Chapter 111: The Candy Seller 4
The outside of the candy house is pink and tender, and the inside is the same, mainly pink.
I don't know how many storefronts the owner has rented, and then opened them all. Although the outside of the candy house does not look very large, it is very deep.
I opened the door and walked in, and I was greeted by a giant lollipop behind the main entrance. The lollipop was placed in a glass case, and the head was about the size of Koizumi's head.
Looking at such a huge lollipop, Koizumi is almost pasted here. The whole person stood at the cabinet and stared at the candy inside, and from time to time he could hear the sound of Koizumi swallowing saliva.
It's so big.,Dare to think about this lollipop that's almost the size of his own head.,Koizumi's kid is really.γ
Looking at her as if she was going to get into the glass cabinet, Zuo Xiaonian couldn't help but quip: "You little guy, why, don't you want that lollipop inside." β
"Auntie, how long do you think this lollipop will be enough for the baby?"
She didn't even raise her head, and now Koizumi didn't have the heart to take care of her, all her thoughts and attention were on this candy. I can't wait to enter this glass cabinet by myself, and the appearance is really cute, so that Zuo Xiaonian couldn't help but smile and said: "I don't know how long this lollipop is enough for you to eat, but if you really eat it whole, make sure that all your teeth fall out." β
After listening to Zuo Xiaonian's words, Koizumi immediately reached out to cover his mouth. Looking at her like that, she should have suffered from tooth decay, and the appearance of covering her teeth is strangely pitiful.
But it doesn't matter how hard the tooth is. But he still couldn't stand the temptation of the candy, so the sound of Koizumi swallowing saliva was still there.
Seeing the little guy staring at the candy and swallowing his saliva constantly, Xiao Nian's heart was a little embarrassed, and he had already begun to wonder whether to buy her some more.
But then again, don't look at this little guy's small size, but the sound of swallowing saliva is really loud. If it weren't for such a voice that made people feel eager to listen to it, Zuo Xiaonian really wanted to wonder if this was a deliberate sound made by the little guy in order to coax himself to buy candy for her.
I had just finished watching the giant lollipop there, and soon Koizumi's attention attracted him to other candy of all kinds. The candy house is like a candy museum. Only those who enter here know. There are so many types of candy in the world.
There are many types of candy, which makes people a little gluttonous. It's just that these candies are just for people to look at, because they are all in a glass case, so they can only look at them. But you can't taste it.
I didn't know how to swallow the first few candies. Koizumi also told these candies to hook the worms out. When he saw a colorful candy ball of different colors, Koizumi pointed to the candy ball and said, "Auntie, the baby wants to eat this." β
It's not just that she wants to eat. Even if you are Zuo Xiaonian's age, you still want to taste the candy here after turning around here. It's just that the candy is in a glass case, and they haven't seen anyone else since they came in.
There is not even a candy house with a waiter, and even if you want to buy something, you can't find someone to ask.
Immediately, Zuo Xiaonian felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help shouting, "Is there anyone please?" We want to buy sweets. β
The inquiring voice fell, but no answer was received. It's like there's no one in this candy house, just the candy in the room and the two of them.
There's no one in the candy house? How could it be that they heard the owner's voice when they entered the candy house.
The owner answered the door, and of course there were people here. But where the hell is the owner of this shop? Why don't you see a guest but don't come out?
Feeling strange in his heart, Zuo Xiaonian couldn't help but ask again, "Is there anyone?" We want to buy some candy, where is it? β
Zuo Xiaonian asked this question several times, but he never got an answer from anyone, and now Zuo Xiaonian felt that something was wrong. Leaving Xiaoquan where he was and not running around, Zuo Xiaonian walked towards the inside of the candy house.
The candy house is not big, but it is very deep, and it stretches directly down a corridor like a museum. The hallway was lined with glass cases of various sizes, and the glass cases were invariably filled with candy.
Surrounded by this candy, Zuo Xiaonian walked to the end of the candy house, and the end was like what she thought, it was a cash register, but there was no cashier or the service staff of the candy house in this cash register.
Standing in front of the cashier counter and shouting again, he still didn't get a response from anyone, and now Zuo Xiaonian felt even more wrong in his heart. The cashier was in front of him, and beyond the cashier, Zuo Xiaonian saw a suspected secret door at the top.
This is true of many shops in the student street, especially shoe stores. Because shoes need to be stored in warehouses, and some shoe stores will rent both the storefront and the upper floor of the store in order to be cheap.
The first floor is the store that sells shoes, and the second floor is used as a warehouse for shoes, if there is a store on the first floor that students need, the waiter will climb up to the warehouse on the second floor through a wooden ladder and go up to the second floor to find the right size.
At this time, the secret door at the ceiling in front of Zuo Xiaonian looked like the kind often seen in shoe stores.
Although candy is not a necessity of life, it also needs to be stored for a certain time, and it can be stored for a long time as long as it is stored properly, so this candy house may also store a certain inventory.
That inventory, I'm afraid it's the second floor behind the dark grid.
If there is a second floor in the store, it usually acts as a warehouse, but this candy house can only hear the owner's "welcome" when you enter the store. When I entered the store, I couldn't even see a figure.
Could the owner of this shop be in the warehouse on the second floor at the moment?
Such an idea came out of Zuo Xiaonian's mind after seeing the secret door, regardless of whether his current behavior was a little too much. She walked straight past the cash register, then stood under the secret door and watched carefully.
Without a wooden ladder, people can't go up at all, and Zuo Xiaonian is also standing there watching. Just as she was looking at it seriously, she suddenly heard a strange voice.
The sound was like someone banging on the glass case, and the sound of "popping" was clear.
