The Black Dog suddenly pricked up its ears, then suddenly jumped up and stared at the door with its eyes shining. It bared its sharp fangs and let out a low growl from its throat, looking like it was about to bite someone.
There was an exclamation from outside the house, but a moment later, a figure suddenly appeared at the door. It was Lu Chen.
Lu Chen kicked the stupid dog to the ground and scolded, "Stupid dog! This is a guest. If you want to eat meat and bones in the future, you will have to rely on him. Do you want to die? "
"Woo woo …" The low and fierce growl suddenly changed, and the ferocious aura on the Black Dog disappeared in the blink of an eye. It wagged its tail wildly and hummed in a low voice. It ran out of the door and circled the figure outside the door twice, shaking its head and wagging its tail without any integrity to speak of.
"Ah … Ya!"
The person outside the house was shocked at first, then let out a sound of "Huh?", but then burst out laughing. She covered her mouth and laughed, "Why is this dog so fun?"
Lu Chen looked up and saw a young girl about ten years old standing on the bluestone road outside the house. She had almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks, and her skin was as white as snow. Although she had not grown up yet, from the looks of it, she would definitely be a stunning beauty in the future.
At this moment, the little girl looked at the Black Dog jumping around beside her. She seemed to find it very interesting, and she was full of smiles.
There was a soft breeze blowing through the alley, and her red sleeves fluttered in the wind.
At this moment, the spring breeze, the deep alley, and the young girl — this scene was like a beautiful painting.
…
Lu Chen called out to the stupid dog that was jumping around blindly. Then, his gaze fell on the girl's face, and he couldn't help but sigh in admiration in his heart. Although the girl in front of him wasn't very old, her complexion was truly the first time he'd seen someone with such a complexion. It could be said that she was born with a beauty that could cause the downfall of nations and people since she was young.
"Miss, what's the matter?" Lu Chen asked the little girl politely, and at the same time, glanced into the distance of the alley.
There was no one in the alley. She seemed to have come alone.
The girl pointed at the signboard with the words "Black Hill Pavilion" and asked, "Is this a shop?"
Lu Chen was startled for a moment, then he turned around and said, "… I guess so."
The girl nodded with a smile and walked in. At the same time, a pair of bright and clear eyes looked at the simple things in the shop. She was a little curious and a little cautious.
Lu Chen walked back to the counter and asked, "What do you want to buy?"
"Yes." The young lady responded, but she didn't speak immediately. Instead, she glanced at the row of shelves behind the counter.
There were some items on the shelves inside the store. Most of them were the most common and common spirit materials. They looked like they had been there for a long time because many places were covered in dust.
After noticing that the girl's gaze had become a little strange, Lu Chen also turned around to look. When the scene on the shelves fell into his eyes, Lu Chen was also stunned for a moment. Then he turned around and smiled a little awkwardly, saying, "The owner of this shop is very lazy, I've let you see a joke."
"Hey, are you not the shopkeeper of this Black Hill Pavilion?" The girl asked with some surprise and looked around. In this shop, it was obvious that only Lu Chen was looking after the shop.
"I'm not the shopkeeper here." Lu Chen said seriously, "In fact, I am the uncle of the shopkeeper. Today, he went out to buy goods, so I came to help look after the shop."
"Oh, I see." The girl nodded as if she believed him. However, when she looked at the simple appearance of the shop, her face gradually revealed a difficult expression.
Lu Chen asked with a smile, "What do you need? Tell me. If there is, I will show it to you. If there isn't, then there's nothing I can do. Anyways, I can't force you to buy or sell in broad daylight, right?"
The girl smiled again. At that moment, the beauty of the girl hit him in the face, like the clear sky after a storm. There was a refreshing atmosphere.
"I want to buy some Cang Jue Zi."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Cang Jue Zi, wait, let me see if there is any."
"Hmm, okay." The girl smiled.
Lu Chen searched the shelves and finally found this relatively common spirit material in a shelf. He put it on the counter and said, "There really is … If it was anything else, I wouldn't give it to you. But this spirit material, Cang Jue Zi, is taken from the seed. There is a hard shell on the outside and it will not spoil after ten years. You should be able to use it."
The girl thought about it and nodded. "Yes, that is true. My master also said so. Alright then, I'll buy ten. "
"Okay." Lu Chen picked out ten Cang Jue Zi that looked good. He found a cloth and wiped them clean. Then, he wrapped them in paper and handed them to the girl.
The girl smiled sweetly and took the paper bag. As she put it away, she reached into her pocket and said, "How much … ah?"
Suddenly, she exclaimed and her expression changed. It was as if she was stunned.
Lu Chen looked at her and said, "What is it?"
The girl's cheeks flushed red. Her skin looked white and rosy, adding to her beauty. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "I, I seem to have forgotten to bring money."
"Oh, I see …" Lu Chen sighed. This business was too difficult.
There was hesitation on the girl's face. After a moment, she said awkwardly to Lu Chen, "Uncle, I have an urgent need for this Cang Jue Zi. Can I take it first? I will have someone send the money later …"
Halfway through her words, she suddenly found that Lu Chen was staring at her with a strange expression. She couldn't help but lower her voice. A moment later, she couldn't help but ask, "Can't I?"
Lu Chen coughed and didn't answer. He asked instead, "What did you call me just now?"
The girl stilled and said, "Uncle … you are so old, you are the uncle of the shopkeeper here."
"Oh … okay!" Lu Chen shook his head and then said seriously to the girl, "No, you cannot owe money for the goods!"
The girl was shocked. She seemed to want to say something but her face seemed to become even redder. She said in a low voice, "I, I am not that kind of person … I said I will return it, I will definitely return it!"
That grace of lowering her head was enough to intoxicate people without drinking. Her watery eyes were enough to make the world fall for her.
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "You can't."
The girl looked sadly at him and could only put the paper bag in her hand back on the counter. Then she turned and walked out.
Just as she was about to reach the door, Lu Chen's voice suddenly came from behind her. "Hey! Your money bag is gone. "
The girl's footsteps suddenly stopped. Looking back, she saw that Lu Chen had walked out from behind the counter. At the same time, he was holding a small red bag with a flower embroidered with gold thread.
"Ah … I was wondering where the money bag went!" The girl's beautiful eyes widened and she quickly walked over. She said with a giggle and then reached out to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen let her grab the small bag but he didn't let go. The girl pulled and was somewhat surprised. She looked at Lu Chen and said, "Uncle, why don't you let go?"
Lu Chen said, "I can return the money bag to you, but you should also return the Cang Jue Zi in your sleeve to me." As he spoke, he didn't look at the girl's suddenly stiff smile. He sighed and said, "Also, don't call me uncle. It sounds weird."
