To the surprise of the three of them, the old man did not blink, and readily agreed: "Okay, it's done." ”

Zhu Beichen's mood fell to the bottom in an instant, and the price of a hammer was also raised by himself, but the old man agreed too happily, and he was stunned to make himself feel at a loss.

And this is the shrewdness of the businessman, he can actually make it difficult first, then grind it slowly, and finally agree.

But the old man had already seen that the three of them had no social experience, so he didn't procrastinate, and directly agreed.

"It's over, it's really a loss, and I'm a loser." Zhu Beichen sneered, blaming himself for being stupid.

The flow of people outside is getting more and more gathered, and it stands to reason that the matter is settled, there is nothing to see, and they should disperse, but the current situation is even more abnormal.

The old man wrapped the jade pendant in silk and said slowly: "Three distinguished guests, the small shop is doing a small business in the ancient town, and now there is not so much cash, so I can only pay 500,000 yuan in cash to you, and the rest of the money can be transferred?" ”

Zhu Beichen hesitated, now there are so many people outside, and he is really afraid of being unsafe with hundreds of thousands of cash in his hands. But after thinking about it, I was not so worried about having July, so I nodded and agreed.

The young man walked to the account room on the second floor, while the old man took out a computer from under the counter.

The appearance of modern equipment in front of the quaint pawn counter was quite out of place, and the old man asked, "You can give me the bank card number, and I will be able to transfer the money to your account in a while." ”

July and Ning Yun looked at each other, they all came out of the closed mountain, where could there be such a modern thing. So Zhu Beichen had no choice but to take out the UnionPay card he had run at school and hand it over, but he always felt embarrassed, the pawn's customer was July, but he collected the money and put it into his card.

After a while, the young man carried a box full of cash and placed it in front of the counter, and said with great respect: "Three distinguished guests, the money has been prepared for you, do you need to count it?" ”

Ning Yunhu took the box suspiciously, glanced at the young man of the power with disgust, opened the box and saw that bundles of hundred-yuan denomination cash were stacked on top of each other, and then nodded with satisfaction.

This will be done, and the transfer procedure on the old man's side has also been completed, and Zhu Beichen stared at the picture of the successful payment, expressing his gratitude.

"Three distinguished guests, now that we have paid for the goods, there are still treasures to be taken in the future, but just bring them to the small shop."

As he spoke, the old man handed over the pawn ticket, which was written with information such as the name of the pawn, the amount of the pawn, and the date and time. After that, he hurriedly put away the mutton fat and white jade, as if he was afraid that the three of them would regret it.

"Let's go, let's find a hotel to stay in first, and the next day there will be a train out of town." Ning Yun said happily with the box.

July said, "Beichen, where are we going tomorrow?" ”

Zhu Beichen said: "I'm afraid the school will already be on vacation, and it's been half a year since I came out, so I plan to go home first." ”

The three of them spoke, and walked out of the honest pawnshop with one foot on the high doorrail.

Zhu Beichen looked back at the hanging shop sign, and always faintly felt that this store was unspeakably weird.

The crowd of people gradually dispersed, all pointing at the three of July, muttering words in a low voice.

Ning Yun was immediately unhappy, and spat spittle: "What to see, what to see." ”

Night has fallen.

The bloated waiter in the hostel was wrapped in a blanket and leaned against the base of the inner wall of the counter, with earplugs stuffed in his ear holes, listening to music and napping leisurely, not noticing anyone in the store.

Ning Yun knocked on the counter with his hand fiercely, and asked in a soft female voice, "Auntie." We want accommodation! ”

Zhu Beichen was stunned for a moment when he heard what he said, the waiter was only a few yards taller than ordinary people at most, and his mental head clearly showed that she was a girl in her twenties, and Ning Yunrao was able to manage people and call her aunt.

The bloated waiter took off his headphones impatiently, but fortunately he didn't hear the salutation, and asked in a thick voice: "Our rooms are all the same, the bathrooms are shared, how many do you want to open." ”

Zhu Beichen originally wanted to take over and say three rooms, but Ning Yunling said sharply: "Then open two." ”

"The deposit is four hundred, and the room price is one hundred a day for the whole day, so pay the money first." The waiter introduced it neatly.

Ning Yun didn't care too much, boldly took out a few brand-new tickets from the box and handed them over, and took the key that the waiter threw on the table.

said: "Aunt girl." This is the key to your room, rest early, I'll call you tomorrow morning. ”

Dare to sleep with July tonight, he faintly looked forward to it, but was a little embarrassed, took Ning Yun's key with a red face, and walked to the room marked by the key number with Qiyue in his hand.

The whole room is about 15 square meters, and a bed of about 1.5 meters stands horizontally in the center, occupying almost half of the room. The sheets were covered with a thick layer of dust, and the original color of the sheets could be roughly distinguished, and it was such a room that could be embarrassed to open up for a hundred and one nights, and Zhu Beichen felt that he had been slaughtered for the first time.

"How long will it take for no one to live in it to grow such a thick ash!" Zhu Beichen said in surprise.

July's expression didn't look annoyed, and he lifted the sheets lightly, still remembering the dust.

"You can still live after tidying up, there are a lot of inconvenient places outside, and you can't be demanding everywhere."

The words were reasonable, and the decent words that came out of July's mouth always made Zhu Beichen unable to refute.

After a little while, July had already cleaned up the small room, and Zhu Beichen had been standing outside the house, looking at this scene coldly, infected by July's intimate warmth.

After cleaning up, the two sat at the head of the bed, Zhu Beichen thought more about what was wrong during the day, and asked, "July, don't you think that pawnshop is a little weird?" ”

July gently pulled the hair draped over her shoulders, her beautiful eyes blinked, and said: "I can't say clearly, I think the onlookers outside look at us very wrongly, but for a while I can't remember what is wrong." ”

At one o'clock in the morning, on the narrow mattress, Zhu Beichen's body was almost next to the wall, while Qiyue was obediently holding his neck with his arms outstretched, most of his head was pressed against his chest, and he breathed lightly evenly.

For a few hours, Zhu Beichen spent almost all the time with his eyes open, and the more he thought about the events of the day, the more wrong he became, and ominous thoughts surfaced in his mind.

At one or two o'clock, Zhu Beichen's heart shook violently, and his heartbeat was extremely irregular, jumping twice, gradually accelerating.
