Chapter 54

"Let's go to the Tianshui shop and ask?" Qin Shuyu said, a shop can't disappear overnight.

"Okay." Mu Xuefei looked at the disappearing Suiyuan Bookstore and all kinds of strange conjectures emerged in her mind.

"What would you like to drink, three guests? Please, we have aloe perfume, lychee cream water, bitter water, white water, river tea water, bayberry thirsty water, fragrant sugar thirsty water, papaya thirsty water, five-flavor thirsty water, snow bubble shrink Skin drink, apricot crisp drink, basil drink, fenugreek drink, plum blossom wine, soapy water, hawthorn juice, pear juice, stewed plum water, ginger honey water, mung bean water, coconut water, sugarcane juice, papaya juice, Wuling Dashun Powder, Lactose Zhenxue, Kumquat Ball, Sweet Bean Soup" The store staff warmly greeted Qin Shuyu, Mu Xuefei, and Qin Lan who had just entered the store.

The three who just wanted to enter the store to clear up their doubts were greeted with enthusiastic salespeople as soon as they stepped into the store. They were led by the staff to sit on the seats.

"Xuefei, Lan'er, what do you want to drink?" Qin Shuyu asked unnaturally.

"I want a bowl of sweet bean soup! How about you, Lan'er?" Mu Xuefei looked at Qin Shuyu's sideways look with a bit of a smile.

"Then I want mung bean water." Qin Lan replied.

"Man, then I want sweet bean soup, mung bean water, and river tea." Qin Shuyu said after regaining his composure.

"Okay, sweet bean soup, mung bean water, and river tea will be here soon." The waiter smiled and retreated.

"Three, please take your time." The buddy set up three bowls of drinks and was ready to leave.

"Wait a minute, buddy." Seeing that the buddy was about to leave, Qin Shuyu hurriedly said.

"I wonder if the guest has any other orders?" The waiter looked at Qin Shuyu suspiciously.

"I want to ask a question." Qin Shuyu took out ten coins and handed it to the clerk.

"Ask me if you have anything." The man put away the copper coins and promised while patting his chest with a smile.

"Is your sweet water shop here all the time?" Qin Shuyu asked.

"That's right, the shop has been open for more than ten years, and my Tianshui shop is one of the best in Yangcheng!" The clerk said proudly.

"I didn't see the shop when I passed by yesterday, did you open the shop yesterday?" Qin Shuyu continued to ask.

"It's open! Maybe you didn't look at it carefully yesterday!" the man guessed.

"Thank you." Qin Shuyu thanked him, thinking that he would go to the shop next door to verify later.

"Drink it well!" Qin Lan exclaimed while drinking mung bean water.

"My sweet bean soup is also delicious, sweet but not bitter." Mu Xuefei didn't expect that the ancient drinks were not inferior to the modern ones.

"Did you two hear my conversation with the buddy just now?" Qin Shuyu looked at the two who were only drinking sweet water and asked.

After hearing this, Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan put down their spoons and looked at Qin Shuyu in confusion.

"The buddy said that this shop has been here all the time, and it was open yesterday. Let's go next door and ask about it later?" Qin Shuyu looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression and helplessly repeated the conversation with the buddy.

"Brother, I listen to you." Qin Lan is already happy as long as he can go out to play, and it doesn't matter where he goes.

"Shu Yu, it's up to you to decide." Mu Xuefei also didn't have any objections, but she was a little excited, curious and a little creepy to hear that Tianshui shop had been here.

"Brother, hurry up and see if your river tea tastes good?" Qin Lan urged Qin Shuyu.

"Well, it's okay." Qin Shuyu took a sip from the spoon under Qin Lan's urging eyes and said.

"Sister-in-law, let's drink other sugar water next time!" Qin Lan heard that even her brother said it was delicious, and looked at Mu Xuefei expectantly.

A trace of doubt and helplessness flashed in Qin Shuyu's eyes when he heard Qin Lan say this.

"Okay." Mu Xuefei really couldn't refuse Qin Lan, looked at her pitifully, and agreed.

"Yeah! Sister-in-law is so nice." Qin Lan said with a beaming smile.

"Lan'er is also very cute." Mu Xuefei looked at Qin Lan's cute and pretty appearance, and when she thought of the first time she met Qin Lan, an impulse to grow up lingered in her heart.

Qin Shuyu, who bowed his head and drank sugar water, listened to the compliments between his aunts and sisters-in-law, and felt a faint warmth in his heart.

"Are you ready?" Qin Shuyu wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief after drinking the sugar water, and beckoned the waiter to pay the bill.

"Okay." Qin Lan said.

"En." Mu Xuefei nodded in response.

