Curse of the Eye of the Dead

After the doll carriage for picking up and delivering Chacha started, Uo stood there until he couldn't see the tail of the carriage, then slowly turned around and went home.

The door is opened.Close it gently again.

Mr. Mantra, who had loosened his muscles and bones, began to do boring housework.

First pour the dirty clothes from the laundry basket in the bathroom into the washing machine, pour in a certain amount of laundry detergent according to the instructions, and after pressing the water level and start button, start to wipe the tables, chairs and cabinets, and clean them at least twice, especially the kitchen. Cleaned up very carefully.

After wiping, sweep and mop the floor room by room...even the dead corners of hygiene are not spared.

By the time this is done, the washing machine has generally finished running.

The next task is to take the wet clothes to the drying rack in the yard to dry.

……

For the living environment of Chacha, Mr. Juling, who spends a lot of time every day and even tires of it, is doing his best to ensure that there is no old dust in every corner of the house.

Treat it like a job.

It's serious—even to the point of squatting down with sharp eyes like a battle, squinting carefully to observe the cleanliness of the ground.

From the perspective of cleaning procedures and the scope of sanitation, the amount of daily housework in Ubuh is comparable to that of New Year's Day cleaning.

For example, when the weather is getting warmer and the sun is out after the season changes, there will be extra items from time to time [to hang the bedding on the balcony rail to dry].

...Probably only a strong non-human gentleman can easily complete such a huge workload in just two or three hours.

And it persisted for more than four months.

After finishing such a set of tedious housework, it was already 10:30.

There is no need to teach Chacha how to read and write, and there is no need to prepare lunch. Suddenly, Mana Ling, who was free, stood still in the living room, with a decadent face, and would be stunned.

"Although I wouldn't say I'm reluctant, but it seems..."

The black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit murmured in a low voice, then raised his hand to the back of his head, scratching the fluffy wool-like and cloud-like white hair.

"It seems a little uncomfortable."

Without that lively little guy by my side, I am alone...

In a trance, it seems to have seen the past 50 years.

No.

It has long been different.

Mr. Cursing, who was rubbing the back of his head, shook his head. He turned his head and looked at the tablet of Tsurumi Sachiko with his dark red eyes.

——In front of the memorial tablet, there is a small porcelain white vase with the flowers that Usheng just bought this morning, and there is a box of yogurt for Chacha to share next to it.

"...Isn't it a bit embarrassing? I clearly swore to Chacha before that [I won't be lonely anymore]."

"Ah, it really is a bit embarrassing, my lord."

Sliding doors from the living room to the edge and courtyard were opened for ventilation.

The embarrassing whisper of the tall mantra to the mother's tablet was blurred by the sound of wind and birdsong.

.

After all, Uo is a mature, rational and reliable adult.

He quickly adjusted his mentality and rearranged the time he had free after Chacha went to school.

For example, dealing with "letters from readers" sent by the publishing house.

[Editor Hiramatsu: The feedback from readers of the journal last month was really good, many readers sent letters! ]

[Editor Ping Song: I'm not surprised that "Traveler's 21 Years of Experience Notes" can receive such a level of feedback, but I didn't expect that the short fairy tales on "Huitan" could get such an enthusiastic response...]

[Editor Ping Song: Ah!Of course, I'm not saying that Teacher Kakuo's fairy tales are not well written, really not!Every word of the teacher is amazing!I've read them at least twenty times, and even have them in my collection...! ]

[Editor Ping Song: It’s just that compared with the other two journals, the audience of "Hui Tan" is more limited. We were surprised that the sales volume of last month would double. Later, we learned the reason from the website... Yes, the main point I want to say is - there are many new readers who bought "Huidan" because of you, Kakuo-sensei! ! ]

[Editor Hiramatsu: "I don't have any children in my family. At first, I just wanted to support Mr. Kakuo, so I bought "Huidan" on the recommendation of the bookstore owner... After I bought it, I was once again conquered by the teacher's words. It is worthy of being Kakuo. Teacher, even the fairy tales are still so wonderful. Although the style is completely different from "Traveler's 21 Years of Experience Notes", it is still a good article... The teacher's two fairy tales warmly made me cry. , very much looking forward to the teacher's new work next month!"]

[Editor Pingsong: This is the reply I cut off from the website, this one has the highest number of likes!Everyone is looking forward to your new story. ]

... The chatterbox editor Ping Songhe Hong's excited reply swiped the screen again.

Uno's computer kept ticking, and he watched the messages pop up one after another.

What is the number of likes...?

The computer idiot who didn't understand why Editor Ping Song could type so fast was at a loss for the news that swiped the screen.Mr. Manu Ling finally gave up the entanglement, and just tapped the words [Yes, I will continue to work hard] slowly with his fingers and sent it out.

The first batch of letters from readers sent by Editor Ping Song from the publishing house has already reached nearly a hundred.

Mr. Curse Ling, who received the courier, looked at the box full of envelopes and postcards, his face full of shock.

[Editor Pingsong: Did the teacher receive the courier? ]

[Kakuo: ...Yes, I will reply to these letters properly. ]

When Uosheng typed this sentence, he felt that his head was throbbing constantly.

So many letters... How long will it take to reply?

