"Are you sure you want to buy this watch?"

I looked up, and it was the familiar owner again, and the familiar little shop again.

I turned my head again and looked at the woman in black.

When she saw me, she immediately turned her face away. However, this time, instead of getting angry, I seemed very quiet.

I turned my head and looked at the old man, and after a long silence, I finally spoke.

"Boss, can I ask you a question?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately smiled: "Of course, young man, is it about this watch?" ”

I nodded, and then turned to look at the woman in black.

At this moment, the woman in black seemed to be a little anxious, and she was suddenly about to walk towards the door. This time, her actions were unexpected, and I had gone out first a few times before.

The moment she walked behind me, I screamed.

"I'm sorry, young lady, I still have something I want to talk to you about." There was no threat or command in my words, but I was not arrogant.

She stopped, but instead of speaking, she looked at me.

"When I'm done asking, I'll tell you again, excuse me, can I wait a little longer?" I was surprisingly calm, and the look of anger I had had last seen her was completely different.

She was also surprisingly calm and stood aside.

I breathed a sigh of relief and turned my head back to stare into the old man's eyes.

"Boss, let me ask you, who sold you this watch?"

The old man thought for a moment, "It's been years, I can't even remember it, oh, it was given to me by a young man like you." ”

"Young people? What does he look like? ”

"I'm sorry, it's been so many years, and I can't remember." The old man shook his head, "I just remember that he gave me the watch and said to me mysteriously: this watch must not be turned back." Oh, the watch was on consignment, but he never came to pick it up, and I never sold it. ”

I suddenly became more interested, who was the young man who had consigned the watch here? If I can find this person, won't I know the origin of this watch?

"Have you called the watch back?" I continued.

"No, this watch has always been quite accurate, why should I call back?" The old man replied.

"Why don't you give it a try?" I asked.

The old man shook his head: "No, I don't want to try. ”

"Why?"

The old man stopped asking this question, and after a pause, he lowered his voice and said to me, "Young man, have you ever heard a word?" ”

"What?"

"Curiosity kills the cat!" The old man looked up, but his gaze fell behind me.

When I turned around, I saw that the woman in black was already sitting on a chair behind me, looking boredly at the furnishings in the room. When she saw me look at me, she turned her face away again.

"Especially for beautiful women, don't be too curious." The old man suddenly added mysteriously, "This is what my old woman told me. ”

"Oh?" I suddenly wanted to laugh, but I suppressed it, "Your wife is really good to you." ”

"Yes, listen to my wife, yes." The old man smiled and said, "I'm a person who never does something I'm not sure about. ”

"Okay." I nodded, "By the way, what year did you get this watch?" ”

"What year? I can't remember, it seems like it's been years, I really can't remember. ”

I was a little lost, "And what's his name?" I'm talking about the young man who consigned the watch. ”

"I didn't ask, people just sell watches on consignment, I don't dare to ask more."

"Didn't he leave a phone?"

"No, he said he would come back when he was free, but then he never came back, and he didn't know where he went. Maybe they're all dead. ”

"Oh?" I frowned.

The young man who put the watch here on consignment must have known the secret of the watch. But why did he put this priceless treasure on consignment in this store? Moreover, is it still such a low price? Also, why didn't he come later? Is he really dead?

"Do you still have the same watch in the store?" I continued to ask like a police officer.

"Nope." The old man shook his head, "This is the only piece, I have put it all in this corner, oh, I showed this watch to this girl just now, she was going to buy it, but you asked for it first." ”

Yes, today, to be exact, on the afternoon of March 24, 2019, I went to this store, saw this watch on the counter, and somehow wanted to buy it. And the woman in black just looked at the watch from a distance. However, I didn't hear a word from her before I came in, so I didn't know if she wanted to buy the watch?

I turned back to the woman in black and asked, "This young lady, why did you take a fancy to this watch at a glance?" ”

The woman was stunned, paused, and finally spoke.

"It's nothing, I just think it's special."

I was obviously not very satisfied with her answer, so I asked the old man again.

"Boss, where was this watch originally placed?"

"Right there." The old man pointed to it, and it was the corner of the glass counter, and ordinary people would not notice it.

Also, compared to those watches with a price tag of more than 1,000 or even thousands of yuan, a watch of 200 yuan is really not worth putting in a conspicuous position. Perhaps, it's like a human being, if you're just a minion, you're just going to be driven into a corner.

However, this made me more suspicious of the woman.

Why did she pick out the inconspicuous-looking watch in the far corner? Is it just because the watch is cheap? Or does she know the watch's secret?

I stared at her, and she was a little nervous at me and lowered her head.

Instead of asking her again, though, I turned my head.

"Why didn't she buy it?" I kept my voice down, trying not to let the woman hear it.

"I don't know about this, women, they like to pick and choose." The old man smiled, "I don't think this watch is worthy of such a charming lady." ”

I nodded, in recognition of his words. However, my suspicions about the woman in black increased even more.

Yes, why would a beautiful and fashionable young woman like her be interested in this humble watch? Isn't she afraid to go out wearing this 200 yuan watch, which is very cheap?

