Chapter 146: The Old Man Who Sold Stones

On the second floor, there are many stalls, and there are many people guarding the stalls, but there are only three or three customers.

There are more people selling things than buying things, and it is already a strange place to trade, and among the people who buy things, there are still some who only look at it and don't buy it.

Looking at the strange items placed on the stalls one after another, Li Yuchen and Lin Yan both felt restrained, not as good as bitter, when they encountered novel items, they wanted to see them, and they did not have the slightest nervousness due to the environment.

"Old man, this stone is so beautiful!" said with a smile to an old man with a light smile, Ku'er pointed to a piece of jade lying on the ground.

The jade has the size and shape of an egg, the whole body is green, only green, the surface appears smooth, with delicate softness, there is no trace of abnormal lines, and there is no slightest variegation except for the green.

Simple, beautiful.

As soon as he saw this piece of jade, Ku'er's wandering mind had a home.

"It's pretty good. With a smile on Cangsang's face, the old man replied in a somewhat long voice.

The old man was very old, with the traces of time on his face, with a faint smile, wearing a gray robe, and his figure was a little thin.

Ku'er nodded, but there was no superfluous movement, just staring at it from a distance, and her eyes seemed to be bright and flashing with curiosity and doubt.

"How's that, like it or not?" asked the old man with a smile after a moment of silence.

Hearing this, Ku'er raised his head, stared at the old man, and nodded lightly in his reverie.

"Do you really like it?"

"Hmm. ”

"If you like it, take it. The old man whispered, and the jade flew up automatically, hanging in front of Ku'er, and she only needed to stretch out her hand a little to get it.

The curiosity and doubt in Ku'er's eyes were even stronger, but he didn't take over, and he didn't see that he had such a plan at all, so he just stared at the old man silently, his wide eyes narrowed slightly.

"How much?" asked Li Yuchen.

The old man shook his head, smiled and said, "No money." ”

Listening, Li Yuchen's brows furrowed, and he unconsciously thought of the meaning beyond the words, and asked, "Then what do you want to use?"

"You're thinking too much. ”

"But there's no such thing as a free lunch. ”

"But you're still thinking too much, really thinking too much. The old man smiled slightly, "If you don't need money, then you don't need money, it's for her." ”

The words are very slow and relatively light, as if he is saying the most ordinary and ordinary words, above the old face, the expression has not changed in the slightest, and a pair of eyes are staring at Li Yuchen who is talking to him, like an ancient well without waves.

Li Yuchen was still puzzled, but he was speechless, with thoughts in his heart, and he always felt that there was something unspeakably strange and became silent.

"Thank you, old man. Ku'er took the jade floating in front of him, smiled at the old man, and smiled sweetly.

"Huh. The old man stared at Ku'er and smiled.

Just a simple smile, not a response, and that, that's his response.

"I'm Ku'er, bitter is not bitter, what's the name of the old man?" After caressing the jade, silky and greasy, Ku'er raised his head and asked with a smile.

"Huh. The old man smiled lightly, his calm eyes staring at the bitter child, and he did not intend to answer.

Smiling, silent.

"He doesn't have a name. The old man on the stall next to him said, "Since he set up a stall here for decades, he has never said his name, and no one knows his name." ”

Ku'er stared at the old man who gave her the jade, although she didn't speak, the meaning of inquiry in her eyes was obvious.

The old man smiled, but he was silent, but he nodded, and between his breaths, he remembered that he really couldn't remember his name, and a faint doubt appeared in his calm eyes.

"Then call me grandpa. Ku'er smiled.

"Good. The old man smiled softly.

"Grandpa, why did you give this piece of jade to Ku'er?" Before Ku'er spoke, Li Yuchen spoke, very puzzled, and suddenly paused, with a respectful look on his face, "My name is Li Yuchen." ”

"I can't tell, perhaps, this is called fate. It was the old man next to him who spoke.

"Why?" Li Yuchen asked, feeling that it was inappropriate again, and once again clenched his fists, "I don't know the name of my senior?"

"That's what he said, how many times I've said it, and I've heard it a few times, and then I've memorized it. The old man smiled, "As for me, it should be called Lu Peng." "For some reason, I'm a little unsure.

Listening to Lu Peng's words, the old man patted his head, sighed and said, "Yes, I can't say it clearly, I can't say it clearly, maybe, it can only be because of fate." ”

"Well, because of fate. Ku'er squinted and smiled, unwilling to stop here.

"Yes, that's fate. Lu Peng said.

"Yes, fate. The old man smiled, closed his eyes lightly, and sighed again, "Fate." ”

Waiting for the old man to open his eyes, Ku'er raised the jade in his hand and asked, "Grandpa, what is this stone?"

She only knew that this piece of jade was very simple and beautiful, and a trace of love rose from her heart, but she didn't know why she felt like this, and she didn't think about it deliberately, she just wanted to figure out what this jade was.

There are not too many reasons, but I simply want to know, I want to know, and I asked.

The old man shook his head, with a little sigh and helplessness in his eyes, and before he could speak, Lu Peng took over the words.

He didn't know either, and if he asked, it was in vain. Lu Peng said, shaking his head lightly as he spoke, "In this second floor, only all the things he sells have no price, and when he sells things, there are three different situations. ”

"One is what you encounter, which does not charge a penny, and the other is to sell, which is to let the buyer bid for himself, no matter how much he gives, even if it is a copper coin. ”

"There is also a situation where he does not sell things, no matter how much money he pays, he will not sell them. ”

"As for who to sell to and who not to sell, no one knows, not only we don't know, but even if you ask him, he doesn't know. ”

The same voice with doubts came from Lu Peng, but it was already a habit of being a little numb, in the eyes of many people, this old man who sold jade was such a strange person.

Li Yuchen was stunned for a moment, and he was even more unaccustomed to thinking more, staring at the old man in front of him with strange eyes.

Lin Yan didn't speak, she also stared at the good people, her eyes were full of doubts, but most of them were curious.

Several stall setters were staring at this side, their eyes were also full of doubts and curiosity, they all gathered here because of this auction, and they didn't know the situation.

Among the guests, there were also many people's attention to this side, and they approached with their figures, among them, Gu Cui came with a handsome man, but not because of the old man, nor because of the transaction, but because Li Yuchen and the three of them were here.

Ku'er smiled, squinted slightly, looked at the old man, and said, "But the old man should know." ”

didn't listen to Lu Peng's words, she decided that the old man knew what jade was, so she said so, and there was no need to deliberately hide anything.

The old man shook his head, then nodded after shaking his head, and said, "It seems that he should know." There was uncertainty in his words, and he paused, "Let me think about it, I should be able to remember." ”

After speaking, he closed his eyes and thought.
