Monster Reserve Food became my husband

"Me? I can't."

After Xiao Zhuo finished speaking, he explained again: "I have taken the next month's leave to go to Emerald Island, and I have to go to work."

Zheng Qing's expression was complicated and helpless: "You are really dedicated."

Xiao Zhuo said silently, what can he do then, he has to pay the rent, and he also wants to buy all kinds of desserts and taste all kinds of delicacies, there are too many places to spend money.

But it was inevitable that he would be short of breath when he said this, so he said solemnly: "That is. Don't all human beings say that they want to do what they do and love what they do. Our monster race must also develop this fine tradition."

Zheng Qing had nothing to say, he couldn't dampen Xiao Zhuo's enthusiasm for work, so he nodded and didn't say anything more.

On the day of work, Xiao Zhuo went to the company with bags of special products.

Both Zhu Xiu'an and Dong Hui received a few special products full of sincerity, and they repeatedly praised Xiao Zhuo for his loyalty.Dong Hui also offered to give Xiao Zhuo money, but Xiao Zhuo resolutely refused.

Dong Hui insisted: "You must have spent a lot of money buying so many things."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's fine if Xiao Zhuo doesn't accept it." Zhu Xiu'an pulled Dong Hui back, and smiled at Xiao Zhuo: "When we go out to play next time, I will bring it for you."

Xiao Zhuo said hello with a smile.

Zhu Xiu'an put away the special products, thinking of the news about Emerald Island, he was full of embarrassment.

"You're not very lucky. It's hard to go out to play once. Who knows that this kind of thing will happen. Not to mention the sea area is closed, so many people died... I heard from netizens that they all said that this time Emerald Island died. The incident has something to do with the so-called mermaid. When you went to Emerald Isle, did you see a mermaid?"

Is Chi Chi a mermaid?

Xiao Zhuo thought about it, shook his head and said he hadn't seen it.

Zhu Xiu'an is not surprised by this, after all there is a mermaid, and it's not something Xiao Zhuo, an ordinary person, can see casually.

He said mysteriously: "I also heard that a certain mysterious department of the country has been involved in this matter. It may be true. But even if it is true, we have no chance to see it."

Xiao Zhuo glanced at him, saw that Zhu Xiu'an was full of longing and yearning, and said in a low voice: "It's better not to see each other."

Whether it is a merman or a red chinchilla, it is not a blessing for humans to see them.

Zhu Xiu'an faintly heard what Xiao Zhuo was saying: "What did you say?"

Xiao Zhuo shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Zhu Xiu'an didn't think too much, and looked at the special products Xiao Zhuo brought him with great interest.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Zhuo is still working diligently.

Saturday was very busy at noon, Xiao Zhuo delivered meals continuously, and even finished the meal in a hurry.But in the evening, the number of people ordering food suddenly decreased sharply. After a few orders were delivered, there was no sound.

Xiao Zhuo couldn't help being curious about this. After all, noon and evening are the peak times for food delivery, and it's rare to see such a deserted place.

After get off work, the three of them packed up their things and went out through the back door.

Suddenly Zhu Xiu'an seriously reminded: "You all remember to go home quickly and don't stay outside."

Xiao Zhuo was puzzled and asked him why.

Zhu Xiu'an didn't expect Xiao Zhuo to be ignorant, and quickly explained solemnly: "Have you forgotten? Today is the Ghost Festival, and the gate of ghosts will open tonight, and countless ghosts will return to the world through the gate of ghosts. When the time comes This whole street is full of wandering ghosts, and you may encounter ghosts."

"What the hell?" A colleague from the Chinese restaurant happened to pass by, and immediately laughed when he heard Zhu Xiu'an's words: "Xiao An'an, I didn't expect you to be so timid and cowardly? Besides, what era is it now? You Still believe in ghosts?"

Zhu Xiu'an said angrily: "You're the one who is cowardly! I'm just taking precautions, and besides, you know that there are no ghosts in this world? If you do encounter them, you will be scared to death."

The colleague obviously didn't believe it, so he laughed and left first.

Zhu Xiu'an turned to Dong Hui again, wanting to seek his support.But Dong Hui seemed to be holding back a smile, without saying a word, he patted Zhu Xiu'an on the shoulder and left first.

"Hey, remember to go home straight away! This kind of thing would rather be believed or not!" Zhu Xiu'an shouted at Dong Hui's back.

Dong Hui rode his electric scooter away, Yao Yao waved to him.

Zhu Xiu'an felt very frustrated, with a feeling of frustration that was not understood by everyone.Only then did he realize that Xiao Zhuo hadn't left yet, so he cast hopeful eyes on him again.

