Chapter 178 Department Store

Feng Nian opened his eyes again, and found that she had come to the most prosperous period of the department store. At this time, she was wearing a purple cheongsam, her long hair was coiled up high, and the sneakers on her feet had been replaced with flat shoes.

There are many people coming and going in the department store, and tourists from other places gathered outside the building to take pictures. People riding Phoenix bicycles on the street rang their bells to remind pedestrians to avoid; rickshaw drivers shouted their business loudly.

The department store building was as bright as ever, and the department store was crowded with people.

What about Wei Zhen? Did he fall here too?

After Feng Nian glanced at the brand new department store, she walked into the crowd, she wanted to find Wei Zhen quickly.

Since she was also dressed in the costumes of that era, it means that Wei Zhen should be the same, so to find someone, you can't find someone through clothing, but through body shape and appearance.

The bell tower outside the department store suddenly rang, which was a reminder of twelve o'clock at noon. At this time, many people entered the restaurant on the third and fourth floors of the department store to eat, and most of the people in Zuncheng gathered here.

The crowd was bustling, and she kept shuttling through the crowd, anxiously looking for that figure she was familiar with, and she had never been so afraid that she would never see that person again when she turned around.

"Near."

A familiar voice sounded behind her, and she couldn't believe it, for fear that when she turned her head, it wasn't the person she was thinking of;

The footsteps behind her gradually approached, but she still decided to turn around.

Only one person away from her is Wei Zhen.

Wei Zhen put a smile on his originally cold face, his little fox came to him, and he spread his hands.

Feng Nian threw herself into Wei Zhen's arms without thinking, and she said softly, "It's a good thing you're fine."

At this moment, the department store suddenly shook.

She and Wei Zhen raised their heads at the same time, and she said "no", it wasn't that the department store was shaking, but that this illusion had already begun to collapse. She immediately took Wei Zhen's hand, "Hold me tight, don't let go, I'll take you out."

Wei Zhen nodded, and took Feng Nian's hand, her hand was very soft, as soft as jade, and it also softened his heart.

Feng Nian recited the spell silently, and saw a layer of lavender light enveloping the two of them, and soon, the two of them disappeared in the purple light.

——

When Yan Sheng and the others were hesitating whether to report to Wei Guichang, they saw a cloud of purple light appear in front of them, and with a flash of purple light, Wei Zhen and Feng Nian appeared in front of them.

Yan Sheng wept with joy, "Master Wei, you are finally back." Ke looked around and found that only Wei Zhen and Feng Nian had returned, so he asked, "Where are the others? Didn't they come back?"

However, Wei Zhen and Feng Nian didn't stop and passed Yan Sheng directly.

Feng Nian pointed to a corner of the department store surrounded by iron plates, and said to Xue Rui, "Get some people over and move the iron plates away."

Xue Rui didn't hesitate, and immediately called a few people, and moved the surrounding iron plates according to the position Feng Nian pointed out.

After the rusty iron plate was removed, a corner of the department store appeared in everyone's sight, and some sand and gravel slipped down.

"There is a small door here." Xue Rui was the first to discover a door in the corner that only allowed one person to pass through. It looked like the gatekeeper of the former department store.

"Split," Feng Nian said succinctly, she wanted to bring out the other people who were still in the illusion as soon as possible, because time was running out, and once the illusion collapsed, Chen Yuchuan and the others really couldn't get out again.

I don't know where to find a big axe, so Ruixiang hacked directly at the door. The "Huangdang" iron gate was split straight open like this.

A puff of dust came head-on, mixed with a musty smell.

"Is there someone?" Xue Xiang's slightly surprised voice sounded, because he saw the figure of a person sitting upright in a small dark room.

The searchlight shone straight in. The figure clearly appeared in front of everyone. In other words, it cannot be called a human being at all.

A dark-brown, withered man, with his head bowed down, looks short and looks like a man. He should have lost his breath a long time ago, but he has been sitting quietly in the department store all this time. The gatekeeper seemed to be guarding something.

My name is Guan Nansheng. When I was young, my father often took me to play in department stores.

My mother has been in poor health since I was born, so my father took me most of the time. As long as I cry, my father will put me on his shoulders and take me to see the neon lights on the outer wall of the department store. As long as I see colorful neon lights, I will calm down, stop making noise, and even take pictures. Proceed to laugh.

My mother couldn't take it anymore and died when I was four years old. My father endured the grief and took me alone. However, for a big man with a four-year-old child, the pressure can be imagined. My father found a job serving dishes in the restaurant on the third floor of the department store.

My father was worried about leaving me alone at home, so he had to take me to the back kitchen of the restaurant. From the window of the back kitchen, I saw the neon lights on the outer wall of the department store. I sat quietly every day, watching the lights, waiting Watching my father call it a day and take me home.

When I was sixteen, my father was seriously ill. I decided not to go to school, and rely on my own efforts to let my father enjoy his old age.

The manager of the department store was very sympathetic to what happened to my father and son, so he let me work as a gatekeeper in the department store. Every day when it was still daylight, I opened the small door and cleaned the fallen leaves in front of the department store. In the middle of the month, after everyone left the department store, I closed the door~www.wuxiax.com~ Day after day, week after week of work, for me, I don’t feel boring, because I They can welcome everyone who comes to the department store with a smile.

However, my hair is gradually graying, my back is gradually bent, and the number of visitors to the department store is decreasing day by day. The restaurants, hotels, and western restaurants in the department store gradually withdraw from the department store because they cannot make ends meet. Only the department stores on the first and second floors are struggling.

Later, the department store also reduced the operations on the second floor, leaving only the first floor. Although it was a nostalgic brand, it couldn't help the decrease in customers. In the end, the department store was completely closed.

I especially remember the last day of the closing of the department store. The employees in the company were very reluctant. Except for the employees of the department store, there were also some customers who rushed over that day. This is the memory of the old Zuncheng people, who witnessed Zuncheng start, development and growth.

No matter how reluctant people are, the closing time of the day has come. The manager of the department store bowed deeply to the people present, thanking them for their continuous support to the department store, and he closed the door of the department store with his own hands. . Since then, no one has operated the department store.
