Christmas

"Really? That might be because I've heard something wrong, so let's get on with the business."

The pawnshop owner smiled, refilled the teacup with new tea, held it in his hand and looked at Shi Xie.

"Guest, did you want to exchange poverty for wealth just now?"

"Yes, it is."

Shi Xie swallowed, and responded obediently.

The pawnshop owner nodded, and kept stroking the white porcelain teacup with his slender, white fingers. His eyelids were drooping, as if he was thinking about something.

What.

The air fell into silence again, Shi Xie lowered his head and did not take the initiative to make a sound, but he was constantly thinking about how to get out of here.

There is still about half an hour before Xia Yao's Invisibility Pill expires, and they don't have much time left.

The pawnshop owner didn't take the initiative to speak, so Shi Xie could only keep silent.

Xia Yao, who was standing on one side, could only suppress the anxiety in his heart and wait in silence.

The oil lamp suddenly burst into sparks, and the pawnbroker paused as he rubbed his finger on the teacup, and the clear tea water suddenly rippled in circles.

"Guest, your suggestion is actually not impossible. After all, your poverty has followed you for a long time, and it is indeed your most important thing. It's just..."

The pawnshop owner paused suddenly when he was speaking, and when he raised his head to look at Shi Xie again, there was no smile on his face, his eyes were probing. "It's just you, the customer. Shouldn't you pay a little more to add something? After all, my shop is only a small business. I have lost money by exchanging your poverty for wealth."

The pawnshop owner analyzed it solemnly, and Shi Xie couldn't refute it with sufficient reasons.

Pursing his lips, Shi Xie pinched his fingers a little awkwardly, and asked cautiously.

"Then... what should I use as a topping?"

"Hehe, you don't have to be afraid, guest, it's just an unimportant thing, and you will never suffer."

The pawnshop owner put on a decent smile again, and his voice comforted Shi Xie softly.

"What is that... I... I don't have anything valuable on me."

"Our pawnshop doesn't accept worldly things. Customer, I will give you a suggestion. You can use a little bit of your happiness as a gift. Many customers come and use this as an exchange."

"happiness……,,

"Yes, you don't need all your happiness in this life, just a small part of your happiness, so that you can get everything you want."

It is undeniable that the young pawnshop owner is a successful businessman, he is very good at grasping the hearts of customers, and constantly offering various discounts.It seems that the customer has taken advantage of it, but in fact, the pawnshop owner is still in control of the overall situation in this transaction.

Shi Xie thought about it for a while with a tangled expression, but couldn't help but nodded.

"I promise, but I don't have much happiness."

The pawnshop owner smiled, suddenly stretched his long legs and stood up from behind the table, walking gracefully towards Shi Xiehuan

talking.

"Guest, don't worry, I will leave it to you next time. When you wake up, you will no longer have to wander in the cold wind and pick up food in the trash can. You will live in a big warm house and wear warm clothes." Clothes, eat delicious food, have everything you want, sleep peacefully..."

While speaking softly, the deep and gentle voice was like whispers between sympathizers, the pawnshop owner stretched out his hand and slowly covered Shi Xie's eyes, only to see a soft white light suddenly glowing from his hand.

Shi Xie only felt that as soon as his body softened, his consciousness began to slacken.

Shi Xie was startled, and slowly circulated the psionic energy in his body to resist this breath, but he didn't know what kind of mana the pawnbroker was using, and the psionic energy in Shi Xie's body didn't respond at all.

Consciousness slowly began to dissipate, and Shi Xie's eyelids were heavy as if filled with cement, and kept drooping.

Looking at Shi Xie's appearance, Xia Yao turned around in a hurry, but he didn't dare to get close to Shi Xie easily. There was a faint fragrance on his body, and if he got too close, he was afraid that he would be heard by the pawnbroker.

Watching Shi Xie's eyelids slowly close after a long distance, Xia Yao was anxious but helpless. He couldn't even call out to Shi Xie, so he could only walk back and forth anxiously.

Shi Xie's consciousness became more and more blurred until he gradually fell into the darkness completely. When he loosened his clenched fist, Shi Xie's head tilted to one side, and he completely lost consciousness.

Seeing that he had fallen asleep, the pawnshop owner moved his palm covering Shi Xie's eyes towards the center of his brow, and saw the white light on his hand flicker a few times again, a gray light ball the size of a thumb slowly The ground flew out of Shi Xie's eyebrows.

The pawnshop proprietor raised his palm upwards, and the gray ball of light slowly floated to the center of his palm. The pawnshop proprietor waved his other hand, and two delicate and transparent colored glass vials appeared in his palm.

The pawnshop owner opened one of the bottles, put the gray ball of light into one of them, and then casually placed the bottle on the table.