Xiao Zhuo didn't wait for him to speak, and said with a smile before him: "You should hurry home too."

Zhu Xiu'an: "..."

He completely gave up struggling, greeted Xiao Zhuo and drove towards home.He didn't really believe in ghosts, he just felt that the world was so big that there must be some things that humans couldn't see.

After everyone left, Xiao Zhuo stood where he was, with a somewhat clear expression on his face.

He raised his head and looked at the moon hanging high in the sky.Tonight's moon is very round, but it is surrounded by layers of black clouds and mist. These black mist cover the full moon, making the full moon look like a huge eye without black kernels, overlooking the world eeriely , the light cast was also full of cold air.

Xiao Zhuo stretched out his hand and caught a few wisps of Yin Qi floating around, a red light flashed in the palm of his hand, and those Yin Qi disappeared without a trace.

On the way back to the villa, Xiao Zhuo saw many houses burning paper beside the road.

The thin paper money was thrown into the basin, quickly burned by the flames, and hovered in the air.These people lowered their heads, their faces were expressionless, and they looked a little weird under the light of the fire.

Xiao Zhuo scattered the paper money floating in front of him, not paying much attention to the people who burned the paper, and the ghosts who were frantically grabbing the paper money.

Until he was walking, he heard a miserable cry for help from the side of the road.

The cry for help came from an alley by the side of the road. Xiao Zhuo parked his car outside the alley and saw a middle-aged man in plain clothes being beaten by a group deep in the alley.

His clothes looked old, dirty, and had a few ragged holes.At this time, he curled up and hugged his head, begging for mercy while hiding: "I beg you, don't hit me anymore, if you hit me again, you will die—help! Is there anyone? Help me!"

He kept begging for mercy in a low voice, but he didn't win the slightest sympathy, and no one around him came to help him.

Xiao Zhuo paused, looked at the man a few more times, and went over to save him.

The man didn't seem to expect that someone would save him, he was stunned for a long time before he realized it, and then he suddenly remembered something, he rushed over and looked at Xiao Zhuo with a begging face and hurriedly said: "Thank you, thank you for saving me. But these little brothers, can you please help me again? My wife had an accident, and I couldn't wake her up no matter how hard I tried to wake her up. I didn't bring my mobile phone. I kept looking for help on the road, but no one wanted to talk to me. Can you make a call for me and ask someone from the hospital to come over?"

Xiao Zhuo had no reason to refuse, dialed the emergency number, and asked the man the address where his wife had an accident.

The man's face was full of anxiety and grief. Hearing the news, hope was rekindled, and he hurriedly reported the address of the accident to Xiao Zhuo, who then relayed it to the emergency center of the hospital.

The hospital immediately stated that it would send an ambulance there immediately, and asked Xiao Zhuo to keep his phone open so that he could get in touch at any time.

The man heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, looked at Xiao Zhuo with a grateful face, and was so excited that he wanted to kneel down to thank him.

"Little brother, thank you, you are still good. I have met many people before, and they refused to talk to me after listening to me. I am going crazy. If something happens to my wife, I don't know what to do. alive."

Xiao Zhuo stopped him, didn't let him kneel down, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just a matter of raising a finger. Let's go to the place where your wife died first."

The man nodded repeatedly and quickly led Xiao Zhuo the way.

On the way, he introduced himself as Meng Yuan, a migrant worker from other provinces who worked at a construction site not far away, earning hard-earned money.

His wife is from the same village as him.His family was poor, and when his wife married him, there was nothing in the house. Now life has finally improved, and a new house has been built in the countryside.

When he mentioned his wife, his whole body became alive, and his dark and vicissitudes of face showed a sense of happiness.

Xiao Zhuo listened carefully, and occasionally asked a few words, but there were complex and complex meanings hidden in his eyes.

It happened to Meng Yuan's wife on the way home from get off work.The road she took was remote, surrounded by abandoned factories.

Going forward along this road is a village in the city.Compared with the city, the houses in that place are much cheaper. Meng Yuan and his two have been renting there since they came to Haicheng.

When Xiao Zhuo arrived there, he saw a bicycle lying on the ground, with freshly bought vegetables still in the pocket.

The woman fell into the grass by the side of the road, knocked her head on a stone by the side of the road, bled, and was unconscious at this time.

There is a deep hole next to the bicycle wheel.Because the street lights are far away, it is not obvious.The woman obviously passed by this place without paying attention, and the wheel got stuck in the pit and fell down.

