Sent away Shen Tianming, Melissa returned to the bachelor apartment, if you take the long-distance bus at eight o'clock in the morning, it will be almost eleven o'clock when you return to your hometown, it is already about half past one in the morning, in order not to go home tomorrow with two panda eyes, so that grandma is worried, Melissa hurriedly lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and hoped that at this point, it will be too late to sleep and beauty.

At seven o'clock in the morning Melissa was woken up from her sleep by the alarm clock, and she closed her eyes somewhat reluctantly, wanting to sleep a little longer, when she suddenly remembered that she had returned to her hometown, and sat up at once.

Sleepy-eyed, she was wearing pink KT cat pattern pajamas, standing in front of the sink and busily washing, time passed like this, Melissa tied her long hair high, looking fresh and neat.

Today, she is different from the heavy makeup of the past, and there is a pure breath all over her body, after doing all this, she glanced at herself in the mirror again, and Melissa showed a satisfied smile.

After closing the windows in the house, feeding the beloved little turtle with turtle food, and watering a few pots of small flowers on the balcony, Melissa picked up her bag and headed downstairs.

After getting off the bus, Melissa was in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to eat breakfast and boarded a long-distance bus to Liuzhen.

At this time, Zhao Ming and Sun Jing met with Li Bin and others in the hotel, preparing to go to nearby towns or villages, and wanted to walk around the villages near the city, and try their luck by the way, picking up a leak or something.

In the breakfast shop, Li Bin and Lin Hao, while eating breakfast, anxiously waited for the arrival of Zhao Ming and Sun Jing, and sure enough, the hard work paid off, and ten minutes later, Zhao Ming and Sun Jing appeared in the breakfast shop.

"Brother Zhao, Lin Hao and I have been waiting for you and your sister-in-law for a long time, if you don't come again, we will definitely think that we have been released pigeons!" Li Bin said as he smiled at Lin Hao.

Li Bin's father is engaged in the real estate business in the provincial capital, and he is a veritable rich second generation, not to mention Lin Hao, his father is the secretary of the provincial party committee, the second generation of standard officials, if it were not for such an identity, he would not be idle, and accompany Zhao Ming and Sun Jing to the surrounding towns or villages to hang out.

"How could it be! It was already said yesterday, unless you and Lin Hao didn't want to go. Zhao Ming said with a smile, and Sun Jing also sat there, showing a faint smile.

The four of them had breakfast in the breakfast shop, Li Bin drove the car, driving aimlessly all the way, although it was late autumn, but the leaves of the trees on both sides of the road were still dark green, which made people have to admire the tenacity of its vitality.

"There are more towns and villages nearby, but they are relatively remote from the provincial capital, and now most of the villages except for some left-behind elderly people and children, most of the young people go to the city to work and make money, or settle ......in the city," Li Bin said with a smile, with a hint of imperceptible loneliness in his eyes.

Hearing Li Bin say this, Zhao Ming's heart couldn't help but be full of curiosity about the rich second generation like Li Bin, all along, in Zhao Ming's impression, his positioning of Li Bin was the kind of idle rich second generation who was born with a wealthy family, but he didn't expect him to know a lot.

"Are you familiar with the nearby villages, I hope you can buy some rare things in the nearby towns and villages this time......" Zhao Ming looked out the window and said indifferently.

"I'm not particularly familiar with this area, I spent a lot of time in my hometown when I was a child, and I was raised by my grandparents, so I can be considered empathetic......," Li Bin said with a smile.

After driving for more than two hours, the car got off the highway, followed by bumps along the way, and finally arrived at Liuzhen, which is far away from the provincial capital and relatively remote.

In the Eight Treasures Zhai in Dongcheng before, Zhao Ming had heard that in addition to the remoteness of Liuzhen, there are many elderly people and left-behind children, and for a while it seems that there are TV and major news reports on this matter, hoping to attract the attention of the society, care for the elderly and pay attention to the education of left-behind children.

With the mood of distraction and picking up leaks, Zhao Ming, Sun Jing and Lin Hao, under the leadership of Li Bin, finally arrived at Liuzhen, a remote area that is still famous.

Liuzhen and people feel a little desolate, although it is a small town, but the town is not as lively as imagined, there are occasional uncles and aunts selling vegetables or water on the roadside, standing under the sun against the autumn wind, just to make a few hard money.

And those small supermarkets or street shops are also sparse, and a few people sit in a circle outside the store, sitting there playing poker, thinking that it must be too idle and have no business. That's why I can live with such peace of mind and get by.

A few people got out of the car and bought a few bottles of water in a small supermarket on the side of the road, the owner was a middle-aged woman with curly hair, but she was dressed up with extra bells and whistles, and she looked particularly eye-catching.

"Auntie, this is Liuzhen, right? Do you know where there are antiques in the villages around here?" Li Bin asked with a smile as he looked at the proprietress of the small supermarket.

As soon as she heard Li Bin talk about antiques, the female shopkeeper's eyes instantly filled with doubt, and then she asked, "Who are you?

Seeing the female shopkeeper so alert, Zhao Ming stepped forward and said with a smile: "That's the case, we just went to this neighborhood casually, wanting to buy some rare things, and had no other meaning......

