Chapter 8: The Little Green Snake

"Sister."

The little boy's immature voice brought Shen Qingjiu back to reality, and the huge green dragon phantom that he had just seen had disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

Shen Qingjiu still looked up until she couldn't find any trace of the green dragon, then she fell on the little boy, and said to him with a smile: "Little brother, this snake of yours doesn't eat mice, my sister gives you something else, you take it and feed him, okay?" ”

The little boy looked at her suspiciously, then nodded lightly, and said, "Mom said the same thing, but I read the news that snakes eat mice, and this green snake was locked in a cage by the boss, and if I don't rescue him, he will be eaten." ”

"Eat...... Eat? ”

Shen Qingjiu's eyes widened in surprise.

The little boy nodded and said, "If you eat it, you will die, and my father will also die, he can no longer hold my hand, he can no longer play football with me, watch cartoons, sister, why do you say people die, I heard that monsters do not die, others say that there are monsters at night in Taijilou, sister, have you ever seen monsters, are they very scary, and, are they really not going to die?" ”

No wonder that woman's face was always full of sadness, it turned out that they had suffered such a great change, the wife lost her husband, the child lost her father, and how difficult their life should be.

Shen Qingjiu took out a big colorful lollipop from the basket, handed it to the little boy, and said: "Whether it is a human or a demon, life is limited, but the life of a demon is longer than the life of a human, I think even if your father is not by your side, he will accompany you in another way, protect you, just like this little green snake, he met you, you saved him, this is your fate, this lollipop is given to you, I hope your life can be more sweet, Be a little more happy. ”

The little boy took the lollipop in his hand, tilted his head and winked at Shen Qingjiu's overly big eyes, and said, "Mom said, I can't raise snakes, we are going to a far, far away place, we are going to live in another place, and that place is not suitable for raising a snake, so I have to find him a new home before I leave this city." ”

To find a new home for a snake, people who like to keep snakes should not have so many ...... Shen Qingjiu's mind suddenly flashed the picture he had just seen, when the snake's golden eyes were looking at him, a cyan dragon shadow appeared, this little green snake should not be the descendant of the green dragon, find two heirs in one day, according to this efficiency, collect the strange beasts of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, just around the corner.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingjiu squinted his eyes and smiled, and said, "Little brother, do you really want to find someone who can take care of this little snake?" ”

The little boy nodded seriously and said, "Yes, sister, can you help me find it?" ”

Shen Qingjiu endured the fear in his heart, glanced at the little green snake again, took a deep breath, raised his hand and patted his chest, and volunteered: "Do you think I can do it?" ”

The little boy looked Shen Qingjiu up and down, his brows furrowed tightly, and after a while, he said: "But, sister, aren't you afraid, I think you seem to be very afraid of him, although he is really cute and gentle." ”

Fear? That's naturally scary, but it's really to be raised.

Shen Qingjiu thought for a while and said, "I can slowly overcome it, take a closer look, this little green snake of yours is also quite cute, isn't it, you look at his eyes, they are golden, like clouds in the sunset, they are rose gold, and they are very beautiful." ”

The little green snake also shook his head very cooperatively, and those golden eyes reflected Shen Qingjiu's face, looking at those eyes as if he had entered another world.

After discovering this, Shen Qingjiu quickly looked away and stabilized his mind.

The little boy seemed to hesitate and did not immediately make his decision.

And at this time, the woman stood at the entrance of the corridor, beckoned to the little boy, and said, "It's not early, it's time to take a shower and sleep, there is still a long way to go tomorrow." ”

The little boy stood on tiptoe, reached out and took down the glass box, holding it in his arms, like a treasure, his big eyes looked at Shen Qingjiu, and said, "Sister, thank you, I am very happy that you are willing to raise him, but I have to think about it, and I will give you an answer tomorrow morning, is it okay?" ”

It seems that he really likes this little green snake, so many people walk on the street every day, but he saw this little green snake, and he saved this little green snake, there must be some kind of bond between them.

Shen Qingjiu nodded lightly and said, "Of course, I wish you a good dream." ”

The little boy looked very happy, and he said goodbye to Shen Qingjiu: "Sister also has a good dream, I hope I can dream of Dad, Mom said, Dad will appear in my dream." ”

He carefully held the glass box, took small steps, and walked back to his mother's side, the woman smiled at Shen Qingjiu, and Shen Qingjiu smiled at her, and then, the woman took her child back to the room, the room called "Qingming".

