Li Yingxue and I looked at him, and the fat man threw the note in his hand, with a line of address written on it: No. 88 Liulichang.

I was stunned for a moment, glanced at the fat man, and he smiled: "Lao Chen, we met an old friend again this time." ”

The status of the glaze factory in the capital, everyone on the earth knows, to say that Panjiayuan is the No. 1 antique place in the capital, then the glaze factory has to be counted as the antique zero place in the capital.

This antique market, which started earlier than Pan Jiayuan, has declined in the eyes of people now, and the things in the glaze factory are gradually not like Pan Jiayuan only do professional antiques, but all kinds of miscellaneous things are sold, and the professionalism is not strong.

But these are the views of outsiders, in the antique circle of the capital, there is a sentence that is particularly widespread:

Don't enter the park early, don't enter the factory at night.

This garden is Pan Jiayuan, because of the Pan Jiayuan in the morning, good goods and fakes are piled up into a mountain, laymen are going early in the morning, want to take the opportunity to touch some good things, but they don't know that buying is not as good as selling, people who pass in the morning are "cannon fodder", buy fakes almost, connoisseurs just finished lunch, wipe their mouths, left hand big front door, right hand bird cage, wearing shorts, drag slippers, swaying into the garden to buy things.

And the second half of the factory, is the glaze factory, the reason why the glaze factory does not enter the glaze factory at night, the layman thinks that it is the profiteer who takes advantage of the black light to sell fake things, so he does not go, and only the insiders know that the glaze factory at night is not a place to buy things for the living.

As for when this statement began, I don't know, anyway, when I arrived in the capital, this statement has already spread, some say that this is the vegetable market entrance of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and some people say that it was a dead man's pit in the Ming Dynasty, in short, there is everything.

I was also deceived by the fat man to rent a shop in Liulichang, for no other reason, the rent is cheaper than Pan Jiayuan.

There are various legends circulating in the glaze factory, and if you want to say that the one that is closest to the current urban legend, it is this glaze factory No. 88.

The house number of the general shop, starting from 1, has been to 100, but the glaze factory is different, the left side of No. 88 is 86, the right is 99, and the left side is missing an 87, Mr. Feng Shui said that this shows that No. 88 This house is destined to do a "missing door" business, and it is missing on the left, since ancient times, the left yin and the right yang, this 88, is the business of the Yin Division.

I don't know if this Mr. Feng Shui is accurate, or this Mr. Feng Shui is the 88 number businessman Gu Lai spread rumors, in short, the goal is to achieve, the business of No. 88 is really big, it can almost be said that it is the largest store in the antique business in the glass factory, every month from this store out of the antiques, there are at least 15 pieces, you know, this amount for an ordinary antique businessman, half a year may not be able to produce so many goods, after all, it is not open for three years, and it is not a joke to open for three years.

Another difference between No. 88 and others is that this shop only sells wet goods.

The so-called dry goods and wet goods, in fact, are the black words of the antique circle, dry goods mean that the road is right, and has done special treatment, what dirty things are handled clean, the people who buy are assured, the people who sell are also worry-free, and the general antique lovers will buy this kind of things.

As for the wet goods, it is not the right way, it may be dug out of someone's grave, or it may be snatched from someone else's hands, anyway, there is something dirty stuck on it, but this kind of thing also has an attraction, that is, mystery.

It's like someone likes to eat pig's intestine, what they like is the smell of the meat, although there are not many people in the whole capital who like wet goods, but these people are all top rich people, and they usually use money as paper, so they almost go to the toilet to wipe their buttocks, so No. 88 has almost become one of the stable sources of supply for these people.

As for the owner of No. 88, it is a pity that I don't know the fat man, and it is said that there are very few people in the entire antique circle who know about it, and the reason why the fat man said that we are old friends with him is because the only wet goods that I have ever handled from my hands are the owner of No. 88.

But these are all things in the past, in short, the fat man insisted that the reason why that incident happened was because the boss of No. 88 made a move on the wet goods, which caused me to almost lose a bankruptcy, and we can be regarded as "settling the knot" in that matter.

The fat man looked at me in a daze, guessed that I thought of the past, and said with a smile: "I said Lao Chen, you and this No. 88 are really fateful, last time we planted a heel in the hands of people, and now it seems that his people came to get rid of the little ghost, but it also makes sense, then the master likes to play with these evil things, okay, since you know who did it, what are we doing?" Take a trip to the capital and catch the old ghost? ”

I have the same idea as the fat man, at least I have to go back to the capital first and figure this out, as for whether the 88th will be given to us, that's another matter, doing business is nothing more than making a profit, as long as the price can be negotiated, these are not problems.

Now the question is, what should Li Yingxue do?

