Nuoqi Street, the most prosperous street in the center of Nuoqi City, is busy with traffic and people coming and going. Neat shops on both sides of the street are displaying a dazzling array of products to pedestrians outside through beautiful glass windows. Come here
The men and women who were shopping kept glancing back and forth in the display windows, looking for what they liked.
A young man wearing a white satin shirt was walking forward slowly. He did not stare at the products like most people on the street, but aimlessly as if he just wanted to stroll around this bustling street.
It only takes a little time. However, the young man's fluffy brown hair makes him look a little unruly, and the deep blue eyes on his beautiful face also have a faint flash of sadness. And the one who is following the young man is
He is a cute fat dog with yellow hair.
The young man was Lin Xi. Without notifying Uncle Nicholas, Lin Xi took Manu to this bustling street alone.
Manu has been on the front line of overeating in the past few years. He has successfully grown from the fat-headed dog he was back then to a round body. His originally short limbs are almost covered by his fat body.
When it moves, it seems like a ball rolling by itself.
"Sister, look here, how cute this dog is!" A girl held her sister's hand and pointed at Manu and said.
"Mom, I like this fat yellow dog. I wonder if they are sold in pet stores?" an innocent little girl said while tugging at the corner of her mother's clothes.
Probably because of his round body and cute look when running, he was very attractive. The passers-by around him fell in love with Manu, and everyone looked at Lin Xi with envy in their eyes.
Manu, who had never been surrounded by so many people and praised him, felt that everyone was paying close attention to him, and he became more and more proud. His short tail kept wagging back and forth, and his four calves moved more frequently.
Seeing Manu's happy expression, Lin Xi felt happy and felt better.
Suddenly, just as Lin Xi was moving forward, Manu grabbed Lin Xi's trouser leg with his mouth.
"Manu?" Lin Xi stopped and looked curiously at Manu who refused to go any further, and asked.
Manu couldn't speak, but when he found Lin Xi looking at him, he quickly turned his head to the left side of the street.
Lin Xi looked in the direction of Manu's head, and immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
The reason Manu stopped was that he found a pet shop. On the glass door of this pet shop, there was a large poster of a white long-haired dog.
"Manu, do you want to go to this store?" Lin Xi bent down and asked while squatting.
Manu stretched out his soft pink tongue and kept stroking the back of Lin Xi's bare hand, as if he was worried that Lin Xi would not take him there and tried his best to please her.
"Okay, let's go." Lin Xi patted Manu's chubby head and walked across the street.
"Woof, woof woof." After entering the pet store, Manu walked around the shelves and started to bark at Lin Xi.
"Manu, I didn't expect that your eyes are really sharp. You even noticed the roasted rabbit placed at such a high place."
I don't know if he understood Lin Xi's words, but Manu actually started to shake his head, looking quite proud.
"Boss, I want four bags of roasted rabbit meat. Please help me wrap it up." Lin Xi casually took the four bags of roasted rabbit meat and walked towards the counter.
"Master, four bags of roasted rabbit meat cost a gold coin in total." A short, fat, middle-aged man handed the packaged rabbit meat to Lin Xi and told the price.
"Here you go." Lin Xi took out a golden gold coin from a small yellow cloth bag that he carried with him and handed it to the fat boss.
When Lin Xi walked out of the store, a strange and strange voice suddenly sounded, causing him to stop in his tracks.
"Hello."
A green budgerigar was standing on the crossbar of the birdcage, constantly saying "hello" to Linxi.
Lin Xi felt happy and moved her mouth. She couldn't help but be very interested in this talking parrot.
Seeing Lin Xi's joyful expression, the fat boss hurriedly walked out from behind the counter and smiled flatteringly at Lin Xi: "This young master is really discerning! This is a very talkative parrot. As long as the owner is willing,
Teach it, and it will learn some sentences quickly. If you buy it, you will definitely get endless fun from it." The fat boss lost no time in selling the budgie to Lin Xi.
"If we take this talking parrot back, it will relieve our boredom."
After thinking about it, Lin Xi nodded and said, "Okay. I want this parrot. How much will it cost?"
After hearing what Lin Xi said, the fat boss couldn't help but smile. A deal was completed after a few polite compliments from him, and the fat boss felt very proud.
"Haha, it seems that I am really born to do business! Oh, I really admire myself more and more." The fat boss was narcissistic in his heart, but he was not idle, and kept saying: "I see the young master very much."
I like this parrot, and I am really happy because I have met a person who loves birds. In order to show my respect to you, I naturally cannot raise the price any higher, so Master, you will pay ten gold coins!"
