Chapter Forty-Eight: Gluttonous Imps
"Grandpa's Dream Illusion Technique has been lifted!" On the roof, a chubby toddler muttered to himself.
No one was sure of his answer, he was alone, with bright eyes seeing what was happening at home.
Today, he sneaked out of the house early in the morning and did something dishonorably - went to the tavern's cellar to steal wine.
Of course, this matter can only be regarded as a big deal in his house, because the tavern he went to, the proprietress happened to be his grandfather's nemesis.
From the moment he opened his eyes in the Netherworld, he and his grandfather wandered in this dim city, boring days are the easiest to make ghosts go berserk, and they will inevitably be caught by ghost doctors and beauties for treatment, and he cleverly uses food to fill the hole in his heart.
For this reason, his grandfather, who was not good at food, was fortunate enough to invite the best chef in Netherworld City to develop food specifically for him, and over time, he suddenly found that the delicacies of the mountains and seas at home were not as delicious as the clear soup outside, so he turned into a food thief in Netherworld.
It's a pity that his luck has always been bad, every time he eats and drinks enough, he will always be found by others, and those who have the ability will beat him up, and those who are not able will complain to his grandfather, and if there is too much trouble, his grandfather will also be angry, so he began to restrict him from going out.
Just like today, he secretly ran out, and after stealing the good wine of the proprietress of the restaurant, he was directly thrown out of the store by the proprietress of the restaurant, thinking that he could avoid the pain of flesh and skin, but he didn't want to be unlucky enough to bump into his grandfather who went out to drink tea on the street.
No need to guess, he was locked up at home by his grandfather like that.
Because there is a trap house caused by the dream magic skill at home, it is impossible for the enemy to come in and hurt him, and he also has no way to escape from the house, and this time grandpa locked him in the backyard, the dream magic skill is not lifted, and without the leadership of grandpa, he can't even enjoy the food of his own house.
What he didn't expect was that now the dream magic technique was actually lifted.
Thinking of this, the child suddenly stood up, and his round face was full of smiles, which was really cute.
In the blink of an eye, you can't see what he's doing, he's already on the hallway, and he's already in the hallway, moving towards the kitchen.
Smelling the fragrance coming from the kitchen from afar, he inhaled hard, and then rushed to the kitchen, but when he rushed to the kitchen door, he stopped his body again, looked up with bright eyes, and then stretched out his arm and appeared directly on the beam of the corridor.
"Master, it seems like you haven't cooked so many dishes in a long time." A childish voice came from the kitchen.
The child knew the owner of the voice and wanted to greet him, but his words stopped him.
Recently, he often goes out to steal food, and naturally rarely lets the master cook food, so it stands to reason that the master doesn't have to cook today, after all, grandpa locked him up at home to punish him, not to let him enjoy the food at home.
"Yes, if it weren't for the distinguished guests at home today, the old guy wouldn't have told me to do it." The master sighed.
To tell the truth, he really wanted to go to the back room to see what kind of distinguished guest could make the old guy so entertained.
"Distinguished guests? Who is it! ”
"I don't know, if you're really curious, I'll send the food to the back room later, and take a good look." The master shook his head, and his good apprentice did not think of a good reason to go to the back room to see the distinguished guests.
Hearing this, the child grinned, jumped off the beam lightly, and then rushed into the kitchen and shouted, "I'm so hungry, I want food!" ”
"Oops." Hearing his voice, the master immediately panicked.
In order to ensure that the food was not snatched away by the child, before he ran to meet the child, he quietly signaled the good apprentice to quickly serve the prepared food away.
Seeing all this in his eyes, the child first wrestled with the master for a while, and at the moment when the apprentice stepped out of the kitchen with good dishes, he suddenly flashed in front of the apprentice, quickly reached out and stole a little of the food on the plate, and threw it into his mouth before the master scolded, completing the process of destroying the food and destroying the traces.
"Little ghost, this dish is not for you." Knowing that the child's speed was extraordinary, the master had no choice but to give up the work at hand and hold the child's hand so that the apprentice could leave quickly.
The strength is not comparable to the master, the child had to watch his food being taken away, a few tears fell in his bright eyes, and after a tantrum of grievance, he did not look back and rushed out of the door.
Feeling that something was wrong, the master slowly remembered that the child might take the opportunity to escape from the house, and after throwing down the spatula in a panic, he hurried to the back room.
Food comes first, and the temptation can't be stopped.
When the old man, the owner, announced the start of the meal, Xiao Xun immediately showed his heyday speed, watching the food disappear like this, Xiao Ying opened his mouth, stretched out half of his hand and stiffened in mid-air.
The old man had a statement that he would let them eat well today, and Xiaoying was relieved and bold to be gobbled up by Xiaoxun.
The old man was very happy that his food could be recognized by others, and he suddenly felt a headache when he thought of his naughty grandson.
