The pawnshop is called "An Rong Dang", and in the downtown on both sides of the pawnshop, many pubs are lined up next to each other.

Qiu Shaohu sat quietly in one of the taverns, the atmosphere of the tavern was noisy, but the room was lined with tall green plants, and the bottom of the flower pot was paved with pebbles, and the flowers looked very bright.

Unlike everyone else, he didn't ask for wine, he just drank water.

Qiu Shaohu doesn't like any food that tastes, because the smell is masked, and someone may take the opportunity to poison it. However, in the eyes of others, his taste is extremely bland.

He was thinking back to what he had just seen. The moment the master entered the inn before, his exploration was instantly blocked, and he could no longer see any information inside.

An Rongdang looked like an ordinary pawnshop, but when Qiu Shaohu actually faced him, he felt like he was facing a deep black hole, engulfing all the breath.

The resting place will be based in such a downtown inn, there must be something unique. In such a well-defended place, perhaps the so-called "token" is among them.

The bigger question is, how can Qiu Shaohu enter it and find the token? He has been divining several times in succession, and the results he got were all "big murderers".

It seems that this is a matter of strategy.

"Click-" A chicken bone fell on Qiu Shaohu's table, he frowned slightly, and looked at the noisiest middle of the tavern.

There, a gentleman and a group of his fox friends were punishing the wine, the cups and plates were messy, and even the roast chicken with the wine was spilled everywhere.

The protagonist of the party is named Zhou Pingxing, whose father has also accumulated a lot of wealth in Chaomen by trafficking whalebone whale oil from overseas. He himself usually calls friends in the tide gate, walks the streets and alleys, and enjoys games, which can be regarded as a "famous" local figure.

The group of people guessed again, and Zhou Pingxing was drunk too many times, so he refused and said: "Don't drink, don't drink!" Childe, I admit defeat. Well, I'll show you something good, and after a glance, I'll write off what I owe you, how about it? ”

"I know Zhou Gongzi Yaxing, but I don't know what good things I brought this time, so mysterious?" The friends next to him clamored one after another.

"Hey, let me tell you, this is a good thing that my father brought from overseas, and it is only available on the islands of the place of convergence, and I usually don't even let me see it, but this time I deliberately stole it out to open your eyes!" Zhou Pingxing said mysteriously.

"That's a good relationship, Zhou Gongzi is really a friend, take it out and let us have a look!" A crowd applauded.

Zhou Pingxing put his hand into his wide sleeve, and after a while, he felt out a sachet and opened it in everyone's expectation. On the table, everyone was amazed.

"What's this? Like jade is not jade. ”

"It's a good thing, it's strange, it's natural."

"The lines on this, isn't there a spell!"

The sound of noise came here, and Qiu Shaohu looked up slightly, and saw that on the table was a specially carved whale ear bone, which was also carved with unique patterns on the Junction Islands.

"What is asked for may not be there, but what is not sought will come." Qiu Shaohu's eyes flickered, picked up two pebbles from the flower pot on the side, and took the initiative to walk over there.

Zhou Pingxing and the people around him showed off his father's treasures, and they were proud, and they couldn't help but feel that someone was hooking their shoulders and back, and then a young voice said heartily: "I didn't expect to see Zhou Gongzi here again, it's really fate!" ”

The laughter muffled the noise of the scene for a while.

"Gongzi Zhou, who is this?" Seeing Qiu Shaohu, someone next to him wanted to ask Zhou Pingxing to introduce them as well.

Zhou Pingxing himself was also confused, and he couldn't help but hear Qiu Shaohu say: "You don't know me, my father and Zhou Gongzi's father are business partners overseas, and I also had a relationship with Gongzi!" Last time, if it wasn't for Childe who took the initiative to help, I'm afraid that my goods would have been gone! Since I'm lucky enough to meet here, I'll have to do my best to entertain everyone! Xiao Er, the accounts of this table are all recorded in my account! ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Pingxing immediately smiled, "Hey, Brother Ren, it's serious!" Come on, come on, since you have met again, let's have a few drinks together! ”

The people around were elated and invited Qiu Shaohu to take a seat. They are not surprised by similar things, Zhou Pingxing doesn't have too many friends of wine and meat, and now they may not know each other completely, so at this time, they only think that Qiu Shaohu is another friend of Zhou Pingxing.

