Chapter 113 : There's treasure in the trash.
Aiya, Grandma Hua, your body is really strong. Since you don't want to call the police, I won't force you. However, you see that this leg is inconvenient, how about I take you home? Do you have any medicinal liquor at home?
Grandma Hua smiled bitterly and waved her hand." The hospital is a place where even if you are not sick, you will still be able to see that you are sick. I can't stand this old woman, just apply some medicinal wine. There's medicinal wine at home."
Say, grandma you can be careful, don't fall again. I'll help you, slowly back.
The alley on the south side of antique street, where Granny Hua lives. Those old wooden buildings were really out of place compared to the surrounding concrete buildings.
"Young man, that small wooden building in front is my home. Come and have some tea." Granny Hua pointed at the old wooden building and seemed to be in good spirits.
I parked my car in front of the small wooden building and helped Grandma Hua carry the small bamboo basket into the house. This bamboo basket is really heavy. What treasures are inside?
Grandma Hua took out the key and opened the door. She reached out and lit the light bulb. The cabin lit up a little. Looking at the lonely little bulb on the roof, I couldn't help but think of the old house in the countryside when I was a child.
"Put down your things and have a sip of herbal tea to rest." Granny Hua brought over the enamel teacup and forced a smile on her face. Seeing that her waist was still hurting, I felt bad. Here is a creative, confident, light-hearted rewrite of the original:
After receiving this cup of tea, I drank it in one gulp. It tasted bitter with a trace of sweetness and unique taste. It really made people have endless aftertaste. I couldn't help but exclaim,"Grandma, this herbal tea is absolutely wonderful!"
The flower woman smiled." This is licorice and honeysuckle herbal tea that I carefully brewed. It's the best summer drink." As she spoke, she turned to retrieve a bag of things. However, the pain in her waist made her grunt.
I quickly put down the teacup and went over and said,"Grandma, sit down. I'll take it!" I helped the flower woman sit down and pulled out a linen bag from under the desk.
The flower woman sighed." These things are going to be sold tomorrow. Perhaps they can be exchanged for a few dollars."
Just as I was about to straighten my back, I suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing into my eyes. I blinked and looked at the sack at my feet, my heart beating wildly. It turned out that there was a thick layer of dark cyan gas floating on the linen bag, and the two wisps of gas were floating to my eyes leisurely. This discovery surprised and excited me.
I quickly opened the sack, revealing a dozen badly rusted metal strips, some broken in two. These things look tattered, but the dark blue gas is really coming out of these metal bars.
I was a little puzzled. I reached out and pulled inside a few times, making a few hoarse metal friction sounds. The flower woman behind him smiled." These are all ancient swords I collected from the countryside. If I meet someone who knows the goods, I might be able to sell them for a good price…" Her tone was full of pride. Aiya, this sword looks really old. Flower woman, you really have good taste! I usually like to collect some old things. Since I'm here today, I plan to buy two ancient swords to put back. This sword emitting green gas might be of great use to me.
"Young man, seeing how sincere you are, if you like it, take a few to play with. Don't be polite with me." The flower woman said generously. When she collected this pile of ancient swords, she calculated them by weight. She only spent less than 50 yuan in total. This price was also because two of them had copper handles and were collected as scrap copper.
I didn't hesitate and focused on choosing the ancient sword that could release green Qi. After several rounds of selection, I picked up a rusty ancient sword. Only half of it was left. The blade and hilt were broken, but it felt greasy and slippery in my hand. What moved me the most was the layer of dark green gas on the sword. It seemed to turn into dark green leaves under my gaze. When I approached it, the gas seemed to be drawn into my eyes by some magical force. In an instant, it returned to its broken and old appearance.
I noticed that after removing the broken sword, there was no longer any colored gas on the pile of ancient swords on the ground. I'm pretty sure this is what I'm looking for. As for what mysteries were hidden in it, he could only slowly ponder over them when he took them home.
I carried the ancient sword to the flower woman and shook it casually."Grandma, I want this ancient sword." "You decide the price! "Xu Qing looked at the flower woman with firm eyes.
The flower woman glanced at the ancient sword in his hand, and her face was filled with a warm smile."If you like it, take it. It's my gift to you." "
Xu Qing shook his head, serious expression,"No, this sword I must pay the price." Please quote me your high price. No matter how much, I won't bargain. "
Ever since he obtained the million-dollar dragon stamp from the flower woman at a trivial price, Xu Qing didn't feel that there was anything wrong. He was poor at that time, and it was understandable to take advantage of some small advantages. But now he was rich enough to take advantage of others with impunity.
This ancient sword meant a lot to him. Even if the other party offered a sky-high price, he was willing to buy it.
