The next day, I woke up with the sun shining and the hour and minute hands of the alarm clock on my bedside table overlapping, pointing in the direction of mid-nine. I couldn't help but sigh secretly that this was the first time in half a year that I had slept so peacefully, and when I walked out www.biquge.info of the bedroom, I saw my mother coming back from outside, still carrying a bag of fruit. Seeing that I had just gotten up, my mother looked at me with surprised eyes: "You don't go to work today?" ”

I perfunctorily said: "There is still a little thing to be done, and I have taken a few more days off with the leader." ”

"After taking so many days off, won't your leaders talk about you?" Mom asked me a little worriedly.

I shook my head: "I took annual leave, and I will return to work as soon as the matter is done." ”

"Don't you really need me to help you? After all, you still have to go to work. Mom still didn't feel very relieved to ask me.

In order to change the topic, I turned my attention to the things my mother was carrying: "Mom, did you buy cantaloupe?" ”

"Well, I'll have someone cut it for us, even the skin, if you want to eat fruit salad, you don't have to bother." Mom knew I didn't want to go on, so she didn't dwell on it. After I washed up, I said hello to my mom after mixing the fruit salad and was ready to go out.

"You don't eat it yourself?" As I pushed the door, I heard my mom ask behind me.

"Give me some leftovers, and I'll come back and eat." I said and walked out the door.

"This kid." The wooden door isolated the mother's complaints.

Thanks to yesterday's TV program, I was able to know the location of Su Baichang's storefront, and in a conspicuous position on this old commercial street, there was a shiny gold-lettered signboard on the door, 'Changxiao Jewelry'. I looked up and stared at the sign in front of me silently for a moment, settled my mind, and pushed the door open.

"Welcome." When I pushed the door in, a clerk came over and greeted me. I looked around the shop and saw that the décor was as quaint as the one filmed on TV, and that Lilang's jewellery was displayed on different counters. Almost all of the jewelry styles are mainly small animals, except for the clerk who entertained me, the other clerks were busy knitting their own handpieces, and I took a closer look, and all the bracelets of Daxian had a beautiful animal-shaped bead on them.

I nodded and began to ask him, "Hello, I saw a necklace in a show yesterday, I wonder if there is still one in the store?" ”

"What does it look like?" The clerk led me to the counter where the necklace was placed.

I browsed one by one, but I couldn't find the one I had in mind. In the end, I had to describe the necklace in my memory in words, for the sake of safety, I still managed the clerk to play a blank piece of paper, while saying and drawing: "The pendant is very special, it is a coiled python, but in the middle is a diamond, as if the python is coiled up to protect the diamond, the diamond should be about 0.5 carats, not that kind of small diamond, so the pendant looks not small." Do you have this pendant necklace here? With that, I showed the stick figure in my hand to the clerk. Unexpectedly, when the clerk finished reading it, his face instantly turned pale.

He looked at the painting, then at me, and finally moved his lips and asked with a trembling voice, "You, where did you see this necklace?" ”

The clerk's voice was a little louder, causing the other clerks to look at it as well. Seeing him pointing at me, a man who looked a little older immediately came over and slapped his hand down, and reprimanded, "How many times have I told you, don't point your finger at the customer." After that, he immediately turned to me and apologized with a smile: "I'm really sorry, he's new here, he doesn't understand the rules, you can take care of it." ”

I shook my head, indicating that I didn't care about such a thing. Seeing that I didn't mean to lose my temper, this middle-aged man who looked like a supervisor breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked me, "Is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

I took the stick figure in my hand to the middle-aged man in front of me, his originally smiling face froze at the moment he saw the painting, but it should have seen some of the world than the previous clerk, he didn't scream like the frightened face of the young clerk just now, he silently put down the stick figure in his hand, and after being silent for a few seconds, he raised his head to look at me and made a 'please' gesture to me; His face was no longer smiling as it had been before. Although he was smiling now, there was no smile in his eyes, and now I knew that this pendant necklace was really causing me big trouble.

He led me to the back of the store, then turned around and told the whispering clerk to do his job, then opened the door to the staff area and invited me in.

