Chapter 34: Mei Mei
The sun was not too hot and fell, and the jets of water reflected the light, and the street stretched forward, with verdant meadows on one side and brick and stone pavements on the other, and turned farther away, where you could see flower beds. Follow? Dream? Novel wwwlΔ
"Didn't I say that? I didn't steal it, so why should I give the money to the pig-headed shopkeeper! β
And then...... Then the little girl took the trouble to emphasize, read ~ read ~ read ~ read ~ how long have you been talking Shen Yi couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, yes, you didn't steal it, I know, this is the tenth time you mentioned it to me."
"Whew! You didn't listen to me at all, you were just perfunctory...... Woo, it hurts, light it up, big brother ......"
Shen Yi reluctantly smeared the potion he bought on the little girl with a blue nose and swollen face, accompanied by her bursts of pain, as for the money, it was naturally from the shopkeeper, so after a while, the little girl snatched the potion from his hand dissatisfiedly because she disliked him for being "too heavy": "...... Forget it, I'll do it myself, big brother is clumsy. β
He shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and Vivien stood quietly behind him, looking curiously at the little girl's ears, and then the two sat down on the stone chair next to them, and it could be seen that the little girl was very experienced in how to apply potions to herself, and in a few moments, she finished treating her wounds.
"Well, give it back to your big brother."
"No need, you better stay."
"Well, that's okay, I'm not going to be polite to you!" The little girl said with a straight face, and immediately kicked the potion into her arms happily, and then remembered something, and turned to Shen Yi strangely: "By the way, big brother, didn't you say that you were penniless?" β
"I didn't have it before, but I just got it, but it's probably not good to go to that street again in the future."
ββ¦β¦ Is it the owner of the fat pig shop? The little girl quickly heard the meaning of his words, stared at him without blinking, saw Shen Yi nodded, cheered happily, then tilted her head and thought about it, then raised her finger and turned to Shen Yi one by one: "It's not good to steal things, but the big brother is here to save me, so this time I will treat it as if I didn't see it, and I can't do it again in the future!" β
Looking at the little girl's serious preaching, Shen Yi shrugged his shoulders helplessly, this is a very strange orc girl, he defined in his heart, his temper is almost stubborn, whether it is when he is beaten, or when he is talking to Shen Yi just now, she is emphasizing the fact that she has not done anything wrong, and she does not compromise, like a stone stubborn, such a character appears in a child, he just regards her innocence and cuteness.
If she grows up a little more, whether this stubborn character is good or bad, it is difficult to say, whether it is compromise or not, there are always many times when it is necessary to be flexible, although stubborn people, he has seen many people, but among them, some have either become saints for people to preach, and some ...... Either she was burned at the stake, and as for the little girl in front of her, why she developed such a character, and in it, she was a little curious about what kind of environment she grew up in, but it was only curiosity.
Not all curiosity needs to be satisfied, and Shen Yi knows this better than anyone.
"By the way, my name is Meimei, what about your big brother and big sister?"
"My name is Shen Yi, and the big sister next to me is called Vivian, remember it, little ghost."
"Huh? Are you leaving? Mei Mei looked at Shen Yi and Vivian, who were about to leave, and said urgently: "Big brother and big sister are coming to Atlas for the first time, don't you need a guide?" I know a lot of things, and I'm a real snake, and I can definitely help you. After saying that, they looked at the two of them expectantly, but Shen Yi and Vivian were indifferent to this, and then as if they realized something, Mei Mei's ears drooped down, accompanied by her voice gradually becoming low: "...... Woo, do you still say that orcs can't do it......" After a while, probably deciding that Shen Yi would not hire her, Mei Mei couldn't help but bow her head in disappointment, but the girl who was happily arguing with him a moment ago suddenly became depressed, and pulled her head.
Shen Yi's eyes fell on Mei Mei's body, and then felt that someone quietly pulled his clothes, I knew, he couldn't help but sigh, the original intention to leave was not easy to say, a little girl put on a pitiful expression in front of him, will it impress him, this is difficult to say, if Vivian is here, then the answer to the question is very clear, she will definitely be soft-hearted, and then use such a small gesture to express her opinion, so even if he doesn't have to ask deliberately, he still knows Vivian's intentions.
"Okay, Meimei, can I ask you to be our guide?"
