Unfortunately, Sheyan's pockets did not even have a single pound sterling, he was as poor as a dog. Don't even talk about completing the mission, he couldn't even afford the tips from the two guards!
While Sheyan was wandering around Diagon Alley, he suddenly spotted a goblin opposite him. The goblin accidentally spotted Sheyan, his eyes widened as he revealed an incomparably ecstatic expression. He pointed over and shrieked out.
"He's here!"
That expression was completely like a husband seeing someone else's wife whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Following that, the goblin let out a shrill laugh as it pounced forward. It hugged onto Sheyan's thigh and forcefully dragged him towards Gringotts wizard bank. Sheyan recovered from his shock, goosebumps broke out on his back. He hurriedly pushed this goblin away:
"Hey hey hey! I have no interest in any relationship between the same sex, and will definitely not fall in love with any race other than humans. Mister … please have some self-respect, your mother * * *, scram. "
Sheyan tried his best to break free from this goblin, but this guy was like a sticky candy sticking to him shamelessly. While they were entangled, several goblins ran over from afar. These guys happily pounced over. Sheyan shut his eyes in despair, he couldn't help but sigh. In his heart, he wondered if he had been targeted by the Brokeback Mountain Association.
After a while, suddenly a panting goblin ran over from the sidewalk. He was wearing a green tuxedo, a red bow tie, and had a small moustache. He seemed to have some status, upon seeing Sheyan, he happily walked over:
"Hey, my friend, how are you?"
Sheyan smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Not good at all, Mr Infinite. Honestly speaking, I've been troubled by your clansmen."
Infinite laughed heartily:
"Oh! It's like this, I have an urgent matter to look for you, hence I took out a huge sum of money to hire them to search for your whereabouts. These quick-witted lads did not disappoint my expectations. Of course, I deeply apologise for the trouble they caused you. Of course, I must solemnly state that my apologies are limited to words. "
As he spoke, Infinite fished out a shrivelled money pouch. Those goblins surrounding Sheyan immediately crowded over, the group of goblins fiercely debating about the thickness and purity of the money. Finally, everyone took a copper penny and left contentedly. Sheyan was speechless at this farce, he shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Mr Infinite, you're looking for me?"
Infinite beamed with joy as he replied.
"You must have returned home recently."
Sheyan was stunned:
"What?"
Infinite heaved a sigh of relief and replied.
"I can feel that the curse on my body has been removed, it must be you! Well done my friend. Therefore, I want to treat you to a simple meal, really, just a simple meal. Please don't decline, let's go. "
Sheyan originally wanted to ask Infinite, the manager of Gringotts, to convert this meal into cash. But after considering the difficulty of extracting money from the goblins, it was no different from robbing Gringotts. Hence, he wisely gave up on this futile action.
After following Infinite into his little house, Sheyan immediately realized that this was truly a simple meal. Because when everyone was seated, Infinite walked into the kitchen, and strenuously carried out a coarse piece of black bread that was about the size of himself. This enormous piece of black bread was as hard as a rock. Then, the manager of Gringotts took out a table knife, cutting out a palm sized piece from everyone's plate. He then joyfully announced:
"Everyone, let's dig in."
Although Sheyan didn't hold much hope for this meal, he couldn't help but sigh deeply. But at this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Infinite impatiently ran over to open the door, only to see an incomparably skinny old goblin standing by the door. This fella's skin was slightly dark, with deep wrinkles. He had shifty eyes, and his gaze constantly drifted around. This fella immediately grabbed Infinite's hand and laughed sinisterly.
"Hi my friend. I'm your neighbor, David. "
Infinite's eyes were slightly sluggish as he replied:
"Eh, David, you … .what's the matter? We're having our meal. "
David happily replied:
"That's great, yes, it's time for lunch. After last night's meal, my house had some leftover salt, so I wanted to borrow some roasted meat for lunch. "
When Sheyan heard this, he was speechless … … .there was actually such a person? He actually dared to run over to Infinite, the descendant of the goblin royal family and the manager of Gringotts to freeload food? Unexpectedly, Infinite actually swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as though he was struggling in his heart:
"I really don't have any roasted meat here, but I have some bread. Damn it, I really only have a little!"
