"Look! This person doesn't really want to exchange with you at all, he just wants to cheat you for food. I've seen a lot of people like him in business." Seeing Wang Zhao close the window, Cao Jin confirmed his guess .

"If he's not guilty, why doesn't he show us what we're going to replace? He must be unprepared, and just wants to trick you into delivering the stuff, and then close down." The more Cao Jin said, the more he felt that was the case. It's the same thing, and the more I talk about it, the more I feel proud: "Fortunately, I was clever and stopped you for you, otherwise you would not only run in vain this trip, but you would also have to pay for the four boxes of biscuits you worked so hard to make."

"Brother Wang is not that kind of person. He is always nice to me..." Zhang Lin defended, but couldn't help muttering to herself, "Why is he like this all of a sudden?"

The front door of the supermarket was suddenly opened by someone, it was Li Li, the hostess of the store.

I saw her greet Zhang Lin with a smile on her face, as if she didn't know about the dispute just now: "Xiao Zhang is here, come in, come in! Lao Wang is rude. He actually asked you to pass things outside. You just ran Come here, I should treat you to a cup of tea."

Zhang Lin was taken aback for a moment, and then a look of joy appeared on her face, and she smiled gratefully at Li Li: "You don't need to drink tea, we change things and leave."

Li Li nodded, her smile still gentle: "Anyway, come in first."

With that said, Li Li stepped aside from the entrance.Zhang Lin looked back at the three people behind her.

Xia Xi thought it was a waste of time to make a trip, but he didn't expect things to turn around.But he always felt that there was something weird about it.Xia Xi pulled Zhang Lin back and whispered, "Sister Lin, something is wrong."

"I think so too." Zhang Lin frowned in confusion, and said, "But it's all here, so I can't make a trip in vain. Anyway, be careful when you go in."

Xia Xi didn't persuade her anymore, she carried the box and followed Zhang Lin into the supermarket.

The supermarket is small in size, but it has everything you need, from fresh vegetables, snacks and drinks, to supplies, home appliances, bedding and clothing.

Wang Zhao was right when he said that the family was in chaos.It does look like it hasn't been cleaned up for some time, the snack area and beverage area have been turned over in a mess, a lot of things are missing, some garbage is scattered on the ground, and the air is filled with an unpleasant smell, like cigarettes and alcohol. There was some overnight food mixed in.

Xia Xi passed by the cash register, looked up and looked around without a trace, the first floor was empty at the moment, except for the proprietress Li Li, there was no one else.

Xia Xi asked Li Li in a casual tone: "Is there anyone else staying here?"

Li Li exaggeratedly sighed: "Hey, how can it be, there are only three of us here. After the chaos outside yesterday, this store dare not open. There are no customers."

wrong.Xia Xi lowered her eyes, there should obviously be many people living together here.The cigarette butts on the ground are by no means enough for one person to smoke in a day, let alone the beer and liquor bottles and messy snack bags on the ground.

Furthermore, looking at some corners and corners in the supermarket, they are all clean and tidy, which shows that the owner and wife of the supermarket should cherish this supermarket very much.So the people who made the supermarket look like this must not be themselves.

There are other people here. These people have more say than the owner of the supermarket. They hide in the dark and don't want people like themselves to find out.

Xia Xi knew it in his mind, he took a few steps back, touched a lighter from the counter without a trace, and held it in his hand.Then followed Zhang Lin.

"Where can I put the biscuits for you?" Zhang Lin asked while carrying the biscuit box.

"That one is fine." Li Li casually pointed out the location for them.

Zhang Lin stacked the four boxes of biscuits neatly, and said to Li Li, "Miss Li, please count, there are ten boxes of biscuits in one box, forty boxes of biscuits in total."

"You don't need to count, can my sister still trust you?" Li Li took out a tray from nowhere with four paper cups on it. She put the tray on the biscuit box, picked up a cup and handed it to Xia Xi: "Come on, Have some tea."

"Thank you." Xia Xi took the paper cup with both hands. The paper cup was steaming, but it wasn't hot, it was just the right temperature for drinking.The bottom is covered with tea leaves, and the tea fragrance is very strong.

Xia Xi lifted the cup to her lips.

Along the way, he was running and fighting, and his mouth was indeed dry.But the moment the tea was about to enter, Xia Xi's heart skipped a beat. He raised his eyelids and looked at Li Li secretly.

Coincidentally, the other party was also looking at him.

Xia Xi immediately withdrew his gaze. He pursed his lips tightly, lifted the rim of the cup up, pretended to be drinking water, and pretended to swallow twice, and then poured the tea on the cup the moment Li Li turned his head. In the open space behind the biscuit box, I put the empty cup aside as if nothing had happened.

Li Li distributed the other cups to Zhang Lin, Cao Jin and Yu Qianqian.

"Don't drink." Xia Xi pulled Zhang Lin's clothes from behind and said.

Zhang Lin shook the hand holding the cup, and spilled a few drops of tea on the ground.

