Shanhai Pet Shop

At nine o'clock, Ye Yao opened the door of the pet shop on time.

On weekdays, the Confucius Temple is deserted and deserted. Even the flower market at the front end doesn’t even bother to open its doors. The only people who come to stroll around this time are idle grandparents, and they all go back for a walk after buying a bunch of vegetables.

Ye Yao originally planned to go out to take a deep breath, take a good bath in the bright autumn sunshine, and then go back to the store to sit and read his books. If he doesn't bathe in the sun now, he can spend quite a lot of time in contact with the warm sun today. Less, although Ye Yao is not a vampire whose work and rest are nocturnal, but the time to go out is about the same as that of a bat.

But even Ye Yao didn't expect that when he opened the door, he saw a ball of familiar soft noodles. Fang Xueting pulled a forced smile at Ye Yao and said, "Boss, good morning."

Ye Yao frowned indistinctly and said, "Come in first."

The girl followed behind him, like a chicken cub that had been drenched in water, with its fluffy hair wet and wrapped around its thin body.

"Do you need me to pour you a glass of water?" Ye Yao said, "You don't look very good."

"No, no, no." Fang Xueting shook her head, "It's already very troublesome to bother you early in the morning."

Ye Yao looked at the pitiful girl, first thought of Qiongqi's newly arranged formation, and then thought of the side effects of the fifth generation of humans not being able to see the Shanhai pet shop, so he reminded himself, but when he looked at Fang Xueting, he felt that the little girl Even more confused than myself, he tentatively asked, "Are you here so early in the morning, do you want to see pets?"

"No, no." Fang Xueting shook her head in embarrassment. She didn't know why she was so impulsive. When she was sitting on the bed, she thought of the wonderful pet shop, and then got on the subway. When she got off the subway, her mind went blank.

It was as if he had been inspired by some kind of mystery to do it all of a sudden.

Fang Xueting has been troubled by the same dream for many years. It was useless for her parents to take her to find dream interpreters. A small number of dream interpreters stopped talking after hearing her describe their clear dreams. When they met, her parents were at a loss after hearing this, and it was useless to take her to the Red-crowned Crane Reserve no matter how many times.

She has experienced such a wonderful experience since she was a child, which made her a bit superstitious. She believed in ghosts and ghosts very much. She also looked at the interior decoration of the store. No matter how she looked at it, she didn't think it was an ordinary pet store. Very human.

Fang Xueting thought, why don't I just talk about my dream, the worst thing is that my little brother thinks she is crazy, and strangers think her brain is not normal, and there is no other loss except shame.

But she had to make a foreshadowing, Fang Xueting took a deep breath and said, "Can I see the pets here again?"

Ye Yao wondered what kind of request this was. Anyway, the scene in the store was normal when Fang Xueting came last time, so she thought it would be the same this time, nodded and stood up and said, "Okay."

Then the curtain was drawn.

Ye Yao: ……………

He looked at the row of palaces inside the curtain, his eyes were about to pop out, he put down the curtain pretending nothing happened, turned around and said to Fang Xueting who was also dumbfounded: "Come in later."

Fang Xueting was dumbfounded, what did she see just now?Seeing that Ye Yao wanted to put down the curtain, he stammered, "Wait—"

The string in her head was connected, and she suddenly realized that she might have entered Earl D's scary pet shop, and the little brother who owned the shop would definitely be able to help him!Thinking about it, he reached out and grabbed the little brother's sleeve and said, "I saw it, can you help me!"

Qiongqi was startled, with the irritability of being woken up on his face, he sat down on the sofa boldly.

He went out for another night yesterday. Anyway, he hadn't returned to the store when Ye Yao fell asleep. It's only after nine o'clock. Qiongqi must have not slept for a few hours. It's normal to be irritable.

He and Ye Yao were sitting on the sofa, facing Fang Xueting who was sitting on a pony with a nervous face, Ye Yao whispered in his ear, telling the little girl's dream.

