My Mr. Monster

"It's really nice here, with mountains and water. There are even fish in the river, so we don't have to worry about food and drink."

Wu Yang stood on the road and looked at the distant mountains. The clouds covered the top of the mountain, and there were rows of houses at the foot of the mountain, and a river stretched down from the end.

"Remember what I said, don't run around, don't get into conflicts with others, and most importantly, don't hurt anyone," Lu Xuan warned.

"I know. You've been nagging me all the way." Wu Yang said.

"I'm so hungry, can you walk faster?" Wu Yang urged Lu Xuan.

"I told you to bring two loaves of bread, but you didn't want to." Lu Xuan rolled his eyes.

"Is that it?" Wu Yang pointed to a place with many buildings in the distance.

Lu Xuan nodded.

"Then why don't you just go straight ahead? What road are you taking?"

"It will dirty my shoes, and I don't like walking in those places," said Lu Xuan.

"Have you ever fished in that river?"

"I've been here before with my grandfather, but only once. But the fish in this river are quite delicious."

"I can go and fish it out. I can swim a little bit," said Wu Yang.

"No, it is said that people have drowned there, and when I was a child I heard from the older generation that there were water ghosts and so on. I am still scared when I look at deep water areas." Lu Xuan said.

Wu Yang was a little surprised. "Are they even scarier and more disgusting than the monsters in my world? You're actually afraid of them?"

When Lu Xuan heard this, he felt that there was something wrong with Wu Yang's words, but after thinking about it, he couldn't clearly explain what the problem was. He had heard about water ghosts almost since he was a child, but he had never seen one, but that didn't stop him from being afraid of it.

"It's unknown, I haven't seen it, so I'm afraid."

"Is this rumored water ghost really that powerful? Can it kill me?"

When Lu Xuan heard Wu Yang's words, he didn't know how to respond. He knew very well how difficult Wu Yang was to kill. The most common thing he heard about water ghosts was that they would drag people into the water and drown them...

Wu Yang could knock the monsters in his world’s heads crooked or even fracture their bones with one punch… The water monkeys only drowned people…

Suddenly it seemed self-evident.

"It shouldn't be possible..." Lu Xuan answered in a low voice.

"Where's that water ghost? I'll catch one for you to play with." Wu Yang pointed at the river. "It should be in the deep water. Maybe I can catch a big fish. I haven't eaten fish in a long time."

"Let's not do that... Safety first." Lu Xuan immediately dismissed Wu Yang's dangerous idea.

"Okay..." Wu Yang was a little disappointed.

Suddenly, he saw something interesting. He pulled Lu Xuan and pointed to the road ahead and said, "There's a snake. Do you want a snack?"

Lu Xuan was startled and started to run away. Wu Yang, who was standing beside him, had already reached the front of the snake without him knowing when. In Lu Xuan's incredible eyes, Wu Yang's movements were almost too fast to be seen clearly. When he reacted, the snake was already in Wu Yang's hand.

The snake's tail wrapped around Wu Yang's arm and kept tightening, but it was obvious that no matter how it tightened, it had no effect on Wu Yang, and the snake's head was pinched by fingers so that the mouth could not open.

"Aren't you afraid of snakes?" Lu Xuan didn't dare to get close. "You were bitten last time and now you're catching a snake?"

"I'm scared." Wu Yang said as he exerted force with his fingers. Lu Xuan heard some sounds of broken bones. The snake kept twitching and it took a long time before it completely lost its life.

"You're not afraid of a ghost... But I know this snake. I think my grandfather and others said it was called a rat snake. It's not poisonous." Lu Xuan said, "But why would you kill it? It can only scare people. It won't kill people and will eat mice."

It is true that Lu Xuan is afraid of snakes, but what he fears most are poisonous snakes. Compared with rat snakes, he has a higher tolerance. It is okay to scare him as long as they are not bitten.

"Snack." Wu Yang said, shaking the heavy rat snake.

"Where are you going for a snack? Sashimi?" Lu Xuan was speechless.

Wu Yang was silent. He looked at the snake in his hand and felt it was a pity to throw it away. After all, it was still a piece of meat.

As the two of them were hesitating, an old man came over. Seeing that he was staring at the snake in Wu Yang's hand, Lu Xuan asked directly, "Uncle, do you want a snake? I just caught a rat snake on the roadside. I'll sell it to you for fifty yuan. It's already dead."

"Fifty?" The old man seemed a little surprised at the price.

"Fifty, we don't eat snakes." Lu Xuan said.

"This must be about five or six pounds."

"Well, do you want it? If you do, I'll sell it to you." Lu Xuan said bluntly.

The old man thought about it and took out a colorful stack of money from his pocket. He took out fifty yuan, looked at Lu Xuan and then at Wu Yang, and for a moment he didn't know who to give it to.

Lu Xuan took the money and said to Wu Yang, "Give him the snake, and we'll go to the market."

Wu Yang had no choice but to give away the meat. He wanted to find Lu Xuan to complain, but the next second Lu Xuan took out two red bills from his wallet and handed them to him along with the money from selling the snake.

"Spend this money yourself. Fifty bucks can buy you a lot of things in the countryside. Do you want to go shopping with me or by yourself?"

“A person is insecure.”

"That's fine. I'm also afraid you'll cause trouble for me." Lu Xuan said as he came to the bridgehead. He pointed to the shop at the bridgehead and asked, "Would you like some tea eggs to fill your stomach?"

"Okay, I want five. Buy me a bottle of water," said Wu Yang.

"Okay, wait for me over there." Lu Xuan said.

The two walked in harmony all the way. Wu Yang ate the tea egg bite by bite, and finished it in a few bites. He also drank a bottle of mineral water.

"How full are you?" Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask.

Wu Yang estimated it and said, "About two points full."

"Okay, we're almost there. Let's go eat first. What do you want to eat?"

"You recommend it, so I'll just eat it." Wu Yang said indifferently.

"Then let's eat buns and noodles." Lu Xuan couldn't find anything delicious, after all, it was just a small village.

When Wu Yang came to the street, he looked around curiously. As soon as he arrived, he smelled the fragrance. There were people selling vegetables, clothes, fruits, all kinds of things.

"Buy me some watermelon. There's a cart of watermelons over there."

"Let's have breakfast first, and then go shopping after we're full." Lu Xuan said as he led Wu Yang to the noodle shop on the street.

After breakfast, Lu Xuan looked at his wallet thoughtfully. Wu Yang had just spent almost a hundred yuan on his meal. He couldn't understand how he could finish it.

However, thinking that there was still some savings in his bank card, Lu Xuan did not feel bad for too long. When he had time, he could sell those gems and so on to make a profit.

"I have to say that the food we eat over there is really bland. The ordinary noodles here taste so good." Wu Yang took a bottle of drink and poured it into his mouth, while savoring the breakfast he had just had, with an expression of being unsatisfied.

"It's hard for you to live in the apocalypse. You must have never had enough to eat." Lu Xuan said.

"It's good that you understand. Enduring suffering is commonplace for me." Wu Yang sighed.

"...Tell me what you want to buy. I'll make up an identity for you when we get back, otherwise I really can't hide you."

"I'm fine. Let's go buy some watermelons," Wu Yang said. "They're delicious. In the past, only Han Song and his people would grow them in the summer. You'd hardly see them in the wild."

"This thing is very heavy, buy it last. Come on, I'll buy you a pair of shoes over there, you can wear them for now."

"alright."
