Chapter 180: Retreating May-sama (Happy New Year!)
An old dog with a wrinkled skin and no collar around his neck walked slowly down the pedestrian street of Betatown. *Say, "Dream", "Small", .com
Behind it was an old wizard in gray robes and a heavy wooden staff.
The old wizard had gray hair, but he was tall, and he walked with a vigorous demeanor, and the long wooden staff in his hand struck on the bluestone pavement, and the sound made the hearts of those who listened tremble.
If Zheng Qing was here, he would definitely recognize this old wizard at a glance - he was the old school worker who was once in charge of the night patrol management of Linzhong Lake, the old man of Verne. And that old dog is naturally Lord May.
For the shops on the pedestrian street that are a little older, the old man of Verne and the old man of May are not strange faces. Although the old man spends most of his time on the campus of First University, he also walks around the streets from time to time to buy something. After a long time, they are also acquaintances.
"Uncle came a little early today," Master Tang of Shuangtang Ji stretched his head out of the window and greeted with a smile, "Do you want a copy ......of 'Dragon Knight vs. Lich King'? I pondered for two months before I came up with the idea of using sesame candy sticks to create a dragon's body - white sesame seeds as belly scales, black sesame seeds as back scales, and the scales splashed everywhere, and the effect was quite good!"
The old man of Verne stopped, looked over the round head outside the window, and shouted in a rough voice, "Old Don, old Tang, your son has spoiled your sugar again!"
When Master Xiao Tang heard this, his face was like earth, his head slipped in, and his figure disappeared behind the window in the blink of an eye.
Soon, another round head emerged from the window—this one had a lot of similarities between the eyebrows and eyes of the previous one, except that the new head had a lot more gray hair.
Old Master Tang looked at the old man Verne, smiled and said, "You came out so early...... That kid likes to toss around, just let him toss, anyway, this store will be handed over to him in the end, and when the toss is over, let him go to the new world by himself...... Would you like something today?"
The old man of Verne looked at Old Master Tang for a long time before sighing slightly, "You are also a big heart...... Is the New World a good place to wander around? How nice it would be for that stinky boy to open a shop in peace...... I don't want it today, I just ate the front hall of the candy house I bought last time...... I have to admit that the weeds in the vestibule garden taste great, what do you make it from?"
"Exclusive formula!" After Old Master Tang heard the praise of the old man Verne, he was immediately overjoyed, and his eyebrows fluttered, "I can only tell you that I burned three standard talismans when I was planting grass!"
"Whew! No wonder you dare to sell three jade coins!"
"This new store next to me sells cheaply...... Her donuts are so sweet that you're sure to like them. Old Master Tang tilted his head, nodded at the meow dessert shop next to him with his chin, and said to the old man Verne, "Even if you don't like to eat, Lord May definitely loves to eat...... Right, May-sama!"
As he spoke, he smiled at the old dog at the old man's feet.
The old school worker shook his head, "Well, I don't have time today, what else is there to do...... Check it out another day. ”
Listening to the conversation between the two old men, the old dog just flicked its big fluffy tail and did not squeak, and even its wrinkled eyes did not open.
"Lord May is still so calm. Old Master Tang smacked his lips and asked, "What can happen in the morning?" I remember that you were the supervisor of the night patrol. ”
"Transferred. The old school worker said lightly, and then pulled back the topic: "It's a student I knew before, who opened a new shop on the pedestrian street, and it seems to be selling rats and bugs...... Sent me an invitation. It just so happens that in the last few days, the old man in May wants to eat braised rat head, and I went to see if the new store has any stock. ”
"New shop?" Old Master Tang was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly realized, and said, "Oh, yes, yes, it's Lin Guo's newly opened shop, it seems to be called a jingle bell insect catching shop? They also sent me invitations at the time, but the store was too busy to leave. ”
"It just so happens that you are tired of helping us send this 'KOF2008 Boutique Competition' to them as an opening gift...... Lin Guo's kid works very hard and must be encouraged. ”
While speaking, Master Xiao Tang was already holding a small gift box with a height of a few feet, ran out with a smoke, and sent it to the old school worker.
Through the transparent lid of the gift box, the old man Verne could clearly see that a group of bean-sized figures were wrestling and fighting each other in the box.
Noticing the gaze of the old school worker, Master Xiao Tang immediately explained, "There is a 'change of shape' pasted on the outside of this box, and the size has been adjusted slightly. When eating, peel off the rune paper first, which will not affect the taste at all. ”
"This is also something that the stinky boy has recently made up, and the store has not been officially opened yet...... There is no lightness or weight in doing things, and there is no concentration at all. Old Master Tang was half-hung in the cupboard window, although his mouth was saying reprimanding words, but his tone was full of pride.
Naturally, the old man of Verne would not fail to hear what he said.
He took the gift box, hung it on the wooden staff, nodded to the two Tang masters, and finally said, "Then I won't bother...... It's getting late, so I'll go to their store and talk about the candy house later. ”
"You go slowly!" Master Xiao Tang bent down respectfully.
The old schoolman waved his hand, then leaned on his wooden cane and continued to stride forward.
Turning the corner, he hadn't taken a few steps, and the old hound, Lord May, who had been following him at his feet, suddenly whined twice, and refused to go any further.
"Is there a situation?" the old school worker immediately looked around vigilantly, and the tip of the wooden staff in his hand faintly flickered a little dull green.
May-sama flicked his tail and whined a few times in his throat.
Although he didn't roar or speak, the old school worker still easily understood what the old man meant.
"You mean, you don't want to go there because it smells bad?" the old schoolmaster raised his eyebrows, glanced at the old hound at his feet, and then looked up at the newly opened shop not far away.
The neatly arranged flower baskets at the entrance of the store, the bustling crowd, and the scattered flowers above their heads clearly explained something to the old school workers—and even more tellingly, the bustling crowd seemed to have been attacked by something, and were fleeing in panic.
The old man put his hand into his arms, and after a moment of painstaking fumbling, he finally found a red and black card, looked at the gilded characters on it, and read it word by word, "Ding Ding Finance and Pest Control Company...... Abbreviated as 'd≈ap; k’!”
Then the old man looked up and squinted at the shop.
That's right, although there are still a few colorful silk strips hanging on the shop sign, the old man can still clearly recognize the name of the sign through those interferences. It was indeed the new store he was looking for.
"Aren't they selling rats and bugs??," the old school worker muttered to himself, and the wooden staff in his hand paused lightly on the ground, "Since you don't want to go over, then lie down here and find a leeward place...... I'll go to see if they have any good mouse heads in the store, and by the way, help Master Tang give a gift. ”
The old hound May-sama whimpered, nodded, and unhurriedly took two steps back, chose a place with sunshine in the leeward, and then lay down peacefully.
