Chapter 29: Seven hundred and eight
Who would have thought that the two families, who usually have a good relationship with each other, would come to blows when something related to their interests came up, without any regard for human kindness.
"If we don't move away, we will have to continue to bear it."
Qu Zhou continued to persuade.
For most rural people, their hometown is their roots, and moving away from their hometown is very difficult.
So the old lady felt very embarrassed, but after hearing what Qu Zhou said, she immediately had an idea.
"Thank you, little girl. I will go home to discuss the move with my daughter-in-law. I will give you these fruits as a token of my gratitude."
After saying that, the old lady stuffed the fruit into Qu Zhou's arms, turned around and left with trembling steps.
"It's great. You can tell people's fortunes and you can also eat fruits."
Chongming took an apple from Qu Zhou's arms, wiped it on his clothes and started eating.
"There are no trees to prevent disasters. They are all man-made. Rather than living with bad neighbors for a long time, it is better to move early. It will be better for the whole family."
"Aren't you lying?"
Chongming complained while chewing an apple.
Qu Zhou raised his eyebrows and looked at the apple in his hand, "Aren't apples delicious?"
"tasty."
Got it, he just shuts up, why does he care so much.
"Didn't you catch it?" Qu Zhou saw that the bag on his body was still deflated. Usually when a soul enters, the soul locking bag will expand slightly.
If too many souls are put in, the bag will bulge like a fire.
"He ran away. I really can't do anything in a crowded place, but it doesn't matter, he will show up again."
Chongming sighed as he ate the apple. He would be nagged by the director again when he went back.
"Is it related to the black energy?"
Qu Zhou continued to ask, in the previous world, black energy was a good thing for her practice, but now she is an ordinary person and it is not involved in practice.
What's more, she was tired and only wanted to eat salted fish.
"Well, there have been more and more of these things recently, and they are always trying to steal our souls. They have happened several times, and the director also has a headache."
Chongming finished the apple in a few mouthfuls, then smacked his lips twice, "Let's go back, we can still make it in time for lunch."
"well……"
Quzhou couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong?"
“The service is a bit regretful.”
"..."
"Definitely next time."
It was already 12:30 noon when the two returned to the Monster Bureau. The Monster Bureau's cafeteria was in the northwest corner of the courtyard. The chef in the cafeteria was the Three-legged Golden Crow, and the chefs were other little monsters.
We have reached the finishing stage and most of the dishes have been eaten. There are not many mythical beasts and monsters living in the monster bureau, only about twenty in total.
So every time Jinwu cooks the dishes, he is very precise, but today he missed one person, Quzhou.
"How about we go out to eat?"
Qu Zhou glanced at the remaining food and felt that it was not enough for her.
"It's okay, I'll eat less and give you the rest."
Chongming took the initiative to give in, mainly because he didn't catch the soul body, and it was a bit inappropriate to take Qu Zhou for a trip and leave Qu Zhou without enough food.
"There are still some ingredients, I'll add them for you, wait a moment."
Jinwu turned around and went into the kitchen, quickly cooking a dish.
"Eat."
Chongming was a little uncomfortable, "Smelly Crow, why are you so kind today?"
"It's to welcome new colleagues. It has nothing to do with you. Please don't be sentimental."
Jinwu never forgets to mock his roommate.
Chongming: "..."
He seems a bit redundant.
"Quzhou, he is the three-legged golden crow, my roommate."
Qu Zhou took the plate from Jin Wu and said, "Thank you very much. I often hear Chongming mention you."
"oh?"
"He said he was tired of the food you cooked, so he came to my house to eat."
Jinwu frowned and looked at Chongming, "Is this the reason why you don't come back to eat often recently?"
Chongming felt a little guilty and took a step closer to Qu Zhou, "What good will selling me do to you?"
Qu Zhou pursed his lips, "I'm just telling the truth."
"Try my cooking."
Jinwu didn't argue with Chongming and signaled Qu Zhou to eat vegetables.
Qu took a bite of the porridge and found that it tasted good. He ate a few more bites and found that his cooking skills were comparable to Song Jing's, but the taste of the dishes they cooked was different.
"tasty."
"Thanks for the compliment."
Seeing the two of them getting along harmoniously, Chongming sneered and silently plucked the rice from his bowl.
After dinner, it's lunch break time, but not all monsters take a nap. Only a small number of them have adapted to human schedules and go back to their rooms to take a nap.
Considering that Qu Zhou was a human being, Chongming approached Mo Zhu and asked Mo Zhu to help arrange a bed for Qu Zhou to take a lunch break.
"How about this room? The roommates will be quieter."
Mo Zhu opened the door and found two beds inside, one of which was already occupied by a roommate.
"Okay, thank you."
After Mo Zhu left, Qu Zhou lay on the empty bed. There was a ready-made bedding on the bed, but it was actually a clean set. He had to admire Mo Zhu's execution ability.
As soon as she lay down, the roommate opposite slowly opened her eyes.
"Are you a human?"
The little girl, who was about ten years old, looked at her with curiosity in her eyes.
"Yes, my name is Qu Zhou, what's yours?"
"My name is Slowly."
Slowly showing a friendly smile, she is one of the few monsters who likes to sleep.
Qu Zhou nodded thoughtfully, it was indeed quite slow. Her speaking speed seemed to be 0.5 times that of normal people.
The two of them stopped talking in a tacit understanding and reached the consensus of taking a nap.
After a full nap, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when she woke up. Chongming told her that she had nothing to do this afternoon and could fish.
In the office, Lin Feng was still typing on the keyboard, and she seemed to remember that he didn't take a lunch break after dinner.
This is too strong. Is he really a monster? He has carried forward the spirit of 996 so profoundly.
Qu Zhou turned on his computer and logged into WeChat. When he found that there was no news, he started playing Minesweeper.
"Quzhou, are you busy right now?"
The office door was pushed open, and Ao Qiqi's little head emerged from the crack in the door.
"I'm not busy. Oh, it's about the morning, right?"
Qu Zhou remembered it and said he wanted to help Ao Qiqi do the math.
"Yeah," Ao Qiqi was very excited and wanted to come in, but when she saw Lin Feng working hard, she held back, "Why don't you come to my room and let's talk slowly."
Qu Zhou understood that she was afraid of disturbing Lin Feng's work.
"Quzhou, if you say seven hundred and eight carefully, it will be more. Do you really want to listen?"
When she arrived at Ao Qiqi's room, she invited Qu Zhou to sit down and then got straight to the point.
"Just tell me briefly so that I can analyze it more easily."
Qu Zhou took a closer look at Ao Qiqi's room, and found that it was also occupied by two people, but maybe Ao Qiqi's roommate didn't come back often, so the room was decorated by Ao Qiqi in the style of an aquarium.
As expected of a dragon, his fascination with the underwater world is extraordinary, but it's also quite cute.
