Chapter 20: Nelly the Leopard Girl
"Brother Li, Brother Li, where are we going now?" Amy on the side looked at Li Dedao with big eyes and asked.
Li Dedao smiled and touched Amy's head and said, "Let's go, take you to chat with the young lady who has a good look." ”
"Oh~~!" Amy exclaimed in surprise, then stretched out her hand and pointed to the leopard girl in the iron cage and said, "Are you taking Amy to chat with this young lady!"
The crowd of people watching around saw that there was no good show to watch, and they all talked and dispersed, and Li Dedao took Amy's hand and came to the door of the iron cage.
In front of the iron cage door stood a man about 1.9 meters tall, thin as a hemp pole, and when he saw Li Dedao's arrival, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Hello Lord Li, good Lord Li." ”
Li Dedao was puzzled in his heart, tilted his head, squinted his eyes and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The man with a flattering smile on his face said, "The little one's full name is Lola Ear, and the adult can call me Ear." ”
"Ronaldo!" Li Dedao was stunned when he heard the name, then patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Yes, your name is very good, right, do you know how to play football?"
"Football? Yes...... What is it!" Ear asked, confused.
"Nothing, you say yours. Li Dedao waved his hand and said, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "It seems that I think too much, he just has the same name as the one who plays football." ”
Ear continued: "The little one is the caretaker of this slave auction house, who is specifically responsible for guarding this leopard girl, and the reason why I know the name of Lord Li is because Lord Li showed his might and saved the eldest princess from hundreds of thieves. Many people in Boulder City' want to witness the majestic and heroic posture of adults, the little one not only saw Lord Li today, but also had the honor to witness Lord Li show his might and easily defeat Baron Ho Li, which really made the little one feel a sense of worship in his heart, if the little one can be favored by Lord Li and be an errand servant, I can also wake up with a smile in my sleep. ”
Li Dedao shook his head with a smile and said secretly in his heart: "Flamboyant, he is not a good person at first glance, and he wants to mess with me." ”
Seeing that Li Dedao was smiling and silent, Ear was a little anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Master Li......!
Li Dedao didn't give him an answer, but took out a gold coin and threw it to him and said, "The words are so good, this gold coin has been rewarded to you, quickly open the cage door for me." ”
Ear took the gold coin and showed a hint of disappointment, but immediately changed to a smile, and said to Li Dedao: "Do you want to go into the cage to check the leopard girl?" But this leopard girl has not been tamed yet, and if you go in like this, she will attack her. ”
"That's it!" Li Dedao looked into the iron cage with some hesitation when he heard this.
Just thinking about whether to get in, Amy on the side had already walked to the edge of the iron cage, and put her hand into the iron cage through the iron bar, and wanted to touch the leopard girl, and exclaimed, "Oh! ”
The leopard girl in the iron cage was obviously frightened, and grinned at Amy, revealing her tiger teeth, and a threatening sound like snoring came out of her throat.
"Amy, be careful!" Li Dedao saw that his heart and liver trembled, and he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Amy to his side, squatted down, grabbed Amy's shoulders and looked at her a little annoyed, and said, "You can't be so reckless in the future, what if you are scratched by her?"
"Giggle...... Amy felt Li Dedao's concern, so she laughed happily, and hugged Li Dedao's arm and said, "Brother Li, she didn't hurt Amy! Amy thinks she's so funny." ”
"Just know how to play. Li Dedao scratched Amy's nose angrily, and a not-so-heavy scolding caused Amy to laugh again.
Li Dedao said to Amy: "I'm going to go into the cage for a while, you are waiting for me here, you know?"
Amy nodded and said, "Yes, Amy is waiting for you here." ”
Li Dedao stood up and looked inside the iron cage, and the leopard girl saw Li Dedao looking at her, roared at Li Dedao like fried hair, and threatened in leopard language: "Don't come here, come over and Nelly will bite off your neck, drink all your blood, and throw you into the field to feed the ants, woo woo...... Nellie will do what she says...... Woooooooooooo ”
"Brother Li, what are you talking about!" Amy asked Li Dedao as she looked at the leopard girl with a curious expression.
She said she wanted to be friends with Amy. Li Dedao replied with a smile.
"Yes!" Amy exclaimed with joy on her face, "Amy wants to be friends with her, too." After speaking, he waved his hand to the leopard girl in the iron cage and said with a smile: "Hello! My name is Amy." ”
The leopard girl rolled her eyes and glanced at Amy in confusion.
"Brother Li, why don't she ignore Amy!" Amy asked as she dragged Li Dedao's trouser leg and shook it.
Li Dedao touched Amy's head and said, "I'll go in and talk to her, and she'll take care of Amy." ”
Amy nodded and said, "Well, then you go, Amy can't wait." ”
Li Dedao smiled and said to his ear: "Open the door, I want to go in." ”
The ear hurriedly said, "Your Excellency is dangerous!"
