me and my monster neighbor

As soon as Xu Lala turned around, the little girl rushed forward and grabbed Xu Lala's schoolbag strap.

Xu Lala turned her head, and when she looked down, she saw the little girl's face was flushed with cold, and her round grape-like eyes were filled with tears. She said, "Help my cousins...they were caught by monsters today, today." gone……"

Xu Lala's eyes fell on the bag of fried lotus root boxes that Grandma Hu gave him. Each lotus root box was as big as a palm, and the ingredients were large enough to support one person by eating three, but there were more than fifteen in the bag.

Apparently, the grandson the grandma was talking about was not limited to the siblings in front of her.

Xu Lala was silent for a moment, he looked at the little girl, and asked softly: "I didn't even save you, how can I save them?"

"..."

The little girl looked up at Xu Lai in a daze, her tears fell to the ground. Seeing Xu Lai's back disappearing in the flower field, she held her brother's sleeve tightly with both hands, but she didn't have the courage to follow Xu Lai leave together.

At the beginning of the day, Xu Lai held hands and walked through the flower fields without saying a word.

Xu Lala was suffocating in his heart, and he stepped on the stem of Ziwu flower to be discouraged, especially the Shenwu Snake was still in his mind, mocking Xu Lala for being too naive.

Intimidation may not be a once-and-for-all method, but it is the most time-saving and labor-saving way. This method is applicable to both human and monster races.

Xu Lela left without Chuchu and stayed in the meridian flower field.

The flower demon is dead, and this meridian flower still has her demonic aura, but it will naturally wither at sunrise tomorrow.

Meridian flowers had a strong hypnotic effect when they first bloomed. Xu Lai decided to take advantage of the time when all the residents of Haomeng Town were asleep, and asked Chu Chu to use the mud-turning spell to forcefully send them all back to the town.

Xu Lala thinks that the hero who is burdened with misunderstandings in the movie may also scold "I will let you die", but there is still no hero who will abandon the masses.

Heroes can also lose their temper.

Heroes can also scold: Fuck you, since you want to die, I will never stop you.

Heroes are just ordinary people.

But ordinary people will also act chivalrously when they can.

Xu Lala just wanted to be an ordinary person.

The monster world is proud of its cruelty and viciousness, and is not ashamed of its insidiousness and cunning. In this world where predators run rampant, kindness is not a victim of this world where evil is respected. Every monster is a predator and the prey of others.

The world is cannibalizing itself.

Xu Lala looked down at his hands, the square gauze on the back of his right hand was the most conspicuous.

His eyes dimmed a little: he has not yet become a prophet, he relied on Chuchu's demon power to save the residents of Haomeng Town, but the residents of Haomeng Town kept asking him to kill Chuchu to prove his identity as a prophet.

This is ridiculous, but Xu Lae couldn't laugh.

Xu Lala turned back subconsciously, he stopped suddenly, and Chu Chu staggered a step unprepared, Chu Chu hurriedly backed up two steps, he sneaked a look at Xu Lala a little at a loss, pursed his lips in a panic and lowered his head .

Just as Xu Lala was about to speak, Chuchu moved his lips, lowered his voice, and said in a low voice, "Lala...I'm very good, I've always been obedient..."

"..."

Xu Lala suddenly felt his throat congested.

Chu Chu is very obedient, he can shred three A-level catastrophe monsters with his bare hands, but because of Xu Lai's words "Don't resist", he will be obediently used by the helpless residents of Haomeng Town with a flower stem with burrs It hit him in the face, and the flower demon who was not worried had a chance to attack him in close quarters.

Chuchu is more than just obedient.

Xu Lai didn't know what to say for a while, he was silent for a long time, held back for a long time but didn't say a word, Xu Lai was not good at words, especially when it was sensational.

As soon as Chu Chu secretly raised his eyes uneasily, Xu Lai ruffled his hair.

Chu Chu looked down on the ground, and stretched out his hands to smooth his hair, looking extremely cute.

Xu Lala said: "Chuchu is the best."

Just being touched by Chu Chu's hair can clear away the misty clouds, and he is as easy to coax as always, which makes Xu Lae feel a little bit more guilty.

