Chapter 14: The Strange Little Shop
Li Siyu smiled embarrassedly at the shopkeeper, "I'll just take a look." ”
"It's okay, you see," the shopkeeper didn't say anything, and sat down at the back of the sea of Gendiao tea and began to cook tea. A wooden spoon made of mahogany scoops the tea leaves into a gaiwan, and drenches them with boiling water from a pot next to them, and the steam carries the fragrance of tea up.
Li Siyu became interested in a bracelet on the counter. It was a black silver necklace carved with an ancient pattern, and the pendant was an amber with a dark stripe in the middle of the amber that looked like an eye, shining brightly.
"Love this necklace? I can show it to you," said the shopkeeper with a smile.
"No," Li Siyu said, "I'll just look at it like this." ”
"Then take your time, I'll pour you a cup of tea." The shopkeeper went to pour tea.
"Thank you", Li Siyu took the tea, took a sip, and felt that the tea was fragrant, "It's really good tea!" ”
"Hehe," the shopkeeper smiled, "You sit down first, I'll go get some refreshments." ”
"No need, you're too polite" Li Siyu hurriedly waved his hand, but the shopkeeper had already opened the curtain and entered.
When Li Siyu put the teacup back, he saw a newspaper on the sea of tea, and there was a photo facing up. The girl in the photo is smiling slightly, with long hair, a delicate appearance, and wearing a dress with red flowers on a white background. The photo is accompanied by a message: the identity of the female body found yesterday at the bottom of the cliff in Fei'e Mountain has been identified. The deceased, Ma Hong, accidentally fell to his death while hiking three months ago......
The woman in the photo, Li Siyu, has seen twice, once on the bus and once in a taxi.
Died three months ago? Li Siyu shuddered violently, could it be that what she saw that day was really a ghost?
"Let's have some refreshments!" The voice of the small shop owner suddenly sounded in his ears, startling Li Siyu.
The shop was paved with wooden planks, and there was a creaking sound when his feet fell on it, but the little shopkeeper walked without a sound. Li Siyu was so frightened that he took a step back.
"What's wrong?" The shopkeeper looked at her.
"Nothing?" Li Siyu said in disguise, "That necklace, can I try it on?" ”
"Of course, I'll show it to you." The shopkeeper took the necklace out of the counter and handed it to Li Siyu.
Li Siyu took the necklace and asked, "Is there a mirror?" ”
"Yes, yes," the shopkeeper hurriedly took out a mirror from under the counter.
Li Siyu looked in front of the mirror, ready to put on the necklace. Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong, and her face was reflected in the mirror, but not the face of the shopkeeper standing behind her.
She screamed.
"What's wrong?" The shopkeeper asked.
Li Siyu found that he could see him in the mirror again.
Is it dazzling? Li Siyu was suddenly very scared, she felt that this small shop and this owner were very strange.
She put down the necklace in her hand in a panic and hurriedly said to the boss, "I'm sorry, I still have something, let's come and see it next time."
After speaking, Li Siyu wanted to leave.
"Don't worry" The shopkeeper stopped Li Siyu, and stuffed the necklace back into Li Siyu's hand, "Dai Dai look, it won't be delayed for a few minutes." ”
"No need" Li Siyu was anxious, bypassing the shopkeeper and walking out.
However, the door of the small shop, which had been open, was closed at some point.
At this time, the string of glass wind chimes in front of the curtain suddenly rang.
Without a hint of wind, why do wind chimes ring.
Li Siyu felt a bone-piercing chill slowly seep into her body, making her shiver.
She watched the shopkeeper walk towards her step by step, the lights in the shop became very dim, and Li Siyu had a feeling that the darkness was about to engulf her.
The door of the crunch ——, shop suddenly opened.
Both looked towards the door, and Lear stepped over the threshold and entered.
The dimly lit shop suddenly became brighter, and Li Siyu looked at Lear's body with a golden halo, which was extremely dazzling, so that she couldn't open her eyes, as if she heard Lear's voice say, "White Tiger, don't come to harm."
