As far as the eye can see, there is a narrow alley, and the houses on both sides look like houses, but they are very cramped, and there are more small doors to lead to the inside.
Lanterns hung from the outside of each house, with no handwriting, only a few strange symbols drawn on them. Pei Jinzhen guessed that most of them were code words, which may indicate what kind of business this company is, but she couldn't understand it.
In the alleys, there are not many people talking, but there are also a lot.
But they were all silent and silent.
Pei Jinzhen suppressed the curiosity in his heart and followed behind Nuda. Soon, they came to the door of a house. Nuda raised his hand and knocked lightly on it five times, three long and two short, and after a while, the wooden door was pulled open from the inside, and an old woman with a wrinkled face poked her head out, raised a pair of eyes, and with two points of coldness and vigilance, coldly swept Ji Shuxuan and Pei Jinzhen behind Nuda.
Nuda smiled and handed out two wooden signs, and Pei Jinzhen guessed that it was probably something that Ji Shuxuan bought with a lot of money that allowed the two of them to enter the ghost market.
Sure enough, after the woman glanced at it twice, she got out of the way, "Please!" ”
Inside the wooden door, it is a very ordinary folk courtyard, which is very cramped, but two zhang square. Passing through the courtyard, the old woman arrived at the closed wooden door, knocked on the door, and said in a dumb voice, "Fifth master, there is a visitor." ”
The door creaked open, and two middle-aged men, one on the left and one on the right, stood by the door, one was tall and thin, and the other was as short and fat as a ball, with a strong contrast.
Pei Jinzhen lowered his eyes, did not squint, followed Ji Shuxuan, and the group entered the house.
The lights were lit in the room, but they were not bright, faint and yellow, and only slightly lightened some darkness.
The owner of this shop, Fifth Master Chen, was hidden in the darkness, and Pei Jinzhen and Ji Shuxuan, who were led to the lamp, looked at it carefully.
After a moment, a distinctly rough voice was heard asking, "Two, who is the one who spends the money?" ”
It's asking them who is the one who is going to do the business today.
Ji Shuxuan turned his head to look at Pei Jinzhen behind him.
Pei Jinzhen did not tell Ji Shuxuan what news she wanted to buy, and so far, she can only answer by herself.
Pei Jinzhen had already prepared, and said unhurriedly, "I'm going to ask the fifth master for help." ”
Over there, the old woman didn't know when she invited a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to come out, and set them up one by one on the only wooden table in front of her, and made a "please" gesture to Pei Jinji.
Pei Jinzhen comprehended, took a step forward, took a pen, dipped it in ink, and after concentrating for a while, wrote a string of words on the paper.
As she put down her pen, the old woman stepped forward, took the paper, and went into the darkness.
Pei Jinzhen sneered, and the light in the dark didn't know if this Fifth Master Chen could see what she wrote. If you can see clearly, isn't it a master who can see things in the dark?
Suddenly, the rough voice sounded again, "This has been a matter of many years, and it may not be easy to find out." ”
"The five masters have vast magical powers, and it is difficult for others to do it, but it will definitely be difficult for the fifth master." Good words don't cost money.
"You little ...... Childe can speak, but it's a pity, I, Chen Lao Wu, am a businessman, no matter how nice the little boy says, I shouldn't let the price, but I won't let it. ”
"So, did Fifth Master Chen take over my business?" Pei Jinzhen asked with a smile, and there was cunning in the cat's eyes.
"It depends on whether the price can be negotiated." In the dark, Chen Wuye said lightly. "The people you are looking for, if you find them, what will be the price? Is there a time limit? Are there any other requirements? ”
"Found it, can you help me buy it and send it back to me? When...... The sooner you are, the better. Pei Jinzhen has his own charter in his heart.
"I understand what the little boy means. Bid now! Chen Wuye said, and he scratched the palm of the old woman's hand.
The old woman nodded, stepped forward, and stretched out her hand towards Pei Jinji, "Little boy!" Please! ”
The old woman's sleeves are very wide, Pei Jinzhen has heard of this way of bargaining, and he is a little curious, but he still said bluntly, "I don't know the rules, and I ask the old man to take care of it." ”
"The little boy is so smart, he will definitely learn it." The old woman grinned, and the smile pulled at the crumpled face, looking a little strange, "Please! ”
Pei Jinzhen took a deep breath, stretched his hand under the sleeve of the old woman, and the two held hands.
She was bound to get this matter, and the price was not very restrictive, but in a moment, a consensus was reached.
The old woman withdrew her hand and curtled her knees.
In the dark, Chen Wuye laughed roughly, "The little boy is really a cheerful person." If you get the news, I don't know where to report it? ”
"Just let Nuda come to me!" Ji Shuxuan, who had never spoken, said in a deep voice.
Pei Jinzhen thought about it, it would be much more convenient to report to him, so he nodded.
"That's good. The little boy pays a deposit, and he can have someone send you out. My Chen Lao Wu took over the business, and the little boy just waited for the good news. ”
"Wait." When the old woman reached out to Pei Jinzhen to ask for a deposit, she said suddenly.
In the room with a sudden strange gaze, she smiled casually, "I heard that Fifth Master Chen is here to buy and sell news." I bought a message and now sell another one. I don't know, it's feasible to use this as a deposit and make friends with Chen Wuye? ”
These words made a room full of people stunned. It was Ji Shuxuan, who also looked at her in disbelief.
The room was eerily quiet for a while, and suddenly, in the corner, Chen Wuye laughed. "It's really interesting. Good! Regardless of whether the news of the little boy is worth the price, just for the courage and cheerfulness of the little boy, I Chen Lao Wu recognized you as a friend. ”
"The fifth master is really a cheerful person. I can't let the fifth master suffer, can I? The fifth master still read the news first, whether it's worth it or not, let's talk about it! Pei Jinzhen owed.
As she spoke, she took out a folded piece of paper from the placket of her shirt and handed it out with both hands.
The old woman got Chen Wuye's instructions, accepted the note, and handed it to the corner.
This time, Chen Wuye was silent for a little longer.
When he spoke again, there was a little more seriousness in his voice, "Is this news of the little boy really only a deposit?" ”
Listening to Chen Wuye's meaning, Nuda and Ji Shuxuan both glanced at her, it seems that this news should be worth more than a deposit?
"I said, this is just my sincerity, it doesn't matter if I can make a deposit or not, the most important thing is that I want to make friends with you from the fifth master. In the future, no matter what news I have to sell, or what news I want, I can still ask the fifth master to make it convenient. Pei Jinzhen put one hand behind his back and said with a smile.
Putting aside that too good-looking face, where does she look like a girl raised in the boudoir in front of her? Ji Shuxuan looked at her, her eyes were a little complicated, she was always like this, always when he thought that he knew her well enough, he was surprised and let him discover her different side.
