Chapter 95: Overwhelming the Camel
There was an eerie silence all around, except for the sound of wheels running over the bluestone floor.
The stall owners were silent, and they didn't even dare to breathe. It was as if this huge carriage was a hearse to the Netherworld, ready to drag the living into hell at any moment.
In addition to the stall owner, there are only four poker adults who can be called living beings.
As if there should be no living life on this long street, the first three black and shiny tall horses walked straight towards the four, each with the same rhythm on its legs.
But the strange thing is that the huge horse's hooves are silently stepping on the bluestone road.
As the tall horse approached, the pink carriage behind the horse grew larger and larger.
The carriage is not only strange in color, but also in shape......
It's clearly a huge peach blossom with buds waiting to be released!
This peach-blossom-like carriage is three or four stories high, and the layers of petals are shyly gathered together, and I don't know what is in the carriage.
As the three black horses stood silently in front of the four of them, the peach blossom carriage shook slightly.
The sound of the wheels was gone, and even the sound of the wind was muffled by the huge carriage.
Ziqi felt that this peach-blossom-like carriage was like a huge ***, and the surrounding silence was terrifying.
Just when the four of them were at a loss, the carriage changed, and the folded petals began to slowly open, like a real peach blossom blooming in front of the eyes of the four people.
The petals are pink and delicate, covering the sky and the sun.
The sunlight passed through the huge petals, which also seemed to be stained with pink, and Ziqi felt that everyone was standing in a field of red pink.
But unfortunately, when the first goose-yellow stamen peeked out, the petals stopped blooming, and all the petals were fixed in the air like a bound rose.
Suddenly, all the stall owners raised their heads, their eyes fixed on the goose-yellow stamen.
A small white jade-like hand stretched out from the stamen, and this hand was still slightly clenched into a fist.
When he saw this hand, Ziqi could clearly feel that all the stall owners around him were relieved, and the oppressive atmosphere that lingered around him disappeared.
"Huh." A delicate laugh came out of the stamens, "Don't be nervous, it's me Rongge who comes to ask for an offering,
Please take a look at what the lion baby needs this time......"
With a long note of a pleasant female voice, the little white jade hand gradually opened, holding a yellow-orange banana in his hand.
"Alright, let's get started."
The charming voice is gone, and so are the little hands.
As if given an order, all the stall owners with bananas on their stalls immediately started to act.
Yellow, orange, orange, and golden bananas were instantly thrown to the stamens from all directions, and the peach-blossom-like carriage was like a bloody mouth devouring the tribute offered to him at this time.
As the banana keeps throwing in, the petals begin to slowly open.
As the petals slowly open, the stall owners become more and more motivated.
Soon all the stall owners joined in the action, and they had a clear division of labor and an orderly manner.
A dozen tall Gollum stall owners surrounded the huge wagon, throwing bananas into the stamens in a row, and Balu was one of them.
The rest of the stall owners formed several long lines and began to carry bananas to the people in the middle.
The flame of the crowd collecting firewood was high, and with the continuous reduction of bananas on the long street, the peach blossoms slowly bloomed.
As the peach blossoms slowly bloomed, smiles gradually appeared on the faces of the stall owners.
Even the guy Balu began to smile on his face, and he kept repeating the action of turning around to pick up the goods, and then turning around to throw the goods, and the sweat began to slide down his neck.
More and more stamens are showing up, and there are fewer and fewer bananas on the market.
The huge peach blossom was about to fully bloom, and all four petals had already opened, leaving only the last one still resisting stubbornly.
With the sacrifice of more and more bananas, the petals finally gave up curling and stretched out, but the tip of the petal was still trembling slightly.
Just then, the bananas ran out!
Everyone's eyes were staring at the last petal without blinking.
She was still trembling slightly, trembling slightly......
Finally, the petals did not move, but the front end was still not fully opened, like a skirt drenched in water, with a little curl curve.
It was this little arc that caused everyone to panic again, and they looked at each other in silence.
Sweat slid down Baru's neck again, and it seemed to be more than he had been doing his job.
"Huh." The delicate voice came again, "Everyone is working hard and doing well, but ......"
This "but" was like a weapon of terror, and the stall owners were all dead.
"The peach blossoms are still not fully opened, which means that the bananas you have provided are not enough, so the baby lion will not be happy. Of course I don't care, but it's not good for Adler to know. Hehe, I'll give you five seconds to solve this problem. ”
What to do? What to do?
Adler's name shook the crowd like a grim reaper, and they scratched at each other's ears.
"Five."
With the first delicate countdown, Balu Huoran turned around and stared at Ah Zao.
