All in all, after the bitter Yan Yuan solved his stomach problem as quickly as possible (because he couldn't let Miss Ruan wait for a long time), the two of them ran to the southern city of the capital under the leadership of Yan Yuan, and after turning east and west, they turned into a deep alley.

"Now, Yan Yuan, the store you said won't go out of business again, right?" Ruan Yin followed behind him, looking at the increasingly dark alleys around him, and teased with a smile: "Or another fire or something, in short, I can't find a place, right?" ”

Yan Yuan, who was leading the way in front, walked obviously stiff, then turned around, and said to Ruan Yin with a sad face with an extremely stiff smile: "Please don't talk about it......"

"Hahaha!" Ruan Yin laughed slightly, if she wasn't hungry, she wouldn't mind seeing Yan Yuan deflated, "But what kind of shop are you talking about?" ”

"It's a very interesting little shop, with fine craftsmanship, unique craftsmanship and a strong personal touch, so it doesn't produce much." Yan Yuan snapped his fingers, and after talking for a long time, he still didn't say what that small shop was selling, and Ruan Yin stared at him with wide eyes on the side, "Hey, it's almost there...... Depend on?! ”

Yan Yuan's tone suddenly became hesitant, and at the same time, his footsteps suddenly increased, and he walked quickly to the corner of an alley - there were obvious traces of repairing the original gate with a brick wall, as for the storefront...... Of course it doesn't exist.

"it?!" Yan Yuan's voice was simply compassionate, and Ruan Yin on the side didn't care about Yan Yuan's face, laughed heartily, laughed a little breathlessly, and said intermittently: "Poofhahahaha!! Yan Yuan, are you really evil!! Hahahaha!! Have you been lowered by someone? Do you want me to find you a Taoist monk or something to exorcise evil spirits for you? Ahh No, I'm laughing to death! ”

Yan Yuan didn't have the heart to fight back against Ruan Yin at this time, he really began to doubt his life now - you said that it is understandable that the restaurant changed places because of the business downturn, and it is even more understandable that the owner of the food stall changed places to do business, even if the entertainment industry injected by the state was burned to the ground, it is barely understandable, after all, there is no way to do natural and man-made disasters, right...... But can you even close such a small private shop?! Isn't this a century-old shop? Boss, you did it on purpose, right?!

"Huh? Yo, it's you, Yan Yuan boy! ”

Just when Yan Yuan doubted life and Ruan Yin was about to laugh, a rather surprised voice suddenly sounded on the side, Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin looked in the same direction - a rather energetic old man walked over from another turn in the deep alley with an oil lamp in his hand, he looked very old, his head was already full of silver threads, but his body was quite strong, just looking at the body, some people would believe that they were in the prime of life in their thirties and forties! The old man showed a very surprised expression, shook the oil lamp in his hand, and said to Yan Yuan: "I haven't seen you for many years, what a rare guest!" ”

Lin ...... Boss Lin!! Yan Yuan pounced all of a sudden, startling the old man, fortunately, the old man's back was quite good, a small broken step jumped back, easily dodged Yan Yuan's flutter, and Yan Yuan, who was hurt by the old man's half-step back action (and didn't), scratched his head curtly, and then pointed to the door that was built on the other side, and asked a little strangely: "Boss Lin, why did you seal the door of the store?" ”

"Oh, because there was a bit of trouble in the original store, it was very troublesome, and I didn't bother to deal with it, so I simply moved the store address." Old Man Lin, who was called Boss Lin by Yan Yuan, shrugged his shoulders, and then pointed the oil lamp in his hand in the other direction, "I didn't move too far...... Well, the new store is there. ”

"Huh? Glamorous and ghostly...... Oh, haunted. Yan Yuan was stunned, and then followed Old Man Lin with a smile to the new storefront not far away, "Is it so close?" Great, I finally found a store to find today......"

