I heard that Madman Yang was fond of drinking. On the way to Madman Yang's house, Chen Ran and Bai Lei bought a few bottles of good wine and then knocked on Madman Yang's door.
Madman Yang's home is in an old street in the old city of Tianjin. The courtyards in this street are all old houses of some age, and the surrounding environment does not look very good.
On the way here, Bai Lei told Chen Ran that Madman Yang had a very weird temper and was not very polite at all. When Bai Lao brought him here last time, the other party basically didn't pay much attention to them.
That is to say, he nodded or shook his head, so he told Chen Ran to be mentally prepared to be rejected. He was not optimistic about their trip to Tianjin at all.
After hearing this, Chen Ran just sighed softly. This was also what he expected. There are not so many good things in the world like being in Liushu Village, so he could only give it a try.
When he arrived at the door, Bai Lei stepped forward and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman. She was said to be a middle-aged woman, but she was gray-haired and haggard. It looked like she was overworked.
"Hello Aunt Chen, do you remember me? During the Spring Festival, my uncle and I came to see you..." Seeing the middle-aged woman who opened the door, Bai Lei quickly greeted her with a smile and an eager greeting.
"Oh, young man, it's you..." The middle-aged woman looked at Bai Lei for a while and seemed to have some impression. She quickly welcomed Bai Lei and Chen Ran into the house, and her attitude was very enthusiastic.
Chen Ran was mentally prepared that he wouldn't be able to get in, but he didn't expect to get in so easily, which was a bit unexpected.
"Aunt Chen, we are here to visit Uncle Yang. Is he at home?" After being let into the house, Bai Lei explained his purpose straight to the point.
"Where else can he go if he's not at home?" Aunt Chen frowned and shook her head and said: "You are looking for him in vain. He doesn't see anyone at all, and it's useless even if he does. Now in his eyes, except for him
Apart from those antiques, there is nothing else to see. If you want to take something from him, don't even think about it. Every one of his things is his flesh, and no one can take it off.
"
Chen Ran and Bai Lei looked at each other without saying a word.
"You can sit down wherever you like. I'll pour you tea. Have you... have you eaten..." Aunt Chen first invited Chen Ran and Bai Lei to sit down, and then asked with a somewhat embarrassed look. As she spoke,
I hurriedly cleared the dishes on the table.
Obviously, when Chen Ran and Bai Lei came, they were eating. Chen Ran had sharp eyes and saw at a glance that Aunt Chen was the only one eating. The food was very simple, just soup noodles and a little something.
Pickle, then looking at the whole house, there was almost no furniture except for a few shabby stools. It is not an exaggeration to say that the house is bare-walled. It is hard to imagine that this is the home of a big-name collector in the antique world.
Hearing Aunt Chen's inquiry, Chen Ran and Bai Lei quickly shook their heads and said they had eaten. Aunt Chen cleaned up and served them tea, which was just boiled hot water.
"He is in that room. He only sees his antiques now. He stays in his room all day and all night. He can stare at an antique for half a day during the day, and he sleeps with it in his arms at night.
, whoever enters his house will go crazy. For his pile of antiques, he has offended all his friends, and the family has been broken up by him. Alas, he is such a person.
This is how it will be for the rest of my life, completely ruined..."
There had been no guests at home for a long time. Now that Chen Ran and Bai Lei suddenly arrived, Aunt Chen couldn't help but chatter to them a little more.
Chen Ran didn't hear what he heard. It's normal for collectors in the antique world to be obsessed with the antiques they collect. But being obsessed to such an extent is still incredible, even a little scary. If you think about it mentally,
A weak person may never enter the antique world again after seeing Madman Yang like this.
While Aunt Chen was chattering, the door of the room she pointed to Chen Ran and Bai Lei suddenly opened, and someone slowly walked out of the room.
This man was less than fifty years old, but his bun hair was white and his face was extremely pale. He looked very slovenly. The clothes on his body had not been washed for an unknown period of time. Not to mention the smell, there was also a...
The smell of alcohol.
"Uncle Yang." Seeing this man coming out, Bai Lei quickly stood up and greeted him. Chen Ran also stood up and turned his attention to this antique maniac.
Bai Lei and Madman Yang greeted each other, but Madman Yang didn't seem to hear them. He didn't even look at Chen Ran and Bai Lei. He entered the kitchen like a zombie. Not long after, he saw him holding a
While eating steamed buns, he walked into the room again.
Chen Ran and Bai Lei looked at each other. The two followed them to the door, but saw that the door was open a crack. Chen Ran looked along the crack and saw that the room was full of antiques. There were all kinds of antiques, but the most numerous ones were porcelain.
At this moment, Madman Yang was sitting on the ground holding a wine cup with his hands and watching. His expression was very focused, so focused that he even seemed to be demented. He just stared motionlessly. All he moved was his hand, which was holding the bun and putting it in his mouth.
Stuffed.
"See, he is no different from a dog now. He just needs a bun to eat when he is hungry. He is not as good as a dog. If you feed the dog a bun, the dog will circle around you and bark twice. As for him, there is no one else in his eyes.
Apart from those antiques, there is nothing else to see..."
Aunt Chen came over and said that she hates iron for not becoming steel.
Seeing Crazy Yang's appearance, Chen Ran was filled with emotion. With Crazy Yang in his current state, it was obviously impossible to discuss matters with him, and naturally it was impossible to persuade him to transfer the seven Flower God Cups in his collection.
