Shen Yungui's store is not big, and a small cubicle is divided for him to use lazily, which makes the place where he sells things look even more narrow.

The decoration of the store is antique, with carved doors and windows, solid wood tables and chairs. There were a few calligraphy and paintings hanging in the blank space on the wall, and a few rows of wooden shelves were lined with a pile of things that looked quite like that.

There were three large cabinets side by side in the corner of the wall, and Shen Yungui was now squatting under one of them rummaging for something.

"Hmm...... Walnuts......" Shen Yungui rummaged in one cabinet for a while, turned out a bunch of things, then stuffed things back, turned around and opened the door of another cabinet.

In the end, he finally raised his head, took out a stack of boxes, and placed them in front of Xia Beifeng's eyes, "You can find it yourself, there should be a few of them, and I don't know which one is." ”

"Your store is open, and no one usually comes, and you can still make such a mess of things, why hasn't it closed down yet!" Xia Beifeng said and threw the melon seed shell in his hand into the trash can on the ground, leaned over and began to turn over the pile of boxes.

Shen Yungui stood up, raised his leg and kicked Xia Beifeng, turned around and left.

"Why do you suddenly remember to ask for walnuts again?" Shen Yungui held the teacup, sat beside Mingmei, and looked at Xia Beifeng who was half-kneeling on the ground with some curiosity, "I remember that you shouldn't play this much, or do you want to take it home and collect it?" ”

"Not me." Xia Beifeng lowered his head and opened a small brocade box, saw a pair of jade earrings inside, sighed, put the box aside, lowered his head and continued to open one, "My master lost two some time ago, I'll see if I can find two more good ones for him." ”

Shen Yungui looked up at the ceiling, and after recalling for a while, he remembered who Xia Beifeng was referring to, "The master you are talking about, is it Ye Baiyu?" ”

Xia Beifeng nodded and put a jade bracelet aside. Stacked with the previous pair of earrings.

"He had nothing to do and threw walnuts as a hidden weapon to play, and as a result, he was ground into walnut powder with his bare hands. He told me it was okay, and I thought he was very distressed. ”

"What the hell have you been through!" Shen Yungui asked in shock.

Xia Beifeng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I went up the mountain and caught a zombie...... Nothing more. ”

Shen Yungui looked at Xia Beifeng dumbfounded, and the teacup was raised in the air. But I forgot what I did next.

"I haven't been here for so long, why are you getting more and more messy." Mingmei finally took her eyes off the tattered little wooden box, looked around the storefront, and then looked at the pile of things in front of Xia Beifeng, and asked Shen Yungui: "You have so many things, just mix them up like this, is it okay?" ”

"There shouldn't be any problem, anyway, I don't usually have much business." Shen Yun came back to his senses and took a sip of tea. He tapped his toes twice on the ground and smiled "you know" at Mingmei.

"Although there are real things on it, they can't be sold."

Mingmei nodded, handed the box in her hand to Xia Beifeng, and said to him, "Don't look for your walnuts yet, look at this." ”

"Haven't you seen this before?" Xia Beifeng lowered his head, pushed his bright hand away from his eyes, and opened a brocade box again, "The contents have run away." Now it's an empty box. ”

The box in Xia Beifeng's hand contained a pair of red walnuts, and the two walnuts looked similar in size. The pattern is also very similar, and the texture of the walnut has been polished to a shiny one, which looks good.

"It's running, it's running, but it seems to have been running for a few days, what do you say it's running for no reason." Mingmei frowned and looked at the small box in her hand, closed her eyes and thought for a while. He looked up at Shen Yungui again and asked, "You should have run when you were in this store, how long have you been getting this thing?" ”

"It's been more than a month, and our guy has collected it." Shen Yungui recalled hard for a while, and shook his head at Mingmei, "I can't remember the specific time, anyway, it seems to be summer at that time." It is said that a little girl wearing a hat came to sell it, and it was sold for 200 yuan, and I thought it was cheap. What's wrong, what's the problem? ”

