Legend has it that in every city there are people who disappear into the darkness.They voluntarily signed a contract with the darkness, and they will live with the darkness forever.Hidden in the darkness we cannot see.No matter when and where, there are always some people.People you didn't care about, people you never paid attention to.They are ignored, forgotten.Gradually they will become transparent little by little, and then melt into the darkness little by little.

Maybe one day, you will ask if there was such a person.Others answer you, never.You will doubt yourself, did that person really exist?Looking at the vacant position, I always feel that something is missing.But you never really cared about it, so you smiled back and thought that you thought too much.Maybe when you looked there suspiciously.They are always there watching you and never leave.It's just that you can't see it.

They may be around us, just staring at you quietly.They become everyone's follower, the self that everyone can't see through.Elves exist only in the dark.Silently watching your every move.

The only proof is those shadows in the sun.The shadows that follow us.Maybe it was them.

Can you touch your own shadow?

Among the drowsy people sitting on the train, only Qin Yejue still kept his sharp eyes.He stared at everything around him with a serious expression, cautious and cautious.

Hearing that there were a lot of thieves on the train, Fan Yanxuan was also half asleep and half awake holding the bag tightly in his arms.Liang Shuang leaned on her shoulder, and fell asleep long ago.

Fan Tong saw that Qin Yejue always read that book on weekdays, and today he also made an exception and asked Qin Yejue to borrow one.Qin Yejue took a novel and handed it to him.I am afraid that Fan Tong will not understand other books.Even so, Fan Tong still held the book, as if looking at a hypnotic charm, and soon fell asleep with his face on the book and pillow.

Because the journey is not too far, I chose a hard seat.Gradually, the roadside scenery is no longer full of green, but transformed into yellow sand flying all over the sky, as if there is no end in sight, feeling desolate and silent, just like its name "cool sand" desolate desert.

But Qin Yejue didn't think so. Instead, he felt that it was under these layers of sand that the local sweet melons and fruits were all over the ground.Therefore, the endless desert, combined with the abundant harvest of melons and fruits, is also a different kind of beauty.

I got off the train and went straight to the hotel with my luggage. The sun was so hot that I was almost dry.I hurried back to the hotel to take a shower, and washed away the fatigue from the exhausting journey.

Liang Shuang put on the big silk scarf that Fan Yanxuan gave her, it was light and soft.Liang Shuang wrapped her head, only showing a cute face, after all, she wanted to have a concave shape.

After taking a shower and tidying up, of course it is time to find local delicacies.Before that, Fan Yanxuan found a lot of local food information on the Internet.So this time it was much more convenient than in Mucheng, and at least I did my homework seriously.

The restaurant is a little hard to find.In a narrow and lonely street.They thought it would be a relatively large restaurant, but they found it was a small restaurant when they arrived.The dishes inside are all farm dishes.

The few people who couldn't wait asked the boss to try all of his signature dishes.The boss talked about how to eat catfish, carp, local mutton, and some special green leafy vegetables.

The next day, several people were fully armed and happily walked in the desert on camels.I saw long marks left on the desert, but they were covered by a gust of sand.

I had a lot of fun these few days, and I went through almost all the local attractions.The most eaten one is mutton, all kinds of mutton.I have to say that the mutton here is really much better than other places.After eating, Liang Shuang had a few small pimples on his face.But in front of delicious food, she still gave up her beauty.Start eating and drinking.After all, in life, eating and drinking are the most important words.

Apart from teasing Fan Tong on a daily basis, Qin Yejue just watched the scenery quietly.Or just looking at that thick book that never seems to see the end.Back in the hotel room late at night, Fan Yanxuan and Liang Shuang said they wanted to play cards.But when I got to the room, I found that there was no card, so I had to give up.Liang Shuang was hungry again, so he called for takeaway.However, Qin Yejue seemed indifferent to the delicious food on the table, and sat beside Fan Tong with the book, reading the book next to him.Seeing Fan Tong whose face was covered in crumbs, Qin Yejue just took a tissue to wipe it off gently for him, and then Fan Tong continued to eat.

After eating enough and playing enough, of course they went to the most prosperous local antique gathering place.

Because it happened to be a weekend, there were quite a lot of people around the stalls.All kinds of inquiries and bargaining voices are also overwhelming.The bosses of all the stores are all 12 points high, staring at every customer who is likely to buy something.Then he aimed at the little fat sheep that was the best to slaughter, and killed him painfully.Liang Shuang glanced at the stall and saw that there were many weird gadgets, but most of them were fake.Even if there are a few real ones, they are not worth much.

The few people who crowded around from the beginning to the end were already sweating profusely.I just want to quickly find a place with air conditioning to rest my feet.

While they were looking back and forth, Fan Tong was attracted by a strange feeling.He walked towards the store unconsciously.

"Fan Tong! Where are you going?" Fan Yanxuan shouted Fan Tong who seemed to have lost his soul.

The three of them followed him through the crowd and entered the antique shop together.The shop owner is a middle-aged man with thick glasses, short and thin, and looks very shrewd.

Fan Tong looked back and forth looking for the thing that attracted him.

There are other customers in the store, and the boss is chatting with that person.He turned around and smiled at the four of them.Pushing back the glasses that fell on the tip of his nose, but as he walked, the glasses slipped off again.

"What do you guys like?" The boss showed his big yellow teeth.

"Walk around casually." Fan Yanxuan replied.

The antiques in the house are very miscellaneous, including antique furniture and porcelain vases.Small items include bracelets and rings, chopsticks, bowls and dishes, stamps and copper coins, and some unusual little things.

Fan Tong looked around and suddenly stopped.He saw old wooden boxes behind some broken Mazza benches.It was just thrown in that corner. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was the garbage thrown by the boss.