Alas, I knew it wouldn't be that easy. Chen Ran sighed in his heart, and while thinking about what to do, he returned to the living room and left like this. He couldn't help but feel a little unwilling to do so. If Madman Yang only had one or two Flower God Cups at home,
Then he gave up, but Madman Yang collected seven sets of Flower God Cups. He wanted to collect seven sets of Flower God Cups. There were not many colorful Flower God Cups in the Kangxi period. If he gave up these seven, his work would probably be in vain.
One game.
Bai Lei also lost his temper at all. He looked at Chen Ran and wanted to ask Chen Ran to say goodbye and leave, but when he saw Chen Ran sitting down again, he had to hold back his impatience and sit down with Chen Ran.
, but I have already given up in my heart.
After sitting down and chatting with Aunt Chen for a few words, Chen Ran asked why Crazy Yang became like this. Without guessing, he could tell that Crazy Yang became like this because of something in his heart. He
But I wanted to see if I could get back Crazy Yang’s Flower God Cup through other means like Uncle Lin did. Unfortunately, Aunt Chen didn’t know what was going on. Although Crazy Yang was also obsessed with antiques at the beginning, he was not as powerful as he is now.
, but it slowly became like this later.
According to Aunt Chen, Crazy Yang seems to have never been stimulated and has no worries, which is really strange.
Chen Ran could only explain it by saying that Madman Yang was possessed by inner demons.
When her husband became like this, she offended all the relatives in the family, her daughter and son-in-law also severed ties with the family, and her son left the country in anger and vowed never to enter this family again. Needless to say, Aunt Chen was depressed, and now she had Chen
Of course, being an audience member opened up the conversation.
Although Aunt Chen complained about Madman Yang harshly, Chen Ran could feel that Aunt Chen was also a sharp-tongued person. Thinking about it, he knew that if it had been anyone else, she would have left this family long ago.
From Aunt Chen's nagging, Chen Ran got an unexpected news. Over the years, Madman Yang had seen no one else except antiques. No matter who he saw, he seemed to have never seen him, even if he was
The same goes for Aunt Chen or a pair of Aunt Chen's children, but there is one exception. This person is also named Yang. According to Aunt Chen, this person is the senior brother of Crazy Yang. In the past, only the senior brother of Crazy Yang came here.
Only when the time came, Madman Yang would be happy to receive his senior brother. However, after his senior brother tried to persuade him to no avail, he stopped communicating with him in the past two years.
During this period, Madman Yang came out of the room again and entered the bathroom. Chen Ran and Bai Lei stopped him and wanted to say a few words to him, but the other party ignored them at all, as if they were looking at him.
As if they were not there, he entered the room and slammed the door, leaving Chen Ran and Bai Lei with nothing to do.
With a sigh, Chen Ran had no choice but to take Bai Lei and leave. However, before leaving, he asked Aunt Chen for the address of Crazy Yang's senior brother.
"Well, Madman Yang has really become a veritable madman now. When my uncle brought me here last time, although he didn't pay much attention to anyone, he at least nodded and shook his head. Now it's better, he has become a madman.
That's it..." After leaving the Yang family's door, Bai Lei sighed with regret, and then patted Chen Ran on the shoulder: "What should we do now, should we go back to Zhongdu or transfer to other places?
?”
"Let's see and then talk."
Chen Ran was also thinking about what to do next. He now had no idea about Madman Yang's seven Flower God Cups. Judging from Madman Yang's precious appearance, let alone getting them from the opponent's hands, he estimated that they would be used by others.
If you mention it in front of you, you will be kicked out directly.
The two of them didn't go anywhere else and went straight back to the hotel. Bai Lei wanted to take Chen Ran for a massage, but Chen Ran wasn't very interested, so he went for the massage himself.
After Chen Ran took a shower, as soon as he lay down on the bed, his cell phone rang. He took the phone over and looked at it, but it was an unfamiliar landline number. The caller prompt showed that the address was Shanghai.
Chen Ran was a little strange. He didn't know anyone from Shanghai. After the call was connected, he was even more surprised. The voice sounded like that of a little girl, and it seemed that the little girl was not older than Chen Xiaomei.
This little girl called herself Xiaoyu. She said that she saw a post about Chen Ran on the Internet, which was about Chen Ran losing a big bet in Dongdu. She said that after reading it, she admired Chen Ran very much and even
It was said that her grandfather also praised Chen Ran in front of her. In short, he chatted for a long time, saying that Chen Ran was very powerful.
Chen Ran couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, but he was a little surprised how the other party knew his mobile phone number. He was bored about today's events, and having such a little girl chirping in his ear relieved his boredom.
I asked Xiaoyu how he knew his phone number, and Xiaoyu proudly replied that he found it through a human flesh search.
After the little girl praised Chen Ran, she said that the pair of coffee cups she used at home were also flower god cups. She also asked Chen Ran for her address and said she would mail them to Chen Ran as a gift.
Chen Ran didn't take her words to heart. He suddenly felt his phone vibrate again and found that Mr. Bai also called at this time. He quickly hung up Xiaoyu's call and answered Mr. Bai's call.
"Xiao Ran, I just got news that the Flower God Cup appeared at Hanhai Auction House in Beijing..."
[It’s really disgusting that the internet has been disconnected for the past two days. The 120 in the previous chapter was changed to 110. I’m really sorry...]
