Early in the morning, although there was no endless stream of people on the street, many shops along the street had already opened their doors. They were busy cleaning and restocking, preparing to welcome the first batch of customers that day and make a good start.
Unlike the quietness of the main street, the alley was already bustling with activity. The hawkers squatted at their stalls and shouted loudly. The aunties who had woken up early to buy vegetables went out one after another to take care of the family affairs for the day.
Lin Yilan, who was curious about everything in ancient times, quickly found a pawnshop. She wasn't so interested that she was willing to carry a chair around.
"Boss! Boss! I want to pawn it! As soon as they entered the shop, Lin Yilan put down the chair on her back and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She also helped Xiao Mo move the heavy things off her body. Xiao Mo was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor…She almost thought that her master was going to hit her again!
This pawnshop wasn't big. It was just an inconspicuous shop on the main street. It was plain outside, but when one entered, one would see that it was dressed in ancient clothes. Wooden tables and chairs were quietly placed in a corner of the room for guests to wait for. There were no exaggerated carvings on the roof beams and pillars, and the room was filled with a faint fragrance of wood. However, Lin Yilan liked it very much. It was simple and elegant, and it had a calming charm. It didn't look like a pawnshop that had been stinking with money.
Seeing the first customer in the morning, the pawnshop owner naturally welcomed them with 120% enthusiasm. He walked up to Lin Yilan and said," What does Young Lady want to be?"
She looked at the owner who had a beer belly but was unusually kind and honest, not giving off the feeling of a profiteer. She then looked around the quaint shop. If she had not seen the word " Dang " outside, she would never have thought that this was a pawnshop! "Is this a pawnshop?" Lin Yilan asked suspiciously.”
"Of course!" The boss smiled warmly and nodded vigorously." Miss is the first customer of the store. This shop was originally a small bookshop, but business gradually improved, and I like to appreciate and collect antiques, so I changed to a pawnshop.”It was a blessing to welcome their first customer as soon as they opened the door!
So it was a bookstore. No wonder it gave people such a clear feeling. However, Lin Yilan didn't mean that. She only listened to a part of her own thoughts. This was the boss 'first time opening a pawnshop and he didn't have much experience. This meant that the value of her chair could still rise! This was an extraordinary period, so he had to use extraordinary methods.
At the thought of this, Lin Yilan immediately smiled like a flower and patted the back of her chair." I want to be it!”
The boss, who had been smiling very kindly, suddenly twitched. He looked at the object in front of him that looked like it was used to sit and said uncertainly,"A wooden chair?" Although this was the first time he had devoted himself to such a career, he had never heard of anyone being a chair!
"Boss, don't underestimate it. It's not an ordinary chair!”Lin Yilan lowered her voice mysteriously.
"Not an ordinary chair?" Although the " wooden chair " was indeed a high-quality wood, it was not considered a treasure. It was common for nobles and nobles, and some rich merchants could also buy it. What more a chair? It did not have any special value at all, so how could it be strange?
"Of course! This was the ancestor of chairs! No…it should be the ancestors of humans!”Lin Yilan's eyes were filled with respect as she looked at the chair.
"Huh?" The honest boss was stunned. Could it be made up?
Lin Yilan cleared her throat when she saw the distrust on her boss's face. She adjusted her chair and sat down comfortably, planning to fight for a long time.
The so-called film and television masterpiece must have been set in an earth-shattering period, so Lin Yilan traced it back to the ancient times.
"A long, long time ago, there was a person called Pangu. He used a huge axe to split the heavens and earth apart. He couldn't possibly keep standing during this long and difficult process. But he was too fat. Goddess Nvywa, who came to mend the sky, was angry that he had poked a hole in his nest and had to divert her attention to mend it. However, love was born after a long time. Goddess Nvywa, who was interested in Pangu, gave him a chair as a token of love…"
"Really?" The boss's skepticism immediately turned into suspicion. Aren't there only two chairs? It was a pair of tokens. What was unbelievable was that it was used by Nuwa and Pangu! Not to mention the long history, Nuwa and Pangu…he had never heard of any rumors about them.
"You don't believe me? " Boss, since I've already told you about the history of our family's heirloom, I won't hide it from you anymore…" Lin Yilan gritted her teeth. She seemed to have made up her mind. She felt extremely pained as she became the " family's sinner." Then, she looked around warily and waved at the stunned boss, gesturing for him to come closer. She said softly," Look, what's this?"”
