Chapter 4 The Lonely Old Man
"Hard, struggle......"
Chen Beibei took the product he was going to sell today, stood in front of a muddy river, learned the lines of Xing Ye, and cheered himself up.
In the past, Chen Beibei was a person, and he only needed to earn enough money for his own expenses when he just graduated.
It's different now, he has to raise not only himself, but also two monsters.
You can't let the kappa and the three-tailed fox eat cold steamed buns all the time, right?
The customers that Chen Beibei visits every day are some elderly people because he sells a kind of elderly health care products.
Chen Beibei knocked on the door of the customer's house, the house was very large, and an old man lived there.
Such customers are the easiest to sell their products.
Chen Beibei showed a smile: "Grandpa, this is a health care product, which is specially for you older people." ”
"Come in."
Chen Beibei entered, and the huge room, where an old man without fire lived, looked a little lifeless.
"Grandpa, eating this health supplement can delay aging and improve memory ......"
"Let's play a game of chess with me first."
The old man took out a pair of chess pieces and set up the chess pieces, and Chen Beibei had no choice but to play chess with him.
Most of these old people are not accompanied by their children, so they are a little lonely, Chen Beibei understands.
"Grandpa, this light is too dim, can you pull the curtains open?"
Chen Beibei found that all the curtains of this house were closed, without a trace of sunlight, and there was a little gloomy appearance.
"Let's turn on the lights."
"Bang", the lights turned on, and the miserable white light scattered in the house, which was even more gloomy.
"I'll give you a car, and if you win me, I'll buy your health supplements."
Chen Beibei nodded, although his chess game was very average, but this was an opportunity to sell the product.
The old man attacked fiercely, and the chain horses crossed the river under the cover of double artillery and slaughtered wildly.
The layout is tight, both offensive and defensive.
"General......
Chen Beibei lost, and at this time, there was a knock at the door.
Chen Beibei was going to open the door, but the person who knocked on the door had already passed through the door and entered the old man's house.
"Can I go now?"
A woman asked softly, her voice strange, without a hint of emotion.
Chen Beibei looked at the source of the voice, a man and a woman, standing quietly at the door.
The man is dressed in black and holds a black scythe in his hand. The woman is dressed in white and holds a spirit flag.
Ghosts make black, and ghosts make white......
Could it be that all the Shikigami have awakened?
"I'll go with you......"
The old man's voice made Chen Beibei retract his thoughts, and the old man walked in front of him with a hint of coolness.
Chen Beibei shuddered: "Who are you?"
"Little Onmyoji, I know too much, it's not good for you."
The ghost envoy looked at Chen Beibei and said coldly.
Then the three "people" passed directly through the door and disappeared in front of Chen Beibei.
……
In the closed house, there was a faint stench, Chen Beibei covered his nose and followed the stench.
An old man dressed in plain clothes, lying quietly on the bed, with a peaceful face, and a mobile phone next to the bed.
Chen Beibei picked up the mobile phone, and a mouse slipped off the old man's bed, and the old man's little thumb had been gnawed to only a piece of white bone.
"Your dad is dead, come home."
This news was sent in groups, the eldest one, the second one, the third one......
There is always something dark in this world, like a little grass on the side of the road, that thrives in the sun.
……
Chen Beibei's mood became very low, and he was no longer in the mood to continue to sell today's products.
Chen Beibei returned to his rental house, and at this time, he just wanted to immerse himself in the Heianjing where people and ghosts coexisted.
"Timo, what are you doing?"
"It's twelve o'clock, of course I'm eating."
"Ah, it's twelve? I forgot to eat. ”
"Silly Moxue, let's eat and eat."
Chen Beibei took out the steamed buns he bought in the morning from his briefcase, the weather is very cold in winter, and the steamed buns are even colder......
After eating two bites casually, the steamed buns were thrown into the trash by Chen Beibei.
It's not a waste, it's really not hungry.
Chen Beibei returned to the rental house and pushed the door open, where the kappa and the three-tailed fox were still lying on his bed.
"Master, you're back......"
"Big brother, are you in a bad mood?"
Chen Beibei didn't speak and lay on the bed.
A month's salary is 3,000 yuan, and the rent is more than 200 yuan, plus water and electricity, 300 yuan.
Three meals a day, three yuan in the morning, takeout at noon and afternoon, and the cheapest one is ten yuan.
Three meals is twenty-three, and seven hundred a month.
Take the bus, drink water, buy clothes, charge phone bills, and be a member of station B.
All for money......
I still have to save a thousand yuan every month, Chen Beibei, if you don't work hard, will you starve the kappa and the three-tailed fox to death?
Chen Beibei's saving money is like a squirrel storing food, which comes from a sense of crisis for the future.
This can't be changed, unless Chen Beibei is not Chen Beibei.
Therefore, now Chen Beibei is short of money......
"Three-tailed fox, can you go out to work?"
Chen Beibei thought so, but he was embarrassed to ask, don't monsters have face?
Still working part-time......
"Big brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Xiaoshui, I'm fine, you can sleep."
"I'm hungry......"
"Where's the finger cake and steamed bun I bought you in the morning?"
"Finished eating......"
No way?
Two finger cakes, four steamed buns, and one morning?
"Three-tailed fox, you eat less next time, I really don't have any money."
The three-tailed fox looked like an adult, and Chen Beibei naturally thought that he had been eaten by her.
"Master, I just ate a finger cake ......"
Chen Beibei looked at the kappa.
"Big brother, I'm sorry, I'll eat less next time......"
Xiao Shui lowered his head, as if he had made a mistake, and whispered.
"In the water, there is nothing to eat, for ten years, I have caught fish to eat, raw, so fishy......"
Kappa went on to explain.
"Xiaoshui, you can eat as much as you want, I have money."
Chen Beibei touched the kappa's head, and he decided not to save the money.
Well, Chen Beibei is no longer Chen Beibei.
There are some habits that should be changed, after all, he is no longer a person now.
"Let's go, whatever you want to eat, I'll take you to eat."
In the past few months, Chen Beibei has saved 3,000 yuan, and now he is taking it out.
Chen Beibei suddenly felt that he was a rich man.
"Big brother, we don't know what is delicious in your human world."
Xiao Shui looked at Chen Beibei and said with a frown.
"I want to eat chicken ......"
The three-tailed fox is a fox, and when he eats the finger cake in the morning, he only eats the eggs and ham inside, and he is already hungry.
Now when he heard Chen Beibei say that he wanted to invite them to dinner, he immediately said what he wanted to eat.
"Okay, Three-Tailed Fox, you turn into a human form, and I'll take you out with you."
“……”
"Master, do you think you can look at my body if you invite me to a meal?"
“……”
Chen Beibei realized at this time that the clothes of the three-tailed fox were still on the ground, and now it was in the form of a fox, if it changed into a human form......
