Home/ Devil / Chapter 87

Returning to his bedroom, Ji Huan immediately saw the lamb-horned demon snoring soundly on the bed and a black egg flipping through a reading book.

Upon seeing Ji Huan, Hei Dan immediately lifted his little paw as he flipped through the book. He opened his two thin arms towards Ji Huan while mumbling something in his mouth.

The bracelet on the left wrist looked really heavy, and his left arm was raised a bit lower because of the weight.

Ji Huan hurried over to pick him up, and praised him while hugging him: “Hei Dan is so good, and he had made grandpa fall asleep again.”

Hei Dan just giggled.

Ji Huan also laughed.

Well, grandpa doesn’t really seem to like reading. When Ji Huan was a child, grandpa read storybooks to coax him and his elder sister to sleep, but the result was that his grandpa himself often fell asleep first. Now that he is here with Hei Dan, it still seems to be the case.

Pulling the quilt up for the Grandpa, Ji Huan went to cook with Hei Dan on his back.

At dinner, Ji Huan told them that he had found a job.

“You got hired as a staff member in the testing area! It sounds like you will only need to work in the office!” With a bony tail in his mouth, Grandpa’s eyes lit up.

“Although it is a sitting job, but…” Ji Huan thought for a while: “There’s no roof over there, so it should not be considered an office.”

“What if it rains without a roof? No, it rarely rains here, and it’s always sunny! Anyway, take an umbrella tomorrow!” Grandpa immediately urged.

Ji Huan thought about it, and added “carry an umbrella” to Ah Jin’s list of suggestions for a newcomer.

When the grandpa and grandson were talking, Hei Dan sat on Ji Huan’s lap.

The small ears were pricked up, and his chin was raised, as if listening carefully.

Noticing that his little mouth was not moving, Ji Huan picked up a small spoon from the side, scooped some porridge from Hei Dan’s small bowl and put it into his mouth, and Hei Dan’s small mouth started moving again.

The family of three continued to eat happily.

The next morning, it was a sunny day. After preparing breakfast, Ji Huan left early in the morning.

“Grandpa, Hei Dan’s lunch is in the pot. Before you go out to hunt, heat it up for him. By the way, before it gets hot, cut up some vegetables and put them in.” Before leaving, Ji Huan reminded Grandpa.

Grandpa nodded, and promised to complete the task.

Sitting in Grandpa’s arms, Hei Dan also stared at Uncle with his white ring eyes in anticipation.

Ji Huan thought about it, so he also assigned a task for him: “Hei Dan will continue to read story books with Grandpa after returning home this afternoon, and then coax Grandpa to sleep in the afternoon.”

Hei Dan… Ji Huan didn’t know if he understood it or not, but he also nodded solemnly.

After he learned to shake his head, Hei Dan always nodded whenever he heard his uncle say something.

“Say hello to the little grey devil for me.” After he finished speaking, he finally picked up an umbrella, put on a big cloak, and immediately went to the employment market.

When he came to the employment market yesterday, he was still full of apprehension, but when he came here again today, his mood was completely different: this will be his workplace from now on.

When Ji Huan came, the old demon had already arrived, wearing pants embroidered with little frogs. He was practicing boxing in the yard, which was a very slow set of boxing, with a speed that was comparable to that of Tai Chi in the previous world.

“Good morning. “After entering the courtyard, Ji Huan greeted the old demon and immediately stopped bothering him. He noticed that there was an additional chair beside the old demon’s chair at the entrance of the testing area, which must be his own seat in the future.

The moment Ji Huan saw this chair, he felt more at ease.

The workplace is ready, and he really has a job.

When the old demon finally finished boxing and started looking for his new employee, Ji Huan was squatting at the door, cleaning the chairs.

He used the scrubbing tools he brought from his old hometown. Thinking that the other party wanted him to be proficient in cleaning, Ah Jin suggested that he should bring some cleaning tools.

Because of no water, he found it difficult to wipe. While exhaling on the chair, Ji Huan continued to wipe.

