Except for Ji Huan, the other three demons are all typical “one demon is full, and the whole family is not hungry”(they don’t have anyone else in their family to inform).
“Go home and tell your grandfather.” Adan waved to Ji huan, and then began to direct Abu and Naji to hunt and cook. Because Ji Huan’s clothes were washed and torn by Naji, Adan also lent Ji Huan a set of his own clothes.
When Ji Huan came home, Grandpa had just finished cooking. The food was all still in the pot, and despite the voices in their bellies growling loudly, neither Grandpa nor Hei Dan moved.
Although Hei Dan is very small in size, he knows to wait for his uncle to come home and eat together. He was also the first to discover that Ji Huan had arrived home. I don’t know whether he felt Ji Huan or the self-made “frog doll” that Ji Huan carried with him, but when Ji Huan was hundreds of meters away from home, Hei Dan informed the grandpa.
Grandpa has long been accustomed to Hei Dan’s strange abilities, and immediately filled three bowls of porridge out of the pot. When Ji Huan came in, the food was steaming hot and just put on the table.
The noticeably short cloak on Ji Huan’s body startled Grandpa, as he almost thought his grandson had been robbed! However, this misunderstanding was quickly dispelled after Ji Huan explained the reason.
“The boss sent someone to wash our clothes today.” Ji Huan explained in this way.
“The treatment at your workplace is very good!” Grandpa’s worries immediately turned into joy.
Striking while the iron is hot, Ji Huan quickly told Grandpa that he will be going on a business trip with the boss tomorrow.
“Work hard.” Grandpa just nodded.
However, Grandpa took out all the money in the family and gave it to Ji huan that night.
“Poor or rich, we don’t spend much money at home. Even if you are going out on a business trip alone, you should spend some money and buy some things you like.” Although Grandpa’s appearance is that of a demon, his inner self is completely human, and various human conceptions have been engraved into his mind, which sound quite reasonable.
Hei Dan also handed over his private money to his uncle.
He doesn’t understand what it means to ‘hand in private money’. It was nothing more than watching his grandfather give his uncle ‘sparkling’ things, so he felt that he had to give it too.
Hei Dan handed in a total of eleven bone coins, which should be the money he got from his ‘business partnership’ with the little gray devil.
Looking at the shiny bone coins, Ji Huan was stunned for a moment before he smiled.
He remembered the little gray devil.
“Gray! Gray!” Hei Dan also remembered the little gray devil.
On the second day after the little gray devil left, Hei Dan could finally say some words other than “Jiujiu” and “Yeye”.
Surprised and a bit worried, the family soaked in the hot spring boiled by Hei Dan. After Ji Huan packed his luggage, he played with Hei Dan for a while, and after reading picture books with him for a long time, he finally coaxed him to sleep. Not long after, Ji Huan also fell asleep.
Early the next morning, after preparing breakfast for the whole family, Ji Huan fed Da Bai and his wife along with the chickens. He then put Hei Dan in Grandpa’s room and left with the luggage.
He didn’t realize that after he closed the door, in front of the window on the second floor, a lamb-horned demon watched him leave until his figure disappeared, his expression filled with worry.
——
When Ji Huan arrived, the three demons had already packed up, but their faces were pale and they all looked very sick.
Ji Huan was startled.
When they parted yesterday, everyone was fine!
“What happened?”
The eyes of the old demon and Abu turned to look at Naji accusingly, who also looked like a small bean sprout at the same time.
“I’ve never seen a person with such poor cooking skills! When I was a child, I picked up garbage and ate it without getting any diarrhea. Yesterday, he cooked the top-grade monster I caught, causing us to have diarrhea! We had diarrhea for the whole night! The whole night !” Abu complained to Ji Huan: “When I got this scar on my face, I didn’t feel that I was going to die, but yesterday, I really thought I wasn’t far from death…”
Ji Huan then took out a bottle of intestine pills from his pocket.
“What is this? It smells so bad!” Abu asked. The demon’s sense of smell is very keen. As soon as the pill was poured out, he almost backed away.
“It’s for treating diarrhea and is especially effective for gastrointestinal discomfort caused by eating bad food.” Ji Huan explained.
Abu immediately pinched his nose and swallowed all the five pills Ji Huan gave him.
Seeing that Abu’s face became better, and noticing that the other two demons were looking at him, Ji Huan handed the medicine bottle to them.
Ji Huan still has the phone number of the blond taxi driver who brought him here in the first place. He made an appointment with the other party to pick them up at seven o’clock, and now it’s five minutes before seven o’clock.
Ji Huan had already noticed the figure of the other party’s tattered pickup truck appearing at the end of the road.
Adan also saw it and took out a board from behind, handing it to Ji Huan.
“Starting from now on, the testing staff will be on vacation and the testing area will be closed for the time being”, said the old demon, while Ji Huan wrote it down.
“Whoever dares to go in and mess with my things, help me beat him to death! There will be a big reward for that person when I come back!” The pen in his hand paused for a moment, but Ji Huan finally wrote this sentence.
