Chapter 22: Selling Gold

I got out of bed gently, and in order not to make a sound from walking, I crept to the door barefoot, and listened carefully to the door, and it was quiet outside, and I waited for about three or four minutes, and suddenly another soft sound came from outside the door, and I slowly put my hand on the doorknob and pulled it open suddenly.

"Whew!" A dark shadow flashed in the moonlight. It was so fast that I couldn't even see what it was.

Could it be that thing knocking on my door? What the hell does it want?

I stepped forward and took a step, I felt that there was a ** cold and cold thing under the footboard, I removed my foot and looked, it was a small round object, slightly glowing, I was curious to pick it up and take a look, it was like a copper plate, there was a tooth mark on it, I wiped it, the tooth slowly disappeared, but it was getting brighter and brighter like electricity.

How does it feel a bit like **gold?

I'm suspicious, who put this treasure on my doorstep?

Seeing that the light was still on in my mother's room, I knocked on the door and asked my mother what it was, and my mother took it, looked at it, and said with wide eyes, "This is gold!" ”

"Won't it?" I was pleasantly surprised: "Is it really gold?" ”

My mother was also full of suspicions, saying that it was true, and then asked me how I got it, and I said that I picked it up at the door, and my mother was suspicious, and walked to the door with the gold to look, of course she didn't find anything, and asked me, "Did you really pick it up at the door?" "I said it was true. Mother looked around and said, "Could it be that the gods saw that you had no money to study, and sent you tuition?"

I also thought it was weird, and suddenly remembered the sound of the door and the black shadow that flashed by, could it be that this gold was sent by the black shadow? The reason why it rubbed the door was to remind me that I had brought me gold.

But why did it send me gold?

And since it's been delivered, why doesn't it want to see me?

Could it be a red-clothed **ghost?

I think it was most likely her, because I had treated her, and she gave me gold as a token of gratitude.

Only, where did she get this gold? Should I take it or not?

I asked my mother what to do with the gold, and she said that tomorrow she would take it to the market and find someone to see if it was real gold.

My mother got up early the next morning, and I was worried that she was too ostentatious with a piece of gold, what if she was targeted by bad people? I decided to become a bodyguard, at least with a man like me by my side, and the bad guys would have some scruples even if they had bad ideas.

After breakfast, my mother and I set off.

It's an ordinary town, there is an intersection, and there are three streets along this intersection, and when you go to the market, people from the neighborhood come here to do business, and there are thousands of people, so it's quite lively.

We came today on a good day, not in the market, there are few people on the street, it is relatively deserted. My mother and I spent most of the day walking three streets, and did not find a gold business, and then saw that it was getting later and later, no way, I walked into a mobile phone store, the boss greeted me warmly, asked me what mobile phone I wanted to buy, I scratched my hair and asked him where to collect gold.

"What?" The boss probably didn't understand, and looked at me and frowned.

I said I had a piece of gold and wanted to ask a professional to see it.

The boss was stunned, and only after a while did he say: "We sell mobile phones here, you ...... Do you have gold? "I said there was a piece. At this time, a young man who was charging the phone bill turned his head to me and said, "Can you let me see?" ”

He said Mandarin, he must be an outsider, I couldn't help but raise my vigilance and looked at him, and found that he was only ten **** years old, wearing a black ** cape, wearing a black hat, the hat hung slightly, deliberately covering one eye, giving people a special "black" feeling, at first glance I thought he was an underground spy, and I had the impression that he was not like a good person.

The proprietor and the proprietress of the shop also came over curiously, and my mother and I looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then asked my mother to take out the piece of gold.

The gold flashed and sparkled.

The boss and the proprietress exclaimed: "It's really gold!" ”

The "spy's" eyes also lit up, but immediately returned to normal, looked at the gold in his mother's hand and asked, "Can you let me see it?" My mother looked at me, probably to ask for my opinion, and I asked the agent, "Do you know this is gold?" The agent said lightly, you have to take a closer look to find out.

I took the gold from my mother's hand and handed it to the agent, who took it and looked at it over and over again, his eyes gradually brightened, and then he looked up at me and asked, "Where did you get this gold coin?" ”

"Is it really gold?" I asked rhetorically.

He said yes, and asked, "Where did you dig this gold coin?" "I said quietly** that it was ancestral.

"Oh?" The spy smiled slightly and asked, "Ancestor?" How many of these are there in your house? I said there was only this one, and then I asked him how much it was worth, and he held out five fingers at me.

"How much?" My heart skipped a beat inexplicably, and the agent's face was solemn, it seemed that this gold was worth a lot.

"Fifty thousand." The agent said.

My heart boiled directly, I looked at my mother, and my mother also looked at me, and the boss and the proprietress praised me, saying that such a little bit of a big thing is worth 50,000?

Yes, it's only a little bigger, that is, the size of a ** coin. I don't know the price of ** gold in the market now, but according to my guess, such a piece of gold of 50,000 yuan should be considered a high price, right? I was secretly excited, if this piece of gold could be sold for 50,000 yuan, it would mean that my tuition fees would be available, and I would even be able to buy the notebook of my dreams.

The mother was stunned for a long time before asking, "Can you sell it for 50,000?" ”

The agent nodded, "Yes, fifty thousand." ”

Before my mother could speak again, I preemptively said, "Brother, I don't read much, don't fool me, this - how big - a piece of gold is worth 50,000 yuan?" ”

The agent sneered, and did not answer my question directly, but asked, "Are you sure that your gold coin is an ancestral heirloom?" "I said you don't care if this gold coin is ancestral or not, give it a real price. The agent said it was worth 50,000 at most. The mother said, "50,000 lines, 50,000 yuan, do you want it?" The agent said, "I don't want it." ”

I sold a watch last year! Lao Tzu really wants to scold, you don't want to, you still talk so much****? I angrily said to my mother, "Mom, let's go back." As he spoke, he took the gold from the agent's hand, turned around, and walked out of the store. The spy followed, asked where my home was, I vigilantly asked him what **, he said if he was not mistaken, I should be from the mountains, he was idle during this time, I heard that the scenery here is beautiful, especially in the countryside, the mountains are high and the water is good...... I interrupted him and said, "If you want to go sightseeing, go to Mount Everest." Then he walked away without looking back.

It was really infuriating, and in the blink of an eye, my tuition fees were gone, and my notebook was gone...... Mother came up and said that if we lower the price, maybe that person would have bought it, and I said that it would be useless to lower it, that person was not the one who wanted to buy gold at all, and it was more accurate to say that he had evil intentions and wanted to rob gold.

I went to ask a few more places, and they all looked at me with a strange look, feeling that I was more like a, and that selling gold was just a code word. One of the kind bosses said to me: "Brother, if you really want to sell gold, you have to go to the kind of place in the city that specializes in gold, and we can't do this kind of business in this small place." ”

When I woke up from my dream, I felt that my mother and I were too naΓ―ve, the country people were too backward to sell.

After buying some groceries and some food on the street, my mother and I were disappointed and ready to go home.

I parked my motorcycle in front of a supermarket, and there were two children playing on the side, and when I drove past a child, the child suddenly sat on the ground and cried, I thought it was caused by a quarrel with another child, so I didn't care, and said to him, "Don't sit on the ground, it's dirty, get up!" "I drove away on my motorcycle. Who knew that he had only driven less than a meter, and suddenly there was a roar behind him: "The one who drove the motorcycle, you stop me!" I looked back, and saw a man of five years and three thick pointing at me and shouting, "You are the one who called!" I was stunned for a moment, stopped the motorcycle, and before the engine could be turned off, the man rushed up and grabbed my arm and pulled me off the motorcycle.
