Home/ Devil / Chapter 64

Ah Jin actually left a bag of gold bars for them!

This bag was discovered by Ji Huan when he was tidying up Ah Jin’s room. It was prominently placed on Ah Jin’s bed along with a note.

He doesn’t know if Ah Jin did it intentionally, but the note was completely written in the local language. In order to understand the note, Ji Huan even looked through the dictionary for the whole night. Only then did he understand that the note roughly means “these gold bars are for you to spend”.

Ji Huan:”…”

It is indeed Ah Jin’s style.

However——

Even if Ah Jin is so generous, he can’t take the other party’s generosity for granted. Unconsciously, he has been completely dependent on Ah Jin and has been helped too much by the other party since he came here, and Ah Jin had always considered everything including taking care of their daily stuff.

This is not good.

After thinking about it for a while, Ji Huan only took out five gold bars from the bag, leaving the rest as it is, and placed the bag under the pillow instead of the bed in Ah Jin’s room.

He couldn’t completely refuse Ah Jin’s generosity, because Grandpa’s body still hadn’t fully recovered and they couldn’t just starve themselves, so he needed money. Before he found a way to earn money, he could only temporarily use the money left by Ah Jin.

He will just treat it as a loan. Ji Huan made up his mind that after he starts earning money, he must find a way to pay it back.

Besides——

Ji Huan glanced at the gold bars in his hand which were engraved with the words “XX Bank” on the surface, these were more than just money to him. The things he brought from his hometown were disappearing day by day. The gold bars he bought have also become souvenirs with the memories of his hometown, and he is reluctant to spend them.

“Hei Dan, look, these two words mean bank.” Hei Dan’s white ring eyes stared straight at the gold bars, thinking that he was interested in this, Ji Huan let him touch the gold bars in his hand, he pointed to the words on it, and read the words engraved on the gold bar to him.

Of course Hei Dan didn’t understand anything at all.

However, his little paw touched the gold bar very seriously.

Ji Huan thought that he probably remembered the gold bracelet from before.

The gold bracelet with Hei Dan’s name on it was never recovered, but thinking about it now, no matter where the bracelet is now, it can be regarded as evidence that Hei Dan once lived there.

After wiping the floor of the room, making the bed, and finally confirming that all the windows are closed, Ji Huan locked the door of Ah Jin’s bedroom tightly.

Sitting at the dining table again, Ji Huan was already thinking about how to make money in the future.

They certainly need to grow and order vegetables at home. It will be fine to not eat vegetables for a day or two. Although he brought a large bottle of multivitamin tablets, the supplements will get exhausted in a while. In this place where vegetables are extremely scarce, self-reliance is necessary. Fortunately, there is a well in this house left by Ah Jin. He knows that the water resources are very precious here, but in order to survive, the necessary water must be used.

But farming alone is not enough. Ji Huan’s farming is only to grow vegetables for his own family, which is not profitable at all. However, if they don’t make money, they will just have to sit and eat. Even if they buy the cheapest ‘bones’ everyday, sooner or later, the family’s money will be spent.

He need to find a job.

However, he can’t even understand clearly what other people say, and can’t even recognize all the words. How can he find a job in this situation? Ji Huan, who has rich working experience from a young age, knows that this will not work.

He fell into deep thought.

“Xiao Hua, are you worrying about buying meat?” Just as Ji Huan was thinking about it, Grandpa suddenly said, “Actually, it’s so expensive to buy it outside. We can simply just catch the prey and eat it ourselves, right?”

He raised his head abruptly, and stared at his Grandpa with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

“Xiao Hua, why are you looking at your grandpa like this? It’s weird, so weird…” Grandpa was startled by his reaction.

Ji Huan suddenly stood up.

He has lived in the original world for so long, and his living habits have been completely rooted in his bones. Even though he grew up in a remote town, Ji Huan has always gone to the market to buy meat. Although he also grew vegetables at home, if he want to eat more varieties, he has to buy them at the vegetable market. He has been used to this for so long that he has forgot about the practice of “hunting and eating by himself”!

Hunted prey can be sold for money + object of work is the prey, no need to talk to people + no need to spend money to buy meat.

Only then did Ji Huan realize what a good idea this is!

“You’re right! Grandpa, I will do as you say!” Ji Huan made a final decision as he looked at the old man wearing presbyopic glasses across him.

Ji Huan originally planned to explore the way by himself first, but this time Grandpa didn’t listen to him. After all, this is the world of demons, and thinking of his identity, Ji Huan finally decided to go with Grandpa.

Ji Huan, who has been cooking monster meat for almost a month, already has a general understanding of the types of monsters that can be hunted. He knows where the wounds on these monsters are most concentrated: that should be the weak parts of that monster’s body. But they don’t need these at the moment. The first goal that Ji Huan set for himself and Grandpa is to look for the monster named “Bone”.

And he just did as he thought, on the same day, Ji Huan decided to go hunting with Grandpa.

However, before hunting, they still need to find out where to look for the monster named “bone”.

He heard Ah Jin say it once before, so Ji Huan knew that the monsters in the market were all hunted from the outskirts of the neighborhood, especially the large monsters like Kombeast, which lived in the wild far away from the crowd. If it’s dangerous, Ji Huan won’t consider it at all. After all grandpa is old and is a native earth demon, and this place is very new to him, not to mention he is also presbyopic. Ji Huan is completely hopeless about his grandpa’s hunting ability.

On the contrary, it is the ‘bones’ monster. Ji Huan vaguely remembers Ah Jin saying that they live in the garbage mountain on the outskirts of the block. Although they are on the outskirts, they have not been in the wild yet. Ji Huan thought that this can be a challenge.

