Chapter 8 Antique Market

There was a small wooden pavilion under the cherry blossoms, and a thin and handsome young man was lying peacefully asleep on a chair. A border collie was next to him licking the saliva that was running down his cheek. His original wheat-colored skin was slightly red because of the dog's licking ~ licking.

At this time, before the two of them could walk in, the border collie quickly ran to Bai Xue Sakura's follow. shouted happily, and the tail raised all the way around her, a long-lost reunion.

"Alright, Snowball, I'm here to pick you up!" Shirayuki stroked its head gently.

"Who's that?" Tian Youtian stepped forward and saw the young man who was still asleep, but now he turned over and continued to sleep. At this time, the shepherd Snowball stepped forward to lick ~ his chin again, and the two couldn't help laughing when they saw this funny scene.

At this time, an amiable old woman came out of the cabin and saw Bai Xue Sakura and smiled enthusiastically.

"Sakura girl, you're here, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, mother-in-law, I did a lot today, come in! It's still hot! ”

After saying that, he realized that he had missed something, turned around and walked to the young man, leaned over and patted him, and shouted in a kind tone: "Xuan'er, get up!" It's time for breakfast! ”

At this time, the boy moved, and touched his mouth full of saliva. I opened my eyes. What caught my eye was a slimy dog tongue that suddenly jumped up with a scream, and its mouth kept babbling.

Bai Xue Sakura and Tian Youtian began to laugh.

"Two dead girls, what's so funny!" The young man seemed to be about to explode, and his handsome face was full of anger.

"Qi Chengxuan?" At this time, Bai Xueying only reacted, but she didn't expect that it was him who was sleeping on the rocking chair, and she was a little surprised.

"He is the crowd anchor Daystar with more than 10,000 fans?" Tian Youtian was also curious, but at this moment, he felt unbelievable.

"Why are you everywhere?" Qi Chengxuan saw that it was Bai Xue Ying and said angrily.

"This is your idol, Sakura, your vision is too low!" Tian Youtian saw the young man with the head of the chicken nest and his face stained, and he couldn't see where there was any appreciation value.

"Don't bother to pay attention to you!" Qi Chengxuan walked back to the cabin quickly, he still cared about his perfect image.

"Who do you call nymphomaniacs? I really thought I was very handsome..."Tian Youtian was just about to have a seizure when she was stopped by Bai Xueying and motioned for her Granny Xu to be beside her. The two stopped talking and walked in with Granny Xu.

Facing a table of hot breakfast, Tian Youtian kept swallowing. There are soy milk fritters, fried dumplings and spicy soup, clear porridge and meat cakes, and bread and milk.

"Eat." Granny Xu smiled and handed the fritters to the two girls.

"Thank you. Thank. Before Xie finished speaking, he was swallowed into his stomach by Tian Youtian.

"Eat slowly, kid." Granny Xu saw the cute side of the younger generation, and her smile became kinder.

Qi Chengxuan had finished washing up and came to the dining table. Granny Xu took three pairs of dishes and chopsticks and handed them to them, and during the banquet, everyone was speechless. Granny Xu asked Bai Xueying, who was blowing porridge with a small spoon, first: "Cherry girl, why did your master Liu Mingyin come back?"

At the mention of Liu Mingyin, Qi Chengxuan looked up at Granny Xu, and continued to drink his milk silently.

Bai Xueying put down the spoon in her hand and replied, "Tomorrow, tomorrow they will be back"

"Oh, that's right, my mother-in-law brewed a batch of cherry blossom wine a few years ago, and now it can be opened as well. I was thinking about Kaichun and thinking about sending your master over, but he has been working on cases outside. I'm also old, and my legs and feet are not good, it just so happens that your master will definitely set up a table when he comes back tomorrow, and I will ask Xuan'er to help me send it to your house tomorrow. Say good to him for me. Granny Xu got up and put some mustard in Bai Xueying's porridge.

"Xuan'er has also transferred to Sioux City Academy, and you will be classmates by then" Granny Xu patted Qi Chengxuan's shoulder and motioned for him to greet Bai Xueying. Qi Chengxuan didn't take it to heart, and lowered his head to drink his milk.

"Wow, there is cherry blossom wine, Sakura-chan, the day after tomorrow, you and Master Liu will celebrate your birthday together, and now it's complete." Tian Youtian happily celebrated his birthday.

