"Sticks?"

The other party mentioned the stick again, I was slightly surprised, maybe it was because of the old black before, as long as someone mentioned the stick, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Yes, the stick you have stuck in your waist, hehe, you look like you're here to sell it, right?"

The dwarf man smiled a little wickedly as he spoke.

I originally wanted to refuse in person, but suddenly I thought about it, and many of the things that Lao Hei said last night were ambiguous. Today it is better to find some way to get more words out of the mouth of this dwarf man. Thinking of this, I didn't rush to refuse, but calmed down and said, "Is this stick market so good?" ”

When the dwarf man saw that I seemed to be intentional, he immediately became more enthusiastic, shook off the long hair that he didn't know how many days had not been washed, and said with a smile: "If you are interested, come with me, and we will find a place to talk." ”

I was still inexperienced in the rivers and lakes at that time, although I was a little clever but not strong, the dwarf man said this, and nodded and agreed to follow.

He walked in front, and I followed, all the way through the busiest part of the market, into the two bungalows next to the market.

The dwarf man closed the door gently, and I looked around, and the windows on the four walls of the house were completely sealed with wooden boards, which were not transparent to light, and there was not much dust on the ground around them, and the overall feeling was very dark and not very comfortable.

"Brother, sit here."

The dwarf man wiped a wooden chair next to him with his clothes and said with a smile.

After sitting down, I held the stick and didn't speak, but the dwarf man smiled and said, "My name is Li Dunzhu, and my friends call me Zhuzi." What do you call a brother? ”

"My name is Ba Xiaoshan." I opened my mouth to answer, then asked with a strange frown, "You're not a minority?" ”

"I'm from Shaanxi, but I often move around Yunnan and the border. You also know that we are in this line of work, and you are used to it. ”

He seemed to think of me as someone who did the same thing as him from the beginning, and so did Lao Hei, and I felt even more strange in my heart, and opened my mouth to say, "How long have you been doing this?" ”

"That's a few years, and it's going to take six or seven years. Little brother, you look young, I guess the years are relatively shallow, who is carrying it? ”

He asked me rhetorically, and there seemed to be a hint of tentative intent in his tone.

Where's someone on top of me? But at this moment, if you can't answer the horror, you will reveal your identity as a layman, think carefully in your mind, and open your mouth to say: "Old Black." ”

I know two people who have strange skills in this area, and when I say Daba, I feel that the road is too easy to be seen through by the other party, anyway, Lao Hei is not a decent person, so I simply lean on him.

Zhuzi listened to my words, and his face couldn't help showing some surprise, frowning and muttering, "Lao Hei also accepted the little brother?" Didn't he do it alone? ”

"A few days ago, I helped him collect a 'Rub Kur'."

I felt that the other party was a little suspicious, and hurriedly continued, and after hearing this, Zhuzi seemed to believe a little, turned the topic back to my stick, and said, "Then little brother, are you taking tickets or objects?" ”

I'm a little blindsided, what are these tickets and objects? I don't understand, it looks like their jargon.

"What do you think?"

I feigned some hesitation and asked rhetorically.

"If you take the ticket, I don't have much here, and you are not satisfied with the price quoted. If you will, we can take the object. I have a few treasures here, maybe I can exchange them with you. ”

When I said this, my mind was spinning and I understood a little. The so-called ticket refers to money, and the object is probably some other antique or valuable thing, that is, bartering.

"Oh? That's fine, you can show me what you have here? ”

I asked strangely, on the one hand, because I was curious to open my eyes, and on the other hand, because I wanted to use more jargon in their circle.

"Okay, then you can open your eyes." As he spoke, Zhu unbuttoned his coat, only to see that his coat was full of all kinds of knick-knacks, a few of which I still knew, such as a medallion that looked like it was made of pure gold. However, more objects are still very unfamiliar, there are a few teeth that look like beasts, and a few copper coins similar to the old black used before, wrenches, jade pendants, bracelets, and so many patterns for a while I feel a little dazzled.

