antique store owner

Chapter 2: The Street Child

In Tokyo, in a dark alley that no normal person would walk in, a boy who was recognizable as a Western boy looked at a boy with a typical oriental face.

Of course, they are not good friends, even though they are both poor people, they are all poor children who wander around and have nowhere to go, but they don't have any affection for each other, or any sympathy. They were even more than happy to punch each other in the face of a different race if they could, preferably knocking out a few teeth.

And the sex that caused them to hate each other was lying not far between them, as a bento at the corner of an isosceles triangle.

No one has ever eaten the bento. It is estimated that the owner of the store couldn't sell it and threw it away.

It was such a coincidence that Leo and this young man from the East found him—almost at the same time, so they didn't want to give up this lunch to each other.

The bones of Westerners are larger than those of Easterners. It is normal for a 10-year-old child to be as big as a 14,5-[-] year-old Eastern boy.It's a pity that Leo has been wandering around since he was a child, malnourished, and thin, far inferior to that "half-way monk" boy.

If you fight recklessly, you will be beaten badly.

Leo smiled bitterly in his heart, but Leo still didn't want to back down,

A clean, uneaten bento is such a temptation for a person like him.

What's more, he doesn't live alone like before, and there is a young lady who grew up in a good environment waiting for him to support him. In any case, Lacey "gives" him a lot of money. Naturally, she has an obligation to let this eldest lady live a better life, instead of living on the leftovers dug out of the trash can.

Again, he's not alone right now.

Leo clenched his fists and said to the boy in front of him with an unexpectedly pure Japanese accent: "Are you really not going to give it up to me? Be careful that you will lose your teeth soon."

The boy's eyes widened immediately, and he said with a hint of disbelief and sarcasm: "Are you talking to me? Shorty. It's you who will lose his teeth in a while."

short, dwarf?

Leo gritted his teeth secretly, and said calmly on the surface: "Then the negotiation failed? Albert!"

Before the boy could realize what the hell the western name "Albert" was, his body naturally dodged to the side, and just in time, he dodged a stone that passed him by.

"Oh, I didn't hit..." A child voice who couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl said with annoyance, the boy didn't need to think too much, he knew it was the dwarf's partner.

The young man secretly thought that he was mean and shameless, and then he heard the dwarf say, "It's okay, just let him distract himself."

The young man immediately became vigilant, but the other party took the initiative from the very beginning, and there was a male and female guy next to him who would throw sand and stones at him from time to time, the young man gritted his teeth for a while, and was caught A brick was shot and passed out.

Leo picked up the culprit who caused the fight, looked at the balanced diet of meat and vegetables in it, couldn't help but nodded inwardly, and rubbed Albert's (that is, Lacey's) messy enough hair A handful, making it even more messy, "Good job." Leo said a rare word of praise.

Lacey didn't care that her hair became so messy. After being praised, Lacey smiled, then pointed to the boy lying in the alley and asked, "Leo, what about this man?"

"Don't worry about him." Leo didn't even glance at him, "Let's go.

"Okay." Since Leo said not to worry about it, Lacey didn't care about this person anymore. She walked two steps faster and walked side by side with Leo, and suddenly remembered something and asked: "Rio, did you You said the word 'negotiation'. That's not how the word is used, in fact, you just want to use the words you read in the book, right!"

"...shut up." Leo said indifferently (embarrassed).

Lacey glanced at Leo, showed a fox-like smile and said, "Are you shy, Leo? Did you hit me?"

"..." Could he knock this guy out by the way?And why did you just call out Riorio, and you just called him little brother obediently at the beginning? !

Leo decided to ignore Lacey.

Seeing Leo walking with his head buried, Lacey knew that Leo was probably annoyed. She stuck out her tongue and didn't try to get any more hatred, and obediently followed Leo back to "home".

Leo looked at Lacey who was wearing a strange smile, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Is it lucky or unfortunate to have such a person who understands what he is thinking?

They didn't walk for long before returning to their "home". They said it was home, but it was actually a small shed that could shelter from the wind and rain. I don't know who the previous owner was. Anyway, when they came, it was already empty. , so this became their place of residence.

Seeing that the destination was in front of her, Lacey trotted a few steps past Leo, opened the door with a swipe, and imitated the Japanese habit and shouted at the door: "I'm back!"

The next moment, Lacey's shout turned into a scream, making Leo's head buzz.

“啊啊啊啊啊小哥哥!”莱茜一下就窜到了里奥的身后,抓着里奥的手惊恐地说,“里面,里面有东西!”

' At this time, I obediently called my little brother. Leo rolled his eyes, took two steps forward and leaned in at the door to see what it was.

The dim environment didn't affect Leo's ability to see things, and he quickly found the thing that scared Lacey away.

"It's just a mouse. I thought you were hitting a ghost." Leo said helplessly, picking up a stone from the ground, and smashing it quickly and accurately.

It's a pity that it was not killed. The mouse was shocked and ran away quickly.

Lacey breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's a mouse."

Lacey is actually not very afraid of mice... Well, she is still a little bit afraid, but during her wandering for nearly a year, she has calmed down from her panic when she saw mice at the beginning, and she was very scared just now One reason was that she couldn't see because of the darkness, and she was startled when she suddenly heard something hitting something and making a sound.

Isn't there a saying that says this - the unknown is the scariest thing.

The above are all from Lacey's self-justification.

"Enough, eat." Leo, who was bombarded by Lacey's nagging, stuffed a piece of kelp sushi in the bento into Lacey's mouth, successfully blocking Lacey's words.

Lacey puffed her cheeks and chewed down the sushi that was a bit big for her, then changed the subject and said, "Leo, your eyes are so powerful, you can see anything in such a dark place."

"Natural." Leo said succinctly.

"Natural? Is it like a snake's eyes, which can see things with infrared rays in the dark?"

"Not at all." Leo said weakly, seeing Lacey as if she wanted to say something again, even if Leo interrupted Lacey, "I can't eat."

"Okay." Lacey closed her mouth.

The author has something to say: Don’t hear me blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

The snake's eyesight is close to zero, but it can detect and accurately capture voles, frogs, lizards and other prey tens of meters away in the dark.Scientists have confirmed that this is the result of the snake's ability to "thermally locate" with the help of the cheek socket between the eye and nose.Snakes are naturally infrared-sensing, with a camera-like device lined up on their tongues that allow them to "see" mammals emitting heat.Humans can only detect infrared rays if they wear special goggles. ——From Baidu Know.

Regarding whether Snake Eye can speak Japanese, if I hadn’t watched the movie again, I would have forgotten that Master Gang was taken in by Snake Eye in Tokyo. As for how a Westerner like Snake Eye could be in Japan, I don’t know ...If Snake Eye was abandoned in Japan since he was a child, he must be able to speak Japanese (how can he understand English...? Can the official give the same person a way out!) If he was abandoned halfway to Japan, who abandoned him... Just be a snake-eyed Japanese and British...
