At night, the difference between the city and the countryside comes to the fore.

Even on a cloudy day without moonlight, the whole city is full of life under the bright lights.

Young men and women walked afloatly with each other on their shoulders, dressed in strange costumes, carrying bottles of wine in their hands, muttering some so-called rhetoric, and staggering into the slums that belonged to them.

The white-haired man standing at the intersection of the traffic lights frowned, he looked at the brightly lit high-rise buildings next to the black alley, this building was lit up at night, bright but not dazzling, like the tower body from the bottom to the top of the building gradually shrinking, giving people a feeling of tallness.

The white-haired man's gaze kept going up, and he saw the four big characters "Tonghai Datian" on the top of the building, and then he was sure that he had found the right place.

After many years of not being out of the mountains, the rapid change of this city is really a bit unexpected to him.

This white-haired man is naturally Li Nanshan.

At this time, Li Nanshan was carrying a sleeping Ah Nan, who was holding two rag dolls in her hands, and the harazi flowed down the corners of her mouth on the rag dolls, and then dripped on Li Nanshan's back. The first thing they did when they walked out of the mountain was to find a place to store the two suitcases that Ah Nan had packed, and then Li Nanshan curled his long hair and bought some clothes, at least to let himself and Ah Nan blend into this world from the clothes.

He made his way and walked across the street into a dark alley.

The alley was filled with a foul smell, sewage was dripping down the already decaying pipes, and a few rats were feasting in the alley, even if they saw Li Nanshan, they didn't panic at all. Next to the city's largest and most luxurious skyscrapers, the filthy alleys are a haven for these rats.

The wires hung messily overhead, and to be honest, Li Nanshan was moved. But the catastrophe back then couldn't help him, let alone the small wire now.

The lights in the small room not far away were dim, and Li Nanshan was about to walk over with his grandmother on his back, but there was the sound of a locomotive roaring at the other end of the alley, and then several motorcycles with flashing colorful lights stopped, and a burst of brainwashing music came.

"Thunder, this heavenly cultivation is the sky falling into the purple gold hammer......"

Immediately, several young people wearing riveted leather clothes and dyed their hair like traffic lights walked down with steel rods in their hands, and the sound of steel rods rubbing against the ground made Li Nanshan frown.

They came to the dimly lit house, and without saying a word, they raised the steel rod and were about to smash it, but the steel pipe in the hand of Huang Mao, who was the leader, was about to fall, but they saw a white-haired man with a child on his back in front of him.

"Boy, where are you from? Be a bird, right? ”

As he spoke, he put the steel pipe on his shoulder, patted Li Nanshan's shoulder, and even bent his fingers, hooked Li Nanshan's chin, and said defiantly: "You don't know me?" ”

Li Nanshan shook his head.

"Tonghai Street, ask who is the father! There are few people in this land who dare to fight me! Master is in a good mood today, just for this broken bookstore, if you are interested, get out of here! ”

As he spoke, he withdrew the finger that hooked Li Nanshan's chin, and somewhere he took out a knife and swiped it in his hand, and his voice became cold.

"If you're not interested, don't blame me......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Nanshan put down the little girl on his back.

"Don't blame you for anything?" A smile appeared on the corner of Li Nanshan's mouth and asked softly.

"Nothing, nothing...... "......Before the little yellow hair could react, the knife in his hand fell into Li Nanshan's hand, and this speed frightened Li Nanshan to speak.

"Boy, you are still young, don't embark on the road of crime......" The yellow hair took a step back, his voice trembling more and more, after all, from the moment Li Nanshan grabbed the knife, he knew that the white-haired boy in front of him was a good hand at playing with knives.

Hearing the words "you are still young", Li Nanshan was a little helpless, if it was calculated according to age, he didn't know how many generations of ancestors these young people were. When I think of this, I don't have the heart to worry about these little guys.

"Get out!" Li Nanshan said directly.

"Boy, behind us is the second master of Tonghai Datian Group, we are not popular today, we can't explain to the second master!" The yellow hair thought of his backstage and said boldly.

Li Nanshan heard this, and he didn't talk nonsense, and directly picked up the knife he had just grabbed and plunged it straight into his heart. This scene frightened these young people, who rubbed their eyes and were stunned.

