Chapter 10: The Snobbish Shopkeeper
After the customers in the store finished eating one after another, or went out or returned to the room, the shopkeeper suddenly remembered why the two Hanako had not come out yet, and asked a guy to take a look in the backyard.
When the guy got to the back, he saw Ayu and Lin Xiu sitting with their backs to people, their heads covered with grass residue, as if they were waiting for something, and the guy shouted angrily: "You two hurry back to the house after eating, don't affect our business here......"
Hearing the man's voice, Ayu and Lin Xiu stood up, and when they turned their heads, they startled the guy, only to see that the faces of the two of them who were clean just now were now smeared with a lot of black ash, and their eyes were brighter and their teeth were whiter.
"What the hell are you two doing, making it like this, our house is ruined!" The guy was a little annoyed, the place where these two ancestors lived, there was a faint strange smell of incense.
Ayu scratched her head, the grass residue made her a little itchy in her hair, and she said a little apologetically, "We are here waiting for the guests to finish eating, our brother and sister are leaving, go out and thank the shopkeeper." ”
"I'm leaving!" The man's face instantly improved, "Come with me." ”
After listening to Ayu's thanks, the shopkeeper raised his eyelids slightly, and the abacus in his hand did not stop, "Then please let the two of you go." ”
"And ......"
Ayu hesitated for a moment, taking care of people like them, King Huainan was only sympathetic for a while, and she didn't let go of her heart at all, but she still felt that she had to express her gratitude.
The shopkeeper saw that the two of them were still standing still after saying goodbye, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What, do you still want money?" ”
Ayu hurriedly waved her hand, "No...... No, can you let me use your pen and ink? ”
The shopkeeper just wanted to get angry, and remembered the origin of the two of them, but he endured it, and signaled to the guy, who picked up pen and ink and a piece of paper and put it on the table in the store, and said a little sarcastically: "Write, if you can write, will you still be like this?" ”
Ayu didn't bother to pay attention to him, picked up the wolf that had been split and dipped it in ink, and wrote it on the paper, the guy who originally wanted to see the excitement gradually changed his face, and Lin Xiu on the side also admired Ayu.
After Ayu finished writing the letter, carefully dried the ink, came to the counter and handed it to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper took it and glanced at it, as if it had been struck by lightning, it instantly changed color, and the hand holding the paper trembled slightly.
I saw that it was written on the paper: "His Royal Highness the King of Huainan respects, thanks to His Royal Highness's question, I am grateful, and I am especially grateful to express my gratitude." Praise Yi'an, Ayu worships. ”
"Huai...... The ...... sent by the king of Huainan to you "The shopkeeper stumbled.
Lin Xiu had long been unhappy with the snobbery of the shopkeeper, and when he saw him like this, he grabbed in front of Ayu and said, "Yes, didn't the uncle who sent us here last night tell you?" He is the guard of the king of Huainan......"
"Ah Xiu," Ah Yu stopped Lin Xiu, "We're leaving, thank you to the shopkeeper for taking you in." ”
Lin Xiu pouted and walked out of the inn and waited for Ayu outside, Ayu thanked the shopkeeper again, turned around and walked outside.
"The owner...... Landlord! The guy anxiously whispered to the shopkeeper who was still in a daze, "People are leaving......
"Quick...... Go pack some silver! The shopkeeper came to his senses and walked out of the counter as he anxiously instructed the man, "Wait...... Wrap two more sets of good clothes......"
Ayu and Lin Xiu took a few steps, and the shopkeeper had already run in front of them to block the way, with a smile on their faces, "Two, ahead...... That one...... Excuse me! ”
At this time, the guy who took Ayu and them upstairs last night also ran over, and the shopkeeper kicked over, "It's all to blame for this little rabbit cub, and I don't ask who sent the uncle and the girl......"
The guy was a little aggrieved, "Boss, isn't that what you said to the uncle who sent them?" How do you blame me! ”
