Chapter 21 Antique Market
How could Huo Ting let the roasted duck fly away so easily?
Considering that Shen Lubai was still ill, Huo Ting only tasted it lightly.
"My dear, you are still sick and haven't recovered yet, you can't do that."
Huo Ting distanced the two of them and spoke seriously to Shen Lubai.
Shen Lubai said that he was fine, but Huo Ting refused and even threw Shen Lubai out of the study.
Shen Lubai, who was standing outside the study, stared at the door with an expression of disbelief.
He was thrown out by Huo Ting with one hand?
Yes, it was thrown out!!!
Sure enough, what was said on TV was right. People are all the same. They don’t cherish what they get.
Shen Lubai was so angry that he put his hands on his waist. The blush on his face had long disappeared. He pointed at Huo Ting in the study and cursed, "Huo Ting, just tell me if you can't do it."
"How can you resist me when I am so lovely and attractive? You must be getting older and not as strong as before."
Huo Ting sat in the study, thinking about calming down by himself.
But when he heard the sound at the door, he was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead, and he wanted to catch the man immediately to let him know whether he could do it or not.
The rest of the anger in his body didn't subside, but his rage did.
But his reason still prevailed. This little guy didn't have any other skills, but he was really good at making people angry.
Shen Lubai shouted twice at the door but no one came out. Then he glanced at the living room. Fortunately, no one was there at this time, otherwise he would have gone to his grandmother's house in disgrace.
Shen Lubai shouted at the door for a long time like a fighting chicken. Finally, he got tired of shouting, so he ignored Huo Ting and went downstairs to drink water.
Humph, sooner or later he will return it.
Huo Ting stayed at home with Shen Lubai for a week, and only went to the company when he was completely well.
So Shen Lubai was bored at home again with nothing to do.
But in two days it will be Mr. Huo's 80th birthday. Although Shen Lubai has nothing to do at home, he is not idle either.
Since he was instigated by Qiao Sinan and his relationship with Huo Ting gradually became alienated a few years ago, he rarely went to the Huo's old house.
In the past, although Shen Lubai moved out to live with Huo Ting, he would go to the old house to visit his grandfather every week.
In the past few years, he also knew what the Huo family's collateral relatives said about him, saying that he was an ungrateful person who was not educated by the Huo family.
Sometimes Shen Lubai felt that what they said was quite right.
Master Huo and Huo Ting were so good to me, but I was stupid enough to believe other people's slander and directly denied everything they had done for me.
In this world, apart from my parents, they are the best people to me. I am really too heartless. They are right, I am an ungrateful person.
What Grandpa Huo particularly liked was tea sets, so Shen Lubai collected various tea sets on the Internet, but none of them caught his eye.
Shen Lubai found out that there was a famous antique market here, called Gu Shi for short. Gu Shi was a large antique market with all kinds of things, both real and fake.
Whether you can find the real one depends on your luck.
Shen Lubai decided to give it a try on his own and just do it.
He found out the exact location of the ancient city, which was outside a suburb of Beijing, more than an hour's drive away.
The next morning, Shen Lubai, wearing a black suit and a black duckbill cap, followed Huo Ting out.
He didn't tell Huo Ting that he was going to Gushi. If he had said that he was going to Gushi to buy tea sets, Huo Ting would definitely not let him go.
It's quite chaotic there, and there are a lot of pickpockets, but there are also a lot of treasures there.
Zhang Bo always felt that Shen Lubai gave him a sneaky feeling today, so after Shen Lubai went out, he told Huo Ting.
It was said that the young master was dressed very formally today and no one knew where he was going, and he did not come back for lunch.
Then, when Shen Lubai happily embarked on the treasure hunt, he didn't know that his itinerary had been completely betrayed by Zhang Bo.
After more than an hour's drive, Shen Lubai finally arrived at the legendary "Ancient City".
According to the posts he found on the Internet, Shen Lubai finally arrived at the entrance of the antique market after half an hour of twists and turns.
It doesn't seem to be anything special.
There are two particularly large stone lions guarding the entrance of the antique market. There are only two large stone-carved characters "Ancient Market" on the plaque.
The young man curled his lips and said, "That's just the way it is."
He threw his backpack over his shoulder and strode inside.
It's different inside than outside. There aren't many people at the door, but once you get inside it's packed with people.
It's just a small alley, and the ground on both sides is filled with all kinds of decorations.
There is everything, dazzling array.
The boss was sitting on the side, and when he saw someone coming, he shouted.
Are there really antiques here? Shen Lubai was very skeptical. No matter how he looked at them, he felt that these things on the ground looked like things that could be bought for a few dollars online.
I'm so stupid, I'm sure I'll be fooled, right?
Shen Lubai was very unconfident at this time.
"Young man, what do you want? Do you need a lucky charm to give to the elderly and children at home to keep them safe?"
Shen Lubai squatted down and took a look out of curiosity.
"Let me tell you, this amulet was blessed by a famous master from Lingqing Temple a thousand years ago. It can definitely keep you safe and ward off evil spirits."
"Is it really that powerful?" Shen Lubai didn't believe it at all. It sounded fake no matter how he listened to it.
"Absolutely authentic."
The boss saw that there was something going on, and then looked left and right, then leaned close to Shen Lubai's ear and whispered mysteriously.
"Young man, you may not know this, but last year a young man came to me and bought a lucky charm. He said that when he went to bed at night, he could often hear a baby crying, and this had been going on for several days.
The house he rented was one where someone had died before, but the young man gritted his teeth and signed a ten-year contract with the landlord because the rent was cheap.
"He has only lived here for less than a week, and he hears the baby crying every night. However, the landlord will definitely not return his deposit if he moves out, so he was really scared and came to buy a lucky charm from me. After buying it, he has never heard the crying sound again.
Not only that, his business is also booming, and he is now a big boss. He was so happy that he came to me and bought ten more amulets. Now there is only one left.
If you don’t buy it now, my friend, you will miss this village and there will be no such store anymore.”
