[No.8 Pawn Shop] On the Raidability of Gao Leng

Yan Shen returned to the room, put the violin into an exclusive wooden box, and gently covered it.When the eyes glanced at a word "sound" on the lid, lingering sound!There was a hint of warmth on his face, and his brows and eyes softened.

Putting down the stylus, a stream of music as soft as water came out. He sat on the sofa and listened quietly, letting everything go and giving himself a break.The music flows along, tactfully and smoothly, and the beautiful notes are slowly jumping in the ears.Thoughts flowed backwards in his head.

Time suddenly jumped to many years ago.

Yan Shen came from a wealthy family.

As a result of doing business for generations, I have accumulated a lot of savings and experience.During the period of warlord chaos, the ancestors aimed viciously at business opportunities and made a lot of money.Moreover, the family's economy is good, and Yan's father is more westernized, with a long-term vision.

Yan's father got married at the age of 16 and was a childhood sweetheart.After getting married, the two have always been in love, and he has no other concubines, which is a typical lifetime of a couple.At the time, it was very rare.Yan Shen is the eldest son, and he has a younger brother. Since there are few children, Yan's father pays more attention to cultivating them.

In particular, he pays great attention to the education and morality of the eldest son. Of course, the second son cannot be left behind.

Yan's father asked Yan Shen to learn foreign languages ​​and science since he was a child, and gave him music training.So Yan Shen began to learn to play the violin and piano at the age of eight.As for the Four Books and Five Classics in China, Father Yan hired another teacher to teach them privately.

He has learned both Chinese and Western cultures, and he is the father's expectation that his son will serve the country when he grows up and become a new generation of Chinese youths with real knowledge.

When Yan Shen was 20 years old, his father sent him to study in England.He studied medicine and law.Like every Chinese youth at that time, he had a dream of serving the motherland.After finishing his studies in the future, he will return to his motherland to practice medicine, and make the motherland more advanced with scientific technology.So the young Yan Shen traveled across the ocean to England alone, put on foreign clothes, and studied with the foreign students around him.

There, he met a girl who he thought was due to fate...

The breeze is coming, the water waves are flickering, bright and dark, the lotus flowers in the pond are sparse and dense, and the hem of the white clothes is floating in the reflection of the water waves.Close your eyes, rest your head on the porch pillar with all your weight, your long hair covering half of your face.Yueyin Building is omnipotent, and it is easy to restore it to its original appearance in an instant.

Stretching out her long hair over her ears, she raised her delicate face and looked at the vast black night. The stars in the sky reminded her of that person's eyes.Although it is usually dark and pitch black, whenever he is in a happy mood, the sky will be full of stars.

Sometimes she feels that he is far away from her, he seems like a mystery that no one can decipher.And this mystery deeply entangles her, so she can't help but want to understand, want to see his smile, his sadness, his loneliness, his tenderness, his eyes containing the vast starry sky.

Who is he?What's his past?Why so melancholy?

His starry eyes, dark messenger-like attire, and everything about him aroused her unstoppable curiosity. She had never thought of it before, and curiosity was also a variant of potential love.And this variant has sprouted...

Xia Jing sat up straight and stretched out his hand, trying to pick off a star.But that's impossible, she smiled, spread her hands flat, and devoutly caught the soft moonlight.

... No matter who you are, if you like it, you like it.She opened a pair of light-colored eyes, looked at the stars in the sky, and pulled the corners of her mouth upwards.

Everyone in the world has a different outlook on love. In front of love, everyone is regardless of high or low.Even if you are a noble person, you were once as humble as an ant in front of love.She thinks she dares to love and hate, and she doesn't care whether he can accept it or not, she only knows that she likes him.Therefore, in her dictionary, she has never given up, is so stubborn and twisted that she will never repent, she is so domineering and unreasonable.

"Mr. Zhao, you are here, this way please."

With a polite smile on Xia Jing's oblique face, he welcomed a new guest.She walked ahead to lead the way, luring another soul to go on the road of no return.Mr. Zhao is like everyone who comes in to pawn, he is full of curiosity about everything here, but he is also afraid.He looked left and right at this gorgeously decorated room, his eyes were filled with surprise, he couldn't believe it was a pawn shop, and he was surprised at its existence.

Yan Shen had been waiting in the trading hall early on. He was sitting upright on the trading chair, with an air of extravagance blowing over his face.The confident and polite smile on his face added an aura to him, an aura that made people feel awe involuntarily.

Standing in front of him, the guest couldn't help bowing his head in shame.With messy hair and a gloomy complexion, he is obviously a failure in life, but the neat suit on his body suggests that he was once a wealthy person.But pawn shops are often the people who like this kind of people the most and welcome them the most.

"Mr. Zhao, I am the person in charge of this pawn shop."

"Boss." The guest replied respectfully.

Yan Shen stretched out his hand to invite him to sit down, and asked him straightforward questions without the slightest procrastination.

"What do you want to pawn?"

