Chapter 21 Under the Mirror
Ah Hai looked up at the blind man in front of him who was wearing the costumes of the Republic of China period, looking like a charlatan of the world:
"You blind man are still playing with antiques. Look at your poor look?"
The blind man smiled with a pursed lips and turned around and left.
Ah Hai cursed quietly and continued to lower his head and play with other fake antiques.
Grandpa held a cigarette in his mouth and kept wandering around the stall. After so long, he didn't even look down. From beginning to end, there was only one blind man who came to play with him.
"Ahai, is this reliable? Why doesn't you even have a bird? If you can't sell it, I have to go back to do hard work."
Ah Hai glanced at grandpa impatiently:
"Don't be so impatient. How long has it been? If you want to catch a big fish, you have to wait."
In order to sell antiques today, the two of them combed their hair smoothly and even bought a new suit. After all, antiques are important, and antiques are also important. But after so long, the appearance does not seem to attract anyone to take a look at the antiques on the ground. This is a broken county town. There are actually not many rich people, so who have free money to buy antiques.
"Dixin, do you think we are in the wrong place?"
"Nonsense, who are there in this broken county? I think I have to go to the provincial capital. There are many people there, so I'm stupid!"
As soon as my grandfather finished speaking, Ah Hai started to pack up the things on the ground. Seeing this, my grandfather quickly packed up. The car to the provincial capital drove immediately, so he had to catch up with the car immediately!
My father got up a little late today, and it was already nine o'clock in the morning when he went out. His wife and father were going out to work, so he quickly rode his bike to the construction site. If the foreman was late, he should scold people.
As soon as he rode to Ah Hai's door, he saw something seemed to be on the straw pile.
When I looked closer, it seemed that there were two people lying on it: they were my father and Ah Hai who had just been released from the mental hospital!
How could these two people lie on the straw? Didn’t grandpa go to work? I went out early this morning to lie with a big man. Although my father has a very positive outlook, I really can’t figure it out when I see this.
"Dad, Uncle Hai, you two are..."
The two of them were still lying quietly on the straw without saying a word.
My father was frightened. If these two people had died suddenly here, they slowly stepped forward to test the aura of the two.
Fortunately, he is still alive.
But these two people are lying here, their eyes are closed and they can't wake up. It's really a bit like the book says that the soul is out of the body.
My grandmother, who had just recovered, was preparing meals at home. When she saw her father walking back in a hurry:
"Minfeng, what are you doing? Haven't you gone out to work? What's the matter so urgent? Are you just so anxious?"
"Dad... Dad and Ah Hai were lying on the straw pile without any movement!"
"What!"
Grandma quickly threw down the vegetable basket in her hand and asked her father to take it to see what happened in a while.
The two were dragged down from the straw pile by their father and placed on the ground. If they were not on the ground to verify whether they were alive, it would be a bit like two corpses just like this.
"This is not really a soul out of body!" After grandma finished speaking, she asked her father to tow the tricycle at home and quickly loaded the two people onto the bicycles. The old lady in the City God Temple seemed to be alive before, but now she has just moved a little farther away.
The blind man who appeared at the foundation digging site back then came to these two people:
"Don't waste your energy. They will recover before this evening. Now let's take them to bed. Don't wake up and catch a cold again."
The blind man picked up the iron plate and the small stick and knocked it while leaving.
My father didn't know whether he should believe this person's words, so he turned to look at his mother behind him:
"Mom, what do you think you should do this?"
Grandma stood there and thought for a while: "Forget it, believe him and move them to the bed. If you still haven't woken up in the evening, then set off."
After grandma asked his father to rectify the two of them, she urged him to go to work and sat next to the two of them and waited slowly.
Two people who had just arrived in the provincial capital discovered a very important thing: they didn’t know the way!
This is the most embarrassing thing. Although the people and cars in this provincial capital looked like they were rich, where would they set up a stall!
The two people walked aimlessly, and the two people who had no idea at all had no idea which direction they were.
An old man walking slowly looked at these two people:
"You are selling things from the countryside. I saw that there was no museum. There were people like you behind me. Go there, and you two have a good harvest."
After the two people who had no idea thanked him, they hurried to the place where the old man pointed. The entire street was full of small commodities, snacks, and antiques. There were also many familiar people: Acheng!
