Chapter 312 The Raven's Deception
Chapter 312 The Raven's Deception
When she doesn't have to go to the Xie Zhi's place for classes, Walnut goes out to play and sometimes helps with housework to earn pocket money.
Regardless of whether Walnut does chores or not, the Four-Faced Beast and Rabbit Lord will give him pocket money, because he's still a little kid.
Walnut just wanted to buy so many things: glass marbles, food, drinks...
The four-legged creatures (a type of animal) give little pocket money, so in order to buy what they want, Walnut can only help with housework to earn more money.
"Walnut, I'm entrusting this strange blanket to you. Make sure to clean all the hair off it."
Rabbit God brought two quilts and handed them to Walnut, then whispered a few words in Walnut's ear.
Walnut happily raised his little paws, as if he could already see his allowance beckoning to him: "Don't worry, Walnut is super skilled."
Seeing that Walnut had taken on the housework, Shota quickly turned around to leave, otherwise he would be forced to help.
But Walnut seemed to have eyes in the back of her head, turning around and grabbing Shota's tail: "Shota, we're good friends, so you'll help Walnut with the housework, right!"
"But I don't want to do housework, I want to..."
"No, you want!"
After much pleading and cajoling from Walnut, Shota had no choice but to agree to help Walnut with the housework.
Because of their size, putting the quilt on the clothes rack is still quite a challenge for Walnut and Shota.
However, thanks to the collaboration between Walnut and Shota, they still managed to air out the blankets for the Four-Faced Beast and Rabbit God.
"Is this okay?"
Shota looked at the blanket under the sun and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Walnut stopped him again: "Wait, we haven't gotten any fur yet!"
"Stuck with fur?!"
Seeing that Shota seemed not to understand, Walnut demonstrated.
Walnut brought over two lint removers and handed one to Shota: "Watch carefully."
Walnut rolled the lint roller on the four-legged creature's blanket, then pointed to the yellow fur on the roller and said, "The four-legged creatures shed a lot. If we don't clean it up, Rabbit Lord won't give us a reward."
"I see." Shota looked enlightened and then carefully followed Walnut to clean the hair off the blanket.
Just then, Shota noticed that the pink blanket of the four-legged creature had a rabbit pattern printed on it, while the pattern on the Rabbit God blanket resembled the claws of the four-legged creature.
Shota felt like he had discovered a tremendous secret, but before he could think too much about it, Walnut tugged at Shota's arm.
"By the way, Pipi also often sleeps in a bed that doesn't look like a quaint place. His white fur is hard to spot, so you have to carefully stick it on."
"Well, I see."
"There's one more thing. If you run into Black Hair, collect it and give it to me separately."
"why?"
Shota didn't quite understand Walnut's intention. Hao Chen had the most black fur in the entire Deer Man Shop, so why was Walnut collecting Hao Chen's fur?
"You're so stupid." Walnut proudly raised its head: "Let me tell you, Haochen's fur is very valuable."
"I'm telling you, you absolutely mustn't tell Haochen, or I'm dead."
Seeing Walnut's serious expression, Shota's curiosity was instantly piqued.
Shota patted his chest and assured Walnut that he definitely wouldn't talk nonsense: "Walnut, tell me quickly, why do you say Haochen's fur is valuable?"
Seeing that Shota was interested, Walnut stopped keeping him in suspense: "Hehe, Haochen's fur is valuable because he always steals things from the animals in the mountains, but those animals can't beat him."
"So some animals came to Meimei to buy Haochen's fur, but Meimei was worried about offending Haochen, so she asked me to help collect Haochen's fur and then split the money with me."
With Shota's intelligence, he quickly figured out why the animals bought Haochen's fur.
Shota tentatively asked, "So, those animals that bought Hao Chen's fur went home and made the fur look like Hao Chen to vent their anger on him?"
"Wow, you actually knew that?" Walnut said in disbelief.
However, Walnut soon sighed, "It's a pity that Haochen doesn't shed much, so it takes a long time to collect it each time. Also, my godfather asked me for Haochen's hair this time, so I can't use it to make money."
Walnut's words seemed to open the door to a new world for Shota, who never knew that he could make money in this way.
"You're never too old to learn," Shota remarked, quickening his pace.
Soon, with Shota's help, Walnut successfully completed the task of airing out the quilt.
Looking at the neatly arranged fur in front of him, Walnut excitedly muttered, "The fur of the four-legged creature goes to Rabbit Lord, Rabbit Lord's fur goes to the four-legged creature, Pipi's fur goes to Treasure-Spitting Mouse, and Haochen's fur goes to Godfather this time."
"All done! Let's go get our little money!" Walnut pulled Shota along to find Rabbit God, and soon Walnut got 10 yuan from Rabbit God.
Walnut had his eye on the glass ball in Crow's hand for a long time, but he didn't have enough money before. Now that he did, he naturally wanted to spend some money: "Shota, let's go find Crow and buy the glass ball!"
When Shota saw that Walnut wanted to buy a glass marble, and suggested he go to Crow to buy it, he had a bad feeling and quickly shook his head to refuse.
