I hung up the phone, watching the time, Feifei was almost over for school.
Like her, Shen Xing left a note on the table, telling her that he would go out for a while and be back soon.
I took a taxi and went to the small commodity wholesale market.
This wholesale market has everything to play, decorate, and wear. Various small accessories and gadgets emerge in endlessly. After searching for almost 15 minutes, Shen Xing finally found an assembling jewelry store.
In this store, I found metal plugs and metal buckles that can be placed in the woodcarvings of the closet. There are more than ten models and sizes.
Shen Xing made a careful comparison, selected three models, and bought more than 20 at once, thinking that there might be more useful places in the future.
Just after coming out of the small commodity wholesale market, Li Naijing called again.
I have to say that the efficiency of the special case investigation team is indeed amazing.
This time Li Naijing told him that after she and Zhao Wenbo arrived, they had found and defeated Mei Ruolan's ghost, but there seemed to be something wrong there. She had searched it carefully by herself, but couldn't see anything.
However, to be on the safe side, the section of the corridor near the He's house on the 7th floor of the Jincheng Building has been ordered to be sealed off, and a warning sign has been set up to prevent entry.
The team leader Zheng Ruijun was on a business trip in the past two days, and he needs to wait for him to come back to check and confirm. If there are no abnormalities, the blockade will be lifted.
After hearing Li Naijing's words, Shen Xing knew that waiting for Zheng Ruijun's return was his best time to act. Once all the wood carvings in the wardrobe were completed, he would immediately rush to take the guy away instead of waiting for Zheng Ruijun's return.
Without further ado, he returned to the "listening" shop, preparing to take away from the shop a few small round corks that can be put into the hollow part of the woodcarving of the closet.
Some of this stuff was kept in the store before, but it happened to come in handy this time.
Today, Shen Xing didn't plan to open a store. The incidents he encountered in the past two days have been endless. He opened the store for three days and two days of fishing and netting, and he couldn't help himself.
As usual, it was almost time for him to close at this time.
Soon he found the small round cork, and Shen Xing closed the locker near the corner, stood up, and turned his head to find out that there was a customer entering the store after only a short while.
This is a decent looking woman, about 30 years old, slightly pink, with long wavy shawl hair, wearing a lavender suit, wearing a pair of fuchsia high heels, holding a delicate Donkey handbag.
Perhaps for convenience, she didn't put the handbag on her shoulders, but wrapped the golden zipper of the handbag twice in her right hand and held it like this.
Maybe it was not long after Shen Xing opened the store door. When she was looking for a cork under the squatting corner, the woman came in. At this moment, she had slowly walked to the middle of the store, watching as she walked, looking at a row of locked cabinets. .
The blood pupils (eye pupils) and cheeks (masks) are placed in this column of cabinets.
When Shen Xing saw her, the woman was carefully looking at the two wood carvings with great interest.
"Hello, madam, what do you need?"
Shen Xing looked at the time, feeling a little anxious, but he couldn't rush the customer.
At this moment, he is concerned about the wardrobe of strange objects placed in the He's house. For fear that Zheng Ruijun's brain will be twitched, he suddenly rushed back to the Jincheng Building today. Up.
The woman turned her head and smiled at him, pointing to the top of her head: "Excuse me, boss, turn on the light above my head, I can't see clearly."
Because Shen Xing didn't think about doing business when he entered the store, he only turned on half of the lights in the store. At this moment, it happened that the light above the woman's head was not turned on.
Shen Xing didn't say anything, and went to turn on all the lights in the store. Although he was anxious, he still stood aside patiently.
The woman again approached the blood pupil and the wooden carving of the face, and examined it carefully.
The two wood carvings have names underneath them, one is "eye pupil" and the other is "mask", and there is no other redundant introduction.
In fact, the wood sculpture of the eye pupil is not as hideous and terrifying as the blood pupil that Shen Xing has encountered. On the contrary, under his production, this blood pupil wood sculpture is full of absurdity and uniqueness, presenting a kind of both lifelike and different from reality. A sense of withdrawal.
After watching this woman for a while, Shen Xing was a little anxious. Just as she was about to speak, she listened to the woman.
"This'eye'... how much is it?"
Without waiting for Shen Xing to speak, she added: "It gives me a very strange feeling. I have always believed in my own vision. This thing... um, not bad."
"From your perspective, how much do you think it is worth?" Shen Xing smiled, deliberately making an unpredictable look.
The woman lowered her head and pondered for a moment, her slender index finger gently touched her chin: "It won't be less than ten thousand."
"Please sit down, madam. The chair here is upholstered. Come, I will make tea for you!"
In fact, after first seeing this woman, Shen Xing didn't say that one of the reasons for not doing business today was that she found that the other party's dress and temperament were very rare.
It is rare for him to come in with such a customer in his small shop at ordinary times. Of course, some customers just take a look at it and won't actually buy it.
However, as long as the other party sees his work pleasingly, he may become a regular customer in the future and bring himself a stable income.
However, the other party seemed to have a good eye, and at a glance he saw two of his most proud woodcarving works, which are by far the most expensive woodcarvings in the entire shop.
As for the specific price, in fact, Shen Xing himself has a psychological price. The blood pupil woodcarving is about 12 thousand, and the face mask woodcarving is about 30,000.
The reason for this price is that the blood pupil, a wood sculpture that is close to the artistic style, cannot only be interpreted with vivid images, but to realize the sense of abstraction from reality that it exudes all the time.
As long as you understand, you will definitely feel this way.
As for the wood carving of the face, Shen Xing once experimented. When he is staring at it, unless it is to accumulate mental antibodies, it is easy to have an illusion and feel that this face is very familiar.
He believes that not only himself, but other people will have the same illusion when they see this mask, and they will see some familiar faces in a daze.
It's just that Shen Xing didn't find the same kind of person as himself some time ago.
In fact, in the final analysis, the most valuable thing about these two wood carvings is that they naturally have a trace of anomalous characteristics. This thing is very ethereal, some sensitive people may be able to feel it, some people cannot.
Looking at the appearance of this woman now, it seems that she could not find the abnormality of the wood carving on the face, but was more or less attracted by the characteristics of the blood pupil, and developed a keen interest in the blood pupil.
Making a pot of tea for the other party, Shen Xing opened the glass cabinet, took out the blood pupil, and placed it in front of the woman: "Look carefully." (End of this chapter)
