Chapter 19: Qingping Lane
The man called again, and his voice was more urgent than before.
Jian Zhizhi saw that there was only half an acre of land left and had not been watered, so he directly came to a heavenly maiden to scatter flowers.
Jian Zhizhi walked out of the backyard and saw that the originally dark shop was bright, and the door was opened at some point.
There was also a young man in gray clothes, who was only thirteen or fourteen, who was wandering around restlessly.
Seeing Jian Zhizhi come out with all his needs, the boy breathed a big sigh of relief, strode forward and said to her with palpitations:
"Shopkeeper, you can be regarded as coming out, I thought something happened to you."
What can happen at home?
Or is something happening?
Jian Zhi was puzzled, this guy was a bit strange, she was sure that she hadn't seen him, but he seemed to know her.
Without waiting for her to answer, the other party asked eagerly:
"Why did you come out so late? Did you see ......?"
Before he could finish speaking, a trace of horror flashed across the man's face, as if he had thought of something terrible.
Even, the words that came out of the question deliberately lowered his voice:
"Shopkeeper, did you see anything strange last night?"
At the end of the words, the man's voice was much weaker.
Jian Zhizhi looked at the boy in front of him suspiciously, a little unclear.
Before entering the backyard last night, she obviously closed the door carefully, just for fear that someone would sneak in while she was unprepared.
Right now, how did this man get in?
What's more, when this person saw her come out, he wasn't even afraid at all, and he was even arrogant to ask her questions.
Just as Jian Zhizhi wanted to ask, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the outside of the shop.
The building outside the shop is different from the closed shop I saw yesterday, and has become a wall paved with blue bricks.
It's as if a night has passed, and her shop has suddenly changed places.
Jian Zhizhi knew that the 'why are you in my shop' on her lips was swallowed back by her, and instead followed the words of the man in front of her and asked:
"What's weird?"
She had been busy in the backyard without much rest, and the night had suddenly passed, and she was also confused.
It wasn't until he heard his voice come out that Jian Zhizhi was sure that he hadn't seen anything strange.
But if the shop changes places, then this last night......
It's up for debate.
Seriously, after she got the order, she encountered a little strange thing.
Those people who leave a list and disappear are indeed a little strange.
Jian Zhizhi looked at the man in front of him, he called himself the shopkeeper, and asked her what strange things she saw last night, it was very likely that he was in this shop last night.
Anyway, this was the first person she saw, and Jian Zhizhi also had the intention to test a thing or two.
Jian Zhizhi: "What did you see last night?" ”
Song Lin frowned, as if he didn't know whether to say it or not, and his face flashed with hesitation and indescribability.
For a long time, Song Lin's voice was filled with a hint of despair, "Didn't you see it?" ”
Jian Zhizhi was silent for a moment, and seeing that his face seemed to be frightened by something, he softened his voice and soothed:
"Tell me what you see? Maybe I've seen it too? ”
The expression on Song Lin's face was really much better, and he was willing to talk:
"That's it, that's it!
I woke up last night and saw someone walking around our shop, and when I drove him away, I found my hand going through his body! ”
"Shopkeeper, my hand went straight through!"
When he said this, Song Lin's face flashed with horror, and he raised his half-open right hand to show Jian Zhizhi.
"This way, I passed through without hindrance."
Brief Knowledge: ???
Are you sure it's because you haven't woken up yet, and you're confused?
Song Lin slowed down for a while before continuing:
"Then he suddenly appeared at the counter again, fiddling with the abacus, and he threatened me not to give him anything to eat, and then in the blink of an eye, the man was gone."
Jian Zhizhi was silent, feeling that this guy was afraid that he didn't wake up at that time, or was dreaming.
After Song Lin finished talking about his experience last night, he exhaled as if relieved, and added without waiting for Jian Zhizhi to speak:
"By the way, he also said that we took his shop, so we should compensate him."
Jian Zhizhi's expression was obvious when he heard this, and he occupied his shop?
Jian Zhizhi looked at the situation in the shop openly, and the shop was full of familiar rice.
Seeing these rice, Jian Zhizhi was also stunned for a moment.
