MTL - Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

  Chapter 13 Heroes

  When Li Mo arrived at the east gate, Liu Chuanqing was drinking a cup of milk tea, the wrinkles on his face stretched out with a smile.

   "I don't have my share of milk tea?"

   "It doesn't taste good at all, just drink some mineral water, it's healthy."

  Master, are you so stingy? Li Mo nodded in a rare way. Although there was an accident in the interview today, the final result was good, which showed that he was recognized by the professors.

   "Master, since I don't need to take the next assessment, I'm going to visit Panjiayuan. Do you want to go together?"

   "I don't have as much energy as you, and I don't want to run around. Besides, I'm going to meet old friends tonight. Go back to the hotel early to rest, and don't play wild."

"Know."

   "Xiaomo, the girl called to ask about your situation before, don't forget to reply to her when you have time."

  Liu Chuanqing was talking about Yingying.

   "Okay, I'm leaving."

   Watching his leaving back, Lao Liu took a sip of milk tea.

   "The taste is really good, but a little expensive."

  Li Mo checked the map on his mobile phone. It was quite a distance from Panjiayuan, but fortunately, there was a direct subway.

   "Heroes!"

  As soon as Li Mo walked into the subway entrance, someone patted his shoulder from behind, and his voice was full of surprise.

   "Where in life do we not meet, we meet again."

   Li Mo looked back and saw that it was the girl who fought together last night. Today, she was wearing a light-colored windbreaker, white sneakers, and carrying a fashionable small bag, showing youthful vigor.

   "What a coincidence, where are you going?"

  Li Mo smiled, he was in a very good mood at the moment, and he already had half acquaintances in the capital.

   "Tomorrow is my best friend's birthday. She likes collecting stamps and is going to the stamp market to find some different ones as gifts."

   "Where is the postal market?"

   "Near Panjiayuan, there are all antiques sold there. Although there are nine out of ten fakes, there are people coming and going every day. If you want to play, you can consider there, just remember not to ask the price casually."

   "I'm just wandering around, I'm not familiar with this place anyway, why don't I follow you for a while?"

   "Okay, I will be a tour guide, and you will be my flower protector. You can call me Cai Cai, Cai Cai of Chinese Cabbage, what do you call a hero? Forget it, or a hero is the best."

   This little girl named Cai Cai has a personality.

   "You wait, I'll buy a ticket."

  Cai Cai quickly brought two subway tickets and gave one to Li Mo. She smiled and showed two cute dimples on her face. She whispered, "Hero, you are popular on the Internet."

   "What's the fire?" Li Mo followed her holding the ticket.

"You don't know yet. There are videos of you fighting against local hooligans last night on the Internet. Fortunately, the light is relatively dark at night. You can kill them quickly with three punches and two kicks. You can't see your true face clearly, otherwise you will be in trouble. "

   "Those hooligans still dare to take revenge on me?"

"They were scared out of their wits. Someone on the Internet broke the news that after we left, those who were injured didn't dare to call the police. They called their friends and sent them to the hospital. I mean, if you show your true face, people will recognize you wherever you go. How troublesome it is for you to be watched like a national treasure giant panda."

   "The subway in Kyoto has no other advantages except for the large number of people. Follow me closely so that I don't get crowded."

When the two walked out of the subway entrance near Panjiayuan, Cai Cai took a deep breath of the air outside: "I shouldn't go out for a stroll on weekends. If you weren't protecting me today, I'm afraid I'd pass out from boredom. Hero, I see you At most four or five years older than me, how about you wait for me for six or seven years, and then I will be your girlfriend?"

  Li Mo smiled without saying a word, are children nowadays so precocious?

   "If you don't answer, it means you acquiesce, and it's a deal."

   It's just a chance meeting, there is no time to see you again.

   "Hero, I invite you to drink matcha tea."

  Milk tea was invited by Cai Cai and paid by Li Mo.

  The taste of matcha is a bit strange. He is not used to drinking it, but there is always a chattering person around him, so he is embarrassed to throw it away.

   "Hero, after passing the traffic light, turn left and you will go to Youshi, and turn right and you will go to Panjiayuan Antique Market. Today I will show you the world. If you are lucky, you may see antique treasures worth millions."

  The post market is set up in an old Chinese-style building. Most of the people who enter and exit here are older, and occasionally a few young people can be seen bargaining.

