Predecessors

Chapter 59 Shuiyao Town

When the roar of the train stopped, Lin Yi also woke up from his sleep.

Wang Ji tidied herself up today, how should I put it, it is extraordinarily antique.He was wearing a light blue gown, which made his face white as snow.

After getting out of the carriage, Lin Yi found himself stepping on the bluestone floor.He walked forward and found that there were a large number of houses with black nets and white bricks, and a small winding bridge that had been cut by the years.

Lin Yi finally knew why Wang Ji dressed like this, it was for the occasion.

Wang Ji took Lin Yi's hand and walked towards a path.There are shops on both sides of the road, and the path that can be walked is extremely narrow.Lin Yi and Wang Ji were shoulder to shoulder and their heads were very close.

Wang Ji said, "Uncle, don't you like antiques very much, there are quite a few here."

Lin Yi touched his pocket, expressing that he had no money.

Wang Ji thoughtfully took out a few tickets from her bag and handed them to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi said, "Where did you get the money?"

Xiangxiang on the side said proudly, "How about my drawing, is it exactly the same as the real one?" Faceless Man can draw facial features lifelike, and it is easy to draw a Grandpa Mao.

Lin Yi hurriedly stuffed the money into his pocket, for fear of being discovered by others.He lowered his voice, "How can you use counterfeit banknotes? It's illegal and confiscated."

Lin Yi and Wang Ji were tired from shopping, so they sat down at a dumpling shop.Both Lin Yi and Wang Ji are big men with big appetites.

What's more, Wang Ji used to be known as a fat black man. Although her appearance has changed, her appetite has not diminished.

Lin Yi ate twenty dumplings, and Wang Ji ate fifty.

It was the first time for the proprietress of the wonton shop to smile from ear to ear when she saw such a handsome and edible man who not only improved his appearance but also took care of his business.

After Lin Yi and Wang Ji were full, they looked at each other, "Miss Boss, can you pack a few more bowls?"

The proprietress was flattered, "Are my dumplings so delicious?"

Lin Yi glanced around, Xiangxiang and Smelly were not there, and he didn't know where to go to play.He quietly told the proprietress, "The main reason is that the food cooked by our chef is too unpalatable."

Can you imagine and make tofu that is as exquisite as crystal but tastes like a shoehorn?

The food made by Xiangxiang and Smelly, like their people, can only be seen but not used.

While Wang Ji and Lin Yi were having lunch, Xiangxiang dragged Smelly to play elsewhere.This is the first time they have seen the daytime world, and they are full of novelty about everything.

The two of them walked and stopped in front of the shop full of beautiful faces just now, touching here and there, as if they couldn't get enough of it.

Smelly picks up a wooden carving, shakes his head, "This horse is too unremarkable, it's not as good as mine."

When the boss heard this, he immediately pulled his face down. He was here to spoil the situation, "Go, go, buy it?"

Xiangxiang was also picking and choosing, "Boss, your carving skills need to be improved."

The boss's temper has come up, and he has to convince these two blind people today, "Let you see my treasure."

The boss carefully lifted the red cloth from a wooden sculpture, revealing the lifelike statue.The man on the statue has a messy head of hair, a square face, a buffalo upturned nose, and thick sausage lips.

Xiangxiang gave a pertinent evaluation, "It's so ugly, natural, vivid, and vivid."

The boss said proudly, "This is the masterpiece of the famous Mr. Li Qiuran."

Smelly said, "Who is this carved?" It looks really shabby.

The boss said, "This sculpture is the most valiant General Wang Ji in the sky, and it expresses Mr. Li's reverence for the general."

Xiangxiang and Smelly looked at each other, "..."

Xiangxiang said, "I laughed so hard, let's buy it back and show it to the general himself?"

Smelly scratched his head, "But the money on us is fake, and the general's family won't let us use it."

Xiangxiang said, "What are you afraid of? God knows what you know and I know."

When Xiangxiang presented the statue to General Wang Ji, he clearly saw a gloomy look on the general's usually calm face.

When he saw his name engraved on the bottom, his face became even uglier.

