The shopkeeper went in to get the gems themselves, but did not invite Zhao Xiaonian to go in with him.

When I was free, I got up and walked around the pawnshop and looked around.

The high counter is the vast majority of the furnishings in the front hall. There is a small door next to it, which is locked inside and needs to be opened from the inside out.

In addition, there is a painting on the wall on the right, which is not a rare thing, "The Eight Horses Picture".

The so-called "Eight Horses" is a painting of eight horses running.

This painting is a bit of a beginning, because it is a painting that has been very popular since the Six Dynasties.

According to legend, it is based on the eight horses of King Mu of Zhou as the subject, and the eight good horses that King Mu of Zhou drove for him when he visited Kunlun Mountain.

Wang Jia of Jin recorded in "Shiyi Ji": "The names of the eight horses are called "Zhidi", "Shengdi", "Shengyu", "Shengyu", "Shengyu", "Shengyu", "Shengyu", "Shengyu", "Shengyu", "Shengyu", "Shengyu", "Shengyu", "Shengyu", "Eight"

Tang Dynasty writer Liu Zongyuan once wrote a prose record - "A Brief Introduction to the Pictures of Eight Horses"

Therefore, since ancient times, "The Eight Horses Picture" is a great painting in Shangde Hall, mainly because its meaning is profound and its subject matter is extremely loyal.

If you want to talk about your understanding of "Eight Horses Picture", it still comes from Chen Congwen's "Eight Horses Picture", although you haven't finished reading it...

Modern people are particularly superstitious about two numbers, one is six and the other is eight.

Zhao Xiaonian also followed the crowd and attached it to the bones. Whenever he encountered anything, he would turn around the number four, as far as he could.

For example, if you buy a fruit, you would rather pay more than buy six more than four.

This may be the cleanliness in the hearts of many people.

Now it seems that a pair of "Eight Horses" is hung in the pawnshop...

It seems that the shopkeeper's thoughts are the same.

Seeking profit and avoiding harm is the nature of human beings.

After watching for a long time, why didn't the shopkeeper come out? Zhang Long couldn't wait and said, "Why haven't he come out yet?"

really……

"Hey, where are the people?"

The guy was full of spring breeze, carrying a teapot and a towel.

He happily packed the table, soaked a pot of Chunjian, and came over with a smile and asked: "Master, you have a tea and are not well received. Please forgive me."

Zhao Xiaonian urged impatiently: "You go and see your shopkeeper, why haven't you come yet?"

"This..." The guy was embarrassed.

"The lord of the fort, I'm not allowed to go in if the shopkeeper goes into the treasure house to get things."

“…”

That's true.

In the northwest, where the cold is aversion, business is already slow, and few people are the key. This shopkeeper only has one or two friends at most. This is called a friend, and he is also the successor to be trained in the future, or an apprentice. Learning skills starts from the most basic.

Set rules.

If the master had nodded, this disciple would never dare to disobey the master's intentions.

This is called inheritance.

What is inherited?

The first is rules and virtue.

Zhao Xiaonian understands this, but now is the important time, who can still wait?

He couldn't help but curse, "Damn, he won't come out for a day, so he still asked me to wait for a day? Go, urge me!"

This is the right thing.

The guy ran in happily and shouted several times: "Shopkeeper, the shopkeeper's... Master... Master?"

No response?

Zhao Xiaonian and Zhang Long, who were watching the painting, looked at each other.

The two followed in quickly, followed the sound and were in the study room in the back hall. There was a door made of iron railings, and the guy stood at the door and shouted.

The iron railing is still locked inside, and it seems that the protection is high-end!

only……

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, where are the people?" Zhao Xiaonian shouted twice and questioned.

The guy frowned and said, "He's inside, but for some reason, he doesn't reply."

Don't reply?

"Get out of the way!" Zhao Xiaonian pulled out the big sword on his waist, and the sword light was covered with blue light, activated internal strength, and the sword intent emerged, illuminating the lock on the door was a sword!

Dingdang—

The sword light flashed and the lock shattered.

Open the door and rushed in, and it was imprinted into your eyes. First of all, in this not-so-large room, the shopkeeper rolled his eyes and foamed at the mouth, and was twitching there!

Is this epilepsy?

"Shopkeeper!" The guy was startled.

Exchange, Huoxiang Zhengqi Water.

Throwing it to the guy, Zhao Xiaonian said in an orderly tone: "Give him a drink!"

Then, he glanced at the furnishings in the house and his eyes quickly locked in a small iron box in front of him.

Almost exactly the same as the method of Fugui pawnshop, the iron box was covered with yellow silk cloth, and now, eight stones were quietly lying inside...

“…”

No wonder the shopkeeper lay flat.

"Pinch the person!"

Seeing that he didn't wake up after drinking Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, Zhang Long made another move to the client.

The guy didn't care, so he reached out and pinched hard, and pinched hard. Uh... Wow... cough cough...

This local method worked, and the shopkeeper's leisurely woke up.

As if he was hit, his whole body began to change, and his eyes, which were originally shining, became dark and unsightly at this moment.

"Pillar" Where are you?

"Shopkeeper, what's wrong with you? Why can't you see it?"

"Pillar, look, are the gems in the box still there?"

"gem?"

The guy got up ignorantly and searched for it. Finally, he focused his attention on the iron box, where there were eight stones...

"Shopkeeper, something happened. This box is not a gem, it's a stone, a stone!"

"What? Stone? Column, take a look!"

"The shopkeeper is really a stone!" The guy couldn't believe it, so he reached out and took out the stone and looked carefully. After looking at it for a long time, it was still a stone.

He couldn't help but exclaim: "Shopkeeper, could someone have replaced the gem with a stone?"

"Bastard! Zhuzi, I'm useless to treat you so well. You actually stole the gem! Bastard!" The shopkeeper suddenly jumped up, and caught Zhuzi and said, "Brother Cao shampoo"

He slapped the pillar so hard that he was confused, and he didn't even know what happened. Then the shopkeeper stepped on him with a kick, touched and shouted, "Come on, catch the thief!"

Zhao Xiaonian and Zhang Long stood silently in the room watching what was happening.

for a long time……

"Hey! Why?" Zhao Xiaonian cursed: "If something happens, frame him?"

"Master, Master, where are you? No, my gem was stolen. It was this pillar, the pillar! It was him who stole the gem!"

"Hey, are you blind?"

"Ah? Ah! I can't see, I can't see! I can't see! Ah—— Zhuzi must have given me a medicine! Master, you have to make the decision for me! Make the decision!"

As he said that, the shopkeeper shivered and touched the box on the right, took out a flawless jade bi from the box, touched Zhao Xiaonian's arm with his eyes tense, and then touched it on his hand, shouting: "Master, be the master of the castle, he stole the gems, Zhuzi, he stole the gems! This bastard wants to kill me! If General Yang knew that the gems were gone, my whole family would have to die!Master, you can be the master of the gems for me!"

this……

Look at the guy who was already beating on the ground, and then look at the flawless jade bi he sent!

Zhao Xiaonian,

Frown...
Chapter completed!
