to blame

As soon as Tao Sheng left, Ming Xia handed over the task of peeling the dried fruit to Nan Jiang.

He opened the backpack, took out tools and a bunch of parts, and knocked with his head down.

Qingqiu was so fascinated by it that he didn't even bother to eat the pistachio that Nanjiang handed to his mouth.Although it is always with Ming Xia and has been in Ming Xia's workshop, but it is really the first time to see what Ming Xia looks like at work.

Ming Xia's hands are slender and fair, with well-defined joints.Those black and silver metal parts turned back and forth between his fingers, extremely obedient.After a while, he had a crossbow in his hand.It is more than one foot long and wide, and the whole body is pitch black. I don't know what material the strings are made of, but they are also black.

Just as Nan Jiang was about to speak, Qing Qiu said with a dreamy face: "Ming Xia, you are so amazing."

Nanjiang, "..."

This ass is shot...

Ming Xia smiled like a flower, and took the picture immediately, "Qingqiu, you really have eyesight. This is my new work. Look at this string, haven't you seen it before? My teacher and I worked overtime in the laboratory to create it. ,Although it still needs to be perfected, the strength and toughness are stronger than the original. The teacher is not willing to give it to me, if I don’t roll around, I can’t get it with Ben.”

Nan Jiang couldn't figure out what it was like to roll and sapo.

Qingqiu was still there and continued to flatter without integrity, "If you don't have your skills, it's useless to have good materials."

Nan Jiang couldn't listen anymore, "Are you worried about what Tao Sheng just said?"

Ming Xia smiled slightly, "Be prepared."

Ming Xia suddenly sighed in his heart, he was not such a careful person before.But the experience of these few months has made him a cautious person.

Sometimes, he would also have an illusion that the past few months seemed to be longer than his past few years.I don't know why.

Tu Qing and Ming Ming came a little late, and they said they had something to do in the store as soon as they entered the door, so they were delayed.

Mingming started to complain without taking off his coat, "What kind of guest, he just babbled endlessly when he entered the door. About buying a few catties of dog food, he babbled about everything about his dog from childhood to adulthood. Slippers, gnawing on the sofa, growing up and eating meat and getting sick..."

Mingming is a very neat person, her own mother can't stand nagging her, let alone outsiders nagging about things that have nothing to do with her.He held his breath several times and wanted to push people away, but Tu Qing calmly stopped him.

What he was doing was a small business, and besides, the people who came to the door were all nearby residents, and they became familiar with each other when they came a lot, so it was not easy to turn against them rashly.

Ming Ming came to look at the house. She and Tu Qing intended to make their home in the old city, so they came to look at some real estate near the square. After walking for a day, they were almost starved to death, but Tu Qing was still there. There is no end to dawdling for her here.

Tu Qing coaxed Ming Ming for a while, and said to Ming Xia and Nan Jiang, "Actually, it's not because Ming Ming was angry about today's incident. I also intentionally tried to get Mrs. Zhang to talk."

Mingming's eyes widened.

Ming Xia and Nan Jiang heard other meanings from it.

Ming Xia sat up straight all of a sudden, "What's wrong?"

Tu Qing glanced at the chair beside him, there was a black crossbow on it.

"This Mrs. Zhang lives in the Fuhua community to the east, which is the one you went to yesterday." Tu Qing said the second half of the sentence to Ming Ming, "There are villas and high-rise residences in the Fuhua community. This Mrs. Zhang lives in a villa, and there are two corgi dogs at home. Last week, the family dogs were playing in the yard, and one of them was bitten to death."

Mingming was taken aback, "When did she say that? I heard her complaining about the dog not eating."

Tu Qing patted her hand, and said to Nanjiang: "She changes the brand of dog food in turn, and buys a catty or two every day, just to take it back for experimentation. The dog that survived her family was frightened, and now Not even a bite of food."

