"You put this jade on, no matter what happens......" I took off the jade pendant around my neck and carefully stuffed it into Feng's mallet.

"How can this work, the jade pendant is your talisman, if I take it, what will you do......" Feng Bangmallet said vigorously, but his body was very honest, and he had already put the jade on his neck before he finished speaking.

I smiled bitterly, repeated what I had just said, and drove towards Shopkeeper Liu's house.

At this time, the sky has gradually brightened, and there are almost no private cars and pedestrians on the vast road except for buses, so the road is very smooth, and it takes a moment to arrive at the door of Liu's shopkeeper.

Knock Knock......

I raised my arm and knocked on the door, but since the neighbors hadn't gotten up yet, it was very quiet and the knock on the door was loud and harsh.

Knock Knock......

I knocked for a few minutes, but no one opened the door for me, and I looked through the crack in the door, but I didn't even see half a figure.

I increased my efforts to knock on the door, but after waiting for a long time, no one responded, and I was a little impatient, after all, Feng Hui was still waiting for me to save my life.

I took a few steps back and stretched my legs, ready to break into the door for him, when a voice came from the side just as I was about to charge.

"Yo, what are you doing this morning? Debt collection or funeral report? My windows are about to be shattered by you, and you are knocking on the door, and there is no one at home. A sleepy-eyed aunt poked her head out of the crack in the next door.

"Auntie, what about their family? I have an urgent matter with Shopkeeper Liu. "I knew very well that Aunt Hutong was very good at her words, and immediately became much more respectful.

"There are many people who are looking for Lao Liu in a hurry, which round will get you, I haven't seen Lao Liu for half a month, you are also here to collect debts, right? My aunt was interested, pushed open the door and walked up to me, and began to talk like a river.

My heart trembled, I felt that things were not simple, my aunt and Mr. Liu were neighbors across the wall, and they should have looked up and looked down, how could there be a situation where they couldn't see each other in the second half of the month, but he was afraid that the hairpin would be exposed, so he found a place to hide.

But even so, there is still a doubt, how can the shopkeeper Liu's family owe money to others? My aunt regarded me as a creditor at a glance, and many people must have come to the shopkeeper Liu to collect debts.

"Auntie, you really know how to tell jokes, who is Shopkeeper Liu, and he can borrow money from others?" I looked at Auntie with a questioning face.

The aunt was stunned for a moment, became energetic, and half-hunched over and said to me: "Hey, don't say that you don't believe it, I didn't believe it at first, he has been running antiques for half his life, that thing is a profitable business, can he be short of money?"

"Actually, not everyone who deals in antiques is rich, but Shopkeeper Liu is different......" I explained to my aunt.

The aunt interrupted: "Anyway, since the daughter of the old Liu family got sick, I have seen many people ask him for debts, and it is estimated that the family's money is used for his daughter's medical treatment, it's strange, I don't know what kind of disease his daughter has, and he can actually hollow out Lao Liu's family fund......"

I was too lazy to talk to my aunt anymore, so I walked towards the entrance of the alley, planning to ask my colleagues in the antique circle to help me find Shopkeeper Liu as soon as possible, otherwise if I continue to drag it out like this, I may not have the opportunity to be Feng Bangmal's brother-in-law in my life.

Because my mind was all on the hairpin, I didn't bother to look around when I walked, and just turned out of the alley, I ended up colliding with the person from the opposite side.

"Oh, who is so short-sighted!" I quickly backed away, trying to keep my balance and nearly fell to the ground.

The man didn't say a word, glanced at me, turned his head and went into the alley.

"Hey, is there a case like you? ”

I was already holding back a fire in my heart, which was almost lifted on my head again, but the anger came up all of a sudden, reached out and grabbed the man's back collar, and with the force of my arm, pressed the man hard against the wall of the alley.

"It's you!" I saw the person's appearance clearly, and it turned out to be the shopkeeper Liu.

Shopkeeper Liu glared at me, tried to break my arm, and said angrily: "Wu Bin, what do you want to do with this little rabbit cub, it's better not to mess with me, I'm angry now." ”

"Damn, what a coincidence, I'm also angry, if it weren't for the fact that you have some face in the antique circle, I would have greeted you directly. I put my elbow against Shopkeeper Liu's throat, and his face was flushed.

