Dream Pet Shop

Xia Ji felt that this magnetic voice was very familiar. He looked up the corridor and saw Hu Tian with orange hair standing there.

"Boss Hu?" Xia Ji subconsciously called out.

When Hu Tian heard the voice, he looked down and found that it was Xia Ji. He was also very surprised: "Boss Xia, why are you here?"

Xia Ji and Long Wei walked up quickly, and he explained: "I was entrusted by a friend to deliver something."

As soon as Xia Ji finished speaking, the uncle standing at the door immediately excitedly said: "Is it Xiaoxia? Lao Xie told me that your tree house is very useful, you are really my savior!" After finishing speaking, the uncle yelled fiercely at Hu Tian : "You! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Hu Tian didn't speak, turned sideways, squinted his eyes and stared at the tree house in Xia Ji's hand. Just as he was about to ask Xia Ji what the tree house was, he saw Long Wei standing behind Xia Ji.

The moment the four eyes met, Hu Tian's expression changed, his face that kept a casual smile all the time suddenly sank, his eyes showed a look of vigilance, but only for a moment, and soon he narrowed his eyes as usual, It's hard to figure out what you're thinking.

There was a strange moment of silence in the originally noisy corridor, and finally Hu Tian spoke first: "Since you insist on returning the product, I have no choice but to take the pet back."

The old man didn't expect Hu Tian to change his words suddenly, he was stunned for a second or two before he realized, let the door open and said, "Oh, oh, hurry up and take it away."

Hu Tian, ​​Xia Ji and Long Wei followed into the door and came to the old man's house.

The old man’s house is a very ordinary two-bedroom and one-living room. The house is not too big. There are piles of clutter everywhere in the house and no one tidies up. It looks like he is living alone. Everything is very ordinary, except for the sofa in the living room. A 1.5-meter-long incubator is particularly conspicuous.

The old man greeted Xia Ji and Long Wei to sit down, picked up the things on the sofa and coffee table, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I haven't been able to sleep well at night recently, people are in a trance, so I don't have the mind to clean up the house, let you I'm laughing at you." After speaking, he turned and went to the kitchen to make tea for Xia Ji and Long Wei.

Hu Tian knew that he was not the one to be entertained by the old man, so he went straight to the incubator to check the pets inside.

Taking advantage of the time when the old man entered the kitchen, Xia Ji quickly got up and went over, and asked Hu Tian in a low voice: "Boss Hu, are you okay? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Hu Tian smiled and said: "Hey, it's okay. This old man has to blame his pets for his nightmares. It doesn't make sense at all. If you want to retreat, just retreat." Hu Tian had already opened the incubator cover.

Xia Ji looked into the incubator, and found a snake entangled in it. The snake was thick | strong and golden in color. It was the golden python he had seen before!

The golden python was listlessly huddled in a heap in the incubator, but it vomited snake letters, as if it had keenly detected Xia Ji's smell, and immediately poked its head out of the incubator excitedly.

This snake is really enthusiastic whenever it sees Xia Ji, but Xia Ji is still so frightened that his scalp is numb, and he backs away unconsciously.

At this time, a slender and powerful hand suddenly stretched out from the side, and grabbed the snake's head seven inches away.The golden python was squeezed so that it opened its mouth, and the snake's body kept twisting in the incubator, trying to shrink back.

Long Wei let go of his hand suddenly, and said indifferently: "Snakes are dangerous pets after all, and should be locked up in a cage."

Hu Tian's face was a bit ugly, he put his hand into the incubator, comforted the golden python, waited for the golden python to slowly cling to his arm, then took out a burlap bag from his arms, and put the golden python into the bag Here, I am ready to take it away like this.

After Hu Tian put the snake into the bag, he said to Long Wei with the same cold face: "The golden python is non-toxic, and has a gentle personality and is very close to people. People in the world will be afraid just because they don't understand it."

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, pressed it a few times, raised his head and said to Xia Ji: "Boss Xia, tell this old man for me that I have refunded the money to his Alipay, and I will take care of pets." It was taken."

"Oh, good." Xia Ji nodded blankly, he always felt that Hu Tian seemed to be angry.

Hu Tian didn't say anything more, and immediately took the snake away.

The old man came out from the kitchen with two cups of tea and found that the lid of the incubator was open and the golden python inside was gone, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa.

Xia Ji took the tea and told the old man, "Boss Hu said that he has refunded the money for buying pets to your Alipay."

But the old man leaned on the sofa and waved his hands: "It's finally gone, money doesn't matter."

Xia Ji always felt that this matter was very strange.Because Xie Yan's uncle rarely comes into contact with snakes, it makes sense to go back and have nightmares after seeing them suddenly.But since this old man dared to raise a snake, it meant that he was not afraid, so why did he have nightmares?

So Xia Ji asked while chatting: "Is this the first time you have a pet like a snake? Are you still not used to it?"

