Chapter 39: Compassion

The breeze in the early morning blows lightly, and the refreshing breath rushes to the face, making people feel comfortable and sublimated at the spiritual level. Occasionally, a few sparrows linger in the branches, adding vitality to the spring season.

Carrying a plastic bag in his hand, Wang Ke who was still holding breakfast in his hand, rushed towards the antique trading market while eating, yesterday because of saving people, he knew that he would be remembered by many people, so he secretly planned in his heart, in the next few days, he must be low-key and low-key, and strive to let others forget about themselves.

The reason why he came to Changji City in such a hurry was not because he was too famous, but as a result, no one in the antique street was willing to sell him the items on the stalls.

Low-key is the right way, and making a lot of money in a muffled voice is the king.

This is Wang Ke's definition of life in his heart.

Half an hour later, Wang Ke, who returned the clothes to Cheng Renjie, hurriedly walked into his own residence.

Zhao Menfeng, who was sitting at the counter, raised his eyelids, glanced at Wang Ke, and swept his gaze over the plastic bag he was carrying, then stood up slowly and asked, "I heard that I was a hero yesterday?" ”

Wang Ke was stunned, he didn't expect that the matter of saving people yesterday would reach Zhao Menfeng's ears, a smile appeared on his face, Wang Ke nodded and said, "I happened to pass by there." Old Zhao, I have an antique here, can you give it an appraisal, is this a genuine antique? ”

Zhao Menfeng looked at Wang Ke in surprise, watched him take out the bronze Buddha statue from the plastic bag, and then reached out to take it, and asked with a salty face: "Where did this thing come from?" ”

Wang Ke said: "The man who jumped into the river I rescued yesterday had to invite me to his house for lunch, so after I arrived at his house, I ......."

After telling Zhao Menfeng what happened yesterday in 1510, Wang Kecai smiled and said: "I'm really not sure, whether this is a genuine antique or not, so I brought it over to your old man for identification." ”

Zhao Menfeng's eyes looked at the bronze Buddha statue with a hint of sluggishness, and slowly raised his head and landed on Wang Ke's face, and asked blankly: "You bought this thing mainly because you want to give away the wreckage who jumped into the river?" ”

Wang Ke's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Old Zhao, I am not charity, it is my heart, because I think that Brother Li who jumped into the river is worthy of my help, and isn't there still this bronze Buddha statue?" Maybe a good person will be rewarded, and I can earn it back from this item! Risk and profit have always gone hand in hand. Also, Brother Li is not a wreck, everyone makes mistakes, and if there is a mistake, he is a real man, I think he is a person with a good character. ”

Blatantly contradicted Zhao Menfeng, although Wang Ke had a trace of worry in his heart, he was not afraid, because after contact with Zhao Menfeng, he didn't think that Zhao Menfeng was a narrow-minded person, and when he said this, I am afraid that he had another meaning.

As soon as Wang Ke's words fell, an old man with a thin figure and dark skin stumbled into the gate, with a trace of tears in his eyes, and he was still holding something wrapped in a flower cloth in his arms.

"Boss Zhao, you ...... Can you show me how much my object is worth? I'm in a hurry to use the money, my son is still on the operating table, if there is no 140,000, people will not operate, please see, is this thing an antique? Can you buy 140,000? The old man's wrinkled and eager face was full of hope.

Zhao Menfeng didn't reach out to pick up the wooden fish handed over by the old man, but turned his head to look at Wang Ke and said, "You can show him!" This thing...... Hum! ”

Wang Ke frowned slightly, he had a feeling that Zhao Menfeng seemed to be a little abnormal today?

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Ke reached out and took the wooden fish.

The wooden fish is in the shape of a clump fish, with a hollow abdomen, a middle opening of the head, a coiled tail, a head and a shrunken tail, a slope on the back (percussion part), triangular on both sides, an oval bottom, a diameter of about 20 centimeters on the front, and the overall color is dark brown, which is faintly mixed with sauce red. A wooden hammer with an olive-shaped hammer head carved with a coiled dragon pattern, its carving is lifelike, as if it is about to come out.

"The weight is slightly heavy, the color is darker, the carving craftsmanship is exquisite, there is a slight coolness in the hand, the feel is very good, the back of the wooden fish is slightly concave, it is obviously formed after years of beating, this thing is 80% likely to be a real antique." Wang Ke thought secretly in his heart.

"This little brother, do you think this is a genuine antique? My son is still waiting for money for surgery! The old man looked at Wang Ke expectantly, hoping to hear the evaluation he wanted from his mouth.

Retracting his gaze from the wooden fish, Wang Ke looked at Zhao Menfeng, whether it was a genuine antique or not, he was really not sure!

"Don't look at me, it's a little assessment of you. How much is it worth, you estimate it yourself, look at it, it has nothing to do with me, you can buy it if you want to, if you don't want to buy it, I'm not interested. Zhao Menfeng glanced at Wang Ke, and Shi Shiran walked to the chair behind the counter.

Wang Ke's brows furrowed slightly, and suddenly, he had an idea: he couldn't be 100% sure if this was an antique, but he could see if it was a magic weapon through the observation of the ability eye! If this wooden fish is a magic weapon, then it must be an antique, and if it is not a magic weapon, then it is nothing to resign yourself.

Thinking of this, he immediately mobilized his true qi and slowly gathered to his eyes, after the slight pain disappeared, a milky white gas appeared on the wooden fish in front of Wang Ke's eyes, this gas was originally flowing in a special trajectory, but after his ability eyes looked at it, suddenly the white qi above stopped running according to the previous trajectory, as if he had spirituality in an instant, struggling to rush towards his eyes.

