After separating from Chen Yuntian, Panda and I returned to the apartment.
Lao Jiang had already fallen asleep, but when he heard the movement of the two of us, he climbed up in his pajamas again.
"The money is back?" For the first time, this guy has started to care about our progress.
The panda and I smiled bitterly, and I said, "Not only did I not make any money, but I also lost Wang Tengyun." โ
Jiang Ren frowned: "What's the matter?" โ
"No way, Su Zhe and Zhao Tiezhu gave me an idea, let me try to catch Shen Yingying."
"The female ghost in red, Shen Yingying?!" Lao Jiang's sleepy eyes instantly glared at the boss, it seems that this guy is scared by me.
I nodded, "Of course it's her." โ
Lao Jiang sat on the sofa with a butt: "Your chicken blood cup is also broken now, Wang Tengyun is gone, there is a painless bronzing gourd, plus a golden compass and scarlet cloak that has no combat effectiveness, can you fight Shen Yingying?" โ
I looked at the panda, and the panda shook his head slightly, and I could see that he didn't have any hope for me.
Lao Jiang frowned and said, "Yang Ye, I think if you have to surrender Shen Yingying, it's not impossible, but you at least have to replenish the stock and purchase a few magic weapons, right?" โ
I pondered for a while, and it seemed that this was really the truth, so I asked: "Lao Jiang, you have been messing around in Suzhou City for so long, can you introduce me to a few shops with fair prices and acceptable quality of magic weapons?" โ
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ren spread his hands: "As far as I know, the market in the south is really not as good as the north, if you want to talk about the shop, the big shopkeeper is of good quality and cheap, no one can compare!" โ
This fact is not only said by Lao Jiang, but also by Mr. Wei before.
When it comes to the market of metaphysical equipment, the south and the north are very different. The situation in the south is like this, a baby that is not very valuable can be fried, and a baby that is already very valuable can be fried at a sky-high price.
Relatively speaking, the situation in the north is much milder, and the big shopkeeper is indeed greedy for money, and he cares about everything, and often relies on money in the end. But the big shopkeeper has an advantage, that is, the price is reasonable and the price is cheap.
In addition, the notebook that the big shopkeeper gave me, the content on it really benefited me immensely, with this notebook, I even had the reality of master and apprentice with the big shopkeeper, quite a bit of his inheritance. Thinking about it this way, I have an inseparable feeling for him.
"Old Jiang, do you mean that we will go back to Beijing again?" The panda's face changed slightly, and he asked tentatively.
Panda and I got into trouble with Shen Tianjun and Wang Jianquan in Beijing before, and they were driven out of Beijing, Xu Han's case should always be unsolved now, but Panda and I at least cleared the suspicion.
Back to Beijing? Looking for a big shopkeeper to buy again?
This seems to be a good idea, at least more reliable than the bad idea of subduing Shen Yingying.
I looked at the panda, and the panda simply asked me directly: "Yang Ye, are you also going back to Beijing?" โ
I smiled, "It seems like a good idea to go back and visit the treasurer." Besides, we have long said that we will go back one day, and this time we should explore the way in advance. โ
Panda finally nodded at my suggestion, and silently went to his room to buy tomorrow's ticket.
Jiang Ren was entangled in official business, so naturally he couldn't go back with us, and Panda and I could only travel to Beijing in pairs this time.
With the high-speed rail, everything has become much easier, and we were still planning this trip in the early hours of yesterday morning, but the next evening, Panda and I had already arrived in this historic city.
Beijing, or Sijiu City, stands in the north, and the moment I got off the bus with the panda, I felt the dry and refreshing spring breeze blowing in the north, and it was indescribably relaxed.
The two of us have worked hard in this city for many years, and we have a very deep relationship with it, and we even have an inexplicable sense of belonging when we come back this time.
Panda changed to a Beijing number, and then hurriedly called the big shopkeeper.
After all, the big shopkeeper is a busy man in the capital, and it is necessary to make an appointment in advance to meet him. Panda and I went to the South Third Ring Road to find a dilapidated guest house to settle in, because Xu Biao's matter we were in urgent need of money, plus these days the ghost gambler has lost a fortune, so the money is really tight, and the guest house of 150 yuan a night was cut down by 100 yuan.
The shopkeeper was surprised to learn that Panda and I were back, and told us that he would have time tonight.
Panda and I hurried over, carrying the last of our savings, not very much, but at least enough to buy one or two pieces of equipment that would work.
