No matter who it was, they would be startled when they suddenly saw the big dog squatting in front of the store, and the young clerk almost threw a box of umbrellas in his hand directly to the ground.

"Old ...... Boss, where did the dog come from? The young clerk looked frightened, and did not come closer, holding a box of umbrellas and looking at the people next to the cash register.

"I called them in to take shelter from the rain. What are you afraid of? ”

"Aren't I afraid of dogs? I was bitten by a dog when I was a child, and since then I have thought that dogs are really scary animals and I don't understand why so many people like dogs. ”

"Alright, put the umbrella there, and you can go to the back and take a nap." The boss bit his cigarette and said, his words were not very clear, and he had an obvious dialect accent, if he wasn't familiar with the dialect, Hei Tan wouldn't have understood.

The young man understood, he had long been accustomed to this way of speaking. He quickly put down a box of folding umbrellas and slipped away, not forgetting to close the door to the back room, as if he was afraid that the big dog in front of the door would enter.

The shopkeeper took out a pen and wrote something on a piece of white paper, and then took the paper and moved the box of umbrellas to the door of the store, and the paper was hung on a shelf above, with black and white characters, or bold fonts - "Umbrella and raincoats are on sale, and the umbrella is at a special price of 20 yuan / piece."

But when the young man came over with a suitcase just now, he said that these umbrellas are sold for fifteen yuan, right?

Twenty is also a "special price", which is really a very expensive price, and it is a profiteer.

The rain outside turned into a torrential rain in less than two minutes after Zheng Si and Xiaohua entered the house, crackling and hitting the ground, and the splashing water droplets made Xiaohua take a step back.

The wind outside is getting stronger again, and basically as soon as you go out, you will definitely get wet.

The wind was so strong that the rain would drift into the house, so the owner closed most of the door of the shop, leaving only the umbrella in the area. The box is covered with a layer of plastic sheeting, which is waterproof and there is no worry about rain falling into the box.

Not to mention, there are many people who come to buy umbrellas and raincoats, and many of them are in a hurry to give money and take umbrellas and leave, of course, there are also bargains, but in the end they will always be rejected. Buying other small things will not cost a penny, in a word, it is not bargaining.

The shopkeeper walked inside the cash register and began fiddling with an electric fan. The kind of desktop fans used by students, generally those students in schools will take them to repair after the fan can't turn, and some will sell them at a low price. The shop owner should have received it from the student at a low price, and it could be sold for some money if it was repaired and then sold.

"Black charcoal!" A figure rushed into the store.

Xiaohua said "woo~" and didn't stand up, but Hei Tan looked at each other in surprise.

It was Su Xiaopang who rushed in, carrying an umbrella in his hand, and put the umbrella away after rushing into the store.

The black charcoal probe looked at Su Xiaopang, his head and upper body were fine, but it looked like he was all wet from the waist down, no way, the wind was too strong, and the umbrella couldn't manage too much of a range.

However, how did this guy come here?

"I ran over when I saw that it was not right, but I still didn't catch up!" Su Xiaopang shook his trouser leg and asked the pants not to stick to his leg, not because he was afraid of catching a cold, but because he felt uncomfortable.

The shopkeeper glanced over the way, not ready to come over and talk.

However, Su Musha was very polite, "Boss, thank you!" Otherwise my cat and dog will get drenched in the rain! ”

The shopkeeper took a cigarette in his mouth and nodded indifferently.

Su Musha stroked the big head of the little flower that came over again, and was about to continue greeting the other party.

"Bang!"

There was a noise at the door.

The people in the shop followed the sound and looked over.

Two young men with dyed hair and short-sleeved T-shirts with skull prints walked in, and the sound was coming from the metal shelves they had kicked into the doorway.

Both of them were soaked, the flip-flops wiped on the dry cardboard box next to them, and they were scolding and saying something, and after seeing the little flower squatting next to Su Musha, they paused and restrained a little, and most people are still more afraid of this kind of big dog.

The two men took two umbrellas and a few other things from the store and went to the cash register.

"A total of seventy-two yuan and three cents, thank you." The shopkeeper said.

"It's so expensive, it's cheaper." The young man said as he put his things in the bag.

"Don't bargain, seventy-two yuan three, thank you." The shopkeeper said again, and said nothing about the young man putting the things in the bag before he could pay.

"Hey, you're an old thing, it's a waste of time, let you be cheaper, you can't understand good words, right?" As he spoke, the young man took out a fifty and slapped it on the counter, intending to leave after carrying his things.

But the shopkeeper reacted faster, and before the man could lift the bag, it was twisted and pressed against the counter.

"It hurts, it hurts!" The young man's face was distorted, and he didn't know what was going on, and the slightest movement hurt so badly that it seemed to be torn.

