanyuan thrust her hand in and said, "Do you still dare to do this?"
"Ah! The perverted monster is back! The man-eating monster is back!" A child on the tree suddenly yelled, and the other children nearby all changed their expressions, "Man-eating monster?"
"Ah? You didn't tell us he was a cannibal when you brought us here!"
"Ouch... I'm going to die... I'm going to be eaten... I don't want to be eaten yet..."
"I peed my pants, the big monster won't eat me."
Yuan Yuanyuan stood there for a while, and could only let the kids down, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. One of them peed his pants because of fright, and she had to carry him down. Several children were howling in her yard, but the one who called her a man-eating monster didn't cry, and kept staring at her.
"Hey, little brat." Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the child with dead fish eyes and said, "Your eyes are very dangerous, don't you know? You'll easily get spanked. Come on, put on an innocent expression suitable for a child."
"I don't want it!" the child shouted, turned around and led the children behind him to run. Yuan Yuanyuan said "Hey?" several times from behind, and watched the children running farther and farther. She scratched her head, took out a leaf and put it to her mouth, and blew it gently. Then, the children were grabbed by the collar by the red vines that suddenly stretched out from the ground and thrown back.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked down at the little kids without saying a word, looking very gloomy.
Several children were trembling, and only the one with a child-like head kept staring at her.
Yuan Yuanyuan was silent for a while, looking at the shivering children, and finally took out something silently.
The little monsters in front were startled, and even the one in the front shrank his neck.
Yuan Yuanyuan rummaged around for a long time before slowly taking out a few rags she had just cut from her pocket. She threw one to each of them and said, looking at their blank expressions, "Wipe the house for me. Don't even think about running away. If you run away, I'll have fried monsters for dinner. I'm telling you, I don't even put the flour on the fried monsters when I eat them."
The hair on the heads of several little monsters froze at the same time, and then they quickly ran to Yuan Yuanyuan's door and started wiping the place she had wiped in the morning.
Yuan Yuanyuan lay down on the corridor to bask in the sun. She was about to fall asleep when she suddenly felt her chest vibrate. She opened her eyes and secretly looked at the things on the mirror. She turned her head and looked at the kids next to her and said, "Wipe it well. If you are not here when I come back, I will catch you all and make you fried monsters."
After scaring off a few little monsters, Yuan Yuanyuan jumped down from the corridor. When she went out, she saw the woman in white standing at the door. Yuan Yuanyuan walked over very skillfully, stood beside her, and followed her slowly walking on the street.
"There was a riot in City C some time ago, but it has been quelled." The woman in white said, "Did you know?"
"Rio. Chaos?" Yuan Yuanyuan asked, "Why?"
"Because some monsters secretly spread the news that the monster negotiations might fail." The woman in white said, "After the news came back from the front line, the riots gradually subsided."
"Oh." Yuan Yuanyuan nodded, thought for a moment and asked another question, "Why are there so many children here?"
"A lot of monsters died in the security team some time ago," the woman said. "There was no place to put their children, so they were all placed in the nursery area."
“…Oh.” Yuan Yuanyuan nodded again and turned to look at the clouds in the sky. She and the woman in white had just passed by a school. Many children in the school had just finished school at noon and were now slowly walking out of the building.
The place Yuan Yuanyuan is now in is the first place she went to when she got off the boat last night. It is on the only mountain in the city. There are houses of different styles on the mountain. Yuan Yuanyuan has never been here. The mountain here is also sealed off by the government. Ordinary people can enter from the outside, but cannot enter the inside at all.
It was not until she heard some monster say something on the way that Yuan Yuanyuan realized that most monsters now live in mountains or rivers. In addition to monsters from noble families, there are also big monsters like mountain gods in those places. The demonic energy is much more than in the city, which is more suitable for cultivation, so all monsters live there. Those living in the city are generally ordinary monsters or monsters with very strange tempers.