"Really?" The little girl, who still had a little tear in her eyes, suddenly raised her head when she heard his words.
"Hmm."
"But...... I won't give you a discount just because you saved me! β
The smiling face immediately reappeared on the girl's face, and then she put on an uncompromising appearance, looking at the little girl who suddenly changed into a pair of old fritters with a philistine face, Shen Yi was stunned, and shook her head helplessly.
She shouldn't have pretended to have an expression just now......
***********************************************************************************************
With Mei Mei as a guide, many things were much simpler to follow, and he and Vivien followed the little girl and walked around, the famous lighthouse of Atlas, the market in the east, and the huge jousting arena, and so on.
Sometimes when he stopped in front of the shop pΓΉ that sold strange equipment, Mei Mei would urge him to go quickly, muttering bad things about the shopkeeper, saying that this was a big black merchant who came to kill foreign tourists, and then took the two of them around in the alley and appeared in front of another shop, Shen Yi naturally didn't say anything about this, but he paid a little attention, and then noticed that most of the shops were really as Mei Mei said, at least the price marked on the counter was much more expensive than the store PΓΉ that Mei Mei took them to. After walking around like this, he couldn't help but believe what Mei Mei said, and he couldn't help but smile when he looked at the girl who was jumping in front of them.
"It's best to go to the market we just passed by to buy food, it's not that it's cheap, it's just that I think the things there are a little more delicious, and if you want something cheap, you have to take a detour to West Street, but you have to keep your eyes open when you buy, the boss there is broken, and he will quietly exchange the bad things for you, so you must pay attention......"
ββ¦β¦ Hiro's guiding machinery is only sold on North Street, well, where did you say North Street, by the way, I haven't told you yet, North Street is the street where the fat pig shopkeeper is, the things there are expensive, and the people are fierce, it's not good at all, if it's okay, it's better not to go......"
Babbling about all kinds of news, Shen Yi has thoroughly seen Meimei's shrewdness, but he can't feel much evil for the little girl in front of him, only occasionally flashing doubts, and then at the intersection of the street, Shen Yi paid for a few bottles of drinks similar to juice, the little girl complained angrily, as if she was the one who paid the money instead of Shen Yi, and then took his juice with peace of mind, looking at the little girl's appearance of a little wealth fan, Shen Yi had no choice but to let her go.
In the evening, when it came to finding a place to live, Mei Mei's eyes couldn't help but light up, Shen Yi probably knew what idea she was going to make, but he didn't care, after a day, he more or less understood Mei Mei, the little girl, although a little bit of poisonous tongue, a little shrewd, but the heart is excellent, of course, for a little girl who has only known each other for a day, it is impossible to talk about any trust and the like, just out of confidence in his own skills, Mei Mei's little bit of caution, he didn't take it too seriously.
Then the two of them, under her leadership, turned around seven and eight times, through a dense residential area, turned onto an alley with few pedestrians, and the buildings on both sides gradually changed from neat mansions to dilapidated houses, accompanied by sparse lights, although they were puzzled, they didn't say anything, just took Vivian's hand and followed Mei Mei, and after walking for a while, a large apartment that looked a little dilapidated appeared in front of them.
"Here?" Shen Yi couldn't help but ask.
"This is Meimei's home!" As she spoke, she stuck out her tongue, with apprehension in her tone, as if she was afraid that Shen Yi and Vivian would leave because they saw the dilapidated apartment, and explained in a little panic: "Although the exterior is a little shabby, the inside is very clean, and this is the cheapest place for rent in Atlas~~ Atlas!" β
Shen Yi has never been so particular about where he lives, and naturally he doesn't blame Mei Mei for taking it upon herself to bring them over, as for Vivian, needless to say, just looking at the anxious girl pursing her lips as if waiting to be judged, he felt a little funny, touched her fluffy hair, and shook it twice: "Okay, then let's see what the cheapest place for rent in all Atlas is." β
"Well, of course, it's cheap, it's absolutely clean inside, and it's very warm!" Seeing that Shen Yi didn't blame her for this, Mei Mei quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then patted her chest proudly, and then pushed open the door of the apartment.
The light slowly spilled out from the side of the door, and when he saw the scene inside the apartment, Shen Yi's eyes couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
