Walking out along the alley, you will reach the pedestrian street. This time is when there are the most people in the evening. All the snacks are planned into the shops on both sides of the street, and the street is neat and clean.
People coming and going in twos and threes all have a few shopping bags hanging on their hands, among which the names and bags of famous luxury goods are commonly seen.
In this place where every inch of land is precious, there is never a shortage of people who have no worries about food and clothing.
Just as Wen Li turned out of the alley, where the two intersections intersected, a faint light caught her attention at the base of the dark wall.
Beside the corner made of blue bricks, an old man with white hair sat on a chair. Two desk lamps illuminated a small area nearby.
The old man was wearing a white coarse cloth gown, and he was closing his eyes to meditate. There were several things on the cloth spread out in front of him, and a thick stack of books beside him.
Wen Li took a fancy to the book in his hand at a casual glance. He could only stay here at night to sell things.
"Old man, how do you sell this?" Wen Li pointed to the top book in the pile of books at his feet.
"Little girl, are you going to this place to buy things at night?"
Wen Li looked through the book and replied without raising his head, "Don't you also come here to sell things in the middle of the night?"
This is true.
The old man stood up from the recliner and said with a sigh, "I have been selling things here for three months, and you are still the first young man to buy something."
The others were all old, weak, sick and disabled, but he didn't see many people stop to look at his little stall.
Wen Li carefully flipped through the old book in her hand. The parchment cover was still intact and the handwriting was clear. The reason why she fell in love with this book at first glance was because of the three words on the cover.
HERBORIST.
If she read it correctly, this book is probably from the old days, and the texture of the book cover is different to the touch. It may have been passed down for hundreds of years.
For people in the ancient medical field, it is like a treasure.
"Girl, do you really want to buy it?" The old man looked at her closely.
Wen Li nodded, "Please make a price."
"Okay, fixed price, five thousand yuan."
The old man stretched out his palm angrily and gestured with five fingers.
Wen Li squinted and saw the mobile phone payment next to her. This old man was considered a trendy person. She took out her mobile phone and scanned the code.
Her simple action stunned the old man who was ready to bargain.
"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet." The old man grabbed her hand in a hurry.
This little girl doesn't act according to common sense, so she has to pay
Wen Li stopped typing and waited for the old man to finish.
"If you just buy this book, it's five thousand yuan, but if you buy these together, it's five hundred yuan." The old man said, pushing a whole pile of books in front of her.
Such an algorithm also made Wen Li stunned. This old man was just here to relieve his boredom.
"This is all I need."
"You little girl can't do math. You can get this pile for five hundred yuan, but you can only get that one for five thousand yuan. No matter what the deal, you only want this one?"
What kind of girl is this.
"I only need this. As for the others, maybe someone will show up who likes them, and they won't be taken back by people like me to gather dust."
Wen Li entered the password and stood up. The old man watched her series of actions with satisfaction in his dark eyes.
"Wait a minute, little girl."
The old man took two books from the pile and placed them on her hand, "This is for you. You and I are destined."
"Thanks."
Until Wen Li walked out of the alley, the two lights beside the old man flickered, and suddenly two young people walked over.
"Old man, it's time for you to close the stall today."
The old man looked very happy and said, "Okay, let's go back." The two young men squatted on the ground and started to clean up. One of them quickly discovered the problem.
"Old man, this thing is sold."
There are three fewer books than when I first came here.
They have been in Ningzhou for three months, and the old man insisted on coming over to set up a stall, saying that he would not go back until the goods were sold out.
But when they were looking at the stalls, they were not allowed to get close, so they could only watch from a distance.
After three months, their old man finally opened his business.
"Returning from afar, staying close to each other. Let's close the stall early today and let's go to the night market."
"Old man, pack up, can we go home?" Yuan Gui's voice was high, revealing the most heartfelt happiness in the past few months.
I have received several letters from the Imperial Capital to remind you. The old man has been wasting his time here. Fortunately, he finally made a deal today. .
"No, we stay here for a few more days, and you are responsible for helping me find out the information about the girl who just bought something." The old man ordered.
The two young men looked at each other, the expressions on their faces getting worse and worse.
"Old Master..." He opened his mouth to coax, "Didn't you tell us before we came to Ningzhou that as long as we sell one thing, we will return to the Imperial Capital. You can't keep your word."
The old man couldn't stay at home anymore, so he had to drag the younger members of the family out for a walk. Knowing the old man's idea of traveling across mountains and ridges, no one dared to take the risk and follow him out.
It was these two brothers who were completely deceived by the old man.
was brought to this place.
"Old man, we promised at the beginning that as long as we sell things and fulfill your wish to be a hawker, we will go back. You can't lie." Gui Yuan tried to reason with the old man.
The old man looked at the two of them, his dark eyes surprisingly bright in the night, "When did I say this?"
Yuan Gui suddenly became anxious, "Old Master, you can't be like this, forgetting what you said."
"As you get older, your brain gets confused easily." The old man said and turned around, "Follow me after you two finish cleaning. I still have to go to the night market."
I watched the old man walking out of the alley step by step. He was obviously eighty years old, but he still walked as fast as flying.
"Brother, can we two go back in our lifetimes?" Jinli looked helpless as he put the antiques collected by the old man into a box.
"Why did the old man want to find the girl who bought his things?" Jinli was full of doubts.
The after-sales service is also great. Is the old man going to explain the book to others
"If I could read the old man's mind, I wouldn't stay here."
"That's right..." Yuan Gui sighed.
Weren't both of them deceived by the old man
…
After Wen Li came out of the pedestrian street, she continued walking on the main road, flipping through the book in her hand as she walked.
When I came back to my senses, I found that the path I was taking gradually deviated from the right path.
She raised her eyes and saw a seven-story building in front of her, with three words written in gold letters at the top.
Looking for the Emperor.
The entire outside of the building was surrounded by fences, and the surrounding area was paved with parking lots. Now rows of luxury cars were lined up.
It seemed like some activity was about to start inside, and cars kept driving in. Without exception, the people getting off the car were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked glamorous.
Thinking of what Lou Qing said just now, she slowly closed the book and now knew where to get money.
As long as she thought about it, Ningzhou City would be filled with gold waiting for her.
Make money online.
