Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 114 Who can protect China’s treasures?

Since he had received an almost priceless treasure, Lin Ran stopped procrastinating on the road. When others called him to collect the rags, he quickly replied: "I won't collect them today. I'll come back in two days."

"Hey, is this rag collector still fake?" The villagers who were rejected were extremely unhappy.

Lin Ran was riding a flatbed bike with mixed feelings in his heart.

In fact, not only China is looking for the Arhat statue, but museums in other countries are also offering high rewards.

Because history often represents civilization. If a country's civilization is in the hands of others, it will definitely be humiliating.

Lin Ran did not go home or look for the seller, because once the Arhat statue in his hand was seen by others, especially foreign connoisseurs.

They will inevitably flock to it and try every means to bring it back to their own country.

Just like they did back then.

Although he wanted to protect Chinese civilization, Lin Ran also knew that his ability was far from enough to protect the Three Colored Arhat.

If this thing was stolen by a foreigner, wouldn't he become a national sinner?

Lin Ran smiled bitterly, saying it didn't matter if he was scolded, but if the Arhat statue was stolen, he would be restless in the future.

The economic foundation determines the superstructure, but he obviously does not have the ability to protect such a treasure now.

Therefore, he decided to find someone who could keep the Arhat statue and started searching in his mind.

Finally, a figure appeared in Lin Ran's heart.

Liulicang, Jianghua!

Although they only met once, Lin Ran was full of affection for him. Coupled with the legend of him that was circulated in the literary and entertainment circles of later generations, this man was definitely the best guardian of this Arhat statue in terms of character and ability!

After making up his mind, Lin Ran rode directly to Liulichang.

It was still early and the time was right. It was about to close the stall in the afternoon and it was not a busy time.

But Lin Ran was already a celebrity in Liulichang, so when he rode over, he still attracted a lot of attention.

"Brother Lin, are you dragging a cart full of goods to sell?"

"Can I see what's in your car?"

"Brother Lin..."

Lin Ran ignored them and just said: "They are just waste paper boxes, nothing interesting to see."

He parked the car at the entrance of Liulifang, locked the car, and entered the Liulifang store directly.

Standing at the entrance of Liulicang were two welcoming ladies, who smiled at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran explained: "Sisters, please help me keep an eye on my car. There are very important things inside and they cannot be taken away."

"Yes." Although the receptionist thought that Lin Ran was wearing ordinary clothes, people in this industry could wear all kinds of clothes.

Some of them were dressed in rags, but they still touched Colonel Jin, and they held the toys in their hands that others couldn't even think of.

So he agreed wholeheartedly.

Lin Ran walked into Liulifang and went straight to the cabinet.

The waiter behind the counter saw that he looked poor and indifferent, and asked: "Little brother, what do you want to do when you come to our Liulicang?"

Their business is nothing more than buying and selling.

The kid in front of me didn't look like he could afford it, so he thought that Lin Ran was here to sell something.

But judging from the way he was dressed and the fact that he came empty-handed, it obviously didn't look like he had anything good.

It's already around 4 o'clock, which is when get off work is about to get off, and it's easy for staff to fish in troubled waters.

That's why the guy seemed extremely unwilling.

Who knew that Lin Ran shouted directly: "Hello, I'm here to see Master Jiang Hua."

Lin Ran said politely that although Jiang Hua was the big shopkeeper, others would be happier if he called him master in the circle, so he called him master Jiang Hua.

But this title can only be used between acquaintances. Most people still have to call Jiang Hua the big shopkeeper.

Hearing this, the guy suddenly became unhappy.

He worked under Master Leng Xuan, and he might not always see Jiang Hua. The young boy in front of him would call Jiang Hua's name when he came over.

"Who are you? Do you also match our boss's name?" The waiter showed contempt.

"I have something very important, and I must go to Master Jiang Hua." Lin Ran looked very sincere.

Seeing Lin Ran's anxious look, the guy felt even more proud.

Sitting in the store, he is a low-end clerk who usually doesn't have much time. Seeing the anxious looks of these customers can bring him some fun.

He was even more calm and said with a smile: "Go, go, go, what kind of young boy wants to see our boss? Go somewhere cool and rest."

The clerk issued an eviction order.

Lin Ran then remembered that the last time he came to Liulifang, it was mainly because of the face of Yang Jianlong's father-in-law Zheng Xueming that Jiang Hua came forward to appraise it.

For an ordinary person like him, when he usually comes to the store, it is good to have a waiter to greet him.

But the matter was imminent, and Lin Ran ignored the etiquette and said, "I'm not interested in joking with you. I have something very important in my hand that must be handed over to Master Jiang Hua."

"Okay, then show me the things." The man spread his hands.

How could Lin Ran bring the one-meter-tall Arhat statue directly to the store.

What's more, the more people who see it, the greater the risk of leaks.

"Brother." Lin Ran cupped his fists and said, "Can you please inform Master Jiang Hua and ask Lin Ran to see you?"

Lin Ran thought to himself that he was somewhat famous in Liulichang, and maybe reporting his name would make the other party think highly of him.

As a result, the guy laughed wildly.

"Are you Lin Ran?" He looked up and down, then frowned: "Brother Lin is a talented person. He wears ordinary clothes but also has a scholarly spirit. Look at you, what is the difference between you and a rag collector? Do you think of us? The scrap collection station is here.”

At this moment, another guest entered Liulicang.

The waiter put away his sarcastic expression and said to Lin Ran: "You'd better leave quickly. Don't force me to find someone to drive you out."

He was off to other people's business.

Only then did Lin Ran understand what it means for a scholar to meet a soldier. He couldn't explain why. He was originally going to collect rags today, but he happened to receive a priceless treasure. He wanted to come to Jiang Hua to share this joy, and by the way, he handed over the treasure to Jiang Hua. He comes to protect.

Unexpectedly, he was misunderstood by the waiter because of his clothes, so he lost the opportunity to meet Jiang Hua.

Lin Ran was very upset, but he had no choice but to smile bitterly and walked out of Liulicang with some disappointment.

"Brother Lin, please stay!" A rich voice came from behind.

Looking back, it was Master Leng Xuan, the master who received them last time!

Just now, Leng Xuan was appreciating the collection brought by the customer, so he didn't notice Lin Ran. Just after finishing the transaction, he heard the waiter say that a boy calling himself Lin Ran came to see the boss.

Only then did Leng Xuan notice Lin Ran stepping out of the door.

He and Jiang Hua had the same attitude towards this kind of talent, and they were extremely polite!

The other party's visit must be important, so he quickly chased after him.

Seeing that it was indeed Lin Ran, he even smiled and said: "Brother Lin, it was my fault in discipline, please forgive me!"
