The handsome man in the entertainment industry

And the dagger, I want it. "

"This……"

The shopkeeper's face was wrinkled like a dehydrated orange, "The price is still a bit low!"

"I'm afraid it's not too low?"

Xiao Xiao raised her eyebrows, "Boss Yuan, I'm afraid you know that the dagger must have been washed with salt water and buried in wet soil for several months. It must have been made old on purpose! There is no inscription on the blade, and the hilt is only modern. I'll pay this price for a fake product, and you won't lose money."

"This, this..."

Seeing that Xiao Xiao exposed the inside story of the iron dagger's hands and feet in front of a young man, the shopkeeper's face suddenly became a little uncomfortable. He wiped the cold sweat from his face, and his sharp mouth was jammed for a while.

"Okay then! Then we will give you both the internal price we just agreed on!" Finally he struggled for a minute before making a decision, "Do you want our store to deliver the goods to your door? Or pick up the goods directly now Woolen cloth?"

"Take it now."

Xiao Xiao smiled with his signature crooked eyes, "It's just such a small thing, my little apprentice can still handle it."

"So, what you want is actually this dagger?"

When Xiao Xiao told him the truth when he came out of "Lai Lai Zhai", Ruan Mudeng suddenly realized.

"Well, you can't say that..."

Xiao Xiao blinked, "It's been a lot of convenience for Yiming recently. Although I know him very well, I still have to express my gratitude. That washing brush can be regarded as a gift I picked for him."

"Oh……"

It turned out to be a gift for Film Emperor Bai, Ruan Mudeng felt sour in his heart.

"Yuan Laohu's vision is still good. This wash sale of 20 is quite fair. I didn't take advantage of it, and he won't suffer a loss."

Ruan Mudeng nodded, thinking that crossing his thumb and index finger meant "20".

"However, what you wanted to see at first was the dagger, right?"

"Correct."

Xiao Xiao nodded her lips, "Did you look at that dagger just now?"

Ruan Mudeng opened his eyes wide, he never expected such a show, and naturally he had never seen it.

"Actually, the dagger is an object from the Ming Dynasty. There is nothing special about the age and craftsmanship. In terms of the collection value of 'antiques', it is almost worth the price I just gave."

Xiao Xiao explained with a smile: "However, it is a real killing blade."

"what……"

Ruan Mudeng let out a soft cry, "So that's it!"

The so-called "killing blade" is a sharp weapon that has actually seen blood and killed people.

Generally speaking, if you have seen a blade of blood, especially if you have drunk human blood, the resentment of the deceased will adhere to the blade and become a kind of evil spirit, which will not disappear even after thousands of years.The killing blade has a natural deterrent effect on ghosts and ghosts, and its special value is far better than the value of the antique itself for people who learn Taoism.

"So when you go to the antique shop in the future, open your eyes and observe carefully."

Xiao Xiao smiled and pinched the pretty face of her good apprentice again, "We have abilities that ordinary people don't have, and we can really pick up 'leaks'."

The two walked and chatted like this, passed through the specially preserved stone street, and soon came to the intersection of Jinshui Street.

At the entrance of Jinshui Street, there is a big banyan tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, thick shade like a cover, and dense air roots hanging down to the ground. It is said that the tree is more than 300 years old.This tree is a city-level cultural relic on weekdays. Its trunk is surrounded by municipal railings and carefully protected. Red silk, red ropes and small locks are hung on the railings. It is said that they were all hung up by devout men and women nearby who are looking for marriage and education. .

When Ruan Mudeng and Xiao Xiao passed the banyan tree, they happened to meet someone burning incense in front of the tree.

A couple of young couples were kneeling under the canopy holding a small baby, kowtowing to the tree roots. Next to them was an old man in a long coat and cloth shoes, holding three sticks of incense in his hand, Muttering words, it seems that some ceremony is being held.

"What were they doing?"

Ruan Mudeng moved closer to Xiao Xiao's ear and asked softly.

Xiao Xiao glanced at it, and replied: "This is 'recognition of Qi's mother'."

Ruan Mudeng blinked in confusion, waiting for his master to explain to him in detail.

"Well, the way you say it should be 'Bai Ganma'."

Xiao Xiao thought about it.

"Some children with too young horoscopes are prone to misfortunes and illnesses when they are young, and they are prone to die young. The fortune teller will suggest that they worship a godfather or godmother, in order to use the fortune of the noble person to eliminate disasters and 'guarantee' them to grow up safely. ; There are also some people with relatively special fate, such as double positive fortune and double partial fortune, double positive seal and double partial seal of fate, worshiping godfather and godmother is also one of the means to resolve polygamous bigamy, double father and double mother fate."

