me and my monster neighbor

The rhinoceros finally left Zhongnan Cave, and today was just a false alarm for all the neighbors in Zhongnan Cave.

——Fortunately, this was just a false alarm.

But although everyone's lives were saved, the rash intrusion of the rhinoceros still left an indelible shadow in the hearts of all the neighbors. To achieve spiritual post-disaster reconstruction, Director Luo decided to hold a tea party for neighbors to comfort each other, trying to relieve the psychological pressure of the neighbors and correctly channel their negative emotions.

In addition to post-disaster reconstruction, the neighbors also plan to choose a day to hold a commendation meeting for Xu Lai, to praise Xu Lai for not being afraid of power, and for stepping forward to save the lives of the neighbors at a critical moment. A benchmark and example for the neighbors in Namdong to learn from.

Director Luo even wanted to publish a huge blackboard newspaper for Xu Lela at the entrance of the village. The theme of the blackboard newspaper was: "Excellent and Advanced Individual Household in Zhongnandong: No. 13 Neighbor - Xu Lela".

But was declined by Xu Lai.

Xu Lala's current psychological defense line is as strong as a copper wall, impregnable and invulnerable.

But Xu Lala never imagined that Chu Chu would be the most severely injured and most depressed victim after this sudden accident.

Chu Chu was languid, huddled at the head of the bed without moving, and even began to go on a hunger strike and self-isolation that night. At first, Xu Lai thought that as long as he coaxed Chu Chu and let him slow down, he would get better...

As a result, in the early morning of the next day, Xu Lai woke up hearing the rustling sound, turned on the light in the dark, and first saw Chu Chu's daily crown lying flat on the head of the bed, and it got into the stone egg again. Hearing Xu Lala's movement, it poked its head out of the eggshell, and gave a faint "chu" to Xu Lala...

Xu Lala was a little confused, subconsciously thinking that Chuchu was asking him for the broken eggshell that fell outside, so he quickly picked up the eggshell and handed it over——

But Chuchu poked out his small head, stretched out his pink tongue and licked Xu Lala's fingers.

Chuchu's original tongue was still a little warm, but now it feels completely cold to the touch.

Xu Lae was stunned for a moment, and saw Chu Chu lowered his head and licked the scales near his shoulder and neck.Chu Chu was licking the scales on his back again, storing the scent of Xu Lai.

Xu Lala asked worriedly: "...are you alright?"

Chu Chu responded with a "chu...", Xu Lai usually interpreted Chu Chu's words with guesswork, combined with the context, now he was confused and even more anxious.

Chu Chu realized that there was an obstacle in communication between himself and Xu Lai, so he lowered his head and took the eggshell from Xu Lai's hand without making a sound.

It's like feeling world-weary, retracting the eggshell to escape reality.

When the broken eggshell fits perfectly with the hole in the stone egg, the crack emits a faint light, and the damaged texture is automatically repaired directly in front of Xu Lai's eyes.

The stone egg was placed on the head of his bed intact, and the small piece of eggshell that broke out at the beginning of Chuchu also seemed to stick back intact.

Xu Lala was left alone sitting on the bed in a daze until dawn.

The three morning bells also came as expected, and there were three or two crows of roosters outside the house.

Xu Lala was afraid that something might happen to Chuchu, so as soon as the morning bell rang, he ran out with the stone egg in his arms, knocked on the doors of Luji's little genius doctor and Niu Ge Niu's wife, and asked them for help.

Neighbors sat around Dr. Luji's clinic early in the morning, brainstorming, and had a lively discussion about the stone egg in Xu Lela's arms.

There is no precedent for a cub to be sealed back in an egg after birth, so it's all a matter of guesswork.

The little genius doctor Lu Ji put himself in the shoes and shivered: "Don't say it's Chuchu, after what happened yesterday, even I want to hide to escape reality..."

Brother Niu also shivered, and said indiscriminately: "It is the cub's instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so we don't need to criticize its nature too much."

As soon as Brother Niu finished speaking, Mrs. Niu slapped him on the head, telling him to keep his mouth shut and stay away if he couldn't speak.

