Chapter 476: A century-old black shop, heading to Zhangjiajie
Looking at the mysterious and pretentious look on the shopkeeper's face, I shook my head helplessly, wondering what the hell is going on with Senior Sister. She asked me to come all the way to Lijiang to get something, but she didn't tell me what it was. What does this mean?
At this time, the shopkeeper had already put the suitcase on the table. I looked at it carefully and immediately found that this suitcase was not the previous one.
The previous suitcase could only be unlocked with a password and fingerprint, but now, there was an electronic screen on the suitcase. At this moment, the electronic screen actually displayed a string of numbers: 48:00
"Is this the countdown time?" I said suspiciously.
"That's right." The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, then reached out and tapped the suitcase lightly.
With a "beep", the time on the electronic screen began to tick.
"After 48 hours, the box will open automatically. Before that, don't try to open the box with brute force, otherwise it may explode."
My mouth twitched when I heard that, thinking, is it really that necessary? She's actually setting a bomb in the suitcase?
However, with my senior sister's personality, she is indeed likely to do such a thing.
"Haha, I've also packed your clothes for you. After you change into them, you can leave for Zhangjiajie. Oh, by the way, I have prepared a car for you according to your senior sister's instructions, and it should be here soon."
"Wouldn't it be faster to take a plane?" I asked suspiciously.
"You'd better take the car I arranged for you. If you take a plane, this suitcase may not pass the security check." After the shopkeeper said this, he took out a package from a closet. After opening it, I saw that it contained two clothes.
I looked at the two clothes speechless.
One of the Tang suits was okay, at least it could be worn, but what happened to the other jacket?
Am I going to wear this to perform crosstalk?
"Two clothes, a total of 880,000 yuan, your senior sister has already paid the money." The shopkeeper said as he took the Tang suit and said, "Put it on. Since you are going to propose marriage, you should dress more formally." "
880,000 yuan?" I almost popped my eyes out. Just two clothes, but it cost nearly a million yuan. This is a century-old store. I think it's more like a century-old black shop.
Seeing that I was holding the clothes without moving, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Why don't you wear them?"
"Uh...well, can I return them?" I asked hesitantly.
The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard that, and then said with a look of surprise: "Return it? Why? Do you know how many people want to get clothes from my family but can't, and you still want to return it?"
I laughed dryly and said, "I just think that my temperament... is not worthy of your clothes."
"Yeah." The shopkeeper nodded: "My temperament is a bit rustic, but it's not that I'm not worthy of them. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. As long as you put on my clothes, you will... Hey, little friend, why are you looking at me like that? Don't do it, I'm an old man and can't stand the torture! Hey, hey, hey, don't hit people in the face..."
After more than ten minutes, I finally changed my clothes and walked out of the dressing room.
Looking at myself in the mirror, tall, masculine and handsome, I couldn't help but smile secretly, thinking that the shopkeeper really didn't lie to me.
This Tang suit is actually different from the old-fashioned Tang suits sold on the market. It combines some Western elements and is more slim-fitting. After putting it on, it sets off my whole person very neatly and has a very capable feeling.
"Well, not bad." The shopkeeper nodded aside and then said, "My friend, the car has arrived, let's go."
After arriving on the second floor, I found that the disciples of the famous doctor Zimai had not left yet. When she saw me coming downstairs, the girl in Hanfu immediately smiled and nodded at me, and the few people beside her glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, and then gathered together to whisper.
"What are they talking about?" I walked downstairs with some suspicion. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Of course they are talking about the clothes you are wearing. Besides, the third floor is the important place of my store. Even they have never been there. You were personally received by me and were taken to the third floor by me. Naturally, they would start to guess about your identity. But don't worry about it. You are new in the world and not many people know you. Don't worry about being recognized."
After walking out of the store, the shopkeeper first bowed to me, and then said, "Walk west for 30 minutes and someone will pick you up. Good luck, my friend."
I didn't want to waste time talking to him anymore, mainly because I was afraid that I would not be able to resist and snatch the 880,000 back, so after leaving the store, I carried a suitcase and a backpack and walked quickly to the west.
Thirty minutes later, a young man in a Tang suit with a sharp gaze appeared in the darkness. He clasped his fists to me and said, "The shopkeeper asked me to pick you up."
"Okay." I nodded, but I was a little suspicious in my heart. I wondered what the shopkeeper was doing. He was just sending me to Zhangjiajie, why did he act like a spy?
After getting in the car, the business car first drove out of the town slowly, and then directly onto the viaduct. The black business car was like a ghost, breaking through the darkness and speeding on the highway.
"Mr. Zhang, it will take about six hours to reach Zhangjiajie. You can rest for a while. I will call you when we get there." The driver said.
I nodded when I heard it, and then leaned back in the seat, staring at the darkness rapidly receding outside the window.
According to the original plan, I should have gone to Zhangjiajie to propose marriage. However, when I met Huang Jiu, especially after we became physically intimate and married, I changed my mind.
"If my master knew that I had canceled this marriage, would he beat me to death?" I looked helpless.
The other party's family background seemed to be not simple either. Moreover, this marriage was arranged by my master and the other party's family 18 years ago. If I rashly canceled the marriage, not to mention whether my master would be angry, I might not be able to get past the woman. People are like this
. If I went to propose marriage, the other party would definitely make things difficult for me, and the other party would look down on me and resist me from the bottom of their hearts.
But if I went to cancel the marriage, the other party would feel that their family was humiliated, and would be angry, and there is a high possibility of conflict.
"The other party seems to be a family that raises pigs. If I cancel the engagement rashly, won't their family put a pig in my house and kill me?"
As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help swallowing my saliva. Then, my back went cold and I became restless.