"What are you doing," said the other young man angrily, looking to the side, intending to get the mop, it was much easier to talk with a stick in his hand.

"Wang!"

Xiaohua realized something and screamed, and let out a low growl in her throat at the person who wanted to get the mop.

The man touched the mop and shrank back in fright at a bark.

The shopkeeper glanced at the person who wanted to take the mop, then turned back to look at the person who was being pressed by himself, bit his cigarette and leaned over, and said slowly: "Buy it or get out." ”

The two young men who were originally arrogant are now wilting, one of them was twisted and pressed on the counter and didn't dare to move, only his face was a little distorted by pain, and he was cruel at first, but now he didn't even dare to let go of a fart, he just hoped that the mean-looking shopkeeper would let them go quickly.

As the shopkeeper said, if you want to let go, you can, either pay for it or roll it out.

At this moment, the phone on Su Musha's body rang.

In the affiliated hospital just now, the old man Li fell asleep after taking the injection and medicine, the old lady leaned on the chair next to him and squinted, and the other awake people in the ward were discussing because of the change in the weather outside, and they all deliberately lowered their voices, but when they saw a tree being blown down directly by the wind, some people couldn't help but let out a louder sound of surprise.

The old lady woke up because of their surprise, and so did Old Man Li.

After seeing the weather outside the window, the two old men immediately became calm, especially Old Man Li, the first thing that came to mind was that Xiaohua was still tied to the guard's room, and now it was windy and rainy, what should Xiaohua do!

Before the old lady could call, the doorman called. The old lady left a phone at the doorman, so the doorman hurriedly called the old lady to explain the situation after seeing Xiaohua and the black cat run away.

Xiaohua ran away, which made the two old men very anxious, but they thought that Xiaohua ran with the black cat of Teacher Xiao Jiao's house, which made the two old men feel a little at ease.

However, the weather outside was really not good, and the old man Li couldn't rest at ease, so he asked the old lady to hand him the phone, and he called Jiao's father directly.

Jiao's father, who was sorting out a handout in the office, immediately picked it up after reading the caller ID. Old man Li is a retired old professor of the Academy of Biological Sciences, although old man Li studies plants and has little intersection with Jiao's father's research direction, but the teachers in the academy still respect old man Li very much, so Jiao's father didn't think much about it and picked it up.

"Hey, Mr. Xiao Jiao, has your cat gone back?"

Old man Li briefly talked about the things in the hospital, and Jiao's father thought about it and said, "I'm in the office now, call and ask first." ”

"I'm sorry for you, Mr. Xiao Jiao, if you have any news, give me a reply."

After hanging up the phone, Jiao's father called home.

Generally speaking, if the black charcoal is at home, he will press the answer button when he sees the familiar number on the caller ID of the landline. However, today the phone rang for a long time and there was no connection.

Dad Jiao looked at the weather outside and frowned. dialed the phone number of Jiao Wei's parents and Su Musha's phone again.

Su Musha looked at the two young people who were making trouble, took out the phone and connected it.

"Hmmm! I'm with black charcoal! Little flowers are also there! We're sheltering from the rain! Su Musha reported to Jiao's father on the other side of the phone.

Hearing that Su Xiaopang was hiding from the rain with a dog and a cat, Jiao's father was relieved, and after hanging up the phone, he called Old Man Li again.

In the grocery store, the shopkeeper saw Su Musha answering the phone, and the strength in his hand loosened a little, probably because he was afraid that he would make some noise and be heard by the parents of the children.

However, when Su Musha hung up the phone, he added strength to his hand, and the guy who was pinched on the counter by him shouted in a straight voice again: "It hurts!" Hurt! ”

There was still fifty dollars on the counter that the man had taken out, but the shopkeeper didn't look at it again after taking a look.

The man standing next to him swallowed his saliva, and he felt that the wind blowing in outside was a little cold, and the wind carried moisture, which made him feel even colder.

"I warn you, don't go too far!" The young man standing next to him raised his hand and pointed at the shopkeeper and said loudly, but his fingers trembled.

Xiaohua sneezed because the rain that blew in splashed on his nose, and the man trembled twice in fright.

Selling jokes can't sell Samoyed, pretending to be pitiful can't pretend to be Pug, Xiaohua's facial expression on that embarrassed face is not much, for people who don't know this kind of dog, the most deterrent is always that size.

The two of them pondered whether the big dog behind them was showing its impatience, and when they thought about it, they were even more frightened.

The shopkeeper didn't speak, just looked at them with one expression, and then the young man standing next to him gritted his teeth, took out his pocket, and took out twenty-two yuan and put it on the counter, "That's okay, right?" Don't let my brother go yet! ”

The shopkeeper didn't speak, he didn't let go, but twisted it again, causing the man to scream in pain.