“There’s water over there, go fetch some to clean.” The old demon couldn’t bear his frugal behavior, and pointed to the location to the west.

Ji Huan then went to fetch the water. He now knew how precious water was here, and how rare the well is in Ah Jin’s yard!

When the other party said that there was water over there, Ji Huan thought that there might be a cup or a basin of water over there. He never thought that he would see in the direction of the old demon’s finger——

A water pipe! ?

Ji Huan’s mouth opened slightly.

He gently unscrewed the water pipe a little bit, and when he saw the water spraying out from inside, Ji Huan quickly re-screwed it.

Ah!

When in Ah Jin’s house, he was still using the well, the old demon’s house had already been using the water pipe——

Ji Huan quickly regained his composure, he took some water from the small basin he carried with his cleaning tools, slightly dampened the towel, and then went back to wipe it again.

The two chairs were quickly wiped clean by him. The old demon looked very satisfied and immediately sat on his own chair. However, the chair was clean, and the dirt on his cloak was particularly noticeable. As he sat down, the mud on his cloak rolled onto the chair, and the originally clean chair became dirty again!

The old demon looked at Ji Huan in embarrassment.

Ji Huan reached out his hand towards him.

So in the next second, the old demon sat on a clean chair with only one pair of pants, and the rest of his clothes were taken away by Ji Huan. He took a large basin of water, and vigorously washed his clothes.

These clothes were really dirty! There were even bugs on them.

He carefully picked out these bugs, and carefully washed every corner of the clothes.

“What are you collecting those bugs for?” The old demon asked with his thin legs hanging on the chair.

“Eat.” The chickens at home love to eat all kinds of bugs, and Ji Huan is used to collecting bugs when he sees them.

The old demon burst into tears again.

“My wife… also loved to eat bugs on my body the most…”

Ji Huan:”….”

Ji Huan rummaged in the warehouse of the old demon for a long time but couldn’t find the rope. In the end, he only found a metal chain. Seeing that the length was suitable, he pulled out the metal chain and hung the clean clothes on the metal chain, which didn’t take long to dry.

The old demon took a bath by the way, and when he put on the clean dry clothes and sat on the chair again, he looked like a completely new demon.

When they finished all this, the first guest in the test area also arrived.

This demon probably inquired about the test area before, although he couldn’t read, he was not fooled by the five fingers of the old demon, and perfectly avoided all the arbitrary fees. When he got the result and was about to leave, the old demon suddenly stopped him.

“How about a resume?” the old demon asked.

“Resume? Is there a fee?” the demon asked cautiously. This was the first time he spoke since he entered the door.

“Ten bone coins.” The old demon said.

“No.” The demon shook his head and left.

Ji Huan, who had been standing by the side, was stunned, and he quickly looked at the old demon.

“It doesn’t matter, wait for the people behind.”

Sitting at the door with nothing to do for a while, Ji Huan finally waited for the second group of guests, this time there were three guests in total, and they were not fooled by the fingers stretched out by the old demon. They were also stopped by the old demon and asked if they needed resumes.

Only one of the demon asked for a resume – he probably just wanted to know what a resume was, and the other two demons didn’t ask for it – that’s right, most of the demons here only buy necessary things.

According to the method of making resumes for himself, Abu, and little grey devil yesterday, Ji Huan carefully drew a tabular resume for this demon.

“Thank you for your patronage, Mr. Zabu.” This time he also added a name column to the resume, for which he already inquired about the other party’s name, so he naturally knew the person’s name.

Adhering to the habit he developed when he worked in a car repair shop previously: when sending customers off, he would say “thank you for your patronage”, so Ji Huan habitually thanked the other party.

Apparently there is no such habit here, the demon froze for a moment, finally accepted the resume made by Ji Huan, and then threw ten sparkling coins into the jar in front of him.

Before leaving, the old demon also put his stamp on the resume, which was black and looked very complicated.

