On Saturday, after breakfast, Lin Yan waited in a community garden near the hospital at the time and place agreed in advance.

Finally, it no longer rains, and people's mood becomes better like the rising sun. [bsp; "Wow, you have grown taller again?" Zhong Qing, who witnessed Lin Yan's soaring height, sighed as soon as he appeared.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you for half an hour!"

"It's natural for boys to wait for girls!" Zhong Qing unwillingly gestured at the height gap between herself and Lin Yan.

Lin Yan opened her little hand that moved over and said, "I only heard that it is natural for a boyfriend to wait for his girlfriend. What is our relationship? Have you thought clearly about it?"

"Bah, take advantage of me? Fuck you!" Zhong Qing punched Lin Yan.

Seeing that she seemed to be carrying something in her arms, Lin Yan asked, "Now you can tell me, where are you going? Do you still want me to be the flower protector? What are you hiding in your arms?"

"Shh!" Zhong Qing looked around like a thief, then whispered into Lin Yan's ear: "I have a treasure hidden here, stolen from home."

"Ah? What kind of treasure do you want to steal from home?" Lin Yan was sniffing the fragrance from Zhong Qing's mouth, but was shocked when he heard this.

"I'll show you when we get to a place where no one is around. Talk as we walk." Zhong Qing grabbed Lin Yan's sleeve and ran away.

After arriving at an inaccessible alley, Zhong Qing unzipped her coat and took out a small square wooden box from her arms.

Opening the small wooden box, Lin Yan discovered that the box contained a mini bronze Buddha. It was golden in color, only half the size of a fist, lifelike, and had a solemn atmosphere.

Zhong Qing said: "This is an heirloom of my family. My father never let me touch it."

"Then you still stole it, and you weren't afraid of being discovered and having your legs broken?" Lin Yan said with a smile.

"Tch, I am my little princess, who would give it up? I took it out today. A friend of mine introduced me to a master treasure appraiser. I want to show it to him to see if it is real."

"Master treasure appraiser? You can't be a liar, right?" Lin Yan frowned and asked, "Which friend did you contact? Why didn't your friend come today?"

"He has something to do today and can't come. That's why I called you! Even if he is a liar, with the two of us here, are you still afraid of him?" Zhong Qing said with a smile.

"You think so highly of me?" Lin Yan said with a smile.

"There's nothing I can do. Among the friends I know, you look the most fierce, so I can only call you." Zhong Qing said helplessly.

"Do I look fierce?" Lin Yan touched his face.

Zhong Qing nodded and said: "Really, no joke, we all think you look very fierce. Although your body is not strong, you always give people a, how should I say? You give people a strong feeling. At first glance,

You, I think you are not the kind to be bullied."

"Really?" Lin Yan laughed, looking very happy.

Most men like to be praised for their strong temperament, just as much as a woman is praised for her beauty.

"Stop being so pretty, let's go. This is a hand-drawn map by my friend. Let's walk there and go shopping by the way." Zhong Qing said with a smile.

"Ah, you still want to go shopping?" Lin Yan was depressed for a while, and then said: "Come on, show me this treasure!"

"No, let the master look at it first before showing it to you." Zhong Qing shook her head.

"Is there any difference?" Lin Yan blinked.

"Looking at how stingy you are, I'll keep it for you temporarily! Don't look at it yet!" Zhong Qing closed the box and handed it to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan took it, didn't open it, put it in his pocket, and said, "You trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I will run away with the treasure?"

"It's just an antique. Even if it's real, it's only worth less than 100,000 yuan. Can you commit this crime? Besides, you have a criminal record. My dad still doubts you until now. How dare you rob me?"

Zhong Qing smiled.

"Your dad still doubts me?" Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat and he asked casually.

"Yes, he often said that you are suspicious and he needs to investigate you!" Seeing Lin Yan's worried face, Zhong Qing smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as you have a clear conscience, my dad will be the reincarnation of Bao Qingtian.

, can’t convict you.”

The two of them were chatting and shopping along the street at a very slow pace. More than an hour later, Lin Yan suddenly grabbed Zhong Qing and said, "This place is so remote, Master, will you live here?"

