Another day.
Another seemingly calm day.
Early in the morning, Zhang Zian, as usual, simply cleaned up the shop, and opened the business at the usual time.
Usually there were no customers this early, so he poured some mineral water into Fina's dish, and gave Old Time Tea a pot of brewed tea. Then he planned to buy himself some breakfast across the street.
He put on his coat, went to the door, unlocked the lock and pushed the door open. When he walked out, he saw a few young people sitting on the sidewalk; they seemed to be waiting for someone.
These young people didn’t give off a good impression. He counted that there were about seven people, wearing uniformed motorcycle leather jackets.
Hearing the sound of Zhang Zian opening the door, they all looked back at the same time.
Zhang Zian wanted to laugh a little as each person's hair was dyed a different color: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.
What was this? Making a movie? Looking at the seven heads with different hair colors, they were probably the ”Rainbow Warriors”, like in the children’s film...?
But he could not laugh, as these seven people's eyes were very fierce, and in order to emphasize their ferociousness, they also wore heavy eye shadow and several nose rings, lip piercings and earrings.
Under their feet, empty beer cans were scattered around and each was holding a new can in his hand, drinking.
Zhang Zian wanted to say that the sanitation workers just finished cleaning the street, and that they should respect their work.
But he could not say anything.
These people stood up and invariably threw away half of the beer cans, flattened them, and flooded the street full of beer foam.
Zhang Zian's eyes passed over them, looking for the breakfast vendor across the street. For some unknown reason, the couple that ran the breakfast booth every day unpredictably had not shown up.
Other shops did not open so early.
Those seven people put their hands into their pockets, walked towards Zhang Zian and circled around him.
There was a man wearing a suit and glasses and carrying a briefcase who was looking down at his phone whilst walking towards them and Zhang Zian.
The purple haired one sitting on the edge immediately snapped loudly, ”Four-eyed dog! I am talking to you! You got four eyes and you didn’t look at the road? Do you want me to give you a few more eyes?”
The man was so scared that he dropped his phone, and looking at this situation, he knew it was bad, so he bent over to pick up the phone and stumbled to run away back to the original road. While running, he looked back to see if there was anyone chasing him.
The other pedestrians tried to stay at a far distance, and detoured.
It seemed that even the vehicles passing by tried to accelerate.
Zhang Zian's stare was very intense and he could feel the color fading from his face.
These people were obviously not coming to buy pets.
What should he do? Close the glass door and return to the store?
It was too late. Even if it had been closed, if they really wanted to smash the windows, they could easily break through. If he escaped for one day, he couldn’t hide forever... Should this shop be closed down?
He decided to ask them clearly at least.
”Gentlemen, this is a pet shop,” he said. ”We do not sell anything else.”
”I know, I know,” said the blond in the middle. ”We are looking for a pet shop.”
”Oh, really? Want to buy a pet?” Zhang Zian quietly asked.
