Trafford Buyers Club

Chapter 1 Buying and Selling

Strictly speaking, Luo Qiu is not an orphan because he has legal guardians and relatives.

That's the continuation of the father, or to put it simply, the stepmother.

It's definitely a stepmother...

However, similar topics did not appear in Luo Qiu's mouth or in his life.

Because looking at the woman who would work hard for her day and night, and who seemed to want to give her mother's love no matter what, Luo Qiu still agreed.

Of course, if it wasn't for the owner of the added name in the household registration book, this woman who has her own legal 'mother', is the best time in a woman's life, Luo Qiu thinks that he may be more willing to cry out 'mother' '.

Humans are creatures who are accustomed to or accustomed to escaping from sadness, as well as the people around them.

In theory, no one should desire to be alone.

"But why, would I crave it?"

Luo Qiu wrote the words 'going out' on a post-it note, and then posted it on the door of the refrigerator, and went out before the weather became hot.

On weekends, there are no classes in the university, he just wants to be alone and quiet, that's all.

……

……

The streets in the morning have become lively.

Probably the reason for going out early on the weekend.

Fathers and daughters plan to go to play, old women walk along the river bank holding hands, some people plan to exercise on the weekends to feel the vitality of life, and some people start a day's livelihood.

Forms of people appeared in Luo Qiu's sight, and then disappeared, just like the actors on the stage in the Grand Opera House, as if they were born to be the top actors, playing their roles.

Luo Qiu is accustomed to observing but not accustomed to speaking. He wants to find out what people are thinking, but he does not want to be in too much contact with people.

What is it?

Belated youth tangled conflict period?

I just want to be alone... The neighborhood began to become lively, Luo Qiu shook his head and walked towards the pedestrian street of shops that should not be officially open.

It should be quieter now, maybe find one or two pedestrians, and take a good look at it, right?

Plugging in the earphones on the phone and listening to songs that are not very popular, Luo Qiu has walked into the pedestrian street unknowingly.

As he expected, most of the shops here are not open, or half-opened. Occasionally, there are shops that are already open, and they are only one or two shops selling breakfast bread and so on.

Luo Qiu bought two buns and sat up on the bench at the edge of the street... No one seemed to be paying attention to him, even though he looked so weird alone.

- 'Trafford Buyers Club' -

With such a name, it suddenly entered Luo Qiu's line of sight.

It doesn't mean that you can remember everything around you, but if it's a shop with such an odd name, it should have some impressions, right?

The signboard is pieced together after dividing the characters one by one. The entire facade is a wooden structure. On the left is an oil lamp that looks very European-style. As for the other side, it is a relatively clear window.

Barely able to see some knickknacks in the window, they attracted Luo Qiu to walk in.

Dressed in gorgeous dolls, small pendulum clocks that seem to have stopped turning, and grizzly-like claws of art, tattered but attractive-looking bucket hats.

"Guest, do you need to come in and take a look?"

Just as Luo Qiu stopped at the window to observe these strange decorations, a voice suddenly appeared beside him.

It was an unusually pale girl, and her appearance seemed to be similar to his grade.

Black and white, the timeless shades of gothic maid attire, overall look like a woman with morbid beauty.But Luo Qiu didn't have more time to pay attention to these.

Looking at the other party's sapphire blue eyes, it is really charming, it is like a gem, a gem with strange magic.

It's like a vortex.

When Luo Qiu reflected, he had already walked into this strange club.He didn't even know how he got in.

It's like the feeling in a movie when the screen suddenly switches.

"Guest, please have some tea."

With sapphire eyes and a slender figure, the girl in the gothic maid uniform that was not uncommon in this era brought Luo Qiu a cup of flower tea.

"Luoshenhua can make your guests feel at ease. Only when people feel at ease can they think of what they need."

"Oh...you're the only one in this shop?"

I really can't think of what to say, but now that he has come in inexplicably, Luo Qiu simply goes with the flow, just to see if he doesn't consume, it's not a particularly rare thing.

It's just this strange shop that makes Luo Qiu curious differently than before.

Although he walked in, he still didn't know what was going on here.

"No, Master will come out to discuss with you soon." The girl smiled and walked into the inner hall.

Owner?Interested in the boss?

Coco...

Shaking his head, Luo Qiu began to look at everything here.

It seems to be a continuation of the style of the window outside. They are all weird and should be completely out of tune, but they don't feel awkward when they are placed like this, but they look mysterious.

