Qin Feng said, "That’s easy to say. We’re good people. Give us the address and we’ll send it to you."
I thought, "It would be too eye-catching to send to school, so I might as well write down my home address." So I wrote my home number and my cell phone number to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng looked and nodded: "Brother Li, don’t worry. From now on, you are a member of our East Street pawnshop, and whatever it is, I will protect you. But you must remember, you must not miss any day of work, and if there is any delay, not only will you not be able to shoulder this responsibility, I will also be implicated."
Seeing his serious expression, I also nodded. "Don’t worry. Although I’m just a student, I know that a promise is worth a lot of money. We are all men, so we will keep our word."
Qin Feng laughed, "I am relieved. Brother Li’s future is limitless. When you become rich, you must remember to help me."
I thought to myself, "If I can make it, I suppose the end of the world is near?" He immediately smiled bitterly and shook hands with Qin Feng. Then, he said, "Niu Lei and the contract to join the pawnshop on the east side has already been signed. Does this count as the end for us?"
Qin Feng placed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, trying his best to extinguish it as he smiled, "Right, it’s over." As soon as I said that, the lights in the house went out, and a faint light came in through the window. I rushed to the door and opened it.
I excitedly rushed out onto the streets before turning around to look at Qin Feng. "You should take that box to my house. I still have to go back to school." Qin Feng nodded and cupped his hands in farewell.
When I turned my head back, Qin Feng’s face revealed a strange smile. Of course, I didn’t see the expression on his face. This matter was told to me by Jian Wei later on.
Just as we reached the intersection, Jian Wei appeared by my side and asked anxiously, "Why have you been gone for so long? Are you alright? I also wanted to follow you in, but I was stopped by something outside. No matter how much strength I used, it’s useless.
I looked at Jian Wei’s charming face and lamented, "I’ve never felt so blessed to see you again!" On the way to school, Jian Wei kept asking about the details of the pawnshop on the East Street. On the way to school, Jian Wei kept asking about the details of the pawnshop on the East Street.
I asked, "What did the East Street pawnshop look like from the outside while I was inside?" "What do you mean?" It’s just that the door is closed and the business has temporarily stopped. "
Hearing her answer, I was even more sure that I went to an unknown place. This pawnshop was really strange, so strange that it made one’s hair stand on end. However, since I had already signed the contract, I had to bite the bullet and face more and more difficulties.
Seeing that I didn’t say anything, Jian Wei was unhappy. "I’ve asked you so many times, why are you not saying anything?" What exactly did you see inside? Could it be that you were scared silly? "
"Don’t be angry yet. This matter is quite complicated and I don’t have the time to tell you everything. When we return home, I will definitely tell you everything."
Hearing the two words "going home", Jian Wei said happily, "Do you also think that we’re a family now?" I rolled my eyes at her. "Family or not, I want you to leave. Will you?" Jian Wei chuckled. "If you insist on leaving, of course I will leave. However, I am your wife and have the duty to help you. Now that you have so many difficulties, why would I leave you?"
"Sigh ..." I sighed, speechless.
Jian Wei nagged on and on about a lot of boring topics. Previously, when she couldn’t get into the pawnshop, she was walking around in the East Street, but since she’s a ghost now, she couldn’t buy so many good things. It made her very uncomfortable, so she wanted me to help her shop.
I loudly said, "I’m only a student now. The money that my parents send me every month is only enough to cover my living expenses and tuition. How can I have enough money to buy things for you?" Can you understand my situation? "
Jian Wei chuckled. "Don’t be angry. I was just casually saying that if you don’t want to buy it, then don’t."
I angrily returned to school, as class had already ended long ago. I headed straight for Wang Da Chuan’s office. When he saw me, he excitedly asked, "Did you get your hands on the items?"
"You still have the face to ask me, what ransom did you give me for a broken ticket? How can I take away the box without ransom? "
Wang Da Chuan’s face was gloomy. He whispered, "Does that mean we didn’t get the box?" Sigh, I knew that you kid wouldn’t be able. "
"Damn you! You didn’t even give me a single cent! How am I supposed to pay you back?" I’m so pissed off.
Wang Da Chuan laughed, "That ticket was passed down from the Patriarch Li Tian Yi, and every generation is treated as a reward for the disciples. Master said that as long as any disciple has the ability to take out a box from the pawnshop on the east side, the box will belong to the disciple, but there is a bit of it, so the ransom is yours. When this old man received this ticket back then, Master did not give me a ransom. If I gave you this ticket, I would not give you any ransom, and taking the box away would depend on a person’s ability. It seems that your fate is the same as every other generation of disciples in our sect. Since that’s the case, return the pawned tickets to me. "
I spread out my hands and said, "The pawn ticket has already been handed to the pawnshop’s owner. It’s gone now." Wang Da Chuan said angrily, "If he didn’t bring out the box, what did you give him the ticket for?" I laughed. "I was just asking for a ransom, but I didn’t say that the chest wasn’t redeemed."
Wang Da Chuan was so angry that he became happy. His breathing became rapid as he asked with his eyes wide open, "You mean, you got the box?"
"Mm. I did get it, but I paid quite a price." I nodded.
"It’s worth it, everything is worth it. As long as we can get the box, it’s normal to pay a little price." Wang Da Chuan said with a smile.
I couldn’t stand the old man’s shamelessness. "You were expecting something to happen, weren’t you? Yet you intentionally pushed me into the fire pit! "
Wang Dachuan said, "This is a real experiential learning, you know, not just anyone can go to the pawnshop on the east side, and not even I have been there before. If you get the box, you will be lucky, but I’m interested to know the price you have to pay."
"I used that bottle of cow’s tears for ransom." Wang Dachuan was pleasantly surprised. "A bottle of tears from an ox for that box? That’s a good deal!"
"I’m not done yet. After that, I signed a contract with the owner, Qin Feng, and went to work at his place one day a week for three years to repay the ransom."
Wang Da Chuan’s face darkened. "Didn’t I tell you not to stay in the pawnshop on East Street? How could you not listen?"
I nearly jumped out of my skin from anger, "It was you who didn’t give me a single cent in ransom. Now that I’ve settled the matter and you’re spouting so much nonsense, of course I know the pawnshop has problems, but if I don’t sign the contract, I’ll never come back! Where were you then? "
Wang Da Chuan said with a smile, "Well, it’s all my fault, but I’m still poor. How can I give you any ransom? "Right, where is the box?"
I said unhappily, "I sent them to my home. It’s too eye-catching to bring such a big box to the school."
