I am not human

Chapter 24 Adoptive Father

Jiufang Azusa shot fiercely at the uncle who turned into a dog through sunglasses, and the uncle who was wearing a bloated home clothes stared back not to be outdone, his long and narrow eyes like a fox stared round, in the originally lazy temperament Suddenly, there was a murderous look.

Liao Qingshu backed away timidly, covering her face helplessly.What is this, a fight between stupid dads?

In the end, he made up his mind - he handed the cat bag in his hand to the little girl, but he bent down and asked: "The cat hasn't been injected yet, so it can't come out to play, just look through the hole, okay?"

Jiufang Ziyan slashed at him with a knife, but he just pretended not to see it.The girl looked up at Phoebe, saw that he agreed before taking the cat bag, looked down for a while and then asked in a voice like a mosquito: "...name?"

"What?" Liao Qingshu didn't hear clearly for a while.The girl slightly raised the volume, and asked again in a clear voice: "The name of the cat...?"

"Uh...probably Xiaobu...something like that?" Liao Qingshu turned her questioning gaze to Jiufang Ziyan.In his memory, Jiufang never seemed to call this puppet cat by any specific nickname.

Unexpectedly, Jiufang Ziyan quickly replied: "Blair."

Liao Qingshu: "...what?"

"Blair? Jean? Edric." Jiufang Ziyan, a poor shit-shoveling officer who doesn't even have basic awareness of epidemic prevention, opened his mouth to spit out a series of words with a Japanese accent in a very inexplicable, proud and proud tone. English vocabulary.Liao Qingshu stared at him for a while, then turned to the little girl and said firmly, "Well, it's called Xiaobu."

"Hey! Are you listening to me!"

Liao Qingshu ignored Jiufang Ziyan at all, buried her head in coaxing the little girl, and sent her out of the house.Jiufang Ziyan guessed that he was still worried after thinking about it, so he actually followed him out.No matter which position he puts in, it will be regarded as dereliction of duty. Liao Qingshu looked at it, but silently breathed a sigh of relief-according to experience, the difficulty of work is inversely proportional to the presence of Jiufang. When Jiufang is not present, everyone The work that is advanced by mouth can be successfully completed.

Taking a deep breath, Liao Qingshu turned her head to look at the dog: "Let me introduce myself, I am Liao Qingshu, an intern from the Field Service Department of the Mountain Management Office, what's your name?"

"I'm very lazy, and my name is just a homonym, just call me Tao Quan." Phoebe said, sat down with a smile, motioned Liao Qingshu to sit down, and continued, "But the words can be said first, Although my name is 'paying out money', I don't like paying out money at all."

The corner of Liao Qingshu's mouth froze upon hearing the words.This guy seems a bit tricky.

After a little thought, he decided to start with the previous strategy and start with a topic that the other party is more interested in: "Speaking of which, your daughter looks very young, what grade is she in now?"

"Third grade. She was supposed to be in fourth grade, but she couldn't keep up with math. The teacher suggested that I let her study for another year to consolidate."

In this case, we humans usually call it... repeating a grade.

Liao Qing said "Oh" flatly, feeling a little embarrassed, and didn't know what to say for a moment.Tao Quan seemed to be afraid that he might misunderstand, and hurriedly added: "My Xiaofeng is just not good at math, but she is very smart in other things. She is now the representative of the art class in their class, and she has won an award for painting. You Look." Tao Quan pointed to Liao Qingshu a few crayon drawings and certificates pasted on the wall.I saw that small yellow certificate was pasted on the most conspicuous place on the wall. Next to it was a figure painting painted with oil pastels. Under the setting sun in the west, an adult was holding a comb Little girl with shofars is walking home.The picture made by the oil pastel is easy to look dirty, but the color is immature and strong. The warm color of the sunset covers the whole picture, which is very impactful.

"Tao Feng is really good at painting." Liao Qingshu said after recognizing the name on the certificate.Tao Quan shook his head slightly: "It's not Tao Feng."

"Hey, isn't it?" Tao Feng was clearly written on the award certificate.

