me and my monster neighbor

Xu Lai signed a certificate of poverty-stricken households at his welcome ceremony. The reason for applying is that it is not easy for single mothers.

The neighbors who were present rushed to sign the application form for the impoverished households to confirm that the information was true.

Hei Dazhuang, who is thoughtful but not good at words, also left a sentence of "Come on" and a small heart behind his signature.

Due to the poor health of Xu Lai, the protagonist of today's welcome meeting, it is impossible for the other monster neighbors present to continue to feast, so the party had to end early.

Neighbors took the remaining food and divided it equally before packing it away.

The food distribution area can be roughly divided into three areas:

Meat lovers headed by leopard spirit, members include black bear spirit and vixen spirit;

Headed by Director Luo, he is a vegetarian, but there are some small differences among them. Director Luo only loves cactus, while Niu Ge Niu's wife's family and Lu Ji's little doctor love tender grass;

The mantis spirit monopolized a large plate of protein-rich worms, and she happily put all the worms into the small pink waist bag she carried;

In the end, there was the mastiff spirit, who rushed home to recite Buddhist scriptures, and left early without getting anything.

Xu Lala sat on the sidelines and watched the monsters share the food. Although he couldn't bear the strong smell of fresh lamb and lamb offal on the table, the lamb leg and lamb chops as fresh barbecue ingredients still made him salivate.

Hei Xiong Jing divided the lamb into pieces, and Li Gongbao stood beside him holding his black cat, chatting with widow A casually.

Xu Lala pulled the zipper of the school uniform jacket to the highest point, raised the collar to cover his mouth and nose, walked over and asked, "...can I share some?"

Hei Dazhuang and Widow A were slightly surprised.

Li Gongbao nodded happily and said, "Of course."

Hei Dazhuang listened, and this time he cut the knife more simply, directly splitting the whole lamb into four legs.

But Li Gongbao thought about Xu Lala's pale face from vomiting just now, so he still cared: "The smell of mutton is stronger than other meat, is it okay?"

Xu Lala nodded, his collar covered the lower half of his face, revealing only a pair of light brown eyes, looking weak and helpless, he replied: "I'll go back and blanch the mutton before eating, it can get rid of the smell .”

Hearing this, Li Gongbao was about to open his mouth when Xu Lai sighed softly and said, "Although the meat will become old and woody and taste like wax, I still have to eat some to preserve my strength."

Xu Lala sighed, speaking in a particularly aggrieved manner.

Li Gongbao was very sympathetic.

Widow A sighed weakly again in addition to sympathy: "I can't even eat raw meat when I'm pregnant, it's really hard..."

Xu Lai smiled bitterly, and said nothing.

Xu Lai successfully got a leg by virtue of his acting skills, and Hei Dazhuang took extra care of him, and even gave him a heavy hind leg of a sheep, which was very important.

The neighbors shared the food happily, and no one even noticed when the rusty iron gate in the courtyard was pushed open.

Until the magnetic lazy laughter and voice came from outside the door: "It's so lively."

Xu Lai followed the prestige.

I saw a man in black all over his body, standing outside the door holding a black umbrella.

There is a smiling mask on his face, white as cream, with intricate and gorgeous lines engraved on it, the texture looks very soft, so it can fit his face perfectly.

The man was thin, but elegant, well-dressed, with a pair of wine-red rose earrings hanging on his earlobes, swaying gracefully with his movements.

After he entered the room, he put away the umbrella, and gracefully took off his black leather gloves, revealing a pair of white and slender hands with ten fingernails painted with black nail polish.His hair looked very soft, and the flaxen gray hair grew down below his ears, and he pulled a few strands of hair behind his ears.

His skin can be vaguely seen through his forehead and neck, without any blood, almost blending with the background color of the mask.

There was a morbid sense of beauty about him.

— except for his black Martin boots.

There are four gold-plated characters embroidered on the upper: ascending the coffin to make a fortune.

"..."

Seeing him coming, Director Luo eagerly stepped forward to say hello: "Mr. Fu! You took time out of your busy schedule to come here! It just so happens that there is a pot of fresh sheep's blood here. You can try it and take some back if you don't mind."

Director Luo spoke very politely to Mr. Fu.

Li Gongbao whispered to Xu Lai that this Mr. Fu is a skilled craftsman and a pure handicraft demon with dreams.

He is best at firing all kinds of glassware. All the glass products used in Zhongnan Cave are made by him. He is the only supplier. He should have made a lot of money. The residents of Zhongnandong supplied glass products free of charge, resulting in zero turnover all year round and a sluggish business.

