The seven Rainbow Warriors walked side by side, filling up the entire sidewalk. The passersby hurriedly avoided them, for fear of provoking them.
Zhang Zian looked at their backs and felt sad.
"What happened?" Fina jumped out, looked at his face, and then looked at the seven Rainbow Warriors who were leaving.
Fina had learned how to use the toilet bowl in the bathroom. It had just come down from the bathroom.
Zhang Zian was glad that Fina didn't see that, or it would have had to fight with them. Even if Fina was strong and agile, it was still not a good fight against seven of them … Plus, their clothes were bulging, and he suspected that they had hidden weapons.
"It's nothing. They're just asking for directions." He told a small lie.
Fina stared at him suspiciously.
He couldn't tell the truth, or Fina would definitely chase after them. Compared to the loss of money, he didn't want to see Fina get hurt.
"Really." He laughed, "They are a bunch of people with no sense of direction. Can't they see that they look like idiots? "
This sentence was very convincing.
Fina agreed, "I also think that they look like those southern cannibals with bird feathers on their heads and paint on their faces."
Zhang Zian really laughed this time. This metaphor was so vivid.
Southern … It probably referred to the middle of Africa, which was the south of ancient Egypt.
"Let's go inside. It's getting cold outside."
Fina went back to the house, jumped onto its exclusive cat tree, and began to sleep.
Xinghai had been playing with the kittens, ignoring what was happening outside.
Wait, did she really ignore it? Zhang Zian thought for a while. Maybe Xinghai already knew the result? Forget it, the quantum theory was not something that ordinary people could understand, so it was useless to think about it.
He went back into the house and went back to the recliner.
Old Time Tea leisurely sipped the hot tea and said, "You don't look so good. Is there something on your mind?"
Zhang Zian smiled bitterly. There was a lot on his mind! His heart was about to explode. It didn't matter if he lost ten thousand yuan. He could just treat it as if he had lost it. What he was afraid of was that those people would get greedy and try to extort him again in two days under the pretext of borrowing money — this was almost certain! If those people had a conscience, they wouldn't do such immoral things.
"Grandpa Tea, those people just now …"
He swallowed his words in the middle of his sentence. What was the use of complaining to Old Time Tea? What kind of help did he want from the kind Old Time Tea?
This was his shop. This was his home.
Since something had happened, he should think of a way to solve it.
"It's nothing. I don't look well because I had constipation this morning." He smiled and brushed it off.
Zhang Zian didn't notice that under Old Time Tea's calm appearance, there was a hidden emotion. Especially in its eyes, there was a deep sadness and disappointment. It was like waking up in the morning to find that all your dreams were gone …
However, sadness and disappointment were not all of it. In the depths of Old Time Tea's pupils, a storm was brewing. A pile of ashes that seemed to have been burned out burst into a raging fire that could start a prairie fire again! It was the Flame of Condemnation that could burn away all evil in the world!
"I'll go out and buy something to eat." Zhang Zian wanted to go out and relax. At least those people would not come again today.
After Zhang Zian left the shop, Fina, who was taking a nap, opened its eyes. It jumped and landed in front of Old Time Tea.
Old Time Tea quietly tasted its tea.
"I want to ask you, what happened just now?" Fina's face was as cold as frost.
"Your Majesty, it's just a small matter," Old Time Tea said calmly.
"Humph!" Fina stretched out its claws and said aggressively, "I've tolerated you for a long time."
"If that's the case, how about a few more days?" Old Time Tea laughed. "I promise that I will give you a satisfactory explanation."
Fina squinted its eyes. Its eyes were uncertain.
Old Time Tea gave Fina an unfathomable feeling. This feeling was not as unfathomable as Xinghai's feeling, but that this old guy seemed to be hiding his strength. Fina didn't understand this Eastern way of thinking. If you have the strength, then show it. If you don't, then go away. What's the point of hiding your strength?
In theory, Fina could order all the cats in the world. It could even order a cat to commit suicide on the spot. But the strange thing was that it couldn't order this old cat. It could vaguely feel that there was some kind of stubborn resistance in this old cat's body. It was as small as a grain of sand, but as unshakable as a mountain. It should be some kind of faith. Faith that must be preserved even if it was going to die.
Fina still didn't understand this Eastern way of thinking. What was more important than living and staying with the person you loved?
However, in Old Time Tea's opinion, there were some things in this world that were higher than imperial power and life and death.
Riches and honor could not be corrupted, poverty could not be shaken, and power could not be subdued!
Old Time Tea hoped that the seven people would come again. The sooner the better. This time, they better not stay outside the shop. Instead, they should go into the shop. It would definitely do its duty as a host and treat them well.
Yes, the duty of a host. Because it no longer thought that this was Zhang Zian's shop, but everyone's shop, including Old Time Tea. Whoever wanted to smash its teacup, Old Time Tea wouldn't be able to drink tea for the rest of their lives! The outside world might not be as warm as it looked, but at least the shop was warm. It felt very comfortable, just like the electric blanket under its body.
Old Time Tea's paws were shaking — not because of fear, but because of excitement. It couldn't suppress the surging fighting spirit in its heart. The blood that had been cold for many years was boiling!
Fina couldn't decide what to do. Should it interrogate Old Time Tea? It hated the feeling of being kept in the dark.
At this moment —
"Trust Old Time Tea." Xinghai was having fun playing hide-and-seek. It turned around and said.
After saying that, Xinghai was almost caught by the kittens. It was so scared that it didn't dare to be distracted anymore.
Fina was very surprised.
It didn't know how much strength Old Time Tea had hidden, but it knew Xinghai's strength very well.
Fina's eyes alternated between Xinghai and Old Time Tea. In the end, it snorted coldly and jumped back to its exclusive cat climbing frame.
Old Time Tea slightly bowed to Fina to show its gratitude.
It didn't complain about Fina's arrogance, because Fina's goal was exactly the same as its, which was to not let anyone disturb the peace of the shop. It was old enough that it could see through Fina's thoughts at a glance.
In addition, Old Time Tea knew very well that those simple-minded idiots were just instigated by someone. The real culprit was still hiding behind the scenes — this routine had never changed for thousands of years. It remembered the man with the smell of a gutter rat.
As long as Old Time Tea could leave the shop freely …
Don't worry, it had patience.
Rats!
