I am not repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City

When Tao Xiu heard what Zhong Qi said, he didn't know what expression to put on for a moment, he just looked at Zhong Qi in a daze.

Zhong Qi took a deep breath, and pulled out a little girl from behind.

The girl was about seven or eight years old, wearing a pink veil dress, her hair was tied into two round buns on her head, and she was watching them messing with her sleeves in panic and fear, and the whole sleeve was covered It's a mess.

"What is this?" Tao Xiu felt that his throat was a little dry.

Zhong Qi pulled the little girl to sit beside him, looked at her with admiration, and said: "Zhong Ling."

"What?" Tao Xiu didn't understand.

Zhong Qi rolled his eyes at him: "Why are you still so stupid, Zhong Ling, Zhong Ling, the spirit born from the clock!"

Tao Xiu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and after a long time he growled in a low voice: "Why can you speak so naturally?"

Zhong Qi took it for granted, "I've seen it before, but I've never seen such...an antique..."

"Where did you see it?" Tao Xiu looked like he had seen a ghost.

Zhong Qi frowned and said, "I haven't told you? Do you still remember an old man who used to drive a BMW to ask me to fix his watch?"

Tao Xiu thought for a long time before he remembered such a person. That old man lived far away, and he brought a very ordinary watch. The watch was already damaged. He didn't know where to find out about his master. Tao Xiu came across several provinces to look for him. Tao Xiu still remembers the suggestion he made at that time that there was no need to repair the watch, but after seeing it, his master took it over without saying a word and repaired it for a day and a night, barely maintaining the watch. up and running.

"Don't tell me about that watch..." Tao Xiu didn't know how to continue.

"Yes, his watch was left to him by his father. He kept it with him when he went to the army. It has a bell, but the bell is dying, and he thinks it's because the watch is about to break. , but in fact Zhong Ling is really dying, so I helped to take a look!"

"..."

Zhong Qi thought for a while and said: "There is also the old clock from Xiaohua's family in the next village, and the little alarm clock that you stole from my house and broke..."

Tao Xiu stared at him with wide eyes.

Zhong Qi said with a smile: "Okay, I'm lying to you, I don't see much, but that old man is real, and that's when I realized that clocks and watches can really give birth to things like spirits."

Tao Xiu still looked at Zhong Qi.

Zhong Qi said impatiently: "What kind of expression is that on your face? I'm just a watch repairer. Don't look at me like a monster. I raised you so big that you don't even have the ability to accept it?"

"...I can accept it." Tao Xiu replied sullenly.

Only then did Zhong Qi turn his head to look at the little girl in satisfaction, the little girl looked at them timidly, turned around and climbed to sit on a high chair beside her as if she wanted to avoid their eyes for a long time.

"So this is..." Tao Xiu decided to ask first.

Zhong Qi's expression became serious, he looked at the little girl and said, "What did you tell me there just now? Tell this big brother."

The little girl immediately became nervous, and it took a long time before she whispered: "Then you promise to help me find the master."

"Didn't I agree!" Zhong Qi raised his eyebrows again as he spoke, thinking that the other party was a seven or eight-year-old girl, so he reluctantly endured it.

Only then did the little girl feel relieved, but she seemed to be afraid of something and said hesitantly: "I know that Qintang, he is not a good person!"

Tao Xiu was shocked.

"I also remember you, you are the only one who took him out, everyone before you was scared crazy by him!" The little girl whispered, "Because of his presence, I dare not come out at all..."

"What do you mean?" Tao Xiu asked strangely, he remembered that Qin Tang told him that he was the only one who could see him...

Little Zhong Ling quickly shattered his fantasy: "We are free to choose whether to be seen by you or not. Although he is different from me, he should be like this too."

"What do you mean by being different?" Tao Xiu asked.

Zhong Qi said unhappily: "Is your point of attention not right?"

Tao Xiu ignored him and asked again.

Little Zhong Ling thought for a while and said, "I've existed on that clock since I first appeared. He doesn't seem to be. It's a bit like being forced into it..."

"...They sealed me in that pocket watch with sorcery, my body has long since ceased to exist..." Tao Xiu suddenly remembered what Qin Tang said, he did not lie to himself about this, Tao Xiu suddenly smiled optimistically .

After Xiao Zhongling finished speaking, he disappeared, and Zhong Qi took out a small pocket watch from his pocket. The green agate on the surface of the pocket watch was slightly fluorescent.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Zhong Qi put the small pocket watch back into his pocket, and said to Tao Xiu who was still in a daze, "You heard it too, you are not the only one who was deceived by that Qintang, but you are The only one who got tricked!"

"I don't quite understand." Tao Xiu suddenly looked at Zhong Qi seriously, "Master, when you accepted me, you told me that I was destined for this business, maybe this is my fate, why did you not want to believe it from the beginning? Woolen cloth?"

Zhong Qi went crazy and said: "I was lying, I just wanted to see you as if you could help me with work!"

Tao Xiu looked at him and said nothing.

Zhong Qi paused, and his expression became serious: "It's not that I don't want to believe him, it's just that you have to make sure that he is worthy of being trusted. I'm afraid you'll get hurt, oh why are you so stubborn!"

It took Tao Xiu a long time to sigh: "...I like him so much."

Zhong Qi was shocked by these words, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
