Xanadu space

() Zhang Xiang's hometown is in Zhangjiadian, Guanmiao Town, Xiaoxi County. The nearest train only goes to the east of Xiaoxi County, and it is more than 100 miles away from Guanmiao Town in the north. The key is that there is no direct train.

With a cane in one hand and an old backpack on his back, Zhang Xiang struggled to get on the bus.By the time he transferred to Xiaoxian North Station, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and the shuttle bus from Guanmiao was still empty, so it was probably too early to start on the road.

He rubbed his hungry stomach. Since he got on the bus from the provincial capital of Huxi yesterday, he has been holding back the water and rice because of his limited mobility. He is about to get home, so he should get some food first!

This roadside breakfast shop is just two words - simple.

There were no windows in the room, it was dark and the light was very poor, so Zhang Xiang found an open-air table and sat down.

There are two street stalls next to the table, one sells fruit, and the other sells rare antique jewelry.

The antique jewelry seller is a very wretched old man, dirty, and his actual age cannot be seen. He is said to be 60 years old, which looks a lot like him!Said he is 80 years old, he still looks alike!

"These ancient objects are precious and fragile, be careful!" He sat there with half-closed eyes, but said a word to those watching the excitement indifferently.

Hearing this, a girl with big eyes and thick eyebrows carefully put the object that looked like a bronze Buddha on the stall, but her eyes were fixed on another exquisite pendant.

"Five hundred, the minimum price for antiques here is five hundred!" As soon as the old man opened his mouth, the girl and several other onlookers immediately dispersed.Just kidding, [-] catties of pork to buy a thing that is less than the size of a fist, this is not ordinary expensive!

The sound of "噗嗤" was exactly what Zhang wanted to make, but fortunately the noodles had been eaten, otherwise it would be a big embarrassment.

These are on the ground, looking like some vintage stuff.A lot of soil has been deposited on the sunken part, and the protruding part is more like an ancient bronze ware. In fact, Zhang wanted to see it in the craft factory.

These are materials synthesized with resin, and stone powder is added to make the weight close to copper.A layer of golden paint was sprayed on the surface, and a light antique paint was sprayed on it, and then the raised areas were made with rags for effect.

After this kind of resin material is processed, it is an antique lamp specially exported with an antique lampshade.This thing is relatively rare in China. Most people try the weight and look at the color, and they really think it is a copper antique buried in the ground.

Zhang wanted to know that the ex-factory price of this thing was at most a dozen yuan. This wretched old man is really big-hearted. When he opened his mouth, the minimum price was five hundred, and he was yelling about antiques!

"Young man, it's not wrong to not understand antiques, but it's your fault to laugh at antiques!"

Seeing Zhang Xiang holding a crutch in one hand, the wretched old man's tall and straight body looked weird, and his handsome facial features, coupled with a broken leg, made people feel a pity, God is really unfair!

"Antique, which one of these is an antique? 500 yuan, I bought it!" Zhang Xiang didn't want to say more at first, but was provoked by the old man, and the grievance he had received for several days broke out, and he really got on with this wretched old man.

With his unique vision, he could tell that not only were there no antiques in this stall, but all of them were fakes.

Let's say that the jade bracelet that seems to have been buried in the soil is just acrylic and glass processed under high pressure. The color is good and the weight is enough, but a fake is a fake.

Zhang Xiang is really gambling, none of the things on this stall are real!

"Fake antiques, why do you need 500 yuan!" The girl who was looking at the pendant didn't go far away, she was still thinking about something with her ears pricked up, and now she couldn't help but said something.

"Yes, fakes are the price of fakes, why is it so expensive!"

"If it wasn't for this young man's knowledge, we would have been deceived, 500 yuan, so black!"

"Fake ones look pretty, why don't you sell them to me for five dollars and take them home to coax your son!"

There were quite a few people waiting for the bus on the side of the road, and they were idle too. Everyone was chattering, and the wretched old man he was talking about no longer had that mysterious appearance!

But Zhang Xiang was also very speechless, these people really dare to think about the 500 yuan antique, thinking that the antique is Chinese cabbage!

"Young man, what you just said is serious, are you willing to buy one for five hundred yuan?" The wretched old man opened his cloudy eyes and laughed.

