me and my monster neighbor

Director Luo said to Xu Lai in great embarrassment: "Only I know that you, little comrade, were pregnant because of self-fertilization, which resulted in the temporary loss of demon power, so you had to take refuge in Zhongnan Cave. But I promised you that you would keep it secret for you first, so no Tell Si Niang clearly, but Si Niang has been holding on to the fact that you entered the estrus period on the second day after you first came to Zhongnandong, blocking my words, saying that you appeared here with ulterior motives, alas, I am really too difficult ..."

Xu Lala was silent for a while, thought for a while, and said, "Tang Siniang doesn't know the truth, and she is afraid that I will harm other neighbors by staying in Zhongnan Cave. This is also for the sake of other neighbors. She is a dedicated and excellent worker of the Women's Federation."

When Director Luo heard that Xu Lai was so sensible, he hurriedly echoed: "That's right, little comrade, don't think that Siniang is targeting you. Siniang also really cares about the neighbors, and her work attitude is also very good. Definitely worth it!"

Seeing that Xu Lai nodded in agreement, Director Luo hurriedly continued to analyze the situation for Xu Lai and said, "Besides, our local monsters in Zhongnan Cave never engage in xenophobic practices. Once you enter this cave, everyone will live in the same cave and die in the same cave. But at present The most important question is, little comrade, you have to think about whether you want to settle down as soon as possible. You are currently only staying in Zhongnandong temporarily, and this is also the key point that Si Niang has been using to suppress and coerce me. ..."

Director Luo rubbed his hands together nervously, and with a penitent smile showing his scorched lower front teeth, he asked, "Little comrade, what do you think?"

Naturally, the rights and interests of the settled residents should be given priority. It is really unreasonable for Xu Lai to keep Tang Siniang's self-introduction and pregnancy a secret, but also delays in settling down.It was also difficult for Director Luo to be caught between Xu Lai and Tang Siniang.

Xu Lala leaned against the door frame, subconsciously resting her right hand on her lower abdomen.

Through a layer of school uniform jacket and stockings, he felt the outline of the stone egg with his palm.

Xu Lala said: "Even if I settle down in a hurry now, Tang Siniang will only feel that I don't sincerely want to stay in Zhongnan Cave."

After all, when Tang Siniang hadn't jumped out to ask Xu Lai to be repatriated, Xu Lai pushed three times and said that he had to consider the matter of settlement. Tang Siniang jumped out and strongly demanded Director Luo to expel him from Zhongnan Cave, and Xu Lai easily changed his words and said that he would settle down.

The attitude changes too quickly and perfunctorily, and it is true that there is no sincerity.

The reasoning was indeed the same, and Director Luo was so worried that he plucked a bunch of hair on his forehead.

Xu Lale said kindly, "Director Luo, don't worry, I also believe that Tang Siniang really cares about women, as long as I confess to her that my original intention of coming to Zhongnan Cave is just to take refuge during pregnancy, it should be eliminated. She's worried."

Director Luo was overjoyed when he heard it, and he stopped pulling his hair. He stroked his palms repeatedly, stomped his cane and said, "It's so good! It's so good!"

Director Luo was overjoyed, and cautiously brought up the old story again: "Then... As for the settlement, what do you think, little comrade..."

Xu Lala said: "I didn't directly choose to settle down two days ago, because I still don't trust you. After getting along with each other these two days, I also believe that you are good neighbors, but..."

When Xu Lai changed the subject, Director Luo swallowed nervously and asked, "What?"

Xu Lai looked at Director Luo steadily, and said, "But the work and rest of Zhongnan Village follow the instructions of evening drums and morning bells. The roads are not lit, and the roads are not lit at night. I don't believe it is true. It's just that Zhongnandong is short of resources and it is difficult to travel at night as you said. .What is the secret of Zhongnan Cave? If I want to live here for a long time, Director, I have the right to know the real situation first, right?"

Director Luo nodded and said "it should be so" and "this is your legal right", while stacking his hands and subconsciously circling the handle of the crutch back and forth.