"Actually, when I first named her, I wanted to call her 'Light Cold Wind', but when Tuoshan managed to handle the documents, they told me that it would be too strange to use this name, and if I raised it, according to human She should follow my surname, so I have no choice but to change her name to 'Tao Feng'."

"Well, indeed, although 'Light Cold Wind' sounds beautiful, it is a bit inappropriate to use it in daily life. It would be quite good if it is used as a net name or pen name..."

"Human beings, there are too many miscellaneous rules, and it is so troublesome to choose a name. There is no need to care about so many monsters. As long as you want, you can call yourself whatever you want, even if you call yourself a Terminator. "Tao Quan complained, his brows and eyes suddenly softened, "But I still call her that when I'm at home. 'Light Cold Wind', isn't this name suitable for her? It's a very gentle and light name, like Chuchun. Feel."

Tao Quan's voice was originally lazy, but when he said this, he suddenly became serious, and there was an inexplicable, complacent and proud emotion in his tone, which was very different from the appearance when Jiufang Ziyan talked about Xiaobu's name just now. Similar, in the same pride, but with a little more warmth.

Liao Qingshu looked at him and suddenly felt a little moved.It is said that the poison of a tiger does not eat its offspring. Even a vicious beast that eats people is also very gentle when talking about its cubs.

"You must have a good relationship with her mother." He couldn't help asking.

Tao Quan replied blankly: "Mom? What mother?"

"It's... Xiaofeng's mother."

"Her mother? Why should I have a good relationship with her mother? I don't know her."

"..." Liao Qingshu looked at him confusedly: "You...don't know Xiaofeng's mother? Where did Xiaofeng come from?"

"I picked it up." Tao Quan said, "When I picked her up, she was put in a box and thrown on the side of the road. I thought that this kind of unwanted child could be eaten casually, so I picked it up quickly. She came back, raised her for a few days and was ready to cook. But she was found by the mountain management office, scolded, took her away, and found a foster family for her. I lived alone for a while, and found that I still miss her. , I just insisted on asking for it to come back and raise it myself, and after raising it, I have been raised until now."

"She... is a human child?" Liao Qingshu asked in amazement.It is not uncommon for monsters to befriend humans these days, but raising a human?

Liao Qingshu's emotion suddenly increased exponentially: "...You must have deep feelings for her."

"Probably so. This kid has been introverted since he was a child, and he was easily bullied, making people worry to death. He couldn't let it go." Tao Quan said, wrinkling his nose suddenly, "Just last week I also saw her being bullied by others. When I went to pick her up from school, she was surrounded by a few dead children, calling her stupid. I couldn't get angry for a while, so I rushed up and interrupted their words... and their legs."

Liao Qingshu was stunned: "Well, could it be that the so-called 'hurting'..." It's because of this?

He only knew before that Tao Quan had injured a few human children and violated the residence agreement, but this was the first time he knew the reason for the injury.In terms of emotion, it is hard for him not to express his understanding to Tao Quan, after all, anyone who is important will be angry when he is bullied; but in terms of reason, he still has to collect the fine that should be charged.

After all, although the electricity bill problem of the mountain management office has been solved, the water bill, rent and his salary have not yet been settled.

Liao Qingshu explained to Tao Quan in embarrassment, but Tao Quan was neither surprised nor angry, but showed an expected calm expression and asked him to wait a while before going back into the house to get his things.

It should be to get money, right?Liao Qingshu felt very relieved. Although she said she was unwilling to pay, it was actually quite reasonable.

After a while, Tao Quan came out with something.

What he had in his hand was not money, but two pieces of paper.Under Liao Qingshu's astonished gaze, Tao Quan handed the two pieces of paper in front of him: "This is the self-criticism and confession letter I wrote. I think that my behavior this time is very bad. The beast has caused a very bad influence. I don't think that a mere fine is enough to admonish me, and I should be punished more severely..."

"For example..." Liao Qingshu had an ominous premonition.

"For example, repatriation." Tao Quan said earnestly with his long and narrow eyes open, "In other words, as a punishment, please send me back to the Mountain and Sea Realm."