"Seventy-two yuan and three cents, is your elementary school math taught by a physical education teacher?"

The young man standing next to him stiffened, he didn't expect this shopkeeper to be so serious, and he cared about three cents.

"I don't have three cents, I don't believe it!" So saying, the man took out his trouser pocket, and took out all the contents in the pocket, and there was a dime in the left trouser pocket, and two old versions of the dime in the right trouser pocket.

“……”

The man standing next to him choked, but he didn't expect that there were really three cents. Placing all three coins on the counter, he looked at the shopkeeper, "This time, right?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and looked at the man, "One last chance." ”

"It hurts, it hurts! Ma, hurry up and give the money! The man holding his wrist yelled at his companion.

The man standing next to him put another fifty on the counter with a depressed expression, and then hurriedly retreated with his companion.

The man tried to take away the fifty that had been placed on the counter, but found that a finger had pressed the corner of the fifty.

Unwillingly looked at the fifty on the counter, the man "hummed", was pulled by his companion, and walked to the door after carrying things, and when he left, he also wanted to find something worthy to fight back, and he couldn't smash the store, but he didn't want to turn around and kick on a shelf, and the toes of the flip-flops were knocked into pain, and he couldn't wait to scold his mother, and he was just about to scold to vent his anger and grievances, when he heard two dog barks behind him.

"Woohoo! Woof! ”

Xiaohua stood up and looked at the two of them, and it sensed a bad sense from these two people, so it just screamed twice as if tentatively, and reminded the other party not to come this way by the way.

Xiaohua squatted there and looked very big, and when she stood up, she felt bigger, and her every move was very eye-catching.

However, Su Musha didn't stop Xiaohua, he felt that these two young people didn't have the courage to come over and confront Xiaohua. What's more, the shopkeeper is not a simple person. As soon as you make a move, you can restrain people, and if you really fight, you will definitely not be weak, compared to these two external powerhouses.

The two young men choked on Xiaohua's dog barking, glanced at each other, and didn't plan to scold, so they left quickly.

"What's going on?" The young clerk who had been running to the room at the back of the house to take a nap was woken up by two dog barks, and he had the courage to open the door and take a look.

After seeing the two people at the door, he raised his eyebrows, looking for fault?

When the two people at the door saw that the shopkeeper still had a helper, they were even more reluctant to stay here, so they left quickly, and ran into the rain without even opening the umbrella they had just bought.

The people who came from the back of the house bypassed the little flowers and walked quickly to the cash register against the shelves on the other side.

"What's the matter, boss, those two are finding fault?"

"It's nothing, two little children, don't bother with it." The shopkeeper puts the money in the money box. Only the fifty that was taken out at the beginning of the counter was still in its original place.

"Yo! Dare to use fake money, deliberately do it, and find fault. Boss, how do you let them go without beating them up? ”

"What do you have to worry about children?" The shopkeeper moved the fake fifty to the side of the counter, pressed it with something, then picked up a screwdriver, took a cigarette in his mouth, and continued to fix the electric fan.

The young clerk pursed his lips, didn't say right or refute, looked at the box placed at the door, and said, "Boss, no one said anything about your behavior of raising prices in the rain?" ”

"What is there to say, the fare at the station will be raised during the holidays, and what will happen if I raise the price of an umbrella when it rains?"

“…… I've learned from you what it's like to rob while it's hot. ”

"No," the shopkeeper shook his hand with a screwdriver, "I'm just going to let you know more vividly what it means to be a non-traitor." ”

Su Musha was standing in the corner of the store, squatting on the side with Xiaohua and black charcoal, listening to the conversation between the boss and the clerk, and felt that this boss was quite interesting.

On the shelves, the white cat squatted in a different place, still staring condescendingly at the black charcoal and the little flower, even if the shopkeeper beckoned it over, it didn't move.

The young clerk and the shopkeeper chatted for a while, and then suddenly realized that in addition to the two of them, a dog and two cats, there was a big living person in the corner.

Bored, he dragged a round stool for Su Musha to sit down and rest, and then pulled Su Musha to talk about raising dogs and cats at home.

Su Musha was also bored, and he couldn't leave after a lot of rain, so he had a conversation with the clerk without a word. The guy probably woke up, and there was no business in the store, so he couldn't talk too much.

A man, a dog and a cat stayed in the grocery store for about an hour, and the rain gradually subsided, and after another ten minutes or so, it stopped, but there were still a few drops of rain occasionally.

The sky is much brighter, but the wind is still blowing, and looking at the sky in the distance, it is estimated that there is still a torrential rain brewing.

Su Musha decided to take advantage of this time and hurry back.