Finding his strange appearance, Xiaoying said softly: "If you have a headache, go and rest, you don't need to accompany us." ”
"I'm fine, I'm ......"
"Old fellow, it's not good, it's not good!" Before the old man could finish speaking, a dark shadow rushed in.
If it weren't for the old man's quick hands and feet this time, he stopped his waist and restrained his momentum, I was afraid that all the good dishes on the table in front of Xiaoying would be given to the earth to taste.
Seeing that the person who came was the master, the old man's originally ugly face had improved a lot, and Xiao Xun, who was eating happily, raised his head at this time.
"Disturbing other people's food is an act of indebtedness." Swallowing all the food in his mouth with difficulty, Xiao Xun slapped his hands on the table heavily, and his glass eyes stared at the master deadly.
Afraid that her murderous aura would be exposed again, Xiaoying's empty hand vigilantly pressed the book of the dead in her arms, thinking that if something was wrong, she would take out the book of the dead.
However, her worries were too redundant, and when the master heard Xiao Xun's words, he immediately apologized, and Xiao Xun, who was originally angry, couldn't find a reason to continue to be angry.
Seeing Xiao Xun sitting back in place, Xiao Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but saw that the master whispered in the old man's ear with a nervous expression.
Xiaoying was about to ask if something was wrong, but after listening to the master's report, the old man didn't say hello, and rushed out of the back room.
Sorry to bow to Xiaoying, the master chased the old man out of the back room, Xiaoying frowned, and began to wonder what happened.
Similarly, Xiao Xun was also curious, she had already filled her stomach in the state of eating fiercely before, but when she saw the same deliciousness, she lost her appetite.
"Shall we come along?" Xiao Xun touched his stomach and asked.
Xiaoying was about to nod, but a voice answered before her: "No need." ”
I looked at the voice in surprise, it was a round face, and the bright eyes on the face looked at the food on the table in a blink of an eye.
"It's you!" Xiao Xun pointed at the child in surprise.
Xiaoying may not remember, but she remembers very clearly that when she was in the tavern, it was this kid who was thrown out of the tavern by the proprietress and used Xiaoying as a back.
What made Xiao Xun angry was that this guy didn't thank him at all when he left, but looked like he should be his back.
After seeing his favorite food, he immediately reached out and picked up the chopsticks and prepared a full meal, but before his chopsticks were stretched out, he was caught by another pair of chopsticks.
Looking at Xiao Xun who was blocking him, the child scolded rudely: "Little goblin, let go of my chopsticks." ”
"Leprechauns? You dare to call me a goblin! ”
Completely enraged by the child, Xiao Xun's fingers added a few more strength to the chopsticks, and the child's chopsticks were pinched off by her like that.
The sound of chopsticks breaking brought Xiaoying back to her senses, and before her brain could digest everything just now, her body instinctively appeared between the child and Xiao Xun.
Waving his hand helplessly, Xiaoying smiled and persuaded: "Take a step back, the sea and the sky are wide." ”
"You and the little ghost, this is my home, this table is my food, you robbed me of my food, and even prevented me from eating, you are villains." The child sniffed aggrievedly.
He may not want to fight with others, but his words do have the potential to kill people without paying for their lives.
Reaching out and flicking his forehead heavily, Xiaoying scolded angrily: "You are the little ghost." ”
The chubby hand rubbed the aching forehead, and the child made a face at Xiaoying, taking the opportunity of Xiaoying to block Xiaoxun's sight, he had quickly collected a lot of food.
Worried that he wouldn't be able to finish eating, Xiaoying reminded with concern: "Don't eat it." ”
When the child heard this, he snorted coldly, and the next moment he began to use it, chewing the food with a more rude movement than Xiao Xun's before.
With a slight headache, he put his hand on his forehead, and the coldness on the back of his hand finally made Xiaoying feel a lot more comfortable, and did not stop the child's movements, she could see that he was different from Xiao Xun, Xiao Xun just wanted to eat more delicious things, and he was more like he was really hungry.
After retrieving some memories of his life, Xiaoying naturally knows how hungry people will behave when they see the food.
After waving her hand at Xiao Xun to make sure that she would not bother with the child anymore, Xiao Ying returned to her original seat.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for the child to eat quietly, Xiao Xun asked boredly: "You said this is your home, could it be that you are also surnamed Yao?" ”
"Your surname is Yao." The child chewed on his food and retorted dryly.
With a pouting mouth, Xiao Xun said unwillingly: "Isn't that old man's surname Yao?" Could it be that he has nothing to do with you. ”
"Grandpa never told people his last name, how did you know?" The child curiously looked at Xiao Xun through the soup bowl.
"Guess." Xiao Xun answered honestly.
If it was Xiaoying to answer, she would definitely say the same, after all, the old man did not clearly say what his surname was, and the only thing that could be used for them to imagine was the story that the old man told in the carriage.
The child closed his eyes and turned his head to continue fighting for food, obviously, he didn't believe Xiao Xun's words.
