It's autumn, my favorite season.

The heat and bipolarity are gone with the silent cicada sounds. All life is under the warm wind and clouds, showing a full and spiritual side, which corresponds to the characteristics of this season - harvest.

It has been a few days since I returned from Xi'an, and nearby schools have been in school for more than a month, but I found that there has been a problem - the sales that should have risen sharply with the return of these little greedy cats not only did not rise, but instead fell a lot. The store, which was always lively after school, became deserted, which was very different from the past.

Although the continuous sales have no practical significance to my economic situation, I have been operating it for almost a year, and I have seriously regarded it as a career. At least I am used to the scene of people coming and going in the store. I am not used to the sudden desertedness.

I thought about it and sent the fat man and the thin man out, asking them to go around and take a look.

In the evening, the two of them came back and the news they brought back really met my guess.

Just across the street from Buzun, a new store was opened, which also sells desserts.

According to the confessions of Fatty and Slim, this store does not have much capital to compete for business with my store, because compared to the endless variety of desserts, the products sold in this store are really single and low-end - marshmallows, where only marshmallows are sold, with all colors and flavors.

The marshmallows inserted in the glass cabinet are like clouds that stay occasionally, and use different colors to express different moods.

The little greedy cats who had been lingering seem to have put all their thoughts on these soft and easy things. Their temptation to them defeated their love for the past - that is, the constant desserts.

Intuition tells me that this is abnormal.

Since I accompanied Jiu Jue's guy to the first place, to be precise, I accidentally intercepted the gaze that peeped at me but found no trace on the plane back, I felt a little unhappy, or uneasy, or something hidden in the dark, unknown, quietly penetrated into my life in an unfriendly manner, but I was unable to capture it for the time being.

It is said that female-human intuition is keen and precise, not to mention that I am not just a female-human, but also a banshe.

The name of that store is as strange as mine, and it is called—

The sound of dusk.

I heard that the boss of "Mu Sheng" is also a woman.

I think it is a good habit to be close to each other and even a so-called competitor should be visited politely.

The sound of dusk is not far away, but it is a street. But I think what I am going to cross is not just a street distance.

There was wind outside, and today there was no sunshine and the temperature dropped sharply. The fat man and the thin man were busy rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find thick clothes, and the room was messed up.

Today I was not in the mood to yell at the two misfortunes. I just stood in front of the window with my teacup. The heat gradually dissipated from the teacup, staring at the yard, countless golden leaves fell all over the garden.

That gaze that had always made me feel recessive seemed to reflect from every fallen leaf...

I watched the police car drive away from the gate of Musheng, and saw a middle-aged couple with a sad face, supporting each other and walking out of the door of the store. During this period, my wife was obviously not giving up on something and was about to return to the store, but was dragged by her husband. Finally, she got on the car sadly and left in the dust.

Mu is a smart woman. When I first saw her, her eyes changed and told me this fact.

No one's eyes can look so beautiful, and it flows continuously under the long eyelashes. It is not only a living eye, but a living green that can only be nurtured by heaven and earth. After watching for a long time, it seems to melt into your body and consciousness without any obstacles.

Wisdom cannot be pretended, and Tsubasa's eyes make things like wisdom tangible.

I didn't even ask about the police car and the couple. She had already poured me a glass of juice with a smile and said in a leisurely manner: "I heard that there have been several disappearances recently, and ** have been here several times."

She spoke so naturally, like reposting a weather forecast.

I held the glass of orange juice and swayed gently like red wine. I didn't plan to drink it. I just thought the color was beautiful, just like the decoration of this shop, with thick and uniform colors, mainly dark green, beautiful and elegant, but in the end I felt a sense of stubbornness. As well as the furnishings, tables, chairs, cabinets and lamps in the shop, they were round and square, without any novel and confusing shapes. Without the tassel tablecloths spread on the table, they were slightly agile, and they were a little smart, this shop would not have any charm that attracted children.

The most important thing is that the dessert cabinet, which should be the main one, only occupied an inconspicuous corner of the store. A few red, yellow, blue and green marshmallows were trembling lonely in the occasional wind. Compared to mine, it was so desolate here.

It is impossible to argue if you are snatched from such an opponent.

"If it were someone else, you would be more than panic when facing those **s." I put down the orange juice and looked at her with approval, "You are very calm."

