HEAVEN'S SHADOW CHAPTER 84

 

Chapter 84 : Bright and  Beautiful Maiden 

 

 

 

 

 

The black dog, Ah Tu suddenly pricked up his ears, then suddenly jumped up and stared at the door with gleaming eyes, showing his teeth and sharp fangs, with a low growl of "woo woo" in his throat, with a vicious biting look.

 

Outside the house there was a cry of alarm, but a moment later, suddenly a figure appeared at the door, it was Lu Chen.

 

Just as Lu Chen kicked it away, and immediately kicked the stupid dog over to the ground, and scolded: "Stupid dog! If you want to eat meat and bones in the future, it depends on others. Do you want to die?"

 

"Wooo ......" the low and vicious roar suddenly changed, the black dog Ah Tu's vicious aura disappeared in a flash, only to see its tail wagging wildly, with low and sharp humming in the mouth he ran to the door in a flash. The figure outside the threshold turned around twice, wagging his tail incessantly. Shaking his head and tail endlessly, showing no morals at all.

 

"Ah ...... ah!"

 

The person outside the house was first startled, then blurted a "eek", but laughed out a "pfft", covered her mouth and laughed: "Why is this dog so funny?"

 

Lu Chen raised his eyes to look, only to see outside the house on the green stone road, standing was a ten-year-old girl, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, white skin like snow, although the size of the body has not yet grown, but in the future she's bound to be a stunning beauty.

 

And at that moment, the little girl looked at the black dog Ah Tu bouncing around next to her, and seemed to find it very interesting. She was all smiles.

 

The wind blew through the alley, soft and quiet, and swept up her red-sleeved dress, floating in the wind.

 

At that moment, the spring breeze, the deep alley, the young girl, this scene was like a wonderful painting.

 

 

Lu Chen called out, and called back the stupid dog that was jumping around, then his eyes fell on the girl's face, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart: Although the girl in front of him is not very old, this color was really real. He has only seen in his life, it could be said that since he was a child, he has had a face that was like a disaster for the country and the people.

 

"Miss, is there something wrong?" Lu Chen politely asked the young girl, while glancing to the far side of the alley.

 

The alley was empty, and she seemed to have come here alone.

 

The girl pointed to the plaque that read "Black Mound Pavilion" and asked, "Is this your store?"

 

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then looked back and said, "...... is sort of."

 

The young girl smiled and nodded, then stepped in, while a pair of bright and clear eyes looked at the humble things in this store, with some curiosity, but also some cautious look.

 

Lu Chen walked back inside at the counter and asked, "Do you want to buy something?"

 

"Hmm." The young girl answered, but did not speak immediately, but swept her gaze over the row of shelves at the back of the counter.

 

There were some things on the shelves in the store, mostly the most common ordinary spiritual materials, which looked like they had been put away for a long time, as many places were covered with dust.

 

After noticing that the young girl's gaze had become a bit odd, Lu Chen also looked back, and when the scene on that shelf fell into his eyes, Lu Chen was also dumbfounded for a moment, and then turned around and smiled somewhat awkwardly, saying, "The owner of this store is particularly lazy, I was just looking over the store."

 

"Huh, aren't you the owner of this Black Mound Pavilion?" The young girl asked with some surprise, and looked around again, it was obvious that Lu Chen was the only one watching the store in this one store.

 

"I'm not the shopkeeper here." Lu Chen said with a straight face, "Actually, I am the uncle of the shopkeeper, today he went out to buy goods, I came to help look after the store."

 

"Oh, that's it..." The little girl nodded, as if she believed, but when she looked at the shabby store, her face gradually showed embarrassment.

 

Lu Chen smiled and asked: "What do you need, tell me, if there is, I will show it to you, no matter what, anyway, I can't buy and sell by force in broad daylight, right?"

 

The little girl smiled again, at that moment, the beauty of the young girl came to the surface, like smoke and water rain over the sky, there was a refreshing breath like.

 

"I'd like to buy some 'Cangzhuzi'**."

 

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Cangzhuzi ah, wait a minute, let me see if there are any?"

 

"Well, sure." The little girl smiled and said.

 

Lu Chen searched through the shelves, and finally found this relatively common spiritual material in a compartment, took it and put it on the counter, said: "actually it's really here ...... if it is other, I will not give you, but this spiritual material is taken from the seeds, the outer has a firm shell, and it won't break after ten years of storage, so you should be able to use it."

 

The little girl thought about it and nodded, "Well, that's true, that's what my master said. All right then, I'll buy ten."

 

"Good." Lu Chen picked out ten good-looking Cangzhuzi, he found a rag from the side and wiped them clean, then wrapped them in paper and handed it to the little girl.

 

The little girl smiled sweetly, took the paper bag, put it back, while reaching for her bosom, and said: "How much ...... ah?"

 

Suddenly, she gave a startled cry, her face changed, as if frozen in place for a moment.

 

Lu Chen looked at her and said, "What's wrong?"

 

That little girl's cheeks surged up a cloud of red, her skin looked like the skin white in red, adding a bit of beauty, she seemed to be a little dumbfounded, and said: "I, I seem to have forgotten my money."

 

"Well, so ah ......" Lu Chen sighed, this business is really too difficult to do.

 

The little girl had a hesitant expression on her face, and after a while, she said to Lu Chen with some embarrassment: "Uncle, I have an urgent need for this Cangzhuzi, can you let me take it away first, and I will send money over later... "

 

Halfway through speaking, she suddenly noticed that Lu Chen was staring at her with a strange face, and couldn't help but lower her voice, and couldn't help asking after a while: "Can't you?"

 

Lu Chen coughed and asked without answering, "What did you call me just now?"

 

Lu Chen coughed and asked instead of answering, "What did you just call me?"

 

The little girl was stunned for a moment and said, "Uncle...you are already the uncle of the shopkeeper at your age."

 

"Well ...... okay!" Lu Chen shook his head, then squarely to the little girl said: "No, you can not take the goods without money!"

 

The little girl was taken aback and seemed to want to say something else, but her cheeks seemed to get even redder, whispering, "I, I'm not that kind of person ...... I said I'll pay it back, I'll definitely pay it back!"

 

That demeanor of her bowed head posture was as if without drinking, it was enough to intoxicate people, and her eyes were full of water, enough to make the world fall for it.

 

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "No."

 

The little girl gave him a sad look and had to put the paper bag in her hand back on the counter, then turned around and walked out.

 

When he saw that she was about to walk to the door, Lu Chen's voice suddenly came from behind, saying, "Hey! You dropped your wallet."

 

The little girl's footsteps froze suddenly, and when she looked back, she saw that Lu Chen had come out from behind the counter at some point, holding a small red bag with a flower embroidered with gold thread on it.

 

"Ah... I was like "where was my purse?" The little girl opened her beautiful eyes wide, walked over quickly, said with a smile, and then stretched out her hand to Lu Chen.

 

Lu Chen let her grab the small bag, but did not let go. The little girl pulled, a little surprised and she looked at Lu Chen and said: "Uncle, why don't you let go?"

 

Lu Chen said, "I'll return the money pouch to you, and you also have to return the Cangzhuzi in your sleeve to me.", He said, without looking at the little girl's suddenly stiff smile, he sighed and said: " Also, don't call me uncle, it sounds weird."