Influenced by Lin Yilan's actions, the boss also cautiously leaned over and carefully observed her.
Under the complicated carvings on the wooden chair, there was a shallow mark. If one did not look carefully, one could really ignore it.
" This…" The boss looked at Lin Yilan in confusion. This chair actually had a flaw! Then he couldn't take it! However, why did this lady kindly remind him?
Lin Yilan pointed at another one." Look at that chair. Do you have the same mark on the same spot?"”
Under Lin Yilan's persuasion, the boss cautiously moved closer to another one. His eyes widened in shock. There really was one! Why did the two chairs have the same scar? He was certain that this was not man-made, so what was going on?
Seeing that the shop owner's curiosity had been piqued, Lin Yilan tried to tempt him further.""We have to start from a few years later. After Pangu and Nuwa fell in love, they lived in seclusion together. The two chairs that they left behind were targeted by a guy from the west who came to our place to steal fire.”Lin Yilan had never paid much attention to western myths. Therefore, she couldn't remember the name of the god who stole fire for humans, so she let an anonymous person replace it. Lin Yilan was very satisfied with her transition. "So he stole them back and planned to start a fire by drilling wood. However, man's plan was not as good as God's plan. He never expected that when he returned to the Garden of Eden with two chairs on his back, the Celestial Hound, who was currently watching the garden at home, would be kidnapped by God Erlang. He was so angry that he chased after him. The two chairs were unclaimed again. Later, Adam and Eve, who came here for a tryst, found them and happily moved them home. This chair has witnessed the reproduction of humans…"
Seeing that both the boss and Xiao Mo were intoxicated by the story, Lin Yilan continued her western combination.""Later on, Adam and Eve grew old. Just as they were about to retire, they unfortunately gave birth. The terrorists kidnapped the two old men! They tied them to chairs and threw them into helicopters, threatening to crash into the US's pentagon if they didn't let the government become president. After receiving the information, Cupid immediately carried his bow and arrow and went to save them. At this moment, Adam, who was on the helicopter, saw that he was about to die, so he looked at his wife affectionately and comforted her gently... I'm thirsty, do you have water?”
The two audiences who were fully focused were stunned. What? Why did Adam say this to his wife? Could it be that there was a profound meaning behind it?
Lin Yilan saw that the two of them were thinking about the words " I'm thirsty, do you have water " with serious expressions. The corner of her eyes twitched a few times, and she kindly reminded them,"I said I'm thirsty. Give me some water to drink! My mouth is dry from talking!"
"Eh? Did you say that?" Xiao Mo asked foolishly.
"Nonsense! Which sentence wasn't said by me just now! Boss, where's the water?"
"Coming right up!" After coming back to his senses, the stocky boss quickly moved his slightly oversized body and quickly delivered the water. He was looking forward to the upcoming exhibition! How could he waste time at such a critical moment?
Satisfied, Lin Yilan moistened her throat and once again used her imagination that had no concept of time and space."Adam said,'My child, there was once a sincere relationship placed in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. There are no more painful things in the world than this. If the heavens could give me another chance, I would say three words to that girl: "I love you!" If I have to add a time limit, I hope it's 10,000 years! Baby, now our grandson's grandson…I'll skip 10,000 words here…Kidnapped us. I don't know if it's too late to say this, but can you feel my sincerity?'Eve nodded affectionately." I know, I know. Old man, I'm very happy to die with you!'‘Baby!" Old man!"
The other two were so touched that they wiped their tears. How could two people who loved each other so much die?!
The boss had been standing for so long that he couldn't bear the weight of his body. He moved another chair and was about to sit down and listen carefully, but he was stopped by Lin Yilan. The boss looked at her strangely.”
"You can't sit, let me finish. When Cupid arrived, he was just a step too late. The plane had already crashed into the pentagon. At that time, he was so angry that he directly shot arrows. As a result, people who were completely unrelated were pitifully pulled together, such as Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Romeo and Juliet, Cowherd and Weaver Girl... But their tragic experience is later. We return to the scene. When Cupid's arrows were shooting randomly, a miracle happened! A black shadow suddenly flew out from the thick smoke. Cupid took a closer look and saw that it was Ultraman! He was still holding two chairs in his arms, and the people on the chairs were hugging each other tightly, crying tears of joy. Of course, the arrows that were shot by Cupid had not disappeared. One of them narrowly cut across two chairs and left a mark.”