"Cai Cai, there are so many kinds of stamps here, how do you choose, so that you are not afraid of buying the same ones?" There are so many merchants in the stamp market, and each store has a lot of stamps, including new ones, old ones, and all kinds of stamps. Used old stamps are sorted into stamp books and sold in different categories.

  Stamp collection is unpopular, but it is undeniable that when encountering real rare stamps, the price is not usually expensive.

   "Stamp collecting is just a hobby, not for the appreciation of the collection. I have seen her philately book, and there are still three zodiac signs missing. Just buy three today. I don't want the best, but the cheapest."

   Well, giving a gift is a matter of intention, as long as the intention is satisfied.

"Boss, I haven't seen you put on weight for a year." Cai Cai walked to a store and greeted the boss with familiarity, "The boss must have made a lot of money, look at your face, it's flushed, and your complexion is ruddy .”

   "Heh, the little girl knows me." The boss is fat and eating instant noodles with a ham sausage stuffed in his mouth.

   "You are so noble and forgetful. I bought five zodiac stamps here last year, so I came to you again this year to fill in the missing three of the twelve zodiac stamps."

   "Okay, which three do you want, I'll give it to you." The boss immediately put down the instant noodles happily, and found a postal book with a cover that was about to wear out from a pile of stamps.

   "Cows, dogs and pigs."

   "Little girl, if we don't say that we are destined, I only have these three left now. The time is a little longer, and the condition of preservation is also good, so the price is a bit expensive."

   "They are all regular customers, so I will give you a real price." Cai Cai said with a mature face, as if she was a veteran.

   "One thousand per ticket, 10% discount for three tickets together. Little girl, this is for you with all your money."

  Cai Cai didn't move, she raised a finger and said, "The price is three hundred, boss, the face value of this stamp is only 80 cents, it would be terrible to double it a hundred times."

The boss's face suddenly changed: "Little girl, there is no bargaining like you. Over the years, I have spent more than this amount on storage fees and maintenance fees. If you really want to buy it, I will give you another two hundred. I am at a disadvantage." Ok?"

   "I'll add another two hundred to you. Boss, don't treat me as a child. I bought it here before, so I came to you directly today. If I can sell it, I will take it away. If you really feel that you are at a disadvantage, I will turn around and leave."

   "Okay, I met a master today, remember to come to me next time."

  After leaving, Li Mo smiled and said: "The old fox is unlucky to meet a little fox like you. Don't you know him, the price is too hard."

Cai Cai put the three old postage stamps away, patted the small satchel and said: "Who knows that middle-aged fat man who is about to be bald? Keep haggling."

  Ghostly cleverness probably refers to this kind of child.

   "Hero, my goal has been accomplished, and I will show you around next. By the way, there is a time-honored roast duck restaurant nearby. I have eaten it several times and it tastes authentic. Let me take you to try it?"

   Li Mo happened to be a little hungry, so he nodded for her to lead the way. The two circled around inside and prepared to go out through another door.

"Ancient Qing Dynasty books, very rare old books, first come, first served." A man in his thirties was shouting at the exit, and a dozen yellowed books, thread-bound and written, were already placed on the ground. The words are in block letters, and at first glance it looks like an old book.

  The boss yelled and unloaded two boxes of books from an old tricycle. Those books were packaged in sets, and judging from the appearance, they should be hardcover editions for someone's collection.

  There are [History of Tang Dynasty], [History of Song Dynasty], [History of Yuan Dynasty], [History of Ming Dynasty] and [History of Qing Dynasty]. Ordinary people will not buy this kind of hardcover version for facade.

  Li Mo knelt down to pick up an old book, and opened it only to find that the paper inside was seriously stuck together, and even moth-eaten. After careful identification, it can be seen that the font is handwritten, not a printed version, and the musty smell is very strong, and I don't know where I found it.

  Through observation with different pupils, the old book transmits a light gray halo. It is indeed an old thing in the late Qing Dynasty, but after so many years of poor storage, it has become a waste product and has no value.

  If there is no problem with those hardcover history books of the Five Dynasties, you can buy them back and keep them, and you can take them out for in-depth reading when you have time. The history books in his bedroom are quite miscellaneous, including official history and unofficial history, as well as folk miscellaneous notes handed down at some time.
