Coins from various dynasties are casually packed in plastic basins, jade embryos are placed in ring boxes, and next to them is a pile of crooked porcelain.

"Little girl, just take a look." A lean old man playing with a pair of walnuts saw Ren Zixian at a glance, and said leisurely, "Maybe there is something you want here." ”

The old man's words meant something, and Ren Zixian stood in place and looked at his stall for some reason, Xu Xuanming saw that she was interested and hurriedly asked the people behind to go first.

The old man's stall was not large, a red cloth was spread on the ground, and there were some silver dollars and a few small ceramic ornaments scattered on it. Because there are relatively few things in the stalls, the first is not very eye-catching, and the second is that the goods of such small vendors are not easy to bargain, so even if the pedestrians are in a hurry, few people stop in front of his stall.

Ren Zixian glanced at the things on the stall, lacking interest, she studied cultural relics restoration, but she also specialized in calligraphy and painting scrolls.

This time, I want to learn a lot when I come to Chengjiayuan, and by the way, I can exchange some antiquity scrolls that can be used as daily practice.

The silver dollar ceramics on the old man's stall did not attract her, and she was about to get up and leave, but she saw a dusty camera in the corner of the old man's stall.

Ren glanced at the camera and was stunned for a moment.

It was a Ricoh film camera, and the corners were badly damaged, and the lens was also very damaged.

The whole camera looked like it had just been dug out of the dirt, and it was still stained with dry dirt.

"Do you like anything?" Xu Xuanming saw that Ren Zi was stunned, and took a closer look at the things on the stall, there was nothing special, although they were all old objects, but they were not things that could be sold at a high price.

"Little girl, got your eye on this camera?" The old man said leisurely, "I'll just say there's what you want." 200,000 sold to you. ”

"Two hundred thousand?" Even Xu Xuanming was taken aback, "This is not an antique, it is broken, even if it is brand new, it is only in the early 500s, you dare to sell it for 200,000?" ”

The camera collection is already a niche one, and this is not a technical camera of some epochal significance.

It's even just a cost-effective camera from the last century.

However, Ren Zixian's face turned pale the moment she saw the camera, and she reached over to take the camera with some trembling.

The camera is only the size of a palm, all black, with a thin layer of dust on it, and he shuddered and picked up the camera and touched it to the bottom of the card slot, and there was indeed a cross cross-shaped nick in the secret place underneath.

"This is my dad's camera......" Ren Zi said in a voice that he could hear freely.

Ren Zixian's father is called Ren Cun, a wooden office worker, and Ren Zixian didn't know much about what Ren Cun did since he was a child.

I only know that Ren Cun has never worked overtime, and he has no other hobbies, and he carries his small camera with him wherever he goes.

The family doesn't have much money, so he can use a camera for several years, but he can't do it.

My biggest interest is to take pictures of my mother, and there are several albums dedicated to his works, and then the albums can't fit and can only be packed in boxes.

Teaching and learning to take pictures has become another hobby of his.

Ren Zixian remembered that his mother was dancing in a circle in the garden, and Ren Cun was not far away to teach Ren Zixian, who had just entered elementary school, to take pictures.

The warm light of dusk shone on the hem of Mom's white dress, accompanied by the sound of film turning.

"Xiao Xian'er, you see the focus here, if you don't ...... right, you can turn around" Before Ren Cun finished speaking.

Ren Zixian's hand slid and reflexively reached out, and the camera flew out grazing her fingertips.

"It's over! My new camera! Ren Cun quickly picked it up, and the brand-new camera was scratched twice by the stone.

Even my mother didn't dance and came over to see how it was going.

Who knew that Ren Cun burst out laughing: "Fortunately, it was scratched on the card slot, if it was scratched on the lens, wouldn't it test my skills more?" ”

After the death of Ren Cun and his wife, the camera albums were all collected by Ren Ziid.

She didn't have time to miss the past, and Ren Zixian, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, was the only one in the family who could earn money.

Later, the camera was turned out of the dusty box by Lin Xuedi: "Why put it away?" The camera will break if you don't use it. In this way, my father-in-law will use this camera to take pictures of my mother-in-law, and I will use this camera to take pictures of you in the future! ”

Now Ren Zixian took the dusty camera and did not have any joy to regain it, only a panic, she thought that this camera was sent back to the Lin family together in Lin Xuedi's relics.

But now it appeared here, Lin Xuedi really went to the ground with this camera at that time?

So what's inside this camera?

What did Lin Xuedi see at the underground excavation site at that time?

"200,000, you take this camera, if it doesn't work, then go." The old man didn't seem to see Ren Ziidle's wavering, he still turned the walnut in his hand, "If you decide to buy this camera, there will be no turning back." ”

Ren Ziid's hand touching the camera shakes, what does it mean that there is no turning back?

