After shopping for a long time, what attracted Qiuqiu the most was a grocery store. There was everything in it, but nothing was brand new.
Strictly speaking, this is a thrift store. Old clothes, old furniture, old books, old furnishings, fake antiques, etc. are all old. But they are in good condition, and some of them look like new. Of course, there are many in the store.
Old calligraphy and painting books.
Of course, Qiuqiu didn't have such unrealistic dreams. Pulling out a piece of scrap metal from the junk pile turned out to be a so-and-so awesome artifact. From then on, Qiuqiu could summon the wind, rain, gods, and gods to block the killing of gods and Buddhas.
This kind of thing happened in novels in my previous life and also in legends in this life. But the reason why these things only appear in novels and legends shows that the credibility is very low. Secondly, it shows that even if it is true, the probability is probably low.
Ten million, one in a billion.
Qiuqiu scraped so many invoices in her previous life, and only won a five-yuan consolation prize. With her luck, the chance of finding treasure among these second-hand goods is infinitely close to zero.
The second-hand goods have a certain smell. Jingfei stood at the door and didn't like to come in: "What do you want to buy?"
"It's okay. You and senior sister go ahead and wait for me while I look around here."
Jingfei peeked into the store and said, "Then we'll wait for you in the teahouse in front. Come quickly."
Qiuqiu smiled and nodded, and Jinglan asked her, "Do you have enough money?" and forced her to have a money bag.
Qiuqiu began to wander around the store. There were all kinds of things in the store. She didn't know where these things came from. What she was interested in were some old books, although the books in this rural town could not be compared with those in the library on the mountain.
But some books are also very interesting. Qiuqiu picked a few books, and then saw some old scrolls placed behind the stack of books, of different lengths and sizes, with a layer of dust on them. It seemed that no one had touched them for a long time, and the shopkeeper also
I don't have the thought to take care of it.
Qiuqiu picked up a scroll of painting. The tether on it was almost rotten. As soon as he opened the painting, a musty smell hit his nose and itched. Qiuqiu couldn't help turning his face away and beat him hard.
After two big sneezes, I turned my head to look at this painting.
Qiuqiu was stunned.
There are mold spots on the outside of the painting scroll, so the original color cannot be seen, but the painting inside is actually very well preserved.
But that’s not the point. The point is, the scenery in this painting looks familiar!
The lake under the quiet moonlight, the surface of the lake is like a bright mirror, the moon is so round and so low, as if it is about to fall into the lake.
This scene looks so familiar!
Qiuqiu never expected that after searching for it thousands of times, this scenery would actually appear in such a shabby painting.
She was not in the mood to look at anything else, so she went to the shopkeeper with this painting in her arms.
The shopkeeper was an elderly man, taking a nap behind the high counter. After Qiuqiu called out twice, he poked his head out and looked at what was in her hand: "One, two, and five cents of silver."
Qiuqiu stood on tiptoe to pay - her height was really her flaw. After all, she had grown from a three-headed body to a five-headed body. But when she stood here, she realized that she was not as tall as the counter.
"Shopkeeper, where did this painting come from?"
The old man shook his head, took the money, and went back into the counter.
Qiuqiu couldn't find anything, so she could only put the books and paintings into the Qiankun bag and go find Jinglan and Jingfei.
This painting must be related to the place she visited that day. The aura of that space was so rich that it was definitely not an ordinary place. But this painting was buried in such a small thrift store, and she actually picked it up.
A big leak.
Maybe she can find more clues.
Jingfei ordered a table full of pastries, her mouth was so stretched out that it was deformed, her cheeks were bulging, and she waved to her from a distance.
This girl has such a good appetite! She eats both cold and raw foods, sweet, salty, and sour. From the moment Qiuqiu came in to the time she walked to the table, Jingfei stuffed at least three more things into her mouth.
Qiuqiu felt that she was greedy, but Jingfei was even more exaggerated than her.
"How much have you eaten? Be careful of feeling upset in your stomach later."
Jingfei said vaguely: "No, senior sister brought me Digestive Powder."
Well, Qiuqiu has nothing to say.
Jinglan asked: "What did you buy?"
"A few old books, old paintings and so on."
Obviously neither Jinglan nor Jingfei were interested in old books or paintings, so Jinglan didn't ask any more questions.
Jingfei ate enough to feed a cow, and she packed a lot of them and took them back with her, saying that she would give them to her senior brother to try and take the rest back to the mountain to eat slowly.
Qiuqiu did not take out the painting from the Qiankun bag. Firstly, this thing must not be simple. Secondly, the appearance and smell are too bad, and it needs to be tidied up.
It was getting dark outside, and it was already time to turn on the lights. Senior Sister Jinglan made an excuse to go out. Qiuqiu guessed that she was probably going to find Senior Brother Jingyue. Jingfei went to bed early, and she didn't stop all day.
After all the hard work, she was tired enough.
Qiuqiu spread out the paper under the lamp, ground the ink, and traced the painting on the paper again according to memory.
I didn't take a closer look at the thrift store in the afternoon. Qiuqiu is now tracing it and comparing it with the lake in my memory.
Almost exactly the same.
Qiuqiu sat down and looked at the painting inch by inch. The moon, the lake, and the tall old trees were the three most important things in the picture. The most conspicuous thing was the moon, and the largest area was the lake, but the trees
It cannot be ignored. It grows by the lake. I don’t know how many years it has been growing. Its roots are coiled and its green leaves are spreading.
What on earth is this place?
Qiuqiu had no clue at all. She regretted a little. She should search more among the old paintings in the afternoon, and there might be more clues.
It was dark now, but that didn't stop her from going out.
When Qiuqiu pushed the door open and went out, Jingfei was turning over behind her, chewing her lips a few times, maybe eating it again in her dream.
Seen from a distance, the town is very conspicuous in the darkness. Those densely packed buildings, with lights coming out from many windows, made Qiuqiu feel dazed. This is not the case on the mountains. There are very few lights on the mountains, and fluorite is mostly used for lighting.
This is the difference between immortals and mortals. On the one hand, it is deserted and distant, on the other hand, it is lively but short-lived.
Many shops were closed, and only some restaurants and teahouses still had customers. Qiuqiu walked along the street and successfully found the thrift store in the afternoon.
The store is not closed yet, but half of the door has been boarded up.
Qiuqiu stood at the door and saw no one in the store. The shopkeeper didn't know where he was.
She stood at the door and asked, "Is there anyone there?"
After a while, no one answered, so Qiuqiu walked in.

It has been a week since the root canal treatment was done on the tooth, and the filling was also done, but the smell of medicine in my mouth is still so strong, and even getting worse, I really don’t want to go back for a follow-up visit again.