After Shen Qingjiu heard the sound of the door closing, he sat down in his place again, the little boy's experience made her think of herself, she didn't live in the demon city, ten years ago she was just an ordinary little girl, living with her parents in a city without demons, originally, she could grow up happily, but a sudden accident took the life of her parents, and the six-year-old Shen Qingjiu became an orphan.

When she was lonely and was about to be sent to the orphanage, her grandmother appeared, it was a kind old man, a pair of eyes full of tenderness, she took Shen Qingjiu's hand with her warm hands, and took her to the demon city, and from then on, she lived in the Taiji Building and became the heir of the Shen family.

Shen Qingjiu flipped his wrist, looked at the beads in his hand, and remembered what his grandmother said to her when she handed over the beads: "Xiaojiu, this is left by the ancestors, you wear it on your hand, it can protect you, just like your parents are still by your side." ”

However, Mom and Dad will never come back, in the years in Taijilou, Shen Qingjiu has been cared for by everyone, she can continue to go to school, she can also learn the skills of the Shen family, and familiarize herself with the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but there is one thing that grandma has never told her, that is, why did her parents leave the demon city in the first place, and leave this city where shemales coexist.

"Demon City"

Shen Qingjiu silently read the name of this special city, a city where demons can coexist with people, demons with different abilities from ordinary people, but they want to live like people, and seemingly weak people can create powerful weapons, and they can also create electricity that demons can't conjure, what a beautiful and wonderful thing.

"Hmm-"

When she thought of electricity, she suddenly smelled a burning smell, and that smell was wafting down from upstairs, Shen Qingjiu looked up, jumped up in fright, picked up the fire extinguisher, and rushed upstairs, kicked open the door of Bai Ruyu's room, and shouted: "Bai Ruyu, lie down!" ”

After saying that, she pulled out the safety bolt of the fire extinguisher and rushed inside.

"What's going on?"

It's the voice of Shao Siyu.

In less than a minute, a whole tank of fire extinguishers had been used up, and there was no smoke in the room, only to see a piece of white dry powder, Bai Ruyu crawled out of the room, all embarrassed, his hair was full of white powder, he raised his head miserably, and just saw Shao Siyu, and the tears flowed down at once, crying and chirping: "Shao Siyu, there are monsters, I can't beat him." ”

Where are there any monsters, there are no monster hunters who dare to cause trouble in Taiji Tower, and there are even fewer monsters who dare to cause trouble in Taiji Tower.

Shao Siyu raised his hand and waved, and the white powder that fell on Bai Ruyu's body disappeared, along with the white smoke in her room, and the appearance of the room that was revealed was shocking, shocked, and couldn't cry or laugh.

Shen Qingjiu looked at the smoked black and dirty room with wide eyes, and asked in surprise, "Bai Ruyu, what did you do?" ”

Bai Ruyu took Shao Siyu's hand, got up and stood up, stretched out her hand to rub her messy hair, and said aggrievedly: "I wanted to get up and go to the thatched house, but it was too dark, so I lit a fire, and it burned to the quilt, and then I ......."

And then it was all over the house.

Shen Qingjiu "bang", put the fire extinguisher in his hand on the ground, widened his eyes, and said, "Didn't I tell you, can you turn on the lights, why do you want to start a fire, Taiji Tower can't catch fire at night." ”

Bai Ruyu flattened her mouth, tears flowed down again, and said with a crying voice: "You only said to turn on the light, but didn't say how to turn on the light, and besides, the light is so scary, it turns on all of a sudden, shaking your eyes." ”

"Shaking your eyes?!"

Shen Qingjiu didn't have anything to do with her, walked over, raised his hand and pressed the switch twice, and after the light flashed twice, it turned into a warm yellow, with a slightly hazy feeling, not dazzling at all, and it was very warm, but with this dark room, the warm atmosphere was all gone.

Bai Ruyu lowered her head and whispered, "I don't know." ”

Shen Qingjiu felt that it was really necessary to teach Bai Ruyu and Shao Siyu the understanding and use of modern equipment, otherwise, sooner or later, this Taiji Building would be burned by a fire.

This room, tonight is no longer able to live in people, the downstairs guest room is for the guests, and the empty room is for non-people, the empty room upstairs is actually very limited, in desperation, Shen Qingjiu can only arrange Bai Ruyu in his own room first, let her temporarily live with him for one night, and wait for her to clean her room tomorrow, and then let her live back.
