Father is expensive

Chapter 4 004

chapter004 He Di

The area of ​​No. [-] overlapping area (also called overlapping area [-]) ranks in the top three among the eighteen overlapping areas. There are three large urban areas, seventeen small towns, and some scattered villages and settlements.

Because they are all post-disaster reconstructions and the residents have a variety of cultures, the architectural styles in the overlapping areas are very inconsistent, grotesque like a fantasy world.

The urban area where the first district bureau is located is the "capital city" that overlaps with the first district, and the surrounding area is very prosperous.

This is the evening rush hour, and the traffic on every road is packed like sardines.

Gu Xingzhou's g65 crawled forward along with the traffic, watching the traffic light ahead turn green and then red three times, but it still couldn't get ahead.

Hu Fang and Chang Shan ate chicken paralyzed in the back seat, and after eating a plate, they hummed twice: "Dad, haven't you arrived yet? Your beautiful girl is going to starve to death soon."

Gu Xingzhou would answer "Then starve to death" at the beginning, but after Hu Fang asked the third time, Gu Xingzhou pretended not to hear it.

In the co-pilot, Su Bai hugged Fluffy, one big and one small moved their foreheads against the car window in unison, staring at the outside world non-stop - Fluffy actually didn't see anything, but felt consistent with Mommy The feeling is really good.

Su Bai looked at the pedestrians on the sidewalk on both sides. Humans, monsters, and half-monsters, most of them didn't deliberately hide their monster characteristics, and some monsters even transformed into real bodies, walking loudly in the crowd.

Su Bai looked at it for a while, and was a little puzzled: "Why are there no big monsters?"

Monsters are not like human beings. The size of the real body is based on the blood, and the second is the power. It is a routine operation from as small as dust to as big as Mount Tai.

On the streets here, there are small ones, but the big ones are only two meters high at most.

Gu Xingzhou: "Because there are restrictions—in order to realize the coexistence of monsters and humans, the Monster Control Law stipulates that monsters are forbidden to transform into real bodies larger than three cubic meters in urban areas. However, there are no such strict restrictions in less densely populated areas. .”

Su Bai was a little curious: "Do the monsters obey obediently?"

Gu Xingzhou: "How could it be? However, monsters who violate the rules are controlled by the Monster Control Law. Light warnings and fines will be revoked for more serious ones. The residence permit will be revoked and the residence permit will be re-examined. If it is more serious, it will be directly imprisoned, or even sealed, obliterate."

Su Bai raised his eyebrows: "Eradicate?"

His tail sounded slightly, and he didn't believe that human beings had the ability to obliterate those monsters who violated the "serious" rules.

Gu Xingzhou glanced at Su Bai, and said: "The cracks in the red mist area are fragile and not big, and the monsters that can fall in are almost all small monsters that cannot resist the attraction of the cracks, or monsters with little mana. It is said that human beings do have the ability to obliterate violating monsters."

Su Bai: "..."

Just talk, why are you staring at me?

Mana Five Su Bai curled his lips and ended the topic.

……

After half an hour of hard crawling on the road, Laoshancheng Hot Pot Restaurant finally arrived.

The four-story antique building is brightly lit, full of people, and there are diners sitting outside.

Gu Xingzhou and the others obviously came here often, and they didn't wait for a queue number. As soon as they entered the door, the boss behind the counter stood up with a smile.

The boss spoke in dialect and greeted enthusiastically: "I knew it. If you are rich, why don't you come and try the new crayfish hot pot. ——Oh, who is this handsome guy? I haven't seen it before! "

Su Bai changed into casual clothes in the dormitory, his long hair was tied behind his head, not feminine, with a refined elegance.

Su Bai understood what the boss was saying, but he didn't think about how to introduce himself for a moment.

In such a moment of hesitation, Fluffy in his arms actively poked out a little pink head, and loudly and proudly replied to the boss: "It's Mommy!"

The boss was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands, his smile heated up again, and he turned his head and took out a box of pastries from the counter. Get the cake first, so I can win a lottery——Why didn’t I hear you guys hold a wedding ceremony? Captain Gu, you’re not mean enough, didn’t you ask me to repeat it?”

Gu Xingzhou put the red bean cake on Su Bai's arm back on the counter, and explained to the boss: "You misunderstood, it's not my lover, it's a new black householder, screaming. - Our private room is ready ?"

The boss was a little confused after hearing this, why is he still yelling "Mom"?

But the boss didn't dwell on this issue for too long, and put the red bean cake into Su Bai's arms again: "It's nothing to eat, let's play with it. The private room is already ready, it's Mudanting, crayfish pot, here Rongrongwa steamed shrimp custard and a cup of crab roe porridge."

Gu Xingzhou glanced at the cake in Su Bai's arms, but didn't go to get it anymore, nodded and said, "Thank you, we'll go up first."

The boss waved to them, and then yelled loudly: "Xiaolong, lead Gu Dui and the others upstairs, let's open fire!"

