Collect all nine fox tails to summon the dragon?

The first seven days of the deceased did not end until the middle of the night, and the store manager who had been reciting scriptures for a long time in the supermarket finally couldn't stand the drowsiness and muttered that he wanted to go home to rest. Xiaolong especially enthusiastically sent him to the car, watching His car drove steadily out of the street corner and disappeared, so he happily walked back to the store, and said to Su Chi: "The store manager left cleanly."

Su Chi was counting the containers, and upon hearing her words, he just responded casually, "Got it."

Xiaolong happily leaned over and said with a smile: "A lot of big ghosts and little ghosts have come out to join in the fun. There is a kid who often comes to our store to steal snacks and put his arms around the manager's neck and insists on going home with him. I've been ripped off!"

Su Chi turned to look at Xiaolong, and saw that she had a childish expression, full of the meaning of "come and praise me", obviously she had already put the conflict caused by the hen out of the blue, she was in a complicated mood, and she didn't know how to laugh Still should be worried, so with a dull face, he stretched out his hand to Xiaolong's head, and touched it perfunctorily, "Thank you."

"Hehehe." Xiaolong ran to the cash register, happily playing games.

When Su Chi was looking at the store by himself, the only use of the computer was to record and monitor. When Xiaolong appeared, the store manager specially changed the console with high configuration to take care of her, so that she could play games in the store when she was bored.

Su Chi leaned over and glanced at Xiaolong who was sitting behind the cash register, his attention had been completely attracted by the game, then quietly went back to the corner, picked up the cage containing the hens, and tiptoed out.

The hen was safely moved outside the door of the supermarket. Su Chi lifted the tarpaulin on the cage, and the lights in the supermarket and street lights shone brightly on the hen. The thief stared at Su Chi.

Su Chi frowned slightly.

The hen stared at Su Chi motionlessly, and finally looked at it for a while, then lowered her head as if making up her mind, and let out a rhythmic cooing sound from her mouth.

The voice sounded like an old lady who had nothing to do in the middle of the night, so she lowered her head and muttered, blaming others non-stop.

Su Chi is a cautious person. After she frowned and thought for a while, she straightened up and called out, "Little cage!"

Xiao Long ran out quickly and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

As soon as the hen saw the cage, the calmness she had a few seconds ago disappeared in an instant. The whole chicken retreated to the corner of the cage in fright as if it was facing an enemy, trembling.

Seeing the hen, Xiaolong couldn't help jumping at the hen happily, "Su Chi, have you finally decided to give this chicken to me?"

Su Chi grabbed Xiaolong by the back collar and pulled her back, and asked patiently: "Look at this chicken, do you think there is anything weird about it?"

Xiaolong drooped his shoulders and sighed: "If you cook its chicken legs in soy sauce, grill its wings over charcoal, cut the chicken body in half, cut half into pieces and stir-fry, and boil the other half into stew, then there is nothing weird about it! "

Su Chi pursed his lips.

Xiaolong immediately stood upright and said seriously: "It's just a chicken, just like a fake chicken."

"Then it seems that I am overthinking." Su Chi nodded and walked into the store.

Xiaolong chased after him, and said with a smile, "Su Chi, you can't see all the monsters, sprites, monsters and ghosts?"

Su Chi glanced at her, and generously admitted: "Yes."

Xiao Cage smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't see me, I will protect you."

"I have no relationship or reason with you, so you don't have to protect me." Su Chi poured cold water on him without hesitation.

Xiaolong pursed his mouth, and let out a soft "tss" where Su Chi couldn't see.

---

Su Chi was reading a book, and Xiaolong was playing games with headphones on. The two spent more than two hours quietly together in the late-night convenience supermarket. It was getting brighter outside, and the sanitation workers had already left for work, riding a tricycle from the suburbs to the farmer’s market. Street vendors are also routinely present on another early morning in the city.

Su Chi closed the book, stretched his waist and walked outside the supermarket, facing the growing white belly in the east, and said to himself with a sigh: "...Fox..."

"what……"

Another human voice suddenly sounded behind him, Su Chi was taken aback and turned around hastily.

Just at the corner of the glass wall along the street of the supermarket, a skinny old man wearing a gray old shirt, black shorts, and plastic flip flops was lying on the wall tremblingly, and opened his mouth to Su Chi exhaustedly, "...excuse me ..."

In the early morning, the sky was getting white quickly, and Su Chi could clearly see the formality and bewilderment written on the travel-worn face of the old man. The old man seemed to have walked a long way, so that his flip-flops They were all worn out, the big toe had been stuck to the ground, and the fingers were covered with dust and calluses.

Su Chi asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Su Chi was originally a person who treats people indifferently, and he was especially sarcastic when talking to strangers. The old man was obviously more nervous. He pressed the towel on his shoulders to his forehead, and then he stammered and asked, "Excuse me... how about that?" Chicken..."

Su Chi followed his gaze and looked at the yellow-haired hen at the entrance of the supermarket. The hen happened to be looking at her too. The discomfort in Su Chi's heart became more and more intense, and his tone became a little impatient, "Chicken?"

"Hmm, I want to ask you... This chicken should be my lost chicken... I want to ask you, can I take my chicken away?" the old man hesitated.

