Chapter 5: The Strange Schneider
Just as Xi Yue and Tang Li were about to enter this antique shop called Buqian, a figure that made Xi Yue a little familiar happened to walk out of the store. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What a coincidence, we met again. Leah, who had just been separated from Xiyue for a short time, greeted Xiyue very naturally, just like a friend who had been reunited after a long absence.
Xiyue looked at Leah, who was smiling, and said, "Has your letter been delivered?"
"That's natural, I'm a punctual messenger, and I'm never late for the appointed time. Leah looked complacent.
"So, are you leaving?" Xiyue said with a smile.
Leah smiled at Xiyue and didn't reply, but walked straight past the two of them.
At the moment when she staggered by, Xiyue's nose twitched slightly, and she smelled a faint smell of blood from the delicate perfume smell on Leah's body.
After Leah walked away, Tang Li looked at Leah's back and asked Xiyue with curiosity, "Do you know that foreigner just now?"
Xiyue nodded and said to Tang Li: "Well, let's count it as acquaintance, she is the one who sat next to us on the plane, and after you fell asleep, I chatted with her for a while." ”
After talking about the incident on the plane, Tang Li's little face flushed slightly reflexively. As if to change the topic, Tang Li pointed to the dilapidated plaque of this antique shop and said: "The name of this shop looks so strange, it is obviously an antique shop, but the name has the word nunnery, if others don't know, they think this is a place for nuns to retreat." ”
Xiyue glanced at Tang Li, and her eyes revealed a faint smile, "An actually has the meaning of study......
"Let's hurry up and get in. Tang Li interrupted Xiyue's desire to continue, and hurriedly pushed him into the store......
Xiyue and Tang Li, who had stepped into the store, walked slowly in the slightly dimly lit interior, creaking as their footsteps stepped on the wooden floors of those old years.
In a corner of the store, a diminutive old man huddled to the side, quietly observing the two men who entered the room.
Tang Li, who was not aware of the peeping, looked around at his little head in the store, and shouted loudly in the store: "Hello, may I ask anyone? We are here to find someone." ”
There was no sound of response to Tang Li's inquiry, only the footsteps of Xiyue and Tang Li still echoed in this narrow space.
Just as Tang Li was about to ask again, Xiyue grabbed Tang Li's shoulder and shook her head.
Unlike Tang Li, Xi Yue, who has the three laws of mechanics and the law of cooling, has apparently discovered another person in the store.
He didn't have much flesh on his body, and he was as thin as an old osprey. But on the slightly tanned face, the short handful of beard is very delicately groomed, and the whole person looks very energetic.
On his shriveled face, the deep-set eyes were extremely bright, and it was rare to see such sharp and bright eyes in a man of his age.
After realizing that he had been discovered by Xi Yue, the old man simply gave up his plan to hide his body and walked out of the dark corner generously.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Schneider?" Xiyue said very politely, looking at the thin old man who came out of the corner.
The thin old man glanced at Xi Yue out of the corner of his eye, as if he didn't hear him speak, and walked straight under a shelf, sat down with a big sting, and stared at Xi Yue with unkind eyes.
Tang Li gently poked Xiyue's waist twice with his fingers, and whispered in his ear: "That old man, could it be that his ears are not good." ”
As if in response to Tang Li's words, the thin old man sitting on the ground glared at Tang Li fiercely, still silent, looking like a dumb person.
Judging from the phenomenon just now, the thin old man in front of him obviously has no problem with hearing, and may even be much better than ordinary people imagine, the other party is unwilling to deal with himself and Tang Li, there must be some reason, since this is the case, it is better to go straight to the point and tell him his intentions, "Mr. Schneider, we were introduced by Satan, and we came to take the liberty of disturbing this time, hoping to transfer the fruit of Leibniz's wisdom that you have in your hands to us." ”
Just as Xi Yue thought, when he said the word Satan, the slightly sparse eyebrows on the thin old man's face were obviously provoked, obviously having an impression of the name Satan.
Having said that, after Xiyue said his intentions straight to the point, the thin old man in front of him still didn't say a word, just stared at Xiyue and Tang Li tightly, as if he was afraid that they would steal the goods in the store.
At this time, even Xi Yue began to doubt that the old man in front of him, who was suspected of being Schneider, should be a mute, but if he was just dumb, he should be able to express his meaning through words or other means, looking at his current appearance, it seems that he has no such plan, what is he ......
Just when Xiyue was feeling a little confused, Tang Li inadvertently broke the current deadlock with a move.
"Hey, that little girl over there, don't touch my goods with your dirty hands if you're not going to buy them. When he saw Tang Li about to touch a certain strange-shaped kitten placed on the shelf, the thin old man opened his eyes and shouted at Tang Li.
Startled by this sudden roar, Tang Li almost accidentally knocked the kitten off the shelf, if it wasn't for Xiyue's timely use of gravity to reset the kitten, Tang Li would probably have to shatter this handicraft that seemed to be made of porcelain.
At the moment when he saw Xi Yue use gravity, a fleeting strange look bloomed in the eyes of the thin old man, and it seemed that he had captured the slightest fluctuation of force.
In the following time, the three of them fell into the same atmosphere of silence as before, and the thin old man, who proved that he was not dumb with a sudden shout, continued to stare at the two of them fiercely, without making any sound.
Tang Li, who was stared at by the thin old man, looked at Xiyue very helplessly, not knowing what the thin old man on the other side meant.
Faced with this strange situation, Xiyue lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and said to the thin old man: "We want to buy something here, do you have anything you can introduce to us?"
"It's a guest, so I'm welcome. When he heard Xiyue say that he wanted to buy something, the thin old man who had been tightening his face suddenly stretched his brows and showed a very bright smile, "My name is Schneider, and I am the owner of this unkeenary shopkeeper, if you want to buy any good goods on this glass street, you must be right to find me." ”
