readx;? In the evening of spring, the twilight is like amber, the warm breeze is like wine, and people are drunk. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xu Mu carried a bag of dinner ingredients briskly and walked towards the high-rise community next to him.
Walk through this community and walk two streets west to Qingping Lane. The supermarket at the entrance of this community, which just opened last week, not only has fresh ingredients, but also is closer to Qingping Lane than other supermarkets, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to walk to Wanli Pavilion.
Five or six steps in front of Xu Mu was a young man with light blonde hair, carrying two of the largest supermarket plastic bags in his hands, stuffed to the brim, obviously just returning from the supermarket.
Probably because it was too full, the two cans of beer inside fell out, and rolled down the stone road to Xu Mu's feet.
The courier brother bent down to pick up the two cans of beer, handed them to the young man who hurriedly turned around to chase the beer, and saw that both of his hands were occupied, so he simply helped him stuff them directly into the plastic bag.
"Thank you. The young man smiled embarrassedly at Xu Mu, revealing a mouthful of beautiful white teeth.
"You're welcome. Xu Mu nodded to him, and the two walked side by side on the sidewalk.
The young man talked to Xu Mupan enthusiastically, "My name is Bai Yan, what is your name?
"My name is Xu Mu, and I live two streets across the back door. The courier brother raised his eyebrows in the direction of the supermarket, "There is no supermarket over there, so I can only buy it here." ”
"This supermarket is really convenient, I just moved here today, and the first thing I did when I put down my luggage was to come out to buy rations. Bai Yan shook the plastic bag in his hand, "In this world, there are three things that cannot be empty, wallet, stomach, and refrigerator." In no particular order. ”
Xu Mu bent the corners of his lips, this guy is a foodie who is in love with someone.
"You look like you're still a student, aren't you?"
"Well, juniors this year. ”
"Cherish your time studying, and when you go to work, you'll know how happy you are when you go to college. ”
………………
The two chatted as they walked, and soon walked to the location near the side door of the community.
A yellow civet cat slammed out of the green belt on the side of the road, and waved its paw at the bag that Bai Yan was carrying in his hand with a clear goal, [New arrival, pay the protection fee quickly. 】
Xu Mu: ..................
In these years, even cats are mixed with the underworld?
Bai Yan was taken aback.
The plastic bag was cracked under the claws of the yellow civet cat, chocolate, mustard peanuts, ham sausage, grilled fish fillet...... The contents of the bag fell to the ground with a bang.
The tanuki looked to be half a year old, but it was full of pride. Its belly and claws are snow-white, and its limbs and back are covered with beautiful orange tabby stripes.
The kitten fussy stretched out its paws and pulled around the snacks on the ground, and finally lowered its head and picked up the grilled fish fillet, and walked away on its toes.
"I'm here to rob. Bai Yan was stunned for a few seconds, then looked at the back of the kitten calmly disappearing into the bushes, shook his head helplessly, and bent down to clean up the mess.
"Maybe it's hungry, aren't you angry?" Xu Mu hurriedly put the ingredients in a small plastic bag and handed his blue non-woven shopping bag to Bai Yan. Because of the relationship between Fu Zhu and Babu, he has a natural closeness and connivance to the kitten, and he subconsciously wants to help the kitten ask Bai Yan for a favor.
He had secretly observed just now that the demonic aura on the kitten was not strong, that is, between the first and second levels, and it didn't seem to hurt anyone.
"What's there to be angry with a kitten. Bai Yan smiled good-naturedly, "It's so beautiful, if I'm willing to stay, I'd like to adopt it! It is estimated that it is impossible to get it to stay on its own. ”
A week later, Xu Mu ran into Bai Yan who had returned from shopping in the supermarket, and when the two walked near the side door, the tabby cat jumped out again, [New arrival, quickly pay the protection fee for this week. 】
Xu Mu: ..................
Dare to rob and be addicted?
[Just its thin arms and legs, it's embarrassing to collect protection money? Who will give it?] The husband who has no delivery task complains in the unicorn beads.
Bai Yan took the initiative to take out a bag of shredded squid from the plastic bag and handed it over.
The kitten took it and walked away with the "loot" in his mouth.
Husband: ..................
It's so easy!
The third time, Bai Yan even specially prepared a bag of cat food for the kitten.
[Fool, who wants to eat this thing, small dried fish! want small dried fish!Do you understand?] The tabby cat slapped the bag of cat food with his left front paw and gave Bai Yan a "king's contempt" look, and then picked up the fish-flavored ham sausage and swaggered away.
