My tablet has become the palm of the antique tycoon

Antique shops originally had a small flow of people. After all, not everyone can afford tens of thousands or tens of millions of things.

Those who can come to Wanbaozhai to pick things up are either rich or expensive, and sometimes selling one or two items is enough to make a profit.

In addition, just after the new year, there were few people on the street, half an hour passed, and there was not a single customer in the store.

Seeing that no one came in, Ming Yi became more courageous, and took advantage of Cao Xuanhe's time when he was picking out antiques in the rest room, and floated to the front hall.

At the counter, Qiao Fan, the clerk, was sitting on a chair resting, resting his chin with one hand, staring at the screen of the phone with his round eyes, looking sunny and cute, very pleasing.

Speaking of this, Ming had already disliked him a long time ago, and once asked Sister Juan, why did Cao Xuanhe recruit such a good-looking boy as a shop assistant?

Sister Juan explained that Qiao Fan was a student raised with sponsorship from his master, and he always treated him like his own child.

"My own child?"

Ming Yi didn't understand, but Sister Juan just showed a meaningful look in her eyes, and didn't explain much.

Qiao Fan is also a conscientious child. After graduating from university, he said he would come to the store to help. Now he takes care of most of the things in the store, and he can be regarded as half of the store's small boss.

It is precisely because of him that the owner has been able to worry a little bit in the past few years, and can not come to the store for a few days or even dozens of days.

And usually there are many customers who come to the owner, Qiao Fan helped to block most of them back.

After Ming Yi heard it, he was even more unhappy, but now his relationship with Cao Xuanhe has eased a bit, and he doesn't dare to offend people indiscriminately. At most, he feels a little unhappy when he sees Qiao Fan talking to Cao Xuanhe.

He withdrew his gaze from Qiao Fan and began to look at the decorations in the store.

Counting the time, Ming Yi has not been in the store for more than ten days, and many new items have been added to the counter, and one of the ornaments, Ming Yi looks very familiar.

They are a pair of koi lake ornaments, one of which is exquisitely carved, bright in color, and well preserved, and the other has a few scratches, and the color is a bit darker. You can see blood stains on it.

It's just that the strong resentment is gone, it is estimated that Cao Xuanhe took the contents inside.

Speaking of which, it was thanks to this thing that he was able to see Cao Xuanhe in the wilderness late at night, so Ming Yi had a good impression of it.

After walking around, Ming Yi floated back to the rest room. Seeing that Cao Xuanhe was still holding various things and looking at it in the sunlight, he could only hide in a dark corner and watch aggrievedly.

Ming Yi stayed quietly for a while, watched him put down his things, took a sip of tea, rested for a while, and asked, "Boss Cao."

"Ok?"

"Did you accept the ghost in the koi lake decoration outside?"

"Ah."

After Cao Xuanhe finished answering, he was slightly taken aback, and asked, "A koi lake ornament?"

Ming nodded: "Yes."

Cao Xuanhe frowned, got up and walked around the screen, walked to the front hall, looked around, and his eyes fell on the ornaments in the glass counter.

"Jovan."

"Huh?" Qiao Fan put down his phone and stood up: "What's wrong, boss?"

Cao Xuanhe clicked on the glass cabinet: "Bring me this koi swimming in the lake ornament."

"it is good,"

As he spoke, he took out the key, opened the cabinet door, took out the pair of ornaments, and handed them to Cao Xuanhe.

"This thing stayed."

"Oh, I know."

Cao Xuanhe took it to the rest room and placed it on the shelf.

Ming Yi asked curiously, "Why didn't you sell it? Is there anything special about it?"

Cao Xuanhe: "Stained with blood, it's worthless."

Ming Yi: "Oh, but can't the other half be sold for tens of thousands more?"

Cao Xuanhe hummed, and explained lightly: "This pair of swimming ornaments in the lake is actually a container for nourishing yin. The reason why the ghost can withstand being soaked in black dog blood and exposed to the scorching sun is all due to the fact that there is a shady place inside. In the future, you will be injured. Yes, you can hide inside to recuperate, which is better than the Yin Gathering Bottle."

The polyyin bottle is that thumb-sized black bottle.

Ming Yi pursed his lips and said dissatisfied: "I won't get hurt easily, besides, it's been soaked in black dog blood, so I don't want to go in."

Cao Xuanhe raised his hand and knocked on another bright red delicate koi ornament: "This one belongs to you."

Ming Yi heard the words, smiled, and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

Cao Xuanhe rested enough, sat back on the chair again, and continued to study the pile of gadgets.

During the day, Ming Yi's energy was obviously sluggish, and he was bored and sleepy, so he simply hid in the bottle in Cao Xuanhe's pocket and went to sleep.

When he woke up again, it was already dark outside.

Ming Yi came out of the bottle and found that the surrounding environment had changed, from Cao Xuanhe's antique shop to his home.

On the way back, Cao Xuanhe probably went to the supermarket, bought a lot of fruits and vegetables, and put them in the refrigerator.

Seeing this, Ming Yi suddenly remembered that he hadn't called that aunt yet, so he hurriedly took out his mobile phone and called her.

Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the ghost market in the south of the city is very lively. The aunt was wandering in the ghost market, and ran over shortly after answering the phone.

Ming Yi formally introduced the two to each other, asked Cao Xuanhe to arrange the daily work and his taboos for Aunt Yang, and then signed the master-servant contract harmoniously.

