Chapter 35 Daddy's Antique Shop

The buildings on both sides of the street are different from before. They are obviously much lower here, and the road is relatively deserted. The only thing on it is a black street lamp. There are two protruding racks next to the bulbs of this street lamp, like candlesticks.

It is the only decoration on the remote road.

Passing these light yellow buildings, Kaxiu walked along the sidewalk covered with checkered tiles to the right side of the intersection.

At the end of the road, you can even see the black mountain wall and grass and trees behind. It is quite remote. No one would have thought that a small antique shop would open here.

Above the shop, there is a rectangular metal nameplate.

"Dad's Antique Shop."

Well, this name is weird enough. Even if ordinary people choose this kind of shop name, they will add a name in front. For example, Charlie's Dad Antique Shop, but this antique shop seems to be so willful.

Kaxiu came here once the day before yesterday. The owner is a skinny old man wearing round-framed glasses and has a very weird temper.

Despite this, he actually likes to stay here.

There are few people, which is attractive to Kaxiu.

He pressed his bulging left chest. He was a little confident in sweeping antique shops in the city this time, provided that there were obsession antiques or legendary antiques. Otherwise, even if he had a mountain of gold and silver in his hand, he could not buy the obsession energy that Kaxiu wanted.

After standing for a while, he pushed the door open.

"Welcome to Daddy's Antique Shop..."

An old voice sounded behind the red counter at the entrance, and the old man in a white shirt and yellow vest raised his head slightly.

"Hello, Daddy." Kaxiu waved.

He was not a person who was familiar with others. On the contrary, his temperament was quite cold. But for this old man, Kaxiu didn't know why he always felt close to him. Maybe it was because their temperaments were naturally compatible? Anyway, he was most comfortable in this antique shop.

Last time, he kept flipping from dusk to night, and Daddy treated him to edamame sandwiches, a kind of weird food.

But you have to say, it tasted good.

"Levi, have you had lunch?" Daddy slowly put down the things in his hands, walked around the counter, and picked up a plate.

"Not yet, I plan to eat at Ninton Street." Kaxiu had been sorting herbs and making ointments, and he didn't have time to eat.

"Then let's have a edamame sandwich to fill our stomach..."

The old man handed the plate forward, and there was a sandwich inside. Kaxiu didn't pretend to be hypocritical, and immediately took it up and ate it.

"Thank you, Dad."

"Hahaha." Dad smiled happily, his little eyes narrowed, his white eyebrows trembled, and he was inexplicably kind.

"Dad, you gave the guests a strange edamame sandwich again." A quirky voice came from the door.

The little girl in a children's T-shirt held a large ice cream cone, looking at Dad for a while and Kaxiu for a while.

"What do you mean by strange? Edamame sandwich is obviously the most delicious sandwich in the world!" Dad was a little angry: There is one more thing~ Xiaoyu, did you skip class and go home?"

"Dad, you are confused again. Today is the Holy Bath Festival, and the school is closed. "The little girl shouted a few words, as if she was afraid that her father, who was a little hard of hearing, couldn't hear her. She walked all the way upstairs.

"Oh, you dare to teach Dad a lesson."

The old man waved the empty plate in his hand.

"By the way, Dad, when will Uncle Yun come back?"

The little girl on the stairs shook her hair on top of her head.

"At least a month, he is on the ship coming back from the United States of Ana." The old man put down the plate and said, "By the way, don't interrupt, you haven't replied to what Dad just said. "

Kaxiu, who was standing next to him, smiled as he watched this scene. Both the little girl and the old man were very cute, of course, this refers to their personalities.

In fact, he knew from the last time he came here that Daddy and Xiaoyu were not from the Hongli Federation, but from the Xinglan Empire of Xinglanyanzhou. Their family also has an uncle Yun who does business abroad.

The business seems to be related to antiques. Every once in a while, a small batch of antiques will be shipped from outside to Baichuan City. Although these antiques are strange and not very valuable.

Looking at the old man who went upstairs angrily, Kaxiu shook his head helplessly. Maybe they get along well because of this child's temper.

It is said that the older a person gets, the more he behaves like a child. A pure heart?

He turned his head and walked towards the shelves of the antique shop.

This old man's antique shop seems small from the outside, but the space inside is quite large. There are more than a dozen pale yellow shelves in the middle of the store. It is not a professional It should be handmade.

You can see the wood grain on the edge and the rivets of the nails.

There are some strange little things on the shelves.

Music boxes, old pocket watches, thick books, parchment...

And the three sides of the wall surrounding the shelves are low counters covered with yellow cloth, on which large antiques are placed.

For example, busts, broken iron swords, old oil paintings laid out flat, and ceramic pots that look like teapots and chamber pots. In short, there are strange things, and there are no big antique shops that are classified and specialized.

But complex types and small objects seem to be better.

Kaxiu followed the old practice of the past, from left to right, from the beginning to the end of the house. Searching all the way, checking all the way.

Although he has a golden tongue that can search for bitterness, no one can tell for sure. When Kaxiu first approached his senior brother wearing the wind ivory pendant, there was no bitter taste in his mouth.

The most accurate way is to touch it with your hands. If there is obsession energy, your arms will feel numb and bitter. Of course, if some obsession antiques are hidden too deep, and you must have a wound on your arm to sense it, then Kaxiu can only admit it. After all, he can't use his bloody thumb to press everywhere. Not to mention whether it will be blasted out, the rust and bacteria alone are enough.

He walked all the way, from the shelf close to the road to the shelf on the other side. Kaxiu didn't find anything unexpected.

Putting down the goblet in his hand, he picked up a copper coin next to him. The surface is rough and old. Although it has a metallic texture, it is not strong, and the degree of oxidation is not light. Kaxiu rubbed it gently with his thumb, and the whole person raised his eyebrows in an instant.

"Familiar bitterness... Are these two days my lucky days?"

The corners of his mouth involuntarily raised an arc.

It's confirmed that the coin in his hand is an obsession antique. Kaxiu glanced around and rubbed it hard with his hands.

The bitterness gradually became stronger, as if there was a layer of something on the surface of the coin that wrapped the obsession energy, and it must be touched at close range.

He decisively bit a hole on his fingertips and pressed gently.

A stream of cold air entered from outside his skin.

The number on the upper right corner jumped twice in a row.

"Obsession energy: 1.9→2.0→2.1"

It was a little less, but Kaxiu didn't mind it. It was a good thing to have it.

He glanced at the shelf and found seven or eight similar coins. On the reverse side was a crown with a crooked cross on top, and on the front side was a large number fifty on the coin.

Kaxiu picked up the coins and repeated the same trick.

He found another one that contained obsession energy.

"Obsession energy: 2.1→2.3"

He pinched the coin in his palm and shouted to the counter.

"Dad, how much are these coins?"

I borrowed the character setting of Jackie Chan's Adventures. I really like the cute dad and the quirky Xiaoyu, and of course the always unlucky Uncle Long. (^^*)
