Chapter 7 The Noseless Pharmacist
Wang Xiaoman didn't plan to accept this unattractive old wooden box last night, but when she walked into the door of the bar, she suddenly remembered that this old wooden box was usually used by Ye Fei to hold money, and turned back and carried the cash box into the bar, she had just gotten off work and was about to go home to rest, and happened to see Ye Fei packing up the car, and immediately took out the cash box and returned it to its original owner, but she didn't expect him to be moved to tears.
Ye Fei took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to take the cash box, and said in a low voice: "I thought this box couldn't be recovered, thank you." He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and spoke with a hint of trill.
Wang Xiaoman's face was slightly red, and he deliberately pouted and said, "You are a lost person, open the box and see if the amount of money in it is right." ”
"Two hundred and twenty-eight pieces and five cents." Ye Fei opened his mouth to report a number, reached out and opened the box, flipped through the thin stack of banknotes inside, frowned and said, "No, there are twenty more yuan." ”
Wang Xiaoman pursed his lips and smiled: "Have you forgotten that I took away a plate of skewers last night?" I put the money in the box. ”
Ye Fei showed a look of sudden realization on his face, and said in a low voice: "No wonder, I will invite you to eat skewers." ”
Wang Xiaoman flashed his eyes, pouted and said, "The skewers are free, I ate that thing and got it on fire, by the way, can you still use that car?" ”
Ye Fei nodded affirmatively and said, "It can be used, my car looks almost good, and it is quite solid to use." ”
Wang Xiaoman smiled and said, "It's good if you can use it, if you really want to thank me, be a driver and send me to Qinggu Street." ”
Ye Fei thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Qinggu Street is the old street with a lot of old goods, right?" I've been there a few times, and the whole street is full of stalls selling old handicrafts, and it's quite lively. ”
Wang Xiaoman nodded and said, "Well, I will live in Qinggu Street, anyway, it's still early, you can send me home on a tricycle." ”
Ye Fei turned his head and glanced at the tricycle, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, and said in a low voice: "It's no problem to send you home, but I have a little problem with the saddle, you can only sit in the front, don't mind?" ”
Wang Xiaoman is a straightforward person, hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What's there to mind about this, you are holding the handlebar with both hands, is it possible that there can be a third hand to do something bad?" ”
Ye Fei's face was embarrassed for a while, and he quickly nodded and said, "Okay, then get in the car, and I'll send you to Qinggu Street." He had a lot of things in his heart, but in order to thank Wang Xiaoman for helping him keep the money box, he should give her a trip.
Wang Xiaoman suddenly wanted to take a tricycle, but after sitting on it, she felt a little regretful in her heart, she was almost held in Ye Fei's arms, and a strong manly smell penetrated her nostrils, making her feel her heart beating faster, and the temperature on her face quietly rose.
Ye Fei had used a tricycle to drive his little sister Tang Qian more than once before, and he had let her sit in the empty car body, but today the car body was loaded with many objects, so Wang Xiaoman could only sit in front of him, and the two chatted in a low voice from time to time along the way, which looked like a young boy and girl in love.
Boom! The wheel seemed to have hit something and shook violently, Wang Xiaoman on the seat leaned forward, and when he sat down again, he felt that there was a stick-like thing under the groove and panicked, she raised her waist and sat down hard, grinding a few times, and suddenly heard Ye Fei behind him snort, and the car stopped with a snort.
Wang Xiaoman turned her head in surprise, and saw that Ye Fei's face was pale, her two eyes were round, and there were several bright red blood streaks in the whites of her eyes, her heart jumped, and she asked a little nervously, "What?" Didn't you just crash the car? ”
Ye Fei shook his head with a bitter face, took a breath and said, "You are sitting on my thing, it hurts." ”
Wang Xiaoman suddenly felt that the stick he was sitting on moved, as if it was some kind of living thing, and then looked at Ye Fei with a bitter face, and suddenly thought of what 'what' it was, and hurriedly jumped off the car sideways, blushing as if he was about to drip blood.
Ye Fei is now eager to find a hole to drill into, he is born with strong capital, just now the wheel rolled into a stone and shook violently, forcing him forward for a distance, he didn't expect that 'what' would be sat upright by Wang Xiaoman, so painful that he almost didn't cry.
Wang Xiaoman was blushed, biting his lip and whispering: "My house is not far from here, I'd better walk over by myself, thank you!" As soon as he finished speaking, the man had already bowed his head and ran forward, looking like a frightened rabbit.
Ye Fei got out of the car with a wry smile and pushed the car slowly, he knew that there was a shortcut to go home through the Qinggu Street in front of him, most of the antique shops on both sides of this street imitated the style of Qing Dynasty houses, among which there was an authentic Qing Dynasty wooden archway, which had been vigorously repaired and maintained to become the landmark building of the whole street, the rent of regular shops was more expensive, and the most distinctive thing here was the stalls on both sides of the street and the smiling faces of the vendors.
Qinggu Street is a famous antique distribution center in the province, and it is also the treasure hunting place where antique lovers come most often, porcelain, jade, bronze, wood carving, calligraphy and painting, ancient books, miscellaneous pieces, a dazzling array of old objects make people dizzy, and various sizes of stalls also make the originally spacious street narrow and difficult.
It's just past eight o'clock now, there are not many people on Qinggu Street, the vendors have set up stalls early to welcome customers, Ye Fei pushes the cart and walks slowly on the street, the vendors who practice the stalls are all the masters with eyes, look at his dress and know that he is a passerby, and no one accompanies the smiling face, and there are a few with horizontal eyebrows.
Syllable! There was a muffled sound behind him, as if the sound of something falling to the ground, Ye Fei subconsciously turned his head to take a look, and saw a brown and gray wood carving doll with a length of a foot next to the rear wheel of the car, the doll was facing down, and he could clearly see the potholes on the back, and there were many traces of rat bites, when he shifted his gaze from the wood carving to the stall owner's face, his heart sank.
The stall owner was a lean old man in a green cloth gown, with a two-inch goatee on his chin, and he was looking at Ye Fei opposite with a pair of bean drum eyes, with a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Ye Fei let go of the handlebars, walked to the wood carving with his head down, bent down and reached out to pick up the wood carving, but found that there was a small curved wooden block on the ground, the expression on his face stiffened, and he immediately flipped the wood carving in his hand to take a look, and his heart was secretly bitter.
This is a wood-carved Medicine Buddha, because of the age, the outline of the facial features has been blurred, and a small piece is missing from the part that should have been the nose, becoming a noseless Buddha, which looks very funny, but Ye Fei can't laugh, he knows that the small wooden block on the ground is the nose of the Buddha.
"Young man, you don't eat oil when you walk, this boxwood medicine Buddha is scrapped, what do you say?" The lean old man pinched his goatee and said lightly, raised his feet and walked around the stall unhurriedly.
