report!The farm kidnapped me

Chapter 19 Qingping Lane

The man called again, his voice more urgent than before.

Jian Zhizhi saw that there was only half an acre of land left that had not been watered, so a goddess came to scatter flowers.

Jian Zhizhi came out of the backyard and saw that the originally dark shop was brightly lit, and the door was opened at some point.

There was also a young man in gray clothes, who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen, wandering around restlessly.

Seeing Jian Zhizhi coming out, the boy breathed a sigh of relief, strode forward and said to her with lingering fear:
"Shopkeeper, you've finally come out. I thought something happened to you."

What could happen at home?

Or something happened?

Jian Zhizhi was puzzled. This guy was a bit strange. She was sure that she had never seen him before, but he seemed to know her.

Before she could answer, the other party asked eagerly:

"Why did you come out so late? Did you see..."

Before he finished speaking, a trace of panic flashed across the man's face, as if he had thought of something terrible.

Even when asked, he deliberately lowered his voice:

"Shopkeeper, did you see anything weird last night?"

As he spoke, the man's voice became much weaker.

Jian Zhizhi looked at the boy in front of him suspiciously, a little confused.

Before entering the backyard last night, she carefully closed the door, just to avoid someone sneaking in while she wasn't prepared.

Now, how did this person get in?
What's more important is that when this person saw her coming out, he wasn't afraid at all, and he confidently asked her questions.

Just when Jian Zhizhi was about to ask, he glanced outside the shop from the corner of his eye.

The building outside the shop is different from the closed shop I saw yesterday. It has become a wall paved with blue bricks.

It was as if one night passed and her shop suddenly changed into another place.

Jian Zhizhi swallowed the question "Why are you in my shop" on her lips, and instead followed the words of the man in front of her and asked:

"What strange thing?"

She had been busy in the backyard without much rest, and the night passed suddenly, and she was confused.

Until he heard his voice, Jian Zhizhi was sure that he didn't see anything strange.

But if the shop had moved to another location, then this one last night...

It remains to be discussed.

Seriously, after she got the order, she encountered something strange.

It's indeed a bit strange for those people who just disappear after leaving the list.

Jian Zhizhi looked at the man in front of her. He called himself the shopkeeper and asked her if she saw anything strange last night. It was very possible that he was in this shop last night.

No matter what, this was the first person she saw, and Jian Zhizhi also wanted to test him out.

Jian Zhizhi: "What did you see last night?"

Song Lin frowned, as if he didn't know whether to say something or not. There was hesitation and difficulty in speaking on his face.

For a long time, Song Lin's voice was filled with despair, "Didn't you see it?"

Jian Zhizhi was silent for a moment. Seeing that his face seemed to be frightened by something, he softened his voice and said comfortingly:

"Tell me what you saw? Maybe I saw it too?"

The expression on Song Lin's face really improved a lot, and he was willing to talk:

“That’s right, it’s that kind of thing!
I got up last night and saw someone walking around in our shop. When I chased him away, I found that my hand had passed through his body! "

"Shopkeeper, my hand went right through it!"

When he said this, panic flashed across Song Lin's face, and he raised his half-open right hand to show Jian Zhizhi.

"This way, I passed through without any hindrance."

Jian Zhizhi:? ? ?
Are you sure it's not because you haven't woken up yet and you're confused?
Song Lin calmed down for a while before continuing:

"Then he suddenly appeared at the counter again, fiddling with his abacus. He also threatened me with anything if I didn't give him food. Then I blinked and he was gone."

Jian Zhizhi was silent, feeling that this guy was probably not awake at the time, or was dreaming.

After Song Lin finished talking about his experience last night, he breathed out a sigh of relief, and added before Jian Zhizhi could say anything:
"By the way, he also said that we should compensate him for occupying his shop."

Jian Zhizhi looked visibly stunned when he heard this. Did he occupy his shop?

Jian Zhizhi now took an honest look at the situation in the shop. The shop was filled with familiar rice.

Seeing the rice, Jian Zhizhi was also stunned for a moment.

