Hearing Chu Chen's murmur, Han Rui turned his head and said strangely: "What?"

Chu Chen was taken aback, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, I thought of a good place, why don't we go and see it together."

He was talking to Han Rui in the front, but later it turned into asking for everyone's opinions. Seeing that Chu Chen had an idea, Lao Zhao and Lao Qi nodded and said, "Then go, anyway, I just came here, and I don't know which one." If there is something we want, it’s good to go shopping around.”

Chu Chen glanced at the trail where the man disappeared, pondered for a moment, then heeled up.

The greening of the mountain village is much better than that of the city. There are towering old trees everywhere. If it is summer, it must be very cool. With the beautiful Ming and Qing buildings in Shangsanfang Village, it looks like a fairyland on earth.

The four walked and admired the houses and buildings here. Old Zhao stroked his chin and praised: "This place is really good. If you save enough money in the future, you might as well come here to retire."

Lao Qi also responded with a smile: "It is very in line with our aesthetics, but I don't know if there are any beautiful girls. I heard that the girls in the mountains are honest and capable, and they are especially fierce in bed."

Upon hearing this, Lao Zhao rewarded Lao Qi with a chestnut, and scolded: "You can't think of serious things in your head."

Lao Qi curled his lips, lowered his head and said nothing.

Han Rui looked at Lao Qi next to him, and then turned his head to the residential houses next to him. He didn't understand the aesthetics of Lao Qi's mouth, he just thought these houses were really beautiful. The buildings with carved beams and paintings and the neat and exquisite window lattices looked like a So simple and atmospheric, but the details are so exquisite that people can't help but stop and watch.

However, Han Rui never thought that he would come to live in such a quiet village when he was old. He felt that he couldn't leave City B, Long Qian, and even his family.

In fact, once people have goals and things they want to protect, it doesn't matter where they live.

Chu Chen took the three of them and followed the man all the way to the east of Sanfang Village, and found that the buildings here were more gorgeous, and the strong ancient charm made Chu Chen almost forget what he was going to do at the moment.

The streets here are much wider than those in the west of the village. Through the courtyard gates, some people can be seen living in wooden houses. Occasionally, small wind chimes are exposed from the eaves, making crisp sounds in the breeze.

Although this kind of house handed down from the ancestors still retains the succinct and detailed specifications, many places have been rebuilt, and there are several wires connecting the houses. On the side of the door, you can still see the exquisitely packaged furniture that has been popular in recent years. couplets.

The interweaving of ancient and modern times gave Chu Chen a complicated feeling. When he saw a BMW parked in a certain family's yard, this complicated feeling was completely overwhelmed.

After all, it’s not that era anymore. Houses can be preserved, but people’s hearts can’t be. Even if you live in such a beautiful house, you have to watch TV and play computer games. People can never be the same as houses.

Sighing, Chu Chen put away his love for "ancient" as an appraiser, looked at the distant figure in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Let's go, I won't find it in a while."

Hearing this, Lao Qi asked in confusion: "What can't be found?"

Chu Chen glanced at him, pointed to the man in front of him who had been followed for so long but hadn't noticed anything at all, and said, "Did you see that man? Not long ago, I received the "Qimen Dunjia Encyclopedia" of the Republic of China from him." , the appearance is perfect, and the price is also low, I didn’t expect this kid to live here.”

""The Encyclopedia of Qimen Dunjia"?" Lao Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be printed by Laojinzhang Bookstore? I didn’t see a copy that arrived, why did you pick it up when you came here?”

"Luck." Chu Chen smiled triumphantly, and said, "The real value of that book is far beyond what you think, picking it up is like picking up a God of Wealth and going home, anyway, I don't plan to sell it again. "

Lao Qi let out a "hey" and replied: "Look at what you said, this book of dare to love is really a treasure."

Chu Chen smiled and did not answer. Zhao Laixin, who was next to him, seemed to have thought of something, touched his chin with a little understanding and said, "Don't tell me, old seven, maybe Xiao Chu just picked up a treasure. If you think about my antique shop, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, you will understand that there are always some things in this world that you cannot understand."

As soon as Lao Qi heard Zhao Laixin talk about the warmth in winter and the coolness in summer, he immediately murmured "Bah" and looked back and forth between the two sourly.

At this time, Han Rui saw that the man Chu Chen mentioned had entered a courtyard, and reminded him, "He has already entered."

Chu Chen withdrew his thoughts, glanced at the houses not far away, and said, "Let's go, go in and take a look, maybe you can find something good."

It was the first time for Han Rui to go to the countryside to shovel land. When he heard Chu Chen say that he wanted to go in, he was slightly taken aback and asked, "Just go in like this?"

"Of course." Chu Chen nodded and said, "Just go in and explain why you're here, and I guarantee that guy will recognize me."