"I..." The guest scratched his head, his expression was uneasy, and he sat on pins and needles.The smile on Yan Shen's face remained undiminished, it was a mask leading the ignorant soul to continue to degenerate.

"Can you really do anything here?" The guest asked cautiously.

"Yes, hands, feet, your wife's life, your children's future, as long as you want, we accept it."

"No, you can take all of my belongings, but don't try to get my wife and daughter out of my way. I'm here to hope that they can live a stable and comfortable life. I don't want them to be punished because of my business failure. Don't worry about being afraid, let alone be dragged down because of it."

When it comes to emotion, the guest's eyes are already flickering.

"Don't worry, I won't force others to make things difficult for me. I will only accept what you are willing to pawn."

Yan Shen shook his head slowly, and the guests relaxed.

"What do you want to pawn?" He leaned forward slightly, looking at the guest with piercing eyes.

"I……"

The guest was dumbfounded.

His mind started to work, he thought, he scratched his head, and finally, he let go.

"I urgently need five thousand oceans."

Yan Shen sat back straight, with a clear smile on his face, he was like a master, controlling the fate of the coming human beings.

"I do have a house, which was left to me by my grandfather, but if I become an owner, Jinmei will know. I don't want her to be troubled. Jinmei is a wife, and my storefront is rented. I, I have The goods in half of the warehouse, but they are all second-hand goods from the year before last. I really don't know what I should do to change..."

"...for five thousand oceans." As he spoke, the guest lowered his head in shame.

Yan Shen let go of his slightly frowned eyebrows after he finished speaking.

Xia Jing's squinting eyes lit up, this is a good time to squeeze.She opened her mouth slightly, and suddenly felt a strong gaze, and signaled to Shang Yan Shen's eyes, go down.Xia Jing held his breath obliquely, and took a few steps back resentfully and helplessly.

The guest raised his head, moved his lips, and said again, his voice was hoarse like being torn apart.

"I don't want to pawn my limbs and internal organs. I don't want my family to know. I don't want them to worry about me."

Yan Shen nodded to express his understanding.The guest watched Yan Shen's expression anxiously.Yan Shen suppressed his smile, and the heart of the guests hung up, like a death row prisoner waiting for the final announcement.

However, what awaits him is redemption.

I saw the boss stretch out his hand very simply, pointing to the ring on his hand, with the momentum of pointing the country.

"Just like a ring on your finger."

The guest touched his ring and took it off.

"this?"

His eyes were suspicious.

Yan Shen took out a ticket out of thin air and put it in front of the guests.

"This is five thousand oceans, which can be exchanged at any bank in the world. Leave the ring, sign the contract, and the five thousand oceans can be taken away."

The guest put the ring on the table, Yan Shen noticed it with his eyes, reached out to pick it up, and looked at it carefully.But the client didn't move when facing the contract, just staring blankly.

"Mr. Zhao, you have to make a quick decision when doing business. It's too late! Maybe I will regret it."

As if waking up from a dream, the guest rushed up to sign. After signing, he was relieved and hesitated.

"It's just boss, my ring is not worth the price at all, will this..."

"I am the boss, and the value of all pawns is determined by me. The ring is temporarily kept by me. If you don't redeem it within half a year, it will belong to me."

"Yes, I understand the rules." Mr. Zhao nodded.

His eyes looked at the bank note, Yan Shen raised his eyebrows, indicating that it belonged to him, Mr. Zhao picked it up immediately, and he thanked Yan Shen gratefully.

"Thank you, thank you boss." He stood up and wanted to shake hands.

Yan Shen didn't even look at it, he just focused on the watch in his hand, so naturally he didn't answer it, so he could only stretch out one hand in the air in embarrassment, and retract it in embarrassment.

Xia Jing opened his eyes sideways, slandering in his heart - I x your uncle, you actually want to touch my boss's little hand, you're going to die!very good!I remember you, come back next time, I swear to squeeze you dry! (The villain in his heart silently waved a small handkerchief: Fortunately, the boss is aloof and was not touched)

"You're welcome. If you need our services in the future, you are always welcome."

The guest nodded gratefully.

Yan Shen raised his hand and waved.

He sat on the chair, slowly put his hands down, and finally put them on the armrest, and lowered his eyebrows.This Zhao Wei reminded him of himself and why he came here.

Xia Jing obliquely held the guest's pawn, put it into a glass bottle, and covered it with a glass lid.This time the deal was just a bait.In the pawnshop, the most indispensable thing is gold and silver treasures, and that Mr. Zhao, they can tell that he has a pure soul. This kind of soul is often difficult to connect with the pawnshop, and it is also the most valuable.

The more holy the soul is, the more welcome it is in the pawnshop. The ridiculous thing is that the more evil the soul is, the less valuable it is in the pawnshop.The ring is just an opportunity, an opportunity to lure the soul to pawn.

But she still felt resentful, obviously she could let the guests pawn higher items.She looked at Yan Shen's eyes with a little resentment.Back then, she would never give up until she skinned the enemy, but now, facing the cold and soft-hearted boss, she had no choice but to feel helpless.