Because of this voice, Zuo Xiaonian turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and happened to see a child. The child was standing not far away, half-hidden behind a glass case, clutching the glass case with both hands. The body is hidden behind the cabinet, but the head is exposed.
The little exposed head peeked at himself. It may be that he found himself aware of her presence. The child, on the contrary, was shy and shrank back again.
The sound of the lap on the glass cabinet just now was thought to have come from this child, although I didn't understand what she was doing this. But this kid looks like a kid about the same age as Koizumi. So Zuo Xiaonian doesn't particularly care. She is also a guest of this candy house. Immediately not paying attention to the secret door on the ceiling, he walked out from behind the cash register, Zuo Xiaonian asked.
"Are you a little guest here?"
After taking a few steps closer, he asked. Because he was afraid of scaring this child, Zuo Xiaonian did not walk directly to her. However, her inquiry at a few steps still startled the shy child, and it was obvious that she had hidden in a little more. Before, her whole head was exposed, and she looked at herself curiously, but now this little girl has hidden only half of her face.
is so shy that Zuo Xiaonian began to doubt.
Could it be that he looks so scary that he scares this child?
Thinking about it like this, Zuo Xiaonian's heart was a little hurt, and it was also to prove that she was not a person who would make children annoying, she asked while continuing to walk in the direction of the child: "Did you enter this candy house by yourself?" Didn't Mom and Dad follow? β
Zuo Xiaonian kept asking, but the little girl didn't say a word, not only did she not answer, but she seemed to be scared because of Zuo Xiaonian's approach, and finally even the eyes that were peeking out were hidden behind the glass cabinet.
Children are so naΓ―ve, do they really think that adults can't find them when they hide them behind the cabinet? Seeing that the kid was completely hidden, Zuo Xiaonian couldn't help but feel funny, and he also took a few steps closer to take the little guest out. But when she got there, she didn't see anyone
The little girl who was supposed to be hiding behind the glass case disappeared at this time.
That girl was obviously hiding here, why did she disappear as soon as she came over?
Behind the glass case was the wall, a sturdy wall, and if it was a living little girl hiding here, she should have been able to find it. No matter how small a child is, where can he suddenly hide in such a clear place?
Unable to find the little girl, at first it was strange for Zuo Xiaonian, but soon she realized what she had seen. His body suddenly chilled, and after realizing that what he was seeing might not be a living child, Zuo Xiaonian immediately stopped calling for that girl.
Immediately turned around and acted as if he hadn't seen the child just now, Zuo Xiaonian walked briskly towards the place where Xiaoquan was,
What's going on? What's going on, it's morning now, but I can see it.
That child is definitely not a human being, because it is impossible for anyone to appear out of thin air and then disappear inexplicably. So the child who slapped the glass cabinet and called for himself was definitely not an ordinary child.
Although he was walking briskly, Zuo Xiaonian, who was behind his back, could still clearly feel the sight of his back behind him. The little girl reappeared, and after a sudden disappearance she reappeared at the glass case.
Even if Zuo Xiaonian didn't look back, she could clearly feel that the child was hiding there, looking at herself shyly.
If you're not a human girl, don't provoke it, in case something happens.
For me now, anything can be fatal.
Doesn't Zhang Ling's incident fully illustrate this point?
Because she found out that there was a geist in this candy house, Zuo Xiaonian lost interest in the candy house in an instant, and now she wants to find Xiaoquan and leave with her.
Because the pace under his feet was much faster, Zuo Xiaonian quickly found the little guy. Fortunately, this little guy is also obedient, and he let her stay obediently and she didn't run around. After seeing that Xiao Quan was still waiting there, Zuo Xiaonian quickened his pace and walked up.
Coming to Xiaoquan's side, Zuo Xiaonian said with a smile; "Koizumi, there doesn't seem to be a waiter in this candy house, why don't we go first, and come over next time when we are free."
"No waiters?"
Hearing Zuo Xiaonian say this, Xiaoquan felt strange. How could this candy house not have a waiter? Obviously, when I pressed the doorbell in front of the store just now, someone answered.
Because he was able to enter this candy house because he listened to people's answers, after listening to Zuo Xiaonian's words, it was obvious that this smart child felt strange. When even turned his head to look at Zuo Xiaonian, Koizumi said.
"But the baby heard someone talking just now."
"Someone is talking? Where? β
Suddenly hearing Xiaoquan say this, Zuo Xiaonian immediately became alert and hurriedly asked. Of course, the adult answered the child's question, and immediately said seriously.
"It's just the sound of someone talking over there after you walked over, Auntie, just now." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed not far away.
Looking in the direction of Koizumi's finger, although Zuo Xiaonian didn't see anyone, she believed Koizumi's words.
Children are different from adults, and many times they can see or hear things that adults can't see.
And in this candy house, she had just seen a child, a child who was supposed to be non-existent.
Xiaoquan's words, Zuo Xiaonian believed, but she didn't want to answer, she took a deep breath and chose to divert the topic, Zuo Xiaonian looked at Xiaoquan and said: "Maybe the clerks in this candy house are busy, you also saw it, we haven't seen any clerks and aunts since we came in, haven't we?" Maybe they can't come to sell candy now, or we should go back first, and when we are free later, how about letting your aunt accompany you? β
The words of discussion are also said as softly as possible. Don't look at Zuo Xiaonian, who is usually in a hurry, he looks very nervous, but this time to coax the child is also quite reliable.
may think that what Zuo Xiaonian said is also reasonable, although this sensible Xiaoquan pouted, but he still nodded his head in response. Just when Xiaoquan answered and Zuo Xiaonian was about to take her away, a voice suddenly came from the candy house.
The voice was the one I had heard outside, old and a little hoarse.
It's the voice of a shopkeeper. (To be continued......)
