monster study

Chongming actually once thought about it, why did his young master only raise an ordinary monster like him?

At the beginning, he was as puzzled as everyone else, and thought that sooner or later, the young master would catch other more powerful monsters.At that time, he may have to step aside, and he can only step forward to do something for him when the young master thinks of him.

But it doesn't matter, he will always stay by the young master's side.As long as the young master turns around, he will definitely be able to see him.

When the young master picked him up, he was only ten years old.

That year, he went to Chongming Island with his parents to play, and picked up the injured Chongming in the grass not far from his residence.The young master, who was only ten years old, still had fleshy cheeks, and wore round gold-rimmed glasses that were one size smaller than now. Yuxue's cute face had a serious expression that didn't match his age.He looked like a clean freak, but he carried the dirty Chong Ming all the way back to his residence.

The ten-year-old baby, carrying a huge wolf dog on his back, is walking on the path with weeds reaching his knees. Anyone who sees this picture will have to sweat for him.

Later, Qiao Yueshan healed Chongming's trauma, and explained to him the identity of the Qiao family's demon catcher.At that time Chongming thought, if these people were demon catchers, then he would rather be caught.

The young master finally took him in. Because he was found on Chongming Island, he was called Chongming.They went back to Qiao's big house together, but after Chongming turned into a human form, he saw a trace of disgust in the young master's eyes.

But he is already an adult, and there is no way to become a mature adult.

Because he was afraid that the young master would be disappointed, Chongming didn't dare to change his form for the first month.But the young master finally softened his heart. Although he didn't say anything, he called the tailor to come to the house to measure Chongming, and he even picked the material himself.

So Chongming stayed by the young master's side like this, and then slowly, rumors came.Chongming didn't want himself to be a black spot on the young master, and he was ready to be replaced at any time, but year after year, he was still the only one around the young master.

His heart gradually relaxed, but the uneasiness was still curled up in a corner, stubbornly refusing to disappear.Until one day he was called to the study by Qiao Yueshan, but he heard the conversation between the father and son at the half-closed door.

Qiao Yueshan asked Xiao Qiao when he planned to take in a natal monster, which was a monster that could sign the highest contract with the master, of course, the stronger the better.With Qiao Yueshan's help, Xiao Qiao doesn't have to worry about being turned into a customer.

Xiao Qiao was silent for a while without speaking, until Qiao Yueshan showed him the monster book, and he said: "If I take in other monsters, Chongming will be unhappy."

Qiao Yueshan sighed, and said: "But although Chongming is very powerful at this stage, it is because he has been fighting among monsters since he was a child, and he is full of viciousness. After all, he is just an ordinary monster. The orthodox wolf demon is not even considered, and the future development may stop here."

Xiao Qiao's voice didn't waver, "That's me too. As long as I'm around, he will definitely become very powerful."

Qiao Yueshan smiled and shook his head, with helplessness in the corner of his mouth.Xiao Qiao had a tough attitude, nodded respectfully to his father and turned to go out, but when he opened the door, he saw Chongming standing outside.

Xiao Qiao's face immediately turned red, she glared at Chongming, and left without looking back.

Chongming looked at Xiao Qiao, then at Qiao Yueshan, and was about to apologize, but Qiao Yueshan waved his hand to stop him.

Qiao Yueshan invited him into the house, closed the door, and said, "Little Qiao is a good boy who values ​​feelings. It may be a kind of fate for the demon catcher that he met you."

Chongming was stunned, and Qiao Yueshan continued to say: "Little Qiao is very good, and you are also very good. There are many powerful monsters in this world, but it is hard to find a partner who has the same heart. I am a not very qualified father. I have spent all my time and energy in this troubled world, but I owe a lot to my son. From now on, I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany him all the time. I only hope that you can watch over and help each other. Even if I, Joe, is gone one day, I can still live well .”

Thinking about those words now, they seem to be asking Gu.

It's just that Chongming's heart was full of emotions at that time. Qiao Yueshan was one of the few people he truly respected among human beings. His trust in him and the young master's regard for him made him feel that he could not repay him.

He didn't have time to think about whether there was any implication in Qiao Yueshan's words. When Qiao Yueshan blinked and patted him on the shoulder and told him to go find Xiao Qiao, he turned around and left without hesitation.

Xiao Qiao is in the garden with his mother pruning flower branches.

Among the peony bushes, Xiao Qiao carefully trimmed the branches and leaves with a pair of small golden scissors, with a slightly lowered head, looking handsome and noble.Qiao's mother is a dignified and beautiful woman, wearing a moon-white cheongsam, she is more delicate than a flower.

Chongming originally wanted to say a lot to his young master, but when it came to his lips, he couldn't say it.

In fact, it is not necessary to say it out loud, if I really want to say it out, I am afraid that the young master will become angry again and ignore people for several days.Chongming thought so, and smiled slightly.