Yan Shen directly ignored Xia Jing's slanted eyes.

"Boss, why do we need to collect some souls?"

Yan Shen stood up and looked sideways at her.

"It's not us who are going to accept the souls."

"Wait, don't go!"

Yan Shen stopped and turned to look at her.

"Uh, I want to say that there is good news. There is a war in the country recently. Many people have come to pawn one after another. We have also collected a lot of pure souls. Do you think the master will reward us?"

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"Well, actually I want to ask you, what are you worrying about?" Xia Jing obliquely compromised, and finally stopped beating around the bush.

Yan Shen remained silent, staring at her with fixed eyes, those deep eyes seemed to be able to pierce a blood hole out of a person's body, for no reason, Xia Jing's heart trembled when he saw it.

"You don't have to worry about my affairs." He turned his head and replied in a low voice.

Instead, he left with his hands behind his back, and gave her a calm and handsome back.Xia Jing squinted at his back, really wanted to scold his mother, why did the person she fell in love with be such a boring gourd!Second Olympic!Then I thought silently in my heart: It seems that only from others can I understand him.

"Cousin, I'm really sorry. I just came to Shanghai and haven't found a place to stay. I'm bothering you this time."

"When I find a place to stay in a few days, I'll—"

Cousin Jin Mei took Lin Yuyin's hand and stopped her, "Hey...Yu Yin, we are all sisters from our own family, you and me, who is with who! You are willing to come to Shanghai to accompany me. I am too happy. How could it be? Is it an interruption? Besides, I thought the house was too quiet for a long time. When you come, it will be more lively. Don’t say you are going to other places. Just stay here with your cousin and me. How long do you want to stay? Just stay for as long as you want!"

Lin Yuyin smiled, and didn't refuse, a lotus-like smile bloomed on her face.

"Thank you!"

The cousin patted the back of her hand lightly and nodded in relief.Jin Mei is a woman in her thirties. She has a mature charm. She wears a long-sleeved cheongsam to wrap her graceful figure.It is not difficult to imagine that before, she must have been a beautiful woman.

"Is brother-in-law at home?"

"Buzhuang has something to do, he said, and he will take care of you at night."

"Come on, go into the house and talk inside."

"By the way, where is my brother-in-law? Is he here?"

"He..." Yu Yin hesitated.It was as if a scab in her heart that hadn't healed was forcibly torn off, and once again exposed to the air, she was so painful that she couldn't even utter the reply she had thought about.

Suddenly, a little girl ran out from the door, she stopped at the door with a pair of pure big eyes.

"Rujing, come here and meet your cousin."

Cousin Jin Mei smiled and waved, the girl trotted over and threw herself into her arms, causing her body to shake.

"Oh, little girl, are you shy?"

The cousin scratched the girl's pink nose reproachfully. The little girl sniffed and buried her head in her arms again.Yu Yin smiled, looked at her, and blinked her eyes to calm down the agitation that had just arisen, they were so happy.The flowery smile is more lonely.

"Hehe, Yu Yin, I'm sorry, this girl is a little shy."

Lin Yuyin shook her head lightly, still smiling, obviously not paying attention.She squatted forward, touched the little girl's face, took out a candy from the bag and stuffed it into the child's hand.The little girl opened her eyes wide and blinked.Suddenly, she leaned forward and kissed Lin Yuyin on the cheek.Both Yu Yin and her cousin Jin Mei were stunned. After a while, the cousin let out a hearty laugh.

"Hahahaha, Yu Yin, it seems that this girl likes you very much."

Lin Yuyin touched the side of her face, there seemed to be a wet feeling there, she grinned, she was really happy.She picked up the little girl, and the little girl didn't struggle, she was obediently in her arms, and she stroked the child's soft hair.

"How old is she?"

"Five years old."

……

Lin Yuyin walked into Zhao's house side by side with her cousin, chatting and laughing, the sun was high in the sky, and the sun was shining on Zhao's house, making everyone happy.

PS: The following passage was tampered with and written by a certain No. [-] fan. I bow, sorry, I brought it because I like your description.He is like a mystery that no one can decipher.And this mystery deeply entangles her, so she can't help but want to understand, want to see his smile, his sadness, his loneliness, his tenderness, his eyes containing the vast starry sky.

The author has something to say: Lin Yuyin is so pitiful, I don't dare to abuse her, so I plan to give her a "Yan Shen".

The so-called fate means meeting the person she should meet; I don't know if it was right or wrong for her to meet Yan Shen, maybe she was right, but the process was too painful.

The so-called blessing is to be able to share the joys and sorrows of life with the predestined people.Perhaps in her life, they are predestined people who can walk a certain distance together, but they are not blessed and predestined people.

I remember someone said that people with shallow fate are lucky to meet but pass by; people with deep fate will never leave each other after meeting each other.Some fates can be encountered but not sought, which belong to the upper class fate; some fates can be met but also sought, which belong to the middle class fate;

And theirs, maybe it belongs to the first-class fate, which is hard to come by, and the ending is just sad.Just because fate made a joke with them.