A young man in the lobby responded loudly, and quickly ran to the stairs to wait.

……

The private room of Peony Pavilion is very elegant. Under the window is the backyard of the hot pot building. There is a peony garden in the backyard. The perspective from here is just right.

The table in the room has been set with dishes and side dishes. There is a large pot in the middle, and the outer circle is full of fiery red crayfish. The slightly smaller pot in the middle is filled with bright red soup, which is spicy and delicious. The taste is rich and not greasy.

Su Bai also ate a lot of good food, but he was still moved by the smell.

"Shrimp ah ah ah ~"

Hu Fang was the first to rush to the table, and then scooped up one-third of the prawns and piled them on her own plate, then ordered another two catties of prawns for preparation.

Gu Xingzhou and Xiaolong arranged the seats and tableware for the monster cubs.

Su Bai hugged Rongrong and looked at it, then saw the two small plates, he was stunned: "You let Rongrong eat by himself?"

Gu Xingzhou put some porridge and egg custard into the plate respectively, and then replied: "Of course, children should teach them to be self-reliant from an early age."

Su Bai: "..."

Your Fluffy is less than a year old, and your real body hasn't even fully developed yet.

But after all, he is not a child of his own family, so Su Bai has nothing to say about education.After Gu Xingzhou finished, he put the fluff into the seat.

"Mommy! Derry!"

As soon as Fluffy sat down, she immediately lay down beside the armrest, stretched out her short legs and pointed to the chair next to the cub seat, letting Su Bai sit.

Su Bai smiled, pulled out the chair and sat down.

Seeing that Su Bai really sat down, Rongrong turned happily on the spot, then pointed to a table of crayfish, "Mommy, bark!"

Following Gu Xingzhou's example, Su Bai cleaned his hands with a towel, then took a crayfish, and shook it at Fluffy: "Okay, I'm eating it, and Fluffy can eat it too."

Fluffy got down from the armrest, moved towards her own plate, and told Su Bai: "Mommy, there are too many! Bark!"

Su Bai understood, and laughed, "Okay, I'll eat more."

Fluffy was finally satisfied, and turned to enjoy her delicious food.

Su Bai also looked back, then peeled off the shrimp shell and ate one - it was very spicy, but not the kind that would burn the mouth, after swallowing the springy shrimp meat, there was only a lingering fragrance in his mouth.

Gu Xingzhou sat on the other side of Rongrong, because he asked Su Bai to take care of Rongrong today, so he also paid attention to Su Bai's reaction consciously.

After seeing Su Bai eating a shrimp, Gu Xingzhou asked, "Are you used to it? If you don't like it, you can order other things here."

Su Bai took another one, turned his head and smiled at Gu Xingzhou: "It's delicious——."

Su Bai's gaze stopped when he passed Fluffy, and then his smile gradually froze.

After he ate one shrimp, Fluffy had already turned from pink to "egg yolk" - Fluffy didn't know how to use utensils, so he really relied on his face to eat.

At this moment, Fluffy's whole face was buried in the plate, and because he was eating in a hurry, he pushed the plate away a little, so Fluffy simply stretched out her short legs and stepped into the plate, pressing down to keep the plate from moving, ah Woohoo eat from left to right.

Gu Xingzhou followed Su Bai's eyes to look over, and said "ah".

Su Baiman thought that Gu Xingzhou would feel guilty because of this, and then changed the way of eating for Rongrong.

Unexpectedly, after Gu Xingzhou "ah", he picked up the fluffy custard again, added some to the fluffy plate, and said, "I ate very fast today, it looks like I'm hungry. Slow down." Don't choke."

Fluffy raised his little head covered with egg custard and porridge soup, and smacked his father loudly: "Yeah!"

Gu Xingzhou: "Call after eating, and I'll add more for you."

Fluffy: "Yeah!"

Baji Baji Baji.

Su Bai: "........."

Su Bai closed his eyes, not to look at the appalling eating scene, but he still couldn't hold back, he asked Gu Xingzhou: "May I ask, where's Fluffy's mother?"

It doesn't make sense for Gu Xingzhou to take care of the child like this without being beaten to death by the child's mother.

Gu Xingzhou: "I don't know. Fluffy is an egg I picked up when I was on a mission last year. At that time, no signs of life were detected, and it couldn't be broken after knocking, so I brought it back and put it on the office bookshelf as a decoration. But I didn't expect it to be One day he suddenly broke his shell, and for some reason he chased after me and called him Dad, so I took care of it."

After listening to Gu Xingzhou's words, Su Bai was silent for two seconds, and then asked a soul-striking question: "...What do you want to do by knocking him?"

Gu Xingzhou paused, looked at the fluffy eyes, and replied tactfully: "That task was more troublesome. When I picked him up, I hadn't eaten for two days."

Su Bai: "..."

understood.

This brother is a werewolf.

"Speak up."

Chang Shan on the one side was attracted by this topic, and also recalled some things, "When Rongrong recognized Dui Gu as his father, it seems to be similar to the situation when he recognizes Brother Bai as his mother today?"

