Home/ Devil / Chapter 65

The result of the first time hunting was——

Ji Huan didn’t even catch a single “bone”.

“…”

This kind of monster called “bone” by the locals here is very weak, and the surrounding creatures are their natural enemies. They don’t have a strong body, as a result they eventually evolved with a talent of speed and the ability to dig holes.

They run extremely fast and are always on alert. If there is even a slight movement in the grass, they will run away and quickly dig a hole in the garbage mountain with their powerful claws. Unless you can catch them at the moment they are digging the hole, it is basically impossible to catch them.

They huddle under the garbage almost all day long, and only show their heads when they are looking for food and breathing. It is really difficult to catch them!

Grandpa was even worse than him. He was afraid of breaking the glasses his grandson made for himself while hunting, so he took them off before leaving, and then—he caught something, but what he caught was not a bone, but a demon who was hunting for bones!

The opponent’s size is not big, maybe it is a child demon like the little gray devil, although thinking like this, he may be suspected of bullying children, but…

Grandpa, please wear the glasses next time ← Ji Huan touched Grandpa comfortingly.

They ended up buying a bone from the little devil – and in the midst of their failures, he even managed to grab another one.

However, the little gray devil doesn’t want money.

“Tomorrow, give it to me, it’s getting late, and not safe at all.” It’s not that he doesn’t want money, the little gray devil wants them to pay him at the market tomorrow, because now there are no water sellers, and the money can’t be spent, so it’s very unsafe for him to carry money with him.

Only now does Ji Huan know that the little gray devil lives in a certain cave under this garbage mountain, close to those bone monsters, and there are always demons who come to hunt here. Although he will not be killed, he is very likely to be robbed.

Well, now, Ji Huan found out another rule of Yefar: They will not kill people in this block, let alone the indigenous ones who live in this neighborhood.

Uh…it sounds very united, but after hearing another paragraph, Ji Huan soon stopped thinking about it:

“Because, except the indigenous ones, no one will come to settle down in Yefar, and the fewer residents will be killed, and…”

Next, the little gray devil described an incident that once happened on this block in a language he did not understand much: roughly, someone was killed in this area, and then his friend killed the person who killed his friend to avenge him, and then the friend of the person who was killed, killed the person who avenged the friend, and then… it became an infinite loop, and finally the population of Yefar dropped sharply, and there was no more business left in the market. During that time, Yefar was so weak that it was almost crushed by the governing institutions at the time.

After that, Yefar came up with a rule: It is forbidden to kill people in this block, and outside of this block, it is forbidden to kill people from Yefar.

Of course, fighting is still allowed, and robbing each other is also allowed, as long as you don’t kill people.

Ji Huan now understands more and more why Ah Jin brought them here to settle: their family is weak and knows nothing about this world, and if they go to any seemingly peaceful place, they may be killed because of what they have, but not in Yefar, as long as they live in Yefar, they will not be killed.

Therefore, here, even weak demons like the little gray devil have the opportunity to grow up, considering that they themselves are strong enough and willing to work hard to survive. In this case, almost none of the demons who grow up here are weak.

Looking at the little gray devil who calmly said to himself ‘he can’t keep this money’, Ji Huan thought for a while, then lowered his head and said to Hei Dan in the tent: “Hei Dan, pass your milk bottle over to that brother to drink, just a sip?”

Hei Dan can now understand most of the words related to the milk bottle, such as take a sip, he is very obedient and does not protect his food at all, whenever grandpa tells him that he wants to take a sip from his bottle, he will take the initiative to hand over the bottle. In the past, of course, Grandpa just teased him on purpose. Although he is a demon, grandpa is well versed in how humans tease their children.

Ji Huan raised his chin in the direction of the little gray devil, and Hei Dan handed him the milk bottle in his paw.

The little gray devil stared blankly at the unknown object handed over by the little demon, and stood motionless.

“This is Hei Dan’s food. You can drink it. You haven’t had any water today? Even if I give you money tomorrow, you have to drink water tomorrow. Why don’t I just give you this instead of money?” Ji Huan has to speak a lot, and it took him a lot of effort, but obviously the little gray devil understood it.

Hearing that it was something to drink, the little gray devil immediately perked up. He looked up at Ji Huan’s expression, and then at the little demon who was holding a strange object and smiling at him.

Licking his dry lips, he confirmed again:

“Can I drink?”

Ji Huan nodded.

The little gray devil looked at the lamb horned demon behind Ji Huan again, and nodded to himself, then carefully took the milk bottle from the little black paw, and stared at this strange thing, he didn’t know what to say.