"You, what do you want to do?" Ah Zao was stared at by Balu's eyes and felt uncomfortable.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!" Balu rushed over angrily, "Did you see it, did you see it!" ”
"Stand back, you are not allowed to touch a date." Lord Poker quickly stood in front of Ah Zao.
"Four."
"Oh my God. I bet it's nothing more than a banana missing, and it's all you kid......" Barulian said, crouching on the ground in pain.
Everyone understood what he meant, and the petals were only one step away from fully blooming, and maybe throwing another banana at this time would solve all the problems.
But there are no more bananas.
Ah Zao just ate a banana, but that banana became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Three."
The delicate countdown sounded mercilessly.
"Zao." Lingling quickly grabbed Ah Zao, who wanted to move, "You didn't do anything wrong, you can't be blamed for this." ”
"Jujube!" Ziqi also grabbed his round body tightly, "What do you want to do?" ”
"I, I don......'t know," Ah Zao said blankly, "I'm just hungry and ate a banana, which is a trivial matter in my hometown." I don't know how to cause so much trouble for everyone here......"
"Two."
"Yes, it's all your fault!"
With the first reproach, the accusatory voices in the dazed crowd boiled.
"Yes, it's just you."
"You implicated everyone, do you know?"
"Adler is not joking when he knows!"
"It's all your fault, Humpty Dumpty!"
"You bastard!"
"Lao Tzu killed you!"
The sound hit, like a flood finding a breakthrough.
The accusation gradually turned into abuse, in fact, how many people on this long street have not eaten bananas?
But once something goes wrong, no one dares to resist the power, and no one blames themselves. Anyway, there will always be someone who will be the target of everyone's fire.
Jujube is such a goal.
"Who dare!" Lord Poker roared loudly while protecting Ah Zao.
"One."
The delicate voice is still very penetrating in the noisy crowd.
"I ...... I ......" Ah Zao's face was red and his ears were red, and he bowed his head like a person who had committed an unforgivable mistake under the reproach of the crowd.
At this moment, Balu, who was squatting on the ground, slowly raised his head and looked at Ah Zao, "You haven't paid yet, have you?" ”
This is quite a bad sentence, and it is also like the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Although Ah Zao is burly, he is only four years old after all, and his way of thinking about problems is very simple.
A banana made it difficult for everyone to move an inch, forcing the poker master to take out the precious playing cards and pistols at the same time.
Now it's my fault that everyone on the street is in a huge panic.
In the end, this nasty man was right, I haven't paid yet.
It's all my fault......
"Jujube!"
With the exclamations of Ziqi and the others, Ah Zao's round body spun, and everyone couldn't pull it.
"Goodbye, everyone." Ah Zao said goodbye softly, and his whole body rose into the air, flying towards the flower that was almost completely blooming.
With a snort, it seemed to fall into a pile of cotton, and the jujube disappeared.
"Zero."
Rongge's voice was belated.
"You bastard!" Master Poker dragged Baru, who was squatting on the ground, up.
At this moment, the last little curl of the petals is completely smoothed, and a huge peach blossom is bathed in the afternoon sun.
"Hehe, very good, very good, you really still have a way." Rongge's voice was charming, "I think these tributes are enough to make the baby lion happy, you can do business with peace of mind, Adler will not come for a while." Hehehe. ”
With Rongge's coquettish laughter, the three black horses turned the front of the car silently. All the stall owners stood silently on the side of the road, as when the carriage first came, bowing their heads and not moving.
The horse's legs began to take the same pace again, and the huge peach blossom carriage slowly drove forward.
"Stop!" Master Poker yelled at the carriage, his hands still clutching Baru's collar.
But the carriage did not react, only a few withered yellow fallen leaves that were gently lifted by the wheels silently responded to Lord Poker.
"Bastard." Master Poker said softly as he looked at the carriage that was moving away.
The sun was gradually setting in the west, he looked at Ziqi and Lingling beside him, and then coldly glanced at Balu, who was still struggling, and shouted: "Let's chase!" ”
After saying that, Lord Poker rushed out with Baru, who was much taller than himself.
"Hey, what are you going to do with me...... Balu found that he couldn't break free from one of the poker masters' hands, so he could only run forward helplessly.
"Shut up." Master Poker said unceremoniously.
Ziqi and Lingling glanced at each other, and also rushed forward quickly.
The carriage ran faster and faster, creaking over the bluestone road, and behind the carriage were the poker lords who were chasing closely, the helpless Balu, as well as Ziqi and Lingling.
As the long street drew to a close, the stall owners on either side remained silent with their heads bowed, as if nothing had anything to do with them.
