Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 160: Tang Dynasty Antique Mirrors
Most of the missing villagers survived.
According to them, the village did do an unkind thing a long time ago because it felt dirty and they cleaned up a bunch of stray dogs. The puppy was stewed into a hot pot with a little chili stew, the puppy was slapped to death with a shovel, and the bitch was beaten in the legs and thrown at the foot of the mountain.
Maybe that's why the wild dogs are so smart, huh?
No unprovoked love, no unprovoked hatred.
The White Eyebrow Zen Master took the horn and several puppies and said that when the puppies grew up, he would give them to me.
Li Mazi stared at the corner and persisted.
How could Master Bai Mei not know what Li Mazi thinks? After all, the T-shirt man said earlier that the horn might be a little helpful to Chu Chu's condition.
Then Master Bai Mei smiled at Li Mazi, waiting to refine the horn into medicine and deliver it to him.
Less than a few days after returning, Chu Chu's illness got worse. He began to lose his hair, his face was pale, he used to talk nonsense in his dreams and his whole body was burning.
Li Mazi freaked out and took Chu Chu to the Grand Hospital in Beijing to stay in the intensive care unit. The protocol given by the doctor is conservative treatment, suspected of having some kind of undetected cancer.
Li Mazi agreed and threw all his savings on Chu Chu, but where's his money?
So Yin Xinyue and I each supported Li Mazi a little bit. Li Mazi cried to us and said, "He knows Chu Chu may not last long. He just wants to make Chu Chu feel more comfortable during the last period."
Looking at Chu Chu's dying breath, I was scared. I was really worried about the next second, Chu Chu would close his eyes forever. I wonder if Li Mazi can cheer up after Chu Chu's death?
Later, Chu Chu, at the time of endangerment, Bai Mei Zen Master finally sent the pills refined into horns, after taking them, Chu Chu finally saved a life. But it doesn't make much difference to a vegetable person, only three or four hours of the day is sober, most of the time sleeping...
In order for Chu Chu to continue to live in the hospital, Li Mazi runs almost every day to the ancient games market to find a business to earn money.
And the second business after the New Year was to come to the door at this time.
The client, a small rich woman acting as a micromerchant in Beijing, is said to have tens of millions in her hands.
Now micromerchants are really hot. Almost half of my circle of friends have some boring micromerchant ads every day. What masks, cosmetics, whitening needles. I don't know if they make any money, but this woman is quite rich, and she told me that she is a frontline agent for microcommerce, with tens of thousands of clients in 17 cities.
She asked us to meet at a cafe.
The woman dressed well, painted fine light makeup, a long shawl hair, worn an LV bag, a platinum ring and necklace, and walked in an uncertain position, like a model.
But I was naturally disgusted by this kind of flirtatious woman. So after we met, we ignored her and asked her what was going on.
She seemed cautious and secretly took off the mirror in the box and buttoned it back on the table, which made her whisper: "Shh, there's a man staring at me in the mirror all the time. ”
I stunned and looked in the mirror somehow: "Who's staring at you? ”
She said, "There's me. ”
I grinned and said, "Beauty, are you all right? You look in the mirror, you look in the mirror, you look in the mirror, you look in the mirror, you look in the mirror. It's weird to have someone else. ”
She was in a hurry: "I thought you were liars. Can't you see the sensitive situation? I mean, I lived in the mirror, and even when I didn't look in the mirror, I was in the mirror, and that's how my eyes looked at me. ”
I took a sip of the cool air, and I looked at her incredibly: "You said you'd be there when you didn't look in the mirror? You're sure it's you, not someone else. ”
She nodded immediately: "Yes, that's it. Come on, how much? How much? I'm busy. ”
Just after that, her WeChat rang, and she picked up her phone and looked at it and said a few words to it. Looks like another agent was recruited to pay for the agency.
I looked at Li Mazi, Li Mazi was a little impatient, and said: "Madam Song, why don't you go ahead and come back to us when you're done? ”
Ms. Song suddenly got angry: "What do you mean, this is the attitude of service? I paid for it. ”
I think Li Mazi wants to get angry, which is normal. According to the temper of the past, Li Mazi should have started shooting a long time ago.
But now that Ling Moon urgently needs money, Li Mazi endured it.
In the past, greed was pure greed, and he had a bottom line. But now, Li Mazi is‘ greedy 'for the woman he loves. He has an extra responsibility on his shoulders, and he has matured and stabilized a lot.
“Busy first! We waited." Li Mazi finally compromised and sighed slightly.
