The antique market was still so lively, but instead of hanging out, we went straight to the Treasure Shop.

The profiteer boss was still sitting at the counter, and after hearing me say that he wanted to buy the "Charms", he enthusiastically introduced it again: "The little brother really has extraordinary eyesight!" This is actually my family heirloom! But looking at the little brother's clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, he is a perfect match for this book! In this case, I can only endure the pain and cut my love. Friendship price, nine thousand! ”

"What? Two months ago, it was 8,000! Seeing him so black-hearted, I couldn't help but exclaim.

The boss showed an expression of 'you don't understand' and said, "The same cabbage, can the price be the same in spring and autumn?" ”

"But what does the ancient book have to do with the seasons?"

"Okay, little brother, then let me ask you, a hundred years old book or a three hundred year old book, which is worth it? It must be that the longer it is placed, the more valuable it is, how can the price before two months be compared with the price after two months? ”

Seeing that I was stunned, Master Jiang stepped forward and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this paper and binding technology are all from the Republic of China period, and they are worth two hundred at most." ”

"Wolver? Why don't you grab it! "The boss quit, and the price of 9,000 yuan was directly bargained to 200, which is simply a robbery!

Master Jiang showed an unfathomable expression: "Although this is a manuscript, it is not a famous work, and the quality is average, if it is really a thing of the Ming Dynasty, can it still be left until now?" It has long been bought by collectors. ”

was told the truth in one sentence, and the boss said with some confidence: "Although the real book is something from the Republic of China, it is the real work of the calligraphy master 'Niu Jintao'!" You see, there's an autograph on the back. ”

Master Jiang waved his hand: "What Niu Jintao and Ma Jintao, I haven't heard of it!" It's better to be like this, everyone shows sincerity, take a step back, I'll add a little, and you will be cheaper, how about it? ”

"That's pretty much it." The boss agreed.

"Two hundred and one."

"Eight thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine."

The two spoke at the same time, Master Jiang said that he could give an extra piece, and the boss said that it was cheaper. And I'm speechless, these two guys are insincere!

Sure enough, the boss said: "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, see that you are a knowledgeable person, I don't want much, this book is at least two thousand, if you want it, take it directly!" ”

"Three hundred, I didn't bring much cash with me when I came out today."

"Then I'll give you a cheaper price, one thousand nine, if you really don't have cash, go to the bank to get it, or you can swipe the card." As he spoke, the boss took out a pos machine and put it on the table.

"In that case, I'll add twenty, three hundred and two......"

In the next ten minutes, they rolled up their arms and sleeves, and all kinds of bargaining techniques emerged one after another, and the sky was dark and miserable! In the end, it was Master Jiang who had a slight advantage and bought the ancient book at a price of four hundred and five. The boss glared angrily, stunned that he had nothing to do.

Walking out of the Treasure Pavilion with the "Complete Collection of Charms", I was in a good mood and asked, "Master, how do you know that this is a book from the Republic of China?" ”

"I've studied these things before, don't you still need a peachwood sword? But it seems that there is no real thing to be found here. ”

"Look, it's really nothing."

While searching, Master Jiang asked, "Boy, I heard that you have a master?" ”

"Listen to whom?"

"Yun Sheng, she also said that you have peerless magical skills, but you were not 18 years old before, and your master didn't let you use it."

That's just a forced force I pretended to be yesterday, and it's really hard to explain, but the third brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother taught me martial arts, and I can be regarded as half a master, so I nodded: "That's right." ”

The master asked a little embarrassedly, "Does your master still accept apprentices?" ”

Burst! I almost vomited blood, and hurriedly said, "No! ”

"That's a shame......"

At this moment, the ugly ghost suddenly sighed, as if he had found something, and floated forward, and I hurriedly followed.

I saw the ugly ghost stop in front of a stall, which was very simple, with a cloth on the ground, a few gossip mirrors on it, and a basket next to it, in which more than a dozen wooden swords were placed. The stall owner was a man in his thirties, who was fanning the wind with a fan, and when he saw us coming, he hurriedly greeted: "Brother, buy a peach wood sword, the price is cheap." ”

Master Jiang looked at the peach wood sword in the basket and said, "Brother, your wooden swords are not very good, where did you get them?" ”

"Brother, I'll tell you the truth, I was originally a chef, working part-time to make ends meet, and I've been renting a house. But just two weeks ago, when I was at work, a lawyer suddenly came to me and said that my grandfather had died and that the entire estate had been left to me. In fact, it was not my own grandfather, just a distant relative, the old man had no children and no daughters, so I bought something to visit him during the New Year's holidays. Who knew that he had already made a will, saying that if he died, he would let the lawyer leave all the inheritance to me. The inheritance is his house, but he liked Taoist things very much during his lifetime, and collected a lot of gossip mirrors, peach wood swords and so on, but these things are of little use to me, and it's a pity to throw them away, so I took this here to try my luck and see if I could sell it. ”

At this time, the ugly ghost was staring at the ugliest wooden sword in the basket. I saw that the wooden sword was a little charred, as if it had been burned by fire. The ugly ghost stretched out his finger and touched it lightly, but as soon as he came into contact with the wooden sword, a sudden change occurred! His fingers evaporated as if they had vaporized!