It's a magic weapon!

Wang Ke was overjoyed in his heart, and after cutting off his true qi, he raised his head, looked at the old man and said, "Old man, this wooden fish is indeed an antique, and it is not only an antique, but also a magic weapon, as for the price!" I'm not sure, but you just said that your son needs 140,000 yuan for surgery, so I'll give you 140,000, and if you are willing to sell it to me, I'll take you to get the money now, and we'll pay the money with one hand and deliver it with the other." How is it? ”

The old man showed surprise on his face, nodded heavily without hesitation, and said excitedly: "Okay, okay, then let's pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, Xie Lu Xie This little brother, you are my great benefactor!" O great benefactor of my son! On behalf of my son and on behalf of our entire family, I thank you. ”

"Stupid!"

Behind the counter, Zhao Menfeng snorted coldly, and a deep voice came.

Wang Ke was stunned, and a puzzled look appeared in his eyes.

What's going on?

Why would Zhao Lao say that he was stupid? Didn't he recognize it as a magic weapon? Or is it that your price is too high?

Forget it, this old man is in urgent need of money, even if his price is a little higher, he will definitely not lose much, and if he can buy such a magic weapon, he can be regarded as able to pass Zhao Menfeng's assessment, right?

Thinking of this, Wang Ke filtered out what Zhao Menfeng had just said, looked at the old man and said, "Uncle, let's go!" Go to the bank. ”

The old man had a bright smile on his face, and after Zhao Menfeng finished saying those two words, his complexion became strange. The old and dizzy eyes slowly narrowed, and Wang Ke carefully looked at Wang Ke from head to toe several times before suddenly shaking his head and saying: "Forget it, I don't want to sell this wooden fish, I can feel that you are lying to me, if this is a magic weapon, its price must be higher than the price you gave." Brother Xie helped me identify, and I also wanted to go to other stores to have a look and say goodbye. ”

After saying this, he reached out and grabbed the wooden fish from Wang Ke's hand, turned around and walked towards the gate of his own residence.

Wang Ke was stunned by this sudden change.

What's going on?

Didn't the old man say that his son was still on the operating table waiting for surgery? Isn't he in dire need of money? And it's still 140,000, why is it suddenly not sold?

Or did he not plan to sell that artifact at all, but like he did some time ago, he went to other shops to find someone to do a free appraisal for the purpose of appraisal?

A look of shame appeared on Wang Ke's face, and he stared viciously at the back of the old man who walked away quickly.

Zhao Menfeng walked out of the counter with an indifferent face, and even his eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he said without being salty: "What? Seeing that the cooked duck is about to arrive, and suddenly flies away, isn't it a taste in my heart? I said, do you know the business of antiques and magic weapons? The old man came to sell antiques, but you unabashedly told people that it was a magic weapon, tsk, the price of antiques can be compared with magic weapons? Did you water your head yesterday? ”

Wang Ke smiled bitterly in embarrassment: "Old Zhao, I was wrong, the reason why I gave him the price of 140,000 yuan was entirely because the old man said that his son was in a hurry to use the money on the operating table, so I ...... it."

Zhao Menfeng waved his hand to interrupt Wang Ke's words, and sneered: "It's for this reason that you can't even estimate the approximate price, so you give him 140,000?" Stupid, I've never seen such a stupid boy as you. Don't forget what industry you are going to engage in now, it is antiques, it is a magic weapon, if you want to make a fortune in this industry, you must rely on your true skills, pick up the leaks and make a lot of money. ”

"If I were you, if I could be sure that the old guy just brought a magic weapon, then I would not hesitate to tell him that it was just an ordinary antique, or even barely an antique, and the price could be sold for thousands or tens of thousands of yuan. When the old guy was disappointed, he tricked him into selling the magic weapon to me, and then sold it for a large price, making countless times the difference in price. ”

The anger on Zhao Menfeng's face was a little thicker than just now, and he shouted angrily: "You think you are kind? You think you're helping him? The result? What did you see happen to you? When people heard that it was a magic weapon, they turned around and left without hesitation. ”

"Kindness? In the world of antiques and magic weapons, there are countless treacherous merchants who will take advantage of your pathetic kindness and deceive you into not even having your pants left. If that old guy just held a high-imitation magic weapon, you can't be 100% sure that it is a real magic weapon, do you still want to buy it from him at a cost of 140,000 yuan under the trend of your conscience, just like buying that bronze Buddha statue that you can't 100% distinguish and shock? ”

"I ......"

Wang Ke secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, he understood that Zhao Menfeng had said that he had gone to his heart, if it weren't for the ability eye, maybe ...... Maybe out of compassion, he'll buy it too, right?

Zhao Menfeng looked angrily at Wang Ke, who wanted to defend himself, and said in a deep voice again: "The antique world, the magic weapon world, dragons and snakes are mixed, all kinds of people, there are all kinds of people, countless people take advantage of the poor negotiation of the buyer, use all kinds of methods, and even the immortal jump can be used, and the poor kind people like you are deceived very miserably, the man who jumped into the river, isn't he the one who fell?" ”

After Zhao Menfeng said this, he may have found that his tone was too heavy, so he sighed and said seriously:

"This is a deceitful society, and you have to be on the lookout for others all the time, because every time you slap an eye, you will pay a terrible price. I hope you can learn a lesson, be able to listen to me, and if you want to be prosperous in the antique world and the magic world in the future, you have to adapt to the deceitful industry, and you have to put away your poor sympathy. ”
