Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 1 The antique has spoken!
"If the peach leaves are pointed up, the willow leaves will hang all over the sky..."

Xiao Ran was lying in front of the antique shop, humming a little tune and beating the time. The setting sun coated his whole body with a golden layer.

It has been more than three months since he traveled to this world.

Unfortunately, the original owner of this body had been in a car accident before, so after he crossed over, he lay in the hospital for two months and was only discharged last month.

I was discharged from the hospital, but I ended up with a whole body of problems, including my brain.Although the memories of the previous life are still there, he only slowly remembered many things in this life.

For example, when he saw bicycles all over the street, oversized suits and flared trousers, he remembered that he was in the 80s.

For example, when he saw the two portraits at home, he knew that this time-traveling was another old routine of his parents offering sacrifices to heaven, and then he remembered the details of this life and his parents.

Another example is when he saw his second uncle who came to the hospital to take care of him, he just remembered that the old man had no children and regarded him as his own son since he was a child.

Basically, the property rights of the dozen or so shops in Panjiayuan, including the "Baorongzhai" antique shop next to him, and of course other antique calligraphy and paintings, gold, stone and jade objects, etc., must be his.

Another example is seeing Liu Shengli dozing off next to him...

He is full of fire!Ya Te Meow is lazy again!
No wonder the business in the store is always so dead. With such a "sleeping lion" at the door, which God of Wealth would like to enter the store?

He sat up propped up and was about to knock Liu Shengli on the head with his fan.

"Boss, can you accept antiques?"

A low voice suddenly interrupted him.Turning around to look, a tall and thin man was standing beside him, just blocking the soft light of the setting sun.

"Take it, take it..." Xiao Ran turned to Liu Shengli while talking, and a fan fell on his head, "Work has started!"

Liu Shengli woke up trembling from this shock, looked around blankly, and quickly helped Xiao Ran up.

"Come on buddy, let's go in and talk."

Xiao Ran invited the tall and thin man into the back room to sit down, sent Liu Shengli out to pour tea, and looked at the guest in front of him.

This person is tall and thin, with a visual height of more than 180, and his age is about 30.

He was wearing the blue cloth clothes that are common in the streets, a pair of black cloth shoes, and a green cloth cap on his head. He looked like a farmer in the city.Only the pair of sunglasses that covered half of his face looked out of place with his clothes.

From the moment he entered the door, he was holding the rag bag tightly in his hand, and it seemed that the antique he was talking about was in there.

Liu Shengli came in with tea, Xiao Ran sent him out, and he cheerfully greeted the guests first.The reason why he is so ardent is because after coming to this world, he has been free to fart.

Although there is a shortage of supplies in this era, it is also rare to be comfortable and comfortable, unlike modern times where internal injuries are everywhere.

But he has traveled through time, there must be a new way of life, right?

After thinking about it for two months, he planned to start with this small antique shop and try to make a few big deals, so that his second uncle and his father can rest assured that he will take care of all the properties.

Then, relying on the memory of his previous life, he also learned from those reborn 80-year-old girls and daughters-in-law in the novel, riding the economic tide, what clothing, home appliances, real estate, foreign trade, e-commerce, Internet, as long as he stepped on the wind. , easily achieved his dozens of hundreds of small goals.

At that time, when it comes to the richest man, there will be no such things as Lin and Teng, only the sound of "Daddy Xiao" sweeping the country.

No matter how small a fly is, it is still meat. As long as you enter the store, whether you are buying or selling, he will greet you with a smile. This is the service attitude of the 21st century. Let’s roll up on this point first!
And, after all, there is usually no business...

The visitor drank the water in a hurry, dealt with Xiao Ran's greetings one after another, and repeated the first sentence: "Boss, can you accept the antiques?"

"Hehe, listen to the accent, brother is from Fulan, right? Accept it, definitely accept it! This is what we do. But it depends on whether your goods are top-notch. If you don't open the door, if the quality is good, I will try my best to give you a good price .”

The so-called "do not open the door" refers to counterfeit products, Xiao Ran is not short of money, he will accept cheap ones when he sees them in good condition, and maybe he will sell them to someone who takes advantage of them if they double the price next time.

The tall and thin man was stunned, opened his pocket and muttered: "The goods must be good. I walked the whole street, and I saw someone who can accept this..."

As soon as the words fell, a long knife with a sheath was already lying on the tea table.

"Hey, buddy, all the fakes in my store are fakes, you can show mercy."

"...Do you want to accept it or not? Pull it out and have a look."

Xiao Ran made fun of it, it seems that this person really doesn't have a sense of humor.

He picked up the knife and held the handle in his hand, feeling a rough and heavy feeling.The non-slip lines on the handle of the knife are already a little smooth and coated, but it really doesn't seem to be deliberately old. It can be seen that the owner of the knife should be a warrior who often fights.

Xiao Ran looked at the tall and thin man, and with a forceful hand, he pulled out the knife with a "bass".

The long knife came out of its sheath and let out a "buzz", which made Xiao Ran's eardrums tingle for a while.

Under the light, the long knife glowed with a cold light, and there were some black and red marks on the groove of the knife body. I don't know if it was blood, mud or rust.The blade is about three feet long and less than two inches wide, with an excellent sense of balance, and the traditional Chinese character "Guanshan" is engraved near the blade plate.

"Guan Shandao, buddy, it looks pretty good. But the year of this thing is too recent, the farthest is the year of Xianfeng, not to mention it is easy to imitate, even if it is real, it will not sell for a high price."