As he spoke, he pointed to the big banyan tree that had fallen behind the two of them, "Generally speaking, most of the candidates for godfather and godmother are relatives and friends who are lucky or lucky, but some people will go to worship a god Or natural things as their godmother, for example, those who lack wood in the eight characters and five elements, will let the baby recognize an ancient tree as a godmother like them."

"So that's how it is..."

Ruan Mudeng nodded.

While the two were chatting, they came to the parking lot. Ruan Mudeng put away the big and small bags in his hands, and then sat in the passenger seat, and then Xiao Xiao started the car.

"Speaking of which, I also knew a godfather when I was a child."

It was almost noon, and the road conditions on the section of the road turning from Jinshui Street to the third ring road were not very good. The cars stopped and went, and while waiting for the red light, Ruan Mudeng was still thinking about the topic of confessing his relatives just now.

"Oh?"

Xiao Xiao looked at him sideways.

"When I was six years old, I once slipped into the mountains in the middle of the night, and after returning home, I fell seriously ill."

Ruan Mudeng's voice was very soft, as if he was immersed in the memories of the past, "At that time, Granny Wen Mi in the village saw it and said that I was overly frightened and scared out of my soul in the mountains, so my father told me to hurry up. Find me a godfather, and the two of you can help me call Hun'er together."

"and then?"

The signal light turned green, Ruan Mu put the light in gear, started the car, caught in the traffic, and moved forward slowly.

"According to our customs, at this time, we need to meet a 'destined person'. At that time, my father was carrying a high fever, and I was in a semi-comatose state. I was standing at the entrance of the village in the middle of the night. When I was the first person there, I grabbed him and begged him to recognize me as his son."

"Well, that's what it is."

Xiao Xiao nodded, "So, did that person agree?"

"At the time I was out of consciousness and I couldn't remember things clearly."

Ruan Mudeng looked at the bustling traffic outside the car window.

"However, my father told me that what we met was a young foreigner. It is said that Caifeng was passing by, and he entered the village in the middle of the night to find a place to stay. At that time, the man was stopped by a stranger. Of course he refused to agree at first, but later he did not know. What's the matter, maybe he couldn't stand my father's begging, or it was so pitiful to see me dying of illness, but in the end he still recognized me as his godson, and even went into the mountains overnight to help me call my soul..."

The young man paused, and then continued: "It's strange to say that after that night, my fever subsided, and after a few days, I recovered from my illness."

Xiao Xiao laughed, "After that, have you seen your godfather?"

"No."

Ruan Mudeng shook his head, "The man left the village the next day without leaving his name, and he never came back. I don't have the slightest impression of his appearance now."

"Haha."

Xiao Xiao laughed, "Ah Ruan, you are really a bit ruthless, that's your godfather, how can you just forget it."

Ruan Mudeng pursed his lips, looked at Xiao Xiao with obvious grievances in his eyes, "If possible, do I want to see him again... I haven't thanked him yet..."

Xiao Xiao didn't look sideways, and continued to drive, with a calm expression, "There will be a chance."

He said, "If you are destined, you will definitely meet again..."

Chapter 40, Six, Ear Report 04

Soon it will be New Year's Eve.

Hezi went back to his hometown in Northeast China last week, reunited with the hedgehogs from Grandma Bai's family, left Ruan Mudeng alone at Xiao Xiao's house, and told him to be cautious in his words and deeds during this period of time. You are allowed to go out alone, and you are not allowed to go to places where the feasting and feasting are easy to cause trouble.

In fact, there is no need to tell him, Ruan Mudeng's character is not the type who will get carried away and tremble when he has a little fame.What's more, in this city, he doesn't know many people, among whom he can be called "friends", he can count them with a single slap.

On the night of the 29th year, it snowed. Although it was not heavy, it stopped in the early morning, but when he got up early the next morning, Ruan Mudeng still took a broom and went to the balcony on the top floor to sweep the snow.

The temperature is only three degrees below zero. The young people have long been accustomed to practicing Sanjiu in winter and practicing Sanfu in summer.

When he came down after sweeping the snow, Xiao Xiao was wandering around the room, taking out from a big pocket the decorations she bought at some time, two strings of lanterns tied here, a lucky character pasted there, and a big orange that was half the height of a person There are more than a dozen red envelopes hanging on the tree.

"Well, it looks like a Chinese New Year atmosphere."

After working for a while, he retreated into the hall, admiring his masterpiece with his chin propped on one hand, and turned his head to see Ruan Mudeng, who had come back from the house, covered in cold air, and blurted out in surprise and reproach, "Aren't you cold in your clothes?" ?”

"Well, it's okay."

The room was well heated, Ruan Mudeng took off his thick padded coat, revealing a thin set of light gray regular clothes underneath, and smiled at his master,
