Chapter 7: Old Friends Reunited
Miss Shen's face changed suddenly, and Wang Le'an was also anxious: "Brother, if you have something to say, if you don't buy and sell, you can't be benevolent and righteous, how do you say this?"
Miss Shen took the case: "What kind of master does a charlatan pretend to be? What do you want to prove through this kind of ridiculous arrogance in disguise?
I reached out to the door and said, "Get out!"
Miss Shen stared at me for a long time, gritted her teeth and stood up and turned around to walk out, and the bodyguard next to her walked to the door before turning around and saying, "Boy, you remember that trouble comes from your mouth." ”
I looked at each other coldly: "You can live for three days and then come back and talk to me about this." ”
When Miss Shen heard my words, her face turned slightly pale, and she still walked out of the door with her feet raised.
In the past few years of my business, I have seen a lot of all kinds of people, and no one has seen them. Naturally, I didn't take the other party seriously, and continued to post it to my circle of friends.
The next day, Wang Le'an came up again: "Chen Ye, I got a deal, you can show it." ”
Wang Le'an said this, opened a red cloth bag, and pulled out a compass that had been cut into four pieces.
Compass this thing, unless it is new, no one will accept it, even if the master passes on the apprentice, it is also a new engraver, and he will never pass on the compass he used to the disciple, otherwise it will be passed down the cause and effect, it is a blessing, you have to continue. Woe to you, too.
Whether it's a literary play shop or an antique shop, no one will accept a used compass. Besides, what Wang Le'an took out was still an iron compass.
More than ninety percent of the compasses are made of wood, and a few are made of brass or jade, but no one can make a compass out of iron. Because wood can calm the nerves, the iron itself has the intention of killing, and when the murderous aura comes out, it can't calm the nerves, but can only shock the gods. What's more, that compass was also broken into four petals!
I looked at the compass on the table, "Where did you get this?"
Wang Le'an sloppily looked at me: "Don't care where this thing came from, just say this job, can you take it?"
I put the four-petal compass together, pointed to the center of the compass and said, "Where is the needle in here?"
The center of the compass is called Tianchi, also called the bottom of the sea, which is actually the same as the compass. If the magnetic needle in Tianchi is gone, the compass is not complete.
"This needle...... This needle ......," Wang Le'an said hesitantly: "There wasn't it when you came, right?"
"No, you'd better not be sloppy with me, boy. If you don't understand what's going on, don't say you can't do business. You've got to put your life on the line. ”
I squinted at Wang Le'an: "I'll tell you the truth." Old objects are stained with evil spirits, and broken things are worse than good ones. This compass has been cut into four petals, and it can still come out to harm people, do you think for yourself how powerful it is when it is not broken? Also, Tianchi is the core of the compass, and Tianchi is not complete. You still have evil spirits, and you are not afraid of death and dare to take it from me? Have you lived enough?"
I was just scaring Wang Le'an in a serious way, and from the moment he came in, I felt that this guy was holding back, and he couldn't tell where the magnetic needle was, so it could mean that this thing had nothing to do with him? With his virtue, maybe this compass was taken from the little girl who came over during the day.
Wang Le'an's face turned pale all of a sudden: "Chen Ye, you can save me, this thing is not mine! I just want to make two money, who knows if I can get into trouble! This thing belongs to Shen Yiyu, it is the girl during the day." ”
Wang Le'an saw that my face was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Chen Ye, don't be angry first, the price that person gave is high......!
Wang Le'an found that my face was getting more and more ugly when he said this, so he quickly changed his words: "Chen Ye, don't complain that that girl doesn't attract people to listen to her words." She actually made people scared. You also know that now those who have real skills can starve to death, and those who recruit and deceive can survive. The girl met three masters before and after, and she spent money in vain, not to mention, and delayed things. That's why everyone she meets now asks that. ”
In all fairness, there is nothing wrong with Wang Le'an's words. No matter what kind of business is to pay attention to the price of bright goods, but the warlock industry can't show anything.
Evil spirit, this thing is invisible to ordinary people, and it can't be touched. When you can really see it, it is estimated that it will not be far from playing with your life. Even if a real warlock wants to mix the rivers and lakes, he has to rely on his mouth first, and then look at his hands. What's more, ninety percent of today's warlocks are liars, and those self-proclaimed masters, self-proclaimed masters, really want to be real, and they have to pee their pants in front of their employers.
Wang Le'an saw that I didn't speak, and hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper Chen! Your temper is also a little anxious in the afternoon. It's normal for people to ask for a request, and you just let the family get out? I'll have to pump you. ”
I shook my finger at Wang Le'an: "That woman is not sincere, I don't mean that she wants me to shine on the bottom." I mean, the evil spirit in her body is stained, and she is not the one who hits the evil spirit. And ......"
I reached out and tapped the compass on the table: "This is the inner disk, where is the outer disk and the magnetic needle?"
Many people think that the compass is a whole, in fact, the compass is divided into three parts: Tianchi, inner and outer disk. The inner disc is round, the outer disc is square, and the integration of the three is the complete compass. Wang Le'an brought me just an internal plate. Where are the other two parts of this iron compass?
