The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 219 (Extra Chapter) (Old Age Illness)

After Fu-zai and Walnut left, the mornings at the Deer Man Shop continued as usual.

The four-legged fawn wrapped itself tightly in the quilt. The winter air, carrying sunlight, rushed into the room. The little fawn on the bed frowned and clenched its paws, leaving wrinkles on the corner of the quilt.

"Surprise! Guess what I've prepared for you today?"

The curtains at the door were suddenly thrown open, and a familiar brown and white figure twirled and leaped in, landing gracefully on one knee beside the bed!

The Rabbit God, with a flamboyant flick of his bangs, raised his head, a rose dangling from his mouth, his eyes glazed over, and murmured, "Four Fours~"

"Hey?! Fourth Brother, what's wrong with you, Fourth Brother?!"

The four-legged creature, lying on its side, curled up in pain, its brows furrowed, and the rapid breaths it exhaled colliding with the cold air outside, turning into white mist.

The rose fell to the ground, and Rabbit was so startled that he rushed over to check it in a flurry. The four-legged creature struggled to speak and asked Rabbit to help him up and lean against the bedside.

"Ouch, my back has been hurting for the past two days. It was okay the first two days, but this morning when I woke up, the pain was so bad that I didn't want to move at all."

Helped to lean against the headboard, the four-legged creature rubbed its waist with one claw, baring its teeth and wincing. The excruciating pain made it even more uncomfortable. Seeing this, Rabbit quickly grabbed a pillow and placed it under its waist.

"Phew~ That feels much better, thank you, Rabbit Master."

"Hey, don't mention it, we're all family, no need to be so polite." Rabbit Lord massaged the back of the four-legged creature, his claws applying gentle pressure, and the back pain symptoms were clearly relieved.

"Don't worry, Fourth Brother, I'll definitely find a way to cure you!"

"Actually, there's no need to go through all that trouble, don't waste your money, uh... never mind, whatever you want."

The four-legged creature was halfway through its story when it saw the Rabbit Lord's resolute expression, so it could only sigh and let the other party go.

……

Not two days later, Rabbit God rushed into the store with a black lumbar support, shouting, "Hey, this is a lumbar support I customized for you! Come and try it on!"

The four-legged creature was sitting in a chair rubbing its lower back. Upon hearing this, it looked up, and Rabbit immediately handed it over. "This contains a bionic spinal support system that can help relieve your back pain."

"So high-end?"

The four-legged creature raised its paw in surprise to take the item. Tianlu came over upon hearing the sound and stood to the side, tilting its head to observe curiously.

After a rustling sound, the Qilin stood up wearing a waist support. Its soft waist was concave, and its normal figure instantly became a slender waist that could be grasped in one hand. Tianlu burst out laughing on the spot!

"Pfft, hahaha, that little waist fairy is a strange creature!"

He laughed until tears streamed down his face, but the Qilin remained unmoved, merely raising its paw and bending its waist to feel the pain from the tight binding on its body being significantly relieved.

"Hmm, it's a little tight, but it's definitely much better now."

After getting the back brace, his condition improved significantly; his back pain subsided, and he was able to continue doing housework. Feeling refreshed after taking care of his two little darlings, the eccentric dragged Rabbit Lord out fishing.

It was early winter, and the mountain air was chilly; a gust of wind could send shivers down an animal's spine. In this weather, the backyard pond where they usually fished would quickly freeze over. Usually, the shop's little darlings would come out to skate around this time, and if they wanted to fish, they would first have to break through a section of the ice.

However, considering its current physical condition, the four-legged creature might have difficulty even going out, so it decided to take advantage of the fact that the weather is not yet particularly cold and the water has not yet frozen to enjoy some fishing.

……

The sun, radiating heat, disappeared from the sky without anyone noticing, and a layer of gray color spread across the sky. Snowflakes fluttered down, and it was foreseeable that the Caiyun Mountains would soon be covered in silver.

The Rabbit God raised his paw and caught a snowflake. The crystal-clear snowflake melted in his palm, revealing the arrival of winter.

"Sisi, it's snowing, let's hurry back."

"..."

"Four or four?"

After receiving no response for a long time, he turned around suspiciously. Amidst the swirling snow, the Qilin was bent over at a 45-degree angle, one paw supporting its waist. A vividly realistic mask of pain was on its face, and the sudden, intense pain in its back and waist made its face turn pale.

As it turns out, the four-legged creature overestimated its physical abilities. No need to wait any longer; it's already half-dead the moment it steps outside!

After enduring countless hardships and pains to return to the deer-man shop, the Qilin was already drenched in sweat and collapsed into a chair as if it had collapsed from exhaustion.

"Hey, Sisi, don't worry, I've prepared something else!"

Rabbit helped him sit down and then hurriedly ran to the side to rummage through boxes and cabinets.

The four-legged creature clutched its waist, catching its breath. Just as it recovered a little, a loud crashing sound came from beside it. Its body trembled as it turned its head reflexively and saw a futuristic-looking, obviously expensive massage chair placed on the ground by Rabbit Lord.

