Chapter 20: Innocent Sinners

"Is that a real meteorite?"

The voice of the question was soft and gentle, making Tang Rulan stop filling the freezer with a soda can. On average, twenty people asked her this question a day, and most of the time she would answer "fake" and throw out two packs of cheap cigarettes, only occasionally making an exception if the other person had intrigued her enough.

"Of course, this is what my grandfather got with Maozi in Eastern Europe back then." She turned her face away and stared at the young boy holding the counter. The puppy-like black eyes were round and open, and when she saw her, her smile immediately expanded, and a little tiger tooth appeared at the corner of her mouth - more like a puppy.

Although it looks a little tender, it's a rare opportunity, and it's okay to make do with it. Rulan stroked her hair and was eager to try this summer's new prey: "My grandfather said that this thing fell from the sky, and the wave patterns on it, do you see it, it is the same as the waves, maybe it is washed out by the water in the sky." ”

The puppy's nose pressed a small flat surface into the glass case, and his eyes stared at the stone placed behind him. The oval-shaped treasure had been locked in the cabinet as a sign to attract customers, and a thin layer of ash had fallen over the day, dimming like a piece of inferior green glass under the faint fluorescent lamp, and even so, he was fascinated by it, as if he really saw the sea of the universe from the traces of the radial splash.

Tang Rulan leaned closer and squeezed her plump breasts between her elbows intentionally or unintentionally: "It's very rare, I heard that a piece can be sold for tens of thousands, do you want to take it out and take a look?" ”

Before the boy could speak, a voice came in and interrupted them: "You're running around again. ”

The tone was not heavy, but it was very coercive, the boy's smile dimmed instantly, but Tang Rulan's eyes lit up.

Compared to the later person, the puppy in front of the counter can only be called cute.

"Hey, I'm Rulan, are you here to go into the mountains to see the meteors? Oops, the weather hasn't been very good lately, so it's probably no show. But I can't say for sure, the face of the child in June, the wind is so strong now, maybe tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, it should be clear. Why don't you rent a tent first? I'm giving you a discount. She diligently sold the rental catalog, but her eyes were firmly on the other party's face.

"Wait a minute." The man hurriedly waved his hand, lowered his head and asked, "What do you want to buy?" ”

"Want to eat ice cream......" The dog's voice was deflated, and Rulan caught a glimpse of the young man's cold eyebrows and eyes loosening, as if the tip of the iceberg had suddenly collapsed.

By a third of the time the ice cream had been dug up, the youth had already rented equipment to go into the mountains. But no matter how much she persuaded her, the other party was only willing to pay for one day. "Tomorrow will be useless." He smiled unmoved, and wiped the cream off the corner of the boy's mouth.

Handsome is quite handsome, but it's a pity that it's a bit picky. Rulan pursed her lips and stretched out her hand: "ID card." Sign up. ”

The young man took out a small card from his purse and handed it over, and sure enough, a one-inch headshot did not damage his beauty. "Yu-Mo-Ran-" Tang Rulan read it word by word, and sighed in her heart that the good-looking person was even more beautiful than others, and even forgave him for slamming the door.

"What about you?" I can't help but pick up another one when collecting money.

The puppy bit the wooden spoon and muttered, "I'm his brother." ”

"Huh?" Rulan raised her head a little puzzled, "You are brothers?" ”

Although they are both good-looking, they don't look like they were born by a mother, but rather, these two people are polar opposites.

But it is not at all the same, the eyes projected by the two people, the rhythm of their fingers hitting the countertop, and even the subtle lines on the corners of one side of the mouth are exactly the same.

Tang Rulan took over this small shop at the foot of the mountain at the age of eighteen, and she did it all as a romantic couple business by going into the mountains to watch the stars, and it was the first time she had seen such a delicate brother. It is like a meteorite specimen on a shelf, deep and shallow, light and dark, rough and delicate, and the treacherous waves of the sea and the river colliding.

"By the way, can you borrow a place to wash up?" The young man put away the change and deposit vouchers he had recovered, and showed his charming face again: "I want to clean up a little...... I can pay. ”

"Hey, you don't have to pay for it, but it's just a toilet, there is no hot water, you can flush if you're not afraid of the cold, just over there, go to the head and turn right, the red door." Rulan didn't give up and added: "Or...... You can go to my house and ...... in the evening."

Gu Tianqing prevaricated for a few words, and went back to the car with his things, his younger brother walked a little in front of him, suddenly turned around, waved at her innocently, and then was pinched by the neck and pushed into the door at once.

Before closing the door, Gu Tianqing smiled at her, as if she was saying sorry, and as if she was saying that she would see you in the evening.

The smile was so dazzling that it gave the illusion of looking directly at the sun. She is a little looking forward to the rest of the story, and can't help but fantasize about the role she plays in it.

She was the first to find a body.
