The buildings on both sides of the street are different from before. They are obviously much lower here and the roads are relatively deserted. The only thing on them are black street lamps. There are two protruding shelves next to the bulbs of these street lamps, like
Like a candlestick.
It's the only decoration on a remote road.
After passing these light yellow buildings, Ka Xiu walked along the sidewalk paved with square tiles to the right side of the intersection.
At the end of the road, you can even see the black mountain wall, grass and trees behind, which is quite remote. No one would have thought that a small antique shop has opened here.
Above the store, a rectangular metal nameplate hangs.
"Dad's Antique Shop."
Okay, this name is weird enough. Even if people choose this kind of store name, they will also add the name in front. For example, Charlie's Daddy Antiques Store, but this antique store seems to be so willful.
Ka Xiu came here once the day before yesterday. The owner is a skinny old man wearing round glasses and has a very weird temper.
Despite this, he actually quite enjoyed staying here.
The small flow of people is actually an attraction for Kaxiu.
Pressing his bulging left chest, he felt confident in raiding the city's antique shops this time. The premise was that he was obsessed with antiques or legendary antiques. Otherwise, he couldn't buy a card even if he held a pile of gold and silver in his hands.
Cultivate the energy of obsession that you want.
After standing for a moment, he pushed the door open and entered.
"Welcome to Dad's antique store..."
An old voice sounded from behind the red counter at the entrance, and the old man in a white shirt and yellow vest raised his head slightly.
"Hello, dad." Kaxiu waved.
He was not a familiar person. On the contrary, he had a rather indifferent temperament. But for this old man, Ka Xiu didn't know why he always felt a close feeling. Maybe it was because his temperaments were naturally compatible? Anyway, he felt most comfortable in this antique shop.
Last time he stayed there from dusk to night, and his father even treated him to an edamame sandwich, a kind of weird food.
Not to mention, it actually tastes pretty good.
"Levi, have you had lunch?" Dad slowly put down what he was holding, walked around the counter, and picked up a plate.
"Not yet, I plan to go to Nington Street to eat." He had been sorting medicinal materials and making ointment just now, and Kaxiu didn't even have time to eat.
"Then let's have a piece of edamame sandwich to fill our stomach first..."
The little old man passed the plate forward, and there was a sandwich inside. Cardiff didn't show any pretense, and immediately picked it up and ate it.
"Thank you, Dad."
"Hahaha." Dad smiled happily, his little eyes narrowed and his white eyebrows trembled, looking inexplicably kind.
"Dad, you gave your guests weird edamame sandwiches again." A weird voice came in from the door.
The little girl in a children's T-shirt held up a large ice cream cone, looking at her father and then at Cardiff.
"What's weird? The edamame sandwich is obviously the best sandwich in the world!" Dad was a little angry: One more thing~Xiao Yu, did you skip school and go home?"
"Dad, you are confused again. Today is the Holy Bath Festival and school is on holiday." The little girl shouted a few words loudly, as if she was afraid that the deaf dad could not hear her. She walked all the way upstairs.
"Oh, how dare you teach dad a lesson."
The old man waved the empty plate in his hand.
"By the way, dad, when will Uncle Yun come back?"
The little girl on the stairs shook her hair.
"It will be at least another month. He is on the ship returning from the United States of Anna." The old man put down the plate and said, "By the way, don't interrupt, you haven't replied to what dad just said."
Ka Xiu looked at this scene and smiled. The little girl and the old man were both very cute. Of course, this refers to their personalities.
In fact, he knew from the last time he came here that his father and Xiao Yu were not from the Hongli Federation, but from the Xinglan Empire of Xinglanyan Continent. Their family also had an Uncle Yun who was doing business abroad.
The business seems to be related to antiques. Every once in a while, a small batch of antiques will be shipped to Shirakawa City from outside. Although these antiques are strange and of little value.
Looking at his father who rushed upstairs angrily, Ka Xiu shook his head helplessly. Maybe they got along because of the child's temper.
It is said that the older people get, the more childlike their tempers become. Are you innocent at heart?
He turned his head and walked towards the antique store shelves.
This old antique store seems small from the outside, but the space inside is quite large. There are more than a dozen light yellow shelves in the middle of the store. They are not professional and should be handmade.
You can see the wood grain on the edges and the rivets of the nails.
There are some weird gadgets on the shelves.
Music box, old pocket watch, thick books, parchment...
On three sides of the wall surrounding the shelves, there are low counters covered with yellow cloth, with large antiques placed on them.
For example, there are half-length sculptures, broken iron swords, old oil paintings laid out flatly, and ceramic pots that look like teapots and chamber pots. In short, they are all weird and weird, and there are no big antique shops to classify them into special categories.
But complex types and small objects still seem to win.
Ka Xiu followed the old practice of searching and checking all the way from left to right, from the beginning of the house to the end of the house.
Although he has a golden tongue that can search for bitter tastes, no one can tell for sure. When Ka Xiu first approached the senior brother wearing the wind ivory pendant, there was no bitter taste in his mouth.
Only by touching it with your hands is the most accurate. If there is obsession energy, your arms will feel numb and painful. Of course, if some obsession antiques are hidden too deep and you have to have a wound on your arm to sense them, then Card repair will also
He had no choice but to admit defeat. After all, he couldn't press his bloody thumb everywhere, not to mention whether it would be blasted out, the rust and bacteria alone would be enough.
He walked all the way, touching the shelves from the shelves near the road to the shelves on the other side. Card Xiu didn't find anything unexpected.
Putting down the goblet in his hand, he picked up a copper-colored coin next to him. The surface was rough and old. Although it had a metallic texture, it was not strong and the degree of oxidation was not light. Kaxiu rubbed it gently with his thumb, and his whole body
He raised his eyebrows in an instant.
"The familiar bitter taste...are these two days my lucky days?"
The corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.
It was confirmed that the coin in his hand was an obsessive antique. Card Xiu glanced around and rubbed it vigorously with his hand.
The bitter taste gradually becomes stronger, and it seems that there is something on the surface of the coin that wraps the energy of obsession, and it must be approached closely.
Bite the opening decisively on your fingertips and press gently.
A stream of cold air penetrated from outside the skin.
Suddenly the number in the upper right corner jumped twice in a row.
"Obsession energy:1.9→2.0→2.1"
It's a bit small, but Ka Xiu doesn't mind it. It's a good thing to have.
He glanced at the shelf and immediately found seven or eight similar coins. On the reverse was a crown with a crooked cross on top, and on the obverse was the coin's large number fifty.
Ka Xiu picked up the coins and repeated his trick.
I unexpectedly found another one containing the energy of obsession.
"Obsession Energy:2.1→2.3"
He squeezed the coins in his palm and shouted at the counter.
