Ma Xiaoquan and Lisa had just walked a few steps when the stall owner suddenly put down the book and oil lamp in his hand, stepped forward and blocked Ma Xiaoquan and Lisa's path.
"What? Is the price inappropriate?" Ma Xiaoquan asked the stall owner with a smile.
"No, no, no, it's very suitable. It's just... I have something else here. I wonder if you want it, brother?"
"Something else?" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, "Not interested."
"Alas, don't leave!" said the stall owner, "Brother, I haven't even read it yet, how do you know you're not interested? What if it's a good thing?"
"Huh? It's interesting!" Ma Xiaoquan stopped and said with his chin, "Then take it out and take a look?"
"No, no, no..." The stall owner shook his head, lowered his head and whispered, "You can only look at this thing quietly."
Ma Xiaoquan frowned slightly. It is indeed possible to see things quietly, but... the dark market is a shady trading market, and murders and smuggling happen from time to time. Although the person in front of him does not look like that
Raising people, but their hearts are separated from each other, who knows what will happen next?
Ma Xiaoquan is not worried about himself. Thanks to the two Hawke sisters' ability capsules given by Dr. Ming, although they cannot fully exert their power, they can still defend against sneak attacks. It's just Lisa...she
If you don't know martial arts, it will be very dangerous if you fall into a passive position.
After thinking for a moment, Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said to the stall owner: "I appreciate your kindness, but I have already bought what I need, so I won't read what you want to see with me."
"Brother..." The stall owner didn't seem to give up, "You must take a look. Even if you don't use it, you won't lose a piece of meat after taking a look, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan frowned and looked at Lisa. Lisa understood, hummed softly, and looked at Ma Xiaoquan with an "I trust you" look.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled helplessly, scratched his scalp, and said to the stall owner: "Okay."
"Well, okay, then please follow me. By the way, my name is Zhao Guang. Brother, you can call me A Guang."
"A Guang? Okay, then Brother A Guang, lead the way."
"Well, please come this way..."
Ma Xiaoquan followed Zhao Guang around a few turns and came to a private house. Lisa raised her head and looked at it, and couldn't help but pull Ma Xiaoquan's clothes with some fear.
Ma Xiaoquan patted Lisa's hand. In fact, he didn't have much confidence in his heart, but in front of Lisa, as a man, he couldn't show his worries.
"Well, Guang, you brought us to this private house, what exactly do you want us to see?"
"Oh, please wait a moment..." Zhao Guang turned around and said to Ma Xiaoquan and Lisa with a smile, "Please wait a moment, I will call someone over."
"Call someone to come? Brother Aguang, you mean, you're not the one selling it?"
Zhao Guang nodded and said: "Of course it's not me, I'm just a middleman. Well, brother, please wait a moment and let me notify the seller!"
Ma Xiaoquan made a gesture of invitation and watched Zhao Guang leave.
Lisa tugged at the corner of Ma Xiaoquan's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Sir, why do I always feel something is wrong? How can anyone buy and sell things like this? Is there such a way of buying and selling things in the dark market?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head. The letter left by Mr. Ding did not mention such a transaction method, but seeing the mysterious look on Zhao Guang's face, Ma Xiaoquan didn't want to miss it. No matter what he was selling, he should at least take a look before talking about it.
While Ma Xiaoquan was deep in thought, Zhao Guang's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Brother, just wait!"
Ma Xiaoquan turned around and saw Zhao Guang holding a night light and looking at him with a smile. Behind him was a man wearing a black robe and a cloak.
Zhao Guang stepped forward with a smile, gave up his position, and introduced the man in black robe to Ma Xiaoquan: "Brother, this is the person who wants to show you something good."
"Excuse me, who are you?" Ma Xiaoquan asked politely.
"Young Master is Ma Xiaoquan, is this Master Ma?"
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned and asked: "How did you know it was me? Also, are you a woman?"
Ma Xiaoquan was very surprised. He originally thought that the person doing business with him should be an old guy, but when he heard the other party's voice, it turned out to be a woman? What's going on?
Lisa was also stunned, but she was different from Ma Xiaoquan. As a woman, Lisa was instinctively wary of the woman in black robe.
The woman in black robe saw through Lisa's worries at a glance. She smiled and took off the cloak on her head. With the night light in Zhao Guang's hand, Ma Xiaoquan saw the face of the woman in black robe.
This is a rather handsome-looking woman. Although she cannot be called beautiful, she has a unique charm.
"Master Ma, there is no need to panic. We are just trading and will not do anything to you, so... please don't worry about the girl next to Master Ma." The woman in black robe said with a smile.
"Oh, okay then, what's the girl's name..."
"Master Ma, you can call me Qianqian..."
"Oh, Miss Qianqian, um, okay, then what good thing does Miss Qianqian want me to see? Don't Miss Qianqian think that I won't want it even if I see what you got?"
"Hehe, this is not certain. I dare not tell others, but Mr. Ma will definitely be interested in what I Qianqian took out..."
"Haha, if that's the case, let me take a look."
Qianqian smiled and nodded to Zhao Guang. Zhao Guang stepped forward in two steps, pushed open the door of the private house, and made a gesture of invitation.
Ma Xiaoquan took Lisa into the private house. Zhao Guang lit the oil lamp in the room, and the room immediately became bright.
"Please sit down!" Qianqian greeted Ma Xiaoquan politely. After Ma Xiaoquan sat down, Qianqian smiled and pulled out a scroll from her sleeve pocket.
When Ma Xiaoquan saw the scroll, he subconsciously asked: "Is this a painting?"
Qianqian smiled and said nothing, and slowly unfolded the scroll.
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward to take a look and was stunned.
"Where did you get this?"
Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled, pointed to a place on the scroll, and said slowly: "Master Ma, don't worry, please look here again..."
Ma Xiaoquan lowered his head, followed the direction of Qianqian's fingers and looked carefully, and then he took a deep breath.
"I bought this scroll." Ma Xiaoquan said simply.
"Oh, you decided so quickly?" Qianqian raised her head and looked at Ma Xiaoquan thoughtfully.
Ma Xiaoquan snorted coldly: "Yes, I have decided. At the same time, I have another question to ask you, where is Qinghan...? Who are you?"
Qianqian blinked her eyes and said in surprise: "Qinghan? What Qinghan? Is the woman's back painted on this scroll the Qinghan you mentioned?"
