Dream Pet Shop

After the little dream frog was loaned out for one night, Long Wei went to the uncle's house early the next morning to pick it up.

Long Wei knocked on the door, and the door was quickly opened, revealing the uncle's smiling face.

"Young man, you are here! Come in and sit down." The uncle welcomed Long Wei in very happily, and enthusiastically brought tea and snacks to Long Wei.

"Your tree house is really amazing! I really didn't have a nightmare last night, and I haven't slept so well for a long time! I really don't know how to thank you!" The uncle was full of energy, and his words were full of confidence .

"As long as it is useful, you don't have to be too polite." Long Wei picked up the tree house from the coffee table.

The uncle loved this tree house so much that he couldn't help but asked Long Wei, "Where did you buy this thing? It would be good to put one at home to sleep and calm the nerves."

The uncle didn’t know that the tree house was just an ordinary resin model, and the real powerful one was the little dream frog squatting inside. However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Long Wei had no choice but to make nonsense: “I didn’t buy it, someone sent it from overseas. , only saying that it can soothe the nerves, we don’t know anything else.”

"That's it..." The uncle showed regret on his face. He originally wanted to buy one.

"Since your troubles have been resolved, then I won't bother you. You are welcome to come to our shop when you are free." Long Wei stood up holding the tree house.

"Definitely, I will definitely go back to support your store, thank you!" The uncle kept sending Long Wei downstairs.

On the way back, Long Wei opened the lid of the tree house, took a look inside, and found that the spiral pattern appeared on the green back of the little dream frog, but this time the spiral pattern was not only black, but also mixed with a little color .

Long Wei took the little dream frog back to the pet shop, Xia Ji was struggling with the bird's footprints on the desk and chairs at the front desk, and couldn't wipe them off no matter how hard he tried.Seeing that Long Wei was back, he hurriedly took Little Meng Frog and took out the pet growth potion and ability enhancement potion that he had prepared in advance to reward Frog.

While feeding the frogs, Xia Ji asked Long Wei: "The matter should be resolved, right?"

"Well, it's because I didn't have a nightmare last night. As for whether this matter has been completely resolved, it's hard to say yet." Long Wei said.

Xia Ji looked at the spiral patterns on the back of Little Dream Frog, and found that the color was different from last time, so he checked "Plane Pet Encyclopedia".

[The lines on the back of the dream frog represent the dreams it devours. Dreams of different colors indicate different dream content, but there is no official data on the specific content. 】

The explanation in "Encyclopedia" is vague, and Xia Ji can only learn that the nightmares of this uncle are not the same as those of Uncle Xie Yan, and his dreams seem to be more than just nightmares.

What surprised Xia Ji even more was that when Xia Ji checked the task progress in the system, he found that it was still 2/100.This shows that this old man has not been counted by the system. Is it true that the matter has not been completely resolved as Long Wei said.

Xia Ji's guess was quickly verified, because a day later, the old man called Xia Ji.

"Ah, it's you, what's the matter?" Xia Ji was quite surprised when he received the call.

The old man sighed and said, "I asked Xiao Xie for your phone number, don't take it too seriously. I wanted to find time to come over to thank you, but I didn't expect that after you took the tree house back, I would have nightmares again. well."

Xia Ji's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this matter has not been resolved.

Xia Ji asked him: "Is it still the same nightmare as before? But the golden python has been sent back?"

"Yeah, I also find it strange." The old man's back suddenly turned cold, and he said tremblingly: "You said that the snake was stained with something unclean before, and then stayed at my house?"

"..." Xia Ji didn't know how to answer, it's better not to jump to conclusions about this kind of thing.

"My God! If this is the case, I wouldn't dare to live at home! It's too evil! Should I ask a Taoist priest to do something?" The more the old man thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the voice on the other end of the phone trembled.

Xia Ji hurriedly comforted him: "Don't scare yourself, maybe you've been thinking about this recently, that's why..."

"No! Please lend me that tree house again, I can't bear to have such scary nightmares again at my age, or I can buy that tree house with money, or rent it for money, how much Money is fine." The old man begged suddenly.

"This..." Xia Ji refused very tactfully: "I'm sorry, this is really not for sale. If you still have nightmares, I can lend you one more time."

"Okay, okay, that's enough, then I'll pick it up from your store tomorrow, okay?" the old man asked.

"Yes." Xia Ji reported the address of the pet shop to the old man.

It seems that this matter is indeed not simple, Xia Ji told Long Wei about the old man's situation.

After hearing this, Long Wei said: "I think this matter may really be related to that snake, and that Boss Hu is also very strange."

Speaking of which, since seeing Hu Tian at the old man's house that day, Xia Ji hadn't seen him again, and the Pavilion of Rare and Exotic Beasts had been closed for the past two days, and he didn't even do business, which seemed really strange.But Xia Ji and Hu Tian have been in contact for so long, and he feels that apart from his strange taste, he is good in other aspects, and he doesn't look like a bad person.

