Last Totem Novel - Chapter 544
Chapter 544 Love
The two of them chatted as they walked into the market.
Raising his eyes, he saw a large amount of messy simple stalls, covered with sunshade cloth, supported by a few wooden poles. Below was an old wooden table, piled with all kinds of fruits and vegetables. The shouting stall owners, haggling vendors, customers carrying vegetable baskets, and workers pushing carts came and went like a colorful ocean.
Elsa pulled Tianchang through the crowd and soon arrived at a familiar stall.
The stall owner was an old man with a pair of gray tentacles on his forehead. He was an insecticide who possessed the ability to “moth” and smell. He had already smelled a familiar scent long before Elsa entered his sight and shouted at the crowd.
“Little Elsa, you’re really late today. All the good stuff is about to be snatched away.” As he spoke, he waved his tentacles, picked out the largest apple from the stall, and tossed it over as soon as he got out of the crowd in Elsa. His eyesight was poor, but his sense of smell was very sensitive. He could tell the quality of vegetables and fruits by the smell, which was the key to his survival.
Elsa squatted down slightly and hugged the apple thrown by the old man with both hands. Then, he jumped up and down in front of the stall. He lowered his head and was about to take the money, but the old man waved his hand to stop him. “Take it. If you don’t like it, throw it away.”
“Uncle Mai, you always give me things. How can you make money?” Elsa pushed back.
“When I lost money a few years ago, if it weren’t for your father’s support, I wouldn’t have known where to bury my old bones.” The old man said.
“This was a long time ago. Why do you keep mentioning it” Elsa said embarrassedly. The apple in his hand was heavy, at least three hundred grams, at least three copper coins. It was Master Mai’s income for half a day.
“If you continue to be polite to Grandpa, don’t come back in the future.” The old man said unhappily with a stiff face.
Finally, at Uncle Mai’s insistence, Elsa did not delay any further. He picked up the apple and wiped it off his apron. He handed it to Tianchang beside him and said, “Eat quickly.”
“You eat, I don’t like apples.” Tianchang didn’t pick it up, and then he took out a silver coin. With a “ding” sound, it bounced into the old man’s metal box. Hagrid gave him five hundred gold coins before he set off, and spent more than a hundred on the boat, and fifty more on meals, accommodations, and drinks, and there was still quite a bit left. The reason why he refused earlier wasn’t because he really didn’t like apples, but because he wasn’t used to unwashed apples.
Wu Mu Cang Lan said that there were quite a few pesticides sprayed on the peel of the fruit. It would take 30 minutes to soak it in water and peel it before it could be eaten.
‘”Mm ~ so sweet ~” Elsa wasn’t so particular about it. Tianchang didn’t eat it, so she bit down with a “ka ba” sound.
“Aiya, our little Elsa has finally grown up …” The old man looked at Tianchang and suddenly smiled. “He’s getting more and more beautiful. He’s starting to have a boyfriend.”
Elsa blushed and hurriedly explained, “Don’t talk nonsense. He’s not my boyfriend.”
“That’s” The old man revealed a puzzled expression.
“He’s in our bar …” Elsa hesitated for a moment and said, “The most respected guest.”
“Hello, sir. My name is Tianchang. I’m from the Far East and the West.” Tianchang introduced himself generously.
“You’re from the Far East …” The old man looked a little surprised. He could smell insecticides from the young man’s body. As far as he knew, although the Far East recognized the identity of an insecticide, it was limited to insecticides of the Far East bloodline. On the one hand, the Far East could not afford too many outsiders; On the other hand, they rejected insecticides from other continents. Unless they were brought along by locals, they would find it difficult to eat and lodge normally, let alone stay for long periods of time.
However, judging from the color of his hair and pupils, he didn’t look like a Far Eastern. Elsa was an innocent girl who had never seen much of the world and was easily deceived.
“Strictly speaking, I was born and raised in the Far East.” Seemingly seeing through the old man’s doubts, Tianchang said honestly.
“Oh” The old man nodded thoughtfully. After a long silence, he suddenly sighed, “Elsa is a good child …”
Tianchang was a smart person, so he naturally understood what the other party meant. He immediately smiled and said, “Master, please rest assured, I am not a bad person.”
However, not only did his assurance not alleviate the old man’s worries, it also increased by a lot.
The old man had been in business all his life and had seen many people. The young man in front of him had a well-proportioned figure, steady footsteps, sharp eyes, and an indifferent temperament. He knew that he was not an ordinary person at a glance. She was handsome, elegant, and polite. Such a person was like the stars in the sky, dazzling and dazzling. The chances of him being a bad person were too low. Even if he took 10,000 steps back, the other party was deceiving Elsa. Who would suffer the loss?