When Shopkeeper Liu saw that I was really moving, he immediately became much more obedient, and slapped my arms with both hands, signaling me to relax.

I moved my elbow down a few centimeters from the throat of Shopkeeper Liu, leaving him a little breathing space.

"Ahem...... You kid is trying to kill me, what the hell is the matter? Just because I cut off your goods before? Shopkeeper Liu snorted and panted.

I reminded, "I'm not here for this!"

Shopkeeper Liu smiled bitterly and said: "That must be for your shop, in fact, I am the middleman pulling fiber, and it is someone else who wants to accept your shop, which has nothing to do with me." ”

I was going to ask about the hairpin, but I didn't expect that this shopkeeper Liu, who did all kinds of evil, actually confessed to other things, which was really an unexpected gain.

I sneered: "Hmph, no one in the antique circle doesn't say that you are treacherous, today I am a teacher, not only cut off my goods, but also want to take my shop, do this bad thing, I am not afraid of retribution, I heard that your daughter ......"

Before I could finish speaking, the shopkeeper Liu pushed me away and roared angrily: "What do you want to do? I do things by myself, and I have nothing to do with my daughter, no one is allowed to talk about her, she is only nineteen years old......

After that, Shopkeeper Liu squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.

When I saw him like this, the anger in my heart subsided a little, and I recalled what my aunt said just now, and confirmed that the shopkeeper Liu's daughter was really sick.

"Okay, a big man is crying, he has no money to see a doctor, I'll lend it to you. I picked up the shopkeeper Liu who was squatting on the ground.

I thought that I would definitely move Shopkeeper Liu to the point of urine, but I didn't expect him to shake his head helplessly and sigh: "It's late, my daughter is stunned, the doctor said that there is more luck and less luck, let me have a psychological preparation, what can I prepare for the dog days, if she has three long and two short, I won't live......"

"Get up, what's wrong with your daughter?" I punched Shopkeeper Liu in the chest to keep him awake.

"It's all because of that butterfly hairpin, since my daughter put it on, her body has been getting worse day by day, sometimes she mutters like she has lost her soul, and blames me for receiving such a thing. Shopkeeper Liu was full of guilt, and while he was talking, he pumped his mouth, and the sound of crackling echoed in the alley.

"Hey, Lao Liu, what are you doing? What are you doing with your mouth, you just owe someone money to pay him back, you can't do it. The aunt just now shouted with her hands on her hips, looking uneven.

I stopped the shopkeeper Liu from self-harm, signaled him to go home and said that my aunt pointed at me aggressively, and her demeanor was full of blame.

Shopkeeper Liu wiped a handful of old tears and led me home, and the aunt next to me scolded reluctantly: "Lao Liu straightens up his waist, it's not a big deal, isn't it just that he owes some money, he can pay it back, and let them wait if he can't pay it back." ”

Obviously, this was said to me, and I guess my aunt really regarded me as a debt collector. Fortunately, I don't have any debt relationship with her, otherwise I would have to be told to death by her three-inch incorruptible tongue.

I followed Shopkeeper Liu into the courtyard and plugged in the deadbolt casually.

The courtyard house of the shopkeeper Liu is very standard, the doors and windows of the main house and the wing room are made of mahogany, and the flowers and birds and beasts are carved, but unfortunately there is a layer of dust on it, and it should not have been cleaned for a long time.

"I won't go around the bend, I'm here for the butterfly hairpin. "I sat on a stone bench in the courtyard and silently lit a cigarette.

Shopkeeper Liu looked up to the sky and sighed for a few seconds, then sat down beside me and asked, "Do you also have a butterfly hairpin?" This is impossible, you must not wear it, throw it away, the farther away the better." ”

I took a puff of cigarette and said with a wry smile: "Hehe, you still know that you can't wear that thing, let's talk about the origin of the hairpin." ”

Shopkeeper Liu looked at me stunned and asked, "You haven't answered my question yet, is the butterfly hairpin in your hand?"

"Who did you give that thing to, and do you still need me to remind you?" I looked at Shopkeeper Liu intently.

"Feng Bangga, did Feng Banggale let you come to me?" Shopkeeper Liu shook his head slightly, a trace of guilt appeared on his face, "I can't help him, but I really can't help it, right, the women in his family are okay?"
