Little Monster Manor

Chapter 16

slam-la-

An auditory hallucination appeared in Lu Xingmang's ears. He didn't know if it was the sound of heartbreak or the sound of money flowing away.

Lu Xingmang forced himself to cheer up, and negotiated with Captain Groundhog: "The gate of the scenic spot does not need to be silently constructed!"

In the last fee list, there was a large amount of money for the sound-absorbing construction fee, and Lu Xingmang wanted to save this money.

Captain Groundhog: "Sorry, we only have the option of silent construction."

"We must do our best, we are a construction team with craftsman spirit!"

Lu Xingmang: "The building materials for the gate of the scenic spot can be cheaper!"

Captain Groundhog: "I'm sorry, we are a construction team with the spirit of craftsmanship!"

Lu Xingmang's request was all rejected.

Woooooooooooooo... the spirit of craftsmanship is really too expensive!

The only consolation is that the finished gates and ticket booths are as beautiful as the bills.

The big rusty iron door turned into a shiny brass door. Captain Groundhog said to Lu Xingmang, "This special material will never rust and won't get any stains."

Captain Groundhog dug a lump of dirt from the ground and tried to smear it on the gate.The soil slid down one after another, leaving no trace on the gate.

The same goes for the ticket booth.

The brand-new and floodlit gates and ticket booths instantly transform the dilapidated scenic spot into a new look, and the atmosphere is quite different.

During the live broadcast the next day, Lu Xingmang and Jiang Yao took the audience to see the newly built gate of the scenic spot, and the audience immediately guessed that they were going to receive tourists.

"Ahhh! Have you finally waited for this day?"

"Great, I rushed over as soon as it opened!"

"How many buses should I take to go to Qixi Valley?"

The enthusiastic response from the audience in the live broadcast room gave Lu Xingmang and Jiang Yao great confidence.

They thought that the scenic spot was about to make money, and they were full of motivation to do the work. When cleaning the tourist square and the roads of the scenic spot, they hummed happily.

Lu Xingmang and Jiang Yao were busy cleaning the scenic spot, the groundhog construction team also left, and the workers' dormitory was filled up again without leaving a trace.

Long Li is extremely bored, so she can only look for Jiaojiao every day.

But playing with my younger sister is also very boring. My younger sister just hides in the water and spits bubbles, while Long Li sighs while standing by the stream.

A turtle swam by the stream, and Long Li swallowed it in one gulp.Recently, my father is too busy to make snacks for him, so Long Li can only find some snacks by himself in the creek.

The moment Long Li swallowed the turtle, the water in the brook churned.

Jiaojiao swam up from the bottom of the stream suddenly, her shiny tail slapped on the surface of the water, splashing water all over Long Li's face.

Long Li wiped her face with her paws and was very happy. It was the first time that her sister came out of the water to play with it!

After Jiaojiao emerged from the water, she immediately turned around, facing Longli with her back, and facing it with the back of her head.

"That...that's my friend!"

Jiaojiao's voice was too low for Longli to hear clearly. It kicked its legs and flew to the other side of the creek, wanting to see its sister's face.

With tears in his eyes, Jiaojiao desperately restrained his urge to hide under the water, and said in the loudest voice, "The turtle you swallowed is my friend!"

Long Li was stunned.

It lowered its head: "Cough cough cough... Poof!"

The tortoise was spit on the ground by it, with its shell facing down, its four feet up in the air, and its four legs were kicking around.

Long Li picked up the tortoise with a look of disgust, and threw it into the brook to rinse it off: "Here, my friend will return it to you."

The tortoise friend was safe and sound, and Jiaojiao immediately hid back to the bottom of the water.

Long Li was not happy anymore, so he jumped onto the turtle's shell, which was not too big. Long Li tried hard to squeeze his four paws together to barely stand up.

It lowered its head and shouted at the pepper at the bottom of the water.

"Hey, you still have friends?"

Long Li looked at the little tortoise he stepped on with disgust, the tortoise's shell was dusty: "Why do you make friends with it?"

Jiaojiao poked her head out of the water, and pointed the back of her head at Longli.

It just saw the turtle friend being swallowed by Long Li, so it came up to talk to Long Li out of desperation.Jiaojiao found that... it seems, it's not particularly scary?After all, it is already very familiar with Longli.

After the first time, it is much easier for the pepper to surface the second time.In fact, it has always felt that it is not polite to spit bubbles at the bottom of the water, so it bravely showed its small head and answered the brother's question: "Because we all have shells."

Long Li was not used to talking to the back of his head, so he flew back to the other side of the creek.

Jiaojiao immediately turned 180 degrees, and continued to point the back of his head at Longli: "Don't look at me..."

Long Li: "Okay."

