Chapter 19: Listen to me
The haunting had been on the Jiangcheng Morning Post half a month ago.
The surveillance on the road was far more terrifying than the one Xu Qing saw last time, a black shadow flashed like a ghost, and from time to time it shrank into a ball or floated to the wall, attracting attention.
There are fewer people hanging out at night, and the police come to patrol at night.
For the sake of insurance, Xu Qing didn't take Jiang He out for nearly half a month, letting her stay at home, and now she has relaxed a little after most of the rumors.
"Evil Worker......
While eating, he took his mobile phone to watch the local news in Jiangcheng, Xu Qing couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Some people say that some animal from the zoo escaped out, and some say that it is a real ghost, and someone bumped into a female ghost with a bloody face and bulging eyes.
Fortunately, in modern civilized society, young people are not very superstitious, saying that it must be some idle guy who pretends to be a ghost and makes a fool of himself, and there are also decent screenshots for annotation and analysis.
In addition, it is freedom, democracy, civilization and harmony...... Copy and swipe the screen in one color.
"You guys here are like this...... Is it the same as going to jail?"
Jiang He opened her mouth in a sullen voice while eating, and after more than a month of observation, she found that Xu Qing squatted at home every day except for going out to buy a meal or going out for a walk in the morning to let off steam, and had nothing to do.
"Of course not, this is called an otaku. Xu Qing pointed his finger at himself, "Zhiai otaku, otaku." ”
"A profession?"
"No, a way of life. ”
"I don't understand. Jiang He shook her head, although she was studying hard, she didn't know where to start.
From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, to the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and then to the current development of the world, although it has been figured out, it is only a broad and general concept, and when it comes to life, she is still a blind person who doesn't understand anything.
"I can choose to go out or stay at home, and it's tiring to go out, so I just lie at home...... is like the landlord Lao Cai, who walks the dog and teases the cat in the house every day. Xu Qing gave an example.
"It's not like. ”
“......”
"I want to go out for a walk. Jiang He spoke.
Staying here like this, she can't learn how to live, and every day is like a pet in captivity - like a winter melon.
"Go out for a walk?" Xu Qing asked rhetorically.
"Hmm. ”
"You mean...... "He knew that this 'walk' wasn't just a walk around.
Jiang He lowered his eyes, and nodded after a moment of silence.
"No kidding, what can you do when you get out?...... Let's not talk about anything else, you can wear food, clothing, shelter and transportation, you can wear without washing or changing, you can walk on two legs, what about living, crawling on the roof of someone else's house to sleep, what about eating? Huh?"
"I ......" Jiang He opened his mouth, but there was no way to refute it.
"Rob or steal?" Xu Qing put down his chopsticks and looked at her.
Of course, he can give Jiang He some money, she herself has learned to eat in restaurants, but she has no means to make a living, and she will always spend it.
At that time, it will be the end of the road, and in addition to sin, you can only hope for a second well-wisher.
"There's no deep mountain forest around here for you to hunt...... Oh, and you can rummage through the trash. ”
Jiang He lowered his head and didn't speak, and there was silence at the dinner table.
After a long time, her body collapsed, and she sighed silently, with a deep sense of powerlessness.
It would be better if Xu Qing had deceived her by saying things like identity and the like, but after more than a month of familiarity, she found that Xu Qing did not have the slightest malice and did not say anything false to deceive her.
Without an identity, it's really hard to move an inch.
Xu Qing looked at her for a long time, shook his head, and said in a slow tone: "Change your living habits, lifestyle, and life cognition...... It's hard, I can understand it. ”
"But you always have to do it slowly, at least you know how to ride the bus and know money now, don't you? ”
"I can't learn anything. Jiang He pursed his lips, a little frustrated.
"No, you've learned a lot. Xu Qing thought for a while and said, "At least...... Now I'm telling you this, you won't draw your sword, give you some money, and you can live outside for a while...... It's so much stronger than when I first came here a month ago. ”
"Take your time, and when the haunting outside is over, I'll take you out for a walk, and some things have to be experienced to understand. ”
"Is it really haunted outside?" Jiang He was surprised.