Mrs. Niu, a famous snake language expert, said to Xu Lai: "Chu Chu has a very strong personality. In yesterday's situation, we were all under the threat of the rhinoceros and dared not move. Only Chuchu dared not hide his hostility towards the rhinoceros. , especially when the rhinoceros released estrogen to you..., Chuchu went crazy and wanted to protect you. Therefore, it is even more impossible for it to hide and escape afterwards."

Aunt Niu said to Xu Lai: "In this situation, from Chuchu's point of view, it only hates itself for not being able to protect you well, so it wants to grow and become stronger."

Mrs. Niu began to analyze Chuchu's mental journey, and she guessed Chuchu's intention several times before, and now she is a recognized authoritative expert present.

She finally went back to the essence of the matter and explained: "Snakes must shed their skin during the growth process, but I have never heard of the situation of returning to the egg, but it is the offspring of Ovary at first, and it is different from ordinary snakes. We just need to wait for Chuchu to break the shell next time."

Aunt Niu patted Xu Lai on the shoulder: "It will be fine."

Xu Lala nodded, and hugged the stone egg into his arms.

Xu Lala also believed that Chu Chu would never abandon him because of the threat of the rhinoceros, and retract the stone egg to save himself, and let Xu Lala seek happiness for himself.

Just like Mrs. Niu said, if Chuchu's nature was really cowardly, he wouldn't have struggled so hard in Xu Lala's arms when he confronted the rhinoceros yesterday, and what's more, there would be no possibility of confrontation at all.

Chu Chu hated himself for not being able to protect him well.

Xu Lala hates herself even more for not being able to protect Chuchu.

Director Luo held a tea party in the morning. Neighbors gathered together for morning tea, encouraged each other to accompany each other, and felt the warmth of the big group.

Xu Lai's "orphan and widowed mother" family suffered a sudden change, and the neighbors expressed their concern and condolences. Xu Lai was also included in Director Luo's list of mental health, and privately discussed with Tang Siniang, a worker of the Women's Federation, to accompany Xu Lai more often.

Director Luo also proposed at the meeting to add a small game of scenario simulation.

Director Luo said: "Suppose you are a new male lion who dominates the lion pride, what will you do with the cubs in the lion pride? Kill or expel. Killing is recorded as a fork, and expulsion is recorded as a circle. Hey, vote by secret ballot."

Xu Lale:?

Director Luo's addition of this little game made him feel very suspicious, and subconsciously hugged the stone egg in his arms tightly.

But the other neighbors readily accepted it without any doubt, and politely took the pens and paper passed by Director Luo one by one.

Xu Lai could only follow in the footsteps of the public and was forced to start the game.

Xu Lai is now officially sitting in the neighbor's seat in Room [-] as the supervisor of Room [-]. He took the paper and pen handed over by Director Luo, frowning slightly.

Xu Lala started to think from the perspective of the normal alternation of lions seen in "Animal World", imitating other neighbors to cover their pens with their hands, and made a cross.

When a male lion dominates a new lion pride, he will always kill the cub with the blood of the previous head of the household, so that the female lion can mate with it and give birth to offspring as soon as possible.

Xu Lai threw the note into Director Luo's box.

After the 4 heads of households present voted by secret ballot, the voting result ratio was 8:[-].

Among them, four crossed out and voted "kill", and the remaining eight circled and voted "expel".

When Director Luo took out a note from the box to count the tickets, he shivered every time he saw a cross, and shivered four times throughout the process.

After the voting was over, Director Luo was not in a very relaxed mood. He plucked the hair on his forehead and explained to the neighbors: "This little game just now was actually to test the mental health of everyone here, so I organized everyone to start this simulation. As a result of the investigation of the situation, everyone heard it, and the situation is not optimistic. There are four neighbors here who have crossed it. It is obvious that yesterday’s threat from the rhinoceros has left a shadow, and their mental health has also been affected. I hope these four neighbors will pay more attention. Pay attention to adjusting your mentality, everyone should work together for a peaceful life in Zhongnandong."

Xu voted fork · mentally unhealthy · 砳砳: "..."

