I open a bookstore in the human world

Song Lan and Manager Cao walked out from the corner, while Taoist Yu was waiting there.

"The Taoist priest has been working hard these few days. If you have time, go to my bookstore. There is nothing else. Tea and snacks are still enough." Song Lan walked up to Taoist priest Yu and said enthusiastically, with a smile on his face, but The smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Thank you Song Shanren," Taoist Yu nodded slightly, and the corners of his lips curved upwards, "Then I will stop bothering you at that time."

Song Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she always felt that the Taoist priest's smile was somewhat inexplicable, and he was stunned, and the other party had already followed Manager Cao away.

Song Lan stayed where he was, with a deep thought on his face.

No matter what the origin of Taoist Yu is, maybe he should think of a way.

***

If it is not necessary, Song Lan is not willing to come to the Lazy Gold Store.In his opinion, that high-ranking ghost envoy named Xia Lan is a strange existence. Although they are considered fellow villagers, it is better to have less contact with each other until they understand each other's purpose and intentions.

At a glance, there is still no one in the store.This time Song Lan had some experience, so he intentionally made some noises at the door, and sure enough, a few seconds later, a head popped out from behind the counter.

Such a sleepy ghost is rare in the world.

"Boss Song." Seeing Song Lan, Xia Lan didn't seem to be surprised at all. She leaned against the counter with her chin in her soft and boneless hands, her eyes were lazy, "Why do you have time to visit today?"

Song Lan sat down on the soft sofa set up in the store familiarly, raised her legs, and twitched her mouth: "There is nothing in the store, come and visit."

Xia Lan took a deep look at Song Lan, and said meaningfully: "Then Boss Song is right, I don't have anything here, but it's still quiet."

Song Lan raised her eyebrows slightly: If he understood correctly, what Xia Lan meant was that here, there is no need to worry about being watched or eavesdropped.

"By the way, did Boss Song give away the gold chain he bought back last time? What does the other party think?" Xia Lan asked suddenly.

Song Lan was slightly puzzled. He didn't expect Xia Lan to remember the chain. He thought that the female ghost didn't care about anything.

"He likes it very much," Song Lan replied after thinking for a while, "The Kua pendant has a unique shape."

Reach out and don't hit the smiling person, no matter what you say, just praise it for the good, this is Song Lan's experience.

Xia Lan nodded, wondering if it was Song Lan's illusion, but there seemed to be a little joy on the female ghost's face.But when he blinked, the other party's expression returned to the original lazy look.

"Our mall has been very lively these two days. Manager Cao found a Taoist priest from somewhere, and said that he is going to do a religious ceremony. Boss Xia must have heard about this, right?" Song Lanxu squinted his eyes, seemingly casually asking , but actually stared at the other person's expression and behavior with the corner of his eye.

He came back here just to inquire about Xia Lan's attitude on this matter.He didn't know which of them the Taoist priest came for, but what was certain was that no matter who the Taoist priest was targeting, they were both considered a community of interests, and if one party was in trouble, the other would inevitably be implicated.Therefore, even if he doesn't know the intention and purpose of this senior occupying this place, he must come to find out the details, so as not to be caught off guard when an accident happens.

Xia Lan still had that lazy look and was not affected by Song Lan's words: "I heard that Manager Cao brought that Taoist priest over yesterday afternoon."

"Then what does Boss Xia think?" Song Lan's heart skipped a beat as she stared at Xia Lan's every move.

Xia Lan changed her hand to rest her chin, raised her eyelids to glance at Song Lan, then lowered her eyes again, and said, "I don't think much about it, they can do it if they want, anyway, I don't pay for it, and I don't need to worry about it. It’s just a venue, nothing serious.”

The casual and careless look on Xia Lan's face did not seem to be fake. Song Lan looked at it for a long time and was sure that the other party really didn't care about it. The originally tense and serious expression gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on her eyebrows and eyes: "Say It’s true, anyway, it’s enough for Manager Cao to worry about this matter, we are just tenants of the mall.”

After saying a few more neutral words, Song Lan found an excuse to leave, and the Lanlan Gold Store returned to its former tranquility.The whole store seems to be a secret room with good sound insulation, the sounds of people in the mall and the sounds of cars on the street are all isolated from the outside.

Not long after Song Lan left, a strong black shadow slowly appeared in the air.

"My lord, that Song Lan seems to have come to inquire about something." Hei Ying said to Xia Lan.

Xia Lan stretched lazily, and said in a calm tone, "It's nothing, I've expected it a long time ago. If he doesn't come, I'd be surprised."

"My lord, what should we do?" Hei Ying hesitated, "That Taoist surnamed Yu seems to be quite capable, I'm afraid he saw something. What if something happens..."

"I'm not worried at all, so what are you afraid of?" Xia Lan cast a sidelong glance at Hei Ying and yawned again.

The black shadow immediately fell silent, not daring to speak.

"There is that kid surnamed Zhang, so I don't need my girl to do it at all," Xia Lan glanced at the brightly lit bookstore outside the store intentionally or unintentionally, and said to herself, "It's just a little Taoist priest in the human world, it's worth it." Is there such a big fuss? It seems that the little ghost envoy surnamed Song needs to exercise more."

***

For the shopping mall to invite Taoist priests to perform rituals, most of the stores in the shopping mall are welcome, even if they have to close for a day, it doesn't matter.Over the years, Lijin's "reputation" has caused customers to dare not come to the door, and even most of the shops in the mall have been affected.If a ritual can really drive away the ghosts, then even if the business is closed for a week, no one will say much.

