Forbidden City

Chapter 71

I said angrily: "She doesn't recognize you anymore, what are you going to do? Let's go!" After saying that, I pushed Zhou Yuyong to go in another direction.Zhou Yuyong was reluctant to give up, and turned his head three times a step, but Ouyang Mei only left him a cold background, walked forward not far, got into a car, and left quickly.

Zhou Yuyong's weak heart was wounded again, and now he had a bitter face, it seemed that tears were about to flow down.It seems that men really don't shed tears lightly, just because they haven't reached the place where they are sad.

I couldn't stand it anymore, and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be like this, cheer up, some women are fierce horses, the weaker you are, the more she looks down on you. If you want to conquer her, you can only rely on bravery. You have to show your strength. Come with the courage of a man, overwhelm her with your charm, let her sing conquest at your feet."

"Conquer me!" Zhou Yuyong spit out.

I was speechless for a moment.

I searched again, and saw that there was indeed a grocery store at the entrance of an alley, but the name was not Dafa Grocery Store, but Renfa Grocery Store.I asked Zhou Yuyong, was there a Dafa grocery store here before?Zhou Yuyong said: "It was the family's hair. Later, the word in the middle was dropped, and it became a human hair."

No wonder, since this is the case, it is right.

After walking about 200 meters, at the end, I saw an antique shop called Gushe.The shop is not big, but the decoration is quite classic. After entering, there are also some old antiques inside, which are antique.An old woman in her 60s, with white temples and white horns, was sitting in front of a long cabinet, wearing a pair of presbyopic glasses, reading a book.The book has turned yellow, and it is probably an ancient book that has been around for a long time.

Obviously, the old woman is the owner of this antique shop.

Hearing the sound of our footsteps coming in, the old woman looked up at us, and I said straight to the point: "Old woman, I'll buy a tear glass."

The old lady looked me up slightly, didn't say anything, turned around and walked into the inner room, and after a while, came out again, holding a white thing like a wine glass and gently placed it in front of the long cabinet, and said slowly: "5000 yuan."

"What?" Zhou Yuyong and I were surprised at the same time.Zhou Yuyong blurted out: "This thing is worth five thousand? I don't read much, so don't fool me?"

The old woman lowered her head slightly, and shot a cold light at Zhou Yuyong from behind the lens. Zhou Yuyong's gaze met his, and she suddenly closed her mouth, silent like a cicada.I was also shocked by the fierce eyes of the old woman, knowing that this tear cup is not an ordinary thing, it is used to hold the tears of ghosts, so the price is naturally high.It's just that I don't have that much money with me now.

"Sorry, boss, isn't the price a bit high?" I tried to bargain.

The old woman had no expression on her face, she put away her tears without saying a word, turned around and walked towards the back room.I was stunned for a moment, this old woman has too much personality, which made me very embarrassed for a while.

Zhou Yuyong asked resentfully: "What do you want to buy that thing for? Are you collecting antiques?" I said you didn't understand, and seeing the old woman walked in, I hurriedly shouted: "Boss, I want it!"

After a while, the old woman came out, empty-handed.I said again: "I want the Teacup." The old woman said coldly, "I won't sell it." I was stunned for a moment, and laughed and said, "Just now we made a mistake and offended you. Please forgive me." Forgive me a lot, I really need that Tears Gong, please sell it to me."

"Not for sale." After saying these two words, the old woman picked up the old book she was reading and said coldly, "Please go back."

I was in a dilemma.

Zhou Yu said courageously: "If you don't sell it, don't sell it. What's so rare, isn't it just a broken cup? Is it really the emperor's urinal?" He dragged me to the door.I was not reconciled, so I looked at the old woman, and saw that the old man was still reading a book by himself, and he didn't care about Zhou Yuyong's hot ridicule, as if Zhou Yuyong and I had never appeared before.

Being pushed out of the alley by Zhou Yuyong, I thought to myself, if I didn't have a cup of tears, I wouldn't be able to collect the tears of death, and I wouldn't be able to keep Xinxin by my side forever, let alone wake Ling Ziyao up.Tears, I must get it, even if I lose everything.