After the tea party, Xu Lai did not forget to go to the wasteland behind Mr. Qunfu's No. [-] room, and water some water on the small yellow flower standing alone on the chapped wasteland.

The petals of the little yellow flower are many and dense, but the flower is small but very delicate, showing a state of full bloom like a peony.

Xu Lala looked at the wilderness where not a single blade of grass grew, he stood here alone, the wind and sand slipped from his feet, just like this, he also felt chills on his back.

He also survived for several days in the world of monsters only by his own tenacious will, but now that Chu Chu was only "absent" for half a day, he felt uneasy everywhere...

Xu Lai came to visit this little yellow flower, hoping to borrow from it the strength to live hard today.

After Xu Lala watered the flowers, he went straight back to Room No. 13. Because there was no Chu Chu to protect him, Xu Lala didn't even dare to let Xiao Jiujiu out.

It was only then that Xu Lala realized that his peaceful days in Zhongnan Cave were almost all thanks to Chu Chu.

afternoon.

The shadow of the sun was still in the middle, it was about two o'clock.

At this point in time, most of the neighbors are still taking a nap, and Zhongnan Cave is extraordinarily peaceful and peaceful.

Xu Lai took out the lady's bicycle, carried her schoolbag on her back, filled as many glass bottles as she could, and then laid soft cushions in the front basket, and placed the stone eggs in the basket properly.

When he went out, he happened to meet Tang Siniang looking for him.

Tang Siniang was entrusted by Director Luo, and she really cared about Xu Lai, so she came to Room No. 13 for a stroll as soon as she woke up in the afternoon, but when she saw the stone eggs in the front basket, she guessed that Xu Lai might miss her child too much , I want to go for a drive to relax, ride a bicycle to re-take the road of "walking with you", and re-watch the scenery "seen with you"...

Tang Siniang sighed, and it was inconvenient to bother her, she comforted Xu Lala a few words, advised him not to worry too much about Chu Chu, and then went back.

After bidding farewell to Tang Siniang, Xu Lala set off for the source of Jiutian River. Two days ago, when he was riding Chu Chu in his car, there were loud whistles all the way. Starting from Zhongnan Cave through the lifeless scorched land, he never felt that this road was eerie and scary.

Xu Lala couldn't help but rang the car bell, and there was a crisp ringing of "Dinglingling—" which rang very abruptly on the vast scorched land. Not only could it not ease Xu Lala's inner tension, but it made his nerves tense tighter.

The scorched land is similar to the wasteland behind the No. [-] house. It is the same barren of grass, and the same dry and dry. There is no vegetation to hold the water and soil. When the wind blows, it will raise the billowing dust all over the sky, blinding the eyes and choking the mouth and nose. .

Xu Lala controls the front of the bicycle with one hand with his right hand, and pulls the zipper of the school uniform to the top with his left hand, and pulls up the collar to cover his nose and mouth.

Suddenly, Xu Lai felt a trace of refreshing and cold moisture brushing against the skin of his left wrist, and the red seal of the Ovary Protection Association glowed slightly red.

A soft and moist breeze lingered around his neck, brushing the ends of his hair.

——This wind does not belong to the scorched earth.

Just as the alarm bell sounded in Xu Lala's heart, a gentle breeze blew past him, but his back felt cold and his neck was stiff and motionless.

——He felt that the back seat of the car was slightly heavy.

After receiving it, a familiar yet unfamiliar gentle voice with a smile and surprise sounded behind him: "Oh, Mr. Lai, you have successfully laid a stone egg~ Birth is glorious! Congratulations~"

Xu Lala's legs were trembling, and he could no longer step on the pedals.

He put his feet on the ground, stopped the car, and twisted his stiff neck to look back in horror.

See, a member of the Yinwuxu branch of the Ovary Conservation Association, customer service number two of Hehuajing stood on tiptoe in the back seat of his car, with his hands behind his back, his legs standing straight, and his upper body leaning forward.

She tilted her head, with a standard smile, looking down at Xu Lai.

Xu Lai's heart almost stopped suddenly.

Lotus Essence No. [-] tapped its toes, turned over and jumped, flew over Xu Lai's head, and landed firmly in front of Xu Lai. The voice of the heart at this time.