Furthermore, Shota was afraid that Walnut would be deceived, so he tried to persuade Walnut not to go: "Crow and his gang are very cunning. You will be deceived if you go."
Shota had heard of Crow's reputation; he'd heard it was even worse than Haochen's, that Crow not only liked to cheat customers but also to steal.
"No way, I know them all very well. If you don't want to go, fine, I'll go by myself." However, Walnut didn't believe Shota's words and scolded Mrs. Shota for being careful.
Seeing that Walnut didn't believe him, Shota had no choice but to advise Walnut not to spend all the money. He couldn't very well tie Walnut up, so he could only tell Walnut not to spend all the money.
As for whether Walnut listened to the advice, Shota didn't know. He could only pray that Walnut was smart enough not to be fooled by the crow.
"Shota, what are you daydreaming about? Are you thinking about your childhood sweetheart?"
The sudden sound startled Shota. When he turned around and saw it was Haochen, Shota glared at Haochen and said irritably, "Why do you walk so quietly? You almost scared me to death."
Hao Chen seemed to be in a good mood, and even had the idea of teasing Xiang Tai. He pinched Xiang Tai's cheek and said, "Haha, it's okay if you're scared to death. I'm quite familiar with Di Ting. Getting you out of there won't be a problem."
"However, you are not a beast here, so it is unknown whether you will be under the jurisdiction of Di Ting after you die."
Shota completely ignored these comments, and was even somewhat speechless. He was only in his fifties, and it was so unlucky to talk about death. Besides, he was still a single fox, and he should at least get married first.
When Hao Chen saw that Xiang Tai was silent again, he suddenly felt that it was not good for the fluffy creature to be too mature. It was not fun at all. His blushing tiger was much more fun.
"By the way, Shota, you still haven't told us what you're thinking about? You're not really thinking about Fuku-chan, are you?"
Hao Chen quickly steered the conversation back to the previous question, which was that he really wanted Xiang Tai to change his target.
While you're still stuck in unrequited love, Walnut has already won over Fuzai and is just waiting to bring him back to get married. How can you even play along now?
Shota didn't see the sympathy that Haochen inadvertently showed in his eyes.
Regarding the matter of skipping over the walnuts to collect Hao Chen's hair to make money, Shota told Hao Chen about the walnuts buying glass marbles from the crows.
"Haochen, could you go check on Walnut? I'm afraid he's been fooled by the crow."
Hao Chen had no reason to refuse Xiang Tai's request, especially since it involved his "nephew," and readily agreed to take care of He Tao.
On the other side, Walnut found Crow and went straight to the point: "Walnut wants an extra-large glass marble, here's the money!"
The crow saw that Walnut was still a small child and didn't seem very smart, so its mind immediately became active.
The crow readily accepted the money and brought walnut a large glass marble: "Cash on delivery, no returns or exchanges."
Walnut took a liking to the glass marbles at first sight and was very satisfied with the transaction.
However, when Walnut hid the glass marble in the feathers on its back right in front of the crow, this action immediately convinced the crow that Walnut was not smart.
"Walnuts have glass beads inside, so you'll never have to worry about food or drink!"
"Scratching his toes during the day, scratching his head at night!"
Walnut happily went home with the glass ball, completely unaware that a crow was slowly flying behind him.
Just at the critical moment, the crow swooped down and accurately grabbed the glass ball that the walnut was hiding on its back with one claw.
"Got it, what an idiot!"
Just as the crow stole the glass ball, it suddenly appeared in front of Haochen.
Looking at the bewildered crow in front of him, Hao Chen grinned: "Crow, you actually stole from my nephew? Have you thought about how you want to die?"
"Nephew?! You mean that little white cat?"
Crow knew Haochen, but he was unaware that Haochen's nephew was Walnut.
Even Crow thought Hao Chen was obviously deliberately picking a fight. You're saying a canine nephew is a feline? Don't be ridiculous.
As an expert in robbery, Hao Chen could tell that Crow was up to no good and was probably plotting against him.
Hao Chen responded directly, beating up the crow on the spot, plucking all its feathers, and taking back the glass marble from the walnut.
"If you dare to swindle me again, I'll eat you like a roast chicken. Get out of here."
After getting the glass ball back from Walnut, Hao Chen was already thinking about how Walnut could repay him. After all, the glass ball looked "valuable," and a simple thank you wasn't enough.
However, this matter is not urgent. What is more important to Hao Chen is how to get through this eternal night calamity and even completely eliminate the threat from its source.
"Now that my body has returned, it is time to reclaim the other scattered powers."
Meanwhile, Walnut looked anxious and kept fiddling with its fur.
"Is it really gone? That can't be. I always hide it in the fur on my back."
"Please help me look for it again. How could it just disappear like that?"
Walnut wanted to show off his glass marble to Shota, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find it on his person, and his mood immediately soured.
Shota meticulously examined every hair on Walnut's body, as if searching for fleas, but the result was already predetermined: "Hmm, there really isn't any."
Upon hearing the result, Walnut's eyes welled up with tears. This was a glass marble that he had worked hard to earn money to buy, and it was lost before he even started playing with it.
Shota was also helpless about this: "I told you long ago that crows are cunning, but you didn't believe me. Now look what happened."