I stood in front of Zhou Yuyong and said, "Borrow some money." Zhou Yuyong was taken aback, and asked, "Why borrow money?" I said it would be useful.Zhou Yuyong said in embarrassment: "Actually, I don't have much money, and my salary is very small. I use up all of it every month." I looked at him and asked how much I still have, and Zhou Yuyong said at most one thousand.

With the one thousand borrowed by Zhou Yuyong, including the only four thousand in my card, and asking Zhou Yuyong to wait for me outside the alley, I entered the ancient house again, threw a bag of money on the long cabinet, and said heavily: "Boss, this is five thousand, please sell me that Tears Gong."

The old woman raised her head, looked at me, then at the bag of banknotes, and asked flatly, "Why are you crying?"

"Drink." I lied.

The old lady didn't make a sound, she buried her head in her book and continued to read, ignoring me.I was in a hurry, and I could see that this old woman was really a person with character and a shrewd person. I couldn't stand up in front of him at all, so I had to say in a low voice again: "Well, to be honest, it is with To pretend to be the tears of death."

"You know how to catch ghosts?" the old woman asked unhurriedly.

I thought to myself, if I say I don't know how to catch ghosts, I'm afraid the old man won't think that I'm lying to him and ignore me, so he just nodded and said, "I know a little bit."

"Only a little?" The old woman's eyes were still fixed on the book, with a careless look.

"Yes, only a little bit." I pleaded again: "Please sell me the Teacup, I really need it."

The old lady put down the book, looked at me and said solemnly, "There are two kinds of people who don't sell my teacup." My heart moved, and I asked, "Which two kinds of people?" The old lady said, "The first kind is people with eyes but no eyes." .”

When I heard this, I was so ashamed that I couldn't bear it, and I wished I could find a crack in the ground and get in.

The old lady continued: "The second type is people who have no real skills."

I secretly groaned in my heart, the two points that this old woman said were obviously aimed at me. At first I thought this tear cup was too expensive, naturally it was "eyes but no pearls", and she claimed to only have a little ghost-catching skills, of course it is That's a really useless person.

Seeing that I was silent, the old woman snorted softly, and raised her voice: "If you are right in your seat and feel that you have no eyesight and no ability, please go back." I was so angry that I blurted out: "What is it? Are you really capable?" The old woman said, "Go and catch me a ghost, if you do it, I don't want a penny for that tear cup."

This old man clearly confirmed that I can't catch ghosts.However, the more she looked down on me like this, the more I refused to admit defeat, so I responded straight away: "Okay, I promise you, I will catch a ghost for you, but, how much is this tear Gong worth? No matter how much I pay you, I won’t lose you a cent.”

"Hey, that's good." The old woman took out a worn and old pocket watch and looked at it, and said slowly, "It's ten fifty, and it will be delivered on time at this time tomorrow."

"Okay." Even though I didn't have any confidence in my heart, but because of the bad breath in my heart, I answered, picked up the money, put it in my pocket, turned around and left.When I walked to the door, I suddenly heard the old woman ask: "Do you know where there is a ghost?" I stopped, looked at her and asked, "You know?" The old woman said, "I can tell you where there is a ghost." I looked at the old woman Look, seeing her staring at me with a half-smile, I felt that this old man might not be an ordinary person, maybe he was on the same path as my master, so I turned back and said respectfully, "Can you tell me where?" Yes, that would be great."

The old woman seemed to have known that I would say this, so she smiled lightly, reached out and knocked on the long cabinet, and said word by word: "There are in Nancheng Old Middle School."

"Okay, thanks." I turned around and left, thinking straight, what the hell is Nancheng Old Middle School?How is it at school?And how did this old guy know?
After walking about twenty steps, I felt someone was following me all the time. I looked back and saw a girl about eighteen or nineteen years old who was wearing a white T-shirt, denim jeans, and a ponytail on the top of her head. He was pretty, so he didn't care much, so he continued walking.But after another two or three steps, I found that the girl was still following me about four or five meters away.I simply stopped and waited for her to leave first.But she came straight to me, sized me up, raised her head slightly and asked, "You—can catch ghosts?"
