Chapter 20: The Best Time to Show Your Face
Meow!!
The orange cat in his arms bared his teeth at it, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
I was shocked, and I didn't dare to stay for a long time, and said, "Seventeen, I still have important things to do today, so let's go first." ”
With that, I turned around and was about to leave.
But before he had taken two steps, he heard a low voice of grievance and desolation behind him.
"Auntie......"
Well?
I looked back.
"Auntie, but you hate Seventeen?"
I have always been face control, especially partial to beauties, looking at the demonic face that captivates the country and the city, how can I hate it, but the orange cat in my arms squinted slightly at this time, as if I said a wrong word, he could jump up and scratch my face.
"Seventeen, you're too careful, I really have something urgent to do. I took two steps back and tried to leave.
Seventeen was teary-eyed, and hurriedly asked, "Auntie, will you come to see Seventeen again?"
The distance between left and right is only a few dozen steps, how can it be like life and death?
I smiled and nodded, "I'll come when I'm free." ”
At this time, Seventeen smiled with tears in his eyes.
I carried the water cat all the way to the door of the Light House, and I heard its dull humming voice.
I vaguely remember that a while ago, the orange cat went to the Lethe River from time to time to look for something, and now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's related to Seventeen.
But what is Ye Dingxi's search for Seventeen?
There is no catnip at the moment, I can't let the orange cat speak, so I can only comfort me for the time being: "Xiao Hei sent a message, Chen Hui seems to be in big trouble, let's discuss countermeasures with Hu Ran first, okay?"
Meow......
The orange cat snorted, not knowing whether to agree or complain.
I rubbed its little head and walked into the gate of the Light House.
At night, the wind gusts, and the southwest wind blows over the mirror-like Lechuan River, stirring up ripples again and again.
In the small courtyard.
I pinched a leaf of catnip and placed it in front of the orange cat.
"Eat, I have something to ask you. ”
Seventeen, I was very curious.
Meow!
The orange cat turned her head and took two steps back in displeasure, as if she didn't want to communicate with me.
I frowned, and said incomprehensibly, "What's the trouble? Didn't you find out that I had fish outside, and I was really jealous?"
Meow Meow !!
The orange cat glared at me.
The meaning of rebuttal came to my face, and I nodded again: "It seems that I have fish outside, and you don't pay attention to it." ”
“......”
Compared with the two, I actually prefer Ye Dingxi's awkwardness in my heart because of me.
The real devil was stunned.
I pursed my lips as if laughing at myself, and deliberately teased: "It's okay, it's okay if you don't want to tell me, anyway, I think that although the boy Seventeen was born with a demonic spirit, he is a good boy with a simple mind, so he simply found a fish tank from the old Hades another day and brought it back to raise, isn't it interesting?"
Meow!!!
The orange cat pounced, a pair of fat paws scratching at my chest.
In the blink of an eye, the days of the little half-moon were like a swaying crescent boat, swinging above the nine heavens.
These days, I am a father and a mother, and I am so good at eating and drinking that I coax Ye Dingxi, so I taught him not to be angry with me anymore, but why did he chase and kill Seventeen, but he never revealed half a word.
Thinking back to the plan discussed with Hu Ran that day, I only feel that I have been too busy recently, and I am not as comfortable as I was in previous years day after day.
"Ye Dingxi, I estimate that the time is almost up, and it is the best time to go to the old Hades to show his face at this time. ”
Meow......
It lay lazily at my feet, and as if it didn't refuse, I picked it up and went all the way to the Yama Hall.
A moment later.
Without the assistance of Lao Cui, the No. 1 model worker in the sky, Lao Yan Junru's eyes were black, and he was so busy that it was dark.
When I swaggered into the main hall with the cat, I saw a group of prison officials and ghosts, wah-la-wow-la-la, reporting various incurable diseases, and dozens of newly collected ghosts waiting to be adjudicated.
On the throne, the old king of Hades frowned, taking care of one and losing the other, and the efficiency was extremely low.
When chatting with him in the past, I always heard the old man mention his ultimate dream after retirement:
Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming.
I heard that this is a famous phrase in the world, which specifically describes the living environment of the wealthy.
I thought about it for a while, and vaguely felt that the old man might not be very satisfied with Yulu.
My thoughts drifted, and what called me back to my senses was Yan Jun's thunderous voice.
"Dongtian, you can be regarded as showing your face, come on, come on, help me, an old man who is bent over by work!"
Yan Jun had a bitter face and beckoned to me through a mountain of official documents.
I was in a trance, and I only felt that the old man had been tortured so pitifully in recent days, and it seemed that there was no old Cui sitting in the underworld, and he was sad with me.
I have also done the work of helping Yan Jun for a while, and I am familiar with it, and after about two or three hours, the main hall is finally empty.
"Old man, how should you reward me if I saved you from dire straits today?"
There were no ghosts around, so Yan Jun and I were a little casual.
The old Hades touched his chin like several terraces, and smiled perfunctorily at me.
"Recently, Zhang Luo Zhongyuan temple fair, financial constraints, nervous ......"
I pulled down my face, poked the soft fat flesh on his cheeks, and said, "Old Cui is not here, can the celebration of the Midyear Festival be done properly?"
"Hey, the things are almost done, but the ghosts are not enough......"
"Oh?"
The corners of my lips twitched, and a smile appeared unexpectedly.
"Lao Cui specially told me before leaving, there are many affairs in the Midyear Festival, and if I have time, I will give you a hand. ”
"Are you free, then?" asked the old man, hurryingly.
I was embarrassed, and after thinking for a moment, I reluctantly nodded: "Yes." ”
Yan Jun smiled and squinted, unfolded a long white roll, shook his head and said, "There is still a barbecue ...... left in this food area."
"No, although I have both ability and political integrity, I am not good at cooking. ”
"There was not a single dancer in the procession. ”
"I have arthritis. ”
"This ......"
The old man's eyebrows squeezed, he glanced at the list of long scrolls, and said after a while: "The Hundred Ghost Lottery is still missing a guard." ”
"That's it. ”
This part-time job was successfully won, and I was in a good mood, and I was about to find an excuse to leave, but I suddenly heard the old king of Hades say very sadly:
"Eastward girl, what do you think of Lao Cui?"
Belch?
I raised my eyebrows at the old man's glittering gossip-eyed eyes, wary.
"Nature is good. ”
"Oh, where's the matter?"
"Uh......"
I touched my chin and thought about it carefully before I said: "Difu is super strong and thick-legged, a small expert in making money, and the No. 1 model worker in Tianzi, and he is a model for 100,000 ghosts." ”
Hum.
Lao Cui had only been on his front foot for a month, and Yan Jun wanted to trick me into saying bad things about him.
When he comes back from a business trip, I will be sold by this old man again, will I still have good fruit to eat?
I'm not stupid.
On the side, the old king of Hades didn't know what to come up with, and he was so pleased that he said, "Good thing, good thing." ”
