Chapter 48: Purple Gold Pipe

I followed Liu Xiaoxiao to pick up the little golden mouse she customized for me, to be precise, it was a replica of my little golden mouse.

As we walked into the shop, I saw a man in a pale camel robe with a bushy beard on his upper lip, and he had a purple pipe in his hand.

I was very curious about him, and even more curious about the pipe in his hand, and asked casually as I was leaving, wondering who it was.

In this era, I still wore a long shirt and a beard like that, but it made people curious, not to mention that I already had a strong curiosity.

This time, curiosity killed the cat, but Liu Xiaoxiao and Boss He said that they didn't see anything.

I was really speechless in the face of their two pairs of strange eyes looking at me, just because they didn't want to tell me, think about what people are doing here, there should be something bad to say.

But who am I, will I report them for cheating here, what's wrong with me, I don't even have this sense of trust, which makes me very annoyed.

Liu Xiaoxiao hurriedly pulled me out, and apologized to Boss Nahe as she walked, afraid that Boss Nahe would have any opinions on me.

I'm so angry in my heart, is my sister still afraid that he will be angry, but Boss Nahe hesitated for a long time, and stopped me just when I was about to open the door of the store and go out.

"Here, let your sister see this." Boss Nahe said as he walked towards the inner room.

"What's wrong?" I turned my head to look at his tall back.

Liu Xiaoxiao gently squeezed my hand and signaled me not to talk nonsense, and I couldn't twist her, so I pouted and followed her back.

That Boss He took out an old photo album and looked at me meaningfully with the eyes behind those big eyes.

I walked over without care, looking at his bare forehead, and I didn't understand what he wanted me to see, did he still want me to look at the photo to recognize people?

But the man looked at me, solemnly brought the old album to me, pointed to an old photograph on it, and asked me with his eyes, I looked at the serious face, and thought that he was not joking with me, so I looked at the photo he pointed to with a straight face.

I was greeted by an old black-and-white photograph of a middle-aged man in light-colored clothes, with a thick short beard and black-rimmed eyes.

Isn't this the same person, and he said that he has no one else here, no one else wants me to see this picture, why is it?

I was about to nod my head to confirm, but suddenly my scalp went numb, and I saw a line of small white characters written on the upper right side of the photo: "1929 Peking Commemorative Memory".

I was, in the 1929 photo, I was already middle-aged at that time, how old is this person now, how can he be more than 100 years old, but how can that person still look like that, why hasn't he aged at all.

I pointed to the photo and looked at Boss He, and asked him with a confused look Who is this person?

"This is my grandfather." Boss He looked at me with certainty and replied.

"Your grandfather, he is still alive now, why don't you see old age?" I looked at Boss He in surprise and asked.

Boss He's bare forehead was soaked with sweat, and he just stood there looking at me, his lips trembling slightly, and he was already purple.

When I saw him like this, my heart was even more furious, and I secretly hoped that I was wrong, my sister would never be so unlucky, and I saw a ghost in broad daylight again!

What frightens me is that Boss Nahe is still there looking at me, not saying a word, isn't this clearly saying, is my sister really seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

"No, heโ€”he's got a pipe in his hand." I tried to find in my brain what the person I saw was different from the old photograph.

But except for the jade-mouthed purple pipe, what's the difference, he looks exactly the same, my sister is now looking forward to her own eye problem, if it's my eye problem, then everything will be easy to explain.

Boss Nahe didn't say anything, turned around and walked inside again, Liu Xiaoxiao and I could only stand there and look at him, not knowing what strange things he would take to show me this time.

I felt that the hand that Liu Xiaoxiao was holding me was already sweating, and I couldn't help but look at her quietly and tell her softly that there was no need to be so nervous, it was just a coincidence.

But Liu Xiaoxiao still stared at Boss He with wide eyes, and he didn't even dare to blink in those eyes.

Seeing her like this, my heart became more and more nervous. You know, I've seen ghosts, and even if there are ghosts here, I'm not so afraid, but their nervousness makes me panic.

After a while, Boss He walked out of it, this time holding a red sandalwood box in his hand, which was the size of a palm, and there were many patterns carved on it, as if it was very precious.

When Boss He placed the red sandalwood box on the table in front of me, I realized that he was wearing a pair of white gloves on his hands.

