Dream Pet Shop

The door of Xie's house was wide open, and everyone inside and outside the door was stupefied, and no one spoke for a long time.

"Why don't you two stand at the door and don't come in?" Xie Yan poked his head out from behind Xie Jiajun, and when he saw Xia Jiti's things on the ground at the door, he pouted at Xie Jiajun: "Why are you standing there? Why don't you help?" Brother Xia brought the things in."

Xie Jiajun came back to his senses, didn't say anything, bent down and picked up the things on the ground, turned around and entered the house.

Xie Yan found slippers for Xia Ji, Xia Ji wondered while changing the shoes, "Why is he at your house?"

"Him? You mean Xie Jiajun?" Xie Yan took it for granted, "He's my cousin, he's staying at my house recently."

"..." Fate is really wonderful, Xia Ji couldn't help sighing.

"Xia Ji is here, come here and let Auntie take a look!" Aunt Xie called Xia Ji from the living room.

After Xia Ji changed her slippers, she hurried over and called out, "Auntie."

Xie Yan and Xia Ji have been classmates since junior high school, and since then they have often visited each other's house to play.Aunt Xie is also very familiar with Xia Ji's parents, so it can be said that she also watched Xia Ji grow up.What's more, after Xia Ji's parents passed away, Aunt Xie took good care of him. In Xia Ji's heart, Aunt Xie is similar to his relatives.

"He's become handsome again!" Aunt Xie pulled Xia Ji to look at him with a smile, and after a compliment, she frowned and complained, "But she lost weight!"

"Not thin, auntie." Xia Ji smiled shyly.

The son on the side thanked him sourly and said: "Why does the old aunt treat you so differently? Xia Ji has become handsome and thin at the same time. Why did all the good things happen to him? My son, you think you are fat and ugly every day. .”

Aunt Xie scolded mercilessly: "Xiao Ji is more handsome than you because he is fresh and refreshing! Look at you being a moth all day long and dyeing your hair in a mess! You deserve to be unable to get married!"

That's right, Xie Yan came out to her family as soon as she graduated from high school. Aunt Xie is considered a very open-minded parent, she didn't put too much pressure on Xie Yan, and even though Xia Ji and Xie Yan have a good relationship, she never asked Xia Ji about this. Xiaji has always been very grateful for this kind of small thoughtfulness.

"I can't tell the old aunt clearly." Xie Yan waved his hands irritably.

Aunt Xie didn't bother to talk to her son, so she hurried to the kitchen to fill out a bowl of pork rib soup and told Xia Ji to sit down and eat.There was an air conditioner in the room, but the soup was still steaming. Aunt Xie turned on the air conditioner fan again, blowing it on Xia Ji, in case he would get hot.

Sitting at the table, Xia Ji bowed his head and sipped his soup, enjoying this family-like thoughtfulness.

Aunt Xie sat next to him and chatted with him: "I heard from Xiaoyan that you are now running a pet shop by yourself. Is it too hard to do business? You have lost so much weight."

After Xia Ji drank a bowl of hot pork rib soup, sweat broke out on the tip of his nose. He wiped the sweat with his hands and said, "It's not very hard without auntie, maybe it's because it's hot in summer and I eat less. A little thinner."

"Then why don't you come to Auntie's place to eat often, Auntie will make delicious food for you."

Aunt Xie told Xia Ji many things again and again. Xia Ji listened patiently, but the words of thanks next to her could not be listened to anymore: "Old lady, can you take a breath before talking?"

Aunt Xie glared at her and said, "I'll send your uncle a bowl of soup."

Xia Ji took out the silk quilt he had brought. As soon as the quilt was rolled out, people felt a chill, and it was soft and cold to the touch.Xie Yan is now covered with this kind of silk quilt every night. With this silk quilt, he doesn't even need to turn on the air conditioner at night, and he feels very comfortable.

Xie Yan sighed: "I have a lot of silk pajamas, but I have never had one that is as cool as your silk quilt. If you sell it, it will be sold out in an instant. It is much better than opening a pet store."

Xia Ji laughed dryly. Although baby jade silkworms like to spin silk, they haven't reached the point where they can mass-produce silk quilts.

"Mass production is impossible, at most we can make some as gifts to relatives and friends." Xia Ji asked again: "Is your uncle in good health?"

"Lie down on the second floor of my house, otherwise this kid wouldn't have followed me to my house." Xie Yan said.

Xia Ji glanced at Xie Jiajun who was nestling on the sofa next to him and playing with his mobile phone. He had mixed feelings in his heart, but the other party was Xie Yan's cousin after all, so he had to give Xie Yan some face, so he tried not to think about the Dormouse baby. .

