Chapter 8: The Old Gun of the Antique Circle
Feng Bangmao was so frightened that he hid in a corner, holding the jade pendant in front of his chest with both hands, and muttering words like the Bodhisattva's blessing.
"Xiaobin, help...... Sister!" Feng Hui twisted her stiff neck and made a clicking sound, her eyes mixed with longing and helplessness for life.
Seeing that her sister had regained consciousness, Feng Bangmao couldn't help but feel a little bolder, and slowly walked towards her, but just when she was close to her, suddenly, Feng Hui's eyes became sad, as if she had instantly become another person, and a whimpering sound came out of her mouth.
Feng Bangmao quickly retreated a few meters away, looking at his human-like sister vigilantly.
The residence of the three scars is not far from my house, only about ten minutes by car.
I pushed open the door, lit a cigarette, and silently surveyed the courtyard with three scars.
There are two stone piers at the entrance of the courtyard, on which are carved several lotus flowers, which means that the lotus gives birth to a noble son.
There are two faded portraits of the door god posted on the mottled courtyard door, the upturned corners are rustling with the wind, the most conspicuous but the door knocker next to it is actually a brass gilt process, but the gold leaf on it is worn out a lot, and it is difficult to hide the loneliness after the majesty.
I knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response.
"Shopkeeper Liu, what is the ancestor of the three scars doing? This courtyard is magnificent enough. "I found that the courtyard door was open, so I tried to push it.
Squeak......
The door was unlocked, and with a slight effort, it was opened.
Shopkeeper Liu walked into the courtyard, and while probing the figure of the three scars, he answered my question: "It is said that the ancestor is a prince, I think this is a bit outrageous, he will put gold on his face, how can there be so many princes in the world, at most he is a dog leg who is on an errand in the palace." ”
"Ahem, who ran into my yard to chew his tongue, and if he said more, I would break his dog's legs. ”
A shout came from the hall, and then out came an old man with gray hair, with three dazzling scars on his forehead.
Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly walked forward with the wine and meat prepared in advance, and said politely: "Master Scar, we came to you today for something......!
Three scars glanced at the shopkeeper Liu, and finally his eyes fell on the wine and meat in his hand, I saw this situation, a few big strides leaned up, three times five divided by two put the wine and meat in front of him.
Three Scars picked up a piece of fat and trembling pig's head meat, and couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth, while glancing at me twice.
"Scar, it tastes good, I can eat it every day......" I asked softly.
Sandao Scar didn't squeak, picked up a glass of white wine and sent the meat in his mouth into his abdomen.
Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly filled the wine for the three scars, although he didn't like to serve others, but at the moment he could only do this.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" said the three scars, caressing their round belly.
"We have a problem and would like to ask you to come and help solve it. "I was afraid that the three scars would refuse, so I didn't directly say the reason.
Three scars lifted a handful of gray hair, three slender scars were exposed, according to my experience, the scars should be scratched by the claws of fierce beasts, because they are not much different in size and space, I once saw an old man who was scratched on the back by a bear, and the scar is this kind of isometric injury.
Could it be that the three scars have also fought with bears or other beasts?
"What are you looking at, little rabbit? Watch out as I pull your eyeballs out. Three Scars stretched out two dry fingers and shook them in front of my eyes, I knew that he was just gesturing, so he didn't dodge, but the shopkeeper Liu, who was standing on the side, took a few steps back and looked at him vigilantly.
I have long heard that Sandao Scar is a donkey temper, and the more you urge him, the more he procrastinates, so although he is anxious, he can only suppress his temperament and ask softly: "Master Scar, I really encountered difficulties, so I came to you, and I really didn't hide it from my father before he died, and told me to come to you if I encountered difficulties, you see ......"
"Haha...... Old Wu is an old thing, so I knew he would say that. Three Scars picked up his glass, raised his head and drank it.
Shopkeeper Liu picked up the wine bottle and was about to fill it with three scars, only to see him put the wine glass on the table and sighed: "You guys have encountered ghosts, right?"