"Why are you rambling like this?" Ming Xia was dissatisfied, "What's wrong with Mrs. Zhang's words?"

Tu Qing took two sips of the tea handed over by his wife, "You have a bad temper... okay, okay, let me tell you. Mrs. Zhang said that her dog was eaten by a monster."

Ming Ming was taken aback, and was about to laugh, but saw that Ming Xia and Nan Jiang had serious expressions on their faces, and even the chubby little fox had a serious expression on their faces, so they couldn't laugh immediately.

Mingming belatedly remembered that the husband he was looking for was a monster.

Mingming raised his forehead, secretly thinking that he must find a chance another day, and beat this guy to show his original shape.

She is also considered to be the first to get the moon.She has to take a good look at it. What is the difference between a refined rabbit and a cage of rabbits worth tens of dollars in the vegetable market?

"Mrs. Zhang said that when the accident happened, she was making dumplings with her aunt in the kitchen," Tu Qing said, "The kitchen window faces the backyard, and two dogs were chasing each other and running wildly in the yard."

"She didn't care at first, and chatted with her aunt that the snow had melted a few days ago, and the yard was wet, and the two dogs had to take a bath after playing enough. She started barking, and she thought someone else's dog had come to fight, but she lay down at the window and watched for a long time, but she didn't see anything in the yard."

Ming Xia listened carefully at the beginning, but the more she listened, the more annoying she became, and she became angry, "You better shut up. I thought you were serious, but it turns out that you want to tell a story when your mouth is itchy?!"

There was a knock on the door of the box, it was the waiter who served the food.

Ming Xia thought that Tu Qing was just playing lip service, so he ignored him, and picked up vegetables for Qing Qiu with his chopsticks.

Tu Qing served Ming Ming's cups and chopsticks very attentively, and then said to Ming Xia: "Why are you in such a hurry? All right, all right, let me make a long story short. Mrs. Zhang is really outrageous to hear the dog barking, so go out and have a look. It turned out that her dog got stuck in the gap of the railing outside the yard."

"When her house was being renovated, the railings around the yard were purposely made narrow, just to prevent the dogs from running out. With that width, the little Teddy can get through, but the Corgi absolutely can't get through."

Ming Xia suddenly remembered the little hamster that ran out like a demon the night before Luo Luo's attack.

"That dog is quite fat, and usually he doesn't take the initiative to drill into the railing." Tu Qing was still in the posture of telling a story, his eyebrows were beaming, Ming Xia had no choice but to listen patiently.

"Mrs. Zhang was taken aback at the time, and was about to drag the dog back, when she found something dark in the bushes outside the railing, but with big horns growing on top of its head, like a tree branch, and it took a bite. Bite off the dog's head."

Ming Xia felt cold, "What do you think that thing looks like?"

"The body is slightly larger than an adult sled dog, with black fur, looking dirty, a bit like a cow, with antlers growing on its head."

Ming Xia and Nan Jiang looked at each other.They had met Zhu Huai in the Xishan Great Formation, but they just listened to the description, so they might be suspected of spreading rumors.

And it's really the same kind of Zhu Huai, so logically speaking, they can't get out of Xishan.

Tu Qing spread his hands, "I've said all I need to say, whether it's true or not, be careful."

Mingming's gaze finally moved away from the little fox, and he asked them in a ignorant manner, "What are you careful about? Why do you all seem to know what you are talking about, but I am the only one who doesn't?"

Several people laughed, and Ming Xia comforted her, "Old Tu heard a little bit about our work, so he came to remind us. It's okay."

Judging by their expressions, it seems that they have no intention of telling her.Ming Ming felt a little depressed, and then put the thought away.She is not a person who likes to worry, since it is related to Ming Xia's work, it is enough for them to know.

Ming Ming glanced at the little fox, and couldn't help asking Ming Xia, "Where is that... little fairy?"

Why is the black bird replaced by a white-haired fox?

