I gave the man 200 yuan, and after sending him away, I asked Liu Rumei: "What do you think about this?" ”

Liu Rumei had been frowning and thinking, and when she heard me ask, she replied, "Now I don't know who to believe." ”

I can understand what she said, although this letter is full of suspicions, but at least on the surface, 653 and the men in black are not in a group, and judging from the warnings of the men in black, 653 may not be good for us, but it is unknown whether the men in black will just want to cover up.

Who to trust is a difficult question.

I don't know why I'm getting involved in this mess, and I can't think of anything of my own that is worth someone else's calculations. That's why I think everything is incredibly bizarre.

And then there's the fact that we took that bead away, and the three of us who really know about it, and the others don't know yet, so it shouldn't be because of that thing.

I felt a little headache, so I gently slapped my forehead with my hand, and then said to Liu Rumei: "No matter what, at least we trust each other." ”

"Hmm." Liu Rumei nodded firmly.

……

Just as we were sighing, another customer came to the store.

The man looked about thirty years old, with a sad face, wearing a Mao suit, and carrying a long cloth bag diagonally behind his back, which looked like a long wooden box.

"Excuse me, is the boss here?" The visitor asked politely.

I hurriedly got up to greet him, and after a polite gesture, I asked the purpose of the visitor.

He didn't answer immediately, but unwrapped the package from his back and put it on the counter. After opening the package, a long mahogany box was revealed, which looked very simple and had no special decorations, just an ordinary mahogany box.

I was puzzled and asked, "Are you going to sell this mahogany box?" ”

The man shook his head and opened the lid of the box, and then I saw him pull a knife out of the box.

He held the knife in front of him and looked at it for a long time, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he handed it to me and said, "Boss, I want to sell the knife." ”

"Selling knives?" I'm a little speechless, it's not that swords and the like are not antiques, but this kind of thing is generally stained with blood, and generally no one buys it and puts it at home, plus this thing is also a controlled knife in a sense, so people who make antiques generally don't touch this kind of thing.

"Well, boss, this knife is an ancestral heirloom, you can give it an estimate." The man said very sincerely, holding the knife.

I'm a little embarrassed, just by looking at the scabbard, I know that this is about the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and it is a typical Qi family knife. It's a good thing, but it's a vicious thing, and I don't want to get involved.

The man looked at me with a sad face, sighed, and put the knife in the wooden box, as if he was leaving.

I also sighed and said, "Brother, this thing is an antique, yes, if it is worth a lot of money, but unfortunately this is a knife, and it should be clear what the knife was used for in ancient times, right?" ”

The man listened to me, stopped the movement of his hand, and said, "I understand what the boss said, I want to ask how much it is worth, and where else does anyone accept this thing." ”

I thought he might be short of money and was in a hurry to change the money, so he said, "What about the price...... There are only about 30,000 real things...... I don't know where anyone will take it. ”

"Thirty thousand......" His eyes suddenly dimmed, and his tone was full of disappointment.

I asked, "Brother, are you in any trouble?" ”

"Hey!" He sighed and continued, "Yes, my daughter-in-law is sick, the money has been spent, and I remember what my ancestors have passed down......"

"I see." I didn't think he was lying, and I felt a little sympathy in my heart, and reached out to pick up the knife in the box, and gently pushed the scabbard to pull it out.

Sure enough, it is a good knife, the slender blade has no trace of rust, the blade looks very sharp, and it seems that the owner is also very cherished.

A few small words were engraved on the brass hilt, and I read them softly: "Hebei Beichen Wu Clan." ”

I looked at it, put the knife in the sheath, put it back in the box, and said, "In good condition, it will be forty or fifty thousand at most." ”

"Forty or fifty thousand is not enough...... the man whispered, frowning.

I also looked at him helplessly, and said in my heart: Forty or fifty thousand yuan has to be asked for someone to have it, and it is not worth a penny if no one asks for it.

……

"Master, do you know how to use a knife?" Liu Rumei, who had been playing with her mobile phone next to her, suddenly asked.

The man froze, then nodded.

"Master, can you practice for us to see?" Liu Rumei then asked.

The man seemed to have been mentioned something sad, and the expression on his face was very sad, but after a while, he regained his composure, sighed, and said, "Well, maybe I won't have a chance to practice again in the future......"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the open space in front of the antique shop, and then said to Liu Rumei: "This girl, I'll play a trick at this door." ”

"Hmm." Liu Rumei nodded.

I don't know what kind of medicine this girl sells in her gourd, so I can only wait and see.

The moment the man picked up the knife, I suddenly felt that his whole temperament had changed and became sharp. He didn't say anything, but walked quietly out of the store, and stood still in the open space in front of the door.

Liu Rumei and I followed closely behind, standing in front of the door and watching him. Even Wen Bo and Xiao Jie rushed out to see the excitement, especially Xiao Jie, a kid who may have never seen a handle show since he was a child, and he was very excited.

