Hugh then increased the throttle and drove forward at a high speed. Music + Literature + Fiction www.し wxs520.com
"Louis has a soft spot for sounds that even animals can't accept, and it's a strange hobby." Katyusha sighed.
"Generally speaking, people who like rock music have two characteristics, one likes fantasy and always hopes to change the world with spiritual power to make the world a better place, and the other is to prove their strength to the world. Beneath the calm exterior lies a fiery heart. Hugh recalled.
"Well, that's a good analysis, and besides, Louis is a seasoned explosives expert, and his job is to blow up something, to blast something hostile into the sky, and I think heavy metal rock music is very much in line with the nature of his job." Katyusha said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
As the two were talking, there was a sudden "pop", and something white slimy fell from the sky and landed on the front windshield of the jeep, splashing a white area on it, and the two of them looked at it, and it turned out to be the work of two unknown birds overhead, dropping poop bombs on them.
"Haha, look at this music, not only the animals on the ground can't stand it and run for their lives, but even the birds in the sky are scared out of their." Hugh laughed heartily.
"I think I was frightened, and I was protesting that we had disturbed the silence and serenity of the woodland. Anyway, speed through here, I don't want to get a hit or two. Katyusha looked up defensively at the two small "bombers" in the sky.
Before you know it, the jeep has come to the edge of the town, today is the weekly market day, the town is very lively, everyone has shown the fruits of their labor and the spoils of hunting, along the road leading to the center of the town in a row, including fresh mushrooms just picked after the rain, there are fragrant homemade wine, there are all kinds of fresh meat steaks and other goods, sellers set up stalls on the spot to shout and shout, to the crowd to introduce the price and characteristics of their products.
One of the most bizarre is the stall with a few small cages, which contains some kind of very familiar small animal, the two took a closer look, and found that it was a wild raccoon in the forest, and then looked at the advertising sign on the stall, which read: "Smart and witty little raccoon, the best companion to accompany the growth of children, 20 yuan a, estimated as soon as possible, buy two get one free, plus send their own printed raccoon practical domestication manual, free delivery to the door in the town." ”
"I really know how to do business, and I buy not only products, but also services. It is estimated that in half a day's work, the furry guys in these cages will be able to be snapped up. Hugh sighed.
He was waiting for Katyusha's response, not wanting people to pay attention to what he just said, and looked at the raccoon in the cage with his eyes: "I always thought that this thing was similar to a hare, and it could only be eaten by calling, and it could be tamed as a pet if I didn't want to." ”
Apparently this cute little guy aroused Katyusha's interest, and hearing the discussion between the two, the seller enthusiastically stepped forward and introduced to the two: "That is, after domestication, the raccoon can go to the bathroom by itself, tear open the food bag and eat by itself, and live completely on its own, even if the owner is not at home for a year and a half, it can take care of itself as a bear, properly." ”
"It's not even a problem with this kind of difficult game." The seller said and took out a dozen plastic dominoes from his pocket, stacked them on the ground, and then opened one of the cages, took out a small raccoon with a glittering eye, and put it in front of the dominoes, this move of it attracted the attention of pedestrians, including Katyusha.
At this time, the raccoon walked to the end of the domino, looking at the merchant in front of him with waiting eyes, and the other party had a different kind of whistle order, giving a new order that only their main pet two could understand, only the little raccoon swayed forward a few steps, stretched out his trembling fingers, and gently pushed towards the first domino, this pile of cards fell down one by one, and fell to the last card without interruption, and the crowd burst into cheers, amazed at the wit and wisdom of the little guy in front of him.
"Imagine if you have a child in the family, wouldn't it be interesting to have one more such smart and interesting animal to grow up with it." There was a hint of pride in the merchant's words.
"Even if you don't have it, it doesn't matter, I believe this guy will definitely add some laughter to your ordinary life." The businessman felt that it was inappropriate to limit the raccoon to families with children, which invisibly reduced the potential consumer group.
"How do you sell this?" A curious pedestrian asked.
"20 yuan a piece, the price is clearly marked, and the sister-in-law is not bullied, you see that all of them are so clever, there is no more cost-effective deal." The merchant said.
"I'm not talking about the inside of the cage, I'm saying that the one in front of me can play dominoes." The pedestrian corrected.
After completing the task arranged by the owner, the raccoon could not help but feel a little hungry, and walked to a cage, where there was a small bag of raccoon rations on the door, and it jumped up with a slight leap, held it with its two front paws, tore it open with its sharp teeth, poured it into its mouth, and ate it on its own.
"Well, it's for display, I don't sell it." The merchant rejected the request.
"Make a price, and as long as it's reasonable, I'll buy it." Pedestrians don't want to miss out on this opportunity.
"If you're serious about buying it." The merchant had a bitter expression: "$400, it's yours." ”
"God, it's so expensive, you can buy a calf. Forget it. The pedestrians shook their heads and turned away, and the crowd gathered here, who were somewhat interested in the raccoon, heard of the exaggerated price, and dispersed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, 400 yuan is really not expensive, it has condensed my time and energy for many years to domesticate the state in front of me." The businessman looked at the crowd that gradually dispersed, and began to get anxious, and he knew that it would be better to lower the price, otherwise he would not lose so much popularity all of a sudden.