Then he pointed the palm of his hand at the intern's eyebrow, and the same white light flashed on the palm, and a pale yellow light cluster slowly floated out from between Shi Xie's eyebrow.

This light cluster is a little smaller than the gray light cluster just now, about the size of the abdomen of an index finger, but compared with the gray light cluster just now, this light cluster exudes a soft aura, which makes people unable to bear it. I feel happy and comfortable to live.

Seeing this ball of light, the pawnbroker slowly showed a sincere smile on his face, carefully put the ball of light into the glass bottle in his hand, closed the lid, and held it in his hand to observe, his eyes were full of joy. It's a lie.

After seeing enough, the pawnshop owner turned around and took a small strip of red paper and a writing brush from the desk, and wrote a few strokes on the note. He told the writing brush to be put away, and waved it casually.

I saw the red paper and the glass bottle filled with gray light flying up together, at the same time a small grid in the row of wooden cabinets suddenly opened, the glass bottle flew in lightly, and the small grid slowly closed again , the red paper was automatically pasted on the small grid, the red light flashed, and it was vaguely invisible.

Xia Yao clenched his fists and looked anxiously at Shi Xie who didn't know what was going on. He didn't know what the pawnbroker took out from his eyebrows just now, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt cold.

Xia Yao clenched his fists, and was about to rush over to bring Shi Xie here, regardless of whether he would be discovered by the pawnshop owner!

But at this moment, the pawn shop owner suddenly made a sound, looking at Shi Xiezheng muttering to himself.

"I didn't expect your happiness to be so pure. After all, the poorer you are, the more you value peace and joy... Forget it, you have helped me. I will send the Buddha to the west, and I will send you together." Just send it back..."

As soon as the pawnshop owner's words fell, Xia Yao's heart skipped a beat, and saw that the pawnshop owner's hands had already been raised, and he ran towards Shi Xie with big strides, ignoring the danger of being discovered. The moment the pawnshop owner cast the spell, Xia Yao dangerously grabbed Shi Xie's arm, and before he could react, he and Shi Xie were sucked into a black vortex.

In an instant, only the pawnshop owner was left in the room. He suddenly withdrew his hand slowly, closed his eyes and sniffed the air lightly, then slowly opened his eyes again, thinking thoughtfully. Looking at the chair Shi Xie sat on, he suddenly laughed.

"Is there really no fragrance..."

The oil lamp on the desk suddenly crackled, and the pawnshop owner half-folded his arms and played with the glass bottle in his hand playfully, then suddenly turned and walked to the other side.

I saw him walking slowly to a cabinet, and the cabinet unfolded to both sides like water waves, revealing a dark passage.

The pawnshop owner walked in, and the scene changed suddenly. This room turned out to be a well-furnished room. It is said that the room is actually more like a cave, and the temperature here is indeed very low, even a bit cold, and the corners are even drooping. with ice.

The pawnshop owner walked straight to the center of the room as if he couldn't feel it, but what was placed there was not a bed, but a huge ice coffin.

The pawnshop owner walked towards the ice coffin slowly with light steps, and the expression on his face softened. At this time, the pawnshop owner put away all the spikes and shrewdness around him, like a ball of soft cotton.

He walked over gently, revealing the whole picture of the ice coffin, and saw that there was actually a person lying in this huge ice coffin.

This person was wearing a gorgeous purple robe, with delicate dark patterns embroidered with silver silk threads, reflecting the glint of light in the reflection of the ice coffin.

A waterfall-like long black hair was neatly combed into a bun with a white jade crown on the top of his head, revealing his full forehead and

Handsome face.

Although the man in the ice coffin has his eyes closed, he can still be seen to be a handsome man.

His skin is fair, the sky is full, the bridge of his nose is straight, a pair of thin lips are gently pursed, and the corners of his lips seem to be smiling, even when he is asleep, he seems to be wearing a faint smile.

The pawnshop owner looked obsessively at the man in the ice coffin, with nostalgia and obsession, but more of a deep sadness that was hard to conceal.

hurt.

The pawnshop owner sighed and closed his eyes gently, and opened them again after a while, let go of his clenched fists, took out the glass bottle in his hand and opened the lid.

A light yellow ball of light floated out, and slowly passed through the ice coffin and flew towards the center of the man's eyebrows, and slowly sank into it until after a flash of light, the light ball disappeared.

The face of the man in the ice coffin also looked much rosier than before, with a faint pink color, and he looked more energetic, as if he had fallen asleep.

Seeing such a scene, the pawnbroker's face showed a burst of unconcealable joy. He couldn't help but kneel and sit beside the ice coffin, regardless of the cold temperature on the ice coffin, and directly put his face on the ice coffin.

There was a delighted smile on his face, like a kid who got candy.

"Shen Lang, wait, wait a little longer, I will get you well soon. Shen Lang...

My Shen Lang..."
