It is inconvenient to go out to be a magician with a child. It may arouse others' suspicion. Moreover, Tang Xing sometimes cannot take care of his son in special circumstances, so when he goes out to pick up jobs, he usually makes Tang Xichen become The truth follows you.
After grabbing a few things, Tang Xing took the kid in his arms and rode the electric donkey out again. More than 20 minutes later, they arrived at No. 35 Wutong Lane. Mrs. Zhou was looking at the door. When she saw him, she hurriedly said: "Xiao Tang, you're here. Come in quickly. Zhuang Zhuang is scared." Tang Xing raised his long legs
. , got off the eDonkey, "It's okay, you don't have to be afraid when I'm here."
Mrs. Zhou looked behind him and asked, "Where is your son?"
Tang Xing said, "A friend will help watch."
As a Monsters, Tang Xing and humans have never interacted in depth, but on the surface they seem to have a wide circle of friends and have many friends. No one will doubt the previous sentence, nor will they deliberately seek confirmation from others.
Then Tang Xing and Mrs. Zhou entered the house together. It wasn't dark yet, and every room in this old-fashioned house had lights on. The TV was on in the living room, and a movie called "Little Sheep Mea" was playing. cartoon. A little boy of five or six years old huddled on the sofa in fear, with a bright red blanket wrapped around his body. There were two tears in his eyes. It looked like he had cried just now.
An old man was looking back and forth with a mirror in his hand, muttering something in his mouth: "The heavens are moving, the earth is moving, the Supreme Lord will soon appear. He is not afraid of monsters and monsters, and will make them reveal their true colors."
Tang Xing almost spat out.
Old Mrs. Zhou said: "Old man, Tang Banxian is here."
Tang Xing put on a serious professional expression and said hello: "Hello, Uncle Zhou."
Old man Zhou glanced at him and didn't pick on him, just He asked Mrs. Zhou suspiciously: "Can this young man do it? In my opinion, it is better to go to Xuanmiao Temple and invite an old Taoist priest."
Tang Xing said: "Uncle Zhou, I can do it. Xuanmiao Temple is in the deep mountains and old forests. Go there. There are dozens of miles of mountain roads. If you set out now, you will have to at least invite the old Taoist master tomorrow, but I can help you solve your problems tonight." Old man Zhou snorted, "You are not old, but your tone is not
young, then Just untie one and take a look."
Tang Xing did not act immediately, but showed a harmless smile like a willow in the spring breeze to the little boy who looked at him timidly: "Zhuang Zhuang, hello, do you like to see it? "Little Sheep", right? My son Zai Zai likes it too."
Zhuang Zhuang stared at him for a while, seemed to be bewitched by his smile, and nodded involuntarily.
The old couple of the Zhou family looked at each other and couldn't believe it. The grandson was a bit introverted. After being frightened last night, he didn't dare to go out all day. They didn't expect that Tang Xing could coax him easily.
Tang Xing was not surprised. After being a father for several years, he had a deep understanding of how to coax children. Little people like Zaizai could handle it, and ordinary children like Zhuangzhuang were certainly not a problem.
At this time, a group of lambs in the cartoon sang a cheerful theme song, and Tang Xing's hood moved, revealing a small snow-white head with a pair of round fur ears and Big black eyes.
Zhuangzhuang saw it immediately, opened his eyes and asked, "What is that? A kitten?"
Tang Xing simply took the little cub out of the hat, "No, it's a little ferret, do you want to play with him?" "
Zhuang Zhuang saw the ferret for the first time and felt it was very novel. He nodded vigorously this time and said, "I think so."
Tang Xing put Tang Xichen on the sofa, "Then you can play with him for a while, but be careful not to hit him. He can't scratch his fur too hard, otherwise he will get angry and ignore you."
"No, uncle, I will be gentle!" Zhuang Zhuang assured immediately, then stretched out his hand and carefully touched Xiaoxue. Mink head.
The little ferret shook its ears reluctantly, but did not move away.
Zhuang Zhuang's palms were tickled by the down of the little ferret, and he couldn't help but laugh, "The little ferret is so cute." "Yes."
Tang Xing also smiled, "Zhuang Zhuang, tell your uncle, you What did the monster you saw the night before yesterday look like?"
Zhuangzhuang was still a little scared, but he was much better than before. He used his hands to describe it to him roughly: "It has a sharp mouth and claws, and a long tail. It's so big. One flew from the sky at once."
"I know, don't worry, uncle will catch it. You can play with the little ferret."
"Okay!"
Tang Xing carried it like a master. He walked around with his hands and looked around all the rooms, but found nothing unusual. There was a window on the north wall of the toilet, facing the backyard, so he stepped out.
The yard is not big, and we don’t raise chickens or ducks. We only grow some onions, garlic, cabbage and other side vegetables, which are growing well.
