The two young men also looked like they were shopping in the old streets, but they were light and agile and their eyes were sharp. Tang Yi and Lin Huanting walked in front, leisurely strolling around the old street, and they didn't look back at all, let alone notice their state.

"Look, this store has put things out!" Walking to the door of a thrift store, Lin Huanting pointed to a simple bed in front of the store.

On the simple bed, there are some old clocks, old pens, old wooden boxes, old copper locks and something, and a few old jade cigarette holders. A thin old man sat in a rocking chair at the door, gurgling and smoking a hookah.

"The old man is so interested." Tang Yi smiled while looking through the things on the simple bed.

"Out-of-towners? Don't go to buy jadeite, go to the old street to find antiques? It's kind of interesting. The old man also smiled, "Look at it slowly, it's not very valuable, I'm optimistic about giving you a discount." ”

Tang Yi pulled it, it was really worthless, and he thought that this old man was also straightforward. However, just when he was pulling, Tang Yi suddenly found that on this simple bed, under the old things, a white mat was a bit special.

There are blue silk edging on the four sides of the mat, but the years are not short, and there are many damaged places in the silk cloth.

Tang Yi took away a few old things and took a closer look, this mat is made of thin slices, the tentacles are slippery, and under a closer look, there are patterns on the slices.

This simple bed is not wide, only about 80 centimeters, but the width of this mat must be more than 1.2 meters, and the ends hang down. The reason why Tang Yi didn't pay attention to this mat at first was mainly because he thought it was an ordinary white plastic mat, but now he was surprised when he saw the patterns on this thin piece.

Because this piece is made of ivory!

Everyone knows ivory, not to mention, it is still brittle. The old tooth has been playing for a long time, and there is no one who does not laugh, and the so-called laughter refers to cracks. It is possible to make a soft mat out of hard and brittle ivory, which ordinary people would never have imagined.

Of course, ivory is not allowed to be bought and sold now, and the only thing that can be sold openly and legally on the market is the mammoth tusks left over from ancient times, mined from glaciers or underground. This type of mammoth tooth is more brittle and more prone to cracking.

However, the old ivory products, which have been passed down in an orderly manner, are actually somewhat similar to mammoth fangs, and do not involve the problem of killing.

"Old man, do you sell everything on this simple bed?" Tang Yi turned a little corner when he asked.

"Sell, don't sell it, I'll put it out?" The old man was a little strange.

"The mat under here, Bai Shengsheng is very good-looking, how much does it cost?" Tang Yi then asked.

"Oh, so you've got a crush on this mat. This is left by the ancestors, I don't know how many generations, it has been made on the bed, but there is a problem with the size of this mat, the big bed is too small, and the small bed is too big. The old man smiled, "Now it's two or three hundred to buy a better bamboo mat, this is an old thing, you can take it for five hundred!" ”

Tang Yi thought to himself, of course the size is wrong, this size was prepared for the couch in ancient times, how can the current bed fit?

"I have a big sofa that I want to put on it, but it's not cheap!"

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, I think the wood chips for weaving this mat are quite special, and they must be more expensive than bamboo!" The old man said unhurriedly.

At this time, Lin Huanting couldn't help but be curious, and leaned close to Tang Yi's ear and asked, "What kind of wood chips is this?" ”

Tang Yi also whispered to Lin Huanting: "Ivory." ”

"Huh?" Lin Huanting was amazed, "Ivory can be made into mats?" Moreover, he said that it was handed down from his ancestors, how could he not know? ”

"I'll talk about it later." Tang Yi then raised his voice and said to the old man, "Okay, who made me like it, I bought it!" ”

Lao put down the hookah and got up from the rocking chair, "You said you wouldn't buy anything else, I had to clean up this mat." ”

"I'll help you!" Tang Yi smiled and helped the old man clean up, and after taking off the mat, he helped the old man put his things on the simple bed.

This ivory mat can be rolled up, and the old man gave a big plastic bag, and Tang Yi just carried it.

"Afterlife." Before parting, the old man suddenly approached Tang Yi and said, "There are two people in the back, if you don't know each other, but I've been with you for a long time!" ”

Tang Yi was taken aback, thinking, how could anyone follow in Jiezhou? Thief? It should have been improvised, and it wouldn't have lasted so long. Robbery? It should be squatting in a secluded place with few people, and will not be watched on the old street.

"Thank you, old man!" Tang Yi took out another two hundred yuan from his pocket and slapped it into the old man's hand.

"What are you doing here?" The old man was stunned.

"Don't you rely on this simple bed for your business? I bought the mat, count it mine, you buy another mat! Tang Yi smiled.

"Hou Shengzi is very particular, okay, you are so particular, I will help you too, you just have to take yours!" The old man smiled heartily and put the money away.

Tang Yi carried the mat in one hand and Lin Huanting in the other, and quickly walked to a jade shop in front of him with a relatively large face and a large flow of people.

The shop is located on the corner of the intersection of Lao Cai and another street, with more than one door.

The two young men who followed Tang Yi saw it and immediately quickened their pace. But when he walked in front of the old man's simple bed, the old man suddenly shouted, "You two stand for me!" ”

The two young men were stunned. "Are you two trying to steal from me!" The old man shouted again.

"I'm sick!" The two men glared at the old man, then ignored it and walked towards the jade shop.

But before he could take two steps, he was stopped by several people, "Where did you come from?" Dare to steal uncle's things! ”

It turned out that the old man shouted twice in a row, and the nearby shops were all acquaintances from the neighborhood, and a few sturdy people then surrounded him.

In desperation, a young man had to explain: "We didn't touch the simple bed in front of his store, what did we steal?" ”

At this time, the old man stepped forward and said unhurriedly: "You said no, no, no?" Now there are two ways, one is to call the police, and the other is to search the body! ”

"Yes, yes." The people who surrounded them shouted in unison, and more and more people gathered around.

At this time, Tang Yi and Lin Huanting had already come out of the other door of the jade shop and got into a taxi.

The two young men couldn't get out for a while, thinking that a body search was faster than calling the police, so they had to agree to be searched. The old man said: "No, we will search your body, it is illegal, and we still have to call the police!" ”

The two young men were almost hairy, but they were tightly surrounded, and they had to agree with the old man's statement, what do they want!

The old man was just about to call the police, and suddenly patted his head, "Oh, I'll see if there is less or something!" ”

Tossed and turned, and by the time the old man said that there was nothing missing, and apologized in turn, it had already passed more than ten or twenty minutes.

The two young men didn't care about the old man, separated the crowd, and chased after him, but where could they still see Tang Yi's shadow?
