Chapter Seventy-Six: Old Wu Shopkeeper

Originally, I thought that this person would be happier after hearing their identity, but who would have thought that this person would still be angry after hearing their words, "What does it have to do with us, you have nothing to do, just leave if you have nothing to do." ”

This made Sun Hancheng and the three of them a little at a loss, and Shen Meng said: "This gentleman, if you don't know about this matter, please tell Shopkeeper Wu that we are here for the maritime map." ”

After hearing the three words of the maritime map, the man said even more resolutely: "What is the maritime map, I don't know, you can go quickly." ”

After saying that, this person wanted to close the door, but Sun Hancheng pushed the door with his hand so that he couldn't close the door, and said: "Don't close the door yet, I seriously doubt who you are now." ”

The man's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Shopkeeper Wu is my father, who do you say I am, hurry up and leave, you are not welcome in my family." After saying that, the man still wanted to close the door.

Sun Hancheng's hand still pushed them and said: "Even if you don't know us, you have at least heard of the Shanshui Museum, these two have already reported their names, Old Man Wu is also in the antique business, and now that people from the museum have arrived, even if they didn't know each other before, they should be very happy, why don't you dare to let us in." ”

Sun Hancheng stared at this person's eyes, obviously seeing a panicked look in this person's eyes, he laughed and said: "What, are you a little panicked, let's be honest, who are you, where is the shopkeeper Wu." ”

The man looked hesitant, not knowing what he was thinking, and then suddenly heard an old voice from behind this person: "Wu Tong, let them in." ”

When the man heard the voice behind him, he answered softly, reopened the door, and said, "Please come in." ”

The three of them looked at each other and didn't know what this meant, could it be that this man was just trying to test them just now, and the specific reason was really uncertain.

When I walked into the room, I saw an old man in a wheelchair, the old man was thin and thin, and his face was wrinkled, and he was almost seventy years old.

Sun Hancheng met Mr. Wu a few times when he was in the West Market, so he immediately recognized this person as Mr. Wu Changhe, the old shopkeeper of Fengqing Pavilion. It's just that this appearance has changed too much, but at that time, the body of the shopkeeper Wu was still quite handsome, and now it is much worse than before.

The three of them hurriedly greeted Old Man Wu, Wu Changhe had obviously heard Shen Meng's introduction before, and after greeting the three of them, he let the three of them into the hall.

After everyone sat down in the room, a teenage girl brought tea, and the middle-aged man had been standing beside Wu Changhe, with a cloudy expression on his face, obviously very worried.

Sun Hancheng and the three of them didn't have the heart to drink tea, Zhao Luhai first couldn't hold his breath and said: "Shopkeeper Wu, we don't talk darkly, that maritime map of the Song Dynasty is in your hands." ”

Shopkeeper Wu smiled, but his smile was a little painful, and he said, "That's right, that maritime map is indeed in my hand." ”

Hearing Shopkeeper Wu's words, several people's faces showed a hint of joy, obviously knowing that they had found the right person.

Shen Meng couldn't hide his joy and said: "Old man Wu, since we have already found you, let's talk about the price and settle this matter as soon as possible." ”

After listening to this, Shopkeeper Wu waved his hand and said, "I won't sell this thing." ”

Several people were stunned after hearing this, and they couldn't believe it, this was very different from their assumptions, thinking that Old Man Wu would definitely make a quick move.

"Shopkeeper Wu, what do you mean by this, isn't it in the news we got that you want to sell this thing?" Zhao Luhai became anxious after hearing this.

Shopkeeper Wu said helplessly: "That's right, I also admit that the news was released by us, but now I don't want to sell the maritime map." ”

"Why?" even Shen Meng was surprised.

"As for why, I'm sorry I can't say it for the time being, I'm really embarrassed to let you run for nothing. The old man said with an apologetic expression.

Zhao Luhai said a little depressedly: "Shopkeeper Wu, have you already made a move on this thing?"

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you about other things, so you better go back. The old man began to open the door to see off the guests.

"Shopkeeper Wu, let's discuss it carefully. Zhao Luhai finally came to the door, so naturally he couldn't just give up.

The young man known as Wu Tong had already walked to the side of several people at this time and said: "A few people, please go, if there is anything that is not well received, I will personally go to the Shanshui Museum to apologize after a while, and I will not stay much today." ”

Hearing what others said, Shen Meng was thin-skinned and could only stand up, buying things is one who is willing to buy and one is willing to sell, since others don't want to sell, no matter what the reason, it's not good to stay any longer.

Zhao Luhai was also helpless, he couldn't have imagined that the clues he had found so hard to find would become like this.