Thousands of words are but one sentence, if you treat me sincerely, I will give up my life to repay you.

"What are you thinking again, you are laughing so foolishly." With one sentence from Xiao Qiao, Chong Ming was brought back to the reality of the study.Chongming looked at the young master who was still by his side, and couldn't help but tell the truth, "I'm thinking of you."

Xiao Qiao froze suddenly, in the still picture, only his face was gradually warming up.Fluffy, like a red apple.

Not far away, Shang Si was lying on the window sill, and said to Taibai Taihei: "This is called the old tree blooming, you know?"

Taibai Taihei tilted his head, half understanding, "What kind of flowers are blooming?"

"Peony flower." Shang Si replied with a smile.

At night, Xiao Qiao was lying on the bed in the room alone, looking at the photos in his hand in a daze.This photo that came into his hands unexpectedly was the only thing related to his father around him.As for the house in Shanghai, he went to visit it after he woke up. A new house was built on the old site, and it had long since lost its appearance.

However, looking at it, Xiao Qiao suddenly felt something was wrong.There is something wrong with the thickness of this photo.

Xiao Qiao sat down, held the photo up to the light and looked at it repeatedly, pinching the edge of the photo with her fingertips, and suddenly found something.There is a piece of paper attached to the back of this photo, perhaps because it is too old and the photo and paper are too close together, no one noticed it at first.

Why is there a piece of paper on the back of the photo?Was it written on the back of the original photo, so it was deliberately covered up?

Xiao Qiao was puzzled, and then carefully tore off the whole piece of paper, revealing the whole picture.

Sure enough, words were written on the back of the photo, but the words became a little blurred due to the pasting time.Xiao Qiao tried hard to identify, but she could only recognize half of it.

The guns, Longines, pens, guns, peony buckles, cutting knives, knives, and knives are all stored in a nanmu eight-pin box and buried under the big gun tree in Bao'an Hutong.Today is far away and I don't know the date of return, and I don't know when I will come again.I only hope that one day, the property will be returned to its original owner.

Roughly speaking, these few sentences mean that someone hid something somewhere on a certain day. In order to prevent people from seeing it, he (she) put another layer of paper on the photo as a cover.

However, Xiao Qiao looked at those things repeatedly, and became more and more suspicious.Little things like Longines watches, pens, and paper knives are not uncommon, but the peony buckle is an ornament made by his mother himself, and no one else should have it.And these few words are written on the back of his photo, which is even more suspicious.

Qiao's mansion is no longer there, but what if some of the things inside are kept?

The more Xiao Qiao thought about it, the more likely it was, so she immediately called Huang Mao to verify.

In the middle of the night, Huang Mao, who was playing a game, saw an unfamiliar number and didn't want to answer it.But there was a gust of cold wind blowing through the window, which made him a little chilly. He felt that this was probably God's will, so he connected the phone with the determination to fight the liar for [-] rounds.

Opposite is Xiao Qiao, which makes Huang Mao worse than receiving a scam call.

Xiao Qiao asked Huang Mao to look for his grandma's handwriting, and then took a photo for him to see.How dare Huang Mao refuse to follow, hung up the phone and plunged into the grocery room again, the noise of searching was so loud that his father almost gave him another shave.

Fortunately, Grandma Tai was also a person who had read books back then, and she left some letters, which were carefully preserved by Grandma.After Huang Mao found it, he took a fancy [-]-shot and sent it to Xiao Qiao. After the shooting, he felt curious and couldn't help but read the letters.Looking at him, he was fascinated. His father walked through the door and saw his yellow-haired son lighting a lamp and reading alone in the middle of the night. He was so frightened that he suspected that he was dreaming, and went back to sleep with a face of disbelief. Forgot to go to the toilet.

Huang Mao didn't see his father. He was already immersed in his grandma's world and couldn't extricate himself. He bit his finger and kept feeling in his heart: Oh, my grandma is old and talented. The word "grandmother" is so beautiful. The grandma is really extraordinary, really knowledgeable, really thoughtful...

After feeling for a long time, Huang Mao saw himself in the mirror, oh my god, his eyes are hot.

He was so scared that he hurried to the toilet.

On the other side, Xiao Qiao finally confirmed that the handwriting on the photo was written by Grandma Huangmao.Maybe she hid some small things before Qiao's mansion was destroyed, that's not impossible.If the things really belonged to Qiao's family, Xiao Qiao had to find them no matter what.

But where is this precious alley?Shanghai?Looking at the words left on the photo, she said that she was leaving, so it should mean that they left Shanghai and returned to Beijing.

If possible, Xiao Qiao really wants to fly back to have a look now.But can Shanghai today be the same as Shanghai a hundred years ago?The people back then are gone, the city has changed, and the names of the roads may have changed with time. It is even more difficult to find a box buried under a tree.

Maybe it's a good idea to seek help from Shang Si.

No, no, better ask Lu Zhifei, Lu Zhifei is a good person.
