Chapter 2953 Unknown Time Traveler

"Me?"

The little princess seemed very nervous, after all, she had never done such a thing.

"Yes, you also need to practice, and this is a simple thing, isn't it?"

Ajelina glanced at Shade again, and then took the photo to change clothes. Dorothy winked at Carina's maid who had just found Ajelina, and the latter understood and went to find someone to follow the little princess for a while.

Even if it was daytime now, Dorothy would definitely not let Ajelina go on the mission alone.

"She does need some practice. Just reading books and learning from others will not cultivate a good ring wizard."

Dorothy said this after the maid left, and smiled and asked Shade to guess whether Ajelina could complete this task before lunch.

Shad believed in Ajelina very much, not only because of the great things that the little princess had done in the "past life", but also because he really believed that Ajelina was very capable:

"She will succeed."

Shad's feeling was correct. Before lunch, Ajelina successfully brought back the news of the flower girl, and she could even explain the other party's background information in detail.

Ajelina's approach was simple, and she also knew the power of Carson Rickron. If an adult man like Shad spent money to buy the information of an underage flower girl, it would certainly be suspicious, but Ajelina, who seemed to be from an extraordinary family, did this, which only allowed some greedy girls to increase the reward for providing information.

"The person I'm looking for is called Jenny Kerry, a poor girl from the old city, 13 years old. There was nothing unusual in the background check, and no connection was found between her and the Berkeley Used Bookstore."

Shad read the simple report written by Ajelina, which was actually just one page. Luvia asked:

"What do you think the relationship is between the person the old store owner is looking for and the girl selling flowers?"

"The old store owner should be looking for her. Jenny Kerry has no sister. Although her mother is of the right age, she is not a flower girl. The old man and Jenny Kerry should be related by time travel."

Shad put down the page of paper and touched the cat that was eating, and then picked up the knife and fork:

"I used a beacon acorn in the morning, but I didn't feel any time travelers within the city of Vista."

"In the morning, the child must not have left the city of Vista!"

Ajelina said immediately, and was very confident in her conclusion.

Megan wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said to Shade with a smile:

"So, there really are time travelers who can escape your perception and the beacon acorn induction, right?"

"Maybe neither of them is a time traveler, there is another story."

But Flora gave the opposite opinion:

"When Shade first arrived, I thought the perception of the ring warlock and the acorn of the hermit group must be reliable, but now I feel that it is not necessarily the case.

After all, from the perspective of the entire city, there are only one or two time travelers, which is too few. It is impossible that the era when we came to Vista City is the low point of time travelers in this city? Now is the most chaotic period of local time order."

But this also leads to a new problem. If there are really time travelers who can escape Shade's perception and the effect of the beacon acorn, then how did they do it?

The girl Jenny Kerry did not go to sell flowers in the morning, but stayed at home to help her mother who worked in the laundry to wash clothes. After all, the water of the Aronson River in early winter has not frozen yet, so they worked on the riverside all morning.

After lunch, Xia De went to the old town alone again. Downstairs in the slums, he saw a girl who was helping her mother to dry the clothes. She also had no trace of the curse of time, so Xia De could not come to a conclusion yet, who had the problem between her and the old owner of the old bookstore.

As for asking the girl to go to the old bookstore, it was not a very troublesome thing.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the door of the bookstore was pushed open, and the bell rang again. The old owner who was checking a copy of the old book behind the counter looked up and saw the girl who seemed familiar but unfamiliar walked in from the door.

The girl who lived three streets away looked very nervous, but she still walked to the counter and handed the letter in her hand to the old owner:

"A gentleman asked me to deliver this letter."

The old man, who tried his best to control his emotions, stood up and reached out to take the letter handed over by the short girl outside the counter. When the girl wanted to turn around and leave, he called her again:

"Please wait"

For a moment, the innocent girl seemed to see tears flashing in the old man's eyes. His expression at this moment looked very strange, but the girl who had not grown up yet could not understand that this was not very similar to the expressions of those flower buyers who were still broken up after sending flowers.

"The gentleman who asked me to deliver the letter has paid me. Do you want me to deliver the reply letter? But he has left."

