me and my monster neighbor

That night, at night time.

Xu Lala had just taken a bath, probably because Zhongnan Cave was very cloudy after nightfall, and the temperature difference between day and night was large. He sat in front of the fireplace and lit a fire with his stone egg in his arms.

Xu Lala has developed a habit these days, spraying perfume on himself after taking a shower just in case, while looking at the certification seal on his left wrist.

Xu Lae's wrist is stamped with the inspection certificate issued by the Ovary Conservation Association, but it has strengthened his determination to stay in Zhongnan Cave.

Compared with the unknown world outside, after spending these days with monster neighbors, Xu Lai is more convinced that the neighbors will not harm him.Maybe they are not born kind, but they are weak and choose to live in groups in order to avoid the abuse of the big monster. Kindness is the lowest cost way of life for them to live together peacefully in Zhongnandong.

They have to be kind.

After a preliminary analysis, Xu Lai basically determined that Zhongnan Cave was the safest shelter.

Xu Lala was sitting by the fireplace, warmed by the fire, and heard the faint chirping of insects being replaced by the sound of running water, as well as the sudden dull crashing sound.

Xu Lai had to add a new conclusion to the preliminary analysis: the potential safety hazard is that he has to be neighbors with living souls and resentful spirits at night.

And tonight's ghost gate opened earlier than usual.

Xu Lala pricked up his ears to listen carefully, the dull crash seemed to be separated from him only by a wall!

The night wind came in through the gap in the window, blowing the curtains rattling, and he glanced hastily, and could faintly see the fishing fire flickering outside the window—or it should be called ghost fire.

And Xu Lai was sitting under the window at this time.

The sound of hitting the wall outside the window was not small, but Xu Lai couldn't feel the vibration of the wall through the wall.But it was the first time for Xu Lala to encounter this kind of situation. Immediately, his whole body tensed up, and he quickly squatted down under the wall, holding the perfume bottle tightly in his hand.

The sound of hitting the wall continued, bang, bang, bang... again and again, too consistent with Xu Lala's violent heartbeat, and it was especially frightening in the quiet night around.

Xu Lai kept in mind Director Luo's advice: do not go out at night, and lock the doors and windows.No matter what noise you hear, never open the door and go out.

Just as Xu Lala was silently reciting Director Luo's warning, the sound of impact outside the wall also stopped, leaving only the sound of gurgling water and the sound of frogs croaking one after another.

Xu Lala relaxed, squatting with his legs against the wall, and got up to close the window.

But when he just peeked out from a small corner of the window, he suddenly saw an ugly face with gray face and fangs sticking to the window, only a window away from him!

Xu Lala gasped, the protruding forehead and cheek skin of the head outside the window were all wrinkled, especially under the eyes there were three or four layers of eye bags, and each eye bag looked like a big fat bug crawling.

The visual impact looks horrific.

Xu Lala's brain was congested, and he couldn't even scream under the extreme fear. His throat seemed to be coughing up blood. Xu Lala felt that his heartbeat was almost stopped suddenly.

The swollen eyes outside the window were originally drooping, but perhaps they felt Xu Lai's gaze or the sound of gasping, and the eyelids fluttered open...

When he was about to raise his eyes, Xu Lala didn't know where the courage came from. He raised the perfume and sprayed it several times at his eyes. The other party groaned and covered his eyes. With quick eyes and quick hands, he quickly closed the window tightly with a "snap", and then pulled the curtains to block the window with a huff.

After doing this, Xu Lai seemed to have exhausted all his strength, the perfume bottle fell to the ground, and he hugged the stone egg and curled up in the corner to resign himself to fate.

If, as Director Luo said, living beings don't block the way of the dead, and the dead don't enter the gate of life, as long as you follow the rules, you can be safe and sound if you don't go out at night...

It was eerily quiet outside the window.

Xu Lala didn't dare to move, for fear that the ugly wrinkled demon spirit would stick out the window, or poke in from the window, staring at him lifelessly.Xu Lala was shrouded in this majestic fear, and he watched every move outside the house with excessive nervousness. At this time, the wind was raging, and any sound was enough to make him collapse on the spot.

Xu Lala's hands and feet were cold at this time, but fortunately the stone egg in his arms had just been baked by the fireplace and absorbed the heat, the surface of the stone egg was warm, Xu Lala felt a little comforted by holding it in his arms, and the trembling all over his body was calmed down a lot.

Xu Lala hugged the stone egg tightly, holding the titanium gold nameplate on his chest with one hand and pressing it to his forehead, his mind went blank. It was the first time that he was looking forward to the dawn so eagerly, and he couldn't wait to see his monster neighbors...

When the sound of insects outside the house sounded again, Xu Lai breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.

He knew he was saved.

The next day, Tang Siniang knocked on the door of Xu Lala's room, and when she opened the door, she saw a tired and pale face.