"My mother-in-law is getting older, so I'll let Xuan go to celebrate my birthday for me, okay." Granny Xu observed Qi Chengxuan's expression as she spoke.

"Mother-in-law, you're welcome!" Bai Xueying replied embarrassedly and glanced up at Qi Chengxuan, who was silent.

After breakfast, Xue Ying and Tian Youtian took some dog food and ham sausage for Xueqiu, who was already hungry, in the yard.

Granny Xu secretly pulled Qi Chengxuan into her room, took out a worn-out handkerchief from the cabinet, and pulled out a crumpled hundred-yuan bill. Qi Chengxuan politely refused. Granny Xu still stuffed the money into his pocket and whispered: "Although Liu Mingyin is a great detective, he has a very strange temperament and is a man of few words, and ordinary people will not pay attention to it. Big money, mother-in-law doesn't have it here, you can take it to the street and prepare a birthday gift for the cherry girl first. ”

"Why do you buy her a gift, I don't know her well?" Qi Chengxuan was puzzled, feeling that he had lost his dignified face.

"You stunned boy, my mother-in-law can see that the cherry girl is interesting to you, she is Liu Mingyin's favorite apprentice, the cherry girl is a good girl, don't hurt the harmony. Otherwise, my wife will go with the wine herself, and people may not give face. Poked him in the head.

"Just her?!" Qi Chengxuan couldn't help frowning, he couldn't believe that the little little guy at the door was really the apprentice of the famous detective Liu Mingyin.

"She's a poor child, too!" Granny Xu slowly explained the reason. It turned out that the white snow cherry was picked up on the day of Liu Mingyin's birthday. Bai Xueying didn't remember her childhood memories, so Liu Mingyin pressed her under Bai Yong's name. I spent my birthday with myself.

"As for the money, I have it myself, my mother-in-law knows the weight, don't worry!" Although I am reluctant, I really have something to ask for others, and I can really bite the bullet.

Granny Xu saw that she had persuaded Qi Chengxuan, and she was also very relieved to draw two hundred-yuan bills and stuff them into Qi Chengxuan's pocket, and turned around and walked out of the room.

"Cherry girl, come over for a moment" Granny Xu motioned for Bai Xue Ying to come over, smiling kindly.

"You see school is about to start, my family Xuan'er plans to live in school, and my mother-in-law doesn't have any clothes and quilts here, you can take him to the street to go shopping, help buy some daily necessities and come back." Granny Xu pulled Qi Chengxuan out of the room little by little.

Bai Xue Ying felt a little surprised, and looked up at Qi Chengxuan at the door. Today's weather is not very good, and it has been snowing, why not another day, since Granny Xu spoke, she was embarrassed to refuse.

Although he has always longed for the opportunity to be alone with Qi Chengxuan, he doesn't want to see Qi Chengxuan look like him. I can't catch up with him, I like him just by myself, I never thought I could be with him, as long as I could keep watching him silently.

"Okay, Granny Xu, I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time, I'll also go buy some meat and come back and make it together." Tian Youtian happily agreed for Bai Xueying.

Granny Xu obviously hoped that Qi Chengxuan could be alone with Bai Xueying, so she hurriedly said: "Mother-in-law bought meat at Xitou Supermarket early in the morning, you and mother-in-law go to the Houshan vegetable cellar to get some cabbage, let's make dumplings together." ”

"Good! All right! There is a waterhole in the back mountain, and there are fish raised by Granny Xu, so you must go down and catch one yourself! As soon as Tian Youtian heard the vegetable cellar, he hurriedly grabbed Granny Xu and left. Then he suddenly said to Bai Xue Ying and Qi Chengxuan, who hadn't reacted yet, with bad intentions: "Hmph! Don't be a light bulb for both of you! You two have fun. ”

Chapter 5 Antique Market

Bai Xue Ying and Qi Chengxuan looked at each other on the ground, speechless for a long time.

Qi Chengxuan found an umbrella in the cabin and opened it to see if it could be used. I took the white snow cherry blossoms and walked to the Sakura Forest bus stop. Along the way, the two walked relatively slowly because they shared an umbrella. Although Bai Xue Ying was glad that the person she was thinking about day and night was right in front of her, she still complained in her heart when she thought of his death yesterday.

