Chapter 40: Monsters in the City
"I haven't eaten in two days. I haven't eaten since I got on the train. Everything in the car smelled of oil. I'd rather eat grass. Xiao Liuzi smiled embarrassedly and twisted the towel in his hand.
"You really look like a golden firefly!" Ji Ao looked at him, shook his head and couldn't help but sigh, "Don't say you can't even drink wine." βγ
"Wine, I like to drink it very much, our family often makes wine with fruit and millet, it is very delicious. β
"That's good, bring the wine!" Ji Ao waved his hand happily and winked at him, "Then let's have a drink!"
"Before I came to the city, my uncle always said it was dangerous. He also said that you, Jin Hotaru, Suzaku, Lu Qing, and the nine-tailed fox are all dangerous. But I've seen them tonight, and you're not scary at all...... You're all very nice..."Little Liuzi looked at him and smiled.
"Of course!" Ji Aoke was not modest at all, "Even if the other youkai are dangerous, I am a rare good person." If there's anything you don't know about this city, you can ask me and I'll do it!"
At this time, the waiter brought seven or eight bottles of foreign wine and put them in the tray. Ji Ao opened the two bottles with a "bang", stuffed one bottle into Xiao Liuzi's hand, and grabbed one bottle himself.
"Here, drain all the bottles!" he said, tilting his head, "Coo-du...... "A whole bottle of brandy just let him drink it twice."
Xiao Liuzi couldn't help grinning when he saw Ji Ao's ruthlessness in drinking, looking at the vodka in his hand. The wine smelled very strong, but Ji Ao was too enthusiastic, and it was really bad to refuse him, so he gritted his teeth and poured the wine into his mouth.
"Okay! Looks like you've got a good amount of alcohol, and you've finally found a rival who can compete with me!
At the urging of Ji Ao, they took a bottle on the left and a bottle on the right, and quickly drank the wine on the table.
Xiao Liuzi's face was flushed with drinking, and he blinked his eyes desperately, trying to keep himself awake.
He has been making wine with his grandfather since he was a child, and the amount of wine is quite good, but their way of drinking is too fierce, and then look at Ji Ao, although his face is also red, but his expression is calm and sober, and he doesn't show any drunkenness.
"Ten more bottles!" Ji Ao waved his hand haughtily.
"Also...... Still drinking?" Xiao Liuzi hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, and he would be really drunk if he drank again, "No...... No...... Alright, now I see you have two heads. β
"I'll talk about it when you see my head for nine hours, just right with Zhang Lei. Come on, it!" Another bottle of white was stuffed into him, and Ji Ao urged, "You guy, why are you so unhappy? Hurry up and me!"
Xiao Liuzi gritted his teeth and forcibly drank all the bottles, he felt that he was really dying, he couldn't hold on anymore, and he didn't want to drink anymore.
"Good wine!, another bottle of Moutai!" Ji Ao grumbled, grabbing him by the neck and squeezing his mouth open. A bottle of Moutai was poured in, and he finished a bottle after pouring it, he wiped his mouth and said.
"I really can't drink it......" Xiao Liuzi kept begging for mercy.
"You're welcome. Don't help me save money!" Ji Ao "snapped" opened two more bottles. Xiao Liuzi staggered to his feet and tried to escape, but Ji Ao, who was lying on the sofa, grabbed his ankle and dragged him back.
"Don't go, we haven't had enough yet!"
Another bottle of wine was stuffed into Xiao Liuzi's mouth and poured down without thinking.
"Goo...... Goodo...... Help ......" Xiao Liuzi struggled desperately, tears welling up.
"Uncle, you're right, this Ji Ao is really ...... Goodo...... I'm going to drown in the wine...... Help me...... I don't drink anymore...... Goodo...... Help me...... "He was dizzy, he felt like he was dying."......
"Ah......h
Xiao Liuzi covered his head, * a sound, struggled to get up from the bed, he took a few minutes to recall what happened last night: he was completely drunk after being poured more than a dozen bottles of wine by Ji Aolian, and fell asleep after being drunk...... So what kind of place is this?
