Fallen grid shop

Chapter 105 The Weight of Dreams

The evening sunset shrouded the freezing point beach in Sanqing City.The boss stood by the seaside, looking at the endless sea in front of him, silent.

After a while, the sound of footsteps on the sand came from behind him.

"I'm back." The boss didn't turn his head, and calmly asked the people behind him.

"Well, thank you boss for willing to help me."

"It's okay, everyone is the same." The subordinate turned around, walked up to him and asked, "You changed your name and appearance just for such a thing, won't you regret it?"

The man was silent for a while, and the boss patted him on the shoulder, persuading him: "Go home and take a look. See if what the girl said is not a lie, I will give you a vacation."

The boss left after saying this.

The man stood on the beach with his head down, watching the crab slowly move his footsteps towards the direction of the sea, watching the shells buried in the shining sand, he was silent and did not move for a long time.

When Lulu returned to the hotel, the hotel owner was sorting out the books.Seeing Lulu walk into the shop humming a little song in a happy mood, the shop owner took a look at her and said, "Did you find it?"

"I guess you found it." Lulu smiled at the innkeeper, and moved over, "Boss, thank you."

"Thank you for what I'm doing." The boss waved his hand, "You're still the first customer I found here."

"How do you say that?"

"You found someone, so I might as well tell you about it. I couldn't figure it out before, and then I heard a plastic surgeon say it. But any outsider in this city, once determined to stay here, will Changing names and surnames and changing faces. This can also explain why many people come here without getting anything.”

Lulu didn't seem to remember what the innkeeper said afterwards.She just felt that the weird behavior of the person she met for the first time was replaying in front of her eyes to the last conversation, and she seemed to understand something in an instant.

"It's him."

The photo was still in her pocket, and Lulu took it out to look at it. In the photo, the big boy was wearing a navy cap, holding the paper boat high above his head, smiling brightly.

"Damn it, they tricked me."

Before the hotel owner finished speaking, Lulu went upstairs to get her things and walked outside the hotel.

Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside, Lulu remembered the alley she chased the first day, and decided to go back and inquire again.

There was a market on the way to that alley, and she didn't pay attention to it the first time she went there.Unexpectedly, when I went this time, I was attracted by the scene inside.

In that market, unlike other cities, there are a group of peddlers who sell dreams.To say it is selling dreams, it is better to say that it is a group of down-and-out people with dreams, showing themselves here, waiting for bosom friends.

Although they wear different clothes, have different looks, and sell different works.But in their eyes, Lulu saw the same radiant eyes as the boy in the photo.

"As expected of the city of dreams." Lulu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Hearing the gentle singing of a musician contained in the noise not far away, she couldn't help but walked over, stood not far away, and listened quietly.

Dear friend, don't wander
Here is your home and your dreams

we are all the same stubborn
Waiting for the moment of rebirth

if you want to tell me
I'd be happy to give you half of the bouquet
The singing voice was gentle and delicate. Lulu's eyes were a little rosy as she listened to it.She seemed to feel that person's mood.Seeing the haughty light in the eyes of these downcast people around her, she hesitated for a long time, then turned and left the market, and walked back slowly.

"Where did you go just now?" The boss watched Lulu walk into the store and asked.

Lu Lu didn’t answer him, but asked the boss a question.

"Boss, tell me, what is the so-called dream?"

This made the boss laugh out loud.He looked at Lulu's curious eyes, and gave an example: "If you like apples, but your mother forces you to eat pears every day for no reason, and won't let you see apples again, what will you do?"

"Of course I hate pears more and want apples more."

"These people are just such a group of people. They yearn to have a bite of that apple one day, and struggle every day for that favorite apple. Even if their family has more pears in front of them, what's the use? "

"He must like singing very much, just like that person, he must like the sea very much," Lulu muttered softly.

"what?"

"Nothing, nothing."

After Lulu thanked the boss, she went straight upstairs.She thought silently in her heart that maybe it was time to leave the city.

With the sunshine in the morning of the second day, Lulu packed her luggage and embarked on the road to Winterfell.

Before leaving, she gave some small gifts to the boss.It was the seafood she caught on the coast of Sanqing City, it was alive and kicking in the box, very fresh.

Lulu looked at the city of dreams fading away from the window, and a strange emotion rose up.She couldn't tell what it was, but she just knew that she didn't want to disturb the innocent hearts of those dream-chasing strangers.

It happened to be evening when they arrived at Winterfell, and when Lulu walked out of the station, she didn't see the familiar figure of the old man again.

She walked over and knocked on the ticket window, and the ticket seller who was about to leave stopped what she was doing and looked at her.

"Excuse me, has the old man who comes here every day gone back today?"

The ticket seller replied with a displeased face: "A young man in his 40s came here today, and they left after saying something. Have you finished asking, and I will leave work after asking."

Lulu nodded, and she stared blankly at the bench in the forest park again, unable to calm down for a long time.

"Is this a satisfactory solution?"

The cold wind blew again.Lulu put away her small bag, turned back into a cat and nestled on the chair.

When the sun rises again tomorrow, she will go back to Aurora City alone.Maybe that old man will never appear again, and that photo can only occupy a certain grid of the lattice shop.

But Lulu was very happy in her heart.

Above the ruins, Luoluo clutched her right hand in pain, and looked fiercely at the cloaked elf in front of her.

Cang Yue supported Luo Luo, and said coldly, "Undo the curse."

As if the cloaked elf didn't hear it, as soon as he raised his hand, the mark on Luo Luo's arm emitted a purple light, which made Luo Luo feel overwhelmed with pain.

"Ah!!!" There was a shrill cry, and beads of sweat had already oozed from Luoluo's forehead.

"Luoluo." Cang Yue held Luoluo in her arms distressedly, and asked the cloaked elf on the opposite side, "What do you need, so that you are willing to undo this curse."

"It's very simple, I want you to cooperate with me. As long as you agree, and she is no longer my enemy, I can let her go now."

"Don't even think about it," Luo Luo gritted her teeth and said with a pale face.

"I'm still stubborn now, as long as I don't understand, this thing can grow in your body, and sooner or later, your heart will be swallowed by it."

The cloak was proud, and a string of Buddhist beads surrounded his spell-casting hand.The mana was absorbed by the beads little by little, and he couldn't take it off no matter what.

"Be safe, Elder Feng."
