As soon as they came into view, they saw an extraordinary young man looking directly at the two of them.
"Little shopkeeper!"
"Shopkeeper Chen!"
After a moment of astonishment, the two people quickly put down what they were doing and stood up to greet him.
Not seeing each other for more than twenty years, Aaron, Ahu, and Bao have all entered middle age, but only Liangchen’s appearance has not changed much, so with just one glance, the two of them immediately recognized the little shopkeeper who had been away for a long time!
"Along Ahu!" Liangchen responded, slowly stroking the familiar wooden counter with one hand, but his eyes kept looking around.
The position of the counter in the shop has not changed at all, and the general furnishings are still the same as before. Only the faces of the three waiters are covered with the marks of time, and the temples have turned gray-brown.
"You're finally back!" Ahu couldn't hide his shock, staring at Liangchen and looking up and down.
"Shopkeeper Chen...where have you been all these years? The Koshi clan has almost searched through the Demon Dragon City, but there is no trace of you." Aaron tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart, and tried to use a calm tone. asked.
"Alas~ Shopkeeper Chen was kidnapped by the two goblins of the Yan family. It took him several years to escape, only to find that he was no longer in Zhongzhou. He went through all kinds of hardships before returning to Demon Dragon City!" Liangchen remained silent without answering. , Abao stepped forward and said through gritted teeth.
"As expected! The old shopkeeper's guess is almost accurate!" Aaron sighed after hearing the sound.
"In order to find you, the old shopkeeper didn't even agree to the clan calling him back to take care of himself. He stayed in the Demon Dragon City until his death six years ago." Ahu also shook his head and said sadly.
"Hey~ who is the shopkeeper in the shop now?" Liangchen felt even more uncomfortable when he heard this, and he sighed and asked.
"After the old shopkeeper left, the business here has been deserted. There is not even ten percent of the usual shopkeeper. Therefore, the clan did not send a new shopkeeper here. I was only asked to briefly record the accounts. The younger ones were thinking... I'm afraid this The shop will be evacuated at any time." Aaron also felt a little disappointed on his brows.
"But it's better now! Now that shopkeeper Chen is back, he will definitely lead us to revive the former glory of the Ye Family Arms Shop!" Ahu said happily looking at Liangchen.
"Haha, Ah Hu, do you know that shopkeeper Chen is already a senior in the Jindan realm. Once he returns to the Hui clan, he will definitely be appointed as an elder. How can he be the shopkeeper of a weapon shop here!" A Bao smiled with a hint of joking expression. said.
"ah!"
"real or fake?"
"Golden elixir realm!"
The two people exclaimed when they heard the sound, and their expressions were even more exaggerated than when they saw Liangchen returning. They almost thought they heard wrongly!
"Of course it's true!" Abao replied as if he was proud.
"Congratulations to Elder Chen!" Aaron immediately raised his hands and congratulated him, while Ahu next to him seemed to be shocked by the news and was stunned for a moment.
"Manager Chen, your room is still there and has not been disturbed." Abao said from the side.
"Oh~ What a joy!" Liangchen sighed, looking a little depressed, and strolled through the hall towards the backyard.
The first thing that catches the eye is a bright red peach tree. Under the tree, the small bluestone table and stone benches seem to be motionless under the mottled shadow of the trees.
It is spring at this time, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom, swaying slightly under the sunlight, as if smiling faces are welcoming guests home.
Seeing the peach blossoms in full bloom and lush foliage, his face brightened slightly. He paused for a moment and walked through the small courtyard towards the second floor. He pushed the door open and walked in, as if he had just gone to the fire workshop to refine a few weapons before leaving the city. return.
The furnishings in the room remained the same, simple and elegant. He sat quietly and didn't know what he was thinking. After a cup of tea, he got up and walked around the refining room. After looking at everything, he walked to the tree in the courtyard. Next, I sat on the stone bench and fell into deep thought again...
After a moment, Abao walked over quickly, holding a letter in his hand.
"When the old shopkeeper was dying, he left a letter for you. He asked me to give it to you if I can wait until you come back."
Hearing the sound, Liangchen retracted his thoughts, slowly took the letter, and unfolded it gently:
"My nephew, if you can see this letter, you must have returned safely! I wish you could have this day! I'm happy to have this day!"
"I just don't know when you saw this letter. After all, you have disappeared for almost twenty years."
"Oh~ I still remember that when you first arrived at Demon Dragon City, I scolded you several times, saying that the world was dangerous and people's hearts were treacherous, but you always thought I was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Did you know that I once had a child who went missing in a ghost cave with others because he believed his friend’s words? I didn’t expect that you still didn’t listen to me despite all my warnings, and that’s why this disaster happened! "
"But now that you have returned, you are considered a great blessing among the misfortunes! I hope you will remember this lesson and move more steadily for the rest of your life."
"In the years since you disappeared, I have often blamed myself. I have also traveled to several cities around Molong Ridge, and I have also visited several shops of the Yan family, but I have found nothing. But I have discovered that you are not the only missing person. One, those craftsmen who were recruited with huge sums of money never came back. Those who dare to kidnap people so wantonly must have huge power behind them.
Unfortunately, despite my best efforts, I still have trouble finding the truth. However, in the process of searching, I found that there are other forces looking for you. I have also exchanged information with them. Although I cannot determine who is behind the scenes, since you disappeared with the Yan family, they must be involved. But Yan Family has closed all its stores around Magic Dragon City, so I can only do nothing. "
"If you can come back this time, you must have the answer in your heart. If it is really the Yan family, I hope you can forget this grudge and don't get entangled. After all, the Yan family is powerful and cannot be touched by our Ye family."
"On the way forward, remember my words, safety comes first! May you have a stable life!
I'm gone! "
A breeze blew by, and a few peach blossom petals floated down. When Liangchen looked at the handwriting, he felt a little blurry.
This is exactly:
That year, the sword dance among the peach blossoms, the branches were swaying and the flowers were falling gracefully,
Now the old friend rides a crane away, the petals are like tears and still cover his eyes.
