Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

"What are you writing? I see that you seem to be working very hard. Can you let me take a look?"

Xu Wanning: I hate people who have no sense of boundaries.

She closed the notebook and put it into the shoulder bag she was carrying: "Sorry, this is my personal and private thing."

"That's really a pity." She said regretful words, but shrugged nonchalantly, walked back to her bed, rummaged through the package she brought with her for a long time, and finally took it out. A wilted apple was wiped with a handkerchief and handed to Xu Wanning: "Please eat the apple."

These days, fruit is not easy to come by.

Although this apple doesn't look very fresh, it's still worth a few cents.

"No thanks."

"By the way, my name is Haitang, what's your name?"

Xu Wanning stared deeply at the girl who called herself Haitang and did not answer.

This girl is a little too familiar, and Xu Wanning is already in a irritable mood and doesn't want to waste time and energy chatting with others.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Haitang was not angry and kept staring at Xu Wanning.

Xu Wanning didn't care about her prying eyes and just sat by the window reading a book.

The books were still found by Father Chen with help, books about agriculture. When it came to her major, Xu Wanning quickly got involved and put Lin An's affairs in her heart for the time being.

It was not until the afternoon meal that Xu Wanning took out a lunch box from her bag and prepared to eat.

Because sitting across from her was Haitang, who was always trying to talk to her. Xu Wanning always felt that her every move was under the prying eyes of others. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she did not take out the hot food from the space. .

This lunch box was the one she put in her bag just now, just for now.

As soon as Xu Wanning opened the lunch box, she heard an exclamation from Haitang opposite.

"No wonder you didn't eat the apple I gave you. Look at your sumptuous lunch. It's much better than ordinary people's."

As Haitang spoke, he took off a string of black beads from his wrist.

"This is a gift from my grandfather. It is said to be very valuable. Can I exchange this string of beads for your food now?" Haitang was afraid that Xu Wanning would refuse, so she did not forget to add: "Don't worry, I will never let it happen." If you suffer a loss, I will pay for it!"

As she spoke, she took out two dollars and placed them in front of Xu Wanning, then pressed the beads on them: "Do you think this will work?"

Xu Wanning subconsciously wanted to refuse.

After spending several hours in the same box as Haitang, she instinctively disliked this girl.

But before she could say her refusal, when her eyes glanced at the black bead string in front of her, Xu Wanning had already reached her lips and changed the subject: "Okay. But I only have one box lunch, and it's not the same as this one." They're all the same, I don't know if they suit your taste."

"You show it to me first."

Xu Wanning gave another aluminum lunch box to Haitang. When Haitang opened it and took a look, she immediately exclaimed: "It's really in line with my taste. I'll exchange it with you."

This lunch box contains two taels of rice, two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish, but the portions of each dish are not large, and you can find it even for two yuan.

However, Haitang also gave Xu Wanning a string of beads, which looked a little unusual.

"It's delicious. Can I continue to trade with you tomorrow?"

"I have to get off at Haicheng Station at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, so I didn't prepare lunch."

"What a coincidence, I also got off at Haicheng Station." Haitang took a big mouthful of rice, swallowed it whole, and asked inarticulately: "Where in Haicheng are you going? Someone will pick me up from the car tomorrow, and if you're on the way, I can give you a ride, as a way of repaying you for today's dinner."

"No need, someone will pick me up tomorrow. Besides, you have already given me enough money for dinner today, so it is not considered a favor from me."

"Okay then." Haitang ate hard. In a short time, she finished the entire lunch box. She fell on the bed with satisfaction, not forgetting to burp.

She originally wanted to say a few more words to Xu Wanning, but she saw Xu Wanning going to the sink with her own empty lunch box.

Haitang muttered something, turned over, put the quilt on her body, and fell asleep quickly.

When Xu Wanning cleaned the lunch box and came back, she could still hear Haitang's slight snoring.

It was now approaching evening, and there was not enough light in the car. Xu Wanning also lay on the bed, with her back to Haitang.

She looked like she was asleep, but in fact, her consciousness entered space.

In the space, Xu Wanning was carefully observing the string of beads Haitang gave her.

It was also when she saw this string of black beads that Xu Wanning suddenly had an idea in her mind, and suddenly thought of a plot in the book that she had almost forgotten.

When Lin An was performing a mission, he discovered a young girl wearing a beaded string. He noticed something unusual about the girl and followed her. Then he discovered the place that put him and his comrades in danger.

Xu Wanning didn't know whether this string of beads was the one described in the book, and whether Haitang was the girl who had been specially described in the book with some abnormal behavior.

There is a simple description of the appearance of the girl wearing the beaded string in the book. The girl has two shiny black braids. Although she is not tall, her skin is fair and tender. She looks like the little girl who is so backward that she is almost isolated from the world. The mountain village is out of place.

Haitang happens to possess these two characteristics.

Coupled with this bead string, Xu Wanning had to think more.

But, if this bead string was very important to Haitang, why would she give it to Xu Wanning so easily?

At this time, Xu Wanning seemed to be trapped in a strange circle, her mind was in a mess, and many thoughts were piled up together, making it impossible for her to sort out her thoughts in a short period of time.

She could only rely on her intuition to find a bracelet that was somewhat similar to this bead string from her jewelry box.

Her bracelet was a gift from her master's mother. It is said that each bead is an illuminated obsidian, which has the effect of sleeping and aiding the mind.

Xu Wanning looked at Begonia's bead string carefully. There were 22 beads in total, two of which had words engraved on them.

Xu Wanning didn't know what the word was, but that didn't stop her from copying it.

For a top chef who can carve on rice grains, carving a totem on beads is a bit complicated and cumbersome, but it is not impossible.

Xu Wanning concentrated on carving on the beads. Seeing that she was about to succeed, her consciousness heard the sound of a dispute outside.
