Chapter 128
Although Ye Xi helped Ms. Chen find her husband's soul last time, Zeng Taikui also successfully woke up.
But because Zeng Taikui lay in the hospital for several days, different experts came to consult every day, although in the end the experts did not check anything, but it also consumed the hospital's manpower and material resources, not to mention that Zeng Taikui lived in a single room, these medical expenses are not a small amount.
Ye Xi originally wanted to count his foot injury in their accounts, but seeing that their economic conditions were not well-off, he dispelled this idea, and only charged a symbolic fee to settle it.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, it is now the stall for all companies to rush their business, Ye Xi is no exception, he is ready to make a few more good profits before the New Year, no matter how strange the business he takes over, as long as the remuneration is generous enough.
Beibei heard Ye Xi talk about the price, hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at Ye Xi with a firm look: "Master, don't hide it, in fact, I ......"
"Wait," Ye Xi suddenly interrupted her: "Let me move first, my right foot was fractured before, and it has just healed recently, so I need to exercise properly." ”
After saying this, Ye Xi began to play Tai Chi in front of Beibei.
Tai Chi is a traditional Chinese boxing technique that combines the changes of the five elements of yin and yang, the meridians of traditional Chinese medicine, the ancient technique of guidance and the art of breathing, which is both internal and external, soft, slow and light.
Under Ye Xi's interpretation, the original Taijiquan, which was both rigid and soft, became only "rigid" and "soft" for some reason.
The fist wind gusted, Beibei watched in horror on the side, and finally swallowed what she wanted to say.
She suddenly had a delusion: Could she have come to the wrong place? Is this really the Qingxintang that Xiao Xi said to help people solve problems, not some black shop that has no return?
Ye Xi looked at Beibei with a "loving" face: "May I ask how much pocket money you have?"
Beibei was stared at by Ye Xi and trembled: "Yes, there are thousands, as long as you can help me find Ah Jiu, I will give you all my pocket money!"
"Thousands?" Ye Xi shook his head: "I'm sorry, at least a zero has to be added to the back." ”
"What?!"
Beibei was so excited that she bounced up from her seat at once: "So much?"
Ye Xi looked at her in surprise: "Much, I still give you a discount for the sake of being a minor." ”
Beibei: "......"
Beibei was silent for a while, and finally nodded with a sad face: "Okay, you can pay in installments, right?"
"Yes, but you'll have to pay me fifty percent the first time, no credit. ”
Ye Xi sat back in his position after Tai Chi and drank a cup of tea leisurely: "Say, what the hell is going on with that guy named Ah Qiu." ”
"Master, his name is ...... Jiu"
Beibei begins to talk about her encounter with Ah Jiu.
"After evening self-study from school that day, I passed by one of the school's flower beds and heard a noise inside. At first, I thought it was a rat or something, and I didn't bother to pay attention to it, but a crow suddenly rushed out of it, startling me. It fluttered on the ground a few times and finally didn't fly, and I looked at it curiously, probably because of the fight with other birds, and I found that its right foot and wings were all scarred. Since I saw it, I couldn't ignore it, so I grabbed it and took it home to take it to medicine, but in the process of medicating it, it actually spoke!"
Ye Xi calmly took out the sesame cake from the drawer and began to nibble on it: "What did it say? Thank you for saving your life, I can't reciprocate it, I have to sing you a song?"
Beibei shook her head: "It said...... 'Stupid human, you can't just rub the medicine lightly?!'"
Ye Xi: "......"
Well, the identification is complete. It's supposed to be a youkai, and it's a youkai that doesn't have to be beaten.
Beibei said that she was so frightened that she threw it to the ground at once, and then the crow gave her a blank look and said in a disdainful tone, "What a human who has never seen the world." ”
Although Beibei was a little speechless at the time, she saw that there was nothing terrible about it except that it had a bad temper, so she rubbed it again, and asked it curiously, "Can crows talk? Isn't it only starlings or parrots who can speak?"
The crow replied, "The starlings and the parrots are just talking and don't know what to mean. I'm different, self-taught! Look, I can still speak your human idioms, smart, right?"
Beibei nodded very facefully: "But why are you hurt like this?"
The crow was silent for a moment: "I escaped. ”
Beibei asked curiously, "Who did you escape?"
The crow nodded, his eyes gradually becoming gloomy: "That's a terrible place, it's our demon ...... Ahem, anyway, I escaped from a particularly eerie and terrifying place!"
"I see. Hello, I've finished wiping your injuries, if you don't have anywhere to go, stay at my house and slowly heal. My mom and dad are both out of town on business trips and haven't been back for months. ”
The crow had a haughty expression on his face: "Since you begged me to live here, well, then I will deign to live here." Eh, wait, who do you call 'Tweet'!"
Beibei smiled: "Of course it's you, I can't always call you 'crow crow', right?" and the name 'Ajio' is very cute!"
"Cute you're big! I don't need you to be called a weak chicken. In this way, you call me the emperor, and this name is said to be the noblest among you human beings. ”
"Oh. By the way, do you want to eat some millet?"
"I don't want to call me Ah Jiu, you want to call me the emperor! Also, I don't want to eat millet! You go get me a tomato scrambled egg!"
Beibei was stunned for a moment: "Tomato scrambled eggs, but aren't the eggs your descendants?"
"Hmph, why can't I eat eggs if I don't lay eggs? Go quickly, less salt, MSG, and more vinegar!"
"Oh. ”
Beibei obediently went to the kitchen to make tomato scrambled eggs for it.
In the following days, Beibei continued to go to school, and the crow named Chirp took over Beibei's bed and slept for a long time.
After Beibei came back from self-study at night, Ah Jiu would fly to her shoulder and clamored for her to get tomato scrambled eggs, which was so noisy.
Although Ah Jiu talks a lot, eats a lot, and has a bad temper, Beibei feels that it is much better to have Ah Jiu in front of her than to stay alone in this big empty house.
After eating this day, Ah Jiu drank the Coke that Beibei bought, watched Beibei washing dishes in the kitchen alone, and said leisurely: "You little guy should be underage according to the age of human beings, your parents can rest assured that you will be home alone?"
Beibei replied while brushing the dishes, "No way, they have to be busy with work, and I'm in high school, so it's time to learn to be independent." ”
"Well, the little one understands. Hey, I'm done with Coke, go out and buy it for me!"
"Now?"
"yes, don't go yet!"
“……”
The good-natured Beibei had to quickly wash the dishes and go out to buy a Coke for it.
But when she got home, Beibei found that Ah Jiu was gone.