Xie Yan continued: "I heard that my uncle met a friend in the university for the elderly, and he usually likes to exchange hobbies together. But that friend's hobbies are unusual. People keep cats and dogs as pets. He just likes to keep pets." Some strange things, such as snakes, lizards and so on... My uncle was curious, so he went to his house to have a look, but he started to have nightmares when he came back that night. At first, the family laughed at him for being timid, but Later, I had nightmares every night and my blood pressure was high, so I became worried."

"Are you still having nightmares?" Xia Ji asked worriedly.

"Do it. That's why he didn't dare to live at home, so he insisted on dragging his family to my house. Dreams can't escape. Living in my house isn't the same as having a nightmare." Xie Yan complained.

Xie Jiajun, who had been playing games with his head down, raised his head very sensitively, and said indifferently: "Please, I don't want to come to your house either, okay?"

"Stinky boy!" Xie Yan gave him a disgusted look, he hated this handsome young man dangling in front of his eyes very much.

Xie Yan turned his head to continue talking, but found that Xia Ji was staring at Xie Jiajun, and Xie Jiajun was still a little evasive when facing Xia Ji, gossip Xie smelled adultery, he raised his eyebrows and said: "You two... …know?"

Xia Ji quickly looked away and said, "He has been to my store several times."

"Isn't it? Such a coincidence?" Xie Yan was a little surprised.

"Many students in our class went, and I just went along with them." Xie Jiajun immediately explained.

Xia Ji complained silently in his heart: The brat has the guts to flirt, but now he's scared.

Seeing Xia Ji looking at Xie Jiajun with unfriendly eyes, Xie Yan immediately dismissed his previous thoughts and asked, "This kid is in the second stage of middle school, did he cause you any trouble?"

"You are only in the second grade!" Xie Jiajun got up from the sofa impatiently, turned around and went upstairs.

It was rare for Xie Yan to see Xie Jiajun running away with a guilty conscience, and he couldn't help becoming more worried: "Didn't this kid really do something wrong?"

Xia Ji asked him with a complicated face: "Is your brother... the same?"

"What is it?" Xie Yan looked at him in confusion.

"Oh, forget it, it's okay." Xia Ji thought it would be fine if he killed this matter in the cradle, and there was no need to talk about it everywhere.

Aunt Xie came down from upstairs and saw the silk quilt on the sofa, she immediately laughed: "I told his uncle just now that Xiaoji came to deliver the silk quilt, so I can sleep well now. I'm going to wash the dishes Xiaoyan, take the quilt up and give it to your uncle."

Xia Ji got up following Xie Yan, and said, "Since I'm here, let's go up to visit Uncle as well."

Xia Ji followed Xie Yan to the second floor and came to the room where his uncle lived.The room was relatively dark, with thick curtains drawn, only the lamp beside the bed was lit with orange light, and Xie Yan's uncle was leaning against the bedside to read a book.

Xie Yan changed the silk quilt Xia Ji brought to his uncle. His uncle felt the silk and sighed, "It's really different. It's comfortable and cool. I hope I can sleep well later." Xia Ji thanked: "Young man, thank you so much! You are my lifesaver."

"Uncle, you're being polite, it's just a trivial matter." Xia Ji said hurriedly.

Although the light in the room was relatively dim, Xia Ji could still clearly see Uncle Xie Yan's two deep dark circles and bloodshot tired eyes.When Xia Ji's parents had just passed away, he had insomnia and nightmares alternately for a period of time, and he had a deep understanding of the feeling of being extremely exhausted but unable to fall asleep, or afraid to fall asleep.

Xia Ji comforted Uncle Xie Yan a few words, and then left the room without disturbing him any more.

Before Xia Ji didn't know that Uncle Xie Yan was troubled so badly by nightmares, when he mentioned nightmares, he suddenly thought of Dream Frog.According to the "Plane Pet Encyclopedia", the dream frog's ability includes devouring nightmares.

So Xia Ji said to Xie Yan: "The silk quilt is at most cool, so most people can sleep well if covered, but I'm really not sure if it has the effect of calming the nerves. Uncle can't go on like this. If you still have nightmares tonight, you and I Say, I'll think of another way."

Xie Yan asked curiously, "You still have a way? What way?"

Xia Ji didn't say anything, just said: "You remember to call me tomorrow."

"Mysterious, let's do it, little genius doctor Xia." Xie Yan curled his lips.

……

Xia Ji went back to the store and found that everyone was watching the "tug of war" between the little green bird and the dream frog on the table. They used the ribbons outside the cake box. The table was full of small biscuits. Bet on who will win.

Xia Ji sighed, it’s good not to learn, these things are self-taught.

Since the little dream frog was hatched, it has also drank a lot of pet growth and ability enhancement supplements, but it has never grown up, and it is still a small green one.