The place where the shop is used to entertain guests is like those Western divination houses that Luo Qiu has seen. The overall tone is dim, and the lighting is not even incandescent, but a white light that is well inserted above the candlestick. long candles.

It seems that the boss really put a lot of thought into this.

The waiting time was somewhat beyond Luo Qiu's estimate, but curiosity made him wait.It's just that the attention has been drawn to the things on the display cabinets around me.

Those were two beads that were fixed up and down with brackets, crimson red, like some kind of gemstone, and then enclosed in a delicate glass container.

For some reason, Luo Qiu imagined them as the moon in the night sky.But thinking about how there were two moons in the sky, and they were still crimson, Luo Qiu couldn't help but smile.

"Do you like this pair of 'Crimson Moon'?"

Finally, I heard another voice besides the girl, it seemed that it was the so-called boss who refused to come out.

Luo Qiu turned around and saw a well-dressed middle-aged man—to be more precise, it should be a foreign middle-aged man.

Unlike the maid clerk, his eyes are cloudy gray... and, speaking the language here, seems to be very fluent.If you don't look at him, you probably can't think of it as a foreigner, right?
In addition, he is a very handsome uncle, which is also very eye-catching...

"I'm just looking." Luo Qiu replied subconsciously.

The boss, like the maid clerk, gave Luo Qiu a mysterious color.

At this moment, the boss smiled slightly, walked to the display cabinet, and gently held out the glass container.

He looked at Luo Qiu and said, "This kind of 'crimson moon' is something that only members of a tribe living on the ancient Latin American continent possess. Once the members of this tribe have unbearable sadness or anger, Or when it is joy, the eyeballs will change into this beautiful crimson. And, under the night moon, it will release a wonderful brilliance. Of course, this tribe is extinct... because of these beautiful eyeballs . This may be the only 'Crimson Moon' that has survived in the world."

Is this the eyeball?

Luo Qiu was stunned for a moment, feeling that he was listening to a very nonsense story, and what was even more nonsense was that he actually listened to it all.

But feeling that the boss's way of appearing is a bit special, Luo Qiu instead asked: "Since it is such a precious thing, how much do you plan to sell, boss?"

The boss chuckled: "This requires the customer to set the price yourself. Because this is a buyer's club... So, if you want to get this pair of 'Crimson Moon', please come up with what the customer thinks is suitable. In addition, add For one thing, we don't accept any form of currency."

So... this is a strange shop of Shenjingbing opened by the owner of Shenjingbing?

"Don't like it?"

The boss didn't seem to be disappointed, he put the things away, and enthusiastically pulled Luo Qiu to sit down again, "Then let's talk, what do you want to buy as a guest."

"What do you want to buy..." Luo Qiu said with a smile, "I don't even know what it's selling here."

Shaking his head, Luo Qiu stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have anything I want to buy... Of course, this store is very special. I should come and visit again if I'm free."

"You can buy anything, as long as you want, you can buy anything... Of course, you need to pay enough for the customer. So... what do you want as a customer?"

The boss just sat quietly, with extraordinary confidence and smile, silently looking at Luo Qiu.

It seems that today is not as boring as usual.

Luo Qiu looked at the boss's eyes, lost for a while.

What exactly do you want?
Luo Qiu thought about this question subconsciously... The surroundings became quiet, so quiet that Luo Qiu felt a sense of peace of mind.

Here... it's like being in another world, and you can see the pedestrians outside... but the pedestrians outside seem to never notice its existence.

So lonely watching, watching, watching...

"This place...I want, this place."

Luo Qiu slowly expressed his thoughts at this time.

Of course, in just a moment, he seemed to wake up, feeling that everything here was unbelievable, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The boss's expression suddenly became weird, it seemed to be joy, it seemed to be anticipation, but even more... urgent.

"Dear guest, one of the rules of the 'Trafford Buyers Club', when you say what you want, the transaction goes into the process. If you don't say what you want to pay, it will be up to me to set the price. So... as you wish. I will sell you the Trafford Buyers Club for your freedom as a bargain..."

The world seemed to be turned upside down, with darkness swallowing all sides.

In front of Luo Qiu, an ancient sheepskin scroll was slowly unfolding. He couldn't even read the text on the parchment scroll, but he saw his name appear on it little by little.

Then, it burns.

Burn quickly.

Darkness engulfed him.
