After hanging up the phone, Feifei looked at the time and it was almost time to finish school.
Shen Xing followed her example and left a note on the table, telling her that he had something to go out for a while and would be back soon.
I took a taxi and went to the small commodity wholesale market.
In this wholesale market, there are all kinds of things for playing, decorating and wearing. There are all kinds of small accessories and gadgets emerging in an endless stream. Shen Xing searched for almost fifteen minutes and finally found a decoration accessories store.
In this store, I found metal bolts and metal buckles that can be placed in the wooden carvings of the wardrobe. There are more than ten models and sizes.
Shen Xing carefully compared them, selected three models, and purchased more than twenty at one time, thinking that they might be useful in the future.
Just after leaving the small commodity wholesale market, Li Naijing called again.
I have to say that the efficiency of the Special Case Investigation Team is indeed amazing.
This time Li Naijing told him that after she and Zhao Wenbo arrived, they had found and defeated Mei Ruolan's ghost, but there seemed to be something wrong there. She had searched it carefully, but couldn't find anything.
But for the sake of safety, the section of the corridor on the seventh floor of Jincheng Building close to He's family has been ordered to be blocked, and warning signs have been put up to prohibit entry.
The team leader Zheng Ruijun has been on a business trip for the past two days and needs to wait until he comes back to check and confirm. If there is no abnormality, the blockade will be lifted.
After listening to Li Naijing's words, Shen Xing knew that the period of waiting for Zheng Ruijun's return was the best time for him to take action. Once all the wood carvings of the wardrobe were completed, he would rush to take that guy away instead of waiting for Zheng Ruijun's return.
Without further ado, he returned to the "Tingwu" shop and prepared to take out a few small round wooden plugs that could be put into the hollow parts of the wood carvings in the wardrobe.
I had some of this stuff in the store before, and it just came in handy this time.
Shen Xing wasn't planning to open a store today. He encountered a lot of things in the past two days. When opening the store, he spent three days fishing and two days drying nets. He couldn't calm down.
Normally, it was almost his usual closing time.
Quickly finding the small round wooden stopper, Shen Xing closed the locker near the corner, stood up, turned around and found that a customer had entered the store just for a moment.
This is a decent-looking woman, about thirty years old, with a little makeup and wavy shoulder-length hair. She is wearing a lilac slim suit, a pair of purple high-heeled shoes, and holding a delicate Donkey handbag.
Perhaps for convenience, she did not put the handbag on her shoulders. Instead, she wrapped the gold zipper of the handbag twice around her right hand and held it like that.
Maybe Shen Xing had just opened the store door and was squatting in the corner looking for a cork when this woman came in. At this moment, she had slowly walked to the middle of the store, looking around as she walked, and her eyes were focused on a row of locked cabinets. .
The items placed in this row of cabinets happen to be Xuepu (eye pupils) and face (mask).
When Shen Xing saw her, the woman was looking at the two wood carvings with great interest.
"Hello, ma'am, what do you need?"
Shen Xing looked at the time and felt a little anxious, but it was inconvenient to rush the customers.
At the moment, he was concerned about the wardrobe of rare items placed in the He family. He was afraid that Zheng Ruijun would suddenly rush back to the Jincheng Building overnight if his brain suddenly twitched. If this guy was very skilled and discovered the abnormality in the wardrobe and dealt with it, all his previous efforts would be wasted. .
The woman turned her head and smiled at him, pointing to the top of her head: "Excuse me, boss, please turn on the light above my head. I can't see clearly."
Because Shen Xing didn't intend to do business when he entered the store, he only turned on half of the lights in the store. At this moment, the light above the woman's head was not turned on.
Shen Xing didn't say anything, and walked over to turn on all the lights in the store. Although he was anxious, he still stood aside patiently.
The woman once again approached the wooden sculptures of Xue Tong and Zhanpi and examined them carefully.
There are names below these two wood carvings, one is "Eye Pupil" and the other is "Mask", and there is no other unnecessary introduction.
In fact, the appearance of the wooden sculpture of the eye pupil is not as ferocious and terrifying as the blood pupil that Shen Xing encountered. On the contrary, under his production, the wooden sculpture of the blood pupil is full of absurdity and uniqueness, presenting a kind of lifelike yet different from reality. Feeling of detachment.
After watching the woman for a while, Shen Xing became impatient. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the woman speak.
"How much does this 'eye'... cost?"
Before Shen Xing could speak, she added: "It gives me a very strange feeling. I always believe in my own vision. This thing... well, it's not bad."
"From your point of view, how much do you think it is worth?" Shen Xing said with a smile, deliberately appearing enigmatic.
The woman lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then gently touched her chin with her slender index finger: "It won't be less than ten thousand."
"Please sit down, ma'am. The chairs over here are cushioned. Come on, I'll make you tea!"
In fact, when Shen Xing first saw this woman, he didn't say that one of the reasons why he didn't do business today was that he found that the other woman's dress and temperament were very different.
Usually it is rare for a customer like this to come into his small shop. Of course, some customers just look at it casually and will not really buy it.
However, as long as the other party likes your works, they may become regular customers in the future, bringing you a stable income.
Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have a good eye, and he immediately spotted his two most proud wood carvings, which were also the most expensive wood carvings in the entire store so far.
As for the specific price, Shen Xing actually has a mental price, which is about 12,000 for the blood-pupil wood carving and about 30,000 for the cheeky mask wood carving.
The reason for such a price is that wood carvings like Xue Tong, which is close to the artistic style, cannot only be interpreted by the realistic image, but must recognize the sense of detachment from reality that it exudes all the time.
Anyone who understands will definitely feel this way.
As for the face wood carving, Shen Xing once experimented. When he stared at it, unless he was trying to accumulate mental antibodies, he would easily have the illusion that the face was familiar.
He believed that not only himself, but also others would have the same illusion when seeing this face mask, and vaguely see some familiar faces to him.
It's just that Shen Xing didn't find anyone like him some time ago.
In fact, in the final analysis, the most valuable thing about these two wood carvings is that they naturally have a bit of abnormal characteristics. This thing is very ethereal. Some sensitive people may be able to feel it, but some people cannot.
Looking at the appearance of this woman now, it seems that she has not noticed anything unusual about the face-skinned wooden carving, but is more or less attracted by the characteristics of the blood pupil and has a strong interest in the blood pupil.
After making a pot of tea for the other party, Shen Xing opened the glass cabinet, took out the Xue Tong and placed it in front of the woman: "Take a closer look."
