I can go back to the mysterious age.

Chapter 35 Daddy's Antique Store

The buildings on both sides of the street are different from before. It is obviously much lower here, and the road is relatively deserted.The only thing on it is a black street lamp. There are two protruding shelves next to the bulbs of this street lamp, like candlesticks.

It is the only decoration on the back road.

Passing these pale yellow buildings, Kashu walked along the sidewalk covered with checkered tiles to the right side of the intersection.

At the end of the road, you can even see the black mountain wall and the grass and trees behind, which is quite remote.No one would have imagined that there was a small antique shop here.

Above the store, hang a rectangular metal nameplate.

"Papa's Antiques."

Well, the name is weird enough.Even if ordinary people choose this kind of store name, they will add their name in front of it.Papa Charlie Antiques, for example, but this antique store seems to be so capricious.

Kaxiu came here once the day before yesterday, and the shop owner is a skinny old man wearing round glasses with a very weird temper.

Even so, he actually liked being here.

The low flow of people is actually attractive to Kaxiu.

Pressing his swollen left chest, he still has a bit of confidence in sweeping the city's antique shops this time, provided he has an obsession with antiques or legendary antiques.Otherwise, even with a pile of gold and silver in his hands, he would not be able to buy the obsessive energy that Kaxiu wanted.

After standing for a moment, he opened the door and entered.

"Welcome to Papa's Antiques..."

An old voice sounded behind the red counter at the entrance, and the old man in a white shirt and yellow vest raised his head slightly.

"Hello, old man." Kaxiu waved.

He is not a familiar person, on the contrary, he is quite indifferent.But for this old man, Kaxiu doesn't know why he always has a sense of intimacy.Maybe it's a natural compatibility?Anyway, he was most comfortable staying in this antique shop.

The last time it turned from dusk to night, Dad also invited him to eat edamame sandwiches, a kind of weird food.

But let alone, the taste is actually good.

"Li Wei, have you had lunch yet?" Dad slowly put down what he was holding, walked around the counter, and picked up a plate.

"Not yet, I plan to eat it at Nington Street." Just now, Kaxiu had been sorting medicinal materials to make ointment, and Kaxiu didn't have time to eat.

"Then let's fill your belly with an edamame sandwich first..."

The little old man passed the plate forward, and there was a sandwich inside.Kaxiu was not pretentious, and immediately picked it up and ate it.

"Thank you, Dad."

"Hahaha." The old man smiled happily, his small eyes narrowed together, his white eyebrows fluttered, and he was inexplicably kind.

"Father, you are serving strange edamame sandwiches to the guests again." A strange voice came from the door.

The little girl in a children's T-shirt held a large ice cream cone, looking at Papa and Kaxiu for a while.

"What's strange, the edamame sandwich is obviously the most delicious sandwich in the world!" Dad was a little angry: there is one more thing~ Xiao Yu, did you play truant and go home after class? "

"Father, you are confused again. Today is the holy bath day, and the school is on holiday." The little girl shouted a few words, as if she was afraid that the deaf father would not be able to hear.She walked all the way upstairs.

"Oh, how dare you teach Dad a lesson."

The old man waved the empty plate in his hand.

"By the way, dad, when will Uncle Yun come back?"

The little girl on the stairs shook the hair on the top of her head.

"At least one more month. He's on the ship coming back from the United States of Anna." The old man put down the plate and said, "By the way, don't interrupt, you haven't replied to the old man's words just now."

Kaxiu next to him looked at this scene and smiled.Both the little girl and the little old man are cute, and of course this refers to their personalities.

In fact, since the last time he came here, he knew that Dad and Xiao Yu were not from Hongli Federation, but from Xinglanyanzhou Xinglan Empire.Their family also has Uncle Yun who is doing business abroad.

The business seems to be related to antiques, and every once in a while a small batch of antiques will be shipped from outside to Baichuan City.Although these antiques are strange and of little value.

Seeing his father rushing upstairs angrily, Kaxiu shook his head helplessly.Maybe it's because of this kid's temper that they get along well.

It is said that the older a person is, the more childish his temper is, the heart of a child?

He turned his head and walked towards the shelves of the antique shop.

This Papa antique shop may seem small from the outside, but it's quite spacious inside.There are more than a dozen pale yellow shelves in the middle of the store, which are not professional, but should be handmade.

The wood grain can be seen on the edges, as well as the riveting of the nails.

On the shelves were some odd knick-knacks.

Music boxes, old pocket watches, thick books, parchment...

On the three sides of the wall surrounding the shelves, there are low counters covered with yellow cloth, on which are placed large antiques.

For example, bust sculptures, broken iron swords, old oil paintings laid out flat, and ceramic pots that are suspected to be teapots and chamber pots.In short, it is weird, and there is no major antique shop that is divided into categories.

But complex types and small objects still seem to win.

Kaxiu followed the old practice, from left to right, from the head to the end of the house.Searching all the way, checking the past all the way.

Although he has a golden tongue that can search for bitterness, no one can be sure about this thing.When Kaxiu approached the senior brother wearing the wind ivory pendant for the first time, there was no bitter taste in his mouth.

Only touching it with your hands is the most accurate. If you have obsessive energy, your arms will feel numb and painful.Of course, if some obsessive antiques are hidden too deep, and you have to have a wound on your arm to sense them, then Kaxiu can only admit it.After all, it is impossible for him to press everywhere with his bloody thumb, not to mention whether he will be blasted out, the rust and bacteria alone are enough.

Walk all the way, from the shelf next to the road to the shelf on the other side.Ka Xiu didn't find anything unexpected.

Putting down the goblet in his hand, he picked up a copper coin beside him.The surface is rough and old, although it has a metallic texture, it is not strong, and the degree of oxidation is not light.Kaxiu rubbed his thumb lightly, and the whole person raised his eyebrows in an instant.

"Familiar bitter taste... Are these two days my lucky days?"

The corner of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

It's confirmed, the coin in my hand is an obsessive antique.Kaxiu looked around and rubbed vigorously with his hands.

The bitterness gradually became stronger, and it seemed that there was something on the surface of the coin covering the obsessive energy, and it was necessary to get close to it.

He decisively bit the opening on his fingertips and pressed it lightly.

A gust of cold air pierced through the skin.

Suddenly, the number in the upper right corner jumped twice in a row.

"Obsession energy: 1.9→2.0→2.1"

It's a bit small, but Kaxiu doesn't dislike it, it's a good thing to have it.

He glanced at the shelf, and immediately found seven or eight similar coins.On the reverse is a crown with a cross top askew, and on the obverse the coin's large numeral fifty.

Kaxiu picked up the coins and repeated the trick.

I found another one that contained the energy of obsession.

"Obsession energy: 2.1→2.3"

He pinched the coin in his palm and shouted to the counter.

"Father, how much are these coins?"

　I borrowed the characters from The Adventures of Jackie Chan, and I really like the cute old man, the eccentric Xiaoyu, and of course the unlucky Uncle Long. (^^*)