"I heard that he is a folk master, so it's not surprising that he is a bit shabby." Zhong Qing was also a little worried. She looked around and subconsciously held Lin Yan's arm.

"Don't worry. Once you come, you'll be in peace and let's go." Lin Yan relied on his own strength and was not afraid at all.

At this moment, the two of them were walking in an area of ​​old houses. The houses were very low and the aisles were very narrow, allowing only bicycles and walkers to pass.

Lin Yan looked around and saw ancient buildings with green tiles turned to black tiles. Every corner was dark and dirty, with garbage and silt everywhere. He thought to himself: "This city is also bright on the surface, but this place can't compare to our countryside.

"

"It stinks so much!" Zhong Qing almost fainted from the smell as she passed by a smelly ditch.

Lin Yan didn't care, but he quickened his pace to take care of the girls.

Finally, after walking around for a while, Zhong Qing pointed to a rusty door and the house number next to it and said, "This should be it." Seeing that the door was closed, she added, "Knock on the door."

"Why should I knock?"

"Oh, I'm scared!"

Lin Yan smiled and knocked hard on the door.

"Coming, coming!" An impatient voice came from inside, and then the door was opened.

Lin Yan was delighted when he saw the man inside. He was wearing a Taoist uniform and his hair was tied up in a bun. He was obviously the kind of fortune teller.

This man was short and thin, not too ugly, but he had the air of a waning man, so it was unclear how old he was.

Call him young. He has many wrinkles on his face, bags under his eyes are dark and swollen, and his skin is extremely rough. Call him young. His hair is very black and does not look like it was dyed, and his eyes are not cloudy or round.

Soon, you can tell at a glance that he is the kind of person who has quick reactions and a flexible mind.

"Are you—eh? Little brother, I see that you have a plump heaven, a broad forehead, and clear bones. You are guarded by a heavy yang energy all over your body. You are indeed a noble person!"

Lin Yan and Zhong Qing looked at each other and smiled, and Lin Yan said: "Really?"

"Of course, I've never missed anyone since I debuted. Your face is really extraordinary. But -"

"But what?" Zhong Qing interrupted.

"You two, please come in first." The man turned sideways and said, "My surname is Wang, and my name is Wang Xianzhi. You can call me Immortal Taoist. Please take a seat."

"Say it quickly, say it quickly, but what?" Zhong Qing asked.

"However, I noticed that there is an evil spirit hidden between his eyebrows, and the Yang energy in his body is not pure. I am afraid that there is a bad omen surrounding him!"

"Oh?" Lin Yan's eyes flashed and he said, "What's the bad omen?"

"Well—" Wang Xianzhi smiled and remained silent.

Lin Yan saw this and smiled: "Stop fooling me, if you can guess what we are here for, I will believe you."

"Is this true?"

"really."

"You...are you here to look at antiques from me?" Wang Xianzhi looked at the two of them and glanced at Lin Yan's bulging pockets.

"You guessed it right!" Zhong Qing clapped her hands and smiled.

Lin Yan rolled his eyes and asked, "Okay, what bad omen did you say? You're right. I'll give you money."

"Money is something external to the body, and I don't value it." Wang Xianzhi waved his hands in a fairy-like manner.

"Then what do you want?"

"It's just enough to make ends meet. I won't accept more than that." Wang Xianzhi said with a smile.

"Damn, it's not up to you to decide whether it's too much or not." Lin Yan cursed secretly and said, "I won't talk to you anymore, help us see if this thing is real." After that, he took out the box from his pocket.

, handed it to him.

When Wang Xianzhi opened the box and took a look, his eyes lit up. He carefully took out the Buddha statue inside and played with it carefully. Then he sighed and said with great disappointment: "The bronze and gold-plated Sakyamuni Buddha! From this sitting posture

, handprints and other aspects, it looks a bit like the style of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.”

"Then it's true." Zhong Qing said happily.

"It's true, but what a pity!" Wang Xianzhi continued to be disappointed.

"What's the pity?"

"It's a pity that this Buddha statue lacks a base, and most of the gilded parts have faded. Plus, it's small, so it's not worth much."
