i have a shop in the end

Bai Qingxian took off the flat glasses that he had been wearing all day, and after washing up and changing into pajamas, the information that Mr. Chen said had been uploaded to his mobile phone. It was organized neatly in documents, tables and even data charts, which seemed clear at a glance.

According to the information obtained by that Mr. Chen, including the incident of a "madman" attacking passers-by in the next street today, there have been twelve similar incidents within a week, and Mr. Chen traced the source of the first case of a "madman" In the incident, the person who was finally arrested was definitely not a lunatic, but a botanist who was on the news because of the discovery of a new plant species not long ago.

Some information may not be accessible to Mr. Chen, but he seems to know from some sources that the botanist's family and even the relatives and friends he has contacted have been centralized and controlled for unknown reasons.

At the same time, Mr. Chen also mentioned the stems and leaves of different plants that appeared on those "lunatics". Although those things were still small, they were not so small that they could not be seen. Similar features kept appearing on those "crazy men". It is only natural that he would attract attention so quickly on the "lunatic".

"The strangeness that appears is related to plants."

"There may still be transmission among people who have been in contact."

"The whereabouts of all the 'lunatics' are missing after being captured. This matter should have attracted the attention of all parties."

"But a solution should be found soon."

By the way, Bai Qingxian read some notes written by Mr. Chen at the end of the document. Unfortunately, he is not as optimistic about the future of these events as Mr. Chen.No matter how small and controllable the impact of those plants seems, Bai Qingxian believes that this may only be the beginning.

With the help of these materials, Bai Qingxian also made a preliminary inference about the strangeness that appeared in this world.

He felt that the culprit of all this should be "plants", and some unknown plants that had never appeared in this world.These plants may come from some mysterious corners of the world, or they may simply be invasive species from other worlds like in the movies. These plants should harbor malice towards humans.

So far, Bai Qingxian has only seen two kinds of invasive plants, one of which is sleeping on the sofa in his bedroom at the moment, this kind of plant seems to be able to change itself into a human form, and from that little guy Judging from the situation where Bai Qingxian was biting desperately with her right hand, she was not friendly to humans either.

The other is the green seedling that Bai Qingxian took from the young man Wen Yu's shoulder. It should be a parasitic plant, which achieves a certain purpose by parasitic roots on human beings.

If Bai Qingxian's guess is correct, the twelve "crazy" incidents that occurred in this week should be caused by that kind of parasitic plants. They parasitize humans and may even control their bodies.

Bai Qingxian will never forget that the plants he sees now are just tiny sprouts.

What will they look like when they grow up...?

The moonlight reflected on Bai Qingxian's bed through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Although he didn't feel sleepy, he finally closed his eyes and began to rest.

Like all ordinary humans who are going to sleep, he has no idea what will happen when the sun rises tomorrow.

……

Qin Shang, the new clerk of "Xiao Xian Yi Station", is still a student of Z University, so on Monday morning, Bai Qingxian was alone in the shop, and the little guy who had been sleeping after being fed before was still in the second floor. in the room.

The little guy with sprouts on his head may have woken up halfway, because when Bai Qingxian got up early in the morning, he found that the sofa was empty. In the big unused flower pot in the corner of the room!

The spare porcelain pot for the "Fortune Tree" is large in size, and the little guy is so small that he can just curl up into the flower pot. When the little guy fell asleep, the seedling on her head was also very comfortable. Shaking slightly, it seems that he likes the place he found.

For a while, Bai Qingxian didn't bother.

"Ding--"

The porcelain wind chime hanging next to the store door rang, and Bai Qingxian, who was sitting behind the counter, looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes and a young and beautiful girl in a long skirt opened the store door and walked in.

"Excuse me, is the boss here?" The middle-aged man who looked very imposing asked aloud as soon as he came in, and Bai Qingxian felt a little familiar between his brows.

After getting up from behind the counter, Bai Qingxian saw an expensive luxury car parked on the side of the road outside the store at a glance. Coupled with the postures these two people posed after entering the door, he could be sure that the other party was not Came to "Xiaoxian Station" to buy drinks.

"I am." Bai Qingxian has not been in this world for a long time, but it is certain that he and the other party are meeting for the first time.

"You are the boss?" The middle-aged man looked at Bai Qingxian in surprise, his gaze gave Bai Qingxian a strange sense of scrutiny.

Bai Qingxian could only show a formulaic smile.

