65. Shops and road encounters
"It turns out that children like this kind of thing." Ankang touched the beard that had recently grown back on his chin, and looked at Xiaoxue who was bouncing among a group of fierce Western red lizard models and cute Western red lizard dolls with a thoughtful expression. The counters around the area were full of merchandise from the western red lizard known as the Red Dragon. There are also a series of things such as pendants, holographic projections, wallpapers, etc., and in the nearby counters, you can also see other large lizards of different colors and styles. and something that seems to be their anthropomorphism...
One of them seems to be Oman...
"That's not right, uncle! Dragon N is now the most popular series of Orion Cantilevers! It can be said that it is suitable for all ages, not just children. But your daughter is so cute, uncle. ”
Some girls who seemed to be junior high school girls who were passing by heard Ankang's self-talk, so they generously corrected Ankang's wrong concept and popularized knowledge by the way. However, some of these girls look at Xiaoxue's eyes and seem to be a little "dangerous"... The frightened An Kang had no choice but to respond with a dry smile, and then gently moved a step to the side, blocking the sight of some girls looking at Xiaoxue.
Looking around, this store with a warm atmosphere seems to sell a series of merchandise from a certain work, and it can be inferred from the information on the posters, merchandise, and whiteboards hanging on the wall that in addition to the peripherals of anime and comics, there are also peripherals for movies and TV dramas.
This kind of shop is not very unusual, and there are many in the era where Ankang lived, but if you look at the environment of the store, you can find that although the number of goods is not small, and the variety is very large, the furnishings and decorations in the store always reveal a sense of simplicity.
This is a completely different feeling from the 21st century, which specializes in selling goods, which at first glance looks very complicated, but seems to be a relatively warm fan shop.
And Ankang also swept around the other customers in the store, and found that in addition to the junior high school students who passed by just now, there were also many young women who were talking and laughing softly with the female friends next to them when choosing goods, which couldn't help but give Ankang a sense of confusion in the gift shop of his previous era.
Could it be that now ACG has finally transformed from a subculture to a real culture? Ankang couldn't help but think so, but it didn't feel like it was so.
"Daddy, Daddy! Help get that one! ”
An Kang, who was summoned by the cute voice of his adopted daughter, saw Xiaoxue jumping up and down trying to get a red dragon Q version doll shaped on a pile of gold coins from a relatively high shelf, but because of his lack of height, his hands were too short, and he couldn't touch it no matter how hard he jumped.
"It's coming, it's coming." Ankang walked over and was about to take it, when a mechanical arm hanging down from the ceiling "gently" lifted the red dragon Q version doll that Xiaoxue wanted and put it in Xiaoxue's arms.
Then, the robotic arm walked to other places in the store at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, and along the way, it also used a multi-functional manipulator to conjure up different props for cleaning, placement, and tidying. The service elf continued to explain to Xiaoxue with a smile on her face.
To be honest, this pink mechanical arm really scared Ankang a lot, after all, whoever saw their daughter suddenly have an arm hanging from her head would be very shocking, right? Especially still pink! But Xiaoxue didn't seem to be very surprised, but it was a natural result to play by accident and hold it in her hand and look left and right. Looking around, the little ladies around me didn't show any discomfort or anything about the robot arm, it seemed that they were already used to the existence of this kind of thing.
"Daddy, Daddy! Shall we just want these things? ”
Turning his head, Ankang found that Xiaoxue was holding a fierce red dragon model in her left hand, and holding the red dragon doll that had been taken down by the robot arm in her right hand, looking at Ankang with big eyes full of expectation.
Buy, buy, buy!
"Yay!" Xiaoxue jumped up happily after seeing Ankang nodding, and then immediately waved a public suspension trolley outside the store.
Dozens of minutes later.
Standing at the door of this store, looking at the various things in the trolley that can basically be called a mountain, An Kang helplessly looked at Xiaoxue holding his right hand.
"I didn't expect Xiaoxue to buy so many things."
"Yes, Dad, my room only needs these things to be arranged, and some can be placed in Dad's bedroom or living room! The red dragon is super handsome! ”
After summoning the trolley, the little girl stuffed a lot of dragon N peripherals into the trolley at a very fast speed, including four dolls and models that were about the same height as Xiaoxue. So under the formulaic smile of the "bright" service elf, Ankang paid everything.
In fact, it's not expensive~ After paying the bill, Ankang, who checked the balance of the account, saw that there was a little bit less in the account, saying that he didn't mind at all.
Pushing the trolley and leading Xiaoxue, Ankang lowered his head and said to Xiaoxue: "Xiaoxue, where are we going to go later?" ”
"Well, does Dad think it's too much? Why don't you go back to the car and put your things away? ”
Xiaoxue raised her head and looked at the pile of things about the height of two Xiaoxue on the suspension trolley, and said to Ankang very understandingly.
"It's not troublesome, don't you see that everyone else is like this."
Ankang looked around and found that the suspended trolleys in the hands of the young people passing by and passing by basically had such high or even higher goods, so he didn't care, not to mention that this one was also very convenient to push.
Seeing that Ankang didn't seem to object, Xiaoxue immediately put on a smile again, and said happily with her little hand: "Then Dad, let's continue to see other places!" ”
"Oh!"
Now that Ankang is in good health, it has become very natural to respond in a way that seemed very shameful before.
Two hours later, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon local time, Ankang pushed a higher hovering trolley with one hand, and walked to the underground parking lot with Xiaoxue, who had fallen asleep in Ankang's arms with the other.
After all, Xiaoxue is only six years old, which is the age when it is easy to get sleepy, and Xiaoxue ran around with Ankang without taking a nap this day, so she suddenly fell asleep on Ankang's thigh in a daze ten minutes ago, which made Ankang, who didn't react at once, instantly brain-dead and fell into a state of helplessness. If it weren't for the people around him who reminded him with a kind smile at that time, I'm afraid Ankang would have sent Xiaoxue to the hospital directly at that time.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator down to the basement floor, Ankang was a little surprised to see a familiar person.
"Ah, it's Mr. Ankang!" Obviously, the other party also found Ankang, and hurriedly took the hand of the girl next to him and walked over together.
However, after seeing Ankang's fingers in front of his mouth to express his quiet gesture, and seeing the sleeping little girl in Ankang's arms, all the words that the comer wanted to say were immediately held back.
"Yo, Ke Jing, and Ji Rui, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Ankang." Ke Jing's childhood sweetheart, Ji Rui, politely bowed to An Kang to greet him.
"Yes, in fact, most of the refugees from the earth and the solar system have been settled in the galaxy where New Hangzhou is located, after all, there are three planets in the Zhejiang galaxy located in the habitable zone. Well, Mr. Ankang, I'll help you move the things in the car. ”
Chatting and chatting, they had already walked to Ankang's hovercar, so Ke Jing pointed to Xiaoxue held by Ankang, and volunteered to help.
"Well, thank you then."
