Dream Pet Shop

The taxi passed the most prosperous area of ​​Dongcheng District all the way. Under Hu Tian's guidance, it drove into a small alley in a detour, and Hu Tian asked the master to stop the car in front of a market.

"Just stop here, the car will not turn around if you go further in." Hu Tian took out his mobile phone to pay the fare, and got off the car with Xia Ji.

Xia Ji took a look at the surrounding environment, and said that the commercial street is deserted, but it can be regarded as a serious commercial street. Although the market is full of people and lively, most of them are small vendors and people who come to buy vegetables. It's hard for Xia Ji to imagine that someone would come here to buy pets.

Hu Tian took Xia Ji directly through the middle of the market, and the vegetable vendors along the way greeted Hu Tian very warmly.

"Xiao Hu, this cantaloupe is so sweet, come and taste it." A vegetable seller handed over a piece of cantaloupe that had been peeled and de-seeded from the back of the vegetable stall.

Hu Tian was also polite, smiled at the aunt, took a bite, licked his lips and said, "It's so sweet."

The aunt immediately smiled brightly, and seeing Xia Ji beside her, she handed a piece to Xia Ji, but Xia Ji was too embarrassed to accept it. He looked at Hu Tian, ​​and Hu □□ he smiled, signaling him that it was okay to eat.

It was hot, and Xia Ji happened to be a little thirsty, so he thanked the aunt and took the melon.

The aunt was still looking at Hu Tianxiao, her expression was not much different from that of the girl in Huaichun.Xia Ji ate melons silently, thinking that it was a "sin" that Hu Tian was so beautiful.

"Xiaotian, today's lettuce is so crispy, here's a bag for you." This time it was an uncle who delivered.

Hu Tian took a look and saw that the lettuce in the bag was really fresh and tender, so he took it unceremoniously, and said with a smile: "Thank you! Take it back and feed it silently."

……

When the two came out of the market, Xia Ji was stunned. After walking down this short distance, Hu Tian's hand was already full of plastic bags, including vegetables, chickens, ducks, and fish... Hu Tian's beauty is simply amazing. Young and old eat everything, Xia Ji couldn't help sighing, there are indeed people in this world who can eat with their faces!

At the other end of the market is a narrow alley. The facades of the buildings on both sides look old, and the walls are gray with oily smoke. The alley is very narrow, and there are tall buildings. It was broad daylight and there was no sun shining in.After such a comparison, Xia Ji suddenly felt that Ke Ruyun's environment in the commercial street was also quite good.

Hu Tianbian introduced as he walked: "This used to be a flower and bird market. In fact, there are quite a lot of shops selling flowers and birds. It has a history of more than ten years, but later it became popular to keep imported breeds of pets, and this place has declined." Hu Tianmi He squinted and laughed: "But it's better to be in decline than to be in decline. At least the rent here is cheap, which is why I saved so much money."

"That's it." Xia Ji thought that although the environment here doesn't look very good, Hu Tian's business seems to be pretty good.

The two walked along the alley for a while, and soon saw a quaint signboard, on which was written the words "Pavilion of Rare and Exotic Beasts" in a special font, and the black wooden signboard was engraved with The complicated decoration, coupled with the large golden lacquered characters, gives people the feeling of a hundred-year-old store with golden letters, not like the signboards that small shops in the market would use.

"This sign is gorgeous." Xia Ji blurted out.

Hu Tian pushed open the shop door and smiled at him: "Of course, it's made of ebony after all."

Xia Ji followed Hu Tian into the pet shop, only to find out that the "shock" was inside.

If Hu Tian was not by his side, Xia Ji would have thought that he had suddenly crossed into the tropical rainforest!

Looking around, the entire pet store is green, tangled vines hang down from the ceiling, and you have to reach out every two steps to move them away, while the ground is full of various potted plants and miniature landscapes, which makes people feel It is difficult to walk.In addition to the above, as long as there are gaps in other places, all large and small incubators are filled. The yellow lights emitted from these incubators are the light source of the whole store.

Xia Ji stretched out his hand to push aside the vines in front of him, and only when he touched it did he realize that it was a simulated plant. He asked with black lines all over his head, "Boss Hu, the decoration style of your pet shop is so unique."

Hu Tian casually hung the plastic bag in his hand on the rockery in a landscape basin, and laughed embarrassedly after hearing Xia Ji's words: "Hahaha, you are not the first person to say that, as expected, this decoration style Is it too niche? When I was decorating, I made it like this on purpose, thinking it would be very fashionable and attract customers. It seems that modern decoration is still popular now, and your store is decorated very beautifully."

Does it still attract customers?It's fine if you don't scare the guests away.Thinking of this, Xia Ji looked at Hu Tian's clothes again, thinking that this person's taste must be quite unique.

Xia Ji followed Hu Tian into the room for a little bit, and only then did he see clearly what pets were in the incubator. He immediately felt his scalp numb, and the hairs all over his body stood on end, and he didn't want to take another step forward.

Although Xia Ji liked small animals since he was a child, it was limited to fluffy, cute and soft animals. He was still a little incapable of accepting some animals, such as the lizards, snakes, spiders, scorpions and other cold-blooded animals in front of him.