The old man sat up straight immediately. He knew what Xia Ji was thinking, and immediately said, "Do you think I have nightmares because I'm afraid of snakes? Not at all!"

The old man took a sip of tea and began to explain: "Although I didn't raise cold-blooded animals before, I wasn't afraid of them. Once I saw some pictures of snakes and lizards in a college for the elderly and thought they were beautiful, so I wanted to raise them. I raise them I also did a lot of homework before, and asked some people who understand, and this golden python was introduced to me by an acquaintance."

Xia Ji asked suspiciously: "Since you are not afraid, why do you have nightmares? Did the snake do something to scare you?"

The old man sighed and said: "Speaking of evil, this snake is actually very well-behaved. It usually nests quietly in the incubator. Its body is beautiful in color, and it twinkles under the light. I actually liked it very much at first. Yes, but since one night, I have been having nightmares. In the dream, this golden python turned into a giant python, trying to eat me very ferociously. Obviously, it has never acted aggressively in real life, but every night I But it will repeat such a dream, do you think it’s scary or not? Do I dare to keep this snake by my side?”

"..." Xia Ji felt quite speechless after hearing this, and felt that this was not the fault of the golden python, but this matter was indeed strange.

"Although the snake is gone, just in case, Xiao Xia, please lend me that tree house for one night." The old man begged.

Xia Ji said: "That's no problem. I'll leave the tree house model with you tonight. Just put it on the bedside when you sleep. Don't worry about the rest. I'll come and pick it up tomorrow."

"Thank you very much, I don't have anything to give you, why don't you stay and have a meal before leaving?" The old man warmly invited them.

"You are too polite, we have to go back to the store to help."

Xia Ji left Meng Frog at the old man's house, and after a few polite words, he and Long Wei went back to the pet shop.

On the way, Xia Ji asked Long Wei: "Brother Long, what do you think about this?"

Long Wei didn't answer, but instead asked him, "Do you know this Boss Hu?"

It was only then that Xia Ji remembered that Long Wei hadn't met Hu Tian face to face, and immediately said: "He is the owner of the Rare and Exotic Beast Pavilion next door to us, and he also adopted a cow cat."

"So it was him." Long Wei said to himself.

"I think Boss Hu was wronged in this matter." Xia Ji sighed.

When the two returned to Ke Ruyunlai Commercial Street, Xia Ji found that the Pavilion of Rare and Exotic Beasts had closed early. He didn't think much about it, thinking that Hu Tian might be in a bad mood when he encountered such a thing.

Xia Ji entered the pet shop, and saw Xie Jiajun sitting by the window and talking with the Dormouse, his blood pressure suddenly rose.

Father Xia couldn't hold back his violent temper any longer, walked straight over, patted Dormouse on the shoulder, and said with a pleasant smile, "Shushu, go get busy first."

"Oh, good." The Dormouse nodded obediently, and immediately turned and went into the kitchen.

Xia Ji immediately changed his face, put his hands on the table, stared at Xie Jiajun and said, "Brother Jiajun, have you come here too often recently? Shall I call Xie Yan and ask your family to reduce your allowance money."

Xie Jiajun poked the straw in the cup, pretended to be innocent and said, "Brother Xia, wouldn't it be good for me to contribute to your turnover?"

Xia Ji patted the table and said, "You brat! Don't think I don't know what you're here for. You haven't graduated from high school yet, so you should focus on your studies."

"Hey." Xie Jiajun sneered at Xia Ji's preaching: "Brother Xia, you are too nervous, I didn't do anything, I just want to make ordinary friends with your employees."

"Ordinary friend? Then you ask him if he has a girlfriend?" Xia Ji sneered.

Xie Jiajun frowned. He didn't expect the Dormouse to tell the boss everything, so he couldn't help but blush a little, so he lied, "I asked the girls in our school. It's getting late, I should go home for dinner." Xie Jiajun planned to slip away.

Xia Ji warned viciously behind him: "School starts soon, don't run here from now on."

After Xie Jiajun left, Xia Ji specifically asked Ah Feng to be careful, and if Xie Jiajun came again in the future, don't let him come into contact with the Dormouse alone.Although Ah Feng didn't know why, she obediently agreed.

Xia Ji was about to go upstairs to take a shower, when he suddenly heard the system prompt: [Ding——, it was detected that the pet egg is about to hatch. 】

He hurried upstairs and entered the study.There are three eggs in the incubator in the study. These three eggs have been hatched for a long time, two of them are still the same, and the other is shining brightly, shining brightly under the warm lamp.

"Was this egg so shiny before?" Xia Ji walked over and looked at the egg carefully, and found that the ordinary eggshell suddenly became transparent and hardened, and the surface of the eggshell seemed to be studded with diamonds. Xia Ji Can't help sighing: "This egg looks so valuable!"

The author has something to say: So what kind of pet will be hatched from this seemingly valuable egg?
