Chapter 186: The cut fingers of the strange dead tree
"Old Zhao, what on earth is this guy doing?" Shen Ming couldn't help but think secretly.
I originally thought that Zhao Manyan was really reliable for once, but I didn't expect to recommend a store that had been closed for seven years in the eyes of outsiders.
Isn't it a black shop?
Shen Ming couldn't help but retreat in his heart, he would rather find a more comfortable place in a serious auction house.
However, what Shen Ming didn't know was that Zhao Manyan did not intend to trick him this time. Baozhai Pavilion was indeed a famous sign on Sanli Street in the past, but it has declined in recent years for unknown reasons.
Zhao Manyan had only heard that his father once praised this store. It seemed that Mr. Zhao still had some friendship with the owner of this store. That's why he recommended Shen Ming to go to this store. After all, the Zhao family could praise him. He wanted to come to this place.
Definitely not bad.
However, Zhao Manyan did not expect that with the passage of time, Baozhai Pavilion would be lost to the public.
"Treasures come, treasures come, treasures from all over the world enter the treasure house! Alas... I think back then, when the inner streets declined, many old shops chose to move to the outer streets. Unfortunately... no matter how old the shop is, no matter how golden the signboard is, they can only keep it.
You can stick to the rules, but you can't keep your ancestral heritage. Boss, don't look at the current Sanli Street, which is a mixed bag of good and bad. Go back 30 years and Sanli Street will be like this...!" Lao Litou said as he tied up a big
Thumb, as a native of Sanli Street, he is proud from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, the two of them had entered the inner street, which was the same as when Shen Ming came last time. There were almost no people in the inner street, and the occasional stalls in twos and threes were only run by some old people who were almost dead.
The reason why the inner streets declined is not without reason. Judging from the topography, the inner streets are completely wrapped by the outer streets. The geographical location occupies a great disadvantage. Over time, it is understandable that the inner streets have declined.
But Shen Ming is curious. Since this street has no commercial value, why don't the officials demolish it and rebuild or expand the outer street of Sanli Street?
Lao Li Tou's shop is at the other end of the inner street, and Baozhai Pavilion is just the opposite, just in the opposite direction of Lao Li Tou's shop.
Old Li Tou took Shen Ming past the dead ginkgo tree he saw from a distance last time.
When Shen Ming got closer, he realized that the roots of the tree were covered with copper coins and yellow paper, and there were three unburned incense sticks on the back. He couldn't help but shudder.
A gust of cool breeze blows, and the atmosphere suddenly becomes weird and permeable!
Old Li Tou saw through Shen Ming's thoughts and hurriedly explained: "Boss, don't think too much. I really didn't lie to you last time. Our ancestors did say that this tree was transplanted from the palace, so I don't know.
How did we get to the Magic City with such a long distance? But the older generation insists on thinking so! Those old guys who are still alive still adhere to the rules of Sanli Street. If you want business to be prosperous, you must burn three sticks of incense sooner or later!"
"Then you said you wanted to sell it to me last time? Aren't you trying to bully your master and destroy your ancestors?" Shen Ming looked at Old Li Tou coldly. The old guy was telling some truths and some lies. He was getting more and more.
I'm getting more and more suspicious.
Old Li scratched his head. He already knew that Shen Ming was going to ask this question, so he still replied calmly: "Boss, you don't know something. Sanli Street has many rules since ancient times. As long as you can afford it, what are you talking about?"
They can all be taken away from Sanli Street. Even this tree, no problem!"
Lao Litou behaved very confidently and did not feel guilty at all. He had lived here since he was a child and accepted the ideas instilled by the older generation.
Sanli Street is an extremely pure commercial street. As long as you have money, you can buy anything here!
"Then I'm really surprised, how much does this tree cost?" Shen Ming unconsciously patted the dead tree trunk with his palm.
"I knock!"
Shen Ming's fingertips suddenly felt a stinging pain, and the outstretched hand suddenly retracted.
Seeing the blood that came out directly, Shen Ming's eyes were slightly stunned, and then his pupils instantly dilated, looking at this ancient tree that had long since died in disbelief.
What is the level of Shen Ming's body now? Even if you scratch the skin with a knife, you can only make a few white marks. It didn't matter that he smashed the white sand giant with one punch in the northern corner of Zhuoyuan. But now he was actually beaten by a knife.
An old tree cut my finger. How is this possible?
Is this just a coincidence?
"Boss?" Lao Li looked at Shen Ming in a daze, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. He was still talking: "50 million to buy a dead tree, no one will buy it, right?"
"Huh?... Let's go!" Shen Ming didn't want to stay here anymore. He always felt that there was something strange about this tree that was indescribable.
"Oh..." Old Li glanced at Shen Ming strangely, but he didn't say anything.
However, not long after the two left, the land next to the dead tree covered with princes and coins seemed to move slightly, as if something was about to come out of it.
Suddenly! Plop!
A dry palm suddenly poked out, looking extremely weird! It grabbed a handful of copper coins and yellow paper, and then submerged it into the ground again!
"To buy a road...money..."
