The Secret Words of Immortality Chapter 42 The Pawnshop of All Things
Taking advantage of the surprise of the audience, "Never Night Three" took a sip of tea.
"Isn't this a robbery? How can it be called a pawn? Someone questioned.
"Don't be anxious to see the official, there is ...... below" "Buye San" wiped the tea foam floating on the water with the lid of the teacup, and said with a smile: "When the guys saw that Boss Wu heard a word, they sent out 1,000 oceans, and they felt quite strange, but Boss Wu was taboo and kept silent. ”
"Sleepless Three" stroked his beard, closed the folding fan, only listened to the sound of "pop", and slapped it on the table.
He went on to tell the story.
"About half a year later, one day at noon, a big box appeared at the door of the pawnshop." "Sleepless Three" stood up, and while drawing the shape of the box in the air, his eyes widened, revealing a greedy expression: "Guess what's in the box?" ”
"What?" Everyone asked in unison.
"There is nothing else in it, just 10,000 oceans and a letter."
"Never Night Three" shook the pendulum of his robe, sat on the chair and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, is it strange that you say this thing?" ”
According to the description of "Three Nights", Boss Wu was puzzled, opened the letter and saw that there were four words written on the letter, 'Redeem a word'. Boss Wu suddenly realized that it was the man who redeemed it.
Hearing this, the audience talked a lot, and then clapped their hands.
"It's a miracle indeed." Mu Zifeng thought about it, no, it's just too legendary, although I have heard the story of "One Word Dang" before, but I don't know so many details, it can really be regarded as a daughter.
Just as he could hear it in the alley, a hand slapped on Mu Zifeng's shoulder, and as soon as Mu Zifeng turned around, a middle-aged bearded man in a blue coat sat on his right hand, touching his cheeks and laughing: "What's the matter, the noble man forgets things, the son doesn't know me?" ”
Mu Zifeng looked at the man with a strange look, but he didn't know each other. Caught off guard, he stretched out a hand on his left hand, picked up the blue package on Mu Zifeng's leg and left.
The thief who grabbed the package was short in stature, he rushed towards the door of the teahouse with the package, Mu Zifeng just got up to chase after him, but he was stopped by the bearded man on the side.
Seeing that the package was robbed, Mu Zifeng was angry, and punched the man under the armpit, taking advantage of the man's pain, Mu Zifeng rushed out of the teahouse and found that the thief who grabbed the package was fleeing to the north.
"Stop, catch the thief." Mu Zifeng blurted out, but the thief didn't look back, and he was about to disappear into the crowd.
said that it was too late, and then quickly, only to hear a "boom", a figure floated over from mid-air and fell to the ground, Mu Zifeng fixed his eyes and saw that it was the thief who grabbed the package.
Who is righteous, Mu Zifeng was overjoyed, and a familiar voice sounded in his ears:
"Dare to touch your fat baby, I think you are tired and crooked." Jia Fatzi stepped on the thief's hand.
"Fat brother, I'll take a look at this thief." The eldest young master, Zhao Zichuan, also paced leisurely and followed.
It turned out that after Zhao Zichuan was released, he couldn't find the "three crooked sons" and Mu Zifeng, so he went to the train station to find Jia Fatzi, only to know that he went to the pawnshop to change money today, so he came with him.
The blue package fell to the ground, and the leather bag fell out. The people watching the excitement next to them widened their eyes and came around, and some people wanted to pick up a bargain and take advantage of the chaos to touch their bags and leave.
"I'll see who dares to step forward and let you taste the fat man's box cannon." Fat Jia took out two box cannons and yelled at the crowd.
When the people saw that he was fierce, they did not dare to come forward again. The thief on the ground suddenly hugged Jia Fatzi's thick legs like copper pillars.
"Uncle, I can't help it, I was forced by those people." Mu Zifeng looked at it, and the thief was actually a child, but he was only a teenager. The child's hands were swollen from the stamping, his face was broken, and bright red blood was dripping down his chin.
Mu Zifeng looked back at the teahouse again, and found that the bearded man was gone, presumably seeing that the situation was not good, he took the opportunity to escape.
Indeed, Mu Zifeng had heard rumors that some thieves bought some children from traffickers and forced them to steal and rob them. Every day, if the child fails to complete the task, he is beaten and abused, and even if he completes the task, he will only get a little food. If they get sick or die, they will be left on the side of the road like dogs, and no one will take pity on them.
As a child, his mother often used this incident to scare him. Therefore, when Mu Zifeng goes out, he will follow his mother closely, and he doesn't want to fall into the hands of human traffickers.
Seeing the tragic situation of the children, Mu Zifeng felt some pity in his heart, these children have lost the love of their parents since they were children, and they also lost their father's love when they were young, aren't they all poor people in the world.
"Hey, little thief, you fat man don't eat this."
"Zichuan, pack up the parcel on the ground first." Seeing that there were many people around, Mu Zifeng hurriedly asked Zhao Zichuan to pack the leather into the package.
He touched his pockets and found that there was still 1 ocean and 5 coppers left, and 1 ocean paid for tea, and gave Xiao Er or 4 coppers, bought ten big buns, packed two bags, and handed them to the child.
