【Bump World】The Storybook of Jiajia and Ruirui

Chapter 21 Jia Rui --- The Shepherd Boy's Fantasy Journey

Crystals are beautiful and fragile.Maybe its real value is just serving a cup of tea to passers-by, but there are still countless people who are intoxicated by this magnificent thing.

Gaderos has stayed here for a long time, and the gods guided him to find a destined person. If he wants to find treasures, he must stay here.

The small crystal shop on the top of the mountain is unpretentious, and the business is deserted like a pool of stagnant water.The boss doesn't worry about business, and spends most of his free time cleaning the crystal products carefully.

"Boss, have you been here all this time? Have you been here since you were born?" It was really boring, Gaderos asked casually.

"No." The boss, Grey, has a good temper and a good heart. It can be seen from the fact that he didn't need employees but let Gardros stay and work. "I used to travel like you, and then I settled down here."

"Don't you want to continue traveling?" Garderos asked.

Gray smiled, "If there is no pursuit, who would go on a meaningless trip? And I no longer pursue it, and there is no need to travel anymore."

Even if that goal is within reach, it is only willing to enshrine it as a belief rather than achieve it.

"I want to make a crystal display rack," the young man's idea is always to dare to challenge the unknown, "I can put the display rack outside to attract customers."

"The wind will blow off the crystals on the shelf and break them." The boss still cherishes the crystals that have been with him all the time, even though they have been dropped by Gaderos.

"Crystals will always break," Garderos said with serious nonsense, "it's part of their life."

But Ge Rui seemed to believe it, so the crystal stand was placed outside the store.The small shop is located on the top of the mountain with no obstacles around. When the sun is good, the crystals reflect a thrilling beauty.

People are drawn to these crystals.The small shop that had been quiet all of a sudden became lively.

Business has never been booming.

After only a while, Garderos had saved enough money to buy some sheep, which he could return home to herd if he gave up the journey.

"Aren't you going back?" Gray originally thought that he would give up the journey and return to his hometown soon, but now it seems that he is not.

"Why do you want to go back? This is a good start." Gaderos was full of confidence, "God gave this good omen, and I should continue to pursue what I came for." Nothing can stop an ambitious teenager adventurer.

"Why are you going to the pyramids?" Gray remembered Gaderos had said his destination, and he wanted to change the subject.

"Because in my dream, there are treasures there." This is a painful and hopeless thought. Garderos has learned what it means to hide, but he doesn't want to hide it from this good boss he recognizes.

"It's just a dream, why do you take it so seriously?" The boss took pity on him, but Garderos didn't need to pity him, "Because I'm still young." The young boy's brows and eyes were full of arrogance, "Young people, you have to make a breakthrough, don't you?"

"Yes." The boss smiled.

Garderos knows what he wants, and he is working hard for it. In the process, he also learned to take care of the crystal and the boss extended his patience. He used to not want to wait for a second, but here, He had to learn to use long hours to polish some crystal vessels.

This went on for two months, until one day Gaderos heard a traveler complain that he could not find a decent place to drink tea after climbing to the top of the slope, which was an omen.

"Why don't we sell tea to those passengers." Garderos suggested again, "There are a lot of people selling tea here." Gray explained patiently.

"We can serve tea in a crystal cup," Garderos was indeed very smart, "no one can refuse that kind of crystal charm." The boy vowed.

Gray stared at him for a while, "Yes." The boss agreed, pampering the boy as before.

"You don't want to?" Garderos didn't want to force Gray to satisfy him.

"That's not true." Gray still wiped the crystals habitually in his spare time, "I've been in this shop for so long, and I'm already familiar with the size and refraction of each crystal." "It turns out that you crystals have been here for so long." No wonder it has been unable to sell..." Garderos nodded thoughtfully.

"..." Thanks to the good temper of the boss, he continued, "If I sell tea in crystal cups, my store will have to expand due to too much traffic, and I will have to change my way of life."

"Isn't that good? You're going to make a lot of money."

"The size of the store is determined by God, and there is no need to be God's darling. Moreover," Gray said, "I am used to this kind of life, I don't know how to change it, and I don't want to change it anymore."

"Not everyone wants wealth, Garderos."

Garderos didn't know what to say for a moment.

"However, since you made this proposal, it means..." Gray said again, "The river of life is unstoppable." When a choice is presented to you, you have to accept it.

Lemon tea was sold in the crystal shop.People go in to drink tea, and the tea is served in gorgeous crystal cups, which is unique.

The small shop quickly became popular. Gray not only renovated the store, but also hired several other employees.

Made a lot of money.Six months passed like this.A lively six months.

The sun rose from the horizon, and Garderos packed his bags. He already had enough money, but he still decided to go on until now.

The city is still sleeping, he thought the boss would not come to see him off, after all the boss is a bit sleepy, but he was wrong.

Gray sat on the threshold and watched the rising red sun with an extremely calm expression, "I'm leaving." Garderos said something, and Gray turned around to look at him, "I have money to buy sheep, I don't want to go. I know what your pursuit was, but I think, if it can be solved with money, then you can continue to pursue it."

The boss said nothing.

"Bless me, we all need this." Garderos smiled, "You are someone I recognize, and I know you have the ability to be recognized by me, so I will come to you in the future." The boy raised his head go outside.

"When is the future?" Gray asked.

"After I find my treasure," Garderos replied.

"Then what if you can't find it?"

"Then I'll keep looking."

"Then what if I don't wait for you?" Gray seemed eager to know the answer.

"Then I'll wait for you here," Garderos said.

Gray finally smiled, he was a gentle person. "I'm not going," he said, "I'll stay here and wait for you."

He blessed Garderos.

Grey also traveled like Garderos on a dusty journey. What Garderos pursued was treasure, but what he pursued was truth.

God will not deceive the world.

He was only one step away from accomplishing what he was after, but when he stood in front of the truth, he delayed taking that last step forward.

The pursuit of truth has become an indispensable thing in his life, and some things don't need to be clear.

Compared with being disappointed and losing interest in the world after understanding too much, he hopes that he will be more confused and live an ordinary life, and maybe he will encounter more surprises instead.

Like Garderos.

Gray does not regret that he chose to give up at the beginning, the goal is not so important anymore.

With a hope, it is also very good to retire early.

Garderos is gone.

After overcoming many obstacles, Garderos finally saw the pyramid, but there was no treasure under the pyramid.

How can dreams have anything to do with reality?

The young man in a mess returned to the city exhausted, and fell into trouble again.He lost all his money and couldn't even return to his hometown.

The crystal shop on the top of the mountain once again declined due to too many competitors, and the tranquility of the past was restored.

There are still exquisite crystal products in the window, and the boss is sitting behind the counter as gentle as jade.

"I'm home."

Reunion.

"Well, I'm back."

He found it, thought Garderos.

The treasure he was looking for had already come to him.

"How long are you going to do this time?" Gray asked.

"lifetime."

How precious crystals are, they need to be cared for for a lifetime.