Tang Siniang was taken aback, and asked concerned: "Le La, did you not rest well last night?"

Xu Lale looked at Tang Siniang melancholy.

The water village is no secret to the official residents of Zhongnan Cave. Xu Lale said directly to Tang Siniang: "It may be a ghost hitting the wall last night, and it has been hitting my back wall."

And when Xu Lala closed his eyes in the middle of the night, he thought of that wrinkled face and couldn't fall asleep at all.

Tang Siniang nodded understandingly, pinched her chin and said sympathetically, "It's true that it will be so noisy that I can't sleep, and we can't complain about him being a nuisance."

Xu Lale:?

Tang Siniang answered very lightly, so lightly that Xu Lai had no reason to show the slightest bit of fear about last night's experience.

Seeing Xu Lala's silence, Tang Siniang patted Xu Lala's shoulder to comfort him: "Pregnant women lose their mana during pregnancy, and their hearts tend to become sensitive and nervous, and they don't feel safe. What's more, you are pregnant and have no partner to rely on. I know you must be very happy." Hard work... But Director Luo should have told you that as long as we don't go out at night, living souls and dead spirits can't enter our house without authorization, so you don't have to worry too much at night."

Xu Lala rubbed the center of his eyebrows wearily, and nodded.

Tang Siniang puffed up her chest and said, "I will be here during the day, as a member of the Women's Federation, I will do my best to protect the safety of every female!"

Xu Lala smiled at her, but he remained highly suspicious of Tang Siniang's polite words.

Seeing Xu Lala finally smiled, Tang Siniang took his hand affectionately and explained her reason for coming this morning: "Although I will protect you, females should be self-reliant. You'd better have the power to protect yourself, so from today From now on, I will train your sword skills and sword skills!"

Xu Lale:?

Tang Siniang talked to Xu Lai about two days of physical fitness, and finally enforced it starting today.

Xu Lala was taken back to Room [-] where Tang Siniang lived.

All the houses in Zhongnan Cave face south and north, and Tang Siniang's No. [-] house is right in front of Xu Lai, and there is a flower corridor made of wisteria flowers connecting the two ends.

Wisteria flowers and vine roses can be seen everywhere in Zhongnan Village. The vines are full of flowers and grow gratifyingly.

Only Tang Siniang's No. [-] house opened up an open space, surrounded by fences, and specially planted herbs.

Xu Lale approached and saw a small wooden sign on the fence, with the words "Herbivores and chickens not allowed to enter" written on the wooden sign.

Seeing Xu Lala's puzzled face, Tang Siniang took the initiative to explain: "Hey! I'm just afraid that Xiao Luji and Niu Ge Niu Sister will eat my flowers indiscriminately, and the chickens raised by the widow's family will also be suspected of breaking out of prison and ruining my flowers, so I set up a notice in advance. warning sign."

Xu Lala was surprised and said, "Widow A raised chickens?"

Tang Siniang pushed the door open and entered the house, and replied nonchalantly: "Yes, the widow's chickens used to be free-range in Zhongnan Cave, and I hate them for ruining my flowers and plants. It's because they used to be NO. The neighbors in Room 13 hate chickens the most, so they kept them in captivity."

Xu Lala let out a "huh", this is the first time he heard about the residents in front of No.13 house, and hurriedly asked: "What kind of monster is the original No.13 house resident?"

Tang Siniang didn't turn her head back and said, "He's a centipede."

Xu Lale:?

Xu Lai stood still in place.

Hold.

He thought of the stockings in the cupboard at home, especially the sock that was stuffed with stone eggs and tied around his stomach...

Thinking that these stockings might have been worn by centipede spirits, Xu Lai felt goose bumps all over his body, especially his belly that was in close contact with the stockings was itchy.

Xu Lala endured the discomfort, and as soon as he followed Tang Siniang to the door, he smelled a quiet orchid fragrance, which was exactly the same as Tang Siniang's scent.He looked up and saw that Tang Siniang's entire room was hung with flowerpots, in which were planted various varieties of orchids, almost occupying most of the space in the room.There is also a large shelf standing against the wall, with glass boxes neatly placed on it, and all kinds of small bugs are kept in it... I think this is Tang Siniang's granary.

The goose bumps on Xu Lae's body fell all over the ground, and he hurriedly looked away.

There is a simple table and chairs in the room, and there is an old-fashioned domestic tape recorder on the table, but there is no bed.

Xu Lala faintly smelled a faint smell of blood, he frowned, followed the smell, and saw Tang Siniang's petite body coming out of the corner, blocking him, Tang Siniang was holding a serrated knife and a A sharp spiked dagger.