"Why didn't you save me yesterday?" Bai Xue Ying suddenly stopped and asked in a low voice.

"Do I know you well?" Qi Chengxuan pointed back and forth at himself and Bai Xueying with one hand, looking innocent.

"You!" Bai Xueying turned sideways, not wanting to see this ruthless person again. I naively thought that after being surrounded and intercepted by someone in Shanghai, their relationship was at least better than that of strangers.

"I think you like masochism!" Qi Chengxuan looked at Bai Xueying's bruised chin and added a poisonous sentence, Bai Xueying turned her head and glared at him fiercely, and the words with lasers in her eyes shot a big hole in his narcissistic face!

"Oops, no! Suddenly, Qi Chengxuan covered his eyes and fell into the snow, moaning in pain.

Bai Xueying was startled, and hurriedly checked Qi Chengxuan who had fallen in the snow and asked him what was wrong.

At this time, Qi Chengxuan grabbed Bai Xueying's hand and motioned for her to look into her eyes.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Bai Xue Ying was a little flustered and asked anxiously.

"Let's see if you're blinded by your dog's eyes!" Qi Chengxuan asked seriously.

"Get out!" Bai Xue Ying was angry, and kicked Qi Chengxuan's ass a few times with her foot, which was regarded as relieving the sullenness in her heart.

"Oh, you're really going to do it!" Qi Chengxuan screamed in pain.

Bai Xueying ignored her and continued to walk forward with an umbrella. Qi Chengxuan hurriedly got up from the snow and chased after him.

"Still angry?" Qi Chengxuan approached her and asked tentatively.

Qi Chengxuan rubbed his sore buttocks and explained; "I asked Li Xinze yesterday, and he said that it was Miyagi of the Japanese Holy Sakura Academy, who is usually very calm and cautious, rarely interacts with people and never makes enemies. Have you offended someone? People will pinch your neck. Qi Chengxuan pointed at Bai Xueying's chin, and then said, "He also called afterwards to ask, people won't do anything to you,"

"Then you didn't say it earlier, you were angry with me just now, and you scared me, you didn't know that I was sick!" Bai Xueying didn't expect Qi Chengxuan to still care a little about herself, and she felt a little happy in her heart.

"You are sick, I don't have any medicine," Qi Chengxuan exaggeratedly spread his hands.

"Boring!" Bai Xue Ying glanced at him, it seemed that Qi Chengxuan didn't hate himself as much as he had shown before, thinking about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't hide a smile.

"A question for you?" Qi Chengxuan asked as he walked, not caring at all about the snowflakes covered on his body.

Only then did Bai Xueying realize that she had been holding the umbrella by herself all along, and hurriedly handed the umbrella to Qi Chengxuan's hand. Gently patted the snow on Qi Chengxuan's body and hair with his hand. Bai Xue Sakura once again saw the boy she had a crush on at close range, his eyebrows and long eyelashes were covered with a layer of white frost and snow, and his lips looked particularly red and attractive because of the cold air. A white mist exhaled from his breath, a faint smell of milk.

He's kind of cute today. Bai Xue Ying was momentarily distracted, and her white little hands unconsciously slid onto Qi Chengxuan's lips. Qi Chengxuan felt a tremor in his heart, and an inexplicable affection rose in the hearts of the two of them.

"I'll do it myself." Qi Chengxuan felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Oh" Bai Xueying instantly blushed to the root of her ears, and she was at a loss and shook the snowflakes on her body, hating herself for being a nymphomaniac again.

"That, the pendant you asked me for in Shanghai, it's still in my house, I'll give it back to you another day." Bai Xue Sakura said incoherently.

"Hmm," Qi Chengxuan responded briefly.

"You, what did you just want to ask me?" Bai Xue Sakura wanted to quickly relieve the awkward atmosphere now.

"I, I want to ask you about Master?" Qi Chengxuan held up the umbrella, and the two continued to walk forward.

"You have something important to ask my master, right?" Bai Xue Ying asked sharply.

"How do you know?" Qi Chengxuan felt that the small thing in front of him should not be underestimated.

"Don't forget, I'm an apprentice of a detective, I don't know how to handle cases, and I'm still very good at observing words and feelings." Bai Xue Ying's face was proud.

