Borrowing Shoufang

Be struck by lightning... After thinking about it, he still raised his hand to cover his head and rushed out.

Behind him, the carved door closed automatically.

Zhou Ziyang returned home, took a hot bath, wiped his hair and walked to the study.There was still his father's diary on the desk in the study room, and there were scattered pieces of paper beside it, with some fragmented words written on the paper, and the whole desk looked a bit messy.He went over to arrange the papers and folded them together, picked up the diary, and turned to the last one. The handwriting on it was a bit scribbled, showing that the person who wrote it must have been in a very upset mood at the time.

"It turns out that there is such a place as [Jianshoufang] in the world. If I want to find this place, I must find it!"

There is only this sentence on the last page. Zhou Ziyang knew that he should go to this [Jianshoufang] to check it out when he saw it at the time. Then he searched the Internet for a long time before he found it on a very inconspicuous post. A little clue led to today's scene.

Thinking of that strange shop today, Zhou Ziyang frowned.The things that Yao Ying said were really shocking, he couldn't believe it, but the expression of the man when he spoke and the sudden disappearance later made him feel that they were all true.Raising his hand and rubbing his temples, Zhou Ziyang irritably took out the cigarette from the cigarette box next to him, lit it, and took a deep puff. When the smell of smoke filled his entire lungs, he only let out a long breath, and he also relaxed. .Leaning on the back of the chair behind him, he sorted out today's information in his mind.

[-]. My father went to the [Jianshou Fang] and borrowed an ancient painting from Yaoying for six years of life

[-]. The father borrowed his birthday to find his long-lost wife and children

Third, the above is not sure whether it is true

[-]. What is certain is: that store is the key

Zhou Ziyang stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, thinking to himself, he had to go again.

The next day, Zhou Ziyang came to the gate of [Jianshoufang] after get off work, with a huge bag in his hand.The store was still the same as yesterday, the carved door was wide open, and there was no one in the store.He went in, looked left and right, called Yaoying and Quesheng, but no one answered, so he walked down that passage again.At the end of the walk, it was still the big empty room, and he took out his mobile phone to prepare for lighting.

"Ah, strange uncle! You are here again!"

A crisp voice came from behind, and Zhou Ziyang's hand holding the phone couldn't help shaking.He turned his head and saw that Quesheng was running towards him. He raised his head and looked at Zhou Ziyang excitedly. Are you so excited?"

But Sheng raised his head, looked at Zhou Ziyang with big bright red eyes, pulled his sleeves and said, "Yes, yes, no one has ever been able to come to the store twice, uncle, where is Tang?" The child still didn't forget what the other party promised him, and blinked his eyes in anticipation.

Zhou Ziyang only noticed the first half of Quesheng's sentence, and was wondering, but Quesheng shook his sleeve vigorously, reminding him of the snacks he brought to the child.Opening the bag in his hand, all kinds of snacks inside made Que Sheng's eyes shine brightly, he raised his head timidly, his big eyes flickered, as if asking for approval, Zhou Ziyang smiled and handed over the whole bag, Said: "It's all yours, take it, if you like it, brother will bring it to you next time."

Hearing this, he let out an excited cry, grabbed the bag and jumped a few times, then took Zhou Ziyang's hand and ran outside, saying as he ran, "Uncle, you are such a good person, I invite you to my room to play." .”

Zhou Ziyang didn't bother to correct the matter of Quesheng calling him uncle, and just happened to have some questions he wanted to ask Quesheng, so he walked along with Quesheng, but looking around the empty hall, he asked: "You guys?" Boss, isn't Yaoying here?"

"Yes, the master has been in the store all the time, he can't get out."

can not go out?Zhou Ziyang was thinking, but he saw that Quesheng led him to the upper left corner of the hall. He then noticed that there was also a door in the upper left corner, but when he opened the door, there was also a passage inside, but it was very short, and he could see the end of the passage Another carved door.Zhou Ziyang followed Quesheng in, pushed the door open, but did not see Quesheng making any unnecessary movements, the originally dark room suddenly lit up, he looked over, and saw only a small antique wooden bed in the room, a Exquisite wooden wardrobe, a round table and a few round stools, and a large screen to block the scene on the left.The light is an oil lamp on the round table, which is also covered with a gauze lamp cap, making the light appear hazy.