Su Chi asked suspiciously, "Your chicken?"

The old man nodded hastily, and took out a stack of printing paper from behind him, and handed it to Su Chi cautiously: "Look, this is my family's chicken hunting notice. I have been looking for it for five days, and I finally found it."

Su Chi felt that this was absurd. She had heard of people looking for cats and dogs, but she had never heard of people who went to great lengths to find chickens. But she didn't want to cause trouble. This chicken is always strange, and now there are even stranger people. If he is willing to take it away, Su Zhi can't wait for it.

"Since it's yours, take it away..." Before Su Chi finished speaking, Xiaolong slammed the door angrily and said angrily, "Who wants to take my chicken away?"

The down-and-out old man was frightened by Xiao Cage's movement, and fell back to the floor, looking at the astonishingly imposing white-haired girl in horror.

Xiao Longfei stood in front of the chicken coop, as if he was going to be the only one who couldn't open it, "Who wants to snatch my chicken? Who?"

Su Chi said, "It's just a chicken."

Xiao Longqi said: "What, it is not an ordinary chicken, it is the food I am most satisfied with so far, it is a miracle of good fortune, and it is an important medium for my body and mind to soar, even if my soul has to succumb to it in the end. To you, but my body will never compromise!"

"Don't you just want to eat it?" Su Chi said impatiently, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiaolong couldn't make up his mind, so he simply squatted down and hugged the chicken coop, and began to play tricks, "No, no, no, no, I want this chicken, and I want this chicken!"

Su Chi gasped: "Nonsense!"

The old man sat on the ground, not daring to interrupt for a long time.

Su Chi couldn't move the cage, so he could only say to the old man, "The key to the cage is with the store manager. The store manager won't be here until this afternoon. You can pick up your chicken in the afternoon."

After finishing speaking, Su Chi turned his head and left, neither paying attention to the poor old man who was looking for chickens from thousands of miles away, nor caring about the little cage squatting in front of the chicken coop like a parting of life and death.

Anyway, in her eyes, these two are weirdos, not worth wasting time.

The old man walked away from the small cage around the curve, then trotted into the supermarket, and said to Su Chi: "Believe me, this chicken is really our lost chicken. I am definitely not lying."

In fact, whether he is lying or not is irrelevant to Su Chi, but he chased him in so earnestly to explain, and with Xiaolong's appearance, Su Chi rarely asked: "Chickens all look the same. How do you know it is your chicken?"

"I'm not lying to you, it's like this." The old man pulled over the stool in the supermarket, climbed up and sat up awkwardly, then took a breath, and continued: "I'm not in good health and can't do strenuous work. In the past, the old woman built a chicken coop at home in order to take care of her children to go to school, and raised native chickens to earn tuition fees for her children. The chickens at home have been raised for decades, and chickens are often lost in the village. Count the chickens, and if she encounters the wrong number, she can go door to door looking for the whole night, and she will recognize every chicken she raises."

Su Chi carefully recalled in his mind what makes the chicken outside the door different, and came to the conclusion that a chicken is still a chicken, but people are not the same.

"Then why didn't your wife come out to look for it?" Su Chi asked.

The wife who is in good health and can remember every chicken she raises does not come out to look for it. Instead, the husband who is weak and sick goes all the way to look for chickens.

The old man's expression suddenly changed, he glanced around vigilantly, and waited until he was sure that there was no third person around, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "You may not believe this when you tell it."

Su Chi frowned.

The old man's pale and bloodless face suddenly became dark and mysterious because of what he said, "My old lady has been dead for a month!"

Su Chi's eyes widened in surprise.

There was a secretive smile on the old man's dark-spotted old face, and he continued: "Everything was fine, but recently a hen was lost in the chicken coop, and there were all kinds of rummaging and rummaging sounds in the house every midnight, noisy people No peace, others don't know, but I can be sure that the old woman lost the chicken, even if she is a ghost, she can't feel at ease."

"... That's why you came to look for chickens?" Su Chi asked.

"That's right." The old man sighed, "...I'm the only one left, I always have to eat enough and sleep well."

Xiaolong pushed the door open, saw Su Chi and the old man, and asked in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

The old man was afraid of Xiaolong. Seeing her coming in, he fidgeted and moved his buttocks for a long time, finally stood up, and said timidly: "I have to go home, so I'll come to get the chicken in the evening, okay?"

"Okay." Su Chi replied.

The old man walked around the small cage, pushed open the glass door with difficulty, and walked away staggeringly.

As soon as he left, Su Chi immediately asked Xiao Long, "How is it?"

Xiao Cage asked in confusion, "How about what?"

"That person." Su Chi glanced at the door.

On the street outside the door, the lonely figure of the old man merged into the noisy crowd in the morning and gradually disappeared.

"Oh, him." Xiao Cage said dissatisfiedly: "A dead and gloomy old man, his house must not be clean, making him look like a dead man."

Su Chi said thoughtfully, "It's his wife who made trouble."

"Oh, let me tell you." Xiao Long didn't take it seriously, "I'm going to buy breakfast, what do you want?"

"Anything." Su Chi replied.
