What It’s Like Being a Vampire

According to the housewife, Mr. Li's hard work paid off. After asking various questions among the owners of the community and asking the property management staff for a long time, he finally found a man who was setting up a camera on the balcony to take pictures. One owner in Sunrise.

Although the owner did not live in their building, his house was also located on the edge of the community. From the camera he set up on the balcony and set up to automatically take photos, he found several photos of the "monster".

As soon as he received the photo, Mr. Li immediately sent the photo to the owner group of the community, and posted it to his Weibo and Moments, saying that he had found "evidence".

Of course, this is only the evidence that Mr. Li believes that the photo captured a "monster." In the eyes of others, the so-called monster marked by Mr. Li in the photo is just a small irregular shadow in the lower left corner of the entire photo, accounting for less than one-twentieth of the entire photo. , after all, the area that the owner of the camera wanted to take pictures of was not that area, it was just taken by the way.

Even if Mr. Li zoomed in specifically, he could only vaguely see a dark shadow appearing on the street outside the community in the early morning. It seemed to be the shadow cast by the street lamps and trees nearby.

Even if Mr. Li hadn't come to the door and zoomed in and marked it when looking through the photos, the person who set the camera to automatically take pictures would not have noticed anything strange in his photos.

However, even after seeing the photo, most people in the community were still skeptical. After all, the so-called monster in the photo was too unclear.

Moreover, when the camera automatically took pictures, it did not capture where it went afterward. It just disappeared completely after a certain picture.

"Mr. Li is an anchor, you know that he is a live broadcaster, right? He always has to keep looking for topics. My daughter watched his recent live broadcast and said it was about an urban legend theme, just making trouble, woo woo You know those things about hum, right? The theme of this period is the process of him investigating the monster he saw some time ago, and he was talking about it." The housewife said, lowering her voice: "So, we They all suspect that he might have forged it himself. In the past two weeks, he found the person who took pictures of the sunrise and sang the double act with him."

Another housewife also said with some worry: "Yes, yes, he wants to do the live broadcast to make money, gain attention, hype and so on, but if our community is really famous because of this, others will really think there is nothing strange. If we lose things, then our housing prices and rents will all be lost."

"Well, we can't let him do whatever he wants. We have to stop him from hyping things up." The housewife who introduced the situation to Shiling's mother nodded and said.

At this point, the elevator had already reached the floor where Liu Shiling and her daughter lived, and they got off the elevator first.

Walking down the aisle,

Shiling's mother looked at the photos that Mr. Li posted to the owner's group that the housewife had just sent to her WeChat, which were so-called evidence of the existence of the "monster".

Looking at the specially marked and enlarged shadow, Shiling's mother, who was still a little nervous and frightened, relaxed. The small group of things did not look like a scary thing, but when she saw it in the photo Looking at the postures of the dogs on the road outside the community, she felt that those things might really exist and were not completely photoshopped.

"Mom, let me take a look." Liu Shiling stretched her neck and looked at her mother's mobile phone and said.

Since she didn't think it was something scary, Shiling's mother didn't refuse and handed the phone to her daughter.

After Liu Shiling saw the photo, she was also secretly relieved. That night, she unintentionally used the two coin knights of "chocolate" and "ice cream" to wrap up a pile of fine particles to construct the eight-armed pet of the bald uncle to scare away the wild dogs. However, after being seen by the people upstairs, she separated from him. That day, I secretly found time to use QQ to connect videos and reported it to my bald uncle.

After the bald uncle asked about the situation, he told her not to worry. She didn't show up and others didn't know it was her, so it didn't matter. But it’s okay to keep a low profile during this period and not let people associate her with the granular version of the “eight-armed pet” gathered together with coins.

Looking at this photo now, it is so far away and so blurry that the outline cannot be clearly seen. It is even less possible to see the two coins under the fine particles. And if the coins cannot be seen, even if there is this photo to prove that If a monster does appear at night, there is no way to contact her.

It would be nice if it wasn't exposed... The little fat girl let out a long breath.

"Does it look like a standing black crab?" Shiling's mother said with a smile, leaning over her daughter's head.

"It's not a crab!" Liu Shiling said subconsciously and decisively.

Shiling's mother was surprised: "It just looks like it, otherwise what do you think it looks like?"

"It's just...it's just..." Liu Shiling muttered twice, thought for a while, and then said: "It's not a crab anyway. Crabs lie down, not upright."

Shi Ling's mother didn't think much about it, thinking that her daughter thought it was troublesome to eat crabs, and she simply didn't like crabs... this kind of seafood, so she said this.

After returning home and finishing her meal, Liu Shiling took the painting given to her by "Big Deer" and returned to the room with "Egg Yolk Pie" who had also finished eating the cat food.

Sitting at the table, Liu Shiling took out the "eight-armed pet" portrait of her bald uncle that she had drawn a few days ago.