"Hi three, a total of [-] Wen." The man said with a smile.

"Wait a moment." Qin Shuyu took out a money bag from his sleeve, counted the copper coins, and handed them to the clerk.

"Thirty coins is just right, three of you are welcome to come back next time." The man took the copper coins and counted them and said.

Qin Shuyu nodded and said to Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan, "Let's go."

After the three of them walked out of the Tianshui shop, they looked at the two adjacent shops. Qin Shuyu said, "I'll go to the grocery store on the right and ask, Xuefei, can you go to the clothing store on the left? We'll meet here later." and."

"Okay, then I'll go with Lan'er." Mu Xuefei said while pulling Qin Lan's sleeve.

"Okay." Qin Shuyu looked at the backs of Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan and turned to go to the grocery store.

"Shu Yu, how did you go?" Mu Xuefei asked Qin Shuyu, who was approaching.

"It's the same as what the previous buddy said, and I've never heard of Suiyuan Bookstore." Qin Shuyu shook his head and said.

"Lan'er and I are also here." Mu Xuefei shrugged and said helplessly.

"But we obviously went yesterday." Qin Lan asked doubtfully.

"Xuefei, do you still remember that old man said 'he has been in this store all the time'." Qin Shuyu suddenly remembered the old man's conversation in Suiyuan Bookstore yesterday.

"That's right! But we met him in Yangcheng and the previous town." Mu Xuefei said with a frown.

"Brother and sister-in-law...you think we...wouldn't meet...ghosts, right?" Qin Lan suddenly felt a gust of cool wind blowing, pulled Mu Xuefei and said tremblingly.

"Lan'er, you're overthinking." Mu Xuefei was held tightly by Qin Lan's arm, and looked at Qin Lan's frightened expression, comforting her with a little amusement.

"Sister-in-law, the more I think about it, the more frightened I become." Qin Lan felt her white hairs sweating.

"Lan'er, don't be afraid." Although Qin Shuyu also had some guesses in his heart, he was not to the point of being afraid, so he comforted Qin Lan when he saw Qin Lan's frightened appearance.

"Brother, sister-in-law... I'm not afraid anymore." Qin Lan said, still holding Mu Xuefei tightly.

"Okay, let's go shopping first." Mu Xuefei diverted Qin Lan's attention.

"Okay." Qin Shuyu cooperated.

"Brother and sister-in-law, let's go." Qin Lan immediately let go of Mu Xuefei's arm and pulled her sleeve instead.

"Okay." Mu Xuefei looked at Qin Lan and said with a smile that she was afraid just now.

"Sister-in-law, where are we going?" Qin Lan asked as she watched Mu Xuefei walking ahead.

"I don't know, let's go shopping as you go." Mu Xuefei really didn't know Yangcheng herself.

"Oh! It would be great if Brother Mu was here." Qin Lan murmured cautiously after hearing this.

"Lan'er, what did you just say?" Mu Xuefei asked.

"Sister-in-law, you heard wrong, I didn't say anything." Qin Lan denied it with some embarrassment.

"Oh, maybe I heard it wrong." Mu Xuefei looked at Qin Lan's denial of Sanlian and did not expose her.

"Walking on the street is so boring." After walking for about half an hour, Mu Xuefei looked at the same streets, buildings, and shops around her and couldn't arouse any interest.

"Yeah!" Qin Lan also sighed, the same scenery will lose interest after a long time.

"Then why don't we go back?" Qin Shuyu looked at the two people who couldn't cheer up and asked.

"No..." Qin Lan shook her head and refused.

"No." Mu Xuefei would rather hang out on the street than go back home.

"..." Qin Shuyu looked at the two of them speechlessly, and said that the boring thing was that they were the ones who didn't want to leave.

"Cousin, sister Lan'er, sister-in-law, what a coincidence! Why are you here?" Mu Han, who was walking towards him, saw the three greeting each other happily.

"Cousin." Mu Xuefei greeted with some surprise.

"Brother Mu." Qin Lan replied happily.

"Brother Mu." Qin Shuyu said indifferently when he saw Qin Lan's happy expression.

"Cousin, let's go shopping, aren't you going to meet up with friends today? Why are you here?" Mu Xuefei saw that Qin Lan and Qin Shuyu had no intention of exchanging pleasantries, so she could only speak by herself.

"They weren't at home, so I had no choice but to go home by myself. I didn't expect to meet you on the road. Let me go shopping with you." Mu Han said happily.

"Okay!" Mu Xuefei replied cheerfully, it was obviously more interesting to go shopping with Mu Han.

"Where are you going just now?" Mu Han asked.

"We were wandering around without purpose." Mu Xuefei replied.