Such caution made me have to pay attention to this box, and nervously watched him gently open the red sandalwood box, only to see that there was a purple pipe with a white jade mouth in it.

The mouthpiece looks delicate and shiny, while the purple color of the pipe itself has a metallic texture, but the color is very dark and has a dull sheen.

"This pipe is metal?" I asked softly.

"This is purple dust gold." Boss He whispered, and now even fine beads of sweat oozed from his nose.

"Golden?" I looked at Boss He in amazement.

"Yes, my grandfather loved to smoke cigars, no, you can smoke a cigar by sticking it in here." Boss He pointed to the pipe and said to me.

I don't know the difference between a pipe and a pouch, and of course I know that pipes are smoked by sticking cigarettes into them, and they can use gold to make pipes, and their family is a little too rich.

Not to mention the purple dust gold, just a gold-plated pipe, for a common people, it is already very valuable, I really don't know how rich his ancestors are.

And when the boss took the golden pipe out of the red sandalwood box in a trembling way, I saw that the pipe had a faint yellow light, and the light was only a flash, and before I could see it, it was gone.

"Little girl, you must not be an ordinary girl, can you help me take a look, what is different about this pipe?" Boss He nervously held the pipe in front of me.

He looked so nervous, who dared to take this pipe, I took his hand, and looked at it there pretendedly, and saw that the pipe was very exquisitely made.

The pattern carved on it was the same as on the red sandalwood box, curled like a vine plant, wound around the pipe.

Although I don't smoke, I like it when I look at it, and I really want to touch it with my hands, but when I see the snow-white gloves on Boss He's hand, I still can't help it.

Even he held it so carefully, did I dare to touch it with my hands, I had to endure it.

"This pipe looks pretty good." I said casually, in fact, I didn't know what to say to this boss He, and I didn't see anything wrong with this pipe.

"Nothing different?" Boss He stared at my face, his hot gaze made me feel very embarrassed, I really didn't see anything different.

"Well, is this the only pipe in this box?" I thought about it, and asked Boss He, although the light just now was a little weaker, but I still saw it, if anything is different, it is the light, it is really strange.

"In the box?" Boss He stared at my face, I was really afraid that this face would be seen through by his gaze.

"yes, there seems to be something else in that box?" I looked into the empty box.

Three pairs of eyes, plus Boss He's big glasses, were all staring at the box, but there was nothing else there except the padding of the bright red velvet.

I don't know why, I just felt that there was something else in the box, and when I saw it, this hand involuntarily reached over, pointed to the pad, and asked Boss He to pick it up.

Boss He and Liu Xiaoxiao both looked at me with puzzled expressions, and in the end, Boss He still made up his mind and picked up the pad.

But there was still nothing under the padding, looking at the bottom of the rosewood box on that side, I really had a feeling of blushing and thick neck, was this my mistake, or my feeling was wrong, anyway, it was wrong.

"I don't know about this, but it just feels weird." I muttered and looked embarrassedly at the sweaty Boss He.

Who knew that Boss He let out a long breath and said that it was best to say nothing.

Perhaps, nothing is really the best, and I also believe in this view, in the first place, nothing is the best thing, but it is really good to find out something.

I let out a long breath, and my eyes were still looking at the pipe with reluctance, and I felt that it was really beautiful.

Liu Xiaoxiao stretched out his finger and buckled it under the cushion that Boss He was pinching in the air.

A small triangle, the yellow thing fell out, and the faint yellow light also flashed and fell to the ground.

I screamed and leaned down to pick up the thing that had fallen to the ground, but my hand stopped again when I was still a finger away from it.

I've seen something like this before, it's something my mother keeps asking me for, but I never want to carry, it can't be wrong, it must be a talisman.

Through the yellow paper, you can also see that the handwriting in cinnabar is faintly visible inside.

I know that this thing cannot be moved, so my hand stops there, trying to pick it, but I dare not pick it.

If it was before, my sister would have taken this thing in her hand without hesitation, but now, I don't dare, because I have seen ghosts and know how powerful this thing is.

"What's wrong, what's that?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked me eagerly.

Maybe it was my actions that scared her, and she looked at me in a daze, as if something big had happened.

I stood up slightly, looked at the two men who were staring at me with wide eyes, and leisurely took out my phone, telling them not to arrive yet, let me make a call.