However, it was precisely this kind of person that caused him to feel extremely worried. If the other party was a wealthy young master or a playboy, at most, he would be abandoned from beginning to end. Actually, it’s nothing. The pretty girls in the southern cemetery are most likely the lives of the bar girls. However, if the other party was a true hero, then it would be miserable …
This was because only such a person could break a woman’s heart to her bones, and only such a person could bring about a devastating calamity to them.
Looking at Elsa, who was full of happiness, choosing vegetables and fruits, he felt deeply helpless. Her father had gone silent, her mother had run away with someone, and now she had met her nemesis. He couldn’t help but sigh. He only hoped that her life wouldn’t be too rough …
Moments later, Elsa picked up some vegetables, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, and some grapes and pears. After paying the bill, he took Tianchang to another market to buy some beef and returned to his home near the Big Diamond Bar.
Elsa’s house was very small, but it was a one-family house with a vegetable field in front and some onion, ginger, and garlic. Walking into the house, there were two floors. The first floor was the living room and the kitchen, and a small cellar was dug in the corner. The second floor was the attic, only a third of the first floor, with a wooden ladder and two single beds for the bedroom.
The furniture in the living room was very simple, but it was tidied up neatly and had a different style. A small round table, three small wooden chairs, covered with red and white checked cloth, with a glass bottle in the middle, containing some water, and two small wildflowers.
Beside the large stone fireplace was a two-person cloth sofa with blue stripes and then a small coffee table with a hairy gray blanket on the floor. At this moment, the fireplace was glowing and dimming, emitting a faint warmth.
Tianchang sat on the sofa and roasted the fire. He couldn’t help but feel a little touched in his heart. It seemed that Elsa had made a lot of preparations for inviting him to his house early in the morning.
After a while, Elsa washed the fruit, brought it to the coffee table, and begged him to peel it for her to see.
Tianchang smiled and picked up the sydney and fruit knife, cutting them bit by bit. His movements were very light and steady, like magic. As Sydney rotated, the outer skin peeled off one layer after another. Not long after, a translucent and translucent Sydney, whose surface was as smooth as a peeled egg, gradually took shape in his hand.
Elsa looked at it blankly, feeling that it was amazing,
Then, a cold light flashed in Tianchang’s hand and placed it on the plate. Sydney instantly blossomed like a flower and split into several evenly distributed petals.
‘”Wow ~” Elsa clapped his hands, his eyes filled with admiration.
“You eat quickly ~” she asked, “I want to see you eat ~”
“What’s there to see?” “I don’t know, I just want to see it.” “This” Tianchang rubbed his nose, looking a little embarrassed.
‘”Alright, alright, alright …” “Why don’t I feed you?” “Beauty, can’t I eat?” “No, if I want to feed you, I have to feed you. I have to feed you.” Elsa picked up a piece of Sydney and stuck it to Tianchang’s mouth.
The person concerned was uncomfortable from being rubbed by his full chest, so he could only obey respectfully and eat it with his mouth open.
‘”Well, you’re so obedient ~” Elsa smiled and praised, “I’ll reward you, Little Red Flower ~” In elementary school, as long as she did the right thing, the teacher would stick a little red flower on her chest to encourage her.
Then, she really took out scissors and red paper, cut out a small red flower, stained with flour, and put it on Tianchang’s chest.
“Eh, what is this?” While sticking to the little red flower, she found a badge on the inside of Tianchang’s left breast pocket.
Upon closer inspection, the surface of the badge was potholed, and it was obvious that it had been around for some years. The pattern on it was a wolf head with three swords in its mouth. Although it was badly worn and the lines in many places had faded away, the wolf’s eyes were still bright, as if it possessed life.
“Our clan emblem.” Tianchang replied.
“Wow, you still have a family!” Elsa asked in surprise, then asked curiously, “What is your family?”
“Northas.” Tianchang said, his voice unconsciously carrying a trace of pride.
‘”Norse … Noel … Seth …” Elsa repeated to himself. She felt so familiar, but she forgot where she had heard of it.
Tianchang didn’t say anything and just looked at her quietly.
“Woo” She racked her brains for a while, but she didn’t think of anything.
“It’s just an ordinary family, nothing special.” Said Tianchang.
‘”Then let’s go cook ~” Elsa quickly gave up and suggested.
“Alright.” Tianchang replied with a smile.
“You teach me how to cook, and then I’ll cook for you to eat.” “Yes.” “Don’t make a move, don’t snatch it from me.” “No problem.” “Shall we pull the hook then?” “Hanging the hook for a hundred years … a hundred years ~” “A thousand years is fine.” “Then 10,000 … no, 100,000 years!”
“Will it be too long?” Tianchang smiled warmly and asked.
“No, I want a million years ~” Elsa happily hooked his little finger and muttered, “A million years … a million years …”
“One million is one million. Who’s afraid of who?” Tianchang put away his smile and put on a serious expression as he said in a deep voice.
“1,000,000!” Shouted Elsa excitedly, as if he had been given honey. That sweet smile was like a flower blooming in the wilderness,
