Qian Tu Boundless [Rebirth]

Chapter 35. Antique City

Wanxianqiao Antique City is the third largest antique market in China. According to legend, a treasure was discovered here many years ago, attracting thousands of immortals to gather for the treasure, hence the name Wanxianqiao.

It is precisely because of this allusion that many dealers in the antique business like to carry all the antiques in a big cloth bag, and find a suitable place here to shop on the spot, and the business will start.

Because it is the weekend, which belongs to the day of the antique city market, many idlers, literati, antique dealers and a few foreign tourists gather here, and it is very lively.

However, Qian Tu was in no mood to continue shopping at this moment, and placed Grandma Qian in an open space next to the bridge railing, and Qian Tu rushed to find the direction when going back and forth.

Just crossing the bridge and not taking two steps, Qian Tu found that the vendors on both sides of the Wanxian Bridge had gathered at a stall on the left.

"Alas, have you heard that there was a snake in Lao Dong's shop!"

"I haven't heard of it, oh my dear, it must be more than two meters long!"

"I heard that the snake took away a piece of Old Dong's old material! It ran away after finishing it, like a snake spirit!"

Qian Tu heard the crowd of antique dealers discussing, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, may I ask, where is the snake you just mentioned?"

"Hey, kid, that snake is fierce and clever. Boss Dong and the others haven't caught it after so long, so don't come and join in the fun, and be careful not to be bitten." One of the vendors thought that Qian Tu was a child who was very curious. , Wanting to join in the fun, immediately corrected his face and made a reminder.

Qian Tu also understood that the other party was kind, but he was really not afraid of being bitten by a little black snake. He grabbed the sleeve of the vendor who answered the call, and said, "Uncle, to tell you the truth, my house just lost a black snake. With me around, it will listen to the greeting and not bite, but if I'm not around, I'm afraid of it..."

The vendor saw that the child in front of him was young, but his anxious face did not seem to be playful or fake, so he greeted an old man next to him and asked him to help keep the stall, then he happily ran to a small alley next to him with Qian Tu go.

Qian Tu felt that this person didn't seem to be leading him the way, but more like joining in the fun.

After entering the alley, Qian Tu realized that the alley itself was not narrow, but a row of paintings and calligraphy were hung on the trees on both sides of the alley. Looking at the stalls one by one and bargaining with the stallholders makes it difficult to walk the entire alleyway.

Qian Tu was dragged by the vendor before, but later, taking advantage of his height, he ran left and right in that direction and rushed to the front.

Not long after, Qian Tu found a yard deep in the alley.

There were a lot of people crowded around the gate of the courtyard, and Qian Tu could tell that his Xiao Wu had indeed appeared here without listening carefully.

He squeezed into the courtyard with his head depressed, and saw a group of people looking left and right, and there were three or four men in the courtyard rummaging around with sticks in their hands.

Looking around, there are two machines for polishing jadeite on the left side of the courtyard. Some jadeite scraps are still left on the protruding part of the machine. On the right side is a platform made of bricks. Further inside, there is a spacious main room. Qian Tu got closer and found a piece of blue-green jade the size of a wax gourd in the middle of the main room. The color is good and the water head is not bad. The shelves are supported in all directions, and the rough stones that have been opened through the window are neatly placed on them.

Qian Tu looked carefully for a long time, but found no trace of Xiao Wu. Just as he was wondering if Xiao Wu had left, he saw a black shadow rushing towards him with a "swoosh".

What followed was the sound of panicked footsteps.

"Ah! It's there! Get out of the way, kid!" With a scream, Qian Tu found himself being pushed away. When he managed to stabilize his figure, he saw a man wearing glasses The middle-aged man in the blue bib stood at a certain distance from Xiaowu and threw his stick at it.

Qian Tu, who couldn't squeeze over to protect the snake in time, prayed that Xiao Wu would dodge the stick smartly, and then raised his voice, "Uncle! Keep the snake under the stick! Keep the snake under the stick, keep the snake under the stick."

Qian Tu yelled all the way and rushed to the middle-aged man who was holding the stick, and grabbed the wooden stick he had dropped, preventing him from lifting it up again.

At this time, Xiaowu also slipped safely in front of Qian Tu again, because Xiaowu's body shape and color are really deceiving. A vacuum zone appeared around Tu, the uncle holding the stick, and Xiao Wu.

"Uncle, this snake is raised by my family. If you don't look after it, it disturbed you. I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry. Please calm down. If you don't remember the little snake, just let it go."

Qian Tu ignored Xiao Wu who was rubbing his head against him at his feet, and the sound of gasping around him, and apologized while hugging the wooden stick in the middle-aged man's hand.

The middle-aged man frowned and squeezed, and the word Chuan in the middle appeared two or three times before he threw down the wooden stick angrily and said, "What kind of snake does a kid raise! I don't know how to keep a snake! It just got caught in my mouth today." A stone, change it and bite me to see what you do!"

The man seemed to be angered by Xiaowu. Even though Qian Tu was careful to pay for it, he still looked bad, but his throwing the wooden stick also meant that he would not pursue the matter anymore. Then he went to look at the other big men next to him. The middle-aged man After throwing down the wooden sticks, they also put down the things in their hands one after another, obviously the middle-aged man was the leader.

