Xiao Huizi and He Xiaoer

Chapter 245 Alin Grocery Store

"Ding dong."

"welcome--"

Shangguan Jing pushed the door open and walked in. A clear robotic female voice rang out from the sensor next to the glass door.

The store is bright and clean, about 14 or 15 square meters in size, with rows of neatly stacked pet racks, and cats and dogs can be seen in cages on every rack.

There was a man in his thirties sitting at a table, probably the owner, and there was a girl wearing a cute apron, looking after the pets and feeding them food.

Hearing the sound of the player, the male owner and the female clerk both looked over.

"Hello." The male shop owner stood up.

The salesgirl also came over.

Seeing several stunning beauties coming in, the female clerk's eyes lit up and she almost called out "so beautiful". What kind of fairy-like beauties are they?

Sometimes, women like to look at beautiful women more than men.

Ran Xiaoque was still holding the cage in her hand, and she looked at the pet cages as she entered the door.

Shangguan Jing asked, "Is xxx-xxxx-xxxx your store's phone number?"

The male shop owner immediately replied: "Yes, please, were you the one who called just now?"

"Yes."

"How can I help you? Want to buy a pet or pet food?"

Shangguan Jing took the cage from Ran Xiaoque, slammed it on the table, and asked, "Look at these three little monster pets, are they from your store?"

The shop owner's heart skipped a beat and he became very nervous, thinking something had happened.

He took one look at the three ugly and ferocious little monsters in the cage and immediately shook his head, "No, not ours. We don't have anything like this."

"They have a piece of cloth tied to each of their hind feet with your phone number on it."

As she spoke, Shangguan Jing caught another little monster, turned it upside down, and in front of the male shop owner, she tore off the cloth strip and threw it in front of him.

"You see."

The male shop owner took it and looked at it. It said "Black and White Pet Shop" and the phone number was indeed that of this shop.

The shop owner immediately explained, "It's none of my business. This 'Black and White' pet shop belonged to the previous owner, who transferred the shop to me. I took it over just the day before yesterday."

"I also changed the name of the store. It used to be called 'Black and White Pet Shop', but I thought it didn't sound good, so I changed it to 'Colorful Pet Shop'."

When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, "So it's been transferred."

So it’s not the wrong place.

"Yes. The previous owner was very generous. He sold them to me at a very low price, and the pets have licenses and certificates, including health certificates. It's very good."

The shop owner explained further.

Zhang Xueying asked, "You took over the business just the day before yesterday? What happened? Was the previous boss so anxious?"

"Yes, the boss posted a transfer notice the day before yesterday, including everything. Since the price was really attractive, I decided to take over on the spot. As for what happened to the boss, I didn't ask. Anyway, it was a legitimate business."

Shangguan Jing asked hurriedly: "Who was the previous boss? What was his name? Where is he? How can I contact him?"

The shop owner replied: "His name is Bai Qi, his hair is pure white without any other color, and he looks to be around 40 years old..."

Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's him, it's him——"

Zhang Xueying clapped her hands, "So his real name is Bai Qi."

She was very excited. The first person on the list for help was Bai Qi. How could she find him here?

Shangguan Jing urged, "Hurry up, keep talking, I have a reward."

The shop owner looked helpless and innocent. He was about to continue speaking when he was interrupted by a burst of exclamations from several beautiful women.

As soon as he heard that there was a reward, his eyes immediately brightened up again.

"I really don't know where he is, and he didn't leave any contact number, but he did leave a message."

"What?"

"He said that if someone came to see him...wait, how do I know if the person he was talking about is you?"

The shopkeeper deliberately said half of it.

Shangguan Jing stared coldly, "You want money?"

The shop owner hesitated and said, "Didn't you just say there was a reward..."

Shangguan Jing didn't bother with him and took out a gold nugget half the size of her palm from her waist bag. The gold nugget was so bright that it blinded people's eyes.

"If what you say is true, I'll give you this nugget of gold. If you lie to me, I'll cut off your tongue."

With a bang, Shangguan Jing threw the gold nugget on the table.

This gold nugget is worth more than 20,000 yuan.

The shop owner's jaw dropped.

Money and property are not important at all to Shangguan Jing.

The shop owner smiled happily and said, "I won't lie to you. I will tell you exactly what he said."

He picked up the gold nugget and put it in his pocket.

Then he said, "He said that if someone comes to see him, tell that person to go to the small shop at the end of the alley and find a girl named "Xiao Nan". She has a letter in her hand, and this letter is for the person who is looking for him."

"Xiao Nan...Okay."

Without waiting a moment, everyone hurried to the end of the alley.

Sure enough, I saw a small shop there, called "Alin Grocery Store".

Everyone stood at the door of the shop and watched.

Shangguan Jing, who usually remained calm even in the face of great difficulties, became excited at this moment.

"Ah Lin's Grocery Store... Ah Lin... Is your last name Lin?"

She repeated it twice, her breathing becoming strained.

Zhang Xueying and Lan Ying said with trembling voices: "Did you really find him? Really?"

At this time, a girl came out of the store and asked, "Hey, do you want to buy something? Why are you standing outside the door?"

The girl was about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, with a pretty and lively look. She was dressed simply and cleanly, like a college graduate.

Shangguan Jing said, "Hello, we just came from the Black and White Pet Shop and are looking for a girl named Xiaonan. Is this you?"

"Yes, I am Xiaonan. What do you want from me?"

"We are here to find a man with completely white hair. His name is Bai Qi. He left a message for us to come to you, saying that he has a letter for us."

Xiaonan carefully looked at the women in front of her. They were all very beautiful. After a long while, she finally said, "Come in."

Everyone followed Xiaonan into the store.

The grocery store is not big, only about ten square meters, with open shelves filled with daily necessities.

Xiaonan brought out a few plastic stools for them to sit on, and asked, "Would you like something to drink? A beverage? Water?"

Shangguan Jing said: "No need."

Xiaonan asked, "Where are you from?"

“The country is beautiful.”

"Oh."

"Excuse me, young lady, is your last name Lin?"

"Ah."

Shangguan Jing became nervous and asked again: "Lin Xiaonan?"

"Ah."

"you……"

Shangguan Jing's heart rose to her throat, "Are you Lin Xiaobei's sister?"

Her guess was very reasonable. A little Bei and a little Nan, if they were not siblings, what could they be?

Lin Xiaonan didn't answer.

Everyone understood, and her not answering was tantamount to her consent.

Great, I finally found someone.

Everyone was extremely excited.

Lin Xiaonan said: "Wait a moment, I'll go get the letter."

Shangguan Jing nodded quickly, "Okay, okay."

The girl turned and went into the house.

Xu Zhihui suddenly saw a picture album on a shelf. She walked over, picked it up, and opened it to read.

This is a beautiful picture album, also about a forest story. The painting style is exactly the same as that of the "Big-Eared Rabbit Family", only the content is different.

After a while, Lin Xiaonan came out with a letter in his hand.

She glanced at Xu Zhihui and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

Xu Zhihui said happily: "Thank you, did you draw this? It's so beautiful."

Lin Xiaonan nodded, "That's right."

Xu Zhihui put the album away without hesitation.

Lin Xiaonan handed the letter to Shangguan Jing, "Here, this is for you."

Shangguan Jing took it excitedly. On the white envelope were five words: "To you in the future."

When Shangguan Jing saw these words, her heart started beating so fast that her hands were shaking.

Zhang Xueying, Lan Ying, and Xu Zhihui all stared at these words with wide eyes, "Future...you?"

"Take the letter back and read it."

"Can we see it?"

"Yes."