It was daytime, and the whole mountain was a place similar to a movie and TV studio. There were antique buildings everywhere, and every house had a red-painted door. Each door was built very large, just like the gates of ancient noble families, probably to make it easier for larger monsters to move around. Walking on the road here was like traveling through time.
Yuan Yuanyuan still remembers what it looked like when she came here last night. The whole mountain was burning with Hell Fire, and half of the mountain looked like it was burned by Hell Fire.
She stood in the middle of the room, looking at the old man opposite her, who seemed to be the city lord. She silently took out a pebble from her pocket and threw it over.
The particularly festive-looking old man opposite happily took the pebble, glanced at the contents inside the pebble, and nodded happily again, "Well written, Yuan, do you want to read it aloud in front of the other monsters and set an example for them?"
“That kind of thing…” Yuan Yuanyuan looked up at the sky silently. As a new generation of monsters, we must always devote ourselves to monsters, to the future, and strive to achieve a harmonious society… I downloaded an essay from the Internet last night and changed the words in it.
Because the number of words she had was not enough, she made up the words and wrote some random words. In the end, she wrote "Wherever leaves are flying, fire will burn. The shadow of the fire will shine on City C, and new leaves will sprout." This sentence seems very familiar. Reading this kind of thing... ah, what is there to read...
Yuan Yuanyuan didn’t know why monsters needed to report such things. Last night, they asked for 10,000 words. Boss, 10,000 words... Do you think she is made of iron
After this ridiculous decision, Yuan Yuanyuan finally understood why the big monsters on the ship were frantically writing something in the past few days. She had no idea, so she had to go back to make up for it. It was said that this thing should have been handed in as soon as she got off the ship last night, but the old man gave her a deadline of today.
Yuan Yuanyuan finally understood why there were so many travel notes in the monster books. It couldn't be too few. It was an official requirement. This thing was a must.
For example, although Yuan Yuanyuan is a big shot in the outside world, according to the rules of monsters, she is now directly under the old man in front of her. The old man is the big monster directly above her head. There are other big monsters directly above the old man. From now on, that big monster is actually the king of all monsters.
This time she went out, she was all under the order of her big monster. After she came back, she had to report to the big monster she was loyal to about what she had done. This has been the traditional pattern in the monster world—the little monsters are infinitely obedient to the big monster they are loyal to. So as far as Yuan Yuanyuan was really from the C city branch, she had to do this report, even if no one cared how she wrote it.
The old man said a few more words to her, all of which were pleasantries. Yuan Yuanyuan said a few words that were neither salty nor bland. Finally, the old man looked at Yuan Yuanyuan happily and said, "I am really sorry to trouble you, Yuan. Are you used to living at the foot of the mountain? If you want to live up the mountain, I will arrange a place for you to stay."
Yuan Yuanyuan was a little tempted. The mountain was indeed quite interesting. The houses all over the mountain were so beautiful at night. If she lived in the mountain, she could see such scenery every day.
"If possible..." Yuan Yuanyuan thought for a moment and said, "Give me a small house. I can come over and take a look when I have time, but I don't have much time to come over."
"Okay." The old man smiled again, "It just so happens that the house you lived in back then is vacant. I'll clean one out. If you want to come back, you can come back and take a look."
Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly felt a little confused.
She just... asked casually, is it possible to live in the house where Yiqi lived back then
Yuan Yuanyuan thought about it and suddenly smiled inexplicably, shook her head and went home. The moment she opened the door, she suddenly saw those little brats still squatting there, cleaning the house for her.
"Huh? You haven't gone home yet?" Yuan Yuanyuan was stunned. She thought these naughty kids would run away before they could wipe half of the dirt.
"We're not running away." The little kid who had been angry at her all day long said, "I never go back on my promises."
"Ah—" Yuan Yuanyuan stretched out the sound and walked over slowly. The kids became more and more cowardly as they saw her walk further in, and began to slowly hide behind her.
"Yeah." Yuan Yuanyuan finally stood at the door and looked around, then said, "Is it clean? Put down your things and go inside to wash your hands. I'll treat you to hot pot today."
