Donghai City, Nanfeng District, Shaning Town, a second-hand grocery store.

Lin Xu squatted halfway, gently matte the small objects in his hand.

This is an old-fashioned hourglass.

On both sides of the hourglass are a colorful translucent glass ball, and the middle is connected by a rusty iron pipe belt.

The colorful hourglass contains fine sand.

Lin Xu turned the hourglass upside down and saw grains of sand, like water in the sky, falling continuously, slowly and firmly on another glass ball.

It also fell in Lin Xu's heart!

Lin Xu couldn't help but feel a crush on this second-hand hourglass and a sense of possession.

Some men in this world like games, some like movies, some like women, etc., while Lin Xu prefers these mysterious little things.

However, his financial ability is limited, so he can only buy these bargains to comfort him.

Lin Xu stood up and turned his eyes to the fat middle-aged man wearing white short-sleeved white and Mediterranean hairstyle. He asked calmly, "Boss, how much does this thing cost?"

"Little brother, I have a good attitude. I picked the good baby in my store at a glance." The fat middle-aged man grinned, revealing his teeth stained by cigarettes, wine and tea, and said, "I bought this thing from Europe. If this happens, I will make some hard money and get you three hundred."

Lin Xu couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He glanced around the second-hand store and happened to see a book "The Complete Collection of World Fairy Tales" on the bookshelf that was attached to the wall.

The book is sallow in paper and there is a large piece of dry black stain on the cover.

Needless to say, this is also a second-hand product.

Lin Xu pointed to the book and smiled at the boss, "Add that book, boss, one hundred yuan!"

"No! No! I can't make any money for one hundred yuan. Besides, the book is more than one hundred pages, and the original version is more than one hundred. Little brother, you are so good at doing business!" The middle-aged fat man shook his head desperately, paused for a moment, and then said, "Let's do this, I think you really want to buy it. I'll sell it to you for 50 yuan cheaper, 250 yuan! The lowest price!"

You are only 25, and your whole family is only 25! When Lin Xu heard this price, he complained about the middle-aged fat boss, and he still maintained that decent smile on his face.

He took out a slim wallet from his pocket and pulled out a brand new red bill from his dark brown wallet.

This is a hundred-dollar bill he just took out from the bank cash machine.

Lin Xu handed it to the middle-aged fat boss and said sincerely and seriously, "Boss, one hundred yuan! If possible, I will buy it! If not, I will go to another house to take a look."

"It's really not possible, little brother, I won't make any money for a hundred dollars..." The middle-aged fat boss said with a wry smile.

Without saying a word, Lin Xu put the hourglass on the table, turned around and left.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Seeing Lin Xu about to walk out of the store, the middle-aged fat man finally shouted, "One hundred yuan is only one hundred yuan, I'll sell it to you."

Lin Xu, who was facing away from the middle-aged fat boss, showed a smug smile on his face, and it flew away in a flash, turned around, walked to the boss, handed him a hundred yuan, and then picked up the hourglass and the book "World Fairy Tales" in one hand!

The middle-aged fat boss looked heartbroken and said with a wry smile, "I'm so good at bargaining! I'm really not making any money at all. I'll take care of it next time."

Lin Xu just smiled and nodded. If the boss of this order didn't make any money, he wouldn't believe it if he beat him to death.

In this world, just listen to whatever the boss says, otherwise you will starve to death if you read too many of the painted pancakes!

"Okay! Do you want to give it to you?" The middle-aged fat boss asked again.

"No need. Thank you!" Lin Xu said politely, then walked out of the second-hand grocery store with a little excitement.

He could not wait to go home and play with this stained glass hourglass carefully.

As for "The Complete Collection of World Fairy Tales", that's just a big deal.

Walking to the zebra crossing on the roadside, Lin Xu looked up and jumped to the green light. He swept the left and right, but there were no vehicles.

So Lin Xu raised his legs and left.

While walking, Lin Xu looked at the glass hourglass in his hand.

The more I read, the more I like Lin Xu, the more I am immersed in it.

"ah!"

Suddenly, a scream from the woman next to her came into Lin Xu's ears.

