"What's going on? Who is this young man?”
"A distant relative of mine asked me to find a job for this child." Wang Taichu smiled.”
"Is there a need to find someone?”the shop owner said.
"He has to have a good character and be trustworthy.”
Wang Taichu's cautiousness satisfied Old Gu. He nodded and said,""Very."
The shop owner chimed in." What's so difficult about that? Let's try him out today."”
"How?"
The shop owner patted his chest.
Su Tong, who was wandering aimlessly, did not know that she had become a target.
Just as she walked out of the second shop, she heard a clang at the door of the shop next door, followed by a crisp clatter. Su Tong took a look and saw a young man in his twenties squatting down anxiously to pick up the items.
"Tsk, you can't even do such a small thing well.”The shop owner walked out of the shop with his back straight. His eyes were looking down and he kept scolding. It was obvious that he had no intention of helping.
The young man was anxious and ashamed. Su Tong looked at him, who was about the same age as her, and then thought about her own experience at work. It was inevitable that she would sympathize with him.
However, it was a matter of money after all. If he rashly went forward to help, the boss would suspect that he had secretly hidden a few pieces. Wouldn't he have a mouth to explain? Just as he was hesitating, the young clerk had almost picked up the last few pieces on the ground. The boss saw this and snorted unhappily, turned around and entered the shop.
The waiter carefully looked around and felt that he had not left anything behind. He heaved a sigh of relief and sighed. Just as he was about to turn around, Su Tong called out softly,"Wait a minute!"
The waiter looked at Su Tong in surprise, not knowing what she meant.
Su Tong extended her index finger and said,"There's still some in the cracks of the bricks."”
The shop assistant quickly moved a few steps to the place Su Tong pointed at. The cracks in the bluestone bricks were very small, and the copper coins were erected inside. It was really easy to miss them. It seemed that it would be quite troublesome to take them out.
The boss was urging him to go in and get busy, so the waiter was a little hesitant. These old copper coins were not worth much at all. It seemed that the shop assistant had been urged by the boss and did not want them anymore.
"That one looks pretty good. It's probably quite valuable.”
The shop assistant smiled gratefully at Su Tong and immediately rolled up his sleeve to use another coin to follow the gap. He used his fingernails to take out the missing coin.
The three people upstairs nodded in satisfaction.
"Young man, you're not bad," said the shop owner.”
Then, he called another shop assistant over and gave a few instructions. The shop assistant accepted the order and left.
Su Tong was walking on the street in front of the shop when a person suddenly rushed over and bumped into her, causing her to almost stagger.
The person left without looking back. Su Tong muttered," Who is it?" She looked down and saw a wallet lying on the ground. It must have been dropped by that person.
Su Tong took the wallet and chased after him." Hey, your wallet! Your wallet!"
The man was fast, and Su Tong was already panting when she caught up.
After returning the wallet, he was stopped by the shop assistant who had spilled the money."Brother, come here for a moment."
Su Tong felt a little strange, but she still went over.
"Brother, the copper coins you reminded me to pick up are indeed valuable. Our boss said that the market price is at least 20,000 yuan.”
"No need, no need."
"Yes." The shop owner finally showed up with a warm smile on his face." Little brother, it's all thanks to you this time that our shop avoided a loss of 20,000 yuan. We have to thank you!”
As he spoke, he took out a painting and handed it to Su Tong.
It was fine if he didn't look, but when he did, three black lines appeared on Su Tong's head.
It looked like a scroll, but there was a lot of dust on it. It was obviously something that could not be sold in the corner.
The boss stuffed the food into Su Tong's hands and went up to the second floor.
Su Tong scratched her head. What day was it today? Why were there so many people testing her with all kinds of things?
Wait a minute, why did this scene sound so familiar? He thought about it again. Hey, wasn't this the scene where the White Lady tested Xu Xian?
Why? Did I get lucky? Where is my White Lady?
Su Tong looked around.
There was no White Lady here, so he lowered his head and looked at the scroll that was forcefully stuffed into his hand. He scratched his head and opened the scroll to take a look.
It was a portrait of a person with a human face, a bird body, and a bird standing upright. He dragged a long tail, holding a needle in one hand and raising his arm to perform acupuncture.
The image of this person was too distinct. Su Tong could almost recognize at a glance that the person in the picture was a famous divine doctor from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He was from Qinyue. He had a more well-known name, Bian Que.
Bianque had once lived in the Nine Immortals Cave of the Magpie Mountain in the middle of the hill. He had been taught by Lord Chang Sang and had learned all the forbidden medical methods. Coincidentally, at the head of the Pengque Mountain, above Bianque's cave abode, there was a natural stone magpie who was about to fly and a magical stone man who was observing the world. The people of Zhao regarded the people of Qinyue as auspicious magpies and respectfully called them "Bianque".
Su Tong looked at the painting roughly from head to toe. There was no signature or seal. Clearly, the boss had decided that the painting was not worth much, so he replaced it with a copper coin to send her off.
Just as he was about to roll up the scroll again, Su Tong inadvertently swept his gaze across the face of the old man in the painting. He looked kind, but his eyes were unexpectedly clear and deep, as if he could see through people's hearts. Just as they met, Su Tong's eyes seemed to be pricked by a needle. He immediately quivered and almost threw the scroll in his hand away.
"Could it be that I've been standing under the sun for too long and fainted?”Su Tong thought in shock and suspicion. She instinctively looked up at the sun. It was bright, but the pain in her eyes had already disappeared in an instant.
"Hiss, could it be an illusion?" Su Tong muttered softly and looked at the portrait again with a confirmed attitude. This time, the eyes of the old man in the portrait seemed to have a magical power that attracted Su Tong's gaze. At the same time, a dazzling golden light burst out and shot into Su Tong's pupils.
In an instant, the pain intensified, but she could not move. Su Tong felt that her eyes were almost swollen and could not bear it. After what seemed like a long time, but also seemed like only a few seconds, the golden light in the old man's eyes in the picture faded, and Su Tong's eyes struggled out of the pain.
Su Tong was shocked and was anxious to see how his eyes were doing. However, he was a young man and did not have the habit of carrying a small mirror with him. After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and turned on the function that he had never used before-mirror.
The eyes on the phone screen were neither red nor swollen, nor were they bleeding. There was nothing unusual about them. If there was anything different, it would be that the eyes had become exceptionally bright and clear, and the pupils were black and shiny.