Xiao Zhuo didn't dare to mess around with the woman, and waited with Meng Yuan for a while, and finally waited for the ambulance to rush over.

A group of people got off the ambulance, first checked the woman's condition, and then carried her into the ambulance.

Meng Yuan anxiously wanted to ask the nurse about his wife.

The nurse didn't even look at him, she turned to Xiao Zhuo and said, "You are the caller? Come with us to the hospital first."

Xiao Zhuo nodded and got into the car with the nurse.Seeing this, Meng Yuan quickly followed and sat next to Xiao Zhuo.

On the opposite side, the nurse suddenly touched his arm and muttered in a low voice, "It's strange, why is it suddenly cold..."

Xiao Zhuo didn't speak, and kept silent all the way, but Meng Yuan couldn't bear it, and asked the nurse repeatedly if his wife was in danger.

It's just that he asked several times, but the nurse lowered her head and didn't want to talk to him at all.Seeing this, Meng Yuan could only shut his mouth in embarrassment, and looked at his wife worriedly.

After arriving at the hospital, the woman was quickly sent for examination.

Xiao Zhuo thought for a while, then turned around and asked Meng Yuan if he had any other relatives in Haicheng.

Meng Yuan said: "My wife's younger brother and younger siblings are also in Haicheng. But it's too late now, they are far away, and it would be troublesome to come here. It's fine if I'm here now, and I'll let them know after the test results come out."

Xiao Zhuo disagreed, shook his head and said: "After all, she is a real sister, so it's better to inform them."

Meng Yuan thought about it, so he reported his wife's brother's phone number to Xiao Zhuo.Xiao Zhuo dialed the phone and explained the situation to the other side, and the other party immediately said that he would come over quickly.

In the following time, Xiao Zhuo and Meng Yuan sat outside the ward and waited. His wife had already been sent for examination, but the examination results would take a while to come out.

About 40 minutes later, the elevator stopped on the third floor of the hospital.

A man and a woman hurried out of the elevator. Both of them looked very anxious. It could be seen that they left in a hurry, and their clothes were not straightened.

They looked around while walking, and quickly walked towards Meng Yuan.

Seeing the two of them standing up quickly, Meng Yuan called his brother's name and walked towards him.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhuo wanted to stop it, but it was obviously too late.

Because the second Meng Yuan went up to meet him, his younger brother and younger siblings passed straight through his body.

Seeing this scene, Meng Yuan froze for a moment, lowered his head for a while and stared at his almost transparent body in a daze, his expression was stiff and pale.

The young men and women did not notice Meng Yuan, they were standing in the corridor of the hospital, ready to call Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo glanced at Meng Yuan, walked over and asked, "Are you Liu Yuzhen's family?"

The young man in a black T-shirt hurriedly said: "Yes, yes. We are. Are you calling us? How is my sister now?"

Xiao Zhuo said: "The doctor said there is nothing serious, just wait until she wakes up. I will take you to the ward first, and then you have to pay some money. You can ask the attending doctor for the specific situation."

"Okay." The young man followed Xiao Zhuo to the ward, and said gratefully, "Thank you so much. If you hadn't saved my sister, she might be in danger. I really don't know how to thank you..."

Xiao Zhuo shook his head, saying that it was nothing.After all, the person who really saved Liu Yuzhen was not him, but Meng Yuan.

Liu Yuzhen's examination was fine, but she had a concussion, so she was transferred to the general ward, where her vital signs were monitored at all times.

Xiao Zhuo took them to the ward, and the young couple hurried in.

The two stood in front of Liu Yuzhen's hospital bed, looking at her with concern and worry.

Xiao Zhuo stood at the door of the ward and didn't go in, beside Meng Yuan who was devastated and pale.

In the ward, the young woman asked the young man, "Has my brother-in-law been found yet?"

The young man looked sad: "No. The police searched the neighborhood, but they couldn't find him."

The young woman sighed: "Brother-in-law, Haoji, why did he disappear suddenly, and now there is no one alive..."

She stopped suddenly as she spoke, and didn't dare to think about it any further. Instead, she prayed in a low voice: "Brother-in-law must be fine. Otherwise, my sister is a woman and there are two children in my hometown. What will happen in the future?" pass."

While the two were talking, Liu Yuzhen suddenly woke up on the hospital bed.She opened her eyes in a daze, and was stunned when she saw the white ward in front of her.

"Where am I?" she asked her brother.

The young man even stepped forward and told her what had happened.

Liu Yuzhen looked at Xiao Zhuo and thanked him several times.Then he looked around the ward and asked, "Where's your brother-in-law? Haven't you found it yet?"

