Although Yuan Zhou was depressed at this time, he could still afford to buy a cocktail. But he was still willing to tell his story, because he found the shop very interesting, and the old man was very interesting.

A person, regardless of whether he is eloquent or not, will inevitably make people emotional when he tells his own story, because he is telling his own experience.

And the old man is also very qualified to play the role of a good listener, his facial expressions change from time to time during the listening process, and his mouth also makes appropriate complaints or sighs from time to time. Yuan Zhou didn't know if it was an illusion, and when he said that his name was "Yuan Zhou" at first, the old man seemed to make a strange expression.

Finally, when the story was finished, Yuan Zhou smiled and said, "Old man, is my story still good?" ”

The old man immediately nodded: "Your story is good, just order whatever you want!" ”

Yuan Zhou still smiled: "Just give me another glass of water." After talking for so long, my mouth is a little dry. Then he saw the old man make an "OK" gesture with his right hand, quickly took a glass from the cup holder, and poured him a glass of lemonade.

Yuan Zhou was not polite, picked up the cup and took a big sip. The old man was busy again while he was drinking, and then he saw a large jug of lemonade appear on the bar.

Yuan Zhou was a little grateful: "The old man is so polite? The old man waved his hand: "Your story is wonderful." You're also a dutiful son! ”

Yuan Zhou had an emotional expression: "If I am really filial, I should have the ability to make money early." As a result, now, I can't even keep a place with my parents' memories. However, I did my best. Let's start working hard to earn money now, and then find a way to buy that place later. ”

After saying that, Yuan Zhou stood up: "Old man, thank you for inviting me to drink." I'm in a much better mood too. I'll pick myself up again! ”

But the old man who listened to his words held his chin in one hand and showed a thoughtful expression, perhaps he also thought of his parents. Then he said, "Your idea is actually quite practical and quite illusory. You know that yourself, right? If you can't continue to rent or buy that shop now, the things in that room will change, the location will change, and even after the landlord rents the shop to another owner.

The new boss will change the location of the room beyond recognition, and once there are these changes. Even though you did make money and bought the store more smoothly, it was no longer the place you remembered, right? Besides, even if you buy it, will that store be like that all day long? ”

Yuan Zhou, who was standing, heard the words and smiled bitterly: "Old man, why do you bother to say this? Anyway, I also have a thought. After a pause, he added: "I am the only child in the family, and when my parents die, I will have no relatives." ”

His heart was beating a little fast, and a rush of blood rushed to his head, so that his throat was stuck and he couldn't speak again.

After a long pause: "Anyway, I have tried, but at this stage, I don't have the strength to solve this problem. Even if I have a guilty conscience, I can't help it. After speaking, Yuan Zhou turned around, this time he no longer wanted to hear the old man's reply.

Who knew that the old man seemed to have changed as a person, and became aggressive: "Hehe, doesn't it matter if you have a guilty conscience?" ”

It was also a "hehe" laugh, but this time Yuan Zhou sounded quite harsh. "Guilty conscience" stimulated Yuan Zhou even more, he turned around and shouted excitedly: "I can't help it!" I can't help it! What can I do? What else can I do?! Yes? Or are you in a hurry to be righteous and willing to throw money to buy that bunk for me?! Yuan Zhou's mood was agitated, and he even changed his title.

The old man's calm expression paused for a moment, and then smiled again. was about to say something, but Yuan Zhou spoke again: "Boss, your shop is very interesting, you should also be an interesting person." It's just that many times, outsiders are not qualified to comment on the behavior of the person concerned, because you are not me, and you don't know how much I have paid and what situation I am in. ”

These words are quite reasonable, and it seems that Yuan Zhou should have calmed down and said them. Who knew that the old man nodded first, and then shook his head: "I know very well, but you don't know." ”

Yuan Zhou was stunned when he heard the old man's words, and he didn't even have the strength to be angry, so he asked speechlessly: "Old man, what are you talking about?" Don't say you're the grandfather I never knew about..."

The old man laughed when he heard this: "Of course I am not your own grandfather, but there are some things you really don't know. ”

Yuan Zhou didn't say anything, just looked at the old man and waited for him to continue.

"You know, there's a new weird story in this city?" The old man smiled and asked a question.