"As long as you have that kind of thing, isn't it 500 yuan? If you don't have antiques, don't shout about selling antiques, I'm going to get on the bus soon!" Zhang Xiang watched the crowd getting more and more crowded, thinking about the shuttle bus to Guanmiao Got to go!

"Look at this thing!" The old man took out a piece of good-quality jade from an old box next to it, and handed it to Zhang Xiang.

"Huh!" Zhang wanted to see Na Yu, who looked like a naive monkey on the surface, holding a big peach on a peach tree, his tentacles gave off a slight chill.

Although the monkey's eyes were small, it was very expressive. The texture of the peach tree was clearly visible. The two peaches on the tree seemed to be alive. This is definitely not acrylic and glass.

This is definitely a piece of jade, and it is really ancient jade, but how old the jade is is not something that Zhang Xiang can determine in a few minutes.

"Young man, do you think this thing of mine is an antique? I'm afraid you won't be willing to pay 500 yuan!" The old man Gao deliberately provoked him with a teasing remark, and the eyes of the onlookers looked at Zhang Qiqi. think.

"This is real ancient jade, 500 yuan, I bought it!" Zhang Xiang was unambiguous, although the old man tricked him, but at least this piece of jade was real, and it didn't matter whether it was worth it or not.How can I say that compared to what happened in the past few days, this calculation is nothing!

Zhang Xiang really took out 500 yuan and handed it to the old man.

"Get in the car in Guanmiao Town, let's go!" At this moment, the car started, and he held up the abduct and walked away unhappily. He didn't have time to put the piece of jade in his bag, so he put it in his trouser pocket, and finally squeezed into the car.

"Master, slow down, my hand is caught!" The shuttle bus to Guanmiao is an old-fashioned manual door-closing car. Zhang Xiang took a step slower, his coat was caught, and he pulled it with his hands, but his hands were also caught. up.

"I'm sorry, my son, I'm not hurt!" The driver who was driving heard that someone was caught, so he hurriedly stopped the car and asked.

"It's okay, it's just a little bit of skin!" Zhang Xiang had blood stains on his right hand, thinking that there was still a little tissue in his trouser pocket. After finding a place to sit down, he reached in with his right hand to touch the tissue, but he didn't know that the blood on his hand was stained a lot. On that piece of jade.

"This broken car, please forgive me, I really don't have the money to buy a new car!" The driver was also very sorry, and said with a smile,

"It's all right!" As soon as Zhang Xiang spoke in dialect, the driver heaved a sigh of relief and started the car immediately.

Looking out of the car window, I saw the old man happily accepting the money and pointing at him from time to time, fearing that he was using him as an advertisement for buying jade!

"I bought it but didn't sell it!" Now the old man's fake antique will always coax two people!

Sitting in the car, Zhang Xiangren touched his injured leg, but his thoughts drifted far away.

In a downtown area of ​​the provincial capital, there are many pedestrians and busy traffic, and the entire road is a large parking lot.Zhang Xiang sat bored in the taxi, constantly checking the time.

The ringtone of "My Wife is the Biggest" was a little blurry under the background noise. Zhang Xiang still had a reflex and immediately picked up the phone.

"Zhang thinks you don't want to mess around anymore. Mr. Yao of Innovation Company has urged you several times, but your design draft has not been sent yet!" Chen Haojun, the manager of the design department on the phone, roared, and even the driver in front looked sideways.

"There is a traffic jam on the road, and there are still two stops, and we will be in innovation soon!" Zhang Xiang wiped off his sweat. For this design drawing, he has been staying up late for the past few days, trying to make changes, but he still cannot satisfy Mr. Yao!

"You're so stupid, you won't run over the traffic jam!" With Manager Chen's loud voice, the people in the office must know that he is being scolded again!

It was still the deserted and dusty road, and the hurried and anxious crowd didn't pay attention. On the sidewalk, there was Zhang Xiang who walked hurriedly, with a slightly elongated face, a slightly high nose bridge, and a straight and straight figure.

"Cross this road and you will arrive at Chuangxin!" He panted heavily, staying up all night under the high pressure for days and nights, which made him a little dazed.

After graduating from university last year, relying on his professional advantages, Zhang Xiang slashed his head and joined the current Huayi Lighting Trading Company as a graphic designer.

