Demon in the world

Hungry, very hungry, recently Ah Jiu always wakes up from hunger in her sleep.

Not only that, at the lunch table, he even ate seven bowls of rice in a row and still didn't feel full.

When he was about to fill the rice again, he found that the rice cooker was empty. After turning back in frustration, the brothers all looked at him in surprise.

"Ah Jiu has a really good appetite." Xi Feng smiled and pushed her rice bowl over, "I haven't moved yet, I'll eat it for you."

Ah Jiu twisted her body in embarrassment, "No, third brother, you can eat, I'm already full..."

"Googoo," an awkward sound from his stomach interrupted his refusal.

Ah Jiu blushed and stood up, "I'd better cook some more rice."

He hesitated before walking to the rice bag. Usually four people eat five cups of rice. How many cups should we cook now?

Six cups... seems not enough, then seven, oh no, eight cups will be fine.

When filling the rice, Ah Jiu tried to fill the cups as full as possible, piled up sharply every time, and finally couldn't help adding two more cups.

While cooking, he stood by and watched, sniffing the aroma of the rice and thinking about whether to change to a bigger rice cooker.

Several people in the living room looked at each other, Zhan Xiaoqian licked the Jade Buddha and said, "Your brother eats a lot."

Xi Feng looked at Ouyang Fei, "Does he usually eat so much?"

"Did not notice……"

Wen Renchu ​​hesitated and said, "It seems that he only started to increase his appetite in the last few days."

Fu Xin suggested in a low voice, "Do you want to take him to the hospital for a physical examination?"

Ouyang Fei snorted coldly, "Which hospital are you going to? Even if you eat a little more than usual, what kind of illness is it? Ah Jiu is developing."

"Hey," Ah Jiu ran out with the rice pot in his hand, and said with sparkling eyes, "Okay, do you want to eat?"

That expression clearly revealed the message of 'If you don't eat it, it's mine', everyone fell silent, and said in unison: "Don't."

Ah Jiu filled the bowl and happily ate it.

One bowl, two bowls, three bowls... The rice in the pot quickly collapsed, and when it was about to bottom out, Ah Jiu still had an unsatisfactory expression on his face.

Fu Xin whispered to Ouyang Fei: "Do you think it is necessary to take him to the hospital for examination now?"

Not only Ouyang Fei, but also Xi Feng and Zhan Xiaoqian nodded silently.

In order not to hurt the fragile self-esteem of the developing older child, Wen Renchu ​​chose to conceal the reason, saying only that it was a routine physical examination, and Ah Jiu readily agreed.

Ouyang Fei said enthusiastically, "Physical examination? I haven't done it yet, let's go and have a look."

Zhan Xiaoqian rubbed his stomach and said, "I also feel bad digestion recently."

Xi Feng raised his hand to his stomach, "Human digestive organs are here, anyway, I have nothing to do, so I will go check it out, and Fu Xin will take care of the house."

Fu Xin said depressedly: "I want to go..."

Wen Renchu ​​looked at a row of eager faces, and said coldly: "Do you think you are going to the supermarket?"

But in the end, under Ah Jiu's plea, a group of people went together happily with curiosity.

This is a private clinic. The doctor is a middle-aged man in his 30s, named Yu Jie. He has a gentle smile and a gentle voice. He exudes a faint scent of perfume. He is very different from the dentist Ah Jiu has seen.

He was also very funny in his speech, and as if he could do magic, he took out some weird gadgets from his body from time to time, so as to eliminate Ah Jiu's resistance to those cold instruments.

After checking his body, Yu Jie cautiously asked many questions about his appetite.

Ah Jiu held the soft sponge doll, although she felt strange, she had no choice but to answer honestly.

Yu Jie sat down and poured a few cups of tea to the curious family members, "He is normal and has no problems."

"But he can eat two pots of rice in one meal, such a big pot." It was Zhan Xiaoqian who said this, and he didn't realize that there was something wrong in saying it in front of Ah Jiu.

Ouyang Fei and Fu Xin looked at each other speechlessly, neither looking at Ah Jiu's shocked eyes.

After being stunned for a while, Ah Jiu gradually understood why he had to have a physical examination. It turned out that his brothers thought that he had eaten too much, so he was so sad...

After returning to Taoyuan, Ah Jiu has been very depressed. No matter how much she is persuaded by several people, she can't laugh. The most frightening thing is... her stomach starts to growl again.