Qian Tu felt relieved, and nodded, "Uncle, what you said is true, I was negligent, and I must look after it later."

"Hey, that's fine, return that stone to me, and take your snake and hurry away. It's really bad luck, and the business has been disrupted." The middle-aged man spat and waved to everyone: "Look! The excitement is gone, let it go!"

After finishing speaking, he greeted the door again, "Er Zhuang, you have to guard for me, and I will count it later. If I find that the stones are missing, I will ask you to make up for it."

After he made arrangements, Qian Tu realized that the place where the tip of Xiaowu's tail was wrapped twice was a stone.

And the reason why he squeezed in so easily, and the reason why so many people were allowed to squeeze in, was entirely because there were people guarding the door.

But... Is it really okay to keep it safe, count things, and speak out in front of so many people?

Of course, these were not about Qian Tu's business. He knelt down on the spot and looked at Xiao Wu with his head raised, and stretched out his hand and said, "Xiao Wu, give me the stone."

Then some people who hadn't exited the yard were surprised to find that the snake seemed to understand it, and shook its head very humanely.

The corner of Qian Tu's mouth twitched, and he tried to persuade again, "I'll cook two catties of pork belly for you tonight!"

Xiao Wu's tail loosened, and then the rough black leather stone the size of a bowl appeared in front of Qian Tu.

Qian Tu didn't pay attention when he was wrapped by it before, but now he saw that it was so big.

No wonder this rough stone was just wrapped by Xiaowu's tail. If the stone was smaller, Qian Tu reckoned that it would definitely have swallowed it in its first move. You can tell this guy from the undigested circle on its stomach They are essentially the same as Qian Dan - dare to put anything in your mouth!

Just as the stone was getting closer and closer to him, and Qian Tu had already reached out to grab it, Xiao Wu rushed up again, tightly wrapped the rough stone around his waist and abdomen, then hung his head... pretending to be dead.

No matter what Qian Tu said, it would stand still.

Qian Tu's face darkened, and he wanted to say to the boss: I don't want this snake anymore, whoever loves snake soup, dragon and phoenix soup will take it!

But before he could move, the tail of the snake came up, and the eyelids that hadn't moved for thousands of years drooped, and Qian Tu met those bright black eyes again.

Fuck!You are really going to be a snake spirit!

Qian Tu became irritable, but after being irritable, he had to smile apologetically at the staring boss, "Uncle, look...or you can sell me this stone."

The boss's face is even darker!This piece of material was originally a good piece of material he collected. Later, he opened the window and found that it was not as good as he expected, so he repaired it back. He planned to put it on the shelves after a while, but he did not expect to be dragged by that fat snake. After shaking it around, some places started to fall off.

I don't know how much the price will drop!

He wanted to take back the things as soon as possible to make up for it, but he didn't expect that the eyes of the people around him would involuntarily turn when the child spoke, and there were many experts among them.

If he sells it, he will definitely not be able to ask for too high a price. Let alone whether the child has so much money, even if he has, people around him will say that Dong Ziqiang bullies the child, but if the price is too low, he will not be happy in his heart, after all Although that piece of material is not very good, it is not bad. It is worth a few dollars to make a few ornaments by yourself.

Moreover, there is still a problem, that is, how long will the snake wrap around the stone?If the piece hasn't come out yet, the snake lets go of the stone, and the people around look at it again... This material has been tampered with!If it is spread, he will not be able to do business in the future!

But this time, if he doesn't sell it, the fat snake will be wrapped in the rough stone and the child will buy it to protect it. He really has nothing to do with this person and the snake.

Qian Tu also played stone gambling in his previous life, and found that the boss's expression was different, and recalled the appearance of the rough stone he had seen before, so there was nothing he didn't understand. Not to mention rolling the rough stone onto his instep, he was also completely wrapped around Qian Tu's leg. Qian Tu felt his foot was heavy, and his steps became much more difficult, but he was too lazy to bother with it. After limping, he came to the middle-aged boss, pulled him aside, and said flatteringly: "Uncle, I saw that stone before, and it was wrapped in skin later. But I believe you can see it too, my little one Wu really likes it, and I am willing not to hurt it, or you can just give me a real price, and I will just buy a toy for Xiao Wu, and promise not to let anyone know about it."

What Qian Tu said was old-fashioned, but the middle-aged man's face turned green, and he wanted to find a wooden stick to take this man out, but no matter how bad his mood was, no matter how violent his temper was, a person who had been in business for so long would understand In order not to hit the smiling face, he snorted twice and asked, "I'll just charge you 200 yuan! Can you get it out!"

Qian Tu thought for a while and said, "Uncle, two hundred is two hundred, but can we go inside and pay?"

The middle-aged man was a little surprised. This kid doesn't look very rich in clothes, but the 200 yuan, he will give it if he wants it?You must know that the workers in the water capital now earn only a hundred yuan a month.

Is it because of a stupid snake that this child bought rough stones with someone else's income of a month or two?
