Qin Bai glanced at them. They didn't dare to move. He turned around and headed towards Guobei County. Ning Caichen quickly followed.
It had been a long time since he had been in contact with the county town, and he couldn't help but feel nostalgic. This kind of scene of people coming and going was indeed very lively.
The narrow streets are lined with street vendors selling wontons or pasta, and the aroma of the food fills the air.
Qin and Bai stopped and walked around for a while. He found that some of the stalls sold some fragmentary goods, and he could tell at a glance that they were leftovers from the stolen goods sold by bandits.
Moreover, outside the entire county, he did not see acres of farmland when he came, indicating that the people here really relied on officialdom for their livelihood.
The system prompt sounded.
[I don’t know what I like in the painting at first glance, but I already see the person in the painting]: I bought Nie Xiaoqian’s painting and gave it to myself. Reward: Sign-in time - 5, points 12, elementary painting skills. "
This achievement is neither difficult nor simple, but since it is done easily, it is not a bad idea to buy the painting first.
Seeing that Qin Bai wanted to continue wandering around, Ning Caichen couldn't wait any longer. He took out the paper and looked at the address on it and said, "Brother Qin, I'll go to the restaurant to collect the bill first. It should be on the street."
"Okay, then you'd better be careful."
Qin Bai kept his eyes on the surrounding stalls and focused on finding calligraphy and painting dealers.
Seeing this, Ning Caichen wanted to turn around and leave, but was pulled back again.
"Just going to collect the bill?" Qin Bai couldn't help but interrupt as he saw him holding the account book, looking like a primary school student going to the canteen to buy crispy noodles.
"What should I do? Please ask Brother Qin to teach me." Ning Caichen didn't have much experience, but thinking that the other party was older than him, he immediately humbly asked for advice.
"Come on, come on, hold a machete close to your body, yes, yes, raise your sleeves."
"Is this really true?"
"Don't worry, that's all. Besides, I'll be here soon. With me here, what are you afraid of?"
"Okay, then I'll take the first step."
Watching Ning Caichen leave, Qin Bai continued to look for the art dealer, but he didn't want to be the first to get there.
After a long circuit, he found a merchant selling calligraphy and paintings next to a shop. Even this kind of literate occupation had a gangster air in Guobei County.
When the calligraphy and painting dealer saw Qin Bai, he said nothing and mysteriously stuffed a thin book over him.
Qin Bai was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and immediately stuffed it into his arms. The appearance of the two of them during the transaction was indeed a bit underworld.
"This is an illustration of Jin Ping Mei that is strictly prohibited by the government. I am the only one in the entire county who has it. I think the good guy knows his stuff, so I came here to show it to you." The calligraphy and painting dealer said with a smile, giving him a look of understanding.
Qin Bai was not really greedy, but he was mainly curious. After all, he had seen many big scenes on the Internet in his previous life, and an ancient pornographic book was nothing to make a fuss about.
"I'll buy another painting, and I'll include it all at that time."
"It seems that he is a big customer. If he buys a painting, it will be given to you as a gift of friendship."
The calligraphy and painting dealer's eyes lit up. He thought he was a tall and handsome person, so he took the initiative to solicit Jin Ping Mei's business. He didn't expect that he would be interested in calligraphy and painting. It seemed that he was not good-looking.
If Qin Bai knew what he was thinking, he would definitely give him a punch. After all, he was also the head of the scholar's case, and he was already a big scholar in ancient times.
But at least the two of them seemed to care about each other. Qin Bai looked at the stalls and found that most of the paintings and calligraphy were painted by unknown people, with varying levels of quality.
He touched one painting after another, and when he stopped at one of the paintings of a woman combing her hair, the system's prompt sounded again.
"How to sell this piece?" Qin Bai looked at it and asked.
The one painted above is Nie Xiaoqian. The painting is not very high-quality, just ordinary, otherwise it would not be Qin Bai's turn to buy it.
It only really brought out a trace of Nie Xiaoqian's charm. The artist probably met Nie Xiaoqian by chance and did not draw it on the spot.
The calligraphy and painting dealer made a gesture and asked tentatively: "Twelve..."
The hammer in Qin Bai's hand accidentally fell to the ground and cracked the green bricks, making the calligraphy and painting dealer's eyelids jump.
"I think fifty cents is about the same. After all, I don't recognize the woman above. If she's famous, she'll be worth some money."
"Okay, okay." The calligraphy and painting dealer nodded helplessly and agreed. It seemed that he would definitely not be able to make any money.
Qin Bai took out a small piece of broken silver, which was worth about fifty coins, and threw it to the other party.
Then he rolled up the calligraphy and painting, tied it behind his back together with the weapon, and headed towards the restaurant.
Qin Bai planned to stay in Guobei County for a few more days, so he had plenty of time, and only five days had passed since the fifteenth day requested by the sign-in person.
Of course, he didn't plan to go until the last day or two. He always felt that if time was too tight, there might be some variables.
However, it is probably impossible to meet Yan Chixia in Guobei County. She actually doesn't like to interact with people, and she spends many years walking in the deep mountains and forests to slay demons.
Moreover, the other party seemed to have lived in Lanruo Temple for a while and would not go down the mountain easily.
This is a good time to try to practice "Paper Man Becoming a Spirit". If you have reached the threshold of refining Qi and have a breath of Qi to protect your body, you will save a lot of trouble.
Especially when dealing with Dryad Granny, you can be more confident.
As for the old monster from Black Mountain, Qin Bai didn't want to get in touch with him at all. He was not the funny monster in Westward Journey.
The old Black Mountain demon in A Chinese Ghost Story is an existence that can travel between the Yin and Yang worlds. A demon like Dryad Granny is not even qualified to carry his shoes. If it weren't for being a licking dog, and the plot requires it, there is no possibility of winning. .
Therefore, it is very important to make a quick decision. It would be good if you can explain more about the achievements, and then leave Lanruo Temple as soon as the signing is completed. The further away, the better.
Qin Bai was thinking about countermeasures as he headed towards the restaurant. This was the only restaurant in Guobei County, so there was no mistaking it.
At this time, several half-grown children ran past him.
"I heard from Goudan that someone is making trouble at dad's place..."
"Go quickly. If you go late, you won't be able to see me. Maybe you can still ask for a few glasses of rice wine."
The corners of Qin Bai's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but speed up his steps. For some reason, he immediately thought of Ning Caichen.
Although he gave the other party a long knife to protect himself, he didn't have the courage to turn against him, right?
But when Qin Bai rushed to the restaurant, there were many people gathered at the door. He squeezed through the crowd and looked inside.
I saw Ning Caichen being forced into a corner by several waiters. He was holding a long knife crookedly in his hand. He was trembling under the intimidation, which made the guests laugh.
When he saw Qin Bai, it was like seeing a life-saving straw, and he immediately shouted: "Brother Qin, save me!"