"Let's hear it, I've already learned you once when I was in Shanghai." Qi Chengxuan touched his chin with one hand, and looked at the little little bit of spirit in front of him with a look of intent.

"First, because I often come to Granny Xu's place, but I've never heard him mention you. For example, today, she prepared a delicious breakfast over there, and you only ate bread and milk, which obviously means that you don't come here often, and Granny Xu doesn't know you very well. Or rather, you just came here as a kid. Or your family has a better relationship with Granny Xu. ”

"Second, although my master likes to drink, Granny Xu usually informs us to come and get wine. And this time, Granny Xu obviously came to you to find my master in the name of sending wine. ”

"Third, Granny Xu hopes that you and I will have a better relationship, otherwise we won't be allowed to go out to hang out in the heavy snow. Besides, you don't like being around me either. When Bai Xueying said the last sentence, her tone couldn't be lower.

"Oh, I can't see it, you little bit, you know a lot." Qi Chengxuan said with a smile.

"If you want to bribe my master, it's actually a very simple thing." Bai Xueying said in a very mysterious tone, and the two had already walked to the bus stop.

The long snow in the cherry blossom forest leaves a large and small footprint, which is very harmonious and interesting.

"You don't mean to say it's okay to please you, right?" Qi Chengxuan had a disdainful expression.

"Lazy to pay attention to you vulgar person." Bai Xueying can see his straight male cancer clearly, and he is poisonous and narcissistic.

"I'll take you somewhere." Bai Xue Sakura patted the snow dust on her body.

At this time, a bus full of guests drove by. Bai Xueying motioned for Qi Chengxuan to follow her up. Qi Chengxuan had an expression of eating shit. Said he had never taken a bus and didn't want to get up.

"They all ran away from home, and they still think they are still the second young master of Shanghai?" Bai Xueying pulled and reluctantly squeezed into the bus with the crowd.

On the bus, there were too many people. Qi Chengxuan and Bai Xueying were so squeezed that they couldn't move at all, this was the second intimate contact between the two after they separated from Shanghai. Qi Chengxuan grabbed the yellow handrail on the roof of the car with both hands, while Bai Xueying stood on his chest and could only grasp the clothes around Qi Chengxuan's waist. Bai Xueying's size is very small, and her height can only reach Qi Chengxuan's chin.

The two of them were speechless along the way, and they kept this posture for a few stops. One after another, people got out of the car. The two found a back seat and sat down. Qi Chengxuan obviously didn't like to take the bus, and the turbid air made him want to sick to his stomach. Bai Xueying took out a Nanfeng tangerine from her pocket at this time and handed it to Qi Chengxuan. Qi Chengxuan said thank you, and directly broke it and stuffed it into his mouth, and the haze dissipated a lot on his handsome face. About half an hour later, the two got off the bus in a relatively old area.

"Why did you bring me to the antique market?" Qi Chengxuan was a little puzzled.

"Let's go in first." Bai Xue Sakura put away her umbrella and walked ahead. The snow gradually stopped, but the sky was still gray.

Because of the snow, many antique shops are open, but there is no business. The usual antiques at the door are gone. The so-called antique market is a trading place for antiques and cultural relics. The antique market is the best witness of human civilization and the epitome of history.

"Your master also likes antiques?" Qi Chengxuan somewhat guessed the purpose of Bai Xue Ying's bringing him here.

"My master is an antique in addition to investigating cases and drinking, if you have something to ask him, you can pick an antique and give it to him." Bai Xue Ying explained.

"You're not mistaken, I'm handsome, it doesn't mean I can brush money." Qi Chengxuan looked poor haha.

"Ah, you're so good at pretending! The second young master of the Qi family. Bai Xue Ying sneered. People who don't know still think that the two teases are flirting.

"Although my Qi family has opened a few antique shops in Shanghai, I have now run away from home. . . ." Qi Chengxuan argued.

Bai Xueying stared at him with sharp eyes and said, "You dare to say that you have been an anchor in the past few years, live games, and singing, and the gifts that people have rewarded you are not money." ”

"Hey, so you've really been paying attention to me!" Qi Chengxuan grabbed a loophole and began to tremble.

