Big Markelov looked perplexed “Why would you release theht as well just eat theood karain “All you do is eat, why are you just like Godzilla?”
Godzilla, who had beenon roast chicken while he stood aside, turned and srease and happiness smeared over his face
After they went around the entirepower This is a tiny town, so why is business going so nicely?”
Big Markelov explained, “The town es surrounding it, and every ers come to thein quite a bit since people prefer to settle their ”
Li Du noticed this was so that occurred in Hpakant as well “No wonder the locals are broke, who can afford blowing all that money on restaurants all the time? They’re too lazy”
Hpakant’s teahouses were full to the brim every day Many of the miners were breadwinners who blehat see Markelov shook his head “This is the way they live here They have little regard for what they wear or where they live, but they do love a good meal If they have a hundred dollars on hand, at least ninety will be spent on good food”
As they were chatting, a few kids ran up to them One of them had a banana in their hand, which they peeled and shook in front of Ah Bai They chanted so Ah Bai’s lips twitched in disdain and he fished out some dried blueberries and bananas from his pocket He shook those in front of the kids before stuffing the noisily, contenthing and teased the kids in Bur He asked, “What are they shouting for?”
Big Markelov sle They probably think you’re fro”
Li Du said, “Knock it off, tell them I’m not a clown Tell them Ah Bai is my pet and they’re not allowed to co Markelov reprimanded the children, they sa fierce he was and immediately fell silent Just then, Ah Bai looked up and suddenly leaped down fro, it climbed up to one of the children’s shoulders and pulled the bananas,the the fruits, it hurriedly leaped onto Ah Ow’s back, then leaped once rab onto Li Du’s backpack strap and swiftly climb up to his shoulder
All of this happened in the blink of an eye as if someone had sped up the action, and this sent the kids into a fit of screa Ah Bai was now perched on Li Du’s shoulder oncein joy Ah Bai did not forget to feed Li Du one, too
“How loyal,” Big Markelov laughed
Li Du laughed, too This was the Ah Bai he knew: a glutton through and through Showing no interest in the child’s banana was really out of character for it
Brother Wolf said, “God, even Ah Bai has learned to play tricks Just nohen it didn’t react to the banana, it was lowering their guard”
The lychees were fresh and sweet, and Ah Bai devoured theain to rush to another kid The poor kid was spooked and burst into tears, though Ah Bai could not care less It continued to run up and emptied the child’s two pockets, but there were only a few small lemons there
Ah Bai did not knoever, how sour lemons were After it climbed down, it tried to peel the fruit but it proved to be too difficult In the end, it du Soon after, it burst into tears just like the kid did The small lemon was just too sour, even more so than usual lemons, because they ild lemons that the child plucked from who-knohere!
Li Du had expected better of Ah Bai “Serves you right, you glutton”
He peeled the lychees he was holding and fed them to Ah Bai, who shoved the In the end, this did little to raise its spirits It chewed for a little while, then spat out the lychees before going back to bawling There were a few teeth marks on the soft flesh of the lychee but it was still intact, perhaps because its teeth were already sore
The spooked kids were still crying, so Li Du took out so Ah Bai became even more upset These were its snacks, after all It scurried over to snatch the snacks even as it kept wailing This frightened the children, who cried even louder than before