Hu Fang was taken aback. She was transferred from the three-district bureau at the beginning of this year, so she didn't know what happened last year. Hearing this, she raised her head curiously.

"Didn't the bureau talk about fluffy chick complex? Why is it almost the same?"

Chang Shan waved his hand: "What kind of fledgling complex? The first person I saw was Tang Ju, followed by the rest of the special case team. Gu Dui didn't come back from the scene until evening. But when he came over, before Fluffy, who likes not to answer anyone, immediately moved over, and has been sticking to Dui Gu ever since."

After hearing this, Su Bai raised his eyebrows, looked at Gu Xingzhou, and said deliberately: "If the blood of the monster cubs is relatively pure, they will be able to recognize their parents."

Gu Xingzhou glanced at Su Bai, and asked back, "He recognized you that way today, so are you really his mother?"

Su Bai was stunned for a moment, then denied San Lian: "Impossible, it's not me, and I have never laid eggs!"

A quick smile flashed across Gu Xingzhou's eyes, and then he added slowly: "Well, neither am I, I'm a human being."

Chang Shan summed it up for them: "So you are destined!"

Hu Fang also smiled meaningfully: "That's right, fate! No matter what, Rongrong has decided that Brother Bai will be his mother, so we will be a family sooner or later~"

At the end, he gave Gu Xingzhou a look of "Come on".

However, Gu Xingzhou didn't get the meaning of Hu Fang's eyes at all, and corrected him confidently with a face of integrity and confusion: "Don't talk nonsense, Rongrong is a 3-minute heat. I will take him to ride the rocking car tomorrow, just I don't remember anything."

Hu Fang: "What if he still remembers?"

Gu Xingzhou: "How is it possible?"

Hu Fang: "..."

OK.

You are the boss and you have the final say.

I hope you can still have such confidence tomorrow.

……

At ten o'clock in the evening, Su Bai and his party returned to the first branch office.

Fluffy fell asleep a long time ago, and was successfully transferred from Su Bai's arms to the soft cushion of the co-pilot, and was taken home by Gu Xingzhou.Chang Shan also went back to his rented house, only Hu Fang followed Su Bai into the sub-bureau.

Hu Fang's first reason is to fulfill the duty of "supervising" Su Bai, and the second reason is because of He Di, the human child she brought to the dormitory today.

They had almost finished their meal when she received a call saying that the child hadn't eaten at night and was very repulsed by people.So before Hu Fang left, she packed a cup of porridge in the hot pot restaurant and took it with her.

The lights in the dormitory area have been turned off, and the monsters are not allowed to leave the dormitory according to the regulations.

Everywhere is quiet.

When he arrived at the dormitory, Su Bai swiped the key card to enter, and found that in the dark room, there was a darker mass on He Di's bed.

Taking a closer look, it was He Di curled up against the wall and sitting on the bed.

"He Di."

Hu Fang didn't turn on the light of the phone, but just looked at He Di through the light outside the door.

He Di moved a bit, but didn't speak. On the contrary, he shrank a little into the corner.

Although Hu Fang looked careless, she was very keen. She saw He Di's movements and realized He Di's repulsion, so she didn't try to approach, and stood still and said: "I brought you some porridge, put it here Now, eat something when you are hungry. ——Don’t be afraid, I promise to contact your parents as soon as possible, and no more monsters will hurt you.”

He Di still didn't speak, and shrank a little to the corner of the wall again.

Hu Fang had no choice but to put down the porridge in her hand, and said softly to Su Bai: "Brother Bai, then I'll go first, please take care of He Di, and press the emergency call button beside the bed if you have any situation."

The dormitory in the training camp has multiple protections. There is a magic circle that prohibits the use of mana in the entire room. There is a barrier that only allows one person to enter each bed, and there is an emergency call button on the wall.

These are all means to prevent monsters from fighting and devouring each other.

Su Bai had been educated in the afternoon, nodded when he heard this, and sent Hu Fang away.

The door was closed again, and the room became even darker—but although Su Bai lost his mana, the physical quality of the ancestor was still there.

Therefore, even in the dark, Su Bai could roughly see He Di's movements clearly - he was curled up at the corner of the bed, his legs were covered by the quilt, his hands were folded in front of his chest, blocked by his bent legs, he couldn't see clearly.

Overall, it's a pretty insecure move.

Su Bai thought for a while, didn't make a sound, went straight to wash up briefly, and then rested.

After Su Bai's breathing became steady, He Di, who was curled up, slowly raised his head and raised his arms from his chest for a long time.

In the darkness, on the wrist of his left hand, which was tightly held by his right hand, strands of black silk fluff gradually drifted out, slowly overflowing from the cracks of his right fingers, like thick ink condensed in the air.

He Di looked at the strands of silk and let out a slight whimper, then moved his right hand, pressed his left wrist more tightly, curled up into a ball again, and remained still for a long time.
