Chapter 14: The Other Half of the Pen
A leather bag company, there was no need to engage in any business activities, but Li Wen bought a lot of things. When he was tidying up the venue before, he was still calculating the difference between the invoice and the actual price, and how much he had made this time. But at this time, he was in no mood.
This old flyer reminds him that he must continue to work for this strange company.
Early the next morning, he handed over a few pieces of A4 paper to Chen Su, and explained the company's other affairs, and Li Wen went out directly.
"Bus number four."
Just listening to the name of this business is weird, although the prompt of the business message pops up with the flyer, but he didn't click on the business interface for the first time, because before that, he still needs to do one thing.
After nine o'clock in the morning, Li Wen took the bus all the way to the area near the center of the city, holding his mobile phone and constantly looking at the map.
"Qiaoshi Ancient City Trade Market."
This is it.
Due to the transformation of the urban area, the key economic zones in the urban area are found outside the ring road, although it is the original downtown area, the economy seems to be a little depressed. With the relocation of large shopping malls for economic enterprises, only a few markets and dense residential areas remain in the city center, and the bridge antique market is located in this kind of place.
The latitude and longitude coordinates of the other half of the so-called pen shown on the map are in this market.
Even Li Wen was a little strange, that pen he found in a barren mountain in the suburbs, it made people break out in a cold sweat when digging, originally thought that this time it would be in a terrifying wilderness, but I didn't expect it to be such a lively place.
The whole market is only four streets, it is not yet ten o'clock and it is already crowded and very lively, most of them are some shops and stalls that have been abducted and abducted.
"Dude, take a look, the porcelain of the Song Dynasty is absolutely real, only buy 250."
"The best jade pendant has been professionally old, and now it is wholesale, you can take it out and sell it."
"Shhh, be quiet, this buddy, I see that you are also a person on the road, this was just dug up yesterday, and now it is strictly investigated, I will give you a discount, take a look?"
Ignoring the last vendor selling crockpots, Li Wen kept walking forward with his mobile phone, going back and forth several times to locate it, and finally stopped in front of several shops in the depths of the market.
"The latitude and longitude range of the mobile phone is only 10 meters."
There are only three or four shops nearby, and based on the experience of the last time I dug for pen, the other half of this should be more obvious, or at least extraordinarily different.
"Is it in these goods?"
For half an hour, I looked through the things in several shops, and in the end I didn't find anything unusual.
"What doesn't look like an antique in this antique city? Is his X still all fake? ”
It was the owner of one of the shops, holding a cigarette in his mouth, leaning on a wooden platform at the door, squinting at Li Wen.
"Dude, want to buy the real thing?"
"Come in and talk, I have last night here..."
Before this person finished speaking, Li Wen had already turned his head, but the next moment, Li Wen was shocked and turned his head again. The boss's eyes lit up instantly.
didn't look at him at all, but Li Wen's eyes stared straight at the wooden platform that this person was leaning on, this thing was full of dust, and there were some sparse temporary supplies hanging on it, but there were obvious traces of fire on this thing.
"Boss, do you sell this wooden platform?"
The boss who would be wrong looked a little embarrassed, and instantly smiled again. "This thing? This is the treasure of my town store... Don't look at it all dust... ”
"Hey, buddy, how are you going to get out?"
"You wait."
finally persuaded Li Wen to return to the store, looking at Li Wen's impatience on his face, this person no longer had a sports car in his mouth, and gritted his teeth.
"A hundred, you take it."
"Fifty."
"Okay, fifty is fifty. I also found this thing in old goods, and I originally wanted to use it to make root carving, but it has been burned by fire, and it is useless at all. It's just a shelf to hang something at this door. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he put out the smoke and pestle on the dusty wood, apparently for a long time.
Carrying this old carved wooden platform out of the market, looking at the traces of fire on it all the way, Li Wen was even more sure in his heart. The other half of the pen refers to the wooden table.