"The Taoist priest is still jumping there. Xu Qing glanced out of the window angrily, stood up and cleaned up the packing box on the table.
If you want to get acquainted with a completely unfamiliar world, you don't just have to be smart, and many habits have to be changed slowly.
At least she now knows the traffic light, knows how to use the money, and can occasionally win one or two against the landlord......
"When you can make money in the future, you can pay me back, and if you can't afford it, you can ......"
Looking at Jiang He's clear eyes, Xu Qing's joking words were stuck and didn't come out, and he shook his head and said, "It's time to find something for you to do, you wait for me to think about it and see what you can do." ”
Jiang He solemnly clenched his fists: "Thank you Shaoxia!"
"It's called Hero. ”
“......”
......
You can't do serious work, but now is the age of online information.
Xu Qing even eats on the Internet, although he is only doing up, but he also knows a little about the others, but no matter what he does, he needs to study for a long time to be able to support himself only by interest.
Afternoon.
"Let's play this and see if we can learn it. ”
After registering a new account, Xu Qing let her learn to play first, and the daily leveling of online games can be said to be the easiest, as long as you have a hand......
For example, Jian San happens to be still ancient.
If the booster is deceived, it is to cheat some labor, and what is swiping is real money, this is the most real, and it can also help her kill time and interact with people.
Of course, the premise is that she can learn to play - to make money for an ancient person who has just accepted this world and has not yet adapted too much, Xu Qing really can't think of anything simpler.
"Play?" Jiang He instinctively felt that something was wrong, looked at the game screen and thought for a while, and said, "Can't I do what you do......?"
"That's too complicated, you can't learn it. ”
Xu Qing waved his hand, "There are too many things to learn, and you have to read enough films......
Bang la blah.
The sound of the door suddenly opening the door interrupted his words, the two looked at each other, Xu Qing's face changed suddenly, and while motioning to Jiang He for her to go back to the room, she shouted, "Who?"
"Open the door!"
“......”
Hearing this voice, Xu Qing turned his head to Jiang He and urged: "It's my family outside, you ...... Go back to your room and hide. ”
Jiang He didn't know why, got up and went back to the room.
Outsiders can open the door at will, but family members need to hide...... It's kind of weird.
"Wait, I'll open it for you. ”
Seeing that Jiang He had returned to the room, Xu Qing opened the door slowly, "Dad, why are you here?"
"Call me landlord. ”
Xu Wenbin pushed his glasses, raised his foot and walked in to look at the computer screen, and then looked at Xu Qing.
"Haven't found a job yet?"
"Landlord, you still care about my work...... Oops, hey, this is for you, just hand over the money, what kind of job are you looking for, I'm not good?"
Xu Qing turned back to the sofa to get his mobile phone, Xu Wenbin pushed away the winter melon with his fingers with some disgust, "I don't want to find a serious job after graduation, I speculate all day long, and make some crooked things, like what......?
"Shut me up in the cowshed. Xu Qing picked up the conversation weakly, "I'll transfer it to you, you still came here in person just to see if I work? No one is going to work on National Day now...... Oh, you come and look at the utility bills. ”
"Humph!"
Xu Wenbin looked like he hated iron but not steel, and glanced at the computer: "If you can't find a job next month, I will give you a rent increase, and see that you are still nesting at home every day......"
"That's right!"
Xu Qing paused for a moment, looked up and said, "Dad, did you see that Taoist priest when you just came?"
"See, what's wrong?" Xu Wenbin frowned.
"It's haunted, it's unstable, it's in a dilapidated environment...... Your rent has to come down. ”
", you hurry up and ......"
Halfway through his words, Xu Wenbin suddenly stopped speaking, stunned and looked at the balcony, Xu Qing followed his gaze and looked over, Jiang He's clothes were hanging there and fluttering in the wind.
“......”
“......”
The air was suddenly quiet.
"Dad, listen to me......"
Xu Wenbin's face sank: "You still learn to wear this kind of clothes now?!"
???
Xu Qing was stunned.