But Sun Hancheng walked to the body of a few people at this time, and after walking in, Sun Hancheng looked around in this hall for a while, and then looked at Old Man Wu and said: "Shopkeeper Wu, I know that you must have something unspeakable and difficult to say, why don't you let me guess?"

Shopkeeper Wu looked at this young man with a surprised face, he didn't know what the origin of this person was, but when he saw this young man's confident face, he said: "You don't have to guess the little brother, it's useless to guess." ”

Sun Hancheng saw the expression on the face of Shopkeeper Wu and said more confidently: "How do you know it's useless, if you want to believe it, we can help you." ”

Shopkeeper Wu glanced at Sun Hancheng and smiled coldly and said, "Young man, how can you be sure that you will be able to help me." ”

"I can just help you, but it depends on whether Mr. Wu is willing to believe us. Sun Hancheng kept looking at the eyes of the shopkeeper Wu with a sincere face.

The two looked at each other for about half a minute, and then Shopkeeper Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Well, since that's the case, it's actually nothing to tell you." ”

He glanced at the middle-aged man named Wu Tong next to him and said, "Wu Tong, you go outside the door, no matter who comes, tell him that I am not at home when I go out." ”

Wu Tong's brows furrowed, and he looked at Sun Hancheng and a few people, but finally walked towards the door.

Hearing that this old man Wu was going to tell the truth, Shen Meng and Zhao Luhai both sat back and listened carefully.

Old Shopkeeper Wu picked up the water cup next to him and took a sip, and said helplessly: "Since you want to know, then I don't mind telling you the truth of the matter." ”

Then the shopkeeper Wu said the matter, the content of the front is similar to what Sun Hancheng knew from the old farmer, this maritime map has indeed been in his hands for a long time, and he has always been safe, but not long ago, someone from the underground cultural relics organization found him to buy this painting, and the price was attractive.

Originally, Old Man Wu was not short of money, and this picture was also his beloved thing, so he naturally didn't want to sell it, but the people from the underground cultural relics organization came to the door three times and twice and even showed a threat, which had to make Old Man Wu feel a sense of crisis.

Especially in the past few days, the members of the underground cultural relics organization have become more and more urgent, which makes Old Man Wu feel that this matter is not quite right, so he thought of spreading the news and letting capable people protect this national treasure.

"Then why doesn't the old man want to sell it now?" Shen Meng asked strangely.

In fact, several people have such questions, looking at what the old man said before, it is obvious that he does not want to sell this thing to the underground cultural relics organization, and the situation has begun to become very tense, and it has reached the point where he has to make a move, but the sudden change at this time makes them very curious.

Old Man Wu sighed and said: "Maybe my method of leaking the news yesterday was a bit reckless, which angered the people of the underground cultural relics organization, but I got the news early this morning, they kidnapped my little grandson, saying that if you dare to sell things to others, you will kill my grandson." ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Wu's emotions suddenly became excited and said: "You also know those people, they can do anything, if I don't agree to them, then the safety of my little grandson really can't be guaranteed." ”

Sun Hancheng and the three of them were a little surprised after hearing this, and it was unexpected, they originally thought that those underground cultural relics organizations were commanding coercion and temptation, but they didn't expect to really kidnap his little grandson.

The old shopkeeper said helplessly: "You said that what can I do if such a thing happens, I can only promise to sell them the maritime map." ”

When Sun Hancheng heard this, he was slightly stunned and said, "The old shopkeeper, you said that you promised to sell them the maritime map, right?"

The old shopkeeper nodded and said, "Yes, that's what they said, they can only sell to them." ”

Sun Hancheng thought for a moment and asked, "Then how long has your little grandson been kidnapped?"

"My little grandson is not in Nanjiang but is going to school in his hometown in Hezhou, and after hearing the news of his little grandson's kidnapping, I have asked several members of my family to rush over there. ”

After hearing this, Sun Hancheng finally understood it and said: "These underground cultural relics organizations are simply a bit too much, and they actually use such despicable means to blackmail you, can you bear this breath, old man?"

The old shopkeeper said helplessly: "What can I do if I can't bear such a tone, I'm already old, not the kind of me who could fight with anyone when I was young, and now I'm a bad old man who is bullied." ”

Sun Hancheng approached the old shopkeeper and whispered: "The old shopkeeper, I have an idea, I can save your grandson, and you can leave things in the country, I don't know if you can try." ”

The old shopkeeper was a little surprised after hearing this, glanced at Sun Hancheng, and asked with a look of disbelief in his eyes: "Young man, what can you do?"