She raised her eyes to look at the old man, who was wearing a jacket and stared at Ren Zixian with burning eyes, as if to see her through: "Have you thought about getting this camera back?" ”

Ren Zixian unexpectedly heard what he said, and he asked Ren Zixian if he was really going to get the camera back.

Is she really going to enter the Wenxiu circle to investigate Lin Xuedi's death?

This was their second temptation.

"What is he talking about?" Xu Xuanming's eyes scanned back and forth between Ren Zixian and the old man, and finally his gaze fell on Ren Zixian, "This is your camera?" ”

Ren Zixian stood up, still holding the camera in her hand, and she understood that this old man stall owner was coming for her.

Like the man in the morgue before, this old man was waiting for her here.

Even if she doesn't come to her home today, the camera can be delivered to her through other channels.

Ren Zixian's every move was under the surveillance of those people, and cold sweat oozed from her back, which was like a huge net, enveloping her.

But whether this net is going to save her or harm her, Ren Zixian is not clear.

Only Xu Xuanming didn't know why, but in just one minute, he could clearly feel that Ren Ziid's mental state had taken a sharp turn.

Her face turned pale, and Xu Xuanming couldn't talk to her as if she couldn't convey it.

Although he didn't understand what Ren Zixian was worried about, Ren Zixian's willingness to go out for a walk and become a home was tantamount to helping her evacuate the depression in her heart.

used his knowledge to help others before, and then had dinner with his grandfather, Xu Xuanming could obviously find that Ren Ziidle's mood was much better.

But after a minute of contact with this old man, Ren Zixian suddenly became the state when he first saw her in the morning, as if he had been dragged into a whirlpool.

He can't be allowed to make contact with Ren Zixian again.

"Let yourself go." Xu Xuanming didn't care about anything, he reached out to take Ren Zixian's hand, wanting to take her away first.

However, Ren Zixian remained motionless, and the old man was still talking: "Young man, impatience can't make money. This camera is 200,000, and as a matter of sincerity, we will send you another roll of film, which I am sure you should be interested in. ”

Sincerity...... In the funeral home, Ren Zixian also heard the same thing.

The sincerity that the man said was this box of film?

"Okay." Ren Zixian clenched the camera in her hand, and she had a feeling of seeking skin with a tiger.

Everything about her was controlled by the other party, but whether it was the man in the funeral parlor or this old man, Ren Zixian knew nothing.

The old man smiled, took out a roll of film from his pocket and handed it to Ren Zixian: "If you want to do something, don't be disturbed by other things." We look forward to seeing each other again soon. ”

……

Xu Xuanming drove the restless Ren Zixian back, no matter what topic he raised, he could no longer bring up Ren Ziid's interest.

That old man was a fresh face, even Xu Xuanming didn't know him.

When Xu Xuanming was thinking about how to find the old man's information, Ren Zixian spoke: "Professor Xu, I once had a boyfriend. ”

Xu Xuanming's hand holding the steering wheel suddenly tightened, and replied, "I know, didn't you break up?" ”

"No, it's my boyfriend." Ren Zixian corrected his statement and said softly, "He died four years ago. ”

Xu Xuanming was a little incredible: "That Lin Qing ......"

"He's just ......" Ren Zixian just wanted to say the 'lover' turned a corner, "He's just a stand-in." ”

When she said the word 'stand-in', Xu Xuanming obviously felt that her mind froze for a moment.

Ren Zixian lowered his eyes and continued: "He is my boyfriend's brother. ”

Xu Xuanming turned the steering wheel and stopped on the side of the road, a little shocked: "What does a stand-in mean!?" ”

Ren Zixian touched the camera in his hand: "At first, it was because they looked too similar, but later I found out that he could help me." ”

"Do you know what you're doing?!" Xu Xuanming's voice was a little louder, "He's Lin Qingsong!" The president of the Lin family, now in charge of the Zhu family, he can make you live in the cultural cultivation circle or any field at any time! ”

In just a few minutes, Xu Xuanming saw something outside of his cognition, and he was a little indigestible for a moment, not knowing whether he was crazy or he was crazy.

"I know," Ren Zixian said with a slow smile, "I have vilely deceived innocent people, but I have no time to regret it." Professor Xu, I'm sure you don't want to waste your time either. ”

This is a clear rejection of Xu Xuanming's pursuit.

"What did the stall owner tell you before?" Xu Xuanming could know the crux of the problem with a little thought, "What he said is related to Lin Qingsong?" Or is it related to your ex-boyfriend? ”

Xu Xuanming hesitated, originally he thought that Ren Zixian and Lin Qingsong were ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend relationships.

Even if they break up, it won't prevent the next one, but if you let yourself die and use Lin Qingsong as a stand-in, it will be another matter.

Ren Zixian knew that he understood what she meant, so he said, "Professor Xu, don't have too much to do with me." I'll just take a taxi back here and I'll find another house as soon as possible. ”
