Chapter Seventy-Five: Tiger Skin
Returning to the tavern again, the shopkeeper immediately vacated a corner window position for Ma Shuo about four tables!
When he first heard the news that the child had escaped from the lion's mouth, this middle-aged man was almost scared to death on the spot! That was the true overlord of the grassland in the beast world!
Not to mention a five- or six-year-old child, how many adults can stand in front of those guys without being scared?
How many people will survive?
Ancestors bless!
The big guy who was so frightened didn't hurt anyone, and what was even more bizarre was that he would show the kind of state that only he would have when facing his master and the lion king - lying down!
Almost all adults in North Sank know what it means: I'm safe, or you can be trusted!
First time meeting, is it possible?
Most people in North Sanke can easily become animal trainers if they are in other countries! Because there are so many animals here, this habit of loving animals has become a custom!
A grand festival that is held across the country every spring – the Festival of the Beasts!
We learn from animals, get food, fur, and happiness from animals, and we can get almost inexhaustible fertilizers, herbs, and even the art of killing!
The lion is one of the most important representatives of the killing atmosphere!
The Red Square Circus, which he had heard of before, was one of the two circuses in North Sanke!
To be able to set up a circus in a land full of animal tamers, and to have been doing well for five or six years!
But if the lion can escape from the cage, it proves that the animal trainer is a newcomer, and the lion must not be trained well!
Fortunately, the child is fine, and the fewer people who know about it, the better! The shopkeeper who bowed down and stood on the side, looked at the child who was sitting on pins and needles, and secretly thought!
Since Ma Shuo returned to the tavern, he has been stared at like this for seven or eight minutes!
Uncomfortable! Awkward! Nervous!
There were various emotions, and the eighth time he raised his head and showed a more stiff smile: "Excuse me, is there anything wrong with you, shopkeeper?"
The shopkeeper immediately grinned and shook his head and explained: "Oh, it's really okay, it's okay! That is, I'm worried about whether you need anything, and the small one can be arranged immediately at any time!"
Same question, almost the same answer! The only difference is that a few tens of seconds have passed!
Isn't it a way to do this all the time, doesn't the child really know what he wants to express?
Is it simple, or is it deliberately stupid?
The shopkeeper's eyes are rolling, shouldn't he be clear?
Ma Shuo had already recovered from the fright at this moment, and when he carefully recalled the scene at that moment just now, he even felt that the lion was a little cute and cute!
Of course, this is just a feeling, an experiential instinct that is different from rational thinking, and not sensual!
"You, you just now, that lion?" the shopkeeper opened his mouth several times to ask, but he couldn't find a suitable way, and finally gritted his teeth: "Can you just tell the captain of the guard about the lion just now?"
The more the voice ends, the more difficult it is to hear, as if it means that the shopkeeper's confidence is also weakened to the limit!
"Lion?" Ma Shuo was stunned when he heard this, why did he tell the chief of the guard? There doesn't seem to be any inevitable connection between this!
What can the chief of the guard do?
Is it better to kill the animal tamer or the lion, and in his current state, is it really good to cause trouble again?
Completely unfamiliar environment, completely strange people, whether it is a princess, a royal guard, or even a circus, he can't afford to mess with!
"Before you get to know the surrounding environment and various relationships, don't offend any unknown people or forces!"
Grandpa's words are still vivid, now Ma Shuo has no ability, and living and being familiar with the environment has become the most important thing!
At this moment, several drunkards in the middle of the tavern whispered a few words, and one of them, a bald fat man, patted his bronzed belly and teased: "Hey, shopkeeper, is this kid your grandfather? Why are you like a grandson?
Before he finished speaking, he caused a round of ridicule and echoing around!
The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows slightly, pointed at the man and roared: "Get out of you old Hughes!
This angry scolding did not have the desired effect, but made most of the people in the entire tavern laugh!
Ma Shuo also smiled slightly: "Shopkeeper, please rest assured, I promise you will not tell the chief guard!"
"Chief of the guard?" Hearing the child's name, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then understood! The smile that was still maintained just now immediately put away: "That's good, since that's the case, then you sit!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, Ma Shuo was stunned by this sudden change of attitude!
Inexplicable shopkeeper!
The chief of the Leon guard pushed the door open again, and it was fifteen minutes later. He was still carrying a long wooden box, but there were no other guards beside him!
At a glance, I saw Ma Shuo, who was sitting alone in the corner, stepped forward and sat opposite and lifted the water bottle on the table, and was slightly stunned!
Is it empty?
Then he shifted his gaze to the counter, and it happened that the shopkeeper was also trotting over with a kettle at this time, ready to pour water!
However, Leon frowned slightly, and immediately grabbed Marsho's arm, and glanced at the shopkeeper who was stiff and at a loss at the table before leaving the tavern!
Although there is no need to grovel to those in power, the attitude that a businessman should have cannot be achieved! Compared to the group of merchants under Princess An, it is not a little worse!
Looks like there's something to do before leaving!
After Leon entered the tavern, the others also saw the chief guard's uniform, especially the long wooden box he was carrying, which proved that this chief guard was the "silent flame" beside Princess An!
I didn't expect that the shopkeeper who had been in Eagle City for more than ten years would offend him!
This is the red man in front of the princess! Although he is a mute, in the eyes of the mad princess, as long as Leon asks for something, there is nothing he has not agreed to so far!
Wait and see the show!
More than a dozen people at the table slowed down their drinking speed while patiently watching!
As for the shopkeeper, he can only pray at the moment, hoping that his actions just now will not bring ruin to himself!
Half an hour later, more than a dozen people under the tax officer who were in charge of shop management rushed in! The man at the head glanced around, and there was a hint of impersonal affection in his tone: "Okay, today's routine inspection, I heard that your wine and food here are not clean! All guests, please leave immediately!"
"Huhulala" All the guests rushed around the sides to leave, and the shopkeeper had no intention of stopping it!
Forced to endure the blood in his heart, he came to him with a careful smile, and asked the tavern to close as long as they said a word!
The tax officer slowly walked to the back hall while scanning the debris of wine and food around him as if he were inspecting normally, and did not look at the shopkeeper who was following the trend next to him: "Lord Lyon, this is just a routine inspection! Don't be nervous, as long as the food is clean, it's fine!"
After opening the door and taking a brief look at the back kitchen, more than a dozen people sat at the window in three tables!
"Let's bring up all the good wine and food! After eating, I will bring fifty or sixty people's wine and food to other colleagues, I heard that you have blue-tailed pheasants here? Twenty! Not much, right?"
