However, the stall owner still couldn't control his subconscious stiffness.
The expression on his face was even more embarrassing and panicked.
This feeling of being in the center of a cold wave is so refreshing.
The uncle was about to burst into tears.
Why does he feel like this girl has a problem with him?
However, he obviously didn't do anything.
The uncle felt so wronged.
…
"Please show me the round wooden cage next to you."
The polite and courteous words give people a sense of strength that cannot be refused.
Su Youjin said with great patience.
She knew she shouldn't get angry until she understood the situation.
However, the mere fact that this cage belonged to the stall owner in front of her was enough to prevent her from having a good look towards him.
Fortunately, she was used to being cold and hiding her emotions.
Therefore, most people really can't tell whether she is angry or not.
…
"Uh, this?"
The stall owner was so surprised that he stopped shrinking and straightened his back.
"Yes."
Su Youjin unabashedly looked at the silver in the wooden cage...
The flickering amber eyes made it impossible to guess her inner thoughts.
"But this one is very old and doesn't look good."
How could such a beautiful girl fall in love with this?
The stall owner was a little confused and puzzled.
It's not that the stall owner is upright, but it's an obvious fact. Even if he tries to cover it up, it's just a joke.
Besides, this cage...
…
Indeed, as the stall owner said, compared to other items on the stall, this round wooden cage is darker in color, with ugly stains and patches of color on it. The wooden strips are of different sizes, and many edges are no longer smooth and hairy. Rough.
No matter how you look at it, it is an ugly and old object that no one will pick up even if it is thrown into the trash can.
"Then why does the boss still keep you?"
Xiao Xiao asked seemingly curiously.
"I can't help it. The things passed down from our ancestors are said to be treasures."
The stall owner said with a sneer, feeling a little embarrassed after talking about it.
It's quite a bit like "This is it, why should I give it back to you?"
Only his lowered eyelids blocked the obscure light in his eyes.
…
He did think so at first.
But later, his thoughts changed drastically.
…
He used to think that everything would come true, and he studied this cage for a long time.
However, this is a hollow cage, made of wood, not a box, and not made of any thick material. Naturally, there cannot be anything like a mezzanine that can hide things.
He held the cage up to the sun, tried immersing it in water, and also tried a little fire. After all, it was passed down from generation to generation in his family. He couldn't try too recklessly, otherwise he would destroy this broken cage. His father, His grandfather didn't beat him to death yet.
As a result, nothing was found.
In the end, he even foolishly tried to shed blood to identify his master.
Mainly because I was young and ignorant, my brain was poisoned, and I suddenly had such a seizure.
The cage still has blood stains from that time on it.
Unfortunately, there was still no response.
...
After trying all the methods he could think of to no avail, he had to admit that this treasure that was said to have been passed down from his ancestors was nothing more than an ordinary wooden cage.
He didn't understand how such a thing became an heirloom of his family.
Although his family is just an ordinary country family, they are not so poor that they would take this kind of thing as a family heirloom.
...
But according to his deceased grandfather, this thing can bring good luck.
He originally scoffed at it, thinking it was old people's superstition.
However, something happened later that completely changed his view.
...
That year, he went home with his fellow villagers to celebrate the New Year.
Encountered an out-of-control truck on the road.
As a result, the fellow villager died on the spot. He was holding the small round wooden cage on the side of the road, but he only had a scratch.
...
At that time, he was carrying his family's heirloom to the city for appraisal. Even if there was nothing strange about this thing, after all, it was an object that had been passed down for so many years and it was still intact. Although it was due to his various attempts. He became scarred, and his father beat him severely with a cane because of this.
However, no matter what, there should be some value.
He didn't want to sell it, he just wanted to have some confidence in his mind to prepare for emergencies.
When the situation is really urgent, no matter whether it is a family heirloom or not, a living person is always more important than a dead object.
…
Before the car accident, he was walking side by side with his fellow villagers and chatting about the mountains.
After the car accident, they lived and died.
And, he was virtually unscathed.
All the onlookers, as well as the police and ambulance personnel who arrived later, were amazed and thought that he was blessed by God. They all joked that he should buy a lottery ticket while his luck was still there, and maybe he would win the jackpot.
...
He didn't know whether he was really lucky to be blessed by God, or whether his family's heirloom protected him.
At that time, he suddenly remembered his grandfather's last words.
The old man repeatedly asked him to keep their family heirlooms, saying that they could help their family avoid disasters.
Is it true?
Whether it was true or not, he wanted to believe it was true after coming back from the near death line.
...
This humble, old and dirty ball-shaped wooden cage is indeed a treasure of their family.
Since then, this treasure has never left his side.
He always carried it with him and never left it.
He didn't know if it was because of its function. In the past few decades, he had never encountered any disaster, although occasionally he would regret that it would have been better if this treasure had the blessing of wealth.
But peace is a blessing.
He is no longer young and understands that he should be content.
…
Therefore, he will never sell this baby.
Besides, to take a step back, even if his family's heirloom didn't have such a magical effect, he wouldn't have sold it unless he was at the end of his rope.
After all, this is a family heirloom that has been passed down to this day.
What's more, it has such an almost miraculous power of protection?
...
However, he didn't understand why this girl fell in love with his treasure?
It's not that he is sensitive, he still has this discernment after running a stall for many years.
Although the girl's expression was cold, her eyes looking at his baby were shining.
…
Obviously outsiders should not know its strangeness.
The stall owner couldn't help but feel vigilant in his heart, but the expression on his face was very honest and helpless, "I can't help it. It's something passed down from my ancestors. When my grandfather left, I was told to keep it safe. , to be passed down from generation to generation.”
"As a junior, it's not easy to do things that disobey your elders."