Waiting for Xu Lai to calm down his emotions, he found the big and small stone spirits, and Xu Lai waited for the Meridian flowers to bloom on the back of the stone spirits. By the way, he summed up the reasons for the failure of the hero's debut.

He pulled out the soul and body of Shenwu Guishen. If Shenwu Snake hadn't "deliberately" come out to "protect the lord" tonight, directly exposing Xu Lai's "absolutely extraordinary" mana, he would not have suffered a good dream as soon as he appeared The townspeople were skeptical.

Shenwu Snake "hissed" and insisted that at that time the townspeople threw the meridian flower stem at Xu Lai, and Xu Lai raised his hand to block it. Naturally, he immediately protected his "contract master". What was wrong with him? Weak and stupid humans.

Although Shenwu Snake refused to admit his mistake, he answered with a correct attitude, and even used the word "Master" when addressing Xu Lai for the first time.

Compared with "little trash" and "trash human race", as soon as the words "contract master" were uttered, Xu Lala even thought that Shenwu Snake was really eager to protect the master.

Taking advantage of Xu Lai's further study, Shenwu Snake changed the subject and said, "Just now, in front of those ignorant human races, you claimed to have traveled from another world... Is this true?"

Xu Lala was coaxed lightly by the sound of "Master", and replied frankly: "I did travel from another world, but I fell into the village of monsters as soon as I opened my eyes, maybe I missed some procedures, I didn't become prophet."

There was a sudden silence.

Xu Lai asked: "What?"

Shenwu Snake "hissed" twice and said, "I want to confirm one thing first."

Xu Lala said: "You say."

Shenwu Snake asked: "The prophets of the human race drive all monsters to death. If you can really become a prophet, will you kill Chuchu and us?"

Shenwu Gui, who was silent for a long time, also echoed: "That's right."

Shenwu Snake also secretly stuffed his name behind Chuchu's name. Now he has to beware of this human race. If the useless human race in front of him is really a human prophet, then he and Shenwu Gui really have eight lifetimes of bad luck before they commit suicide. Cast a net and sign an agreement with the Prophet.

Shenwu Tortoise and Shenwu Snake were suffering in their hearts.

As we all know, the human prophet is a demon hunter. He does not have gorgeous and gorgeous demon skills, but he is immune to all demon spells and physical attacks-the "all demon spells and physical attacks" here even include the so-called TGM, which is natural disasters level monsters.

Shenwu Guishen didn't have to be afraid before, but now he has to be afraid.

The first reaction when encountering a human prophet is to turn around and run—this is a common survival rule in the demon world.

When Chuchu heard the question from Shenwu Snake, he looked over it carefully.

Xu Lala replied without hesitation: "Whether to kill you or not depends on your performance, but I will never turn my sword against Chu Chu."

Shenwu Snake asked: "Then what if... the condition for becoming a prophet is not to let go of all the monsters? Including Chu Chu, we... and these two stone spirits."

Xu Lala sat on Shitou Jing's back, watching the little Shitou Jing lying on the big Shi Jing's neck, stretching out his short arms to grab the meridian flower stems fluttering in the wind. Press down the branch of the flower plant on yourself so that the little stone spirit can get it.

Xu Lala turned his head to look at Chuchu.

Chu Chu also looked at him.

The two sat very close to each other, and it was Xu Lala who stretched out his hand to reach the distance between Chuchu's shoulders. Xu Lala raised his left hand and hung it on Chuchu's shoulder, tilted his head and smiled, and said, "Then I will not be a prophet, and I will rely on Chuchu's shoulders in the future." Give me old age."

Xu Lai took it easy, and was even in the mood to tease himself: It is best to raise a child to guard against old age.

Chuchu nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay."

He also took the opportunity to move a little closer to Xu Lai's position.

Suddenly, a burst of sweet floral fragrance interrupted the symposium of Xu Lai and others. Blood-red flowers were blooming at a speed visible to the naked eye on the green flower stems as far as the eye could see, like an upside-down red lantern, the calyx split open, The stamens hang down from the half-contained buds.

The midnight hour has come, and the meridian flowers bloom.

A burst of sweet and greasy floral fragrance shrouded the whole meridian flower field like a mist. The meridian flower fragrance has a hypnotic effect, and it is said that it also has the miraculous effect of weaving sweet dreams.