"This is an imported massage chair. I heard that lying on it can cure all kinds of diseases. Sisi, come and try it!"

Upon hearing this, the four-legged creature instinctively raised its paws, and then it was helped to sit in the massage chair. Rabbit Master pressed a button, and after a buzzing mechanical sound, the four-legged creature felt the mechanical rollers pressing against its lower back and moving left and right.

He closed his eyes and seemingly naturally placed his paws on the armrest. "Hmm, much more comfortable."

Rabbit Lord exclaimed in surprise, "Really? That's wonderful!"

The four-legged creature opened one eye and glanced at him through the gap in its mask.

Let's not worry him.

……

After the four-legged creature became seriously ill, all the work in the shop had to fall on the rabbit's shoulders. He had to handle multiple tasks, including dealing with customers and purchasing goods for them, keeping him extremely busy every day.

Furthermore, he also has his own businesses to manage, which leaves him with even less free time.

The shop was busy with some things and sick with others. It had been neglected for a long time and a layer of dust had settled on the floor. Two Pixiu, who had been idle and bored every day, came in handy at this time.

"The four-legged creature is sick, and Rabbit Lord is busy with work, so now I'm the only one who can support this family!"

Tianlu glanced around the dirty and messy shop. His pink paws were stained with a grayish color as he stepped on the floor, and there were still leftovers on the dining table.

This broken home made him realize that he couldn't continue to be so decadent!

"Actually, no one cooks anymore, and you probably think it's dirty, right?" Bai Jie walked into the house and asked the soul-searching question.

"Hey! Don't worry about the details! Anyway, this family now depends on me to be the pillar!"

Bai Jie curled his lip, seriously doubting the background of this pillar.

Isn't this like the Golden Cudgel, the pillar supporting the roof? It doesn't mean it's a magic staff that can stabilize the sea, but rather that it can be big or small, either not reaching the roof beam, or accidentally breaking through the ceiling!

……

Clang!

Shortly after, a loud noise rang out in the store, and the four-legged creature lying on the second floor painfully pulled the blanket over its head.

It's over! My shop is finished! By the time I recover, it'll be a ruin!

The deafening noises of demolition downstairs continued. The four-legged creature, its face ashen, pulled out an account book from the bedside table and picked up a pen with trembling hands.

"Tianlu, stop right there! Our debt is due to be repaid 500 years from now!"

A furious roar came from downstairs, followed by screams of agony and pleas for mercy.

The four-legged creature sighed and put down the ledger. The pain in his body made him not even have the strength to keep accounts.

Tired, destroy it.

Just then, a bluebird flew over, its lifeless eyes casting its gaze upon him. The screen, which resembled an eye, flickered twice, finally revealing a golden human figure.

The Bluebird is a common communication tool used in Heaven, serving both monitoring and communication functions. The little golden figure on the screen is the deity responsible for communicating with the Qilin (a mythical creature), commonly known as the boss.

"How have you been lately, you four-legged creature?" the little golden man asked gently.

"Not good, I can't even do my work now." The four-legged creature shook its head, one paw still supporting its waist.

"I see. Then let's go up to heaven." The little golden man nodded knowingly.

"Huh? You're going to treat me? It won't cost a lot, will it? My medical insurance shouldn't have expired yet, right?"

"Hmph, don't worry, I don't want your money. Hurry up and come on up." The little golden man smiled inexplicably, flicked his sleeves and left, and the screen went black.

Unable to comprehend the strange creature's reaction, a golden light descended from the sky, piercing through the roof and enveloping his entire body. A force appeared out of thin air, pulling him straight up to the upper realm.

Bang!

The ceiling was smashed through by the head of the strange creature that suddenly rose up, leaving a huge hole in the roof. Broken wood and blue tiles fell down with a clatter. This damn golden light was only responsible for guiding the way, not for dealing with obstacles along the way!

"Ouch! My shop!!"

The four-legged creature let out a cry of pain; its body ached, and its heart ached too.

"Where are you going, you four-legged creature?!"

The two brothers inside noticed the commotion and rushed out. Looking up, they were shocked to see the strange creature clutching its head and wailing in pain.

The four-legged creature also realized what was happening and quickly shouted, "Pipi and Xiaobai, watch the house! I'm going to heaven for a bit, I'll be back as soon as possible!"

The scenery beneath his feet grew smaller and smaller. The two Pixiu seemed to shout something, but he couldn't hear them anymore. All he could hear was the howling wind.

As the distance increased, the four-legged creature withdrew its gaze and followed the pulling force upwards.

Heavenly Court

Golden light shone brightly, and magnificent palaces and pavilions were built above the surging sea of ​​clouds. The ethereal atmosphere was so enchanting that even immortals flew by unnoticed, some riding horses or wielding magical treasures.

The clouds and mist on the ground parted, and the Qilin emerged, enveloped in golden light. Its hooves landed lightly, and the little golden man who had been waiting there for a long time stepped forward gracefully.

"Come with me, I'll take you to get treatment."