“Hei Dan sucks on it, and it is full of his saliva. If you don’t want to use the pacifier directly, you can use it… as a cup.” The word “twist” that he can’t say, Ji Huan made a twist gesture instead.

The little gray devil is very smart, and immediately understood how to use the bottle. He unscrewed the cap, glanced at the yellow-white liquid in the bottle, frowned, and finally took a little sip, and then took another sip. When the cap was re-screwed and handed back, there was only a small amount of milk missing in the bottle.

“I only drank a little.” The little gray devil compared with the size of a bottle cap.

“The taste is strange, like…” He thought for a while: “The taste of bone breast milk is better than this.”

He once hunted a lactating bone beast, and accidentally obtained milk from it. Although the taste was very fishy, it was still drinkable. He sucked it for three days until the bone beast died and then ate it.

“It’s milk.” Ji Huan put the bottle into Hei Dan’s mouth again, and Hei Dan continued to bite the pacifier and grind his teeth.

After staring at the black ball(Hei Dan) for a while, the little gray devil put the bone he had just caught into the hand of the lamb-horned demon, and then he burrowed into a place under the garbage mountain.

Starting from this day, Ji Huan’s family went to the garbage mountain to hunt every day.

After all, Grandpa is a demon, and his physical strength is gradually recovering. Although his eyesight still has some problems, after he got used to wearing the glasses for hunting, he can gradually catch bones.

Ji Huan is much slower, but he has not been idle during this time. He reads a lot every day, and regularly memorizes 200 words. Now his language is much better than grandpa’s. During this period, an unexpected event occurred: five chicks hatched out of a basket of eggs he brought earlier. Although he doesn’t know if it was because of the local radiation that these chicks look a little different from normal, they survived with a strong head.

Ji Huan built a pig’s nest in the corner. When the sun is strong, Da Bai and the chickens nest together in it. Their main food is the little “weeds” left in Ah Jin’s yard. After Ji Huan once discovered that those chickens liked to eat a kind of parasite on the bone beast, he began to search for worms around the garbage mountain every day to feed them.

The amount he can find by himself is limited, so he simply hired the little gray devil to help him and the reward is a bottle cap of milk. Since the bottle is always handed over by Hei Dan, these days, Ji Huan found out that little gray demon and Hei Dan seemed to have developed a little friendship.

Black Egg gave little devil a piece of candy (← his least favorite, wrapped in a red candy wrapper), little devil didn’t want to eat it, so he sold it for five coins (⊙ o ⊙ ), and gave the three coins to black egg.

Hei Dan accepted it happily, and at night he gave one piece to his uncle and the other to grandpa.

About the relationship between the two of them – Ji Huan didn’t say a word, and let the two little demons continue to communicate in this way.

***

At the same time, Ah Jin also finished the last bento in the straw box.

The meat in the lunch box was a bit spoiled, but he finished it anyway. Then he ordered room service to deliver a drink called “Yak” (similar to coffee), and began to read the newspaper while drinking it

The main headline on the social page was the news of the sudden death of Rockfini Gemulo, a powerful figure in Yefar district.

It is said that before his death, he suddenly disappeared from his house for a while, and when he was found the next day, he had already died on the big bed in his bedroom for a long time, and he became decayed and old overnight. A grand funeral was held and at the same time, Yefar fell into chaos again.The big shots began to compete to divide up Rockfini’s belongings during his lifetime, but it didn’t seem to have any impact on others.

Well, in fact, it is not without impact. For example, it is very difficult to handle some documents related matters in Yefar recently, such as house deeds and so on…

Ah Jin flipped through the social page, and then continued to read the gossip news on the entertainment page.

After coming out of Yefar, Ah Jin first went to the town where he had taken a taxi before, and then took a taxi from there to a bigger city. After the largest bank converted the gold bars on his body into the current currency and deposited them in the card, another young, elegant, and handsome rich man was born.

Taking off the black cloak with strong regional characteristics, he is now wearing a very casual white suit, which was bought from the most popular clothing brand store, and he looks completely different from before.

He is now living in the most luxurious hotel in the local area. Kohler, the richest man in the city, built this hotel and has had a room on the top floor of the hotel for a long time. According to the gossip, because the richest man was divorcing his wife recently because of an affair, he moved out from his home, and has been living in the hotel.

It happened to be the floor above the room where Ah Jin lived.

He wrote three letters to this Mr. Kohler. The first letter was sent from a small town near Yefar, the second was sent from a medium-sized city where he stopped halfway, and the third letter was sent from inside this hotel.