The mask on Mr. Fu’s face is also called a philanthropist’s mask. According to legend, there are some big monsters in the outside world who occasionally have good intentions and are willing to help monsters, but they don’t want to bear the crime of being kind, so they will wear a philanthropist’s mask before doing good deeds.

The world of monsters punishes the good and promotes the evil, and kindness has also become infamy.

After hearing this, Xu Lala hesitated and said, "Then... what happens after you take off the mask?"

Li Gongbao took it for granted: "After taking off the mask, of course you will commit crimes recklessly, and you can't do good deeds."

Xu Lale: "..."

Xu Lai's face became ugly.

Seeing this, Li Gongbao quickly comforted him: "However, Mr. Fu has never taken off his mask. Mr. Le La, you can rest assured."

Xu Lai nodded with difficulty.

On the other side, Mr. Fu thanked Director Luo for his warm invitation, and brought a graceful high-heeled cup filled with a small half cup of fresh sheep's blood. He shook the cup before bringing it to his lips.

The red blood did not slide into the mouth along the lip slit on the mask, but two sharp little canine teeth were seen between the lip slit, sucking the blood in the cup.

After taking a sip, Mr. Fu stretched out a small half of his pink tongue from his lips to lick his fangs, and replied happily: "The sheep's blood is still fresh, but... there is a better smell here."

Mr. Fu raised his head and glanced at Xu Lala softly.

Director Luo slapped his head and yelled out: "You came here specially to meet the new neighbors! Come, come, let me introduce you."

Director Luo led Mr. Fu to Xu Lai, and introduced to both parties: "This is our new neighbor, Shi Jing, Xu Lai. Comrade, this is the bat who lives in Room [-] in the southwest corner of Zhongnan Cave. Jing is a caring and kind-hearted philanthropist, we all call him Mr. Fu."

Xu Lala smiled at him politely: "Hello."

Mr. Fu tilted his head slightly, and raised his glass to Xu Lala.Xu Lala guessed that he should be smiling, but the mask of the smile covered his real smile.

Mr. Fu sized up Xu Lala's eyes, then slowly opened his lips, and said in a soft voice: "Mr. Lala, if you need to buy any glassware, please feel free to tell me."

Xu Lale thanked him in return.

Mr. Fu took out a small card with exquisite workmanship and handed it to Xu Lai, his lazy voice was as intoxicating as the red blood shaking in a high-heeled cup.He said to Xu Lai: "This is my business card, I hope you can accept it. I will also burn your exclusive glass vessel for you as soon as possible, and I will give it to you as a welcome gift for joining Zhongnan Cave."

Xu Lai thanked repeatedly in a daze, and took the small card with both hands.Mr. Fu's business card is a hard card with a pure black background. It is of excellent quality, simple and beautiful. The front of the hard card is gold-stamped, and the words "Fu" has arrived" are stamped on it, highlighting the presence under the fingertips. The back is like a checkerboard pattern.

Director Luo came over to take a look, and said, "Oh, comrade, you should keep Mr. Fu's business card close to you. The pattern on the back of the card is our map of Zhongnandong."

Xu Lale lowered his head and took a closer look, the pattern is as follows:

mouth - mouth - mouth - mouth - mouth

Mouth - Mouth - Mouth - Mouth

Mouth - Mouth - Mouth - Mouth

Director Luo pointed to the second circle in the second row and said, "This is your NO.13 room, comrade."

The third circle next to it is the street office.

The trails in Zhongnandong are almost all wisteria tunnels, and the residential houses are uniform in style. Newcomers may get lost, so take a map with you for emergencies.

Mr. Fu is also worthy of being a philanthropist. He even designed his business card to provide convenience for residents.Xu Lala kept the business card properly, and Mr. Fu said that he would not accompany him first, so he went to greet other neighbors with a high-heeled cup.

Mr. Fu is a gentleman and elegant, and all the neighbors are happy to deal with him.Meat eaters such as Li Gongbao can chat well with him, and he can also chat well in the small circle of vegetarian lovers such as Niu Ge Niu Sao.

Mrs. Niu said to Mr. Fu: "Mr. Fu, if you are free, please burn a glass commendation trophy for Dr. Lu! The pennant I sewed for Dr. Lu last time was too dirty, the faded pennant He is totally unworthy of our little deer doctor."

Hearing this, Mr. Fu's eyes fell on Dr. Luji with great interest, he smiled slightly, and said in a faint nasal voice: "Do you want to make a crystal trophy for our little doctor Luji?"

