Chapter 199: Buying a Hedgehog

"Really, really!" The hedgehog turned around with difficulty, carefully not letting the sharp thorns on his body touch the tea customers around him, and glared at Xiao Yuan's eyes and said, "Villains are born like this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The guest officer is also right not to believe it. Although the hedgehog clan has a keen sense of hearing, it cannot reach the level of a villain unless a specific talent is activated. The villain has a litter of four brothers and sisters, and only the villain is different and has heard since he was a child. If it weren't for that, the villain wouldn't have been able to find a job in this teahouse. ”

"Oh?" Cheng Ziming was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "You can work here, and it has something to do with extraordinary hearing?"

The hedgehog nodded vigorously: "The guest officer must have felt strange why the teahouse would hire a hedgehog as a partner." Dissatisfied with the guest officer, the villain's thorn can cause trouble. Just like just now, it is common to prick guests, be scolded, be poured boiling water, and be plucked. Sometimes the guests are angry and will give the villain a few kicks. Some of the spirit boots are so strong that the villain's thorns can't pierce them, and it hurts to be kicked.

But even if the guests complain, the villain can still work here to earn spirit stones, just because the villain has excellent hearing. The guest officer is so smart, he understands it after a little thought. In such a noisy place, no matter how loud the voice is, it is impossible to shout outside the hall for the people in the hall to hear. Guests want to add water, add snacks, check out, no matter how loud the voice is, there are times when the guys can't hear it. But whenever this happens, it's time for the villain to play. No matter where in the hall or what was shouted, the villain could hear it clearly. No one greeted the guests, and the villain hurried to the top. You can't just ignore a guest just because you didn't hear it, can you?"

"I see. Cheng Ziming touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

After the hedgehog explained, he nodded, and said to Cheng Ziming: "Guest officer, you have to follow closely this time." With that, it turned and continued to lead the way. Cheng Ziming hurriedly followed.

As he walked, he thought: I just listened to the discussion of those tea customers, and they were also talking about the loss of children at home. One key point in particular is noteworthy.

It occurred to him that there was no one at home, the courtyard was intact, and the lost child seemed to have run away from home by himself, wasn't the process of Fu Xiaodie being lured out of the house very similar?

Could it be that the lost child was bewitched by the white phantom moth like Fluttershy, and then walked out of the yard by himself in a daze? If so, then it was probably the same group. It's just that why hasn't the lost child been found yet? After Fu Xiaodie's soul was captured, she was soon found by the Fu family.

Or perhaps, these two things were not related in the first place, but they were just because they wanted to find clues too much, and inadvertently linked the two things together? Cheng Ziming was a little unsure.

As for the behavior of the tea customers who rushed to check out and fled just now, this is very understandable. After all, they had just casually scolded the Demon Emperor for being "an old fool who was getting more and more demented", which immediately attracted the attention of strangers. In this case, it is easy to mistakenly think that Cheng Ziming is here to report them, and it is normal to leave quickly.

A moment later, the hedgehog took Cheng Ziming to a free square table. The hedgehog diligently moved the chair, invited Cheng Ziming to sit down, and then handed over the menu of tea and snacks.

Cheng Ziming flipped through the menu and found that the things were not expensive. Judging from the menu, this tea house is also considered to be good and cheap, no wonder it is crowded. He casually ordered a few signature snacks, asked for a pot of special spirit tea, and then took out twenty lower-grade spirit stones and handed them to the hedgehog.

The hedgehog stretched out his two paws, respectfully took the spirit stone, and put it into the storage bracelet along with the menu. Obviously, the owner of this teahouse has a good conscience, and specially equipped the guys with storage bracelets with the teahouse's signboard, so that these guys will not be allowed to run around with the menu and spirit stones in their hands.

"Please wait a moment, tea and snacks will be here soon. The hedgehog finished speaking softly, and bowed down to retreat.

"Wait. Cheng Ziming stopped the hedgehog and asked it with a serious face: "Don't brag, to be honest, is your hearing really as exaggerated as what you just said?

The hedgehog was stunned, and looked in the direction pointed by Cheng Ziming, only to see that in the far corner, there was half a small square table, and two tea guests were drinking tea and talking in a whisper.

"Oh. The hedgehog blinked his little eyes like black beans, and said hesitantly: "Guest officer, don't hide it, the villain can hear the shouting, footsteps, tea, and chewing snacks in any corner of the hall, but only the sound of the distinguished guests chatting and talking, the villain will never hear it, and he will never dare to listen to it." ”

"Hi. Cheng Ziming thought to himself: This hedgehog was afraid of being doused with boiling tea, and he was too careful, for fear of getting into some trouble. It seems that it is difficult to embolden it without first showing sincerity.

So Cheng Ziming casually turned out ten lower-grade spirit stones, put them on the table and slowly pushed them in front of the hedgehog, and said, "You worked hard to lead the way just now, this is a reward for you." I didn't mean anything else, but I just thought that your speech was a bit exaggerated, so I asked. It's not that you actually listen to the conversation at the table in the distance, it's just to figure out if you can really hear it. Don't lie or exaggerate this!"

"Hey, hey. When the hedgehog saw the spirit stone, he immediately smiled, put away the spirit stone with a smile, nodded and said, "Thank you for the reward." The villain has been doused with hot tea countless times, and for the first time, there are guests who sympathize with the villain and reward the villain. ”

It paused, and replied cautiously, "It is no exaggeration to say that the villain has an extraordinary sense of hearing. Although the guests at the table in the distance deliberately lowered their voices, the villain could still hear them clearly. As for what they said specifically, the villain has a bad memory, his left ear goes in and out of his right ear, his words are not hearty, his words are not brainy, and he forgets it in a blink of an eye. ”

"Oh. Cheng Ziming felt that this hedgehog was really slippery, and he could say anything. But he didn't bother with it, and he wasn't interested in invading the privacy of other tea customers anyway.

"That's right. I'd like to inquire about something. I don't have a clue about it, and it's a headache for me. But just now, I overheard a conversation with a table of guests, which seemed to have something to do with it. Unfortunately, before I could inquire, the table left in a hurry. Cheng Ziming sighed lightly and continued: "Since clues have been found here, then the next clue is likely to appear here."

It's just that I usually have a lot of things to do, so I can't stay in the teahouse all day long. You're a guy here, and you're a good hearing, so you're in the best position to help me keep an eye on the news. ”
