Chapter 1 Buying a Cat
West City of Chang'an.
A black-robed man was walking in the bustling crowd with a cold face.
A fluffy head popped out of the placket of his coat, and a pair of golden cat's eyes wandered around the street vendors.
"Here we are." The man paused outside a dental shop, "There are still cases to be done." ”
As he spoke, he lifted the black cat out of his clothes.
"Slow! Wait! Miao Miaomiao's claws immediately hooked his clothes, "You are not allowed to go!" ”
“?” The man ripped her off, and a few silk threads were hooked out of her good robe, "I am on official business......
Before he could finish speaking, the black cat hugged his trouser leg: "You are the only person I can trust now...... What am I going to do if you're gone! ”
"Huh?" The man's eyes flickered.
"I can't count on my master's pit! Now the only one you can rely on is you! The Great Detective! ”
The man's trouser legs were wet with her crying.
Passers-by looked sideways.
"Ah, you see how human this cat is...... Knowing that the owner was going to throw it away, it clung to its master's leg and did not let go of its claws. ”
"yes...... It's so miserable that my heart breaks when I hear it! ”
"This master's heart is really ruthless, such a cute cat hugging his trouser legs, and he is not moved at all!"
In an instant, Si Detective Xing actually became the object of everyone's condemnation.
Seeing that the man's face was getting darker and darker, Miao Miaomiao trembled, stopped screaming, and looked up at him with tears in her eyes.
The four looked at each other for a while, and finally Si Detective Xing sighed lightly.
He leaned over to pick her up, and walked into the tooth shop.
Before Miao Miaomiao could figure out why the change in the man's attitude before and after was so huge, an enthusiastic tooth man greeted her.
"Are you here to sell cats, this boy?"
He had already seen it clearly at the door just now, and the cold-faced boy in front of him must have disliked his cat, and now he came here to find a home for her!
Ay...... What a pathetic cat.
When Miao Miaomiao heard this, she yelled at the tooth man: "You only sell cats!" Your whole family sells cats! ”
The corner of the man's mouth hooked: "Hmm." ”
"Huh? What are you?! The black cat looked at the man in front of him in shock, "You don't really want to sell me, do you?" ”
When the tooth man heard this, he touched his chin and looked at her: "Hmm...... The appearance is good, what a dark cloud, is this look...... Ahem, it's a bit fierce. ”
He took back the hand that was about to touch the black cat in time: "How much does Childe plan to bid?" ”
"Bid?" Si Detective Xing actually began to think about it in a matter-of-fact manner.
Miao Miaomiao panicked: "Si Detective Xing! You dare to sell me?! ”
She came here to find a house to invest, after all, the house in Chang'an City has a price every day, and she buys it early and makes money early.
But who would have thought that someone would be regarded as "selling himself".
"Five ......"
"You dare!" The black cat threw a warning look.
“……”
The tooth man rubbed his hands: "Seeing that the son is not good at offering, then I will quote a price to see if the son accepts the ......"
He said and held out a finger: "One penny." How is it? ”
"Which eye do you see that the old lady is only worth a penny?!" If it weren't for Si Zhenxing holding her, she would have pounced and beaten her!
The man shook his head.
"That'...... Add another fifty wen? The tooth man tentatively stretched out five fingers.
"Is the old lady only worth one penny and fifty wen?!"
Seeing that the man shook his head again, the tooth man gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Two coins!" It couldn't be any higher. Childe, to tell you the truth, a few days ago, there was a person looking for a black cat! He only paid two coins of silver, and I spent a long time salivating here, and I didn't even put aside a tea money. ”
"The devil believes in you! Two dollars in, two dollars out, what about you doing charity?! Miao Miaomiao rolled her eyes.
"What is that guy doing looking for a black cat?" The focus of Si Detective Xing is always different from that of normal people.
"Can't people just like me?" The black cat shook its ears.
The tooth man looked left and right, approached him to cover his mouth and whispered, "Ward off evil spirits." ”
"Ward off evil spirits?" The man looked down, as if he felt that the black cat in his arms was of great use, "Can I meet that person outside?" If it's fate, it doesn't hurt if the cat is given away for nothing. ”
“WTF?! I'm a royal cat! You dare to send me away?! Put me down! I want to see the emperor! I'm going to sue! ”
She thought that this Si Detective Xing was an honest man and could take care of things, but it turned out that this guy was even worse than Si Yubai!
Woowoo......
Master......
Help me......
"This ......," the tooth man rolled his eyes hesitantly.
"Don't worry, I will never meet him privately, and I will also negotiate with you."
Seeing that he understood the rules so well, the tooth man also relaxed: "Since this is the case, then I will talk to that outsider, and you will come back this afternoon." ”
"Hmm." Si Detective Xing nodded lightly, and hugged the black cat out of his teeth.
Miao Miaomiao tried to struggle, but to no avail, the man's hands firmly bound her.
"That...... Detective ......"
"Huh?"
"You're not really going to sell me, are you? If you are short of money, where do I have three thousand taels of gold, and if you take it back, I will be filial to ......."
"Phew! Si Detective Xing! Put me down! ”
"Master?!" Her savior has finally arrived! Woooooo She's saved!
……
It was past noon.
The weather was a bit hot, and there were noticeably fewer people on the streets than in the morning.
Si Detective Xing arrived as promised.
He was followed by a white-haired man in a Taoist robe, a black cat in his arms.
Miao Miaomiao asked Si Yubai at the beginning why she wanted to dye her hair white.
Si Yubai "hummed" her voice, indicating that she didn't understand, this was called "authority".
"I don't know if it's authoritative or not, I only know that white hair is easier to deceive people."
Miao Miaomiao's complaint was accurate, which provoked Si Zhen Xing to nod slightly.
"Oops!" When the tooth man saw them, he immediately greeted them, "This son came really early, and the money clerk hasn't arrived yet!" Sit down for tea first. ”
He hurriedly made the tea and poured it: "This Taoist chief is ......"
Si Zhenxing picked up the tea and blew: "He is my friend, I heard that the family bought a black cat to ward off evil spirits, so he also came over to have a look." ”
"Poor Dao Bai Yu." Si Yubai's gorgeous hair does look a little cultivated.
The tooth man smiled respectfully: "I have dirty dust here, which makes the Taoist chief uncomfortable......"
"It doesn't matter."
As soon as the man's voice fell, a rich man with a fan came in outside the door.
This man has a round face and round eyes, and his stomach is round and rumbling.
A pair of hands stretched out, fingers like lotus roots.
"Tooth Man! Is the cat seller coming? When he said a word, he had to take two breaths, as if he had climbed Mount Tai.
"This person's popularity is so weak."
Miao Miaomiao screamed and was listened to by the rich man.
He looked at the black cat in Si Yubai's arms, and his eyes lit up.
"Outside of the money, this is the cat you're looking for, right?" The tooth man smiled and rubbed his hands, "This cat doesn't have a single stray hair on its body, and it's very psychic." ”
"Psychic? How so? Qian Yuanwai frowned, crossed his waist and bent down to look at her carefully.
His fat nose is about to touch her face!
Miao Miaomiao suffocated to death, and shrank her head back.
Sokai !
You canopy!
"This is the owner of the black cat, the Bai Yu Immortal of Baiyun Temple!" The tooth man is so sharp and sharp, it's really easy to lie.