"No, no, no, this store has moved to the storefront, but it doesn't count." Ruan Yin continued to follow behind Yan Yuan, poked Yan Yuan's back with his fingers, and said with a smile: "The number of successes in leading the way today is still zero." ”

"Zero is zero, as long as I can find one, I will be satisfied and die without regrets." Yan Yuan said in a trance, and Ruan Yin looked at his expression, couldn't control himself, and began to giggle.

"Yo, Yan Yuan boy, I haven't seen you for a few years, where did you come back with such a cute little girl?" The old man Lin on the side showed a naughty smile and quipped: "The vision is good, the level is very good?" ”

"No, no, no, the story is completely different from what you imagined Boss Lin, and besides, I don't have that kind of relationship with her......" Yan Yuan rolled his eyes, waved his hand again and again and denied: "I have nothing to do with this pervert at all." ”

"I'll give you back this as it is, women's pervert." Ruan Yin stuck out his tongue at Yan Yuan and said without showing weakness, and then the expression on his face suddenly softened, and said to Old Man Lin: "The little woman's name is Ruan Yin, and she has nothing to do with this Mr. Yan Yuan, I only like cute girls...... All in all, please ask Boss Lin for more advice. ”

"Heha, the little girl is quite interesting!" Old Man Lin laughed, then shook the oil lamp in his hand again, and while leading the two of them to his storefront, he introduced himself to Ruan Yin: "Old Lin Shizhong, he runs a small antique shop. ”

"An antique shop?" Ruan Yin was stunned, she still remembered Yan Yuan's evaluation of this shop as "fine craftsmanship, unique ingenuity, and a strong personal style, and the output is not much"...... But how does this evaluation relate to antique shops? However, she didn't ask such a puzzling question, but moved her gaze down slightly and asked another question that made her a little curious: "Boss Lin, why are you carrying an oil lamp?" ”

The metal oil lamp looks like a delicate workmanship, with a combined structure that fits the parts together perfectly, and the flickering flame that ignites the oil shines brightly and warmly in the glass.

"Oh this? Because it's dark in this alley, even in broad daylight, there isn't much light. Old Man Lin lifted the oil lamp in his hand, smiled mysteriously, and then said a simple and unpretentious answer, "People are old, their eyes are not good, light a lamp to prevent falling." ”

- The answer is definitely not like this!

Ruan Yin looked at the expression of the old man Lin Shizhong, and then looked at Yan Yuan's expression, thinking with great certainty in his heart!

But before she could do any temptation, she had already come to the old man's store. Ruan Yin looked at the door of the store, and there was a door plaque hanging on the ordinary door, with two words written on it: "Lamp".

INTERVIEWER It's about the name of the store, right?

- There's something wrong with that lamp.

Ruan Yin nodded secretly, and then followed Yan Yuan and Lin Shizhong into the store.

- Why is there nothing?

This was Ruan Yin's first reaction when she walked into the store, and what appeared in front of her was not the antique shop she usually saw - the kind of antique shop that neatly arranged all kinds of antiques for people to see and choose. It's like the literal meaning here, there's nothing! When I walked in the door, I was greeted by a counter, but there was nothing on the counter except an abacus, let alone antiques, and there was not even a ledger. And then look around the four walls, it is even more empty, even a blue and white porcelain vase, even a famous calligraphy and painting does not exist, in addition to the counter, you can only see a broken wooden table, three wooden chairs, not so much poor and sour, but more miserable.

INTERVIEWER Was it because you moved to a new store? Are all the antiques in the original storefront?

Ruan Yin felt that this was the only possibility, but Yan Yuan on the side also looked around, and then asked heartlessly, "Boss Lin, do you still have this virtue after changing the store?" You can't get business like that! ”

"Hey, the old man doesn't have this business experience, and he has long passed the age when he wants to do a good job." Lin Shizhong refuted Yan Yuan with a smile, and then gently put the oil lamp in his hand on the counter, and did not extinguish the flame, "Okay, Yan Yuan boy, what do you want this time?" ”

"Weapons." Yan Yuan smiled slightly, and then said softly, "I want a long knife and a short knife." ”