Fang Xueting looked at the two, her expression became a little weird, and she was not even as nervous as before.

Qiongqi was still angry at humans for waking him up, but he frowned when he heard the crane with flames all over his body.

Ye Yao said, "Is it Bi Fangniao?"

After taking over the Shanhai pet shop, he almost memorized the Shanhaijing. Some of the strange beasts still have their own species, and some have only one in the sky and the earth. The more powerful the species, the rarer the number.

Bi Fang, as the legendary beast beside Vulcan, there is only one crane in the whole world that will cause a big fire as soon as it appears, and unfortunately, only one still lives alone, not in Shanhai pet shop .

Qiongqi frowned, it was rare that he didn't choke with Ye Yao, he said, "I'm afraid it is."

No, it's not that I'm afraid, if what Fang Xueting said is true, then it's really Bi Fang.

The fire in the air has also been explained. Just thinking about it makes Qiongqi feel his nose itchy. Human beings can't feel the active fire element, but he can smell it. Every time he goes out, it's like smelling a pot of pungent hot pot The bottom material is also spicy.

Qiongqi said: "You said how many times a month do you dream of Bi Fang?"

Bi Fang?Fang Xueting reacted for a while, and then became excited. The two little brothers actually knew the crane in the dream, and did not regard it as a monster imagined by her nonsense.

To be honest, when she saw the rows of small palaces inside the curtain just now, she firmly believed that she had entered Earl D's scary pet shop.

"Yes." She said, "I have often dreamed of him since I was very young."

This is unusual, Qiongqi thought, he has lived for so long, and he has never heard of such a miracle. How could there be a spiritual connection between strange beasts and humans?I haven't heard of such consequences even after signing the contract.

unless……

He narrowed his eyes, thinking of an ancient legend.

"You mean, Bi Fang was injured?" Qiong Qi asked Fang Xueting slowly.

The little girl nodded pitifully: "His right wing is bleeding."

Ye Yao had already dialed Daji's phone number during their conversation, and it was Qiongqi who asked him to ask her just now.

Early in the morning, Su Daji was still sleeping under the covers, struggling to find the phone from the bedside table, opened his eyes and saw that it was Qiongqi's name, but the voice was Ye Yao.

"Bi Fang?" She was so sleepy, "No, I haven't heard of it, he didn't come to the door." Then she hung up the phone.

Ye Yao shook his head at Qiongqi: "No."

Qiongqi said to the little girl: "You give up." He has always spoken bluntly, "No one has seen Bi Fang."

Fang Xueting said anxiously: "But he is real..."

Qiongqi interrupted her: "I know you are telling the truth, but no one saw Bi Fang." He said, "And we have no reason to go to him." Qiongqi smoked a cigarette like a villain, The cigarette was lit in the room, "You don't think we are obliged to help you find Bi Fang, do you?" He glanced at the little girl who was a little scared, "You have to pay enough."

damn it!

The boy in the sweater fled in the unfamiliar city of Nanjing. He lowered his hat and ran to crowded places.

He knew that the group of people behind him would not do anything in public, of course not because of the bullshit nondisclosure agreement, but because they didn't want to disturb the bosses and the CSS.

Bi Fang was sure, that group of people hadn't found themselves yet, they might just follow the activity of the fire element to drill towards him, after all, there were members of that group who were not members of the fourth generation, and that group of people weren't even all human beings.

He is currently quite confident that he has not been discovered. In the previous battles, he has been a prototype until he fled. It's no good, too much blood loss will only make him weaker and weaker, although he doesn't want to admit it, but now he doesn't have the ability to fight with all his strength.

Unless he can find his own listener.

Thinking of this, Bi Fang quickened his pace.

He knows, he knows very well that the person who can understand his singing is in this city, and he has been guarding her for an unknown number of years, and every month, every month, he can meet her in his dreams.

He has to find her.

But before that...

Bi Fang thought, he had to find a way to get rid of those idiots behind him.

Huabiao walks home from Chaotiangong Antique Market with a deep-fried dough stick in his mouth.