"What happened?" Lin Xu raised his head curiously, and then saw a black sedan approaching infinitely in his sight.

Danger!

Lin Xu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was hit by a black car. He soared seven or eight meters away, landed on the ground, and blood flowed out from under him.

The black sedan stopped and a sweaty man in a suit walked out of it.

He stared blankly at Lin Xu, who was bleeding constantly, his face pale as paper, and he looked at him at a loss.

"ah……"

"Call an ambulance!"

"Call the police!"

Other pedestrians also saw this scene and shouted.

The whole scene was in chaos.

And all this has nothing to do with Lin Xu.

When the car hit him, he felt only severe pain for a moment, and then he felt nothing at all.

To him, it seemed that the whole world had slowed down.

Facing death, he was not afraid at all, and felt like a passerby, with no sorrow or joy.

The temperature of his body was gradually losing, and he just opened his eyes wide and looked at the scenes ahead.

Blood randomly depicted patterns on the ground, and the hourglass that Lin Xu had bought and the "Fairy Tale World Collection" were scattered not far ahead of him, eroded by his blood.

Lin Xu watched his blood slowly penetrate into the stained glass ball on the hourglass.

I don’t know if it was his illusion, but Lin Xu felt that the hourglass was glowing.

The light became brighter and brighter, covering all Lin Xu's sight.

Lin Xu's world is full of light.

In the next moment, Lin Xu completely lost consciousness.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Lin Xu felt that he was falling.

There is darkness all around!

Suddenly, a light appeared below.

The light enveloped Lin Xu.

Lin Xu suddenly realized in this second that his perception had recovered.

A burst of soreness came from his whole body, and Lin Xu couldn't help but moan, and his eyes opened naturally, and the dark gray ceiling walls caught in his eyes.

"Is this a hospital? Isn't the ceiling of the hospital white?" Lin Xu murmured, and then found that what he said was not the Chinese that he was very familiar with, nor the English and Japanese that he was familiar with, but a strange language.

He turned his head and looked left and right.

The place he is now in is a slightly dark room.

There is only a small window on the high wall, and the light and wind come from here.

A brown square high table, two backrest chairs, and a few gray-yellow candle-like objects are the few daily necessities in this room.

"Where is this?" Lin Xu's tone rose a little, with a hint of panic in his tone.

"Dong...Dong!" At this time, a knock came suddenly from the door, "Master William, it's me."

It was the same strange language, but Lin Xu understood the meaning of it.

With a creaking sound, the door was opened, and a man in black clothes and a bit sad face walked in. He looked about fifty years old.

"Master William, have your injuries been better?" the man with a sad face looked at Lin Xu and asked.

Lin Xu looked at the sad man in confusion, not knowing what he was talking about. He is not William, he is Lin Xu.

The man with a sad face looked at Lin Xu's appearance, with a wrinkle on his face, and a heartache flashed in his eyes, and then he said, "Master William, Master Andrew is loved by the Grand Duke, and the Grand Duke will not preside over justice for us. Let's bear it."

The sad-looking man said ravingly, but Lin Xu was completely confused.

He shouted to the sad man, "Who are you? I am not William, I am Lin Xu."

But I didn't expect that Lin Xu was anxious for a moment. Chinese was mixed with this strange language, and his words were messy and he couldn't hear what he was saying.

When the sad man heard this, he hurried forward, held Lin Xu's hand and asked with concern, "Master William, what's wrong with you? Master Andrew's move is so heavy."

Lin Xu is anxious to say things now. The more anxious he is, the more he can't speak. The more he can't speak, the more anxious he is, and his head begins to hurt.

The man with a sad face held his hand. Lin Xu had a conditioned reflex and gently pushed his hand, and a powerful force came out. The man with a sad face was pushed three or four meters away, pushed to the door of the room, and fell to the ground.

"How could it be?" Lin Xu looked at his hand in surprise. He had just issued the command "Gently swing the strength of his hand" in his mind. How could the man with a sad face be pushed so far by him?

A pair of calloused hands.

But it's not his hands!
