I run a prison in Marvel

"Hello, how can I help you?"

When Xiu Rong walked into a pawn shop in Chinatown, a young man poked his head out from behind the high counter and greeted Xiu Rong warmly.

"Huh? Has there been a change? Where is Grandpa Lu?" Xia Yan followed Xiurong into the store.

Of course, entering this store was not a random decision. He had been here several times, but that was a year ago. I bought a lot of good things at his house last year. The boss at that time was a very old man. , but today he is a teenager.

"You are a regular customer here." The young man discovered that Xia Yan was speaking Chinese, so he immediately responded in very standard Chinese, and happily walked out from behind the counter. He looked at the two of them first, and then He cast his gaze on Xia Yan and said, "Grandpa Lu is getting older. He has hardly stayed in the front for the past six months. He is sleeping in the back right now."

"Oh, that's it. Then what do you call it?"

"Call me Xiao Gu, I'm as solid as gold." The boy looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a round face and lively eyes, very boyish. "What do you call me?"

"My surname is Xia"

Xiao Gu then looked at Xiurong, "What do you call this lady?"

"My surname is Han"

"Miss Han, what do you want to buy?" Xiao Gu could tell at a glance that although Mr.

Xiurong looked around the pawn shop and said, "Actually, there is no purpose. I just walked around to see if there is anything I like."

"Okay, then just hang around. If you need anything, just call me." Xiao Gu did not stick to him anymore to chat and continue selling. Instead, he turned back behind the counter, picked up a book and read through it.

Xia Yan looked at the book cover and found it was "Journey to the West".

This pawn shop is not big, but it sells a lot of things. Let's take the display window at the door. There are various second-hand musical instruments in the window on one side, and a lot of second-hand electrical appliances in the window on the other side.

Although this pawn shop is opened by Chinese, the items inside are not just related to China.

There are various "antiques" on the shelves and walls in the house, mostly Chinese-style items, but also some Indian, Nordic, and Indian-style items.There are also various "modern artworks", paintings, sculptures, and even DVDs are available for rent here.

Xia Yan was quickly attracted by the hundreds of DVDs on the shelf, most of which were Hong Kong kung fu movies and martial arts movies.

"The Ten Tigers of Guangfu", "The White-Haired Witch", and "Hong Wen Ding San Breaks the White Lotus Sect" are all Hong Kong kung fu movies from the 70s and [-]s, and Xia Yan, who has lived in two generations, has never seen them.

Looking at these old Hong Kong Kung Fu movies, Xia Yan thought that the Hong Kong movies in this world also have a very large influence. Bruce Lee does exist in this world, but Uncle Long does not. There are Ti Lung and Wang Yu, but there is no Nine. Uncle, Sammo Hung.

But genres like zombie movies and comedy kung fu movies exist, and there are also stars who are famous all over the world. The most popular kung fu star in the 90s was Long Wei. He is almost 50 now. Like the current Hong Kong movies, he has gradually declined. .

Since coming to this world, Xia Yan has always occasionally discovered some items, events, and literary works that are very similar to those in his previous life, so that he would feel in a trance from time to time.

Sometimes I even wonder if there will be a Xia Yan who is exactly the same as my previous life living in China on the other side of the ocean. If I can find this person, will I be able to find someone who is exactly the same as my parents in my previous life? If I meet them ,what happens?

"Mr. Xia, is your English name Yanxia?" Xiao Gu suddenly spoke up from behind the counter, interrupting Xia Yan's random thoughts.

"Ah, yes, what's the matter?"

"I just said that I seemed to have forgotten something. You should have asked Grandpa Lu to help you find something before. Grandpa Lu found everything, but you didn't come to get it later."

Xiao Gu said as he moved a cardboard box out of the warehouse.

Xia Yan searched his memory, and it seemed that such a thing really happened, so he took the cardboard box from Xiao Gu's hand.

"Oh, what are they all? Let me take a look too." Xiurong held a jade hairpin in her hand and ran over to join in the fun.

Xiao Gu had swept away the dust on the cardboard box, revealing the words "yanxia847$" written in marker on it.

When I opened the box, the first thing that caught my eye was the "Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow". Needless to say, this was definitely not the original, but just a modern imitation handicraft. From Xia Yan's professional perspective, the color and patina were very distinctive. The texture is pretty good.

The label on it was "Ma Chao Long Que", and it suddenly looked taller after changing its name. However, Xia Yan seemed to remember that the official name of this thing was "Bronze Galloping Horse", which was a very simple name.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yan took out a bronze knight, a wood-carved Maitreya, a white marble musical figurine, a silver plate engraved with the eight Buddhist treasures, two porcelain bowls, and a ceramic bottle with the word "Dukang" on it.

They are all antique handicrafts with good workmanship. These handicrafts are of great ornamental value when placed alone, but now they are all piled in a cardboard box, which suddenly looks very cheap, and it feels like they are not even worth 100 US dollars.

This should be a handicraft that Xia Yan found for one of his clients before, but at this time he couldn't remember who this person was, and he was probably an insignificant person.

This box of items is of no use to Xia Yan now.However, Xia Yan still paid the money happily, just as he bought another "relic" of Xia Yan.

In the end, Xia Yan helped Xiurong pay for the hosta, which could be regarded as a parting gift to her.This jade hairpin is indeed jade, but it is not a precious and good jade.

Xia Yan sent Xiurong back to the consulate, and the two agreed on a time to meet the day after tomorrow. Xia Yan drove home. As soon as he entered Queens, his cell phone rang.

It was Pell, Stark Industries' head of security.

"Good evening, Pearl."

"Good evening, Mr. Xia!"

"What are you asking me for? Has there been another twist in White Ghost's affairs?" After Xia Yan came back from France, he called Colonel Rhodes from time to time to urge him on this matter, but the replies he received were all waiting for instructions from above. , Xia Yan even suspected that Colonel Rhodes was planning to break the contract.

"Yes, Colonel Rhodes asked me to tell you that within the next two days, White Ghost and others will be escorted to Iron Shield Prison. You need to be prepared to respond."

Wow!The gift package is finally here!

"Haha, why did the superiors suddenly let him go?"

"This involves military secrets. We can't tell Mr. Xia. By the way, Stark's engineers will bring the first batch of equipment to your place tomorrow morning for a simple modification."

"Ok, see you tomorrow!"