Tang Xing moved his nose and sniffed, then took two steps forward. He looked down and saw a small piece of black and white feather hanging on a cabbage leaf. He picked it up and took a look. Then he went to the bottom of the courtyard wall. After observing for a while, he raised his hand and picked up a strand of yellow animal hair from a protruding stone on the top of the wall, brought it up to his nose and smelled it.
Bah, it stinks, it is really a monster. It probably passed by the window the night before yesterday. When Zhuangzhuang got up for the night, he happened to see it vaguely and was frightened.
Tang Xing threw away the handful of yellow hair, took off in a running jump, and climbed onto the wall, looking around for a while in the dusk.
Mrs. Zhou had been paying attention to Tang Xing's every move in the room, and she felt calm after seeing this. This young Tang Banxian could also fly over walls and walls, so he seemed to be quite capable.
Tang Xing jumped off the wall and returned to the house, asking: "Aunt Zhou, on the day Zhuang Zhuang saw the dirty things, did any of your neighbors lose poultry or pet birds?" Mrs. Zhou said in surprise
: "How do you know? The old man Liu who lives at No. 31 scolded him for a long time the morning before yesterday, saying that he had just bought a woodpecker for 150 yuan and kept it in a cage on the window sill outside. It disappeared early in the morning. I don't know. It was stolen by some evil spirit."
Tang Xing asked doubtfully: "Woodpecker? That's not a pet bird, I've never seen anyone keep it."
Old Mrs. Zhou: "Isn't it? They say it's wild, Old Liutou Just a fresh picture. I have seen that woodpecker. It is quite clever, especially the mouth. Everyone said that it was probably not stolen, but that the bird opened the lock of the cage and flew away. Old Liu Tou also You can only admit that you are unlucky."
Tang Xing pondered for a moment, "Where did Old Liu Tou buy the woodpecker?"
Old man Zhou replied: "It's at Xiangyun Market. Isn't that the only place in town where flowers, birds, insects and fish are sold?"
Xiangyun Market Tang Xing knew that in the south of Baiyun Town, there was the largest market in the town, which sold all kinds of things. "Other than Old Liu Tou, has anyone else's birds been stolen recently?" Old Man
Zhou : "I've never heard of it, why are you asking about this?"
Tang Xing pretended to be mysterious and said: "Of course I have my reasons. Uncle Zhou, please go to Xiangyun Market to buy a wild bird now. It doesn't have to be a woodpecker, other species It's okay."
Old man Zhou was confused. "Wild birds are more expensive than ordinary pet birds. I'm not an old man. I'm not interested in these things. What's the use of buying them?" "It's useful. You don't want it
. Shall I get rid of the unclean things as soon as possible? Once you buy them, I will have a solution. Can I put the money for you to buy the birds first?" Tang Xing said as he took out a pink banknote from his pocket and handed it over. .
Old man Zhou was a little hesitant, "Do I have to buy it? You are young and nimble, can't you go faster than me?"
Tang Xing said sincerely: "You have to buy it in person, sincerity will work." "
That's OK, I will Go." Old man Zhou took the money and rode a bicycle out.
Children are easily distracted. Zhuangzhuang was very happy with the little ferret. He had forgotten about the monsters and even took out his snacks to share with the little ferret.
Those snacks were sold in his own canteen, but Tang Xichen had long been tired of eating them and didn't even bother to take a look. Zhuangzhuang carried out another bunch of toys. Tang Xichen looked at them one by one and jumped into the compartment of the electric pickup truck. Zhuangzhuang immediately picked up the remote control in cooperation. The remote-controlled pickup truck ran around in the living room, and the two little guys played with it. She was so happy that she even made Mrs. Zhou laugh.
Half an hour later, when it got dark, Old Man Zhou came back with a cage containing a small and exquisite blue-green kingfisher. "There is only one store selling wild birds in Xiangyun Market. It just opened a month ago. This one The total of the bird and cage is exactly one hundred yuan."
Tang Xing praised: "Not bad, not bad, very beautiful. Did any neighbors see you on the way back just now?" Old man Zhou
said angrily: "Yes, everyone asked me Why are you playing with birds? Are you too busy? Old Liu Tou also said that I deliberately angered him. Can I do it? I just said that I bought it to relieve Zhuang Zhuang's boredom." Tang Xing agreed: "Yes, I am too free
. They are the ones who are panicking."
This was the effect he wanted. Now everyone in the street, as well as the demons, should know that the Zhou family bought a kingfisher.
Zhuang Zhuang and Xia Zai were very interested in the kingfisher, and they went to the cage to watch it in curiosity.
Zaizai even wanted to stretch out his claws to catch the kingfisher, but Tang Xing quickly stopped him: "Don't move, this bird is still useful, don't kill it." The
little ferret retracted its claws obediently.
Old lady Zhou was amazed: "Oh, this little guy is quite smart. He can actually understand people's words." "
Of course, my son, follow me." Tang Xing said proudly, looking at the old lady's exposed face. With a surprised expression, he quickly patched it up, "I mean, the pets I keep are just like my son."