"Those missing children did come to visit my shop before they disappeared. But they left after buying things. I answered the same amount of time." Mu said lightly, looking at my unmoved juice, "Why, the juice doesn't fit the taste of Miss Roufu?"

"I like tea." I smiled and put down the cup, "but your juice looks great in color."

Yes, the color of the juice is very beautiful, but everything here is not as good as Mu in front of me. I rarely admire the beauty of a same-sex from my heart. Except for the fairy of the snow-robed woman back then, Mu is the second one. I admire those girls who use the simplest ornaments and the most casual, and give birth to the most touching charm and charm. Those who are much more clever than the deliberate beauty produced by meticulously crafted, and it is easier for you to keep it in your heart.

Mu's clothes were just a simple knitted light green long skirt, with a thin belt, and a piece of snow-white ankle was slightly exposed on the white flat shoes. A red string was tied to the top, and a small, inconspicuous green pendant at the end of the rope, which made her perfect skin look delicate and cute. Mu's long hair was casually tied behind her head, and she couldn't tell any shape, like a half-open rose, with a unique dry flower bun in her hair, and every move brought out the clear and spiritual energy flowing in the mountains and forests.

Such a woman, sitting in front of her with a little indifferent smile, is hard not to attract you.

If I were a man, I might fall in love with her at first sight.

I have an indescribable familiarity with her and the willingness to be close to her. This is a strange change for me, who is always used to being cold and cold to those who meet for the first time.

This woman, but I didn't plan to confront her with her business.

We continued to chat. She said that she had just arrived and had passed by me and bought desserts. She also heard that there was a beautiful boss lady who kept coming. Unfortunately, I was not here when she went there. There was only a thin man like a bamboo pole and a fat man like a ball in the store. The two of them were rushing to pack her desserts, and the thin man was salivating and asked her to call her.

Is there a different fight here?

"Ah... my two helpers are always very enthusiastic about customers." I said with a smile, but I was viciously thinking about how to deduct the fat and thin man's wages, on the grounds that I ruined the image of our store.

"It's passionate to female customers." She smiled with her mouth, charming and pretty, "But your dessert tastes so good. That's why I was thinking of opening a dessert shop. Although there are many desserts I don't know how to make, my marshmallows seem to be very popular with children."

"Haha, that's not it. My customers were all stuck away by your marshmallows." I joked deliberately, and my seemingly casual eyes wandered around her shop.

Of course I know that this cannot be an ordinary dessert shop, and even more, the beautiful woman named Mu in front of me cannot be an ordinary woman, although she tries to play herself very ordinary.

I can't see through Mu. She shouldn't be a monster. No matter how old the monster is, with my cultivation level, I can tell the unique smell on them at the first time. The so-called monster energy is a mark that monsters cannot get rid of in their entire lives. However, I did not find a similar suspicious smell from Mu. However, intuitively, she is unlikely to be an ordinary human.

While I continued chatting with her, I did not find anything unusual in this store. I only had a book on the adjacent table, "On the Harm of Separatist Margins of the Feudal Governor" which aroused my interest.

"Do you like this kind of historical research book that doesn't have much fun?" I pointed to the paperback book that has obviously been retold, "I thought you would like Zhang Ailing or Zhang Xiaoxian more."

"The so-called vassal kings are just chaotic officials. They should eliminate them and eliminate future troubles. Do you think this is true?"

She actually asked me this question.

Although I am a monster who has lived for many years, I have heard of the separatist vassal states that emerged after the Anshi Rebellion, but at that time I did not pay attention to these major national affairs, I could not answer the questions of the dusk.

"Why don't they say that the vassal kings are clearly guarding the border for the emperor and sharing their worries and problems. If the vassal king is in power, what's wrong with the vassal kings taking over?" Mu's tone was obviously a little quicker, as if he was arguing with others.

This is such a strange woman. In a moment, she dragged the gossip and family-to-mortar into the heavy weight of historical facts.

Could it be that this is another female literary youth, art youth and angry young man who has read too many books and read himself into a female literary youth who has exceeded the scope of normal thinking?

"But that's still not possible, that's all the past thousand years." I didn't plan to discuss this old news that had been covered with loess with her.

She smiled, and the temperature of her smile was extremely low: it might not have passed."

I think it's time for me to say goodbye.

It is not difficult to see that when she met for the first time, she was testing, and I was testing too.

The two armies face each other and the future will be long.

