me and my monster neighbor

Leaning on crutches, Director Luo leaned over to take a look, said "Hey", and said strangely: "Isn't this the cover of the cub's book? How could it be left here?"

Director Luo was still pounding his cane to find the rhythm, humming a few words impromptuly on his own——

*I know you're human

*Clothed in soft and tame skin

*has a vicious heart

*burn my daddy

*take my mom

* eat my brother's meat

*drink my sister's blood

* I was thrown into formalin

*Body tiptoes lightly

*looking at you through the glass window

*I know you're human

Director Luo, probably in order to conform to the voice of humming nursery rhymes, sang thin and sharp with a rough voice, which was unbearable to the ears.

Xu Lala was horrified when he heard it, his fingertips felt cold, and his palms were sweating.

Only monsters would use this nursery rhyme as a children's book for monster cubs.

After singing, Director Luo looked back, frowned and said, "So who is littering?"

There was no one around, only the hens cooing in the chicken shed.

Xu Lai's Adam's apple rolled, and he swallowed hard. He glanced at Director Luo in panic, but Director Luo's eyes were completely blocked by the small round black sunglasses, and the lenses were completely opaque. He couldn't see Director Luo hiding behind the sunglasses. eyes.

Xu Lala cautiously asked: "Director Luo... is this nursery rhyme true?"

Director Luo gave an "ah" in surprise, and replied, "Of course it's fake!"

?

Xu Lai frowned subconsciously.

Director Luo laughed and said, "Nursery rhymes must be to deceive the cubs. After all, you can cultivate the hatred of the monster race against the human race from an early age. Besides, even I have never heard of formalin."

"..."

Xu Lai pulled up the corners of his stiff mouth and smiled at Director Luo, echoing, "I haven't heard of it either."Still in shock, he pinched the cover of the nursery rhyme booklet in his hand. He didn't dare to use too much force with his fingers, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hold it, and his fingertips couldn't stop shaking. No matter how he held it, he felt too stiff, for fear that Director Luo would see the clue.

Director Luo was concerned about Xu Jie's living experience on a daily basis, and after Xu Jie's reply with a stiff smile saying "I slept well", Director Luo explained his purpose of coming with confidence: "Every month in Zhongnan Cave, there will be a morning for the residents. Yes, the main purpose is to promote communication and sharing between neighbors, and to solve unnecessary small disputes and small conflicts in a timely manner. You just moved here, so you must not know about it. I am here to inform you. Everyone After a little breakfast, we will gather in the past, and we can have morning tea and chat together."

Xu Lala nodded, and added bluntly: "Okay."

After Director Luo's notification was in place, he was ready to greet the next family.

He turned around leaning on his cane, and Xu Lai just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief when Director Luo turned his head back.Director Luo shrunk his neck and bowed his head, his small round sunglasses slipped down slightly, revealing a pair of small eyes with raised eyelids, he looked at Xu Lai, smiled with no front teeth, and said, "Little comrade, you can come over soon. .”

Xu Lale choked for breath, and was still intimidated by Director Luo's ugly appearance to this day.

He nodded with difficulty.

When Director Luo left, Xu Lai closed the door, leaned his back against the iron gate, and gasped for breath.

Coated paper has a certain degree of hardness. When you hold it in your hand, the edges of the paper scrape your palms and your palms hurt. The eight printed characters of "I know you are human" hurt your eyes even more. The stick figures next to the characters are wearing small skirts. , grinning, showing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

This card was obviously a monster warning him.

But who?

Several suspicious suspects jumped out of his mind at once, whether it was the philanthropist bat spirit wearing a smiling mask, or the mastiff spirit with fierce predator eyes while twirling Buddhist beads and ringing the bell to worship Buddha on the surface, or There are neighbors in Room [-] and Room [-] who I haven't met so far...

Xu Lala's head was hot, his lips were dry, and the boiled water kept swaying in the glass in his hand, but he couldn't get it to his mouth for a long time.

He pursed his pale lips, and his Adam's apple rolled.

Xu Lala tried to calm down. Although he had no idea who left this note, at least he could make one thing clear—in Zhongnandong, which promotes unity, friendship, and mutual assistance among neighbors, kindness is the only thing that maintains the balance of the neighborhood. It is also the most important indicator, the monster who left the note will not and dare not attack him.

It's like the bat spirit who suspected that Mrs. Niu's child died at the hands of the inexperienced doctor Luji. He was sarcasm of Dr. Luji, but he didn't dare to speak out, because breaking the balance of kindness would cause an avalanche of panic.

And when he first traveled to Zhongnan Cave, Director Luo once said that Zhongnan Cave has demon mouth indicators, and the remaining twelve demon mouths are too auspicious. Either new residents will be recruited, or one family will be killed by infighting, so now unless There are new monster residents living in Zhongnan Cave, otherwise they will need Xu Lai so that Zhongnan Cave will not face the fate of being ordered to demolish by superiors.

The monster didn't dare to touch him, so he only left a threatening letter instead of identifying Xu Lala as a human being in person, or revealing his identity as a human being to the public.

The threatening letter was a warning and a threat, but it was not an invitation to death.

And the threat in most cases is just the last resort of bluff.

Xu Lala figured this out, held the water glass with both hands, and drank half of the glass of water in small sips. He finally calmed down a bit.

Xu Lai sprayed on the perfume, took two bottles of water from the source of Jiutian River, the size of oral liquid, with him, and went to Director Luo's sub-district office for an appointment an hour later.

The cactus flowerbed in front of the door was missing a corner because Director Luo dug it up yesterday to serve as a thorn fence for Xu Lela's chicken farm.

