Chapter 68 It's Him (2180~2230)
While Fang Senyan was wandering around Diagon Alley, he suddenly saw a goblin appear across the street. The goblin accidentally spotted Fang Senyan, and his eyes widened, revealing a look of ecstatic joy. He immediately pointed and shrieked:
"He's here!"
His expression was as surprised and enthusiastic as a husband seeing another man's wife after a long separation. Then, this goblin immediately screamed with laughter and pounced, hugging Fang Senyan's thigh and trying to drag him towards Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Fang Senyan was stunned but suddenly came to his senses. Goosebumps rose on his back, and he hurriedly pushed the goblin away with all his might:
"Hey, hey, hey! I have no interest in any super-friendship relationships between men, and I will never develop feelings for any race other than human. Sir... please have some self-respect, you motherf***er, get off me."
Fang Senyan was kicking and wiping, trying his best to get rid of this goblin, but this guy stuck to him like chewing gum. While they were entangled, several other goblins ran over from a distance, and these guys also pounced with joy. Fang Senyan closed his eyes in despair and couldn't help but sigh, wondering if he had been targeted by the goblin version of the Brokeback Mountain Association.
After a while, a goblin in a green swallowtail coat, a red bow tie, and a small mustache that curled up, ran up panting from the sidewalk. He seemed to be someone important. When he saw Fang Senyan, he happily walked over:
"Hey, my friend, how are you?"
Fang Senyan smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Not good at all, Mr. Infinite. To be honest, your people are giving me quite a headache."
Infinite laughed:
"Oh! It's like this, I have something urgent to ask you, so I took out a large sum of money to hire them to find your whereabouts. These clever young men did not disappoint me. Of course, I express my deepest apologies for the trouble I caused you... of course, I must solemnly declare that this apology is limited to words." As he spoke, Infinite took out a shriveled money bag, and the goblins surrounding Fang Senyan immediately gathered around. A group of goblins surrounded him and argued fiercely about the thickness and purity of the coins. Finally, each person took a copper penny and left contentedly. Fang Senyan watched the farce speechlessly, then shrugged and said:
"Mr. Infinite, what do you want from me?"
Infinite said with a beaming smile:
"You must have gone home recently."
Fang Senyan was stunned:
"What?"
Infinite sighed contentedly:
"I can feel it. The curse缠绕that was缠绕 on me has been eliminated. It must have been you! Well done, my friend. So, I want to treat you to a simple meal. Really, just a simple meal. Please don't refuse, let's go."
Fang Senyan originally wanted to ask Infinite, the Gringotts manager, to cash out this meal, but considering the difficulty of squeezing money from a goblin could be said to be no less than directly robbing Gringotts, he wisely gave up this futile act.
After following Infinite to his small house, Fang Senyan immediately realized that this was indeed a simple meal, because after everyone was seated, Infinite began to approach the kitchen, struggling to carry out a chunk of rough black bread that was about the same size as himself. This giant black bread was as hard as a rock. Then, this Gringotts manager took out a dining knife and cut a palm-sized piece for each person's plate, and said happily:
"Let's dig in, everyone."
Even though Fang Senyan didn't have much hope for this meal, he couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.
But at this moment, someone knocked on the door. Infinite ran over to open the door irritably, but saw a skinny old goblin standing at the door. This guy's complexion was a bit dark, his wrinkles were deep, and he had a sneaky look. His eyes were constantly shifting around. As soon as this guy arrived, he grabbed Infinite's hand and said with a sly smile:
"Hi, my friend. I'm your neighbor, David."
Infinite said with a somewhat dull expression:
"Uh, David, you... what's the matter? We're eating."
David said happily:
"That's great, is it lunchtime? After dinner last night, my family happened to have some salt left, so I wanted to borrow some roast meat for lunch today."
Fang Senyan was speechless after hearing this... There are such wonderful people? Dare to run to Infinite, the descendant of the goblin royal family and the manager of Gringotts, to freeload? Unexpectedly, Infinite actually swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if he had made a very difficult struggle in his heart:
"I really don't have any roast meat here, but there's still a little bread, damn it, there's really only a little bit!"