"It doesn't seem to like cat food? The shopping guide clearly said that this brand of cat food is very popular. Bai Yan looked at the cat food that was left in place, and glanced at Xu Mu suspiciously.
Xu Mu scratched the stupid hair on the top of his head, "It seems to be, or ...... Next time you'll buy him a pack of dried fish?"
Because of the similar work and rest time, Xu Mu often met Bai Yan near the supermarket, and often witnessed the scene of Bai Yan's robbery.
Since Bai Yan absorbed Xu Mu's suggestion, gave up cat food, and bought small dried fish as a protection fee, the kitten was obviously much more satisfied, and occasionally flicked his tail at Bai Yan in a happy mood, [Yes, this brand of dried fish is the best. 】
The little tabby cat is very principled, it only grabs the white edge, but it turns a blind eye to Xu Mu, who is not a resident of the community, and never touches Xu Mu's bag.
"Strange, why does it never rob you?" Bai Yan suddenly reacted.
[Stupid, which little demon will rob the Taoist!] The tabby cat looked at Bai Yan with disdain, turned around and walked away with his "protection money" for the week.
"Probably it also knows that I am just an innocent person passing by the community. Xu Mu said with a smile.
White edge: ..................
Occasionally, when passing by the community, Xu Mu would also see the tabby cat patrolling the community with its tail cocked, looking proud like a king.
Xu Mu also once asked Feng Yuan about the robbery of the kitten, whether such behavior as this little tabby cat was a violation of the rules of the human world.
Feng Yuan, who was reading the Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture albums, said lightly that the little tabby cat's behavior would not be questioned by the Public Security Administration, first, it did not involve the part that endangered human life, and second, it was not intimidation at all, because the language was not understood at all.
On the last day of the holiday in May, the sun was warm and the sun was lazy.
Xu Mu in the Wanli Pavilion was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and he had to go shopping for vegetables when it was dark. As soon as he walked out the back door of the community, he heard someone shouting his name.
Looking back, Bai Yan, who looked like he had just gotten off work, was walking briskly down the sidewalk from the corner of the street, coughing as he went.
Xu Mu was about to raise his hand to say hello, and keenly noticed that Bai Yan's face was wrong. He quickly pinched and crossed his eyes, and found that Bai Yan was followed by a fluctuating cloud of black smoke, which was wrapping around his neck.
Wild ghosts!
The kind that still has to find someone to replace you!
It must be where Bai Yan accidentally recruited him today! The courier brother was shocked, and hurriedly reached out to touch the talisman in his pocket, wanting to help Bai Yan exorcise ghosts.
At this moment, a yellow shadow suddenly jumped down from the wall, and the claw wind swooped fiercely in the direction of Bai Yan's back, and instantly entangled with the black shadow.
Xu Mu took a closer look, but it was the little tabby cat who often robbed Bai Yan. The kitten's pupils flashed with a fierce light, and he attacked the wild ghost with great courage, trying to protect the white edge behind him.
Xu Mu bent the corners of his lips, it seems that the protection fee for more than a month has not been paid in vain. The little guy works hard!
Bai Yan turned his head strangely and found a kitten fluttering on the ground like a nervous disorder.
"What is it doing?" Bai Yan looked at the kitten, and then at Xu Mu.
"I heard that cats can be psychic, maybe, at this moment, it is fighting with the ghosts we can't see to protect you!" Xu Mu said half-truthfully as he looked at the little tabby cat with teeth and claws.
"If that's the case, it looks like I'll have to pack more dried fish in the future. Bai Yan shrugged his shoulders jokingly.
"You have to add two packs. Xu Mu patted him the shoulder and fought for a "high" protection fee for the little tabby.
The wrinkled nose of the husband in the unicorn bead is dissatisfied, why don't you give me a courier fee?
Late at night, everything is silent, and thousands of lights are lit.
The little tabby cat lay on the wall and licked the wound on its paws, and the other little three-flowered cat said puzzledly, [Those wild ghosts and evil beasts want to kill people, you just let him kill them, what to fight with them, and get all the injuries. 】
The little tabby cat looked up at a window on the sixteenth floor that was as bright as before, and flicked its tail disdainfully, [What do you know, he is dead, who will I collect protection money with in the future?]
The person I covered, no one wants to move!
At the same time, in the Wanli Pavilion of Qingping Lane, Fu Zhu was planning his own part-time plan, and he decided that in the future, he would collect protection money in the western community, and each person would have two bottles of Sprite!