"This ...... This ......" Wang Le'an hesitated for a long time before he said: "Brother, let me tell you, if you can catch this line, you will already be able to eat in high society." Don't you want to think about it, how many ordinary people play with antiques? Aren't the real good things in the hands of rich people? If you can help Shen Yiyu, will you still have no business in the future? Brother, let me tell you, you have to take a long-term view of business......
"Besides, other girls also know that they are wrong, isn't this a good word, let me come to you?"
I didn't hear what Wang Le'an said later, but his words did make me moved.
My Chen family has experienced calamities since my grandfather, all of them originated from a mysterious item, what that thing is that even my grandfather doesn't know, he just vaguely heard my grandfather mention that it is a thing that can cause a white light to emit a green flame.
My grandfather's disappearance, my father's death, has always been my father's demons, I can't solve this mystery, my grandfather died blindly, and I will regret it for the rest of my life. However, with my white light alone, trying to find such a thing is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. If we can really open up a new path, it would be a good thing.
I hesitated again and again before taking out my backpack from under the counter and following Wang Le'an to the Shen manor.
But I saw three Taoist priests in the Shen manor. In terms of clothing alone, the three people should be from the same Taoist temple. But the three of them sat in different directions, not only did they not communicate with each other, but their eyes were half-closed, and they didn't even seem to mean to look at each other.
Of the four sofas in the living room, one was occupied by each of the three Taoist priests, and Shen Yiyu sat on one by himself, so if I didn't have the idea of sitting with one of them, I could only stand in the living room.
When guests come, they don't arrange seats, but let people stand in the middle of the ground. Shen Yiyu was obviously trying to embarrass me.
I turned my head to look at Wang Le'an and asked him what was going on.
Wang Le'an could only give me a smile, and trotted all the way to the middle of the sofa: "Miss Shen, I invited the shopkeeper Chen, you see ......"
Shen Yiyu looked at me and said, "Is Shopkeeper Chen planning to stand in the distance and talk to me about business?"
When Shen Yiyu spoke, I happened to be standing at the door of the living room, about five or six meters away from her.
Shen Yiyu wants me to go over and stand and talk to her?
Wang Le'an, who was standing in front of Shen Yiyu, gave me a look, meaning to let me hurry over. But I said in a cold voice, "I'm not deaf, I can hear what you say." ”
A sneer appeared on the corner of Shen Yiyu's mouth: "The last time we met, didn't you tell me to get out? Why did you take the initiative to come to me now? I thought that the warlock had a lot of backbone, but I didn't expect to have to bend my waist for five buckets of rice!"
I took a deep look at the other party, turned around and walked out, Wang Le'an chased after him in a few steps: "Chen Ye, listen to me......"
"Say you bullshit!" I shook off Wang Le'an and went straight back to the white light, but before I lit the lantern at the door, I heard a sound of footsteps sweeping the floor from the house, I pulled open the door with my backhand, and then pulled out the dagger with my right hand and wiped it on the neck of the black shadow in the house, and as soon as my dagger pressed the other party's neck, I heard the man shout: "Old class!"
"You, Ye Xuan?" I was stunned by the tearful guy in front of me, and before I could put away the knife, Ye Xuan, who was five big and three thick, hugged me and cried: "Old class! I finally found you! I won't leave, I'm here to join you......"
Ye Xuan cried so much that he burst into tears: "Old class, I'm going to starve to death, do you have anything to eat?"
I took the opportunity to look at the table, there were already a bunch of chicken bones and three or four empty wine bottles on it, Ye Xuan ate all the things I kept for dinner, and asked me if I had anything to eat?
"Wait a while!" I angrily ordered takeout for Ye Xuan, and the guy cried to me while eating: "Old class, since you retired from the army, I haven't had a good life." Some time ago, I finally found a job, but I made another mistake, and the day before yesterday I said a word to the manager, and the goods fell down the floor with the elevator. The general manager begged me to stop doing it, I have nowhere to go, so I can only go to you. ”
Ye Xuan and I are comrades-in-arms, proficient in firearms and martial arts, if it weren't for his fault, he would have become the king of soldiers. It's a pity that the guy has too much bad luck on him, and whoever partners with him is unlucky.
After three months of recruit training, he changed six squad leaders, and the least injured one lay in the hospital for half a year. No one dared to ask for him, so I became his seventh squad leader. Strange to say, the two of us didn't have anything to do together. He also always won awards for the company. After I was discharged from the army, he was selected as a special soldier, and then we lost contact. Looking at it now, he should have also been discharged from the army. It's just that after being discharged from the army, the mix is terrible.
I rubbed my eyebrows: "Okay, you will follow me in the future." You can't be rich, but you can't starve to death. ”
"Okay...... Ye Xuan nodded happily, and ate two more elbows when he was happy. I've always suspected that he is Pixiu, and the amount of food can top my family, and I haven't seen him fat.
Ye Xuan and I drank all night, and before I woke up the next day, I heard someone smashing the door of my shop, and when I went out, I saw that it was a friend of Wang Le'an: "Boss Chen, go and have a look! Brother An, he's gone." ”
