Chapter 4736 Dates
"We'll eat it as soon as possible."

Xiao Xiao shook the bag in his hand slightly.

……

The old man's eyes fell on the Taotie in the young man's hand, and a trace of confusion appeared on his face.

"It's really weird..."

"Why does this Taotie look so familiar to me?"

……

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth.

"Have you ever seen a Taotie before?"

……

"Who am I?"

The old man laughed, "Have I ever seen Taotie?"

"I……"

The old man's voice became softer and softer.

A look of doubt and surprise appeared on the old man's face.

"I……"

The old man reached out and knocked his head.

"Hey……"

"I seem……"

……

"Why is it so slow up front?"

Some of the customers in the queue became impatient.

……

Xiao Xiao turned his head.

"Feel sorry."

He gave way.

……

The boy who spoke suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Cough cough~"

"that……"

"it's okay no problem."

He glanced at the bag in Xiao Xiao's hand.

"Yo."

“So many sugar men.”

"That will take some time..."

……

"boss."

The two girls smiled and said, "We want a Taotie too."

"Just like him."

The two girls looked at the sugar man in Xiao Xiao's hand.

……

The old man was slightly stunned.

Then nodded.

"Ok."

"…Just one?"

The old man who had just lowered his head looked up.

……

"Ah."

The two girls nodded.

"We can just eat one."

"We need to save room for the rest."

Unless they particularly like something, they just try it.

This sugar man is mainly for looking good.

They also felt it tasted a bit sweet.

Eating is time-consuming.

They can just share one candy man.

……

"Ok."

The old man smiled understandingly.

"Then it's a glutton."

Girls have small appetites, so if they want to eat as much as possible at the food festival, they will definitely have to make some trade-offs.

How can you eat a lot of everything?

Your stomach must be full, right?
……

The old man tilted his head.

"Young man, are you still there?"

He was a little surprised.

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved slightly.

"I'm a little curious about the story between you and Taotie."

"Can you tell me something?"

"If I'm not interrupting your business here."

……

"My story with Taotie?"

The old man was a little surprised, "What can Taotie and I have-"

The old man's voice stopped suddenly.

He frowned.

Memories that had long since disappeared in the long river of time slowly began to reveal some outlines because of familiar images.

It was like the waves receding, revealing the shells underneath.

……

"Boss, I want to listen too."

The two girls looked curious.

……

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the old man smiled helplessly.

"I……"

The old man shook his head.

"Then just treat it as a story."

"gluttonous..."

The old man smiled.

"How could it really exist?"

"We're all about science now."

The old man chattered for a few words and then prepared the gluttonous meal for the girl.

……

"oops."

The girl took the Taotie and said, "It's ready..."

They haven't heard any of their stories yet.

……

The old man smiled.

"You can stand aside and listen if you want."

“It just takes time.”

After all, he still has to do business.

This story can only be told to these young people in between business hours.

……

"Okay." The two girls looked at each other and walked over to stand beside Xiao Xiao.

You can also see the beautiful little white fox.

The two girls' eyes sparkled.

……

"Hello, what kind of candy do you want?"

The old man asked the next guest.

……

While making sugar figures for the guests, the old man spoke slowly.

"In fact, I don't know whether it is a real memory or my imagination..."

"Anyway, just treat it as a story."

"Do not take it seriously."

The old man smiled and said, "Look how worried I am..."

“No one will take this story seriously.”

……

"let me see……"

The old man spoke very slowly.

It seems like it is trying hard to retrieve those long-lost memories.

"If this guest hadn't asked me to be a glutton today, I would have completely forgotten about it..."

“Actually, I don’t remember much now…”

"like……"

……

At that time, the old man was still a naughty child who climbed up roofs, peeled off tiles, chased dogs and played with cats.

One day, after hunting geese all day, he was finally blinded by a goose.

He was being chased by a huge dog that was almost taller than he was.

……

He almost ran away crying.

The fierce barking of a dog was just behind him.

He seemed to be able to hear the big dog's heavy breathing.

It seemed that the big dog would pounce on him in the next second...

……

He was too scared.

Running madly all the way with head down.

I don’t even know where I ran to?
He saw a half-open door.

His eyes lit up.

Rushed over immediately.

.......
"boom!"

He slammed the door shut.

The whole person pressed against the door.

……

He lowered his head and locked the door in a hurry.

After hearing a click, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But I still can't be completely relieved.

He held the door with all his strength.

……

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The big dog is banging on the door.

A moment a moment...

The fierce force made his heart rise and fall heavily...
……

I don’t know how long it has been...

The noise outside the door disappeared.

……

He didn't dare to get discouraged immediately.

He put his ear to the door.

……

a long time……

He finally straightened up slowly.

The big dog really left.

.......
But he still didn't dare to open the door now.

He turned and leaned against the door.

His body slid down slowly against the door panel.

……

His head dropped.

Gasping loudly.

There was a terrible feeling that almost made his internal organs burst out.

……

Everything was blurry in front of his eyes.

Brain goes blank.

Even his ears were filled with noisy sounds.

It seemed as if the sound of the dog's lungs was still lingering in his ears.

……

He reached out and picked at his ears.

He pounded his chest hard.

He gasped for air.

……

It took a long time...

He felt his breathing become slightly more stable.

His brain started working again, but it was a little stuck.

……

Ok?
His ears twitched slightly.

what sound?
……

He froze.

Now he is very sensitive to any sound.

He was frightened.

……

He was even a little afraid to look up in the direction where the sound came from.

Instead, he shrank his body further like an ostrich.

I want to reduce my presence as much as possible.

……

He gradually recognized the voice...

Seems to be……

What is the sound of eating?

……

He hesitated for a while.

After finding that the other party didn't seem to show any malice towards him and the fear faded away...

He couldn't help but feel curious...

He raised his head carefully.

Slowly raised his eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

……

There were several round bamboo winnowing baskets on a few long benches not far away.

The bamboo winnowing basket is filled with bright red dates.
