Home/ Devil / Chapter 72 (Part 1)

The next day, “The ring that Mr. Firzaha bought for 9.2 million is fake!” This piece of news once again featured in major newspapers, but there was another headline next to it, which was “Someone actually came to exchange the real ring with the fake one!?”

No matter which piece of news it was, it’s quite entertaining and people will always be interested in news about the world that they cannot explore, and demons are no exception. For a while, Mr. Firzaha’s figure appeared in various newspapers and magazines, and the big black and grey scarf on his body also became a best selling item of the year.

“The same style as Mr. Firzaha”~

Uh, people don’t know if it’s to prevent himself from being photographed, but Mr. Firzaha finally ended up walking around wrapped in a long black and grey scarf, covering his entire face. Not to mention, this slightly improved style of dressing up looked quite handsome~

However, all that is available in the market are imitations in terms of color and style. Although the scarf worn by Mr. Firzaha is low-key, it has exotic and wonderful patterns on it. Currently, no one has managed to imitate it successfully.

When the distant Luyerda demons were talking about imitating the same scarf as Mr. Firzaha, a small black creature in a house on Yefar Street, was already using it.

 ︿(￣︶￣)︿

The scarf that Mr. Firzaha temporarily found out of his luggage in order to cover up the festering half of his body was bought by Ji Huan in Bade Town in the human world. Because he often needed to find something to temporarily tie Hei Dan to his body, he simply bought a lot of long and strong scarves, and that one was one of them.

When Ji Huan prepared the luggage for Ah Jin, he thought that there might be a sudden drop in temperature. Although he knew that the other party might not need it, he still stuffed a scarf he bought into it.

Isn’t this coming in handy now?

Hei Dan was also using it.

He seems to have grown up a bit lately.

The diapers he brought before were running out, and he knew that he couldn’t buy diapers in this kind of place, so Ji Huan had no choice but to give them up.

But he doesn’t know if it’s because babies who wear too many diapers will have a special dependence on diapers. Other children have to wear crotch pants so early, but Hei Dan felt a bit uncomfortable with the feeling of being cool down there. He always looks nervously in the middle of his legs, and tightly clamps them. In this way, the Hei Dan, who was already very good at crawling, could not crawl anymore. There was no other way, Ji Huan had to use his old cotton T-shirt to cut out a pair of underwear in the shape of a diaper, and in order to make it familiar, Ji Huan even sewed a frog on it with needles and threads!

Although it doesn’t look like a frog at all, Hei Dan was fooled. He crawled around every day wearing the underwear made of his uncle’s old clothes, and his calves became stronger!

The weather has been getting colder recently, so Ji Huan gave him a scarf from his luggage. It’s a scarf for adults, but it’s like a super big cloak for Hei Dan. He likes this scarf very much, and even made a special fuss about marking it with his scent.

Uh, he has never done it before.

Hm, it stinks, and even Hei Dan knows it.

Ji Huan is now making him drink porridge.

He brought a lot of complementary food for the babies, but now Hei Dan mainly eats a kind of local grain instead of those every day!

When it comes to the origin of these grains, it is really a bit strange: these grains were dug out by Ji Huan from the cave of the “bone” monsters.

“…”

Hei Dan’s literacy book came in handy.

Isn’t there a book that teaches children to read through the adventures of an egg? One of the stories tells that the egg was caught by the mouse, and then in the mouse’s house, he ate rice, red beans, and soybeans…

Seeing these long-lost foods, Ji Huan swallowed his saliva, but what he noticed was the habit of “rats storing food in caves” mentioned in the literacy book.

Although Ji Huan is a country boy, his family has lived in the mountains, and has grown at most a few vegetables. Not to mention mice, there are not even a single mosquito and cockroach at home (← Grandpa is there~). In addition, since he grew up, although grandpa had the appearance of a human, the common sense and stories he could tell him were still a bit vague. So, Ji Huan really doesn’t know if rats would hide food in their nests.

But after all, he was still a teenage boy, and when he has a practical spirit for the things told in the story, he thinks that the bones here are very close to the living habits of rats in the human world, so he really searched a few nests of the bones, let alone——

He really found something similar to grain in those nests!

