I rushed upstairs in a hurry, opened the door and took a look, but I didn't see Xiao Man.
"Xiaoman, Xiaoman, what's wrong with you?" I shouted to her immediately.
"Dad, I'm here." The voice came from the direction of the toilet.
I hurried over and when I saw it, I was stunned.
This girl was squatting on the ground in front of the toilet, holding a mouse as long as chopsticks in her hand.
Yes, she picked up the mouse's neck with her hands and just held it in her hands.
Seeing that she was fine, I was relieved, walked over to her, and asked her, "You weren't bitten, were you?"
"No, Dad, look how cute it is."
I'm dizzy!
This was the first time I heard that mice are cute. When I saw this thing, I felt uncomfortable all over, especially for such a big mouse. I just felt goosebumps all over my body.
But this girl still had the guts to twist it in her hand. The key is how she caught this mouse?
I quickly went to get the trash can and said to her: "Here, put the mouse in, and dad will take it and throw it away."
"No, Dad, look how cute she is! Look, look..."
"This is a mouse, don't you recognize it?"
"We know him! Mickey Mouse."
"..."
"This is not Mickey Mouse. Throw it into the trash can. Hurry up."
Xiaoman pursed his lips angrily, somewhat reluctantly.
At this time, Boss Tang also rushed in and asked anxiously: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Boss Tang rushed over and saw the mouse in Xiaoman's hand. He was also startled. He instinctively took a step back and said, "Holy shit! Why is such a big mouse?"
"Boss Tang, why do you still have this thing in this inn?"
"I don't know! This is my first time meeting you."
I turned my head and rolled my eyes at Boss Tang, then patiently said to Xiao Man: "Xiao Man, throw it in quickly, dad is going to get angry."
Xiao Man pouted and reluctantly threw the mouse into the trash can. I quickly tied the bag and handed it to Boss Tang.
Boss Tang took a step back and said, "What are you doing?"
"Take it and throw it away! You are the owner of the inn. If this thing is found in your inn, aren't you responsible?"
"Okay, okay, I can throw it away."
Boss Tang took the garbage bag, held it far away, and ran out quickly.
Xiao Man, however, was still looking at the garbage bag in Boss Tang's hand, with a somewhat disappointed expression.
"I said Chen Xiaoman, you are a girl, aren't you afraid of mice?"
"Why should you be afraid? Rats are so cute!"
I'm speechless. This girl is bolder than a boy. She's only five years old!
I quickly asked her to wash her hands and wash them with soap and soap.
Then I asked her: "What was your name just now?"
"What a rat! It scared me. I saw it as soon as I opened the toilet door."
"Then how did you catch it?"
Xiao Man smiled and said: "I closed the toilet door, and then it couldn't escape."
I'm really impressed by this girl, she's too ambitious.
I smiled helplessly and said, "Xiao Man, do you know? Your mother is even afraid of bugs."
"I'm not afraid. I dare to play with spiders."
I took a breath and said, "What's going on with you little girl?"
"I'm not afraid! Why should I be afraid?"
This statement stopped me in my tracks, okay, if she’s not afraid, then she’s not afraid. I can’t let her be afraid of these animals, right?
After Boss Tang took out the mouse and threw it away, he wrenched a cat back from somewhere and said that he was no longer afraid of mice.
I came downstairs and asked Boss Tang: "Isn't there a cat in our inn? That's an authentic civet cat. Isn't it just for catching mice? Why did you bring another cat back?"
Boss Tang sighed softly and said, "I just suddenly thought that maybe because the flowers are gone, the mice have started to run rampant again."
"What do you mean? Huahua is gone?"
"Yeah, Huahua disappeared when you were in the hospital. Lingling and I searched for it for a long time. We asked all the merchants in the ancient town and couldn't find it."
That cat is quite cute. It usually hangs out in the yard and will meow "meow" when it sees people. Everyone likes it.
No matter how you say it's gone, it's gone. After all, it has feelings.
I sighed and said, "Maybe I went out to play. When it gets tired, it will come back by itself."
Boss Tang curled his lips and said, "I hope so. That cat was raised by my parents before they were alive. It's such a pity... Lingling even cried over this matter."
It's understandable, after all, this cat has been with them for so long, and it was left by their parents.
Boss Tang turned to me and said, "Oh, by the way, aren't you looking for a house? I asked you about it."
"So fast?"
Didn’t I just tell him this? How did he find it?
Boss Tang smiled confidently and said: "I'm kidding, who am I! Bai Xiaosheng in Anxi Ancient Town is my title, remember it."
"Yes, then tell me quickly where it is?"
"It's just over the East City Gate. The location is a bit out of the way, but it's a great place! When you open the window, you can see the Anxi River."
"Can I see the house now?"
"Yes! The landlords are all acquaintances and can check on the property at any time."
"Then please contact us and we'll go now."
Boss Tang nodded. At the same time, I called Cao Xiaoyu and told her that I had found a house for her and asked her to come with me to see if it was suitable.
After Boss Tang got in touch, I asked Tang Ling to look after Xiaoman for me, and then we went to the East City Gate with Boss Tang.
After waiting at the city gate for a while, Cao Xiaoyu came. Her condition now looks better than when I saw her in the afternoon.
She was also quite surprised and asked me: "Uncle, how did you find the house so quickly?"
I smiled, pointed to Boss Tang next to me and said, "We have an ancient town called Baixiaosheng here, and everything can be done."
Boss Tang answered: "Hey Xiaoyu! You are looking for a house, right? You come to me for this matter!"
Cao Xiaoyu smiled and nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Tang."
"Thank you, you're welcome."
We followed Boss Tang to the house he found. The location was indeed a bit out of the way, but it was still in the ancient town.
On the third floor, the decoration is a bit old, but the orientation, ventilation and lighting are good, and the appliances are complete, so you can move in with just your bags.
Anyway, I'm quite satisfied. I especially like the window sill in the bedroom. Just like Boss Tang said, you can see the Anxi River. It's absolutely beautiful when you open the window in the morning.
Of course, this should be the only advantage of this house.
Cao Xiaoyu looked around and said, "It's very good. How much does this house cost per month?"
"It's not expensive. This is not the center of an ancient town. If you want to confirm the rent, I can help you negotiate," Boss Tang said.
I also said: "Xiaoyu, don't think about the price for now. You are an intern now and you don't get much salary. I will help you pay this in advance."
"Uncle, this is not good! I have money."
Boss Tang answered again: "What's the matter with you girl? Someone is helping you pay, and you're still not happy!"
"I'm embarrassed to ask Boss Chen to pay."
I smiled and said, "If you're really embarrassed, just wait until you get paid and then pay it back to me. That won't be a problem."
"That's it, you have to make sure you rent it and you can move in today. I know the landlord well, so there will be no problem." Boss Tang continued.
Cao Xiaoyu smiled and said: "That...that's okay, thank you, Boss Chen, and thank you, Uncle Tang."
After confirming the situation, Boss Tang and I returned to the inn.
On the way back, An Lan suddenly called.
As soon as I answered her call, I heard a burst of crying...