"Boy, no matter how poor you are, you can't steal, you have to find a way to earn your own life, otherwise you will definitely be beaten to death if you are caught, you know?" Mu Zifeng squatted down, touched the child's head, handed him the big bun, and said, "You go." ”
"Thank you, benefactor, I will repay you." The boy took the bun and kowtowed three times on the ground with tears in his eyes, and he stood up, pushed through the crowd, and walked into the distance.
"Jia Fatzi, Chuanzi, it's just right that you're here, we'll go to the No. 19 pawnshop now." The so-called wealth is not exposed, Mu Zifeng feels that he must hurry up and do serious things.
"This is really a snitch snatching a bag and being kicked by a flyer, interpreting the legend of young virtues." "Three Nights" clapped his hands and laughed, turned and walked into the teahouse, and continued to talk about his book.
"Brother Feng, how much is it worth to find that treasure in the "Strange Garden"? Zhao Zichuan heard Jia Fatzi say that he found a piece of jade, and he thought that a piece of jade could be worth how many oceans?
Mu Zifeng glanced at Zhao Zichuan, and said with disdain: "The thousand-year-old jade of the thousand-year-old jade, you won't have heard of it, right?" ”
"Brother Feng, what you said, then I will naturally rest assured. Am I not worried, child? If you come to the garden and steal yourself, you will not be able to get out of the treasure, and it will be too bad. ”
"Your family? It's our Mu family's garden. Mu Zifeng thought secretly in his heart.
Listening to Mu Zifeng, he did find a baby, and Zhao Zichuan's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit. Mu Zifeng knew that he wanted to help Lu Qingyou get rid of his gambling debts, and won the beauty to throw herself into his arms.
"Chuanzi, I miss your chick again, to be honest, hehe, that chick can be in shape." Jia Fatzi teased Zhao Zichuan.
"Fat brother, we call it love."
"Still in love, haha."
"Don't worry, I'll change the ocean later, yours is indispensable." Mu Zifeng interjected, this Zhao Zichuan is indeed a typical noble brother, and he only thinks about his romantic things in his heart.
"Hey, Chuanzi, have you found the 'three crooked sons'?" Mu Zifeng saw Zhao Zichuan's squinting appearance, and suddenly remembered the situation when the "three crooked sons" looked for him that day, as well as the death of the "three crooked sons" in the "strange garden".
"I didn't see him, he disappeared since you went to the 'Strange Garden' that day!" Zhao Zichuan shook his head: "Listen to the fat brother, did you see his corpse in the strange garden?" ”
"Well, it doesn't have to be his body." Mu Zifeng glared at the fat man Jia, and said in his heart: This fat man has a lot to say! Seeing this, Fat Jia lowered his head and inserted two box cannons into the waistband of his trousers.
The three of them came to the No. 19 pawnshop, which has a total of three floors, standing at the intersection of Sifang Street, which is the place where the flow of people meets, and the end is very lively.
Mu Zifeng looked at the pawnshop and found a pair of couplets pasted on both sides of the door:
Respect the heavens and respect the ancestors, when gold, when silver, when all things
Horizontal criticism: one word and nine pins
"That's a big breath!" Zhao Zichuan was a little unconvinced. Most people may think the same way when they see it. But Mu Zifeng heard the story of "One Word", and felt that what he said was true, and this No. 19 pawnshop was definitely a powerful master.
Walking into the pawnshop, they found that the pawnshop in the traditional industry has also kept pace with the times.
The furnishings in the pawnshop are not quaint, but some foreign style, and the entrance is a hall, the hall has a glass counter, and there are 8 windows on the counter. There are 49 large chandeliers hanging in the hall, and on the left side of the hall is a long foreign sofa, and a coffee table is placed opposite.
There are also two martial artists in black coats patrolling back and forth in the hall, and the guests who come in and out are holding things and carrying the ocean, like a marquee.
At this time, it was almost noon, and the pawnshop was full of people, quite lively, and finally there was no one at the window, so Mu Zifeng and the others walked forward in the air, opened the leather bag, took out Yugui, and handed it over.
Why did he choose to get rid of these things, Mu Zifeng felt that after all, they were ancestral things, and now they should be used as the cost of finding the "Book of Eternal Life", and they would be redeemed when they had money in the future.
The guy took the burden and looked at it, and was momentarily stunned.
Under the reminder of Jia Fatzi, the man came to his senses, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly invited Lao Wu to the account room, Lao Wu saw that the items he was doing were not ordinary things, and he couldn't be the master, so he hurriedly went to ask the shopkeeper.
When Wu Ziyong, the shopkeeper of the No. 19 pawnshop, held a magnifying glass in his hand to look at the piece of jade carefully, and was still muttering something in his mouth, Mu Zifeng knew that the deal should be done.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of shopping around, you are afraid of not knowing the goods. Sure enough, this Wu Ziyong was quite profound, and after a while, he put down the magnifying glass, invited Mu Zifeng and the three of them into the private room, and served three cups of Longjing tea.
"Little brother, I'm a businessman, I don't want to ask you the ins and outs of this thing, I'm just talking about business, how much money are you going to be?" Wu Ziyong asked tentatively.
Mu Zifeng knew that the pawnshop industry was constantly pushing down the price of pawns. For example, if you come to be a good porcelain, it will be said to be a broken porcelain. This is also the unspoken rule of the pawnshop industry, you come to be a thing, you are waiting for money, you can only let him slaughter.