Ming Xia wiped Qingqiu's paws with a wet tissue, and squeezed the fat paws in his hands, "You introduce yourself."

Qingqiu licked his mouth, and was very proud of calling it "little fairy" to others, "It's me, I'm Qingqiu."

Mingming was shocked, and finally believed that this guy was really a little fairy.If it weren't for the little fairy, how could he look like a starling today, but after a few days, he would turn into a little fox?

Ming Ming got up very respectfully and poured juice for the little fox, calling him "little fairy".

Ming Xia endured a stomachache while holding back a smile.

Nan Jiang was helpless.

Tu Qing kicked Ming Xia viciously under the table: "What kind of brother-in-law is this? Don't you hate it? How can you be so teasing?" !

Several people came out of the "seafood restaurant", and Tu Qing and Ming Ming went home hand in hand.

Ming Xia remembered that Qingqiu mentioned at the dinner table that he wanted to eat cherries, so he planned to buy some fruit before going back.There used to be fruit shops on the east and west ends of this street, but the east side is now being renovated, and many shops are closed, so you have to go west to buy fruit.

"I'm full of wine and food, what fruit do I want?" Nan Jiang hurried back to have a small meeting with Mr. Hu, besides, he didn't like Qingqiu's lazy way of cooking, "How expensive are cherries now? , Aren’t they all airlifted from the southern hemisphere?”

Qingqiu lowered his head, glanced pitifully at Mingxia.

Ming Xia patted its little head, then turned to stare at Nan Jiang, "How expensive is it? Are you looking down on us working class? We work so hard and earn money, but can't we eat some imported fruit? "

Nanjiang, "..."

Ming Xia comforted Qingqiu, "What else do you want to eat? Strawberries in winter are also delicious. Last time my grandma called and said that this year's kiwi fruit is also good, sweeter than the previous two years..."

Nanjiang was really tired.He doesn't know how to position Qingqiu now, this guy is definitely not a pet, maybe Ming Xia really raised him as his son, and in Qingqiu's eyes he is... an evil stepdad? !

Nanjiang was struck by this association, and hurriedly pushed his bicycle after him.

When they came, they borrowed two bicycles from the branch, Qingqiu was wrapped in a small quilt by Ming Xia and sat in the basket.The location of the branch compound is too remote, and it is not easy to take a taxi. Fortunately, it is not far from the living area of ​​the old city, so it is very convenient to ride a bicycle.

From the "seafood restaurant" to the west, there are fewer shops, and the road looks deserted.But the fruit shop on the street is still open.Ming Xia parked his bicycle at the entrance of the fruit shop, and was about to bend down to hug Qingqiu, when he heard a loud engine noise coming from not far behind, and then, several beams of light shot towards them.

Ming Xia reacted very quickly, he stretched out his hand and pressed Qingqiu back into the quilt, and with the other hand he pulled the backpack off from behind.

Nan Jiang was a few steps behind, and when he rushed over, the open space in front of the fruit shop was already surrounded by several motorcycles.The lights flickered and there were so many shadows that it was impossible to see how many people came at a glance.

Nan Jiang threw his bicycle to the side of the road and shouted loudly, "What are you doing?"

Amidst the roaring noise of the engine, a man's voice said lazily: "Your name is Ming Xia, right? It's really hard for us to wait."

Ming Xia was carrying the backpack, one hand was put into the bag, holding the crossbow assembled in the hotel just now.It seems that what Tao Sheng said is right, there are indeed people who are holding back and trying to trouble him.

Ming Xia signaled Nanjiang not to move with his eyes, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the speaker, "Who are you?"

People can call out his name, obviously they are running for him.

"It doesn't matter who I am." The man sneered, "You ask yourself first, what immoral things have you done?"

Ming Xia couldn't hold back, and laughed, "Is it something immoral? I'm sorry, I really haven't done this."

The man took a sip, "Shame on you, fuck me!"