"I want to say, do you want to eat candy?"

The old man asked, bending down and taking out a candy jar from under the counter. After the little girl thanked him hesitantly, she stood on tiptoe and reached into the candy jar and grabbed a handful, and then left here quickly. Although she was young, she lived on the street for many years and knew everything.

When the door of the second-hand bookstore was closed again, the old shopkeeper still stared blankly at the door. After a long time, he covered his face and fell back into the chair, crying.

It took him a long time to control his emotions that were close to collapse. When he took his hand away, he found that Shade had reappeared and was reading a copy of "A Midsummer Night's Wish":

"You were really sad when you cried just now."

He put the old book back on the shelf:

"I thought the sound of me coming in would make you control it, but it looks like you didn't even notice me coming."

"I'm sorry, young man. Some people will see through life completely when they get old, but fools like me can't get out of it."

He spoke in a polite manner, and after apologizing to Shade, he went back upstairs to wash his face, and then came back.

Shade looked at his pocket and guessed that the invitation he wanted was in it, but he had other things to do before getting the invitation:

"If you don't mind, you can share your story with me. You have been holding it in your heart for so many years, and you are actually in pain, right?"

"No, that's definitely not pain, that's anticipation."

The old man corrected, although his eye circles were still a little red, his mood had stabilized.

He prepared tea for Shade, and then began to tell the story of his life on this peaceful Saturday afternoon:

"When I first met her, she even looked younger than you. She was also much taller then, you know? She even looked taller than me when she was wearing high heels. It’s higher.”

As he spoke, a smile appeared unconsciously on his lips. Shade picked up the teacup and clinked it with him, then asked curiously:

"So how did you meet her? By chance?"

"No, no, I didn't live in the town when I was young. At that time, I lived with my parents in a village outside the town, working for Mr. Bennet's family. It was a winter, and it rained heavily that year. Snow, my mother took me to the farm to deliver food to my father. On the way back, I met her in the woods wearing thin summer clothes.

She said she was lost. My mother is a very good person. Even though I could tell that something was wrong with her at the time, my mother still invited her to our home. "

"Has she been staying at your house for a long time?"

"Yes, she has lived in my house since then. She never mentioned her origins, but she is a girl who is very good at work. My mother likes her very much, and I also like her very much."

The old man's vision seemed to have traveled through time, and he saw the scene of his youth again:

"When did the relationship between me and her start to change? I don't know. It seems that unconsciously, we started to go to the woods to pick mushrooms together, sit in the grain piles to watch the stars together, and hide together. I kept whispering to my mother until one day in the summer of the second year, she suddenly told me that she was leaving. "

"Going back, right?"

"Yes, she said she finally found a way home. She left in a hurry, leaving me only the pocket watch with her photo on it, and then disappeared without a trace. At that time, the pocket watch was owned by Mr. Bennet It was an expensive product that no big shot could afford. People at that time didn't even know what a camera was.

After she left, I searched for her like crazy for many, many years. Later, my parents passed away and I moved to the town. When I was thirty-five years old, I found an invitation in the mailbox one day and went to that place. "

He did not explain to Shade in detail what "that place" was:

"The people there told me that they could send me to meet her, and they told me clearly that I was meeting someone from the future. But I don't know what era she lived in, and I don't even know her real name— - She obviously didn't want to say it.

But I know I can't give up this opportunity. This may be my last chance. So I said 1835, and then I really came to that time. I didn’t know if I had chosen the right date, so I opened this bookstore where my home used to be in Ximu Town, and looked forward to the day when she would take the initiative to open the door and come in. She is a girl who likes reading. "

The melancholy story is not very long. This is another story about choosing to wait for a long time because of love. The old man behind the counter is just an ordinary person. He came from an earlier era and lived here for 19 years after 1835, but he was not lucky enough to meet the flower girl.

In other words, the girl should have gradually grown up in recent years to resemble the girl in the old man's memory.

If Shade didn't come today, he would probably have to wait for many, many years, and he might even die without knowing that the person he wanted to wait for had already been born and was living not far from here.