David had already started to shake off Infinite's hand as he walked in:
"Although black bread isn't one of my favourite foods, but thanks to Mr Infinite's warm invitation, I'll reluctantly eat some."
Hearing the old gnome David's words, Infinite's expression was as though he couldn't wait to slap himself. However, David had already walked to the dining table as though he was familiar with the place, and directly knocked on an empty plate beside him. Helpless, Infinite could only carry that huge piece of rye bread – that was his family's week's worth of rations – out. He treasured and painfully sliced off half a slice for David. David very naturally pushed the plate of half a slice of rye bread towards Infinite, and conveniently placed the huge piece of rye bread in front of him. "Hahaha …" David very naturally pushed the plate of half a slice of rye bread towards Infinite, and placed the huge piece of rye bread in front of him.
"Thank you for your generosity, my friend. Although the taste of this black bread isn't that great, but it is enough to fill your stomach."
Infinite's entire body was trembling violently, a mouthful of phlegm was stuck in his throat, but he couldn't utter a single word. Due to the fact that it had a history of sudden fainting, Sheyan decided to support it out of kindness, to prevent it from falling down and blaming him. As for that goblin David, he had already started to wolf down his food, as though he was a reincarnated hungry ghost. In merely 10 minutes, he had already finished a week's worth of rations for Infinite's family. Patting his stomach, he revealed his bony ribs and contentedly exclaimed:
"How long has it been since I tasted the aroma of food. Oh, the taste of this wheat is really pure."
Although this old goblin was extremely wretched, Sheyan didn't know why, but when he saw him, he felt a sense of familiarity and affinity. He couldn't help but sit beside this old goblin, craftily asking:
"What's so good about bread, how about I bring you to eat steak?"
Who knew that this goblin would immediately shrink back, crossing his arms in front of his chest as he cautiously asked:
"What do you want to do?"
Sheyan's vision darkened, speechlessly replying:
"Fine, I just want to treat you to a meal."
"Meal?" The old goblin suspiciously asked: "You don't even know me, why do you want to treat me to a meal?"
Sheyan covered his forehead with his hand and replied:
"Fine fine, treat it as though I didn't say anything alright?"
The old goblin was even more furious, his spittle flying as he said:
"Since you said it, how can I treat it as though you didn't say anything! Since you don't want to do anything, why do you want to treat me to a meal? Since you want to treat me to a meal, why do you want me to eat black bread? "
Sheyan was stunned, being bombarded by this string of questions like a cannon, he then weakly raised his hands and asked:
"Do you want me to treat you to a meal or not?"
David opened his mouth wide, as though he had heard an inconceivable question:
"As a goblin, how can I give up the opportunity to be treated to a meal?? We'll go right away, right away! "
Sheyan was completely speechless, helplessly replying:
"Let's go."
Not long after the two of them left, Infinite suddenly shook his head blankly:
"What the hell, Lisa, it seems like a neighbor came to visit, but the problem is, do we even have a neighbor???"
His wife was stunned:
"Didn't you already purchase a square kilometer of land nearby? Our last neighbor, old Ailey, had already been chased away by you for an entire 17 years. I can confidently tell you, no one came just now, are you hallucinating? "
"Fine fine, recently the bank business has been rather busy, my pitiful little finger was smashed off while moving the safe. Luckily it didn't bleed much, but what's more sorrowful is that I didn't receive any compensation for my accidental injury. Just based on this point, I'll raise my weekly salary by 4 shillings. Heavens, one of you must have secretly eaten, yesterday's black bread is only left with a few crumbs … …."
*****
Sheyan then brought the old goblin David into Diagon Alley. The old goblin greedily breathed in the fresh air outside, before comfortably stretching out his hands to bask in the sun. Occasionally, he would twist his neck and buttocks, as though a yellow-bearded mouse had slipped out from its hole. Sheyan's heart suddenly surged with an absurd thought, he couldn't help but ask:
"That ….. Mr David, don't tell me your name is suffixed with 4 words?"
The old goblin immediately widened his mouth in surprise and laughed:
"How did you know?"
Sheyan was speechless, looking at his yellow teeth and curled up beard, his ears resounded with a complacent voice:
"Yes, my friend, please call me Mr David Beckham!" If you like this work, I welcome you to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support, is my greatest motivation.)