"That's a bit of a problem." Xia Beifeng took the pair of walnuts in his hand, looked at them carefully for a while, and finally shook his head, put them back in the box, and piled them aside, before looking at Shen Yungui and saying, "The thing on it ran for a week at most, and it was in your store during the previous time." ”

"But it didn't do anything." Shen Yungui touched his chin, his expression seemed to be a little confused, "This thing has always been honest, I didn't cry every night, I didn't move anywhere casually, and I didn't sing, dance, and commit suicide in my dreams...... If you don't talk about it, I'll forget that there's such a thing, so it shouldn't be a problem. ”

"Then it's even more problematic." Xia Beifeng glanced at Mingmei as he spoke, nodded at her, turned around and lowered his voice, mysteriously approached Shen Yungui's ear, and said to him in a tone like telling a ghost story: "The original person who lived here was not an honest master, how could he not make any trouble at all when he came to your store, and in the end, I don't know why I ran away." ”

Shen Yun paused for a moment, and then laughed without warning.

"You stay away from me......" He looked at Xia Beifeng and laughed breathlessly, "I know this is quite serious, but why do you want to laugh when you say it...... Hahaha...... The tone of your voice just now doesn't fit you at all, you know...... Aha......"

Xia Beifeng straightened his waist, looked at Shen Yungui, and sighed, with a regretful expression.

Shen Yungui was smiling, his intuition was not good, he immediately pulled up his face, and nodded at Mingmei seriously.

"Sister Ming, do you think I have other problems in this store? There's something more powerful than this, so it scares away? ”

"Can't you just check the surveillance and see who's selling this thing?" Xia Beifeng lowered his head again and continued to rummage through the pile of boxes for what he was looking for.

"Surveillance?" Shen Yungui raised his head, looked at the roof and recalled for a while, and said with a little hesitation: "I'm ...... I don't think there's any surveillance......"

I don't even install monitoring, the door is so open, the boss sleeps in the house every day, and I don't know when the guy will get off work. Why hasn't your store closed yet?

Xia Beifeng complained a few words in his heart, and turned his head to look at Mingmei.

"What do you think should be done now, if you want me to say just leave them alone.

"Don't ignore me, Sister Ming." Shen Yungui pretended to wail, and respectfully poured a cup of tea for Mingmei, "Our Xiaobei is a white-eyed wolf. Don't listen to him! ”

"It's not so much what to do...... Mingmei frowned, crossed one leg, tapped her fingers lightly on the coffee table, made a crisp sound, looked at Shen Yungui seriously, and said to him: "We don't even know what this thing is now." ”

Xia Beifeng let out a surprised "hey" and asked Mingmei, "You didn't find it?" ”

Mingmei nodded, pursed her mouth, and looked down at her fingers.

"I looked around. Didn't find anything...... It should be said that he has too many things here, and he can't tell which one it is. ”

"Uncle, can you remember?" Xia Beifeng turned his head to look at Shen Yungui, raised his hand and threw the two walnuts aside, "Is there anything else that is very strange recently, or the people who sell things are very strange." ”

"What ......" Shen Yungui stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, leaned back in the chair, shook his head vigorously, and had a painful expression on his face, "Ah, I can't think of it." There are so many things back and forth during this time, I can't say which one. ”

"Don't you even keep accounts?" Mingmei asked curiously.

"Uh...... Sometimes. Also take notes. Shen Yungui grabbed his hair and smiled awkwardly, "I just remember the amount of money, I don't remember the rest." ”

"It's not easy for you to stay alive after so many years." Mingmei said bitterly: "Why did I think you were the most reliable one in that group of rats before, I was really blind!" ”

"In that case, let's leave it alone." Xia Beifeng threw the last box aside, stood up and stretched, "I didn't find a good one." Let's go home, I'll take that thing back first, and look for Xiaotian. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Mingmei and hooked his fingers.

Mingmei put the small wooden box in Xia Beifeng's hand and stood up with him. Turned his head to look at Shen Yungui.

"Then I'll go too, if you remember what it is, just call me, I'll show you when I'm free."