Being in the hinterland of the flower field, the fragrance of flowers permeated the air. Xu Lai also felt that the temperature in the cold night had risen a lot.

When Xu Lala and Chuchu returned to the hinterland of the flower field where the human race gathered, they saw that the residents of Haomeng Town had all passed out.

They fell asleep and slept peacefully.

Xu Lai ordered Chuchu to transport them directly back to Haomeng Town. Xu Lai took out a few bottles of Jiutian River water from his schoolbag, which was convenient to carry with him, tore a piece of paper and wrote on it the words "monsters are afraid of Jiutian River water, keep self-defense", and the paper rolled He stuffed the bottle into the peach-colored pocket of the little girl from the Hu family. He was about to leave when he suddenly noticed tears in the corners of the eyes of the middle-aged man who was protecting his siblings.

It blooms under the mid-noon moon, and the flowers are all over the branches. Good dreams keep people sleeping.

Xu Lala was suddenly curious about what the residents of Haomeng Town saw in their dreams.

Xu Lala asked Shenwu Guishe to open the protective barrier. He picked a meridian flower and took a deep breath of the fragrance of the flower. This was the first time Xu Lala experienced the feeling of "too sleepy to open his eyes" since he traveled to the world of monsters. The voice of Shenwu Guishe rambling in his mind also gradually faded away.

Xu Lala lay on the back of the big stone and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Xu Lala opened the door as usual, and as soon as he entered, he stared at the ground in a daze.

There was a pair of pure black women's short leather boots in the entrance, and he even knew that the shoe size was 230.

Xu Lala was still standing at the door in a daze, when he heard a crisp sound from inside the room—it was the sound of glassware being thrown on the ground and smashed into pieces.

Xu Lala took off his shoes and followed the sound towards the source of the sound, but after taking two steps, Xu Lala felt dizzy and dizzy. He leaned on the wall and walked to the kitchen, and suddenly stopped at the door again.

There is a big wall clock on the wall facing Xu Lai, the hour hand stops at the number 4, and the minute hand points to the number 3.

The time is 4:15 in the afternoon.

The dizzy vision swayed from the wall to the ground, where there were broken tiles and a puddle of milk that hadn't been cleaned up in time.

My mother, who was always gentle and smiling on weekdays, squatted next to a puddle of milk, crying on her knees, whimpering and sobbing.

It was also the first time Xu Lala saw his mother cry.

Xu Lai stood at the door blankly, did not step forward, did not leave quietly, and stood there holding the door frame for a long time, until his mother found him.

My mother's first reaction when she saw him was astonishment, she wiped away her tears, and came to Xu Lai's side anxiously. She didn't ask Xu Lai if he skipped class, but held his hand tightly, and put the back of her hand against him She raised her forehead and asked nervously: "La La, why do you look so bad, do you have a fever? Why don't you call and ask your mother to pick you up? Go, go to the hospital right away."

It was only then that Xu Lai suddenly remembered that this was something that happened four years ago.

Four years ago, when Xu Lai was in the third grade of junior high school, his height had just reached 1.7 meters. There was a height scale marked at the entry porch, and the tallest pencil scratch marked 170.

That day he was sick and asked for leave. He took a taxi home alone, but saw his mother sitting in the kitchen, crying sadly over a glass of broken milk.

Three years later, his parents suddenly divorced.

Everything that happened suddenly seemed to have no signs, but there were already signs.

That day he was foolishly taken to the hospital by his mother. He is not a person who is good at expressing his inner thoughts, so he hesitated to speak all the way that day, without asking or saying a word.

Xu Lala regretted for countless days and nights that he didn't wipe his mother's tears that day, and he didn't ask her why she was crying. If he had done it then, would his mother feel better and would not have to divorce later.

And Xu Lai did the same.

He stretched out his hand to help his mother wipe away the wet tears from the corners of her eyes. He asked, "Mom, why are you crying? Did my dad make you sad?"

My mother just shook her head when she heard the words, holding Xu Lala with one hand, and picking up the wallet and keys with the other.

She said, "It's none of my father's business, my mother is a crybaby, you just found out."

Xu Lala suddenly said, "Then don't divorce Dad."

