After being adopted by five nonhumans

Seeing Xiaoguyu's cute appearance, Rong Xiao and Yan Ji immediately put down their work, went to the well to wash their hands under Xiaoguyu's watchful eyes, and then walked to the living room.

The three ghosts and one cub sat down at the table, finished their meal quickly, and then continued to work before the sun set.

By the time the sun had fully set, the three brick walls of the room had been completed, leaving only the wooden beams to support the roof and the laying of tiles.

The three ghosts agreed to build a house together the next day.Yan Ji thought that it was getting late, and it was time for Xiaoguyu to go to bed, so he was about to say goodbye to Xiaoguyu.

Xiaoguyu still felt a little bit reluctant, and said goodbye to his brother eagerly.

Seeing the child sticking to his face, Yan Ji couldn't bear it and left like this. He knelt down, rubbed Xiao Guyu's head, and smiled softly like a spring breeze: "Then brother, just stay for a while, wait until you fall asleep." Let's go."

Hearing this, Xiao Guyu smiled brightly, and his eyes turned into crescent moons: "Thank you brother."

The little hand of the child holding his elder brother shrunk even tighter, and put his face on Yan Ji's neck, like a little milk cat warmly lying on its master's shoulder and acting coquettishly.

Yan Ji picked up the child and took him to wash.

Not long after, after washing, Xiao Guyu lay down on the bed in his pajamas, his eyes shone like stars under the candlelight.

Yan Ji was stared at by Xiao Guyu with such eyes, and the corners of his lips could not help but curl up. Seeing that Xiao Guyu was not sleepy, he opened the fairy tale book on the table: "Xiaoyu, do you want my brother to tell you a bedtime story?"

Of course, Xiaoguyu couldn't refuse the temptation of a bedtime story, let alone it was told to him by his brother.

After getting a positive reply from the child, Yan Ji began to tell the story.

He told Xiaoguyu the story of "Snow White". His tone was soothing and full of sense of substitution. Xiaoguyu was soon immersed in the fairy tale kingdom described by Yan Ji, and his mood fluctuated with Snow White's experience. .

After the story was finished, Xiao Guyu also began to feel sleepy. He grabbed Yan Ji's palm with his two small hands, and pressed his soft face to Yan Ji's palm. The child's breathing gradually became slower. I slowly fell asleep in my palm.

Sleep peacefully and contentedly.

Yan Ji only felt that his heart melted with Xiao Guyu's actions at this moment. It was an unprecedented experience for him to be trusted so wholeheartedly by a child.

For a moment, he was a little reluctant to leave, and really wanted to just stay here in this posture and guard Xiaoguyu until dawn.

But...he soon realized that it was getting late, and if he didn't leave, it would be time for him to die again today.

It would be bad to scare Xiaoguyu at that time.

Thinking of this, Yan Ji carefully pulled his hand out of Xiao Guyu's arms, seeing that the child was not awakened by him, Yan Ji heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and walked into the living room through the wall.

Dong Pang and Rong Xiao were sitting at the table, seeing him coming out, they asked, "Did Little Taro fall asleep?"

Yan Ji nodded, and said goodbye to them, leaving hurriedly and quickly.

He walked all the way through the big camphor tree, walked through the hillside, and finally walked into a dark and damp cave.

As soon as he walked into the cave, a wave of blazing heat that could make people mentally collapse surged up instantly. Yan Jiqing's handsome face showed a look of forbearance, with one hand propped on the rough rock wall, his veins bulged.

He maintained this posture, the originally fair skin gradually became dry and rough, the skin was dry and cracked every inch, with bleeding marks, itchy and painful, as if thousands of poisonous insects were crawling on his body at the same time.

In a daze, he thought of the tall city tower again. He used to be a reckless young man, surrounded by the people, riding a bay red horse across the tower, and his ears were filled with countless praises and amazement.

Later, he was stripped of his official uniform and hair crown, only wearing a snow-white undershirt, hung in front of the city wall to be scorched by the scorching sun, and what awaited him were the exclamation and disgust of passers-by.