Director Luo sorted out his thoughts, and explained: "It's like this, the monster who is in charge of ringing the bell every morning and beating the drum at night in Zhongnan Cave is the mastiff spirit who lives in Room [-] on the west side. I don’t know his real name, but he is the biggest noise maker in Zhongnandong. We secretly call him the factory manager. He also likes to play with these Zen Sanskrit sounds on weekdays. When he first moved in, he often disturbed the people and was called by neighbors. After we made many complaints, we specially held a seminar for him, and the meeting made the final decision, and he was specially allowed to ring the bell three times in the morning and three drums in the evening.”

This result was unanimously approved by both parties, and the first residents meeting in Zhongnandong was successfully concluded, which is considered a happy event for all.

Xu Lala frowned unobtrusively, then asked with a smile, "What does this have to do with staying out at night?"

Director Luo's eyes dodged, and he hesitated to say: "Morning bells and evening drums have nothing to do with staying out at night... It has to start with the location of Zhongnan Cave.

"Walk to the poor place of water and sit and watch the clouds rise. This is the place where Zhongnan Cave is located. The north is water, which belongs to the most yin, and the south is fire, which belongs to the most yang. Zhongnan cave is located at the southern end of the mainland, especially It is during the day when the yang energy is at its peak, and the living souls and resentful spirits in the south hide their whereabouts during the day. It is said that at night, Zhongnan Cave will be connected to the Yin world. It's the way home. But as long as you don't go out at night, you will be safe and sound. Living things don't block the way of the dead, and the dead don't enter the gate of life. This is also a rule. Then again, there will occasionally be a grand event of night walks here! "

At the end of Director Luo's speech, his tone changed from secretive to proud.

Xu Lai remained silent.

Director Luo quickly added: "Although it sounds scary, as long as we close our doors at night, the living souls and resentful spirits are also our good neighbors. We live in harmony and do not interfere with each other..."

Xu Lale: "..."

Living souls and resentful spirits like yin the most, and water is the most yin, so Zhongnan Cave turns into a village on the water at night, which makes sense.

And the Lamentation Song for Lamenting Women, played in the middle of the night, has actually become appropriate to the situation and the situation...

When Xu Lai first heard that he wanted to be a neighbor with ghosts, although his mind was complicated, but after thinking about it calmly, his current neighbors are full of leopard spirits, black bear spirits, camel spirits... most of them are villains and monsters in fairy tales, and Compared with living souls and resentful spirits, how much better is it?

At least being neighbors with ghosts doesn't interfere with each other, so you don't have to deal with them every day.

Xu Lala quickly accepted the reality, and said calmly: "If it's just like this, I can accept living in Zhongnan Cave."

Director Luo was stunned for a moment. He also prepared a whole lot of persuasive speeches that were useless, and praised from the bottom of his heart: "Little comrade, you are indeed a foreign monster who has seen the world!"

Director Luo gave Xu Lai a thumbs up, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "I didn't dare to tell you directly at first, because I was worried that you would be afraid of resentful spirits, and most monsters who wanted to hide in Zhongnan Cave to avoid disasters would be bold. Little afraid of getting into trouble, but at the same time very taboo about souls."

Director Luo was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Little comrade, why don't you go to the office with me to fill out the settlement form now? Let's streamline the process and register the basic information of the household first?"

Xu Lala nodded in agreement, and said, "However, before that, I think I have to trouble Director Luo to negotiate with Tang Siniang first, tell her all about my situation, and settle down after getting her understanding. She may It's more acceptable."

The main reason was that Xu Lala didn't want to face the aggression of Tang Siniang, a "slightly" and "extreme" feminist, and wanted to ask Director Luo, a public servant of the residents, to help him block the guns first.

Director Luo readily agreed. Leaning on crutches and supporting his old waist, he turned around and ran to Tang Siniang's room No. [-].

Seeing Director Luo leave, Xu Lala locked the door and went back to the room, and sprayed himself with perfume a few times.

What he is most worried about every day now is the duration of the perfume.