It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was three hours before the meal time. Ah Jiu endured and endured, trying not to let herself show any abnormalities, but she was really hungry...I couldn't use any strength in my body, and I felt like I was going to starve to death .

Xi Feng saw that he was very pitiful with drooping eyebrows, so he took out a big bag of bread and handed it over, "I bought it on the way, let's fill my stomach first."

The eyes of the brothers seemed to be looking at the monkeys in the zoo, and Ah Jiu cried as he put it in his mouth.

Ouyang Fei panicked, "Aren't you full yet? I'll go get some food..."

Ah Jiu pouted, and his eyes slowly stopped on Wen Renchu, "I'm going to find a job tomorrow, so I'll eat and drink for free if I don't stay at home."

Wen Renchu ​​watched him not speak, and after he finished eating the bread, he said, "Turn back into the animal body and show me."

Ah Jiu stared at it with bated breath, and the hands that were held together slowly turned into Mao Zhichi's round claws.

Ten seconds later, the boy on the sofa completely transformed into a round cub.

After being quiet for a while, Fu Xin couldn't help but yelled, "I told you a long time ago, Ah Jiu is so cute, she must be beautiful in real body too!"

Ouyang Fei mocked: "Of course, our brothers are not bad except for someone, right?"

"Let me touch it." Zhan Xiaoqian tried his best to squeeze in with his hand.

Wenren Chuka hugged Ah Jiu's ribs, "It seems to be a bit heavier."

Xi Feng studied for a while, and said: "The body is also a little bigger. It seems that it is because of the release of the seal. The body has been suppressed and unable to grow before. Now it is normal to eat more to replenish physical strength."

It was so embarrassing to be looked at as if she had no clothes on, Ah Jiu shrunk her body into a ball and slipped into Wenren Chu's arms.

Zhan Xiaoqian finally managed to break through the siege, and said clearly to Wenren, "I want to hug you too."

Wenren stared at the little black dog under the table, "There's the trouble fighting."

"I want to hug my brother."

"No."

"I want to hug my brother." The repeater insisted without blinking.

……

"Bang!" Ah Jiu successfully returned to her human form, clutching her heart and running upstairs, stammering, "I, I'm going to sleep."

When cooking at night, Ah Jiu was shocked to find that the rice cooker had been replaced with a larger one, and there were still two large bags of unopened new rice in the corner of the kitchen.

While he was relieved, he also felt a little bit of melancholy. He has such a big appetite and has no source of income. What should he do if he eats his brother poor in the future?It seems that finding a job is imperative.

After eating, Ah Jiu didn't forget to cook another pot for himself for later use in the evening.

Seeing a big pot full of rice, he became extremely sad again, alas, he is really about to become a bucket of rice...

Ah Jiu tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, so she discussed with Wen Renchu ​​about finding a job.

Wen Renchu ​​leaned on his arm and asked him, "What kind of job do you want to find?"

Ah Jiu thought for a long time, then said, "Anyway, I can't find a job as a chef."

Wenren Chu asked curiously, "Why?"

Ah Jiu said depressedly: "Brother, think about it, I'm easy to get hungry, plus I work in the kitchen, what if I can't help but steal the guests' food?"

This... It is indeed a great test for a glutton to sit still in front of delicious food.

Ah Jiu sighed: "But, if I don't become a chef, I can't do anything."

Wen Renchu ​​hugged him to his chest and said, "Don't worry, I can still support your little appetite."

Ah Jiu was dubious, "Really? What if I eat more in the future?"

It's not just in case, it's for sure... After the seal is lifted, Ah Jiu will definitely eat more and more with his growing body shape.

Wen Renchu ​​was not worried at all, "I will take you hunting then."

"hunt?"

"Hunting monsters, compared to human food, they are more suitable for our appetite and can fill our stomachs better."

Ah Jiu hesitated: "Do you mean to eat our own kind?"

Wen Renchu ​​nodded, "Well, we monsters are divided into three levels. The lowest level has no thinking ability and can only be driven by people, so it is called food, such as 駮 and Kundun you have seen. They are important to us. Just like domesticated animals, they are very capable of reproduction and survival, and they are distributed in every corner of the world, so there is no need to worry about being extinct."

Ah Jiu asked again: "Is it raw? Or cooked?"

"..."

"Would you like some seasoning?"

Considering Ah Jiu's ability to bear it, Wen Renchu ​​wisely chose to avoid it, "I'll know when the time comes, you're not yet old enough to go hunting."

In the next few days, Ah Jiu was flipping through newspapers and browsing the web. No matter what, he still hoped to find a suitable job.