…
"Who is talking?" Shen Ming turned around suddenly. He seemed to feel some strange aura, but he couldn't detect it. This feeling was very bad.
"Boss? What's wrong?" Old Li Tou didn't know what Shen Ming was talking about and thought Shen Ming was hallucinating.
"Didn't you hear? Someone was talking just now!" Shen Ming frowned, and he felt more and more that this place was too weird.
He didn't feel much when he came last time, but the dead tree he passed just now made the throbbing in his heart never disappear for a long time.
"Boss, did you hear it correctly?" Lao Li didn't know what Shen Ming was going through.
Shen Ming ignored Old Li Tou, and put on a defensive posture. Triple sense was instantly activated. Even the magic dragon armor that Shen Ming would not use under normal circumstances was suspended on his body at this moment.
Old Li on the side was dumbfounded. He was not a magician and could not see the power of the gods. But he was a businessman! At a glance, he could tell how wealthy Shen Ming was in the magic dragon armor!
Seeing Shen Ming being so serious, Old Li Tou didn't dare to disturb him anymore. Although he didn't know why Shen Ming looked like he was facing an enemy, but as an ordinary person, he understood that being smart at this time was the biggest stupidity.
.
"No reason! How could it be?"
Shen Ming never heard the voice again, nor did he feel any unfavorable aura around him. It was as if he was really hallucinating!
After retracting the defensive dragon armor, Shen Ming's face gradually became gloomy, and his eyes looking at Old Li Tou were flickering.
Shen Ming's gloomy gaze made Lao Litou shiver involuntarily.
Just listen to Shen Ming's deep voice saying: "Continue to lead the way, don't leave any traces!"
…
At the end of the inner street, there is a dilapidated and moss-covered stone square standing there. The three characters that have been blurred are still engraved on the stone square.
Shen Ming doesn't understand ancient Chinese, but he can still understand three characters.
Next to Shifang, this should be the most prosperous location at the entrance, but now there is only one store still operating.
The golden plaque of Baozhai Pavilion has fallen a lot of dust, but the red carpet in front of the door is extremely smooth.
"Boss, this is Baozhai Pavilion. Although business is not good now, we still have a good foundation." Lao Li said with a bow and a nod.
Having just seen the magic dragon armor that demonstrated the power of Shen Ming's rich man, Old Li Tou became even more respectful to Shen Ming.
The young man in front of him is truly a wealthy man! Old Li Tou has made up his mind and he must curry favor with him!
"Boss Xue, we have a guest!"
Old Man Li did not enter the store, but shouted loudly at the door.
After a while, the door of Baozhai Pavilion opened, and a very charming-looking woman dressed in an ancient style came out with a coquettish look.
"Grandpa Li is here. Sorry to trouble you again! If you hadn't always taken care of the shop, little girl, I would have starved to death!" The woman winked at Old Man Li and wanted to make a gesture towards Shen Ming.
A shy look.
Old man Li on the side was not moved by the woman's sexiness. He just turned around and hugged Shen Ming and said, "Boss, the rules of Sanli Street are that we cannot enter other stores unless we have to!"
Before Shen Ming could get together, the woman happily pulled Shen Ming into the store.
His hands hooked Shen Ming's shoulders, and the two round breasts on his chest made Shen Ming confused.
Shen Ming didn't know it, and thought he had entered a place he shouldn't have entered!
Zhao Manyan is really not serious! What place did you recommend to me? Li Chun Yuan?
"Girl, calm down!" Shen Ming quickly pushed the woman away. He was not an immoral person. Who knows if this woman is sick?
Bah, bah! It doesn’t matter if you’re not sick!
"Boss, little girl Xue Miaomiao, you can just call me Miaomiao. What else do you want, boss?" Xue Miaomiao half-covered her face with her slender fingers, and her hands and feet were filled with a sense of charm.
Shen Ming forced himself to calm down the surging Qi and blood in his body, his face looked ugly. He had whipped Zhao Manyan 100 times in his heart! Wasn't this tempting him to make a mistake?
"Girl, why bother? I heard that Baozhai Pavilion was a very popular brand in the past!" Shen Ming really couldn't stand the feeling of being treated as a traitor, so he could only say some words that might make the other party angry.
"Hehe... The young master is joking, how is the little girl? Whatever the young master needs, the little girl can find it." Xue Miaomiao seemed to be unable to understand the meaning of Shen Ming's words. She waved her sleeves and robe, deliberately revealing her
Those tempting big white legs make the whole person look even more charming.
"Blood of wild beasts! Warrior-level essence!" Shen Ming took a deep breath and then said.
He really didn't want to be entangled with this woman anymore, so he should finish his shopping and leave as soon as possible! This inner street of Sanli Street always gave Shen Ming a very bad feeling.
"Oh?" Xue Miaomiao's eyes changed slightly, her twisting and graceful body gradually stabilized, and the other hand hidden in the sleeve of her robe also retracted.
"Unexpectedly, I actually met a guest who came to buy something..."
Xue Miaomiao licked her charming red lips, and gently placed her slender hands on Shen Ming's shoulders, her eyes as if looking through autumn water.