He looked around the room. The room must have been on a high level, and through the window, you could see the dense, rolling buildings and the sunset that was sinking in the distance.
There was only the bed where Xiao Liuzi slept and a wardrobe in the room. He staggered to his feet and pulled open the doorβthe hangover gave him a splitting headache, and he covered his head to find water.
When he walked out of the bedroom, he found that it was another bedroom, and Xiao Liuzi saw Ji Ao lying on the sofa at a glance, snoring and falling asleep with a big cushion in his hand, he was really moved for a while when he saw this scene: although he was drunk by him, after all, he still kindly moved himself home, and made a bed for himself, letting him sleep on the sofa.
"Hmm......" Ji Ao rolled over with a bang, Ji Ao smacked his lips "Baji, Baji", and muttered, "This person is so delicious, I can eat two more, Baji, Baji!"
Just thinking of the terrible scene of him eating people in his dream, Xiao Liuzi's wine woke up half in an instant. He was so frightened that he took a step back and tried to run away from the door.
This sudden sound startled Xiao Liuzi. He quickly turned around and saw several large windows on one side of the living room, through which the setting sun was shining through, and Jin Hotaru sat under the window and looked at him: "He only talks in his sleep. You don't have to be afraid. β
"Hotaru, why are you here?"
"This is my home. Jin Hotaru stood up, "Early this morning, Ji Ao drunkenly carried you to me, saying that he would put you here first, and then he wanted to pull me to continue drinking, because he was too noisy, and he was stunned by Yan'er." I don't know where you live, so I had to place you in my house temporarily. β
He walked over and poured a glass of boiling water for Xiao Liuzi, who took it and drank it in one go.
"That's ...... so"
Xiao Liuzi thought about it, he vaguely felt that Ji Ao was not the kind of person who let others sleep on the bed and sleep on the sofa by himself. He washed his face with cold water in Jin Hotaru's bathroom and ate a cabbage. I finally feel better.
"I'm going to my uncle now. Ji Ao said that he would only go to the park to set up a stall during the day. I'm worried that I'll be late and I won't be able to find him again. β
He looked around and found that his big backpack Ji Ao had also helped him, so he picked it up and said goodbye to Jin Ying.
"See? There's a big green meadow by the river. You can tell the taxi driver to go to the 'Spring Garden' in a moment. Jin Hotaru stood by the window, pointed in the direction of the park, and told him the way to the park.
"Thank you!" Xiao Liuzi bowed to Jin Hotaru and walked out the door.
Although Xiao Liuzi has not been in the city for long, he feels a little used to it.
He carefully avoided those unscrupulous young people, and called a taxi to the park, where there were many buildings, and the fact that there was such a place full of flowers and trees made him feel refreshed, and he only felt that his steps had become brisk, his head did not hurt, and his heart was full of hope to live in this city.
Although the yokai are very powerful and have all kinds of terrible legends, they are actually very friendly, not difficult to get along with, and not as aggressive as the big yokai in the mountains and forests.
Human beings are also divided into good and bad people, but he is a monster, isn't it too useless and shameful to be afraid of a pure human being? If you want to practice in the city, you must first learn not to be afraid of those evil human beings! Xiao Liuzi secretly made up his mind.
"This fortune teller is the Heavenly Master? Isn't he the great enemy of our monsters? Why is he the descendant of the Heavenly Master?"
Deciding on his next goal, he turned a small road and saw the fortune-telling stall, only to see a small table there, and a few white words on a green cloth banner: The Legend of the Heavenly Master.
"Uncle, uncle!" Xiao Liuzi didn't care about thinking about this, and ran over happily with a cheer, "Uncle, you made me look so hard! Why didn't you come and pick me up?"
Xiao Liuzi was happy and couldn't help complaining. When he ran to the hexagram table excitedly, it became clear that it was not his uncle Lu Weima who stood up to greet him, but a human man in the form of a monster he did not know.