Whether it is really good or not is another matter. It must be a common practice to suppress the price first.

"There's another one, take a look!"

The tall and thin man dumped everything in his pockets on the table as he spoke.

There was a sound of "cracking", and a large pile of pottery vases and bronze utensils were spread out on the table in an instant, causing a burst of dust.

"Cough cough..."

While fanning the ashes, Xiao Ran looked at the things on the table, thinking in his heart that these things must not have just been unearthed, could this buddy in front of him be a local master?

Seeing Xiao Ran's puzzled eyes, the thin and tall man took the initiative to explain: "It was hidden in the house of an elder who lived far away, and he didn't have a queen. My parents asked me to find a place far away to sell these, and hold a white wedding for him. .”

It turns out that it may be that the tall and thin family is not sure where these things come from, and they are afraid of selling them nearby, which makes sense.

Xiao Ran looked at the pile of things on the table in a picky way. The owner of this body is a rich man from the capital. He likes to dabble in miscellaneous things all his life, so he knows a little bit about many things, including some basics of antique appreciation. Knowledge.But even the foundation is enough to deal with the rags in front of you.

Most of this pile of things are from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. They are hardly worth talking about in the antique shop.

He was thinking about how this would send off the old man in front of him, and his eyes fell on a round copper button.

The brass buckle looks weird, the size of a pocket watch, and in the middle is a pattern similar to Liangyi, but without those two dots.On the periphery of the Liangyi, there are nine twists and turns like tentacles coiled around.

This thing is completely unlike all the antiques that Xiao Ran has seen in these two lifetimes, at least not from his own country.He was curious, picked up the copper buckle and played with it in his hand, thinking that it would be good to make a belt buckle with a hole drilled in the back...

As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Ran suddenly felt numbness in his palms. This numbness instantly spread all over his body, his eyes also flickered, and then there was a chill from head to toe, like pouring a basin of cold water over his head while being shocked by an electric shock in the dog days.

When everything returned to normal, a voice suddenly sounded from far and near.

"My name is Yarrow Jiugui, and I will give you blood to give you longevity!"

These words sounded repeatedly, Xiao Ran looked blankly at the tall and thin man in front of him, but the other party did not speak.He looked around, and there was no one else in the room.

He looked down at the copper buckle in his hand, and thought: "Could it be that this shit is talking?"

"A child can be taught, and the words come from me! Lizi is despicable, I am not a broken thing, my name is Yi Jiugui, I will give you blood, and I will give you longevity!"

Xiao Ran looked at the opposite side again, the thin and tall guy still didn't respond, this thing can actually communicate with him with his thoughts!
He was suddenly overjoyed, coming, coming, after traveling for so long, these eight achievements are the legendary gold finger!I didn't expect that this gold finger didn't mention whether he practiced or not, and he just gave it to Changsheng when he came up. He really can brag!
Ignoring the repeated protests of the brass buckle named Yarrow Jiukuo, he tossed it high like a baseball a few times, and looked at the tall and thin one cheerfully.

"This thing is interesting. Brother, to tell you the truth, most of your things are worthless. But I think it's not easy for you to bring such old things all the way. It's still for the sake of showing filial piety to the elders. If you don't lie to me, then brother, I have to be righteous. All these add up to eight hundred, how about it?"

Hearing what Xiao Ran said, the tall and thin man opened his mouth wide and was stunned.

"Well, I'm happy to catch up with you today, and I've arranged for you the round trip, board and lodging, how about a total of one thousand? I know you have a lot of good things there, and you will introduce more business to me later, if you You introduced it, I will cover the board and lodging when you come here!"

In this era, many urban workers earn only a few hundred yuan a year.One thousand is really not a small number for this pile of things.

Seeing that the tall and thin man still didn't speak, Xiao Ran lowered his face: "Brother, I've made a lot of money, and if I ask the price again, it will be over."

The thin and tall man waved his hands again and again: "No...not...too many, thank you, brother brother! Thank you! I will write it down! I will definitely thank you in the future!"

"Don't! I'm only in my 20s, and you look older than me. If there's nothing wrong, how about we settle the bill?"

After a while, a stack of big unions was handed over to the tall and thin man.The tall and thin man thanked him a thousand times, declined Xiao Ran and sent him out, walked to the door of the store, looked back at the three big characters "Bao Rong Zhai" on the door, and slowly took off his sunglasses.

At this time, night has fallen, but this era has not yet had so many bright neon lights that make night as day.With the help of the dim street lights, Xiao Ran felt that the man's eyes were shining brightly, his eyes were full of light, and his stooped body before had straightened up a lot, with a mocking smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you! The invitation to the group..."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Xiao Ran only heard the general idea of ​​the last sentence, but didn't understand what it meant.But he faintly felt that something was wrong with this person, so he hurriedly asked Liu Shengli to chase him out, but the person had long since disappeared.

"Forget it, what do you want, there are other projects tonight." Xiao Ran looked back and forth with the copper buckle between his hands, "You, Yajiukuo? I'll call you Xiaojiu."

"Zhuzi! My name is Yarrow Jiukui! How dare you call me Xiaojiu! I..."

"That's enough, that's enough! You're not a big kid and you're not a little tempered, so I'll have some fun for you today!"

Xiao Ran stuffed the yarrow into his butt pocket, sent Liu Shengli to close the door early, and walked happily to the bedroom at the back of the store.
