Volume 1: Experiences Chapter 0018: Two scumbags
"Oh, is it?" Renard raised his hands and looked at his clothes, which were very decent, very in line with his style: "It's really good, but it's a little more expensive." ”
"He is the most handsome and beautiful man in Fort Saint-Brieu, and he looks perfect in this outfit. Ben patted the sycophants at the right time, and although he held the iron signature in both hands, he still tried to give two thumbs up.
Renard's cheeks twitched slightly, and the other party slapped the horse's ass very explicitly, which gave him goosebumps all over his body, but when he tasted it carefully, it felt really good to be praised.
But he was a pragmatic man, and instead of dwelling on sycophants, he began to ponder a crucial question: "What about this Tamara, I mean temperament." ”
Ben thought for a moment, and replied with some uncertainty: "I heard that she is a kind person, but sometimes she loses her temper. ”
"Sometimes?" Renard instinctively stopped, his brows raised slightly, and stared intently at the dogleg beside him: "Sometimes when?"
Ben was a little weak by him, and only replied after a while: "For example...... Right now. ”
As he spoke, he raised the iron skewer in his hand and unreservedly displayed the half-cooked piece of roast meat in front of Renard.
"Ahh ”
The dog swallowed with difficulty, and did not speak, but hesitated a little when he took steps.
Vanilla Street is very quiet, after all, this is a rich area, there are no stinky ditches and muddy ponds, no hawkers and vendors, and when you enter it, the noisy sound stops abruptly, as if you have entered a different space.
Ben and Renard walked along the clean and tidy streets, and from time to time the two would see the revelations of the pet search, and the dense notices clearly showed the eagerness of the owner.
The animals depicted on the signs resemble the large teddy dogs on Earth, but with a very vicious appearance.
"If you are looking for a lost pet, please inform Lady Tamara if you are in the know, and you will be rewarded with ten to twenty copper plates, depending on the importance of the news, and if you can help find the pet, you will be rewarded with five silver coins at once. ”
Ben read the words on it lightly, looked at the barbecue in his hand, and didn't know what it felt like in his heart: "Why didn't I see this notice earlier." ”
Renard ignored the other party's complaints, walked two steps to the small villa marked No. 16 Vanilla Street, and stretched out his hand to knock on the courtyard door: "Dangdangdang!"
A response quickly came from the villa: "Please wait. ”
Immediately afterwards an old woman in her sixties with silver-rimmed glasses came out of the villa, and judging from her demeanor, this old woman must have been a rare beauty when she was young.
When the old woman saw the two of them, her face suddenly tightened, and then she forced out a smile and asked, "Young Master Renard, Mr. Ben, do you have anything to do with me?"
Thinking that this person was Lady Tamara, Renard straightened his clothes and tried to be as dignified as possible, and then replied in a heavy tone, "There is indeed something for you. ”
Mrs. Tamara hesitated when she heard this, but at last she was bold enough to come to the gate of the courtyard and look at her through the small fence gate.
Reynard took a deep breath, tried to organize his words, and then said in as calm and gentle a tone as possible, "Did you put up the sign on the street to find pets?"
Lady Tamara nodded suspiciously, and replied, "Yes, is there any problem?"
"Could it be ......" her face suddenly flushed with joy, and she asked with a little urgency, "Have you found Katyusha?"
Katyusha? Renard was stunned, and immediately reacted, this should be the name of the pet dog, he hurriedly nodded: "That's right, I have news of Katyusha, do you want to listen to it?"
"Of course!" Lady Tamara immediately let go of her reserve and nodded vigorously.
Then she opened the fence door and invited the two of them in to talk in detail, and she casually glanced at Ben next to her, or rather, at the barbecue in his hand, and somehow, a sense of foreboding suddenly appeared in her heart.
Instead of taking a single step, Renard stretched out his right hand, rubbing his thumb with his index and middle fingers interlaced.
Then he remembered that this kind of gesture was not popular in this world, so he directly stretched out his hand and turned it up and down.
Lady Tamara finally understood what he meant, and at once took out a few copper plates from the small purse sewn into her waist, and handed them over.
Renard looked at the pitiful amount of copper plates in his hand, and the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously.
But no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and he put the copper plate in his pocket and said in a sad tone: "The lovely Katyusha fell into the hands of several wanderers, and when we found it, they were about to eat it. ”
"Oh, the gods are above!" said Lady Tamara, whose eyes darkened, and who almost made close contact with the cold ground.
Renard stepped forward in time to support the other party, carried her to the sofa in the room and sat down, and continued to add confidently and boldly: "You don't have to worry, fortunately, my subordinates arrived in time, and things are not as bad as you thought." ”
"Really?" Lady Tamara's expression changed to joy in an instant, and she took Renard's hand and said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, I don't know how to live without Katyusha." ”
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and chattered about the past: "My two sons are not around, Katyusha is my only spiritual support, and it has spent the past six years with me ......"
Renard listened to the other party's narration, pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, and then said with a forced smile: "We brought Katyusha back in its entirety, about my reward." ”
Lady Tamara sobbed and took out five silver coins and said, "Thanks to your help, Katyusha was able to return home, and these silver coins should be my reward for you." ”
Renard took the coin with great speed, and then shouted at the door, "Ben, bring the Katyusha in, Lady Tamara is waiting to be reunited with it." ”
After a while, Dogleg reluctantly walked in with a barbecue skewer, and he came to the old woman, and slowly placed the iron signature on the table.
The old woman looked at Renard with a puzzled expression, then at Ben again, her eyes finally resting on the barbecue.
She was a little puzzled at first, then as if she had guessed something, she glared: "Ka...... Katyusha?"
"That's right!" Renard nodded regretfully, and at the same time beckoned Ben to quickly flee outside the villa, and did not forget to comfort him before leaving the door: "Don't be too sad, although Katyusha's body has been destroyed, its soul will still be with you." ”
The two of them ran hundreds of meters with their legs, and only then did they cry out in pain: "You two damn scum." ”