Long Li looked down at the tortoise, stretched out his small paw and tapped on the tortoise's shell: "It's your friend, so am I your friend?"

Jiaojiao whispered, "Are you my brother?"

Long Li was very satisfied with this answer, and the little wings hidden in the fur stretched out and flapped lightly twice.

"Then when you talk to it, do you always point the back of your head at it?"

Pepper: "No..."

Long Li frowned: "Huh?"

Jiaojiao: "When the turtle is next to me, it will retract its head into its shell, and it doesn't look at me."

Long Li suddenly realized: "You don't like being watched?"

Jiaojiao nodded: "Well... when others look at me... I feel very uncomfortable."

Long Li was in a bit of a dilemma, it didn't have a shell, so it couldn't retract its head into the shell.

Suddenly, Long Li flew high, towards the cabin.

After Longli flew away, Jiaojiao floated above the water from the waist up, looking up at Longli, who was getting smaller and smaller in the sky, with tears in his eyes.

When the eldest brother knew it was such a little mermaid, he left immediately.

It must look very unpleasant.

It's not the big brother's fault, it's because it can't even talk face to face...

Jiaojiao hugged Agui and slowly sank to the bottom of the water.

One, two, three... small pearls slipped from the corners of Jiaojiao's eyes and embedded in the cracks in the rocks at the bottom of the water.

After a while, Long Lifei came back: "Look! I also have a shell!"

When Jiaojiao heard the sound, she floated up from the bottom of the water in disbelief, and took a quick look at Long Li before turning her head away.

In this quick glance, Jiaojiao saw that Long Li had brought back a big baseball cap, which was Dad's baseball cap.

Long Li put the baseball cap on the ground, lifted the brim with her little claws, got into the baseball cap, and talked to Jiaojiao through the small hole in the back of the cap.

"Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for you? I can't see you anymore."

Where Long Li could not see, a series of small pearls fell silently into the stream.

Long Li said to Jiaojiao: "You don't like being looked at by others, so don't allow others to look at you!"

"It's so boring to always hide under the water. It's so beautiful outside. There are different scenery in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Have you seen it?"

Jiaojiao shook her head in shame, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, have you seen them all?"

Long Li has never seen spring, and he only saw a tail in summer, and he was too young at that time, so he doesn't remember it now.

Long Li only remembers autumn and winter, but he is too embarrassed to admit it to his sister, so he hastily changed the subject.

"I'll teach you, if someone looks at you in the future and makes you feel uncomfortable, just do it..."

After listening carefully, Jiaojiao asked in a low voice, "Is this okay?"

Long Li said loudly, "Of course!"

"You just do what I teach you, don't always hide in the water by yourself."

Jiaojiao: "Okay...then I'll try later..."

Long Li became the closest person to Jiaojiao, far surpassing Lu Xingmang and Jiang Yao.

Long Li put the baseball cap on himself, and Jiaojiao was able to communicate with it freely.

This baseball cap originally belonged to Jiang Yao, but now it is given to Long Li.

Lu Xingmang bought an embroidered cloth sticker with a cartoon dragon pattern and pasted it on the baseball cap, indicating that the hat belonged to Long Li.

Long Li happily chased his tail around in circles.

Lu Xingmang was very happy that Longli and Jiaojiao got along well.

Before Long Li stretched out his paws to scoop up Jiaojiao in the creek, and almost scared Jiaojiao to death, Lu Xingmang was always worried about the discord between the two cubs. What to do if a child is in a bad mood."

Seeing that Longli and Jiaojiao had found a suitable way to get along, Lu Xingmang was greatly relieved.

However, Jiang Yao's favorite for Jiaojiao is his eldest brother, not his father, which is a little hard to accept.

Jiang Yao couldn't ask Jiaojiao, he spoke louder beside the stream, and Jiaojiao's mood value would drop.If you ask "Why isn't your favorite daddy?", I'm afraid you will scare Jiaojiao to death.

So Jiang Yao grabbed Long Li's tail and asked every day, "Do you prefer sister or father?"

"Do you prefer Papa Jiang or Papa Lu?"

Long Li is too troublesome!

Hide when you see Jiang Yao!

A few days later, Long Li carefully avoided Jiang Yao, and asked Lu Xingmang, "Dad, can we move into the stone house in the valley?"

Lu Xingmang asked in surprise, "Why? Don't you like the current cabin?"

Long Li said, "I want to live closer to my sister."

"The stone house is next to the creek, and I can see my sister from the window."

Lu Xingmang was very happy that Long Li thought so: "But my sister wants us to move into a stone house?"

"Sister likes to be quiet, will you feel disturbed?"

Long Li shook her head: "My sister said that she likes to see us."
