The veins on the back of his hands, which were gripping the handrail, were bulging out, showing what kind of dilemma he was going through.
Then, he pushed the wheelchair towards the door.
If you miss it, there is still next year. Just wait until next year. He has plenty of time and time to wait.
But he might not really know.
Maybe there will be no next year, maybe there will never be another chance, and the chance only comes tonight.
Zeng Xubai took the things he had picked out to the shopkeeper, paid the deposit, and recorded them in the book. Then he came out to look for Liu Liang. Just when he was about to take out his cell phone to call Liu Liang, he remembered that the cell phones and other electronic products had been taken away before they entered the door, so he didn't have a cell phone with him, and there was no way for him to contact Liu Liang.
Of course, now he has no idea where Liu Liang has gone.
Just when he was still thinking about how to find Liu Liang in this place, he caught a glimpse of a piece of clothing. It seemed to be the clothes Liu Liang was wearing today. Liu Liang deliberately wore a very brightly colored dress today just to be able to find her at a glance. After all, she was afraid of getting lost.
Fortunately, her outfit today was very eye-catching, so Zeng Xubai was able to find her in the crowd at a glance.
At this time, Liu Liang was not picking antiques in the store. She had already picked out the big items and bought quite a few. There were still a few hours, enough for her to find a few more. Now she was standing in front of a small stall, waiting anxiously for the things to come out.
Zeng Xubai strode over, and just at that moment, the vendor had already handed the freshly made goods to Liu Liang.
Liu Liang quickly took it with both hands. It was freshly made and a little hot.
It was a big hand that reached out and took away what was in her hand.
“It’s so hot!”
Liu Liang blew on her fingers, pinched her earlobe, and quickly took out a towel from her bag and put it in Zeng Xubai's hand so that it would not be hot.
"Let's go eat over there."
She pointed to the steps to the side.
"Okay," Zeng Xubai pulled her to the steps. After they sat down, he put her hand on his knee and checked her palm. It was a little red, but fortunately, there was no burn.
"I'm fine," Liu Jing felt that she had thick skin and was not really burned.
If the dean saw this, he would hug the table and cry for three days.
Zeng Xubai was not joking with Liu Liang. A doctor's hands are very important. The dean almost bought insurance for Liu Liang's hands.
Liu Liang quickly put her hands behind her back, and her head felt heavy, as if she heard the dean's nagging again. He was obviously a grown man, but when he started to nag, it was really fatal.
Anyway, she was really afraid of him.
"Eat it."
Zeng Xubai blew on the freshly baked pancake in his hand and placed it on his lap.
Liu Liang carefully took one, and after seeing that it was not too hot, she began to bite it one bite at a time.
“It’s delicious.”
She ate with satisfaction. The taste was truly amazing. It was only available here and nowhere else. It was a pity that she would not be able to eat it in the future. What a pity.
"If you want to eat, we'll come again next year."
Zeng Xubai touched the top of her head soothingly.
Liu Liang lay on his lap, eating the pancake in her hand, "I'm afraid there won't be any left next year."
There is nothing wrong with what she said. Even if the dark street is still there in the future, if it rains next year or something else happens, it is possible that the dark street will be closed.
It is easy to appear in this place where the time, place and people are all right, but it is not easy to appear. Some people may have to wait for several years or even more than ten years.
What's more, it will really be gone next year.
But she had been observing all the way, and it seemed that nothing was different from before, whether it was the shopkeeper, the men in black, or the proprietress of the inn, there was no difference, and it didn't seem like there would be no next year after this year.
But why did this place disappear just like that? Isn’t that strange?
She continued to eat the pancake, her eyes fixed on the shops that always had their lights on. In the future, when there were no dark streets, there wouldn't be so many people coming to this place. Even if it only happened once a year, it would be the biggest feature at this time.
The bright streets would be really boring without the dark streets.
"Will you buy more later?"
Zeng Xubai saw a hint of fatigue on her face and knew that she was tired. After all, she had not slept all night, and the tiredness from her body could not be offset.
"Buy some more."
Liu Jing felt sleepy while eating. She yawned and felt sleepy.
Forget it, just bear with it for a while, they will go back and have a good sleep, even if it’s dark all day long, even if the sun and moon don’t shine.
After finishing the pancake in a few bites, Liu Liang cheered up and started to collect antiques again. By the second half of the night, it was obvious that more than half of the people had left. Those who came to see the antiques had all left. Only some senior antique lovers were still concentrating on certain things, forgetting time and people.
Next, Liu Liang picked out a lot of good things, and Zeng Xubai also picked out a few things. They stopped around five in the morning and did not go into any more shops. Although they had not finished visiting at least half of the shops, there was no time left for them, and Liu Liang did not want to buy anything anymore. She bought a lot this time, and it would take a long time just to pay the bill.
When I returned to the inn and opened the door, I saw piles of boxes of different sizes and vases of all sizes inside.
The mud-colored vase that Liu Liang bought was surprisingly eye-catching among a pile of vases. This might be because the others were either exquisite, simple, or had special shapes and colors, but there was only one that had no characteristics at all at first glance, as if it was made of mud. Although, in fact, these were all made of mud, only this one had a special original flavor.
"My vase!"
Liu Liang hurried over, looked at the vase again and again, touched it again and again, and it was obvious that she was really attracted to this vase.
Anyway, her aesthetic taste is weird, but so what? You can't help but like it. She just likes it, that's all.
"I'll go get ready."
Zeng Xubai walked to the bathroom, and when he came out, he had already carried several large bags and put them aside.
Not long after, someone came knocking on the door.
Liu Liang knew that the person who was collecting the final payment had come.
She walked over and opened the door. It was the same as last time, with the same people, the same formation, the same abacus, and the same list.
"Seventeen million in total."