This painting is no longer the first version. Two weeks ago, she saw the eight-armed and eight-eyed monster for the first time in her dream. After knowing that it was the pet of her bald uncle, she drew the first version of the image based on the memory in the dream. I have redrawn several versions in the past few days, made a lot of modifications, and re-created and processed it. The details have been enriched and the overall design has become more refined.

Although Liu Shiling's paintings are not very good, they are still pretty good among children of her age. She was praised honestly in kindergarten. At least everyone can tell that the things she painted are paintings. What.

Originally she thought her painting was pretty good, but when she placed the painting given by "Big Deer" next to her and compared it, the difference was too obvious.

In the past, Liu Shiling would not have felt that she had to be as good at painting as others. She was a great magician, so it would be fine if she knew magic. In the future, she would have to fight monsters with her bald uncle and grilled chicken wing sister, and she would not be able to draw enough. It doesn’t matter if it looks good.

But when she thought about her mother just saying that the eight-armed pet she built with "chocolate" and "ice cream" looked like a crab. One of the two aunts in the elevator said it looked like the shadow of a tree, and the other said it looked a bit like an octopus. A little depressed - obviously in her mind, the eight-armed pet she constructed should be particularly majestic. How could it be a tree, octopus and crab?

Looking at the "eight-armed pet" drawn on the paper, she felt that the problem should be with this "design draft". It was her insufficient drawing skills that caused the final "eight-armed pet" to be constructed without momentum and not at all. Not imposing.

Liu Shiling took out a new piece of paper and began to draw again. This time she drew more cognitively and meticulously.

"Egg Yolk Pie" climbed up on the desk and lay next to Liu Shiling, holding his two front paws, dozing off while painting with his little master.

This time Liu Shiling drew very carefully, first outlining the outline with a pencil, and then coloring it with watercolor pens, bit by bit, to outline the majestic eight-armed pet in her imagination.

After the painting was completed, Liu Shiling took a look at it, wrinkled her eyebrows, and then stood the painting up in front of the "Egg Yolk School" and asked: "Egg Yolk School, does this painting look like it?"

Egg Yolk Pie shrank his neck, opened his mouth slightly, looked at the painting, and then at Liu Shiling, his eyes round.

"By the way, you've never seen the bald uncle's pet." Liu Shiling sighed, put down the painting, took out a few paper towels, and began to tear them into very small pieces.

Egg Yolk Pie came over, sniffed the pile of "paper scraps", and then sneezed and blew the pile of confetti away.

Looking at the confetti flying in the sky, Liu Shiling stared helplessly at Egg Yolk Pie. This was not the first time that this guy had been made to sneeze by confetti, but every time she prepared confetti, it still came to join in the fun, and it would not change its habit. , like a skinny kid.

Liu Shiling controlled two coins to circle rapidly in the room, and then soon, the scattered scraps of paper were gathered together, and then began to build shapes.

Yes, Liu Shiling wants to use these very small paper scraps to replace the metal scraps outside to build an "eight-armed pet".

These days, she adheres to her bald uncle's principle of "keeping a low profile, not exposing herself, and not being discovered". She no longer dares to use coins to build the "eight-armed pet" outside. Instead, she plays secretly at home - being able to do whatever she wants. Constructing such a "monster" to be the devil and simulating a battle, how could she resist playing it?

She originally wanted to secretly bring some sand back from outside in batches with two magic coins, put it in her pocket, bring it back quietly without anyone noticing, and then play in the room.

But she finally managed to get it back after a few days. Before she had time to play, she came back from the interest class the next day and found that all the fine sand that she had worked so hard to smuggle back was gone. It turned out that my mother found it and cleaned it up.

Shiling's mother was particularly attentive to cleaning Liu Shiling's room, especially after having egg yolk pie. This made Liu Shiling quite distressed. After thinking about it for a while, she came up with the idea of ​​using scraps of paper towels instead.

It is actually much more difficult to make the shape of the "eight-armed pet" from the scraps of paper affected by the coins. The basic construction method is very different, and it is soft and seems to fall apart at any time, but it is still playable.

The most important thing is that the paper scraps are easy to clean up. After cleaning them up, you can make them again next time you want to play. You don’t have to work hard to smuggle them from outside and be easily discovered by your mother.

Of course, the "eight-armed pet" made of paper scraps or metal scraps at home is not as big as the one made outside for the first time, shrinking to only more than thirty centimeters tall.

Looking at her newly constructed "eight-armed pet", Liu Shiling squatted in front of it, supported her chin, frowned and observed, not in the mood to play anymore, because it really looked...a bit like an upright crab.

The design draft is not good!

Not well built either!

"Great Magician" Liu Shiling took a very annoyed breath and blew away the "eight-armed pet" in front of her. Behind him, Yolk Pie, who was half-lying on the ground, slowly approaching the "Eight-Armed Pet" in a hunting posture, looked at the confetti that suddenly sprayed away, and meowed in fright, jumping to the bottom of the table.