When she went into the backyard yesterday, she didn't put anything in the shop.
Jian Zhizhi quickly looked away and looked away.
There was no food in the shop other than rice, and it was supposed to be just a rice shop.
The shop is not big, and the scale of the shop I saw yesterday is about the same, and Jian Zhizhi glanced at the whole picture.
There was a counter at the door, on which were placed abacus, and some ledgers and the like.
There are also sacks stacked together in the right corner of the shop, and the sacks are bulging, and they should also be filled with rice.
Unlike yesterday's shop, in addition to the place where she came out in the backyard, there is also a small door in this shop, which may be the place where the person in front of him rests.
Jian Zhizhi asked, "Where did you see that person last night?" ”
From the few sporadic words in this person's mouth, Jian Zhizhi could probably guess that this person should be a guy in the shop.
It is also because of this that his words 'in our shop' blurted out without thinking.
Song Lin: "It's next to these rices, behind the counter where you're sitting." ”
This......
Where does she sit?
When you hear this, why does it feel a little infiltrating?
Jian Zhizhi glanced at the position behind the counter, and hesitation flashed in his eyes, it couldn't be that there was really a ghost.
Song Lin looked at Jian Zhizhi with a hesitant expression, and said suspiciously:
"Shopkeeper, did you think we encountered something dirty?"
Jian Zhizhi walked over to the counter, and asked as he walked:
"Is there a shortage of things in the shop?"
Song Lin shook his head, and only spoke up when he found that Jian Zhizhi couldn't see it with his back to him:
"It's not missing, but it's ......"
Song Lin didn't know how to explain it, this kind of thing was indeed a bit unbelievable,
He couldn't sleep a little after last night, and after that he held his breath for most of the night without hearing a movement, and as soon as dawn he sneaked out to see.
It's good in the shop, as if there is not a grain of rice missing.
It was also when he saw that Jian Zhi had not come out before dawn, so he shouted a few times to the backyard in a panic.
Jian Zhizhi is not a lazy person, she usually sits in her place on time when she should open the door to do business:
Wait for someone to come to buy rice, settle the bill, and record the situation.
Not only did she not sit in her place today, but she didn't even come out for breakfast.
Thinking about what happened to him last night, isn't it scary?
Jian Zhizhi: "There is no shortage of things.
By the way, it's going to be fine, you go buy something to eat and come back, and by the way, see if you can buy chickens and ducks or something......"
Jian Zhizhi swallowed back the words when he saw the notes in the account book in front of him.
I saw that it read:
Aunt Zhang of Qingping Lane bought 10 liters of rice on August 19 and recorded 80 yuan.
Jian Zhizhi stood in front of the counter and looked at the three words of Qingping Lane silently thoughtfully.
If she remembers correctly, the first bird Zhang Tong's house is at No. 6 Qingping Lane.
Zhang Tong's list is:
Fifty pounds of rice, thirty pieces of corn, twenty pounds of pork, and one chicken.
There are only two people in his family, and the amount of food needed on the list is not much, which seems to be quite reasonable.
In other words, she has now come to Zhang Tongjin's 'shop'?
But judging from the situation in her shop, there is rice, and there is no place to buy it.
Looking at the price on the account book, it is ten liters and eighty yuan, and it is calculated to be eight yuan for one liter of rice.
One liter is about one and a half pounds when converted.
With the previous price of one or two silver as the base, Jian Zhizhi felt that this price was not expensive, not to mention, it was like an ordinary price.
It can also be seen from this that there should not be a famine in this place.
In this case, why did Zhang Tong place an order?
He just bought it from the shop.
Song Lin saw that Jian Zhizhi's expression was faint and asked him to buy breakfast, but it seemed that his previous reaction was a bit of a fuss.
Perhaps, it's just that he didn't wake up and read it wrong.
Song Lin: "Then I'll go to the vegetable market to have a look,"
Jian Zhizhi heard his voice, and asked casually:
"By the way, which one is this No. 6 Qingping Lane?"
Song Lin reflexively spoke: "Isn't No. 6 just us?" ”
Jian Zhizhi turned his head abruptly and looked at Song Lin with some astonishment.
