Plane Convenience Store

He knew there was something wrong with the knife, and a hunter told him about it.

Orion often hunts, so he is good at arrows and has some experience with knives.

Because the shop owner said that the fruit knife is for peeling fruit, so An Dacong didn't think much about it, so he used the fruit knife to peel the fruit and vegetables.

It wasn't until the Orion passed by and saw the knife that An Dacong really realized the value of the 'fruit knife'.

"Da Cong, where did you get this knife?"

Asking An Dacong for a knife, Orion was amazed at first, and then sighed with tsk tsk.

Seeing his strange reaction, An Dacong was very curious and asked, "Uncle Li, what's wrong with this fruit knife? Is there something wrong with it?"

"No, this knife is very good!" Li Orion sighed, "It's just too good, so I feel it's a pity."

"This could have been a famous sword, but I really don't know that the person who killed a thousand swords did it, and turned it into such a virtue!"

"This kind of virtue? Isn't this bad?" An Dacong was puzzled: "I think it's very easy to use. It's very convenient to peel vegetables and fruits."

"Tsk tsk, you just don't know knives." Li Orion shook his head and said, "It's too short, and the style is not good, so it can't be used for meritorious deeds. As you said, it can only be used to peel fruit. At most ...at best it can be used as a dagger."

"One inch is short, one inch is dangerous, what a pity it is a good knife!"

Li Liehu walked away singing lamenting tunes, leaving only An Dacong staying where he was.

If it wasn't for Li Orion, he really didn't know that this ordinary fruit knife had such uses.

Before Li Orhu left, he also told him not to tell others.

Although this 'fruit knife' is a pity, but with its sharpness, it is still a rare treasure.

Li Liehu pointed out that he could dedicate the knife to King Han, so that he might be able to change to a small official.

With an official position, he will not have to worry about food and drink in the future, and he no longer needs to be in the business of selling goods.

And his younger sister can also find a well-matched family, so she doesn't have to marry and run the family, busy and suffer.

It has to be said that An Dacong was a little moved.

But he could see clearly that he couldn't do that.

I don't mention Nian Beast in advance, this kind of good deed that benefits the country and the people, no one thinks it will be serious with him.

However, presenting the knife must involve the origin of the knife. Even if he is young, he knows the strangeness of the convenience store, so he will not gamble his own and his sister's safety on this future.

Li Liehu is a good man with a tight mouth, and he agreed, and An Dacong didn't worry about him speaking out.

In the end, An Dacong made a decision. He decided to return the knife to the owner the next time he went to the convenience store.

Such a knife should not be used by a commoner like him. Thinking of what the shopkeeper said before, it sounds like a child.

How can such a treasured sword be exchanged for a piece of broken silver that is less than one and a half taels?

Moreover, if he keeps such a knife, it will cause disasters. Whether it is buried in the ground or passed on to his descendants, the precious knife will be covered with dust.

The most important thing was that he couldn't bear it with his conscience. After careful consideration, An Dacong asked his sister to seal her mouth and not to lift the knife outside, so she breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to return the knife next time.

Convenience store

After An Dacong left, all the extra firecrackers were taken away, which made Lu Lu very happy.

Although he intended to give these to neighbors, he shuddered at the thought of the trouble of delivering things from family to family.

"Hello, welcome!"

As it got late, the sound of firecrackers outside became quieter.

Lu Lu followed the bell and looked towards the door, only to see a girl in a light blue skirt standing at the door, looking around curiously.

Facing Lu Lu's gaze, she was startled for a moment, then returned a shy smile.

'Is this, the outside world? '

Before she could think about how she got out of the attic, she heard the strangely dressed man say, "Hi, this is a convenience store, customer, what do you want?"

"No, I don't want anything, I just want to see..."

She heard herself whispering.

It may be that her attitude was too blunt. After being rejected by her, the man opposite really stopped talking.

While she was relieved, she also felt a little regretful.

You know, this is the first time she has had a conversation with someone other than her parents...

Unexpectedly, it ended like this... She originally wanted to say a few more words.

Alice reprimanded herself for being poor at speaking. She recalled the way of talking in the book, and wanted to continue talking to the young man.

It's just that she stood there blankly for a while, but she didn't make up her mind, so she just started to move her steps lightly as she said before, and wandered among the shelves.

"Is this a mirror? It shines brightly, even more clearly than my side."

Alice picked up a small hand mirror and was taken aback when she looked at it.

Although the silver mirror she used could also reflect figures, it was far inferior to the one in her hand.

Through the glass mirror, Alice saw her whole body clearly for the first time, even more clearly than she saw herself in the basin.