He walked up to him carefully and gently moved the bench away.Slowly put the wooden box on the Maza.His handprints immediately left marks in the dust on the box.The thick dust on the box indicated that this item was not a precious treasure, so the boss could treat it like this.

Fan Tong found the switch, pulled it lightly, and the box opened.Open the box, inside are some donkey shadow puppets and ancient scripts.The script is in dilapidated condition, missing pages and corners.Similarly, the shadow puppets are not much better. There are very few complete shadow puppets in a thick box.Either an arm is missing, or a leg is missing.In addition to human figures, these shadow puppets also have sedan chairs, horses, lions, knives, guns and sticks.Those originally bright colors have also faded with the years.

Looking at it like this, there are hundreds of shadow puppets in a box.Among the layers of shadow puppets in his hands, Fan Tong found a shadow puppet who didn't fit in well.

He gently pushed the other shadow puppets away, and took out that one alone.I just discovered this humanoid shadow puppet, which is new and strange, and its style is also strange.Put together with the other red and green ones, this one is like a shadow puppet without coloring.

And he found that this human-shaped shadow puppet, compared with those exaggerated yellow shapes, is very realistic, black and white, as if it was scaled down and carved out of a real person.

"Xiao Shuang, take a look at this." Fan Tong called Liang Shuang who was looking at porcelain over.

"what happened?"

"Look at this shadow puppet, isn't it colored?" Fan Tong asked.

Liang Shuang took the shadow puppet and examined it carefully, biting his lips in embarrassment, "This... seems to be this color. Except for the black hair, eyes and eyebrows, everything else is white. And... I actually touched it What is it made of? Let me tell you that the general shadow puppets are made of animal skins. I can actually find out this, and shadow puppets usually go through skin selection, leather making, drawing, drafting, engraving, coloring, It takes eight processes of sweating, ironing, embellishment and synthesis to complete a piece of work. But... this one really looks like a semi-finished product."

After listening to her explanation, Fan Tong, who was already dizzy, became dizzy even more.

Looking at the out-of-place and lonely shadow puppet in his hand, he actually felt that this shadow puppet was a bit lonely.

The boss sold a calligraphy and painting, ordered some money, and smiled enthusiastically at the guest.The creases on the face were all squeezed together, and the mouth full of big yellow teeth also showed up together.

After seeing off the guest, the boss glanced at them with some cloudy eyes.After collecting the money, he came to them with brisk steps.

"Boss, how do you sell this box of shadow puppets?" Liang Shuang asked Fan Tong directly.

The boss took off the thick glasses that were as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle, and rubbed them against the pockets of his clothes.He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "You guys have really good eyesight. This thing is a rare and rare treasure. Look at my script. There are all these shadow puppets. Now there are not many matching scripts and shadow puppets. I think back then□□ The era is broken and the four old. How difficult it is for these treasures to be preserved."

"Just tell me how much it is." Fan Tong couldn't take it anymore and continued to brag.They are all short and short, but they are still complete!

"Hehe." The boss showed a mouth full of yellow teeth and laughed, making a nine-to-one comparison.

Fan Tong thought that throwing it on the ground for so long should not be expensive, and tentatively asked, "Nine hundred?"

The boss shook his head.

"Nine thousand?"

The boss still shook his head.

"[-]!" Fan Tong couldn't believe he said this number.

The boss nodded cheerfully.

"Boss, I said that you are asking too much for the price, and it will cost [-] yuan!" Fan Tong questioned the boss.

The boss didn't take it seriously, "It's precious in a complete set. It's even more special if it has a script. It's not modern, and there are so many of them in a box, so that's the price." The boss didn't mean to lower the price at all.

Fan Tong rolled his eyes and thought: You have been thrown on the ground for so long, and you are still precious!Profiteer!It's really no profiteering!

Liang Shuang watched from the side and thought to himself: This person who runs an antique shop has nothing to do with profit.Being able to kill one is one, and being able to deceive one is one.

Immediately, she sighed and said to the boss, "Boss, we are here to travel poorly. We don't have that much money. We are all students, so you can make it cheaper." Liang Shuang blinked his big watery eyes vigorously.

Finally, under Liang Shuang's brainwashing, they bought a whole box of shadow puppets together with the wooden box at less than half the price.

As soon as Liang Shuang went out, she yelled for Fan Tong to treat her to dessert.Of course, Fan Tong agreed, and the two of them went to find the dessert shop after bouncing around.

A Japanese dessert shop in the distance caught their attention.I didn't expect to be able to eat Japanese desserts here.

Take a closer look at the words "Shadows" on the signboard.

It's a weird name.As soon as I walked in, the chilly breath came over my face.

Liang Shuang discovered that today's signature dessert is Shuixinxuan Cake.This is a traditional snack in Japan. It was originally made of glutinous rice flour and eaten with soybean flour.Recently, a shop in Japan switched to using agar instead of glutinous rice flour, resulting in the crystal clear, soft QQ Shuixinxuan Cake that is now like a crystal ball.

"It's delicious!" Liang Shuang was satisfied.

"It's not too sweet, it's not bad." Qin Yejue tasted it and said.

"The feeling of melting in the mouth is great!" Fan Yanxuan also had a happy expression on his face.

Only Fan Tong was still staring blankly at the Shuixinxuan cake in front of him.

"More than 10 minutes, it will melt." The waiter in the store came to remind me kindly.

"What your family did is really great!" Liang Shuang praised the waiter without hesitation.

"Yeah. Our signboard hasn't changed, it's always been this way."

"Always? Do people here like to eat this?" Liang Shuang asked.

"It's one thing to like to eat. But the most important thing is that our boss especially likes the transparent Shuixingen cake."

"Why?" Fan Tong also asked curiously.

"Because she said that the Shuixinxuan Cake has no shadow."
