Chapter 6 Temporary Renovation of Zhangling Town
There is a pancake shop on the right side of the road, which is where Wei Xiaoyu's father often eats breakfast when he passes by here. Probably because of her weak heart, she didn't go to patronize, but bought five meat buns at the steamed bun shop next door, and a whole bundle of mineral water in the small supermarket opposite.
At the door of the bun shop, there was a stray dog covered in long hair and cake, barking at her, and she could understand that it was saying that it was hungry. So she broke open a bun and threw the meat filling to it, and was seen by the owner of the bun shop next to her, and smacked her lips in distress.
Back in the car parked on the side of the road, put the water in the back seat of the car, she took out a bun from the plastic bag and asked the little gentleman: "Do you want to tear it into pieces for you, so that you can bite it?"
The little gentleman gave her a blank look, flew to the bun in her hand, pecked and ate it himself, swaying his head left and right, looking like a bird of prey tearing at its prey, but it was too small and a little funny.
Wei Xiaoyu put the bun in her hand on the dashboard, took the round cage, and wanted to open it to feed the little snake some water and bun skin, but she didn't know how to open it no matter how she studied. Just as she was about to ask the little gentleman, she found that he was staring blankly at her, and said, "What are you doing?" ”
Wei Xiaoyu was not accustomed to its calm tone at the moment, and replied worriedly: "I want to feed it some food." ”
The little gentleman still said expressionlessly: "That talisman can replenish its nutrients and energy, so you are also going to feed it superfluous things." ”
Wei Xiaoyu said: "Then it would be nice if we got one too, don't you say?"
The little gentleman suddenly craned his neck and roared, "Look how big it is, how big you are!
Then it suddenly put away its roar, and pushed the bun under its feet towards the dangerous little fish, but its head turned to the other side proudly.
Wei Xiaoyu realized that it wanted to tear the bun into small pieces, pretended not to hear it scolding loudly just now, took it and tore it into a little size, and stacked it on the dashboard. I poured some of the mineral water I had just bought in my hand and handed it to Mr. Xiao's mouth, and he was stunned for a moment, but he still drank it "coo-dong".
When it drank water, the small pendant in front of it always slipped down and stuck in the hand of the dangerous little fish. Only then did she see clearly that it was a small black and yellow double-sided bag with a shallow jacquard, hanging on a silver string, small and delicate.
Wei Xiaoyu asked, "The key ......?"
The little gentleman raised his drinking head, looked straight ahead with his eyes, and said, "That is a master key, which can open all the locks of mankind......! borrowed. ”
Wei Xiaoyu didn't know who Lao Jin was talking about, and one question led to more questions, she said, "I mean your pocket ......"
The little gentleman hurriedly covered his chest pocket with one paw, leaned over, and said, "Are you having bad intentions? If you want to steal my things, I know that you humans are the same." ”
Every time she spoke, she was dumbfounded by it, Wei Xiaoyu couldn't help but be a little depressed, and she quickly explained: "I want to ask you how you can put that key when the bag is so small?"
The little gentleman put down his paws, straightened his chest and said proudly: "Because this is made of dried silk from the vine of the years, there is infinite space inside!"
Wei Xiaoyu felt that maybe this was an explanation of the past, although he didn't understand what the years of vine were. She suddenly remembered that she had one of her own, and before going out, she tucked it into the zippered pocket of her backpack against her back, and so far she hadn't observed it properly.
As soon as she took out the bag from her backpack, the little gentleman shouted, "I forgot that you also have one! It's much better than mine, and I don't know what use it can be for you......"
While it was chattering and chattering, the curious Wei Xiaoyu approached the mineral water bottle in his hand to the mouth of the bag on the light green side of the bag, only to see that one end of the bottle just exceeded the beam line, and suddenly disappeared completely.
She flipped through the bag in her hand, it was still empty, and she couldn't believe her eyes, and exclaimed, "Wow, where have you gone!"
The little gentleman jumped on the steering wheel and said, "Just think about what you want to take out, and it will appear on its own." ”
Wei Xiaoyu put two fingers into the bag and probed back and forth, but it was empty, as if it couldn't touch the edge, and there was an inexplicable resistance. According to Mr. Xiao's words, she imagined the appearance of the mineral water bottle in her mind, and sure enough, she had a sense of touch. When my fingers bent and pulled the bottle out, it suddenly had a weight as if by magic, and when I didn't react, I was already holding it firmly in my hand.
She put her finger into the dark blue side of the bag again, but this time it felt like a whizzing wind, completely different from the calm feeling on the green side. At this time, she remembered that the phoenix had said that there would be some tools that could be used, and she immediately asked the little gentleman, "Do you know what is in it?"
The little gentleman said: "No, maybe there will be one when you get there, so don't grind, let's go!"
Wei Xiaoyu was a little disappointed and said, "Then we have to find a place to fix the air conditioner before leaving, right?"
The little gentleman did not answer her, nor did he deny it, but just jumped up and down, singing his own random songs, mixed with inexplicable self-talk.
Wei Xiaoyu then said: "There is a grain and oil store on the corner of the street, I'll buy you some food to bring, what do you want, rice, corn, peanuts, ?......."
The little gentleman listened and replied, "Corn corn corn, um...... And millet, grains are the most down-to-earth food!
On the corner of the street to Zhangling Town, there was a grain and oil store, where Wei Xiaoyu bought dry food for Mr. Xiao, and she herself ate three meat buns, leaving the remaining one for the time being. If the air conditioner is not repaired, this bun will be spoiled at noon in the car.
There is a yard next to the supermarket where I bought water just now, and there is a large sign with red paint on a white background hanging at the door. She slowly drove the car in, and saw a man in his forties, the corners of his mouth drooping downward, and the thin muscles that clung to his body were also falling.
He was sitting on a small wooden stool, soaking his tires in a basin for air leaks, his torn white tank top and blue cotton pants with his trousers rolled up were stained with yellow and black oil. The man looked up at her, and saw that his skin was a little shiny and his forehead had deep wrinkles, and he said "um" and beckoned her to get out of the car. Wei Xiaoyu picked up his backpack and jumped out of the car with a round cage.
The man stood up and walked past her, and said angrily, "Key." ”
Wei Xiaoyu remembered the "golden key" in her hand, and couldn't help but get nervous, how could she hand it over casually, just when she was struggling, Mr. Xiao flew to her hand and dragged the red rope out of half of the key.
She just wanted to stop it, but she saw a worn-out black plastic handle folding car key in her hand, so she hurriedly handed it over. "How did you do that?" she asked the little gentleman secretly.
But the little gentleman flew away disdainfully, and landed on the old and discolored roof of the garage, and did not answer her question.
The man saw that Wei Xiaoyu was grinding and chirping, gave her a blank look, sat in the driver's seat and fiddled with the air conditioning switch and air outlet for a while, got out of the car and turned on the engine, fumbled and checked for a while, and then said slowly: "The air outlet is normal, maybe it is necessary to add fluorine." ”