On the contrary, the girl who had been following the middle-aged man, although she was also staring at Bai Qingxian, her eyes were much more familiar, no different from those who kept their eyes on Bai Qingxian's appearance.

"I'm Qin Shang's father." The middle-aged man didn't meander when he opened his mouth. "It's impolite to come here suddenly, but I heard that the kid worked in this store recently."

If Bai Qingxian remembered correctly, his newly hired clerk had said before that he had become independent from his family, but the independence Qin Shang talked about seemed more like an embarrassment with his family and he ran away from home in Bai Qingxian's view.

"I hope you can dismiss Qin Shang." Qin Shang's father said directly, the words seemed to be asking, but the tone could not be refused, "As parents, we really don't want this child to spend extra time in the grocery store temporary work."

"Mr. Qin, I'm just a grocery store owner." Bai Qingxian was also a little helpless, "Although what you said makes sense, it's better to say these words directly to Qin Shang."

Qin Shang's father seemed to have an embarrassing look on his face, and then skipped Bai Qingxian's proposal and continued: "I will tell him, but I also hope that when you fire that child, the boss, you can tell that the parents will do it for him. Any arrangements made are for his own good, and when he matures, he will understand that he shouldn't hate us so much."

When Bai Qingxian was thinking about what he should say, he saw the slender girl in a long skirt coming forward, and said softly to Qin Shang's father, "Uncle Qin, why don't I go and talk to Qin Shang?" Shall we talk?"

"No, if he knows that you told me about this place, it will affect your relationship. Hey, in the future he will understand that nothing is more important than the future we arranged for him." Qin Shang's father said, and turned to Bai Qingxian Nodded, "Sorry for the sudden interruption."

The tone of this Mr. Qin sounded very polite, but there was absolutely no room for Bai Qingxian to refuse, and he politely left after speaking "brutally".

"Excuse me." The beautiful girl in a long skirt said with a smile, "Thank you boss for taking care of Qin Shang."

Although gentle and polite, this beautiful girl should not be from Qin Shang's family, but her tone seemed to be very close to Qin Shang's.

Is there nothing more important than an arranged future?

Bai Qingxian looked at the backs of the two people who turned and left, not only smiling, but also savoring what Mr. Qin said just now.

"If the end of the world really comes on a certain day, what will be the most important thing then?" Bai Qingxian looked at the sunlight that just appeared on the glass window, and murmured softly, "I hope this day will come as slowly as possible. "

……

Outside the shop of "Xiaoxian Station", Qin Shang's father stood beside the car, looking thoughtfully at the two-story grocery store that did not match the style of the entire commercial street.

"Uncle Qin?" the girl next to him called softly.

"I arranged for Qin Shang to get in touch with the family business as soon as his brother did, and I arranged for him to marry you. These are the best arrangements for Qin Shang, but he thinks freedom is more important than these?"

Speaking of this, Mr. Qin's original polite attitude suddenly disappeared, and his expression sank when he saw the "Xiaoxian Station" in front of him: "I thought that the so-called freedom of Qin Shang would be so great, but I didn't expect it to be such a small family. grocery store."

"Uncle Qin, don't worry, Qin Shang will definitely figure it out." The girl smiled gently.

"He will definitely understand." Qin Shang's father turned around and showed a fleeting sneer, "He is my son, so he must be very clear about which one to choose between the Qin family and this simple grocery store..."

"Boom—"

Before that Mr. Qin could finish his words, a melodious and far-reaching ancient bell sounded in his ears in an instant. The bell was full-bodied but ethereal, making Mr. Qin subconsciously turn his head and look at the "Xiaoxian Station" behind him.

For a moment, Mr. Qin saw an almost transparent vast phantom appearing above the simple two-story building, with pavilions, towers and pavilions, carved with jue, towering into the sky!

But when Mr. Qin fixed his eyes in disbelief, the phantom just now had disappeared without a trace, as if everything was just an illusion created by him standing in the sun, and he couldn't even explain why he saw that hallucinations.

"Uncle Qin, what's the matter?" The girl beside her looked concerned.

"It's nothing, I always feel that I saw something strange." Qin Shang's father shook his head, and after the driver opened the door, he took the girl beside him and sat in. "Let's go back and wait for news from Qin Shang."

What Mr. Qin didn't know was that shortly after their car left the commercial street, Bai Qingxian stood at the door of the store and patted the wall beside him helplessly——

"Are you mad because it's called a 'shallow grocery store'?"

"Keep it low-key, I don't want this store to be trending news earlier than the end of the world."
