Chapter 1757 The defensive old man
"Hey, good."

Although she was very curious about what Xiaoxiao had discovered, Xiao's mother also knew that solving the problem was the priority now.

We can't always let customers fall in our store.

Moreover, at this time, a customer called her.

……

Xiao Xiao walked towards the old man.

He noticed that the old man seemed to want to say something to him, but in the end just looked at his feet and said nothing.

Xiao Xiao accurately stepped over the tail on the ground and walked over.

Looking up, he met the old man's surprised eyes and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Old man, can we talk?"

……

The old man chose a corner seat by the window.

Probably this is also out of consideration for not tripping others.

Xiao Xiao sat down opposite the old man.

"Hello, old man."

"My name is Xiao Xiao."

"Ah, hello."

The old man replied subconsciously, and then a hint of surprise, vigilance and precaution appeared between his eyebrows.

He was not sure whether what happened just now was a coincidence?

It would be fine if it was just a coincidence.

If it wasn't a coincidence...

"What's the matter with you?"

The old man looked around.

No one paid any attention to them.

The ancient music flowing in the store also provided some cover for the conversation.

……

"Xiaoxiao."

A voice came.

Xiao Xiao looked in the direction of the voice.

It was Mr. Gu who just came in... and Mr. Cao.

"Grandpa Gu, Grandpa Cao."

Xiao Xiao greeted with a smile.

"Hello, Young Master."

Grandpa Cao smiled and called out his favorite name.

Xiao Xiao felt helpless about this.

This old man’s enthusiasm for this title hasn’t died down yet?
……

Noticed that there was someone sitting opposite Xiao Xiao's desk.

But because he was facing away from them, Mr. Gu did not recognize the other person's identity for a moment.

He smiled and waved his hand, "We just saw you coming over to say hello."

"You guys chat."

"I went there with your Grandpa Cao."

"Ok."

Xiao Xiao smiled and waved to the two old people.

……

"Young Master?"

The silent old man spoke up, "Are you the son of the owner of this teahouse?"

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded, "During this period of time, there are always customers falling in the store, which makes us very confused and distressed."

“Because we can’t find the cause, we can’t avoid it.”

"But now, the reason has been found."

The old man's hands on the table suddenly closed and tightened.

Xiao Xiao glanced at the monster lying at the old man's feet, smiling, "What a beautiful and handsome big guy."

The old man's pupils suddenly dilated.

But soon, the old man regained his composure.

He has been to many places and walked many roads.

I also met a lot of people.

Among them, he had met people who could see Hu Zi.

Hu Zi is the name he gave to the big guy Xiao Xiao mentioned.

"Can you see Tiger?"

Although Xiao Xiao’s words just now explained everything.

But the old man couldn't help but confirm it again.

Maybe he was just too surprised?

After all, he had met people who could see Hu Zi before.

But it had been a long time since our last encounter.

He almost forgot what the situation was like.

After a long time, he met someone who could see Hu Zi again. After the initial shock passed, the old man's face showed some wariness.

His already straight body became even straighter.

It seems like he is standing in front of Zou Wu.

……

Xiao Xiao was slightly stunned.

Does he look so unfriendly?

Or is it for some other reason?

Xiao Xiao's smile became gentler, "Yes." "Is its name Hu Zi?"

The old man said nothing.

Xiao Xiao smiled and didn't care about the old man's defensive attitude.

"Since you have it with you, won't you consider the box?"

"The second floor is the private room."

“There’s more space.”

"It also makes it easier for Huzi to move."

"Although the price will be higher, you have to be careful in the lobby to see if anyone is tripped by the tiger. Wouldn't that mean that they can't drink their tea in peace?"

Drinking tea requires a calm and focused mind.

The old man is so "busy" that he probably can't even taste the flavor of the tea, right?

“It’s also an inconvenience for other guests.”

Those guests who fell down were also somewhat wronged.

This fall was not because they were careless, but because they really had no choice.

If you can’t even see, how can you pay attention to your steps?
……

“I won’t come later.”

The old man's straightforward words made Xiao Xiao look helpless.

Having said that, it seems that there is nothing more to say next...

But he was curious...

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth curled up slightly, "Old man, you seem to be on guard against me."

"why?"

The old man pursed his lips.

The straightforward question from the young man in front of him made him feel a little embarrassed.

The aura around him became a little more harsh.

"Is it because of Hu Zi?"

Noticing the subtle fluctuations in the old man's breath, Xiao Xiao knew that he had guessed right.

"I have no ill will towards Hu Zi."

"do not worry."

……

"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

Xiao Xiao had no intention of forcing anyone.

"I'm just curious."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "What I said before didn't mean that you shouldn't come to the teahouse."

"A teahouse is open for business, so naturally we won't refuse any guest who comes to drink tea."

"I'm glad you like the tea here."

Judging from the frequency of the old man coming to the teahouse every few days, it can be seen that the old man is quite satisfied with the tea in Xiao's Teahouse.

"I just hope you can choose a private room next time you come."

"That way, there won't be any incidents where someone falls down for no apparent reason."

"There are many such incidents. After all, it is not good for the reputation of the teahouse."

The cause of the wrestling is unknown, but they all happened in the teahouse.

Some people will blame the teahouse for the fall.

It cannot be said that the guests are shirking their responsibilities.

Because there is nothing wrong with such association.

……

The old man lowered his eyes and looked at Hu Zi at his feet.

Zouwu swung his tail lazily.

……

"Coffee~"

Feifei pulled Zouwu's tail back a little, just within reach of a departing guest.

"Coffee~"

Feifei quickly returned to Xiao Xiao's shoulder and resumed his original posture.

"Well done, Philip."

Xiao Xiao praised.

"Coffee~"

Feifei tilted her head and rubbed Xiao Xiao's cheek.

The slightly narrowed eyes emitted a silver-blue light.

Cool and brilliant.

……

"This……"

The old man opened his mouth but only uttered one syllable.

Zou Wu gave the old man a look of contempt.

The old man's guess was confirmed.

He took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "Is it a monster?"

……

Xiao Xiao knew that the "it" the old man was referring to was Feifei.

He nodded, a little surprised, "You don't know?"

Aren't monsters very obvious to people who can see monsters?

"What about the one in your arms?"

The old man's words made Xiao Xiao suddenly realize something.

It turned out that Ajiu had confused the old man's understanding.