In addition, I also specially brought the authentic West Lake Longjing, which is a little caution for the big shopkeeper.
It was very warm to meet old friends, and I found that I was the most emotional person in the room.
Seeing the old and shriveled face of the big shopkeeper again, I was a little excited. On the contrary, the big shopkeeper and the panda were not shocked, and there was nothing too moving on the surface.
However, from the slight tremor of the shopkeeper's voice, I could tell that he was secretly as excited as I was.
After meeting, the big shopkeeper accepted the "bribe" I sent with a smile, and the old guy smiled and asked us if our life in the south was going well, and we didn't see any interesting customs along the way.
Panda and I briefly talked about what we had seen and heard in the south, and then went straight to the topic, but after the big shopkeeper learned that we were going north this time to purchase magic weapons, his face changed slightly, and the topic was pressed.
The atmosphere of the banquet was harmonious and joyful one second, but the next second it became serious and embarrassing, and the kind expression on the face of the big shopkeeper disappeared in an instant, replaced by an indescribable gloom.
He looked up at me and asked in a somewhat stern tone, "Xiao Yang, you didn't tear your ass off in that notebook I gave you, did you?" โ
I don't know why the big shopkeeper suddenly said this, I looked at the big shopkeeper's thin and serious face in shock, and asked: "Of course not, I have time to study this notebook carefully, and I have benefited a lot, how can I not take it seriously?" โ
The big shopkeeper sneered twice, and didn't rush to answer me, but picked up the teacup and kept fiddling with a few tea leaves floating on it.
The panda and I looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. A businessman like the big shopkeeper, smiling to the world, making money with kindness, will never turn his face and deny people at every turn, not to mention that we are still old customers who come all the way to do business with him with gifts. Could it be that we have some taboo topic that angered him?
Now the big shopkeeper is sitting on the chair, not moving like a mountain, and the expression on his face is by no means pleasant, but if he is angry, it is completely unprovoked and ignorant.
This stumped me and Panda, and I didn't know which one the big shopkeeper was singing this song about.
The embarrassing atmosphere lasted for a long time, and the big shopkeeper finally moved his old eyes that had been eroded by the years, and asked me: "This trip to the south, did you encounter a crisis of life and death?" โ
Without thinking, I nodded and said, "I've encountered it, and more than once." โ
The big shopkeeper's eyebrows moved again, with a look of surprise on his face, and asked, "You didn't lie to me?" โ
I looked at the big shopkeeper and said solemnly, "Of course not." โ
The big shopkeeper put down the tea set in his hand, nodded slightly, looked up at me first, and then slowly shook his head and said, "You two go, I have nothing to sell to you here." โ
Panda and I were shocked, and Panda pleaded in a low voice, "Big shopkeeper, have our brothers offended you?" If you do something wrong or say something bad, just beat and scold us, and we will pay you compensation! โ
I was also puzzled, and my mind was full of doubts.
Unexpectedly, the big shopkeeper suddenly smiled, waved his hand and said: "You think too much, you haven't offended me, but I have already helped you with everything I can do, and the rest depends on you." Xiao Yang, the things in that notebook are far stronger than thousands of magic weapons, and when you realize it yourself, you will know that what I said is true. Don't be in a hurry to come to see me again in the future, when the chicken blood cup, bronzing gourd, and scarlet cloak have become decorations, it is not too late for you to come to me again, and I am not in a hurry to drink the West Lake Longjing you brought, and when you become the climate, when the time comes, bring me a cage of the most tender shoots of the West Lake leading tea garden before the Qingming Festival. โ
Panda and I were even more confused, and before we could ask again, the big shopkeeper had already stretched out his hand to greet the guest: "Let's go, don't be too anxious, save me a lot of hard work." โ
Panda and I were helpless, we stopped and stopped, and we were not in a hurry to get out of the shopkeeper's shop.
When he came back this time, the big shopkeeper seemed to have completely changed his sex, not only was he not greedy for money, but he also became moody, and this change was really a bit weird.
The panda and I stopped step by step, and finally before we could completely leave, we heard the big shopkeeper talking to himself alone in the room.
I only heard this old guy say quietly: "Strange, I have watched it three times, this kid should be such a fate, why has he traveled north and south and gone through hardships, but he has not yet opened the blade?" โฆโฆ Could it be that I lost my eyes this time? โ