Lin Yilan talked about how the sky was dark and the sand and stones were flying around, and how there was no life and there was no truth. The two listeners were terrified as they listened. Sometimes, they broke out in cold sweat for the two protagonists, and sometimes, they cheered. Their poor little hearts were beating up and down. After hearing that the two of them were saved, they all heaved a sigh of relief. As expected, miracles still existed!
"Later, they lived happily together. The world was at peace, and the realization of society was achieved. Under the leadership of the people, they moved toward a free society…But the point I want to talk about is that these two chairs not only experienced life and death, but they were also blessed by the arrow of love! These two scars were the evidence! Boss, this is the reason why I didn't let you sit down. As long as a man and a woman sit on this chair together, they are destined to fall in love. Moreover, they will grow old together and live happily ever after!”Lin Yilan had just finished speaking when she saw the owner hugging the empty chair tightly. His eyes were sparkling as he couldn't bear to part with this treasure."Miss, name a price. I want these two chairs!”
Before Lin Yilan could start laughing, the innocent Xiao Mo pounced on her and shouted,""No! We don't want to be one anymore!" What a joke. This chair had a long history and involved many " famous people." Of course, she had never heard of many people's names. However, Pangu, Nuwa, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl all had great backgrounds!
"How can that be? No! Since you're already here, you have to be one!" At this moment, the honest boss was starting to act shamelessly for this treasure.
"Can you afford this priceless treasure?!”
"I'll get them even if I have to go bankrupt and borrow money!”
"No! This is ours!"
Lin Yilan felt a headache coming on. She pulled back Xiao Mo, who was struggling to get his chair back. It seemed like she would have to get rid of this gullible child when she was making up nonsense in the future. Then, he looked at the boss with a fawning expression." Let's not talk about the background of these chairs. Look at their quality. What are they called?! It hasn't rotted since ancient times. Do you think it's an ordinary chair?”Seeing the boss shaking his head desperately, Lin Yilan finally felt relieved and said," If I didn't need money urgently, I wouldn't have pawned this heirloom.”After a pause, he looked at the two chairs with reluctance in his eyes. The boss was so nervous that he quickly pulled them back into his arms."Miss, you must be decisive at that time. You must not waver! Quickly state your price!" So that he could pay up early so that they wouldn't regret it again.
Lin Yilan was about to burst out laughing in her heart, but she still said seriously,""Boss, seeing that you're an honest man, it's not easy to do business. How about this, five taels!”As soon as he finished speaking, the shop was so quiet that one could even hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground. Looking at the two of them in a daze, Lin Yilan reflected on whether she had asked for too much.
The boss, who was the first to react, rushed back to the inner room to retrieve the silver. Xiao Mo, who was being pulled by Lin Yilan, almost fainted from anger. He didn't care about their master-servant relationship and had forgotten that he had been beaten by this master countless times. He roared at Lin Yilan,"Miss! It's fine if you take this treasure out to pawn, but why is it so cheap?!”
"Cheap? Is five taels very little?" Had he been deceived by the television again?
"How could you pawn such a priceless treasure for five taels?!”
Oh! Lin Yilan was enlightened. What Xiao Mo meant was that five taels wasn't a small amount, but it wasn't worth it compared to this guy who had a " history ".
However, to be able to pawn the chair for tens of times the price, it was a good deal no matter how one thought about it. Hence, after receiving the silver notes, Lin Yilan dragged Xiao Mo, who had sworn to protect the chair, away without any reluctance.
The pawnshop owner touched the chair again and again, his mouth almost crooked from laughing. Baby, baby! Where should I put it?
He would never know that the lucky star he thought of had cheated him of a lot of money. He didn't know that the two scratches that served as evidence were actually left behind by Lin Yilan when she tied the two chairs back to back in the morning. At that time, she had planned to drag them, but unfortunately, they were too heavy, so she could only untie them and use the back-to-back ones.
Of course, after a long time, when these two chairs returned to Lin Yilan's hands at a sky-high price, her expression…Let's wait and see.
