Chapter 180 The Shrinking Lord May (Happy New Year!)
An old dog with wrinkled skin and no collar around its neck walked slowly on the pedestrian street of Beta Town.
Behind it followed an old wizard in gray robes and carrying a heavy wooden staff.
The old wizard had a gray beard but a tall figure. He walked with a graceful manner. The long wooden stick in his hand knocked on the bluestone pavement, making a thumping sound that made the hearts of those who heard it tremble.
If Zheng Qing were here, he would definitely recognize this old wizard at a glance - he is the old school worker who was once responsible for the night patrol management of Linzhong Lake, Old Man Verne. And that old dog is naturally Lord May.
For the slightly older shops on the pedestrian street, Old Man Verne and Lord May are not unfamiliar faces. Although the old man spends most of his time on the campus of First University, he also comes to the street for a walk from time to time.
Buy something. As time goes by, we become acquaintances.
"Uncle, you came a little early today," Master Tang from Shuang Tang Ji stuck his head out of the window and greeted with a smile, "Would you like a copy of 'Dragon Knight vs. the Lich King'? The one in the store
New product in January, not yet on the market... I thought about it for two months before I came up with the idea of using sesame candy sticks to build the dragon's body - white sesame seeds were used as abdominal scales, and black sesame seeds were used as back scales. The scales were splashed everywhere, and the effect was quite good.
outstanding!"
Old Man Verne stopped, looked past the round head outside the window, and shouted in a rough voice, "Old Tang? Old Tang! Your son spoiled your candy again!"
When Master Tang heard this, his face turned earth-colored, his head slid in with a shudder, and his figure disappeared behind the window in the blink of an eye.
Not long after, another round head came out of the display window - this head was quite similar to the previous head in terms of eyebrows and eyes, but the new head had a lot more gray in the hair.
Master Tang looked at the old man Verne and said with a smile, "You came out so early... That boy likes to mess around, so let him do it. Anyway, this store will be handed over to him in the end. After all the messing around, it's time for him to do it."
Let him go off and explore the new world by himself... Do you want to bring something today?"
Old Man Verne looked at Old Master Tang for a long time, then sighed slightly, "You are too big-hearted... Is the new world a good place to break into? It would be great to let that brat open his shop safely!... I won't do it today.
I just finished eating the front room of the candy house I bought last time... I have to admit, those weeds in the front garden taste great, what did you make them of?"
"Exclusive formula!" After Master Tang heard the compliment from Verne, he immediately beamed with joy and said with joy, "I can only tell you that I burned three standard talismans when I was planting grass!"
"Hey! No wonder you dare to sell three jade coins!"
"The new store next to me sells them cheaply... Her donuts are very sweet. You must like them." Master Tang tilted his head and nodded at the Miaomiao Dessert Shop next to him with his chin.
The old man Verne said, "Even if you don't like to eat, Lord May must love to eat...right, Lord May!"
As he spoke, he smiled broadly at the old dog at Verne's feet.
The old school worker shook his head, "Well, I don't have time today, I have other things to do... I'll see you another day."
Listening to the conversation between the two old men, the old dog just shook its big fluffy tail and didn't make a sound. It didn't even open its eyes that were covered with wrinkles.
"Master Wuyue is still so calm." Old Master Tang smacked his lips and asked, "What can happen in the early morning? I remember you are the supervisor of the night patrol, right?"
"Transferred." The old school worker said lightly, and then brought the topic back. "It's a student I met before. He opened a new store in the pedestrian street. It seems to sell mice and insects... and he sent me a message.
Invitation. It just so happens that the old man in May wants to eat braised rat heads in the past few days, so I’m going to see if the new store has any."
"New store?" Master Tang was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, it's Lin Guo's new store, right? It seems to be called Ding Dang Dang Dang Bug Catching Shop? Young man, what's the name?
It was very weird. They also sent me an invitation at that time, but the store was too busy and I couldn't leave."
"It just so happens that you are always tired, so help us send this 'kof2008 boutique competition' to them as an opening gift... That kid Lin Guo works very hard and needs to be encouraged."
While he was talking, Master Xiao Tang had already ran out with a small gift box about a foot high and delivered it to the old school worker.
Through the transparent lid of the gift box, Old Man Verne could clearly see a group of bean-sized figures wrestling and fighting with each other inside the box.
Noticing the gaze of the old school worker, Master Xiao Tang immediately explained, "This box has a 'shape-changing talisman' pasted on the outside, and the size has been slightly adjusted. When eating, take off the talisman paper first, and it will not affect the taste at all."
"This is what the brat recently worked up. The store hasn't been officially opened yet... I don't do things lightly or seriously, and I don't have any determination." Master Tang hung half in the window. Although he was saying scolding words, he still couldn't do it.
His tone was full of pride.
It was natural that old man Verne could not fail to understand the meaning behind his words.
He took the gift box, hung it on the wooden stick, nodded to the two Master Tang, and finally said, "Then I won't bother you... It's getting late. I'll go to their store first and talk about the candy house later."
thing."
"Go slowly!" Master Xiao Tang bowed respectfully.
The old school worker waved his hand, then leaned on his wooden stick and continued to stride forward.
After turning the corner and walking a few steps, the old hound May-sama who was following him suddenly whined twice and stopped moving forward, refusing to go any further.
"Is there something going on?" The old school worker immediately looked around alertly, the tip of the wooden stick in his hand faintly flashing a dim green rhyme.
Mr. Wushu shook his tail and whined a few times in his throat.
Although he didn't yell or speak, the old school worker easily understood what the old man meant.
"You mean, you don't want to go there just because the smell there is bad?" The old school janitor raised his eyebrows, glanced at the old hunting dog at his feet, and then looked up at the newly opened shop not far away.
The neatly arranged flower baskets of various colors at the entrance of the store, the bustling crowd, and the fireworks that were about to disperse overhead all clearly explained something to the old school worker - what was even more telling was that the bustling crowd seemed to be affected by
It seemed like there was some kind of attack, and he was running away in panic.
The old man put his hand into his arms, searched hard for a moment, and finally found a red and black card. He looked at the large gilt characters on it and read word for word "Dingding Financial and Pesticide Company...referred to as 'd≈
ap;k'!"
Then the old man raised his head and looked at the shop with squinted eyes.
Yes, although there were still a few colorful silk threads hanging on the store sign, through the interference, the old man could still clearly make out the name on the sign. It was indeed the new store he was looking for.
"Aren't they selling rats and bugs? How come there is a strange smell?" The old school worker said to himself, the wooden stick in his hand lightly paused on the ground. "Since you don't want to go there, then lie down here.
Go ahead and find a place with leeward wind...I'll go see if there are any good mouse heads in their store, and help Master Tang deliver the gift."
The old hunting dog Mr. Wu May whimpered, nodded, and calmly moved back two steps, chose a sunny place with leeward wind, and then lay down peacefully.