Shen Yungui was still trying to recall whether he had encountered anything suspicious recently, and only came back to his senses when he heard Mingmei's words, and quickly stood up, "I'll go with you too, I always feel that I don't want to be here alone after listening to the two of you." ”

"You shouldn't be alone in this store at all, the eight characters are so light, and you still stay in a place where the yin qi is so heavy...... There was also a mess in the house. Xia Beifeng said and took out the car key, turned his head and asked Mingmei: "Do you want me to send you?" ”

"No need." Mingmei waved at him and strode out the door, "You can go by yourself, I'll take a few turns outside and see if I can meet anything good." ”

Xia Beifeng waved at her, watched the red figure disappear outside the door, and then turned his head to look at Shen Yungui.

"What about you? Do you want me to send you? ”

"Okay, wait until I lock the door." Shen Yungui dragged a coat and draped it on his body, and asked Xia Beifeng curiously, "When did you become so familiar with Sister Ming, why don't I know." ”

"We've always known each other." Xia Beifeng smiled weirdly at him, "Always...... Very well cooked. ”

Shen Yungui looked at him in confusion.

Xia Beifeng looked back meaningfully at the past.

Shen Yungui blinked, suddenly understood something, and took two steps back suddenly.

"No, it won't!" Shen Yungui glanced at Xia Beifeng in surprise, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, "You, you, you...... You and her...... You two ......."

He stammered for a long time, but he couldn't get that sentence out, and the expression on his face was almost like seeing an alien.

Xia Beifeng nodded, and his clothes didn't feel that something was wrong.

"You know how old she is!" Shen Yungui pointed to the door and shouted loudly, "You are simply ...... It's just ...... Why didn't the second brother kill you! ”

"Seventy-three." Xia Beifeng said calmly: "My dad and his old man never care about these things, even if he is seven hundred and thirty years old, he will not care. Besides, according to your algorithm, why didn't grandpa kill you, I just had a friendly exchange with others, you were wild when you were young. ”

Shen Yungui lowered his head and touched his chest, sat down on the chair on the side, and felt that he needed to calm down.

The room gradually darkened, and the sandalwood smoke that had been permeating the room dissipated a lot with the passage of time, and the outside light faintly came through the window.

"I can't leave yet." Xia Beifeng leaned on the corner of the wall, turned the car key in his hand again and again, boredly counted the patterns on the window, and said casually: "What a big deal, are you there?" ”

"You let me ...... slowly" Shen Yungui looked down at the tea on the table in front of him, took a few deep breaths, looked up at Xia Beifeng's face, and said seriously: "Mingmei is not a good person, do you know?" ”

Xia Beifeng nodded without hesitation.

"Hasn't she been providing you with technical support all along? After that, take a cut of the money you sell your things. ”

"That's not all." Shen Yungui stood up again, walked in front of Xia Beifeng, and patted him on the shoulder: "Xiaobei, listen to me, she is ...... person."

"I know." Xia Beifeng shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Shen Yungui, "I also know what she has done." But we both just take what we need from the beginning, you don't have to worry, I know what to do. ”

I'm just worried that you have too much in your heart, and you will be cheated in the end!

Ye Baiyu doesn't care about you!

When he thought of Ye Baiyu, Shen Yungui suddenly realized something, looked at Xia Beifeng in shock again, and asked with difficulty: "Did Ye Baiyu already know about this matter." ”

"I knew it from the beginning." Xia Beifeng looked at Shen Yungui calmly, "He told me not to make trouble, just do anything else." ”

When Shen Yungui heard this, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted. He took a deep breath, glared at Xia Beifeng fiercely, and walked out of the door angrily.

Xia Beifeng looked around the store, picked up the tea on the table, drank it all, and then followed Shen Yungui out.

When the doors closed, the small antique shop was plunged into darkness.

Between the cabinet and the wall, a metal clasp the size of a fingernail lay and shook twice from the vibration of the closed door.

A thin layer of dust had fallen on the clasp, obscuring the delicate patterns and dim silver light on its body, and the ash was inconspicuous.

And on the back of the clasp, there were a few small splashes of dark red blood.

A black reflection flashed across the clasp.