Since the ceremony was scheduled to be held at noon the next day, the shopping mall began to clear people after five o'clock this afternoon.Fortunately, Li Jin usually doesn't have many customers, especially after nightfall, there are fewer people coming, so this job is not troublesome.

It's just that the customers who came to the Shadow Bookstore complained, including Jiang Siqi who came with her cousin.

Previously, Jiang Siqi bought an album at the Shadow Bookstore as a birthday present for her cousin. Unexpectedly, the other party was very pleasantly surprised after receiving the gift. She repeatedly praised her little cousin for being considerate. There are not many record stores in the city, so I asked my cousin where I bought the record.

Jiang Siqi didn't expect this record to impress her cousin. You must know that in the past, she gave him a lot of presents on her birthday, many of which were more expensive than records, but she has never seen him so happy. It works a lot.

While expressing emotion, Jiang Siqi naturally told her cousin that the record was bought in a newly opened bookstore, and a clerk recommended this record to her at that time, so she bought it.

When my cousin heard that a bookstore actually sold records, and it was the kind of record that had just been released abroad and could not be bought in most stores in China, he was immediately surprised, and urged his cousin to take him to that bookstore to have a look, maybe he would still be able to buy it. Can find other "treasures".

Both cousins ​​have to go to work during the day, and often have to work overtime at night. Finally, one day when both of them are free, Jiang Siqi excitedly led her cousin to the Lijin Mall, but was told that the mall is temporarily closed. Please The guests will come back later.

Not to mention the disappointment of the two of them at the moment, especially cousin Jiang Siqi, whose mood has gone from ups and downs, it is inevitable that he was a little angry, and he muttered: "I guess there is nothing good, a bookstore opened in Lijinli What future do you have? I see, cousin, you were just a blind cat and a dead mouse before."

His voice was a bit loud, which attracted the attention of some people nearby.

"Cousin," Jiang Siqi hurriedly twisted his cousin's arm, and lowered his voice in embarrassment, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault that I didn't read the bookstore's closure notice on Weibo in advance, or we'd better come back another day."

The unit where my cousin works is far away from here, and he rushed here after work without even ignoring the meal. Unexpectedly, the door was closed, so he was naturally annoyed.The anger in his heart still hasn't subsided: "Forget it, I won't come to this kind of place if you give me money! Siqi, I also remind you, don't come here in the future, everyone in Jincheng doesn't know that Lijin is not clean ? If you come again, be careful and I will tell my aunt!"

The aunt my cousin was talking about was Jiang Siqi's mother. When Jiang Siqi heard that he still wanted to sue her, she became anxious: "Wu Jingwen, you are so heartless, you dare to talk nonsense, be careful. I will tell my sister-in-law that you stole money from your house. Spend it on records!"

The two cousins ​​were bickering, when suddenly someone seemed to be calling Jiang Siqi.

"Miss Jiang? Is that person calling you?" My cousin looked to the side and made a stop gesture.

"Who is calling me?" Jiang Siqi was also stunned, and looked to the side.

"Hey, aren't you that... the manager of the Shadow Bookstore?" Maybe the other person's appearance was too memorable, Jiang Siqi recognized the person at a glance, and the other person was Zhang Fan who recommended her to buy the record that day.

Reminiscent of her behavior just now, maybe the other party saw the scene of her quarreling with her cousin, Jiang Siqi not only blushed, but also gave her cousin a hard look, making the latter look inexplicable: What's the matter, this girl Still want to quarrel?

Zhang Fan seemed completely unaware of Jiang Siqi's behavior just now, with a decent smile on his face, he strode up to Jiang Siqi: "Miss Jiang is coming to our bookstore?"

"Well, I didn't expect that it happened to go out of business." Jiang Siqi nodded regretfully, pointed at her cousin with a wry smile, "This is my cousin, and the last record was given to him. I wanted to bring him here to have a look the result of……"

In front of the clerk, of course, cousin Jiang Siqi would not say those excessive words, he just "hummed" softly to express his dissatisfaction.

"I'm really sorry that I made you go all this way for nothing." Zhang Fan had a bit of apology on his face, but his attitude was still polite.

"No, no, it's my fault. I didn't realize that you had notified about this on Weibo." Jiang Siqi's cheeks were flushed, and she waved her hands repeatedly.Facing Zhang Fan's handsome face so close at hand, even if there was a lot of resentment, it disappeared without a trace at this moment.

The cousin watched coldly from the side, and secretly rolled his eyes: This stinky girl, when she meets a handsome guy, she becomes dizzy and doesn't know her name.

"How about this," Zhang Fan thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Actually, the ceremony will start tomorrow. Although the store has to prepare for it tonight, it is only in one place and does not affect the record area. If you really want to come, I can take you there." Go in and have a look."

"Really?" Jiang Siqi's eyes lit up, but she thought of something, and her expression was a little hesitant, "Will this affect you? I heard that the mall will have something to do tomorrow, and all irrelevant personnel have to leave the scene."

"It doesn't matter as long as you don't make too much noise," Zhang Fan smiled warmly, "Of course, I think both of you are educated people, and you won't do anything inappropriate."

The cousin snorted softly when he heard the words, and thought that seeing the cousin's obsessed look, it was obvious that she was thinking about spring, this little boy's speech was quite nice.

"Hey, the store manager Zhang promised to take us in, are you going?" Jiang Siqi still didn't forget that she was arguing with her cousin earlier, so she naturally didn't look good towards him at this time, so she asked stiffly.

The cousin opened his mouth, originally wanting to refuse with righteous words, but thinking of the precious record at home, he couldn't say it.

"Just go, I want to see what good records a bookstore can have." My cousin muttered, kind of finding a way for himself.
