Chapter 3 Buying Candles Again
Closing at sunset is the rule for getting up and down the grocery store.
Su Ran glanced outside, other shops were still robbing this golden hour, but he had already closed the door with a yawn.
When other shops saw Su Ran's lazy appearance, they originally wanted to congratulate the opening of the new store, so they gave up, so they were so lazy, I believe that it won't be long before it opens, and it will be closed.
Open a breakfast shop, how can you get up.
Xiao Ling was in a very chaotic mood, and the clues that appeared made her feel that this murder case was really foggy, and she couldn't help but come here again, hoping to get more things.
However, with the bustling streets and people coming and going, it is simply impossible to get anything useful.
Just then, Xiao Ling saw Su Ran closing the door.
"So early?" Xiao Ling was puzzled, it was just sunset, and the next period was the time when there were the most people after work, and the upper and lower grocery stores were closed, seeing Su Ran yawning like that, looking extremely lazy, forget it, I hope he can hold on for a few more days.
It was already dark, and the street lights were on.
However, there are more and more people on the street, couples coming and going, selling stalls, and all kinds of snacks that tempt people's tastes, I have to say that the night scene of the city is more attractive than the daytime.
Xiao Ling took a deep breath, it was impossible to find another useful clue in such a place, so she left.
In the blink of an eye, in the middle of the night, it rained again for some reason.
A man with a black umbrella walked down the street and came to the upper and lower grocery stores.
Raising his hand, he hesitated, then knocked on the door, knocking continuously.
"Okay, okay," Su Ran said impatiently, "I've knocked out the one I want to accompany." ”
I opened the door and glanced at the black umbrella, "Unlucky." ”
The man who came was a man in his thirties in his thirties, with a straight suit, who looked like an urban elite, wearing black-framed glasses, looking very gentle, and smiled at Su Ran, "Boss, sorry for the interruption late at night." ”
"Okay," Su Ran was really upset to be woken up, "Say, what do you want?" ”
"A candle."
Su Ran's eyes moved, "There are still people who use candles now?" ”
"Huh?" The man was obviously panicked, he didn't expect Su Ran to ask such a question, it shouldn't be like this, "Oh, that, there are often power outages when you come in, so I want to prepare some candles for emergencies." ”
"Oh," Su Ran said casually, taking out two red candles, "This is good, not only cheap but also affordable, two for five yuan." ”
The man looked at the red candle in front of him and smiled bitterly, this was not what he wanted, "Boss, that, are there any other candles?" For example, the white one. ”
"There are white ones, but they are a little more expensive."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm going to be white." The man shouted anxiously.
Su Ran took out a white one, "Ten pieces." ”
The man's face was ugly, "Boss, I don't want this kind of candle." ”
"I only have these two here, you want the others, I really don't have any."
The man was a little anxious, his face turned red, he looked at Su Ran, and clenched his fists, "Boss, I just want a candle, the kind of candle that can go below." ”
Su Ran looked at the man, "Who gave you the black umbrella, who asked you to come to me to buy candles?" ”
The man didn't want to say more, "I know your rules, I don't have to answer, and I have a black umbrella, so you have to sell me." ”
"Yes, I understand the rules," Su Ran said, "Yes, whenever the black umbrella comes here, I must sell it, but I will set the price, if you can't afford it, I can not sell it." ”
The man gritted his teeth, "Boss, what do you want?" ”
"100 years of life!"
"I'll give it to you!"
"Hehe," Su Ran chuckled, "I look at your body, even if there is no disaster, no disease and no pain, it is only about eighty, and you are forty years old this year, and you are barely thirty left, how can you give me a hundred years." ”
"I, I," the man was at a loss, and the next moment, the man knelt down for Su Ran with a plop, "Boss, I beg you, I just want a candle, you can take everything from me, I just want to see my daughter again." ”
Su Ran's eyes moved, "Your daughter?" ”
"Yes, my daughter is dead."
Su Ran looked at the man, "Do you have a picture of your daughter?" ”
The man was stunned, I don't know why Su Ran wanted a photo, but he didn't care, he took out his mobile phone, and after opening it, the screensaver was a girl about ten years old, smiling very happily, sunny and cute.
Su Ran nodded, "Okay, for your sake, as a father, I will only accept you for ten years of life." As he spoke, he took out a candle and held out his hand.
"Thank you, thank you." The man excitedly took the candle and held Su Ran's hand.
After a while, the man left, and Su Ran looked at the man's back and silently closed the door.
The man walked down the street, holding a black umbrella and holding a candle tightly in his hand, as if he were holding a life-like existence, and his steps were very urgent, not afraid, but excited and impatient.
Suddenly, under the dim street lamp, a huge black shadow flashed.
The man was startled, looked around in fear, and found that there was nothing, but fear had already arisen in his heart, and after observing for a while, he continued to move forward.
The next moment, a beast's roar came, and a huge black bear roared and rushed out, its body was huge, twice the size of an adult black bear, but it was extremely fast, and in an instant, it came to the man's body and swung it fiercely.
The man was visibly stunned by such a terrifying black bear, his eyes widened, and he stood motionless, not even screaming.
The sharp claws of the black bear, coupled with the huge strength, this time, the man will definitely die!
The next moment, Su Ran suddenly appeared, blocking in front of the man, his eyes were cold, and he slashed out in the face of the black bear's powerful bear paw!
With a terrible scream, the huge bear paw was cut off with a knife and flew out.
The black bear glanced at Su Ran in pain and fled extremely quickly.
Su Ran didn't chase after him, and the knife in his hand was no longer there, he turned to look at the man, "Go back quickly, it's not safe here," stretched out his hand, "Give me the umbrella, it's safer for you." ”
The man had only come back to his senses from the huge black bear at this time, his face was pale, his body trembled, and he was full of horror, "Okay," gave Su Ran the black umbrella, and walked a few steps, "Boss, thank you." ”
Su Ran held the umbrella and watched the man disappear into the night, before picking up the fallen bear paw, "This is a good thing, just make up for it." ”
Su Ran went back to the upper and lower grocery stores.
It's just that what Su Ran didn't notice was that just after he went back, at a corner in the distance, Xiao Ling walked out, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed what she had just seen.
Originally, it was just insomnia, and I came here to walk around at will, who would have thought that I would see such a thing, Xiao Ling took a deep breath, looked at the upper and lower grocery stores, hesitated for a long time, and turned away.
