Chapter 1: Father and Daughter

Next Chapter

"Ding, ding, ding."

The sudden sound of wind chimes, in the current late-night environment, is not pleasant, but a little crazy.

The wind chimes are hung on the faΓ§ade of a street, and the street lamps on the street are unstable, flickering on and off, bright and short and long in dark. The sign on the door is obscured by the darkness of the night, and it looks like a shop.

A man with a round hat and a long trench coat took a half step back, and the wind chimes rang again, over his shoulder.

The man raised his head, and under the round hat was a muddled middle-aged face, and his unfocused gaze fell on the wind chimes.

"When did you get a store here?"

His gaze, which he had intended to pass by, slowly focused, unlike those bewitching sluts with all the bells and whistles, this wind chime looked simple and weird.

The wind chimes are strung with copper coins, the length is different, the staggered and orderly, the impact sound is slightly deep, and the quality is old, like ancient coins.

The man became interested, and reached out to take a closer look.

"Sorry, this is not for sale."

Suddenly a voice came from inside the door, and the man paused.

A young boy with clear eyebrows opens the door with a professional smile on his face that I am a clerk. It's just that the smile is a little rusty, as if he hasn't practiced yet.

The man shrank his hand in embarrassment and said casually, "You're still open at such a late hour." ”

"We're open 24 hours a day, would you like to come in and have a look?"

The man hesitated, he actually didn't have anything to buy, and was about to refuse, but the boy greeted warmly: "It's all here, a little turn around won't delay you much, please come in." ”

The man didn't react for a moment, and walked into the store in a daze.

The boy was excited, and as you could tell from the action, he happily poured a glass of lemonade on the rocks and handed it to the middle-aged man.

"What did you lose, sir?"

"Iβ€”I didn't lose anything."

Hearing the boy's question, the man who was looking at the store took the iced lemonade in disbelief.

This shop is a small duplex, the first floor is not large, you can see it at a glance.

A wooden square table is placed in front of the door, and there are a few wooden chairs scattered next to it, the original wood color is not painted, which looks very environmentally friendly. There is a huge ecological fish tank on the left side of the door, and the landscaping is very beautiful, but there are not a few fish in sight.

Behind the square table stands a solid wood screen, which is not carved or hollowed, it is a simple folding model, which is also a log color.

The air is filled with a rich aroma that makes people dizzy, and the air conditioner with enough air conditioning on can't dilute the aroma.

"What the hell are you selling?"

The man looked around blankly, and the second monk was confused.

There are no counters, no display shelves, and you can't even find anything that can be called a commodity, so it can't be a set of tables, chairs and a fish tank, right?

The boy patted his head, a little annoyed: "Look at me, I forgot to introduce you, let's sit down and talk." ”

The man followed the boy to the table, where a copper incense burner caught his attention. It is a three-dimensional relief hanging incense burner, and the rich white smoke is curling out of the hollow lid, and the fragrance is rich.

"This is not for sale." The boy explained empathetically.

"Oh, it's an antique." The man reluctantly withdrew his gaze, since that incident, it was difficult for him to care so much, with his experience of immersing himself in antiques for more than ten years, this incense burner was definitely worth a lot.

Since entering the store, the man has become curious about this store for the first time.

"We don't sell things here, we just help people find things." The boy's bangs were long and broken, falling to obscure his vision. He pursed his lips and blew his bangs open, only then did he show a satisfied expression, "So, what exactly did you lose?" ”

The man frowned and put down the cup in his hand: "I said I didn't lose anything." ”

"How come, why did you come to our store if you didn't lose anything?" The boy frowned.

"I live nearby, and I can't sleep at night."

Without waiting for the boy to speak again, the man stood up to leave: "Excuse me, thank you for your hospitality." ”

"Wait."

Men are starting to be unhappy, and if they don't consume, they won't let people go?

"I said I didn't lose ......"

The words stopped abruptly, and the head froze when he turned back.

It wasn't the boy who spoke, but another person, a man who walked slowly down the stairs.

The reason why we say man and not man or woman is because it is not easy to distinguish the gender of this person.

The narrow eyes are raised at the ends, and the pupils are pitch black, and they are a little black and strange. The long black hair was tied in a bun, with an emerald green bamboo pipe inserted in the middle, and a few strands of broken hair fell in front of his forehead.

It was this person who made him wait, his slightly open lips were bright red like blood, in sharp contrast to the snow-white skin, and he didn't know if he was born or wore lipstick.

If it's a woman, it's a stunning, and if it's a man, it's a demon.

The middle-aged man lost his mind for a moment before relieving himself.

If it weren't for the fact that this man was wearing a one-piece loungewear by SpongeBob SquarePants, he would have lost his mind for a long time.

"Boss." The boy scratched his hair in embarrassment, and finally a guest barely kept him.

The demon boss ignored him, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and stared at the middle-aged man condescendingly: "You want to find something." ”

The man subconsciously shook his head: "I don't want to look for something." ”

"No, you want to."

"I ......"

"You're looking for something." The demon boss's voice was very affirmative.

"Okay."

The man surrendered, "I confess, I want to find my daughter, but she is not a thing, and you can't find her, she ......"

Before he could speak, the demon boss snapped his fingers at the boy: "See, learn." I took this business. ”

The second half of the sentence is for middle-aged men.

The boy's eyes widened, it turned out that he could buy and sell like this?

At the same time, there was also the middle-aged man.

The street lamp outside the store is like a patient with choice hesitation, swinging between light and dark for a long time, and finally chooses light. The night is brightened by street lamps, which shine on the signboard in front of the store.

"Return to the Origin"

……

The man sat down again, with the big boy on his left and the demon boss on his right.

He rubbed his hands together and took a deep breath, as if he were doing mental construction.

What happened tonight was a little weird, but he held it back for too long. Although he didn't think that the other party would be able to find his daughter, it would be good to just find someone to talk to.

"My name is Li Kun, Muzi Li, Kun from Kunlun Mountain, 48 years old this year. My daughter's name is Li Shanshan, 8 years old......"

Li Kun is a successful entrepreneur with no background and started from scratch. He devoted himself to his career until he was 38 years old, and he got married at the age of 40 and had a daughter.

When he is old, Li Kun is afraid of falling when he holds Li Shanshan in his hand, and he is afraid of melting in his mouth, and he loves him very much. Shanshan is also competitive, she has not been pampered out of princess disease, her personality is docile and cute, and she is very likable.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, Shanshan's mother was diagnosed with a heart attack and died when she was 2 years old.

Li Kun's career was too busy, and in order to take better care of Shanshan, he married another wife two years later. Shanshan was still young when her biological mother died, and she didn't remember anything, so she had no resistance to her new mother. In addition, Li Kun's new wife loves Shanshan very much, and the two are no different from their mother and daughter.

Speaking of this, Li Kun's eyes were slightly red: "It was all fine, but it wasn't until March this year that Shanshan suddenly fainted after taking physical education class, and she went to the hospital for an examination to find out that she also had a heart attack." We tried everything we could, and even prepared to do a heart transplant for her, but unfortunately Shanshan couldn't hold on, two months ago...... She's gone. ”
