I washed my face, changed my clothes, and went to the front. Xiao Liuzi was dusting off, and when he saw me coming in, he said hello to me! Since it was still early, there was not a single customer in the store, and it seemed very deserted!

I turned around a row of Bogu shelves and saw that Old Qian was settling accounts, and he heard my footsteps, looked up and nodded to me, and buried his head in the ledger again! Lao Qian's fingers quickly flicked the beads on an abacus, making a crackling sound, like the explosion of firewood and grass in a fire! Xiao Liuzi put down the work in his hand, invited me to sit on a chair, and then brought me a cup of hot tea!

I opened the bowl and saw a few emerald green tea leaves floating in the snow-white tea bowl, which gradually stretched and expanded under the brewing of hot water, absorbing the water, and the curling heat slowly rose! I took a sip of tea from my bowl and glanced aimlessly around the shop. Although the name of the Spring and Autumn Boat is quite bluffing, the store is not big. There was a pair of blue and white porcelain vases at the door, the pair of large vases were huge, and they were more than one person high, and I knew at a glance that they were a pair of new imitation porcelain!

I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and I thought to myself, "What's wrong with me? How can the good things in the store be placed at the door? This bumps don't count, if someone really moves away one day, then where can they be reasonable? ”。. I have collected antiques for so many years, and I have summed up an experience, the things in the general store, the more they are placed outside, the more worthless they are, those really good things, the shopkeeper are locked in the cabinet, and they easily refuse to show people!

I looked away and glanced at other things in the store, the store was full of bottles and cans, several Bogu shelves were also stuffed with things, and there were old calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall near the south.

I stood up and looked at the things on the Bogu shelf, and I saw that there were a few good things on them. On the right hand side of Lao Qian, on a small table, put a few bronze tripods, from a distance to see the green embroidery mottled, I was just about to go over to take a closer look, but Lao Qian suddenly raised his head, pulled the abacus beads and said, "What do you think, sir, these things?" ”。

I smiled and perfunctory and said, "Something good!" ”。

When Lao Qian got my affirmation, he said happily: "The good things are locked in the warehouse, do you want to see me go and get you a few pieces?" ”。

I said I'm not busy, it's not too late to watch it when I have time in the future! Lao Qian was a little disappointed, and laughed at himself: "A small place like ours is certainly not as good as your Beijing City!" Even if we have a little gadget, it won't get into your eyes, sir! ”。

I heard something in Lao Qian's words, so I said to him, "Lao Qian, you are too careful!" How could I mean that? It's just that I'm so hungry that I can't afford to look at your baby! ”。

Old Qian suddenly realized, he slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, look at my head, I forgot about this stubble!" Little Liuzi, Little Liuzi ......! ”。 Lao Qian called Xiao Liuzi in a stack, took out a few foreign coins from his pocket, put them in Xiao Liuzi's hand, and instructed: "You take Mr. next door to eat something, and then take him for a walk, but don't be in a hurry to come back, and don't be reluctant to spend money!" ”。

Xiao Liuzi took the money and said, "Uncle Qian, I'm leaving, what should I do in the store?" ”。

Old Qian waved his hand impatiently and said, "Isn't there still me here?" ”。

Xiao Liuzi nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Qian, I'll take Mr. to dinner!" ”。

So I went to dinner with Xiao Liuzi first, and then went to the city for a walk. I found that it is isolated inland, and there are few traces of modern civilization. The city is surrounded by tall walls on all sides, and there are four gates in the south, south, west, and west, and these four gates lead to the outside of the city in four directions, connecting this mountain city with the outside world!

Near the south gate near the root of the city, there is a huge market, next to the market stands a church, the ornate spire of the church, standing in the middle of a gray-black roof tiles, looks magnificent and solemn! I heard from Xiao Liuzi that there was a Belgian priest in the church, and every once in a while, he would give alms a kind of flour cake, and once when everyone had eaten all the cakes, the priest said to everyone that they were eating the meat of a man named Heye, and when everyone heard this, they repaid it, and blew up the camp on the spot.

I was amused by Xiao Liuzi and asked him how he happened? Xiao Liuzi said, I don't know how to get it later, the old priest is not only fine, but also sent out by the county master himself! I asked, "What about the priests?" Xiao Liuzi slapped his thigh and said, "Of the few people who twisted the priest, none of them ran away, and each of them was beaten by a dozen boards!" Sir, you say this is infuriating? Is there no royal law in this world? It's okay to kill people and set fires, but these innocent people will suffer with them! ”。

I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and asked the little sixth son, "Is the man the priest said called Jesus?" ”。

Xiao Liuzi's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Sir, how do you know?" Yes, the old priest seems to be talking about Jesus! You say that this man is too unlucky, he was killed by the old priest, and he made dough, which is worse than a thousand cuts! ”。