The fat man saw my concerns, and said with a wicked smile: "Lao Chen, you said that you are all married, how can you abandon your younger siblings at this time?" Isn't that brother and sister? ”

I stretched out my hand and wanted to hit him, but when I looked up, I found that Li Yingxue was a little embarrassed by what he said, her eyes were a little dodgy, I shouted in my heart that I was doing evil, I wanted to earn some money and play happily for a few years, and then I thought about marriage after thirty-five, but I didn't expect to end the marriage so inexplicably.

I was also a little embarrassed, turned my head and asked Li Yingxue: "What do you think, do you want to go to the capital with us?" ”

She seemed to be struggling with something, and the fat man hurriedly mended the knife and said, "I said brother and sister, you must go with us!" After all, we don't know what that little imp is, and even if we're coming back, what will we do with that thing? You can't raise them like grasshoppers, right? That's too embarrassing for us brothers. ”

I look at the fat man's attitude, I guess he wouldn't have returned to the capital honestly without Li Yingxue, so I had to echo him and say: "The fat man is right, we don't clean up that thing, and you have to go out." ”

Under the persuasion of the two of us, Li Yingxue finally nodded and agreed, and the stone in the hearts of the fat man and me could be regarded as falling to the ground.

At night, the fat man and I packed our luggage and couldn't sleep in bed, so I asked him: "Fat man, let me ask you, do you think Li Yingxue is a fox demon?" ”

The fat man gnawed on the pig's trotters from the villagers, and said without raising his head: "What are you asking for, is it the fox demon what's wrong?" ”

"Anyway, in my heart... It's a little awkward. ”

I can't tell you how I feel in my heart, I used to be a complete atheist, I didn't believe in any cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and the same attitude as the fat man, but these things I have experienced in the village these days, it can be said that my world view has been completely shattered, and I am inexplicably what a fox demon, a demon pill, and a brain sticks to me, which really makes me a little confused.

The fat man smiled and said: "Lao Chen, I'll just talk about you, sometimes it's easy to think too much, what difference do you say she is a fox demon or not?" Whether she is or not, you just treat her as a normal person, what's wrong, are you afraid that you two will spend candle nights in the cave, and she will suck you dry? ”

"your grandma!" I picked up my slippers and threw them at the fat man: "Why do you think you think about it like that?" Didn't you just say anything when you first came, all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods are paper tigers, you don't believe it at all? What's the matter, it's changed again? ”

The fat man finished gnawing the pig's trotters, sat up and said, "Lao Chen, let me tell you, people in this world, especially those who do what we do, can not believe it, or believe it, it doesn't matter, do you know why not?" Because it all depends on what you think? What do you mean by that? Consciousness determines matter? It seems to mean that, anyway, as long as you don't have a threshold in your heart, you can think whatever you want, what does she care about? ”

I laughed at him: "You didn't finish the fucking elementary school, and you still played philosophy for me?" Sleep and sleep, get up early tomorrow and go back to Beijing! ”

The next day, I got up early with the fat man, and when I walked outside, Li Yingxue was already waiting for us at the door, she was wearing a sportswear, plus she was tall and in good shape, I was a little embarrassed to see it.

The fat thief patted me with his eyebrows: "This is your daughter-in-law, what the hell are you shy about, haha!" ”

"Fuck your uncle!"

Because of my marriage, no one in the village wants to get close to me, let alone send us away, I and the fat man left 30,000 yuan in the village guest house, so that the boss will give the villagers a point, after all, there is such a big matter, to be honest, I still feel a little sorry for them in my heart.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when we arrived in the capital, it was already more than ten o'clock the next night, and the fat man began to yawn and look at me while making a look at me, looking at me strangely, and asked him what he was doing.

The fat man whispered: "Do you have any fucking eyesight, can you live in three people in your broken house?" ”

As soon as he said this, I realized that there were three people coming back this time, and the house I rented would definitely not be able to live in.

The fat thief smiled and said to Li Yingxue: "Brother and sister, I will stay in the hotel tonight, you and Chen Ming go home to live, and they all say that this newlywed is full of energy, so I will disturb you, I will go back first, you go slowly!" ”

After he finished speaking, he ran away without even giving me a chance to scold my mother.

I complained a few words and asked Li Yingxue what she meant, but she didn't say anything, just nodded with a red face, and I was still a little excited in my heart.

As soon as we walked out of the airport and were about to go to the taxi place, we saw the fat man standing there stunned, with a-eaten expression on his face, not knowing what he was doing.

I scolded him: "What's the matter, you eat, your face is so ugly?" ”

The fat man made a helpless expression at me, and I was about to ask him what was going on, when a bald head suddenly came out from behind the fat man and smiled at me: "Boss Chen, I've been waiting for you for a long time, can you come with me?" ”
