Chapter 15: The Dwarves (Kneeling for Recommendations, Asking for Collections)
Yuan Di lay leisurely on the recliner behind the counter, looking at the bustling crowd outside the store, and squinted his eyes comfortably.
"Comfortable."
After doing business with No. 2 Fat Sheep last time, although Yuan Di has opened the store every day these days, he has hung up the sign of "Decoration Upgrade, Suspension of Closure".
He also found that these outsiders were not very interested in tea, rice, oil, salt, and other daily necessities, but the blacksmith shops and tailor shops on the other side of the street were doing brisk business, and there was a long queue of customers waiting to buy things.
Since he can't do the business of outsiders, these days the old neighbors can't take care of their own shopping, so Yuan Di simply gave himself a vacation.
Seeing another foreigner wielding a brand-new long sword passing by the door of the store in front of him, Yuan Di spat disdainfully outside the store.
"Phew, what's the use of a good business, don't you have to obediently buy salty salt from me in your broken blacksmith shop? If you have the ability, you can buy rice and salt from other places! โ
Yuan Di would never admit that he was a little red-eyed and a little jealous, absolutely not!
"I don't know how long the blacksmith that the old Deng Tou said will come, and I will lose a day's money if I come this night, and it is really uncomfortable to watch this lovely gold coin flutter its wings and fly away in front of my eyes."
Yuan Di has never missed the drunkard postman next door who has always been sloppy like this for a moment.
Yuan Di, who was about to fall asleep by the scorching light of the earth's core, felt that it was suddenly dark in front of him, and when he raised his eyes, he found that Old Deng Tou was standing in front of him.
"Yo, Grandpa Deng, you're back, sit down!"
With a bright smile on his face, Yuan Di helped the lame postman on the recliner where he was lying just now, poured a glass of water and handed it to Old Duncan.
"Come, Grandpa Deng, you have worked hard, drink a glass of water, hurry up and rest and rest, it's hot."
Then he fished out the largest and roundest watermelon from the well in the backyard, cut it and put it on a plate.
"You eat melons, you eat melons, it's most comfortable to eat a melon on this hot day!"
The old postman picked up a piece of watermelon, and saw that although Yuan Di was talking to himself, his eyes kept looking out of the door, and he couldn't help but speak:
"What do you see? Don't look, no one came. โ
"No one came?"
Yuan Di didn't hide the disappointed expression on his face at all.
He put down the tray with the watermelons neatly arranged in his hand, snatched the watermelon from the old postman's hand and ate it.
Yuan Di said vaguely while spitting melon seeds:
"The blacksmith didn't come, so why did you come back, the matter didn't work out, are you embarrassed to eat melons?"
After speaking, he seemed to be still angry, Yuan Di pulled old Duncan up from the recliner and lay back on himself.
Yuan Di looked at the old Duncan, who was still holding the watermelon, and waved his hand impatiently:
"Go and go, hurry up and get things done, you know that your old man is never reliable, no wonder Aunt Lu in the back street doesn't look down on you as a bad old man."
The old postman was not angry, he put down his hand with a smile, and looked at Yuan Di with a playful expression:
"I mean, the blacksmith didn't come with me, but I didn't say it didn't get done, did I?"
"Didn't lie to me?" Yuan Di looked at the old man in disbelief.
"Why are you lying kid? What's the point of that! โ
Yuan Di rushed out of the recliner and pressed old Duncan onto the recliner without saying a word.
He directly stuffed the entire tray containing watermelons into the old man's hand, and then he didn't know where to conjure up a banana fan and fanned it vigorously.
"Are you satisfied with the wind for a long time, why don't I hurry up?"
Yuan Di smiled flatteringly, eager to slap himself just now, why did his attitude change so quickly, and he had never gone to Sichuan to learn to change his face.
"Hmph, I'm optimistic about your kid's shameless appearance on one side and two-skinned face on the other, you have a future!"
The old man took a bite of the watermelon, grabbed the water cup on the table and poured it down.
"Let me tell you that, boy, there is nothing you Duncan Grandpa and I can't do."
The old man proudly picked up another piece of watermelon.
"That's that, who in our seventh block doesn't know your old man's influence, that, what's going on?"
Yuan Di sped up a little faster in his hand, and looked at the old postman with a longing on his face.
This time, Duncan didn't sell anything to Yuan Di again, put down the watermelon in his hand and said:
"People, I really didn't bring it, but things, I brought." As he spoke, he stood up and pulled Yuan Di towards his backyard.
"This old man was also the number one figure in our holy city when he was young, and the people who came to ask to see him could line up around our holy city twice, if I hadn't put down my old face and gone to find him this time, you would definitely be yellow!"
The old man stretched out his hand to push open the door of his yard, pointed to a halberd inserted in the middle of the yard and said:
"No, people don't look down on your little broken shop, it's still up to us to see my face, take out this good treasure for me, you kid will steal the fun!"
Yuan Di looked around the halberd in the courtyard for a long time, but he didn't see anything.
He turned his head to look at old Duncan and asked with a suspicious expression:
"What is this? Can you sell such a long section? โ
As soon as the old man heard this, he walked up and knocked Yuan Di on the head.
"You kid just don't know the goods, you can't see the good baby in front of you, this thing is in your little broken shop, and it won't take two days for the people who come to the door to blow up your little broken shop.
See, this thing has a straight blade to stab the enemy, and there is a horizontal blade next to it, and the coltan hook pecks the enemy, plus this excellent black iron halberd blade, this halberd body forged from the keelใใใใใใ
The old man looked at Yuan Di, who was full of disbelief, and couldn't wait to slap the sole of his shoe directly in his face.
"Don't talk more about your blind thing, you kid will steal the fun, quickly take it back and put it on the table, remember to come over and share the money after you shoot! I don't care about you! โ
As soon as he heard this, Yuan Di easily lifted the halberd, and just trotted back all the way on his shoulder.
"This is the kid you're talking about?"
A deep voice came from behind Duncan Sr.
"yes, I didn't expect that the old poison would have a child left."
The old man replied without replying.
I saw a dwarf carrying a wooden ladder to Duncan, he first supported the ladder, then climbed up in three or two, and stood at the top of the ladder, the dwarf looked at old Duncan and said:
"The heir left behind by the Lord doesn't seem to know your true identity?"
Hearing the dwarf's question, old Duncan took a sip of wine and burped comfortably before answering:
"Yes, when we brought him back, the old guy wouldn't let us tell the boy the truth.
And I don't know what that old thing sells, before he died, he actually asked me to look at his son with that one, and returned to the embrace of Lord Hades without saying anything else, and he really believed me. โ
The old dwarf looked down and thought for a moment, then looked up at old Duncan:
"Since you didn't lie to me, then according to the original agreement, I will continue to work for Lord Carol's family.
Now that you are the overseer of the Heir of the Eternal Lich, the Son of the Earth, the murderer of the God of Forge and the former patriarch of the Dwarven Bearded Clan, Hammer Longbeard is at your service! โ
