Ghost Bookstore

The school is not very far from YL Middle Road. During the part-time job, it takes less than 30 minutes to get there by subway and bus.

Lu Feng returned to the dormitory with the boxed lunch, threw the boxed lunch on the desk, pulled out the chair, and leaned on the back of the chair a little tiredly.

Thinking back on what happened today, Lu Feng still felt weird.

Especially thinking of that phone call, Lu Feng's chills can still stand up now.

Although the handsome man in the cheongsam always liked to claim to be the subordinate, and said it was Zhang Xuan's fault, but what was going on with that shrill voice?

Does Zhang Xuan like watching horror movies?And watching while on the phone?

Lu Feng shuddered, and took out his cell phone from his pants pocket.

Flipping through the strange phone calls in the morning, Lu Feng thought for a while, turned on the computer, and entered the number.

The location is S City, which means that Wen Renbai did not lie. To a large extent, the boy named Zhang Xuan may have made the phone call.

Lu Feng suddenly felt relieved.

The next day, early in the morning, Lu Feng appeared on time at No. 13-14, YL Middle Road.

"Yo, it's really on time." Zhang Xuan stood by the peach tree and took care of the branches and leaves. He was very careful, and some branches and leaves fell at his feet from time to time. "Go in, the dead mandrill is waiting for you inside."

"Okay." Lu Feng nodded politely, entered the store, and under the guidance of Wen Renbai, he sat at the cashier counter at the entrance of the store.

The wood of the counter looks very old, depending on the material and color, it looks like mahogany.There is a newspaper rack inside the counter with some periodicals and magazines on it.

"Under normal circumstances, you are mainly in charge of the cash register and taking care of the books." Wen Rendrill's eyes stayed on the newspaper shelf for a few seconds, and then he said, "You can browse the newspapers and magazines here as you like. But..."

"The bookshelves on the wall behind the reading area are all antiques, so I don't want you to flip through them at will." Wen Renbai's eyes were a little deep, "By the way, all the books here are sold here. The price depends on the age of the buyer, this is a rule that must be followed in the store, so don't forget to ask the age of the customer."

"What... what do you mean?" Lu Feng was a little puzzled.

"It means that if you are 24 years old, then all the books here, regardless of the type, regardless of the thickness, regardless of the language, are all 24 yuan." Zhang Xuan, who had been leaning against the door to watch the show, suddenly smiled, stared at Lu Feng meaningfully and continued. : "Of course, if you can be 0 years old, you can take all the books here."

What kind of ghost bookstore is this, what weird rules.

"What if the other party lied? That's not a loss..."

"Don't worry, those who can come here will not lie." Zhang Xuan scratched his fiery red hair and sighed slightly.

Lu Feng suddenly didn't know what to say.

After a brief understanding, Lu Feng understood that his duty was probably like a shopkeeper.It's nothing bad, it's just that in such a remote place, how could anyone come to read or buy books?

As soon as his thoughts fell, a figure suddenly appeared at the door.

Lu Feng was taken aback.

"You... hello." Adhering to professional ethics, he greeted the figure at the door.

"Hello, I'm here to look for books." The middle-aged man's voice came to mind. After the figure nodded to Lu Feng, he went straight to the row closest to the wall in the reading area.

Against the light, Lu Feng couldn't see the man's face clearly.

"There are older antiques over there, please be careful to look them up." Lu Feng politely reminded the man, and the man glanced at Lu Feng and nodded.

Just turning around, Lu Feng realized that he had seen this man before.It was the taxi driver who took them to the airport last time. I didn't expect such a coincidence.Thinking of the taxi driver's shining eyes, the corners of Lu Feng's mouth turned up unconsciously.

Fate is really a very strange thing, it will always make you meet the unexpected person you should meet most inadvertently.

Lu Feng actually lived in a single-parent family.Growing up with his mother, he was born with a desire for fatherly love.But his mother never said a word about his father.I just learned from my mother that my father left home when I was very young, but my mother never said anything about the specific reasons. Whenever I mentioned my father, my mother's eyes were full of worry and heartbreak. It made Lu Feng, who was sensible from a young age, feel distressed, so later, he never mentioned his father, and his mother never took the initiative to tell him about his father.

The master quickly selected a book.He approached the counter with the book and gently placed the book on the counter.

"Just this "Father and Son"." The uncle said softly, his eyes full of love.

Must have bought it for my son.After Lu Feng took the book, he found that the book was quite old, even yellowed.After glancing at the master, Lu Feng asked, "Are you sure you want this book, master?"

"kindness."

"Excuse me, what is your age?" Lu Feng lacked confidence, because he felt that this question was a bit impolite, and second, what he was going to say next might be a bit stupid.

"42." The master didn't ask too much, and he didn't recognize Lu Feng in front of him as his passenger, and had a good chat with him.

Lu Feng sorted out his wording, and after thinking about it, he said, "The price of this book is 42 yuan. This is the rule of our store. The price of all books is based on your own age."

The master was not very surprised, nor did he think it was weird or funny, nor did he feel that he was cheated: such a thin children's book was actually priced at 42.He didn't have any unexpected expressions, not even a smile on his face, no other expressions, and... feelings...

After paying the cash, the man just kept smiling and left the bookstore without saying a word, and disappeared at the entrance covered by the pear tree.

But Lu Feng in front of the counter stood there dumbfounded.

Because just now, he clearly found that he could no longer see any emotion in the driver's eyes.

That smile was no longer a smile, it was just an expression, not even an expression. It felt like the movement of the facial muscles was suspended at that moment.

Lu Feng suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.