Mom said with a smile: "Why should I divorce him, we won't divorce."

Xu Lala was as stubborn as a child, and confirmed again and again: "Don't mention divorce in the future."

Mom said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "What's wrong with you today, don't have a fever and burn out, go to the hospital quickly."

But Xu Lala was still rambling on, spit out what he regretted not saying in the past few years:

"You don't want to divorce my dad..."

"If you're unhappy, just tell me..."

"My dad is very busy at work, I'm going to buy you roses..."

"My dad misses you very much..."

"I don't want you to leave..."

"I also……"

"I miss you."

His mother looked astonished, as if she didn't know how to respond to her son who was suddenly enthusiastic, pursed her lips, and finally said:

"La La is so good."

……

Xu Lala slowly opened his eyes, and he woke up.

The mother in the dream is close at hand, he can hold her hand as soon as he reaches out, and even feel the temperature of her palm.

In the dream, he kept acting like a baby, but he didn't act like a baby when he had a fever in the third year of junior high school. His parents divorced in the third year of high school, and he was past the age where he could act like a baby. On the day his mother left home, he was selfish and indifferent, and he didn't say a word to stay. , didn't even go out to see her off, and just sat by the floor-to-ceiling windows from the beginning to the end, concentrating on playing with his Jiulianhuan.

Xu Lala suddenly understood the reason why the residents of Haomeng Town were obsessed with Meridian Flowers. Besides that Meridian Flowers could help them sleep well in the turbulent world of monsters, it was also because Meridian Flowers fabricated a dream called Regret.

No one can resist such a dream.

Xu Lala was stunned for a long time after waking up from the dream. He saw Chu Chu for the first time, and he looked at Chu Chu quietly.

The phrase "La La is really good" in the dream reminded him that he subconsciously said to Chu Chu, "Chu Chu is the best".

But he said so many things in his heart to his mother, but he didn't say it for the sake of being praised as "really good".

It must have been the same at first.

Xu Lala suddenly said: "Next time, if I ask you to be obedient and obedient, others will have a chance to hurt you, so you don't have to be so obedient."

Chu Chu tilted his head half-understood, and asked: "...is it okay to be naughty?"

Xu Lala patted his head, nodded and said: "The premise of being good is that you have to protect yourself first."

The Shenwu Snake hissed disdainfully.

Chuchu had transported all the sleeping residents back to the entrance of Haomeng Town, and thousands of people were lying crookedly on the ground. Xu Lai asked Shenwugui Yunli to leave a few words on the ground, writing "Ziwu Flower Field has been destroyed, the evil monster is dead , Haomeng Town is very safe", and then signed the word "Mi Qi".

The Shenwu Turtle snorted, and with a wisp of demon power, it instantly left a line of words on the open space, forming a semi-encircling circle and enclosing the townspeople lying on the ground into a protective barrier.

But Xu Lala stood on the back of the big stone, trying to read the handwriting on the ground. He found that Shenwugui's writing habit was from right to left, and even the word "Mi Qi" was signed by him as "Qi Mi".

"..."

Party A expressed dissatisfaction and ordered to revise it: "I can't even write a name well, let's delete the signature."

Shenwugui was afraid that Xu Lai "may" be a prophet of the human race. He wanted to coexist peacefully, so he could only curse him in a foreign language: "$%@#&&*#!"

The hour was about to pass, the moon was dim, Xu Lala and Chu Chu were standing in the darkness, and suddenly saw Hu Gaohuan, who had been insane all day long, wandering to the entrance of Haomeng Town. When he found the townspeople lying on the ground, he was frightened His face was pale, and then he felt that the townspeople were breathing heavily, and he carried the townspeople one by one into Dream Town without saying a word.

The moonlight was very bright that night, Hu Gaohuan was panting heavily, and profuse sweat replaced his tears.

Xu Lala didn't know what Hu Gaohuan would see in Meridian Flower Dream, but Xu Lala knew that Grandma Hu hoped for the safety of her children and grandchildren. Now that her children and grandchildren have returned, they also brought the sad news that a pair of grandchildren were killed.

It has been more than twelve hours since the grandmother's grandson disappeared, and the hope of being rescued is almost equal to zero.
