Chapter 1,769 The defensive old man

"Hey, okay."

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

You can't always let customers fall down in the store.

Moreover, a guest called her at this time.



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 he just looked at his feet and said nothing.

Xiao Xiao accurately raised his foot and stepped over the tail on the ground, and walked over.

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

"Old man, can we have a chat?"



The old man chose a corner seat by the window.

It was probably also out of consideration not to trip anyone up.

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 his eyebrows showed a little surprise, vigilance and preparedness.

He was not sure whether the scene just now was a coincidence?

If it's just a coincidence, that's it.

If it wasn't a coincidence...

"What's the matter with you?"

The old man looked around.

No one paid attention to their side.

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



"Xiaoxiao."

A voice came.

Xiao Xiao looked around in search of the sound.

It's Mr. Gu who just came in...and Mr. Cao.

"Grandpa Gu, Grandpa Cao."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said hello.

"Young Master's family is great."

Grandpa Cao laughed and called him his favorite title.

Xiao Xiao was a little helpless about this.

Hasn’t this old man’s enthusiasm for this title subsided?



Noticed someone across Xiao Xiao's desk.

But because his back was turned to them, Gu Lao didn't recognize the other party's identity for a while.

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

"You guys chat."

"I went with your Grandpa Cao."

"OK."

Xiao Xiao smiled and waved to the two old people.



"Young master?"

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

"Um."

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

"Because we can't find the reason, we can't avoid it."

"But now, the reason has been found."

The old man's hand on the table suddenly closed his fingers and tightened them.

...

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

The old man's pupils suddenly became larger.

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, it is not that he has never met someone who can see tigers.

Huzi was the name he gave to the big guy in Xiao Xiao's mouth.

...

"Can you see the tiger?"

Although Xiao Xiao's words just now explained everything.

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

Maybe... it's just because he was too surprised?

After all, although he has also encountered people who can see tigers in their eyes.

But it's been a long time since the last encounter.

He almost forgot what the scene was like at that time.

After a long absence, he met someone who could see tigers again. After the initial shock passed, the old man's face showed some defensiveness.

The already straight body became even straighter.

It seemed like he was trying to stand in front of Zou Wu.



Xiao Xiao was slightly startled.

Does he look so unfriendly?

Or is it because of other reasons?

The smile on Xiao Xiao's face became a little gentler, "Yes."

"Is it called Huzi?"

The old man said nothing.

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

"Since you are bringing it with you, why don't you consider the box?"

"The private rooms are on the second floor."

“More space.”

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

"Although the price will be higher, you should always pay attention to anyone tripping over someone in the lobby. Isn't it impossible to drink tea in peace?"

Originally, drinking tea requires meditating and concentrating.

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

"It's also an inconvenience to other guests."

Those guests who fell were also somewhat unfair.

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

If you can't even see it, how can you pay attention to your steps?



"I won't come back later."

The old man's crisp words made a helpless expression appear on Xiao Xiao's face.

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

But he was a little curious...

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth turned up slightly, "Old man, you seem to be very wary of me."

"Why?"

The old man pursed his lips.

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

The aura around him became a bit stiffer.

"Is it because of Hu Zi?"

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

"I have no ill intentions towards Hu Zi."

"do not worry."



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

Xiao Xiao didn't mean to force anyone to make things difficult for him.

"I'm just a little curious."

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "What I said before did not mean that you should not come to the teahouse."

"The teahouse is open for business, so it will naturally not refuse any guest who comes to drink tea."

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

It can be seen from the frequency that the old man comes to the teahouse every few days 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."

"This way there will be no chance of someone falling down for no apparent reason."

"There are too many things like this. After all, it is bad for the reputation of the teahouse."

The reason for the wrestling is unknown, but they all happened in the teahouse.

Some people will blame the teahouse for the fall.

We cannot say that the guest is shirking responsibility.

Because such an association is understandable.



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

Zuowu swung his tail lazily.



"Coffee~"

Feifei pulled Zouwu's tail back a little, just a short distance away from a departing guest.

"Coffee~"

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

"Well done, Philip."

Xiao Xiao praised.

"Coffee~"

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

The slightly narrowed eyes shone with silver-blue light.

Cool and bright.



"this……"

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

Zuowu gave the old man a look of disdain.

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 old man's "it" referred to Feifei.

He nodded, with a little surprise on his face, "You don't know?"

Aren't monsters obvious to those who can see them?

"What about the one in your arms?"

The old man's words made Xiao Xiao feel a little enlightened.

It turned out that Ah Jiu confused the old man's understanding.