"Third brother, what do you think of this?" A large leisure club is recruiting waiters, with no restrictions on education background, no restrictions on majors, and the height requirements are just right. The most important thing is that the salary is high enough. times it.

Xi Feng propped his chin lazily with his hands, and shook his head slightly, "This profession is not suitable for you."

Ah Jiu said: "Why? The above said that as long as the facial features are correct and the sense of service is good."

Xi Feng said in a considerate tone: "Many things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Just like this advertisement, judging from this salary, it is not actually recruiting simple waiters."

"Then what does it want to recruit?" Ah Jiu asked puzzled.

Although the age of the demon is still young, he is already an adult in terms of human age. Xi Feng is not sure whether his innocence is good or bad.

When he was thinking, Ouyang Fei reminded him: "Third brother, you'd better not tell him these things."

Xi Feng asked back: "Do you also think he shouldn't know these things?"

Ouyang Fei compared the saber and said, "It's not me who thinks so, but the second brother thinks so."

Regarding the question of how Ah Jiu will grow in the future, Xi Feng feels that it is necessary to call on everyone to get together and seriously review it.

At night, after Ah Jiu fell asleep, the brothers held a family meeting in the living room downstairs.

As an advocate of the meeting, Xi Feng took the lead in expressing his views, "Ah Jiu is dead now, I think it is necessary to give him some special education."

Wen Renchu ​​said coldly, "What special education are you referring to?"

"For example, let him go out alone, get a girlfriend or something, and it's not a bad thing to have more emotional experience and social awareness."

"No."

"Second brother, he's a human being now, a boy who doesn't know anything about the dangers of society and gender knowledge, which doesn't seem appropriate."

"It's nothing inappropriate," Wen Renchu ​​pointed at Fu Xin and Zhan Xiaoqian who were beside him, "Haven't he and him grown up safely?"

Ouyang Fei couldn't help interjecting, "A money addict who doesn't recognize his relatives, and a dead house who doesn't distinguish between five grains, I don't want my ninth brother to become like them."

Seeing that Chu frowned slightly, Xi Feng continued: "I know that the second brother cares about Ah Jiu, but now whether he is a human or a monster, the living environment has become more and more complicated and difficult, so he can't keep being so simple. If Don't worry about the second brother, you can hand Ah Jiu to me and bring him back to Jiangcheng. I will train him well."

Wenren Chu said unhappily, "I'm afraid the last sentence is your goal for tonight, right?"

Xi Feng smiled and didn't make any excuses, "Isn't it good for Ah Jiu to follow me? Your law firm is so busy, and you don't have much time to spend with him..."

In the middle of speaking, he stopped suddenly, Wen Renchu ​​and Ouyang Fei also sensed something was wrong, looked at each other and rushed up the stairs like arrows.

Ouyang Fei kicked the door of Ah Jiu's room open, and a rotten and strange smell rushed over his face immediately, "Ah Jiu!"

After turning on the light, I saw that the bed was empty, and the little beast that had changed into its original shape was trembling in the corner.

Several people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, Wen Renchu ​​hugged him to comfort him, "Are you all right?"

Ah Jiu shook his head, and whispered, "Just now there was a big bat stuck to the ceiling..."

There is a reason why he is afraid of bats. When he was still in Wuzhu Cave, he was often bullied by those disgusting and terrifying carnivorous bats.I thought the shadows had disappeared, but now that I saw them, I realized that the fear was still hidden in my heart.

"Did it do anything to you?"

"No, it just looked at me, and kept looking at me..." I was so scared that I didn't dare to move, and I didn't dare to call someone over.

Ouyang Fei pushed open the window, and saw a bright white line drawn like lightning in the sky, "This monster smells so strange, I don't know its origin or purpose."

Wenren Chu said in a deep voice: "It's not our local monster, but a gargoyle from the other side of the ocean. Fu Xin, you stay here to accompany Ah Jiu first."

After several people left the room, Xi Feng couldn't help asking: "How did the gargoyle find Ah Jiu?"

Wen Renchu ​​gave a brief account of Du Shiwei's incident, and Xi Feng pondered: "A little monster is nothing to be afraid of. What is afraid of is the so-called alliance of five flavors behind it. I don't know the origin. The gargoyle should just come to visit tonight. Lu, maybe there will be other actions in the future.”

Ouyang Fei sneered while turning his saber, "If the other party dares to come, I'll take off its bat skin!"
