Stationery Street.

Lin Dong and Ye Tianzi were side by side, talking and laughing.

Ye Tianzi was very curious about whether he would choose to ask him to go to Stationery Street, and couldn't help but be curious: "Lin Dong, what are you going to do when you go to Stationery Street?" ”

Lin Donggan laughed twice and scratched his head, Xuan Lao had recently taught him the skills of drawing talismans with cinnabar, and he needed to use things like yellow table paper, cinnabar, and talisman pens.

But the talisman is too difficult to find, maybe there will be Taoist temples in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is almost difficult to find in Hengzhou City. So, he wanted to try it with a good brush instead.

Good brushes can be found in the stationery street. As for the appointment with Ye Tianzi, he really set the date place on Stationery Street.

He couldn't say anything about buying drawing tools, so he could only say: "I'm going to learn to write calligraphy, and I want to come here to buy a better quality brush." ”

After that, he thought of what the fat man had taught him before, and his heart was hot and he hurriedly said, "Why don't I invite you to dinner in the evening, and go to watch a movie after eating?" ”

After speaking, he stared at Ye Tianzi nervously, waiting for her reply.

Ye Tianzi smiled apologetically and said, "Lin Dong, I'm sorry, I have to go home at night to take care of my father." You also know that his health is not yet well, and I am a little worried! ”

Lin Dong's heart was gloomy for a while, and he still couldn't agree.

Seeing this, Ye Tianzi said, "That's it, how about next time?" When my dad's condition is stable, shall we go to the movies again? ”

Things came and went, Lin Dong's spirits suddenly rose, and he said happily: "No problem, it's still my uncle's illness that matters, and there is a chance to watch a movie." ”

Ye Tianzi smiled sweetly, then remembered his father's illness, and asked, "Lin Dong, when will my father's illness be cured?" ”

Lin Dong thought about it again and again in his heart, and he didn't plan to hide it too much, and said: "Tianzi, let me tell you honestly, the last time your father's illness attacked, someone was urging the Gu worms in his body. Therefore, I'm sure that this Gu practitioner must also be in Hengzhou, and he is watching your father's situation near your house. ”

Lin Dong brought up the old matter again, Ye Tianzi covered his mouth and exclaimed, and said with a frightened face: "Is it really a Gu worm?" Why did this man hurt my dad? ”

Lin Dong nodded and said, "It's indeed a Gu worm, last time I had a fight with this Gu worm, although it hurt its vitality, it escaped back to your father's body." This person's purpose is obvious, that is, to make your father's death unclear, and it is very likely that he has some deep hatred with your father. ”

Ye Tianzi became more and more frightened, and couldn't help but hold Lin Dong's hand tightly, and begged: "Lin Dong, I beg you, you must save my father!" ”

"Don't worry, Tianzi, the last time the Gu worm's vitality was seriously injured, and it won't endanger your father's life in a short period of time. When I think of a way, I'll help your dad solve this trouble once and for all! ”

Looking at Lin Dong's determined appearance, Ye Tianzi's heart gradually settled down, and he nodded: "Lin Dong, I believe in you!" But... However, I hope you can come up with a way sooner, otherwise my heart will always be hanging and I will be anxious all day long! ”

……

……

The two wandered around the stationery street for a long time, and did not find a pure wolf, all of which were sold dog meat on the head of a sheep, but these merchants were able to say a two-five-eight, and the two of them were stunned, just like the real thing.

If it weren't for Xuan Lao, I'm afraid I would have bought a lot of things that I didn't need.

"Lin Dong, there is one here, but the tone is so big!"

Just as he was about to return from disappointment, Ye Tianzi suddenly found that there was another façade at the corner of the street, and hurriedly beckoned Lin Dong to come over. Lin Dong took a closer look and saw that this place was too remote, and the outer wall of the store in front of him protruded, covering the entire storefront.

How would anyone choose such a storefront?

The small shop is not big, this tone is indeed not small, the name of the store - "the world of pen pavilion"!

The couplets on both sides of the façade are even more arrogant, the upper one is 'everything in the world is everything', and the lower one reads 'The four treasures of the sea are all-encompassing'.

Lin Dong looked interesting, chuckled, pulled Ye Tianzi and walked inside, he wanted to see how this small shop dared to have such a big breath.

The store is very small, at most about ten square meters. The walls around it are covered with all kinds of brushes, and at the very back is a transparent glass counter, and all kinds of study utensils are stacked in a mess.

The boss is a middle-aged man with a goatee, and when he saw a guest visiting, he immediately showed a mouth full of yellow teeth, and greeted with a smile: "Two classmates, welcome!" What is needed? It's not that I'm boasting, don't look at my small shop, but it's definitely the most complete store in this stationery street! ”

Sure enough, like the couplet at the door, this boss is also amazingly loud, and there are many stores in the stationery street that are bigger than him, and he dares to be so nonsense.

Seeing Lin Dong's look of disbelief, the boss was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Don't believe it, I'm a century-old brand here!" ”

"Do you have any of these here? Take it out and take a look! If it's shoddy, I'll be gone. After many years of low-level life, Lin Dong has developed a good ability to bargain, and he is familiar with dealing with these merchants.

"Hard wolf?"

The boss glanced at Lin Dong with some surprise, there are only a few young people who buy brushes now. He searched in the store, and finally took down a delicate long brush from the wall and handed it over, introducing: "This is Zhou Huchen's Seiko pen, it is a high-quality product, are you still satisfied?" ”

Lin Dong took the pen, and according to the instructions of Elder Zhihai Xuan, he looked at the pen, which was smooth and light yellow, and then touched it lightly, and felt that the elasticity was not bad.