The demon carefully took the paper exchanged for ten bone coins and left.

Until the market was about to close, Ji Huan received a total of seven guests, only one resume was purchased by the demon, and the rest still applied according to the original method.

Ji Huan was feeling a little uneasy.

If this happens every day, wouldn’t he be an unnecessary person here?

If you hire an idler for 500 bone coins a month, no one would be willing to be taken advantage of like this, right?

Will he become unemployed as soon as he gets a job?

Just when Ji Huan was feeling anxious, three people suddenly ran in from outside the door! Ji Huan knew each of them, they were the three demons that Ji Huan received in the second group today. One of the demon was Zabu, and he was the only customer who bought a resume today!

Could it be that he made a typo on his resume, and the other party came back to settle the score?

Ji Huan felt even more restless, he quickly recalled it, but couldn’t remember making any mistakes.

At this moment, the strongest of the three demons suddenly slapped Ji Huan’s table hard.

“Give me a resume!” After the huge slap left the table, ten shiny palms lay quietly on the table in front of Ji Huan.

Uh…it turns out that what he just did was just gave money.

“Today, the three of us were looking for a job together, but only Zabu found a job. Although all the conditions were similar, he went to work later than us in order to wait for his resume. Why was he selected and we were brushed off? !”

“He has one more resume than us!”

“Yes! It must be because of my resume! I have a resume!” Zabu stood in the middle happily, his two companions shouting on both sides. After the strongest demon put the money, the other one also placed ten sparkling crystals on the table.

However——

“Ten coins are not enough, we need twenty coins.” The old demon said suddenly while sitting next to him.

“Huh!? Didn’t Zabu pay ten coins in the morning?” The strong demon asked Zabu about the price, and Ji Huan also looked at the old demon.

“The price of the resume is ten bone coins, and the other ten are the money for re-testing. It has been a day and I have received so many guests, who still remembers your test results?” the old demon said slowly.

Ji Huan:”….”, I remember it!

Also… He only received seven guests! I can count on one hand!

Ji Huan =-= looked at the old demon next to him, the old demon’s eyelids were drooping, and there was no change in his eyes.

Ji Huan also lowered his gaze.

Seeing that the two staff members were so calm, the two demons who were anxious to find a job hurriedly got together to discuss it.

“What he said makes sense. If there are so many test results, I will definitely not be able to remember them.”

The result of the discussion was: the two demons gritted their teeth and took out ten bone coins each.

After re-testing, Ji Huan made a resume for the two of them, and after the old demon stamped it, the two demons went out holding the form as if they had found a treasure.

Zabu, who was the last to leave, waved his paws at Ji Huan and the old demon with a smile. After a while, the old demon took out a little monster from behind and put it on Ji Huan’s table.

This monster died miserably. When it was placed on the table, blood splashed all over the table.

“This is…” Ji Huan was stunned.

“This is extra income.” The old demon said slowly, “Take it back and make dinner.”

Looking at the wretched monster on the table, Ji Huan swallowed his saliva.

It looks like……

It’s so delicious!

This magical beast looks like a prey that he couldn’t catch!

Ji Huan pursued his lips and corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.

The form he made helped a demon with moderate conditions to stand out and find a job, and he got extra income. It was a good start.

After wiping the tabletop, Ji Huan was ready to go home from work.

However, before leaving work, he suddenly remembered what Ah Jin had said, and counted out eighty-seven bone coins from his bag, and Ji Huan pushed them in front of the old demon.

“A friend of mine, after hearing that I found a job with you, asked me to return the money to you. There are a total of eighty-seven bone coins. Please check.”

Sitting unsteadily in the sunset, the old demon seemed to have been thinking for a long time, before finally remembering something: “That kid is still alive?”

“Um.”

“Tell him it’s not enough to just return the money in the wallet, the wallet must also be returned to me.” Leaving a sentence, the old demon threw all the bone coins into his wallet and waved away.

Ji Huan scratched his head and always felt that these two people had a bad relationship.