The "Green War" saw the critical moment, and Ah Feng roared the loudest: "Frog and frog, come on!"

The little dream frog pulled the ribbon and jumped forward vigorously, pulled the round and soft little green bird directly, and rolled it on the table a few times.

"Yeah! That's great! The biscuits are all mine!" Ah Feng hurriedly pulled all the biscuits on the table to her.

"Cough cough." Xia Ji, who had been watching for a long time, coughed, and everyone turned around in surprise. The little dream frog hopped vigorously, directly on top of Xia Ji's head, and Xia Ji reached out to hug it down.

"Gathering | Gambling | Gambling" was forced to end, and everyone dispersed angrily.

Xia Ji told Long Wei about Uncle Xie Yan, expressing that he wanted to help him with Meng Frog's ability, and wanted to hear Long Wei's opinion.After all, if you really want to pass Meng Frog's ability, you have to leave Meng Frog at Xie Yan's house overnight. This is the first time he let a pet hatched from a pet egg spend the night alone in someone else's house.

"Brother Long, do you think it's feasible?" Xia Ji asked while hugging the little dream frog.

Long Wei thought for a while and said, "Since it's your friend, it should be able to guarantee the safety of the dream frog. As long as it can ensure the safety of pets, it doesn't matter. Since the dream frog is born to devour nightmares, maybe this is also good for its ability improvement."

"Okay, that's it."

The next day Xia Ji received a call from Xie Yan. Sure enough, Uncle Xie Yan's nightmare situation did not improve, so Xia Ji took the little dream frog to Xie Yan's house.

In order to avoid their curiosity, Xia Ji put the little dream frog in a tree house model, and then put the tree house model on Uncle Xie Yan's bedside table.When everyone asked him what it was, Xia Ji only said that it was a mascot brought back from abroad. The local people believed that it had the effect of dispelling nightmares.

At first, everyone didn't believe it very much. Xie Yan even planned to send his uncle to see a psychiatrist, but he didn't expect that his uncle would really stop having nightmares after leaving the model tree house for one night!

When Xie Yan brought the tree house model to the pet shop the next day, he was still amazed: "This thing is amazing! My uncle really didn't have a nightmare last night, he slept until noon and didn't wake up. Said it felt alive again!"

Xia Ji smiled: "It's great to be able to help uncle."

After Xie Yan left, Xia Ji quickly released the little dream frog from the tree house. The little dream frog jumped into his palm precisely, raised his head and called Xia Ji: "croak."

"Thank you!" Xia Ji touched Frog's small head with his fingers, and suddenly found a black spiral pattern on the back of Frog, which was originally green, and the color was thick and chaotic.

Xia Ji quickly checked the Encyclopedia.

[The host does not need to worry, after the dream frog devours the dream, depending on the content of the dream, spiral patterns of different colors will appear on its back, which means that the dream frog is digesting the dream, and the spiral pattern will disappear naturally after the digestion is complete.Digesting dreams will help improve the ability of dream frogs. 】

"So that's the case." Xia Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

When exiting the system, Xia Ji unexpectedly discovered that the tasks of the intermediate tasks that had been making no progress had changed, and the current task progress became: 2/100.

Xia Ji suddenly realized that the newly added 1 should refer to Xie Yan's uncle.

In this way, the [-] guests required to receive in the intermediate task are not limited to the customers who enter the store for consumption, as long as they have unsolvable problems and need the help of pets, they all meet the requirements.Xia Ji suddenly felt that he had a clue about how to complete the intermediate task.

Two days later, Xia Ji received a call from Xie Yan again, saying that his uncle's friend with special hobbies had also been plagued by nightmares for a long time, and he hoped to borrow Xia Ji's tree house model again.

Xia Ji immediately agreed. On the one hand, he was able to help others and complete the task. On the other hand, he always felt that this matter was not easy.So the next day Xia Ji took Xiaomengwa and Long Wei to the house of Uncle Xie Yan's friend.

The old man lived in a seven-story old-fashioned community, and his house was on the fifth floor. Xia Ji and Long Wei were halfway up the stairs when they heard arguing in the corridor.

"I don't care! I just want to quit! It's because I bought your evil thing that I have nightmares every night!" The uncle said angrily.

A voice that seemed to be a smile but not a smile sounded, and Xia Ji was taken aback for a moment.

"Master, when we sold it, it was agreed that it will not be refunded or exchanged if it is not sick or injured. I came to see it today and found that the pet is very healthy. You want to return the product for this reason. Isn't it difficult for someone to force you!"

The author has something to say: Ah Fengda hid in the quilt and counted his spoils: "One small biscuit, two small biscuits, three small biscuits..." Then fell asleep.

Little Dream Frog: "Wow! This dream is really fragrant!"