"Zhou Gongzi's kindness is difficult, so I won't shirk it." Qiu Shaohu sat down with a big grin, rolled his eyes, saw the things on the table, and deliberately surprised and said: "Oh, Brother Zhou, this is a treasure of the place of convergence, you can get this share, it is really a great blessing!" ”

"Oh, brother, don't you know this? What advice do you have? Listening to the other party take the initiative to call him brother and brother, Zhou Pingxing is also indescribably useful.

"It's a whalebone pattern that has many magical abilities that can prolong life and bless the whole family. It's just," Qiu Shaohu paused, and then said, "It's just that Brother Zhou doesn't often hide it in his pocket?" If you can't see the light and can't absorb enough yang essence, the brilliance of this whalebone will be dim and its effectiveness will be greatly reduced! ”

"So, what should I do?" Zhou Pingxing hurriedly asked.

"This is a dense pattern, of course, there is a secret technique to deal with." Qiu Shaohu smiled and said, "Please borrow Brother Zhou's sachet for use, and if anyone else has copper coins, lend me three too." ”

Qiu Shaohu took the sachet from Zhou Pingxing's hand, put the whale ear bone back in, and took the three coins of another person, and said to everyone: "This is the money divination method, you can borrow the source of money to stimulate the dense pattern ability of the whalebone." The method is also very simple, just place the sachet in the center and place the three coins in a circle......"

Qiu Shaohu said, the coins in his hand were immediately scattered, and the three copper coins fell in response, accurately falling in three positions. Two of the coins are face-up, but the third is still spinning.

The spinning coin castrated and quickly fell off the table and rolled out of the door.

Zhou Pingxing and others were stunned.

"Not good!" Qiu Shaohu said: "Hurry up and get it back, if it doesn't return to its position within a cup of tea, then all the work will be wasted!" ”

"Hurry up and find me!" Zhou Pingxing gave an order, and the others on the table chased after the copper coin. He hesitated for a moment, and then asked Qiu Shaohu: "Then may I ask Brother Ren, the first two copper coins are positive, and the third one is ...... negative."

"Then the secret method is broken, and when the time comes, not only will it not be able to stimulate the secret pattern, but it will be very harmful to its master!" As soon as Qiu Shaohu finished saying this, he saw Zhou Pingxing also hurriedly chased out.

A group of people hurried out and looked around, only to finally see the last copper coin on the ground, Zhou Pingxing stepped forward and grabbed it, relieved, "Fortunately, it's positive." ”

They returned the same way, but saw that the sachet and coins on the table were all the same, except for Qiu Shaohu, who was nowhere to be found.

"Hey, where is that brother?"

"Let's go to the bathroom, we don't have to wait for him." Zhou Pingxing hurried back and solemnly placed the third coin in the last position.

Waited for a while, nothing happened.

The rest of the people looked at each other, "Is this dense pattern good, Zhou Gongzi ......?"

Zhou Pingxing suddenly felt that something was wrong, grabbed the sachet from the table, opened it and took a look-

Somewhere in there, there was a whalebone streak, and a pebble was lying quietly at the bottom.

"That bastard!" Zhou Pingxing was furious, "This is my father's, if he knows, he has to ......"

"That, Master Zhou, do you want to settle the account first?" The tavern's junior came over at this time.

"Checkout?" Someone present hadn't completely turned the corner, wasn't the young man just now saying that the account was on his head?

"Your friend just said that his table is still your table, and you will pay for the bill. And your friend also said that today you are the east, and you are talking about the whole tavern...... It's all up to you to pay......" Xiao Er saw that Zhou Pingxing's face was getting more and more ugly, and in the end, his confidence became more and more insufficient.

"Get out of here!" Zhou Pingxing pushed Xiao Er directly aside, angrily led people to rush out, and yelled: "Find me, even if you overturn the ground, you have to find him!" ”

……

An Rong was at present, Qiu Shaohu wrapped the whalebone dense pattern in cloth and walked into the pawnshop.

When the guy behind the pawnshop cabinet saw Qiu Shaohu coming in, he still lowered his head and made his calculations, and asked, "What do you want to be?" ”

Qiu Shaohu put the cloth bag in front of his eyes, and when the guy opened it and saw what was inside, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pretended to be calm and asked, "How much?" ”

"Don't pay a penny." Qiu Shaohu said.

Dude didn't get it.