Hearing Zhao Ming say this, the female shopkeeper let down her guard, and said in a cold tone: "Nanping Village, which is more than ten miles away from Liuzhen, should have what you want, you can try your luck there......" After the female shopkeeper finished speaking, she collected the money, ignored Zhao Ming and the others, and played with her mobile phone by herself.

With such information, it is indeed great news for Zhao Ming, as soon as the four of them got into the car, Li Bin followed a somewhat dilapidated sign on the side of the road and drove in the direction of Nanping Village.

The car walked on the potholed dirt road, it seems that this village is really remote enough, now the village is connected to the road, even the place just passed is mostly a cement road, but this Nanping Village is extraordinarily different, it is still a dirt road.

If you don't close the window, you will be disgraced, and if it rains again, you are afraid that the dirt road will become extremely muddy. At this time, the small ditch on the dirt road that has been run over by vehicles must have been left behind when vehicles passed by in the rain.

A few big men are fine, but Sun Jing, sitting in the car, enduring the bumps along the way, she feels that the breakfast she ate in the morning is turning over in her stomach at this time, if she continues like this, she is really afraid that she will not be able to help but vomit.

After about twenty minutes, the car finally stopped in the legendary Nanping Village, looking at the village in front of him, Zhao Ming only felt indescribably depressed and desolate.

As reported on TV before, most of the villages are full of left-behind children and the elderly, probably because of the weekend, a large open space in the village, a few older children with a few children flying kites there, the picture in front of them makes people feel very loving.

Seeing a stranger come forward, the older children stopped and looked at them with curiosity, Zhao Ming knew that the children living here should be extremely curious when they see strangers on weekdays, but this does not mean that they are defenseless.

Walking slowly in the village, they saw the door of a house wide open, Zhao Ming walked to the door, and was about to call someone, when a big yellow dog suddenly burst out, accompanied by the barking of dogs, Zhao Ming stood in place and did not dare to move, because he knew that most of the dogs in the countryside bite people, unlike the dogs in the city running outside every day, and they have long lost their guard against strangers.

When the owner of this family heard the barking of the dog, he hurriedly walked out of the house, and when he walked through the yard, he saw Zhao Ming standing at the door.

"Who are you looking for, young man?" asked a gray-haired old woman with a smile. After the old grandmother finished speaking, she began to reprimand the big yellow dog she was looking at, obviously it was just a brute, but after hearing the old grandmother's reprimand, it seemed to understand, the big yellow dog wagged its tail around the old grandmother, circled a few times, and left.

"Grandma, are there some old objects in this village?" Zhao Ming asked tentatively, obviously afraid of causing a misunderstanding among the old grandmother.

"You're talking about antiques, there have been more people buying these things for collection over the years, and I often see them on TV on weekdays, I heard that they are cheap when they are bought, and they can be worth a lot of money if they are put away for a few years or more than ten years!"

"It's not all, it depends on whether the things you buy have a certain collection value, if you have it, it will increase in value later, if not, it will only be a favorite collectible, I don't know if there are any people in this village who have old objects?" Zhao Ming asked straight to the point.

The old grandmother is also a *, seeing that Zhao Ming looks like a gentleman and talks extraordinary, she thought for a while, then said with a smile: "This thing is except for Granny Wang's house in the west of the village, and there are the most Aunt Li's houses in this village......"

The west end of this village is easy to find, but the grandmother said that Aunt Li's house is indeed a little difficult to find, and there are dozens of families in this village, although it is not concentrated in a sparse manner, but it is probably not so easy to find Aunt Li in these dozens of households.

Zhao Ming hesitated for a moment, and the old grandmother smiled and said, "I also have some things here, I don't know if they are antiques?"

Hearing the old grandmother say this, Zhao Ming quickly nodded obediently, and in the blink of an eye, in two or three minutes, the old grandmother walked out of the hall, holding a dark cotton scarf in her hand, and opened it carefully, and the contents were instantly visible.

A silver hairpin, a pair of silver bracelets, and a silver ring, except that the silver hairpin is a little older, as for the pair of bracelets and rings, it is no more common, Zhao Ming guessed that this thing must be the grandmother's dowry, otherwise it would not be so cherished.

"These are all things from my youth, and I will wait a hundred years to bring them to the coffin! If this is a rare treasure, then I will leave it to my granddaughter! I may be of some use to her in the future!" said the old lady with a smirk.

Zhao Ming stood here, looking at the old lady in front of him, from her words, Zhao Ming could clearly feel the old man's love for his granddaughter.

"Grandma, you better keep these things...... I'll look elsewhere. After Zhao Ming finished speaking, he glanced at the old lady and got into Li Bin's car on the side of the road.

The old lady looked at Zhao Ming's eyes, a little lost, maybe she thought that the silver jewelry in her scarf was not a strange object, so she felt lost.

"Brother Zhao, why did you go for so long?, but what did you gain?" Li Bin glanced at Zhao Ming from the rearview mirror with a smile while driving.

"Such a big courtyard, it seems that the old lady is alone, I feel so pitiful!" Zhao Ming said lightly, after saying this, he turned his head and continued to look at the courtyard just now through the car window, but at this moment the courtyard door has been closed, as if the wooden door has been closed, and the people inside are as lonely as if they are isolated from the world.

After a long time, Zhao Ming said lightly: "I heard the grandmother just now, there are a lot of antiquities in the westernmost part of the village, and the next is Aunt Li's house.
