15, coarse porcelain bowl
Two days have passed, and it is the 13th.
Su Wu has been busy these two days, and only has time to simulate a few times at night.
In the simulated future, he tried to use only the Emperor Bell to escape the pursuit of the Shadow Ghost, and finally succeeded, and mastered this method.
In each simulation after that, he started from the small temple save and explored outside.
But every time he could not go far, he would be separated from his head and body under the light of the red lantern and die.
In fact, as long as you are in the sphere of influence of the Lantern Ghost, when the red lantern appears, even if you are not illuminated by the red light, you are very likely to be killed.
The owner of the grocery store hid in a lightless hut and could not escape the fate of being separated from his head and body;
Su Wu hid in a basement for half an hour, but could not avoid being killed.
This is the terrible thing about random killings.
There is no pattern at all.
Just like rolling dice, people never know what points they will get next time, whether they will live or die?
If you can't grasp the pattern, you can't make an effective response.
Fortunately, Su Wu can stay in the small temple.
He speculated that the main reason for his survival in the temple was the flame burning on the lamp stand in the temple.
The next time he enters the simulation, Su Wu plans to use candles to continue the flame in the temple. He will try to walk in the Lantern Ghost's territory with candles. Can he avoid being killed?
Before that, he must prepare as much as possible in reality to deal with the weird revival in two days.
Su Wu has been busy these two days just to deal with the future crisis.
Until today, he has free time and wants to come to the most famous antique market in Mingzhou City.
With his talent of being possessed by blue koi, he wants to see if he can find one or two mysterious items.
Mysterious items do not necessarily have the function of restraining weirdness.
However, some items are relics of their original owners. By buying such things, Su Wu can take the opportunity to explore the original owner's past life.
He lingered in the surrounding stalls.
From time to time, he picked up things on the stalls and asked what era the items were and how much they cost.
The replies he got were either that the items were from the ‘Warring States and Han’ period or the ‘Han and Tang’ period, and those from the Ming and Qing dynasties were very rare.
The stall owners’ quotations ranged from 300 to 320,000.
After wandering around, Su Wu finally squatted down in front of a stall.
On the stall were several poorly made snuff bottles, a row of copper-nickel alloy silver ingots, two tokens with the words ‘Jinyiwei’ written on them, and other items.
Su Wu first picked up the Jinyiwei token placed next to a coarse porcelain bowl, played with it for a while, and a layer of rust ash stained his hands. He rubbed his hands and asked the stall owner: “How much is this token?”
“Five thousand!” The stall owners here always dare to quote.
He rubbed the token in his hand, and more rust ash stained his palm.
Su Wu threw the token down: “Is this five thousand?”
Then, he picked up a few more things on the stall, asked the stall owner the price one by one, and finally picked up the coarse porcelain bowl at hand.
The porcelain bowl was poorly made, with a pattern painted on it that looked like a fish.
The color of the pattern was blurred and exceeded the boundaries of the lines.
This kind of porcelain bowl is just a dog bowl for dogs, and dogs may not be happy to use it.
"How much is the bowl?" Su Wu asked the stall owner holding the bowl.
The stall owner sat on a stool, glanced at the rough porcelain bowl in Su Wu's hand, and said calmly: "I'll give you five hundred for this, it's a modern thing..."
"Five hundred for this?" Su Wu shook his head, put down the bowl, and stood up to leave.
"Then how much do you say? You have to give a price, right?" The stall owner stopped him and asked.
Su Wu turned around and stretched out a hand to him, with his five fingers spread out.
"Fifty? This..." The stall owner's eyes flashed, and he didn't finish his words.
Then Su Wu interrupted, "Five dollars!"
"No, no, five dollars is too little, I can't sell it, I can't sell it."
"Hey, how about you add five dollars? Add five dollars and you can take this bowl away, it's really an old item!"
"If I didn't think this bowl was unique, I wouldn't buy it. I'll add eight dollars at most. Will you sell it?"
"Sell!"
Su Wu spent eight dollars and bought a coarse porcelain bowl.
When he walked past this stall before, he felt that this porcelain bowl attracted him inexplicably, but he suppressed the urge to buy it on the spot.
Even if he returned to this stall later, he would first find a few things to ask the price to cover up his true intention.
If he picked up the bowl and said he wanted to buy it, then the bowl in the stall owner's mouth might not be a modern item.
If it weren't for the fact that porcelain from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties was rare and primitive, the other party might have said that this bowl was something from that time!
After packing the porcelain bowl, Su Wu left the antique market.
He got off the taxi at the street in front of Ping'an Garden and walked along the street. He had memorized the locations of most supermarkets and food stores on both sides of the street.
The cake shop called "Palace Pastry" was not open today.
There was no shadow of a small temple next to this cake shop.
But in the future, there will indeed be a temple next to the cake shop.
Su Wu had rented a small utility room behind the cake shop in advance and placed a batch of compressed biscuits, instant noodles, ham sausage, drinking water and other supplies in it.
At that time, he could quickly transfer the supplies from the utility room to the small temple to reduce the risk of being exposed and killed by the lantern ghost.
Su Wu walked around the corner of the street and walked along the fork road to Ping'an Garden.
At this time, his mobile phone in his trouser pocket vibrated several times.
Take out your phone, and it shows a deposit message: Your account with the last number 6239 completed a transfer transaction of 56 at 9:43 on April 13, and the balance is 86.
When his parents passed away, they left two houses to Su Wu.
One house is in the capital of Pingyuan County, his hometown, which is prepared for his future development in the capital. Su Wu's family rarely lives there.
The weirdness is about to revive. After Su Wu escapes from Mingzhou City, he will return to his house in his hometown. It is impossible to run between the capital and his hometown.
At that time, it is unknown what the real estate market will be like. If a weird incident occurs, it is inevitable that it will plummet.
So Su Wu chose to sell the house in the provincial capital in advance.
Now the real estate is not easy to sell, and he sold it after suppressing the price.
The money finally arrived, and Su Wu was relieved.
He has spent most of his savings in the past few days, most of which was used to buy gold, and a small part was used to buy food. He asked his childhood friend in his hometown to store food at home, and the gold was kept in the rented house.
After all, tens of thousands of dollars can't buy much gold.
This gold may be hard currency in the future.
Now that the money has arrived, Su Wu will continue to buy a batch of physical gold and store it. In the foreseeable future, with the revival of weirdness, various antiques and cultural relics may also be accompanied by weirdness.
Collectors may compete to sell them at that time.
At that time, even if the currency depreciates, gold should still be strong.
He can use this batch of gold to buy antiques that were not available before!
Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times!