As usual, he first fed it to Da Bai as a meal, and he didn’t die (←=-=Hey!), so Ji Huan ate some and found that he was fine, so he confidently announced that these foods would be given specially to Hei Dan in the future !

Grandpa was very happy: he doesn’t like vegetarian food!

Hei Dan was also very happy: Uncle put all these grains in Hei Dan’s milk can! The previously empty milk can became heavy again, and Hei Dan’s little heart finally settled down.

Ji Huan’s heart also settled down: Knowing that there are grains in this world, he feels that the probability of living a good life in this world is higher.

After thinking about it carefully, except that he can’t go to college, his current life is no different from the life planned by Ji Huan: when he go to a new place, it’s better to have a hot spring, find a job to support the family, and then continue to live together as a family.

To a certain extent, life now is even better than he planned: Grandpa and Hei Dan can finally appear in front of everyone, without worrying about who is weirder than whom. They are the most ordinary people in this world.

And——

The family can finally take a photo together.

Different from the cameras in the human world, he can take pictures of grandpa and Hei Dan with the cameras here!

Although Ji Huan has no money to buy a camera, the mobile phone Ah Jin bought for him before has a camera function. It was the first time he encountered a camera that could take pictures of demons. Grandpa was probably too excited, and he took a lot of pictures every day, he not only took selfies, but also took pictures for Hei Dan, his grandson, and even Da Bai in the yard!

He even took a few pictures of the little gray devil.

The little gray devil, who has never looked in the mirror properly since he was born, had a weird expression when he first saw himself clearly, and then he refused to take pictures again.

However, Ji Huan finally took a good photo of him.

Using a bottle of water—Ji Huan told him it was undrinkable hot spring water, cleaned his little face that had never been scrubbed, and combed his gray hair with a homemade wooden comb. For the first time, Ji Huan saw the appearance of this little demon:

He has big eyes, a pointed chin, and the pupils are extremely transparent grey. This thin child is not particularly beautiful, but he has his own style.

The little grey devil with neatly combed hair looks a little cute.

Ji Huan took a photo for him.

“When you look for a job in the future, you can use these photos.” ← Of course, this is what an official once said to him to persuade him to take pictures.

So, that’s what Ji Huan said to the little grey devil, but in fact…

After he started to raise Hei Dan, Ji Huan, who was still a child, suddenly understood the feelings of many parents: why so many parents always like to pat their children.

Feeling that their children are the cutest is one aspect, and another aspect is that their children will soon grow up, and parents want to capture every moment of their life to remember it.

But the little grey devil has no parents, he will grow up without leaving any memories.

He always feels a little regretful about this.

With that in mind, Ji Huan persuaded the little grey devil to take a photo.

There is a printer in the house left by Ah Jin. Although it looks very old, it can still be used unexpectedly. Ji Huan picked out a few and printed them out. He picked out his own and put them in the place where the family photos are placed in the grandfather’s room. There were only three photos originally placed there, one was of his sister and him when they were young, and the other was of Ji Huan alone in the amusement park.

In the picture, it looks that young Ji Huan was the only one there, but Ji Huan knew that Grandpa was standing beside him at that time.

The last one is a ‘group photo’ of his sister and her invisible boyfriend.

The corner of his mouth slightly hooked, and he put the printed family portrait in front of these photos.

From now on, their family can truly make various memories together.

Although……

Xiao Hei was gone.

Ji Huan gave the photo of the little gray devil to him.

The little gray devil accepted it in disgust, and put the thin paper under the cloak without even looking at it.

At that time, Ji Huan thought that the child really didn’t like taking pictures, but he didn’t know that after the little grey devil went back to his “home”, he deliberately looked for a bright place for a long time to put the photo.

This is the first photo of his life.

He thought he would be like the vast majority of people in this neighborhood: he would never leave a photo in his life, no one would remember what he looked like when he was a child, and he would not even know what he looked like when he grew up.

Probably the only photo a person born on this block might get is the one on a wanted warrant.

He thought he would be the same.

But now, he got a photo.