The man slowly pulled the knife out of its scabbard, gently placed it on the side of the steps, then took a few steps back and stood still, holding the knife in one hand and making a starting gesture.

Then I felt that my eyes were not enough, because he was dancing so fast, and the knife flowers were one after another, and the people turned with the knife, and the knife moved with the person. I couldn't help but sigh, I didn't see that this was a practitioner.

Pedestrians on the pedestrian street were immediately attracted by this scene, and there were more and more onlookers eating melons.

Stop recruiting momentum and salute with fists.

I hurriedly took the lead in applauding, and the onlookers also came back to their senses, hurriedly applauded, and even shouted for another one, I hurriedly stepped forward to explain, and the crowd eating melons dispersed.

When I got back to the store, I invited the man to sit down by the tea table, and I took Xiao Jie, who was in the fun, aside and sat down by the tea table myself.

Liu Rumei smiled and said, "Master, I don't buy your knife, but I want to buy your skill." ”

The man was stunned and looked at Liu Rumei in confusion.

I immediately understood Liu Rumei's thoughts, this is a practitioner, and it must be no problem to be a bodyguard or something. Sure enough, Liu Rumei continued: "Master, I want to ask you to be a bodyguard, what do you think?" ”

"This ......," the man muttered.

Liu Rumei continued: "I forgot to introduce myself, I am also the boss of this house, if you want, you can report here tomorrow, the salary can be negotiated, as for your lover's medical expenses, you don't have to worry about it, I already have arrangements." ”

"Huh?!" The man was obviously stunned by Liu Rumei's words, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and then asked, "Can you really manage the medical expenses?" ”

Liu Rumei nodded.

The man then asked: "The doctor said that the operation will cost at least more than 300,000 ......."

Liu Rumei's expression was calm and she continued to nod.

"You're not kidding, are you?" Still not convinced, the man said, "What can you do if you hire me?" I don't know anything about antiques......"

Liu Rumei smiled and said: "Look at these people in our store, they can't carry their shoulders and can't carry them, and the things in the store are expensive, what if you meet a bad person?" ”

"Oh......" the man suddenly said, "Security guard, then I can, but how much can a security guard be paid?" That's more than 300,000 yuan, when will I be able to pay it back? ”

"You don't have to pay back the money." Liu Rumei smiled, and then said, "What about the salary...... The annual salary is 100,000 yuan, and the bonus is additional. ”

"Huh?" The man was stunned again, and asked in disbelief, "Boss, this is a serious deal, right?" I said it in advance, I can't do anything illegal......"

Hearing him say this, Liu Rumei and I both had black lines on their faces at the same time.

"Don't worry, we're doing serious business." Wember on the side interjected, his old man rarely interjected like this, and it seemed that he also had sympathy for the knife seller.

With a loyal elder like Wen Bo as his guarantor, the man was visibly much more relaxed, and he then asked, "Then what should I do every day?" ”

Liu Rumei pointed at me with her finger and said to the man, "Protect him." ”

"What?!" Before the man could speak, I was already screaming. I really didn't understand what this girl was going to do, so I hurriedly pulled her aside and asked, "I said Miss, we can't spend it like this even if we have a lot of money, right?" Besides, what do I have to protect, if I want money but no money, will there be people who can't rob me? ”

Liu Ru pouted, and said in the same way that I despised the fat man: "Yo Yo Yo, look at what you can, and rob you, why don't you go to heaven?" ”

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for me to speak, and laughed first. I looked at this girl depressedly, and secretly vowed to separate her from the fat man in the future, to see how long it had been, and what had become of her being led astray by the fat man......

I tried to argue, but she stopped me with a sharp look, and it seemed that she had other plans, so I had to give up for the time being.

Liu Rumei turned around and asked the man who sold the knife: "Master, are you surnamed Wu?" ”

The man nodded and asked, "Yes, boss, but how do you know?" ”

Liu Rumei smiled and said, "Isn't there a word on the hilt?" ”

"Oh." The man was stunned, and then his mobile phone suddenly rang.

Dingdingding......

"Hey, Aunt San...... Did something happen at the hospital...... What the...... Did you say someone sent half a million...... What the...... Didn't the person who sent the money say who it was...... What ......"

The man's expression when he spoke on the phone changed from nervous to surprised, and then to incredulous, he didn't even hang up the phone, let the person in the receiver feed and shout, he turned his head to look at Liu Rumei, and asked, "Boss, did you pay the money for the hospital?" ”

Liu Rumei smiled and said, "Didn't I say it before, the medical expenses have been arranged." ”

"But, but......" The man was still a little incredulous.

I was also a little surprised, I didn't see who she contacted this time, and I didn't even know the name of the knife seller, how did she find out who the other party's lover was and which hospital she was in for medical treatment?