On second thought, though, it's not entirely impossible. Nowadays, although many girls are dressed up beautifully and fashionably, they don't really have much money in their pockets, unless they are accompanied by a large amount of money. Compared with those thousands of watches, it seems that this watch is more cheap and good, and if you wear it, you may be able to deceive people and say that it is a famous watch?

"What brand is this?" I took a look and realized that I couldn't see any tags on my watch.

"I'll see." The old man picked up the watch, looked at the old man for a long time, and said, "No brand?" ”

"You didn't notice it at the time?"

"I really can't remember, this watch is so ordinary, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

"Yes." I nodded, "Maybe you built it yourself, right?" ”

"The process of this kind of electronic watch is not complicated, and it can be produced by ordinary small factories and even more powerful craftsmen, which is nothing more than assembling the original."

"Can you take this watch apart?" I suddenly asked such a question.

"Huh?" The shopkeeper was stunned.

"I bought it, but I want you to help me disassemble the watch and reassemble it, and I'll give you another hundred yuan, which is the cost of disassembling and assembling it."

"Are you sure?" The old man looked at me suspiciously, perhaps because I was not in my right mind.

I nodded.

"No, you can't!" Suddenly, the woman rushed over and snatched the watch.

At this moment, the owner and I were stunned.

"What do you want to do?" I'm a little confused, I really didn't expect such a change in this plot.

"Boss, I bought this watch!" The woman in black's eyes widened, and at this moment, she seemed to be like a frightened and then brave little doe.

"You put down this watch." I was anxious and my eyes widened, "I've already bought it." ”

"I picked it first, of course I can buy it first!" The woman in black bit her lip tightly, as if she was about to bite the cherry mouth, as if she wanted to fight with me.

How can I give her this watch? Without this watch, how can I go back in time?

"No, I'm going to order this watch!" I rushed over and grabbed her watch-holding arm, and we twisted together.

"Hey, don't you do this, don't you just have a watch?" The shopkeeper was frightened and ran out from behind the counter.

However, I didn't pay any attention to him, but used brute force to break the watch out of the woman's palm. I admit that I am a little rude, not gentlemanly at all, but this watch is my lifeblood, how can I let her take it?

"You, you give it back to me!" The woman's breasts fell together, and her face turned red as she looked at me.

"What is so great about what you saw first? Haven't you bought it yet? I simply played the scoundrel, "I bought this watch." ”

"It's mine!" The woman in black screamed.

I didn't pay any attention to her, but calmly put the watch on my hand and looked at her with contempt with the eyes of a victor.

She was like a defeated rooster, oh, it should be a hen, panting and looking at me helplessly.

"Don't you two argue, isn't that just a watch? Why is it the same as playing with life? The shopkeeper came running and said, "Young man, you can give it to her, but she's a girl." ”

"What's wrong with the girls?" I looked up and looked at the woman with only my nostrils, she was already slumped in her chair, her head turned away, but her chest was still heaving.

When I saw her undulating peaks like ocean waves, it lifted certain hormones in my body. In my mind, that fantasy scene resurfaced.

Damn, Ning Qiang, what do you want? You're too dirty, aren't you? I cursed in my heart.

I turned around and asked the old man, "Boss, can you help me remove this watch?" ”

The old man hesitated and nodded.

"Alright, you take this watch apart and let me have a look." I handed him the watch again.

I'd like to see what's so amazing about this watch?

"Aren't you afraid that after taking it apart, this watch will break?" Suddenly, the woman came out with a word.

Although there was only one sentence, I was stunned and looked at her.

All of a sudden, my mind was calm again, yes, what am I going to do with this watch? Could it be that this is a timer**? In the unlikely event that the watch breaks when I take it apart, or if I can't go back in time, why should I still have it?

The thought that I might never go back to the past made me change my mind immediately.

"Boss, don't tear it down." I hurriedly took the watch back, "I'll buy it now." ”

The old man spread his hands and seemed speechless to me.

I walked over to the counter, paid deftly, and slipped the watch box that was still on the counter into my trouser pocket. Then, I looked back at the woman who was still sitting in the chair. She looked at me too, and her gaze didn't wander anymore, but stared at me, but I wasn't scared either, and I stared at her.

The two of them looked at each other for two or three seconds, but I thought it was so long.

"You, come out with me!" I finally broke the silence, "I still have something to ask you!" ”

She was stunned for a moment, but she got up and walked towards me.

"Let's talk about it later." I walked out first, and then, standing in the doorway, didn't leave.

I didn't look back, but I could feel a woman's unique aroma wafting out, right next to me.

Smelling this aroma, I was a little drunk.

Turning our heads, our eyes met again.

"There's a café in front." We even said in unison.

At this moment, she and I were stunned, especially her, who was looking at me with a confused look. She must be wondering, how did I know there was a café in front of it?

"Alright, let's walk over together." I sighed, "Don't you want to run, if you want to get this watch back." ”

This sentence, apparently, worked, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay. ”

So, I walked straight ahead and didn't look at her at all. I wasn't in the slightest worried that she would run away, because I already had an idea, a brilliant one······