"Brother Mu, do you remember the Suiyuan bookstore we went to yesterday?" Qin Shuyu couldn't help but said as he watched the two chatting more and more vigorously.

"Of course I remember, why did my sister-in-law suddenly mention this?" Mu Han asked with some doubts.

"We planned to go to the Suiyuan Bookstore today, but we couldn't find it," Qin Shuyu said.

"Sister-in-law, you have forgotten the way, let's go, I will take you there." Mu Han suddenly realized.

"It's not that we can't find the way, but that it disappeared." Qin Shuyu explained.

"How is it possible?" Mu Han didn't expect Qin Shuyu to joke with himself.

"Cousin, it's absolutely true." Mu Xuefei said.

"It's true, Brother Mu." Qin Lan said.

"I see, you guys teamed up to lie to me, right?" Seeing the seriousness of what the three said, Mu Han almost couldn't help but believe it.

"Brother Mu, if you don't believe me, can we go and have a look now?" Qin Shuyu asked looking at Mu Han's disbelief.

"Yes!" Mu Xuefei echoed, unexpectedly Mu Han thought they were joking.

"Brother Mu, what we said is true." Qin Lan explained.

"Then let's go there now." Mu Han still couldn't believe it.

Under the leadership of Mu Han, the four took a shortcut and returned to the previous Tangshui shop.

"Hey! How did it become a sweet water shop? It's just across from Xinghua Hall." Mu Han looked around and said a little strangely.

"Brother Mu, do you now believe what we said before?" Qin Shuyu looked at the puzzled expression on Mu Han's face and asked.

"Cousin, we also asked about the shops next to Tianshui shop. Their shop has been open for more than ten years, and it was still open yesterday." Mu Xuefei said.

"But we went to Suiyuan Bookstore yesterday." Mu Han said strangely.

"We can't figure it out either. Brother Mu, do you still remember the old man saying 'he's been in this store all the time'?" Qin Shuyu asked.

"It seems to have said, where did we go yesterday? Did the random bookstore that we went to in the small town before also disappear?" Mu Han guessed.

"I have an idea." Mu Xuefei said.

"Xuefei, tell me." Qin Shuyu looked at Mu Xuefei and said.

"Cousin, tell me quickly." Mu Han stared at Mu Xuefei closely.

"Sister-in-law." Qin Lan also looked at Mu Xuefei.

"This is just my guess. You can just listen to it. Do you think it is possible that the Suiyuan Bookstore in the town and Yangcheng are the same store. We may have entered the Suyuan Bookstore in the town yesterday for unknown reasons. That's why the old man said that he has been in this store all the time, but we have to check it when we go back to confirm." Mu Xuefei looked at the three pairs of bright eyes staring at herself and thought for a while.

"This seems to be understandable, but what if there is no Suiyuan bookstore in the town? How did we get in?" Qin Shuyu asked.

"I feel trapped in a fog, and why did that old man give you the jade pendant?" Mu Han said curiously and excitedly.

"Yeah, brother, why don't you throw away the jade pendant! What if it has any bad influence!" Qin Lan looked at Qin Shuyu with some concern.

"Lan'er, don't worry, I will put the jade pendant away." Qin Shuyu comforted.

"You said that we were able to enter Suiyuan Bookstore because of my sister-in-law? That's why the old man insisted on giving you the jade pendant." Mu Han guessed.

"It's possible." Mu Xuefei knew that Mu Han's guess was right.

"Maybe the old man wants to ask my sister-in-law to do something? That's why they set up this situation, but why didn't they do it more seamlessly? It's also possible that they deliberately let us find out." Mu Han speculated wildly.

"Cousin, what you said makes sense." Mu Xuefei slandered, if she didn't know some truths, maybe she would think the same way.

"I think so too." Mu Han said triumphantly, thanks to the scripts he had read over the years.

"This matter won't be resolved for a while, why don't we continue shopping?" Mu Han suggested.

"Okay, but where are we going, cousin? I just wandered all the way, and I don't think there is anything interesting." Mu Xuefei asked with interest.

"Since you visited that street just now, why don't we go to a teahouse to listen to an opera or go to a bookstore? I know a bookstore that sells vernacular books, and the vernacular books in it are very good-looking." Mu Han looked at Mu Xuefei and Qin Lan's eyes. Focusing on himself, he thought for a while and said.

"I can do it." Qin Lan said.

"Me too, how about Shu Yu?" Mu Xuefei asked.

"Then go." Qin Shuyu saw that Qin Lan and Mu Xuefei didn't object, so he knew they wanted to go.

"I didn't expect you to be fellows!" Mu Han acted as if he had met a confidant.

"Cousin, are you far away?" Mu Xuefei asked.