But there was no anxiety on the ugly ghost's face, and he slowly retracted his hand and said, "Sure enough, it's lightning strike wood, buy it." ”

Even if I repeat it, I can see that this is a treasure! But it can't be revealed, what if the stall owner doesn't sell? So I pretended to be indifferent and asked, "How did you sell this wooden sword?" ”

"I see that there are also people over there who sell peachwood swords, they are 50 swords, and my sword is a little different, just 30 swords."

I pretended to hesitate and said, "There are 13 wooden swords in this basket, I want them all, can I sell them for 300 yuan?" ”

The stall owner hurriedly nodded: "Sell, sell." There are a few swords in this that are in particularly poor condition, especially the one, which seems to have been burned by fire. He pointed to the 'Lightning Strike Wood' sword and said, "Those that are not in good condition will be given to you for nothing." ”

"Well, this basket ......"

"I'll give you too!"

I looked at Master Jiang with a smile: "Give the money." ”

Master Jiang had an unhappy expression on his face: "Didn't you say that you only need a handful?" ”

"It's so cheap, what's wrong with buying a few more? Besides, how much did I help you? I saved your daughter last night. Hearing this, Master Jiang had no choice but to take out three hundred yuan with a painful face, and the stall owner hurriedly took it, for fear that we would regret it. But what he didn't know was that the wooden sword he looked down on the most was exactly what I wanted the most!

Holding a basket of wooden swords, walking out of the antique market, Master Jiang said viciously: "Stinky boy, you will definitely be a profiteer in the future, you can't be wrong!" ”

In this regard, I can only say hehe, and said: "We are clear, we don't owe each other in the future, I'll go first, bye-bye......"

……………………

Then he took a basket of wooden swords and took the bus home.

There weren't too many passengers on the bus, so I sat in the back row and asked in a low voice, "Ugly ghost, what is lightning strike?" It looks like it's very powerful. ”

The ugly ghost did not disappoint me, and replied, "Thunder strikes wood, also known as thunder splitting wood, thunder striking. As the name suggests, it is a tree that has been struck by lightning, among which the jujube tree is the best, and the thunder splits the jujube wood is the thing of the sun, and the ghosts are afraid of it. ”

"Really? So powerful? I remember two years ago, there seemed to be a tree in the vicinity that was struck by lightning. Why don't we go collect lightning strike wood? ”

The ugly ghost shook half of his head and said, "It's not that simple. The real lightning strike wood refers to the tree that can survive after being struck by lightning, and only the part that has been split is called lightning strike wood. If the tree dies after being split, the part in the split is not considered lightning strike. Why is it called the Thing of the Sun? Mainly by the credit of thunder and lightning, if the tree dies after being split, it means that the tree that has been split cannot store lightning energy, so it is just a piece of charred wood, not lightning wood. ”

"I see? Lightning strikes must be rare, right? ”

"Yes, very rare."

"Ugly, how do you know so much?"

The ugly ghost frowned: "I don't know, I can't remember......"

……………………

After dinner, my dad said he was going to take me to the hospital, and I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong Dad?" I'm not sick. ”

"Why aren't you sick?" Dad turned his face blank: "Your mother told me, you came back today with a basket of peachwood swords, is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes, but that's what I used to exercise, and you should know that I've been learning Tai Chi swordsmanship lately."

Dad leaned back in his chair: "Just like you, you still have Tai Chi swordsmanship?" Show me two tricks. ”

"The boy obeys!" I clenched my fist, ran back into the house, pulled out a common wooden sword, and danced in the living room.

This swordsmanship has been practiced for almost two months, and the connection between the moves is proficient, what point sword style, stabbing sword style, sword wiping style, practice is decent! Even my mother, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, was attracted to me, and when I finished practicing, my mother clapped her hands and said, "Look, our son is quite decent!" ”

"Hmph, if only I could study so decently." Daddy glanced at me and said, "Get dressed and get ready to go to the hospital." ”

"Dad, I'm really not sick."

Seeing that I was scared like this, my father was happy: "Who said you were sick?" Do you remember your Aunt Zhang? ”

I thought about it: "Aunt Zhang? That Aunt Zhang in your company? Is she sick? ”

"It's her child, and it's said that she's not in good spirits,"

I breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "That kid is in elementary school, right?" I saw him two years ago, he's quite lively, why is he in bad spirits? ”