"Although I watched your live broadcast, I never gave you a gift." Bai Xue Sakura explained with a red face.

Qi Chengxuan stared at her in disbelief.

"Do you think I'm one of those big brothers who have nothing to do, and I pay to listen to other people's live broadcasts and talk nonsense every day, so I'm not so boring." Bai Xue Ying had a smug look.

At this time, the two stopped at a retro antique store with red lacquer decoration, and looked up to see four big characters printed in their eyes.

"This is Hua Qiankun's grandfather's shop, he is my master's New Year's friend, he is a real god of counterfeiting." Bai Xue Ying lowered her voice and said mysteriously, the meaning was self-evident. The shopkeeper is a master of counterfeiting, which means that he knows how to distinguish authenticity, and in short, he must have good things here.

This is a jade antique shop with a relatively old age. The antique shop is very well lit, the overall layout is relatively sparse, and there are some antiques such as blue and white jars and jade ruyi on the cabinet shelves, so the antique shop is generally displayed in this way to give people the illusion that "rare things are expensive". Generally, the stores are all imitations of the Ming and Qing dynasties or modern times, just as a façade. Good things are usually taken out by the store until the connoisseur enters, or please go to the inner room to see them.

At this time, a foreigner dressed as a migrant worker in the store was talking to a goatee shopkeeper with gray hair and high spirits in Mandarin, who was not very fluent in Mandarin. Presumably that's a flower. When he saw Bai Xue Ying, their eyes hesitated for a moment and smiled: "The cherry girl is here, you sit first." ”

Bai Xue Ying and Qi Chengxuan were not polite, and sat down at a wood-carved antique table opposite the counter. The two of them sat down, each cut a cup of hot tea, blew hot air and drank it.

I saw that the man dressed as a migrant worker pushed the small package in his hand again and asked: "Boss, you have pity on us people from the countryside, this is what a fellow villager brought from his hometown, I hope to help him sell it at a good price, and wait to make up for the children's tuition." ”

The shopkeeper spent a lot of money to help himself, and explained helplessly: "I don't accept these gadgets of yours here." Not worth a few bucks. ”

"Boss, help, I've been there for several times, this is really a good thing, it can ward off evil spirits in our hometown." Migrant workers are a little crying and have no tears.

When Bai Xueying saw the migrant worker and thought of her father Bai Yong, she couldn't help but feel pity in her heart, and just wanted to step forward. At this time, Qi Chengxuan suddenly got up and walked over and asked politely, "This uncle, can you show me your baby?" ”

When the migrant workers heard this, they were overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the package and pushed it in front of Qi Chengxuan. The package is dozens of large and small pieces of white stone. Qi Chengxuan looked at it intently, took out one and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and then tossed it in the palm of his hand.

"Are you a Hakka?" Qi Chengxuan asked the migrant workers while looking at the things in his hand.

"Yes, yes, my hometown is from Jiangxi. Do you like this? The migrant worker asked tentatively.

"Okay." Qi Chengxuan replied politely, his expression not showing any joy.

"How do you sell this?" Qi Chengxuan put one in his hand back into the package. Bai Xueying was startled, and secretly stepped forward and pulled Qi Chengxuan's sleeve, but Qi Chengxuan did not respond to her.

As soon as they heard that someone was willing to buy it, the migrant worker was a little overjoyed and hurriedly said: "This is a small man in my hometown who sells fish in his hometown." Knowing that I was working in a big city, he asked someone to ask me to help him sell this black grass carp taken out of the fish head to earn some tuition for the children. But I'm a big boss, and I don't know how to sell? I scratched my head and smiled innocently.

"Jun Gu Zai, if you like it, you can watch it and give it." The migrant worker smiled embarrassedly.

"Is a thousand bucks okay?"

"Just these three." Before the migrant workers could react, Qi Chengxuan had already picked out three pieces from the package that looked to be relatively large in color and texture.

"Ah, you're not mistaken, only three for a thousand, and you can pick the rest?!" The migrant worker's mouth was wide open, and he looked at Qi Chengxuan with a questioning look.

Before Qi Chengxuan could react, he transferred a thousand yuan to the stunned migrant worker on WeChat. Hua Qiankun, who had been watching for a long time, nodded thoughtfully.

Wait for the migrant workers to happily sneak out of the store.