There was a hint of a smile in his tone of voice, Mrs. Niu didn't hear anything wrong, but Xu Lai could hear a hint of teasing. When Mr. Fu said "little genius doctor", he still dragged the end of these three words.

Mrs. Niu nodded: "Yes!"

Mr. Fu said, "Let me think about it first..."

The little doctor Luji sat on a chair surrounded by them, a little embarrassed.

Mr. Fu lowered his eyes and glanced at him, bent down, put his chin on his shoulders, put his smiling mask close to him, and said softly: "Then give these six words to the little genius doctor—rescue the dying and heal the wounded, love is boundless, do you think it's okay?" Huh? Miracle Doctor Lu~"

Mrs. Niu clapped her hands and said with satisfaction: "I think it's very good!"

Brother Niu also nodded repeatedly: "It's good to be educated."

The little doctor Luji shook his head in embarrassment, waved his hands and said politely: "No need..."

Seeing that Li Gongbao was also looking there, Xu Lala couldn't help asking in a low voice: "...Did Mr. Fu have any trouble with Dr. Luji?"

Li Gongbao shook his head, and whispered back: "I also think Mr. Fu has some misunderstanding about Dr. Luji."

Li Gongbao was obviously being polite when he used the word "misunderstanding".Xu Lala thought of the conjecture he had made earlier - if Auntie Niu's child was really killed by Doctor Luji by accident, and Mr. Fu was the one who knew...

Combined with Mr. Fu's superficially flattering yet sarcastic tone, Xu Lai felt that his guess was a bit more believable.

Quack doctors save people, but harm demons.

Xu Lale was lucky and felt sorry for Brother Niu and Sister Niu.

His feelings towards Little Doctor Lu Ji, his savior, are very complicated.

The party is over.

Xu Lai also took two radishes and a handful of water mint, holding the plate in one hand and the whole leg of lamb in the other, and returned with a full load.When he got home, he lit a fire and started a pot, boiled soup with mutton bones and radishes, and grilled mutton legs.

After attending the orientation meeting in the morning, Xu Lai also had some understanding of most of the monsters in Zhongnan Cave, and was basically sure that he was still safe staying here.

But Xu Lala ignored the honesty and friendliness of the neighbors in Zhongnandong.

That afternoon, after Xu Lai had lunch, neighbors knocked on his door one after another.

First, Hei Dazhuang brought a large pile of dry firewood for him.

Xu Lai accepted it gratefully.

Then Director Luo sent a box of glass daily necessities instead of Mr. Fu.

Xu Lai took it over with great gratitude.

Then Brother Niu passed by his door with a broken scooter, and Mrs. Niu came to ask him if he wanted to go for a drive together. The old Niu was pulling the cart.

Xu Lai politely declined.

Immediately afterwards, the vixen widow A pushed her pink lady car with many pink bows on the body, saying it was convenient for Xu Lai's daily travel.And she wears a veil every day, so she can't ride anyway.

Xu Lala resisted a little in his heart, but he thought that he could go to the junction of Jiaodi and the source of Jiutian River by bicycle, and it would be convenient to carry melons and fruits back. He thanked widow A repeatedly and accepted the bicycle.

In the end, Tang Siniang knocked on the door of Xu Lai's house in a hurry, and sent Xu Lai a large stack of monster reading books, which were said to be the precious prenatal education selected by the Women's Federation.Tang Siniang said to Xu Lai: "The starting line of the second generation of demons should start from prenatal education. This is the best period of enlightenment for the fetus, and you are the booster of the fetus. You must pay attention to it! From today on, you will have to give birth every day. Watching the fetus to teach, practice swords in the morning of February, April and June to strengthen your physique, and read books in the afternoon of January, March, and July to stimulate the potential of the fetus, I will supervise you every day!"

"..."

Xu Lala saw Tang Siniang smashing half-height prenatal education textbooks and some blank drafts on his desk, and he was forced to sit in front of the desk by Tang Siniang, with a dazed expression on his face.

Xu Lai glanced at one of the books in the stack, and the recommendation on the cover was - a classic masterpiece that gathered the entanglement of monsters and human beings in one volume.

This is a must-read for every monster.

Driven by curiosity, Xu Lae pulled out the book.

Opening the table of contents, this book can basically summarize the division and introduction of human beings in a few words, and the division of human beings is even more simple and crude.

"Human beings can be roughly divided into four types"——

Human woman, edible, delicious, juicy and nutritious;

Human male, edible, with excellent meat quality, quite strong and rich in nutrition;

Elderly human beings, edible, hard to chew, full of food, less nutritious;

human baby...

……

Xu Lai silently closed the cookbook.