Shopkeeper Liu and I looked at each other, did I think that Sandao Scar was a half-immortal, how did he know that I had met a ghost? I never revealed the slightest news to outsiders.
Shopkeeper Liu quickly shook his head, saying that he did not mention the ghost thing to the three scars.
I couldn't help but ask, "How do you know?"
The three scars pointed at the shopkeeper Liu casually, and said jokingly: "The shopkeeper Liu is a human spirit in the circle, but there is nothing he can't bluff when it comes to human relations, but now even he has come to beg me, what does it mean? It means that what you encounter is not personnel, but ghosts!"
Shopkeeper Liu and I suddenly realized, and couldn't help but have a little more respect for the three scars in front of us.
Sandao Scar said proudly: "Since Old Ghost Wu has said so, what else can I do?" ”
I immediately followed, and the shopkeeper Liu, who was standing on the side, also wanted to take a look, but was stopped by three scars.
"Shopkeeper Liu is waiting outside the door, I'll have a few words with the little rabbit cub, don't worry, don't say bad things about you. The three scars smiled mysteriously at the shopkeeper Liu, and the shopkeeper Liu didn't say anything more, so he was stunned at the door.
"Wu Lao Ghost has not lived in vain in this life, when he was alive, the people in the circle couldn't do without him, I didn't expect to be dead for so many years, there are still people who can't do without him, yes, the antique circle is a more greedy business than anyone, as long as people can't quit greed, the ghost goods will always be there, as long as the ghost goods are there, are you still worried about it?"
The three scars closed the door of the house, and after making sure that the shopkeeper Liu was not eavesdropping outside the door, he staggered to a large wooden box, patted the lid, and motioned for me to open it.
When I opened the wooden box, I found that there were two wooden boxes, one red and one black, judging from the color of the wood, the red one was made of yellow rosewood, and the black one was made of red sandalwood.
"Take the black one away! What should I do is clearly written, everything depends on your creation, I can't help you with an old bone frame." Three Scars tapped their fingers on the black wooden box.
But instead of reaching out to hold the box, I asked puzzledly, "Third Master, what's in the other box, why do you only let me hold the black one?"
Sandaoscar sneered: "Hehe, you little rabbit cub, it's really exactly the same as your father, don't ask me why, I don't know, it's all your father's explanation, if you have any questions, ask him." ”
At this point, I didn't know what to say, I reached out and took out the black rosewood box, and just as I was about to open the lid, suddenly, one of the big hands of the three scars pressed on it.
"When I go home, there is another important matter, which needs the help of Shopkeeper Wu. Three Scars said, staring into my eyes.
Without hesitation, I replied, "You say, if I can do it." ”
Sandao Scar smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, it's nothing, my son is getting married, and I'm going to buy him a house, and I'm almost a little money, you see?"
I put the rosewood box back in the big box, and the three scars were confused by my actions, and said, "What's the matter? I don't want anything? This is your father's relic!"
"Why not, I'm taking you money, say, how much?" My fingers had already touched the check on my chest for 660,000 yuan.
"It's not much, let's take 660,000 first, 66 or 66 Shun, it's auspicious, but don't worry, I'll pay you back in ten days and half a month." Three Scars glanced at the door, lowered his voice, and continued: "I left a few things that press the bottom of the box, which can be sold for a lot of money, and I will pay you back when I get out." ”
I looked around the three scars, and I had to smile bitterly, although there were some old objects scattered around, but they were all street goods, and they couldn't sell for any money at all, and I didn't know what he called the stuff at the bottom of the box, no matter how much, the current priority was to subdue the hairpin on Feng Hui's head as soon as possible, maybe the solution was in the wooden box.
I hesitated for a few seconds, then gritted my teeth and slipped the check into Three Scars' hands, picked up the rosewood box and walked out of the room.
Just walked a few steps, and there were three scars behind him to thank him: "You kid is righteous, like your father's seed, if there is anything in the future, come directly to the third master, I have nothing to say." ”
I sat in the car and sighed: "Hey, I hope my father won't cheat his son, otherwise I spent 660,000 yuan to buy a blind box." ”
