I am a beast! [interstellar]

Tu Shanjiu didn't expect Jody to wake up.

Thanks to the weed that Tu Shanjiu used as incense, Jody's sleep quality has always been very good, and he basically sleeps until dawn every night.

Today was probably too exciting to play during the day. When Jody was sleeping, his brain was still thinking about the day's affairs, and his sleep was lighter than usual, and Tu Shanjiu was also pestered by him to talk and forgot to order some weeds, so he sneaked out in the middle of the night Just got caught.

Before Tu Shanjiu could think of an excuse to go to the bathroom, Jody figured it out.

"Is he going to see what the grown-ups do tonight?"

Jody remembers this very clearly. He and Tu Shanjiu are in the same class and at the same table. Tu Shanjiu’s ears are sharp. Although Jody’s hearing is not as good as his, it’s not bad. After all, his gene mutation is reflected in this pair of furry ears. On the Internet, Tu Shanjiu dances every day, even though he has not officially started learning magic, but under the nourishment of spiritual energy, his five senses are becoming more and more sensitive, not only hearing, but also vision, smell, touch and even taste are stronger than before.

So Jody also heard the conspiracy of the big classmates at the back table. Not only did he hear it clearly, but he also saw the curiosity and thoughtfulness that Tu Shanjiu showed at that time.

It is said that cats are very curious, but Jody believes that his Jiujiu's curiosity is not weaker than cats at all.

Although Tu Shanjiu has always thought that he is very stable and is a calm patriarch in front of Jody, but Jody has always known that his Jia Jiujiu is actually a fox who is very keen on trying new things and loves all kinds of gossip.

Taking advantage of his innate advantages, Tu Shanjiu has mastered many little secrets of the people around him, but although he likes to listen to gossip, he doesn't like to talk about it—it's just that he always thinks that if there is any gossip, he just knows it and just laughs about it secretly. Why take it out and say it's a gossip - so no one except Jody has discovered his essence.

And the reason why Jody noticed the reality under these appearances was because he was paying attention to Tu Shanjiu all the time.

So what exactly Tu Shanjiu was going to do tonight, Jody guessed it the moment he thought about it.

Hearing that he guessed it, Tu Shanjiu stopped making up stories to coax him, and just nodded and admitted: "Yes, I just want to see what they are going to do mysteriously."

Even Dean Leman was invited to participate in the mysterious ceremony tonight, and even many of the tourists from outside were interested in it. It's just that children like them can't participate, so how can we not make people curious?

Tu Shanjiu even guessed whether it would be some kind of ceremony that is not suitable for children, but after thinking about it, everyone is not like that, and with Dean Lehman's character, her willingness to go means that this mysterious party held in the middle of the night should be is legitimate and healthy.

Jody got up: "I'm going too."

"No, you are a child, you can't go." Tu Shanjiu disagreed. He felt that since the adults here did not allow children to participate, they must have their own reasons. Maybe it would be really unsuitable for children to see. picture, so bring Jody?impossible.

Jody said: "You are also a child, so you can't go either."

His meaning is very clear, either take him, or everyone should not go.

Jody doesn't like Tu Shanjiu leaving himself behind every time something happens, it will make him have a strong sense of insecurity, just like the last time he ran to catch those strange-looking birds, and earlier, he When you want to lose yourself to those who escaped from the rescue pod on the Star Thief ship.

Jody remembered everything, piece by piece.

He was very afraid that one day his Jiujiu would suddenly leave him and never come back.

Forget about catching the bird, he really didn’t have the ability to help him, but what they are doing now is not dangerous. Let Tu Shanjiu act alone.

Even though he is young, he still knows the importance and urgency.

Tu Shanjiu's eyes widened in disbelief, for he had learned how to open his eyes and talk nonsense.

"Say it again?! Who is the child?"

"You're a child now!" Jody didn't want to be outdone, and even leaned over to compare the heights of the two of them: "You're still shorter than me."

The biggest wound was poked by someone, and salt water was poured on it by the way, Tu Shanjiu felt his heart hurt so badly that he wanted domestic violence!

Jody's will to survive is very strong. When he found that Tu Shanjiu's eyes were wrong, he immediately changed his approach, grabbed his hand and acted coquettishly: "Jiujiu, take me with you~"

I learned this trick from the little girl Shanny. The adopted children all live on the same street. When Jody walks with Tu Shanjiu, she can often see the little girl acting like a baby with her adoptive parents, and this trick is very powerful. , As long as it is used, it is basically responsive.

But the smart Jody knows that if the nirvana is often used, it may not work well one day, so he seldom acts like a baby to Tu Shanjiu, and good steel is always used on the blade.

