Little Bosses and Little Monsters

After Xiaohe left, Shu Jing went to a certain wall in the yard, touched bricks one by one, felt a loose one, knocked on it, and there was a muffled sound inside, Shu Jing buckled the brick down, and the inside of the brick wall I don’t know when it was hollowed out, and there are some scattered gadgets in it, including the missing buttons of several of his clothes, an old pocket watch he lost somewhere long ago, his pen, There are glasses that he hasn't seen for days...

Shu Jing shook her head and said, "You really know how to pick things."

After speaking, he took out the pen without touching anything else, and put the brick back in place.

He took a pen and went into the bookstore, took off the picture of the alien beast that Xu Ran had mistaken for the painted skin, and spread it on the desk. Delicate and soft, the touch is like skin, thin as nothing.

Borrowing the warm yellow light from the small table lamp, Shu Jing slowly drew a bird in the shape of a mandarin duck with the pen on it, but it only had one wing and one eye. He drew very carefully and slowly, and Just leaving the position of the eyeball empty, the ink has a bit more luster than ordinary ink, and it seems to have a little green under the light.Ink penetrates into the paper, like needle embroidery into thick surface, smooth and deep.

After the last tail feather was drawn, Shu Jing carefully lowered his eyes.

The ink spreads like a snowflake.

Quiet alleys, old dry lamps, scattered wires, suddenly hoarse birds chirping.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk."

Something hard knocked on the bookstore door.

Shu Jing opened the door, and saw a "Mandarin Duck" that was exactly the same as his painting swaying in from the door.

The "Mandarin Duck" also has only one eye and one wing, but it is just opposite to the direction in Shu Jing's painting.

Shu Jing knelt down and touched the head of "Mandarin Duck" affectionately, but a bird showed an intoxicated expression.

Xiaohe and Youji who were hiding in the dark exchanged a look, and thought in unison: Fortunately, the vinegar jar dog is not here, otherwise there will be no peace tonight.

"Xiaoman, long time no see, how are you?"

Xiaoman suddenly turned into a woman in a cotton skirt, and joined Shu Jingfu, saying: "Hi sir, everything is fine, Xiaoman."

But Shu Jing sighed softly: "You live in peace, and I shouldn't have disturbed you."

"Sir and Xiaoman, are you still polite?"

That woman is different from Xiaohe's exquisiteness, nor is she like Peipei's bright and charming, her facial features are very ordinary, her eyebrows are slender and pale, she is like a reed in the warm water of the spring river, a ray of sunshine in front of the incense burner Green smoke is a flying catkin in the spring breeze in February, and one can tell at a glance that someone's life is light and wandering.

After she stood up straight, she suddenly saw the paintings spread out on the table. She was caught off guard, and tears welled up in her calm eyes.

It seems to meet an old friend who has returned from afar after many years.

These years are indeed many, many years, just like Xiaoman's name, no one has mentioned it for many years.

Xiaoman is her nickname, she should have a full name called Manman.

***

After Tianwang and Jiuying left the alley, they ran towards one direction with a clear purpose.

When the two came to an intersection, Tianwang stopped.

Jiuying looked around, a little confused.

"I didn't find any trace of Ping Peng."

"No, he's not here."

"But I haven't given you his stuff yet, how do you know his taste?"

"I don't need to know his smell, I just need to know the smell of the person who took him."

Jiuying didn't understand, how did Tianwang know who took the screen.

"Then what are we doing here now?"

Tianwang took out a 300 yuan contract smart phone from his pocket, opened an app skillfully, and scanned a yellow car parked by the side of the road.

Jiuying: ...? ? ?

"what are you doing?"

"Sweep shared bicycles, haven't you scanned them, I can only scan one."

Tianwang's natural tone made Jiuying even begin to suspect that he was the one with the strange brain circuit.

"We are going to rescue Ping Peng, why are we riding bicycles?"

Tianwang unlocked the lock, straddled his long legs, and turned his head to look at him mischievously: "He is a bit far away, and there is no bus at this point, so how can we get there without riding a bicycle?"

Jiuying looked at him in shock, with an expression as if to say, "Wake up, big brother, you are a demon, you run like flying and now you have to ride a bicycle??? Do you still have a little self-consciousness as a demon?"

Tianwang frowned: "Are you still going?"

Jiuying still couldn't understand why they suddenly gave up their natural skills and started riding bicycles, just like discarding all god-level skins and choosing novice equipment before a team battle, but Tianwang's attitude was too decisive, and he couldn't help taking out his phone.

It wasn't until the two of them rode their bicycles for 200 meters that Jiu Ying asked, as if awakened from a dream, "Why don't we run over?"

Just like I did when I came to you, quick and cool.

"What if someone sees it? There's no guarantee that someone won't have an X life at night."

Two monsters who have no X life rode a small yellow car and rushed towards the harbor at "fast speed".

The sound of the cruise ship's whistle and the salty sea breeze came to the front, and the two stopped outside the harbor. Although Jiuying was restless, he locked the bicycle under Tianwang's supervision.

Then they ran along the seashore to a warehouse gathering place behind the factory area.

Tianwang's footsteps stopped suddenly, and he looked solemnly at the rows of warehouses.