However, although the scraps of paper were blown away, they did not float everywhere. Instead, under the control of Liu Shiling's two coins, they gathered together again, huddled up, and returned to the table.

Liu Shiling threw the paper scraps into the trash can, then went to the living room and said to her mother, who was frowning at something on her cell phone: "Mom, mom, I want to learn to draw."

Hearing her daughter's voice, Shiling's mother was stunned for a moment, looked up at Liu Shiling, and asked doubtfully: "Aren't you always painting?" Then she remembered something and suddenly said: "You saw Zhou Lutong sent it to you. Painting, so you also want to learn painting? But... you are taking a literacy class now?"

Liu Shiling said: "I also need to take literacy classes. I can take painting classes in the afternoon." Literacy is very important, and she still has a lot of knowledge to learn. According to the bald uncle's explanation, the great magician needs too much knowledge.

However, after hearing this, a flash of hesitation flashed across Shiling's mother's face. After thinking for a while, she seemed to have made a decision. She was about to say yes when she heard her daughter say: "Mom, I'd better not do it first." I’m going to a painting class, you teach me how to draw, you teach me how to draw an egg yolk pie!”

Shiling's mother was a little surprised and said with a smile: "But mom is not good at painting."

Liu Shiling said with certainty: "The egg yolk pie my mother painted last time was very beautiful! I will learn my mother's painting first, then go to my bald uncle to learn from it, then learn from Xiao Aesthetics, and then Dalu. After the kindergarten starts, I can also find a teacher." Learn! I want to learn everyone’s martial arts...not, um, painting skills..."

Seeing the back of Liu Shiling returning to the room, and the egg yolk pie entering the room like a follower, Shiling's mother also breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, because of the previous sale of the house and the previous savings, the economy was very relaxed. Even if one person could train Liu Shiling to go to college, there would be no problem. But something happened recently that made her start to be careful about her expenses and try to reduce unnecessary expenses as much as possible.

Enrolling Liu Shiling in a hobby class is not cheap. She has already enrolled in a literacy class. Signing up for a painting class will really make her hesitate, especially because she is worried that if Liu Shiling becomes popular for five minutes, she will lose interest after a short time. , that would be such a waste.

However, after thinking about it for a while, she decided to agree to Liu Shiling and sign her up for a painting class. The painting sent by Zhou Lutong was really good. When she saw it before, she was really shocked. If her daughter could reach this level, she would have a specialty in school in the future and win a prize or something. It should be easier to get into higher education, and she didn't want to dampen any of her daughter's interests.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shiling suddenly changed her mind and asked her to teach. She probably didn't want to run interest classes all the time. This girl seemed a bit homely now and always liked to stay in her room and play house and iPad.

But teaching painting by herself made Shiling's mother feel a little guilty. She had never learned to paint before. She had just painted a "yolk style" cat portrait. According to her own opinion, the painting was actually very average.

So after seeing the door to Liu Shiling's room closed again, Shiling's mother opened the mobile browser and started searching for keywords such as "teaching her daughter to draw" and "children's quick drawing".

Liu Shiling in the room was holding an IPAD, went to QQ, looked for the avatar of her bald uncle, and prepared to ask her bald uncle how to learn to draw.

She actually felt her mother's embarrassment and hesitation just now, so she changed her mind temporarily and did not go to the painting class.

If it were Liu Shiling in the past, she would not have discovered this. At that time, the only things she was thinking about were: I want to eat this, I want to play with that, I want to play with XXX, I want to watch XXX cartoons, and that is like It’s fun, that one seems delicious, those kids are having so much fun playing together, I want to play with them, the cartoon is so good, I want to watch it...

She only has enough attention to pay attention to these. Her little head can't hold other thoughts, and she doesn't know how to understand other people's feelings.

But since she got the "magic coin", became the "Great Magician", and felt the responsibility on her shoulders, she began to pay more attention to the people around her, and the one she paid the most attention to was her mother, who spent time with her day and night.

In addition to destroying monsters with her bald uncle and grilled chicken wing sister in the future, the most important reason why she strives to become stronger is to protect and take care of her mother.

Well, by the way, protect the world.

She noticed that when she wanted to eat when she was out on the street recently, her mother sometimes hesitated and felt a little embarrassed. Every time at this time, she would change her request, either saying that she was not hungry anymore, or saying that she did not want to eat this anymore, or saying that she wanted to go home and watch the egg yolk pie instead of eating outside.

Liu Shiling still doesn't understand the money issue, and she doesn't know why her mother is hesitant and embarrassed. She simply doesn't want her mother to feel that way.

So when she saw her mother's expression and hesitation, she immediately knew that her mother was in trouble, and immediately changed her request.

But the plan and idea of ​​learning to draw has not changed.

Today she added a new requirement to the "Great Magician": be good at painting!