This pain is long and tormented, even after a thousand years, every look and tone of disgust is still vivid in my mind.

Yan Ji was in such pain, but what he thought of was—I don’t know how Rong Xiao and Dong Fatty dealt with the repeated deaths every night, so that little taro could not see it?

Next time you have a chance, please ask, lest your inexperience scare the children.

On the other side, under the candlelight, Dong Pang and Rong Xiao sat facing each other: "Why did Brother Yan walk so fast just now? Could it be that there is something urgent?"

"He's already a ghost, so what's the matter?" Rong Xiao thought of something, and then said, "Have you told him that staying near Xiaoguyu can suppress repeated deaths every night?"

Fatty Dong: "No, haven't you told him?"

Rong Xiao: "...Me neither."

They realized why Yan Ji left so fast just now, and planned to tell him about it when Yan Ji came back tomorrow.

The next day, Yan Ji came to work in the yard at eight o'clock on time to clock in.

Rong Xiao saw him first, and hurriedly said: "Don't rush to work, come in and have some breakfast, Dong Pang will also do your part."

Yan Ji had a look of astonishment on his face, obviously he didn't expect Dong Pang to cook for himself.

After all, he is a fierce ghost, and it doesn't matter if he eats or not, but Dong Pang still does his part.

Yan Ji hurriedly thanked Dong Pang, Dong Pang waved his hand: "What's the matter, we are a family now, I must cook for you."

Dong Pang's tone was light and airy, but it sounded differently in Yan Ji's ears.

A warm feeling welled up in my heart.

Yan Ji sat down at the table, and Xiao Guyu hurriedly recommended to him: "Brother, try this fried dough stick made by Dad, it's very crispy and delicious!"

Yan Ji nodded again and again, picked up a fried dough stick and stuffed it into his mouth. The fried dough stick was as delicious as Xiao Guyu said. Yan Ji drank the hot porridge and took another bite of the crispy fried dough stick. The happiness in the world suddenly came so close close at hand.

After the meal, the three ghosts began to build the beams. Xiao Guyu couldn't help, so he stood by and brought tea and water, and made lunch for the day.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Ji put the last piece of tiles on her room with her own hands, and a red brick and tile house that looked out of place in the deserted village was completed. It was equipped with cheap second-hand doors and windows, and it looked very impressive. There are samples.

The room was built, and all that was left was to go to the town to buy a bed, a table and chairs. As soon as Xiao Guyu heard that it would cost money, he quickly got into the room, took out the lucky money he received during the Chinese New Year, and stuffed it into his pocket.

In the living room, several parents didn't know what Xiaoguyu was doing in the room, and urged: "Xiaoyu, are you okay? We're leaving."

Xiao Guyu hurriedly said: "Alright, alright, I'll come out now."

The three ghosts and one cub walked to the town together, and when they reached the small market for buying and selling furniture, Dong Pang and Rong Xiao asked Yan Ji to choose by himself.

Yan Ji didn't have any requirements for these foreign things, so he directly told the store that he wanted a cheaper one, and the store recommended him a bed without a headboard, 1.5 meters wide, and the price was only [-] yuan.

Yan Ji also decided on this. As for the table and chairs, the shopkeeper gave me a folding table, said it was [-] yuan, and gave away a chair. In the end, Dong Pang bargained down the price to [-] yuan. The bed, table and chairs were all taken away. .

Xiaoguyu, who originally decided to pay, touched the only 150 yuan in his pocket, and silently suppressed the idea of ​​paying.

During the Chinese New Year, he received three red envelopes, each worth 50 yuan, which should have been discussed in advance by his parents and Uncle Wang.

Xiaoguyu has never seen so much money, and thought that it should be enough to pay today, but he did not expect that he underestimated the price of furniture, 150 is not enough for furniture.

The child pinched the red envelope in his pocket in frustration, feeling a little lost.

Yan Ji noticed the child's actions: "Little taro, what's wrong?"

Xiao Guyu shook his head, still hanging his little head down.

