Speaking of which, climbing walls with tentacles is indeed not as convenient as using fingers.
Calico Cat rushed to the top of the city wall in a few seconds, while Liu Zheng was still staring at it below.
Fortunately, he had an idea and used Boning Knife and Serrated Cleaver as ladders, and then he climbed up.
He did meet other people along the way, but they didn't seem to be in good spirits.
So Liu Zheng kept walking to a deserted place, and didn't stop until he saw Anke's pub with a sign.
"If you really can't wait, I can also show you the way."
Anke's expression changed for a long time, and finally he made up his mind and said.
"That would be great."
he said in surprise.
Having such a local as a guide is naturally much better than running around on his own.
"But you have to do me a favor first."
Anke said.
"Boss, please tell me."
Liu Zheng is not surprising.
"Accompany me to send my family to the church of Church of Pain."
Anke said.
"No problem."
He readily agreed.
"Marianne, take the children down."
Anke looked at Liu Zheng's expression, then looked at Calico Cat who was snoring in his hand, and finally made up his mind and shouted to the second floor.
Marianne hesitated for a while, but finally decided to trust her husband's vision.
When his wife and two daughters went downstairs, Anke kept observing Liu Zheng's eyes.
And he saw only peace.
Only when he saw his little daughter's wool-like curly hair did the foreigner reveal a smile.
"This is my wife Marianne, this is my eldest daughter Nia, and this is my youngest daughter Nina."
Anke breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly introduced.
"Good evening, dear madam, and two beautiful ladies."
Liu Zheng stood up and bent down to salute.
"Good evening, dear sir."
Marianne and his two daughters also saluted politely.
"Marianne, go get this gentleman something to eat. Liu Zheng, what does your cat friend want to eat?"
Anke asked.
"Just be like me."
Liu Zheng said.
"Okay. Nia, go help your mother."
Anke ordered.
"It's really troublesome."
He said politely.
"It's nothing. At times like this, we must maintain the etiquette of hospitality. This is the difference between us and wild beasts."
Anke said in a deep voice.
"Very insightful. So boss, while you wait, let us complete the purchase of 'Pepper Uncle' first."
Liu Zheng said.
"So anxious? Why don't we finish our meal first?"
Anke persuaded.
"It's better to finish it first. I don't have the appetite even if the work is not finished."
"But the wine cellar is underground. If you and I both go down there, I'm afraid that wild animals will break in."
Anke had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Oh, don't worry about this, Salmon will take care of the house."
Liu Zheng said.
"You mean this cat?"
Anke looked at Calico Cat who had rolled himself into a ball, and said with difficulty.
Does he think the foreigner opposite has gone crazy?
That's right. If they weren't crazy, who would climb over the city wall and come in to purchase at this time?
"That's right. Salmon, give the boss the whole job."
Liu Zheng yelled.
"Meow (give me the dried fish)~"
Calico Cat called out.
"Here you go."
He took out a small dried fish from his pocket and handed it to Calico Cat's mouth.
Calico Cat took the small dried fish in one mouthful and then raised his paw.
"Dang!"
There was a muffled sound.
Anke didn't see any movement, and the corner of the table was neatly cut into several pieces and fell to the floor.
"Hiss~"
Anke took a deep breath.
He originally thought that this stranger calling a cat a companion was just a personal hobby, but he didn't expect that it was really based on his strength.
If it weren't for the normal appearance of this cat, he would have suspected that it was actually a special Pale Beast.
"Are you relieved now? Boss."
Liu Zheng asked.
"Let go, don't worry."
Anke said reluctantly.
"Then let's go to the wine cellar now."
"Okay, okay. This way."
Anke just took a few steps and suddenly turned back.
Sure enough, his little daughter Nina could not wait to walk towards Calico Cat.
"Nina! Don't disturb this Mr. Cat."
he said sternly.
If you scratch it, it's not a matter of spraying some medicine on it.
"Actually, it's Lady Cat. But your father is right, Salmon doesn't like strangers touching it. I'll introduce you to it when I come back."
Liu Zheng said gently.
"Okay."
Nina stopped in his tracks with his mouth flat, then squatted on the ground and watched Calico Cat licking his paws.
"I'm sorry. I usually dote on them too much and I've lost my discipline."
Anke said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, I think this is good. Being able to see such a cute little girl in a place like this seems to have raised the upper limit of my rationality."
He shook his head.
Although he didn't understand the nouns used by Liu Zheng, Anke still felt his kindness and felt a lot more at ease.
Sure enough, not all outsiders are mean, there are also friendly and kind people like them Anke.
After Pale Night is over, we can persuade Mr. Liu Zheng to also move to Yate. Their family can have more friends, and Liu Zheng can also enjoy a stable life.
Anke couldn't even imagine what kind of place could assign such two powerful employees to purchase goods, and also set up such severe punishments.
While Anke was thinking, he took Liu Zheng to the underground wine cellar.
"These are all 'Pepper Uncle'."
He pointed to the wine barrel placed next to the wall on the right.
"How much does it cost for ten barrels?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"As long as you can send my family safely to the church of Church of Pain, these wines will be given to you for free."
Anke reluctantly said.
"That's not necessary. It's all Restaurant's money anyway. Is this enough?"
He took out a finger-sized Jinzi from his pocket.
This was given by White-Feather Chicken to Calico Cat, and Calico Cat gave it to him.
After all, before you know the situation here, it is quite shocking for a cat to pay the bill.
"It's a lot more, there's no need for so much."
Anke said quickly.
"It's okay. The rest will be converted into local currency. When the time comes to purchase, you, the boss, will help you settle the bill and help you negotiate the price."
Liu Zheng blinked, and then threw Jinzi to him.
"It's easy to talk about."
Anke hurriedly took Jinzi, then smiled flatteringly.
At the same time, he felt deeply strange in his heart.
It seemed as if he was not in the terrifying Pale Night, but was seriously discussing business with a big client from afar on an ordinary night.
"Then please go out first."
Liu Zheng said.
"Ah? Don't you need my help carrying the wine?"
Anke said unexpectedly.
"No, I have special handling skills. This is a trade secret, so you'd better not peek at it."
He shook his head.
"Okay, okay, I won't peek."
Anke quickly walked backwards out of the wine cellar, then closed the door and leaned against the door.
Curiosity made him scratch his heart, but he still did not turn around.
If he were still young, he would definitely not be able to help but peek, no matter what the price.
But now Anke can't, because now he is not only a husband, but also a father.
"Bang!"
A huge crash interrupted his thoughts.
Anke's eyes widened in fear, because the impact did not come from the wine cellar, but from the ground.
