Chapter 5, A Broken Liver and Intestine
“It sounds so nice…”
"You little mouth is sweet." The landlady smiled and was quite happy.
Li Yu didn't lie, the landlady played the guitar really well.
As the saying goes, music is a bridge of communication. Regardless of language and race, advanced players can even use music to move animals and cry.
This song really played the taste of heartbreaking and nowhere to find a soulmate.
"By the way to the landlady, I remember you are not from here, why do you think about building a house here for rent?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows. Although this landlady has no relatives, she was also a successful strong woman when she was young. After retirement, the house here is the result.
Especially after catching up with this wave of real estate explosion, the land of this house will reach the sky in one step and its magic power will be endless.
However, at that time, there was no concept of speculating on land and housing. Land is not expensive, so she had a better choice...
Why did I choose here?
"Because when I was young, the dream of a few of us sisters..."
The landlady's mind was in a fascination.
Wrapped by memories.
At this time, Li Yu felt that the landlady was like an old lady, who liked to fall into her memories and think about the beauty she had experienced before.
The older you are, the more you feel that time is cruel. However, only cruel time can make people feel how wonderful the past was.
At this time, a black flame suddenly burned on the landlady's forehead, which was located above the eyebrows.
This burn scared Li Yu, but looking at the landlady's expression, it seemed that she didn't feel anything.
Li Yu immediately received a reminder from the pawn shop.
This is the manifestation of [desire].
Not everyone can enter the No. 10 pawn shop, only the desire to understand and the impulse to give everything for the desire. These people can ignite the black fire on their own and be guided by the desire to enter. Another type is that the boss directly gives it to you.
The black flame turned into a seal and appeared in the hands of the landlady.
At this time, the landlady had not noticed the sudden sign of the palm of her hand.
Li Yu smiled without saying a word: "Land landlady, come and have a look, there is something here..."
"What's wrong..."
The landlady was puzzled, followed Li Yu and stepped into the kitchen door.
This kitchen door leads to no longer the kitchen, but the pawn shop.
In the pawn shop during the day, the eternal lights are still burning, and the ancient Chinese-style windows shine on these precious things.
The inside of the pawn shop actually makes people feel a little relaxed and warm. Even Li Yu can relieve her unique old flavor.
The landlady was stunned and looked around and almost screamed in fear.
Where is your own kitchen? How did it become what it is now...
"Where is this... Xiao Li, you..."
"I am the owner of this store." Li Yu snapped his fingers, and the bamboo rattan chair appeared behind him, and sat down very pretentiously.
The gay boss wearing the Qilin Youlong Tang suit is very stylish to sit like this. After Li Yu sat down in his position, he felt that sitting like this was really a bit terrible in a otakus suit with flip-flops...
Fortunately, the landlady didn't care about this, just didn't understand everything around her.
"you..."
"It's the business project of our store." Li Yu paused, remembering what the gay young man said, the purpose of the pawn shop selling everything was wrong, and then smiled and changed his words: "The things that our store operates... are called [Hope]."
Selling hope...
The landlady feels a bit nonsense...
But looking at the scenes around me and thinking about stepping from home to this store, I know that it is definitely not something that can be understood by normal logic.
"Selling hope...so, can you help me realize everything I hope?"
"Yes, it's OK." Li Yu crossed his hands and made a deep look.
You can't make fucked wishes like being the king of the world or the god of the new world.
"I want to...want to sing with my sisters... again."
The landlady began to tell stories that she had not finished telling before.
Her hope.
The original landlady was a child of a rich family. In that era of information blockage, she first came into contact with something called [Record], and music that was beaten into a slander was despised by the people.
Many people at that time also disliked this thing, but the youth of four girls led by landlady was ignited and became fascinated by Teresa Teng, the leader of pop music at that time. The Teresa Teng era brought about a considerable number of people...
Girls' dreams are always in poetry and far away, especially when they keep warm and think about them.
The four girls picked up musical instruments, played their favorite songs, and used music to compose their youth.
Form a band and spoil it freely.
Unfortunately, the four girls went their separate ways for their own reasons, either because of their lives or because of their families.
Anyway, the band is over.
"Can we get our band together again..."
Gathering an elderly band sounds quite simple.
But it is not an ordinary difficulty.
However, Li Yu was already a little forced to count the most difficult parts.
Finally, the black flame burned and a piece of parchment appeared before my eyes.
"Sign the contract and become a magic...ahem, let's sign this contract."
Li Yu almost spoke up...
"So what do I have to pay? Didn't you say that this store sells hope and wants... money? How much money? If it's money... I shouldn't be short of it." The landlady's words deeply hurt Li Yu, the otaku worker.
This rich woman with her own land and a row of houses is simply what she wants for Li Yu.
After Li Yu silently complained in her heart, she thought.
"Yeah...it's the price..."
Family? Love? Friendship?
Lifespan? Soul?
The transaction volume of the pawn shop here does not depend largely on Li Yu and the pawn shop's judgment.
It depends on the pawner.
Perhaps, outside, the ragged rag doll that has been in disrepair is worthless.
But for nostalgic owners, this ragged rag doll may be the most precious thing in childhood, or even a lifetime of precious things.
Then, in the judgment mechanism of the pawn shop, this ragged doll is a precious treasure, and can even be equivalent to the soul.
It’s a bit like antiques. For others, this antique is not worth that much money at all. You can ask someone to make a new one with less money, but in the eyes of collectors, this is a priceless treasure.
This pawn shop that seems to be omnipotent (after all, you can't be the king of the world...) requires [precious things].
Li Yu said to the landlady who was slightly hopeful in front of her.
"Theoretically, if you want to trade here, the price you pay is [precious] things... But this time it is a bit special for your wish, so this time the service."
"free."
Li Yu smiled slightly, the parchment burned black flames, and a few blood words appeared on it.
