"Welcome to visit us next time~" The clerk in the clothing store sent Wen Sengyu and the others out enthusiastically.
Wen Sengyu and Wan Qian each held several bags of clothing and swaggered down the street in couple's outfits, which was very eye-catching.
Although Wan Qian has the squeamishness of a young lady, she never makes it difficult for others to do anything within her power. Just like the clothes she bought this time, even though Wen Sengyu insisted on helping her carry them, she was rejected.
On the way, Wen Sengyu told Wan Qian that the children's supplies store mentioned by the clerk just happened to be in the direction Xiao Xiaobin and the others were going, so Wen Sengyu and Wan Qian also walked in that direction.
"Damn it, you two are going to die!" Hua Mulin came towards me from a distance. "I also said that whoever shows off affection here in such a high profile is simply blind."
Wen Sengyu winked at Hua Mulin, telling him to shut up.
"What's wrong~ I can't wear couple costumes with my literary brother anymore~ Humph!" Wan Qian said.
"It's not...it's just that you guys are too conspicuous." Hua Mulin said helplessly.
"Why are you here? Aren't you with Li Ming?" Wen Sengyu said to Hua Mulin.
Hua Mulin patted his forehead and said, "I almost forgot! I'm here to ask you to go and have a look. There is a weird store over there."
Wen Sengyu and the others followed Hua Mulin to the "weird" store. He could tell at a glance that this was the store that the clerk in the clothing store mentioned before.
Walking into the store, Wen Sengyu understood the weirdness Hua Mulin was referring to. It was true that children's supplies were sold here, but they were all for dead people.
Paper toys, paper clothes, paper playmates, all the products are made of paper.
Wen Sengyu glanced at Wan Qian next to him and said, "This is the store the clerk just mentioned."
"No wonder she was so calm when you mentioned children's products. It's because of this." Wan Qian said calmly.
Xiao Xiaobin was discussing something with his boss inside, and Wen Sengyu walked over to listen.
"Give me a cheaper house! You see, it's not easy for everyone."
Xiao Xiaobin seemed to be bargaining with the boss inside for a house made of paper.
"If you can't negotiate the price, just do as I just said. It's the same for everyone." A man who looked fierce said.
Although she didn't know what the conditions were for them to negotiate, Wan Qian still walked over and said coyly: "Boss, you see that I'm so pitiful, why can't we just talk~"
"No chance, no need to discuss." The man had no intention of compromising at all, and even Wan Qian could not save his life.
But he turned to look at Wen Sengyu, pointed at him and said, "If that handsome guy comes to discuss it with me, I can still consider it."
? ? ?
Wen Sengyu looked horrified, this big brother has a very strong taste.
Wan Qian turned around and winked at Wen Sengyu, signaling him to come over and please the man.
Wen Sengyu walked over helplessly, forced out an extremely ugly smile and said: "Um...brother, if you think it's a good idea, sell it to us cheaper."
The man came over and put his hand on Wen Sengyu's shoulder, then rubbed it seductively and said, "Okay, everything is easy to discuss!"
Seeing this, Xiao Xiaobin hurriedly came over and continued: "Then the conditions we agreed on before will be followed?"
He hugged Wen Sengyu back.
"Okay, but it must be within the prescribed time."
The store manager stared at Wen Sengyu with lustful eyes again, and then entered the room inside.
Then Wen Sengyu and the others also walked out of the store.
"Brother Sengyu is indeed outstanding and can attract anyone~" Wan Qian said with a snicker.
"Okay, please stop teasing me." Wen Sengyu looked helpless. Then he turned to Xiao Xiaobin and the others and said, "What is going on here? What are you talking about?"
Xiao Xiaobin pulled Wen Sengyu and the others aside and said cautiously: "When we came in just now, we thought this was just an ordinary paper shop, but later we found out that all the items sold here were things for children. Then I Let Hua Mulin search carefully, maybe there will be some breakthrough."
Xiao Xiaobin looked around again while speaking, for fear that someone would disturb them, and then continued: "In the end, he actually found a box locked on a high shelf. Inside the box is the small house you just saw. I I think this house is very unusual because it has the words "Orphanage" written on it."
Hearing the word "orphanage", Wen Sengyu's nerves became tense again. He also realized that this paper house was certainly extraordinary, but it was definitely not that easy to get.
"What was his original exchange condition?" Wen Sengyu asked.
"In exchange for the secrets in the delivery room of the orphanage, although I think this matter will have to be investigated sooner or later, it is difficult to break through with the current clues." Xiao Xiaobin replied.
"What about the current conditions?" Wen Sengyu continued to ask.
"In exchange for the secrets of the commercial street." After Xiao Xiaobin finished speaking, he continued to observe every move of the people around him.
"What's the secret of the commercial street?" Wen Sengyu asked doubtfully.
But at this time, Bian Han came over with Zhou Shiya and interrupted their conversation.
"Are you also investigating the clues?" Zhou Shiya saw Wen Sengyu and the others saying, but Bian Han glared at her. It seemed that Bian Han was very sensitive and not so easy to get along with.
"I'm just shopping~" Wan Qian replied naturally, and picked up the bag in her hand and shook it.
"Miss, did you buy the clothes you're wearing from here?" Zhou Shiya suddenly said excitedly.
Wan Qian raised her head proudly, pointed at Wen Sengyu's clothes and said, "Yes, little sister~ His clothes were also bought here~"
After getting the answer, Zhou Shiya looked angry and excited. She turned to Bian Han and said, "Look, I just said I wanted to go in and have a look! This dress is so beautiful."