If I knew it earlier, I should have bought a strong fragrance.

Director Luo went there for an hour, rushed to knock on the door of Xu Lela's room with Tang Siniang, carrying the registration form for household registration in a hurry.

Accompanied by the two demons was a handsome young man with round eyes and two small antlers on his head. His natural curly honey-brown short hair was fluffy and soft.

He was looking up at the roses on the wall. He was about 1.7 or [-] years old and about [-] meters tall. He was wearing a plain striped shirt and white slacks with rolled-up sleeves and trouser legs. A pair of white high-top canvas shoes stepped into a splayed figure.The whole set of clothes was a little oversized, but it was as lazy and comfortable as the warm autumn sun when it was put on him. It looked clean and cute, but there was a piece of medical gauze from an unknown wound on the side of his neck.

After Director Luo and Tang Siniang entered the room, he was still holding the door frame, standing at the door secretly looking at Xu Lai, very shy.

Tang Siniang turned her head and yelled at him, hissing and beckoning: "Lu Ji, come here!"

The young boy called "Lu Ji" ran in timidly and hid behind Tang Siniang.

The second meeting between Tang Siniang and Xu Lai was after Xu Lai had just read the article "On behalf of the majority of women to discuss the essence of stones" which denounced the essence of stones.

Xu Lala showed an awkward yet polite smile to Tang Siniang. Tang Siniang's attitude towards Xu Lala had changed 180 degrees compared to the first meeting at the well yesterday, as if she had forgotten yesterday's bad words.

She smiled sweetly, spoke softly, and was gentle and considerate: "I have heard Director Luo talk about sisters, so you can relax and raise your baby in Zhongnan Cave. There are honest monsters here, and with me here, you must I won't let you be bullied!"

Xu Lale: "..."

Yesterday's enemy is today's sister.

Xu Lala kept smiling and said, "Thank you."

Tang Siniang then hurriedly pushed out the little boy hiding behind her, and warmly introduced: "This is Dr. Luji, who is well-received in our Zhongnandong, and I specially brought him here to help you look at the condition of the fetus!"

"..."

Hearing this, Xu Lala's smile froze and his eyes moved down. Only then did he notice that the shy boy in front of him still had a stethoscope hanging around his neck...

Tang Siniang enthusiastically pushed the shy and timid boy forward, and Xu Lala subconsciously backed away.

There is actually a veterinarian in the village where monsters gather, this is a major mistake made by Xu Lai.

And if you make a mistake, you will lose your life...

Xu Lala thought seriously about the possibility of rushing to the kitchen area or bedside to kill the Three Demons with the water from the source of Jiutian River.

...absolutely zero.

Xu Lala just took two steps back when he bumped into the leg of the chair. He fell down on the chair, turned around and saw Director Luo pushing the back of the chair and said to him, "Comrade, sit down quickly, pregnant women will be tired after standing for a long time!"

Xu Lala was attacked back and forth, and the boy's stethoscope was already aimed towards his stomach...

Xu Lai resignedly closed his eyes.

Dr. Luji listened to Xu Lala's fetal heartbeat with a stethoscope. He frowned slightly, listened for a long time with his mouth puffed out, then took off the stethoscope and said, "There is no fetal heartbeat."

Xu Lale's eyelids twitched, and he replied, "Stones naturally don't have a heartbeat."

Doctor Lu Ji stretched out his tender little hand to gently press on Xu Lai's abdomen, and when he touched the edge of the stone egg, a look of astonishment flashed across his brows and eyes.But all he said was, "It's hard to the touch."

Xu Lala was so nervous that his heart was pounding, but he still pretended to be calm and said nonsense: "The stone should be so hard."

Dr. Luji simply finished the two routine examinations, nodded softly, and agreed with Xu Lale's words: "Indeed...it is indeed the case. Although I don't know anything about Shitou Jing, the condition of the fetus is similar to that of Lae Lae. What the husband said is exactly the same, I think the fetus should be very healthy, everyone can rest assured~"

"?"

Xu Lai opened his eyes.

Where did this quack doctor come from?