Quesheng brought Zhou Ziyang into the room, put the bag on the round table, called Zhou Ziyang to sit down, ran to bring out a set of tea sets, made tea very skillfully, and handed Zhou Ziyang a cup.After receiving the teacup, the high-quality ceramics gave off a sense of agility under the clear tea, and a trace of smoke drifted away with the fragrance of the tea. Zhou Ziyang closed his eyes and felt the fragrance of the tea. He didn't understand tea, but the fragrance of the tea was It made him feel comfortable. After taking a sip, the slightly hot tea filled his mouth, and a sense of freshness stimulated his senses at the same time. After swallowing the tea, his body warmed up with the temperature of the tea, and his body and mind relaxed accordingly. .He couldn't help exhaling, and sighed: "Good tea." He didn't know much about tea, so he just expressed his true feelings.

"Of course, the master gave this to me. It's very precious." Sitting opposite, he ate the food in the bag with big mouthfuls, his cheeks were bulging, and there was a piece of food crumbs around his mouth.

Zhou Ziyang wanted to ask about Yaoying, but happened to mention it on his own initiative, so he continued to ask, "Why do you call him master?"

"The master saved Quesheng's life." Quesheng liked this uncle who brought him so many snacks very much, and he answered the other party's questions without hesitation, but said while eating, What he said was a bit vague, but Zhou Ziyang who listened carefully could hear it clearly.

"Oh? Then you just said that your master can't go out, so what's the matter?"

"I don't know, the master said so, but he didn't tell me the reason."

Zhou Ziyang was puzzled, and asked again: "Then do you know when this store opened?"

"Hmm... I don't know, but the store already existed when I was born here."

"Then when did you come?"

"It's been a long time... um..." Quesheng lowered his head slightly, put down the food in one hand, and counted back and forth with his fingers. After a while, he raised his head, stretched out two fingers covered with a lot of food crumbs, and said with a smile , "200 years."

Zhou Ziyang gasped and stared at the young man who was munching on snacks with wide eyes. It was hard to believe that he had lived for 200 years.This is real?Is he a monster?And if he lived for 200 years, what about Yaoying?Is what Yaoying said true?Questions popped up in Zhou Ziyang's mind one by one, but he couldn't answer any of them.

"The honored guest is coming, and the reception is not good. Please forgive me, Mr. Zhou." The cold voice suddenly sounded in the room, which made Zhou Ziyang, who was thinking about the problem, startled and almost jumped up from the stool. He turned his head and saw the door. Standing remote shadow.With the same thin figure and expressionless delicate face, Zhou Ziyang stood up and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I came in without authorization again." I wondered why he was always elusive.

Yaoying shook his head, "I said that meeting is fate. Mr. Zhou has never entertained Yaoying well when he came to the door several times. This is my fault as the host. Mr. Zhou, please don't take offense."

"No, no." Zhou Ziyang quickly waved his hands when he saw that Yaoying was about to bow.

Yaoying didn't insist either, and turned to look at the little boy who was trying to hide the snacks behind him, and said, "Quesheng, do you remember the way I taught you how to treat guests? Is it like this?"

The slightly reproachful words shocked Quesheng's small figure. I couldn't say a word for a long time, and I was about to cry. Zhou Ziyang quickly smoothed things over: "Mr. Yaoying, don't blame him, but Quesheng is just a child. It's not surprising if you don't understand, it's mainly because I came here again and again uninvited, disturbing the business of your store."

Quesheng raised his head and gave him a grateful glance, then lowered his head under Yaoying's gaze, trying to reduce his sense of presence.

Yaoying turned back to look at Zhou Ziyang, looked at it for a while, and said: "Mr. Zhou, my store has its own rules, which cannot be broken or broken. Please forgive me for not being able to give an answer to what Mr. Zhou asked. This is not a place where a living person like Mr. Zhou should come, please don't come again in the future Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou, please."

As his words fell, the door behind him opened, and the oil lamp on the wall flickered with the wind of the door opening.Yaoying turned sideways, the intention of chasing people was obvious.

Zhou Ziyang looked at Yaoying's expressionless face with pursed lips, and said, "I just want to know the reason for my father's disappearance and his whereabouts. I hope that Mr. Yaoying can understand the eagerness of being a son of man and give me some hints." , so that I can find my father sooner and the family can be reunited."

"I have already said what should be said. There is nothing Mr. Zhou needs here."

"Mr. Yaoying is not going to help?" Zhou Ziyang frowned, bit his lips, clenched his fists, and said with an evil smile, "Isn't Mr. Yaoying afraid that I will tell the things here? Many irrelevant people come, so the tranquility here will no longer exist, is it okay?"

Yaoying stared at him fixedly, his dark eyes could not reveal any emotion, but Zhou Ziyang felt that he was completely seen through, but he still looked back at him without showing weakness.

"Mr. Zhou wants to say, please go ahead, but the situation you mentioned will never happen. It's too late, but it happened,