She couldn't see Meng Yuan who was standing next to Xiao Zhuo at this moment.

Meng Yuan covered his face in pain, seeing his wife's face full of guilt and distress, recalling the past, couldn't hold back a low, desperate sob.

The doctor rushed over quickly, checked Liu Yuzhen, and confirmed that she was fine.Just in case, let's observe in the hospital for one night first.If there is nothing to do tonight, I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.

The young couple thanked the doctor again and again, the woman accompanied Liu Yuzhen, and the young man went to the hospital to pay for the expenses.

Xiao Zhuo glanced sideways at Meng Yuan, who was full of grief, and said in a low voice: "It's useless for you to stay here, come with me. You should still have a lot to say."

Meng Yuan took a deep look at his wife, remembering what happened before his death, a black evil spirit suddenly surged all over his body, and he nodded heavily.

After being delayed by these things, Xiao Zhuo was a bit late when he returned home.On the way, Zheng Qing called him several times for the first time, asking when he would arrive home.

Xiao Zhuo was very surprised when he received the call. He lived with Zheng Qing for so long, when did the other party care about when he would go home?

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhuo didn't delay much, and returned to the villa as quickly as possible.

Outside the villa, Meng Yuan stopped suddenly, looking at the villa in front of him with fear in his eyes.

"I won't go in." Meng Yuan took a step back and said.

He could clearly feel that there was a very terrifying existence living in this villa, and the owner of the villa had a very strong sense of territory, which made him feel scared instinctively. He always felt that if he stepped into the villa, something terrible would happen.

"You really don't want to go in?" Xiao Zhuo asked.

Meng Yuan nodded seriously, retreated outside the villa, and found a safe place to stop.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhuo didn't force much, and asked Meng Yuan to wait for his meeting first, and then talk about Meng Yuan's matter later.

Walking into the villa, Xiao Zhuo could smell the strong aroma of vegetables.The scent hit his face, tempting his taste buds, and broke through his psychological defense in an instant.

Xiao Zhuo's eyes lit up, he was overjoyed and rushed into the kitchen, looked at Zheng Qing and said in surprise, "Have you cooked?"

"Yeah." Zheng Qing's expression was not very good: "It just happened to be fine, and I made a meal by the way. If you come back later, your share will be gone."

"How can I do that, I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time." Xiao Zhuo quickly explained with an excellent attitude: "I went home directly after work, who knows that there was a little accident on the way."

Zheng Qing glanced out the window: "Is it related to the person you brought back?"

"Yeah." Xiao Zhuo nodded obediently, looking at the food in front of him with green eyes, almost drooling, and hurriedly urged: "Let's eat first. I will tell you slowly while eating."

Looking at Xiao Zhuo's impatient expression, Zheng Qing was very satisfied in his heart, and his complexion improved a lot.

"Help serve the dishes," he said.

Xiao Zhuo quickly helped put the dishes on the table.Zheng Qing cooked a hearty dinner, including chopped pepper fish head, stir-fried prawns, ants climbing a tree, and a stir-fried seasonal vegetable.Every dish is delicious in color, fragrance, and Xiao Zhuo swallowed frequently.

After the table and chopsticks were set and the table was set, Xiao Zhuo immediately picked up the chopsticks and eagerly prepared to eat.

Before the tip of the chopsticks touched the dish, he suddenly remembered something, paused and tried to ask: "Is there no charge for this meal?"

He is really poor recently.

Zheng Qing probably didn't expect Xiao Zhuo to ask such a question suddenly, he paused and said, "No money."

Xiao Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and tasted it quickly without any scruples.

Zheng Qing thought it was funny, but Xiao Zhuo was stumped by a few hundred dollars.He asked, "Didn't you just get paid?"

Xiao Zhuo munched on the vegetables, and murmured a vague "huh".

Zheng Qing noticed something strange, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where's the money?"

Xiao Zhuo really wanted to avoid this question, but Zheng Qing kept following him closely.He couldn't avoid it, so he could only lower his head and say with guilt: "I paid my salary, and went to buy a few lottery tickets with my colleagues."

"How many?"

"That's just..." Xiao Zhuo counted, but couldn't count, and said vaguely: "Just a few hundred."

Zheng Qing was speechless for a while: "...how much did you win?"

"It's quite a lot, you won hundreds of dollars." Xiao Zhuo obviously realized that these hundreds of dollars couldn't compare with the money he lost, and he stopped speaking in an instant, and coughed awkwardly.

Zheng Qing didn't expect Xiao Zhuo to keep pace with the times, and he became obsessed with lottery tickets even before he knew how to use his mobile phone.