When she went into the backyard yesterday, there was nothing in the shop.

Jian Zhizhi quickly looked away and looked elsewhere.Apart from rice, there is no other food in the shop. This is probably just a rice shop.

The shop is not big, and is similar in size to the shop he saw yesterday. Jian Zhizhi took a quick look and saw the whole thing.

There was a counter at the door, with an abacus and some account books on it.

There are also sacks stacked together in the right corner of the shop. The sacks are bulging, and they should also contain rice.

The difference from yesterday's shop was that in addition to the backyard where she came out, this shop also had a small door, which might be where the person in front of her rested.

Jian Zhizhi asked: "Where did you see that person last night?"

From the few sporadic words spoken by this man, Jian Zhizhi could probably guess that this man should be a clerk in the shop.

That's why his words "in our shop" came out of his mouth without thinking.

Song Lin: "It's right next to the rice, behind the counter where you sit."

This……

Where is she sitting?
When you hear it like this, why does it feel a bit permeating?
Jian Zhizhi glanced at the position behind the counter, hesitation flashed in his eyes, there couldn't be a real ghost.

Song Lin looked at Jian Zhizhi hesitantly and said doubtfully:

"Shopkeeper, do you think we encountered something dirty?"

Jian Zhizhi walked towards the counter and asked as he walked:

"Are there many things in the shop?"

Song Lin shook his head and only spoke when he realized that Jian Zhizhi had his back turned to him and couldn't see him:

"There are quite a lot of things, but..."

Song Lin didn't know how to explain it. This kind of thing was indeed a bit unbelievable.
He couldn't sleep last night. After that, he held his breath for most of the night and didn't hear any movement. At dawn, he sneaked out to take a look.

The shop was in good condition, as if not a grain of rice was missing.

It was also when he saw that Jian Zhizhi hadn't come out even after dawn that he panicked and shouted several times toward the backyard.

Jian Zhizhi is not a lazy person. She usually sits at her seat on time whenever the door opens for business:

Wait for people to come to buy rice, pay for them, and record the situation.

Not only did I not sit in her seat today, I didn't even come out to have breakfast.

Thinking about what he encountered last night, isn't it scary?

Jian Zhizhi: “As long as there are no shortage of things, it will be done.

By the way, there’s nothing to do now. You go buy some food and come back, and see if you can buy chicken, duck, etc…”

Jian Zhizhi swallowed back what he said when he saw the notes on the account book in front of him.

I saw that it said:

Aunt Zhang from Qingping Lane bought ten liters of rice on August [-]th and received eighty Wen in her account.

Jian Zhizhi stood in front of the counter, silently looking at the words Qingping Lane thoughtfully.

If she remembered correctly, Zhang Tong's family was at No. [-] Qingping Lane.

Zhang Tong’s list is:

Fifty pounds of rice, thirty corns, 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 large, which seems reasonable.

In other words, she has now arrived at Zhang Tongjin's 'shop'?
But judging from the current situation in her shop, there is plenty of rice, so there is no need to worry about having nowhere to buy it.

Looking at the price in the account book, it is eighty cents for ten liters, which works out to eight cents for one liter of rice.

One liter is equivalent to about one and a half kilograms.

Since the previous price of one tael of silver was the lowest, Jian Zhizhi felt that the price was not expensive, just like the normal price.

It can also be seen from this that this place should not have encountered a famine.

In this case, why did Zhang Tong place an order?
He just buys it directly from the store.

Song Lin saw Jian Zhizhi calmly asking him to buy breakfast, but it seemed that his previous reaction was a bit of a fuss.

Maybe, it was really just that he didn't wake up and saw it wrong.

Song Lin: "Then I'll go to the vegetable market and have a look."

Jian Zhizhi heard his voice and asked casually:
"By the way, which one is No. [-], Qingping Lane?"

Song Lin spoke reflexively: "Isn't No. [-] ours?"

Jian Zhizhi turned around suddenly and looked at Song Lin with some surprise.
