C46 Unreasonable

When Lin Jiang and I rushed to the antiques market, we didn't see that the place where Lin Jiang sold daggers was open. The entire antiques market was also extremely quiet.

"Are you looking for Jin Xia? "Then you've come all this way for nothing. He only gets out on Sunday." Lin Jiang and I stood at the entrance of the shop for a while, when suddenly, we heard someone call out to us from behind.

The elder brother who spoke was in his thirties, and he didn't even buy a shop in the market. He set up a stall on the ground, and even though the stalls seemed to be filled with ancient swords and sabers, I knew in my heart that these must all be fakes.

If it was real, why would he set up a stall here? He would be able to live his entire life without worries if he sold one of them, but I don't really understand any of this.

"Then Master, do you know where he lives?" I hastily asked. Even though he was just a fake, he had information related to my life.

Hearing that, the man laughed slyly, like a fox, he raised two fingers and placed them next to his mouth, obviously wanting to smoke. Unfortunately, Lin Jiang and I don't smoke, and we really couldn't take out a cigarette in such a short time.

"Master, why don't you buy a pack of cigarettes? By the way, where does Jin Xia's family live?" Lin Jiang saw that I was in a difficult situation, and immediately took out a fifty dollar bill from his pocket, and upon seeing the money, he smiled, and pointed to the neighboring area.

"Number seventeen. The number is 609." I thought to myself, Lin Jiang's 50 yuan really isn't worth it, just by drawing the number, it would cost me 50 yuan, not to mention the fact that Jin Xia's shop has his own cell phone number taped to the door.

Walking out of the antiques market, I couldn't help but to ask Lin Jiang curiously. What kind of background does this Jin Xia have?

However, the reality was that Jin Xia was not worth it. It was the people who came to sell antiques, and every time they brought something of value over, Jin Xia would make it sound as if it wasn't worth it at all.

Some people heard Jin Xia's words and felt that their family's ancestral treasure was not worth much, hence they sold it cheaply. The old geezers all said that those who sold items to Jin Xia were all blind.

As Jin Xia shouted, some of the less knowledgeable noobs felt that Jin Xia was a buyer that was easy to deceive, so not only did he have a lot of business, but his business became bigger and bigger because of the people who relied on him to make money.

When I heard this title, I also felt that he was an easy to bully buyer. After all, looking at antiques required a pair of sharp eyes.

"Then why did you sell it to him?" After I heard this, I looked towards Lin Jiang with a little confusion. Since he knows that he's an old schemer in this business, why did Lin Jiang still sell him some things?

But Lin Jiang's answer made me even more surprised, yesterday when Lin Jiang came to sell the dagger, every shop asked him before, and they all said that it was not more than 500 dollars, only Jin Xia was willing to pay 2000 dollars.

Although Lin Jiang asked him why this was happening, Jin Xia was still unwilling to tell him. He only asked him if he was willing to sell it, and comparing the two hundred and two thousand, Lin Jiang would of course choose the most expensive one, if not for the dagger causing a ghost, he would probably have forgotten about it.

The two of us tried to guess Jin Xia's intentions, but after trying for a long time, we couldn't think of anything. In my opinion, besides the exquisite workmanship of the dagger, it didn't have the slightest sense of vicissitudes of life, it didn't seem like an antique at all.

As he thought about it, he quickly reached Jin Xia's building. This was a residential area that had been built a long time ago, without even a property, so of course the reason was simple.

Such an old residential area was open everywhere, and with the security guards watching over it, just the compensation for the theft was enough for the real estate company to lose everything.

Lin Jiang knocked on the door, hearing no activity from inside, he knocked hard again, this door was not the usual anti-theft door, the entire building still retained the decorations from the last century.

"Who is it? Knock down my Nanmu door! Let's see how you will compensate! " The more Lin Jiang knocked, the louder the sound became, and then, an impatient voice finally came from inside the door.

After a few seconds, the door finally opened. A tall and thin old man was standing at the entrance. He wore a pair of underpants and held a fan in his hand. He looked like a very ordinary old man.

"Master Jin, do you remember me?" Lin Jiang went straight to the point. Hearing that, Jin Xia looked at him for a while, then nodded.

"What's wrong? Did you find that dagger again? The more there is, the better it is. " Jin Xia suddenly laughed, and looked at Lin Jiang as if he was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"No, it's just that, I have a problem with the dagger yesterday, whether it can be returned to me or not." Lin Jiang said a little embarrassedly, and I also started to get nervous. This dagger is related to my life, so of course I wouldn't want any problems to occur.

"Sure, you can pay 20,000 yuan for this dagger." The first half of Jin Xia's sentence made me unconsciously heave a sigh of relief, but the second half of his sentence nearly caused me to lose my breath.

Twenty thousand dollars? Lin Jiang and I wouldn't be able to get that much without eating or drinking for a month. He was clearly asking for it.

"No, sir. Isn't twenty thousand yuan too much?" Isn't this dagger worthless? " I started to reason with Jin Xia, hoping that he would agree to it this time.

"Let me tell you, although this dagger is lacking in terms of age and craftsmanship, it can ward off evil spirits."

When I heard his words, I almost burst out laughing. Was this dagger even able to ward off evil? He probably didn't know about this dagger's ability to attract ghosts, right? I reckon that after Lin Jiang and I die, the Armored ghost would come look for him, at that time, I would see if he dares to say that the dagger is Evil Repellent.

"Uncle, I'm not trying to scare you. You'll be in trouble if you keep this dagger." I said very seriously, but Jin Xia still had a face full of disapproval.

"Brat, you really don't need to scare me. I can see black Qi on your forehead. I'm afraid you know that this blade can ward off evil, which is why you want it back? "

Jin Xia's words, however, stunned me. Although Uncle Liu said that I could not talk about ghosts with ordinary people, to those who were well-informed, this could not be considered as a secret.

Since he could see that I was possessed by a ghost, he must have known that this dagger could ward off evil spirits. This was probably the reason why he spent 2,000 yuan to buy it.

"It's not that I don't want to save him, it's just that some things happen and it's my life. Either you guys give me 20,000 yuan, or you guys can leave." Seeing that Lin Jiang and I did not speak, Jin Xia spoke again, this time to send them off.
