I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 31: Samurai Eat Grain, Birds Pecking Soil

Dong Yeyu waved his hand and asked, "Is everything okay at home today?"

"My lord is so brave and invincible, and his cultivation is so great. How dare some villains dare to offend his majesty? They are really overestimating their own abilities."

Xiuji first flattered the master, and then recited a long line learned from the Taiga drama.

"My Lord, since I took over the post of city governor, I have been extremely nervous and treading on thin ice, and I dare not slack off for a moment."

As it spoke, all the feathers on its body trembled, and its rough and old voice sounded very excited.

I probably feel great to put what I learned into practice.

"My Lord, please know that nothing major has happened today, but during the time of the demon, some villains dared to invade my territory and spy on my city."

"Xiu Ji refused to retreat, and I could no longer bear it, so I had to put on my armor and go out to fight. I never thought that he was a traitor, so I easily repelled him and failed to take his head. What a pity!"

After saying all this, it raised its head proudly, leaving Dongye Yugan stunned for half a second.

What do you mean?
Was there a dog monster coming to my house around 6 or 7 in the evening, or was this bird simply used to belittle the other party?

Well, with Xiuji's skills, he probably can't beat the dog monster, but he can probably beat a Chihuahua.

So it should be an adjective simply used to belittle the other person.

But a bird uses a dog to belittle other monsters.
Higashino Yu suddenly felt that this bird was a bit abstract, and began to doubt whether it was a wrong decision to agree to let it watch the Taiga drama?
This thought only lasted for a moment. When he heard that a monster was spying on his house, Dongye Yu suddenly felt uneasy as if he was being targeted by a thief.

"Xiao Xiao?"

How dare you snoop in my house? Could you be a monster or a thief?

Thief is a profession that does not discriminate based on race.

There are many human thieves, and naturally there are also many monster thieves. Some steal money, some steal food, some steal furniture, and some even steal yang energy and fortune, etc. It can be said that there are all kinds of thieves.

It’s okay to steal other things, such as yang energy and fortune. Basically, you have to get close to the owner of the house to steal them. If they dare to come, I will kill them.

But stealing money, food, and furniture is really private equity.

Food costs money and furniture also costs money, so food = money = furniture.

Stealing food and furniture is stealing my money. What's the difference between stealing my money and taking my life? !

The murderous hatred is irreconcilable!
When Dong Ye Yu thought that the treasures in his king's treasury were at risk of being stolen, he immediately became furious, and his hands were itching to fight.

"My Lord, it's a traitor from Yunqu Mountain, a crow monster of no consequence. It's like his brain was kicked by a donkey, and he has trouble speaking. He's a nobody and not worth mentioning."

Hearing that even Xiuji couldn't beat this monster, he felt a little relieved and asked, "Did it steal anything?"

Xiuji laughed confidently three times: "My lord, please rest assured that Xiuji will guard the city and nothing will go wrong."

Higashino Yu nodded slightly when he heard this and looked at Iori Miko who was dozing off on the small steps in front of the door.

"When did Yuko come here? Have you been here to protect her? Has anyone with bad intentions approached?"

"My Lord, Miss Iori came at 15:30. I was on duty at the border and was not distracted for even a moment. I did not see any evildoers."

"Well, good job."

Dong Yeyu praised it and lifted the shopping bag in his hand.

"I made a lot of money today by robbing the rich and giving to the poor. I bought you some corn, buckwheat and other grains as a reward for your loyal service tonight."

This dead bird of Xiuji is still useful sometimes, and it is worth thinking about it when I am shopping. "Ah? In this difficult situation when the treasury is empty, the lord actually remembers the food that Xiuji likes."

Xiuji opened his beak slightly, and his pair of black bird eyes instantly became moist. He wiped away the tears with his wings: "With such a great favor, I dare not not die for you."

"Keep your voice down! We're outside. I'm going to go see what's wrong with Yuko first. You hide and don't let anyone find you."

After giving the instructions, Higashino Yu walked towards Iori Miko.

Xiuji bowed again, then stretched his neck. His bird head seemed to be equipped with a gyroscope, following the swing of the shopping bag in Dongye Yu's hand, swallowing saliva in his throat.

Ever since human farmers began using mechanized farm tools, it has never enjoyed the pleasure of eating fresh grains again.

Xiuji still remembers that the last time he stood on a corn stalk and enjoyed eating corn was during the Showa period.

I had just reached adulthood at that time, and it has been almost thirty years now, right?

After that, most of the time I could only peck at some rice ears that fell into the fields during machine harvesting.

Every time the rice was pecked into its mouth, it was mixed with dirt. Only lowly stray birds would eat that kind of stuff!

Warriors should eat yellow, clean rice!
Oh, let me see what you have. Corn, buckwheat, and millet?!
There is sweet millet!

Onboard! My Lord, onboard!
Xiuji shouted excitedly in his heart, opened his beak, flicked his long tongue in the air, and flapped his wings until he disappeared into the night.

On the other side, Higashino Yu walked up to Iori Miko, squatted down and gently woke her up.

"Miko, open your eyes, I'm Tono Ni-san."

"Well"

Iori Miko slowly raised her head, her amber eyes as clear as gems were blurry for a moment before they focused.

His confused eyes fell on Dongye Yu's face, he blinked, and said in a soft and ethereal voice: "Welcome home, Dongye Nissan."

"Why did you fall asleep here? It rained tonight. You'll catch a cold if you sleep outside!"

Iori Miko pouted her lips slightly, lowered her head and looked around at the ground, as if looking for something.

"Yuko, what are you looking for? Brother Dongye will help you find it." Dongye Yu thought she had lost something, so he started looking for it too.

"Sleepyhead."

Iori Miko muttered and raised her little head in distress, but she looked at Higashino Yu with a very serious expression.

"That might have been because of the sleepyhead, a monster that makes people fall asleep. It must have escaped."

"Sleepyhead? I have actually seen this kind of monster before."

Higashino Yu recalled and indeed remembered that there was indeed a kind of insect in the monster world that could make people sleepy by sucking their essence, but it would not be fatal.

I had encountered this kind of monster when I was a child. It sneaked into an orphanage, probably wanting to suck the energy of the children, and was stepped on to death by me on the spot.

But with Xiuji's protection just now, Miko should not have been harmed by that monster.

Although Xiuji is not a powerful monster, he is still much stronger than the sleepyhead monster at the bottom of the food chain in the monster world. Once he is found, he is basically eaten as a snack.

"Have you seen Tono Nissan too?!"

When Iori Miko heard this, her butterfly-like eyelashes raised, and her misty eyes like Dongquan stared at Dongye Yu for a few seconds, flashing with a slight light, and her expression was as if she had found a like-minded person.