Dong Pang paid the money and proposed to go to the vegetable market to buy some food first, and then come back to move the furniture, otherwise it would be inconvenient to carry things.

After picking out furniture for a while, it was indeed almost time for dinner.

When Xiaoguyu heard this, he immediately had a new plan, and hurriedly said: "Dad, don't cook today, I have brought money, I will treat my parents and brother to eat noodles!"

He still remembered the noodle restaurant he ate with Rong Xiao last time, the taste was really good.

"Little taro, where did you get the money?" Fatty Dong asked with a smile before he turned the corner.

Xiao Guyu took out three red envelopes from his pocket, "Here!"

Dong Fatty understood in an instant, and he hurriedly said, "Little taro, you can keep this money for yourself. This is the pocket money your parents gave you."

Xiaoguyu's white and tender face was full of confusion: "I'm just spending money, I want to spend money to invite everyone to eat noodles together."

Dong Pang was at a loss for words for a while, and was moved by his own cub's sensibility.

Seeing this, Rong Xiao said, "Okay, Mom accepts Little Taro's treat."

Hearing the words, Xiao Guyu shifted his eyes to Yan Ji again, and he stared at Yan Ji eagerly. Yan Ji couldn't say no, and immediately surrendered: "Brother, thank you in advance for the treat."

Dong Pang saw that his teammates turned their backs one after another, so he stopped insisting immediately, and said to Xiao Guyu, "Hey, then dad will eat too."

Xiaoguyu became happy instantly, with a bright smile on his face, and ran at the front of the line with short legs: "Father, mother and brother should follow me well, I will take you to eat noodles~"

Looks like a dedicated little tour guide.

The three ghosts exchanged glances behind him and couldn't help laughing.

My own cub took the initiative to invite him to dinner, of course he wanted to pamper him!

Not long after, a few people walked to the Xiangxiang noodle restaurant.The chairs in the noodle restaurant are very high, so the organizer of the dinner... that is, Xiao Guyu, was carried on the chair by Yan Ji.

The proprietress came over and asked, "What do you guys want to eat? Our beef noodles, big row noodles, and rib noodles are all signatures."

Subconsciously, Dong Fat still wanted to save money for Xiao Guyu, so he asked immediately, "Do you have vegetarian noodles?"

The proprietress: "Vegetable noodles, shredded bamboo shoot noodles."

Xiao Guyu said strangely: "Dad, I remember you don't like vegetarian food..." He remembered that Dad could eat several pieces of braised pork in one sitting.

Fatty Dong: "..."

Rong Xiao smiled and shook his head, "Order what you like, we little taro have the money to pay."

Xiaoguyu nodded vigorously, and placed the three red envelopes on the table in a very "proud" manner, and said in a childish voice, "Yeah, I have money."

The cute appearance made the proprietress couldn't help laughing, and praised: "Your children are really sensible, and they teach really well."

She has been running a noodle restaurant for so many years, and she has seen many parents and children come to eat noodles together. The parents picked most of the meat and vegetables in the bowl to the children's bowls, and the children still think it is not enough.

It is rare for a child to take the initiative to treat guests like this.

If the three ghosts got Xiaogu taro, they would no longer refuse, and ordered what they wanted directly.

After all, Xiaoguyu's money is spent now, and it will be the same to give Xiaoguyu another pocket money at that time.

A few minutes later, the steaming hot noodles were brought to the table. The three ghosts and one cub held their own noodles and unwrapped the plastic wrapping of the chopsticks.

The next moment, the three ghosts picked up their own meat and vegetables and piled them into Xiaogu Yu's bowl almost at the same time.

Xiao Guyu waved his hands again and again, his little head shook like a rattle: "No, no, I can't fit it in my bowl."

The three parents who seem to spoil their children easily: "It's okay, there are still vacancies here."

"Dad just put the last piece of meat, really."

"My brother doesn't like to eat meat. Little taro can help my brother eat more."

The proprietress who saw this scene: "..."

It's really not easy for this child to live in such an environment that easily corrupts the soul, but he has not been spoiled until now.