"Strange talk, what strange talk..." Yuan Zhou subconsciously replied, but said "strange talk". He suddenly remembered the strange tale he had just seen today, so he paused.

The old man walked out of the small door next to the bar and shook his head and said, "It is rumored that there is a Qing bar called 'Miracle' in a certain corner of this city. In that bar, there was a personable old gentleman, and he was the owner of this bar. Legend has it that if you get the chance to order a drink and tell your story at this bar, the personable old gentleman will grant you a long-awaited wish if he is interested. ”

After speaking, the old man had already walked in front of Yuan Zhou and looked at Yuan Zhou with a smile in his eyes.

Yuan Zhou, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, and his mouth opened unconsciously.

After a while, Yuan Zhoucai frowned: "You are the one here, right?" The old man nodded: "Not bad." Yuan Zhou then asked with a hint of anticipation: "You think my story is exciting, so, you can fulfill one of my wishes?" ”

The old man smiled "hehe": "This rumor was released, I remember that I explained what was going on here later, right?" Hehehehe..."

Yuan Zhou opened his mouth, but did not speak again. He had read the strange talk in its entirety, how could he not know what this old man meant?

What the old man said just now was the opening sentence of that strange story, and the rest of the content explained that there was no wish fulfillment, but a transaction. Make a deal with a boss who is not a devil, but not a god either.

The old man stopped talking, and with a wave of his left hand, a table and two chairs that were originally next to him moved horizontally around him, and the old man sat down on his own, and then smiled again: "Little friend, sit down." ”

This so-called old man is naturally Boss Wang, he bought the suit, he taught himself the bartending, and his face was changed with the exchange transaction, of course, not directly changed the face, but was painted with one of the three major evil arts in Asia - makeup!

And the so-called strange rumors are naturally circulated by him, as for the exchange to change into a clean bar again, firstly, he likes it, and secondly, this kind of environment can allow guests to relax their guard as soon as possible and tell their own stories.

Yuan Zhou felt that today should be the day with the most changes in mood, and also the day with the longest insight. But he was not stupid, combined with the words of the mysterious old man in front of him just now, combined with the scene in front of him, he quickly sat down: "It turns out that the old gentleman is the boss." I didn't expect my boss to look so kind. But the boss makes this kind of deal, which reminds me of 'making a deal with the devil.'" ”

Boss Wang smiled: "'Devil' is a statement for people who don't understand. I think I'm here to offer miracles, because I can help ordinary people fulfill their desperate desires. But miracles are not always easy to happen. It was a miracle that Huaguo won the battle against the small country back then, and it was also a miracle that the rice country won the battle, but behind the miracle of the glowing surface, how many martyrs of Huaguo were dyed with the blood? ”

After a pause, Boss Wang changed his words: "So, this miracle also needs a price." It's just that it doesn't matter if you pay the price, the reason why a miracle is a miracle is because the harvest is far higher than the pay. A miracle is the 'impossible' that breaks common sense. So what you give back will also make you feel 'impossible'. ”

This is actually Boss Wang's true thoughts, so every time he trades, if a customer expresses the idea that he is making a deal with a demon, he will immediately refute this statement, because he doesn't like others to call himself a demon. He also felt that he was making deals to each his own and to be anxious about what he needed. Who told him to think that it is better to die than to live?

Yuan Zhou was thoughtful, and he immediately asked urgently: "Then this price, is it my soul?" And, is it really possible to buy anything?! ”

Boss Wang smiled, and then put away his smile again. He lowered his head and skillfully slid his right hand on the empty table, and several cards appeared on the table. Raising his head again, he said to Yuan Zhou, who was surprised again: "The price can be the soul, but it is the most precious thing in your life."

As for you asking if you can buy anything, of course that's right. But unfortunately, since it is a transaction, you must have enough money to buy the goods I offer. You, think about it, what are you going to trade? ”

Yuan Zhou didn't think much about it, and immediately asked, "Can I buy my parents' resurrection?!" There was pleading, urgency, and hope in that voice.

Hearing Yuan Zhou's wish, Boss Wang looked at Yuan Zhou, and at this glance, he saw through all the intangible things that Yuan Zhou had, and even saw where Yuan Zhou's parents were. He shook his head: "I'm sorry, young man, you can't afford the price of resurrecting your parents. ”
