Chapter 387 Do you have any other beds here?
Xu Lin arrived at the three-story courtyard in Tongluo Lane and watched the soldiers unload her goods into the courtyard, nodding with satisfaction.
The soldiers escorting the vehicle left after unloading the cargo, as they were going back to report.
After everyone left, Xu Lin released his mental power to look around. After making sure that no one was watching, Xu Lin put the goods into the space.
I took out a cup of milk tea bought in Hong Kong City from the space and looked around the yard while drinking it.
There is a screen wall at the gate, on which are carved paintings symbolizing wealth and peace.
Around the screen wall is a pair of red-painted doors with high thresholds that are difficult for a three-year-old child to pass through.
On both sides are the back houses, which used to be the residences of the concierge and servants. Now the houses on both sides are empty, without any furniture.
There are corridors on the east and west sides connecting the east and west rooms, so you don't have to worry about getting wet even on rainy days.
The front hall is large and empty because there is no furniture inside. If Xu Lin wants to move in, she needs to prepare the furniture herself.
Xu Lin walked through the hanging flower gate and came to another courtyard. The flowers planted in the courtyard had withered, and it was obvious that no one had taken care of them for a long time.
If its previous owner saw this scene, he would be sad for a long time.
The more Xu Lin looked into the yard, the more satisfied she became. Finally, she discovered an underground secret room under the west wing in the backyard.
The entrance to the secret room was cleverly designed. If Xu Lin didn't have mental power, he would have missed this secret room.
There were ten large boxes in the secret room, filled with books, calligraphy and paintings, all of which were old and well preserved.
This shows how much the owners of these books, calligraphy and paintings cherish these items.
Xu Lin put all ten large boxes into the space, made some changes to the entrance, and set up a small magic circle.
She decided to build the teleportation array in this secret room.
After leaving the secret room, Xu Lin began to walk around the yard. This was his own business, so naturally he had to take good care of it.
The Feng Shui formation must be started, and the Mizu formation must also be started.
When she was away, there was a mystical camp and it was not easy for those people to break in. Even if they broke in, it was not easy for them to leave.
Xu Lin didn't believe that someone was so lucky that he could get in and out, which could greatly help her keep her secret.
Xu Lin was busy until midnight. She didn't rest in the whole room, but went straight into the space to practice.
The next morning, Xu Lin got up early, went out to have breakfast in a good mood, and packed a few portions to put in the space.
Then she went to the second-hand furniture market, which was state-owned and many of the furniture on display were confiscated from houses.
As long as the furniture is not smashed or damaged, it will be put here. Of course, the broken ones will be sent to the scrap yard for recycling.
Xu Lin came here hoping to pick up a bargain. There were many people who shared this idea, and everyone who came to look at the furniture would knock around and inspect it.
Each of them thought they were being very careful, but in fact they didn't know that the salesperson in charge had a very sharp eye.
They remember everyone's little movements and even check guests before they come in.
If there are really good things, they will discover them first.
Fortunately, Xu Lin's purpose of coming here was not to look for treasures hidden in the furniture, but to buy old items for collection. Those mahogany furniture will increase in price in the future.
Of course, if she could find one with a mezzanine, Xu Lin would accept it without hesitation.
Because most of the people here are older, the salesperson was quite surprised to see a little girl like Xu Lin coming over.
"Hello, comrade. I want to buy second-hand furniture to serve the people. Do you want to move it here directly after you see something you like?" Xu Lin came up to the salesperson and asked.
"You can write down what you want first, then tell me all of it, and then move in after you pay."
The salesperson was afraid that Xu Lin was too young to understand, so he explained, "Those large items are very heavy. If you bring them here without buying anything, it will be very troublesome to carry them back and forth."
Xu Lin nodded to show her understanding, then went into the store to start selecting furniture. Unlike others who just hammered and pounded, Xu Lin directly used his mental power to scan.
This sweep really allowed her to discover a lot of good things.
But Xu Lin was also a coward. After discovering her, he did not go forward to take a look. Instead, he directly used the black hole in space to take away the items inside.
The method was so smooth that even if someone followed her, they would not be able to detect it.
What made Xu Lin most happy was that there were really a lot of good things in these furniture.
Like the three hundred year old armchair, the five hundred year old armchair, the dressing box made of golden nanmu, and the wardrobe made of hundred year old mahogany.
In later times, each piece could be sold for a good price, but nowadays they are mostly around ten or twenty yuan, with the better ones costing a few dozen yuan.
Anyway, there are very few items in second-hand stores that cost more than a hundred dollars.
Xu Lin's eyes were sharp. She quickly selected the furniture she needed, asked the salesperson to show it to her, and asked her to help calculate the price.
The salesperson listened and took notes, and as Xu Lin reported the quantity, he couldn't help but look at Xu Lin several more times.
“Did you buy too much?”
"Is it a lot? I just moved and I don't have any furniture at home. I'm worried that these are not enough."
Xu Lin complained innocently, "New ones are too expensive, so I thought about buying some second-hand ones to make do with, but look at that bed!"
Xu Lin pointed at an old bed and said, "That one is too broken. I can't even put it together. Do you have any other beds here?"
"This one." The salesperson looked at the bed and found it was indeed quite worn out. However, the bed was in good condition when it was delivered.
Seeing someone showing interest in the bed legs, she quietly removed them to check.
As a result, the things were gone and the leg bed couldn't be put back, leaving it in the horrible state it is now.
"Alas, second-hand furniture will certainly be a little worn out, but it's better to buy a new bed for yourself. Who knows who has slept in the old bed."
The salesperson shuddered when she said this. She felt scared when she thought that someone might have slept in the bed.
Forget it, forget it. I can’t think about it. The more I think about it, the scarier it gets.
She even took off the bed legs.
"That's right. It's just that the new bed is too expensive."
Xu Lin's painful expression made the salesperson laugh. He guessed that the girl was really here to buy second-hand furniture for her own use.
Come to think of it, what could a little girl understand?
At most, she would check the condition of the furniture and see if it was damaged. As for whether there were valuable items hidden inside the furniture, the little girl certainly couldn't tell.
In addition, the furniture salesmen had already checked the furniture and quoted the prices very quickly. At the end, they also said:
"Can you move all this furniture? Do you want to find a furniture mover?"
"Do you know anyone here? It's really hard for me to move it alone."
Xu Lin looked at the salesperson with sparkling eyes, which made the salesperson blush. Oh my god, this girl is so pretty.
Those peach blossom eyes are like hooks, so alluring, which man can resist it?