Zhang Lin looked at Xia Xi questioningly.

Xia Xi didn't explain, just shook his head.

Xia Xi didn't know if there was anything wrong with the tea.But he tends to be there.

Wang Zhao didn't even let them in, but Li Li made tea for them.The former is too defensive, and the latter is too enthusiastic.With such a big difference in their attitudes, there must be something wrong.Whether it's not tea or other places, there is nothing wrong with being more prepared.

Zhang Lin put down the teacup: "Sister Li, my sister is still at home, I don't worry, if I hurry back, I won't stay with you any longer. As I said before, the unit price of biscuits is [-] per box, and [-] boxes is [-] The quota. Let's pick out some clothes and quilts, and leave after choosing."

"What's the hurry, things can't run away." Li Li subconsciously glanced towards the warehouse, then smiled at the few people in a concealed manner: "Well, you can drink tea here and rest. If there is not enough tea, I will pour it for you. Tell me what you want to change, and I will help you find it.”

"Don't worry about it, they are all clothes and so on. We also want to pick a little bit, don't you Qianqian?" Zhang Lin said, holding Yu Qianqian's hand holding the teacup.

When Yu Qianqian heard about choosing clothes, she regained her energy, and immediately lost the mood to drink tea leisurely: "Yes, let's choose clothes first."

Cao Jin didn't touch the tea in the cup, and seemed more vigilant than Xia Xi. Seeing Yu Qianqian get up, he immediately put down the teacup and followed, "I'll accompany you. Whichever one do you choose, I'll hold it for you."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Li to agree, she pushed Yu Qianqian towards the clothing area upstairs. Zhang Lin smiled at Li Li apologetically, and then held Xia Xi back: "Let's go and have a look too."

The clothing area is located on the second floor of the supermarket, and it looks much neater than the first floor.

Xia Xi didn't see Wang Zhao and Lele who were standing at the window before, but saw a simple bed board in the corner near the window, with bedding spread on it, and some children's toys scattered here and there.

"Ah, what, the clothes here are so ugly." Yu Qianqian pouted in disappointment, standing in front of the hanger, picking up the clothes on the shelf critically.

"Don't worry about the style at this time, just be comfortable and keep warm. If the temperature drops in a few days, if you don't even have a long-sleeved jacket, and the store has a power outage and the air conditioner cannot be turned on, then you will suffer." Zhang Lin persuaded from Two duvet cores were proposed next to them: "The situation here is a bit strange, everyone, hurry up, we will leave after picking."

"I think this is a black shop. The man cheated us and asked the woman to drug us. You didn't drink the tea just now, did you?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Cao Jin relaxed: "That's okay, they have two adults and one child here, as long as we don't get caught, they can't do anything to us."

"Ah? Brother Cao, do you suspect that there is... poison in the tea just now?" Yu Qianqian stared belatedly, and asked in a low voice: "No way? They broke the law like this!"

"It's not enough to say poisoning, but it's always right to be careful." Zhang Lin looked at Xia Xi who was wandering back and forth in the stationery area: "Aren't you going to choose clothes?"

"Ah?" Xia Xi put a tube of 502 glue into his sleeve, looked at Zhang Lin innocently, and shyly expected in his tone: "Is it okay?"

Zhang Lin's expression softened, and she said in an almost loving tone: "Of course, you didn't have any decent clothes on you when you came here, so I just took this opportunity to pick up two more sets of clothes to keep. Change laundry, don't be polite to sister, our quota is enough."

"Then thank you, Sister Lin." Xia Xi didn't reject Zhang Lin's kindness. He really needed two sets of clothes that could be changed and washed.After wearing dirty clothes for so many days, he is almost at his limit.

Xia Xi picked things without looking at the fabrics or trying out the styles, and only picked the ones that seemed the most eye-catching.He quickly chose two sets of white sportswear, a pair of white sneakers, and some underwear.

"That's all..." Xia Xi turned around holding the clothes she had chosen, and suddenly noticed that at some point, the small door by the wall opened a crack, and there was a sign on the small door that said the warehouse was important and customers were not allowed, but There seemed to be a figure shaking inside, and there was also a faint wave of supernatural power.

Xia Xi stopped, looked at the dark door, thoughtful.

Zhang Lin has already bought the clothes of the other three people. They are all black sports jackets, which are convenient for activities and resistant to dirt.Cao Jin was still picking clothes with Yu Qianqian.Yu Qianqian said that the clothes were not good-looking, but she picked out a few sets and asked Cao Jin to hold them for her, and gestured to the mirror one by one.

"Let's go when you've picked enough." Zhang Lin urged.

"But I still want to see if my upper body looks good. Is there no fitting room here?" Yu Qianqian asked, holding one of the clothes and gesturing in front of the mirror.

"Yes, brother will take you there?" A malicious voice came from the direction of the warehouse, followed by several booing laughter.

Eight teenagers laughed and walked out of the warehouse. They looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. They wore vests and shorts, cigarettes in their hands, and stared at the four of them.
