Chapter 23: Clues

"Welcome!"

As soon as she entered the door, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl was lying on the table doing her homework, and when she saw Zhou Ming coming in, she immediately raised her head.

"Grandpa, there are guests." The little girl shouted into the room.

After a while, an old man with gray hair and reading glasses came out of it.

"What do you want to buy, young man?"

"I'll take a look first." Zhou Ming said, his eyes browsed on the shelves on both sides, this strange stone Yaxuan thing lives up to an elegant name, there are a lot of exquisite mountain stones and flowers in it, and the layout is also quite elegant, quiet and quiet, isolating the noise of the outside world, making people involuntarily calm down.

Turning his gaze to the column of bonsai rockery, there are several types of bonsai rockery of Qishi Yaxuan, and it took a lot of thought to arrange the appearance, Zhou Ming looked at it carefully.

Seeing Zhou Ming looking around, the old man was not in a hurry, and slowly dusted some items, as for the little girl, she had already bitten her pen boredly and continued to write her homework seriously.

The door opened again, and an elegant middle-aged man walked in with the curtain lifted.

He seemed to be a frequent visitor to Qishi Yaxuan, and after coming in, he said hello to the old man, and the two chatted a few words of homely things, and then walked aside to look at things.

Zhou Ming has no interest in listening to other people's gossip, at this time, he has determined that Yu Haina's bonsai rockery was bought from here, the reason is very simple, there is a pot on this shelf that is exactly the same as the bonsai rockery hidden in the green wood, it is the same, and at a glance, you can know that it is from the same person.

walked over, and when he walked in front of the bonsai rockery, an inexplicable throbbing came to his heart, making Zhou Ming stunned.

This kind of feeling, it's like finding a treasure of heaven and earth, such as the time in the underground casino, I also have the same feeling, this is the instinct after becoming an earth cultivator, but compared to that time, this time the feeling is much weaker.

"How is that possible?" Zhou Ming's eyes showed a look of disbelief, he had previously scanned the Dongguan Garden with the eye of the sky, although the perspective was special, but he was also sure that he would not miss this store, so what was the feeling this time?

His eyes narrowed slightly, and at the same time, Zhou Ming opened the eye of heaven, and after entering that special state, he looked towards the location of the bonsai rockery again, however, what puzzled him was that there was still no abnormal light.

"Strange." The situation that had never happened before made Zhou Ming's brows furrow.

"Boy, what's the problem?" The old man noticed that Zhou Ming was standing in front of the bonsai rockery for a while, and couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, nothing." Zhou Ming came back to his senses, pointed to the bonsai rockery and said, "I have taken a fancy to this bonsai, boss, you can make a price." ”

Anyway, it's better to buy it first, and there is no shortage of money anyway.

"300." The old man thought for a moment and said.

Zhou Ming nodded, the price was the same as what Yu Hai said: "I want it." ”

Walking to the counter and paying the money, Zhou Ming asked casually: "Boss, I like this bonsai rockery very much, do you have anything here, I want to give it away." ”

The old man did not doubt Zhou Ming's statement, the shape of this bonsai rockery is indeed quite special, not much beautiful, but gives people a murderous strange feeling, which is impressive, so there are many people who are curious to ask, but the only one who really paid for it was Yu Hai.

"More of this kind of bonsai rockery, there should be none, if I'm not mistaken, this is a year ago a person with a southwest accent sold to me, he is a very skilled master, the things sold are made by himself, but unfortunately the business failed, I plan to return to my hometown, I will deal with all the things that are inconvenient to carry cheaply, I think he is quite a little pitiful, so he spent money to buy these two pots." The old man thought for a moment and said.

"It's a pity." Zhou Ming was a little sorry, the other party was from the southwest, and God knows whether these two rockeries were made in the southwest or Linhai Province, and there was no way to roughly judge the location of the return to Aoki, and the person had returned to his hometown, so there was no way to catch up, the only thing that was certain was that these two rockeries were indeed made by that person, and there was no other maker.

This clue is broken.

"By the way, I remember that the man had a fellow who opened a Sichuan restaurant nearby, but some time ago there was a funeral at home, so he rushed back to the funeral, their customs over there, it is estimated that it will take two or three months to come back, if you really want it, wait for him to come back, I will help you ask." Seeing that Zhou Ming's expression did not seem to be fake, the old man was warm, so he came up with an idea.

"Okay, thank you boss." Zhou Ming's eyes lit up, although he still had to wait for a few months, but compared with the huge value of returning to Aoki, this time could still afford to wait, after all, there was a vast sea of people, and he didn't know the exact place, so if he let himself go to find it, it would be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Pulling out a blank piece of paper from the counter, Zhou Ming left his contact information on it.

"Baby, go and move that rockery," the old man called.

The little girl responded crisply, put down her homework, and hurriedly ran to the bonsai rockery in small steps, stood on tiptoe, and moved it down with some difficulty.

"Big brother, give", after walking for a short distance, some sweat appeared on the little girl's face, and when she arrived at Zhou Ming's side, she hurriedly handed over the bonsai rockery.

Zhou Ming stretched out his hand to pick it up, but when the little girl let go, her heart moved suddenly, but she suddenly withdrew her hand.

"Bang Da~" The bonsai rockery with nowhere to be stressed fell to the ground, and immediately fell into a smash, and the mud and stones rolled everywhere.

Zhou Ming moved quickly, grabbed the little girl and flashed to the side, but he didn't hit her, but when he saw the broken bonsai rockery on the ground, the little girl's mouth was flattened and she wanted to cry.

"It's... This! Grandpa, I'm ......" The little girl's eyes were red, she didn't expect Zhou Ming to suddenly withdraw her hand, and thought that she was letting go too quickly, and she blamed herself very much.

The old man was also startled, and he was relieved to see that his granddaughter and Zhou Ming were not injured, and then he smiled bitterly.

He didn't expect such a thing to happen, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, this bonsai rockery was broken, who is responsible, it's really hard to say.

"Young man, I'm really sorry, so let's do it, how about you change another pot of rockery, it doesn't count your money." The old man was a kind man, and although he didn't know whose responsibility it was, he still took the matter away.

Zhou Ming waved his hand, but did not answer, he did not have the intention of harming this ancestor and grandson, Zhou only had a temporary idea, it was a flash of inspiration in his mind, but he did not think about it, and only then did he realize that it was inappropriate.

"I'll talk about that later." Zhou Ming's eyes swept over the broken bonsai rockery, and then his eyes lit up slightly, and his toes picked up in the mud and stones, and suddenly, a transparent and cold thing rolled out of it.