When the three of them saw each other, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
Ah Hai and his grandfather found an empty space and arranged the things one by one. Sure enough, after arriving in the provincial capital, more and more people looked down at the antiques. There were endless people asking about the origin and price of these things, but only selling some small items, but many people still dared not buy large items at high prices.
Ah Hai used the money he had just earned to buy two lunch boxes. The two of them were swallowing each other and drooling, making Ah Cheng drool as he watched.
Just as the two were having fun, a man in a suit and tie and wearing a gold watch picked up the only real antique on the stall: the mirror that almost killed Ah Hai’s wife.
The moment he saw this man picking up the mirror, Ah Hai's eyes were almost popping out, and the eager eyes almost swallowed the rich man.
"Boss, how do you sell this mirror?"
Ah Hai swallowed the rice in his mouth, and was about to compare with his hands three thousand, but his three fingers were not yet stretched out:
"Is it OK with 300,000?"
Ah Hai and his grandfather both squirted out the rice in their mouths, causing the rich man in front of him to have rice grains covered with two people's saliva. Ah Hai hurried up to wipe them clean:
"Hey, this boss really has a vision. This thing is the best artifact here. I just came out of the soil and laid the soil myself."
The rich man ignored what Ah Hai said, nor did he care about the fact that the two of them spit out rice on their faces.
"This mirror, 300,000, I want it. If you don't have any objections, then wait here for me to get the money."
Ah Hai slapped the food in his grandfather's hand to the ground:
"It's all like this, I'll eat this. Let's have a big meal later!"
Ah Hai agreed to this man who wanted a mirror. He originally thought that the mirror would cost at most three or four thousand yuan. The money was already a huge sum at that time. The 300,000 yuan was considered an astronomical level for his grandfather who was once a rich man.
Although my grandfather was already scared by the situation in front of him, he still laughed foolishly with Ah Hai.
The mirror dug out from my home is so valuable. If I dig out all the things in the foundation, I wouldn’t be a millionaire!
The man in a suit and tie is back, but he has an extra box in his hand:
"There are 300,000 yuan in it. You can take a look at it yourself. If there is no problem, I will take away this mirror!"
Ah Hai opened the box and carefully clicked it, thirty-five!
Ahai has never seen so much money since he was a child. The box of money left Ahai and his father stunned. One person was 150,000 yuan, which was enough for grandpa to turn over!
The two of them threw the remaining antiques to Acheng, who was also scared by the sky-high transaction. Ahai, who entered this business on the first day, gave him a warning first, and he fooled such a large sum of money on the first day. The person in the suit was really stupid or too rich. But after thinking about it carefully, the mirror seemed to be not in the sack he gave Ahai. Could it be that Ahai hid some good things and didn't tell him that he hadn't photographed Ahai's flattery before and now he really regretted it.
However, there are ways for others to get what you don’t have.
Instead of actually having a big meal, the two of them quickly found a car to send themselves home.
At the same time, the two people lying on the bed woke up and saw the two people next to them, but they didn't seem to know that they had been lying in the bed for a day!
"What's wrong with you two? You are all lying on this day, how can you wake up?" The blind man was right. These two people really woke up before the evening, and there were only a few minutes left before the evening. It seemed that this blind man was really a paradise.
"We two went to the provincial capital to buy things. Let's see how much money we made this time!" Grandpa happily took out the box in his hand, containing the box worth 300,000 yuan.
"This... what's going on? I've been here for a day. Why did you suddenly have a box in your hands?" Grandma couldn't figure out what's going on now, and she felt like she was just having her own fantasy after staying here for a day.
Ah Hai told his grandmother everything. After returning from the provincial capital, the two of them lay on the bed and rested for a while. When they woke up, they saw grandmother, but grandmother stayed by the two of them all day without leaving. What was going on!
On a dark path, a blind man holding a bamboo pole was walking slowly. There was no one on the road, and there was a smiling mouth under his sunglasses.
The 300,000 yuan bill was placed in front of my grandma, unless she had hallucinations all day, but when she asked her father who had just returned from get off work, her father did move the two people into bed in the morning. Four people, four mouths, but she told two completely different stories.
What happened on this day? While the four people were sitting at Ah Hai’s house wondering, the sirens at the door disturbed their thoughts:
"Xu Dahai, Xu Dixing, you have broken the law, come with me!"
