Chapter 30: Third Street
Butler Wu's shop reopened not long after Ye Yu took away a few valuable items such as red meteorites last time, but for some reason, Butler Wu never opened a gambling game again, lost his gimmick to attract customers, and gradually, fewer and fewer people went to Butler's shop.
Occasionally, people came in and out, but most of them came empty-handed, and the business of the shop did not seem to be optimistic, this state of affairs has been going on for a long time, but this does not affect the witch steward to continue to open the shop at all.
It's been almost a year since the last time I came here, Ye Yu gently pushed open the half-hidden door and walked in, the appearance of the store has become so that Ye Yu doubts whether he has been here, thick dust accumulates in the corner of the wall, the painting that has been hanging on the wall and has not even changed the position is a little old, there are still blown cobwebs on the glass, and the somewhat sallow poster pasted next to it Ye Yu still remembers it vividly, it is the promotional poster that he won the gamble of the witch housekeeper.
On the first floor, I didn't see the figure of Butler Wu and Ayu, Ye Yu went directly down the stairs to the third floor, and Ye Yu thought the same as before going upstairs, Butler Wu was staying on the third floor at this time, but this time Butler Wu did not lie on the bench leisurely to bask in the sun, the whole person stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window like a statue, facing the east motionlessly, the heat of the teacup in his hand had dissipated, and he had obviously maintained this standing posture for a long time.
Ayu was also there, and when she saw Ye Yu's figure coming out of the stairs, she quickly walked to the side of the witch housekeeper, and whispered that she didn't know what to say, so she went downstairs.
I don't know what the witch butler is doing this time, Ye Yu coughed lightly, and walked lightly in front of the witch butler, I haven't seen it for so long I was going to fight with the witch butler, but the moment I walked up to the witch butler, Ye Yu seemed to be choked by the neck, and clearly saw a look he had never seen before, the witch housekeeper's expression was extremely solemn, his face was a little pale, and his body exuded a suffocating aura, which was by no means caused by the downturn in the store.
Ye Yu restrained his playful temperament and looked to the east, the river in the town disappeared between the high mountains in the distance, the clouds and mist between the green bamboo and pine ridges, and two or three wild cranes soared in the sky, without seeing any signs of uneasiness, and asked puzzledly: "Butler Wu, what's wrong with this early in the morning?"
Steward Wu slowly turned his head, his face did not improve at all, he looked at Ye Yu thoughtfully, sighed and said, "Don't stay in Ye Yuge at this time, what are you doing here?"
The witch housekeeper's uncharacteristic behavior was like a code for two spies to report the news, which made Ye Yu can't help but be alert, and said in a low voice: "If the witch housekeeper has something, I won't bother me much." ”
"It's just a trivial matter, don't worry, it's you, you haven't been here for almost a year, and you suddenly came over, what's the matter?" Steward Wu glanced at Ye Yu and asked.
"Today is my birthday, I want to send some gifts to Ye Yuge's servants, after thinking about it, I decided to take the pet beast as a gift, but I don't know where the pet beast shop that Aunt He said is, and I can't find Aunt He and her, so I have to come to you to ask. Ye Yu explained.
"Oh, I see, this is simple, the third street in the west area of Jieyu Town, go there and find someone to inquire, there are a lot of pet beast shops, and the pet beasts sold in them are basically the same, you can see for yourself. Butler Wu said.
This time, the witch housekeeper did not give Ye Yu any advice, and Ye Yu also saw that the witch housekeeper didn't want to say more, so he nodded, thanked him and left the store in a hurry.
The West District is also called the West District Downtown by the locals, there are a total of four downtown in Jieyu Town, which are located in the east, west, north and south are in a direction, the last time I went to the North District downtown in order to cast a psychic bracelet, and the pet beast shop was opened in the West District downtown area.
Although there are very few visits to Jieyu Town, in order to find the location of the pet shop, Ye Yu carefully read the map of the entire Jieyu Town from beginning to end, and his understanding of the layout of the town is no worse than walking around the town in person, and he knows very well where the third street in the downtown area of the West District is, and he does not need to ask anyone.
After crossing the river by boat, I walked hundreds of meters ashore, crossed the iconic avenue that drew the east and west north districts, and then turned left for a short distance to enter the first street of the north district, because the pet beast shops are opened in the downtown area of the west district, in addition to the people of Jieyu Town will come here to see, the people of the neighboring town will also come here, so that there are many people who are attracted by the pet beast shop alone.
Ye Yu glanced at the people around him without a trace, most of them walked in the direction of Third Street like himself, Ye Yu got into the crowd and walked forward faster.
Getting closer and closer to the Third Street, the cry of the pet beast became clearer and clearer, Ye Yu walked to the corner that intersected with the Third Street and paused, turned his head and saw that a cage was placed outside each shop on both sides of the street, and from the outside, it could be seen that there was a pet beast the size of a palm, obediently lying in the cage and watching the people coming and going, making a cry that could not feel a trace of the primitive beast nature that the beast clan should have.
It is no wonder that the pet beast itself was born from the breeding of the beast clan, and after the domestication of the beast tamer, the fierce and brutal nature flowing in the blood of the beast clan was purified, and the oath of loyalty to humans was like a curse mark on Ye Yu's arm deeply embedded in consciousness, and then the pet beast that people saw was like this.
If it weren't for the selection of pet beasts for the servants, Ye Yu, who already had a psychic beast, would not have thought of coming here to take a look, and went inside, the business of every pet beast shop was extremely hot, and many people stood in line outside, holding a wooden card with a number written on it, and when they heard the sound of calling from the store, the people outside the door glanced at the wooden card in their hands.
There are a lot of pet beast shops here, Ye Yu is not in a hurry, he is going to take a walk around first, and just go inside, suddenly a figure flashed by, blocking the way, Ye Yu took a step back vigilantly.
A man wearing the sleeve of a yellow coat rolled his elbow at Ye Yu and grinned, and said: "This young master, I see that you have an extraordinary temperament and are handsome, young talents like you are rare, and it is fate to meet you today, if you are not in a hurry, you might as well move to the store to take a look, maybe there is a pet beast you can look at." ”
Ye Yu was stunned for a moment, looked up at the door of the store, the plaque hung high was carved with the four big characters of "century-old shop", judging from the texture and texture, this plaque is made of very expensive green forest wood, and then looked at the visitor with a respectful look, relieved himself and pointed to the nearest store and said: "You are the owner of this pet beast shop?"
"No, no, no, I'm not, the boss has something to do and went out temporarily, I'm the second shopkeeper of this store. ”
"Oh, I think this shop is also magnificent, you can take me inside and have a look. Ye Yu said lightly.