As soon as Xu Lala walked to the door, he heard the noise in the room, which was very lively.He opened the door, and the furnishings inside the house have not changed much. The only change is that besides the yellowed big-character poster on the moldy wall, there is another red one Banner——

"Live in the same cave! Die in the same cave! We are neighbors in Zhongnandong who love each other! —— Zhongnandong mid-month regular meeting and experience sharing meeting on the road to wealth."

Xu Lale: "..."

I saw that the round table of twelve seats was surrounded by monster neighbors, leaving only one vacant seat in room seven.

Even the neighbors in room No. 11 and room No. [-], who were absent from Xu Lai's welcome meeting last time, also came.

Xu Lala glanced around in a hurry, trying to guess who stuck the threatening letter under his door.But most of the neighbors were chatting left and right, with normal expressions.

Xu Lale pursed his lower lip.

The current situation is nothing more than a competition of acting skills. He wants to pretend that he is not afraid, while the other party will pretend that nothing happened.

Xu Lala felt that he was forced to play a werewolf killing game, looking for a wolf among a group of monsters.

It is a real-life werewolf who will be killed if you don't pay attention.

The neighbor of Room [-] is Hyena Spirit, a bald guy wearing a medical mask. He doesn't look very old, but the brown-yellow hair on his head is sparse and sparse, and it can't even cover his scalp.He has two big ears on his head, one ear is missing half a corner, and the scar is hideous.It is said that it was bitten off by a highly respected female hyena in the hyena group when it was young.

He sat on the third seat nervously and restrainedly, with his neck shrunk, and his dark and round eyes were uneasily looking left and right, but Mr. Bat Jingfu and Mr. Mastiff Jingbuying sitting on his left and right were almost indifferent to him. comminicate.

The neighbor who lives in Room No.11 is a spider spirit who just completed the egg incubation period last night. Her name is Zhizhi. A spot with a red pattern in the shape of an hourglass underneath.

Xu Lala's first impression of her was that no matter how she looked at her, she didn't look like a kind and simple infatuated young woman who would never leave her husband who was ill in bed, but more like a dark girl with sickness.

And Tang Siniang, who was sitting next to the spider spirit, was comforting the weaving girl.The reason why she ended the fertilization period early this time was because the spider eggs were full of bad fetuses. The reason was very likely that the father's body was weak, and the genes passed on to the fetus were all inferior genes, so the survival rate was too low.

Tang Siniang held her hand, stroked the back of her hand and sighed: "I heard that your black widow spiders have to eat male spiders to provide more nutrition for the fetus..."

Zhizhi girl withdrew her hand from Tang Siniang's hand, and pressed the middle fingers of both hands on her temples, and the other four fingers curled up into orchid fingers, so as not to rub off the makeup on her face, especially the black nail polish covered with fingernails.

She lowered her head and shook her head from side to side, crying, "No... I can't do it, I can't say it... I really love him."

Xu Lale: "..."

Tang Siniang sighed, "I understand, I understand", her eyes were full of pity for the weaving girl.

But Xu Lala knew that Tang Siniang's psychological activities must be crazily spurning Weaver Girl's hopelessness, and it would even be a stumbling block on her way to promote feminism.

At this moment, Tang Siniang saw Xu Lala coming, she hurriedly got up and greeted her enthusiastically, "La La, you are here!"

Tang Siniang held his hand with a smile. In Tang Siniang's eyes, Xu Lai was different from other females. He was her top student and the best successor to her feminist thinking.

Tang Siniang warmly introduces Xu Lai and Zhizhu Jing. Although Zhizhu Jing's fetus did not survive, the spider Jing's pregnancy experience is still warm. She hopes that Spider Jing can share her experience with Xu Lai.

Mrs. Niu and Widow A also came over to say hello to Xu Lai.

The three females who had been pregnant together talked about the hardships and difficulties of pregnancy.

The spider essence has just finished her pregnancy and has consumed too much vitality, her body is weak, and her mana has not recovered yet, so she needs to take care of her for a while.

Xu Lai's belly was touched by Mrs. Niu and Zhizhi girl in turn. When they heard that Xu Lai would be pregnant for a hundred years before reaching the expected date of delivery, everyone felt distressed for Xu Lai.

Girl Zhizhi held Xu Lala's hand tightly, and greeted the other females, "It's really not easy for a single mother to have a child. Look, Lala is still wearing clothes with the back collar torn..."

Hearing what Zhizhi girl said, Xu Lai touched the collar with his backhand, only to find that there were two small holes in the collar of the school uniform jacket, but because it was covered by the turned-down collar, Xu Lai didn't notice it when he changed the jacket. pay attention to.

Because of the holes in the clothes, Xu Lai received the double-voiced sighs from the Zhizhi girl and the widow A.

Only the carefree Mrs. Niu smiled and said, "Isn't it just that La La found out that the clothes are torn? It's true that once she's pregnant with a child, she can't even take care of herself."

Girl Zhizhi sighed when she heard this. She didn't refute Mrs. Niu face to face, but said to Xu Lai, "You are the only one who loves the child so much. You have morning sickness during pregnancy, and you can't sleep at night. At this time, who is there?" Will come to hurt you..."

Mrs. Niu was dumbfounded. As the only female in the audience with a loving partner, she was always too rude to talk about such sensitive topics.

Girl Zhizhi poked her sore spot, her husband was bedridden, no different from a single-parent family.The more she talked, the more sad she became, and holding Xu Lai's hand with red eyes, she said: "I will weave a new set of clothes for you when I go back today. We must take good care of ourselves, you and us sisters."

Xu Lala thanked her sister awkwardly.

It wasn't until Director Luo called everyone back to the round table to sit down that Xu Lai was freed from the encirclement of females.

The mid-month exchange meeting officially started.