After finishing speaking, Chu Chen took the lead and walked towards the gate of the courtyard. Lao Qi smiled and patted Han Rui from behind, signaling him to just follow along.

Old Zhao put on an amiable smile. As the oldest person, he first entered the courtyard and said hello politely. Immediately, he heard someone coming out of the house. Everyone saw that it was the young man selling books. The young man Lin Peng.

Lin Peng was taken aback when he saw Chu Chen, and asked in surprise, "Why are you?"

Chu Chen raised the corner of his mouth and said, "We came here on a self-driving tour, and we just happened to see you while wandering around, so I thought I'd come to visit anyway, because we all know each other after all."

As if he was not used to being polite with others, Lin Peng smiled stiffly and said, "It's okay, since you're here, let's go in and have a seat."

He said casually at the scene, but he didn't expect that Chu Chen was waiting for this sentence.

"Then excuse me." Chu Chen smiled slyly, and walked in with big strides. Seeing this, Lao Zhao and Lao Qi followed quickly. Only Han Rui noticed Lin Peng's discomfort.

There is an old banyan tree in the yard of Lin Peng’s house, which is so lush that it almost covers most of the yard. Even though it is autumn, it doesn’t look desolate at all. Before entering the house, Chu Chen glanced at the banyan tree and didn’t ask any more questions What.

After everyone entered the room, Lin Peng came back to his senses and hurried in to serve tea and water. The visitor was a guest, no matter what purpose Chu Chen and the others had, he had to save face.

As soon as his buttocks sat on the sofa, Lao Qi's pair of thieves' eyes began to search around, but found that the living room was just some simple modern furnishings such as coffee table and TV, not even antique dregs.

This can’t help disappointing him. He usually hears friends in the industry talk about shoveling the ground. Who doesn’t happen to see bottles and jars used as tools in villagers’ homes? But why can't they see any good things when it's their turn?

Chu Chen also took a look at Lin Peng's house with this thought in mind, and then said calmly, "It seems that your house is quite old, so it must have been handed down by your ancestors, right?"

Lin Peng nodded: "I heard from Grandpa that this house has been passed down for several generations."

"Sure enough..." Chu Chen said with a smile: "To be honest, we are not only here for sightseeing, but also want to collect some interesting things to take back... Didn't you sell me an old book last time? Don’t have anything like that, or something older? If you have something, you might as well take it out and have a look, my two friends are also experts, and they will definitely give you a suitable price.”

Hearing Chu Chen's words, Lin Peng's expression was a little gloomy. He put down his teacup, sat aside hesitantly, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Just when Chu Chen asked again, another 50-[-]-year-old uncle walked out of the back room. The uncle's face was somewhat similar to Lin Peng's. He had obviously heard Chu Chen's words just now. He smoked a cigarette and looked at the couple on the sofa. Personally, before Chu Chen was about to say hello, he said: "I know what you are here for. In the past few years, there have been many people collecting antiques like you in the village. They all thought that we were illiterate and didn't understand anything. If you want to deceive a few treasures, you can do it." Walk."

As soon as this remark came out, several people showed a little embarrassment on their faces, only Han Rui felt that it didn't matter, because they came here to shovel land and wanted to receive good goods at a low price.

Chu Chen coughed dryly, and said: "We are indeed here to collect things, but whether you sell them or not is up to you. I said that I will give you a suitable price, so I will definitely not use 'cheat'. We have to resell the things we receive. If we sell it again, we must make some difference in the price, otherwise, who would do this thankless thing? Of course, if you think this is not okay, we can leave now..."

From Lin Peng's expression, Chu Chen knew that this company did have something he wanted to sell, otherwise Lin Peng wouldn't have shown such a hesitant look, even if he didn't want to sell, he would definitely have something.

Sure enough, when the uncle heard Chu Chen say he was going to leave, he frowned and gestured, "Wait..."

Chu Chen just pretended to stand up, but immediately sat back after hearing the words, quietly waiting for the other party to finish speaking.

The uncle hesitated for a while, sighed, turned and walked into the house, and after a while, he took out a white porcelain cup, and said with a seeming determination: "If I wasn't in a hurry to spend money, I would never sell these. They are all treasures handed down from the ancestors, and each of them is more important than my life... But money can be earned again, things can be redeemed again, and people can't be resurrected after death..."

Hearing this, Chu Chen and Zhao Laixin looked at each other, and they could tell that there might be some troubles or hidden secrets in this family. The two of them could not help but secretly speculate.

The uncle ignored what they were thinking, but carefully put the porcelain cup on the table and said, "Take a look at this cup, and you can take it away if you give a suitable price."

Chu Chen had sharp eyes, and the moment the uncle put the porcelain cup on the table, he saw that it was a bucket-colored Ganoderma lucidum cup. He picked up the porcelain cup and looked at the inscription on the bottom. It turned out to be "Made in the Yongzheng Year of the Qing Dynasty".