Lin Xi smiled. Although he was born into a noble family and seldom went out to see different things, Lin Xi still knew that the price offered by the fat boss was a bit high.
After taking out another ten gold coins from the bag, Lin Xi handed the money to the fat boss, "I want this parrot. Here are ten gold coins. By the way, give me a bag of food for the parrot."
It's not that Lin Xi has no money, but it's ten gold coins to buy a parrot. The fat boss obviously made a lot of money. Being able to get a bag of bird food from him can be regarded as saving some money. In this kind of thing that should be saved,
Lin Xi was unambiguous at all.
The fat boss naturally had to pretend to be distressed. "Okay, young master, I can see that you really like this parrot. Let's make a deal."
After saying that, the fat boss took down a bag of bird food for parrots from the cabinet shelf, took off the bird cage outside, and handed it over to Lin Xi's hands.
"Wait a minute!" An arrogant voice came into Lin Xi's ears.
A burly man with short hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, surrounded by several very large teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old, was strutting into the store door.
"Boss Gut, I want the bird in your hand." The boy, about sixteen years old, walked straight towards the fat boss without even looking at Lin Xi.
Hearing these arrogant words, Lin Xi felt harsh and uncomfortable.
The fat boss's face immediately became unnatural, and he said with a smile: "Master Harris, I'm afraid this is not good. This guest has just paid, and the parrot is already his."
Anger flashed across the face of the young man known as Harris, but in the end he suppressed it and did not explode, but there was still dissatisfaction in his voice. "What? Boss Gut won't even give me this face? You
See, haven't you handed over the talking parrot to the man in white yet? If you return the money to him, the worst I can do is pay double the price for the parrot. Well, that's fair.
, to prevent someone from poking my spine from behind."
Gut's expression changed, but he still refused to give up. He still asked with a smiling face: "Master Harris, do you really want this parrot?"
"Nonsense! If I don't want this bird, then why did I rush in after seeing it brought in from all the way? Come on, go tell the man next to you." Harris said with a stern look.
He glared at Gute and said impatiently.
The fat boss looked at Lin Xi helplessly and said sheepishly in a consultative tone: "Young Master, I'm so sorry. You have seen the situation. Otherwise, you should not buy this parrot.
If you choose other things from me, I will give you a discount."
Lin Xi's face became ugly, but he also knew that the matter was not caused by the fat boss in front of him, so he was not prepared to have too much entanglement with him. When the fat boss was not paying attention, Lin Xi snatched the original
He held his own cage with the parrot in his hand.
"Boss, what you said is wrong. Didn't I buy your stuff without paying for it? Since you accepted my money, you should sell me stuff!" Before the fat boss could react, Lin Xi rushed out again.
Harris on the side said: "You think that's what I said?"
Harris suddenly changed his color. No one on this street dared to speak to him so arrogantly. The boy in white clothes in front of him probably didn't recognize him. If he knew his identity, he would be given ten bears.
I am too timid to talk to myself like this.
At that moment, Harris held back his anger, his face trembled, and he shouted to Lin Xi: "Boy! I advise you to hand over the parrot to me obediently! Otherwise, you will know my identity later.
By that time, I’m afraid things won’t be so simple!”
"Are you threatening me?" Lin Xi's brows knitted together, and his eyes narrowed in anger, but he soon changed his face to a smile, "Oh, you should tell me who you are, so I'm all ears.
"
Anyone who is not a fool can see the chill in Lin Xi's smiling face. Harris is not a fool. This arrogant guy couldn't help but look at the slightly frail young man in white standing opposite him with his hands behind his hands.
"Are you stupid or blind? How dare you speak to our young master like this? If you know better, you should give this bird to our young master immediately!" The person following Harris couldn't see his master being "bullied", and he was even more interested in trying to please his master.
It meant that he couldn't wait to jump out, and he was very arrogant.
At this moment, Harris waved his hand to stop the man from continuing. After taking two steps forward, Harris got closer to Lin Xi. "So, what price did you buy this parrot for just now? I will pay three times for it now."
Just drop it, it's okay!" Harris thought he was already very reasonable.
"The parrot is mine, why don't I sell it to you?" Lin Xi regained her cold expression and looked at Harris with a half-smile, without any trace of panic on her face.
"It seems that you are determined to go against me. Since I have said good things up front, I don't need to be so polite to you next. Let me tell you, the boy in white, now that I am here, I have seen
, there is absolutely no reason to come here and see it again in vain! I am here to rob this parrot, so what?"
Harris's smiling face just now was filled with clouds and ferociousness, and he didn't take Lin Xi seriously at all.
