20, what an abominable curiosity
"Ahem, okay, let's not get too far."
Cheng Xiaohao clenched his fists in front of his mouth, faked a few coughs, and re-introduced the topic to the topic just now.
He coughed a few more times, but this time it was really a little itchy in his throat: "Come, let me continue to test you." β
As he spoke, he walked over to an inconspicuous bamboo basket in the corner and lifted the old cloth that covered it.
Suddenly, a burst of dust rose in the corner, Cheng Xiaohong held her breath, and took out a roll of white paper that was not sealed, but randomly bundled.
In fact, as early as when he was chatting with children, he had been searching for what he wanted out of the corner of his eye.
Those things that are neatly arranged on the shelves are certainly worth a lot of money, and the money on me is definitely not enough anyway. And the bamboo basket with a lot of dust in this corner is hastily covered with a shabby old cloth, and it is estimated that it is something that cannot be sold. If it is really valuable, it will not be hastily piled in such an inconspicuous place.
It just so happens that these old goods can be received by yourself, and while saving money, you can also get some old paper, and the old paper is used to paint, especially for painting that kind of big scene, which is more suitable.
Cheng Xiaohao looked down at the child and smiled: "Do you remember those valuable books and picture scrolls, but do you remember the price of this blank paper?" β
The child was stunned, frowned slightly, and said to Cheng Xiaohao to wait a while, and then entered the back room.
Just leave yourself here alone? Should he be naΓ―ve or generous? Isn't this kid afraid that he will steal something inconspicuous and inconspicuous, and then stuff it into his arms and be unconscious?
However, it is clear that he is not that kind of person, and this kid is the right bet.
But had there been any theft conflicts here before him?
Out of professional quality, Xiao Hao expressed great curiosity and decided to wait for the child to come back and inquire about it.
After waiting for a while, I didn't see the child come out, cough cough, okay, let's not stay away. β

Out of professional quality, Xiao Hao expressed great curiosity and decided to wait for the child to come back and inquire about it.
After waiting for a while, he didn't see the child come out, Cheng Xiaohao shouted twice behind the door curtain, but he didn't hear a response.
Isn't it going to be anything else?
Cheng Xiaohao lifted the curtain, and behind the curtain was a small house, full of pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and books and scrolls.
It turns out that there is also a back door.
He opened the back door, and saw a small courtyard many times larger than the room in front of him.
It's really a hole.
But in this case, wouldn't the few shops next door to this store have no yards?
It's funny.
"Little shopkeeper, are you there?"
Originally, he could have directly found someone with money from one room to another, but Cheng Xiaohao had just stepped down the steps and hurriedly retracted his feet, he felt that he had to restrain his curiosity and impulsiveness, and he should not be so rude.
The door of the second room on the left made a sound, and Cheng Xiaohao followed the sound to see that it was indeed Fang Cai's child. But he had a basin in his hand, and the basin was covered with a large black cloth, as if there was something unsightly in it.
This made Cheng Xiaohao extremely curious.
The child, on the other hand, said angrily: "You person, why did you wantonly enter other people's backyards without the invitation of your master!" β
Cheng Xiaohao apologized: "My fault, my fault." It's just that I shouted a few times in front and didn't hear your response, and I thought your house was a thief or something. β
The child frowned and snorted coldly: "Lin'an has always been peaceful, not to mention burglars, even the thieves on the road, the yamen doesn't know how long it has been since I caught one." So, that's an excuse, right? Say, "Are you the one who sent the little book?" β
Cheng Xiaohao was stunned and asked, "What?" β
The child glared angrily at the little eyes: "Don't pretend, you are the spy of the little book!" β
Cheng Xiaohao's face was full of innocence: "I really don't know what you're talking about, but I heard the spy you said, how can I be a spy, I'm just a scholar who came to buy some drawing paper." β
The child was still angry, he put the basin in his hand on the ground, and made a dull "dong" sound: "Since you are buying a painting, then go and get it now, please leave as soon as possible, the store must close early today." β
"Well, of course that's good."
Since such an obvious eviction order has been issued, Cheng Xiaohao naturally can't continue to be cheeky and break the casserole to ask to the end.
The two of them came to the front room.
Child: "If you want to buy something, hurry up, I'll have to ask for it later..."
Although he told himself not to be nosy, Cheng Xiaohao couldn't help but ask, "What please?" β
When the child put the basin on the ground, the sharp-eyed Cheng Xiaohao found that the black cloth didn't seem to be water, because the water was not so thick... Could it be...... Blood!
So what's going on in the backyard? And what about the spies that the kid just said?
Cheng Xiaohao was so curious.
It always feels like it's going to be exciting, and it's a shame to miss it.