Smelly still desperately called Lin Yi to come and see, "Look, this is their human general."

Lin Yi looked at the indescribable appearance of the sculpture, and at Wang Ji's stunning face, and suddenly felt that he had a deeper understanding of beauty and ugliness.

Lin Yi comforted Wang Ji, "This is abstract art, and it's normal to be a little different from real people."

Lin Yi helped Wang Ji, and walked on the bluestone road to digest food.

Wang Ji said, "Uncle, I remembered that when I went to the Qingmenghui with you, there were also many quaint streets and alleys there. We just walked around the street holding hands like this."

Lin Yi jokingly said, "I hope I won't be hunted down like last time."

As soon as the words fell, several loud and short voices came from behind, "Stop, stop."

Lin Yi glanced back, and several people in police uniforms were chasing after them.

No way, carry it like this.Whatever you say.

The policemen passed Lin Yi and Wang Ji, and grabbed the arms of Xiangxiang and Smelly.

Lin Yi said worriedly, "What happened to them?"

The antique boss just caught up, and he angrily took out the money in his pocket, "They used a lot of counterfeit banknotes and defrauded me of my treasure."

Xiangxiang and Smelly looked at Lin Yi with a guilty conscience.

Lin Yi glared at them for a while with a look of hatred for iron and steel, and then winked at Wang Ji again—trying to save people.

Wang Ji moved her hand quietly, but no one noticed that the counterfeit banknotes in the pocket of the antique boss had been swapped.When he was done, he gave Lin Yi an OK gesture.

Lin Yi understood, "Boss, take a closer look at the money in your hand, whether it is real or fake."

The antique owner said, "I've been in this business for so many years, and I can still misidentify the money." Having said that, he held up a piece of money to the sun and looked carefully, this time he saw a thin silver edge.

The expression on the antique boss's face was a little hesitant, which was obviously not there when I looked at it just now.He hurriedly called the policeman, "Comrade policeman, I'm sorry, I was dazzled just now, and I made a mistake."

The police let go of Xiangxiang and Smelly, and educated the antique owner, "I will call the police after confirmation."

The owner of antiques said embarrassedly to Xiangxiang, "I'm sorry, I almost wronged you two."

Lin Yi quietly asked Wang Ji, "Where did you get so many real money?"

Wang Ji said, "I took it from the second cabinet on the left in the boss's shop."

Lin Yi looked at the boss sympathetically, "I hope he can find out later."

The corner of Wang Ji's mouth is slightly hooked, who told you to uglify my image? It's still in front of the person he cares about the most.This punishment is considered light.

While walking towards the train, the group passed the alley full of shops again.

Lin Yi was surprised to find that there are really many fairy statues here.It's just that most of them are thousands of miles away from their own image.

Wang Ji asked maliciously, "Do you have Bing Ke?"

The boss took out a statue from the shop, handsome and star-eyed, one of the few statues with his own charm.

Wang Ji thought of her own statue, and silently made another note to the antique owner in her heart.

Lin Yi thought it was very interesting, and asked the boss to introduce those fairy statues to him one by one.

The boss said enthusiastically, "This barefoot, as the name suggests, is a barefoot fairy."

"The one holding a dust whisk in his hand is the Taishang Laojun."

……

It was rare for Lin Yi to find a woman in a group of men, and she was not annoying, very conspicuous, "Who is this?"

The boss said with a smile, "This is General Wang Ji's wife, Fairy Bixia."

The expression on Lin Yi's face was very stiff, he didn't know, did Wang Ji already have a wife in heaven?

The boss said, "About General Wang Ji and Fairy Bixia, there are still many touching love stories among the people."

Lin Yi suddenly lost his mood. After he separated from Wang Ji, he never looked for anyone else.He also took it for granted that Wang Ji should also remain faithful to this relationship.

It seems that he is too self-indulgent.

Lin Yi quietly glanced at Wang Ji, who was talking to Xiangxiang and Smelly, and didn't notice his side, so he said to the boss, "How much is the statue of this fairy, I bought it."