Tang Siniang stuffed the sword into Xu Lala's arms, put her palms together, put her face sideways and said cutely: "These two weapons are more convenient to hand, the cone sword restrains movement, and the saw knife cuts flesh like mud, I give them to you! And oh, you must remember to carry food reserves with you, otherwise it will be bad if you are hungry."

Tang Siniang gave Xu Lai all the money, patted the small pink fanny pack on her waist, and unzipped the tie, and inside was a bunch of squirming bugs...

Xu Lale: "..."

Xu Lala respected and thanked Bumin, took the sword quickly, and turned to go outside the house.

Xu Lala himself did not resist Tang Siniang's intention to teach him how to practice swords and swords. On the contrary, in a world where monsters are rampant, being unarmed will only make him more flustered. Xu Lala just doubts whether such a cold weapon is real for monsters. Lethal.

Xu Lala walked outside, and he raised the dagger, which was slender and smooth, with a sharp tip, shining in the sun.

Tang Siniang came over and instructed Xu Lai to hold the knife: "Don't leave a gap between the palm of your hand and the handle of the knife."

Xu Lala held it firmly, but the hilt of the dagger was too thin, Xu Lala's fingernails poked into his palm, leaving room for the sword.

Tang Siniang grabbed Xu Lala's wrist sharply and said, "Let me cut your nails for you first."

Just as Xu Lala agreed, Tang Siniang took the serrated knife from him.

Xu Lale:?

I saw Tang Siniang holding a two-foot serrated knife in one hand, and holding Xu Lala's index and middle fingers with the other hand, raising and lowering the knife neatly.

Xu Lala couldn't even see the afterimage of Tang Siniang wielding the knife. He only saw Tang Siniang's big sleeves fluttering. His fingernails were intact, but there was a small scratch of two to three centimeters on the back of his hand...

Xu Lala's hands were cold, his legs were weak, and he almost knelt down.

Tang Siniang's eyes widened, and she took Xu Lai's hand to look closer in disbelief, her whole body trembled like chaff, and she screamed, "I'm sorry, wow! I'll go to the little doctor Luji to treat your wound immediately! The Ovary Conservation Association saw that your vital signs have declined, and they will definitely run over and execute me right away!"

Tang Siniang wailed and howled so that Xu Lala thought he had broken several fingers.

He withdrew his hand tremblingly, and saw that the wound was very shallow, like a cat's paw scratching, the skin was scratched, slightly reddened, and even a small drop of blood could not be secreted, it was completely fine.

He tried to comfort Tang Siniang and let her calm down, but failed to stop her. Tang Siniang had already rushed to catch the little doctor Luji.

The sleepy-eyed Mrs. Lu Ji was still wearing warm yellow pajamas. He rubbed his eyes, then took out a roll of medical gauze in a daze, and wrapped Xu Lai's palm into rice dumplings.

Xu Lala politely refused: "It's okay, the wound doesn't even bleed, and there is no problem with bandaging."

However, Tang Siniang was about to cry with fright, her eyes were red, and she was so nervous that she couldn't listen to other words. She rubbed her fingers uneasily, and kept urging the little doctor Lu to wrap up more layers.

"..."

The communication was ineffective, and Xu Lai watched as his palm was bandaged into a mallet.

Tang Siniang wiped her tears and rejoiced: "Fortunately, La La is worthy of being a stone spirit, and her body is very hard, otherwise I would have cut off my palm just now."

Xu Lala was afraid after hearing this for a while, and he was also very grateful in his heart, thankful that Tang Siniang's sword skills were inaccurate.

It wasn't until Director Luo found Xu Lai panting on crutches that Dr. Luji stopped bandaging him.

Director Luo was sweating profusely from running, and was overjoyed when he saw Xu Lai, and couldn't wait to call Xu Lai: "Little comrade! Little comrade! I found you!"

Director Luo saw clearly that Xu Lai's hands were wrapped with bandages, and he was taken aback and said, "Did your hands hurt???"

Xu Lala waved his hands and said it was okay, and asked, "Director Luo, what do you want from me?"

Director Luo said: "Follow me quickly, the staff of the Ovary Protection Association are still waiting for you to answer the phone!"

As soon as these words came out, Tang Siniang screamed.

Xu Lala also thumped in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What do they want from me?"

Director Luo blushed and said excitedly, "Happy event! Of course it is a great event! The members of the Southern Ovary Conservation Association branch called me early in the morning, saying that yesterday your information was updated on the Internet, and they made an appointment to go on a blind date with you." The consultation hotline—it’s all overwhelmed!”

Xu Lale:?

After hearing that the purpose of the Ovary Protection Association was not to execute her, Tang Siniang recovered from her fear and asked, "Really? Really?!!"

Tang Siniang and Director Luo were overjoyed.

Only Xu Lai was in a complicated mood.

Do those big monsters called TGM have such critical views on the topic of the phenomenon and essence of objectifying females?

Xu Lai felt that something was wrong.