Qiu Shaohu stared at the other party closely, and didn't see any signs of this guy being controlled by the black worm, and said: "Someone will come to you to redeem this thing later, the other party wants it, you just have to make an offer, and when the time comes, you and I will divide it into three or seven." ”

"We don't accept anything from an unknown source." The man vaguely guessed something, wrapped the whalebone in cloth and placed it on the counter.

"That's all I have to say, you can weigh it yourself." Qiu Shaohu covered the cloth bag with his hand, pushed it back, and then walked out directly from the main entrance.

Leaving An Rongdang's gate, Qiu Shaohu didn't go far, and turned directly into a small alley next to him to observe the situation.

Not long after, Zhou Pingxing really brought someone to find him, and directly broke into An Rongdang's door and shouted: "Have you seen a kid who is holding a baby to exchange for money!" ”

"The people are gone, if Zhou Gongzi chases him out, he may be able to catch up." The guy didn't lift his head as usual.

"Looks like he's been here!" Zhou Pingxing was furious, "Give me back the things!" ”

"Something?" The guy raised his head and smiled without smiling, "Young Master Zhou, you also know the rules, that person can exchange our An Rong for three thousand taels of silver." ”

"Three thousand taels!" Zhou Ping was so angry that he wanted to turn his back on it, "What do you mean, I still have to pay three thousand taels of silver to redeem it?" ”

"If Gongzi Zhou is worried about money, you can also go back first, and ask your father to come over to explain the cause and effect, and then the things will naturally be presented with both hands." The guy made a "please" gesture.

"It's a robber, believe it or not, I demolished your broken pawnshop!" Of course, Zhou Pingxing didn't dare to go back and tell his father that he had lost this thing, so he could only fight to the end at the moment.

"Gongzi Zhou, please don't be impatient," another person walked out from behind, who was the shopkeeper here, "I also have a relationship with Ling Zun, presumably he doesn't want to see you cause trouble here." ”

The words are kind, but the threat is self-evident. Zhou Pingxing was extremely angry, but he could only admit it. Hate glanced at the other party, raised his hand and threw a silver ticket on the table, thinking that he would like to get the things back, "The money is here, get the things back!" ”

"Hey, Gongzi Zhou, the thing is here, you can check it." The guy confirmed the authenticity of the silver ticket and took out the cloth bag.

Zhou Pingxing snatched the cloth bag and walked out without saying a word. A large group of people just said and left, and the scene immediately became much colder.

Everything was seen by Qiu Shaohu.

As soon as he entered An Rongdang's gate, he immediately rushed to the counter in three steps and two steps, grabbed the man's collar, and roared: "You dare to trick me, look at what this is!" ”

As he spoke, he slammed the cloth bag and placed it on the counter.

Both of them were stunned, and the shopkeeper reached out to pick up the cloth bag, and when he opened it, he saw that another pebble was inside.

"What's going on?" The shopkeeper immediately asked.

"I ...... I don't know! "The guy couldn't imagine when Qiu Shaohu dropped his bag again.

"I think you're trying to trick me! Brothers, smash me! After Zhou Pingxing shouted angrily, his people immediately made a fuss in the pawnshop, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.

The people who were originally waiting behind the pawnshop heard the movement in front of them, and they also rushed out to stop it at this time, and the backyard was empty all of a sudden.

Qiu Shaohu wanted this opportunity, so he took the opportunity to go around the alley and rushed to An Rongdang's backyard.

There was still a sense of secrecy wafting from here, but the threat was greatly reduced.

Qiu Shaohu groped inside with his senses, and when he passed a room, he quickly hid outside the window again.

He clearly felt that there was a figure moving inside.

Looking cautiously through the gap in the window, Qiu Shaohu was a little surprised, "Is it him?" ”

That person had an old face, neat clothes, and although one leg was lame, his movements were still extremely fast, and it was Wu Jingxing, an old man who had borrowed books from Zhao Lin before.

Wu Jingxing seemed to be looking for something, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, and almost every cabinet door where the sundries were placed was searched by him.

After finding nothing, Wu Jingxing stopped, muttered for a moment, and suddenly jumped up on one leg, touched something from the beam, and then took down a box.

The box was quaintly decorated, as if something important was inside.

Qiu Shaohu also vaguely guessed that it might be a token of the resting place, and when he saw Wu Jingxing open the box, he couldn't help but hold his breath.

Inside the box was a baby's heart, blood-red, still beating.