"You are so beautiful." Mu suddenly said as I was about to get up and leave, his eyes were seriously looking at my face.

Looking at each other, my eyes passed over her beautiful eyes, and her eyes fell from my face to my wrist. After a long time, she smiled coldly and said, "The Red Gold Dragon Pattern Peaceful Buckle... I heard that the boss's wife constantly treats gold as her life, and it is true."

My eyes fell back to the gadget made of a thousand-full gold on my wrist, deliberately shaking it out of tinkling movement: "I like cash, too."

"Haha, go slowly." Mu waved his hand towards me.

Not far outside the gate of Musheng, there is a Tianyan, which was installed two months ago. It is said to be in response to urban safety construction. This is also the reason why ** came to Mu after the four children disappeared. According to the monitoring content of Tianyan, the last place where the four children appeared before they disappeared was Musheng.

I watched the video content in Tianyan several times - it was nothing, it was not difficult for an old monster like me to get these information from relevant departments.

There must be some gains. I found a common problem from these videos of different time periods - the only scenes of these children walking into the Musheng, and when they walked into the door, the video seemed to be disturbed by some kind of interference, and in the next two hours, there were only chaotic noises.

If Mu told those children that they had left Mu Sheng within the two hours of the sky eye short circuit, they could only choose to believe it temporarily, because there is no evidence to prove that she was lying.

There is no guilt, and human laws must tell evidence. But I am a monster or an old monster who has traveled the world for thousands of years. I believe more in my intuition and vision of knowing people.

I don't hate Mu, but I'm sure she has problems, her point has problems. The four missing children must be related to her.

The fat man and the thin man liked the new task I assigned them very much - transforming into handsome boys and going to the school of the four children to inquire. The joy of getting close to countless cute little lolities instantly filled the loss of business in the store.

Fortunately, these two guys are not too owed to take photos, so they brought me some useful information.

The four children are all first-year students from the nearby No. 12 Middle School. They have no bad records, their grades are average, and they are at the middle level in their respective classes, and they are not outstanding in all aspects. However, they are regular visitors to Musheng.

To be precise, many children in this school are regular visitors to Musheng. They say that Musheng is a magical point, not only because the marshmallows there are delicious, but also because the bosses there will be free divination for others and use a tool called Tarot card. Moreover, the results she gives are always surprisingly accurate. Therefore, they all like to look for Mu because they have too many futures they want to know and confusions that cannot be solved.

The fat man and the thin man told me the gossip he heard and the mouths were splashing.

"Tarot...Divine..." I murmured, taking a sip of Fusheng, this bitter taste made me feel at ease. Recently, not only have fewer young guests in my store, but also fewer monsters who harass me. I didn't have any chance to invite others to drink Fusheng, so I just made it for myself.

"Boss, that boss lady is afraid that it is not a good thing to take care of!" The thin man rubbed his chin and the fat man came over and said, "Yes! He is obviously the biggest suspect, but he looks like he is not at ease. He can't see any flaws! Yesterday, I saw a pair of missing children running to the dusk, twisting her, and finally cried and kowtowed, asking her to tell the whereabouts of the child, but this woman just looked at them coldly and smiled, saying that she didn't know the whereabouts of the child! This woman is definitely not a good person!"

"Isn't you a good person, you still have to patronize others?" I glanced at the fat man with cotton candy on the corner of my mouth and snorted coldly, "Okay, you continue to work in the store. Don't go out for public service anymore. I will do the rest."

The thin man blinked his eyes and asked strangely: "Boss, you are not possessed by a hero. You are planning to get those children back, right? Their parents are not rich people. They cannot give you a lot of gold like those monsters! You never do business at a loss!"

I took a deep breath, raised my hand and pointed at the kitchen, with murderous intent on my eyes, and said with the last patience: "You guys...get out and cook!"

After following me for so long, these two guys had a tacit understanding with me and rushed to the kitchen like a rabbit.

I drank all the tea in my cup in one gulp, and watched the setting sun outside the window gradually become colder and the pedestrians were sparse. I thought it was time to meet that woman again.

【three】

The moon on the autumn night is always clearer and yellower than ever, although the brighter the color, the more lonely it looks.

It was almost early morning, and in the evening, except for the unflattering conversation between me and her, there was only the faint smell of roses and incense.

She still gave me a cup of orange juice and didn't make tea.