"Anyway, keep a distance from that Boss Hu." Long Wei suddenly told him.

"Uh...um." Compared to Hu Tian, ​​Xia Ji certainly believed in Long Wei more.

……

After nightfall, Ke Ruyunlai Commercial Street was pitch black, with no moonlight, only the restless chirping of cicadas, and no wind in the hot and humid air.

Long Wei stood on the balcony of the bedroom, looking towards the back door of the Pavilion of Rare and Exotic Beasts.Ever since I saw Hu Tian at the old man's house that day, Long Wei could tell at a glance that he was not an ordinary person, so there must be something strange about the Rare and Exotic Beast Pavilion he opened.

Long Wei never likes to meddle in other people's business, but the Pavilion of Rare and Exotic Beasts is located next to Dream Pet Store, so the hidden danger is too great, so he has to guard against it.

A golden light flashed in Long Wei's eyes, and then he jumped off the balcony on the second floor, and when he landed, he had turned into a dexterous black cat.

In the Rare and Exotic Beast Pavilion, in the room behind the store on the first floor, a dim lantern was lit, illuminating the graceful silhouette of the person sitting on the bed.

Hu Tian had long orange hair loose, the lights were flickering in his eyes, and a giant golden python wrapped around his body, this picture looked particularly charming and seductive.

Hu Tian suddenly frowned and said in disgust: "Don't hide!"

He was holding a cotton swab in his hand, dipped in the ointment, and was about to wipe it off the corner of the golden python's mouth. He didn't know whether it was because the ointment was too irritating or Hu Tian's technique was wrong. Hu Tian clamped his body with his legs.

"The mouth is cracked, and the food doesn't taste good. If I get hungry and thin, I won't be able to sell it anymore." Hu Tian ran out of patience, and his actions became more and more rough.

The golden python couldn't stand the pain, and finally couldn't help but transform into a human form, pushed Hu Tian away, squatted at the foot of the bed, and covered his mouth.

This is a thin and tall young man with a beautiful honey-colored complexion. His skin is as delicate and shiny as the scales of a golden python. He frowned and covered the corners of his mouth for a while before complaining: "It's not cracked, it's the mandible. Dislocated!"

"Eh? Really?" Hu Tian propped his chin, looked at the cotton swab in his hand boredly and said, "Isn't the snake's jaw dislocated?"

The golden python burst into tears: "Can it be the same? I was pinched and dislocated, and it still hurts now!"

As soon as Long Wei was mentioned, Hu Tian's face immediately sank, he frowned and said: "You deserve the pain, whoever told you to be so ungrateful will cause me trouble."

"I..." The golden python covered its cheeks and dared not answer back, so it could only continue squatting at the foot of the bed in aggrieved form.

"What annoyance, do we have to move again?" Hu Tiangang muttered, unexpectedly keenly felt that someone had broken into the Rare and Exotic Beast Pavilion, and he knew who it was without thinking.

His pupils shrank into vertical lines in an instant, revealing a pair of fox-like eyes, and he said to the golden python: "He is coming! Hide quickly!"

As soon as the words fell, a black shadow rushed over, Hu Tian hurriedly pushed away the golden python and jumped off the bed, narrowly dodging the attack.

Hu Tian stood still and saw that there was a black cat with cold eyes on the ground in front of him. He suddenly smiled: "Sure enough, you are not an ordinary person, but we seem to have no grudges or enmities, right? You broke in at night What do you want?"

Long Wei glanced at the golden python sitting on the ground beside him, and said, "I wouldn't care if you were in another place, but if you deliberately opened the store next door, then don't blame me."

Hu Tian suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and gave a sneer. He has been in the shop for so many years, he has seen many people and demons from all walks of life, and he can bear many strange tempers, but he only hates the cold and self-righteous guy the most in his life.As soon as he lifted his robe, he immediately changed into his original form.

A big orange fox raised its furry tail and bared its teeth at Long Wei: "You want to control me? See if you have the skills to control me!"

……

On the second floor of the dream pet store on the other side, Xia Ji was holding the little dream frog in his bedroom, and was studying the spiral patterns on its back. He asked curiously, "Speaking of which, what did the old man dream about in his dream?"

"Crack." Xia Ji had just finished speaking, and Little Meng Frog turned to look at him.

Xia Ji was in a trance for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he was surprised to find that the scene in the bedroom had changed!

When he looked back, he immediately jumped out of the bed in fright, because there was a person lying on the bed!Xia Ji took a closer look and found that it was the old man who had the nightmare. Then he caught a glimpse of the tree house on the bedside table and suddenly realized something.

The author has something to say: Xia Ji hugged the little dream frog and shivered: "Brother Long, help me, I ran into a nightmare..."