Xiao Liuzi sighed while continuing to say: "Since this incident, our people here are very afraid of that priest, and then the city began to lose children again, and everyone suspected that the old priest did the ghost, and then the case was solved, and I heard that it was a few parishioners who abducted the child to Macau!" However, some people say that in fact, those children have not been bought in Macau, they have already been eaten by the old priest, and I have heard that the old priest specializes in eating people's hearts and practicing demon methods! ”。

I listened to what he said interestingly, so I asked him, "What happened?" ”。

Xiao Liuzi said, "What else? That's the end of it! I heard that the family has lost a child, and they are discussing burning down the church! ”。

I asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”。

Xiao Liuzi cursed and swore: "It's true, whoever says panic is a puppy!" ”。

I asked him, "Doesn't the yamen care?" ”。

Xiao Liuzi pursed his lips and said, "Who cares?" Whenever it comes to foreigners, the government is blindly compromised, completely ignoring the lives of the people! ”。

I sighed, I felt that I was no longer interested in shopping, so I followed Xiao Liuzi back, walked to the door of the Spring and Autumn Fang, and saw a mule cart parked in front of the store, Xiao Liuzi happily shouted: "Sir, the owner seems to be back!" ”。

I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and I hurried a few steps with Xiao Liuzi, opened the curtain, and broke into the store. As soon as I walked into the Spring and Autumn Boat, I saw a middle-aged man with a white face and beard talking to a big man, and when he saw us coming in, the middle-aged man's face changed, and he hurriedly arched his hand at me and said, "Mr. Charlie, are you okay with Beijing?" ”。

I also smiled and said, "Mr. Nanpo, where have you been?" I've been waiting for a while! ”。

Zheng Nanpo said embarrassedly: "Mr. Charlie, I'm sorry, I'm riddled with mundane things, and I couldn't meet it in time, forgive my sins!" ”。

I looked at the big man standing on the side and said to Zheng Nanpo, "This is ......!" ”。

Zheng Nanpo smiled awkwardly and said, "This is the second brother of Cheng, one of my old friends!" ”。

Na Chenger smiled slightly and nodded at me.

When Cheng Er saw me coming, he said to Zheng Nanpo: "Brother Nanpo, you have a friend here, let's talk another day!" ”。

Zheng Nanpo asked: "Then where can I find you if I have something?" ”。

Cheng Er said: "If you have anything, go to the Guandi Temple in the north of the city to find me!" ”。

Zheng Nanpo arched his hand and said: "In this way, I won't send it!" ”。

Cheng Er turned his head and stared at me deeply, and said jokingly: "Mr. Charlie, you don't want to go out these days!" ”。

I asked him why? Cheng Er told me with a smile that there might be a big mess in this Chaling City, and he also advised me to change my clothes, otherwise the mob would see it, so what would it be like? After saying this, he didn't wait for me to speak, just laughed and walked away!

Through the window, I saw him jump into the cart, and with a wave of his whip, he struck the mule's back, and a puff of smoke rose from the mule's back, and the cart creaked and walked slowly! I turned around and asked Zheng Nanpo, "Brother Nanpo, who is this Cheng Er?"

Zheng Nanpo laughed and said, "I, the second brother, although I have some reputation locally, I can't compare with your Charlie brother!" ”。 Then he leaned his mouth and whispered to me, "He is our Ming Tufu here, who specializes in digging graves and robbing graves, and doing some lifeless business!" I heard that he just dug a big tomb recently......! ”。 When he said this, Xiao Liuzi walked in with a teacup, Zheng Nanpo coughed, and stopped talking.

Xiao Liuzi put the teacup on the table, bowed, turned around and was just about to leave, but was stopped by Zheng Nanpo, he asked Xiao Liuzi, "Little Liuzi, where did the old money go?" ”。

Xiao Liuzi nodded and said, "Go back to the east, Uncle Qian said that he would go home, and he said ......!" ”。

Before Xiao Liuzi's words were finished, Zheng Nanpo shouted: "This old money, I don't have any eyes at all, what kind of home are you going back to at this time?" Don't you see that the shop is unattended? ”。

Xiao Liuzi opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Qian, he ...... Didn't he tell you about his leave? ”。

Zheng Nanpo was furious and scolded: "You are a junior apprentice, and you dare to talk back to me? ”。 After that, he slapped Xiao Liuzi in the face! Xiao Liuzi let out an "ah", and the tea tray also fell to the ground! I was startled, and hurriedly grabbed Zheng Nanpo and persuaded him: "Brother Nanpo, why are you bothering? He's just a kid! ”。

Zheng Nanpo refused to give up, and scolded: "Little Liuzi, if you think that my temple here is small and can't accommodate your great god, you kid can find another high branch, and I, Zheng, will never keep it!" ”。

I grabbed Zheng Nanpo and looked at Xiao Liuzi and told him to leave quickly! Xiao Liuzi covered his face, even forgot to pick up the tea tray, and ran out as soon as he slipped away!