Hu Tian calmly shuttled between the incubators, adjusting the temperature control button from time to time, his eyes were very gentle, as if he was full of love for these pets.

"Boss Hu, do you like these pets?" Xia Ji tried to relieve his tension by chatting, he didn't want to appear too cowardly.

"Yes, but I also like those cute fluffy pets." Hu Tian saw Xia Ji's nervousness, and comforted him with a smile: "It's okay, these pets have similar temperaments to those fluffy pets, and they are bigger and bigger. Most are gentle."

"This, that's it." Xia Ji looked around bravely, but he was not so afraid of a land tortoise, so he chose to stand next to the tortoise's incubator.

"Ah, you don't seem to be afraid of being silent, so can you please feed it for me? I have to feed this golden python now, otherwise it will lose its temper." Hu Tian said embarrassedly.

"Momo? Is it this tortoise?" Xia Ji asked, pointing to the tortoise in the incubator.

"Yes, just feed the lettuce you just brought back from the vegetable market." Hu Tian reached into the incubator while speaking, and took out the golden python inside with his bare hands without any protection Measures, expressions are accustomed to.

Xia Ji just stared dumbfounded at the golden python slowly wrapped around Hu Tian's arm, and then Hu Tian carried it into the room behind the pet shop.Xia Ji stood there in a daze for a few seconds, then looked down to see the tortoise in the incubator looking up at him.

So he quickly brought the bag of lettuce over, opened the lid of the incubator, and threw a fresh leaf of lettuce.

The tortoise glanced at the watery fresh leaves, but did not move, still looking up at Xia Ji.

"Didn't Boss Hu say you're hungry? Why don't you eat?" Xia Ji looked at Lu Gui suspiciously, and accidentally met his gaze. Suddenly, he felt like he was being urged, as if a voice was saying : "What do you eat with one slice? Don't be silly, just throw all the rest in!"

Xia Ji blinked, regained consciousness, and then poured the lettuce in the bag into the incubator.At this time, the tortoise stopped staring at him, but slowly crawled over and began to eat.

"It's really like this." Xia Ji clicked his tongue in amazement, and suddenly felt that cold-blooded animals were not so difficult to get close to.As soon as he thought this in his heart, he turned his head and was almost scared to death again.

Hu Tian came back after feeding the golden python, and was standing next to Xia Ji with the snake in his arms. The body of the golden python was still walking slowly on Hu Tian's body, and its tail even touched Xia Ji's clothes. Immediately, he jumped three feet high, wishing he could hang it from the ceiling.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this snake doesn't hurt people." Hu Tian hurriedly comforted Xia Ji.

If the tortoise Xia Ji could barely accept it, but such a big python... Xia Ji couldn't help feeling chills in his heart.

Hu Tian stretched out his hand to caress the smooth body of the golden python, and diverted Xia Ji's attention with a smile: "Don't keep thinking that it's a snake, don't you think it's beautiful? Look at these scales, they're golden, so pretty!"

Following Hu Tian's words, Xia Ji turned his attention to the body of the golden python. The closely arranged golden scales were shining brightly, which was indeed very beautiful. It reminded him of the tail of the silver shark.

"This golden python is generally more familiar with strangers, but it likes you Boss Xia very much. It's rare. Would you like to pet it?" Hu Tian squinted his eyes and handed the golden python to Xia Ji.

Xia Ji immediately waved his hand and said, "No, no, no... I'll just forget it."

"It's okay, I promise it won't bite people, snakes are cold-blooded animals, it's very comfortable to hug in the cold summer." Hu Tian continued.

Xia Ji swallowed, Hu Tian was always very enthusiastic, and he didn't want to disappoint because of his timidity.Besides, it is difficult to have the opportunity to come into contact with this kind of animal, so he thought he should muster up the courage to try it?

While Xia Ji was still hesitating, the golden python slowly crawled over from Hu Tian's arm, and first tentatively rubbed the back of Xia Ji's hand with its body.The cool touch is fleeting, not as scary as imagined.

And Xia Ji always felt that the snake seemed to know that he was afraid, so it didn't wrap around him all at once, but just rubbed against him lightly.Thinking of this, Xia Ji felt that the snake seemed to be very spiritual and gentle, so he was not so afraid.So under Hu Tian's encouraging eyes, he slowly stretched out his hand.

The body of the golden python slowly moved from Hu Tian's arm to Xia Ji's arm. Xia Ji's eyes widened suddenly. He thought the snake's touch would be a little rough, but he didn't expect the real touch to be so silky, as if there was a snake on it. Good silk brushes like an arm.

Xia Ji was a little nervous, and kept a stiff posture, not daring to move. The golden python slowly climbed up along his arm, and stopped at Xia Ji's line of sight. lips.

Xia Ji felt his lips being brushed lightly, and his scalp went numb.

"Ahem, that's enough." Hu Tian coughed, covered the snake's head with his hand, and pulled the golden python back.

The author has something to say: Xia Xiaoji covered her mouth: "∑(;°Д°)... I seem to have been tricked by a boa constrictor!"

Long Wei is on the way to pick up the knife...