"If you open the door, I have my own plans. ”
Seeing that Li Dedao's meaning had been decided, his ears were not good to persuade him again, so he shouted to a tent next to him: "It's time to eat." ”
Li Dedao felt inexplicable, and asked you to open the door, and you called for a woolen meal.
"Whoa!" A loud noise, like the sound of some huge object falling to the ground, sounded from a tent on the edge of the iron cage, and then there was a heavy running sound, and before Li Dedao could figure out the situation, he saw a woman who was nearly 2 meters tall and like a sumo wrestler, with her mouth open, revealing her tongue with a mouth full of haras, and rushed towards this side quickly, Li Dedao even felt that the ground under his feet was shaking slightly.
In the shock of Li Dedao and Amy, the woman came to the ear and stopped, wiped the hara on the corner of her mouth and asked, "What are you eating!"
The corners of his ears and mouth twitched, and he took out a palm-sized piece of black bread from his arms, handed it to her and said, "Vera, this adult is going to enter the cage to see the leopard girl, you can open the door." ”
That kind of black bread Li Dedao ate once, it was very grinding, eating without water, it was difficult to swallow, but I didn't expect Vera to take it, swallowed it in one bite, and then smashed his mouth in the aftertaste, took out a bunch of keys from under the fat on his stomach, and kept complaining while opening the door: "That's it, it's not enough to eat, and it also told me to get up, my stomach is too hungry, and I can't sleep later." ”
"This is ......," asked Li Dedao, pointing to Vera.
Ear smiled awkwardly and said: "This is a little mother-in-law, she eats a lot, and it becomes like this, which makes adults laugh." After speaking, he saw that the iron cage door had been opened, and hurriedly made a gesture to invite him in and said, "Your Excellency, please." ”
Li Dedao nodded, and finally understood why the figure of the ear was so thin, so he took out a gold coin and threw it to the ear and said, "Take it and buy some food, and make up for it." ”
The gold coin crossed an arc in the air and before it fell into his ear's hand, he was grabbed by Wei Stretch's hand on the side.
Vera spread her hands and rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and after a careful confirmation, she said, "Gold coins! Wow it's gold coins, you can buy a lot of food, you don't have to go hungry." ”
The ear nodded at Li Dedao and said, "Thank you, sir!" After speaking, he pulled down Vera's sleeve and said, "Thank you, sir!"
Vera realized it later, arched her hand at Li Dedao and said, "Thank you, my lord!"
The corners of Li Dedao's mouth twitched, and his heart was speechless, your actions are really like a gentleman.
Seeing that Li Dedao didn't speak, Vera said to her ear, "I'll go buy food first." After speaking, he didn't wait for anyone to answer, and ran away quickly, and the speed made Li Dedao feel surprised again.
After cleaning up his mood, Li Dedao pushed open the cage door, entered the cage, and saw the leopard girl subconsciously take a few steps back and make an attacking gesture, so he showed a smile that he thought was very kind, and said in leopard language: "Hello! Nelly, my name is Li Dedao, I have no malicious intent." ”
Nelly was stunned for a moment, "How do you know my name!" and then thought of something and exclaimed, "What do you say about our leopard clan?"
Li Dedao nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, can we have a good chat?"
"What do you want to talk about. Nelly asked, letting down her guard.
"Let me ask you, is your home in the 100,000 mountains on the edge of the Red Forest Plain?"
Nelly glanced at Li Dedao suspiciously, and replied, "Yes! If you want me to take you to arrest my people, I won't agree even if I die." ”
"You think too much!" Li Dedao chuckled and said: "Tomorrow I will go to the Red Forest Plain, if you want to go home, follow me, you can leave at any time when you get to the Red Forest Plain, I will not stop you." ”
"You humans are all great liars, robbers, murderers, why should I believe what you say. Nelly said, shaking her head.
"Because you don't have a choice, I'm the only one here who speaks the language of the leopard people and wants to help you, if you miss this opportunity, you may never go home, right...... You don't want to see your family again, you don't want to experience freedom again!"
"What is the purpose of your this. Nelly asked, biting her lip and baring her tiger teeth.
Li Dedao smiled and said, "What's the purpose...... Indeed there is. ”
Nelly's eyes immediately turned cold, and sure enough, she didn't guess that I was letting me go to arrest my people.
Li Dedao ignored Nelly's cold eyes and continued, "Maybe...... It's to get the friendship of you leopard people. ”
Nelly was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Dedao with a puzzled face.
"Believe it or not, that's what I'm thinking now, and you'd better believe me, you say. Li Dedao asked rhetorically.
Nelly frowned and thought for a while before she said, "I...... I believe you for the time being. ”
"That's good!" Li Dedao slapped his thigh and shouted, then showed a sincere smile, stretched out his right hand to Nelly and said, "Come! Let's trust, let's start with a handshake." ”