Ms. Song was talking to her cell phone for 10 minutes, and after the agent called him for $50,000, she put her phone down and stirred up the coffee in the cup and said, "Tell me, how long can we fix this? How much?”
I laughed in silence: "We are not Taoists, we are not ghost catchers, we are businessmen who deal with shady things. Can you tell me when you started feeling something wrong? Is there anything weird in the house? ”
“My mirror is weird!” Ms. Song said, "That mirror is a shadow. ”
I quickly explained: "So-called clichés are typically antiques with over a hundred years of history, not ordinary necessities. ”
“Well.” She said, "Then I think I know what it is. Why don't you guys come over to my house? ”
I nodded, I saw no shadows, and naturally I couldn't handle things right.
Ms. Song drives a BMW off-road with only two seats. She seemed to have a good impression of me and insisted that I get in the car and ask Li Mazi to take a taxi himself.
Li Mazi was angry, but he didn't say anything. He could only bite his teeth and promise.
In the car, Ms. Song told me patiently what had happened to her.
Turns out, Ms. Song is not native to Beijing.
But foreigners who fought in Beijing all had the ultimate dream of getting a Beijing account. Even if you can't get a Beijing account, you have to learn to speak Beijing, so that you have a Peking temperament, so when Ms. Song opens her mouth, it is the authentic Beijing cavity.
I heard that Beijing people like to pour antiques and raise small animals, so Ms. Song recently added a lot of antiques to her family, and she also had an alpaca, or grassy horse, as a pet.
The psychic event probably started when she bought a Tang Dynasty bronze mirror...
The bronze mirror is a very sophisticated carver, a royal pen at first glance, with a frame of gold, and a bracket made of good sandalwood.
Incredibly, the surfaces of the copper mirrors are polished smoothly, and the images are very clear, not much different from modern mirrors.
Ms. Song loved the bronze mirror because she felt that she would be more glamorous and spring-colored than her true self. This gave rise to a sense of pride that made Ms. Song covet, obsessed, as if she were addicted to drugs.
But the tenth day after she bought the mirror, Ms. Song noticed something was wrong. When she woke up in the morning and looked in the mirror, she found herself in the mirror and seemed a little out of pace.
For example, after dressing up in the mirror, she was about to turn her head away, but the light in the corner of her eye found her face still fixed in the mirror and smiled at herself.
She looked at it again and found it empty. Where else could she be?
At first she thought she was blind, so she didn't take it seriously. But over the next few days, she finds things getting unusual!
When she looks in the mirror, she often feels that the person in the mirror is not herself.
Because the person in the mirror often smiles at herself unexpectedly, even though she confirms she's not smiling.
Then wake up at night - when you go to the bathroom, you will inadvertently hear a strange laugh in the mirror, and when she goes to see it, you will see a 'self' smile in the mirror again.
But that smile flashed away, she thought it might be pure illusion, still didn't care, just put the bronze mirror in the drawer, not ready to use anymore, after all, inside the diaphragm should be panicked.
But since I put away the bronze mirrors, the situation has gotten worse! It's not just the strange portraits in the bronze mirrors, it's even the other mirrors in the house that are starting to show strange images.
Sometimes it's a bloody face, sometimes it's her own smile, even once she saw a strange woman, wearing a Tang Dynasty dress, walking around in the mirror...
She was frightened and dared not live at home anymore. She simply moved out of the neighborhood and rented an expensive villa on the outskirts of Beijing.
Weird events, however, have not been interrupted as a result, but have become more serious. Wherever there was a mirror, she could see herself in the mirror and the woman in the Tang Dynasty dress, and sometimes she found that the woman in the Tang Dynasty dress looked like herself.
Did she really make up her mind to get help, or was it the horror that happened last night? She was lying in bed - sleeping perfectly and suddenly she felt cold, so she wrapped her blanket tightly around her and just turned around and suddenly heard a cold voice: “I'm cold!”.
She immediately freaked out, opened her eyes immediately, but she almost didn't freak out.
There was one more person beside her, lying flat on the same pillow as herself, her eyes darkened, seven tricks bled, and her skin withered.
And that face, it looks exactly like her.
She jumped screaming and wanted to run out, and just opened the door. The man in the Tang Dynasty dress appeared cold at the door, and the ghost voice said: “If I want to live, you must die. ”
After that, he reached out his pale hands and grabbed her by the neck.
Just at this moment, a cock sounded, the ghost was scared, and a scream slowly disappeared.
Ms. Song was shocked. She ran to Pan Jiayuan Antique Play Market in one breath. She said that it might be fate. When she saw Li Mazi taking advantage of the Antique Play Market, she hired Li Mazi to handle the matter.
