The bottomless black, the white without impurities, these eyes, or fierce, or greedy, she can deal with, partial, desireless, a sea of silent eyes, from which not even the slightest affection can be excavated.

After looking at each other for a moment, Yunxi lowered his eyes and took another sip of tea from the white porcelain cup in his hand.

"Are you the only daughter of the Leng family?" The old man suddenly opened his mouth.

She made a move, her father Leng Guoyi was indeed the third and last one in the Leng family's generation. This man knew her father?

"I am. Who are you? She was slightly curious.

"You bought this jade inkstone to congratulate the old man?" The other party didn't give her an answer, a pair of deep eyes looked at the ancient tree outside the window for a moment, as if something was spreading from the body, but in an instant, it was restored to its original state.

Yunxi suspected that he was dazzled, but just now this person was illusory and almost couldn't breathe, and it was inevitable that there was a little more strange in his heart, but his mind was still very clear, and he replied honestly: "It's a gift for grandfather."

The old man seemed to be satisfied with the answer, nodded slightly, and then pointed to a plaque that was half covered by a huge hiding shelf, and said with a smile: "The rules of this store are that it is not open on Sundays to do business. ”

Open a store not to do business? So why is it still open today?

Yunxi, Grantham, including the little girl, the three of them had never heard of such a rule, and when they looked up at the plaque, they saw four big characters full of ancient meaning hanging above their heads: "Enoch barter." ”

"What does the old gentleman mean is that he doesn't sell things on Sundays, but he can exchange a promise for a jade?" Yunxi looked at the old man who didn't look like a joke at all with some hesitation, and his eyes slowly narrowed, swinging a treacherous arc.

"Not bad." He tapped the table with his fingertips, and the sound of "click", "click", "click" and "click" echoed in this room, and then pointed to the brocade box where the jade inkstone was placed and said: "I will use this inkstone in exchange for a promise to you." ”

At this moment, even Grantham, who grew up in the United States, felt that this mention was too ridiculous. He has seen too many miraculous things, but a promise can be exchanged for such a priceless treasure? Isn't this old man crazy?

Even Shui Mulian couldn't help but cover her mouth, pulled her brother's fingers, and whispered, "This grandpa is so stupid." ”

What is a promise worth? Her mom and dad promised to take her to the zoo, and when she turned around, she could forget about it, but she couldn't do it, and she could drag it from one week to next, and then to the next week.

In short, promises or something are the least valuable.

But at this moment, Yunxi smiled. She pushed away the teacup, slowly stood up, walked to the historic plaque, and smiled lowly. The laughter was tactful and beautiful, but there was clearly no smile at all. A pair of eyes are cold and without a hint of affection, which makes people can't figure out what she is thinking.

The old man didn't seem to expect her to react like this, and was a little surprised for a while.

"Enoch barter? Do you think I'm a kid who hasn't grown up, so easy to fool? She wiped the snow-white walls, the corners of her mouth were smiling, the corners of her eyes were lowered, and the smell of evil filled every corner under the sun, and in the blink of an eye, it was very different from the appearance when she entered the door.

"If you are afraid of fraud, we can prove it." The Buddha had already been used to suspicion, and the old man was not surprised by her appearance at all, but was obviously a little more cautious.

"No, you misheard me. I'm not suspicious of Enoch's barter, I just think you lion speak. Her squinted eyes slowly curled, smiling like the most terrifying animal of the night, capable of tearing its prey to shreds in a moment.

Shui Mulian, who was standing on the side, subconsciously turned around and fell into Grantham's arms, and her sheep-like voice trembled over and over again: "Brother, I'm afraid, I'm afraid." ”

Grantham patted her on the back gently, and turned her head to see that the two people facing each other were like two statues, with a strange aura, and they couldn't help but feel a little heartbeat.

"We opened the skylight and said something. Sir, if you want anything from me, you might as well tell me directly. She pointed to the plaque that was almost half entangled in spider silk and smiled: "This kind of thing that hasn't been scooped out for many years, it's better not to scoop it out as an excuse in the future." ”

This was already a bit excessive, but the old man's reaction was still very calm.

"The plaque has been hanging here, and I don't have to lie to you. I'm just looking at who does what business, Miss Leng doesn't need to be so guarded. ”

"So, you think one of my promises is worth more than a cash check?" I'm afraid that the promise of the "cold family" is really enough, right?

She suddenly remembered the two questions of the old man just now, and laughed, to know her origin, this person himself was not a mortal.

gradually saw the signs, the ghost fire in her eyes flashed, the enchanting smile returned to her mouth, and the momentum of the whole person suddenly changed again.

Even after living for so many years, the old man had to exclaim in his heart, this girl who seemed to be less than twenty years old really made him guess, such a character was really immeasurable.

In this case, if you can get her promise, you will have no worries!

With a wide heart, he was even more determined about this transaction: "As long as you can promise that the right to use this land will always belong to me during my lifetime, then this jade inkstone is yours." ”

Grantham was completely confused by now. With such a small shop, it is only a matter of one or two million to buy it, but the price of this piece of jade is sky-high. Which is more important, you can see at a glance that this old man is not doing business and fainting, right?

On the other side, Yunxi stared at the old man's calm eyes, full of thought.

After a while, he sighed lowly, and it was really calculated!

This old street is a place where antique people often come and go, although the area is not very high-end, but there are plans to requisition and renovate it for urban planning. Of course, it is easy to buy this land, but once the government renovates, even if it can be relocated, the original qiē of this store is afraid that there will be nothing.

He asked her if she was from the Leng family, and when he thought about it, he also inquired that her uncle was the person in charge of this project, right?

It's just that such a dilapidated shop, which point is worth this person exchanging for a hard-won "jade inkstone"?

As if seeing her doubts, the old man smiled bitterly, and a touch of sadness flashed in his eyes under the sun, and then he moved his gaze to the ancient tree in the courtyard, and his eyes were full of shallow thoughts: "My wife's ashes are buried here, and I promised her that I will stay here with her for the rest of my life." ”

Grantham and Yunxi were both a little sluggish, no one thought that it would be such a reason......