Jiuying carefully distinguishes the mixed smells in the air, but he doesn't know whether it's because of the cumbersome cargo or what, all kinds of weird and pungent smells are intertwined, forcing his nose to go on strike.

Tianwang said: "It's not just him, it smells like blood."

Tianwang followed the guy who caught people, so he should be the murderer, but it's not certain who the blood came from.

Jiuying's heart tightened, and the phantom of the main body appeared behind him again, and the eyes of the Hydra lit up with yellow light.

He couldn't find the smell of the screen, but he could distinguish people and things by heat.

Some warehouses have scattered yellow and red spots, which may be small animals that were transported, or small demons that were caught here.

There are several fast-moving figures in the distance, and one of them is red like a ball of fire.

At the same time he found these few, Tianwang said decisively: "It's over here."

The two of them galloped towards the red light that was about to burn. Tianwang no longer worried about being seen. When he was running at full speed, he was as fast as a flash of lightning. Jiuying followed behind him, and the snake image behind him dragged nine huge tails.

In Jiuying's eyes, those red shadows gathered together were wandering between the warehouses, and at a certain moment, they seemed to sense the existence of Tianwang and Tianwang, and after a short pause, they also quickly approached in their direction.

Turning precisely between the two warehouses, three figures also appeared at the other end, the tallest one standing at the front, and one supporting the other at the back.

Jiuying recognized at a glance that the unconscious person being supported was exactly Pingpeng.

The snake shadow suddenly swelled, a head higher than the storerooms on both sides, swaying slightly in the air, nine huge mouths opened at the same time, making a terrifying "hissing" sound, angrily threatening the coming people.

Although the tall man in front stood still, the temperature of the man in Jiuying's eyes instantly rose to a frightening level, and the fiery red figure began to turn into a very high-temperature transparent color.

Clearly, the two were intimidating each other.

The person holding the screen covered his chest with his other hand, and said hoarsely in pain: "What, what are you doing?! Dijiang, you have nothing to do and have a fever. I stand so far away from you that you are almost burned to death!"

At the same time, Tianwang waved his hand, motioning to Jiuying: "My own."

The coercion released by the two "violent tempers" was withdrawn from the body, the temperature dropped back to normal temperature, and the snake shadow disappeared.

Di Jiang turned around to help Hou Qing, who kept coughing non-stop.The small face of the screen leaning against him was pale and extremely weak.

In the blink of an eye, Tianwang and Jiuying ran in front of them.

Jiuying took the screen tent and inspected him with concern.

Tian Wang stared at the other two: "Why are you here?"

Hou Qing said: "Can't you see it? Save people."

Hou Qing has been tracking Ying Gou's whereabouts, Tianwang knows this, as for Di Jiang who hasn't seen him for a long time...

"Don't look at me like that. I just returned to the human world. I didn't expect to be dragged into a coolie when I saw this guy." Di Jiang spread his hands.

"Oh, Xu Ran is missing."

Di Jiang was stunned, obviously Hou Qing hadn't had time to tell him about it.

Jiuying froze when he heard this sentence.

"why?"

"You don't want him, and his master won't let him be with you. He was heartbroken, so he ran away from home." Tianwang didn't blink.

Di Jiang's expression suddenly became very exciting. I don't know if it was more embarrassment or more anger.

Hou Qing's peach-blossom eyes almost popped out of his sockets, he didn't tell Di Jiang that it was because of his suddenness, but he never expected Tian Wang to make up a nonsense, let alone Di Jiang seemed to believe it? !

I'm too embarrassed to say such nonsense, Di Jiang, you actually believe it? !

At this time, Pingpeng woke up slowly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Jiuying's handsome face close at hand. The impact was quite strong, and Pingpeng was so frightened that his whole body bounced up.

"It's me, are you okay?"

Hou Qing sneered: "Half of the soul is lost, are you okay to take a look?"

Jiuying frowned tightly, the temperament of a cold-blooded killer fit the occasion.

"What the hell is going on, who are you?"

Tianwang said: "This is Hou Qing, this is Di Jiang, he is Jiu Ying, Ping Peng's friend."

The traffic rate of these names in the demon world is similar to that of popular niches in the human world, so as long as they exchange names, they will know each other well.

Oh, these are those two old men, Di Jiang and Hou Qing, who wasted the resources of the demon world.

Oh, this is this generation of Jiuying. If there are more heads, the IQ is not enough.

Hou Qing's face changed into a gossiping smile again: "A nine-headed baby, and Ping Peng became friends? You are a very considerate friend."

His eyes fell on Jiuying's arm tightly hugging Pingpeng.

The spirit was so weak that he couldn't get back to his senses. At this moment, Pingpeng looked at Jiuying blankly: "Jiu... Jiuying...?"

Of course, Ping Peng didn't know that his only friend in the human world was also a big monster, and he was also a big monster with a reputation for viciousness.This name is not unfamiliar, but it seems to have been far away from his life.

Jiuying's aura suddenly dropped by three points.

"I'll go back and explain to you."

Tianwang's voice suddenly became very cold: "You really have to go back and explain."

Another sound of footsteps came from the other side of the barn, somewhat dragging, scraping the rough ground, reminiscent of a knife sharpened on a bone.
