Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

The man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly had an idea and asked anxiously: "Sir, do you want to buy antiques?"

"Yes." Lin Ran said.

Originally, as the one who was hit, there should be a conflict with the person who hit the person.

However, they turned into a business relationship.

The man looked around. It was normal for people to collide with each other. There was no conflict, so no one else cared.

But this was not a suitable place to talk. He waved to Lin Ran: "Little brother, I just have something good in my hand. Do you want to take a look?"

After saying that, he turned his head and motioned for them to go to a quiet place to trade.

Lin Ran didn't care. The other party would appear in the downtown area, so he probably wouldn't be the one to slap the sap.

He followed the man and looked at his linen belt.

The hemp belt was somewhat damaged, and some wood was exposed from the back.

But it's more like charcoal than wood.

Because the color of the wood is so dark, it can only be seen from the outline of the hemp belt that the wood is cut very neatly.

What exactly is it?Lin Ran also became curious.

I followed the man to a corner of the park. There were only some old men doing fitness here. Usually tourists rarely go here. There are neither attractions nor shops here.

When he came to a quiet corner, the man wiped his sweat. It seemed that he was walking in a hurry and was already very tired.

He took out a cigarette and handed it to Lin Ran. Of course, Lin Ran refused and asked, "If you want to go to the grave, you'd better smoke less."

Since they were colleagues, he mentioned it casually.

The man was stunned, but he didn't expect his identity to be seen through by the young man in front of him.

He lit a cigarette and said with a wry smile: "It doesn't matter, I'm used to it."

He felt that the young man in front of him looked quite pleasing to the eye, for some reason.

"Look more carefully when you walk in the future. Fortunately, it was me you bumped into this time. If you bumped into someone else, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to save what's behind you." Lin Ran said with a smile.

"Haha, don't worry, I did it because of special circumstances this time." The man said.

He did not intend to continue chatting with Lin Ran, so he directly placed the snakeskin bag on the stone table.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was not charcoal, but very dark wood.

And it is extremely hard, even after being cut like this, there is no deformation.

But...can this thing be considered an antique?

Where did he get it from?

It wasn't that Lin Ran was unwilling to pay, but that no matter how he looked at it, he felt that these pieces of wood were not very good, and he was waiting for the man to explain to him.

However, the man said nothing.

Lin Rancai asked: "Brother, these things of yours don't look valuable."

He looked through it and found that it was full of junk. If it weren't for his dress, he would have thought it was just collected from someone else's house.

Especially those copper rings, they look like street vendors.

The man smiled and said: "Little brother, to tell you the truth, these things are indeed not valuable, but you can take a look inside."

He gave a sly smile.

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment. Could it be that this guy...

Lin Ran could guess a little bit, and he took out a few pieces of wood.

On the surface, these pieces of wood are indeed rotten wood and not valuable.

However, it is just a loadable item that can be opened through the lid.

After Lin Ran opened the lid, he found that there was a scroll inside!

It should be calligraphy and painting.

He just wanted to check the calligraphy and painting, but was directly rejected by the man.

"Little brother, I am also short of money. I have not actually appraised these calligraphy and paintings, so I want to give you a fixed price. There are a total of twenty calligraphy and paintings here. If you are willing, I will sell them to you for 2000 yuan."

2000 yuan is not a small sum in this era. Even in the antique market, there are not many items that can sell for hundreds of dollars.

This is completely blind box opening.

Seeing Lin Ran's hesitation, the man said, "Are you worried that I'll cheat you out of money? To be honest, these calligraphy and paintings were like this when they were taken out, but it's just inconvenient to take them out."

It turned out that something was stuck.

And for whatever reason, they were eager to cash out.

"Don't worry, these calligraphy and paintings are definitely worth the price. Where we are going, but..." He stopped here.

Because Lin Ran pointed out his identity just now, does it mean that Lin Ran understands what he does?

There is no need to put it more directly.

The other party couldn't take the things out, so instead of appraising them, he wanted to sell them all in one go.

This is completely blind box opening.

This marketing method is quite interesting, but the price...

Not only is the origin unknown, but it is also expensive and no one is willing to take it.

"Little brother, don't worry! It will definitely be enough for you to get your money back." The man said firmly.

After Lin Ran hesitated a little, he did have 2000 yuan on him.

Moreover, these calligraphy and paintings do seem to be quite old and may be priceless treasures.

However, he still doesn't know the identity of the other party.

Maybe there are some profiteers who have figured out a way to deceive people.

Seeing that Lin Ran was reluctant to agree, the man became a little anxious.

Said: "Little brother, if I weren't in a hurry for money, I really wouldn't sell you this thing cheaply."

He gritted his teeth and said: "1800 yuan, it can't be any less, otherwise we won't even be able to get back our money."

Lin Ran was not in a hurry to agree.

He has a way to conduct identification, but he has never wanted to use this method.

He placed his hand gently on the wood.

Seeing this, the man said: "Don't force it, it's best to find a knife to cut the surface."

"I won't pull it." Lin Ran said lightly and closed his eyes.

The behavior is very strange, and the man also finds it baffling.

But then, Lin Ran opened his eyes.

He saw the value in these items.

However, the origin of these things is indeed unknown, Lin Ran pretended to hesitate and started thinking.

The man was a little anxious: "Little brother, do you want to buy it or not?"

"Of course I want to buy it, but there's something wrong with your stuff." Lin Ran pointed to the inside and said, "These scrolls are torn. Although there are twenty paintings in them, there should be less than [-] paintings that can be used. Five.”

Turns out to be an expert.

The man thought for a moment and realized what he said made sense.

It's not that they haven't thought about taking out these scrolls, but it's just difficult to do so.

Now someone finally has the intention to buy it.

We have to spend money now anyway, so it’s better if it’s cheaper.

Having made up his mind, the man asked: "Little brother, if you insist on buying it, all the contents in this sack will be given to you for a flat price of one thousand sixteen."

This was the bottom line he could accept and the amount of money he needed, so he kept staring at Lin Ran with the words "I won't give in anymore" written all over his expression.
