The window of the nanny room where Chu Tianci lived was very strange. The sunlight in the broad daylight could not be shined in. The lights had to be turned on when staying in the house. Chu Tianci rarely went out to walk around because Yue Qianling's troubles some time ago, there was no progress in the matter about the Siling Ming.
So Chu Tianci basically stayed in the room except for one ri and three meals. The window outside the room was actually just a palm-sized skylight. At three in the morning every night, the moonlight just came in and shone in the corner of the room without any bias.
Chu Tianci opened his eyes in a daze. At the only place where the moonlight could reach, he saw a woman sitting there, wearing a white skirt, her hair was very long, blocking the moonlight, and unable to see her face clearly.
Chu Tianci was stunned, sweating all over his body, and sat up from the bed, moving too fast, and touched his head again, and shrank to the corner of the bed and didn't dare to come out.
"It's time to get up." The woman said as she stood up and walked over slowly.
The face slowly appeared in the moonlight, and a curious smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
"Qianling?!" Chu Tianci breathed a sigh of relief and raised his head and said, "People are scary. You don't sleep most of the night, so you run here to scare me."
"Who has the time to scare you, get up quickly." Yue Qianling threw her clothes on his face.
"Get up?" Chu Tianci asked blankly. "What are you doing when you get up now?"
"Go shopping with me." Yue Qianling became more and more excited as she spoke.
"Shopping?!Now?!" Chu Tianci looked at her in amazement, and it took him a long time to react. "Miss, I beg you, stop tossing anymore. It's only time that you want to go shopping. Are you going to see the hell?"
Yue Qianling suddenly nodded and smiled happily.
"You're really right, just go and see the hell!"
Xiao Lianshan heard a noise and ran over from the house. Seeing Chu Tianci wearing clothes reluctantly, Yue Qianling standing next to him was extremely excited.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"Qianling wants me to accompany her to go shopping." Chu Tianci said sleepy and weakly.
"Now? It's only three in the morning, and there are no ghosts for most of the night." Xiao Lianshan said in surprise.
"How could you know if you haven't seen it before? I'll take him to see the hell today." Yue Qianling said seriously, twisting her head.
"Brother, I'll go get dressed when I'll wait until I'll do it. I'm not at ease if you two go out in the middle of the night."
"Stay wherever you cool down, stay at home to watch the door." Yue Qianling shook her head and said persistently. "It's useless if you go to this place today."
Chu Tianci rubbed his eyes, sighed heavily, and walked to the door and patted Xiao Lianshan's shoulder.
"I'm doing my own fault, so you just stay at home and let her mess with me alone."
After coming out of the villa, Yue Qianling looked at the accelerator of the car and never relaxed. Chu Tianci felt like she was rushing to reincarnate. After several times, she couldn't help but want to sleep, but was woken up by Yue Qianling savagely.
Chu Tianci didn't ask where he went. Now, life and death are no longer important to him. As long as he could take a moment, I would be grateful.
The car stopped slowly, and Chu Tianci was confused and looked at the time.
It was 4:30 in the morning.
On the side of the road, under the dim lights and mottled trees, there were crowds of people everywhere, bustling with people. A car passed by, illuminating the blurry faces of the roadside, leaning against or pulling a cart, and it was like a ghost.
Chu Tianci slowly woke up and looked at everything in front of him curiously.
"This...what is this?"
"Ghost Market!" Yue Qianling answered casually.
"Ghost Market?"
Chu Tianci frowned and got out of the car, only to find that there were street stalls on both sides of the road. After walking a few steps, he looked around for a long time and found antique furniture, four treasures of study, ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, agate jade, Chinese and foreign coins, shadow puppets and facials, religious tokens, ethnic clothing, relics from "special periods" and even daily necessities.
In addition to arms, drugs, population, there are all valuable items that can be imagined here.
Chu Tianci also became interested. While looking at the dazzling array of goods on the stall, he asked curiously.
"Qianling, what is this place?"
"This is Jiuyan Bridge. Speaking of this market, it can be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. At that time, the country's fortunes declined. Many high-ranking officials and nobles lost their families and secretly took antiques at home and sold them on the street." Yue Qianling said while squatting in front of a stall. "After all, this is a top deal, so she can only choose to trade with lanterns at three or four in the morning."
Chu Tianci suddenly realized and nodded and smiled.
"Oh, it turns out that this is the ghost market."
Yue Qianling turned his head seriously and said to him.
"Don't laugh, this place is not simple. I remember that back then, there were some items of unknown origin in the ghost market. Because they all had unspeakable secrets, most of them could only be sold at a low price, so there was a rumor that "good goods were sold in the ghost market."
Chu Tianci rubbed his forehead helplessly and said with a wry smile.
"You pulled me here in the middle of the night just to find good goods. Everyone is a fool. You are smart and you are waiting for you to choose good goods."
"My dad said you are quite good at appreciating antiques, and even Uncle Huo is willing to give up the disadvantage. I will bring you here today to see how much knowledge you have." Yue Qianling said arrogantly, pursing her lips and toes.
In the ghost market in Jiuyan Bridge, there are all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings.
After walking a few steps, Yue Qianling suddenly stopped and pointed at an old man on the side of the road with a smile.
