In November in Spring City, the temperature drops sharply.
Yesterday, there was still a lot of confusion in the streets, and there were even young people wearing T-shirts and long shirts.
But today, when we come together, the whole city becomes uniform in dress code.
They all put on thick clothes.
Even though Lu Qinghan has stayed in Chuncheng for several years, he is still not used to the changeable weather in Chuncheng.
She drove her red sports car and turned into the old streets of Spring City.
But soon, there was no way out.
Lu Qinghan was not born and raised in Chuncheng. Her business is here, and her sister's job is also here.
I simply stayed here most of the time.
In fact, Spring City is quite good, but the people here love spicy food too much.
Like the weather here, she is not used to it either.
This was the first time Lu Qinghan set foot in this old city.
Compared with the new urban area, it's like two different worlds.
She sighed and parked the car on the side of the road.
Wearing red high heels, she opened the car door and stepped down with one foot.
Puff.
My feet stepped into the sewage.
"It's disgusting!"
The girl was so disgusted that she wrinkled her beautiful eyebrows: "What the hell is this place? How did the municipal engineering work be done? It's too dirty."
She complained as she walked forward along the stone pavement on the street.
I feel guilty for Gulu.
Because her sister asked her to help her do something that was said to be very important on the phone.
He also said many things that were unbelievable to me.
Even the address of the paper fire shop that she was asked to find came from a dream.
How can I deal with this?
To help or not to help?
But it's just a dream. Is it worth taking a special trip for her to take a day off?
As a staunch atheist and materialist, Lu Qinghan dismissed and sneered at his sister's so-called dreams.
But I couldn't bear my sister's pleading, and even if she didn't come, my sister would insist on coming out of the hospital by herself.
How could she be willing to let her sister, who had just recovered from a long illness, be discharged from the hospital now?
So, she came anyway.
But this place is really dirty.
Lu Qinghan had never been to such a dirty and messy place in his life.
The buildings on this street are in a mess, and they haven't been rebuilt for I don't know how many years.
It still maintains an overly antique look.
As far as the naked eye can see, there are still old dilapidated brick buildings.
The sewage pipes on the ground have long been blocked, allowing sewage to flow across the street.
Lu Qinghan felt like walking on this old street was like watching a period movie.
And the main color is still gray.
Lu Qinghan tried her best to avoid the sewage on the road, which made her physically disgusted.
After searching for a long time, going around and around, the girl could never find the paper fire shop her sister mentioned.
"Sure enough, it's just a dream. There probably isn't a paper fire shop in this place."
Lu Qinghan curled his lips.
I was going to look for it for a while, and if I still couldn't find it, I would go back.
It can be considered that I tried my best and gave my sister an explanation.
I turned a corner and saw an old man passing by.
This was the first person she saw on this remote street.
Lu Qinghan quickly went over and asked the old man: "Grandpa, have you ever heard of a shop called Uncle Kang's Paper Fire Shop nearby?"
The old man saw that her fashionable dress was out of tune with this old street, but he did not show any surprise.
Instead, he pointed to a small alley not far away with a smile: "Girl, you are also here to see Uncle Kang's paper fire shop? This paper fire shop is very busy recently. But you are going the wrong way, you have to start here first
Go through it and then turn right."
‘Is there really such a paper fire shop?’
Lu Qinghan was a little surprised. After thanking the old man, he followed the path he told him.
Sure enough, not long after, I finally saw a sign among a group of depressed shops.
——Kang Shu Paper Fire Shop.
The business scope is also written below the signboard.
Paper money, scented wax, hexagrams, armor and horses, praying to gods, exorcising evil spirits, and feng shui.
The business is quite comprehensive.
It's just that the signboard of this paper fire shop is dark and inconspicuous. The characters are ancient and vicissitudes of life, giving people a lifeless and desolate feeling.
Moreover, this store is hidden in a building, with a recess, making it easy to walk by without paying attention. It's like the owner of the store is afraid of attracting other people's attention.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it's a serious business.
The most important thing is that the rolling shutter door is still closed!
"The store is closed?"
Lu Qinghan was stunned.
She reluctantly put her ear to it and listened carefully.
There were sounds of people moving behind the rolling shutter door, and coughing could be heard from time to time.
The girl immediately frowned again.
This shop owner’s business is so funny. What kind of business is he doing?
People are here, but the door is still closed?
As a professional elite, Lu Qinghan was extremely disdainful of this.
She was thinking about various business models in her mind.
Based on experience, this paper fire shop probably won’t do much business.
Otherwise, why should it be closed?
"Forget it, you're already here, let's go in and take a look first."
In fact, Lu Qinghan was still a little curious.
What dream did my sister have? Why did this paper and fire shop really exist at the address in the dream?
Stretching out her hand, the girl knocked on the rolling shutter door.
Bang bang bang.
The rolling shutter door made a crisp sound.
But what made Lu Qinghan depressed was that no one at the door responded to her, or even ignored her.
"What the hell, someone obviously didn't open the door on purpose. This is such a bad attitude towards customers!"
Lu Qinghan curled his lips, how could he be so angry with his explosive personality?
He lifted his legs and kicked him a few times without any courtesy.
The rolling shutter door made a loud noise.
These legs really work.
The rolling shutter door opened a corner with a clang.
An old man, hunched over and coughing, stuck his head out.
He looked around with his head.
Lu Qinghan was overjoyed and said quickly: "Old man, I'm here..."
Before she could finish her words, the hunchbacked old man glared at her and pointed to a place beside the rolling shutter door without saying a word.
Lu Qinghan looked over in astonishment.
I saw a note taped next to the door.
There is a line of words written in black letters on a white background: Paper fire shop business, please take a detour and line up behind the alley.
'Queue? For such a shabby shop, do you still need to queue?'
Lu Qinghan smiled awkwardly: "Old man, if I give you some more money, can you skip the queue?"
The old man didn't bother to pay attention to her at all. With a crash, he mercilessly pulled the rolling shutter door shut again.
Lu Qinghan was left alone, messy in the wind.
"It's so rude. Is this how this store treats its customers?"
The girl was so angry that she stamped her feet vigorously.
She has never encountered such bad service attitude.
If she had had her previous character, she would have turned around and left long ago.
But this is my sister's request.
And the address in my sister’s dream did have an identical paper and fire shop.
Even the names are correct, no word is missing, and no word is missing.
Lu Ze admitted that this had aroused her curiosity.
"Never mind it, I'm just going to queue up and see what the hell is going on in this store? There's probably no one queuing up in such a shabby place."
Lu Qinghan curled her lips and stepped on her high heels with high energy.
Follow the direction pointed by the note and go around.
After rounding a big bend, we entered a smaller alley.
This alley is even dirtier.
It was narrow and dark, and the various wires above the head were as dense as a spider web, completely covering the sky.
Even during the day, it looked eerie.
"This place is still engaged in the business of exorcising evil spirits and inviting gods. I'm not surprised that ghosts are attracted here."
Complaints are complaints, when Lu Qinghan turned to the front of the alley and looked forward.
Chapter completed!
