Rumors that there were good things in the Westside Trading House were widely circulated in Manny District for a while. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This person's curiosity is endless, if there is no news, "trapeze" or something is used as a talking point, and slowly forget about it, but from the Western Border Commercial Bank from time to time a little news, everyone's appetite is hanged, so that one spread ten, ten spread hundred, Manny District up to the wealthy businessmen, down to the husband, all know this rumor.
Someone with good deeds even asked President Sasha, but he was also vague and ambiguous, and only assured: "It will surprise everyone." It made the whole Mani district noisy.
......
A few days passed like this, one day, Benny, who was on night duty at the spear hunting carriage and horse shop, was bored playing cards with his hard-working colleagues who were also on duty at night, and he had been on duty for several days in a row, and he yawned several times in a row, and as a result, he made a mistake in the wrong card if he was not careful.
The person sitting opposite him cheered, and shouted: "Give money, give money!", said with a smile on his face and spread out the cards in his hand, a bad hand, this kind of bad cards can win, no wonder he is so proud.
Benny stupidly threw down the cards in his hand, took out a handful of money from his pocket and slapped it on the table, stood up and turned to leave, ignoring the shouts of "one more hand" behind.
The night wasn't as hot as the day, and Benny walked to the window to get a cool breeze and smoke a cigarette. But I saw a row of incandescent light in the distance in front of the left, which was even more dazzling and shining in the darkness. Benny thought he was sleepy-eyed and didn't see clearly, so he quickly rubbed his eyes and looked at it, but it was still white.
At first, Benny thought that there was a fire somewhere, and the night was lit up, and he just wanted to call for firefighting, but when he looked closely, it didn't look like it. The fires are all rising into the sky, and the shape should be straight upwards, and they will swing with the direction of the wind, how can there be such a constant horizontal, and this light is snow-white, completely different from the bright red flames.
Benny was even more uncertain at this time, and hurriedly beckoned everyone: "Look, what is that!", seeing that everyone was busy gambling cards, no one paid attention to him, and shouted two sentences at the top of his voice. When the others saw him shouting so urgently, they thought something was wrong, and hurriedly threw down the cards in their hands and ran over.
"What do you see that?" Benny asked, pointing to the light in front of him, beckoning to everyone, and the others stood on tiptoe and looked out, but couldn't tell why, looking at the white sway, how could they know what it was.
Benny didn't count on them anymore, and put on his clothes and was about to go downstairs to have a look, when one of them shouted after him, "Don't you have to work the night shift, you guy? ”
Benny had already "pedaled" downstairs, and his voice came from downstairs, "How do you know if you don't say that the steward, you watch for me for a while, I'll go and I'll be back immediately, just standing here and guessing that you're uncomfortable, aren't you?"
As he spoke, he ran out of the spear hunting cart and horse shop, looking for the direction of the light and running all the way, and the more he ran, the more he found that the light was a little familiar, and when he ran closer and took a closer look, he couldn't help but shudder, isn't that the universal text of the kingdom? The bright white light was placed into four huge fonts: Western Territory Trading House. Benny's mouth grew up, and he swore he would never forget the sight for the rest of his life, and four huge glowing fonts hung in the night sky, like a miracle, illuminating the surroundings.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the slightest coolness made Benny finally recover from his state of confusion, he calmed down, looked around, and found that he had run directly to the gate of the Westland Comptoir in one breath, and then remembered that the Westrealm Comptoir had installed a few iron shelves on the top floor a few days ago, and after being discussed by everyone for a long time, everything fell into place: these four huge luminous fonts were installed on those iron shelves.
And this is what the Westside Comptoir has been secreting, saying that it is a good thing to surprise everyone.
Benny gasped excitedly, and said in his heart that he was the first witness, and this Western Territory Merchant House was really extraordinary, and he didn't say anything big. It's just that they are not doing it right, at night these four words shine brightly, everyone also falls asleep, isn't it equivalent to showing the blind man, what's the use, can this light be bright until tomorrow morning?
After watching for a long time, Benny was afraid of the messy tongue that was on duty for him, so he hurriedly turned around and returned, pondering as he went: "What is the matter with this big glowing letter? Is it a fire? But it doesn't look like it, after all, what is the snow-white light all about? Except for the thunderbolts from the sky, the usual candles, torches, etc. have not been seen in this color?", the more I thought about it, the more I didn't understand.
When he returned to the spear hunting cart and horse shop, he told everyone about it, but he was questioned, "It can't be that you are mistaken, right?" someone doubted. Some people even scoffed, "Benny, your big mouth is good bragging, I guess you haven't woken up yet, right?" Benny's face was flushed, and the bruises in his temples burst out.
He yelled, "I'm bragging, fart! What good is it for Lao Tzu to lie to you? If you don't believe it, you can go to the Western Border Trading House by yourself and have a look, and I'll stay here for the night." If Lao Tzu tells a lie, he will let Lei chop to death tomorrow!"
Hearing him swear like this, a group of people looked at each other, but they really believed him, and I don't know who shouted, everyone rushed over, leaving Benny still indignant, "Lao Tzu's big mouth?
After a while, the group came back noisily again, and Benny greeted him with a smile, "Why? am I bragging?", everyone laughed and gave up their hands, and said good things, and finally coaxed him to lose his anger.
"Look, I guess it's some special lamp oil, even if it doesn't go out tomorrow, it will be extinguished in a few days. Someone else swore and said, and a person next to him retorted: "Come on, the Western Border Commercial Bank has spent so much effort just to brighten up for a few days?"
"And what do you say the light is all about?"
"This ......"
In short, everyone kept talking, and there was no conclusion.
In fact, this night, it was only the lucky people of the spear hunting carriage and horse shop who discovered the strange scene of the Western Territory Trading Company, and several other people also saw it, and since they saw it, they couldn't help but comment on it, and they were so excited that they couldn't sleep anymore.
So in the night, when everyone was asleep, some people tossed and turned, couldn't sleep, and excitedly waited for the dawn to come.