Immediately, Li Nanshan pulled out the blood-stained knife on his chest and threw it to Xiao Huangmao, "Okay, take it back and go back to pay for it." You guys, it's better to find a job in the future, be a good person, and don't mess around. ”

Xiao Huangmao looked at Li Nanshan, who was fine, his lips were white, his legs were weak, where did he dare to take this knife, and with the support of his younger brothers, he took a step back.

"Liar, this is absolutely deceptive!" He forcibly comforted himself, how could someone pierce the heart and not die, this scene directly subverted his cognition.

"It must be the crew, you're an actor to scare me, aren't you?" The pale little yellow fur gave himself a reason, kept stepping back, and asked in a trembling voice.

Huang Mao found a reason for himself, turned around and ran, shouting and scolding while running, "What kind of garbage crew, filming in the middle of the night, what should I do if I scare the neighborhood?" Do you have a sense of public morality? ”

The group ran out of the alley and got on the motorcycle, and the music sounded again, accompanied by their roars.

"Hell! Help me! ”

Li Nanshan smiled slightly, he picked up the knife that Huang Mao threw on the ground and wiped it. At this moment, the wound on his chest had completely healed, he gently patted Ah Nan to make her sober up, and then pulled Ah Nan into this small bookstore called "Lethe".

The dim lights flickering and the old, dusty bookcases all show the despair and poverty of this small bookstore.

Under the light, an old woman sitting on a recliner slowly got up, she put on her glasses excitedly, and looked at Li Nanshan with a smile on her face in front of her, her voice trembling.

"Brother Li...... You're finally here. "The old woman had a haggard face, looked to be at least eighty years old, and her face was furrowed and covered with old age spots, and she looked like she was about to die.

is such an old man, when he saw Li Nanshan, he still shouted out the sentence "big brother".

"Ah Lian, I didn't expect you to really help me keep this bookstore."

Li Nanshan said softly, he hurriedly pressed the old man who was about to get up and pour water, picked up the kettle that was placed not far away, found the cup hidden in the bookcase, and poured a glass of water for the old man.

Everything here is the same as it was then.

"Brother Li asked me to stay here, I will stay here, as for those little gangsters, they are from Tonghai Datian Group. Every time I come to make a fuss, I shout twice, and I don't dare to do anything. After all, this land belongs to the eldest brother, and they don't dare to touch me, an old woman. Before Li Nanshan could ask, a smile appeared on the old woman's face, which was covered with old age spots, and immediately explained.

"I'm over 130 years old this year, I can't improve my cultivation, I'm coming to the end of my life, my only wish is to see Brother Li again, see Brother Li, and return this bookstore to you, I'm satisfied. This Tonghai Datian Group is a company on the surface, but behind them is the new generation of cultivators and the academy, which is responsible for slaughtering the ancient monks who have only awakened. Recently, the group wants to expand, but it just can't take the land, so it sends some thugs to find trouble. The old man hurriedly introduced the bookstore.

"I came out this time, just because I feel that I have an old friend who is about to wake up, to see if he can help me fulfill my long-cherished wish." Li Nanshan said softly.

The old man didn't reply, she knew that she was not qualified to meddle in Li Nanshan's affairs. looked at Li Nanshan, who was sitting on the side, and leaned his head lightly, snuggling up to her big brother Li as he did a hundred years ago.

"Brother Li, I miss you so much."

"Brother Li, I finally saw you."

The old man whispered, tears welling up in his eyes and a satisfied smile on his face. She leaned on Li Nanshan and slowly fell asleep, slowly losing her breath.

She's gone, out of this world. But at least at the last moment of her life, she saw the person she had been thinking of.

"The old people are withering one after another, like leaves falling in the wind."

Li Nanshan sighed, gently touched the cheek of the old man beside him, and a touch of sadness appeared in his eyes.

The next day, the Lechuan bookstore changed owners, and people nearby said that the old man's nephew took over the bookstore, and the old man left a large fortune.

After some renovation by the new owner, a new Lethe bookstore appeared.

And the owners of the new bookstore are Li Nanshan and Ah Nan.