"That's a lot of stuff."

I said in amazement.

"Haha, that's it. If you don't have a good foundation, how dare you come out and go out of the rivers and lakes? What do you think? Is there anything you like? ”

He asked with a grin.

I don't know anything about their business, but I know some of the rules of antique circles. What is shown must not be the treasure at the bottom of the box, and the first thing to show you is the color of the big head. The real good things are only unveiled at the end of the day. So I pretended to be serious, frowned, and said, "These things are very ordinary. ”

"Hey, little brother is really wronged, these are all first-class treasures, you see, this is a magic weapon of the Motan Sect, and you can't see it outside."

He was a vigorous salesman, and the degree of hard work was nothing compared to the counter waiter in the store department at that time.

At last seeing that I was unmoved, and the beads knew that I could not look at these things, so she put on her clothes, slapped her thigh and shouted, "Well, you are a connoisseur, I will not show you these things." There are a few things you can look at, and if you don't see them, I'm afraid this business won't be done. ”

As he spoke, the bead stood up and took out a bag from a dilapidated water tank at the back of the room, wrapped in black cloth, and opened it with three things. The first one was a stone, the size of a thumb, yellow and crystal-like, with something wrapped in the middle. The second is a bracelet, which looks like a small leaf of red sandalwood, with no accessories but a small iron pimple at the top. The third is the book, which looks old, still thread-bound, the cover is a little torn, and the bottom surface seems to be damaged, and the whole looks like it must be old.

Three objects were placed in front of me, and even my eyesight could tell that they were not on the same level as those things just now.

I stared at these three objects, the yellow stone I recognized, called beeswax, what is beeswax? In fact, it is amber, which is made up of the resin secreted from the trunk of the tree, and if it contains insects, it is valuable. The more yellow the beeswax is the better, and there is an old beeswax in the fat man's house, which is red in the yellow, which is said to be an object played with by a certain brother in the Qing Dynasty.

The bracelet is not ordinary, like a small leaf of red sandalwood, the beads are flat, and the iron bumps on the top look like a demon-slaying pestle, but this form of demon-slaying pestle is rare, and I can't judge it casually.

Then there is the third object, the book, on the cover I can vaguely see that the name of the book is "Strange Tales of the Mountains", most of which are in traditional Chinese, and I can recognize a few of them. I don't know who wrote it, and I've never heard of it before.

Zhu Zi was a little proud, obviously these three things were the proud treasures under his hands, and looking at me felt as if waiting for me to cry and beg him to exchange.

I'm not stupid, I have a good shelf, but after a long time, the other party is easy to run. So he said, "It's a nice thing." ”

"Of course, my beads are always genuine. These three objects, just like your magic stick, you pick one. ”

I held the magic stick, frowned, thinking in my heart that I hadn't figured out this magic stick yet, the strange patterns on it, and the principle of why the female ghost was locked in didn't understand, so I was a little unwilling to be replaced.

"Your stuff is good, but I'm afraid it has nothing to do with what I'm going to do for a living."

I said nonsense, but I didn't expect the bead on the other side to shake his hair, and said a little unhappily: "How can I sell you ordinary goods?" Okay, let me introduce you, little brother, you should have seen the world with Lao Hei, but after all, Lao Hei likes to wander around Yunnan, the outside world is bigger, and there are more good things than in this mountain. ”

Unexpectedly, I had no intention of inserting willows into the shade, and the temper of this bead was hung up by me, and I held the beeswax in my hand with a chatter in my mouth, pointed to the beeswax and said, "You take a closer look at whether this beeswax is different?" ”

I was stunned, leaned over to take a closer look, and really saw something different. There are words engraved on the outside of the beeswax! Although it was not obvious, if you looked closely, you could still see it, it seemed to be some scriptures, I glared and asked, "What is engraved on it?" ”

"Great Compassion Mantra!"

The beads took the beeswax back, as if they were afraid that I would snatch it away.