The older clerk and I walked through the staff lounge to the store's backyard, which was supposed to be a place to park, but it was very small, and at the end of the one-person-wide hallway was an external staircase leading to the second floor. "The boss's office is on the second floor, which is relatively narrow, so pay attention to the safety of your feet." An older clerk leads the way in front. Seeing my hesitant look, the older clerk suddenly smiled: "Little girl, don't worry, we have no malicious intentions, and there are monitors at the door." ”

I know he said this because he was afraid that I would turn away for fear that they would plot against me. I shook my head: "I told my family in advance that I was going to come here, so if I can't go back, my family will come here to look for me." "I tried to keep my tone as calm as possible.

The clerk didn't say much, and took me up to the second floor, there was only one room on the second floor, and the clerk knocked on them, and a middle-aged man's voice came from inside: "Please come in." ”

I walked in with the clerk, this should be the location of the attic of this house, because the house itself is relatively high, so such a single attic is specially separated. Inside, there is a writing desk facing the door, a set of sofas facing each other, and a few simple bookshelves filled with books and illustrated books on jewelry identification. The person sitting at the desk heard us enter, he looked up, and when he saw me behind the clerk, he looked at me in confusion, he glanced at the person in front of me and asked, "Who is this?" ”

You can tell how nervous he is now from the tense back line of the person in front of him, and he rubs his hands before he speaks: "That, boss, this girl just came over and asked about the White Snake." ”

When he heard the word 'white snake', the person who was called the boss instantly widened his eyes and became nervous, and he confirmed with the clerk in a low voice, "Are you sure she said the 'white snake'?" ”

The clerk nodded cautiously and showed the stick figure I had drawn to the boss, who was also shocked after reading it. He looked at me for a second before asking, "Where did you know about this necklace?" ”

Because of this series of abnormal reactions, I was also stunned. Seeing the suddenly widening eyes of the two people in front of me, I knew that Mi Zhen hadn't lied to me, that this necklace had once belonged here, and that the story about it had been left here. Now, my appearance reminds me of the necklace they call the 'White Snake', and the story of what made them sit on pins and needles. My appearance, no, should it be said that the reappearance of this mysterious necklace, what kind of waves will it cause in this small jewelry store? Aside from the sudden fear in my heart, I was a little expectant of what the shopkeeper would do next, and I looked straight at the man.

At the same time, the clerk and the man behind the desk looked at me at the same time. The man smiled awkwardly, got up and pointed to the sofa behind him and said, "I'm sorry, please come here first." ”

The clerk glanced at the boss, took a set of tea sets from the cupboard, and left quietly after making tea. The person who was called the boss sat down on the sofa opposite me, stretched out his hand and introduced himself first: "My name is Su Baichang, and I am the owner of this jewelry store. ”

I shook Su Baichang's outstretched hand and nodded: "My name is Mo Zhi, Mo of Jingwei Mo Shi, and Zhi of Zhilan Yushu." I know you, I saw a necklace I was looking for in a TV interview with you yesterday. "Because I didn't want to waste my time on polite words, I went straight to the point and explained my intentions.

Su Baichang didn't say too much to greet, and went straight to the point and said, "I heard the store manager say just now, you came here to find the 'White Snake'." Can you tell us why you came to this necklace? ”

Because I had been prepared, I didn't have to worry about Su Baichang's question, so I replied according to the words I had prepared before I came: "I just think it's very individual, so I want to come and buy one." But I didn't expect that as soon as I opened my mouth today, the two clerks in your store changed their faces in an instant, and they brought me here. May I ask why? ”

Su Baichang looked embarrassed, and apologized to me again and again: "I'm really sorry, because something happened in the store, which made these clerks a little overly sensitive when they encountered things related to 'White Snake'." ”

I smiled at Su Baichang: "It's okay, it's just that I was a little surprised when I saw the reaction of the clerk in your store at the beginning." However, I'm a little curious about what makes your store staff smell the color change? ”

Su Baichang, who was on the other side, glanced at me with a strange expression, silently made a cup of tea for himself, and after a short pause, he continued: "I think Miss Mo should know this matter better than me, right?" This time, his tone sounded a little oozing. His eyes were half-closed, and he looked confident.

Although I had thought that Su Baichang would ask me such a question, but I was really surprised to fight each other so quickly, even though I had already thought of the answer, under Su Baichang's questioning, I unconsciously stumbled: "I, what do I want to know?" ”