[Editor Ping Song: Huh?No need to reply one by one! ]

[Editor Ping Song: This is an encouragement system for readers to favorite authors and teachers, and it is not mandatory to reply! ]

Still remembering the etiquette taught by his mother, after struggling, Uo continued typing on the keyboard, [However, if the letter is not replied, it will appear impolite. ]

Hiramatsu and Hong at the other end shook their heads frantically: [No no no!Please don't think so, look at the other authors and teachers signed by our publishing house... I can say responsibly - there is really no need to reply one by one, this is just an incentive system for authors and teachers proposed and organized by the publishing house!What's more, the number of letters in the future will definitely be more than now. Although we will help to filter and filter them, it will take too long to reply to all of them. It will gradually take longer than the writing time. ]

...If you don't have time to write a manuscript in order to reply to the letter, it will not be worth the loss to the readers or to the publisher.

Although Mr. Jiaowei, who is extremely efficient, has already handed in the draft three months in advance.

[Editor Ping Song: ... If you are really uneasy, the journal actually has the author's personal column, where you can put the teacher's personal message, and most of the letters can be unified in the author's column to thank you, so if you really want to reply, Mr. Jiaowei ...selective responses are fine! ]

Mr. Curse Spirit, who didn't know much about this business, nodded slowly.

Later, the stack of letters from readers was placed in Uosu's study.

Whenever he has free time, he will go up and read the letters from readers.

Although not all of them can be answered, every letter must be read carefully.

.

mid-April.

Uno finally got used to the days when Chacha was not at home when he went to school.

Because the kindergarten has breakfast, he doesn't even have to cook breakfast now.The usual grocery shopping time is postponed until after Chacha goes to school at 07:30—unless it is a weekend holiday.

One day, a weekday.

When Uo went to the supermarket to replenish daily necessities, he happened to overhear the chatter of housewives passing by.

"Although the specials for limited time in the morning are great... But most of the time, the meat is not discounted, but the boy in my family is completely fond of meat, and he is picky about his taste. He insists on some high-end meat."

"As for the meat, can you buy it after eight o'clock in the evening?"

"After eight o'clock at night?"

"Don't you know? This supermarket focuses on fresh products...After eight o'clock, the unsold fresh products in the freezer will start to be cleared here! The lowest can even be discounted by [-] or [-]%! It's cheaper than the market."

"real or fake!?"

"Of course it's true, but it's sold out pretty fast. After all, it's a clearance... But the meat is still quite fresh. It's still delicious after you buy it home and freeze it for two or three days! After all, most people don't care too much about what's best It's time to enjoy the taste, if it's not inconvenient at night, I will come here every day to grab the special meat..."

Mr. Curse Ling stood where he was, watching the two women walking by.

He carried the shopping basket expressionlessly, but the tip of the bone tail wrapped around his waist couldn't help but move.

Specials on...meat!

Mr. Manu Ling's mind was bombarded by these five words.

His family, Chacha, likes meat dishes very, very much.

If there is meat, you can even eat an extra bowl of rice.

Therefore, when learning new recipes, Uogi mostly focused on meat dishes that affect the balance.

but.

The research of new recipes is always accompanied by countless overturn failures.

Since overcooking the caramel last time, Uo has been extremely cautious in researching new dishes.

Usually when there is no [Letter from the Reader] to reply, he would secretly practice in the kitchen while Chacha was at school.

Of course, wasting food is bad.Therefore, all the failed products of the practice went into Mr. Curse Ling's own stomach. Anyway, he is not picky, and he will not have a stomachache.

As long as it's not too difficult to swallow like the [Cream Egg Pudding] from the first time, it's fine.

——The overcooked caramel tasted to Uo, just like the bitter concoction he drank when his body was gradually weakening.Therefore, even if he knew that he would not spoil his stomach, he really couldn't swallow it.

all in all.

Practicing recipes definitely requires materials.

Compared with the fresh meat bought in the morning, it is better to use the special meat at night as an experiment, right?

.

"Wagyu 180g only costs 680 yen...?"

"Pork is half price too...?"

eight pm.

The newly-promoted househusband who arrived at the supermarket opened his red eyes slightly, looking at the price tags of the remaining meat in the freezer, as if seeing a new world.

Although most of the meat in the freezer at night is left over after being picked...but it is still fresh, and the price is really much cheaper.Especially high-grade beef, the price is so low that it makes people's eyes shine.

It's perfect as an experiment for practicing recipes.

Uso counted the cash in his wallet, and immediately put a lot of special meat into the shopping basket.

When he was squatting in front of the low freezer, trying to pick up a box of cheap chicken breasts that were [-]% off and very thick in the corner, his big dark hand met another small hand that belonged to a child.

Uno subconsciously withdrew his hand to avoid bumping into him, and at the same time, full of pity, he planned to give up his meat to passers-by.

But he never expected that the owner of the other hand also stopped.

"..."

"..."

The tall black-skinned curse spirit turned his head in confusion, and caught sight of the child with beautiful green eyes beside him unexpectedly.

He paused, and subconsciously looked around the child.

……no one.

And the kid with green eyes - Fu Heihui, who was shorter than the squatting Uoki even when he was standing, was dragging the shopping basket by himself. He raised his little head slightly and looked at the gentleman with a calm expression.

Why does such a small child come out alone to buy discounted goods at night...?

Why does this kind gentleman appear like air every time, without any sense of existence...?

Mr. Manu Ling didn't speak, and Fu Heihui didn't speak, and the two had their own doubts in their hearts.

The atmosphere fell into silence for a while.