"Look, you're here."
Chu Tianci looked in the direction of Yue Qianling's finger. An old man in his sixties sat with his legs raised. It was cold and oozing at around 4 a.m. The old man was wearing thin clothes, but his gray beard fluttered slightly, which made him feel like a fairy-like trait.
There was a table on the stall, a paper fan was shaking in his hand, and a sign stood behind him, with four words written on it.
The iron mouth is broken.
Before Chu Tianci could react, Yue Qianling had already pushed him to the stool in front of the table and sat down.
"He wants to tell fortunes."
Chu Tianci was about to get up when he found Yue Qianling's hand pressing tightly on his shoulder.
"Calculate the future for him." Yue Qianling said with a smirk.
"You don't believe in these things, why do you do so many things?" Chu Tianci said restlessly.
Yue Qianling lowered her head and said in his ear and smiled.
"Now, the old liar meets a little liar. I just want to see how powerful you are in your ability to cheat."
"You! Where can you joke about numerology days?"
Chu Tianci was anxious and found that Yue Qianling's hand was more forceful.
When the old man saw that there was a business coming, he could let Chu Tianci go, closed the paper fan and pointed at the sign behind him.
"Don't be afraid, little brother. The four words "stop" are not the gold that I, Zhao, put on my face. I have been setting up a fortune teller in this Jiuyanqiao Ghost Market for 30 years. I have been calling me a banxian for face, and I am not allowed to ask for money."
Chu Tianci had nothing to say, and nodded with a dry smile.
"Okay, you can help her calculate my future."
"Birthday and Eight Characters?" Zhao Banxian's paper fan was very similar.
"This... I don't know my birth date." Chu Tianci said in a dilemma.
"Don't pretend, how could you not know when you were born?" Yue Qianling pushed Chu Tianci and said loudly with her eyes.
"I...I really don't know."
"It doesn't matter if you don't know. Plum Blossom Yishu, Qimen Dunjia, divination lottery draw, you can choose any of them. I'm all-round."
"Then draw a lottery." Chu Tianci said calmly with a faint smile.
Zhao Banxian handed over the signboard, but slipped out without taking it firmly. He was about to put it back, but Chu Tianci shook his hand.
"No need, just this one."
"Beautiful beauty, don't worry about your worries. Peaches and plums are all day long and evening, and good people are free." Zhao Banxian looked at the signature in his hand, glanced at Yue Qianling standing beside Chu Tianci, and shook his head and said, "Little brother, your signature is not good or bad."
"What does it mean?" Yue Qianling asked curiously.
Zhao Banxian shook his head and thought about it in a pretty good manner.
"Little brother, the so-called SE character is a knife, and the warning is SE. Peach and plum trees are dying, which means you should not be twitchy, and you will be thinking about Li Xing when you pick peach blossoms. Good luck is free, so you should treat the girl around you well. She is your noble person, and you will definitely turn bad luck into good luck if you have any problems in the future."
"I'm fickle... I'm going to be sel." Yue Qianling laughed and turned around. "It's pretty accurate. I said you're good. No one believed me yet. Hahaha, look, I've calculated it all for you. And I'm still your noble person. I'll be kind to me in the future. Otherwise, if you offend me, no one will help you turn bad luck, hahaha."
Chu Tianci nodded calmly and said nothing.
"How much?"
"Haha, everything goes with the flow. If you have good luck, give more. If you have bad luck, give less." Zhao Banxian shook the paper fan and said indifferently.
Chu Tianci took out the money from his bag, counted only seventeen yuan, and hurriedly looked for it in the bag again.
Zhao Banshan saw that Chu Tianci was very generous, and he gave all the money he made every day as soon as he made a move, and he couldn't stop smiling.
"Little brother, enough, enough, just follow the flow, don't force it."
"It's not enough, there's still one yuan short." Chu Tianci smiled meaningfully and pushed the one yuan he found in front of him. "It's eighteen yuan in total, so you can order it, and the sign behind you happen to be under the eaves. The rain just rained last night on your sign. You'd better move the table forward a little."
Zhao Banxian put away the money, looked back at the signboard and found that it was indeed wet, and quickly pushed the table forward for half a meter.
When Zhao Banxian told Chu Tianci fortune, many people were curious and surrounded him to see it. An old man in the crowd was careless at first. When Chu Tianci pushed the 18 yuan in front of Zhao Banxian, and the last sentence he said, the old man looked at Chu Tianci again in shock.
Before Chu Tianci and Yue Qianling could go far, they heard the noise behind them. Yue Qianling walked back curiously, and more people surrounded Zhao Banxian's stall.
"It's so dangerous. If I hadn't pushed the table forward just now, I would have hit me on the head." Zhao Banxian got up from the ground and said with lingering fear.
A cat was lying on the eaves and accidentally kicked a sliding brick down, which happened to fall behind Zhao Banxian. Zhao Banxian was shocked and turned around and fell to the ground without firmly sitting down, just breaking the vase at the stall next to him.
"Master Zhao, this is the goods I just took back from the countryside. The things are not worth much, but you can't let me lose money."
"Don't yell, I broke the thing, how much will I pay for it?"