She wears a light blue bow tie and has the same light blue eyes as her mother.

She couldn't help giggling when she saw the eyes in the mirror blinking in response to her movement.

Needless to say, the lightweight hand mirror immediately attracted her.

So, she picked up the mirror and continued to wander around the store with it.

……

The size of the convenience store is small, and if you don't stop and look carefully, one minute is enough to walk through all the shelves.

But to Alice, she had never seen such a large place.

According to her parents, the attic where she lives is considered big, but compared to the dark attic, the convenience store that is bright even at night is obviously more pleasing.

In the room she was in, the windows were nailed tightly with wooden boards, and only a sliver of sunlight could shine through the gaps in the height, allowing her to know the day and night.

By the way, there is also the old woman who has been taking care of her, she is responsible for taking care of her daily life.

In gloomy days she had been marking off the day with three meals a day brought by the old woman.

It's a pity that the old woman is dumb, and seems to be deaf, so although Alice is very lonely, I still can't tell her when I have something on my mind.

I really want to... chat with that person again...

It's not easy to meet someone who can talk, she really wants to talk to him...

Although her parents would visit her occasionally, they were too busy to say a few words each time, so she still couldn't tell them all of her thoughts.

And her younger brother, because of her serious illness, her parents never allowed her to see him. It would be great if she didn't have this strange illness.

If she recovered from her illness, would her parents bring her younger brother and allow her to play with him?

Her younger brother must be prettier than the young man in front of him.

Should be a little shorter than him, maybe a little shorter than her?

But what is certain is that her brother must be very cute, but she and him have never met each other. Will he like his sister?

Alice fell into depression.

After standing blankly in front of a shelf for a long time, it took about two candles for her mind to wander, before Alice slowly felt relieved.

She looked silly like this, but she didn't have the self-awareness.

Because in the attic, she spent far more time in a daze than this.

In other words, in the boring attic, apart from reading some books by the light of a candle, she is not in a daze at other times, and has nothing else to do.

I heard that she can't work much because of her illness, so she has never touched the needlework that girls have to learn.

And things like scissors are too dangerous. Although she asked her mother many times to cut paper for fun, her mother didn't agree. She just gave her some soft dolls and let her play house with them when she was bored.

However, there is no tea and snacks, and playing with dolls is also very boring...

The food she eats every day is rationed, and as she gets older, the food also increases a little bit.

But no matter how much she begged, the deaf old woman would not give her an extra piece of cake after eating up all this plentiful food.

On the contrary, when her mother came, she would let her eat more and bring her delicious food, but her mother only came once a month, so the joy was too short.

Alice struggled for a while, feeling that she still wanted to talk to the young man.

So she cheered herself up in her heart, plucked up the courage to stand in front of the counter, and said, "Well... how are you? Can I have a conversation with you?"

"This? Of course." Lu Lu was surprised by her request, but still said: "I see you took the mirror, do you want to buy this thing?"

"Buy? Yes, I want it."

Alice found that as soon as she said it, the following words followed.

Communication may not be as difficult as she imagined.

"You want to buy a mirror, so what are you going to pay for it?"

"Pay the bill?"

"Well, it's probably something like money. Considering that this is a different world, you can just give me something valuable."

"Money...it turns out that you need money to buy things."

Alice nodded regretfully. She had never been out of the house, so she naturally didn't know that she had to pay for things.

However, she felt that the shopkeeper did not lie to her, because she remembered that the people in the book seemed to have to pay for things.

It's just that she has been living in the attic and is taken care of by the old woman in daily life. She doesn't need money at all, so her mother naturally won't give her money.

"If you don't have money, you can pay the bill with other things."

The shopkeeper reminded her like this, so Alice, who liked small mirrors very much, had a flash of inspiration, pulled off the bow tied on her head, and solemnly said to Lu Lu: "Shopkeeper, can I use this bow?"

"I like the color of it...do you think it looks good?"

Lu Lu responded sullenly, looking at the girl's loose silver hair, he thought it would be fine if he returned the bow tie to her.

With loose hair like this, it should be very inconvenient on certain occasions.

He asked this aloud, but Alice waved her hand to indicate that it was okay.

When handing the bowknot to Lu Lu, a sense of tiredness swept over Alice. Feeling a little sleepy, Alice couldn't help but covered her mouth and yawned.

As she opened her eyes, a gleam of crystal tears flowed down her blue eyes.

Soon, the teardrops left the eye sockets, they streaked across the silver-white eyelashes, condensed into dazzling gemstones and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