And the pen

It is full and conical on all sides, like sharp spikes. Xuan Lao was satisfied, and Lin Dong was naturally satisfied.

"Boss, have a glass of warm water, I'll check the pen!"

The boss was very confident in his brush, and quickly ran into the back hall and brought out a glass of warm water.

Lin Dong lifted the pen and hung it in the water, this hand is called "hair pen", so that the glue of the pen is melted in warm water to test the quality of the pen.

The boss became more and more surprised, Lin Dong's actions were quite standard, and he would not understand them without careful research.

Until the pen was scattered, Lin Dong gently pressed the tip of the pen on his finger, and then looked at the arrangement of the pen and the pen was quite neat, and the process was quite good.

"Yes, the four brushes should be 'pointed, round, Qi and healthy'. It is indeed a good wolf. Lin Dong nodded with satisfaction and exclaimed.

The boss saw that he was also a person who was good at this, and he said happily when he saw Hunting: "Little classmate, it's rare, young people are rarely interested in calligraphy now!" ”

Ye Tianzi next to her watched Lin Dong's movements intently, and when she heard the boss's appreciation, she also showed an expression of pride on her face, as if she was praising her.

"I just understand a little, how much does the boss sell, I want one!" Lin Dong smiled slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little proud of the boss's appreciation.

"It's rare to meet a like-minded friend today, and I won't ask you more for one hundred and fifteen, how about it?"

Lin Dong didn't bargain, and directly took out two banknotes and handed them to the boss.

After making a business, the boss seemed very happy, and began to sell other products: "Little classmate, since you bought a pen, do you want this inkstone and ink strip?" I've got the best stuff here. ”

"Just give me a good quality inkstone, but I also need some yellow paper and cinnabar. Cinnabar is best aged, and the longer it is left out, the better. ”

After listening to Lin Dong's request, the boss replied after a little thought: "I have all of these, but the cinnabar ink is all new ink, you can take a look first!" ”

The boss asked Lin Dong and the two to stay for a while, and he walked into the back hall by himself, and quickly took out a few pieces of cinnabar ink and a stack of tied yellow table paper.

Lin Dong took it and saw that the yellow table paper was good, thick enough and tough.

It's just that these cinnabar inks, he stuck them in his hands, asked Xuan Lao, and got a negative answer. Then he frowned and asked, "Boss, this cinnabar can't be done!" Is there any older cinnabar? ”

The boss was surprised for a while, and said: "This is already quite good cinnabar ink, do you want even older cinnabar?" ”

Suddenly, he thought of the identity of his ancestors, his mouth opened in shock, and he pointed at Lin Dong and said, "Little classmate, you can't ...... It won't be a ......! ”

Lin Dong guessed something from the other party's eyes and looks, and immediately coughed dryly, and the boss realized that there were other people in the store, so he decisively shut up.

He is very shrewd, and people who are proficient in that kind of ability are not good at stubble, and if he talks too much, trouble comes from his mouth.

"Little classmate, forgive me, I'm a little Meng Lang!" The boss looked at Lin Dong and felt that he didn't seem to be angry, so he felt a lot more relieved and apologized respectfully.

Lin Dong smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It's okay, if you don't have what I need, just check out, I have to go to other places to see." ”

The boss's eyes suddenly lit up, asked Lin Dong to wait, and ran back to the back hall again.

When he came out, he held a fist-sized red stone in his hand.

Lin Dong and Ye Tianzi were both attracted by this stone, Ye Tianzi's eyes were shining, and she was very fond of this lovely red round strange stone, and before Lin Dong could speak, she said eagerly: "Boss, this stone is so beautiful, are you ready to cut love?" ”

The boss shook his head with a smile and said: "Girl, I'm sorry, this is a piece of cinnabar left by my ancestors, if I meet someone who knows the goods, I will transfer it, you let this young man see it......"

Ye Tianzi pursed her mouth, she was very dissatisfied with the fact that the boss still had to pick people to sell things, so she had to take a nostalgic look.

"Boy, this thing must be taken, a hundred years of cinnabar and the size is so big, it is enough for you to use until the foundation building period!" Xuan Lao shouted excitedly rarely.

A hundred years of cinnabar?

Lin Dong was moved, and secretly excited, he really stepped on the iron shoes and found nowhere to go, so it didn't take any effort to get there.

At that moment, he said with determination: "Your goods are indeed complete, I didn't expect the boss to have such a good thing, I want this, you can make a price!" ”

The boss had a guess about Lin Dong's identity, and he didn't dare to ask for a price, so he groaned and said: "This cinnabar was left by my grandfather, he once said that this cinnabar is hard to find in the hands of the right person, and if it is placed in the hands of the wrong person, it is just an ornament." It's been at home for more than ten years, and I finally met you, little brother, and you look at it appropriately! ”

Lin Dong frowned and thought hard, how to give this price, he didn't know how to say it in his heart, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

The boss saw his embarrassment at a glance, and smiled happily: "This classmate, let's do it, it's been stored for so long, how about you give 10,000 yuan as a storage fee?" ”

The importance of the hundred-year-old cinnabar to Lin Dong is self-evident, and he didn't bargain too much, paid happily, and took the cinnabar into his pocket.

After buying all the things, Lin Dong seemed very satisfied, and the two of them wandered around the stationery street for a while.

Ye Tianzi had enough of playing with cinnabar, so he returned the cinnabar to Lin Dong, and asked curiously: "Lin Dong, why are you buying these messy things?" It's yellow paper and cinnabar, I don't think you're practicing calligraphy, but more like those Maoshan Taoists on TV learning ghost drawing, right? ”
