Chapter 1 Opening of the business
In the summer of 2023, the summer of Liushui City is so hot, and the cicadas that have been dormant underground for three years are lying on the trees and shouting hoarsely.
There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, and Longmen Road, as the main road of Liushui City, is slightly crowded even if it is eight lanes. Today is Saturday, and the streets are naturally full of people, and there are many students standing on the roadside bubble tea shops and fruit stands.
There are four universities on Longmen Road, and every Saturday there are tens of thousands of students who come and go, and all of these students have a youthful look on their faces, like canaries longing for the outside world.
In a small alley next to Longmen Road, a store of eight or nine square meters is located.
This kind of small shop can be said to be full of streets, in the flowing water market, where every inch of land is expensive, ordinary people do not have the financial ability to pay such a high store.
A girl who looks to be in her early twenties is leaning on the Taishi chair, with light blue Doraemon cartoon pajamas and a pair of pale pink slippers looking a little philistine.
"Hello, is there a watch in there?" A gentle male voice came.
The girl raised her head in displeasure, and there was still a little anger in her eyes, as if she was a little dissatisfied with the man who suddenly interrupted her sleep
"There's inside, pick what, April, there's a guest." The girl said loudly into the room.
The man saw a seven or eight-year-old boy running out of his fart, and said with a flattering face: "Come on, come on, we have just bought the new goods here, and it is especially suitable to send a girlfriend to a wife." ”
The man looked at the two people in front of him, one big and one small, full of puzzlement, the man really couldn't imagine that the young and beautiful woman in front of him lived like seven or eight years old, while the seven or eight-year-old boy in front of him lived like he was in his twenties.
The man's name is Lin Zimeng, a student in the history department of the Faculty of Letters, and he is here to choose a birthday present for the girl he likes.
After the little boy welcomed Lin Zimeng in, he didn't forget to glance at the girl on the Taishi's chair at the door.
"This handsome guy, this is the latest model from our shop, purely mechanical, inlaid with blue crystal, the color is appropriate, low-key connotation, the most suitable for sending girlfriends or something." The little boy kept selling the gifts in the middle of the counter and said.
Looking at the little boy's look of being able to do business, Lin Zimeng couldn't help but praise: "I am so good at doing business at a young age, and I have a bright future in the future." ”
Lin Zimeng thought that the little boy would be embarrassed and shy, but he didn't expect the little boy to say with a sad face: "What can I do, if it weren't for making a living, who would want to work so hard every day." ”
Lin Zimeng suddenly laughed when he heard this: "You are really a little adult, how much is this watch?" ”
The little boy said seriously: "Three thousand yuan, no price." ”
Hearing the number three thousand, Lin Zimeng suddenly fell into a trance.
That's right, he doesn't have so much money, he is different from the rich boy in those online novels, he comes from the mountains, and even his living expenses are put together by his neighbors. In the four years of college, Lin Zimeng has never gone out on holidays. But this weekend is different, the girl he likes has a birthday, and he hopes to be able to give a gift to his beloved girl.
The little boy also seemed to see that Lin Zimeng's constraints did not break it directly, but said calmly: "I'm really sorry, I took the wrong one, this watch was ordered by another guest." We have some other styles, I'll take them out for you and pick them out. ”
"No, no. I have something else to do, so I won't bother you yet. After Lin Zimeng finished speaking, he turned around and ran away quickly.
After watching the only customer who entered the store in three days leave, the little boy muttered to the girl who was leaning on the Taishi's chair at the door: "It's been three days, and we haven't made a single business, so what can I do with the money I pay to marry my wife." ”
After hearing the little boy's muttering, the girl said weakly: "April, how old are you, what is the hurry when you are more than 100 years old, shouldn't you Qingluan marry at the age of 300?" There are still more than 100 years, so what's the hurry. ”
April pinched her waist with both hands and said with a displeased face: "Sister, haven't you heard that marrying a wife is very stressful now?" According to the marriage rate in modern China, there will be 35 million men who will be singles. ”
The girl reluctantly cut off and said with displeasure: "That's a person, okay, what are you, you are a divine bird Qingluan, you are excellent in your bones." ”
April heard this and walked in front of the girl with her hands pinched her waist, but her thin and small figure blocked all the girl's sunshine: "You look like a wicked mother-in-law who tries to get something for nothing, let me tell you first, I don't have the qualifications to be a phoenix man, my love is free." ”
The girl blocked her ears and turned over with difficulty: "I know, I know." I'm a waste of firewood, I've watched too many bubble dramas, little ancestor, you let me rest for a while. ”
As soon as the girl's words fell, a huge clock rang in the shop, and the heavy sound was like a horn for death.
When April heard this, she immediately showed her aunt's smile: "Yo roar, it looks like it's time to work." Hurry up, get up. ”
The girl sat up helplessly on the Taishi chair, with a world-weary expression and messy hair, like a prisoner waiting to be executed, especially the two dull hairs on her head were even more miraculous.
"It's so annoying, next time I talk to those people in advance, Saturday and Sunday are closed, and they won't be open." The girl complained.
"This time you are going to the Great Song Dynasty, where you pay attention to the five-day rest. That translates to one rest in ten days. April Science said: "My sister, you are a time monger, if you are so lazy, be careful that your own time will not be enough." ”
The girl's name is Sima Yue, the surname Sima has long been rare, and there may be less than 30,000 people with the surname Sima in the entire Huaxia, but in the Eastern Jin Dynasty a thousand years ago, the Sima family was a real famous family.
Sima Yue is a descendant of the Sima family, and he has lived until now because he has eaten some unsuccessful elixir cultivated by the Sima family. Sima Yue also took the initiative to understand all the mysteries, but in the end, he found that he couldn't find a trace of it, on the contrary, Sima Yue, who accidentally ate the pill, gained the power of immortality, and was able to see some things that ordinary people can't see, that is, demons.
It's also strange to say that the description of monsters has never stopped in all dynasties, and even in modern times, there are still people who use it as a medium, and many popular monsters and human love emerge in endlessly. Sima Yue also turned a blind eye to this, because she also raised a monster called April. April is a Qingluan, and for some reason he also stayed by Sima Yue's side, which can be regarded as making Sima Yue's journey not lonely.
As a lucky person abandoned by time, Sima Yue can travel through any time and time node, except for not being able to make major changes to history, he can make some transactions with anyone, and the price of the transaction is time. Sima Yue doesn't know if there are people like him in the whole world, but according to the current situation, it's a pity that there isn't.
"Got it, got it, I'll go now, you cook at home." Sima Yue stretched and said.
"Then my dearest old lady, do you want to eat stewed tofu or mapo tofu for dinner?" April 90 degrees bent down and said respectfully.
"Stinky tofu." Sima Yue said gloomily.
Hearing the three words of stinky tofu, April subconsciously pinched his nose and said with a disgusted face: "You are insisting, if you don't take a bath for another three days, you will have that smell on your body." ”
Seeing the honest April, Sima Yue couldn't help pinching April's chubby face: "Then I'm also your sister, go cook." ”
Sima Yue walked straight to the house, Lin Zimeng didn't look carefully just now, if he looked carefully, he would find that there was no mirror, and the flow of time was the same.
Sima Yue then flicked the hour hand of the clock, the space next to him seemed to be distorted, and April behind him kept waving his hand, with a careful expression of his sister all the way.
"Stinky tofu should be doubled, put more chili peppers." After Sima Yue left a sentence, he disappeared out of thin air.