Moving this thing back to the office, even Li Wen was tired and panting. He began to study the strange wood, apparently the root part of the tree, which, though old, had a natural pattern, and the marks of the fire were like hideous wounds, but they seemed to have been fused together.
The phone popped up with a message.
"The company's internal pen has been found."
"The new function of the signature pen is opened, the name of the function, the wooden pen fairy."
Pen fairy? All kinds of evil scenes instantly appeared in Li Wen's mind. Who doesn't know the horror of the pen fairy? It is said that there are some supernatural pens that often hide resentment inside. If someone asks a question at the pen at midnight, it can attract the pen fairy, and naturally, the process is very scary.
"Could it be that there is a pen fairy hidden in this pen?"
Swallowing his saliva, Li Wen took out the pen in his pocket, and after fumbling and reasoning for a while, he placed the thing on the dust table in the strange wood.
In the closed office, there seemed to be a cold wind blowing.
With a bang, the door was slammed open,
"Director, aren't you out on business?"
Li Wensheng slammed his chest, looking at Chen Su, who came back from shopping for things, Li Wensheng choked.
"Next time you come in, can you knock on the door first?"
Li Wen's expression made her inexplicable, but Li Wen was a leader again. Chen Su muttered in a low voice, and saw the things in the office at a glance.
"Director, what kind of wood is this..." After finishing speaking, Li Wen had already closed the door.
But the moment he turned his head after closing the door, the whole person froze.
The pen on the wooden table had already turned automatically. There seemed to be a mist in his eyes, and as the pen turned quietly, the wooden table seemed to change.
When he saw it clearly again, Li Wen couldn't believe it.
It's an old man.
No, it should be an old man like a wood carving, even if he has ghost pupils, he can only see the hazy appearance of this old man. The old man was motionless, his skin like tree bark.
There is only the upper body, and the lower body is the wooden platform.
If you don't look closely, you think it's sitting, but in fact, half of its body grows on this carved wood. The old man looked like a wooden sculpture, and the strangest thing was that the eyes, which were only the whites of the eyes.
After observing for a while, Li Wen was not so afraid.
"This thing can't move, and although it has a look, it really looks like it's just a sculpture."
He cleared his throat,
"Wood Pen Fairy?"
The pen on the dust was still turning, and the old man's wood carving was still still, and nothing happened.
"I want to ask, how to remove the disintegration of yin?"
"This company, how can we get it to pay salaries?"
"Will it disintegrate to a certain extent that I'm really going to die?"
。。。。
Regarding this immortal, Li Wen also knows some taboos, and there are some things that are too weird that you must not ask directly. After asking several questions in a row, the wood carving did not respond, it seemed to be the noise of the pen turning, and it was like his own auditory hallucination, and a hoarse voice sounded in Li Wen's ears.
"It's for...
Li Wen's heart trembled, there was absolutely no sound in the office, it sounded directly in his ears, and in the end, he finally understood.
"It's for...
"Water...
Picked up half a bottle of mineral water on the table and poured it on the old wood, the wooden eyes with only eye sockets seemed to have regained some vitality, but there was no movement in this thing when asked again.
In the end, Li Wen was completely helpless, and before he gritted his teeth and picked up the pen again, his outstretched hand stopped.
"I would like to ask if the next business of the four-way bus will be... There will be a danger to life. Li Wen's voice was dry, looking at the still still wooden carving, the loss in his eyes flashed, and finally turned around and left the office.
But just as he was out the door, a hoarse voice came to his ears.
"Yes."
"The car, no... Don't sit at the terminal... ”
Even though the pen has been taken away, the figure of the old man in his eyes is still there, like an unmoving wooden sculpture in the office, sitting quietly on the side of the office. Having asked so many questions, this was the only question that the wooden pen fairy answered.
Li Wen at the door was stunned, stood for a long time, and finally pinched the flyer in his pocket, walked out of the company, remembered something, and came back to explain to Chen Su.
"The root carving in my office, no, bonsai. Remember to water it when you have time. ”
