Chapter 09 Antique Pawnshop (5)
On a rare early morning, the subject sat at the dining table, holding a spoon and drinking porridge. Last night, Siming washed the mung beans he bought and soaked them overnight. He got up early before dawn to cook such a pot of homely mung bean porridge.
In order to paralyze the monitors in the past few days, he has worked very hard to construct some life-like details.
While he was slowly drinking the mung bean porridge, Siming had already finished his bowl. Now he was leaning on his chin and looking at the subject intently, waiting for him to finish eating and then put the bowl in the dishwasher to clean it.
His eyes blinked in the morning light, like a tourmaline, and with his movements, they showed a different kind of beauty under the refraction of light.
But the subject did not pay any attention to him at all.
After two days of hard work, except for the third pawn shop which was still empty, the other two antique pawn shops had gains, including but not limited to alchemy items, gold and silver coins. During this period, several widows came to the second shop to beg, and with Zhou Ye's consent, the waiter also gave them a lot of food.
At this moment, he was calculating the recent gains in his mind.
Siming, who was sitting at the same table, was in a lazy posture because of the high concentration of the original body. His fingers were constantly circling on the table, and his wide robe was constantly rubbing against the table, making a slight rustling sound.
Seeing the original body's gaze shift to himself, they looked at each other with distracted minds, and the two of them couldn't help but smile knowingly, just like people looking in the mirror, they always couldn't help making some strange expressions.
Zhou Ye pushed the wheelchair forward a little, kneading Cheese's face, which always showed arrogance no matter what state it was in. Sometimes he squeezed it into a ball, and sometimes he lifted and pressed his mouth up and down.
Cheese did not resist. One hand was still on the table, and the other hand grasped the hand of the original body, but he did not stop it, but just gently held it with his left hand like holding his right hand.
Number Five and Number Three are on an observation mission today. Because their appearance characteristics are very obvious, the other people are scattered in the vicinity to investigate the news.
At this moment, at a high altitude, Number Five saw this scene through the telescope, and his mouth couldn't help but curl up in mockery, look.
As expected of a black-haired person, he is good at doing some cheap flattery.
Thinking of this, he touched his balding brown hair and handed the telescope to No. 3: "Look at the two of them."
No. 3 then raised the telescope, which was relatively large for his body, with both hands, stood on tiptoe at the window and looked across.
Zhou Ye didn't even say anything, but waved to Siming to come over and pick him up. The two of them walked towards the living room, and then Siming turned on the TV and put away the snacks and sofa cushions one by one.
He just wanted to go back to the kitchen to wash the dishes, but he kept looking back to pay attention to Zhou Ye's situation, his eyes were stuck to the back of the black-haired young man as if he was being entangled, but the person being stared at was concentrating on eating snacks and didn't even look at him.
"If the white-haired man is really a noble, then I can only express my admiration." Number Three said slowly, "His behavior and movements make me feel that the person sitting there is not an ordinary black-haired civilian, but some kind of treasure. He only moves one or two steps away, but he is always worried about being observed."
"But the most important thing is that no matter what his identity is, we must avoid him and deal with Zhou Ye. This man looks like he will really use his life to protect the disabled cripple... I want to know what means he used." "
Wait until we sink him into the lake, then ask him. That kid will definitely tell everything, haha."
Number Five smiled indifferently: "Our key this time is with Number One. Don't take it too seriously. It's just a formality now."
"President Chen has basically confirmed that he is not a big shot. At most, he is a small noble with a few alchemy tools. We just need to keep a close eye on him." As for the steaming food, No. 5 probably saw it wrong. He didn't think too much about it. He felt that he was frightened by the silver-haired man.
How could someone use a large alchemy array just to deliver a meal? It was ridiculous. Even No. 5 thought of himself being frightened at that time and found it ridiculous.
"I know." No. 3 also took back his hand holding the telescope. He didn't object to the ideas of the others, but he had a vague sense of insecurity in his heart. He always felt that Siming's figure was very familiar to him, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
This time, No. 1 and No. 2 pretended to be a couple. They were strolling in the market wearing ordinary and decent clothes. As they walked, they came to the vicinity of Zhou Ye's home. They first asked the cashier in the supermarket. The cashier didn't want to say anything at first, but under the attack of No. 1's language, he couldn't help but reveal something.
"Zhou Ye and that so-called nobleman just came here two days ago. He paid for the whole thing by himself, and the nobleman just stood in the back with a dazed look on his face."
"Yes, yes, that day I saw the two of them standing in the fruit section in a stalemate for a long time. I thought that the nobleman would at least buy something for Zhou Ye, but in the end he only bought the cheapest cherry tomatoes."
"It feels like a showpiece." The cashier laughed. "I told other colleagues about this the other day, but they didn't believe it. How could a nobleman not even be able to afford fruit?"
"Yes, no matter how difficult it is, we can't guarantee even these basic foods." Number One and Number Two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Afterwards, they went to the area where nearby residents often bought items and asked around, only to find out that Zhou Ye had been the only one paying for everything from the beginning to the end, and that the items he bought were all shabby stuff, with the only slightly more expensive item being a new photo frame.
They investigated for two days and recorded everything in a book and gave it to Chen Xichao.
"It's a fake indeed." Chen Xichao closed the notebook with a snap after flipping through it. "Could it be that the news of the mine was leaked? They actually attracted these liars pretending to be nobles. The authentication cards were so real, I almost got fooled."
He didn't know what he was thinking of, but he suddenly laughed: "I'll call my friends tomorrow and let them see the true face of this liar. Siming, Siming, what did you call my good friend? Oh, Qianhan, you're such a liar."
"I wonder what he will do to you when he knows the truth tomorrow?"
"I love watching dogs bite each other. Oh, my bad taste!" Chen Xichao was very satisfied with the scene he imagined. He left the few people who were still waiting for a reply and pushed the door open.

"Waiter, has your shopkeeper come today?" Zhong Liu couldn't remember how many days he had asked this question, but every time the waiter with a smile on his face replied the same way.
"I'm sorry, sir. I understand your feelings."
"Why don't you come back in a few days? Maybe our shopkeeper will come."
After repeating these words countless times, his patience had reached its limit. Moreover, he was not a person with a good temper. Looking at the waiter with a smile on his face, thinking of his granddaughter who was still in the ward, Zhong Liu walked out fiercely.
He glared at the empty door fiercely.
He didn't intend to endure it any longer. He took two steps out of the store, took out his cell phone and called his friend in Yuntian City.
"Wang Cheng, help me check this person. He is about 20 to 30 years old, about 1.92 meters tall, with silver hair and a bad personality. He should be a member of a hidden family that came out recently. Your area used to be full of silver hair. You should know more than me."
"My family is in business. You can also help me ask the Citizen Mutual Aid Association."
"Old Zhong, I caught you this time. Don't you usually like to do something like equality for all? Now you want me to mobilize your power too? Hahahaha, you wait."
"Don't insult me, I'm doing this for my family." Zhong Liu originally wanted to tell the whole story, but thinking of the magical effect of ginseng, he kept it back and only revealed a little bit of the situation.
The old friend on the other end of the phone agreed to his request with a smile: "Don't worry, I have some connections with families in Yuntian City, even if they don't communicate with the outside world. I will definitely help you find this kid."
"By the way, how did he offend you?"
"I'll tell you when he finds me." Hearing that his request was granted, Zhong Liu hung up the phone and returned to the door of the pawnshop angrily.
He still didn't believe it. After he checked this kid's family thoroughly, he could not continue to act arrogantly.