The development of e-commerce has even impacted the antique market. This industry, which everyone thought would not be affected, has fewer and fewer people setting up stalls outside, and fewer and fewer goods can be found.

He browsed the Taobao website and believed it was true, ordered a lot of ancient copper coins and cinnabar yellow paper, but when he received the express delivery, he found that the quality of the cinnabar yellow paper was acceptable, but the ancient copper coins were all forged. The power is not even as much as the big head of one yuan. At least there are beliefs of money worship and collection and the shining national emblem on modern coins. What are the forged ancient coins?

He was pissed off by the unscrupulous merchants, and finally decided to go to the antique market.

But the weather hasn't been great lately.

Hua expressionlessly extinguished the small flames that came out of his arms, and no one around saw them.

Why are you so angry?He thought, he's going to be set on fire, okay?

Huabiao is a tree into a spirit, and anger has a great influence on him.

As soon as the boy wearing a peaked cap brushed past him, Huabiao's exposed half of his arm caught fire almost at the moment when the two of them turned their backs.

"Damn it!" Huabiao yelled, and patted his arm with the other hand behind him, trying to put out the fire anyway. Only two parties noticed the scene just now.

He and the boy looked at each other.

Huabiao sneered and hooked his fingers to Bi Fang: "You, come with me."

Dare to set fire to the monster in public, do you want to kill yourself?

Huabiao decides to teach him to be a demon.

Fang Xueting stared at Qiongqi with teary eyes, but Uncle Jishou remained unmoved. Ye Yao sat next to Qiongqi, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that they looked like bullies who forced girls into prostitution, and even set their prices high to usury.

Although they really have no reason to help the little girl in front of them, isn't it too much of a villain to play like this?

Fang Xueting seemed to have made up her mind, she said, "Are you asking for money?"

She is already counting her living expenses.

Ye Yao thought of the series of zeroes for renting out the beast and kindly reminded the little girl, "Don't ask the price, you can't afford it."

Fang Xueting was about to cry.

Ye Yao glanced at Qiongqi, and found that his expression was calm, even a little smug, so confident, he felt uncomfortable looking at him.

But he thought about it, even if Fang Xueting was the fourth generation of human beings who slipped through the net, it would not be of any benefit to Qiongqi to sign the contract of prostitution. There is nothing in this little girl that Qiongqi can ask for.

Suddenly Qiongqi's cell phone rang and vibrated in Ye Yao's hand. He hadn't returned the phone to Qiongqi after calling Daji just now.

Qiongqi snatched the phone, glanced at the two big characters "Huabiao" on the screen, and connected the call.

"Hello." He was indifferent to the other party's series of provocations, "Okay, got it, I'll be there in a while." Then he cut off the phone.

Qiongqi Fang Xueting asked: "Should you sign the contract or not?"

He snapped his fingers, and a contract floated in front of Fang Xueting. Such a fairy trick made the little girl shrink like a quail.

A ten-year bond, no, it’s not that serious. In fact, I will work in the store for ten years, but I will pay the wages and five social insurances and one housing fund.

Ye Yao knew the content of the contract, so he was even more curious about what Qiongqi wanted from Fang Xueting.

Fang Xueting gritted her teeth and signed her name at the bottom of the contract.

Isn't it just to decide in advance where to work in the future, she signed it!

Ye Yao comforted: "Don't worry, we are a serious business and will not force good people into prostitution." Although he felt that the role he was playing now was an accomplice of evil forces.

Qiongqi took the contract paper with satisfaction, and said to Ye Yao, "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Ye Yao asked.

"Where is Huabiao?" Qiongqi didn't change his expression, "he picked up a roast chicken with a damaged wing."

Ye Yao: ...

He would be stupid if he didn't realize that Bi Fang was with Huabiaomu.

He looked sideways at Qiongqi, and it was really the first time he realized that this person turned out to be a black-hearted businessman.

Of course, except for the expensive rent of their stores.