When they went there, they passed the garbage mountain, but they had been driving for a long time, and now Ji Huan can’t remember the way at all. He already knew that getting lost here is very dangerous, now even going to the garbage mountain to hunt has become a challenge.

But Ji Huan quickly came up with an idea: he decided to go directly to the market and find Xiao Hui (little gray demon).

Having been here for so long, the demon that he is most familiar with is that little devil who doesn’t like to talk.

Because he went out after seeing Ah Jin off, when Ji Huan arrived at the market today, the market was almost over.

In fact, everyone has already started to pack up, the roof of the houses have been put away, and the stall owners with fixed stalls on both sides of the alley are closing up, while the temporary stall owners are returning with their unsold prey. Among the demons, Ji Huan saw the little grey devil walking out with a “bone”.

He is still wearing the tattered gray cloak, and looked so short among the tall demons around him.

Ji Huan stopped him.

Perhaps thinking that Ji Huan came to buy the prey, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He lifted the “bone” in his hand, and raised it high.

He was only as tall as Ji Huan’s calf.

“Today, I am not here to buy the prey.” Ji Huan refused it in an unskilled local dialect. If it were someone else, they would probably still buy this ‘bone’, since it’s not worth much anyway, but Ji Huan didn’t.

He is determined to start hunting from today, so he directly rejected the little gray devil.

“I’m running out of money.” Ji Huan immediately explained the reason. Afraid that he wouldn’t understand, he spoke very slowly.

But the little gray devil obviously understood.

He actually nodded very clearly.

He doesn’t know why, but Ji Huan always felt that the nod of the little devil’s head is full of emotions.

Immediately afterwards, the little devil made an unexpected move: he looked at the “bone” in his hand, and in the next second, he quickly skinned and ate it!

Peeled the skin with bare hands! Ate it raw!

He ate very quickly, and before long, all the “bone” went into his stomach, and only a few were spit out from his mouth, and he was ready to continue on his way without even wiping his mouth.

Ji Huan quickly stopped him again.

“Well, I have a question that I want to ask you.”

The little gray devil stopped.

“I want to know, ‘Bone’, where do you hunt it?”

Ji Huan asked this question bluntly. He didn’t think much about it, because Ah Jin told him that there were a lot of such monsters out here, so he didn’t think about the issue of competition in the same area at all.

Fortunately, he asked the right person.

“Follow me.” The little gray devil directly asked him to follow.

The little devil walked away immediately, and Ji Huan hurriedly followed.

They both are people who don’t talk much, not to mention that Ji Huan can’t speak even if he wants to. They walked side by side, and no one spoke.

The path that the little gray devil usually takes is obviously different from the path that Ji Huan and the others took. The route he chose was narrow and remote, and Ji Huan hardly saw other demons along the way, but this path has an obvious advantage: that is light radiation is much lighter than on the road.

The cloak Ah Jin brought for him was of good quality, and Ji Huan only felt a little hot through the thick cloak.

Wrapping the cloak a little tighter, Ji Huan carefully memorized the road map in his heart.

There is only one section of the road that is considered a main road, which is completely different from the previous section and there are many demons gathered together on that road.

“Here, is this another market?” After organizing his words, Ji Huan lowered his head and asked the little gray devil beside him.

“Yes.” He nodded.

“Then, why don’t you come here?” This place is obviously closer than the previous market.

“Not qualified.” The little devil’s immature voice did not have any emotional up and downs, but Ji Huan noticed that when he said this, the little devil paused, as if looking in that direction.

He doesn’t know why, but Ji Huan always felt that he wanted to go there.

“That’s the place to introduce work.” The little devil added: “If you make a lot of money, you can drink a lot of water.”

Ji Huan was stunned: So, is this like an employment market?

A place to introduce work——After listening to the little gray demon’s introduction, Ji Huan carefully wrote down the address of this place in his heart.

However, thinking that the purpose of the little gray devil to make money is to drink a lot of water, Ji Huan looked down at the top of his cloak, and remained silent for a while.

This is just a child.

A child who works hard.

The two walked in silence. As time passed, the surrounding houses became more and more crude, and the land beneath them gradually became covered with garbage. When a stretch of garbage mountain appeared in front of Ji Huan, the little gray devil finally spoke again:

“Here it is.”

It was only then that Ji Huan realized that the destination of their trip had finally arrived.

This is a place with extremely strong light radiation. It was already night when they arrived here, so he didn’t feel it. Now when he stands here during the day, after only five minutes, Ji Huan feels like he is about to pass out from the heat.

Thinking of Hei Dan he was carrying on his chest under the cloak, Ji Huan hurriedly opened a small hole to let him breathe.

Hei Dan understood what his uncle meant.

Accompanied by a “poof”, Hei Dan’s little head poked out from the gap in the cloak, and this time, the two white ring eyes just bumped with the little gray devil who just raised his head!

Looking at the little demon that was almost blended in with the black cloak, the little gray devil was expressionless.

Hei Dan waved his little paw reflexively, and looked at the little gray devil curiously for a while, then he retracted again.

Ji Huan, who had been paying attention to Hei Dan’s reaction, naturally saw the scene just now, and only felt a little soft in his heart.

Just at this time, the little gray devil suddenly raised his head again, until Ji Huan could see his pale, pointed chin and dry, cracked mouth.

Then, Ji Huan heard him say——

“Is that your food?”

“I ate it when I was very young, it was not good, and it won’t increase your strength, so it’s useless.”

As soon as these words came out, Ji Huan, who was still feeling a little emotional after looking at the friendly gaze between the two little demons, suddenly woke up.