Huayi specializes in the lighting export business. In the past two years, there has been a downturn in foreign countries. Mr. Yao has some business thanks to his innovation. This is not a word from him. Zhang Xiang ran more than ten times.

"Five, four, three..." Zhang Xiang looked at the traffic lights, counting the time in his mind, and one foot had already stepped on the zebra crossing.

"How do you look at the road? You are looking for death!" There was a piercing voice in his ear, and a sharp pain came from his leg. Zhang wanted to look up, but found that his head was dizzy, he couldn't see anything clearly, and only one word was left in his head. "pain".

Zhang Xiang woke up again, lying on a hospital bed, Ziming, who had just joined the company, was looking at him with a bitter face.

"Brother Zhang, you finally woke up. The doctor said that your right leg is broken, and you are not in danger of dying for now!" Ziming just graduated from university and doesn't understand anything. Zhang Xiang has always been his teacher.

Zhang Xiang let out a "hmm", pains all over his body, it was difficult to turn over!

Smelling the strong fragrance of roses, Zhang Xiang immediately felt better.

I saw a tall, oval-faced, fair-skinned girl with brown-red eyebrow tattoos and red-purple lipstick coming in from the ward.

"Why are you so careless, will there be sequelae!" That girl is Huang Huanhuan, Zhang Xiang's girlfriend, who works as a clerk in another company.

Ziming knew Huang Huanhuan, and he had already slipped away when he saw her come in. He didn't want to be a light bulb!

"Huanhuan, come and sit here, I want to discuss something with you!" Zhang Xiang didn't like his girlfriend's tattooed eyebrows, but Huanhuan said that he didn't have eyebrows tattooed, so he was ashamed to go to work!

"What happened to me, why don't you rent a one-bedroom apartment in the neighborhood where you are looking at the house, so you can still live there and don't have to pay back the mortgage, how good it is!" He really couldn't make up the down payment.

"You asked me to tell my best friend that the house I got married in was rented, so I don't have the face to get married!" Huanhuan's voice couldn't help but a little higher. The house he was looking at last week was not expensive and the location was good. She also agreed to mortgage to buy a smaller second-bedroom apartment, how could this happen now!

"My salary is not high. The main reason is that I am really tired. Can I rent a house first?" Zhang Xiang coaxed Huanhuan softly. He really felt that the work pressure was too great, and it was unrealistic to buy a house now.

"Zhang Xiang, what do you mean? If you don't want to buy a house, why are you marrying me!" Huanhuan's voice was very sharp at this time, and she felt wronged. The blessings he cultivated in eight lifetimes!

"Please be quiet, this is the ward!" The nurse appeared in time and interrupted Huanhuan's prison.

"I have to go to work, I'm going back first!" Huanhuan looked at Zhang Xiang with a very ugly expression, left without looking back.

"Brother Zhang, why are you making sister Huanhuan angry!" Ziming poked his head out at this moment, and asked suspiciously.

"It's okay, she has such a childish temper, she will be fine in two days!" Zhang Xiang said nonchalantly, and forced himself to lean sideways against the wall, but his heart ached uncontrollably.

In the next two months, Huang Huanhuan never showed up again, and even his discharge procedures were handled by Ziming with his assistance.

With a cane in one hand, Zhang Xiang stared blankly at the company, feeling all sorts of feelings welling up in his heart.But the words of the financial manager sounded in his mind.

"Zhang Xiang, I also sympathize with you when something like this happened, but the driver who caused the accident refused to pay the money even though he was forced to die. The hospital also said that you are fine and just need to rest for two months. You should leave the hospital first and rent a place Stay here to recuperate first, and the company will give you paid leave, which is the best of humanity!"

Zhang Xiang's nose is very sore, so what if he finds a company and gets compensation for work-related injuries?

In the provincial capital, it is really difficult to find such a job!

In the talent market, there are many talents who are younger than him, have higher education, but have lower salary requirements than him!

Looking at Huanhuan's appearance, I haven't seen myself for several months. I originally thought about renting a house for him to take care of, but I'm afraid it will be a waste of time!I was not in a hurry to buy that house, so I simply went back to my hometown to rest for two months, so as not to rent the house and have no one to take care of it!

With the plan in mind, Zhang Xiang felt much more at ease. He booked the ticket, boarded the train, and got off the train. Although he was limping, he finally got on the car home.