Sure enough, Tu Shanjiu had nothing to do with that coquettish brat, but it didn't mean he would forget what this guy just said.

He punished him with a smirk.

In the end, the real kid whose face was all swollen was taken out by the fake kid.

They went out in the dark and followed the adults gathered in the square.

There were quite a few children who ran out without sleep in the middle of the night to follow them. In the dark, Tu Shanjiu saw that the adults in the square had experienced adults picking out children from all kinds of hidden corners. All of them were handed over to the temporary "guard team" and they sent them home in person.

Presumably, after these children go back, the "care" from the parents will definitely impress them deeply.

When Tu Shanjiu took Jody to hide, it was naturally impossible for these people to find him. He searched in the crowd, and soon found Dean Lehman.

Today's Dean Lehmann did not wear the iconic black professional outfit. She changed into a light-colored casual outfit for a rare occasion. Her hair also looked well-groomed. A pair of golden pearl earrings were on the earlobes. Ye Ye was shining brightly, his whole person looked exquisite and elegant, his serious face was also wearing a faint but deep-eye smile at this time, and he was talking to the man beside him.

Tu Shanjiu knew that man, he was also a resident of Dou Town, he was also a farmer, and he was the only one who was single but often went to the orphanage instead of seeing his children.

Tu Shanjiu knew a long time ago that he was interested in Dean Lehman, and now it seems that the dean has no feelings at all.

Without disturbing the dean's date, Tu Shanjiu turned his eyes away, and habitually looked for the faces he was familiar with.

Tu Shanjiu originally thought that tonight's mysterious ceremony should be the kind of group activity that all adults in Quandou Town would go to, but it didn't seem to be the case.

At this time, a lot of people have gathered in the square, all of whom live in Dou Town today, but there are very few local residents. Most of the residents have been entertaining tourists in the farm these days, so they have been staying at night for the past few days. They went back to the farm, so there were naturally fewer residents in the town. At a glance, Tu Shanjiu saw that most of them were tourists still in the town, and there were few familiar faces.

The reason why they can be found among a large group of tourists is because these people from Bean Town are standing with Dean Lehman and the others at this time, and they are still holding things in each other's hands, which seem to be prepared for tonight's ceremony , Those tourists gathered around and consciously made room for them, so Tu Shanjiu saw them at a glance.

In total, there may be less than 100 people.

Moreover, except for the leading mayor who is very old among these people, everyone else is relatively young, and both Dean Lyman and her suitor are considered old.

In addition, Tu Shanjiu also found that these people were all in pairs, either husband and wife or lovers, and the mixing of Dean Laiman and her suitor could well explain their relationship.

But they are also husband and wife, and many people who have not left Douzhen today have not come to participate in this event.

Tu Shanjiu didn't see Justin's adoptive parents. Similarly, he didn't see Geer and Shanni's adoptive parents either. Those who are married, or those who are married and have no children, vaguely, he feels that he probably knows the nature of this event.

Nine times out of ten it is seeking a child.

It's no wonder that adults don't let children participate, and those who already have children don't need to participate.

But with Dou Xing's fertility rate, will this kind of activity really have any effect?

He was skeptical.

In fact, the Douxing people themselves don't really believe that this midnight ceremony can satisfy their desire to have children, so now fewer and fewer people will participate in the ceremony, and only those who need to get married or get married soon will participate, because this ceremony It also has the meaning of wishing a better life after marriage.

As for seeking a child, it can only be said that the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom.

While Tu Shanjiu was observing, the adults in the square had searched all the suspicious places, and after confirming that no children had escaped, they were ready to go.

After the Douxing people’s ceremony started, tourists were not restricted from taking photos and videos, but apart from the locals, there were actually not many tourists who would go with them. In addition, these tourists were very happy to cooperate with the Douxing people’s tradition of not revealing to their children— —This is probably the common bad taste of adults—so the children still don’t know that they are actually played by the adults together.

And when the child who has been tricked grows up, he is naturally very happy to see someone follow in his footsteps, isn't it?

It is this kind of bad taste that makes this actually not mysterious ceremony become an insoluble mystery in children's childhood.

And now, the people who were going to participate in the ceremony finally set off.

The author says:

Today I went to three houses in one day. In the morning, I went to see my grandma for dinner at my second uncle’s house. In the afternoon, I went to my uncle’s house for dinner. I went to my second aunt’s house for dinner. Tired to death, although such days are coming to an end, but I feel like I am useless.

Tomorrow, I will invite my mother and the others at my house, alas, I am going to bed.
