Chapter 102: Horn Comb

The mare's milk wine was still very strong, and the fat man returned to the guest room and soon fell asleep.

I struggled to put the photos back in my backpack and paced back and forth in the room, trying to sort out the bizarre things, only to find that I had no clue and ended up leaving the room alone.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the sunset in the desert looked extraordinarily large and red.

Outside is the commercial area, and there are many more pedestrians on the street than when I first arrived in the afternoon, so it seems that the workers are off work.

The shops on both sides are filled with a dazzling array of goods, and there are also some locals on the streets who set up stalls selling miscellaneous things, in addition to some snacks, spices, skins, ethnic costumes, handicrafts and so on.

I had just eaten and I couldn't eat snacks or anything, so I focused on the grocery stall.

"Good leather...... Let's take a look......"

"Do you want to ...... deer antler velvet?"

“……”

Hawkers in stiff Mandarin peddled their wares to passers-by.

My eyes lingered on a handicraft stall, which was dominated by small pieces carved from animal horns, such as wine glasses, snuff bottles, combs, and so on.

The owner of the stall did not shout like the others, but sat quietly on one side and carved something seriously. I walked in and took a look, and saw that he was carving a small snuff box, the prototype of which had already been revealed, and he was carefully polishing it.

I didn't bother him, just stood by and watched quietly. I envy such craftsmen who can be alone in this busy city, can do what they love, and can carve and polish things that are pleasing to the eye according to their own ideas.

"Qin Fen, why are you here!" Liu Rumei's voice came from the side.

I subconsciously turned my head to look, but I didn't recognize her for a while. At this time, she was wearing Mongolian costumes, a fiery red Mongolian robe, fiery red pointed Mongolian boots on her feet, and a fiery red headdress, which was inlaid with pearls, corals, agate and other gemstones, and the whole person was like a jeweled fire.

"Is it pretty?" Liu Rumei noticed that I was looking her up and down, stood on tiptoe and quickly turned in a circle, asking me as she turned in a circle.

I nodded and said, "Beautiful, but I almost didn't recognize it." ”

Liu Rumei asked: "Even if you praise me?" ”

"Uh-huh." I nodded, then looked around her and saw that she was the only one, so I asked, "What about the girl?" ”

Liu Rumei: "Are you asking Qiqige?" ”

Me: "Hmm. ”

Liu Rumei: "She has something to do over there." ”

She said as she drew a direction with her hand.

I glanced in the direction of her hand, and my face was covered with black lines, because it had almost covered most of the Yabarai Salt Lake with one stroke.

I looked around, but I didn't see Kikige, and when I retracted my gaze, I sighed again.

Liu Rumei sighed when she saw me and asked, "What are you sighing for?" Thinking about Kikige? ”

I nodded and said, "You've seen the picture too, what do you think?" ”

Liu Rumei blinked and said, "I know what you're thinking, and I know what you want to say, but I think that even if some things really happen in the future, it's in the future, and it has nothing to do with the present." ”

I savored her words and felt that it did make sense, for example, everyone will die in the future, but that death is also a matter of the future, and it has nothing to do with living now, so there is no need to dwell on it.

I nodded and said, "I understand, I didn't expect you to be quite enlightened." ”

"Average." Liu Rumei smiled and said, "I helped you solve your troubles, didn't you even thank you?" ”

"Thanks?" I hesitated, then turned around and picked up a horn comb from the stall where the horns were carved, and looked at it carefully, and found that the materials were very good and the workmanship was very fine, so I bought it.

After paying, I took the horn comb in my hand and looked at it for a long time, then approached the boss and asked in a low voice: "Boss, can you help me carve a few words on the back of the comb?" ”

The boss's Mandarin was very stiff, and he said, "This has a pen...... You write on it...... I engrave ...... I can't write kanji......"

I nodded, picked up the pen and thought for a long time, then solemnly wrote a line of small words on the back of the comb.

When I was done, I picked up the comb and looked at it myself before handing it to the boss.

The boss didn't say anything, and after picking up the carving knife for a while, the words had been engraved on the back of the comb. He gave me the comb when he was finished, and did not charge anything, but whispered to me, "Friend...... The Mongolian girls are all very good...... Be ...... to her."

I was stunned for a moment, and glanced in the direction pointed by the boss, Liu Rumei over there was dressed in fiery red, no matter how she looked at it, she was a Mongolian girl. I understood that the boss had misunderstood, but I didn't explain, smiled and said thank you, and turned to leave.

Liu Rumei saw that I was back and asked, "What are you going to buy, and the boss is still muttering and whispering, afraid that people will hear it?" ”

I smiled and handed her the horn comb in my hand.

Liu Rumei found that it was a comb after taking it, and asked, "Did you give it to me?" ”

I nodded.

Liu Rumei looked at the stall and said to me, "It's just a comb, isn't there anything valuable on this stall?" You bought it because the comb was cheap, right? ”

I smiled and said nothing.

Liu Rumei shifted her gaze to the comb in her hand again, and finally saw a line of words on the back of the comb.

"There are women in the east of the river, and the willow leaves are like eyebrows."

After she finished reading it, she saw that I was still staring at her, her pretty face flushed, and she said with a smile: "The words are so ugly......

……

"Mr. Qin is also here." Qiqige's voice came, she held two portions of yogurt in her hand, and then said: "I would have bought three servings if I knew that Mr. Qin was here, so let's eat it first, and I'll buy another ......."

I hurriedly waved my hand and said to her, "No, no, I just finished eating, I don't have any appetite, you can just eat by yourself." ”

Liu Rumei also interjected on the side and said: "Let's eat ours, leave him alone, he wants to eat it and let him buy it himself, he is super rich." ”

The corners of my mouth twitched, was I just praised by the rich second generation worth hundreds of millions of dollars for being super rich? What kind of compliment is this, it's a slap in the face, right? Isn't it just disgusted that the comb I gave me is cheap, as for burying people like this?

Liu Rumei didn't care about this, holding the yogurt handed over by Qiqige in one hand, holding Qiqige with the other, and walking into the distance without looking back, Qiqige was dragged away by Liu Rumei, she turned back and smiled at me awkwardly.

I'm the only one left messy in the wind.
