Chapter 13: Trouble
[Rush to the list, ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for clicks, woo woo woo, support everyone! ] 】
Tang Bai smiled when he heard this: "I don't plan to establish any relationship with her, after this time, it may be difficult for me and her to see each other again." You don't have to worry about me about this. ”
"Yes." Qi Lianfeng nodded approvingly when he heard this, and he didn't think that Tang Bai would have any chance of meeting Ding Churou in the future. Then the two of them changed the subject and started talking.
More than an hour passed, and Qi Lianfeng and Tang Bai were already standing outside an antique shop with inconspicuous appearance. The plaque above the antique shop hangs three simple and powerful characters of Gu Cangzhai.
Gu Cangzhai's store is not big, the owner is a middle-aged man with a slightly fat physique and a kind face, surnamed Gu, and this store is named after him. Since the location of the store is not in a prime location, and the time month is not a Golden Week, the customer flow in the store is a little pitiful.
Seeing Tang Bai and Qi Lianfeng walking in, the owner of the store immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Qi Shao and Mr. Tang haven't been here for a while? Don't know what to buy this time? Gu Cang greeted him with a smile.
"This time I didn't want to buy anything, I accompanied my brother to come and see. Just greet him. Qi Lianfeng waved his hand, under the influence of Tang Bai, although Qi Lianfeng also likes to collect some gadgets from time to time, but he just regards this kind of collection as a hobby, he is definitely not fanatical, and he will never choose anything valuable and outrageous. Even if the other party said that the sky was falling, Qi Lianfeng could restrain himself.
Gu Cang's face did not change, and he led the two people in.
"Boss Gu, do you remember the last time I bought those things from you?" Sitting on the chair, Tang Bai didn't pay attention to the steaming tea in his hand, but looked at Gu Cang, who was sitting opposite him, and asked with a smile.
Gu Cang's face flashed with a look of memory, and he quickly said, "It's a pocket watch and a few copper coins, right?" What's wrong? ”
"Boss Gu's memory is really good." Tang Bai stretched out a thumbs up to Gu Cang.
"Where, where. Mr. Tang and Qi Shao are my regular customers here, so they are naturally more impressed. Gu Cang hurriedly smiled and waved his hand. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Qi Lianfeng had bought some items of great value here, and Qi Lianfeng was mostly inseparable from Tang Bai, Gu Cang might not be able to remember the things Tang Bai bought. Tang Bai obviously understood this.
"Hehe, I love those things. This time, I just want to ask Boss Gu, do you still have those copper coins here, or similar to copper coins? Tang Bai asked unhurriedly.
Although Tang Bai was very concerned and nervous about Gu Cang's reply in his heart, he also knew that in this case, the best thing to do was to hide his emotions as much as possible and keep himself calm. After a lot of training against the mirror, as well as the adventures of several worlds, in some ordinary occasions, Tang Bai has become more and more familiar with controlling his emotions.
"Something like that?" Gu Cang repeated a sentence, and after saying to Tang Bai to wait a while, he stood up and waved his hand to greet a guy in the shop, and after a few words in the guy's ear, he walked back and sat down.
Soon the guy came over with a box and handed it to Gu Cang. Gu Cang pushed the wooden box in front of Tang Bai's eyes. Tang Bai stretched out his hand to open it, only to see that the wooden box was filled with all kinds of coins. After a cursory glance, Tang Bai did not find a currency similar to the copper coin style last time. This couldn't help but make Tang Bai feel a little disappointed in his heart.
Tang Bai did not give up and used the discernment ability given to him by the mirror spirit, took the coins in the box one by one in the palm of his hand, and pretended to observe to discriminate. What made him feel helpless again was that the coins in his hand did not have the magic that copper coins possessed.
Tang Bai shook his head and put the coin in his hand back into the wooden box. Gu Cang, who saw his move, hurriedly smiled: "Why, none of these Mr. Tang likes it?" Some of them are worth collecting. Saying that, Gu Cang picked out more than a dozen coins from the box and placed them in front of Tang Bai's eyes one by one.
Tang Bai shook his head again. The value and collection significance of coins, even ancient craftsmanship or modern craftsmanship, Tang Bai didn't care in his heart, he was not a real collector. In the past, collecting could be called a hobby, but now there are no magical objects, no matter how valuable they are, they can no longer arouse his interest.
"Boss Gu still remembers, where did you get those copper coins from last time?" Tang Bai asked a little unwillingly. Immediately after that, he saw Gu Cang's embarrassed frown, and Tang Bai hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't want to spy on Boss Gu's purchase channels and secrets, I just want to know the origin of those copper coins." If it is inconvenient for Boss Gu to say, as long as I can collect the same fineness as the copper coin last time, I will collect as much as I want, and it doesn't matter if the price is a little more expensive. Even if the amount is smaller, I will compensate Boss Gu afterwards, and I will never let you lose anything. ”
In the past, Tang Bai may not have the confidence to make this promise, but now when he has a sum of nearly 10 million or more, it is so natural to make this promise.
"Hehe, it's not that I don't help Mr. Tang, it's that I don't remember who received those things from anyone. To be sure, I've never bought these items from my regular incoming channels. Gu Cang smiled bitterly and said frankly.
Tang Bai was also helpless for a while when he heard this. But he soon perked up, and before coming here, he was prepared for disappointment. The current situation is just confirming my own speculation. But according to my own speculation, there is other hope.
"Then I won't be embarrassed by the boss, I'll take a look at the antiques in the store first." Tang Bai cleaned up his mood and said with a smile. Hearing this, Gu Cang immediately stood up knowingly and made a gesture of please.
Qi Lianfeng, who had remained silent from beginning to end, looked at Tang Bai with a somewhat strange gaze. Although Tang Bai behaved as usual, just as Tang Bai knew him, he also knew Tang Bai very well. Looking at Tang Bai who was talking to Gu Cang, he always felt that today's Tang Bai seemed to be very different from the previous Tang Bai.
That's a fundamental change in temperament after encountering something big! Something like a sublimation!
Without waiting for Qi Lianfeng to think about it, the mobile phone in his arms rang. Qi Lianfeng stood up, made a gesture to Tang Bai, and then walked to the side and picked up the phone. Tang Bai browsed the antiques on the shelves one by one under Gu Cang's guidance, holding it in his hand from time to time and seemingly observing it carefully.
It didn't take long for Qi Lianfeng, who hung up the phone, to come over, his face was very strange. Seeing his face, Tang Bai looked at him puzzled, and the words that came out of Qi Lianfeng's mouth the next moment, which made Tang Bai also stunned, and the second sentence made Tang Bai's uneasiness expand again.
"Ding Churou who called."
The second sentence is: "She's asking me all about you." ”