David had already flung off Infinite's hand and walked inside:
"Although black bread is not one of my favorite foods, I will reluctantly eat some thanks to Mr. Infinite's enthusiastic invitation."
Hearing the old goblin David say this, Infinite's expression at this time looked like he wanted to slap himself twice immediately, but David had already walked to the dining table in a familiar manner and knocked the empty plate next to him loudly. Helpless, Infinite could only carry the huge black bread again... that was
Their family's food for a week... walked out, cherishing and painfully cutting off half a slice for David... David very naturally pushed the plate containing half a slice of black bread towards Infinite, and顺手 placed the huge black bread that Infinite was carrying in front of him:
"Thank you for your generosity, my friend. Although this black bread doesn't taste very good, it's enough to fill my stomach."
Infinite's whole body was trembling violently, and a mouthful of phlegm was stuck in his throat, making a rattling sound, but he couldn't say a word. Given that he had a history of sudden fainting, Fang Senyan was very kind and wanted to support him to avoid fainting and hurting himself and then赖on him. But the goblin David had already begun to devour it like a ravenous ghost. In just ten minutes, he had eaten all of Infinite's family's food for a week, patted his belly, and revealed his skinny ribs, satisfiedly saying:
"How long has it been since I tasted the aroma of food? Hmm, the taste of this wheat is really pure."
Although this old goblin was extremely wretched, Fang Senyan didn't know why, but when he saw it, he had an extremely kind and投缘 feeling. He couldn't help but sit next to this old goblin and said slyly:
"What's so good about bread? How about I take you to eat steak?"
Who knew that this goblin immediately shrunk back, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and said with extreme vigilance:
"What do you want to do?"
Fang Senyan only felt a darkness in front of him and said very speechlessly:
"Okay, I just wanted to treat you to a meal."
"A meal?" The old goblin asked with suspicion and wariness:
"You don't even know me, why do you want to treat me to a meal?"
Fang Senyan covered his forehead with his hand and said:
"Okay, okay, can you just pretend I didn't say anything?"
The old goblin became even more angry and said, spitting:
"Since you said it, how can you let me pretend you didn't say it! Since you don't want to do anything, why did you want to treat me to a meal? Since you wanted to treat me to a meal, why did you make me eat black bread?"
Fang Senyan was呆滞, overwhelmed by such a barrage of questions, and then raised his hands weakly and said, "Do you want me to treat you to a meal or not?"
David opened his mouth wide, as if he had heard the most incredible question:
"As a goblin, how can I give up the opportunity for others to treat me to a meal?? We'll go right away, right away!"
Fang Senyan was completely speechless and said helplessly:
"Let's go."
Not long after the two left, Infinite suddenly shook his head blankly:
"Damn it, Lisa, it seems like a neighbor came to visit just now, but the problem is, do we have neighbors???"
His wife said in shock:
"Haven't you already bought up the land within a square kilometer? Our last neighbor, Old Ellie, was driven away by you for a full seventeen years. I can tell you for sure that no one came just now. Are you hallucinating?"
"Okay, okay, the banking business has been quite busy recently, and my poor little fingers have been smashed when搬运 the safe. Fortunately, I didn't bleed much, and what's even more tragic is that I didn't even get accidental injury compensation... For this reason, I have to give myself a four-shilling raise in my weekly salary. Heavens, someone must have been偷吃ing, the black bread that was just baked yesterday only has a few crumbs left..." 口 Fang Senyan took the old goblin David to Diagon Alley. The old guy greedily breathed in the outside air, then comfortably stretched out his hand to bask in the sun, and occasionally twisted his neck, just like an old rat with yellow whiskers crawling out of a hole. Fang Senyan suddenly had an absurd idea and couldn't help but say:
"Um... Mr. David, your name wouldn't happen to have four characters in the suffix, would it?"
The old goblin immediately grinned and laughed in surprise:
"How did you know?"
Fang Senyan was very speechless looking at his焦黄 teeth and翘起 whiskers, and he still heard his triumphant voice in his ears:
"Yes, my friend, please call me David Beckham!"
