There are quite a few restaurants in the town. Because it is close to the highway, there are three hotels on both sides of the highway, as well as some homestays. In addition, there is a hotel and several guest houses on the antique street.
After leaving the car in front of the small restaurant they had visited before, the three of them walked around the town.
"The design of this antique street is quite interesting. There are six obvious exits, but there are probably fifteen or sixteen exits to go in and out." Bai Song already knew the terrain here well in the afternoon. Although it was very dark at night, he could still recognize the overall terrain of the place.
"I found several good points for observing the overall situation," Ren Xu mentioned several high points, these positions are very suitable for observing the overall situation.
"These places are indeed quite good and suitable for observation." Liu Shuyuan also nodded.
"You can't go to any of the places you said," Bai Song said and shook his head.
"Why?" Ren Xu and Liu Shuyuan both looked puzzled, especially Ren Xu, who had analyzed these points for a long time.
"Have you ever played a shooting game?" Bai Song asked back.
"I've played it." Ren Xu said, "Mainly FireWire."
"In a blasting mode, where would you aim your gun first after entering the next door?" Bai Song asked.
After Bai Song said this, Ren Xu immediately understood.
If one has sufficient knowledge of the topography of a place, wary people will habitually observe the commanding heights as soon as they enter the place.
This is even more true in today's chicken-eating game. Everyone knows to look for hills and high places, but when the enemy looks for you, they will also observe the hills and high places first.
The so-called commanding heights, you know it, and others know it too.
This can also be considered a blind spot in thinking, that is: the commanding heights are actually dangerous points.
Ren Xu, who was frightened by Bai Song's words and broke out in a cold sweat, stopped expressing his own inferences and followed Bai Song to a random pavilion.
"Captain Bai, is there anything special about this?" Ren Xu asked, putting his mouth close to Bai Song's ear.
"I just found it randomly." Bai Song shrugged.
This is a Xuan paper shop. There are always some shops selling the four treasures of the study in such places. Because southern Hunan is close to southern Anhui, Xuan paper is considered good. Of course, the main business is Xuan paper, but other products are also sold.
"You have good eyesight. You noticed these at a glance. This is authentic Xuan paper from Southern Anhui Paper City. How about it? How many kilograms (a unit of Xuan paper, one kilogram equals one hundred sheets)?" It was getting dark outside, and a few people came into the store one after another. "We will be closing soon, so hurry up if you want to buy."
"Boss, you are joking. It will probably rain outside soon. I can't even take the paper worth a few dollars." Ren Xu didn't buy the boss's words and touched the paper symbolically. "This is genuine Paper City County paper. Boss, I will come back to bother you tomorrow morning when the rain stops."
Ren Xu was much more knowledgeable about this kind of thing than Bai Song and Liu Shuyuan. Everyone should be given the right talents. Bai Song knew that he was far inferior to Ren Xu in this area, so he had agreed before that when he encountered anything related to antiques, calligraphy and paintings here, he would refer to Ren Xu.
When the boss heard this, he knew that this was an expert and could really be a potential buyer, so he immediately became much more polite.
This piece of paper costs tens of thousands per piece, so the profit is not small.
After all, Ren Xu was a genuine history student, and he had received professional education in the four treasures of the study. Although the boss was experienced, he could not match Ren Xu in terms of depth and breadth in some areas. The two of them quickly started chatting.
The gap between college students is astonishingly large.
Those who have been idling around for four years know nothing, while those who have studied hard for four years may be able to write a master's thesis.
Ren Xu was good at eating and chatting, and the people who had originally come to the room did not leave. But anyone who came to such a place was more or less a person who was interested in culture or liked to read idle books.
The boss was not in a hurry to close the shop at this time. The most important thing was that he had attracted several customers and sold a brush, so he was in no hurry to close the shop.
In fact, this antique street becomes really lively only after 12 o'clock.
As mentioned earlier, buyers at night often cannot distinguish between genuine and fake products.
However, buyers are not stupid, why do they come in the middle of the night? Of course, it is because many genuine items that may not be seen in the light will be taken out at night, and it is also more convenient for transactions.
There is not a single camera in the entire antique street.
Usually, the shop owner closes the shop at around eight or nine in the evening because people who come in the second half of the night are unlikely to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, but there is no rush today.
More and more people gathered in the room. Bai Song and Liu Shuyuan arrived early and occupied an inconspicuous position, so they could easily see everyone who came in.
In less than an hour, three waves of police and two groups of people with bad intentions came in one after another. Bai Song found it difficult to remember what these people looked like.
These two groups of people with bad intentions came in and analyzed and looked at everyone as if nothing had happened. Although they were not conspicuous, they were still discovered by Bai Song.
So Bai Song planned to leave.
It wasn’t because he was afraid of being discovered, but mainly because his butt was about to be hurt.
He and Liu Shuyuan also made thick disguises. In the dark environment, even people who knew Bai Song could not tell them apart. The main reason was that there were many people here. There was someone in front of Bai Song, and he was leaning on a wooden table. The wooden tables in this kind of store are very heavy, made of large logs, and Bai Song did not move at all when he sat there.
Because Bai Song was sitting leaning back, from the perspective of outsiders, he was only about 1.7 meters tall, making him even less noticeable.
It was really uncomfortable with half of his butt stuck on the edge of the table, so Bai Song signaled to Liu Shuyuan, and the two of them quietly left.
After waiting at the agreed place for about ten minutes, Ren Xu finally came out. It had started to drizzle, but Ren Xu did not come empty-handed, as he came over with a plastic bag.
Ren Xu looked like a college student, so no one suspected his identity, and naturally no one followed him. This was actually quite good, because in this way, the identities of the three people could be better hidden.
It is much easier to hide having an identity than having no identity at all.
"The boss gave me a piece of pine ink," Ren Xu raised the plastic bag in his hand, "It's probably worth dozens of dollars."
"Is this thing so cheap? Didn't I hear that the four treasures of the study are not cheap?" Liu Shuyuan asked.
"You're talking about the selling price, I'm estimating the cost."
Everyone didn't dwell on this matter. After a brief chat, they looked at Bai Song, waiting for his next instructions.
"The water here is very muddy. It will be even muddier if it rains heavily at night. Let's not rush. Let's go find a place to buy some skewers and stay in the car until the middle of the night." Bai Song looked at the sky and said, "This rain is going to be heavy."