"Then when are you going to pay the rent?"

He was not planning to charge Xiao Zhuo's rent at first, but he changed his mind immediately after hearing this.Rather than asking Xiao Zhuo to give the money to the lottery shop, it is better to give it to him.

Xiao Zhuo tried: "Can you be late? I will pay the wages when they are paid."

Zheng Qing nodded very well.Anyway, Xiao Zhuo still has a salary in the Demon Management Bureau, so he can't get away with it.

Seeing that Zheng Qing didn't say anything about driving him away, Xiao Zhuo was also a little moved, and even gave Zheng Qing a shrimp, telling him not to just talk, but to eat something quickly.

Zheng Qing stared at the prawn in the bowl, remembering that the tip of the chopsticks that Xiao Zhuo brought over was still stained with his saliva, maybe it was also on the prawn.

He moved the shrimp to the side of the bowl, and couldn't help but look down for a while. After looking at each other for a few seconds, he picked it up and put it in his mouth.

After eating, Xiao Zhuo slumped on the stool, his face full of satisfaction.

He sat with his mind free for a while, then cleaned up the dishes and went to wash the dishes.

After washing the dishes, he came out and lay down comfortably on the sofa, holding the remote control to watch TV.

Before pressing the remote control, Xiao Zhuo always felt like he had forgotten something.He stood up and thought for a while, and when his eyes turned to the outside of the villa, he finally remembered that Meng Yuan was still waiting outside.

The food was so delicious that Xiao Zhuo completely forgot about it.

He even briefly told Zheng Qing what happened when he met Meng Yuan tonight, and was about to call Meng Yuan in, but Zheng Qing stopped him.

"Go out and talk." Zheng Qing said.

Long's territorial consciousness is very strong, Xiao Zhuo is the only one who walked into his territory, Zheng Qing would definitely not be happy to let Meng Yuan in at this time.

Xiao Zhuo probably guessed the reason, secretly thinking that it is really not easy for him to live with Zheng Qing now.

The two walked out of the villa and saw Meng Yuan standing under a tree, staring at the photo in his hand in a daze.

Sensing that Xiao Zhuo and Zheng Qing were approaching, Meng Yuan hurriedly put the photo away carefully.

"It's a family portrait I took when I went home for the New Year last year." Meng Yuan touched the photo on his chest and said with a bitter expression: "When I talked on the phone a few days ago, I promised my daughter that I would go home early this year for the New Year. I...I'm sorry Daughter-in-law, I'm leaving, leaving her to take care of the two children, it will be too difficult in the future."

His voice was choked up when he talked about it, and it was still difficult to get out of the grief.

Xiao Zhuo really didn't know what to say: "My condolences."

Meng Yuan nodded, wiped away the tears that didn't exist, restrained his emotions, and forced himself to be calm: "You two must be experts if you can see me. The matter has come to this point, and I can only accept the reality. I don't want to see you now. I have nothing to ask for, only two wishes, one is to bring the person who caused me to justice, and to seek a sum of compensation for my wife so that she can raise two children well. The other is to get back from the murderer what should belong to my stuff."

Xiao Zhuo nodded: "Can you find him?"

"Yes. I know that face even if it turns to ashes." Meng Yuan gritted his teeth and said, as if he hated the murderer to the bone.

He said again: "I will go find him, but in the future, I hope that the two experts can help."

He is not a ghost, and what he can do is really limited.

"Okay." Xiao Zhuo didn't hesitate.

Meng Yuan didn't say anything more, after bowing and thanking Xiao Zhuo and Zheng Qing, his figure disappeared immediately.

At ten o'clock in the evening, a certain alley leading to the old city.

Young beautiful woman in a long dress and high heels walks into an alley.

The street lamp in the alley was broken, the whole road was pitch-black, and the branches on both sides of the road faintly fell to the ground, making it even more eerie and terrifying.

The woman lives at the other end of the alley.She didn't intend to take this alley at first, but it happened that the shoes she was wearing today didn't fit her feet well, so she would have to walk a long way if she took a detour.

She thought that this road was a bit gloomy, and there should be nothing wrong, so she gritted her teeth and decided to cross it at the fastest speed.

The alley was very quiet, with high walls on both sides. The woman walked forward with her head buried, only the sound of high heels stepping on the ground could be heard, empty and eerie.

She didn't dare to look around at all, so she didn't know that somewhere in the alley at this time, several figures were hiding in the dark, peeping at her with weird smiles, excitedly waiting for the prey to take the bait.