Bian Han ignored him, but glanced up and down at the four Wen Sengyu in front of him: "Why don't you quickly investigate the clues and go shopping leisurely?"
"What the hell!" Xiao Xiaobin said unfriendlyly from the side.
When Wen Sengyu saw this, he stood in front of Xiao Xiaobin, fearing that he would do something else.
"Brother, he always speaks straightforwardly. Of course we are looking for clues, but we don't have any clues now, so we are wandering around." Wen Sengyu has a high emotional intelligence and resolved the quarrel that should have happened.
"Let's go, I don't have much to say to them." Bian Han pulled Zhou Shiya away from them.
Before leaving, Wan Qian also said to Zhou Shiya: "If you want to buy clothes next time, remember to call me~"
"What do you think of that man's attitude? It's like we owe him money!" Xiao Xiaobin was furious.
"You, I have long heard from An He that you can't calm down. Now I have seen it." Wan Qian said.
"Lunch break! Thank you after closing the door! Lunch break! Thank you after closing the door!"
An old man was riding an electric bicycle in the distance, holding a loudspeaker in his hand and playing these words repeatedly.
Wen Sengyu and the others saw that people around them were quickening their pace to leave the street after hearing the announcement, so he grabbed a passerby and asked: "Hello, may I ask what is going on and why are you in such a hurry."
After being caught, the man became more panicked and said, "Let me go first, it will be too late."
But Wen Sengyu's hand became tighter and said, "I will never let go until you tell me."
Seeing that Wen Sengyu was so determined, the man said: "You are from outside, right? We have a rule here. It is lunch break from 2 to 5 pm. Everyone must go home and close the doors and windows. They are not allowed to go out, especially If you can’t come to this street, you should go back quickly!”
After saying that, the man looked at Wen Sengyu with pleading eyes, and Wen Sengyu also let go of his hand.
"Closed doors and windows? Can't leave the house yet? Is this the secret of the commercial street?" Wen Sengyu said thoughtfully.
"Then let's go back first. We still have to abide by the rules. We can discuss countermeasures when we get back." Wan Qian said.
After reaching a consensus, the four people also stepped up and walked towards the hotel. They didn't know what time it was, so they could only go back and look at their watches.
After arriving at the hotel, they learned from the clock at the front desk that it was already 1:40 pm, and there were still 20 minutes before the access time. However, the front desk was empty at this time, and they could not get any more information from the front desk.
One after another, more people returned to the hotel. It was getting closer and closer to lunch break, and the four of them also returned to Wen Sengyu's room.
Hua Mulin became cautious after returning to the room and whispered: "Brother Bin and I should go back to our own rooms. The rule is not so clear."
"You don't have to speak so quietly." Xiao Xiaobin complained. "But it's really prudent and delicate. Let's contact you by phone later. We all know the room number anyway."
Wen Sengyu nodded, and then said: "I don't know what secrets are hidden behind this commercial street. We need to investigate this clearly first."
After Xiao Xiaobin and the others left the room, the time pointed to 2 o'clock. The moment it reached the hour, the world outside the door was silent, and everyone held their breath to listen to what would happen outside.
Sure enough, after a minute, a child's cry came from the direction of the street. The sound was extremely miserable and mixed, as if more than ten children were crying at the same time.
"Where is mom? I'm looking for mom!" Along with the crying, there were childish cries, but of course no one paid attention to this voice and allowed it to develop.
"At this time, a child's voice came out." Wen Sengyu said softly.
Wan Qian also put on a puzzled expression, as if she was trying to find some clues from the voice.
"Brother Sengyu, don't you think these sounds are strange?" Wan Qian asked.
"Strange? What's weird?" Wen Sengyu didn't hear any difference, but the next second he seemed to find the strange thing Wan Qian said, that is, the cries were mixed with the voices of some adults.
He was about to turn back to confirm with Wan Qian, but found that Wan Qian was motionless, as if time had stopped.
"Wanqian? Wanqian? Are you talking?" Wen Sengyu pushed Wanqian, and it turned out to be motionless. At this time, he wanted to open the curtains and see if the world outside was also frozen.
Boom, boom, boom! ! !
Several loud knocks were heard outside the door, but the knocks were coming from far below the door, and soon there were very short people knocking on the door.
After a few seconds, the knocking stopped, and there was a knocking from the room opposite.
Wen Sengyu moved carefully to the peephole at the door, wanting to look out to see what was going on.
Through the peephole, Wen Sengyu saw a child in a suit and leather collar knocking on the door opposite.
Just when he wanted to take a closer look, the child's neck suddenly stretched out, his head twisted directly, and his face was facing Wen Sengyu's cat's eye, with a scary smile on his face.
A random smile turned into a cry as he asked, "Have you seen my mother?"
Wen Sengyu was so frightened that he took a step back and happened to step on Wan Qian's foot. Then Wan Qian suddenly screamed: "Ahhhh! Don't you watch it carefully? It will hurt someone if you step on it!"
"Damn it, you scared me. When did you wake up?" Wen Sengyu was startled again by Wan Qian's sudden awakening.
"What are you talking about? I'm always awake?" Wan Qian looked at Wen Sengyu in confusion.
Then she continued to ask: "What were you looking at just now? So fascinated."
Only then did Wen Sengyu think of the children outside, and quickly covered his mouth with his hands, and also covered Wan Qian's mouth: "Shh, there's a kid outside!"
Wan Qian rolled her eyes helplessly. She thought to herself, even if there was something outside, she would have heard the conversation inside the door. What's the use of covering her mouth at this time?
