Chapter 83 The strange man in the city

Early the next morning, Qin Fei drove to the antique street alone without telling anyone.

It’s not that I really want to recognize the old man as my teacher, but I have something very important to ask and it was inconvenient because there were so many people yesterday.

When I entered the store, it was empty, but the scene was completely different from yesterday.

Although it was broad daylight, the store was very dark and gloomy. The most exaggerating thing was that in this day and age, there were still oil lamps burning.

"anyone there?"

Qin Fei called cautiously, but no one answered. He called again, but there was still no one.

.Strange, this bad old man’s shop is wide open, but no one is there.

Qin Fei walked to the counter involuntarily, and the simple but shining things on the shelves caught his eye.

If you look closely, you will see that the bronze tripod and wine bottles on the top floor, as well as the three-color blue and white porcelain from the Tang Dynasty and the jade bottles on the lower floor are all genuine.

This old man is so arrogant. The average antique shop owner can put one or two pieces on the front display cabinet, which is really enough.

And he had to specifically pick out the worthless ones, just look at the boss who sold him the paintings and armor yesterday.

Precious things are hidden in boxes and hidden at the back, and you have to be careful when taking them out.

This old man was better, he just placed the large thorns outside. The door of the shop was wide open, but no one was there.

Aren't you afraid that someone might come in and steal his things?

Qin Fei was lost in thought when a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"It came very quickly. According to my estimation, it would take at least two days to arrive."

The old man was smoking a hookah, his hair still messy.

But today he rarely changed into a formal Chinese tunic suit. Seeing Qin Fei frowning at him, he asked with a smile.

"What, you figured it out and came to apprentice today?"

"You're overthinking. I'm just here to ask you how you know your inner energy and whether you know the old madman."

Qin Fei's expression was serious and he did not miss any expression on the ancient head and face.

What the old madman taught him was never simple martial arts. It can be seen from the fact that he was able to gain a foothold on Dragon Prison Island in three years.

But the old madman never told him his identity. If the old man could point out his martial arts background, he might know the old madman.

"Who is the old madman, the master who taught you martial arts?"

The old man's rhetorical question made Qin Fei narrow his eyes, and he turned around and left without hesitation.

If this bad old man doesn't know the old madman, there's no point in him staying here.

"My little friend, don't leave in a hurry."

Mr. Gu's thin hand lightly pressed on Qin Fei's shoulder. Qin Fei's expression moved slightly, with a dangerous light shining in his eyes.

What's going on? He can't move?

"open!"

Qin Fei exerted force from his waist, lowered his shoulders, and twisted his body to burst out with a powerful force.

He immediately planned to break free from Gutou's arm, but Gutou's hand remained motionless on his shoulder, and he even said with a smile.

"My little friend, it would be rude to leave without listening to someone else's words."

"If you don't know the old madman, then I have nothing to talk to you about."

Qin Fei snorted coldly and wanted to leave. The old madman treated him like a teacher and a father. He clearly had hands and eyes, and even had the ability to send him to Dragon Prison Island.

But he has been locked up in prison. If given the chance, he would like to know everything about the old madman.

"Don't worry. Although I don't know any old madman, I know exactly where your martial arts came from."

"I think, knowing the origin of this martial arts, there will definitely be no harm in checking what you want to know."

These words successfully persuaded Qin Fei, who stopped and turned to look at Gutou.

"You'd better not lie to me, otherwise..."

"Don't worry, I don't want anything from you, old man. Come with me. There is no place to sit in the front hall. I will take you to the backyard."

The front hall is for entertaining ordinary guests. When distinguished guests arrive, they are naturally invited to the backyard.

Qin Fei followed Gutou cautiously, not far away, and the two of them entered the backyard through a side door.

Seeing the scene in the backyard, even though Qin Fei was well-informed, he couldn't help but feel slightly frightened.

No wonder the old man had those valuable antiques randomly placed on the counter in front of him.

Compared with the things in the backyard, the ones in front are really rubbish.

If he saw the antique courtyard house correctly, the fences, pillars and beams were all made of huanghuali and sandalwood.

There is a small artificial lake in the middle and a white marble painted platform.

The rockeries on the lake surface are stacked on top of each other, just like a small Suzhou garden, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

There was a cave under the rockery, and there were actually two mandarin ducks lying there. The lake was crystal clear, and about 10 arowanas were swimming happily.

Lotus leaves are fluttering on the lake, and the white lotus is unique in the world. If you look closely, it turns out to be a water lily.

"Old man, isn't it illegal for you to keep these things?"

Qin Fei couldn't help but say, forget about water lilies and mandarin ducks, the arowana is a rare first-level protected animal.

To raise this thing, you need a license, and just having a license is not enough, you also need to be able to raise it.

Even if you raise them to death, you still have to pay for them. This old man is not afraid of being discovered if he raises a large group of them.

When the old man heard this, he chuckled and said, "My little friend, it's just a little hobby. Just pretend you didn't see it."

Qin Fei's mouth twitched when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. The old man was free to do whatever he wanted, and he didn't like to meddle in other people's business.

I also saw that the garden was full of exotic flowers and plants, most of which were rare species.

The peonies in season, the orchids that have not bloomed, and the entire yard cost no less than four to five billion.

Where does this old man come from?

Qin Fei followed him and suddenly noticed that there were piles of small white flowers in the corner that were very familiar to Qin Fei.

He stepped forward and stopped the old man's head, pointing to the cluster of flowers as if unintentionally and saying.

"It's strange for you, old man, that there are so many rare plants in the yard, but you have carefully taken care of a few clusters of wild flowers on the roadside."

That flower was obviously treated much better than the other flowers in the yard. The weeds were removed and carefully fenced around it.

Gutou looked in the direction he pointed, couldn't help but chuckle and explained.

"My little friend has misunderstood. This is not a wild flower. The name of this flower is Bai Ling, although it looks ordinary."

But in terms of its rarity, I am afraid that all the flowers in the garden are not as rare as it."

"Oh, if it's so rare as you said, isn't it possible that you are the only one who has it?"

Qin Fei continued to talk calmly, and Gutou continued to explain quite contentedly.

"That's true. Even though it's growing well in the garden now, I wasted a lot of energy when I transplanted it."

"I really don't believe it if you say that this flower exists in other places now that the city is closed."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Fei's eyes flashed. According to what the old man said, he was the one most likely to worship his father.

But, why...