Ming Yi has a good vision, and Aunt Yang Hong's cooking skills are excellent. The kitchen door is closed and the fragrance will not be affected.

For dinner, Cao Xuanhe was not stingy, seeing that Ming wanted to eat, he helped him fill a portion of rice, and gave him half of the food, letting him smell the aroma to satisfy his hunger.

After dinner, Aunt Yang took the initiative to clean up the mess.

Ming Yi saw Cao Xuanhe got up and went to the balcony, and followed him like a follower.

I have to say that Cao Xuanhe's life is really boring, even more boring than a little ghost living in the underworld. He stays at home every day, either reading books or cleaning, dishing, watering flowers. He is still very young, how can he live like a couple? A ten-year-old retired man.

Ming Yi leaned on the sliding door of the balcony, crossed his arms and said, "Cao Xuanhe."

The person whose name was called raised his eyes and asked him what he was doing?

Ming Yi: "How old are you this year?"

Cao Xuanhe: "Why do you ask this?"

Ming Yi: "I suspect that you are an old antique who traveled back in ancient times. At your age, shouldn't you like disco dancing in bars and games on the sofa?"

Why do I like pan skewers and reading books every day, and they are all those obscure books.

Ming Yi secretly read the titles of the books, all of them were books that he had never heard of before, and the content inside became sleepy after reading it for a while, and he didn't know how Cao Xuanhe read it with gusto.

Cao Xuanhe: "Not interested."

Ming Yi: "Then do you like boys?"

Cao Xuanhe frowned and glanced at him again.

Ming Yi realized that he asked a bit abruptly, coughed lightly: "I mean you..."

"do not like."

One sentence interrupted Ming Yi's subsequent explanation.

Mingyi's eyes flashed, and he opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Cao Xuanhe was watering the flowers, and suddenly added: "Girls don't like it either."

"what?"

"I like being alone."

For some reason, Ming Yi was secretly delighted when he heard him say that.

"That……"

He wanted to say that was good, but Cao Xuanhe's cell phone vibrated suddenly, blocking his words.

The person who called was Boss Shen, who came to announce the good news that his old lady and daughter were awake and in good spirits.

"Thank you, Boss Cao!"

Cao Xuanhe: "You're welcome."

Mr. Shen: "Boss Cao, this morning my mother... the old lady has a weird temper when she is getting old, and sometimes it is easy to not distinguish right from wrong. I hope you don't take offense."

Cao Xuanhe: "It's fine."

Anyway, the old lady has already paid the price for her actions.

"Later I told her too, and she also realized that she was wrong. It's just that she is getting old, and she wants to lose face, so I will take the old lady to apologize to you."

"Ah."

"By the way, Boss Cao, I still want to ask, what kind of evil has my daughter been haunted by?"

Cao Xuanhe replied truthfully: "A few starving ghosts."

"Ah!" Mr. Shen exclaimed: "How could you get into trouble with this kind of thing!"

"Will it affect her body in the future?"

Cao Xuanhe: "There will be, but it will not affect much. Tomorrow you can go to my shop and get a few exorcism talismans for your family to take with you. You have been in close contact with little ghosts, and your body is full of yin, which is easy to attract evil spirits. If you find it troublesome You don’t have to take it, just get more sun exposure during the day to increase the yang energy.”

"Take it, take it, I'll go to your store tomorrow morning."

"Ah."

Cao Xuanhe was too lazy to be polite, and was about to hang up the phone when Ming Yi, who was leaning against the glass door of the balcony, came over suddenly: "Boss Cao, ask him, where did the girl happen?"

Maybe the surrounding area is the exit where the ghost escaped the starving ghost from the underworld.

Cao Xuanhe heard the meaning of his words, and conveyed the words to the other party: "Boss Shen, can I ask the approximate time and place of your daughter's accident?"

Boss Shen hissed, thought about it, and said: "The time of the accident was the fourth day of the first lunar month. We were celebrating the New Year at her grandmother's house in the countryside. She ran out to play with a few children, and she started crying when she came back at noon. We didn't pay much attention at first, and just said that the food will be ready soon."

"As a result, Miko didn't listen at all, and kept shouting that he was hungry, and even grabbed the prepared meal and stuffed it into his mouth. My wife beat her for this and reprimanded Miko for not being disciplined."

"But even when she was beaten, Miko kept stuffing food into her mouth. After a while, she emptied two dishes. We realized something was wrong and took her to the hospital quickly."

"But the county hospital didn't find any results. Miko kept shouting that she was hungry. Grandma Miko wondered if she ran into something evil when she ran out to play. She even called the village witch to call her soul, but it didn't work at all. , one can't see, she keeps stuffing things into her mouth."

"We have no choice but to go back to Qinglin City, go to the provincial hospital for gastric lavage, and find you by the way to see what's going on."

Ming Yi: "...so where is the address?"

Cao Xuanhe coughed lightly, and repeated: "Where is the exact address of your mother-in-law's house?"

"Qili County, east of Qinglin City, Qijia Village."

After hanging up the phone, Ming Yi took out his mobile phone and secretly sent a message to Grandpa while Cao Xuanhe was not paying attention.

Send the address that Mr. Shen mentioned, and ask him to send a few ghost messengers to check around there.

The author has something to say:

Cao Xuanhe: Is there an extra spy by your side?

Ming Yi: Bah, this is a good thing for me to save sentient beings and accumulate virtue.