After he finished writing, the old demon read it again and felt satisfied. Then he handed the board to Abu, who was the tallest behind him, asking him to hang the board at the entrance of the testing area.
“What about the ones who can’t read?” Abu asked while hanging the board.
So——
Ji Huan drew a simplified version of a skull on the board.
It’s done.
After the board was hung up, the blond demon arrived.
Seeing the four demons riding this time, he just opened the rear compartment without saying a word.
The sun was rising, and under the mild sunlight, a dilapidated pickup truck drove Ji Huan and his team quickly out of the testing area, out of the garbage-filled outskirts, and finally out of the Yefar area!
“Look at these two bumpkins.” After getting out of the car and paying the fare generously, Adan also gave the blond driver an extra tip.
Before the driver left, Ji Huan stopped him and handed him a sum of money, saying something to the driver, who readily agreed.
The old demon didn’t care, he threw the suitcase to Naji, who was the thinnest and walked in the front like a tiger. Ji Huan silently followed behind him with his luggage, while the other two demons couldn’t be as calm as they were.
Whether it’s the tall and burly Abu or the thin bean sprout boy Naji, their eyes were wide open at this moment, looking curiously at the waiting hall of the train station where people are coming and going.
The top of the waiting hall was quite high, with five colored glasses at the top. The dazzling sunlight came in through the glass ceiling, shining on the floor in various colors, looking very beautiful. Although the demons here were all wearing cloaks, they were completely different from their dirty and inconspicuous cloaks.
The cloaks of the demons here looked very clean and flashy, and the fabric was either thick or soft, without any repetition. The demons wearing those cloaks also looked different from the ones they have seen before, and they seem to be traveling together.
Abu and the others can hear those demons talking to each other around them. They also have various food boxes in their hands, with wonderful smell coming from inside——
“You are responsible for keeping an eye on these two bumpkins behind you.” Looking back at the foolish appearance of the two demons, Adan assigned a new task to Ji Huan, and there was also a bulging wallet that came with the task. “I’ve been having diarrhea all night, I’m hungry. Go and buy me something to eat, along with a newspaper, and also buy something to eat for the rest of you three.”
The old demon sat on the seat, lowered his cloak a little, and closed his eyes to rest.
Ji Huan hooked the corners of his lips, and left with the two young demons who were still looking around foolishly.
“This is the waiting hall. The waiting hall is the place where you wait for the train. We will take the train in a while. Look, the number is 7. Our train will stop here in a while…” Ji Huan slowly explained it to the two demons.
In fact, it was also his first time taking a train in this world, but fortunately, he had the experience of riding a train in the human world before. The means of transportation on both sides are very similar, and he was used to being expressionless, so he didn’t show any surprise.
Ji Huan was literate. While looking at the waiting hall around him, he explained what he saw to the two demons.
He explained very seriously, as patiently as he usually teaches Hei Dan.
He first went to buy a newspaper, and saw two young demons’ noses twitching, so he followed the smell to a restaurant where a lot of people were queuing up.
“So much… food… surprisingly, no one… grabs it!” Following Ji Huan in line, Naji whispered. This is the first time he took the initiative to talk to Ji Huan, probably because Ji Huan’s patient explanation just now made him relax, so he took the initiative to talk to Ji Huan, but he still ignored Abu: “The demon that sells food here must be very powerful.”
He came to a conclusion.
“No, the outside areas must abide by the law. Although I don’t know what kind of rules there are, no one can rob people casually.” Ji Huan also whispered to him.
Naji nodded.
“But, Abu, haven’t you been here before?” It’s a little strange that Ji Huan was also very unfamiliar with Abu.
“It’s the first time I came here. Before that, most of us were (robbing) around (Yefar), and it was only here…” He pointed to his face: “…When I was injured, I was dispatched a little farther, but that time I was (ambushed) in the luggage compartment, and almost suffocated to death, so I didn’t look at anything!”
Ji Huan: “…”
Except for Ji Huan, the cloaks of Abu and Naji were dirtier than the others. Abu had a loud voice, and the demons around them looked sideways, but Abu was too tall to notice it. Ji Huan only glanced at those demons that kept looking at them, and those demons turned their eyes away.
After buying some food according to their preferences, Ji Huan took the two demons around again, and while walking, he explained to them all kinds of instructions for taking the train.
Well… the human version.
Abu and Naji listened with interest.
Then Ji Huan took the two of them to a cloak shop.
“People like to buy some souvenirs at the train station. I think these cloaks are pretty good. Try them. I’ll give them to you as souvenirs.”
Both Abu and Naji were a little happy.
Picking out a cloak for the two of them, Ji Huan also chose one for himself and Adan. He spent most of the money that Grandpa gave him, but at least Abu and Naji didn’t look so dirty and eye-catching on the outside now, avoiding the curious eyes of the people around them. Then Ji Huan took them back to Adan’s side.
